Kubiak: Foster, Tate Are "End Of The Week" Decisions
The Texans signed three running backs earlier this week just in case, but they?re hoping at least one of the regulars is able to go this weekend.
According to Brian Smith of the Houston Chronicle, Ben Tate (ribs) practiced lightly on Wednesday and said earlier this week he expects to play Sunday night against the Colts.
Arian Foster (hamstring), on the other hand, didn?t practice Wednesday but ran on the side with trainers, and coach Gary Kubiak wasn?t ready to rule him out either.
Kubiak said, however, that he still thinks it will be an "end of the week decision" for both players, and although having both would help, getting one of them back would be significant enough as the team tries to salvage something with Case Keenum starting at quarterback.

Because UKIP don't, and probably never will, reflect the preferences of the median voter, i.e. they are too far right of the mainstream level.
Why isn't UKIP more popular?
|Posted on
|Take our short survey, £100 of Amazon vouchers to be won!
(Original post by chefdave)
Because their honest, common sense approach to policy is out of step with a largely moronic British public.
Our voting system- those broadly supportive will probably vote Conservative as for them it is less bad than letting in the Labour party.
Offline0ReputationRep:(Original post by patrickinator)
• End the ban on smoking in allocated rooms in public houses, clubs and hotels.
Cos they are nazi idiots - defense budget too big as it is, smoking ban, etc
I think one of the main reasons that UKIP isn't seen as a genuine contender for government in the UK is because a lot of people view leaving the European Union - the policy that they are instantly associated with - as impractical. The vast majority of people I know feel that the EU needs reform but is, ultimately, the best place for the UK. Whether you believe this yourself or not, if the majority believes it then the majority will not vote for a party whose main aim appears to them to be withdrawing from the European Union.
As well as this, UKIP falls into the traps that a lot of third parties do. The Greens, for example, as known as "that environment party"; a great deal of people don't know about their economic or social policies in much detail. The same goes for UKIP with their EU policy. A lot of people who might actually agree with their policies if they looked at them don't know about them. The two-party system is completely ingrained in this country anyway, and any chance of that changing has been sabotaged somewhat by the unpopularity of the Lib Dems' actions in the coalition.
Also, while I have tried to keep my own political views out of this post, it does seem that a lot of their policies are quite impractical and they are just saying certain things to garner votes as minor parties with little chance of forming a government are notorious for doing. As people have pointed out above, the financial ramifications of leaving the EU and cutting tax left right and centre would make expensive policies like punishing criminals more severely and increasing the defence budget somewhat difficult.

Thank you, when will they learn not to keep voting conservative, labour and liberal democrats.
Its policies are more or less what i agree with. The only bit bothering me is the bit about multiculturalism splitting society.
That makes me feel like if UKIP goes into power, I'll be too afraid to leave the house in case someone abuses me for being non-white.

That makes me feel like if UKIP goes into power, I'll be too afraid to leave the house in case someone abuses me for being non-white.
Because they have next to no base. Compare them to say, the Greens, a party they're almost guaranteed to beat on a national level; The Greens have over 150 councillors (including control of Brighton council) and perform pretty well at devolved elections, whereas UKIP have less than 30 councillors and don't do well at devolved elections.
To a degree, that's because despite having other policies, what comes across as the defining UKIP feature is right-Euroscepticism, and while people might care about that, they generally don't at local level.
In this sense, UKIP can never really hope to be more than trying to drag the Tories to their positions on certain issues a bit more.

I was reading it and I thought "oh they seem like a good party". Then I read this.
Posh *****.
(Original post by patrickinator)
WTF. it is not the colour of skin that has affected multiculturism it is these old beliefs and religions that are immiscible with the general population.
My religion may be used against me
Because they are racist bigots (some members/councillors/people standing for Parliament anyway)
also op do you have the eu flag as a joke.. or..... (?)
UKIP is clearly to the right of the political spectrum and draws support mainly from those who feel abandoned by the Conservatives. Why should somebody believing in left wing values vote for UKIP?
Offline3ReputationRep:(Original post by patrickinator)
you spelt 'no' wrong it is 'know'. my maths is perfect... 100*50=5000. simples
let us concentrate on the main reason for this thread because UKIP is awesome.
your maths is wrong because to get harriers now would require brand new ones, hence you would have to buy them at it's brand new price, your basing your stupidness maths on old and used harriers of which 5000 do not at all exist.
UKIP is a joke, and you have just shown the kind of people whom follow it.

oh, and by the way the maths thing was a joke to poke fun at the stupiditiy of stopping the use of our harriers which still had a good number of years left.
(Original post by patrickinator)
This is untrue. i think you are just affiliating UKIP with the BNP.
Like i said before, all their other policies are not bad.
Explain to me at least how you think the UKIP would get rid of multiculturalism since it "split society" ??
UKIP is seen by most people to be a party full of incompetent, right-wing nutters. From my experience, this picture is mostly accurate as well. I dread to think what they'd be like running the country, with their pie-in-the-sky policies and completely moronic leader. People want their politicians to be capable and competent, something UKIP's candidates have constantly failed to prove themselves as.
I don't vote for them because all the UKIP MP for our area could throw up was "leave Europe".

The role of adjuvant therapy for recurrent colorectal cancer is still evolving. Radical surgical resection alone or combined with external radiotherapy and often with chemotherapy have been commonly used in treating isolated locoregional recurrence of colon cancer. In the past 2 decades, a major advance in this field has been the addition of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) to external beam radiotherapy (EBRT).
Using this combination, Pezner and colleagues successfully treated a few patients with bulky recurrent colon tumors and achieved long-term local control and survival. Although small in number, this study has further illustrated important points. Intraoperative radiotherapy has the advantage of delivering a high-energy electron beam in a single dose to a clearly defined residual tumor bed without exposure and damage to adjacent organs and tissues. However, IORT and EBRT cannot eliminate local failures if complete tumor excision is not achieved, as observed in this study and others.1 Curative resections are often not possible in locally recurrent colon lesions because most recurrent tumors manifest with fixity to adjacent structures.

The column that says we know too little about too much going on in Bridgeton, but we're getting closer
Good evening!
No rain at all.
"Just wanted to give you an update on the playground renovation.
"I met with Kevin Rabago, Melissa Hemple and Dean Dellaquila yesterday to come up with a game-plan for the project.
"We now have the schematic done and can begin to plan out what the new layout will be.
"I am waiting to get a list of requested items from Kevin and wanted to meet with you to chat about strategy for encouraging individuals to donate to help with this (both time and funds).
"I believe that this would be a great project to encourage the community to come together around something that could help strengthen families and provide positive means for children, youth and families to enjoy each other.
"Thanks for all that you do.''

Perfect timing,
We just wrote a story on Revive South Jersey and English as a second language classes downtown.
And, you, Jon, are Revive South Jersey.
The playground Jon is talking about is Johnson Reeves in Bridgeton.
At one time, it was the place to go to play, with the world's highest sliding board.
When it starting getting dangerous, it was closed down.
Dare the people who brought a three-week summer camp to The Villas tackle such a project off East Avenue?
Of course.
Or we could have organized activities in the recreation area.
But you'd have to walk to them from East Avenue.
Johnson Reeves would be cheaper and safer.
If there were a school nearby, we could get a $770,000 grant.

Domestic Violetsby Matthew Norman
Tom Violet always thought that by the time he turned thirty-five, he'd have everything going for him. Fame. Fortune. A beautiful wife. A satisfying career as a successful novelist. A happy dog to greet him at the end of the day. The reality, though, is far different. He's got a wife, but their problems are bigger than he can even imagine. And he's written a novel, but the manuscript he's slaved over for years is currently hidden in his desk drawer while his father, an actual famous writer, just won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. His career, such that it is, involves mind-numbing corporate buzzwords, his pretentious archnemesis Gregory, and a hopeless, completely inappropriate crush on his favorite coworker. Oh . . . and his dog, according to the vet, is suffering from acute anxiety. Tom's life is crushing his soul, but he's decided to do something about it. (Really.) Domestic Violets is the brilliant and beguiling story of a man finally taking control of his own happiness-even if it means making a complete idiot of himself along the way.

American Eagle Named Best Regional Airline in North America in 2011 World Airline Awards
PARIS, June 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- American Eagle Airlines has been named Best Regional Airline in North America in the annual World Airline Survey by Skytrax, a London-based research organization that conducts the annual poll. The award was accepted today during the annual World Airline Awards at the Paris Air Show.
The World Airline Awards, voted on by airline customers, are based on results from 18.8 million questionnaires, covering more than 200 airlines worldwide. Award winners are determined by measuring more than 35 different aspects of passenger satisfaction for product and service standards, covering the experience across both airport and onboard environments.
"It is a distinguished honor to be named Best Regional Airline in North America," said Dan Garton, President and Chief Executive Officer of American Eagle. "This award bestowed upon us by our loyal customers reinforces American Eagle's long-standing belief that an outstanding customer experience is key to our success. My sincere thanks to our customers for their support and to the more than 12,000 American Eagle employees, whose hard work and commitment have earned this recognition."
American Eagle has provided regional airline service to American Airlines for more than 25 years expanding American's network and providing customers in small to medium-sized cities with convenient connections to American's worldwide destinations and the vast oneworld global network. In fact, Eagle has launched nearly 60 new routes since 2010 adding 26 new destinations to American's route map.
In keeping with its focus on enhancing the onboard travel experience for customers, American Eagle last year introduced First Class service onboard its fleet of Bombardier CRJ-700 aircraft. The aircraft feature nine First Class seats that offer four-way adjustable headrests, ergonomically-contoured back and seat cushions and an articulated seat bottom, which allow customers to recline with less impact to the legroom of the passengers seated behind them. As an additional inflight experience enhancement, First Class customers are offered a complimentary dining service if their flight is longer than two hours and occurs during a meal time.
Currently, this service is available on all of Eagle's CRJ-700 jets on select flights from Chicago, Los Angeles and New York to key business markets such as Atlanta, Houston, Denver, Phoenix, Newark, Minneapolis and Washington, D.C.
About American Eagle

Get ready for hurricanes and heading back to school!
What a combination, but yes, that is the timing in our neck of the woods. We have our second named hurricane to remind us that now is the time to get ready. At the same time, it is time to adjust bedtimes, organize school clothes, school supplies and school schedules.
Dear Liz,
We are new to the area. Our children (ages 8 and 12) watch the weather and ask us what we'll do. I've read your suggestion to know if we are in the flooding area and areas that could be required for evacuation. We are. Well, that's as far as I have gotten. My husband is busy with his new job. So, it is up to me.
"Not prepared"
Dear "Not,"
Thank you for your honesty and awareness of the need to be ready. And good for your kids for their interest in weather and the need to plan ahead. Preparedness is a family affair. Your children are of the age and maturity that they can do a lot to contribute to the family preparedness.
Everyone has heard me say, "Don't be scared, be prepared" (now copyrighted and becoming a workbook for families – will keep you posted on that). My second quotation is "Don't be scared, be smart." And there is a wealth of information on the Internet and throughout our community about exactly how to prepare: 1. Make a plan, 2. Build a kit and 3. Stay informed. For example, this coming weekend (Aug. 8) there is a preparation fair at Johnson Haygood Stadium in Charleston. Organizations like the American Red Cross will have a lot of free information for families and individuals.
Since you are in an evacuation zone, it is important to have emergency plans and kits for staying put AND leaving.
Each family needs to create a special backpack or other container of "go kits." And don't forget the needs of any pets.
Remember everyone – Red Cross shelters do not accept pets. Charleston Animal Society has tips for pet owners about these considerations. Make family preparedness a fun and ongoing activity. Places to start include: redcross.org and prepare.gov.
Make sure you create plans for all emergencies including house fires, sudden illness of a parent, personal safety and self defense. Once you customize plans for your family, you will have the great peace of mind only preparation and thus self sufficiency (along with faith!) can bring you.
Dear Liz,
We are trying to adjust our children's bedtimes in advance of starting back to school. And it is not going well. Every night is a battle. Help me!
Dear "Insomnia,"
At least you have a sense of humor about it. Yes, you are wise to do this – the opening bell is fast approaching.
The best advice is make the change in 10-20 minute increments each day.
That includes an earlier wake-up call. Waking children up earlier and getting them moving (if possible with something fun) will make them tired enough to go to bed earlier.
Bribery works, too. Be crazy – jump on their beds in the morning and play their favorite music to wake them up.
They will tell their grandchildren about that someday.
Lecturing and "reasoning" does not work. Just make it a fact of their existence: "We are going to bed earlier and getting up earlier to make school easier for you, period." I believe in black-out drapes (now very inexpensive at places like Wal-Mart) and even changing the clocks in your house. If all else fails, don't stress; they will adapt within two to three weeks once school starts.
If they complain, tell them in a nice tone of voice, "I'm sorry YOU choose to make life hard for yourself by not adjusting to school wake up and bedtimes earlier."
Please send your questions and comments to firstname.lastname@example.com. Liz Brisacher Sharp is a Masters-level Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice with 35 years of experience in mental health including serving as a school counselor, and as a consultant and mediator.

From happy hour beers to the breakfast Bloody Mary's, alcohol, and those who deliver it to our insatiably thirsty lips, are a part of the modern landscape. Yet I am willing to bet some of you out there have no idea how to properly take care of those who take care of you. Here's an example:
It's Saturday night.
You and your fellow degenerates are heading downtown to pursue the blackout, as you're known to do from time to time. You walk in to your regular place and greet your favorite person in the world. The bartender. The ordering of rounds begins. Three bottles of beer, two pints, four shots of tequila, and something pink for the guy who "had a bad experience".
As the pre-game progresses, more and more drinks flow in and out of you. Some of these drinks are taken care of by the bartender (on the house) and make your night seem all the better. I mean the only thing greater than an ice cold beverage is a free one, right? As the time to settle up and move out into the night approaches, the tab comes due. Decision time. What do you tip?
Let us start with a hopefully obvious line of logic: The people that take care of you are doing so as a part of their livelihood. They are compensated in a way that accounts for tipping as part of their income. The vast majority of servers and bartenders are paid approximately half of minimum wage. Therefore, the addition of a tip is NOT OPTIONAL. These people depend on you to survive just as you depend on them to have a good time.
Now, back the predicament of what to tip your friendly neighborhood bartender...
Consider the facts of the case. You have run a tab with a familiar bartender. You and your fellow drinkers have been treated to free drinks. All your drinks arrived promptly and were well concocted. When the time comes for your tab to be settled, the amount that you owe is less than what it should be on account of the free drinks. So here is what you do:
- Tip at least 20% on the amount presented in the tab
- Calculate the retail cost of the drinks that you were comped and tip half of their value on top of the standard 20%.
- Tip in cash if at all possible
Let's break these down one at a time:
- Twenty percent is the standard for good service. You and your friends had a great time getting sauced, not just because there was alcohol, but because of the fun, friendly, and generous bartender who poured it for you. Have some self respect and pony up.
- It is very important to note that free drinks are not free. They are a tool that bartenders, managers, and owners use to build loyalty in their client base. If you do not acknowledge their gesture in your tip, it is not likely to happen again. A tip of half the retail value demonstrates gratitude and increases the likelihood of free drinks in the future.
- Cash is king. It's fast, convenient, and most importantly, not reported to the IRS.
Let us take this to an extreme example:
Your tab comes back and is only ten dollars. You know you drank enough to annihilate all those lazy brain cells that can't hold their booze ("Buffalo Theory"). In this situation, it is my opinion that a little more than half of retail should be given. No one is ever going to fault you for tipping too well as long as it is done with honest gratitude in mind.
This is the key component to the entire concept of gratuity. You are conveying sincere gratitude.
As with many things, this is all a judgment call. The pointers I've laid out above should be considered proper conduct for acceptable service. If you can not afford to tip, you probably should not be wining and dining at this level. When you do tip however, do so in a manner that truly says thank you appropriately. You'll notice your service will be better, your outings more enjoyable, and who knows, maybe a bit more love on that next cocktail.

New Jersey has become the second state to ban conversion therapy. Republican Gov. Chris Christie signed the bill into law Monday.
The measure bars licensed therapists from trying to make gay minors straight. Christie said parental choice takes a back seat to the health risks associated with trying to change a child's sexual orientation, as outlined by the American Psychological Association.
"At the outset of this debate, I expressed my concerns about government limiting parental choice on the care and treatment of their own children," Christie said. "I still have those concerns. Government should tread carefully into this area and I do so here reluctantly. I have scrutinized this piece of legislation with that concern in mind."
"However, I also believe that on issues of medical treatment for children, we must look to experts in the field to determine the relative risks and rewards," he continued. "The American Psychological Association has found that efforts to change sexual orientation can pose critical health risks including, but not limited to, depression, substance abuse, social withdrawal, decreased self-esteem and suicidal thoughts."
"I believe that exposing children to these health risks without clear evidence of benefits that outweigh these serious risks is not appropriate," he said.
Christie says he believes people are born gay and that homosexuality is not a sin -- a view inconsistent with his Catholic faith.

CHARLESTON - Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin urged the Legislature on Wednesday to expand several policies that he thinks could uproot West Virginia from difficult financial constraints.
The Democrat pointed to reductions in business-franchise and corporate income taxes and touted plans for a new ethane cracker plant and three polyethylene plants in Wood County. He also touched on a wide-ranging education bill that was a prominent issue during the last legislative session.
"We continue to experience positive change across the Mountain State and have set in motion many initiatives that will not fully bloom until long after my term has ended - but the hope of a fruitful harvest keeps us working hard each and every day," Tomblin said in prepared remarks in which he likened the work he and state lawmakers are doing to gardening.
Tomblin outlined how he plans to build on those programs, including a proposal to create an A-through-F grading scale for West Virginia's schools. He also wants to emphasize science, technology, engineering and math education. Tomblin is suggesting $500,000 more to fuel technical-career-training courses first funded last year.
And he hopes to improve the business climate, as well as fight drug abuse and better prepare the state for emergencies.
Although West Virginia is struggling through a budget deficit, Tomblin said the state remains strong because it prepared itself for lean years.
"We pay our bills on time and we've invested in our future by continuing to work together as we face future challenges," Tomblin said. "We will not impose financial burdens on future generations. In fact, our reserve fund is one of the healthiest in the nation. "
Despite the budget scenario, Tomblin still wants to reward teachers and state workers with modest raises. Teachers would receive a 2 percent raise in his budget, while state employees would get a $504 pay boost.
Tomblin emphasized that the state can spur growth without raising taxes. His budget taps into a $918 million rainy day fund that is one of the nation's best.
"Unlike other states that had to drain their reserve funds during the recent recession, West Virginia did not have to borrow one dime," Tomblin said.
He ended the speech by saying West Virginia, whose population is declining, has a bright future.
"For those who have left the Mountain State - come home. Come home to take advantage of the growing opportunities we are creating for you," he said. "West Virginia's garden is thriving and we will yield a great harvest for years to come."

SPONTANEOUS internal biliary fistula is not an uncommon complication of neglected cholelithiasis, peptic ulcers, and carcinoma. The incidence, as given by various authors.1 differs but seems to vary between 3 and 5% of all cases of biliary disease. During the past three years there have been 60 patients with disorders of the biliary tract at this hospital who either have been operated on or have come to autopsy. Of these, there have been two with internal biliary fistula, due to peptic ulcer in both.
Hicken and Coray1b state that 90% of biliary fistulas are caused by cholelithiasis and 6% are due to perforation of a peptic ulcer eroding into another viscus. The remaining 4% are due to carcinoma.An internal biliary fistula, once established, generally remains open until the cause has been removed. Not only may the original fistula remain, but additional fistulas between other organs occasionally

Alterra moving into Third Ward Caffe space, planning 'different experience'
Alterra Coffee Roasters will beef up its downtown presence in midsummer when it takes over the space recently vacated by Third Ward Caffe. Because the storefront on E. St. Paul Ave. is smaller than Alterra's typical cafe, the coffee company is looking at atypical options for the space.
Alterra has 11 other cafes around the Milwaukee area, including one less than a half-mile away, across the Milwaukee River from the Third Ward. A twelfth is due to open in March in Madison, Alterra's first cafe outside the metro area; the thirteenth is due in summer also, at N. 68th and W. Wells streets in Wauwatosa. »Read Full Blog Post
Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

Lean terminal services with NX
NX provides fast terminal services, even over slow connections.
High-performing GUI-based terminal services were just a dream for Linux users. Now NoMachine's NX and the independent FreeNX project provide the combination of tools you need for fast graphic terminal sessions in Linux. You can even connect through a browser window. NoMachine started developing a high-performance terminal server solution in 2000. The announcement that NoMachine was releasing its own libraries under the GPL in March 2003 caused a stir, particularly because NoMachine's NX software supports major protocols like RDP (Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol), VNC (Virtual Network Computing), and X11. NoMachine also lets users control any KDE, Gnome, or Windows session with just a slow modem connection, which is even more surprising in light of the fact that NX supports RSA or DSA encryption.

It's not Ellen. It's not Elaine. It's Elin, pronounced E-lin.
Such a pretty name. A unique name. And almost no one ever said it correctly, until about three weeks ago.
That's when Elin Woods, from Northern Cambria, suddenly saw her incredibly rare name become one of the most famous names on the planet.
"It's odd to hear it," she said. "I'll be listening to the radio and they'll say, 'Elin Woods,' and I stop sometimes and say, 'Wait a minute, why are they talking about me?'"
They're not. They're talking about Tiger Woods' wife, whose legal name may be Elin Nordegren, but for better or worse, 'til divorce do they part, the world sees her as Elin Woods.
The Swedish bombshell, a former model, reportedly will divorce Woods because of a cheating scandal that has tarnished the golfing legend's reputation.
"Pretty much from the start of [the scandal] people were like, 'Oh my gosh, the two of you have the same name,'" the local Elin said.
She recently was checking out at a bookstore and handed the girl at the register her credit card.
"I had to give them my information," Elin said, "and after I said my name, she like stood there and said, 'Oh, hi Tiger's wife."
Tiger's real wife has a very common first name for her native country. But in this country, the peculiar spelling and pronunciation of Elin has never quite caught on.
Couple that name with the last name Woods, and it makes for a remarkably rare combination.
There's a cool Website called HowManyOfMe.com that attempts to calculate the number of people living in the United States who have a given name. The site, which uses census data from 1990 and 2000, admits it cannot always provide an exact number but more of a ballpark estimate.
Out of more than 308 million Americans, the site concluded that there is exactly one person named Elin Woods. She lives 25 miles from Altoona and has always been proud of her name.
Well, almost always.
"Growing up, my name's Elin, and no one knows it," she said. "Those bicycle license plates, you couldn't get Elin on one of those unless you ordered it. But my whole life I was like, 'Why couldn't my mom have named me Sarah?'"
She eventually embraced the name because of its uniqueness.
"After a while, I was like, my name's Elin, and it totally created my persona having a different name," she said. "I like being sort of the only one in a way.
"If someone were to say my name, you have to know me because I'm not Jenny. You can hear Jenny in a mall, and like 10 people could turn around. But for someone to say like, 'Hey, Elin,' it's probably going to be me."
Now, thanks to the scandal, her name forever will be synonymous with the scorned wife of a celebrity.
But hey, at least people know how to pronounce it.
"It's kind of funny because it's like, 'No, no, no, it's E-lin," Woods said. "Throughout my whole life I've been called just a variety of names."
Some people used to joke with her about her last name, asking if she is Tiger's cousin. Then he went and married a lady with the same first name.
"Once they got married, instantly people were like, 'Hey, did you know?' - like I wasn't aware of it," Elin said. "That was always kind of funny."
It went, she added, from being, "Oh yeah, it's your cousin, Tiger," to "now I ended up being married to him. Go figure."
Elin got her first name from her mother, Janice, who has that as her middle name. It originated with Elin's grandmother, who once worked with a woman in Indiana, Pa., who also had a daughter with that name.
"For my friends, my name has kind of become normal to them, so I was the original," Elin said.
She now has to share the name, but that's OK since our local Elin Woods also has a fascinating story she can share for years to come.

Since the 2011 NFL schedule was released in late April, fans have been counting down the days until Sept. 8 when the New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers would begin a new season. With the lockout a thing of the past and the countdown at 38 days, the season is finally within reach.
Unlike the other major sports in the United States, which each have at least 82 regular season games, every game in the NFL truly does matter. Eight of the 16 games during the opening week are divisional games and some of them will have an impact on the playoff picture four months later.
The best part about the first week of the season is that everybody starts off 0-0. It doesn't matter what happened last season and it's too early to start thinking about next season, so fans around the league can just enjoy the games.
With that in mind, here are the top five games to track during Week One of the NFL season.

Welcome to Yellowstone National Park. Come along on a 3-dimensional musical journey through one of nature's greatest spectacles. Greet the morning at Grizzly Point... marvel at the mysteries of Lower Geyser Basin... experience the awesome power of Old Faithful... hear magnificent elk bugling across the valley floor... the moody rumbling of distant thunder... walk in solitude along the Yellowstone River as it winds through the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. We've spent hundreds of hours exploring and recording throughout Yellowstone in order to capture the natural soundscape that is unique to this amazing wilderness. By weaving these, and many other natural sounds together with music inspired by our journey, we have created a "Symphony with Nature".

There is an eight-litre jug full of water and two empty jugs; one of them can hold five litres of water and the other three litres. If the water is to be shared equally between two people, how can this be done?

Here it is, as promised and straight from the chef's files via email, The Blue Crab and Roasted Corn Chowder recipe, the very one that is creating such a fuss in Baltimore at the Marriott Waterfront.
Roasting the corn really is a simple task. We should roll a fresh ear or two of the corn in a small amount of olive oil, set all in a single layer into a baking dish, and finally roast the corn in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until the kernels are slightly browned. Once removed from the oven, the corn should be cooled completely before we remove the roasted kernels from the cob.
Crab stock is the definite favorite for this recipe, but, the chef notes that fish stock, chicken stock or even chicken bouillon may be substituted.
The Waterfront's Blue Crab and Roasted Corn Chowder
2 tablespoons butter
2 shallots minced
2 garlic cloves minced
2 medium carrots peeled and diced
4 ribs celery diced
1 large onion diced
2 potatoes peeled and diced
2 cups roasted corn
3 tablespoons flour
5 cups crab, fish, or chicken stock or chicken bouillon
1 ½ cups whipping cream
1 tablespoon Worstershire sauce
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
6 ounces lump or jumbo lump crabmeat, pick shells from meat
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste
In a large saucepan melt the butter and sauté the shallots and garlic for a few minutes over low to medium heat. Add the carrot, celery, onion, potatoes and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Add the corn. Stir in the flour until it's mixed in. Add stock slowly while constantly whisking. Bring to a boil, then simmer for approximately 10 minutes stirring frequently. Add the cream, Worstershire, Old Bay seasoning, crab meat, and parsley. Keep hot. Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy with warm bread or rolls.
Now, we still may be in the summer-entertaining mode. If so, we must try Polly Philpott's dip. It's easy and wonderful.
Polly's Crabmeat Dip
1 package ( 8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
¾ cup mayonnaise
Dash Worcestershire
Dash Tabasco
7 ounces crabmeat
Mix the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise together. Add the Worcestershire and Tabasco. Blend in the flaked crabmeat. Blend all well together and place in baking dish. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Serve warm with chips.
Nachos or crabmeat? Certainly a new twist and one that we'll be delighted to try.
Crab Nachos
6 dozen baked tortilla flour chips
½ cup sour cream
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
½ cup chopped green onions
1 can( 4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
1 pound lump crabmeat, white or canned
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ teaspoon paprika
Preheat oven to broil. Spread tortilla chips in single layer on a large baking sheet. Set aside.
Combine next four ingredients well. Fold in crabmeat and salt and pepper. Spread mixture evenly over chips. Top with shredded cheese and paprika, sprinkling both evenly over crab mixture. Broil 6-8 minutes or until cheese is melted. Make sure this is bubbly but not burned.
My cousin Carol was an outstanding cook, and this next recipe was one of her go-to appetizers. .
My Cousin Carol's Cocktail Nibblers
½ stick butter, melted
4 round slices Pita bread, sliced around edges, then into 4ths
1 package ( 12 ounces) Stouffers Spinach soufflé, thawed, drained
1 can ( 6 ounces) crabmeat, drained
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 tablespoon garlic powder
½ cup Parmesan cheese
Spread melted butter onto Pita slices. Mix soufflé, crabmeat, onion, Parmesan, garlic. Spread ingredients. Cut into bite-sized pieces. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.
A touch of curry can be added to this next one. These canapés can be baked, cooled, then, frozen. We can mix up the mayo, too; reduce the mayonnaise to ¼ cup and add ¼ cup sour cream. The filling makes for a great stuffed mushroom, if we're looking in a mushroom direction.
Crab Canapés
6 ounces lump crabmeat
1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, combine the crabmeat, green onions, cheese, mayonnaise, curry powder, and lemon juice. Mix well. Set aside.
Roll out crescent rolls and either keep as triangles or patch two triangles together to make a square. Fill either the triangles or squares with a tablespoon or two of filling. Roll up or seal the edges. Bake for 12 minutes or until dough is puffy and golden brown. Serve hot.
B. from South Hadley tasted the absolute best hermit cookie bar in Fryeburg, Maine. A chewy, moist, dense, spicy, fruit-and-nut-filled bar is the recipe B. is wanting. She's hoping we can help.

We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'Portfolios'.
We use ad-blockers as well, you know. We gotta keep those servers running though. Did you know that we publish useful books and run friendly conferences — crafted for pros like yourself? E.g. upcoming SmashingConf Barcelona, dedicated to smart front-end techniques and design patterns.
We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'Portfolios'.
The "about me"-page is one of the most overlooked pages in development and one of the highest ranked pages on many websites. In a world that's becoming increasingly connected through the Web, it's important that you engage your audience in a personal and friendly way, otherwise you risk just being another faceless web designer among a sea of websites.
We had to go through hundreds of sites to come up with the following list. It seems most designers and developers run out of steam by the time they got around to developing their about pages. Most designers we came across simply threw up a few hastily written words about themselves instead of treating the page as an important asset. Others, however, have truly taken the time to treat their about page as if it were important as the home page. In fact, some went as far as using their about pages as their home page.
We present 60 beautiful and effective about pages that engage users and neatly present their designers. We also examine the growing trend of Business Card Websites (BCW's).Read more...
The economy is bad. No one's job is really 100% safe, so it's time we all bucked up and got our recession bags packed (just in case!). Your portfolio is already gorgeous, but have you created a drool-worthy resume?
This flimsy one-page document is more important than many people think: the resume is the first portfolio piece that potential employers see, and if they're not impressed, chances are they won't look at the rest of your portfolio. "But I'm not a print designer!" you moan. It doesn't matter, and I don't want to hear your excuses! You need to conquer this, because if you're a great Web designer, you don't want your first impression to be mediocre.
Everyone likes a competition. How about one in which ten good Web designers have to design the same resume in only a few hours? Meet Steven Stevenson, a fictional Web designer, doesn't have a resume. Rules: each designer must translate his work experience, education and interests into their own unique style. Watch and learn, people. At the end is a summary of good tips for Web designer resumes. (If you're interested in taking the challenge yourself, check out misterstevenson.com for all the rules these designers followed, Steven Stevenson's raw data and the chance to add your own entry.)Read more...
You may have a personal portfolio website for a number of reasons. If you're a freelancer, then you'd need one to showcase your work and allow people to contact you. If you're a student (or unemployed), then you'd need one to show prospective employers how good you are and what you can do, so that they might hire you. If you're part of a studio, then you might use one to blog about your design life, show people what you're doing and build your online presence.
A personal portfolio website is all about promoting you. You are a brand, and your name is a brand name. No one is going to know about your brand unless you get it out there; and if you're a Web designer, developer, writer, gamer or any other type of creative, then it's essential that you have a good portfolio website.
You may want to take a look at the following related articles:Read more...
Design portfolios come in various forms. Traditionally they have been print-based and something you would carry to a client pitch or meeting to showcase what you've done and how you do it.

Having your work displayed online removes the geographical restraints that traditional portfolios impose on you.
In this showcase, you'll find a variety of beautiful, unique, and highly-creative portfolio designs. The aim here is to stimulate your creativity and to inspire you to create your own portfolio or re-think your existing one. You'll get to see portfolios from a wide range of fields including web design, product design, illustration, photography, and even animation. Without further ado, we present to you 50 beautiful and creative portfolio designs.

So how can you make sure your portfolio is better than the portfolios of your competitors? How can you point employer's attention to your works?
Creating a successful portfolio is easier than you think. Focus on simplicity, ease of use, hitting your objectives, professionally managing the project, and you'll end up with a successful portfolio. In this article we'll review 5 pitfalls that commonly plague portfolio design.

I love love love red velvet! It's almost always my flavor of choice if there's an option: frozen yogurt, donuts, cookies, cakes, you name it! I was brainstorming and researching ideas to share with you for Valentine's Day and it dawned on me that I had never shared a basic recipe for red velvet cake or cupcakes, so I knew I had to! No these are not on my eating plan to lose the baby weight, but I sacrificed and tried one of them just for you, haha! I quickly sent the rest to work with Adam so I wouldn't be tempted further! Not sure I would've trusted myself around these for very long! These were super moist and especially amazing paired with my new favorite buttercream! Feel free to use cream cheese frosting if you prefer.
Red Velvet Cupcakes
Source: Adapted from AllRecipes.com
Makes approximately 24-26 cupcakes
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup butter, room temperature
2 1/4 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup buttermilk*
1 (1 oz) container red food coloring
2 tsp. vanilla
Buttercream Frosting
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake tins with liners or spray tin liberally with cooking spray, set aside.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda & salt, set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter & sugar until fluffy consistency. Add in eggs one at a time and beat until incorporated. Add in sour cream, buttermilk, food coloring & vanilla. Beat until fully incorporated. Add in flour mixture a little at a time on low speed. Beat until just incorporated.
Using a large cookie or ice cream scoop, scoop batter into prepared cupcake tins, filling approximately 2/3 full.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Place pan on cooling rack and let cupcakes cool in the pans for approximately 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from tin and place on cooling rack to cool completely.
Once completely cool, frost with buttercream frosting. Store in an airtight container.
*For Buttermilk Substitute: you can add 1/2 tbsp. vinegar to a liquid measuring cup and fill the rest of the way to the 1/2 cup mark line with milk. Let stand 10 minutes and add to recipe as directed.
**For the food coloring I always use the Wilton gel no-taste red, just a personal preference
