Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on August 3, 2014.
Patrick Baker and Christopher Dambach
Project by
Patrick Baker and Christopher Dambach
First created | 1 backed
Unique men's neckwear line that will change the way we wear ties.
This project's funding goal was not reached on August 3, 2014.
First created | 1 backed
When you order a TieBros tie, we just need a few things from you. Your neck size, torso length, and the knot you want. From there we manufacture the tie, make the knot permanent through our patent-pending method, and slap an artfully made buckle on the back. Does it hide beautifully under any collar? Yes.
Absolutely not. There is no mold or stitching on a TieBros knot. We actually hand tie the knot for you. It's a real knot through and through with a high quality buckle designed by a U.S Tool Maker.
Exotic knots have been around for decades, but most men never knew of them. Now neckwear is having a resurgance as men want to humbly set themselves apart. This could be for a networking event, a convention, job interview, night on the town, wedding, I could keep going. How does it work?
Of course! After the kickstarter we go into our other knots, all custom tied, made to order, and buckled under the collar.
Is it dry cleanable?
YES. Unless you get oil on the tie (don't do that with any fabric) you're fine.
How long will it last?
A life-time. Because our knot is made permanent, you won't wrinkle the interfacing underneath. This is what causes that permanent squished area on the ties we all know.
What if the size is off?
That's our bad. Send it back and get the correct size.
Why the money "raining" during the video?
Buy our tie and you'll see. There was a purpose.
Do you have a referral system?
Yes. That will all be explained when you receive your tie.
TieBros.Com is an American company born out of a garage...no seriously we're in a garage in North Syracuse NY.
Every Part of our production is American. Even our packaging is produced in small-town America.
The Money raised by this kickstarter will go towards keeping our business in America. We need some better equipment and the ability to make some initial bulk purchasing orders.
From our first order ....
To our last, our ties will always be custom, high quality, hand crafted, and a new tool for you to set yourself apart.
Material delays
Packaging delays
Equipment break down.
There's honestly not too much that can go wrong for us. Sure something may happen, but we're former Marines and roll with obstacles very well. We don't over promise and under deliver. We've give ourselves a very conservative time line to provide you with your tie. We did that because we'd rather surprise you sooner, than be late.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

This is my 2nd Whirlpool stack set. Due to space in my new home I needed the smallest model. To my surprise I even love this one more than my last.It is small but cleans like a charm. My clothes come out of the washer damp as it extracts the water very well. The dryer works great as well I never even need a full cycle I use the less dryer option!! Perfect!I love my Whirlpool!!!!

A few months after purchase, the machine started exhibiting increasingly louder levels of noise, both from what turned out to be defective brakes, and from what seems to be inadequate design to prevent unbalance and simply overall noise. The unit would literally vibrate so badly that it would move inside its closet under some conditions; we obviously cannot leave the unit unattended if in use, which is extremely inconvenient. To be noted, we've been careful to even out the loads, avoid overload, and basically experimented multiple times to see if we're doing something wrong. The overall sound levels would be so bad that we're left wondering if this was ever thought to be used inside an inhabited house.The conclusion is that this a a cheaply made, marginally usable unit which to date, we're unsure if it's been maligned with a manufacturing defect (we've had it thoroughly serviced to get this possibility out of the way), or this is just what the unit is capable by design.Very dissatisfied.

Comments about Whirlpool 24" Stack Washer With Gas Dryer:
Ordered this product . Waited a month to get the machine. Was told 2 weeks when I ordered. Was installed and the timer on the dryer would not work. Dryer just kept running. Had to call for a repair. My own fault for not reading the fine print there is no soap dispenser or fabric softener dispenser. I could not imagine a machine without these two items. The machine is very noisy. In other words I hate it and would never recommend any one buy the machine.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Too Noisy!! Too Small!!
By Pete A.
from Palm Beach Gardens, FL
My 25 year old Maytag Washer / Gas Dryer was quieter and the washing machine was bigger. It was wider but in was the same depth as my new machine so it fit in the space available in my house.
Great Product for Small Spaces
By Mozart
from Dunn, NC
This washer/dryer combo has been a wonderful addition to my very small trailer. It takes up less square footage than many standard washer/dryer combo with its 24" width. It has very capably handled my loads of laundry (though I am only washing for one person). If you have a larger family, though, this unit would require you to wash more loads.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

too small
By dw
from calf
this unit came with a home purchase. adequate for very small loads. if your laundry needs are small, this works ok. but even a few towels will fill it to capacity. also, it is noisy. takes a long time to dry. but better than beating your clothes on a rock.
Good Value.
By NYCustomer

Works well for small loads, fits well in our small closet, overall I have been satisfied with my machine.

This Washer/Dryer Combo packs very efficient engineering along with reliable and consistent results time after time. It is also very quiet for a stackable combo unit. I would recommend this unit to anyone. You will not be disappointed!

We waited 3 weeks for delivery of this unit which, we were told, was due to delayed delivery from Whirlpool. Dealer refunded delivery charge to compensate. Installation did not include safety cable to prevent tipping as on old Whilrpool stack washer/dryer. I installed the old cable myself.Rattle in the dryer was present at delivery and worsened over next week. Maytag Service came to tighten sheet metal screws to eliminate rattle 3 weeks after delivery.
Delivery is subject to reasonable access to the area without damaging the purchaser's property or the product, or jeopardizing the safety of the delivery personnel.

The clip The disappointed father from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) with John Noble, David Wenham You would risk its utter ruin? I did what I judged to be right. What you judged to be right. You sent the Ring of Power into Mordor in the hands of a witless Halfling. It should have been brought back to the Citadel to be kept safe. Hidden. Dark and deep in the vaults not to be used. Unless at the uttermost end of need. I would not use the Ring. Not if Minas Tirith were falling in ruin and I alone could save her. Ever you desire to appear lordly and gracious as a king of old. Boromir would have remembered his father's need. He would have brought me a kingly gift. Boromir would not have brought the Ring. He would have stretched out his hand to this thing and taken it. He would've fallen. -You know nothing of this matter! -He would have kept it for his own. And when he returned you would not have known your son. Boromir was loyal to me! Not some wizard's pupil!

Hi friends,
This question might sound little weird, but why is skype still available for Linux? Microsoft bought skype two years ago. As far as I can recall MS never did anything for open source community. I also don't think they did anything for Linux (especially after huge rumors that they are porting MS-Office to linux). So why is skype still available for linux?

Theater: 'Junebug' On Social Justice
March 22, 1986
By Douglas J. Keating, Inquirer Staff Writer
With a boom box hanging from one shoulder, an old mailbag with his possessions slung over the other shoulder and a walking stick in hand, Junebug Jabbo Jones strolls onto the stage at the Painted Bride Art Center. The bearded, middle-age black man is dressed in denim overalls topped by a sport coat. A red bandanna is tied around his throat, and a brand new trilby hat sits jauntily on his head. He looks like an odd mixture of working man, tramp and sport. Junebug is the creation of actor John O'Neal, the star and only performer in Don't Start Me to Talkin' or I'll Tell You Everything I Know: Sayings From the Life and Writings of Junebug Jabbo Jones.
Social Justice Issues Lose Out
September 2, 2000
By Suzanne Gordon and Isabel Marcus
The vice-presidential candidacy of Sen. Joe Lieberman, an Orthodox Jew, should evoke alarm, not celebration, in the American Jewish community. As admirable as his religious views may be to many fellow believers, Jewish and Gentile alike, what really defines Lieberman is his repudiation of the Jewish tradition of secular humanism and support for social and economic justice. Since arriving in the United States in large numbers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the vast majority of Jews have been secular humanists who have championed public education and social insurance programs for the sick, poor, disabled and elderly.
In Brazil, a ballot on social justice issues
September 29, 2006
By Marlene Nadle
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's easy slide to victory in the Brazilian election this Sunday may be prevented by the disillusioned people in the social movements who originally put him in power. "We may vote for Sen. Heloisa Helena in the first round of the election," said Marcus Arruda from the Institute for Policy Alternatives. That could prevent Lula from getting more than 50 percent of the vote and force him into a runoff on Oct. 29. Heloisa Helena Lima de Moraes is a former member of Lula's Workers' Party.

Charles Coates Walker, 83, of Cheyney, an advocate for peace and social justice, died of complications of diabetes July 11 at Barclay Friends Nursing Home in West Chester. In 1991, after more than 50 years as a peace activist, Mr. Walker traveled to India to receive the Jamnalal Bajaj Foundation Award, which recognizes those who promote the nonviolent ideals of Mahatma Gandhi. During World War II, Mr. Walker, a Quaker and conscientious objector, went to jail rather than fight.
Black women's influence of faith
August 15, 2010
African American Women and Religion By Bettye Collier-Thomas Alfred A. Knopf. 695 pp. $37.50 Reviewed by Marla Frederick Bettye Collier-Thomas' Jesus, Jobs and Justice is a tour de force for the study of women and religion. It navigates within and beyond the walls of institutional religion to delineate the tremendous contributions of African American women of faith to the larger American project. Collier-Thomas, professor of history at Temple University, makes the convincing argument that it was, indeed, the amazing networks of organizations that women developed in the 1920s and '30s that laid the foundation for the success of the civil rights movement.

December 14, 2010
By Sally A. Downey, Inquirer Staff Writer
Caroline "Cary" Isard, 91, of Drexel Hill, an advocate for social justice, died of pneumonia at Delaware County Memorial Hospital on Wednesday, Dec. 1. Her husband of 68 years, Walter Isard, died Nov. 6. In 1956, Mrs. Isard and her husband, an economist who had just joined the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, moved to Drexel Hill. The corner property with seven bedrooms had plenty of room for their large family and a history appropriate for the new owners, who were Quaker civil rights activists.
Jesuits are known for education, social justice
March 15, 2013
By Frances D'Emilio, Associated Press
VATICAN CITY - While the Vatican has picked the highly disciplined Jesuits as advance men for planning papal pilgrimages and to run its worldwide broadcasting network, the notion of a Jesuit pope is still being absorbed in the Holy See. Before Pope Francis, no one from the nearly 500-year-old missionary order had been pope. Previous popes have punished Jesuit theologians for being too progressive in preaching and teaching. The last pontiff, Benedict XVI, sent a polite but firm letter inviting the order's worldwide members to pledge "total adhesion" to Catholic doctrine, including on divorce, homosexuality, and liberation theology.
George Tamaccio, longtime advocate for social justice
December 29, 2007
By Gayle Ronan Sims INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
George Tamaccio, 62, a man of conviction who loved this country and Philadelphia yet chose a prison term instead of fighting in Vietnam, died Dec. 21 of lymphoma at Vancouver General Hospital in British Columbia. Mr. Tamaccio moved to Vancouver Island in 2005 after decades as an activist in Philadelphia-area political, environmental and social justice causes, such as opposing nuclear energy and overdevelopment, and advocating clean water and urban housing. A longtime resident of West Mount Airy, Mr. Tamaccio was a sought-after political consultant who got out the vote through door-to-door canvassing of thousands of households, and was a leader for decades in citizen-action groups seeking to change government policies.
Eyes on the big picture
October 25, 2012
By Natalie Pompilio, For The Inquirer
It was an unfortunate incident, but one that propelled artist Michelle Ortiz into a career as a muralist dedicated to social change: Ortiz was a teenager, one of the few Latinas in her private high school. Fresh from art class, she went to the school store to look for a gift for her sister. The teacher in charge told her to stop handling the goods. "She told me, 'Don't touch that because your hands are dirty,' " Ortiz recalled of the conversation in 1996. Ortiz looked at her hands, puzzled.

Philly A.M.E. leader: 'Social justice is in our DNA'
July 14, 2016
By Olivia Exstrum, Staff Writer
Back in 1965, when now-U.S. Rep. John Lewis led hundreds of protesters across the Edmund Pettus Bridge from Selma to Montgomery, Ala., members of African Methodist Episcopal churches were among them. A half-century later, after two black men died at the hands of police last week in Louisiana and Minnesota, A.M.E. Church members from around the world took to the streets of Center City in protest. They were among about 30,000 A.M.E. members in the city for the denomination's quadrennial conference, which ends Wednesday at the Convention Center.

T he Ballad of Trayvon Martin is a world premiere celebrating New Freedom Theatre's soon-to-be 50th anniversary in the beautiful Edwin Forrest mansion on North Broad Street. This docu-drama, by Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj (who also directs and choreographs) and Thomas J. Soto, is about the 2012 murder of an African American teenager Trayvon Martin.

Teachers union: You have a challenger

By Kristen A. Graham, Staff Writer
A GROUP of city educators who think their union has grown complacent and needs challenging is making a run at the leadership of the powerful Philadelphia Federation of Teachers. The Caucus of Working Educators, a grassroots group of about 500 school staffers and others, said it has tried to effect change - more contact with members, better organization of the union's 11,000-plus members, a stronger focus on social justice - from the inside. "But we just felt like we were hitting our head against a brick wall," said Kelley Collings, a teacher at Feltonville School of Arts and Sciences who is running for a vice president position.

Armando Valladares is the author of the best-selling memoir "Against All Hope" and the recipient of the Becket Fund's 2016 Canterbury Medal In December of 1785, George Washington received a letter from Quaker abolitionist Robert Pleasants pleading with him to make a priority of ending slavery.

This month marks the sesquicentennial of the ratification of the 13th Amendment, which officially ended the scourge of slavery in America.
Staggering implications at Missouri for a school overthrown by its football program
November 12, 2015
BY DAVID MURPHY, Daily News Columnist
HE IS PALE and unconscious now, adrift and half-frozen on a chunk of ice in the middle of the sea. You wonder what his colleagues will think when they pull Timothy Wolfe back aboard. Will they see the madness on his face? Will they hear the melancholy in his voice? Will they understand the lesson of his strange and perilous tale? This much is clear: The monster created by Wolfe and his fellow Division I presidents has escaped from the laboratory table. And the implications are staggering.
Worldview: The pope as global diplomat
September 21, 2015
By Trudy Rubin, Inquirer Columnist
Any pope who travels from Havana to the United States on a mission to persuade Congress to uplift the poor and address global warming has to be pretty audacious. So on his coming trip, Pope Francis will no doubt spark speculation about his potential for diplomatic miracles. The Vatican is no stranger, of course, to high-level diplomacy or dialogue with communist leaders (although dealing with the current crop of U.S. legislators may be tougher). Yet it is especially fascinating to watch Pope Francis' energetic efforts to address international crises ranging from refugee flows to violence in the Mideast and Ukraine to global inequality.
EducationWorks to honor social-justice pioneer
August 15, 2015
By Martha Woodall, Inquirer Staff Writer
In some circles, Washington law professor Edgar S. Cahn, 80, is a social justice icon and poverty law pioneer whose many accomplishments changed the legal landscape. "The people who know him think he's a saint, but far too few people know him," said Martin Friedman, executive director of EducationWorks. Friedman and his local nonprofit, which runs after-school and social-justice programs in Philadelphia, Chester, and Camden, wants to change that. It hopes to increase Cahn's public profile in the region by awarding him EducationWorks' inaugural Social Justice Award at the National Constitution Center gala on Sept.
Philly faith groups rally at sister church after Charleston massacre

SOMETHING beautiful happened last night at Mother Bethel AME Church. In the wake of the massacre that left nine dead Wednesday night at Emanuel AME Church, a sister church in Charleston, S.C., the parishioners were not solemn during a memorial prayer service at Mother Bethel, the original African Methodist Episcopal church. In fact, they cheered together with folks of several faiths as the church choir delivered a rousing rendition of Richard Smallwood's 1996 hymn "Total Praise. " As the choir began to end the song, Mother Bethel's own the Rev. Mark Tyler took to the podium and began to speak.

Clinical pharmacology includes pharmacokinetics (what the body does to a drug as it moves through the body) and pharmacodynamics (what a drug does to the body as the drug is being absorbed, metabolized, and excreted). An adverse drug reaction is a broad term that is generally used to refer to unwanted effects of a drug.
Clinical Pharmacology
Clinical Pharmacology Sections (A-Z)
Adverse Drug Reactions
Concepts in Pharmacotherapy
Drugs are selected based on characteristics of the drug (eg, efficacy, safety profile, route of administration, route of elimination, dosing frequency, cost) and of the patient (eg, age, sex, other medical problems, likelihood of pregnancy, ethnicity, other genetic determinants). Risks and benefits of the drug are also assessed; every drug poses some risk.
Factors Affecting Response to Drugs
Response to a drug depends partly on the patient's characteristics and behaviors (eg, consumption of foods or supplements; adherence to a dosing regimen; differences in metabolism due to age, sex, race, genetic polymorphisms, or hepatic or renal insufficiency), coexistence of other disorders, and use of other drugs. Drug errors (see Drug Errors), including prescribing an inappropriate drug, misreading a prescription, or administering a drug incorrectly, also can affect response.
Pharmacodynamics, sometimes described as what a drug does to the body, involves receptor binding (including receptor sensitivity), postreceptor effects, and chemical interactions. Pharmacodynamics, with pharmacokinetics (what the body does to a drug—see Pharmacokinetics), helps explain the relationship between the dose and response, ie, the drug's effects. The pharmacologic response depends on the drug binding to its target. The concentration of the drug at the receptor site influences the drug's effect.
Pharmacokinetics, sometimes described as what the body does to a drug, refers to the movement of drug into, through, and out of the body—the time course of its absorption, bioavailability, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.

Excellent Disaster Film
In the film, a volcanologist discovers that the picturesque town of Dante's Peak, which has recently been named the second most desirable place to live in America, is being threatened by a massive volcano that has been dormant for the past four years. "Dante's Peak" is incredibly superior to the slew of disaster flicks that have been released since the monster success of "Twister." Yes, the plot is nothing original, but the film is fueled by very believable performances and first-rate effects. It is constantly compared to "Volcano," which hit theaters shortly after "Dante's Peak." "Volcano" features talented actors, but has cheesy-looking effects and a very contrived ending. In my opinion, comparing these two films is insane, as "Dante's Peak" is easily much better than "Volcano." In short, "Dante's Peak" is worth the rental price at least, and should not be overlooked. It is a great film with strong acting and the most realistic effects since "Twister."

Terrible times have come, as is CharlesXavier, better known as Professor X killed by a superhuman opponents.A large meeting is to unite mutants and humans and bring peace. Atthis meeting, take part in three people who could not be moredifferent. But when chaos erupts, tear streets and houses tocollapse, discovered the player, as one of the protagonists, thatlies dormant in him a mutant gene. Soon also take other known mutantsnote from you.
Just the idea of a separate mutants inthe X-Men world many fans makes the heart beat faster. How would youlike to fight on page Wolverines, teleporting as Nightcrawler andsweeping hordes of weak people with one wipe off the streets. Theconcept was true, but the implementation is not managed well. Thestory is quickly told, has some nice twists, but not
sufficient toban the player. Even the choices that you fall in the game, whetherto perform force-range missions or for brotherhood, or X-Men have noeffect whatsoever on the story. They only bring new skills to light.Famous Characters pave your way, but then give her much.
Described in one word, the look isweak. The textures are washed out, the background pale and empty.Sections below the surface show flat ones and monotonous complexes.The animations are very stiff advised. It comes to edge flares,Clipping fehlern and delayed animations. Nice looks different. Gotthe game are pretty banners. These cover such large letters in frontof you and shatter when you close enough to them performing anattack. The cutscenes are kept in-game graphics, and thus not just adelight.
Explosions sound and behave a littleimpulsive. The speakers are unfortunately not from the movie-makingrepertoire, but a solid work in English. Music is, if not presentnoticeable and does not interfere with the process. Impressivemoments but it can not be captured.

Big Blue's special teams gave away a total of eight points while New York's defense surrendered 159 yards and two TDs in a five-play period down the stretch. That buoyed the Vikes as Minnesota stormed back and took a late lead in front of 64,005 raucous fans at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.
However, with the game, and potentially the season, on the line, New York was able to move 80 yards in 10 plays for the game-winning TD, an eight-yard run by RB Tiki Barber with 2:43 to play.
"I was very proud of the way we came back," Head Coach Jim Fassel said. "Our offense took the ball down and our guys really gutted it out and made plays and that's tough to do on the road…come back…they had all the momentum but I'm proud this unit they did that."
QB Kerry Collins led a balanced attack with a 25-of-35, 300-yard, two-TD showing.
"I was proud of our guys; we kept our poise" Collins said.
Collins was probably speaking of a couple guys in particular – Barber and WR Ron Dixon, thrust into the starting lineup due to a season-ending injury to Ike Hilliard.
Barber had a season high 127 yards on 24 carries, averaging 5.3 yards per tote. And Dixon notched his first-ever 100-yard game, hauling in four passes for 107 yards.
"Ron Dixon came through," Fassel said. "He stepped it up two games in a row. We need that. He stepped up and played big."
New York's win, coupled with Philadelphia's blowout defeat to Indianapolis, moved Big Blue within a game of the NFC East lead.
The victory, however, was dampened by the loss of rookie WR Tim Carter for the season. New York's second-round pick ruptured his right Achilles' tendon while starting to run a pass pattern.
Defensively, the Giants did just enough. They surrendered 167 rushing yards to Vikes RB Michael Bennett, but they survived Minnesota's QB switch, sacked the Vikings' signal-callers five times and were generally just glad that the offense picked them up.
"That was great to see," said DE Michael Strahan, who chipped in with three tackles and a sack. "That was a huge job by our offense. There's a whole different attitude."
The Giants caught a couple breaks early on in the game, but couldn't do anything with them. First, they were awarded a first down when Minnesota LB Patrick Chukwurah was called for holding. Instead of losing the ball following a punt, Big Blue retained possession.
Then, an obvious and apparent interception by Minnesota was reversed when Fassel challenged the call. Collins' third-down pass hit Vikes DT Fred Robbins in the shoulder and deflected into the air. The ball ricocheted directly to TE Dan Campbell, but Vikings CB Eric Kelly stripped the ball from Campbell, who was falling to the ground. However, the officials saw it differently.
Minnesota must have been steaming. But they then received a break of their own. Referee Tony Corrente, who spent way too long in incorrectly reversing the original call, then reviewed where the ball should be spotted. Corrente blew it again, ruling that Campbell wasn't past the first-down marker. After all that, the Giants were forced to punt.
Later in the opening period, New York capitalized on a big-time mistake by the Vikes. Brody Liddiard sailed a punt snap well over the head of Kyle Richardson. LB Kevin Lewis pounced on the ball, giving the Giants possession at Minnesota's 23-yard line.
The Giants scored on a one-yard play-action pass to FB Charles Stackhouse. New York had to sweat out a challenge by Minnesota that Stackhouse lost control of the ball before crossing the goal line, but Corrente finally got one right and the TD stood, giving Big Blue a 7-0 lead.
"I knew I was in," said Stackhouse, who said he wasn't worried while awaiting the officials' decision. "It felt really good to get in the end zone."
On New York's next possession, Collins threw a terrible INT, New York's only turnover of the game. The Vikes were in zone coverage and Collins tried to force the ball to TE Jeremy Shockey. However, Vikes DE Kenny Mixon didn't even have to move as Collins fired the ball right into his chest.
Then Vikes WR D'Wayne Bates beat CB Will Peterson on a slant pattern for a 19-yard gain and Peterson was flagged 15 yards for unnecessary roughness for bringing Bates down by his helmet. Vikes QB Daunte Culpepper than scrambled for 12 before the Giants held and Minnesota settled for a 20-yard field goal from Gary Anderson.
The Giants answered right back with a 72-yard TD march that was capped by the new-and-improved Ron Dayne. New York's big back took a handoff, followed Campbell through the hole and scooted untouched 30 yards for the score that extended Big Blue's lead to 13-3. New holder Tom Rouen botched another hold attempt and K Matt Bryant never even got off the PAT try.
"That was a lead play," Barber explained. "Dan was able to seal off the DE. The linebacker blitzed outside so there was no one in the middle. Ron's speed then just took over. People don't realize how fast Ron is once he gets going."
"Everybody blocked pretty well and I just took advantage," Dayne added.
The Giants were on the move again as WR Amani Toomer got open behind Kelly down the right sideline for a 46-yard gain. A little push-off by the Giants veteran receiver certainly didn't hurt matters. New York then benefited from a phantom pass interference call that Toomer drew on Minny CB Corey Chavous, but again the Giants left points on the field as Bryant's 31-yard FG try sailed wide left.
After an 11-for-11 start, Bryant has missed three of his last four FG attempts.
Minnesota's Anderson had no such trouble. His 27-yard field goal cut Big Blue's lead to 13-6.
Then, just when you didn't think it could get any worse, Rouen again failed to get down the snap and Bryant never even got to attempt a 35-yard field goal. Hindsight may certainly be 20/20, but you have to wonder why Fassel would change holders on Bryant after the youngster had connected on his first 11 FGs. In the two games since Rouen's been holding, place-kicks have been an adventure to say the least, if not a disaster.
"We had a lead and our field goal unit could have cost us the game right there," Fassel said. "We left eight points off the board there."
But the Vikings couldn't cash in on New York's misfortune, and the Giants were all too happy to add to their lead.
New York rushed down the field courtesy of a 16-yard Barber run and catches by Campbell (27 yards) and Dixon (33). An 11-yard TD catch by Toomer, who collected a fade pass behind Kelly, sealed the deal, but again Big Blue couldn't get the kick straight. With backup QB Jesse Palmer now holding, Bryant had his PAT try blocked.
The Vikings pulled Culpepper, who left with a mere 91 passing yards, and replaced him with Todd Bouman, a St. Cloud State product. On Bouman's first snap, Frank Ferrara sacked him, he fumbled and LDT Cornelius Griffin recovered the ball.
There's a reason that we've gone this far into the story without mentioning Vikings WR Randy Moss, who killed the Giants with 171 yards and three TDs in Minnesota's 28-16 win last season. It's because big-play Randy entered the fourth quarter with just one catch for only five yards. You just knew that wasn't going to last. It didn't. Moss gained 80 yards on two consecutive catches before Vikes RB Moe Williams dove over from the one to slice the Giants edge to 19-13 with 12:06 to play.
"He's a good player, he's going to make plays," SS Shaun Williams said of Moss. "But it was more things we didn't do than anything he did do."
Moss beat Peterson, who had pretty good coverage, down the left sideline for 48 yards, then got behind CB Will Allen and Williams for a 32-yard catch. Moss took a hard hit, but held onto the ball.
Bennett then delivered what could have been the knockout blow with a 78-yard TD run up the middle that gave Minnesota a 20-19 edge. The Vikes speedy back took the handoff from Bouman out of the shotgun and raced untouched into the end zone. The middle of the Giants defense was blown wide open and Williams, New York's last hope, was blocked out of the way by Moss.
"There were three guys coming at me so I really didn't know what to do," Williams explained.
For Bennett, his jaunt tied the third-longest TD run from scrimmage in Minnesota history.
But the Giants didn't die. Big Blue moved 80 yards to regain the lead in the final minutes when Barber scored from eight yards out. TE Marcellus Rivers added the two-point conversion by gathering in a pass that was tipped by Vikes LB Lemanski Hall.
The Giants didn't convert their first third down until less than four minutes remained in the game, but it was a big one. Shockey's five-yard yard grab moved the sticks on third-and-four. Two plays later, the Giants were in the end zone.
But the Vikings would receive one more chance, an opportunity that New York snuffed out in a hurry. On third-and-10, RDE Kenny Holmes beat Minnesota's number-one draft pick Bryant McKinnie for a huge sack. Holmes forced Bouman to fumble for a 20-yard loss.
"I had been getting into the backfield all night," Holmes said. "I noticed the new quarterback held the ball longer. As I was running toward him, I was thinking that if I can knock the ball out and recover it that's the game."
He knocked the ball free, but it rolled out of bounds. No worry. Minnesota punted the ball away, never to see it again. Barber gained 41 yards on four carries to kill the clock and put this one in the win column for Big Blue.
"Five and four sounds a heck of a lot better than four and five," Collins said.

accepted industry guidelines (IICRC S520), with other applicable standard. The purpose of remediation is to remove mold growth and restore the property to a normal condition. We inspect all areas adjacent to the mold growth along with the areas where water may have seeped, such as wall cavities, basements and crawl spaces. The first step is to stop the moisture at its source. We then make sure the affected area is contained, or sealed-off, from the rest of the structure to prevent cross-contamination so that mold spores do not spread to other parts of the building. Air ducts are sealed, containment barriers erected, and then negative pressurization is achieved. Affected surfaces are cleaned, dried, or removed and properly disposed of contaminated materials. We generally recommend the use of a dehumidifier for over-all moisture control.
Tiptop Restoration can help with any crawlspace cleaning. Standing water in your home's crawlspace (under house) can cause a variety of structural problems and health concerns. Excess humidity caused by standing water in your crawlspace can cause mold growth on the wooden foundation and the bottom of sub flooring. It can also cause warping or buckling of sub flooring and mold growth in the living area of the building. If your home has HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) ducting in the crawlspace and the system is compromised with excess moisture, microbial amplification may result. All of these issues can possibly create unhealthy indoor air quality.

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to work hard to construct a Cuban pipeline to their major league team.
Spurred since June by the arrival of Cuban rookie Yasiel Puig, the Dodgers on Monday were nearing an agreement to sign fellow Cuban defector Alexander Guerrero, according to a baseball source. The deal is in the hands of Major League Baseball awaiting approval.
ESPNdeportes reported in July that it was a seven-year, $32 million deal, but was on hold pending Guerrero getting cleared by the U.S. government.
Guerrero, 26, can play shortstop and second base and was a two-time All-Star in Cuba's Serie Nacional, the top league on the island. He defected earlier this year, established residency in Haiti and was training in the Dominican Republic, where he tried out at the Dodgers' Dominican complex.
He was granted free agency in July, but was not unblocked by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control until Friday.
The 5-foot-11, 205-pound Guerrero likely will enter spring training as the favorite to be the Dodgers' every-day second baseman next season. Mark Ellis, 36, is in the final year of his contract with the Dodgers.
The Dodgers signed Puig for seven years and $42 million in June of 2012.

A few words from the Web Master
By Hal Doby, Web Master, July 6, 2016
Just a quick note to say the Georgia State Reunion was a huge success! Congratulations to all those who participated.
This morning, I received an email reporting to me that there were several links that did not work on our link page. Granted, most of that page was built right after I established the camp's then-new web page, so I guess it was time to go back through the page and delete the links that did not work. I'm happy to report that all the links should now be active.
What I'm sad to report is that a good number of the pages belong to our brother's camp sites are no longer active. While I did not count the number I removed from the Alabama section, 17 of the 48 camps in Georgia that were listed are now no longer there.
While I recognize that a good number of our compatriots are in their advanced years and are not as tech savvy as our younger compatriots, I think we all recognize that in today's world, it is important to have an Internet presence since most everyone nowadays use the web as their primary reference tool. With those 17 encampments now offline, they will have a much harder time recuirting new blood into the fold. Sad times indeed.
As always, if you have something to say or share and would like it to be posted on our website, please contact me directly and I'll be more than happy to accomodate you.
That's all for now, Please enjoy the web site.

IBM Promotes Ubuntu-Based Cloud Solution in U.S.
To coincide with the Windows 7 launch, IBM issued a press release yesterday promoting its Ubuntu-based IBM Client for Smart Work solution.
The IBM Client for Smart Work, a software collection for and with Ubuntu, has been around for a year. More recently, IBM announced that they will try for a foothold in the African market for the solution.
IBM's most recent press release, out just in time for Ubuntu's fifth birthday, reemphasizes Smart Work's advantages and especially its significantly lower costs compared to a Windows 7 solution.
As quoted from the press release, "Independent market estimates range up to $2,000 for the cost of migrating to the Windows 7 operating system for many PC users. New PC hardware requirements account for a significant portion of the added expense." And to make IBM's intentions perfectly clear, "The IBM Client for Smart Work package, launched September 24 in Africa, was initially designed for emerging markets but sparked calls for the solution in the U.S. The U.S. version is arriving in time to help companies avoid the higher licensing, hardware upgrades and migration costs associated with Microsoft Windows 7."
Details on the Client for Smart Work plan are on IBM's webpage. The Ubuntu webpage also includes download instructions.

NEW YORK - Wall Street rebounded from an early loss Friday to send the Dow Jones industrials to their second straight record close as investors embraced robust economic data and shrugged off several profit warnings.
Bond prices fell on concerns about interest rates.
Stocks held on to their gains despite a warning from chip maker AMD, considered one of the bellwether stocks of the tech sector.
The market also got a boost from the recent decline in oil prices and a Commerce Department report that retail sales rose in December at their strongest pace in five months - an indication that holiday sales might have turned out better than expected.
The retail sales report was another sign that the economy remains healthy, and could persuade central bankers to keep interest rates where they are.
Stock and bond investors have been hoping the Fed might lower rates in the near future.
Some of Friday's fluctuations were likely due to investors adjusting their positions ahead of a three-day weekend, with the markets closed Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
"You've had a pretty good week, and people always tend to even up positions on a Friday - especially before a holiday," said Alexander Paris, an economist and market analyst for Chicago-based Barrington Research.
For the week, stocks advanced modestly and, as a result, managed to push the indexes into positive territory for the new year.
The Dow was up 1.27 percent, while the S&P 500 advanced 1.49 percent and the Nasdaq picked up 2.82 percent.
The bond market, which has been pricing in the potential of a rate cut sometime with the first half of the year, was rattled by the economic reports Friday.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 4.78 percent - its highest level since October - from 4.74 percent late Thursday.
The dollar was mixed against other major currencies, while gold prices rose.
"The mood isn't negative," said Brian Williamson, an equity trader at The Boston Company Asset Management.
"You take the economic news as it comes. Things are changing so rapidly, and there's so much information right now, but you react and then look ahead. That's what the market is doing."
Technology stocks, which have been among the market's biggest gainers so far this year, extended their advance despite a warning from AMD that fourth-quarter results will be lower than expected. AMD plunged $1.92, or 9.5 percent, to $18.26.
Meanwhile, business software maker SAP AG's warning that quarterly profit and revenue would fall short of expectations caused a round of analyst downgrades.
The stock was able to stay in positive territory, however, rising $1.52, or 3.1 percent, to $50.02.
Apple backed off an all-time high reached earlier in the week after it unveiled plans to roll out its iPhone later this year.
A trademark lawsuit filed by Cisco Systems pushed Apple shares lower by $1.18, to $94.62. Cisco shares rose 23 cents, to $28.92.

You can't help it, but almost everything you think you know about leadership is wrong.
Worse still, you can't see the problem.
That's because the problem is inside your head.
It's your brain that's misleading you.
Leadership: Learning From the Cavemen
Here is how it works: Your brain is wired to be highly sensitive to the exceptional. It is what kept your primate ancestors alive on the plains of Africa. As your ancestor stared out onto the plain, they looked for the singular strange waving in the grass because it predicted the arrival of a predator.
An inattentive ancestor was most likely to be food for a predator and thus not one of your progenitors, but the ones who became agitated at the sight of what might be a predator, and jumped up and down to warn the rest of the tribe, got to be the hero and not only survived, but prospered.
As a result, brains that startled easily and fixated on the exception became the norm. That is the brain design that was handed down to you, the brain that can't see the leadership forest through the leadership trees.
Becoming easily startled and strongly fixated on strong leaders is therefore not only natural but highly survival-oriented. It's the way your brain works, and you are stuck with it. But that does not mean it is right.
There are few human predators more dangerous than a leader. The human being who brings the most risk to any human group is the leader. Think about it, leadership is a natural human process for getting things done. All human groups need people who step forward to organize and direct.
Ideally, those who step forward have good ideas about how the work is best organized and what skills need to be learned. Those folks help us as groups to accomplish everything from childcare to healthcare to old-age security. We prosper because leaders direct our behavior.
The Problem With Leadership
While we place our trust in leaders, they are enabled to take advantage of us by siphoning off resources for themselves – and we let them get away with it. As long as we feel we are prospering, we are prepared to allow them to take more than their share.
However, that very faith and willingness to suspend our own judgment regarding the outcomes is a weakness. When we place our blind faith in leaders they can wreak complete havoc, starting wars, destroying the environment, and emptying our lives of meaning.
They become predators, and the rest of us become prey.
To us, it only makes sense that when we attend to leadership, we attend to leaders who either are or might become predators. We need to get very jumpy around and fixate upon those who may turn out to prey upon the human condition. That means carefully watching the highly competent, the manipulative, the charismatic, and the strong.
Those are the folk who put us ordinary human beings at risk and therefore they are the ones we must attend to.
So we do.
Everything we study in leadership class and leadership books is about those competent, manipulative, charismatic, and strong figures who are also dangerous to our well-being. We study what they do and we study how to be like them. Our brains tell us that is the only thing to do.
What True Leaders Can Do
Leadership is not just about strong, aggressive, human predators. It's not about people who understand how to manipulate others into doing their bidding. Leadership is also about ordinary people, full of compassion and humility, who inspire us to do great works on our own. They subtly hint and carefully encourage us to become the best we can be.
They direct and push us in terms we embrace so whole-heartedly for ourselves that we never even realize someone was there pushing us in the first place.
These people are great leaders too, but they don't get our attention because our brains just can't see them. They aren't dangerous.
The solution to this misunderstanding lies in our ability to reflect on the blind spots in our thinking. Our survival as a species depends on our agitation and specific focus as well as our ability to critically reflect on our perceptions and attend to the gestalt.
It isn't heroic and it isn't easy, but over time it leads to the accumulation of wisdom about our world, the wisdom that brought progress to our primate ancestors.
In the case of leadership we can become wise by looking at ordinary groups and their ordinary leaders. They aren't the scary predator leaders upon whom we fixate so publicly, but they are the people who will teach us about successful group action.
To truly understand leadership we need to put to one side the very people who our brains tell us are the epitome of leadership, and look to those who are ordinary leaders in ordinary circumstances. Study them to learn true leadership.
That is the path of leadership wisdom.
Don't forget that our fixation has survival value. We do need to understand those great public leaders so we can keep ourselves safe from them. But let's not think they are teaching us anything about leaders; let's remember that they are teaching us something about predators.

Man I love this post. Love.
@Kat Krieger Thanks! What in specific stood out?
This is really cool stuff, Bruce, drawing the line from leadership to evolution. I hadn't heard this before. I love it when I meet leaders who are self-effacing and humble. Surely there are more of them than the brash Richard Branson types.
BruceHiebert The insight about how human beings work together in groups is interesting. Can you talk more about that and what it means for the non-predator leaders?
ginidietrich Under normal human conditions (outside of formal organizations) group members select leaders from among themselves, usually through informal processes, often involving trial and error. Groups are looking for mediator figures who can clarify group norms and help people do what people do best–accomplish collective goals. Under these conditions non-predator leaders are the norm. But organizations inherently encourage the development of predator leaders–leading to SOB bosses. It is just what happens when the discipline of organizational process supersedes group trial and error. (Head spinning? It happens to me a lot.)
BruceHiebert ginidietrich Let's get Gini going on the Fiske… G, Bruce sent me down a rabbit hole of AWESOME with all this. I spent a lovely day in San Fran reading about relational models theories and geeking right out.
BruceHiebert Good point. Perhaps there are Capital L Leaders and lowercase leaders. Those who truly Lead per your analysis and those who in positions of leadership (or have it thrust upon them).
I love love love this post. So much THINKING!! Seriously, I geek out over this stuff.
belllindsay So it sounds as if it gets you thinking too…
Brilliant article
TendaiGarandi I'm glad you appreciated it. I'm not sure it is brilliant, but what it does do is poke at some of the gaping holes in contemporary leadership thought. I'm not the first to poke at them, but I might be the first to attach the problems to some of the current neuropsych research.
My hope is to be helpful. If I were to push this line of thought further, what issues might be helpful?
ginidietrich And I bet you have a tough time finding reading that supports your learned reality. Not only that, in gatherings of top figures, you are probably looked at as second rate. That aggressive nature you are missing is intrinsic to the cult of leadership. But if you focus on what you accomplish, you probably have staff who produce at 1.5 to 2x the industry norm, with lower turnover and a happier spirit, than those aggressive sorts can imagine (or might even approve of). Keep going! Change the perceptions!
BruceHiebert I forwarded this post to a friend of mine and he said, "I wish we'd stop referring to dictators as leaders. They're managers at best."
To your point, I am definitely looked at as second rate. I also have the pretty girl conundrum. But that's okay. It makes it that much more pleasurable when we win. And believe me, we win.
I agree with what you have written Bruce, moreso since I have worked with this 'predator-type-of-boss.' What really used to amaze me was how other colleagues seemed unable to see through the fact that he was manipulating them for his own self aggrandisement!
Payal Kumar Quite possibly they admired him/her. Power in organizations messes with people's heads big-time. Sometimes we can't even tell what was going on until we are in another organization. Our brains are not our friends when it comes to accurate leader perception.
Yes they possibly admired him, but more in the sense of awe and fear rather than wonderment. In India we have a high power distance equation. Perhaps such an environment enables predator-type bosses to flourish, as no one dares question them.
Payal Kumar The work of the anthropologist Alan Page Fiske is highly relevant here. He suggests that we have a natural tendency to lock into hierarchies, a tendency that is very culturally mediated, but present in everyone none-the-less. It's a little scary how easily and quickly we fall into line behind such people.
This is an incredibly thoughtful post, BruceHiebert, and it'll be sticking in my head for days. I don't know that I've ever seen anyone connect the dots between evolutionary biology and leadership, so kudos to you for that!
I suspect that nearly all of us here have, at some point in our careers, worked under predatory leaders. I know that I have, and those experiences serve as reminders of everything that I don't want to be when I'm called to serve in a leadership capacity.
jasonkonopinski My hope is that if ideas like mine are circulating in the back of your head, when you get to such positions it will nag at you and keep you from conforming to the destructive standard. But the pressure to conform is enormous. Good people can turn into predator leaders due to the pressures. (Run away!)(Or come and see me and let's work on a plan.)
RebeccaTodd Thanks for getting me connected! Love it! Love all the conversations. Great forum!
Oddly enough, given my fields of study, I'm a hard-core empiricist. I want to see the numbers. I wanted to be an engineer early in my life, but couldn't make myself jump through the hoops. Too interested in making sense of philosophy. Blame it all (both sides) on reading too much Heinlein early in life.
BruceHiebert Hah of course that does not strike me as odd. I need data for things to make sense. I came in extra early to run numbers only tangentially related to my early morning conference call, just because it made me feel better about what I already knew.
I've broken up my heavy dose of sci fi with Kundera this time… a good contrast to read philosophy from a "feeler" for a change.
RebeccaTodd I love you.
ginidietrich I love you! Even if you have little knowledge of toques and chi-hooa-hooas.
ginidietrich Damn. I should have said "little visibility in to toques and chi-hooa-hooas."
BruceHiebert I am thrilled to meet you here and this is a wonderful, mind-spinning post. I was extremely fortunate to have a true leader early in my career. And, I can still reach out to him. Ironically, it does make me wonder, if, combined with experience, I get very annoyed with the predator bosses much more easily.
ginidietrich Smart and pretty–sorry, but that does not compute in our primate brains. In fact it so does not compute that you can stand on the finish line and they won't even see you as they pant and struggle to get there. (If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't believe it, but in the business world if you do not conform to the model of success by definition you are not a success, even if your profitability just kills.)
ginidietrich And they aren't managers either. They are just dictators. Worse yet, the literature suggests that it works well enough to keep them in power, and sometimes they might even succeed where nice folk can't. Sometimes you have to throw the team overboard in order to save the ship. These are the folk happy to make that decision.
I wrote an entire ABCs of Leadership series, so I appreciate this post. Yes, I had some very assertive qualities pegged in my list, but I also had humility and compassion built in there, too.
I also like those who can TEACH an organization to run effectively vs only succeeding through heroic, star-power efforts (or acting as a lone predator amongst prey).
dbvickery Thanks! I would argue that heroism is the opposite of leadership–it demotivates the group. A leader as hero or star belongs to a group that stands and applauds, not a group that gets down to the work with a sense of competence and direction. A leader with humility and compassion is much more likely to belong to a group that feels energized to do its work to the best of its ability.
BruceHiebert dbvickery Agreed. Both heroes and micro-managers stunt the growth of organizations.
share, this is a really quality post. In underlying objects theory I'd like
to write like this too. Taking time and real effort to make a good article. http://www.atautomotivellc.com
