You already made a clan. I'm too lazy to dig the topic out.
Maybe the best way to start is to figure out who's still active and not in a clan.I'm not, but the clan thing is extremely difficult for me because of my play schedule. I would never be able to make it to matches.Generally speaking, not that many people are posting right now, so it might be a tough time to get people interested.

The Georgia football team's injury list may not be as lengthy as it was last season, but eight of the nine players on it after Thursday's practice came from the offense.
That's contributed to the unit not playing up to the standard of offensive coordinator Mike Bobo.
"We've had our ups and downs, but way too many downs this spring in my opinion," Bobo said. "We've got to get a lot better in a lot of areas. We've got a long way to go from what we're going to do in the fall against Clemson because right now we're struggling to execute."
Georgia is missing wide receivers Malcolm Mitchell (leg, knee) and Justin Scott-Wesley (knee) and tight end Jay Rome (foot). Tailback Keith Marshall (knee) isn't taking part in any contact work and offensive tackle Watts Dantzler (concussion) and tight end Jordan Davis (knee) were also out again Thursday.
"You've got what you got," Bobo said. "I know I seem probably a little frustrated but talking to our guys afterwards, `You can't get frustrated. We're rolling a lot of guys. Just keeping going through your progression, going through your reads and trust what you see. If they don't make them or it doesn't happen, you can't get frustrated by it because I sense some frustration a little bit."
Reinforcements are coming this summer and Bobo said incoming freshmen at tailback, tight end, on the offensive line and even at receiver will be given every opportunity to play.
"There's no question that we're going to have to have freshmen play for us this year and play meaningful minutes," Bobo said. "Some of them, possibly start. We've got to get more competition on the field. Obviously getting Jay back at tight end will help but obviously at the tight end position, the receiver position at the running back position and the o-line, there's not enough competition at those spots."
Players on the move on defense
J.J. Green, who has created buzz this spring playing at the star nickel back position, worked with the first team at safety on Thursday.
"He hasn't played defensive back until this spring so we started off just teaching him how to play in our nickel package," defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt said. "He was playing the star. He hadn't been taking any reps in regular so we wanted to find him a home in regular. We gave him some reps today at safety."
Said Green: "It's not permanent. Coach wants everybody to learn a different position just in case he has to throw somebody out there because of injuries."
Cornerback Brendan Langley also has worked lately at safety.
That seems like it could be more of a primary position for him than Green at safety.
"Brendan was a high school wide receiver," Pruitt said. "He's got really good ball skills. Just looking for a guy who can play the ball in the deep part of the field."
The depth chart continues to be in flux.
Actually, Pruitt says there isn't an actual depth chart.
"We have no depth chart," he said. "We just have somebody who goes with the ones."
On Thursday, that included nose guard Mike Thornton and walk-on Aaron Davis at cornerback.
"Two weeks into fall camp, we'll get them in their spots," Pruitt said. "Maybe they'll be some guys this spring that kind of take that step to where you say I know I can count on him but right now we're just a work in progress."
LB Bostick to transfer
Georgia and redshirt freshman inside linebacker Paris Bostick are parting ways.
The school announced that Bostick is transferring without ever having played in a game.
"After discussing the situation with Paris, we mutually agreed this is a good decision," coach Mark Richt said in a statement. "He has a positive future in football and we wish him all the best in attaining his goals in football and in education."
Bostick came from Plant High School in Tampa, Fla., the same school that produced former Georgia quarterback Aaron Murrray and tight end Orson Charles.
He sat out last season after undergoing toe surgery in the summer and moved to inside linebacker from safety during practices last fall. He was limited to running in practice this spring due to a hyperextended knee.
Asked Tuesday about Bostick, inside linebackers coach Mike Ekeler said he "hasn't done anything. He's been hurt."
Pruitt said he didn't speak to Bostick about his decision, but "obviously he was concerned with playing time. Paris didn't do anything but work hard while he was here, went to class and did everything we asked of him. He just wanted to find a different place."
This and that
The way star tailback Todd Gurley has practiced this spring has pleased Bobo. He showed his playmaking ability at the end of practice Thursday when he scored on a touchdown run of about 65 yards. "It wasn't like 10 yards and he kind of jogged," Bobo said. "He finished it all the way through the goal line full speed, which was good to see." …Pruitt on his defense after nine practices: "It's kind of a work in progress. The guys are trying to figure us out, we're trying to figure them out. It's kind of like everywhere on the ninth day. We've got a long ways to go."

The almighty can easily RS 3 GoldMay 20th, 2016
When the almighty provides palms, deal with, thighs etc even as we take evident over a lots of of which, he could take included bodily organs, altough certainly certainly not unnatural regarding various meats yet of energy, yet he could continue to utilize them as being a dog would certainly therefore i may count on which he has to make use of exercise to take youngsters.
Query is the fact when he or she is ample : it will take little chemical compounds or the radiation to be able to may cause infertility inside individual, of course, if anyone is evident to be able to leading the radiation hokus pokus in the course of elevation, his or her technique ground beef rest stops to be able to carbon dioxide (because indicate take neurological requires and also rs rare metal may expire naturally) thus he or she will become sterile and clean.
But Now i'm certainly not stable just how would certainly that will hokus pokus processing perform. When the almighty won't complete all-important ground beef to be able to carbon dioxide (because his or her technique ground beef are usually cold inside hokus pokus , nor program anymore), however take to utilize hokus pokus never to complete processing ground beef (he aren't accomplish that anymore), but to modify DNA regarding "donor" ground beef (from his or her partner) to be able to break and also are readily available into a youngster. May possibly demand several make acquainted inside intake to accomplish this.
In any case I actually love what happens to the dog soon after elevation. Judgment coming from V's fortune, god's technique is hokus pokus stasis, altough he could jeremiad and also RS 3 Gold approach, his or her capabilities end.

Thus in bed the almighty may be formally arouse, rouse, stimulate since globe's bewitched successes even as we take evident together with Guthix, whoever feelings we could bolt whilst Runescape Gold still being comprehend yet his or her technique is actually fallible and also burst open so that it won't program any more, not as being a arrivée so we aren't jeremiad to be able to the dog.

Well Built Swing Arm, Flexible Mounting Options
on 4/24/2012
While it was hard to shell out $ for a swing arm, reviews by others drove me to choose the best. This arm comes with a multitude of mounting options, and ALL the necessary hardware. The arm itself is well engineered, and the counterbalance once adjusted for my laptops weight made the whole unit float and swing like a dream, while staying put where I set it. The only drawbacks are that it's pricey, takes an hour or so to get assembled and set up, and the retainer clips are made of plastic.

Gemini Soul
Gemini Soul takes jazz and injects it with a heavy, rhythmic dose of funk. Bass player André Marcel Ajamu Akinyele's four-string coils itself around the steady snare percussion with a springing and throbbing reminiscent of Me'shell Ndegéocello's low-end jams on softer songs like "Gypsy" and "Hang on to Your Love," while up-tempo songs like "Lili" and "Pandora's Boxx (Remix)" see the bass lines take on a Bootsy Collins-esque groove. There are hints of a classic R&B sound with a psychedelic edge, too, on "Supernova (Remix)." The atmospheric jam begins with a sample of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech and slides smoothly into a low-key funk opus, punctuated by Jon O'Bergh's meandering piano melodies, which cascade through the tracks like London rain on a windowsill but always manage to come full circle. The album was recorded live, giving the songs an organic feel lacking in most studio releases and provides further proof that Gemini Soul is jazz with a pulse, as opposed to a bunch of musicians giving standard songs the ol' studio-clean sheen.

Jerusalem, Israel - Israeli scientists have confirmed that a date palm seed found in the Judean Desert in the ancient ruins of Masada is 2,000 years old and is the oldest seed ever to germinate.
The seed had been found in the 1960s and was preserved until scientists planted the seed three years ago. Since then, it has sprouted into a healthy four-foot tall seedling.
The plant is named Methuselah, after the oldest person in the Bible. The journal Science reports that Methuselah is seven centuries older than a 1,300 year-old Chinese lotus, which was previously thought to be the oldest germinated seed.
Jerusalem scientist Sarah Sallon and her colleagues are testing the plant to see if it represents an extinct species. They will know in about two years whether the plant is a female and capable of bearing fruit.
Sallon believes it is possible that the seed was left by the Jews who escaped the Roman sacking of Jerusalem for the fortress of Masada and held out against the Roman siege in AD 73, then committed suicide rather than submit to Roman rule. They burned their food supplies to show that they didn't starve to death.
Sallon said, "These people were eating these dates up on the mountain and looking down at the Roman camp, knowing that they were going to die soon, and spitting out the pits. Maybe here is one of those pits."

WCPT Subgroup
Contact detailsWeb: iaapt.wcpt.org
International Acupuncture Association of Physical Therapists
The International Association of Physical Therapists (IAAPT) is an international network of physical therapy associations and individuals interested in the practice of acupuncture.
It was founded in 1991 and became a subgroup of the World Confederation for Physical Therapy in 1999.
It was formed by a core group of physiotherapists from five countries, where physiotherapists had been practicing acupuncture since the early 1980's - Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
Since becoming a subgroup in 1999, membership has grown to include six further member organisations in Argentina, Hong Kong, Canada, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Greece, and there are individual members in a further six countries.
The association consists of academics and clinicians from 11 member organisations. It promotes the dissemination of ideas by means of a journal produced three times a year.
Every four years a General Meeting is held, at which officers are appointed and accounts approved. This meeting coincides with the WCPT Congress).
The association encourages a broad approach to the practice of acupuncture, being aware that members need to conform to the rules and regulations that govern registration in their own countries.
Standards of practice for basic safety have been established and accepted by member organisations. IAAPT is continuing to work towards an accepted international basic training.
Each country is represented in regional committees. IAAPT has an executive committee and education committee, publication editor and sub-editor (see list of officers and regional representatives).

The clip car accident from Crossing Over (2009) Uh, I'm not finding any record of your I-539 in our system. You said you sent it in six weeks ago? Eight. Eight weeks ago. Okay. Well, do you have a mailing receipt? No, because I just copied my I-94 and sent it by regular mail. Okay, well, then how about a cancelled check for the application fee? Um, well, I paid by money order. I don't have a checkbook. I didn't get a receipt for my money order. Listen, I'm starting to get a little concerned here- Ma'am, you are not out of status... ...until you receive a decision on your extension application. However, if that application is lost in the system... ...or for whatever reason it doesn't get to us... ...then how are we supposed to know... ...that you even sent it in in the first place? From our perspective, with no mailing receipt or cancelled money order... ...you're out of status, unless- My application just turns up. Son of a bitch. Fuck. It's a brand-new fucking car. Sorry, didn't I- I didn't have time to stop. You just shot out like that. I signaled, didn't I? No, and even if you did... ...it's supposed to be clear before you turn into the street. You okay? Yeah. Yeah? You look dazed. No. Do you need to sit down? Does it hurt anywhere? No, no, no, no, no. You sure? Yeah, I'm all right, I think. I've just had a really, really shitty day. Where you from, New Zealand? Australia. It's always one or the other. I can never quite tell the difference. I said New Zealand to impress you in case I was right. Most people usually say Australia... ...which upsets the Kiwis. I don't have the money to pay for this. I'm not insured on my car. Ouch. That's not good.

Have you ever heard of double exposure technique? Well, in case you get to the end of the article you'll able to even make such photos yourself – all you'll need is you creativity and some luck. Double Exposure is a technique achieved by combining two images into a single one. The technique is achieved either by taking two pictures on the same frame of the film or by printing two images on the same photo paper. When used accidentally the technique can ruin the shot. When done correctly, double exposure appears on a photograph as if one image has been superimposed over another. The result can be also achieved by covering the part of the lens and taking a shot, then covering the other part of the lens and taking a shot again on the same frame. Ideal double exposure shots can be done with a camera set on a tripod though it requires a bit of compositional skills and a bit of luck with lighting.
Tip: Its incredibly simple to do this effect with older cameras. You need to take the first picture with darker background and the second with lighter.
Some modern cameras have a "double exposure" option it overlays one shot over another. As always it's much easier to use some computer software for this purpose like Photoshop but our today's purpose is to deliver the information on how to create this effect without using any software.

You will be forgiven for making the assumption that business cards, as we know them, were invented in the 1980s, the decade that corporate was in the bandwagon list. Sorry to tell you, but you'd be wrong. Business cards have been in use for many, many centuries. Almost as soon as companies and individuals savvied-up to the idea of advertising their services, business cards have been around. Here we take a quick dash through the decades to look at the origins of that humble, yet invaluable, 3.5 by 2-inch rectangle of card, tracing the development from its invention back in the 15th century up to today's examples – which more often than not aren't even made of a card!
Experts tend to agree that the origins of the business card can be traced back to China 15th century. They were known as 'visiting cards' and served as a calling card to announce one's intention of meeting with another individual. They could also be handed at the door of elite establishments so that the owner of the establishment could decide if permitting a meeting was worthwhile. Visiting cards were an essential self-promotion tool of the upper classes, a personal advertisement and a basis of forging an introduction.
The practise of exchanging cards soared during the 17th century, particularly in Europe. The highly mannered reign of Louis XIV is considered to be the calling card heyday, where an individual's success or failure in society often depended on the strength of their personal promotion.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, a strict protocol existed to ensure that calling cards were employed correctly. If a gentleman wished to call on a lady, he had a lot to think about. On making a first call, he had to make sure there is a separate card for each lady of the household. Alternatively, he could fold his card down the middle to indicate it was meant for all members of the household. Cards had to be left with the servant; admission to the house would only be permitted after the hostess had examined the card. Calling cards were to be collected on a small tray kept in the hallway, which would be presented by a servant on the palm of his left hand. While a gentleman may carry his cards loose in his pocket, a lady should use a card case. If the gentleman received no acknowledgement of his card, he had to accept that there would be no continuation of the acquaintance. And on no account was it ever acceptable to sneak a peak at cards that had been left by other callers.

Shadow is a great object for the photo art and we've decided to devote our Friday post to shadows. Indeed, photographers adore playing with shadows and creating mesmerizing imagery. It seems that most of the photos that we've included to our showcase have deep philosophical background which makes them remarkable and deeply intriguing. We sincerely hope that our showcase of shadow photography will inspire you to create more artistic photos. Have a nice Friday to all of you dear readers!

The main principle of the contrast is the visible difference between two or more colors that makes the outstanding effect on the website. The method of clashing color scheme will be really helpful in separation of the header, content area and footer. Actually you can play with the contrast as much as you want, creating new schemes and combinations which will suit your project.

When singer-songwriter Danny Ruiz first moved back to the area about 2½ years ago, he soon looked around for ways to continue his burgeoning music career.
That's when he found a songwriting contest, Chicken & Pickin', at Wings and Things, and three weeks later, finally got up the nerve to take the stage himself.
"I thought I did pretty good, and then here comes AJ followed by Zac," Ruiz recalled, citing the late AJ Swope and Zac Wilkerson, a pair of popular singer-songwriters.
"I went back to school after that."
The metaphorical schooling is working: Today, Ruiz is one of the weekly winners of Guitars and Cadillacs' ongoing songwriting contest, and his band Gypsy Renegade is one of the more active groups around town.
The band will perform at 9 p.m. Friday at Whiskey River, 4001 S.W. 51st Ave. Ruiz also hosts a weekly open mic session on Thursdays at Rascal's, 717 S.W. 16th Ave.
Music has been a passion for the band's frontman since age 7, when he started playing after his mom bought a $10 Guild guitar at a garage sale in his hometown of Hereford.
"I was singing way before then, though. My family were farm laborers, and everybody had a radio, and we all sang along in the fields," Ruiz said.
But it wasn't until his first heartbreak in college, after catching his high school girlfriend and his best friend making out, that Ruiz, now 42, started thinking about singing in public.
"I went to my aunt's house and started singing along with Keith Whitley because it's devastating when you lose your high school sweetheart," Ruiz said. "My aunt sat there mesmerized."
After college, Ruiz moved to Colorado for a few years, then back to the Texas Hill Country before moving to Amarillo. All along the way, Ruiz was fronting bands and playing solo shows, even collaborating with Old Crow Medicine Show's Critter Fuqua while living in South Texas.
Gypsy Renegade started forming when Ruiz met Jackson Taylor, 44, through a mutual friend who knew that Taylor, a former member of Dry County Drifters, was ready to start playing in a band again.
The two became fast friends.
"I'm more of a loner-type guy, but there's something about (Ruiz)," Taylor said," he said. "We just clicked in, and it felt like I've known him all my life."
After a rotating lineup, including a drummer who dropped out shortly before a recent gig (and before this interview), Ruiz is currently playing with bassist Levi Sharp, 29, and percussionist Perry Justus, 28.
"I think the band has a lot of dynamics," said Justus, who joined up about a week ago. "There's not just one set way of doing things, not just one style of music."
Sharp just picked up the bass in September, inspired by his girlfriend Danielle Gerber, also a singer-songwriter, and he's already impressed with the way Ruiz conducts himself.
"He's very anal, and that's not a bad thing," Sharp said. "He knows a lot about music — they all do — and I've learned a lot."
Taylor agreed with Sharp's assessment.
"One of the things I admire a lot about Danny is when he's writing a song, he's very thorough," Taylor said. "He's got in his head what he wants the song to be, and he's very good about communicating that. ... And he's very open to suggestions. He's a very democratic leader; it's not his way or the highway."
Ruiz said the band hopes to record some of his original songs soon; in the meantime, he's still trying to build a fan base among the "tough crowd" of Amarillo music lovers.
"People here are very selective about their music," Ruiz said. "Familiarity is what people here like, and once they get to know you, you will have fans for life."

Boydston seeks delay on grievance
By JIM McBRIDE
Globe-News Courts Writer
Potter County Sheriff Jimmy Don Boydston has sought a hearing delay over his salary grievance until his attorney can review the case.
County officials planned to conduct the hearing sometime next week, but a delay is expected until Boydston's attorney, Jeff Blackburn, can examine the matter.
Boydston sent a letter to County Judge Arthur Ware asking that the hearing be delayed.
"To proceed without my attorney present would place me at a severe disadvantage and I appeal to your sense of fairness to not place me in this position," Boydston's letter said.
Boydston asked Tuesday for a salary grievance hearing because he was not given a raise this year.
Boydston's request came only days after a similar request by his deputies, who won sizable pay increases a year ago but none this year.
Every sheriff's department employee received a raise last November after a petition drive by the Potter County Deputy Sheriff's Association forced a countywide vote on Nov. 4, 1997. Voters narrowly approved raises totaling $715,938 for the sheriff and his employees.
Boydston's salary increased to $75,000 from $52,236 a year, but he and the county commissioners were excluded from a 3-percent raise that other elected county officials received in this year's budget.
In a letter to Ware, the sheriff said he became aware only on Oct. 15, the first payday of the 1998-99 budget year, that he had not received the pay raise. It would have increased his paycheck $2,250 a year.
"I have no memory of a vote by the court to exclude me from the 3 percent and give other elected officials a raise," the letter said.
First Assistant Potter County Attorney Dave Kemp said no separate vote took place to exclude the sheriff from the raises. But, he said, the proposed budget used in negotiations included no salary increase for Boydston or other members of the sheriff's department.
"It was common knowledge through the budget process that the sheriff's department wasn't getting a raise, and everyone assumed that meant the sheriff, too," Kemp said.
Ware said he did not propose pay raises for sheriff's department employees because they received raises in November while other county employees did not.
In an earlier interview with the Globe-News, Boydston said he is not unhappy about his pay but is seeking the grievance hearing out of principle.
"Nobody looked me in the eye and told me," Boydston said. "They buried it in some obscure record somewhere that nobody reads."

Flyers returning from World Cup enjoyed playoff-like atmosphere
Flyers returning from World Cup enjoyed playoff-like atmosphere
VOORHEES, N.J. – It's as if the season began right where it left off for the handful of Flyers players that participated in the World Cup of Hockey.
Five months removed from their first round series with Washington, the group that played in the international tournament says it was nearly identical to the tempo they saw in the NHL playoffs.
"Our division was really tight so right from the get-go you couldn't afford to lose a game," said Sean Couturier, who suited up for North America. "It definitely felt like playoffs, and it definitely didn't feel like September."
Couturier was joined by his World Cup teammate Shayne Gostisbehere, along with Team Czech Republic's Jake Voracek and Michael Neuvirth, in their return to Voorhees for their first practice with the Flyers on Monday. Team Canada's Claude Giroux and the Team Europe duo of Mark Streit and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare will be competing in the finals this week.
While it may have been an early exit for the first wave of Flyers who reported back, the experience of playing in a tournament with that high of intensity has left them more confident than they've ever felt at this time of the year, particularly for Gostisbehere.
The Calder Trophy runner-up underwent offseason hip surgery following his 46-point season. Having missed a season two years ago because of a torn ACL, Gostisbehere is thankful for how much the World Cup prepared him for his second year. He says he feels better now than he ever has in his career after picking up four assists in the tournament.
"You don't play in those games in September normally so it was pretty cool to do," Gostisbehere said. "I think the tournament was a good stepping stone for me and to branch off my injury and give yourself the confidence that you're feeling good for the year."
Like Couturier and Gostisbehere, Voracek said the World Cup gameplay mirrored that of the NHL postseason.
"When I look at the season for the Flyers, it was the best thing that could have happened for me," Voracek said. "The World Cup was high level… I'm six games in before training camp even starts."
After what he calls a "good offseason" of training, Voracek saw this opportunity as almost a saving grace – a chance to regain form before embarking on his sixth season in Philadelphia. The winger had one goal and one assist in three games that "felt like I was playing in the playoffs."
Had this tournament occurred in 2015, the mindset coming back may have been different. Dave Hakstol was coaching his first professional season and as evidenced by their record to start the year and the comments made throughout, things took a little longer than expected when it came to picking up the new coach's system.
That process is behind the Flyers, and it makes missing the first weekend of camp and possibly the first week of preseason games an easier obstacle to overcome.
"It's always better when you know the system and what Hak wants in you," Voracek said. "It's obviously going to get better and better."
The best-of-three World Cup finals will begin on Tuesday with the third game (if needed) commencing on Saturday. If the teams go the full distance, the remaining three Flyers involved would likely not play their first preseason game until October 6 if not October 8, the final exhibition game.
Carson Wentz By the Numbers: Not much precedent for this success
Carson Wentz By the Numbers: Not much precedent for this success
The way Carson Wentz is playing, we may have to make this a regular feature.
Generally, when an Eagles quarterback plays lights out, we pull out the [Insert Name Here] By the Numbers.
We did it for Nick Foles after his seven-touchdown game against the Raiders, we did it for Sam Bradford a couple times late last year, we did it for Michael Vick a couple times during his hot 2010 season.
With Wentz? This might have to happen every week.
He's been that good.
So here is this week's Carson Wentz By the Numbers. Don't be surprised if you see it again very soon.
• Wentz is the first rookie in NFL history to have a game in which he completed 74 percent of his passes with 300 yards, two or more touchdowns and no interceptions. He's also only the fourth Eagle to have such a game. Randall Cunningham did it against the Giants in 1988, Donovan did it four times (in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007) and Nick Foles did it against the Raiders with his historic seven-TD game in 2013.
• Wentz is the first quarterback in NFL history to throw 30 or more passes with no interceptions in each of his first three career games.
• Wentz's 73-yard TD pass to Darren Sproles was the longest touchdown pass by an Eagles rookie since John Reaves' 77-yarder to Harold Carmichael against the Giants at Yankee Stadium in 1972.
• Wentz is only the second quarterback in NFL history to be 3-0 three games into his rookie year. The other one is former Eagle and current Cowboy Mark Sanchez, who opened his career in 2009 with wins over the Texans, Patriots and Titans. Sanchez then lost six of his next seven starts.
• Wentz is the fourth quarterback to win his first three NFL starts (not necessarily as rookies). That list includes Wentz, Sanchez, 35-year-old Dieter Brock of the Rams in 1985 (who had played a decade in the CFL) and Marc Bulger of the Rams in 2002 (in his third NFL season).
• Among quarterbacks who've thrown at least 100 passes in their career, Wentz now has the second-highest passer rating in NFL history at 103.8. He trails only Aaron Rodgers' 104.0 figure. The only other quarterback over 100 is Russell Wilson, at 101.1.
• Wentz's 125.9 passer rating Sunday against the Steelers is highest ever by an Eagles rookie. The previous high was A.J. Feeley's 114.0 mark against Tampa in 2001. But Feeley didn't start that game. So the previous high by a rookie Eagles starter was John Reaves' 105.7 rating against the Browns in 1972.
• Wentz has already tied Mike Boryla's franchise record for most wins by a rookie quarterback. Boryla won three games in 1974. Since then, Eagles rookie quarterbacks were a combined 5-21.
• Wentz's 102 pass attempts without an interception are the most in NFL history by a rookie in his first three games. Second-most are Dak Prescott's current streak of 99 attempts. The record before Wentz and Prescott came along was 86 by Chad Hutchinson of the Cowboys in 2002.
• It was widely reported that Wentz had broken the NFL record for most pass attempts without an interception to begin a career at 102. But he actually has the second-longest streak. Tom Brady began his career with 147 attempts without an interception before getting picked off by safety Eric Brown of the Broncos in his seventh career game.
• Wentz's 103.8 passer rating is third-highest in NFL history by a quarterback three games into his rookie year. His trails only Greg Cook of the Bengals (111.9 in 1969) and Marcus Mariota of the Titans (110.3 last year). Robert Griffin III (103.5 with the Redskins in 2012) and Jacky Lee (102.5 with the Oilers in 1960) are the only other quarterbacks over 100 after Week 3 of their rookie season (based on a minimum of 50 attempts).

Kitchen Tour: Paule Caillat's Splendid Paris Kitchen
French Tart Dough…à la française - By Paule Caillat, published by David Lebovitz I asked Paule a few questions about her kitchen, and about her favorite tools. Here are her answers. (And look for her three-cheese soufflé recipe a little later! It was such a treat.)
11 Questions for Paule Caillat & Her Kitchen1. What's your cooking style? I would say "natural" — seasonal, not too complicated, varied. I like to try new recipes, to explore new ingredients. Savory is my preference, but I like making desserts that are not too sweet. I like variety. Something new, something that is a challenge! I want to try cooking more Asian food — Asian with a French twist. I want to try Vietnamese spring rolls. 2. What inspires your kitchen? The weather, the light, the mood of the day. 3. What is your favorite kitchen tool or element? I need everything — but perhaps the "girafe," the handheld stick blender. Also, I love my SodaStream soda maker. 4. Best cooking advice or tip you ever received: Prepare in advance as much as you can. 5. Biggest challenge in your kitchen: Turning around the island. It is too close to the other countertops; it is hard for more than one person to move through between them. 6. Biggest indulgence: The Lacanche stove. 7. Dream tool or splurge: An ice cream maker, like David [Lebovitz]. Also, I would like an induction stove or burner. 8. What would you do differently or change about your kitchen? The grey ceramic tile. It is noisy and hard to clean. I should have put in parquet floors instead. 9. What are you cooking this week? Cheese soufflés, mushrooms, pintade. 10. What cookbook and cooks have inspired you the most? Joel Robuchon, Alain Ducasse, and my idols: The Soeurs Scotto — especially Gourmande et pressée, des Soeurs Scotto. 11. What's the most memorable meal you've ever cooked in this kitchen? For Christmas: Terrine de foie gras, gigue de chevreuil, pommes Dauphines, Paris Brest.

The smoky air in Athens City Hall just won't clear.

Discuss in Forums
The possibility of a statewide smoking ban hasn't stopped anti-smoking activists and some Athens-Clarke commissioners from pushing for a 24-hour local ban on indoor smoking.
Claude Burnett, director of the Athens-Clarke Health Department, and a representative of the American Cancer Society last week lobbied commissioners once again for a smoking ban stronger than the current indoor ban that ends at 11 p.m.
Commissioner Carl Jordan reminded Athens-Clarke Mayor Heidi Davison that the one-year anniversary of the local ban is in July. When the issue resurfaced in January, Davison said she wanted to let a year pass before considering a stronger ban.
Commissioner Elton Dodson spoke about an R.J. Reynolds stealth marketing campaign that sends smoking "hipsters" into bars and restaurants, which he said influences unknowing young people.
The local partial ban isn't working, Commissioner States McCarter said, and the statewide ban will only make things worse.
Gov. Sonny Perdue has until Tuesday to sign or veto the ban, or it will become law without his signature. It bans smoking in indoor public places like offices and restaurants, with some exceptions such as bars that only admit customers who are more than 18 years old.
Mr. Debt Calculator: Former Athens-Clarke Commissioner John Barrow has made the national debt a pet issue in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Barrow made the debt the topic of his debut speech in the House in January and sent out a news release last week unveiling a "debt calculator" outside his Washington office. It displays the total amount of the debt (about $8 trillion) and how much each American owes (about $26,000).
"Our government has a responsibility to live within its means," Barrow said in the release. "If millions of American families and businesses can live within a budget, so should the U.S. government."
Perhaps in an effort to save money, Barrow appears to have turned the debt calculator into a high school science project - a poster board sign with cut out numbers that can be changed out as the number climbs.
Now you see it, now you don't: A small item on the agenda for the Athens-Clarke Planning Commission drew lots of attention Thursday.
Planning commissioners were set to review a long-range plan for new roads, which mysteriously included a portion of the controversial and (seemingly) discarded Northern Arc, an east-west connector that would have run through the "green belt" of undeveloped land on the edges of the county. No one seems to know how the road got there, although a planner downplayed it as only an idea with no funding attached.
An Athens Grow Green member spotted a road on the map running from Tallassee Road to Cleveland Road, along a portion of the arc's route, and raised the alarm. The planning department was flooded with calls and e-mails.
At the last minute, the map was removed from Thursday's agenda. A work session will be devoted to it May 26.
