This week I learned about a condition called Williams syndrome, a disorder that neuroscientists have called the most compelling model available for studying the genetic basis of human behaviour.
It affects an estimated one in 7500 births, making it one-tenth as common as Down syndrome. Like Down syndrome, it can cause intellectual disability, heart defects, coordination problems and small stature.
What sets Williams syndrome apart are the behaviours that go along with the deletion of 26 genes from part of chromosome 7.
Children with Williams syndrome can't interpret socially fearful situations, and as a result have an extremely socially outgoing and friendly demeanour. They show no shyness around strangers and, with a language ability beyond their years, come across as cheerful and extroverted. They're known to hug strangers and can carry on conversations with anyone they meet.
There's a unique set of behaviours at play, and scientists have narrowed them down to the influence of three genes.
Meanwhile, a 2010 study examined our ability to discriminate between attributes such as race and gender.
Researchers found people with Williams syndrome could easily tell the difference between people based on gender but not race. They were capable of forming stereotypes based on gender differences but not based on racial differences.
The scientists think our brain's ability to process social fear influences our impressions of race, but not gender.
The connection between social behaviour and genes is a fascinating one. These connections are complex and only beginning to be understood, but studies such as this give us an insight into the origins of human behaviour and the biological factors that influence it.

That looks awesome Great job 8)
nice :mrgreen:
Wow !! that came out really nice, Sorry for the lag time on mine, once I get my tire it will be a little easier to get rolling....pun intended :wink:
That is one clean Buick :shock:
Beautiful attention to detail ... Especially like the front cantilever mounts, I assume you welded those to the fork.
I also like the shifter in the tank idea..I think I see a little plagiarism in my future.
TOP SHELF..........as usual.
Thanks guys! It's like a 20" bike for big kids, very comfortable. The homemade shifter works excellent and those V-brakes are great. With all the hills in my town brakes are a handy item to have! I only wish the metalflake in the paint came through a little better in the pics.
2manybikes, the build pics are all in the Muscle bike thread along with the geometry needed for a Sturmey Archer 3 speed shifter. I may put the geometry in the 'How To' section.
SWEET 8) Love where the shifter is
Hey Doug,
Haven't had much time to get on here and tell ya: GREAT JOB!
That bike came out looking great and looks like it works great. Perfect for a fast ride around town or on the Trail.
Vintage rubber, modern brakes- the Hot Rod mags always tell ya to upgrade the brakes first don't they? Who ever listens to that? American iron driveline, narrowed front end, and the bicycle equivalent of the Jag rear-end setup found in a lot of vintage custom musclecars.
This bike's got it goin' on!
Congrats on the nice work and as always bringing it all together with great details and craftsmanship.
Thanks Rob, and thanks again for blasting that frame. Hopefully I can make it to one of your rides and tear up the streets of New London!
What a beautiful bike! You've done some really amazing work on it!
Thank you sir! Having seen the bikes you've built and the beautiful components you've hand fabricated, I will take this as a compliment.
When time allows, I prefer to build my own parts also. That young son of mine keeps me pretty busy though. But that's a good thing!
Very classy bike diggin the stick shift would love to know more how you made it I wanna put one on my bike.
I just made a 'how to' post.
I like this bike. Very clean and classy like a Buick.
Very clean sweet ride man. I really like the front brake fab work. Canti posts welded on the blade fork? Just kicks butt man. KUDOS
Plus a coaster brake. Stops real nice.

For Immediate Release
U.S. Department of Justice
United States Attorney
District of Nevada
333 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Suite 5000
Las Vegas, NV 89101
Natalie Collins, Public Affairs Specialist
(702) 388-6508
LAS VEGAS - A woman charged in June 2004 along with her four children and three grandchildren with defrauding the U.S. Department of Education of almost $1 million in student loans and grants by using dozens of fraudulent identifications, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court to almost five years in prison, announced Daniel G. Bogden, United States Attorney for the District of Nevada.
ANN ARMSTRONG, age 63, of Las Vegas, Nevada, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Lloyd D. George to 57 months in prison, 3 years of supervised release, and ordered to pay $662,081 in restitution. She pleaded guilty on October 19, 2005, to one count of conspiracy to commit student loan fraud and one count of student loan fraud.
"The government will continue to aggressively pursue cases of student loan fraud,"said U.S. Attorney Bogden. "When individuals fraudulently and illegally receive federal student aid grants and loans, less money is available for deserving students. In this case, Ann Armstrong and her family engaged in an extensive fraud involving institutions in several states, dozens of purported students and almost $1 million in federal student loans and grants."
ANN ARMSTRONG admitted in her guilty plea memorandum that she conspired with her children, Yasmin Armstrong, Anthony Armstrong, Michelle Armstrong, and Royale Armstrong, and grandchildren Michael Armstrong, Jason Jones and Justin Jones, to commit financial aid fraud. The object of the conspiracy was to fraudulently obtain federal student financial aid (grants and loans) through the use of false applications which were submitted by fax and e-mail. Financial aid checks were received through the mail and the funds obtained through the use of false identification documents. Many of the students were unaware that their names were being used to obtain the financial aid.
Using this scheme, the defendants fraudulently obtained almost $1 million in federal student loans and grants. The actual loss to the Department of Education from the fraudulent scheme is estimated at more than $600,000.
ANN ARMSTRONG received an enhanced sentence because she was a leader or organizer of the fraud and it involved five or more participants or was otherwise extensive. She prepared the financial aid applications and directed the activities of the other defendants. She also received most of the proceeds of the fraud and determined how much of the proceeds would be dispersed to the other defendants.
Four of the other seven Armstrong family members charged in this case, Royale Armstrong, Michelle Armstrong, Anthony Armstrong and Yasmin Armstrong, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit student loan fraud and were sentenced to prison terms. Another family member, Michael Armstrong, also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit student loan fraud and is scheduled for sentencing on March 24, 2006, and faces up to five years in prison. Justin Jones pleaded guilty to misdemeanor student loan theft and was sentenced to five years of probation.
Jason Jones is presently in prison on unrelated state charges and has not yet appeared in this case. The fraudulent scheme was initially reported to the U.S. Department of Education Office of Inspector General by a financial aid officer at Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno.
The financial aid officer observed that a number of students were applying for financial aid using the same addresses and telephone numbers. An investigation was initiated, ultimately leading to the filing of a criminal complaint and issuance of arrest warrants against the defendants.
"Special Agents aggressively pursue those who seek to enrich themselves at the expense of our nation's students," said Department of Education Inspector General John P. Higgins, Jr. "We continue to work with others in law enforcement to prevent identity theft and to safeguard federal education dollars."
This case is being investigated by Special Agents with the Department of Education Office of the Inspector General, and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Russell E. Marsh.

Jack Wilshere should be spared the expectations of a nation when he returns from injury, according to Arsène Wenger.
The 20-year-old is close to a first-team return after 14 months on the sidelines and continued his progress with 90 minutes in a training ground friendly on Wednesday afternoon.
Wilshere was a revelation for club and country before succumbing to injury last summer but Wenger does not want the midfielder to be built up as 'England's saviour'.
"The fate of the country should never turn to one player," he said. "You have to have many good players and if you have to wait until one player comes back that means something is wrong.
"If Spain are world champions and European champions it's because they are spoilt for choice. If Cazorla is not fit, Fabregas plays. If Fabregas is not fit, Iniesta plays. That for me is the biggest problem you have in England.
"Even a player like Arteta doesn't get called up for Spain and once you have a problem like that in England, you will not need to go bonkers for anybody."
All the same, Wenger is confident that Wilshere will thrive when he returns to top-flight action - partly because his injury problems emerged slowly rather than suddenly.
"You can have apprehension after a serious injury," explained Wenger. "In your memory you have a moment where you have been hit and you will try to avoid getting in the same position again.
"For example, if you protect the ball and somebody tackles you from behind and kills your knee, when you come back it will be difficult to protect the ball in the same position. People may not notice but many times the players does not get in that position where he has been vulnerable.
"The other problem - with Eduardo for example - was that he had a restriction of his ankle movement, which is a massive problem for a football player.
"Jack has none of that - he was not injured in a specific tackle. He had a stress fracture that came slowly, so he has no memory in the game of having been kicked by anybody or injured by anybody. There is no specific position where he got injured."
After so long out Wilshere will have some new team-mates with whom to build relationships. Again, Wenger does not expect this to be a problem.
"Good players like to play with each other," he said. "Cazorla came here and straight away after 10 minutes of training everybody understood he is a great player.
"The easiest way to find good combinations is to play offensively together. The most difficult thing for the manager is to find a defensive balance."

[quote user="titwio"]Not condoning Dez's behavior at all but according to reports his mother is far from a saint. In-fact she has quite a rap sheet involving selling and abusing crack cocaine.
I've seen some messed up stuff in my life and pretty much all of us here have no idea what really happened... I'm just saying maybe we shouldn't judge the guy without knowing exactly what happened or the way he may have grown up in those circumstances. There's history there we know nothing about.[/quote]
It doesn't matter how messed up his mother is/was Dez should never rough up a women let alone his mother. I think his mothers past is irrelevant at this point and while she may have provoked him, he could easily have walked away. Also listening to the 911 tape it sounds like this isn't the first time he roughed her up. Sucks he's in a dysfunctional household but he should know right from wrong by now.

http://www.france24.com/en/20120414-...princess-hijabFrom the sand dunes of the Rub al Khali desert to the snow-capped peaks of the Dolomites in northern Italy, Emirati teen Zahra Lari made figure skating history this week.
The 17-year-old not only became the first figure skater from the Gulf to compete in an international competition but the first to do so wearing the hijab, an Islamic headscarf.
http://www.thenational.ae/archived/s...-history-books...her dream is to represent the UAE at the Olympics.
She came a step closer to achieving that goal when the Olympic champion, Evan Lysacek, asked to skate with her twice when he was visiting the capital - a moment Zahra described as the most significant and rewarding of her skating career.
This is really neat! Here's hoping she does well in the future!:)

As more and more solutions are developed to populate data warehouses, it is apparent that merely delivering data isn't the complete answer organizations are looking for. There is a crucial need for operational data quality upon which to base their analytical and decision support systems. Operational data quality - real-time or near-real-time delivery, as opposed to batch-based data quality processes - is incorporated directly into the business processes of the organization's operational systems.
This allows organizations to make better business decisions faster than ever before from varied sources and types of growing data. Although it's easy to assume that high-level executives make most of the organization's decisions, the reality is that operational decision making happens at all levels of the organization on a daily basis.
This white paper examines three areas of focus when considering the implementation of an operational data quality process. The first is variables that can disrupt data-driven decision making, such as time, big data, pattern recognition, human biases, intuitions and errors. The second is why decision-driven data management is a strategy for enabling your organization to achieve better decisions with better data. And finally, why closing the decision-data feedback loop is the most critical success factor in data-driven decision making.

Who Do We Blame for Bath Salts? William-Sonoma, or Government Drug Policies?

WIth the recent cases of cannibalism as a consequence of using bath salts, a synthetic drug that's now easily found on the streets, people are wondering: Is this the beginning of the zombie apocalypse? Or is this merely the consequence of slow-moving, half-witted drug policies that in fact encourage this type of drug economy?

Enjoying Flying Dog's Brewhouse Rarities Green Tea Imperial Stout
Thanks to the generous folks at Flying Dog, I was able to try 1 of the 3 bottled Brewhouse Rarities, the 10% Green Tea Imperial Stout. The beer was released in February 2013 and follows the simple criteria that all the rarities are held to: "Too weird to live, too rare to die."
Ray and I sat down with a 750 mL of the beer Wednesday night, and here are our thoughts:
The beer pours jet black and opaque with a fluffy mocha head that lingers. I picked up sweet chocolate notes in the aroma, while Ray found nutty and crisp notes.
There was a medium mouthfeel, and I found that the stout coated my tongue, but pleasantly (no motor oil slickishness here).
I found the Green Tea Imperial Stout to be mega chocolatey, yet still balanced. Ray noticed a lot of dark fruit and molasses, as well as chocolate.
Unfortunately, neither one of us could pick up any green tea notes.
As I let the beer warm in my glass for 15-20 minutes, I thought I dedicated a slight herbal bitterness, but it was so hard to tell. I had Ray check and recheck, because he drinks green tea regularly, while I do not. He was unable to taste any green tea.
That said, this is an excellent imperial stout. The higher ABV is obvious, but it doesn't hit you over the head. Ray felt that this style wasn't the one to pair with green tea—maybe a pale ale would have been better?
Either way, I'm excited to work this beer into a baked good, which I plan to feature on my baking blog, Cupcake Friday Project. Stay tuned!
Disclosure: Flying Dog provided me with two bottles of Green Tea Imperial Stout so I could review it and develop a recipe for it on Cupcake Friday Project. My opinions are my own.

Steamboat Springs Local skiers dominated the steep pitches of Voo Doo ski run Thursday and the top spots in the Rocky Mountain Regional Championships.
Steamboat Springs skiers held the top two positions in both the women's and men's standings following the completion of the junior moguls event.
Lauren Crawford scored 23.46 points to beat Winter Sports Club teammate Gina Gmeiner in the women's junior moguls.
Team Summit's Jenny Haywood was third and Alison Levy of Ski Club Vail was fourth.
"I was pretty psyched to win," Crawford said after the event.
Crawford blew out after the first air but was able to get back up and finish the course.
"I knew that I needed a strong second run to win. I couldn't make any major mistakes," Crawford said.
Crawford was able to do just that on her second attempt and held on to beat out Gmeiner. The win should help Crawford, who has been battling back problems the past couple of seasons, gain some major confidence as she moves into junior nationals, world juniors and the U.S. National Championships later this season.
"I guess this event was a warmup for the junior nationals," Crawford said. "It was nice to get back in the gates and practice competition."
Jordan Chiovarelli earned the top spot in the men's standings with a score of 24.79. It was just enough to slip past teammate Jarrett Arguelles, who netted 23.91 points.
Travis Redd of the Aspen Valley Ski Team was third and John Eaton of Winter Park was fourth.
"We had a lot of great young talent out there," said Wendy Allen, Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club freestyle director.
In addition to the top two spots, the Winter Sports Club's Maryann Skraba also took fifth, Caterina Mader was sixth and Celia Scanzo was eighth. Patty Hanley came in 13th and Jenny Rose Lee was 14th.
Other top Steamboat finishers in the men's event included David Schwanke in ninth, Charlie MacArthur in 10th, Kyle Ewing in 13th and Luke Belz in 16th. Broc Sheue was 18th, Abe Maynard was 22nd, Bo Randolph was 24th, Paul Khuri was 25th, Nick Bucci was 28th and Daniel MacArthur was 37th.
The Rocky Mountain Regional Championships will continue today with the championship moguls. The field will be slightly smaller but will not be limited by the age of the athlete.
The competition will start at 10 a.m. at the Voo Doo mogul course. The final event of the week the dual moguls will take place on Saturday starting at 10 a.m.

Town Square
New Utilities Director could cost Palo Alto lots of $$$$s
Original post made by Diana Diamond, Palo Alto Online blogger, on Jun 20, 2006
Benest recently told the council that because of all the problems the Utilities Department has experienced, the new person will be hard to find and expensive to get.
The city manager hinted that the new utilities director might even have to be offered a house as part of the deal to lure him to Palo Alto. What truly amazed me was the council was told this as the search by a private headhunting firm has just started. There's nary a candidate in mind to fill the slot, but already the council was told that the person is going to be pricey and may need a house. We're nowhere near the offer-counteroffer stage.
That to me is a council set-up. And it's almost a guarantee that whoever is offered the job will demand a house, because Benest, at a public meeting, said these could be the terms.
Granted the department has had problems. The city spent $300,000 investigating allegations of sexual harassment, witness intimidation, false overtime and moonlighting. Six utility department employees quit or were fired and 13 more were disciplined. And there also were the mysterious "resignations" of Utilities Director John Ulrich and his deputy.
The Palo Alto Weekly filed suit to force the city to reveal how it spent $300,000, and unless the judge's decision is appealed, the city will now have to reveal what these workers did to get themselves in such trouble.
Ulrich announced in October 2005 that he was departing, but the search was not officially begun until recently. Why? Because Benest wanted to decide whether the utilities department should be reorganized, or even split in two, and said that decision was needed before the job could be advertised.
That makes sense, but it doesn't make sense for the city to have taken nearly five months to decide not to split the department. It seems to me decision-makers could have discussed the pros and cons of reorganizing at a day-long retreat, and then get on with the search.
Since Ulrich's departure, Assistant City Manager Emily Harrison and Director of Administrative Services Carl Yeats have been running the utilities department together, as well as doing their own jobs, which is a big load, especially since it will probably be months before a person is finally hired.
At Benest's recommendation, both Yeats and Harrison received a 9 percent (yes, nine) salary increase at the June 12 council meeting, in appreciation for their extra efforts and also to boost their salaries to put them on a par with other department heads (meaning the new utilities director). Ulrich was getting $187,000 when he left. Harrison was making $165,000, and now got a $15,000 boost to bring her up to $180,000, while Yeats also received a $15,000 increase, placing him at the $176,000 level. As an aside, I am not sure why the new person has to get $187,000, since Ulrich worked his way up to that number.
By the way, anytime upper management staff salaries go up, that's almost a guarantee that Benest will suggest that his salary needs to be raised, to assure that the most highly paid person in the city continues to receive the highest pay.

They all are getting paid way too much money for the work they do. Having lived in PA for 40+ years; all I've seen is that the services that we are provided are fewer, more expensive and lower quality.

The people at the top just keep getting more and more. Don't you just love it?! At the same time as the worker bees get cut or held at small increases. It ought to be an exciting plum job to come into Palo Alto and manage Utilities. Civil service jobs were traditionally paid less than private sector and in return had security and pensions. It's time for either a return to this or the big bucks and drop the security and pensions! Nobody else gets all 3!

I believe the utility department should be split - one half, directed by a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Califonia as a Civil, Electrical or Mechanical Engineer, who would be responsible for the operation and planning of all units of the Utility Department. The other part, headed by a drama major or an acupuncturist, would be responsible for all the hamster wheel power projects and all the other feel good, accomplish nothing projects that Ulrich spent all his time on.

I have enjoyed you insightful comments on the utilities department fiasco. For the record, I have applied for the position of Director of Utilities and am now mired in the process! I am long time PA resident that seriously cares about our city. For te record, I am a very experienced high tech senior manager that has focused on changing organizational culture and operation. Frankly, I don't think I have a chance of being hired for this position, but I know I could do an outstanding job of turning this organization around. Any help or insight you might provide would be greatly appreciated.

Smokey [no relation] you may be too late,. The city is considering monday a proposal to turn the utility department even more into a social engineering project, just incedentally delivering electricity and gas, as long as it is green.

I've been loosely following the utilities investigation and it seems to me that something is missing, what about the other city departments? It's been my experience that if one department in a city has a problem then it's not much of a stretch to have at least one more department have the same types of problems. I haven't seen any indication that other departments were looked at. Also what about the role of the "watch dog" departments, i.e. the city auditor, Personnel/Human Resources, the legal department and the executive branch?
It appears to me that the PA city auditor hasn't done more than a cursory review of any of the "Operating" departments in several years. If there have been audits, what do they show? Why didn't the audits catch the so called problems?
My sources tell me that the PA HR department is understaffed, slow to respond and afraid to make decisions and take action. I have been told horror stories about supervisors trying to discipline employees. All PA discipline is supposed to be cleared by HR and the legal dept. I have heard that it will take anywhere from several weeks to several months for HR to act and then only after the personnel lawyer makes sure she's comfortable. Most times the discipline recommended by the supervisor or manager is either reduced or over ruled. How can discipline be effective if it takes months to deliver and how can any supervisor do a good job when they are not supported by city hall? It is easy to see how employees could get the idea they are immune to repercussions.
I have also heard that the attorney responsible for employee and labor issues is gun shy about making personnel recommendations and has not supported most of the recommendations for discipline and corrective action. What role did this play in employee attitudes that they can get away with anything?
What about the executive branch, the City Manager and Assistant City Manager. Everything I've seen in the news indicates that Frank Benest is at best an ineffective leader and absentee manager and at worst knew about the utility leadership problem and didn't deal with it. All indications are that Ms. Harrison the Assistant City Manager, has done a good job with the investigations but I recently heard that Mike Miller the former senior Public Works employee brought in to investigate things is a close personal friend of Ms. Harrison and may have a big interest in deflecting any dirt away from Public Works. I wonder how much he was paid to only look at one department and why did it take so long? Something to ponder???
What about those guys, Ulrich and Bradshaw, Scapegoats? Possibly bought off with retirement to keep the investigation from spreading? Is this a cover up for deeper problems within the city structure? I wonder?
Lots of unanswered questions. Guess we'll never really know the whole story but I sure don't trust "City Hall".

I've been down here in SC working bees these past three weeks and we haven't had very good weather for foraging or mating. Next week doesn't look any better. Will hardly break 60 degrees all week according to The Weather Channel.
I spent the last two days feeding hives w/ HFCS 55, some twice in less than 24 hours. Yellow jasmine is in bloom and causing problems in those hives foraging on it.

I think the Giants were happy when Mcclain was picked because they didnt have to explain the pick to the fanbase ,I think they wanted Paul all along.
I was high on Titus Young coming out of the draft but take a look at this
Lions benched Titus Young for sabotaging their passing offense
Per Birkett, Young purposely lined up in the wrong place on the field "multiple times" during the Lions' Week Eleven loss to Green Bay. He also "mouthed off" to receivers coach Shawn Jefferson before being benched for the final possession. Apparently upset that he wasn't getting enough passes thrown his way, Young responded by attempting to sabotage the Lions' passing offense.
Young's teammates understandably don't have his back anymore; top wideout Calvin Johnson indicated after the Thanksgiving game that he anticipates the Lions moving forward with rookie Ryan Broyles and newly acquired Mike Thomas in the lineup.
"It was nice to see some new playmakers in there making plays," Johnson told the Detroit News. "We are going to keep progressing with these new guys in our receiver group."
i was one of the rare ones on here that stuck up for JPP leading toward the draft, as most on here didn't want em at all, because of his expierence, and most of the praise for him coming on potential.. I delved deeper to find out things about him when he was in Jr College that fascinated me, like going to the hospital and having to have his helmet cut off, and then begging to go back to the game,a nd getting a doctors note to bring back to the game .. Showed the kinda class and determenation he had, and that was in a Jr College game!!!lol Also, i thought his production at S.FLA in only his first major season of Bigtime college football showed the signs of a player that was gonna only get better.. 6.5sacks and a bunch of TFL.. Now if that was yr 3 or something, maybe i'd wonder, but the fact he did that right outta the gates, and that Jr College story , and his motor to go with that build and athletic ability were enough to make me a believer..
Obviously Earl Thomas was my first choice, but i had no problems at all with JPP.. I either wanted Mike Iupati(whos been really good by the way), Earl Thomas, JPP, or McClain.. I wasne't a fan of Cj Spiller, for pickign where we were, and never thought he'd be a workhorse, toat the load type back, without getting injurys galore.. Not my type of back to take that early.. Guys like Trent Richardson, Marshawyn Lycnh, AP, are the kinda backs i prefer in the front half of RD 1...
Rumors that honey badger is going to declare for the draft. Bet he goes 7th round or ubdrafted. Interviews are critical for him
If you believe the articles, then it was CJ that Reese had his eye on. I was ok with almost all the guys you mentioned, but there was another guy who was widely suspected who I was not ok with and that was Derrick Morgan. A lot of this board felt we would take him over JPP, I was very vocal about JPP over Morgan.
I was wrong about some guys, like McClain. I also didnt want us to take Witherspoon, who has turned out quite well but my reasoning was sound. I felt Daryl Washington was just as good and was being very undervalued by scouts. I felt where he was being projected he was a better value.
The thing about McClain tho, and I am not saying he is good, but it is very hard to say a guy is a flop when he fails with the raiders. Over the last 2 decades how many great prospects has that organization chewed up and spit out? They are the worst developers of talent in the NFL. Its not even close. They throw rookies into the lineup on day 1, then change coaches and systems every other year. I have said for years, the Raiders are the organizatrion where Talent goes to die. They can go there out draft or as a free agent, it doesnt matter. McClain may never live up to his billing, but he could very easily move onto another team and prove to be a very good player. Furthermore, who knows how he would have turned out had he been drafted by an organization that actually develops and coaches it players up.
Its noy like the kid was a slouch coming out of college, like some posters allude too in the Mcclain thread on tue regular forums. The kid was a top 10 pick by every major analyst, and rightfully so the measurables we great, the proday confirmed his skill/ athleticisim/ ability along with his production in college. Yes we don't draft need but we lost pierce the season before, and we were in the blind with goff and blackburn. Its not beyond the stretch of reality that the giants were high on this guy, and had he been there I think they would of taken the pro ready prospect over the raw prospect. Glad it turned out the way it did, as i for one was not thrilled with the JPP pick. Not cause of the player, but we were stacked at the position.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by WoodysGirl, Jan 22, 2013.
Calvin Watkins @calvinwatkins
Jerry Jones said he can see Tyrone Crawford as DT in 4-3.
What does Kiffin say?
I think Rat/Hatcher will be the DT's.
For once, Jerry may not be wrong. Hatch, if I'm not mistaken, is only signed through 2013. He could learn under Hatch/Rat.
I can too.
I don't think Crawford has the burst to be a better-than-average 4-3 DE.
I think this team has a boat-load of 4-3 DT's...
...And not much else.
In this day and age, you rotate out your DT's so you end up with 3 or 4 guys as de-facto starters.
I like to see them give him a shot at left end and if that doesn't work move him inside. Or use him like the Giants used Tuck. Outside on run downs and inside on the nickel.
Right now he is built more like an end. Have to see how big he comes in at camp.
I agree with you. I'm think DE is a much bigger need than DT at this point.
thanks jerry.
what your DC thinks is all i'm intersted in.
Right. Crawford is the most suited for 4-3 DE of that group. So why stick him in the DT rotation?
Chances are he's just repeating what Kiffen told him. Or what anyone with 2 eyes can see.
You're right in that he's probably better suited for being a 4-3 DE than the others.
But he's probably not the best option for being a starting 4-3 DE.
Not in a Giants style 4-3, but he is very similar to a Strong-Side DE in the Kiffin style defenses.
I think he can player either the 3-tech DT or the SDE.
Yeah, you're probably right.
I just think the Cowboys will come up with a better option at DE.
I like that idea. I think the Cowboys should have been doing it with Rat for a long time.
he does not have the ability of Tuck though, I don't think, so who knows if it would work as well.
Jerry can't just tell if Crawford can play dt. Either marinelli or kiffin had to bring this up
Great. We all know Jerry is devoid of football sense. :
Crawford is a good asset for us going forward.
He's already shown he can play in this league and he could have some versatility in this scheme.
If 4-3 DE is the question, then Ezekial is the Ansah.
:laugh1: Nice.
Could be true too.
High risk though
Huge upside.

Tell your doctor immediately if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: seizures.
Changes in body fat (such as increased fat in the upper back and stomach areas, decreased fat in the arms and legs) may occur while you are taking HIV medication. The cause and long-term effects of these changes are unknown. Discuss the risks and benefits of therapy with your doctor, as well as the possible role of exercise to reduce this side effect.

The apartment has 4 bedrooms but the 3rd and 4th bedroom will only be open to guests if the group is more than 4 or 6 people respectively.
To avoid any misunderstanding, the bedrooms offer works like this:
1 to 4 guests = 2 bedrooms available
5 to 6 guests = 3 bedrooms available
7 to 8 guests = 4 bedrooms available
So, for example, if you are only 4 people but you want to use the 4 bedrooms, you will have to mention on your inquiry that you are 7 people because, only this way you will have access to the 4 bedrooms.
Nevertheless, all the other areas (Kitchen, 2 bathrooms and the large Living Room) will be available in any option, and the apartment will be (in all cases) only for you because I will not book bedrooms to more than one group of guests at the same time. You will be the only group of people staying in the apartment.

The bus stops at the door and line 500 will take you in 20 minutes into the historical centre of Porto (near Ribeira) for € 1.85 per person. The bus trip to the historical center of Porto is very beautiful, first along the sea promenade and then along the Douro river.

The green lungs of the city. Parque da Cidade has 83 hectares of green areas, footpaths and varied sports equipment, it is the largest park in Porto. It is a pleasant place of about 10 km of paths and rich and varied fauna and flora.

We had a wonderful time in this large three-bedroom apartment. The
benevolent ribbon windows overlook the Parque da Cidade and the
Atlantic Ocean. The old fishing village Matosinhos with very good and
inexpensive restaurants is at walking distance. Matosinhos is the
hometown of Portugal's most prominent modern-day architect: Álvaro
Siza Vieira. The village houses a couple of his early works, such as
the Boa Nova tea house and a swimming pool overlooking the sea at Leça
de Palmeira. But the metropolis of Porto is not far away. The metro
line takes less than half an hour to reach the city center with its
broad vistas, small alleys in the medieval town called Ribeira and its
wonderful bridges over the river Douro. Porto, a city to fall in love
Appartement conforme à la description : spacieux, calme, propre. John nous a accueilli avec beaucoup de sympathie et a pris le temps de nous indiquer les lignes de bus, métro, lieux de visites, restaurants... Ses conseils nous ont été précieux. L'appartement est bien situé pour visiter Porto et sa région (en train) et en face une grande plage de sable fin. Merci beaucoup, nous avons passé d'excellentes vacances !
Nuestra estancia fué perfecta. El apartamento muy amplio y en buenas condiciones. La localización estupenda, cerca del mar y con una línea de autobuses que te dejan en Oporto en muy pocos minutos y el recorrido es precioso.
El anfitrión encantador y muy dispuesto.
Appartement très agréable et très bien situé pour le surf.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour.
En améliorant l'équipement de l'appartement ce serait parfait. Il manque des verres à vin et des couteaux de cuisine.
Un très bon séjour, nous reviendrons.
Mooi appartement,met alle benodigheden die je nodig hebt Gelegen net op de scheiding van het begin van Porto en Het vissersdorpje Matosinthos welke echt dichtbij is om naar toe te wandelen en lekkere verse vis te gaan eten Heel makkelijk om Porto stad te bereiken door heel goede busverbindingen en metroverbinding Mooie kunstwerken in appartement,prima badkamers en panoramisch zicht over strand Aan overkant straat is groot park met het palvilioen van de expo uit lissabon Echt een aanrader dit appartement Enigste wat ik kan aanmerken,geen fietsverhuur gevonden in geburen Zou leuk zijn als er in appartement een paar zouden staan om te kunnen gebruiken Voor de rest tip top en smorgens bakker vlakbij met lekkere broodjes en pistolekes Christina & John dank u Vriendelijke mensen en steeds bereikbaar via Windu

Wow John & Christine - Christine & John . No matter how you turn it they are the best hosts of rentals we have had contact to so far.
Fair price , immediate response kind and precise .
Great location in the middle of the historic center of the beautiful city of Porto.
In the walking street, just across the house where Ernest Hemmingway lived for some time in the twenties,( now under renovation) I reach of all interesting locations within 1 km reach.

The building is beautiful and the apartment is a charm. A dream of a vacation rental.

Best regards. Jie , Kurt , Thomas & Sofie
Most beautiful appartment in Porto! In the middle of the town with everything you need. Cristina, you should mention that there is a hairdryer :-).
Wonderful stay in Porto in great location !
We arrived at midnight and our hosts were already expecting us. They were extremely friendly and gave us very valuable information on the city. We felt very welcome in the apartment which we had rented for 11 days. The two rooms are spacious. The hallway is big and contains closets for belongings. The kitchenette contained all kinds of equipment which we did not use. But we used the electric water heater to prepare our morning tea which we enjoyed on the small balcony in the morning sun.
The location is absolutely excellent, 10 minutes from the Douro Ribeira, 15 minutes to Bolaho market. Just a couple of houses up the road is a small bistro serving wonderful little dishes of organic food.
A great big thank you to John and Christina. We will definately visit Porto again and this apartment will be our preferance for accomodation!
Great appartment in a central location!
Cristina & John are very nice and helpful people, giving lots of information at arrival. House in the middle of Porto old town (pedestrian zone), many nice shops, bars and restaurants in the neighborhood, very close to the river and many sightseeing spots. Don't bring a car, parking is difficult. Flat very clean and decent, well-equipped. Only one negative point: the ventilation of the downstairs restaurant is somewhat annoying, since it's close to the windows and runs half of the night.
Anyway: Thanks for the nice stay, we enjoyed Porto very much!

This apartment is located in the city center less than 1 min away from Old town square. This area is really busy, but the street where the building with the apartment is situated, is quiet and the noise from the center will not disturb you neither at night nor during the day.
The flat by itself is gorgeous. Completely new, renovated, with a fully equipped kitchen (plates, cutlery, glasses (even for beer), a fridge with a freezer, a dish washer, an oven, a microwave, a kettle, a coffee maker).
This is a 2-roomed apartment. There is a big bedroom with a double bed, a wardrobe, a sofa, an antique table,a mirror, and a living room joint with a kitchen, which has a huge leather sofa, a TV, a dining table for 4 people.
The apartment is ideal for 4 people. Two sleeping places are provided by a double bed in the bedroom and another two - by a mezzanine bed (check the photos) in the living room.

Everything was in order,but we had only four rusians chanels in TV .We are not Russian :)
The apartment of Alex and Anastasia was beautiful. It is better than shown in photos and description. We got detailed informations ahead for the procedure when we arrived and have to get the keys from their office, which is nearby the central station. The apartment was just 3 min by foot from there. Furthermore we get very useful informations of hotspots and must seen places in Prague. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay in the heart of Prague. We very recommend this apartment.
Nice appartment, in the center of the city, near to all the nice spots in Prague.
The pickup in the airport, was nice, arrangede by Alex and Anastasia. But the transfer from appartment to airport, was not a sycces, we waited for the transfer and nothing happend, i call the office, and they forgot to arrange the transfer, even i send an e-mail the day before, to confirm the transfer, but no respons.
For familyes with kids, have in mind, there are nightclubs in the same street.
But all in all a nice holliday.
Really nice, spacious and fully equipped (good blow dryer!) apartement, only 3 walking minutes to Charles Bridge and about 8-10 walking minutes to city centre, perfect for a city trip!
As we arrvived, Alex gave us many and really good information about Prague and about the apartement neighborhood (where to breakfast, what to visit etc.). So if you come unprepared, after the key and information handover you are well informed! If you have any question, Alex or Anastacia will answer within hours, so really great host service!
We were 10 people and visited Prague for a weekend trip. As we arrived late on Friday, we picked up the keys in a locker which was very comfortable. The flat is really good located and we could reach everything easily by feet. The flat was very clean and modern. All of us liked especially the shower ;)
We had a very nice stay in Prague and all 10 of us were really satisfied wih the flat. I can recommend it for bigger groups as there are 2 bathrooms and enough space for all.
Thank you!
Excellent and spaceous appartment. In city centre, 45 seconds walk from Wencesas Square, reasonably close to the subway station Mustek. Supermarkets and plenty restaurants in walking distance. mini market and nice coffee place, 20m outside the appartment.
I went there with my family of 6. All the kids had a double bed! I would go there again. Also excellent reception by Alex from Ruterra
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
It was a wonderfull stay in this great appartment. Very clean!
We only met Alex, not Anastasia. Alex was very nice and helpful - he gave us town maps and at any time we could either call or come by the office. He was VERY patient with all of us (we were a chaotic group of 6 and couldn't follow or schedule that well - we apologize for that again).
The sunflower apartment was in a very good condition - everything was clean and nice. For those who want to book the sunflower apartment in the future, just so you know: the three rooms are next to each other, so the people who sleep in the last room have to go through the other two rooms in order to go to the bathroom. But that was no problem.
There is a vietnamese restaurant right next to the apartment which we recommend. The apartment is very central - you could also walk into the city (approx. 10min)
All in all we were very satisfied with the apartment and there is much more space for more than 6 people.
Thanks again for the hospitality! See you next time!
The apartment is well situated in the city of Prague. With in a 5min walk you'll make it to the famous bridges which crosse the city river. A shop (open 6am-11pm) which offers all the daily needs is just next to the house in which the apartment is. Despite the fact that the flat is very central it is surprisingly quiet during the nights. But if you want clubbing you'll make it to the dance floors within a 5min taxi drive.
The apartment itself is modern furnished with a friendly overall look. Especially the bathrooms look very new. We stayed there for three nights (6 people) which was perfect to get around and see the attractions which the city offer.
There's a possibility to park the car in an underground garage very close to the apartment in the national museum for about 20€/d.
Good apartment, well situated, a nice stay during eastern days.

Why are so many of our young people committing suicide? I have heard it can be because of kids copying the behaviour of others, but I fail to see how the pain and devastation that suicide causes would motivate a youth to do the same. -R, Whangarei
Studies generally support the idea that suicide clusters do exist. And we know that people bereaved by suicide are themselves at greater risk of committing suicide.
One explanation is that humans as social animals learn by imitating the behaviour of others. Sometimes this is a positive thing: if someone in your social circle quits smoking or loses weight, their behaviour is contagious but in a positive way. Your odds of quitting smoking or losing weight go up.
Likewise, when someone is considering committing a socially unacceptable act, like beating their kids or taking their own life, knowing someone else who has done it helps turn what might be a previously unimaginable act into a realistic option.
Teens may be especially susceptible to this form of social learning - it's at this age that parents stop being the most important influence, and friends become the centre of their social universe, their reference point for how to behave.
For what little we understand of the workings of the human mind, at least one basic fact about suicide is widely agreed upon: about 90 per cent of suicides occur in people who have mood disorders (depression) or substance abuse.
Both are treatable, if recognised, but the problem is that many people are unwilling to admit their depression, or to agree to psychiatric help or take medication.
Psychiatric problems are seen as a weakness, a stigma. Getting teens to admit abuse, social isolation, or despair is another thing. In almost the opposite way, substance abuse is so ingrained in our culture that for a teen to not drink is considered abnormal. The Health Promotion Agency says that one in six adults will have a substance abuse problem in their lifetimes. Perhaps youth suicide is just the most visible tip of a much bigger iceberg. Year to year we might see variations in the overall number of suicides, but they may just be a marker for much deeper problems of social distress, depression, and alcohol abuse.

Pulaski Technical College's Autism Awareness Speakers Series will conclude next week with the third in the three-part series sponsored by Arkansas Special Children and the PTC Behavioral Science and Political Science departments.
The series concludes Tuesday, April 24, with "Policymaking and Autism," at 7 p.m. in the R.J. Wills Lecture Hall. Participants include Rep. Sandra Prater (D-Jacksonville), Rep. Johnny Hoyt (D-Morrilton). Rep. Dawn Creekmore (D-Hensley), Rep. David Johnson (D-Little Rock), Sen. Gene Jeffress (D-Louann), Sen. Mary Ann Salmon (D-North Little Rock), and former Arkansas Speaker of the House Bill Stovall, who is now administrative assistant for the Arkansas House of Representatives.
Pulaski Technical College will also host an Autism Awareness Resource Fair on April 24 on the first floor of the Campus Center from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.
The second session, "Living with Autism," was held Tuesday April 17. The event featured Mills University Studies High School student Jessica "Jazz" Summers, who has autism, and Lynley Summers, an advocate for people with autism who has represented Arkansas before the U.S. Congress on autism issues. 158 educators, students and members of the general public attended.
About 150 people attended the first session last Tuesday, April 10, featuring UAMS psychologist Rachel Bowman, who spoke about autism research.
April is national Autism Awareness month. Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe issued a proclamation, declaring the same for the state.

As a young scientist, when you publish your first papers in prestigious peer-reviewed journals, you announce your presence to the scientific community. In this way, you are in the process of becoming a recognized expert of your field. Eventually, you will also receive requests from journal editors to review manuscripts submitted by other scientists. These invitations are both a privilege and a responsibility.
Taking part in the review process is critical to developing a scientific career. It helps you build relationships with journal editors; it improves your critical thinking abilities; it gives you a better understanding of the state of the art in your field; and it enhances your writing skills so you can better present your scientific ideas. In addition, good reviewing is recognized and rewarded by colleagues and scientific societies.
As you start reviewing others' work, the fundamental principle to keep in mind is the notion of reciprocity. Follow this golden rule: You should review a manuscript in the same way that you would want your manuscript to be reviewed. Here are some other best practices to keep in mind:
Respond promptly to requests. This is quite important—whether or not you accept the invitation to review. One of the worst things you could do is ignore a request for review, along with accepting it and then not honoring the request. If you are unable or unwilling to accept, it only takes a couple of minutes to notify the editor of your decision. The editor will appreciate it if you can suggest other potential reviewers.
Complete the review on time. This point is crucial to guarantee the timeline of the journal. It is unfair to authors (and editors) to be delayed by tardy reviewers. If you need extra time, contact the editor as soon as you can. Most are flexible and will agree to give you additional time in exchange for a good review.
Do not review a manuscript whose topic is unfamiliar to you. Stick to topics that you know well in order for your reviews to be the most credible and useful.
Enumerate your comments and suggestions. Again, think about how you would want someone to review your own paper. Organize your thoughts in a way that will be easy for someone to absorb and follow up on.
Read the journal's review criteria. Make sure you spend time on the journal and/or publisher's website so you understand what is expected of both authors and reviewers. This will help to ensure that your review is aligned with the publisher's expectations.
Be specific. Indicate as precisely as you can what the problems are and how they may be overcome.
Focus on the science.Avoid effortless reviews that comment only on minor grammatical errors, typos or language problems. However, if a manuscript is written in language so poor that it is difficult to understand, point this out to the editor.
Follow up. If you are reviewing a revised manuscript, make sure the authors actually made the appropriate changes in the manuscript as recommended in the first review.
Be discreet and complete. Always maintain confidentiality and notify editors of any potential conflict of interest or suspicions of plagiarism that you may have.
If you are interested in reviewing, let your academic advisor know. He or she probably gets requests regularly and will be grateful for your initiative. You can also contact the topical editors of the journals you have published in—or introduce yourself to them at a conference. Researchers are often invited to review manuscripts as a direct result of their own published work.
Good reviewers are not as easy to come across as you might think, so don't be shy. Take the initiative and get involved.

The Digestive Health Connection
All organs and systems rely on the health of the digestive tract. Proper digestion is essential for the body to absorb and utilize the nutrients it needs. In addition, 75% of the cells necessary for the immune system to function effectively are connected to the gastrointestinal tract.
Probiotics: Critical for Good Health

It works
This works well. Problem for me is that it took 7 a day to keep a condition in check for me. Far too expensive when you add it up. Symbiotics Colostrum achieves a similar result for me for a price that I can afford better. That said, as far as probiotics go, this is the best I've ever tried. I've tried Dr. Ohira's professional probiotics before, so I mean it when I say it, this the best probiotic I've ever tried.
This fixed my IBS/D
Posted by DeniMTHFR on Apr 25, 2017 | Verified Purchase
The best product I've ever used for my IBS/D. My Integrative DR, suggested I try Saccharomyces Boulardi probiotic as it might help me with this. I was taking 2-5 Immodium daily to cope. Saw this product on iHerb. With all the research I did on this I thought I'd try it. Within 2 days of starting it I was able to eliminate the Immodium to 1 every other day just as insurance. Don't really need it. So now I have a life! Needed to reorder this sooner as my guts telling me but as soon as it arrives I'm sure it'll fix it again.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
That moose fabric is a laugh - who is going to buy it first? I want to see it in a quilt.
Jenniky - don't give up on a quilt because of stems! Very briefly, here's the method:-
Fold and iron the material on the diagonal. Then cut the folded material through both thicknesses. For these stems I am cutting half an inch from the fold. Then lay the strip, still folded, on the backing material and pin in position. Have the end with the selvedge at the bottom of the stem. Then stitch one eighth of an inch from the raw edges. Next, fold the stem over and iron into place so the stitching and raw edges are covered, then stitch down the folded edge by hand. The stem will be three eighths of an inch thick. The raw edges at the top of the stem will be covered by the applique flower.
I've already called my local store and asked about the moose and the flag fabrics. She's pretty sure she has already ordered them but will double-check and call me.
I have another store to call tomorrow as they are closed Mondays.
Along Came Quilting in Alberta is offering $2.50 off per meter for pre-orders but I can't get their site to work so don't even know the price and it would probably still be cheaper to go local because of our horrible postage rates.
I may just have to issue another Patriotic Challenge in 2013 so I can use the moose fabric.
I finished my little table topper this afternoon...and no I won't be making any hot pads but may make us each a mug rug to coordinate (we'll see) I have a kazillion projects on the go, but this one was fun & managed to complete in good time, I did it as a stitch & flip (quilt as you go) Will be right back once I've resized the photos.
TBug ... Congratulations!! and what an unique tabletopper. I'm thinking that this is a table in an RV? Is your husband happy with the German touch to it? I really like that flag material. Good idea to add some mug rugs to the project!
Muv ... I'm a real basic beginner when it comes to applique, so I really appreciate every tip and trick I can learn.
that makes it seem almost ... easy! *Note* almost!
W4Me ... you could take it a step further and have it as a patriotic animal theme!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
Too late to edit my other post ....
Muv ... I'm wanting some of those moose, though with it not coming out til June, I doubt I will do anything with it for this challenge, but one never knows!
W4Me ... For some reason, I'm thinking you will want the moose too? I'm also wanting some of the nice maple leaves! And no, I don't need MORE fabric ... and have no idea what I will do with it!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
thimblebug6000 that looks great. I like how it wraps around the table so stays in place. Nicely done.
QuiltE whatever gave you the idea I want the moose fabric? Not only is June too late to add it to this project but it won't match the colour scheme so we'll have to issue another challenge next year.
Perhaps because moose fit your Halloween theme?
ooooooooooohh and you're already planning the 2nd Annual International Patriotic Challenge!!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
Moose as Halloween? That never occurred to me. You must be more twisted than I am. (said with much admiration)
Well, I am actually planning a few other challenges along the way, but, yes, the 2nd annual is on the radar.
So, who else is going to join the fun?
I've pulled out my fabrics from my stash and started working on my quilt. I am using the 10 minute block pattern (see video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbTHlGGKMPM). I will try to load some pictures as I work.
Here are the fabrics I will be working with, some of the cut blocks, the white squares for the centers and the flag fabric I will be placing in the white squares. I am making progress!
A quilt is a hug for future generations.
