Re: Tips on hiding veg
Here's a recipe for Chicken Noodle Soup that your kids will swear is only chicken and noodles.
Chicken Noodle Soup
1 small onion, chopped
3 stalks celery including leaves, chopped
1 cup mini-carrots, chopped
3 T oil to saute vegetables
2-3 boneless chicken breasts, boiled in water just to cover chicken
1 32 oz.
chicken broth
8 oz. thin spaghetti
Bring chicken breasts to boil in water seasoned with salt; cover and simmer until done. Saute chopped vegetables in oil until soft. Cool slightly and puree vegetables in blender. Tear chicken into small pieces. Places in soup pot with broth from cooked chicken and 1 box of chicken broth. Add spaghetti noodles and sauteed vegetables. Cover and cook until noodles are done. Season to taste
Macaroni and 4 Cheeses
Cooking spray
1 pound elbow macaroni
10-ounce) pureed squash
2 cups 1 percent lowfat milk
4 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar, grated (about 1 1/3 cups)
2 ounces Monterrey jack cheese, grated (about 2/3 cup)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon powdered mustard
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons unseasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon olive oil
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until tender but firm, about 5 to 8 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, place the squash and milk into a large saucepan and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally and breaking up the squash with a spoon. Turn the heat up to medium and cook until the mixture is almost simmering, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the Cheddar, jack cheese, ricotta cheese, salt, mustard and cayenne pepper. Pour cheese mixture over the macaroni and stir to combine. Transfer the macaroni and cheese to the baking dish.
Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and oil in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the top of the macaroni and cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, then broil for 3 minutes so the top is crisp and nicely browned.
1 cup dried chickpeas or 16 oz. can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans.
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Oil for frying
Place dried chickpeas in a bowl, covering with cold water. Allow to soak overnight. Omit this step if using canned beans.
Drain chickpeas, and place in pan with fresh water, and bring to a boil.
Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then let simmer on low for about an hour.
Drain and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
Combine chickpeas, garlic, onion, coriander, cumin, salt and pepper (to taste) in medium bowl. Add baking powder.
Mash chickpeas, ensuring to mix ingredients together. You can also combine ingredients in a food processor. You want the result to be a thick paste.
Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a ping pong ball. Slightly flatten.
Fry in 2 inches of oil until golden brown (5-7 minutes).
Serve hot.
Serving Suggestion
Falafel can be served as an appetizer with hummus and tahini, or as a main course. Stuff pita bread with falafel, lettuce, tomatoes, tahini, salt and pepper. As an alternative, falafel can be formed into patties and served like a burger.

Re: Tips on hiding veg
While searching ive came across these, going to try a few of these out myself
Won Ton Ravioli Recipe
courtesy of Gourmet Magazine
Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Easy
Yield: 12 ravioli, serving 4
For the filling:
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels
1 poblano chilies, roasted and minced or 1/4 cup minced pickled jalapeno
1/2 large red bell pepper, roasted and chopped fine
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack
For the sauce:
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 stick (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 28-ounce can plum tomato, drained and chopped coarse
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, or to taste
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh coriander
24 won ton wrapped (available at Asian markets and many supermarkets), thawed if frozen
Garnish: 4 fresh coriander sprigs
Make the filling: In a heavy skillet cook the onion in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is softened, add the corn, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until the corn is tender. Stir in the chilies, the bell pepper, and the cumin and cook the mixture, stirring, for 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool completely. Stir in the Monterey Jack and salt to taste and chill the filling, covered, for 1 hour, or until it is cold.
To make Won Ton Ravioli: Put 1 won ton wrapper on a lightly floured surface, mound 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper, and brush the edges with water. Put a second wrapper over the first, pressing down around the filling to force out the air, seal the edges well, and trim the excess dough around the filling with a decorative cutter or sharp knife. Make won ton ravioli with the remaining wrappers and filling in the same manner, transferring them as they are formed to a dry kitchen towel, and turn them occasionally to let them dry slightly.
Bring a kettle of boiling salted water to a gentle boil and in it cook the ravioli in batches for 2 minutes, or until they rise to the surface and are tender. (Do not let the water boil vigorously once the ravioli have been added). Transfer the ravioli as they are cooked with a slotted spoon to a dry kitchen towel or paper towels to drain and keep them warm. To make the sauce: In a heavy skillet cook the garlic in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, for 1 minute, add the tomatoes, and boil the mixture, stirring, for 10 minutes, or until it is thick. Stir in the lime juice, the coriander, and salt and pepper to taste and keep the sauce warm, covered, while preparing the ravioli.

Grilled Vegetable Pizza Recipe courtesy Kathleen Daelemans
Show: Cooking Live
Episode: Spa Cook Along with Kathleen Daelemans
3 1/2 cups unbleached, all purpose flour
2 packages dry active yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups lukewarm water from the tap
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
Flour for the work surface
A sprinkling of cornmeal
Store-bought Pizza dough can be used instead
2 (28-ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes
Red peppers
Portobello mushrooms
Olive oil
Salt, pepper
Dough: Place flour, yeast, salt and sugar in a mixer fitted with a dough hook. While mixer is running, gradually add water, knead on low speed until dough is firm and smooth, about 10 minutes. Turn machine off. Pour oil down inside of bowl. Turn on low once more for 15 seconds to coat inside of bowl and all surfaces of dough with the oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm spot until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours.
Sauce: Pour tomatoes into a strainer that has been fitted over a microwave proof bowl. Using your hands, crush the tomatoes. Press all juices into bowl. Set crushed tomatoes aside. Place bowl with tomato juices in microwave and cook on high until thickened to consistency of ketchup, about 20 to 25 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes to sauce. Cool to room temperature. Toppings: Slice some vegetables. Skewer onion slices to keep them together. Brush vegetable slices with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place vegetables on hot grill pan. When done, set aside. Assembly: Preheat your oven to highest setting, 500 or 550 degrees. If using a pizza stone, preheat oven 1 hour ahead. Punch dough down, cut in half. On generously floured work surface, place one half of dough. By hand, form dough loosely into a ball, stretch into a circle. Using a floured rolling pin, roll dough into large circle until very thin. Don't worry if your circle isn't perfect. If you get a hole, pinch edges back together. To prevent dough from sticking to counter, turn it over and add flour as needed. Transfer dough to pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal. Ladle tomato sauce on pizza dough. Add assorted vegetables. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden.

Re: Tips on hiding veg
Make rice paper rolls - kids love them, especially if you get them to help you.
Nigellas Rice Paper Rolls
I'll be honest with you: I had longed to make some version of these little rolls for years but either essential laziness or fear that they would be frighteningly complicated put me off. Now that I've made them, I can't quite see what I was on about. Fiddly they may be, but I think they must be one of the easiest recipes to make in the whole book. And also one of the loveliest: there is something about the light, unwheatenness of rice pasta (which in effect these sheets just are) and the bundles of fresh herbs within that make them compulsive and uplifting eating. you can, and this is how I ate them first in a Vietnamese restaurant, add some cooked prawns, and cooled, stir-fried chopped pork along with the herbs and rice vermicelli, but I can't honestly see that you need to.
You can often find the rice pancakes, or rice sheets (emphatically not rice paper) in the supermarket. If you're unlucky in this respect, you will have to track down an Asian store, which offers a gastro-reward of its own.
100 g rice vermicelli
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce
bunch fresh mint, roughly chopped
bunch fresh Thai basil, roughly chopped
half a cucumber, cut into thin batons
6 spring onions, finely sliced
12 rice pancakes
soy sauce for serving (optional)
Soak the vermicelli according to the instructions on the packet, and drain once the translucent threads are rehydrated.
Flavour the vermicelli with the rice vinegar, soy and fish sauces, and then add the chopped herbs, cucumber and spring onions. Mix gently with your hands to try to combine the noodles, herbs and vegetables.
Soak the rice pancakes (again, according to packet instructions) in a shallow bowl of hot water and then lay each one on a tea towel to pat dry. Run a fairly narrow strip of noodle mixture down the middle of the pancake, fold over one half and then carefully roll it up as tightly as you can. Slice each roll into four and then arrange them on a plate.
If you want, pour some soy sauce into a few little bowls for dipping the rolls into as you eat.
Makes 48 rolls.
Vietnamese Rice Paper Roll Recipe
10 sheets rice paper, available round or square
100g bean shoots
100g rice vermicelli (rice noodles)
1/2 red capsicum, thinly sliced
cucumber, thinly sliced
1 carrot,thinly sliced
10 cooked green prawns
1 tablespoon fresh spearmint or mint leaves
1 tablespoon fresh coriander
garlic chives or regular chives, one for each roll
Blanch the bean shoots quickly in boiling water, then plunge them into ice cold water. Drain well. Soak the vermicelli noodles in boiling water for two minutes, drain well. Soak the rice paper in warm water for 20 seconds and place on a clean towel or tea towel to absorb the excess moisture.
Tip: To make prawns straight and easier to roll in rice paper, buy green prawns, peel them and thread onto a skewer. Drop into boiling water for two minutes, let them cool and take them off the skewers.
Shred the mint and coriander leaves. Place some noodles and bean shoots and other ingredients on a piece of rice paper and roll the rice paper just enough to cover the filling. Tuck in the ends, then place a piece of prawn in the roll and continue rolling until the rice paper runs out.
Dipping Sauce Recipe
A traditional Vietnamese dipping sauce can be made to have with the rice paper rolls. Alternatively, use Hoisin sauce which is a Chinese barbecue sauce that can be served straight into a dipping bowl or diluted with water to weaken the flavour.
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
garlic, crushed (optional)
1/2 teaspoon pickled red chilli, ground (or fresh to taste)
1 tablespoon roasted peanuts, ground
Boil the water and sugar together for two minutes, then allow to cool. Mix in the lemon juice or vinegar, fish sauce, crushed garlic, pickled red chilli and nuts and serve with the rice paper rolls.

The de Courcy armour at the Tower of London, illustrated in Grose, 1786, pl. 14
Date: 1540 | Object number: II.22
|Object Provenance:
|German, Brunswick, about 1540. Tower Arsenal since at least 1625
|Object Number:
|Height as mounted:
|2070 mm
|32.6 kg (71 lb 11 oz)
The close helmet is of burgonet type, the skull with a low, roped comb, a pivoted peak with an extension underneath pierced with two sights. The lower part of the visor consists of a single falling plate with cross-shaped breaths. The double gorget plates are modern restorations. The gorget comprises a main plate front and rear with three lames above.
The breastplate is globose with a medial ridge, shaped to a central point. The neck and gusset edges have strongly roped inward turns. It is pierced for a lance rest. The fauld is of three lames, and single plate tassets are attached by straps and buckles. The backplate has a culet of four lames.
The arm defences comprise full pauldrons, both fitted with upright haut pieces, the right pauldron's mainplate has a cut-out at the front for the lance. The small articulating lames below the main plates are restorations. The upper cannons have turners, and are attached to large bracelet couters and lower cannons. The gauntlets are of mitten type.
The cuisses are articulated twice at the top. The greaves reach the bottom of the foot and are pierced at the rear for spurs. The lower part of the right is restored, as are both the broad toed sabatons.
All elements are embossed with a border of overlapping roundels etched alternatively with rosettes and flamboyant rays, and are also etched with bands of scrollwork and foliage. The band in the centre of the backplate incorporates a heart-shaped cartouche bearing the monogram AB for the etcher. The tassets are embossed with central crosses lozengy. Etched AB for the etcher.
This once fine armour has been in the Armouries since at least the 17th century. In Fordaine and Schonbul's Travels of 1625-8 it is described as the armour of John of Gaunt, an attribution it retained until the reorganisation of the Tower displays by Meyrick in 1826-27.
In the 1660 Inventory it is described as 'a large white armour cap-a-pe, said to be John of Gaunt's'. The carved wooden head of John of Gaunt which was displayed with the armour is illustrated in Borg 1976: 326, pl. LXXVIIb.
There is a tradition that the armour was issued and worn in the Lord Mayor's Show in the 18th and early 19th centuries. This could account for its severely over-cleaned condition, and some of the more modern repair work and restoration. Mann (1932: 27-31 first suggested the Brunswick attribution for the armour.
Dr A von Rohr of the Landesmuseum, Hanover, suggested the initials AB might belong to Bonaventura Abt, a painter working in Brunswick 1525-52. He worked for the town and for Prince Heinrich the Younger, who had his residence at Wolfenbuttel (once known for a tournament), and in 1535 is recorded as 'painting' an armour.
There are two other giant armours from Schloss Blankenburg, no 4 dated 1549 (R Bohlmann, 'Die Braunsweigischen Waffen aus Schloss Blankenburg am Harz', ZHWK 6 heft 10, 1912-14: 335-64) and another almost identical but fragmentary harness (Mann 1932 abb. 3-4). Mann identified a series of armours with overlapping embossed circles etched with the rosette and flame design, including a late 'Maximilian' armour from the Tower, II.11, another formerly in the Berlin Zeughaus (abb. 7-8) and the couters of another in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, formerly in the Riggs and Spitzer collections.

(...) there are far fewer medical rounds being conducted for second year students than the administration would like.
The only way to learn in medicine is by doing, and these cuts are threatening to produce medical professionals that are not adequately trained.
so med students from LSU will be less competitive when applying for residency?
residency programs will look unfavorably upon the students coming from lsu because they know they have less experience?
Only in recent years have students even set foot inside the hospital, much less participate on rounds.
A prominent surgery professor is keen about saying "the OR is the last place you should be learning how to do a procedure." i.e. know your shite before you set foot in the OR. Nothing will ever replace getting blood on your gloves from a learning standpoint, but it's definitely not the only way ot learn and should be the last step in learning something. As an example, did you learn how to tie knots in the OR with a patient sitting there with an open abdomen? No, you learn knot tying outside of the OR and you perfect it there, then you show it off in the OR once it's honed.
The big risk is LSU School of Medicine losing its accreditation. My hope is that the administration will not let that happen, but there is a limit to how much the system can withstand in such a short amount of time.
That is a possibility. The big risk is LSU School of Medicine losing its accreditation. My hope is that the administration will not let that happen, but there is a limit to how much the system can withstand in such a short amount of time.
Medical students cannot simply transfer medical schools. I am not really sure what would happen if your school loses accreditation in the middle of your education, as it is pretty unprecedented. But it would essentially entail $100,000 and 3 years of your life invested in learning a ridiculous amount of information all for a worthless diploma from a defunct institution.

You have no idea what you are talking about.
If you are referring to 2nd year medical students only, it may be a relatively recent trend, but is still widely accepted and LSU is far behind the curve relative to other medical schools.

dude sorry your parents made more choices, i really am, but its not my problem. im not asking people to make good decisions when they are 14-15 but by the time they are 18 everybody should realize what choices should be made to help them. Listen im not mad people are poor, there will always be poor, but most are there due to bad decisions both as a teenager and as an adult. In the end its none of my business though and I could care less I just dont want to have to give them my money that I work for. They didnt work for it, I did. I guess im an a-hole for asking everybody to pay for their own shelter, their health, their own food, their own everything. I know its a novel concept but personal responsibility is the direction this country needs to go in.
ER-2. The present and anticipated financial resources of a medical education program must be adequate to sustain a sound program of medical education and to accomplish other programmatic and institutional goals.
ER-6. A medical education program must have, or be assured the use of, appropriate resources for the clinical instruction of its medical students.
ER-7. Each hospital or other clinical facility of a medical education program that serves as a major instructional site for medical student education must have appropriate instructional facilities and information resources.
Edit: And yes, I instantly assumed you were an idiot when you said, "Only in recent years have students even set foot inside the hospital"
Second years are currently required to join rounds in the hospital.
I hear many assurances that it is a worst case scenario, but I have heard many empty assurances over the past four years.
but I think some fear is warranted for someone who is just starting out and has spent HIS entire undergraduate career hearing news of budget cuts and cannot help but imagine an apparent future with more of the same.
No for-profit chain wants to touch any hospital that has a majority of Caid patients.
Not sure what hopsital you work at, but where I work, we make a nice margin on Caid NICU babies, in fact we are always looking how to drive that business to our facilities.
Its ok you don't understand. You were born on the 3rd base, people like you cry the loudest when you finally get smacked with some real adversity.
But for now you can continue spouting off your "personal responsibility/I can't pay taxes because I gots to buy a new shoe" mantra. Good thing most of the humane race has evolved past that thought.
congrats on being a statiest and believing in state sponsored theft. really....congrats on that.

A study presented at a conference of the American Heart Association associated a person's blood type with stroke risk. People who whose blood type is O, the most common blood type, are said to be less likely to suffer from a stroke when compared against people whose blood type is AB, and women whose blood type is B.
Dr. JoAnn Manson, chief of preventive medicine at Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital and one of the leaders of the study, said: "There's increasing evidence that blood type might influence risk of chronic disease… It's not at the level where we want to alarm people and we want to make that clear. But it's one more element of risk that people would want to know about, and it could give them one more reason to keep blood pressure and cholesterol in line.â€
The study, led by Dr. Lu Qi of Brigham and Women's Hospital, involved an analysis of data from 90,000 men and women, who participated in two observational health studies that spanned a period of more than 20 years.
The researchers found that in the 2,901 strokes that occurred among the study participants, people whose blood type was AB had 26 percent increased risk of suffering from a stroke, when compared against people whose blood type was O. In addition, women whose blood type was B had 15 percent increased risk of suffering from a stroke, when compared against people whose blood type was O.

Gardner is a school in Los Altos Hills, California. The kids that go to it are hella rich and have like trillion dollar houses. The teachers are pretty much bipolar and know nothing about teaching. The classrooms are falling apart. The principle tries to act cool by wearing shape ups everywhere. She has no control of the students what so ever. The teachers switch out every year because they don't have enough money for them. The P.E. teacher goes crazy sometimes and just ignores the students while he sits on his "Swedish chair". You can't understand the digital arts teacher, the drama teacher has no butt, and the art teacher is a hippie. To top it all of all the kids are not athletic and they lose in the junior olympics every single year.

I use the mat. It works well for me. Do what works for you. If it works for you to use the mat, you don't need to change.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I use the mat. It works well for me. Do what works for you. If it works for you to use the mat, you don't need to change.
My rotary cutting class we were taught using mats with no lines and to use the double ruler to get the fold line straight. I use the mat line for extra wide cuts.
Got fabric?
I use both
Brother XL-3500i, SQ-9050, Dreamweaver XE6200D, Juki MO-2000QVP
I agree with DogHouseMom -- I have a couple of rulers I use, for cutting, measuring and squaring up. I don't use the lines on the mat much except for estimating fabric, and occasionally I'll just do the top cut to get it straight to cut from there.
OK, so where is the link showing us how to do it?
Dreams Do Come True
Good friends are like quilts - they age with you, yet never lose their warmth.
I first learned to rotary cut when it was new. I learned to use the mat! Then I learned to use the ruler. Now I do both!
I would like to know the link also showing how to do this. Thank you.
I also as #3 would like to know the link to show how to do this. I use my ruler and mat and I have had quilters say "don't use the mat. I still don't get it?
Asking a seamstress to mend is like asking Picasso to paint your garage.
I am with #18 and the rest...I thought that using the mat was the way to cut! If someone could repost the link that would be great!
If QuiltnNan edited out the link, then you're out of luck. There must have been a commercial ad or something that wasn't appropriate to the forum.

I made some candles in 8 oz. tins using pre-tabbed 2/0 wicks.
The first problem was that no matter how slow I cooled them, they cracked down the middle. I got around this by doing a second pour and filling in the crack. Is there a way to avoid the crack in the first place?
Second problem was that when burned, they burned a ping pong ball sized hole straight down leaving about an inch of wax around the sides. Do I need a different wick?
Any advice will be appreciated.

Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar at UFC 136: Dissecting Striking Concepts in MMA
- Written by Dave Walsh
The sport of Mixed Martial Arts began as a concept that pit practitioners of different forms of martial arts against each other. Eventually in the United States, this led to fighters starting to cross-train in other forms of martial arts to help defend against certain techniques or simply add it to their repertoire. The UFC and MMA have grown a lot from the early UFC events (we aren't going to touch Japan, different beast entirely), to where MMA has almost become a style of its own, just as it has become a sport of its own.
At UFC 136 there were two championship fights, and both showed different displays of striking prowess, with one fight ending in a decision and one fight ending in a knockout. What I find interesting to take away from the event is how Dana White was quick to declare Frankie Edgar as the best "Boxer" in the UFC and how quickly fans and media followed suit, with many declaring Frankie one of the elite strikers in the MMA world. I have to admit that I was taken aback, as after watching the Jose Aldo fight and how it was an impressive display of striking, I did not feel the same thing about the Edgar fight. The only difference to the naked eye was that the Edgar fight finished with a knockout, while Aldo took Florian to a decision.
What needs to be established first and foremost is that knockouts happen in combat sports, and a knockout does not always mean a superior display of "striking." Fighters like Joey Beltran and Leonard Garcia are fighters who primarily like to strike in their recent fights and put on strike-heavy fights at UFC 136, but I'm not sure I'd rate either as a very good striker. Beltran holds eleven wins by knockout and Garcia has three, and both men are quick to turn fights into brawls that showcase a lot of heart and wild punches, but that does not make for a good striker, and I feel like many understand this concept in these scenarios. People like watching Leonard Garcia fight, but not many will say he is a great technical striker.
What needs to be established next is that "Boxing," "Muay Thai" and "Kickboxing" are not lone attributes in a fighter's toolbox. They are not videogame-like attributes that are assigned and can simply be explained as, "they have good Boxing." Many have been lauding over Frankie Edgar's boxing skills through simple phrases like, "Frankie Edgar's Boxing is Great," or "Frankie Edgar has the best Boxing in MMA."
Boxing, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Judo and everything else in the MMA universe are sports and styles unto themselves, and include many, many facets to them. Frankie Edgar knows how to move out of harm's way and not get hit and he also has very sound technique when it comes to throwing his strikes. On the other side of the coin, he drops his left hand a lot or doesn't keep it in tight near his chest to defend his chin, leaving him open to take damage from time to time, while his head is also mostly stationary. Another thing to note is that he also tends to focus on the head when he strikes, rarely changing levels.
Continue Reading....
A good example that many people can relate to is in the film "The Fighter" where Mark Wahlberg portrays legendary boxer Mickey Ward, the scene where he breaks down one of his favorite strategies to Charlene at the bar; "Head, Body, Head, Body." He explains the tactic as not only a damaging one, but one that confuses the opponent and makes them always moving their guard, thus making it easier to find or create an opening to land a more powerful shot.
So when I hear that Frankie Edgar is the best "Boxer" in the UFC, my confusion should be clear. There are some boxing skills and techniques that Edgar does extremely well, while there are others that he quite simply under-utilizes or is not good at, such as changing levels or piecing together more complex combinations and of course, defending and moving his head.
Jose Aldo is a different story. The fight with Florian took a fighter who was being spoken about on the mythical "Pound for Pound list" that Dana White will reference, to a fighter that many found themselves doubting if he belongs on said list. It has little to do with skill, technique or even performance, but that he never found the right opening to knock his last two opponent's out. Aldo lost his "pound for pound" spot and the discussion about his title fight with Kenny Florian has been quiet and dismissive by many of the fans and media.
Dana White went as far as to say he'd like to see Frankie Edgar move down to fight Jose Aldo for the Featherweight Championship, which is a switch stance from when all of the talk surrounding Aldo was about him being unstoppable and possibly moving up to Lightweight to challenge for that title.
Kenny Florian is no joke of a fighter, and possesses a lot of strong skills in the stand up department as well as good skills to work with on the ground. Aldo did not rush out and go for a quick knockout over Florian, as Florian is a step up in competition from fighters like Chris Mickle and Cub Swanson in the WEC. Rushing in against Florian could possibly leave a fatal opening for Florian to do some damage with, which Aldo does not want to test. On top of that, Florian began aggressive looking for takedowns on the champion, pushing the pace early on.
The mark of a good champion is adjusting a game plan to suit the conditions in the ring, which meant Aldo saw one of Florian's most useful tools being his lead leg and began to hack away at it with his much vaunted leg kicks. The same leg kicks that left Urijah Faber hobbling and unable to mount anything in the way of offense, that is what he threw at Florian. Then, like any sound strategist and intelligent striker, Aldo got into a rhythm and began throwing the leg kicks in a series. On top of doing damage, he was lulling Florian into trying to find a way to counter the series of leg kicks. This led to Aldo having done enough damage to where when he landed a lone leg kick as Florian was moving to defend it, dropping his hands and widening his stance to brace for it and causing him to buckle. As soon as he buckled Aldo was waiting for him with a left hook followed by a right cross, both of which connected and sent Florian reeling.
That illustrates a great, intelligent combination of strikes that utilizes changing levels and using a striking rhythm to set up that combination. Aldo continued to pull off similar combinations, such as using feints to throw Florian off and come around the other side, using a jab while stepping back to keep Florian at bay for a high kick, using misdirection with punches such as throwing what looked to be a body shot but changed trajectory and landed flush on Florian's chin, and my favorite of using a right flying knee to get Florian to back up and lower his defenses before landing a right hand on Florian.
On top of that, the damage he did to the lead leg meant that Florian had a hard time landing takedowns and Aldo was able to reverse some and end up on top of Florian or keep the fight standing. All of this I found impressive and a striking display unlike you are bound to see in just about any other UFC fight, and while Frankie Edgar pulled off an impressive knockout victory, in the end the knockout wasn't going to sway me on what was the more impressive display of striking skills.
Jose Aldo had an impressive display, but I'd also be hard pressed to say, "Jose Aldo has great Muay Thai/Kickboxing" because it was not a Muay Thai or Kickboxing fight and his striking skills are all very different and independent from each other. The sport of MMA is how you tie everything together to be a complete fighter, so unless there is another fighter who comes into the UFC with a lone discipline skillset, I'd like to see the "this fighter has awesome ____" talking point retired or at least reflected upon more.
I'd also like for the fans and members of the media to do some critical thinking of their own. Dana White's job is to sell his fighters as the best in the world, including ones like Frankie Edgar who are not likely to be doing big PPV buyrates and build the illusion for fans. Just because Dana White declares a fighter in a certain position or possessing of a certain skill does not mean that you cannot question it or at least reflect on it and come to your own conclusion.

2009 Mr Wong's Laundromat can make you money too
GTA: Chinatown Wars - General News | @ 06:08 PM MDT | By Neil
If you're a regular visitor to the Rockstar Games Social Club, you've probably noticed the little teaser images promoting Mr. Wong's Laundromat, a feature which is still said to be "coming soon" to the site. Until today, what it was remained a mystery.
However, MTV's Steven Totilo has uncovered a description of precisely what it's going to be, and it's probably not what you were expecting. Apparently, the site will be getting a new Flash game which you can play to generate cash which can then be spent in GTA: Chinatown Wars.
The description comes from a (now removed) page about the Gamespy technology powering the feature:
"Once at the Rockstar Social Club, registered users can also play Flash games like Mr Wong's Laundromat to unlock additional cash that can be spent back in the game. GameSpy's custom work links money earned out of game straight back into your in-game funds to spend on bigger guns and more ammo (and you can never have enough of that)."PlanetGTA, the fansite operated by Gamespy's parent company IGN, is also unusually devoid of details about potential new Social Club features. When the new online game will launch is still unknown.

Elizabeth Jennings 1926–2001
(Full name Elizabeth Joan Jennings) British poet and essayist.
The following entry provides an overview of Jennings's career through 1998. For further information on her life and works, see CLC, Volumes 5 and 14.
Jennings is a highly regarded British poet whose lengthy career has been typified by the steady publication of critically acclaimed poetry on such subjects as religion, mental illness, and childhood. She is best known for her membership in "The Movement," a group of poets and writers who achieved fame in the postwar period for their rejection of pretentiousness and decoration and their call for simplicity in literature. Jennings is known for her subtle, yet skillful, use of language and a strong interest in form that has sparked comparisons with Christina Rossetti, Edwin Muir and Robert Frost.
Biographical Information
The daughter of a physician, Jennings was born in 1926 in Lincolnshire, England. She attended private Catholic school before transferring to and graduating from Oxford High School. As a teenager, she discovered a passion for classic poetry when she was introduced to G. K. Chesterton's poem "Lepanto." She began to compose her own verse, exhibiting traits that would remain with her throughout her career: simple language, an interest in form, and the use of rhyme and meter. She graduated from St. Anne's College, Oxford, in 1949 earning an M.A. with honors in English. While at university, Jennings achieved success as a writer, publishing in Oxford Poetry in 1948 and 1949, as well as meeting and befriending writers such as Kingsley Amis, Philip Larkin, and Thom Gunn. Nine of these writers formed "The Movement." Scholars have noted that Jennings differed from the rest of the writers as the only woman and devout Catholic. Nonetheless, Jennings writes that she felt a close compatability and common purpose among the members. After graduating, she worked for a short time in the advertising business, which she credits for tightening her writing. She served as a librarian at the Oxford City Library from 1950 to 1958 where she maintained close contact with Oxford students such as Donald Hall. In 1953, Fantasy Press published a small volume of her poems; it was the press's first poetry collection. She earned an Arts Council award for it, increasing her critical attention and approval. Jennings's subsequent travels in Italy and her battle with mental illness, for which she was institutionalized several times in the 1960s, are prominent subjects in her poetry. During the last four decades she has published numerous collections of poetry, earned praise for her children's poetry and essays on poetics, and edited volumes of verse.
Major Works
Critics note that there is a strong strain of continuity in Jennings's poetry, both in regard to form and subject matter. Jennings established her voice in her youth and has not deviated from it greatly throughout her career. In common with the other members of "The Movement," Jennings writes simply and directly without academic pretense or heavy adornment. In her early writing she employed set forms, regular meter, rhyme, and preferred iambic pattern. However, as her career progresses, she primarily uses free verse and unrhymed poetry. Most of her poems are written in a few short stanzas; rarely does her poetry exceed one page. She favors startling line breaks, gaining impact by beginning a line with a strong verb. Throughout her career, Jennings has written about personal subjects, although she is not an autobiographical poet. Much of her work is about religion, particularly Catholicism, and her struggles with faith. In Recoveries: Poems (1964) and The Mind Has Mountains (1966), she considers her own mental illness and institutionalization. In addition, she composed several books of children's poetry, such as her well received collection Let's Have Some Poetry! (1960.)
Critical Reception
From the beginning of her career at Oxford in the 1940s, Jennings has enjoyed critical approval. Looking for new and mature verse, Kingsley Amis included six of Jennings's poems in the 1949 edition of Oxford Poetry. In critiques of her early books, reviewers praise her lucid, simple language, citing her as a strong voice and a poet to watch. She received almost universal praise for her two collections of poetry Collected Poems (1967) and Selected Poems (1979), which provide an overview of her career. However, critics have found fault with Jennings too. Commenting on her collection In the Meantime (1996), Clive Wilmer remarks that "(s)he has been prolific without interruption, but the quality of her writing from book to book is strikingly uneven." Other reviewers state that at times her poetry is too coy, her language wooden and uninspiring, that she fails to make connections, and that her work lacks energy. The most common criticism is that Jennings fails to vary her work enough, that her poetry is too similar. However, scholars agree that much of Jennings's poetry is first rate. Samuel French Morse praises her lack of pretension, the freshness of her language, and the high quality of her devotional poetry in Song for a Birth or a Death and Other Poems (1961). Robert Sheppard argues that she is the least well-known, but the best in quality, of "The Movement" writers.

[In the following excerpt, Gregory praises Jennings for her unique and strong voice.]
The recent Zeitgeist in American culture is of suburban colors, manners, dress. Those who are currently publishing verse are affected by its daily habits and ambitions, and more than a few have mistaken its presence for a visitation of the Muse. The importance of the suburban Zeitgeist may not be enduring, but since the end of the Korean War, its influence has spread cross-country from the suburbs of Boston to the state of Washington, far beyond the toll-gates of large...

[In the review below, Heath-Stubbs argues that Jennings is not disciplined enough in her writing and produces work with a flat, muted tone.]
Miss Jennings's work has received so much praise from those whose judgment one must respect, that one hesitates to dissent. One recognises the sensibility and the intelligence, but there is a curiously muted quality about her poetry. It is as if one was listening to someone murmuring to themselves in their sleep. Granted that this is, in Mr. Eliot's phrase, essentially poetry overheard rather than heard, yet one longs for her...

[In the following review, Skelton argues that Jennings's penchant for simplifying and her coy tone weaken an otherwise admirable work.]
The annual P.E.N. Anthology of New Poems usually contrives to achieve a high level of competence without being in the least exciting, and the latest in the series is no exception to the rule. There are 64 poems by 51 contributors, and, if one ignores the presence of Edith Sitwell's ridiculous and pretentious La Bella Bona Roba, one could fairly say that every poem deserves its place.

[In the following excerpt, Morse praises the quality and content of Jennings's poetry, arguing that she is gaining authority in her work.]
For the poets of the fifties and after, the veterans of the thirties as Donald Davie calls them, were concerned with "agonies" that have become "highbrow thrillers, though historical", and their feats are "quite strictly fabulous." "And yet," he adds, "it may be better, if we must,/ To find the stance impressive and absurd/Than not to see the hero for the dust." Davie's own poems do not disguise their...

[In the review below, Clayre argues that these experimental poems do not reflect Jennings's skill or her voice.]
Miss Elizabeth Jennings, in The Mind has Mountains, takes the reader through an English mental hospital, after her attempted suicide. These poems keep close to a single consciousness, which we see re-establishing, in alien territory, the unassuming, observant kindness of its everyday life. The poems are compassionate. In certain lines we can hear Miss Jennings' voice:
There should be peace for gentle ones, not pain

SOURCE: Review of The Animals' Arrival, in Poetry, Vol. CXVIII, No. 2, May, 1971, pp. 110-11.
[In the following review, Mott contends that Jennings exhibits power and bravery in her work.]
Elizabeth Jennings has been accused at times of quietness, if not tameness, but it would be grossly unfair to accuse the poet of The Animals' Arrival of any such thing. Like Abse's recent poems, if these are not shrill, they are bravely concerned with harrowing experience and a still more harrowing vision of it:
My inward needs and fears still stir and grow Into a hideous and nightmare form.

[In the review below, Lucas finds fault with Extending the Territory, arguing that the poetry is vapid, the language unvaried, and the subject matter uninteresting.]
With Elizabeth Jennings's Extending the Territory we are, I fear, back with the kinds of experiences which ask to be taken on trust. 'But six years of my childhood are precise', she says in 'An Absolute', and goes on: 'I see the berries // On bushes as imperial as music, / Poised as poetry'.

SOURCE: Review of Collected Poems, 1953-1985, in Choice, December, 1986, p. 625.
[In the following review, Brophy outlines Jennings's importance as a poet.]
Jennings is an original member of the British literary movement disarmingly called "The Movement," which appeared in the early 1950s in part as reaction to what its founders thought were the excesses of Dylan Thomas and his romantic ilk. Philip Larkin was the best known group member; to readers in the US, Jennings was and remains the least familiar member. This collection is not a "Complete Poems," but a selection by the poet of all the work she wishes to preserve from her 17 books that have appeared...

Sandra M. Gilbert (review date May 1987)
SOURCE: Review of Collected Poems, in Poetry, Vol. CL, No. 2, May, 1987, pp. 106-09.
[In the review below, Gilbert argues that while Jennings's culture is foreign to Americans, her work is of great merit and importance.]
Though she not only thinks about the significance of history but, as one of Britain's more important recent poets, she has a significant personal and literary history, Elizabeth Jennings hardly seems to inhabit the same language, much less the same world, as the one in which Caroline Finkelstein and Lynda Hull dwell. Indeed, the Atlantic that divides the lives and works of these writers seems not only miles but centuries wide, a gulf in...

[In the following review, Sheppard compares Jennings's career with fellow Movement members, contending that her work exudes greater seriousness and mysticism.]
The poetry of the Movement orthodoxy won't go away: Larkin's death clearly wasn't the end of it. Indeed, in some of these recent books, Larkin is an excuse for pious, elegaic production by some of his followers. They mourn him, rightly, as a more consummate poet. 'I do not want him to be dead!' pleads Vernon Scannell, as if the whole thing might not function without Larkin. But, obviously, it...

[In the following review of Tributes, Maxwell praises Jennings's subtle use of simile and her successful use of form.]
This is a craftswoman working, so watch the vowels;
It is not only great stars or the sun I owe so many debts to. I now state A poet here, a painter there, a place That's altered all I do. So I relate My debt and give back what I've taken, grace.
Lyric poets, if honest and well practised, know enough to let the sounds run towards them and gather. Elizabeth Jennings is here writing a poetry of A's, with all...

[In the following review, Sail cautions that Jennings risks bordering on mannerism in some of her work but proclaims that she is one of the greatest poets at capturing childhood.]
Like Roy Fuller, Elizabeth Jennings knows the strength of 'energy leashed in', as she writes in one of the poems in Tributes. This new collection continues the reflective notes of her Collected Poems, sustaining a meditation on the nature of poetry and the other arts, especially music, and on love, faith, joy, sorrow, friendship, childhood and the passage of time. The preoccupation...

[In the excerpt below, Bradley provides an overview of Jennings's career, placing her work in the context of other Movement writers.]
Elizabeth Jennings is unique in two particular ways: she is the Movement's only woman and its only Catholic. Born Elizabeth Joan Jennings in Boston, Lincolnshire, on 18 July 1926, she was the daughter of Henry Cecil Jennings, a physician. As a teenager she studied poetry in school and was swept up by G. K. Chesterton's battle poem "Lepanto." She wrote an essay on the work and soon was eagerly studying the great...

[In the following review of Times and Seasons, Eaves discusses Jennings's use of time, form, and language.]
Time is a continual, if not quite perpetual, worry for Elizabeth Jennings. At its crudest, it represents distance from God—a mechanical, clockwork intrusion into the Garden. At its best, as she refers to it in a poem from her collection, Extending the Territory (1985), it is an elemental art that "moves within / The discourse of the learned heart". But while the second condition is clearly the one to which her poetry aspires, the combination of...

[In the following review, O'Neill argues that although there is a repetitive quality to Jennings''s work, her writing deserves praise.]
At one stage in Praises, Elizabeth Jennings asserts, "Stars are a bright simplicity", reaffirming her affinity with Henry Vaughan for whom "Stars are of mighty use". The points of likeness and difference between the twentieth-century Catholic poet and the Metaphysical mystic are fascinating. Like Vaughan, Jennings values intimations of "An unfallen world". Unlike him, she is "not after visions or prayers"....

Interlocking metal roofing panels are expensive, but they're DIY—friendly, they look great, and they'll last 50 years or more. Get an overview of installation and costs.
Metal roofing can be a DIY project if you're comfortable working with metal.
Metal roofing systems that you can install yourself are readily available, but you need to feel comfortable working with metal (and you'll pay a pretty steep price). The only specialty tool you'll need is a locking sheet metal tool (available at roofing suppliers or online).
Metal roofs are fire resistant (you may earn a discount on your homeowner's insurance), they look nice (which can improve curb appeal), and melting snow easily slides off (which eliminates the extra weight on the roof).
Edco (shown in the photo; edcoproducts.com) and Tamko (tamko.com) both make interlocking metal roofing panels that are installed with clips and roofing nails. The systems have specially designed starter strips, valleys, gable trim flashing and flashing for dormers, chimneys and skylights. Each panel interlocks with the underlying and adjacent panels or with the flashing. Manufacturers say the most common question homeowners have concerns noise. Don't worry; rain hitting the metal roof won't be noticeably louder than rain on an asphalt roof.
Metal roofs cost about $250 per square (1 square = 100 s.f.). If you do it yourself, the average roof would cost about $4,000, significantly less than hiring a contractor to install three-tab shingles. And while the price of materials is six times as much as low-end three-tab asphalt shingles (which start at $35 to $40 per square), metal roofs last 50 years or more, so you won't have to worry about reroofing. Metal roofs can be special ordered in a variety of colors at lumberyards and roof supply companies.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
You'll also need roof jacks, a roofing harness and a locking sheet metal tool.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.


text: You are well into the second trimester of your pregnancy duration, in forthcoming days the movement of the baby can be felt, and it brings a lot of happiness into you. Initially you may feel flutter and soon you are going to feel the hiccups and kicks. Soreness in the abdomen increases as your child gets bigger; your breast is slowly getting ready for producing milk for your baby. You may experience changes in mood, headaches, and dizziness at this stage mainly due to continuous pulsing of pregnancy harmones into your system to direct baby growth.

For myself: I source survivors, don't treat or manipulate, and don't feed. I only propagate - from the best. So my bees _are_ survivors in every sense.
One of the things I aim to do is carefully support, and definiately don't downgrade, my local breeding pool. I want feral bees around me, sending their genes inward, and I want to be able to think I understand their needs. So my bees are selected to be strong (which I think benefits the ferals) and to carry no impeding traits. They know when to build, when to raise winter bees and when to store. They are local bees tuning themselves constantly to local conditions. I haven't yet felt the need to select for temperament or quietness on the frames. (I worry - probably foolishly - that gentle bees might be more prone to robbing)

Round 1 - Coby Fleener, TE - Stanford
This kid is perfect fit for our offense. Great size, superb hands and speed. Abover average blocker.
Round 2 - Andre Branch, DE - Clemson
Great in pursuit. With the Osi situation up in the air, the Giants cannot afford to neglect the DE position.
Round 3 - AJ Jenkins, WR - Illinois
Super productive receiver. Actually reminds me a lot of MM. Could be good in return game and provide pressure on JJ.
Round 4(a) - Jaye Howard, DT - Florida
Howard is one of my favorite players in this draft. His stock is rising and rightfully so. All the big names on Florida's defense got the hype, but this kid just produced.
Round 4(b) - Bernard Pierce, RB - Temple
RB is definately an area to address, but I think the Giants like Scott and to bring a ultra productive guy like Pierce can only help the position's depth.
Round 6 - Desmond Wynn, OG - Rutgers
Another guy I really like in this draft. Versitile player that can play OG/C. Giants like versitility on the line and this kid provides it.
Round 7 - Coty Sensabaugh, CB - Clemson
Smooth. He looked good at the combine and could be a steal in the late rounds.

Hives still have ample supply of food, and it has been a very very mild winter. Bees are clustered and very DEAD. The hives seem to be strong going into fall

BBRY Spikes: Cerberus, Other Investors Interested in Buyout, Says DJ
Shares of BlackBerry (BBRY) have jumped out of negative territory this afternoon, rising 8 cents, or 2.5%, at $8, following a story this afternoon by The Wall Street Journal's Sharon Terlep and Dana Cimilluca stating the effort to take the company private at $9 per share, led by Fairfax Financial Holding, has drawn interest from Cerberus Capital Management LP and at least one other investor, citing multiple unnamed sources.
"Cerberus is aiming to sign a confidentiality agreement with BlackBerry that would allow it to access the company's private financial information," the authors write.
"The private-equity firm may well opt against pursuing a bid," they add.
The article says founder and one-time co-CEO Mike Lazaridis is also still working on his own bid for the company:
BlackBerry co-founder Mike Lazaridis, who is no longer with the company but according to recent disclosures held a 5.7% stake, is also contemplating a bid, a person familiar with the matter said. Mr. Lazaridis has previously held talks to join the Fairfax group and still may do so, this person said. Neither BlackBerry, Mr. Lazaridis nor Fairfax was immediately available for comment Wednesday.
The buy-out offer has drawn intense skepticism from the Street since it was announced a week ago Monday, with many expressing the view Fairfax would have a hard time coming up with the $4.7 billion deal financing.

Louise Bourgeois 1911-2010
21 Jun 2013 - 11 Aug 2013
Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, Toronto
The art world recently said goodbye to Louise Bourgeois, who passed away on 31 May 2010 at the age of 98. Her extraordinary career influenced many of the twentieth century's major movements in art and culture, from Surrealism to Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism and Conceptualism to feminism.
The exhibition Louise Bourgeois 1911–2010 brings together works from Bourgeois's early creative endeavours in New York and some of her final artistic statements. Drawing on the NGC's significant holdings and supplemented by loans from the Louise Bourgeois Trust, the presentation is inspired by her first solo show at New York's Peridot Gallery in 1949–50, in which she introduced her now iconic wood and metal "personage" sculptures. Bourgeois created these totemic spires as remembrances of friends and family left behind when she immigrated to New York City in 1938 with her husband, the late art historian Robert Goldwater.
Also included in the exhibition is Cell (The Last Climb), 2008, a significant recent installation by the artist constructed around the spiral staircase from Bourgeois's former Brooklyn studio, enclosed within a rust-sheened structure dotted with celestial blue glass spheres that appear to rise toward the sky. The work is a compelling ode to a life lived by one of the past century's most remarkable creative minds.

If you walk through a high-performing agile team space, you'll hear a buzz about the product:
"Do you see this?"
"Bump that."
"Ah ha!"
"Tell me more about what you want."
"But that is part of the acceptance criteria."
"We should do it this way."
What you won't hear is just as telling, especially on a not-so-high-performing team. Sometimes, you have to see the sideways glances and grimaces to know that things are not working well interpersonally. And, if things are not working well between people, then they also will not work well in the product. Conway's Law (paraphrased: "The product architecture reflects the team's architecture") proves that.
In traditional team cultures, feedback has been the sole responsibility of the manager. On agile teams, it's more important for feedback to be peer to peer, because the manager doesn't know the minute-by-minute details of what's going on within the team.
What if it were not only the sole responsibility of managers but also of the team itself to provide guidance for an individual's growth? Building feedback into the culture creates a team with members who have a stronger sense of responsibility for one another. They will self-correct interpersonal and work-quality issues better and faster than a traditional team.

Emergency response brochure distributed on UTSA campuses
By Donovan Agans
Director of Business Continuity and Emergency Management,
(July 3, 2009)--UTSA Police Department staffers have begun placing the new UTSA Community Emergency Response Guide across the Tri-Campus community and plan to complete the project by the start of the fall semester. The brochure was developed as an informational tool for students, faculty, staff and visitors in case of an emergency.
The guide deals with protective actions that should be taken during emergencies such as active shooter, suspicious mail, tornadoes, hazardous materials and medical emergencies and also provides emergency contact phone numbers.
>> Read the UTSA Community Emergency Response Guide at the UTSA Police Department Web site.
The emergency response guide project was coordinated by the UTSA Office of Business Continuity and Emergency Management with the help of a collaborative team of staff members from the UTSA Police Department; Office of Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management; Student Health and Counseling Services; Office of Facilities; and campus floor captain safety liaisons. Production of the guide was financed through a grant awarded by the University of Texas System.

Boys run through clothes like no others. It seems as if you're replacing basics such as underwear, socks and t-shirts every month – and get a bit of a break every couple of months before it's time to buy new jeans, trousers, shorts and shoes.
If you have multiple boys in the house, hand-me-downs can be an answer. However, given the way boys quickly wear out their clothes, you may be lucky to get a shirt or two out of the deal. This is where Bealls comes in. Whether online or in our stores, you can find high-quality, brand name boys' clothing that won't break the budget.
Here are some ways to get the most out of buying boy's clothes:

RD1: Dont'a Hightower (ILB)- I was JUST about to give up on him and put DT or DE here... Then the Giants had a meeting with him and got my hopes back up.
RD2: Bobbie Massie (OT)
RD3: Cam Johnson (DE)
RD4: Vick Ballard (RB)
RD4: Tommy Streeter (WR)
RD6: Ryan Miller or Ronald Leary (OG) or Cliff Harris (CB)
RD7: Jerron McMillian (S) or Bryce Brown (RB)
Eh. Just throwin something out to pass time. I'm going to do one soon that won't have Hightower.. using my first pick for a guy I don't expect to actually be there really throws off the rest of my picks. Cam Johnson probably won't actually be there at 3 either.

My husband is red/green color-blind. He has an uncanny way of "filtering" colors and can match things, such as curtains to the paint color in the room.

My husband is red/green color-blind. He has an uncanny way of "filtering" colors and can match things, such as curtains to the paint color in the room.
My dad was color blind and my oldest son is also color blind. We didn't really notice until he was older, like around 10 or 11. He sees shades not color. I used to think how sad, but he doesn't seem to mind so much. I guess you don't miss what you never had.
When our oldest daughter was having eyes tested she wasn't able to read the part of the test that had to do with colored numbers in a background of another color and I just couldn't believe it. I stood behind her and looked at the page and it was so obvious to me - but the Dr. said it does happen to females but just not as often as men.
I have trouble making out the numbers for the red/green, but it is not too bad. Not sure if it is a 7 or a 2 for example. My husband who is not color blind often disagrees with me as far as what color things are so aware that I have a slight problem. My son is color blind so know that I am a carrier. The advantage to being color blind for men is that can see movement or patterns better and is an advantage when it comes to hunting. I can pick out a deer in the woods rather well because it helps me to see patterns. I often ask my husband for input on matching colors for a quilt and sometimes take his input. When I don't take his advise, he and other quilters tell me that I combine colors that they would not.
Women are the carriers of Color Blindness
gene & they pass it on to their Male children.
My son has problems with bues & purples.
Kept him from becoming a pilot, but
no problem with red, green, yellows so he
is a Jet Mechanic.
Now as I get older I also have problems with
Navy & Black that I never had when younger.
My Dad was shade color blind. He loved to buy shirts for my brothers, they were the awfullest color combos.
Two of my four brothers are/were red-green color blind. It is more common in men.
My father is colorblind, but loves to paint landscapes so he depends on the paint labels. My husband is not colorblind, but can see different shades much better than I can. Still can't talk him into fabric shopping with me.
My sister is shade blind, she can tell blue from green, but not differences in the shades of blue or others. Blue is blue and green is green. Sky blue and aqua are the same to her. No wonder she was such an interesting dresser when we were kids, since this wasn't discovered until we were adults.

We are thinking of taking a trip to Alaska. Has anyone gone did you like it? What would you do again or not do again?
Alaska is beautiful! I would go again in a heartbeat. If you love the outdoors, it's the place to go. The hiking, biking, fishing, etc. It's just spectacular country to look at and enjoy. How could you not love seeing glaciers and wildfire flowers. I would say "go"!
Are going on a cruise? We took a 10 day trip, doing land first 5 days and cruise the remaining days. If you do a cruise, I'd do the land part first, then just relax on the cruise and take some side trips. It was great. Even found a quilt shop along the way. Also made a lasting friendship with another couple from Wisconsin. I say go for it, whether cruising or not. We'd go again! Also, go to get a picture of Mt McKinley, which usually is hard to get. The best part, our travel agency had a contest for customers to submit photos of their trips. We won, got a free trip to Puerta Vallarta, Mexico!!
Go!!!!!! :-)
My husband & I spent 3 months in Alaska 2010. We have a motorhome which made us very comfortable, it is beautiful (no one can tell you) you have to see it for yourselves. Would we go again-we are talking about it.
If you are driving besure to stop at Watson Lake, Yukon to tour the sign post forest. Let us know!.
I also loved the Yukon---Larger than Life.
the Quilting Dreamer
Lansing, MI
I have taken a couple of quilt cruises to Alaska. They were great!;We quilted on sea days and went on side trips. My DH went fishing while I checked out the quilt shops. I'd go after I save.my pennies.
My in-laws live in Alaska - its very beautiful and if you love the outdoors its the place for you. It can be quite an adventure getting around - alot of places are either boat to it or fly to it - its very nice- if you love to fish it is so much fun to go fishing there - you actually catch fish - your arms will get tired catching fish. Alaska is expensive - everything has to be barged in or flown in so groceries and everything is much more expensive - I think a cruise would be awesome up there - I have only been to my in-laws place - we fly in to their island and take the ferry when we come back - its definitely an adventure.
We went to Alaska June 2002. Loved it! Being Southerners we were always cold but still loved it. Would go again. Our neighbors have been 3 times.
Hubby regrets that we didn't take the overland train. I wanted to but he insisted he had to get back to work. Now every time he tells people about the trip he adds that he wishes we had done it-aw, but never mentions that I tried to get him to. lol
if you can go we took 5 weeks and drove the Alcan highway is a trip of a lifetime we loved Dawson City Yukon and the
top of the world highway to Chicken Alaska is another story we loved Fairbanks and also Skagway you would nrver be sorry that you took the trip go and you will enjoy
