Reviews of this property
The check-in procedure worked, though a friend came more early and took care of it. Had to re-check, but it was ok. The person responsable (was not Julia) could only speak Spanish and Polish I guess. So it would have been hard without at least minimum Spanish.
The location is perfect to get everywhere in Barca, but it is really loud... If you are senitive at that point, you will have heavy problems. Ramblas are litteraly around the corner and in summer they are active 24hours. Sometimes you get to enjoy an early morning hooker-fight or well behaving english gentleman with only half a beer too much.
Bathes are tiny and used. Really tiny...
The whole Appartment is "used".
I`ll recommend if you are with a group of friends trying to look for a cheap place near some nice party-locations.
If you want to spend time in there, don`t do it...
top located close to Rambla and just a view minutes walk to the market or the old center. But the apartment is not the best one - beds are very soft, the pictures show a different "roof top" terrace, the original one is the opposite, it's more like a cellar terrace - you feel a bit like in jail. Also the kitchen picture is not the right one, the original room looks less convenient. Everything is very old and used. Nevertheless the contact was friendly and we arranged with the circumstances.
A large apartment with a very strange layout. The apartment is worn out and you get what you pay for. One bed was broken when we arrived but they fixed it quickly and effortlessly. A large and nice patio. Very good location.
The pictures shown are not the pictures of the appartment! There is no terras. And the appartment is smaller and less comfortable.
Unfortunately we had to sleep the first night in a hotel because Julia never showed up to give us the key to the apartment.In spite of the fact that we had told Julia when we would arrive to Girona airport and given her our phone number, we were waiting outside the apartment from 01-02 at night. The phone number to Julia that appears on the Wimdu website is not correct, so we were not able to call her. Julia did not take contact to us before the next day at 15.00, so we were also worrying the next day if we would get the key or not.
The whole amount is unfortunately already taken from our account, and we are now trying to get our money back from the first night, that we spent in a nearby hotel. After talking to the hotel and other people working close to the apartment, we got the impression, that we were NOT the first guests that missed the "key-handing-out" with Julia.
The accommodation in Barcelona was absolutely fine, although the photographer did a great job. The specification 2 bathroom is a bit exaggerated, but we coped with it.
Was important to us, especially the central location right on the Rambla.
Die Unterkunft in Barcelona war absolut ok, obwohl der Fotograf ganze Arbeit geleistet hat. Die Angabe 2 Badezimmer ist vielleicht etwas übertrieben, aber wir sind damit zurechtgekommen.
Wichtig war uns vor allem die zentrale Lage direkt an der Rambla.
house very cold without heating or other means, a few blankets than you sleeping, if you go (like us) in winter is not very recommendable! On arrival the phone given to me to contact the owner would always be removed (later we found her on the spot, but quite accidentally). the house is dilapidated, but the location and price are absolutely good and affordable.
casa molto fredda senza riscaldamento o mezzi alternativi, poche le coperte rispetto hai posti letto, se andate (come noi) in inverno non è molto consigliabile!! all'arrivo il telefono datomi per contattare la proprietaria risultava sempre staccato (poi l'abbiamo trovata sul posto, ma abbastanza casualmente). la casa è fatiscente, ma la posizione e il prezzo sono assolutamente buoni e convenienti.

- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay
The Destination
Washed in the rich hues of terracotta, vermillion, and adobe pink, Santa Fe is graced with a diverse blend of artistic traditions. Situated at an elevation of 7,000 feet, this Northern New Mexico locale rests on a plateau at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. A stroll through the historic city's central plaza reveals rows of traditional and contemporary galleries, with some showing off classic turquoise jewelry and others displaying gorgeous watercolors. Outdoors enthusiasts will find plenty to love here, too, with Ski Santa Fe offering snowboarders and skiers an epic mountain less than 20 miles from town.
The Digs
Luxx Plaza Hotel, a posh boutique hotel in the heart of downtown, boasts suites with modern amenities like HDTV, Blu-ray, and Google TV; complimentary Wi-Fi; pillow-top mattresses; and kitchenettes. But the eclectic Southwestern décor pays homage to Santa Fe's roots. Masterpieces by Native American artist Stan Natchez hang from the property's walls, just as they do at one of the Smithsonian museums.
Even in this day and age, the desert sun remains New Mexico's best medicine man: Basking in the rays on your community deck is a Southwest luxury, and Luxx Plaza Hotel offers an outdoor hot tub and stainless steel barbecue grill, nestled in a stone sculpture garden, that will heal all of your stress-related ills.
"The rooms and the common area/lobby are hip and funky with lots of local art. Our room was spacious and quiet and the hotel is convenient to everything near the plaza."-- TripAdvisor

text: I have a 2004 Silverado Z71 crew cab, and also a young son. We have always had the "safety" lock on the back doors so that they cannot be opened from the inside. This weekend we were going somewhere without the boy, and an adult was riding in the back seat, and it was a pain to have to keep opening the door for them. I turned off the "safety" lock so that one door could be opened from the inside, but then noticed that the door would no longer lock....AT ALL. The other doors lock/unlock just fine with both the remote fob and manually hitting the power lock button or sliding the manual lock back and forth. This one door seems to be "stuck" unlocked. I cannot even lock it manually, since it refuses to move. Since I can't lock it manually, I don't THINK it's an electrical issue, but then again I'm certainly no expert. Any ideas on what the problem is? I'd prefer to fix it myself if it's something easy, but if it's involved I will have to take it in somewhere tomorrow because I don't want to leave my truck sitting around with one door essentially unlocked all the time. We have had issues at my work with cars being broken into. I don't want someone ransacking my truck, even if the alarm does go off when the unlocked door is opened. Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks!

Let's see... The quick run down - I'm 1/2 Korean, 1/2 German/Irish... I still have many goals and am very driven. I like to be adventurous and try everything at least once. I can stare at the ocean, stars, rain and fireplaces for hours. I like to sing mostly in my car and I like to dance when I think no one is looking. I love the sound of fire cracklin and rocks crunching... to work out, volunteer, eat, laugh, be goofy, sleep, go outdoors, watch sports and movies, be spontaneous, and also just hang out with my friends. I sometimes swear and burp out loud, but not at the same time. I'm very sarcastic, so if you can dish it out, I can take it. When I'm really tired I occasionally snore... If you want the truth, I will tell you and expect the same courtesy. I am a hopeless romantic and give with all my heart. I consider myself to be easy going and down-to-earth. I would like to experience all that life has to offer and I like to live everyday as if it was my last. I am grateful for everything and everyone in my life. I'm looking for someone fun, sarcastic, spontaneous, romantic, athletic, genuine and shares the same interests. Please... No Affliction or Ed Hardy shirts... just saying... :-p

I noticed on this forum that the spacing between the frames/bars is quite variable in topbar hives, tbh, warré..., from 1.25 inch or 3.175 cm wide for brood bars and 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) or more (5cm) for honey frames
Some Warre-ists install 7 frames (4.85 cm ; 1"9) for honey and 8 (3.75 cm ; 1"47) (for the brood ?) could be thought to nine frames for the cluster (3.33 cm ; 1"31) or even 10 according to TBH-ists dimensions
I saw the same, with the additional variation of the building (hot / cold), on the Voirnot 4X4 beehive
In short, is there a real advantage to choose different gauges other then standard trade racks? closer for the brood or queen rearing? or even prevention of swarming? or conversely ?
and there would be an advantage or a disadvantage to cross the frames example building on 8 or 9 (hot) and cross a 7 frame super?
tropically yours

Movie Review: J. Edgar
Find out what we have to say about Clint Eastwood's newest film, J. Edgar starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Director: Clint Eastwood
MPAA Rating: R
Studio: Imagine Entertainment
In J. Edgar, director Clint Eastwood has created an intelligent, decade - spanning biographical movie wrapped around a controversial and polarizing public figure, the iron-fisted and monstrously influential J. Edgar Hoover. The man most responsible for founding the FBI and who held sway under six consecutive U.S. Presidents, three of whom considered ousting him for overstepping his bounds but nevertheless turned a blind eye to his wrong doings since the potential political ramifications would be critical.
For years the government didn't know how to handle the vindictive racist, homophobic, misogynistic, pathological paranoid who so abused the authority he grabbed for himself, that, according to Eleanor Roosevelt, he created an American Gestapo. Hoover is a subject worthy of Shakespeare, of grand opera. So it's not surprising that J. Edgar, as expertly directed by Eastwood from a screenplay by Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black (Milk), is often quite moving while treating its central character as an object worthy of fascination, repulsion and admiration –but also of pity.
It's clear from his first appearance on screen that, as Hoover, Leonardo DiCaprio has come loaded for bear. He's obviously worked hard on the voice, gait, movements, the 'look' along with communicating Hoover's fears, peculiarities, insecurities and crippling social ineptness with expert precision. Although DiCaprio's efforts can sometimes come off as too studied and obvious, he hits his stride in Hoover's extracurricular off-the-job scenes. There's Hoover's pathetically awkward, unlikely 'courtship' of his attractive, ferociously protective administrative assistant (Naomi Watts).
There is a spectacularly respectable scene in which Hoover learns to dance for the first time, thanks to his complicated and influential mother played by the evocative and memorable Judi Dench. In fact, every scene between DiCaprio and Dench crackles with brilliance. Asides from the notable chemistry DiCaprio holds with his on-screen mother, Armie Hammer's role compliments DiCaprio perfectly as Hoover's right hand man and confidante at the FBI and, as the film suggests with discretion, his lover.
Apparently, the FBI is currently in a furor over Eastwood and Black's depiction of the nature of the Hoover-Tolson relationship – yes, they do kiss, yes they do flirt, yes Hoover does take Tolson on private vacations, yes they do bicker and spar like an old married couple. DiCaprio and Hammer not only share strong screen chemistry but also treat the relationship with dignity, complexity and tenderness; right to the end. Unfortunately their scenes as their character's older selves though, the actors are badly undercut by rubbery looking 'aging' makeup that seems to be prepared in Hollywood many, many decades ago.
Despite some very careful period detail, some of the film's dialogue clangs with anachronistic buzzwords and there is a pretty dubious casting of actors to play the likes of President Richard M. Nixon and arch conservative film star Ginger Rogers. Although J. Edgar may not be towering and definitive as one might hope, it is thoroughly gripping, powerful and packs a toothy political bite. Eastwood and company have taken a thorny, adult subject and created a film that is infinitely more affecting and human than one might expect.

I'm a newbie to posting but I've been lurking on this site for awhile and it seemed to have some great opportunities to connect with other beekeepers.
My Name is Scott Barlow, I've been a bee haver off & on since the early 90s.
A couple of years ago a friend from work who is also a beekeeper challenged me to get my NC Beekeeper certs. I took his challenge and now am a Journeyman level NC Beekeeper and working on my Masters with NC State.
I still have much to learn and enjoy bees greatly.
My wife and kids don't get it yet but they tolerate my interests.
I had worked up from one new hive a couple of years ago to 10 last fall but last summer here was not a good season for honey production and now 8 of my 10 hives didn't make it. But as our friends down under say "No worries Mate!" With the Lord's help we'll build back up. My goal is 200+ hives in 5 years. I told the wife I kept her and the kids up the first 25 years she can keep me and my bees up the last 25 or more.

Over in the Cooking with "Eat Mexico" topic I've posted a about things I've made from Lesley Téllez's recently-published book about street food in Mexico City. I finally had time to go down to "CDMX" (as they are now trying to rebrand themselves) this weekend and went on two of the Eat Mexico food tours. On Friday we went on the street food tour, and on Saturday on the San Juan market tour. The pope was also in town this weekend which made the city crazier than usual and drove the tour selections as we tried to not be where he was, with limited success.
Street Food Tour
I have limited photos of this one because our hands were usually full! There are ten "normal" stops on the tour plus a couple of optional ones. One of the vendors was closed for the day, but we definitely had no shortage of food. I think the tour lasted something like four hours, and we were basically eating the whole time. Most of it was standing and walking, but we did stop into a local coffee shop and sit down for a short time. Our guide, Arturo, was excellent. He is from the city, has attended culinary school, and is very well versed in both the local street food culture as well as Mexican cuisine overall.
While the tour was mostly eating, we did walk through one small neighborhood market just to get the feel for the thing, and we stopped at one local tortilleria:
The classic tortilla-delivery vehicle:
We chatted up a local store owner who was making "antojitos" ("little cravings") for breakfast:
Ate some tamales, walked a bit, then had some tlacoyos: here are the condiments...
We also had some fresh juices. They really like their pseudo-medicinal juices.. we had the one that was "anti-flu" (and delicious):
For the tlacoyos I had a huitlacoche and my wife has the chicken tinga. The huitlacoche was disappointingly non-descript. The remedy, of course, was to douse it in salsa, which fixes everything. A few blocks down we had carnitas tacos:
And then some mango and watermelon with chile powder:
Arturo tried to ply us with more food at the nearby burreria, but at this point we were on the verge of exploding:
So we stopped for some locally-roasted coffee:
Then on to a burrito place (of all things!) -- the guy running the burrito place was hilarious, and totally frank about stealing the burrito thing from Texas and then "fixing it." He's had the stand for something like 20 years. We split a squash blossom burrito (squash blossoms, onions, salsa, and cheese are the only ingredients, no rice or beans) which he makes on the griddle and then covers in a cheese blend and fries until the cheese browns and crisps. Definitely an improved burrito! Yeah, no photos there. Second to last was an absolutely terrific octopus tostada:
And then a final stop for dessert (which we took back to the hotel rather than eating it there):
ETA: A couple more photos. Also, there was a turkey and pork sandwich of some kind that I have no photos of and can't quite remember where it fit into the tour. Just in case you were worried about us starving.

Salsa Para Enchiladas
3 ancho chiles
2 New Mexico chiles
2 chipotle chiles
1 clove garlic, sliced
2 TB flour
2 TB vegetable oil
1 tsp vinegar
¾ tsp salt
¼ tsp dried oregano
2 cups broth, stock, or (filtered) chili soaking liquid
Rinse, stem and seed chiles. Place in saucepan and cover with water. Bring to boil. Cover and remove from heat and let soften and cool. While the chiles are cooling, gently sauté garlic slices in oil until they are soft and golden brown. Remove the garlic from the oil, with a slotted spoon and reserve. Make a light roux by adding the flour to the oil and sautéing briefly. Drain the chilies and puree them with the garlic slices and half of the liquid. Strain the puree back into the saucepan. Pour the remainder of the liquid through the sieve to loosen any remaining chili pulp. Add the roux to the saucepan and whisk to blend. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pan, bring to a boil then and simmer 15-20 minutes. Taste and add additional salt and vinegar if necessary.

The February issue of Sunset Magazine has a great article about the beans of Mexico. And guess who is featured.....our own Steve Sando. Nice write up and lots and lots of recipes. I have been a Sunset subscriber for more than 25 years and I finally :"know" someone in it. Cool Beans as they say.
I hope someone with more skills than I have can post a link.

A friend gifted me a book written by someone I know of but only loosely. The acquaintance is a former missionary who has lived in Oaxaca for 15 years and co-authored this book with Susana Trilling (famous Oaxacan cooking instructor). The book is self published and really surprised me with its quality. The whole thesis is saving the indigenous foods of the area and combatting GMO infiltration of the area. Those of you who know the area might know of one of my hero restaurants - the like-minded Itanoni in Oaxaca City - surely they all travel in the same circles.
Recipes are average fare - not fancy - clearly recipes from regular local folk, but very authentic, not fusion. They start with basic fresh masa, run you through all sorts of things including molé and salads and end up with stuff like yucca and egg tacos. The chapters include: Wild Greens (purslane, amaranth, etc), Beans & Squash, Salsa, Nopal and Maguey, Food and Fiesta, Medicinal uses. About 300 pages in all (so figure 150 in English and 150 in Spanish).
This book is not available through Amazon. It is bilingual. I highly recommend it.
Side note: Quite frankly these guys are goofs. They don't know how important and well produced this book is and aren't marketing it worth crap. Go buy it. Tell them I sent you. And enjoy this book.

I am a newbie both to this board and to the world of mexican cooking. I love tamales but the place where I live distinctly lacks good mexican restaurants. The best tamales I've tasted were made by my mexican friends mom at home and served fresh and they tasted like something that'd be served only in heaven. Am dying to try making them myself but I don't have the slightest idea how to get started. Can someone give me a tried and tested recipe using ingredients that I'm likely to be able to buy in the US? I'd be really really really grateful. Oh and I'm a vegetarian although I do eat eggs from time to time. So I need a vegetarian recipe too . Really looking forward to some help!!!
Thanks a million,

Chef's Hat: Pass the potato salad
The calendar shows that we are past Memorial Day, so we are now officially into the summer season. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate for all of those upcoming graduation parties, family cookouts and friendly get-togethers.
Potato salad is a great side commonly served at summer cookouts. Potato salad goes well with pretty much any type of meat, whether it's grilled, baked or broiled. Many potato salads are little more than boiled potatoes, mayonnaise, celery, onions and, if you're lucky, a bit of seasonings to add some flavor.
Forget about those old style, creamy, boiled potato type dishes. Potato salads can have a bold, spicy flavor and still be a great accompaniment to almost any main dish.
There are many ways to add pizzazz to a boring batch of potatoes. From adding some spice to grilling the potatoes, that bland side dish can be the hit of the party.
So forget about those mayonnaise-soaked potatoes and try something with a bit more bite the next time you're looking for a side dish to go with that grilled burger or steak.
Enjoy the summer, and happy eating!

Hey coders...
Also I am looking to accomplish 2 major objectives...
1) main blog page
2) Photo Gallery
These are to start, not sure what else I may. Does anyone have any decent references on where to start? Looked around on the intarwebs but didn't have exactly what I was looking for. The hosting platform is linux with MySQL databases (so I suppose LAMP).
Thanks for any assistance, also the i am hoping to get my coding skills up to speed by doing this. I like to learn by having some sort of tangible goal.

I created a nice mold of my mr helmet. It wasnt perfect. Either the mother was not quite right, or the mold was too thin on top, I got a lot of 'wavyness' in the dome. I created another.
On my VERY LAST coat, It didnt cure right. Now, Im not sure why. I noticed that the silicone was 'thicker' and I assumed that it was just the last batch I had done had thixotropic in it.
So it didnt cure totally. its sticky. I mixed another batch, and use it on something else, and it cured, so I must have had the balance just out of wack.
I put a thin coat all over, of the properly cured silicone before work today, but I havent been home yet.
Is there any way to fix/help/cure/un-sticky it so this 150 dollars worth of silicone isnt wasted?
Any ideas? Im concerned if its not fully cured, when I make the mother mold it will stick to it. and ruin the whole thing.
I havent checked the last coat I put on, if its slick when I get home, Ill find any stick spots left, and cover it with good silicone, but it sucks because this one was pretty good.
Is it common for this to happen? Or am I just that dumb.
Any input from you gurus would be GREATLY appreciated.

Miki's Market : Welcome to Palo Alto!
Original post made by Anonymous, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Oct 22, 2012
It's exactly the market we were hoping for. Centrally located, farmers market quality produce. Nice cheeses, meats and fish. Good general selection.
Whole Foods and Molly Stones will need to up their game. After losing Andronicos and Oakville, Miki's is a breath of fresh air.

Just for the record, is the name pronounced "Mikey's" or "Mickey's" ?

How is their selection of ethnic foods?

We've stopped by twice now. It is pretty good - big butcher section, cheese, fruit & veggies. Similar to Piazza's or Mollie Stone's. Definitely skewed more toward higher priced stuff, though there were some more modestly priced selections as well. Parking a bit of a hassle - narrow, somebody almost hit us pulling out of their spot.
Overall, we think we prefer Sprouts based on pricing and selection, though we probably prefer this place to Mollie Stones. Plus Sprouts has plastic bags of course ;-)

My husband went to Miki's and raved about the wine section. Apparently it is quite large and well-filled. He came home with some excellent Gouda cheese and apples.
He did say that the parking was definitely dicey and inadequate, and that the entry/exit was too narrow, especially since cars going each direction have to share it.
Problem is my husband went on a Saturday, which is never a good time to go to a grocery store. I will go on a weekday, and hopefully have better luck,with the parking lot.

Went to Miki's this morning, and the first thing that happened was that my car was nearly hit head on by a driver coming out, too fast, of the same driveway I was going in. I was lucky to find a parking space after driving around a while, because by 11:00, the lot was almost completely full. There is not enough parking for Starbuck's customers, so it spills over into Miki's.
The store itself is nice, not that small, but definitely pricier than promoted. Cheaper than Mollie Stone's ,but not nearly so snooty. Cheaper than Whole Foods, but more expensive than Safeway or Piazza's.
I may go there for wine or produce, but otherwise, I will stick with Piazza's. That entry and exit situation is too dangerous, the parking too limited.
a resident of Barron Park School
on Jan 21, 2013 at 10:40 pm
My husband and I are delighted that such a great grocery store has come to Palo Alto. We were impressed with Miki's diverse and high quality selections - it's fun to go grocery shopping again. Service is great. The owner walks around to make sure you can find everything and thanks you for coming. We hope more people will try the store out - if you do, you'll be impressed. We only go to Piazza's or Mollie Stone's if we need a few items but this store will be our primary grocery store for produce, cheese, meat, deli and bakery items even though it's a little further to drive to. As far as parking goes, I believe there is also underground parking in addition to the parking in front of the store entrance.


text: It's hard to know who to cheer for tonight in the ALCS as both of these teams are recent World Series winners, and both of them against the Rangers. So, both the Giants and the Cardinals are great teams with great talent ... but I'm still pretty bitter about it all. :grrrrrr: Anyone watching these? Who's gonna win and go face the Tigers?

Watch out for GAMING!
Original post made by Janice Elliot, Alamo, on Jan 8, 2008
Heads up, California,
When gaming becomes a major income stream for your State, the character of the State Goverment changes. As you review Proposition 94, 95, 96 and 97, realize that they will increase gaming in California in or near cities, change State environmental controls and create a very wealthy political lobby that will work further to increase the amount of gaming and size of establishments throughout your State.
Changes in environmental laws will not be restricted to gaming facilities and resorts. Industry lobby, such as energy, chemical, and transportation, have joined gaming lobby in changing various State and National environmental law and policy.
We KNOW!

Dear Neighbors,
I am surprised that more people outside of California are concerned about our State propositions to increase GAMING in California and bring such mega-operations near our cities. I am further surprised that the overall impact on environmental planning and controls are not causing concerns in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. I am not surprised that the political lobby created by GAMING has been able to keep our regional and county politicians quiet on the subject of social and environmental impact of GAMING.
Where ever you are in California, Mega-casinos can happen! Are you concerned?

She has definitely improved a lot in the short period of time she's been working with Frank C., specifically from Cup of China where after her free program scores came up, she looked at Frank C and said tearfully "I just want to go home and practice skating my program" with the response from Frank "I want you to remember this conversation when we get home and I ask you to do a full run through". If she was skipping elements/not doing full run throughs/restarting on mistakes (which the rumor mill coming out of California suggested), she probably DID slow down noticeably later in her programs due to her training process (which contributed to her UR issues) which would tank her PCS score some. If she began doing as Frank C asked and as her role model did (Evan's penchant for full run throughs no matter his feelings/health/relationship status/etc) and she was doing full run throughs no matter what, then her PCS would go up because she was able to maintain her speed and flow throughout. After Skate Canada, she admitted that she was focused on the tech content and trying to appear older and more dramatic (which just made her look bored) which hurt her PCS mark there. It was only a few weeks after CoC and she was just getting into the swing of full run throughs. By Nationals, it was clear they had worked out the presentation side (girl scout flirty-smiley Carmen) and that she was much better trained to get through her programs and by the Olympics, she was even better trained. Why your conspiracy theories? Sheesh.
A lot of maybes there. The chance of those maybes happened all together is 0. So Mirai is still overscored. I don't care for her skating. I don't think she's good. I don't think she's deserving of her placement. I find her act annoying.
I have gone through about the first 8-10 pages of getty images...selected all the jumps/ air position photos I could find.
Used YuNa as the standard:
Rachael Flatt
Flatt has nicely crossed ankles, straightline /back/leg position. What surprised me was how sloppy YuNa's air position is in her jumps.
I think the consistency in air position for Rachael helps explain her overall jump consistency.
Last edited by Nigel; 04-07-2010 at 03:33 PM.
During a jump, YuNa definitely has more hang time than Rachael and can afford to have a more open air position.
Rachael's in air position is very consistent and very tight. She seems very efficient in the air. I do think, however, her shoulders may be a bit too rounded, but that may be more due to the general shape of her body. Otherwise, her in-air body line is quite consistent and gets the the job done.
The cutesie smiley act she put on every single time. She has absolutely no connection to the music she's skating to. The SP and LP this year are about the same. She could do her LP to last year music, the year before that, and the year before that.
Her interpretation should be 3 or 2. I don't buy her Carmen at all. It's the worst Carmen on ice. It's like Miley Cyrus giggling and reciting "No. First I tried to free them. I... I opened the gate to their pen, but they wouldn't run. They just stood there, confused. They wouldn't run."

Flatt competes with bulging discs....her layback used to be quite good...research photos of her from her Novice season, prior to her injury. Since the injury, she is unable to do level 3 or 4 laybacks...
not that I am commenting on other aspects of her skating. But, to be quite fair, she has competed with back issues for 4 seasons.....i know that my husband has two bulging discs from years of running marathons...and there are some days when he can barely bend over to tie his running shoes....LOL!
skatemom, you actually thought Flatt ruined "Sing, Sing, Sing?" I think that might be one of my favourite short programs of the season - the step sequence never fails to get me smiling with it's flapper, flirty charm.
While Rachael isn't the best skater ever, I also enjoyed her short program quite a bit this year. I love the step sequence and how she really got into the music and spirit of the program during it.

The game-changing decision to create an A320 Family jetliner final assembly line in Mobile, Alabama will make Airbus the first additional manufacturer of large commercial aircraft at a U.S. facility in more than four decades.
Announcing this milestone choice in the presence of Alabama officials, airline customers, industry suppliers and Airbus employees, President & CEO Fabrice Brégier cited three primary reasons for the decision and its timing.
"First, because our customers need to cut fuel burn, cut emissions and do it fast – and we're going to help them do it, thanks to the people of Alabama and the new A320neo aircraft, which is the bestseller in the world in this category," he said. "Second, because sourcing the best talent for an international group is now a global challenge: and while other companies in the American aerospace business are laying off, we hired 4,000 people last year, and we'll do the same again this year – we go where the talent is. And third, because building aircraft in Mobile will create growth and will create jobs, for Airbus and for our suppliers across America, Europe and the rest of the world."
Answering the cheers of a standing-room only crowd at Mobile's downtown convention center, Brégier said Airbus plans to "seize the opportunity with both hands" in bringing the production of its industry-leading A320 Family to the world's largest market for such single-aisle jetliners – with the United States expected to retain this ranking for the next 20 years.
"Airbus indeed has European roots, but we have long since grown into a truly global company with key sites in other parts of the world. And, of course, we're already right at home here in the U.S.A.," he added. "In fact, U.S. suppliers helped get the very first Airbus aircraft off the ground, and today we spend almost half of our global procurement budget here – meaning that we invest more than $12 billion a year in the U.S. economy. This supports over 250,000 jobs in more than 40 states, and it, in fact, makes us the largest export customer for the American aerospace industry."
To be located at Mobile's Brookley Aeroplex facility, the A320 Family final assembly line is targeted to start operations in 2015 – with deliveries beginning the following year. It is anticipated that 40-50 aircraft will be produced annually at the facility by 2018, adding to the output of Airbus' existing A320 Family final assembly lines at its Toulouse, France headquarters location; in Hamburg, Germany; and at Tianjin, China.
The investment committed by Airbus and its EADS parent company for this new U.S. production facility is estimated at approximately $600 million – creating some 1,000 jobs in the region, and its assembly flow will follow the same processes as at the other worldwide A320 Family final assembly lines.
For the U.S. operation, fully-equipped aircraft sections will be delivered by standard freight container ships, arriving at the Port of Mobile near Brookley Aeroplex. Certain U.S.-origin parts will be supplied directly to the facility, using the network of railroads and the interstate road system that serves the region.
Once the A320 Family aircraft are assembled, they will be flight tested and delivered from Mobile Downtown Airport – which is located within the Brookley Aeroplex, and has two existing runways with lengths of 9,600 ft. and 7,800 ft.
Airbus' new A320 Family final assembly line will expand a U.S. footprint that already includes the Mobile Engineering Center operation – which also is based at Brookley Aeroplex – and the Airbus Military maintenance, repair and overhaul delivery facility located at the nearby Mobile Regional Airport; along with the spares center in Ashburn, Virginia; design and engineering office in Wichita, Kansas; training center in Miami, Florida; safety & technical affairs/government relations office in Washington, D.C. and the Airbus Americas headquarters in Herndon, Virginia.
For more information, see the related online coverage from Mobile.

I started two KTBHs this summer which were part of my self-sufficient homesteading studies in Sweden. I looked after those hives until October, now they belong to the school. I will get updates though. Those colonies are ment to be treatment free and were not treated with anything else but kindness
I am building new top bar hives now and will start my very first apiary in May next year which is to be treatment free. I am not sure if I can afford to dirve far north of Sweden to buy the bees from Erik Österlund (I might get his Queens though) so there is a chance I will buy local treated bees. I am building a few bait hives too in hope to catch at least one swarm.
My hives have solid bottom so no way to monitor for Varroa except to open the hive and scrape out the bottom dirt and count. But I dont feel like doing this rather I will observe the colonies and breed only those showing good fitness.
My hive management will be as Les Crowder discribes in his book. I hope to get The Complete Idiot's Guide To Beekeeping for christmas.
I will focus on Live and Let Die approach and for that reason will try to breed new Queens and make splits.
I will buy two colonies to start with which I intend to split as soon they show signs of swarming. Or should I split them immediatelly when I get them home? This means 4 colonies but there will be more Queen Cells in the two origianl hives to make a few more nucs. I dont want to weaken those 4 hives much and dont know how many nucs should I go with.
Thank you

I hope Y'all have some pretties to show !
I hope Y'all have some pretties to show !
I don't know about "pretties" but here are mine. I substitued All Those Squares (from QuiltersCache) for Kansas. I wanted to have some farm scenes (and quite honestly I didn't want to do y-seams).Attachment 346316
Lovely job!! I love it. Perfect job. Lovely farm scenes. I love the way you did that.
JanRN, I love your substitution block with the farm scenes and the fabric in lightening looks so dramatic, just like a lightening storm. Great job on both!!
Here are mine. I messed up on lightening. When I squared it I took too much off the right hand side so I'm going to do it over but you get the gist of it.
I still need more practice adding corner squares on Kansas.
Thank you both for such nice comments.
Termi, congrats--your Kansas block it great. You have nice colors and good contrast and you nailed those **blasted y- seams. I really like the colors you used in Lightning.
Here are mine for this week, I worked on Kansas ALL day yesterday. Think I did more reverse sewing that straight sewing lol...
I played my game of guessin' which blocks belong ta who.
Jan - I love the contrast in your Lighting. When i first saw your 'All those squares " I thought that Artemcasa was back.(Has anyone heard from her?) They are awesome farm scenes!
Termi - Ya nailed 'em!!! Lovely blocks.
mirabelle - I knew that those were yours right off. Beautiful!
JanRN ... what a pretty alternate block and I'm sure you knew I'd love to see the farm scenes! Angry stormy sky there!
Termi ... Well done on that Kansas block! Looks nice and flat, straight, square and pointy in all the right places! OOPS on the lightening ... it happens! Nice effect with the bandana fabric.
MiraB ... <sigh> what else do we say when we see your beautiful blocks! Always so beautiful and this week, no exception!
Kansas? ... As I looked at it ... if anyone wants to do it and avoid Y-seams. you could switch it to HSTs and still get the same look, just more seams!
DublB ... no, not a word from ArteEC. I know she was dealing with family health problems.
Anael ... Me-thinks this should be about now that you'll be back from holidays? Do hope you had a wonderful time and got lots of R+R and are now ready to R .......... esume! "D
JanRN your farm scenes are beautiful and I love your marbled fabric.
Termi your blocks are beautiful, love the paisley print.
Thanks everyone for your kind words, as always lots of encouragement
The weather in France was great, lots of sunshine, only one day cloudy and no sunshine. We weren't very active, mostly beach and a walk in the evening so yes, lots of R + R :D

Ashley is an artist, not a great jumper, but she seems to follow the kwan rules for success. I love her skating. She lacks speed when you put her next to caro, yuna, akiko, gracie. I wish she could improve in that area as it is so valued. I remember when Irina was the fastest lady flying into her jumps.
Ashley reminds me a bit of Kwan, with more detailed, nuanced choreo of course and I wish there were a place for skaters like Janet Lynn. Speed is only great if you are creating elegance in my book.

UTSA demonstration kitchen
>> Watch May 11 cooking demonstration on
WOAI's "San Antonio Living"
(Photos by Mark McClendon)
Students teach other students healthy eating
By Omar Hernandez
Public Affairs Specialist
(May 4, 2009)--UTSA junior education major Kristen Bird and junior kinesiology major Steven Venegas are full-time students, but one night a week in the UTSA demonstration kitchen they teach their classmates how to live right by eating right. There is plenty of Q&A time, and more importantly to students... the classes are free.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
In the Recreation and Wellness Center on the Main Campus, the UTSA demo kitchen is one of only two in the nation on a college campus and is fully equipped with oven, refrigerator, sink and assorted cookware. Bird and Venegas take turns guiding as many as 20 students through recipes that are both healthy and affordable.
The Recreation and Wellness Center contracts registered dietitian Annie Bell to provide nutrition information during the classes, but instruction is led completely by Bird and Venegas. They recently gave a cooking demonstration for WOAI TV's "San Antonio Living" show, which will air at 10 a.m., Monday, May 11.
"I'm a total theater dork," said Bird. "It was so fun -- I had no problem being on TV."
They decided she would lead the instruction part and Venegas would do the cooking. Also a chef at the Vineyards restaurant, Venegas kept the focus on the demonstration.
"I was just trying to focus on how this would benefit UTSA, so I didn't really think about me during the taping," he said.
Bird added, "It was just an awesome experience for the Recreation Center, because when most people think of a gym they think exercise and muscles. But this is a way to be healthy overall and it shows different aspects of UTSA."

How To Render Light Maps in XNA
light map effect texture ldquo new basicmodel camera mapping
Light mapping is a method for handling the lighting of a surface, including shadows, for static geometry. There are two mainstream techniques, (shadow mapping and shadow volumes) that can render
dynamic models and static models in real-time, but they cost some performance. Ray-tracing is the highly-realistic method for calculating the lighting properties of objects, but the cost in time is
very high and it is hard to render a complex scene in real-time. For static models, light mapping is a better method, because it requires just a light map texture and a second set of texture
coordinates in the model file (such as a .X file, exported by Panda 3ds Max plug-in. Light mapping can be used with multiple light sources at no additional cost. For example, shadow mapping will add
some extra rendering passes to the scene with multiple light sources).
How can we generate a light map? We can use the "render to texture" function of 3ds Max to generate a light map and save the texture coordinates in UV Channel 2. The light map is storing the
intensities of light on the object's surface. It can be an RGB color texture. When we render a model with light map, each pixel from the usual color map is modulated by the color stored in the
light map (access via the second texture coordinate stored in the FVFData block of a .X file).
You can find the complete source code (for XNA Game Studio 3.0) for this article and 3ds Max files here

poo poo loud mouth Sapp..
Strahan > Sapp
poo poo loud mouth Sapp..
Strahan > Sapp
Sapp was a lot of hype. He had a great peak but he wasn't the best on his team. That was Derrick Brooks. Sapp was also a joke on the Raiders. Unlike Strahan, Sapp was also cut in his "peak years". I'm literally stunned that guy got in over Strahan.
The only thing bigger than Sapp's fat *** is his ego!!!
I stopped fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.
Forgetting my bias for a moment .... can someone logically explain to me why Sapp is in the HoF before Strahan?
Less sacks, tackles, pass defenses, forced fumbles, safeties, TDs and Super Bowl appearances.
Then let's consider strength of position. Strahan was the second highest rated strong side DE in NFL history (behind Reggie White).
Warren Sapp (DT) arguably doesn't even rate in the Top 10 at his position (Randle, Green, Grier, Kennedy, Olsen, White, Lilly, Page, Perry, Selmon).
Sapp: http://www.pro-football-reference.co...S/SappWa00.htm
Strahan: http://www.pro-football-reference.co...S/StraMi02.htm
I don't get it.
Having said that.......
......I truly believe however that the fake sack record and the way it was gotten, had a direct impact on the HOF voting this year. Obviously Strahan is a Hall of Fame quality player and will definitely get in, probably next year.
But if you guys don't think that fiasco with Favre didn't have an impact with some voters, you're kidding yourselves.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
Sapp is a media darling too, no?
Mood: WOOF!
I wouldn't go so far as calling it "FAKE".
I remember the play well and yeah...Favre gave it up and went down on his own, but the fact is Strahan still got to him fair and square, and Favre had no time to run or get rid of the ball, so he went down.
Really no less a sack than a QB being touched down after he falls on a botched snap.
I'm not saying you're wrong about it being a reason he was left out, I'm just saying that if it was the reason, it's stupid because that one shouldn't overshadow all the others leading up to the record. But knowing how drunk with power these fart sniffing writers are with their almighty votes, you're probably right.

Strahan will always be the better player in my humble opinion.....

UTSA collaborates on trio of art retrospectives
(Jan 27, 2009)--The University of Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio Museum of Art and Southwest School of Art & Craft will collaborate on a trio of exhibitions of the work of Marcia Gygli King, M.F.A., '80. Opening Jan. 28 and 29, "Marcia Gygli King: Forty Years," reflects the many facets of the respected artist. The exhibitions are free and open to the public.

The trio of retrospective exhibits opens with a reception at 6 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 28 at the UTSA Art Gallery in the Arts Building on the 1604 Campus. The evening's centerpiece is a 7 p.m. lecture on King's work by renowned New York art historian and critic Robert C. Morgan.
From 5 to 8 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 29, the San Antonio Museum of Art and the Southwest School of Art & Craft will co-host opening receptions at both venues. At 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 3, David S. Rubin will host "A Conversation with Marcia Gygli King" at the San Antonio Museum of Art.
"Marcia Gygli King: Forty Years" represents the artist's many phases and interests. The UTSA gallery will exhibit a selection of her most recent works, "The Culture Series." Additionally, she will conduct a workshop at UTSA on her reverse painting techniques. Early works on paper, under the heading "Spontaneous Combustion," will be exhibited at the Southwest School of Art & Craft. The San Antonio Museum of Art will present "Botanical Paintings," a body of work she began in the early 1990s and continues to pursue.
King has produced work across multiple genres including feminist critiques and her latest work reflecting contemporary cultures of consumption. She uses varying styles from minimalist to expressive abstraction, to bold figurative painting, from intimate works on paper to wall-size paintings. With studios in New York City and San Antonio, her decades of work reflect the important give-and-take between regional artists and the New York art world.
King's extensive record includes numerous awards, frequent discussions of her work in magazines, journals and in a documentary, and a long list of national exhibitions. Her work is included in the collections of the San Antonio Museum of Art, Arkansas Art Center, Brooklyn Museum, Cleveland Museum of Art, Guggenheim Museum in New York, McNay Museum and the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., among others.
"Marcia Gygli King: Forty Years" will be accompanied by an illustrated catalogue with an introductory essay by art critic and historian Robert C. Morgan, who speaks to King's universal appeal: "Her paintings... are an heroic consolation that the artist is still capable of opening people's eyes, hearts and minds everywhere."
Other essays in the catalog were written by Paula Owen, president of the Southwest School of Art & Craft, David S. Rubin, Brown Foundation Curator of Contemporary Art at SAMA, and Scott Sherer, associate professor of art history and director of the UTSA Art Gallery.

Just wondering if anyone has a good idea what might work for this. I am planning to winter a lot of nucs on top of double screens over strong colonies. The problem I haven't worked out is that I want to be able to feed them and monitor the feeding and consumption without having to open anything or move anything. I am considering the possiblity of using one of those little bottle feeders they use for hamsters etc. If I drill a hole in the nuc and have the pipe from the bottle go into the hive then I can see the bottle to see if they are consuming it, and I can pull it and refill it without risking breaking up the cluster or having to dig down several layers of nucs to get to one of them.
My criteria:
Be able to monitor and feed from the outside without moving any of the nucs.
Does anyone have any other ideas of a method to do this?

Flying First Class in the Birthplace of Aviation
Dayton Grand Hotel • Dayton, OH
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Up to Four in a King Bed Suite with a Sleeper Sofa
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Two Nights
Known across the globe as the birthplace of aviation thanks to native sons Wilbur and Orville Wright, Dayton, Ohio, is also the perfect place to spread your wings for a high-flying Escape—especially when you take off in first-class with a stay at the Dayton Grand Hotel.
Start your ascent in style inside contemporary guest rooms appointed with the lastest amenities: Think spacious king beds, high-speed Internet access, a private hard-wood work desk, and coffee service. Warm accent colors and modern lamp lighting create a heavenly atmosphere; complimentary continental breakfast served in the Polo Grille each morning is bound to send your taste buds soaring.
The Dayton Grand Hotel takes convenience to new heights. An on-site business center, heated indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, and a modern fitness center ensure you don't have to jet-set from here to there to maintain your daily routine. But you'll probably want to navigate what Ohioans call "The Gem City" all the same.
"Dayton's vibrant arts and cultural scenes boast numerous museums, theaters and galleries," says TripAdvisor. "The so-called 'birthplace of aviation' remembers its lofty past with the National Museum of the US Air Force and the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park. SunWatch Indian Village and Archaeological Park offers a glimpse at an earlier history of the area."
In town, navigate a bevy of shopping opportunities in the Oregon District or the Greene Shopping Center; or walk the grounds of the scenic University of Dayton. And after you've dined on the city's finest fare at restaurants like Roost, you won't want to come back down to earth.
"During our whole trip, this had to be the best hotel we stayed at. The beds were amazing and clean, the room was big, and the bathroom was roomy. The rooftop pool was really nice and the kids loved it."-- TripAdvisor

Andersen announces first recruiting class
17 scholarship players coming to Wisconsin
MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen's first recruiting class is highlighted by a pair of defensive ends from suburban Milwaukee.
Alec James of Brookfield East and Chikwe Obasih from Brookfield Central are among six players from Wisconsin who signed national letters of intent with the Badgers on Wednesday, about two months after coach Bret Bielema left for Arkansas.18443446
Andersen and his staff were able to retain most of the prospects who initially committed before Bielema's departure.
Another standout in the group is Corey Clement, who could be the next great Badgers running back from south New Jersey.
Clement played at Glassboro High School, not far from where former Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne grew up. Clement will help fill the void created by the departure of Montee Ball.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Ministry were formed in 1981 by Alain Jourgensen (born October 8, 1958, Havana, Cuba); he had moved to the U.S. with his mother while very young and lived in a succession of cities, eventually working as a radio DJ and joining a new wave band called Special Affect (fronted by future My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult leader Frankie Nardiello, aka Groovie Mann). Featuring drummer Stephen George, Ministry debuted with the Wax Trax! single "Cold Life," which -- typical of their early output -- was more in the synth pop/dance style of new wavers like the Human League or Thompson Twins. The album With Sympathy appeared on the major-label Arista in 1983 and followed a similar musical direction, one that Jourgensen was dissatisfied with; he returned to Wax Trax! and recorded several singles while rethinking the band's style and forming his notorious side project the Revolting C**ks.
In 1985, with Jourgensen the only official member of Ministry, the Adrian Sherwood-produced Twitch was released by Sire Records; while not as aggressive as the group's later, more popular material, it found Jourgensen taking definite steps in that direction. Following a 1987 single with Skinny Puppy's Kevin Ogilvie (aka Nivek Ogre) as PTP, Jourgensen once again revamped Ministry with former Blackouts bassist Paul Barker officially joining the lineup to complement Jourgensen's rediscovery of the guitar; fellow ex-Blackouts William Rieflin (drums) and Mike Scaccia (guitar), as well as vocalist Chris Connelly, were heavily showcased as collaborators for the first of several times on 1988's The Land of Rape and Honey. With Jourgensen and Barker credited as Hypo Luxa and Hermes Pan, respectively, this album proved to be Ministry's stylistic breakthrough, a taut, explosive fusion of heavy metal, industrial dance beats and samples, and punk aggression. Released in 1989, The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste built on its predecessor's artistic success, and In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up was recorded on its supporting tour, introducing other frequent Ministry contributors like drummer Martin Atkins (later of Pigface) and guitarist William Tucker (as well as featuring a guest shot from Jello Biafra). Jourgensen next embarked on a flurry of side projects, including the aforementioned Revolting C**ks (with Barker, Barker's brother Roland, Front 242 members Luc Van Acker and Richard 23, and many more), 1000 Homo DJs (with Biafra, Rieflin, and Trent Reznor), Acid Horse, Pailhead (with Ian MacKaye), and Lard (again with Biafra, Paul Barker, Rieflin, and drummer Jeff Ward).
In late 1991, Ministry issued the single "Jesus Built My Hotrod," a driving rocker featuring manic nonsense vocals by co-writer Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers; its exposure on MTV helped build anticipation for the following year's full-length, Psalm 69 (subtitled The Way to Succeed & the Way to Suck Eggs, although the only title that appears on the album consists of a few Greek letters and symbols). The record reached the Top 30 and went platinum, producing two further MTV hits with "N.W.O." and "Just One Fix," and Ministry consolidated their following with a spot on the inaugural Lollapalooza tour that summer (joined by new guitarist Louis Svitek). However, drug and legal problems sidelined the band in the wake of its newfound popularity, resulting in the clouded Filth Pig being released in 1995, too late to capitalize on their prior success. More problems with drugs and arrests followed, and Jourgensen returned to some of his side projects, recording a new album with Lard, among others. In 1999, the new single "Bad Blood" was featured prominently in the sci-fi special-effects blockbuster film The Matrix, setting the stage for the release of Dark Side of the Spoon (the title a reference to the band's heroin problems) later that summer. Guitarist William Tucker committed suicide in May 1999.
Ministry were nominated for a Grammy in 2000 for "Bad Blood," but they lost to Black Sabbath and were dropped from Warner Bros. around the same time. They were also added to the Ozzfest tour, but they were kicked off before it even began because of a management change. To compound their sorrows, Ipecac Records announced three live albums were to be released with material from the Psalm 69 tour being the main focus, but they only had a verbal agreement, and when Warner Bros. caught wind of the project, they stamped it out despite already having the CDs ready for printing. In 2001, Ministry filmed a scene for Steven Spielberg's A.I. and released their contribution to the film on a greatest-hits album, appropriately titled Greatest Fits. The song received a decent amount of promotion, but the single went nowhere and the band signed to Sanctuary Records later in the year. While recording new material, they released the Sphinctour album and DVD in the spring of 2002 to satisfy rabid fans who were disappointed by the Ipecac situation. The next spring, Animositisomina was released, advertised as a return to the Psalm 69 style of songwriting and featuring a cover of Magazine's "The Light Pours Out of Me." Houses of the Molé followed in June 2004.
In September 2005 Ministry celebrated their 25th anniversary with Rantology. Jourgensen remixed such past hits as "Jesus Built My Hotrod" and "N.W.O. for the set; it also included live material, rarities, and the new track "Great Satan." An extensive tour with Revolting C**ks in tow followed. The band then released Rio Grande Blood in May 2006; the second installment in what Jourgensen promised to be a George W. Bush-hating trilogy (which began with Houses of the Molé); the album earned Ministry another Grammy nomination (Best Metal Performance) for "Lies, Lies, Lies." In 2007 the bandmembers announced they would be releasing their "final" album, The Last Sucker, by the end of the year. The 2008 compilation Cover Up examined Ministry's long history of destroying other artists' tunes, while the 2009 set The Last Dubber featured The Last Sucker album remixed. Jourgensen would move on to his country project Buck Satan and return to the C**ks over the next few years, but Ministry wouldn't lay dormant for long. In 2012 they returned with the very thrash, very angry studio album Relapse with the ironically titled live album Enjoy the Quiet following in 2013. The studio album From Beer to Eternity also appeared in 2013, honoring longtime Ministry guitarist Mike Scaccia, who had passed away after suffering heart failure while on-stage performing with his other band, Rigor Mortis. ~ Steve Huey

It would be JPP against a weaker link in most lines = right tackle
Let tuck go against left tackle which is usually the best lineman
It would be JPP against a weaker link in most lines = right tackle
Let tuck go against left tackle which is usually the best lineman
I don't want to look too far into this, but maybe they're trying to rejuvenate Tuck with a little change in scenery. I know, it doesn't make sense to give him the better lineman, but who knows.
I'm almost certain that's the route the Panthers took with Peppers in 2008, and it worked wonders.
JPP should be able to take advantage of right tackles on passing downs and he is playing the run better these days. Tuck should do well shutting down the run on the right side and give the team a push on passing downs as he'll be 1-on-1 most of the time.
Could this also have something to do with mobile QBs and a tendency to role/run to their right side? I don't know what the statistics are on that, but it seems like a logical move to put JPP on the side the QB would gravitate toward.
My goal had been to win a championship, work toward the Hall of Fame, have my jersey retired by the team and I`d go in as a lifelong New York Giant, but I`m now resigned to the fact that this won`t happen. -- Michael Strahan, just when you think you're down...
My issue isn't with JPP moving as I think he can play anywhere, but rather Tuck.
