Chad Ford Mock Draft 7.0
Elfrid Payton becomes a new name to watch; is Andrew Wiggins dropping?
Draft Rumors | 360 Draft Profiles | Top 10 Internationals | Draft Machine
We are down to the final stretch. Draft workouts are in full swing with just 16 days to go before the draft.
Believe it or not, draft boards are still far from set. Last year the Cleveland Cavaliers didn't finally decide to select UNLV forward Anthony Bennett until the afternoon of the draft. So whoever claims they know what's happening, take it with a grain of salt.
Most of the top players in the draft have just begun the workout process. None of the top four players in the draft -- Andrew Wiggins, Joel Embiid, Jabari Parker or Dante Exum -- have worked out for any team.
While workouts probably are overrated, they are part of the process, psychologically, for teams. Until those visits are done, we're still working on incomplete information. But for now, after talking to numerous NBA team sources, here's our best stab about how the draft might play out June 26.
Remember our Mock Draft is not a ranking of who we think the top players are. Instead, it's a reporting tool to convey our latest intel from NBA scouts and general managers on what each time might do in the draft. Here we go:
Wiggins, Parker and Embiid all are in the mix here. On lottery night, a Cavs source told me that they had Parker ranked highest on their board all year because of his ability to come in and make an immediate impact and believe Embiid has the most upside of anyone in the draft and fits a long-term need for them. However, the source felt that Wiggins in the end would be the compromise pick -- someone who has both elite upside as well as a player who can play (especially defensively) impactful minutes right out of the gate.
That said, if Embiid is cleared by the Cavs' doctors, and if general manager David Griffin can convince owner Dan Gilbert to be patient and wait on Embiid, I think he gets the nod here. The first question will begin to be answered on Tuesday. Embiid has finally arrived in Cleveland for a physical and workout. While Embiid certainly looked healthy enough during a workout in Santa Monica, Calif., a few weeks ago, until the Cavs' doctors green light him, we just don't know. And Gilbert is anxious for the Cavs to be a playoff team. Drafting the guy who's likely to have the least impact next season is going to be a tough sell. At the end of the day I think the Cavs would prefer to trade the pick, but unless they are getting someone like Kevin Love or LaMarcus Aldridge in return, I don't think they pull the trigger.
The Bucks appear to be intrigued with all four players here: Embiid, Parker, Wiggins and Australian point guard Dante Exum.
If Embiid goes No. 1, I think Parker will likely get the nod here. While new ownership has made it clear that they are OK with GM John Hammond fully engaging the rebuilding process, the reality is that the team needs to draft a player who can help now. Parker is the most NBA ready of the group and gives them a go to scorer who likely would be slotted to play the 4 between Larry Sanders and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
If Parker isn't on the board, Embiid has intrigued the team for a while. Given his offensive prowess (and Sanders utter lack thereof) they feel he's a good fit. Of course, as the Bucks keep breaking down tape, they keep getting more excited about Wiggins. They fly to Santa Barbara, Calif., this week to watch Wiggins workout. It will be interesting to see if that sells the Bucks on him. Exum is the wild card. The team gets him in for a workout this weekend. They'd really like to upgrade the point and move Brandon Knight to the 2. If Exum wows in the workout, he could move to the top of their board. I think he fits their biggest need.

When I got back to my office 30 minutes later I already had the tracking number saying I would have it November 8th ! Thats 7 days clear across the country. Some things never change, as there customer service is second to none. I have purchased equipment from them before and surely will again in the near future. Thanks Maxant !

Help, my 8 yr old boy is at home with a migraine today brought on by hunger. a school dinner lady stopped him from eating any lunch at all yesterday. clearly I have complained. I am very upset and angry.
Does anyone know which legal statutes can be quoted at them to stop them doing this again.
Do you all think that I should contact THE SUN ?

Re: starvation
Maybe you should post this in school dinners forum so that you get more right answers....
I don't know about school dinners (as in my country aren't any in public schools) but I believe that you should go immediately at the school's principal and complain. And of course don't give up if they say it won't happen again. Yesterday your boy, tomorrow another's mom boy... Don't let it go.

Re: starvation
Have you actually talked to the head at the school, and tried to find out the details of what actually happened?
There is often a lot more to the story than the children actually report, and you do need tofind out what actually happened, and why it happened before steaming in with all guns blazing.
I would particularly avoid going to the Sun - people who do usually regret it when they see how they themselves are portrayed.

Now that the election is over, we urge Congress and the President to get down to the business of compromise. In farm circles, estate taxes should be top of mind in addition to the farm bill.
It has been estimated that 80 to 90 percent of all American businesses are family-owned. That number climbs to over 95 percent in agriculture. In nearly every instance, families pour precious financial resources into the business to help it survive and hopefully thrive.
Once established, family businesses already have many obstacles to navigate. The average operation lasts roughly one generation or 25 years. Only 30 percent of all family businesses make it to the second generation; 15 percent to the third; and 3 percent to the fourth generation.
In many instances, estate taxes, known to most of us as the death tax, can be the final nail in the business coffin. After a lifetime of sweat equity, estate taxes can either tear apart many family-owned ventures or leave them so weak they cannot make the necessary improvements to the operation.
This is why Congress and the President must step up to the plate. Right now, estates have a $5 million exemption for individuals . . . $10 million for married couples with a 35 percent tax rate thereafter. Without action before year's end, 2013 tax rates will roll back to a $1 million exemption for individuals and a 55 percent tax rate on lifetime estate transfers above the exemption.
Many of our farms cannot take that financial hit. For our average reader with 200 cows, 150 replacements and 500 acres, the family dairy farm would be valued at $2.9 million, not including any buildings or machinery. This conservative estimate is based on values of $1,400 for cows, $1,000 for replacements and $5,000 per acre of land. Without federal action, that farm would owe $495,000 in taxes if owned by a married couple. To say the least, that is a slap in the face to our nation's hardworking farm families which are often land rich and cash poor.
The President has proposed a $3.5 million middle of the road individual exemption with a 45 percent estate tax rate thereafter. In our opinion, that's just a start. As land prices continue to escalate, Americans will need to decide if they want family or corporate farms. We fear that not extending the estate tax will eventually result in the latter.
This Hoard's Dairyman editorial appears on page 794 of the December 2012 issue.

As it turns out, not even the cast members have much of an idea. "Honestly, I don't think there are any actors on the show that would say they know what's going on or where we're heading," says Michael Emerson, who last fall won an Emmy for his role as Ben Linus, the genteel, manipulative, deadpan, recently deposed leader of the Others, the Island's indigenous people. We're talking by phone during a lull in filming the season's 12th episode (of 18) in Hawaii. "I thought when we filmed this final season that I would be able to see the end coming," Emerson continues, "that things would begin to wrap up, or the various threads of the story would begin to knit together. But the contrary has been true. The show just continues to tackle more and more new events. There's a whole new storytelling device at work this season. I can't tell where we're going, and how it will end is anybody's guess. We don't get scripts until usually the day before we shoot them, so we're always in the dark about what developments are coming."
This leads to some interesting conversations among the actors between takes. "Days like today, when we have a whole bunch of the cast together — that's when we sit around and talk about it. Especially when Jorge [Garcia, who plays portly, star-crossed lottery winner Hurley] is around, because he's sort of the primary speculator about the storyline. But everyone does it. We're all interested in the show, and we all try to solve it, too. But I have to say, none of us is anywhere near as good at it as some of the people on-line."
Emerson does touch on a few developments, however. He confirms the announcement from the show's co-creators, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, that several former cast members will be returning in some capacity, among them Dominic Monaghan (as the heroin-addled rocker Charlie Pace) and Harold Perrineau (reprising his role as devoted-father-turned-traitor Michael Dawson). He also says there will be some significant casualties. "As we get closer to the end, I guess it's obvious that not everybody is going to get out of it alive. In fact, we were talking today because there's a shocking event in the episode we're filming, and it made us all think, 'Oh wow, nobody's safe on this show.' " As for that "new narrative device" he mentions, he calls it "stunning, thought-provoking."

Got the RPD from Stan yesterday & I must say it was worth the wait! If you are in a hurry, go get one from centerfire & good luck on the warrenty work getting done!
Feel better hc?
Actually, there seems to be quite a bit of patience in this thread. I don't see where anyone expected PG to deliver in 6-8 weeks. Maybe I missed it.

That certainly is a concern if someone gets an RPD from Centerfire Systems. I believe those were made by Wiselite but I could be wrong. Although, Wiselite may still support them but I have no idea if this is true or not.
In all fairness though, let's hear from some folks (that might not have direct access to Stan) that had to have warranty work done on their PG RPDs. I expect those reports to be positive but we don't know for sure.
Trust me, if mine comes back and runs 100% I'll be the first to post the appropriate and well-deserved "kudos" to Stan. Same thing with the shorty that he's building for me now. If it runs problem free to 1,000 rounds I'll post the appropriate feedback.
Of course, if any problems are the result of moody links I certainly wouldn't expect anyone (including myself) to hold Stan responsible. The use of buggered up belts is something that he cannot control.
So, I guess what I'm saying is that FloridaAKM (or anyone else in this run) should get out there and blow a thousand rounds through it and then get back with us. Kind of a "put your money where your mouth is" thing.
I am still waiting on mine but the first one that Stan built for me works flawless! The one he is building for me now is a super shorty. I plan on taking to the range the day I pick it up. Never had an issue with any of his work.
So, I guess what I'm saying is that FloridaAKM (or anyone else in this run) should get out there and blow a thousand rounds through it and then get back with us. Kind of a "put your money where your mouth is" thing.
Let's see, $400.00 for the kit, $1250.00 for the build, wait 7 months for the build to be complete. I beleive that I have voted with my wallet so to speak. Unless you want to send me a case of ammo to burn thru for you satisfaction, I suggest you put your money where your mouth is & buy the one you most beleive in!

Wait a minute. You have $1,650 and 7 months into the build and won't spend another $200 for a case of ammo?? Hey, if you had it built only for display purposes that's okay but then you really can't speak for the long-term reliability of the weapon or the durability of the build.
"I suggest you put your money where your mouth is & buy the one you most beleive in" you say? Well, I believe that I have done just that. Stan built one for me last year and I have another build in this latest run. Why? Because, at the time, I was convinced that PG was the way to go. I still believe/hope that this is true as it does seem that the problems with Stan's builds are few. Perhaps it'll turn out that I should have gone with DSA but we may never know because I decided to toss business Stan's way instead. I still believe that he'll get my original rifle running 100% but we're currently in the middle of that process.
Hopefully my experiences will mirror bulrich's. One thing's for certain – if all you do is put your RPD on a shelf and never fire it your weapon's reliability will be 100% no matter where you bought it. All this speaks to, however, is how the build looks and NOT how it runs in the long term.
meh, Stan has had my MG34 kit since June of 2011. I am in no hurry, but I do hope to have it soon. I dont see a need to bug him about it. he always stops to talk to me.
I have a Bren and a shorty RPD he built, neither of which I have a place to shoot to test fire. My rpd is *impossible* to cock sometimes, like it binds up. Stan is aware of this and he said it needs to break in. I am fine with all that, its my fault i dont have the time or place to test the firearms. i am trying to buy my own spread of land, whic will solve the "place to shoot" problem.
I am happy so far, and if my RPD needs work, ill send it in when he has time. I do have a POS Wiselite m53 i would love him to tune up as well.
6-8 weeks during the holidays....lol. I sent this kit in the beginning of August. Maybe Stan goes on a couple week Labor day bender...who knows... He is the one who gave me the lead time. After building 200 of these, there should be no question about how long it is going to take. Besides, I wasn't mad when it wasn't done in 6-8 weeks. When we got to the point where he was telling me 20+ (after Christmas), I had enough.
As for the "impossible to cock sometimes": that isn't a "break in" issue. Being stiff or not moving smoothly may be, but being impossible to cock isn't about break in. I doubt that happened when the military in Poland issued these.
Figured I'd post an update with the latest:
My repaired RPD (from an earlier run) was delivered yesterday. Stan replaced all of the semi parts and it works fine now. Fired 100 rounds through it today and had only one stoppage due to a overly tight link. Otherwise it fed both FMJ and HP fine. No doubling or tripling and the striker fell every time the trigger was pulled. Have another 100 rounds linked up to try the next chance I get and I hope she behaves from now on. I expect that she will.
One notable change – when charging this thing before it had a pronounced step or hard spot when the belt advanced. This has now become much less of an issue and feeds a lot smoother. Not sure what was going on there but the change is welcome.
Thanks Stan! Great job! Looks like we're good to go now.
Still waiting on my shorty build but am in no hurry. It can get here when it feels like it.

Since I had to go and feed syrup today to the hive I decided to look again. This time I noticed eggs and uncapped larvae so this is a good sign. Still did not see the queen, I think she is Carl Lewis of the bee world.
My next problem is I had placed several frames of wax covered Plasticell in there, no drawn foundation just straight brand new frames/foundation. Last check I thought they were taking to them but they are not. They have actually started to attach their free form rubber banded combs to them. I worked all of that loose but they will just re-attach eventaully.
So to help with my problem do I.....
Re-wax the frames to give it and them a boost.
Let them do their own thing and wait till Spring and add a deep body on top for them to work up and on with drawn foundation. Probelm with that is I don't want a complete mess of the box they are in right now.
Find somebody willing to exchange drawn frames for new ones.
Can't replace with any other drawn frames since that would be robbing from Peter to pay Paul at this time of year. Also the bees are expanding on their free form comb and all of their stores are in them as well as eggs/larvae.
My answer is to find somebody willing to exchange but that can be tough since drawn foundation is invaluable at times.
Anyway...thanks for all of the previous advice. I have still alot to learn and to me if you don't learn something new everyday life can be boring.

Crudo is an Italian dish of raw fish dressed with olive oil, citrus, and sea salt. The beauty of a good crudo lies in its ability to preserve the subtlety of the fish flavor and bring out its richness with good olive oil while simultaneously balancing it with acid—in this case, orange juice. The best crudos have a textural component: here I use chopped bits of pumpkin seed and crunchy crystals of Maldon sea salt (worth seeking out at a specialty market or online if you've never had it).
Serves 4 as an appetizer
½ pound sea scallops
1 large orange
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chopped pumpkin seeds or pistachios, for garnish
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint, for garnish
Maldon or gray sea salt
Place the scallops in a resealable plastic bag and freeze for 20 minutes to allow for easier slicing.
Zest the orange (you will have about 2 ½ tablespoons of zest). Cut a 1/8 –inch horizontal slice from the middle of the orange. Trim off the remaining pith, then cut the orange flesh into small dice. Set aside. Squeeze the remaining orange to yield ½ cup juice.
In a small saucepan over high heat, bring the orange juice, orange zest, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes to a boil. Cook the mixture until it reduces to a syrup (about 2 tablespoons remaining), about 3 minutes. Pour through a fine mesh strainer, pressing on the zest to release its oil into the syrup. Discard the solids and allow the syrup to cool.
Toast the pumpkin seeds in a small skillet over high heat, stirring constantly, until they smell toasted and darken in color, about 2 minutes.
Using a very sharp, thin-bladed slicing knife, cut the scallops horizontally (against the grain) into 1/8-inch slices. Arrange the slices decoratively on 4 small plates. Spoon equal amounts of the syrup over the scallops. Drizzle approximately 1 teaspoon of the olive oil over each portion. Garnish with a sprinkling of pumpkin seeds, reversed diced orange, and mint. Carefully distribute a small pinch of Maldon salt over the scallop slices. Serve immediately.
Pairing: A sauvignon blanc, such as DiStefano 2008, Columbia Valley, Washington or an Australian Riesling

SMILE- it will make everyone wonder what you are up to.
Stay strong and keep looking up.
I'll have to keep this in mind.
love it! thanks for sharing

Awesome idea! Thanks. Now to go looking for a wall.....
Looks great, I think she probably figured out it would need to be hung so the screws would go into the studs. Most people are at least that smart.
I don't have that much wall space.

This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
that is so nice, drool . lol better get working on more quilts so i have a excuse to get one and it look full too
That is very nice but I sure don't have any blank wall space like that!
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
Wow. Awesome. Showed dear hubby. Believe it or not he says it is not to difficult to make. I wonder if they used curtain rods to hang on the shelving? A project for his retirement. Thanks for sharing. Piecefully Carol
That looks very similar to what Eleanor Burns has in her design room. There was a photo of it online.

I saw this on Autoblog. Even though the Mitsubishi Raider is an all new design that came out just 6 months ago, Mitsu is stopping production. Why? They only sold 492 last month. And that's with $3,000 in rebates. Dealers have a 208-day supply or Raiders on their lots. If the Raiders sales don't rise, the word is that it may be cancelled after just a year...meantime, Dodge sold over 6,000 Dakotas last month with a higher price and lower rebates. I guess there aren't enough people who want a Mitsubishi truck, even if it's a Dodge underneath.
I sort of wish my Dad looked at the Mitsu instead. I personally find my Dakota more attractive in person than in pictures, but the Mitsu is still much better looking.On a somewhat more important note...this is bad, if Mitsu goes down, then there's no Evo stateside, and I was sincerely hoping they'd find the funds to build the Eclipse Ralliart...
that seems pretty odd. i figured that the truck would do pretty well. i guess this shows why mitsubishi got out of the truck business anyway about 15 years back.

That's sad...but not surprising...The marketing on them was next to nothing and I've never seen one on the streets. It's only sad because we won't get the really cool "street raider" concept that was on the show circuit this winter.

I think Law needs Smoker and the Straw hats. Law did not have to switch bodies at all on Smoker and Tashigi. He could have killed Smoker on the spot. Law talked about getting something back. So something must have been taken from him by force. If that is true then Law will have to ally himself with Smoker and Luffy. This may also mean that the Shichibukai title and the alliance with Ceaser Crown was not voluntary. People have mentioned about stuff like this and Law's character not fitting with the Shichibukai title. There may be a bigger enemy to contend to in this arch. Switching the bodies on Smoker's team and Luffy's team guarantees (if the technique can only be undone by the user) that Smoker and Luffy will have to return to Law. Smoker is in worse shape then the Straw Hats, Law has his heart. I wonder if Law will resign at the end of this arch from the Shichibukai title once he gets what he wants?

Yeah, I feel that Law's reason for the body-swapping is a combination of SlayerX and grey_1960's answers. Remember, he told all the intruders that he wouldn't let them escape the island. If Law is really the only one who's capable of switching them back, then the body switch really is an effective "tether" right there.....
Also, recall that Law's chat with Smoker during their fight indicated that there was apparently some kind of government conspiracy going on. So I guess he's letting the marines stick around so they can expose whatever plot Caesar Crown is hatching up themselves (after Luffy's crew beat the crap out of him first, of course).....

i hope that tashigi has a diferent approach to using the smoke-DF. i cant help myself but to feel that smoker is missing the most obvious thing to do with it:
suffocating others. the way hes been using it (multiply limbs, increase reach, moving around, etc.) makes it look inferior to other logias. that is because they can do those things too, in addition to their own advantage from their logia (like magellan being poisonous for example).

^Technically, many Logia can already suffocate others (I don't think Light or Lightning can suffocate anyone, but you can definitely suffocate someone with Swamp, Ice, or Sand, and probably even Darkness). There's just no point in suffocating someone with Lava or other similar leveled powers. . Smoker simply has the blandest Logia ability.
Additionally, Magellan is not a Logia user.

^Yeah, it's pretty clear that Magellan's not a logia if you pay attention to his appearance when he activates his power. He may coat his body with poison, but he doesn't transform into it. Plus, we clearly saw Luffy damage him with his bare hands when they first fought (and this was long before he learned how to control his haki, remember).
More like "light vs. darkness and a bunch of other stolen powers", actually. That being said, while I normally dislike discussing hypothetical match-ups, I'll make an exception this time and say that I kinda wanna see how well the current Teach would fare against all 3 pre-skip admirals. I mean, we're talking about a guy who was confident enough to take on both Garp and Sengoku at the same time during the war, so for all we know, the current Blackbeard could probably take on 4 or 5 admirals at once.....

It was not about him fighting Grap and Sengoku it was about them trying to stop him from sinking the place.
Which is what he was trying to do .
A short while after that he ran from Akainu who show up by him self.
BB should be super strong maybe even the strongest person in OP world but nobody is going to be able to take on 4 to 5 admirals levels guys at once ever .
Plus just think about how BB has to use his powers to see how that makes no sense .

But yeah, Blackbeard was probably overexcited about his new ability at Marineford - the fact that he ran away from Akainu without a fight kind of proves that he was not ready to take on several admirals at once, although with more DFs it may be possible...

Yeah, upon reflecting upon that, I do think it was rather premature of me to think Blackbeard could take on that many admirals at once (plus, it makes me sound like some kind of biased fanboy! ) That being said, I'm still kinda interested in how the current Teach would fare against all 3 pre-skip admirals, though.
Anyhoo, new thread is here, guys! Come and get it!

Bill Maher: Are we sure Trig is Sarah Palin's baby? Update: Bill Maher, media critic
posted at 2:30 pm on September 6, 2008 by Allahpundit
Just asking questions, mind you, like those Truthers he once threw off his show. My capacity for outrage at his "used-car salesman speaking truth to power" shtick expired seven months ago but some of you will find this an invigorating mid-afternoon shot of outrage espresso, so I'm happy to play barista. Besides, it's useful as an insight into just how stupid and/or lazy Maher is. This rumor was convincingly debunked Monday morning and conclusively debunked Monday afternoon, when Bristol Palin's five-month-old pregnancy was disclosed. How'd she give birth to Trig four months ago, then? Who cares? The point is to impress the audience by broaching irreverent subjects, not to be coherent. Mission accomplished.
If you're looking for something stronger, try this L.A. "Progressive" smear piece accusing the governor of Alaska, famous for having political enemies on both sides of the aisle, of casually uttering racist slurs at a restaurant within earshot of other patrons. Apparently she hates Eskimos, notwithstanding the fact that she's been married to one for more than 20 years. I trust you'll find it precisely as compelling as those Larry Sinclair accusations against Obama. Click the image to watch.
Update: Video biscotti to go with your espresso of Maher out-Olbermanning Olbermann.

UTHSCSA, UTSA partner on pre-nursing program
By Will Sansom
Director of News and Information, UT Health Science Center at San Antonio
(Feb. 28, 2007)--Nursing education got a boost Feb. 14 with the announcement of a new collaborative program that will help UTSA undergraduates know what to expect when they apply to the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio School of Nursing (SON).
Nearly 70 UTSA students have joined Avanzar, (Spanish for "advance"), to tap the expertise of faculty at the Health Science Center, to interact with peers interested in nursing careers and to work on community service projects.

Housed in the UTSA Health Professions Office on the 1604 Campus, Avanzar will prepare pre-nursing students for the tough curriculum they must master at their next level of education. UTHSCSA nursing faculty hope the program will increase the number of Hispanic students in nursing school, as well as increase the overall number of registered nurses in the South Texas work force.
The Health Professions Office hosted a Health Professions Day information fair Feb. 22 at the University Center with representatives from more than 60 health professions schools who provided information to students and community members on careers and the application process.
Avanzar represents a substantial commitment to UTSA pre-nursing students by the UT Health Science Center School of Nursing. SON faculty member Adelita Cantu is at the UTSA 1604 Campus two and a half days weekly, and as funds become available, the school expects to appoint a second faculty adviser for the remainder of the week.
Avanzar is made possible by a U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration grant written by Norma Martinez Rogers, UTHSCSA associate professor of family nursing.

Funds pouring in for Waldo Canyon fire victims
Funds have been pouring in for the Waldo Canyon fire victims.
Nonprofit organizations, churches and schools are helping raise money for families and individuals in need, but many evacuees don't know how to get funding or where to start.
Pikes Peak United Way, in collaboration with the El Pomar Foundation, has raised more than a half million dollars for fire victims.
"There has been a tremendous outpouring we've seen not only here but from across the country," said JD Dallager, CEO Pikes Peak United Way.
The money raised will be given to organizations who are providing health and human services to evacuees.
There will be an application process for organizations to apply in order to receive funding.
Dallager said United Way and El Pomar will be setting up an advisory board of five to seven individuals who are very knowledgeable on the needs of the community, are very well respected and do not have a conflict of interest.
"The standards we will use for both stewardship of money and accountability in reaching folks most impacted will be at the very very highest level," said Dallager.
There will be an online version of the application, as well as a printed copy, said Dallager.
He said a public announcement on the application process will be made later this week.
First Presbyterian Church in Colorado Springs has also raised money for fire victims, collecting $146,000 in two weeks.
"We've put together an amazing infrastructure to help people and to help us process that. We're not letting out any specifics because its going to be a family by family dynamic," said Senior Pastor Graham Baird.
Baird said every penny that gets sent to the church in the name of fire relief will go directly to the families in need and that the church is going to fill the gaps where other agencies are unable to do.
"What often happens during these tragic times is that people find agencies just a flash in the pan. This church doesn't want to be a flash in the pan. We want to be involved for months and foreseeable years to come," said Baird.
Every person who was affected by the fire will get help from the church, said Baird.
"Not just members of this church, not just members of the Christ following community, but anybody in the community in need, we want to connect with," he said.

Nominations for the local award came from UTSA, San Antonio Police Department, Converse Police Department, Saint Mary's University Police Department, Shavano Park Police Department, Live Oak Police Department and Bexar County Constable's Office, among others.
Calucci was nominated for his work in charge of the UTSA Police Department investigations section. According to Hernandez, Calucci's leadership and foresight have led to the successful investigation and conclusion of numerous critical cases. He has worked with partners such as UTSA Office of Judicial Affairs and Counseling Services, among other offices.
Calucci is responsible for developing the university's Behavioral Intervention Team, a critical tool utilized to identify and work with individuals indicating a potential for violent behavior. He currently serves as co-chair of the team.
Calucci is the recent recipient of the 2008 UTSA Extra Mile Award, a University Excellence Award honoring outstanding contributions, creativity and innovation. He received the award as a proactive and productive employee who frequently offers a helping hand and receives frequent praise from members of the UTSA community.
Born and raised in Buffalo, N.Y., Calucci attended State University of New York at Buffalo. He has been a police officer for nearly 14 years, both in New York and Texas. He has served at UTSA for nearly 8 years as a police officer and detective with the UTSAPD Criminal Investigations Division. He moved to Texas in 1992 and married his wife, Kathy Calucci, in 1993. They have a 10-year-old son and a five-year-old daughter.

Sullivan County highway commissioner resigns
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - The Interim Sullivan County Highway Commissioner has informed the county he plans to retire amid an investigation into his department.
We learned Terry Shaffer will retire officially on December 23. The department is he heads is currently under a TBI investigation.
District Attorney General Barry Staubus would not comment on the exact nature of the investigation, but did tell News 5 it deals with irregularities within the highway department. "The information came to me and as a result of that I asked that an independent investigation be done by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, that investigation is ongoing," said Barry Staubus, the Sullivan County District Attorney.
Staubus tells us the investigation should be complete by February.
Shaffer was appointed as interim commissioner by Sullivan County Mayor Steve Godsey in February 2011, following the conviction of then-highway commissioner Alan Pope on official misconduct charges.

Picking up a copy of Aimee Mann's latest LP, Charmer, I was reminded yet again of why I've come to prefer vinyl over digital download for music. Even before I slipped on headphones and submerged myself in Mann's latest batch of hook-driven character studies, Charmer's cover and liner notes were already delivering tangible insight into the album's themes. A spinning dial on the cover, for instance, morphed with a turn from bearded Rasputin to wide-eyed ingenue (turn your computer upside down and look at the image at the top of the post and you'll see what I mean), highlighting the co-dependence between many of the album's characters, explaining to listeners before any formal introduction that despite the dissonance and dilemmas they'll create, these characters are inextricably linked to and reliant upon each other.
Keeping with this idea of interplay, the lyrics that are printed inside Charmer's gatefold album undulate in dynamic, "he said/she said" spirals and twists, demanding that the reader continually shift physical perspective in order to keep abreast of what the characters are relaying. Even the album's tense red-green color scheme has an ulterior motive: dig out a pair of 3-D glasses, and like a half-forgotten argument, lines and shapes that had previously seemed inconsequential will take on new significance and dimension right before your eyes.

SANTA CLARA -- Count wide receiver Bruce Ellington among the 49ers not concerned, at least publicly, whether Levi's Stadium's new grass will hold up in Sunday's exhibition against the San Diego Chargers.
And Ellington is among the players who slipped during an abbreviated practice Wednesday that prompted the original sod's replacement.
"It's just grass. Stuff like that happens," Ellington said of Wednesday's fall, which didn't result in an injury. "They'll get it fixed."
New grass was being installed Friday after the 4-month-old sod got torn up after Wednesday's abbreviated practice.
Coach Jim Harbaugh expressed similar confidence that the temporary sod will hold up for Sunday's exhibition, after which he said that grass will be replaced by a more permanent solution.
"The action's been taken," Harbaugh said. "We're refitting, regrouping, retooling. A new field is going in.
"The organization, we can count on them to do things at the highest level, and that's what we're in the process of now."
The team hasn't confirmed the fate of other upcoming events at Levi's Stadium, including two high school football games next Friday night and a Mexico-Chile soccer game Sept. 6. The 49ers' regular-season home opener is Sept. 14 against the Chicago Bears, on NBC's "Sunday Night Football."
Fellow wideout Stevie Johnson was another player who tumbled during Wednesday's practice, and although he aggravated an injury, coach Jim Harbaugh expected Johnson to participate in Friday's session on the regular training fields next to the stadium.
Several players expressed similar confidence in the new sod, which Harbaugh said will be torn up after Sunday's exhibition and replaced by a more permanent field.
"It'll be good. Grass is grass," guard Mike Iupati said.
Added running back LaMichael James: "You've got to play through whatever surface you're on. I was in Green Bay last year and it was negative-20. I feel I can play on anything."
Some thought the old sod looked worse than it felt, at least during Wednesday's session that was halted by coach Jim Harbaugh after less than an hour.
"I didn't really have any problems with the field," defensive lineman Quinton Dial said. "I didn't feel it. I saw it."
Divots indeed came up throughout the drills, especially when linemen drove their feet into the Bermuda Bandera turf that was supposed to be resistant to heavy usage.
Kicker Phil Dawson said: "It's one thing if I'm on it. It's another when big boys with size 15 cleats are on it."
On that note, Iupati indeed credited his footwear for helping him cope with the old surface: "It felt good because of cleats."
Dial, a second-year player, downplayed the grass' impact on his Sunday task, stating: "It ain't my job to worry about it. My job is to go out and play."

If we're talking about which expansion had the best storytelling, I would have to say MoP, it's been a great story so far with the Ally vs Horde, as well as the Mogu. I however really don't like the Pandaren lore.. they are pacifists, not caring about anything, they didn't build the empire themself, they just took it by conquest and had some nothing ever since.
As for the story I liked the most, it has to be WotLK, the story was okay in the game, but it was more the pre built lore around Arthas that I really loved.

Has anyone had any good luck with building hives
Has anyone had any good luck with building hives
Last edited by wheeler88; 10-20-2012 at 08:44 AM. Reason: add link
I have built 4 double deep 10 frame langstroths including the frames. all from found wood. so the cost was nothing but my time. I am still looking for some exterior oops paint to keep that cost down as well. I plan to make 3 med supers for each hive in time. still looking for the wood to make those. I also managed to get 4 nuc boxes out of the free wood.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
Have built some supers and Beesource link above does provide proper inside dimensions. However, I question the vertical height dimensions as it results in greater than 3/8 or bee space vertically between frames. Frames being 9 1/8 and dimension is 9 5/8 results in 1/2 space. Seems to encourage comb, honey and drone brood that is messy to clean. 9 1/2 makes more sense to me
Zone 3b. If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got!
I have built 50% of my boxes but find that time is my most precious commodity and I don't save enough $ making my own to justify the extra time. I do buy boxes that ihave to assemble and make a lot of my other equipment though. If you are interested in wood working why not give it a try, if not it probably won't save you much in the long run in my opinion.
The secret to saving money is get your wood for free. Get to know some building contractors and get into their scrap piles for short pieces of wood, Advantec, etc.
I have built all of mine for years, and now build them and sell with bees. Lots of fun to build, and I buy very little wood.
Also check out uTube for Videos on how to make them. Go to uTube and then search whatever you want to make.
If you have specific questions, I will try to answer them for you. Contact me at email@example.com
[QUOTE=Fishman43;860005] outside dimensions are 9 5/8 but you have a 5/8 rabbit for the frame rest. You need to measure your boxes again with your frames inside and see what your bee space really is.
Yes I know, there is a 5/8 rabbet for frame rest. I have no idea what you are talking about.
I have stacked the supers with a couple of frames in them and measured the frame to frame vertical spacing and suggest you do the same.
Zone 3b. If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got!
mgolden...Just curious, what did your vertical spacing measurements come out to.
The thickness of the top bar hanging on the rabbet, is also part of your bee space equasion, between the two boxes.. Bee space also depends on if the inner cover, (or migratory cover) is flush with the top of the box, or there is an indention in it.
Last edited by Cleo C. Hogan Jr; 10-20-2012 at 12:42 PM. Reason: spelling
I'll make the math and visulization simple. Say I put in a frame rest so that the top of the top bar of the frame is flush with the top of the super. If the frame is 9 1/8 and the super is 9 5/8 then the bottom the frame to the bottom of the super is 1/2.
If the super below is visulized the same, then the top of the frame below is flush with the top of super. So 1/2 space.
Inner covers in our climate are ver common and have 3/8 rims on both sides of them. So bee space just under inner cover is accounted for. Inner covers provide top entrance, ventilation, wood to absorb any problem moisture build up before it drips, 3/8 air insulation space on top side of inner cover.
Zone 3b. If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got!
Are we saying that 1/2 inch is too much space between frames
mgolden... I guess that is the difference. My boxes, (and Kelly's) are 9 9/16. The top bar is only 3/8 inch where it hangs on the rabbet, so you have 1/4 inch above the top bar. In other words, the top bar is not level with the top of the super, bur rather is 1/4 below.. Thus, Kelly inner covers and migratory covers are flush with the top and do not have the 3/8 inch rim that some companies have. I think the term normally used is having bottom bee space or top bee space.
If yours are flush with the top of the super, and you used a flat migratory cover or flat inner cover, the bees would glue the top bars to the top, because there is no bee space. So, your inner covers have the raised 3/8 to allow bee space above the top bars. Works great as long as you don't interchange equipment from different manufacturers.
There should be that extra 1/8 to 1/4 from the top bar to the top of the hive giving you at least 3/8 bee space.

Building your own equipment is a lot of fun! But from financial point of view it is not profitable in my opinion - depends, how much free time you have and how valuable your time is? If you buy cheapest ugliest wood in Home Depot (only option to me) - cost of materials would be approximately the same as unassembled commercial unit of comparable size. I have a lot of fun "inventing" new designs for beehive components, but if one converts it into the money, my boxes would cost probably $100 apiece. But I just very happy to work with wood - it brings me back in my childhood when I observed how my grandfather worked with plane, he was a carpenter. I already made more boxes than I needed...
Серёжа, Sergey
Adjust as you feel the need to. I've kept bees in boxes with these dimensions for over 15 years without any issue. Go figure. Guess the bees aren't that picky.
Regards, Barry
This is my first full year in beekeeping learning as I go and hives here in my area to buy is kind of expensive around $20 for brood boxes 9 5/8 cut out I put them together, just trying to see if I can save.
Without going into all the details of why. the dimensions of the frame in combination of the actual distance from the surface the frame rests on to the bottom of the box. results in a frame that sets 1/4 inch below the top edge of the box and is 1/8 inch short of the bottom of the box. when stacked there is a 3/8 inch bee space between the bottom of the frames in the upper box and the top of the frames in the lower box. I have 15 boxes with frames total that I have built from these drawings. It may be a bit of slight of hand type effect but it does work out with the dimensions as they are on the plans.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
Samaira Honey I have been keeping bees for two years know and I have made all of my equipment tops, bottoms screened and unscreened All of of my supers deep and shallow even feeders. I use a table saw and 1/4 inch by 1 3/4 staples I also use glue on all my joints frames to . I tried to make frames got about fifty before I said the heck with this and ordered frames from Western Bee Supply. I buy all my lumber from a real lumber yard Home Depot prices will send you to the poor . I can make a deep for about 4 or 5 dollars shallows for about 3 to 4.50 depends on the price of wood I used the plans from the University of Min. real easy plans to follow. Good luck on building your own equipment.
If your rough stock is nearly dry, as is plywood for example, then bee space is 1/2 inch. Another example is dry salvaged lumber.
9 5/8 is quite liberal and depending on dryness of material it will result in bee space being violated.
Zone 3b. If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got!

BAL hedged me out big in 2012 after I could have came up so so big with SF. I mean I bet Crabtree for super bowl MVP in week 14 at +4500, if he only made that last catch. ugh. Think if he made the catch I could have made 8500. Sick Sick. Dont bet on your favs. lol
Sorry I did not specify (emphasize) about the Saints. Making the playoffs last year was a surprise to me. I think the Saints making it this year, while many may feel they should, won't be essay, but I think they will. Again, my bad.
Nice post!
New York Football Giants-- improved on both sides of the ball and solidified the O line last year... Eli added weapons around him. watch out for Rueban Randle.. kids a stud, as well as his new running mate from LSU, Odell Beckham... new offensive coordinator McAdoo bringing the Packers offense.. quick hitting style.. not as many option routes as gilbride used to run.. WRs will not have to think anymore, which was their downfall under gilbride, esp randle... defensive secondary has been sured up with offseason moves.. JPP in for a bounce back year bc he is finally healthy.. one of the best coaches in the league.. Eli in for a huge bounce back season.. all adds up to a playoff appearance for the GMEN
Philly, San Fran, and Green Bay under perform
Bengals and Dolphins overachieve
Darts: 1-1-0 0 units
Good stuff. Nothing like a little football talk to get us through the all star break
Avatar challenge with sleepyj 3-0
Tony George
FADE: Kansas City
Get all over Buffalo Bills on OVER Season Win totals.....do not know if they can make the Playoffs but they will be vastly improved.
Surprise Playoff team: NY Giants - not sold on Philly and think they will actually regress this season.
Definitely agree with the chiefs.
Yes I agree as well. Alon with Philly, that was a ride for them and Chip last season that they wont be on again. Some posted Giants, Tmant you git on them. No doubt they can. They seem to do it when no one is thinking they will even win more than 9 games. Those are the years they won and all backers lose the following years. Now no one on them, silent a bit, and that division isnt what it was like in 2007. They can get this witn 9-10 wins IMO
Philly, Carolina, Chiefs, & Bengals will miss the playoffs. Seahawks will get a Wild Card spot but lose within the first 2 rounds.
Bears, Texans, & Jets will make the playoffs.
Packers will win the NFC but the AFC is up in the air.

Welcome to AURA - Acropolis Unique Residence Apartments
AURA derives from the energy which you will be experiencing as a visitor.
First and most important is the energy that flows from the Acropolis of Athens. The view to it is stunning from the living room and the bedroom as well as from the roof top terrace and the swimming pool. It also derives from the renewable geothermal and solar energy systems that were designed to insure heating and cooling, domestic hot water production and swimming pool heating in an environment-friendly way. Last but not least, positive energy is emitted from your hosts and owners who are trying not just to be accommodating but treat you as their own guests. It is only normal the mix has created the Acropolis Unique Residence Apartments.
The apartment is situated on the 6th floor. To visit Athens, it is ideally located in the area of Thission, a residential area at close proximity to all major points of interest during your stay.
Thission is actually the most appealing of all neighborhoods in the center of Athens, for visitors as well as for Athenians. It combines the serenity of the archaeological sites, the pedestrian streets, the neoclassical houses, the museums and art galleries, with the lively cafes and bars, the Athenian family walks during the weekends, and the open air craft market.
The apartment is literally 10 minutes' walk from the Acropolis, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Acropolis museum and other sites, through Apostolou Pavlou and Dionyssiou Areopagitou pedestrian streets. They are characterized as offering one the top most beautiful city walks in Europe. A variety of shops (grocery, bakery, bookstore and many others) as well as some excellent tavernas / restaurants and cafes are found at a 2minutes walk from the penthouse. The owner will be happy to suggest them to you. And if you wish to experience an open air movie theater, Athens Cine Thission has been rated by BBC as one of the 10 most beautiful cinemas in the world (open May-September).
The apartment has direct access to a private terrace refreshed with potted herbs and a cozy little corner to enjoy some nice appetizers. It also leads to the roof top terrace and the swimming pool which are shared with another AURA apartment. The olive, orange and lemon trees and the bevy of chirping birds complement the amazing view to the Acropolis, to the Athens Observatory and to the whole of Attica till the south sea coast. The swimming pool is enjoyed throughout the year as it is heated and covered during the winter season. A unique feeling no other apartment offers in Athens' historic centre.
The view to the Acropolis especially at night is stunning from the living room's sofa as from your pillows when you decide to rest after a wonderful day of exploration.
Amenities also include:
Heating and cooling through fun coils, free Wi-Fi and satellite TV, CD and DVD players. The kitchen is fully equipped with ceramic hobs, electric oven, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, cutlery, dishes and pans, kettle, French coffee maker, and toaster. Bed linen and bath towels are provided. A spacious walk in closet is designed to make your stay even more comfortable and to keep your luggage, ironing board and iron out of the way. Private parking is available for free in the building's parking lot, upon request. Finally a spacious elevator serves the 6th floor.
Your hosts, genuine, openhearted Athenians will treat you with the traditional Greek hospitality and will be happy to arrange for you tailor made day trips, in and around Athens. A number of services are available upon request at an extra but very reasonable cost, including cleaning service and breakfast served at the apartment or personal trainer and spa treatments.
6.5% VAT is already included in the price.
Airport transport or any other transport is available upon demand at an additional but very reasοnable cost.
Ev kurallarıThe guests in general must respect the property. Smoking is not allowed. Pets are welcomed upon prior arrangement. For everything you might need, I am 24 hours a day on call. The keys will be deliverd upon arrival and I will personally explain you everything you need to know for the apartment.

The location is unbeatable - a quiet side street, but seconds from the Acropolis site, museum and the adjoining metro, Easy walks to all the major sites. The flat is nice - a decent size, good bathroom, clean, well appointed. Its a raised ground floor flat, so the views either way aren't much, but you only have to turn the corner for views of Hadrian's Temple or the Acropolis.
Although this property is not the most convenient to the center of Athens, if you have business in the northern suburbs, as we did, it is the perfect spot. The neighborhood is clean, with many restaurants and shops within walking distance, including a big A/B. There is a big park with a well maintained fenced playground nearby as well, which my daughter enjoyed. The apartment itself is very large and thoughtfully stocked, with a comfortable, well-equipped kitchen. While we had trouble with one of the toilets, everything else was fine. Beds were extremely comfortable, and it was quiet at night. The building felt secure and the neighborhood felt safe. We asked for cleaning and a friendly woman called Ellie came and did a thorough job for not much money. Management was responsive to requests. The metro is a 15 minute walk away, though it is down some steep streets and they are harder to walk on the way back! Once there it is very quick into the center.
The apartments are really excellent. We stayed (3 adults and 1 infant) for 5 days. Good location-3 stops by underground to the historical centre in a good and calm district, very quite in the night, air condition works perfect, good equipment, washing machine, balcony, grill. Very helpful owner of the apartments, enough space for 2 families. Near is supermarket and farmacy. Excellent for people with small children. Internet works a little bit slowly (low speed): it's enough for searching but impossible to watch movie. We definitely would stay there next time there.
Very well equiped, with everything you need to cook and spend a few days. Very nice place!
I enjoyed the apartment very much. It is very comfortable and really well placed... and I must say (visiting much places here) that in my opinion this district is the most beautiful part of Athens. it is clean... it is green..... interesting coast - many different beaches from wide sand ones to even quite wild with rocks wonderful for snorkeling especially... quite close to Acropolis, Placa .... quite close to Piraeus (possibility of visiting some islands ) a lot of well equipped shops around... good communication... just everything perfect.
We recently stayed at this Penthouse apartment with pool in the center of Athens. The stay could not have been nicer. We were there with 6 kids and 5 adults total and the place was beyond spacious and comfortable. The roof deck with pool was the best part of the space - such a great amenity - and the direct view of the Acropolis was not bad either! The Owner was extremely helpful, and George arranged for drivers for our trip. A plus!
Very nice apartment close to all services : bakery, restaurants, pubs, and the beaches of course. You can easily walk to Lake Vouliagmeni (less than 10 minutes walk). Well equipped apartment with a pretty patio as shown on profile pictures.
The apartment was at the center of Athen. It was beautiful and it had everything what we needed for this trip. The coordination with George was funtastic. I will recommand it for sure !!!! :)
I have been in the flat for 5 nights. The situation of the flat is okay. It's a little bit far to the centre but therefore it is really quite and there is an other centre/big streets with a lot of stores really near. Still, it doesn't take too long to get to the centre (Akropolis). Wheter you can take the bus/metro and it takes you 10-15min or you take a Taxi, which is also not expensive and only takes 10mins.
The elevator is helpful, the balcony is a nice place to sit and the room are also clean and well furnished. The wifi Router is directly next to the bed but still it is slow or sometimes not even usable.
All in all it was a great stay in Athens and I would totally recommend this flat.
Beautiful appartment, clean, confortable... In a very good location in Athens, i highly recommand!!! George was very accomodating and friendly. Thank you very much :-)

Some had been admitted to the doctor's facility in a basic condition. A few Sila 17 November 2016 Hum TV Pakistani Urdu Serial demonstrators attempted to drive their way into the clinic premises by getting through a blockade set up by the police. They were scattered by policemen who Sila 17-11-2016 Episode were sent in quality. The protestors had a place with the Trinamool Congress, the Sila 17/11/2016 Congress and the Socialist Unity of India every gathering organizing shows at various focuses in time over the span of the day. They requested the abdications Sila 17 November 2016 of the State's Health Minister and the Superintendent of the doctor's facility.

Sila 17/11/2016 episode online
This is an absurd choice, a fixed decision from a trial that was a sham. We need the UPA Government to Sila 17/11/2016 completely denounce this decision and utilize all roads conceivable to get it invalidated. The decision, he said, was implied just to raise the loads of U.S. President George W.Bush who is confronting intense Congressional races. Little Sila 17-11-2016 Episode validity said the trial had little validity as it occurred under an occupation government and in a court set up by the occupation administration. Sila 17 November 2016 Amid the two-year trial, two boss judges were changed, obviously Sila 17/11/2016 in light Hum TV Pakistani Urdu Serial of the fact that they didn't take after the script, and the third one passed on the decision. Barrier attorneys were murdered amid the trial and the Sila 17-11-2016 Episode Iraqi Prime Minister was on record saying that he needed to see Saddam Hussein shot. The entire duty regarding the Sila 17 November 2016 decision, thusly, lay with the United States. To dissent would arrange shows and different projects the nation over on Monday to challenge the decision saw no Sila 17-11-2016 Episode motivation behind why the UPA Government couldn't censure the sentence and brought up that the U.S. Sila 17/11/2016 hostility of Iraq had been denounced collectively by Parliament. At the point when a journalist called attention to that the Iraqi Communist Party had respected the sentence, Mr. Karat Hum TV Pakistani Urdu Serial Sila 17-11-2016 Episode said anyone could claim to be the Sila 17/11/2016 comrade party yet he didn't think a gathering that aligned with the U.S. Sila 17 November 2016 could claim to be a comrade party.

- About Plattsburgh
Committed to the idea that students come to Plattsburgh State in order to acquire the skills of advanced citizenry, my courses focus on both the history of human beings and their environmental setting, and the construction of different kinds of human knowledge and understanding (specifically scientific and ecological) of the natural world. Students are exposed to subjects like the social construction of nature and science, the contested spaces of environmental experience, and the possibilities of a historically sensitive environmental justice.
My research focuses on the messy intersection where science, society and exploration come together to create contested cultural understandings of space. My primary emphasis is on oceanic exploration in the twentieth century. My forthcoming book, America's Ocean Wilderness: A Cultural History of Twentieth Century Exploration (Kansas, 2008) features an analysis of the work of people like Jacques Cousteau, Thor Heyerdahl, Rachel Carson and William Beebe. Its essential argument is that twentieth century explorers helped to create a cultural understanding of the ocean by borrowing from America's nineteenth century experience with the landed frontier. This understanding was, and is, mirrored in popular culture and the many ways Americans actually used the ocean; as such, the fates of both are eerily similar. My next project is a cultural history of traffic in the United States.

[quote user="JPizzack"][quote user="bigblue4417"]

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on SportsCenter Wednesday that Peyton Manning "will not push back" his $28 million roster bonus and will either stay with the Colts or be released by the Colts.

Per Schefter, the sides are dug in. Owner Jim Irsay isn't going to trade Manning, and Manning won't restructure his contract to allow the Colts to get something in return. The $28 million bonus is due on March 8. Irsay is staunch in his commitment to pay Manning if he's healthy, but he's going to have to receive medical clearance from neck surgery in order to see the money.

I'm willing to bet Colts change their tune and Manning stays. I'm sure he wants to stay anyway.
Here's the thing that bugs me:
If the Colts were to cut ties with Peyton for whatever their reasoning is, they are basically saying "Winning isn't our #1 priority right now. Saving money and rebuilding is."
And that's just not ok.
Same thing goes for Norv Turner not being fired from San Diego. That team is basically telling their fan base "Mediocrity is ok in our playbook"
How are these things right?!?! lol

It isn't about saving money. Its about being able to field a decent team. There a thing called the salary cap. If they keep Peyton and draft Luck, there will be a minimum of $55MM dedicated to one position. Peyton has a $28MM bonus due that he said he will NOT push back. Thats NOT including his salary. The #1 slot gives a minimum of $15MM. (minimum, probably more this season) We saw all the holes on that team this past season. They will not only lose all or most of their FA's, but they will be unable to sign anyone else to built their team.

They simply have to let Peyton go, or trade out of the #1 position.

It aint about "saving money".

Take to school Lunches - help with recipes
Well - I have a moderately picky eater. We eat very little packaged foods and she is not a junk food addict. She likes some veggies, loves fruits and is a meat eater. I am always in search of other kids favorite "home" lunches. Any one have some they want to pass on?
I am getting tired of making the same lunches - Cold or Hot chicken, Nitrate free Turkey or all Beef Hot Dog, Chicken Nuggets (We buy very natural stuff - like 6 actual ingredients and you can pronounce all of them. ) Left over Chinese (She loves her spicy Chicken in Garlic sauce - so she takes the left over chicken and broccoli) , PB&J, Nitrate free Salomi (she doesn't like it as much as the main stream stuff - different texture) and cheese. She always gets some fresh fruit of some sort - Grapes, strawberries (Yes - I can not believe it I am paying $4.99 for strawberries but she loves them - so we buy them), Melon and a bottle of water.
Thankfully she loves the Pizza Hut day (Twice a month) so I get two days I don't have to think about what to feed her (She thinks this is an awesome school treat and looks forward to it - along with fresh fruit and white milk). Bad enough she doesn't eat breakfast or much of one because she is not hungry at 8 in the morning. Kindergarten eats lunch at 10:50 in the morning.
Thanks, Sarah

Re: Take to school Lunches - help with recipes
I found low carb tortillas that I use to make wraps for my grandsons. Using either real chicken, turkey or other meats I spread low fat flavored cream cheese on the tortilla then lay meat down. I add shredded carrots, sprouts & guacamole then roll up and put in a reusable container. the boys also like celery w/peanut butter, carrots w/ranch dressing or cucumber sticks w/dressing. Always pack some fruit and water to keep them hydrated and happy with a 'dessert' that keeps mom happy also.

Re: Take to school Lunches - help with recipes
We usually send lunch too-when my son buys his lunch, he eats hardly any of it, which i feel is a waste. So he gets to help pick out what he wants each day in his lunch. Some creative things we've come up with (besides the typical PBJ sandwich!) include bagels-you can make sandwiches out of the mini bagels, he likes them with cream cheese and jelly or banana slices or raisins or cucumbers..., turkey/lettuce/cheese, tuna, chicken salad, etc...anything that would be sandwich worthy, just on a mini bagel. They are tiny and more finger friendly (and come in wheat too) Also use soft tortilla shells to wrap up different sandwiches, banana with peanut butter, other sandwich ideas, just doing something besides 2 pieces of bread help to change up the lunch a bit! You can do hummus with cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, etc. We also pack yogurt, carrot slices with hummus dip, cheese sticks, cottage cheese with peaches or pears...
what about packing something on a skewer (use a small straw for safety) and you can repeat fruit pieces, or chicken with veggies, etc.
You can send spaghetti or other warm favorite left overs (i know you commented on the chinese) but with warm stuff, we have a problem with it actually staying warm (my son leaves for school at 7 and eats lunch at 11, so it's not very hot by that time, even in a thermos!)
Does she like salad? You can make a salad more filling by adding chicken, turkey, etc...we make taco salad with ground turkey meat flavored with taco seasoning, then add lettuce, cheese, western or catalina dressing, black beans, and a few corn chips (fritos) He really likes this one...
Also cold pasta salads with veggies, diced chicken, etc. Hope one or two of these ideas help!
By the way, yoiu should try to get her to eat something for breakfast...even if its a smoothie shake with bananas, yogurt, etc. homemade granola, muffins, etc. involve her in the process of making it and maybe she will want to eat it? we make mini muffins, waffles or french toast sticks...they can freeze easily and be thawed each morning, search for recipes or i can send you mine, sub applesauce for the oil and whole wheat flour/bread, makes it healthy alternative,

UTSA students raise money for sick Mexican boy
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(April 5, 2007)--UTSA students are part of a group of 25 San Antonio college students working to raise $500,000 to save the life of Adrian Flores-Saucedo, a seven-year-old boy from Piedra Negras, Mexico.
A small group of students who attend St. Matthew's Catholic Church began by praying for the world around them, and then decided to embark on an effort to help the boy in desperate need of a heart transplant.
Today's headlines

- 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
Leading UTSA's efforts in the project are Kengi Sei-Hernandez, a 25-year-old graduate student; Rafael Veraza, a 21-year-old junior pre-med biology major; and Karla Allala, a 22-year-old senior communication major and employee in the Office of the Vice Provost, Downtown Campus. Sei-Hernandez and Veraza are neurobiology researchers in the laboratory of Edwin Barea-Rodriguez, UTSA associate professor of biology.
"I'm really proud of them, it's unbelievable and I hope that more students learn about this and take similar steps in helping others," said Barea-Rodriguez. "You know there's a point in life where you move from being successful to significant, and I think that both of them have shown that.
Sei-Hernandez learned about Flores-Saucedo's heart condition from his mother in Piedras Negras; the boy's grandmother works for Sei-Hernandez' family. When local medical facilities were unequipped to help, friends and family were able to arrange acceptance of the child as a charity case at Methodist Children's Hospital in San Antonio. The next problems would be to raise money for the transplant, then locate a surgeon and an appropriate hospital.
Since February, the student group distributed fliers in San Antonio asking for support. Donations started coming in, including $10,000 from George and Florence Schulgen of Kerrville, but time was running out and more money was needed.
The students were able to get an impassioned letter from Adrian's mother to former Mexican President Vicente Fox and his wife, Marta Fox, when Fox spoke recently at Trinity University. After reading the letter, the former first lady said she would assist the students in their cause.
"Right away she told us she could help with this, then she picked up her phone and started calling doctors and governmental officials in Mexico to make them aware of the situation," said Veraza.
"We went out to distribute more fliers outside to the people leaving the auditorium and were surprised to learn from the media that President Fox mentioned Adrian in his speech that night," said Veraza. The students waited to hear from Marta Fox.
After Fox' address, Sei-Hernandez and Veraza were flooded with phone calls from concerned citizens and media from San Antonio and Mexico requesting interviews with the students.
"I have not slept more than four hours a night over the last two weeks," said Sei-Hernandez. "Our members are rotating in shifts to stay with Adrian and his mother, Lizette, in the hospital, between classes and the research work we're doing in the laboratories."
Fortunately, more donations are coming. The 150-member UTSA Hispanic Students Association and city government and corporate officials in Coahuila, Mexico, have begun fundraising efforts.
"I think Adrian is a shining example to all of us, the way he is fighting for his life, the way he comes back, fighting and smiling, that gives us the faith to do this, and I'm proud to be his friend," said Veraza.
"Once you meet Adrian, you see he's a very nice boy who may not understand all the money issues involved in his case," said Sei. "We are trying to keep his spirits up. I gave him a video game and it made him the happiest boy in the world."
Donate to the "Adrian Needs a Heart" fund at any Wells Fargo Bank branch in San Antonio.

Meet the illustrious speakers and all the interesting celebrants of Darwin Day — indulge in conversations all around. Everyone is encouraged to ask these experts all the questions on their minds! We look forward to seeing you at Humanist Hall, Sunday, the 24th!
Humanist Hall is wheelchair accessible around the corner at 411 28th Street
