It's awful. It's tiring - exhausting actually. It's hard - one of the hardest things you will ever attempt to do. It's mind numbing -there's so many things you have to think about. It's painful - have you seen a sculler's hands?? Well, you don't want to hold them. Bleh. It's scary - seriousley the thought of falling in to a river full of currents, rats and who knows what would scare the s*** out of any 13yr old child!!!! But for some reason, thousands of people do it across the UK. Some people question the appeal but well, no Sculler or Rowing can explain why the stick with it. I guess you could say, after sculling 10km, you feel pretty damn good! :D !! It's like Rowing but instead of each crew member holding one blade/oar, each 'Sculler' holds two. People say Rowing is harder but once you've learned to 'Scull', you can easily convert to Rowing but if you learnt to Row first, it's like starting from scratch to begin Sculling. Also in sculling, you can have one person in a boat but you can't in rowing for obvious reasons like you'd just go round in a circle!!
Person 1 "heyy, I'm going Rowing today!"
Person 2 "Rowing? That's a sport for pussys! I'm a real man. I go sculling."
Person 1 (silence)
Person 2 "That's what I thought, dude!"
Person 2 "Rowing? That's a sport for pussys! I'm a real man. I go sculling."

Flick Kick Field Goal Kickoff

Published: 2012-06-01, by Manu Galvez.
Gameplay: flick your finger through the ball in the direction you want to kick but keep your eye on the wind which can affect your accuracy. The longer you swipe, the further you will kick. If you kick directly over the middle of the uprights, you will gain an extra life (you can attain up to 3 lives). If you kick directly through the middle of the uprights three times in a row, the ball will be On Fire. While On Fire, every goal scored multiplies your points. When missing a field goal the effect ends up.
There are three different game modes. Choose "Practice" if you want to kick the ball as many times as you want to improve your skills. Position will change with each successful field goal. "Precision" mode: aim for the greatest accuracy by kicking goals directly between the posts. The space between the posts is split into five even parts. The close to the middle, the more Precision Points you'll get. Finally, "Sudden Death" mode is the classic test of skill. No time limit, just focus and keep making kicks to add multipliers to your score. Submit your best marks on online leaderboard provided by OpenFeint and show off your skills to the whole community.
The game is set in stunning 3D graphics. PIKPOK (its developer) has done a great job with that. Any lag, not even in medium-end devices. Screentouch response is perfect. No complaints.
In a nutshell, great graphics, different games modes, intuitive controls and massive fun. Highly recommendable.

I would like to throw some love to the team that I have long-considered the Greatest Team of them all. The 1929-32 Philadelphia Athletics. I think it is time to give them some much over-due props and respect.
I am aware that I am probably the only Fever member who feels this way.
1928 A's---98-55, .641, 2nd Pl, 2.5 g behind
1929 A's---104-46, .693, 18 g ahead, (WS: W 4-1 over Cubs)
1930 A's---102-52, .662, 8 g ahead, (WS: W 4-2 over Cardinals)
1931 A's---107-45, .704, 13.5 g ahead, (WS: L 4-3 to Cardinals)
1932 A's---94-60, .610, 2nd Pl, 13 g behind
The Second Dynasty (1927–1933)
After that, Mack began to build another winner. In 1927 and 1928, the Athletics finished second to the New York Yankees, then won pennants in 1929, 1930 and 1931, winning the World Series in 1929 and 1930. In each of the three years, the A's won over 100 games.
As it turned out, this would be the Athletics' last hurrah in Philadelphia. Mack again sold or traded his best players in order to reduce expenses. The Great Depression was well under way, and declining attendance had drastically reduced the team's revenues. The construction of a spite fence at Shibe Park, blocking the view from nearby buildings, only served to irritate potential paying fans. However, the consequences did not become apparent for a few more years, as the team finished second in 1932 and third in 1933.


text: So I have a friend of mine that I go way back with. He has always liked my truck and always grips at me for not keeping it clean. I honestly don't see the point in spending so much money to keep my truck clean because I do a lot of hunting and that involves me going down a few back roads which covers my truck in dust. Well anyways a few days ago I half assed washed my truck. Mainly to get all the bugs and bird blood from the bird I hit. Well he mentioned that I should have at least put some tire shine on my tires because they look terrible which they did but I just gave him a look and said that requires more money. Well today while I am working I noticed him by my truck. I didn't both to go over and ask him what he wanted or was doing because I was at work. Well when I go off work I knew just what he did. He bought some of that tire shine and cleaned my tires. Well I didn't think anything about it and got it my truck and took off. Well a short distance from my work there is a red light and it just happened to change right before I was committed so I went to hit my brakes and I didn't have any. The sob put them on my brakes and I also found out he put it on my tread as well. Let's just say I put him in his place and made him feel yay big.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Excellent Idea!! I'm going to try that also..........when I find my fabric. ;-)
I just did the first few foundation blocks.

I know how tempting it is to forge on ahead, but I am trying to wait and start with the group. Also, I still have some Christmas stitching to do, and that all has to be done in the next 2 weeks! Then I hope I 'de-clutter' my sewing studio before I dive into this project. It will sure be fun and a learning experience come January...
hugs, Jupiter
I was so excited about this, that I quickly ordered the book and forgot to post that I was going to join. I'm in! Can't wait to get the book. We are in Texas now and my local quilting guild at home is having a workshop this winter on one of Penny Haren's other books, I was disappointed that I was going to miss it. This will be even more fun as it will last all winter.
mtngrl, is that your pooch in your avatar? I'm in love!!!
In other news, my fabric crisis is over (I know you were all holding your collective breath over that one :wink: ) and I am sticking with the batiks. I did order a cream color and an amber color to give myself a little more range in my tone and flexibility. I think I was feeling like my blocks were going to be neon-batik! They still may be, but oh well!
Looking forward to getting my Christmas projects done so that I can get started on my blocks in the new year!

Great Basin
National Park
Mountains in a Sea of Sagebrush
We call it the Great Basin, a vast area of sagebrush-covered valleys and narrow mountain ranges. The name comes from a peculiarity of drainage: over most of the area, streams and rivers find no outlet to the sea. Instead, water collects in shallow salt lakes, marshes, and mud flats, where it evaporates in dry desert air. There is not just one basin here but many, all separated by mountain ranges running roughly parallel, north to south. The landscape plays and replays a single magnificent theme of alternating basin and range - broad basins hung between craggy ranges - from the Wasatch Mountains of Utah to the Sierra Nevada of California in seemingly endless geographic rhythm.
At first glance (or even after many miles of driving) you might think of it as a monotonous landscape - nothing out there but sagebrush, a vast sea of pale green shrubs. Appearances are deceptive. As in the ocean, there is much life not immediately apparent. And above the valleys, rising thousands of feet from the sagebrush sea, mountain ranges form a sort of high-elevation archipelago, islands of cooler air and more abundant water. Here we find a rich variety of plants and animals that could not survive in the lower desert.
Great Basin National Park, established in 1986, includes much of the southern Snake Range, a superb example of a desert mountain island. From the sagebrush at its alluvial base to the 13,063-foot summit of Wheeler Peak, the park includes streams, lakes, alpine plants, abundant wildlife, a variety of forest types including groves of ancient bristlecone pines, and numerous limestone caverns, including beautiful Lehman Caves.
On the Edge of the Desert
The Snake Range provides a good example of biogeography, the relationship between living things and the landscape. As elevation increases, the climate changes, creating habitats for different plants and animals. During the last Ice Age, glaciers sprawled across the high peaks. The air was cooler, allowing forests of bristlecone and limber pine to grow on the valley bottom, along the shores of long sinuous lakes. The largest body of water was lake Bonneville, of which the Great Salt Lake is today a shrunken remnant. About 15,000 years go, its waves lapped a beach just 3 miles from the current park boundary.
That changed around 10,000 years ago, when the climate turned warmer. Glaciers melted, lakes dried up, and the desert plants we see today invaded the desiccated valleys. The Snake Range became an island surrounded by desert, a refuge for temperate-climate dwellers. For many organisms with no means of transport, the desert basins present impassable barriers. These species are cut off from others of their kind, isolated, to develop unique adaptions, as surely as though they were on islands in a real ocean.
A Land of Lakes and Forests
Close beneath the summit of Wheeler Park, a bit of the Ice Age exists in the form of a small glacier, the only one of its kind in the Great Basin. A mere token, it calls to mind the powerful glaciers that capped the Snake Range only a few thousand years ago. Evidence of glacial activity is easy to find. Piles of glacial debris - boulders, sand, gravel - form mounds and ridges. Sparkling Teresa and Stella Lakes occupy hollows gouged by ice.
These were alpine glaciers, not the huge continental ice sheets that enveloped the northern part of the continent. Here, ice never reached the valley floor. Instead, it melted at an elevation of about 9,000 feet. You can see this in the shape of the Baker Creek drainage. Above the melting point, glaciers plucked and carried bedrock, widening and smoothing the mountain slopes. Below the melting point, cascading streams cut sharp-sided canyons.
The Underground World
Lehman Caves (a single cavern despite the name) extends a quarter-mile into the limestone and low-grade marble that flanks the base of the Snake Range. Discovered about 1885 by Absalom Lehman, a rancher and miner, this cavern is one of the most richly decorated caves in the country, a small but sparkling gem.
What we see today began millions of years ago. The climate then was much wetter than it is now. Rain water, turned slightly acidic by seeping past surface vegetation and humus, found its way into hairline cracks deep in the native limestone. Trickling downward, the water dissolved the stone, enlarging the cracks, eventually reaching the water table. There it collected in sufficient quantity to create whole rooms. At one time, an underground stream flowed here, leaving behind tell-tale ripple marks.
Eventually the climate turned drier; water drained from the cave, leaving smooth walls and hollow rooms. Then came the second stage of cave development. Small amounts of water still percolated down from the surface. But now, instead of enlarging the cavern, the mineral-rich fluid began filling it once again. Drop by drop, over centuries, seemingly insignificant trickles worked wonders in stone. The result is a rich display of cave formations, or as scientists call them, speleothems. Lehman Caves contains familiar structures such as stalactites, stalagmites, columns, draperies, and flowstone, along with some interesting and delicate rarities.
Lehman Caves is most famous for the rare and mysterious structures called shields. Shields consist of two roughly circular halves, almost like flattened clam shells. How they are formed remains a subject of controversy - another of the pleasant mysteries to be found in the underground world.
Centered on Nevada but extending into neighboring states, the Great Basin stretches from California's Sierra Nevada Range on the west to the Rockies of Utah on the east. The region is one of high, silent valleys, numerous mountain ranges, and few rivers. Great Basin National Park protects the southern Snake Range, near the Utah border east of Ely, Nevada.
"The Parachute" and other features make touring Lehman Caves an unusual experience.
Helectites look like forests of chow mein noodles.
Aragonite grows clusters of snow-white needles.
Cave popcorn, looking like its namesake, adorns many walls.

Hands feature on many gravestones and are usually shown clasped, pointing, praying or blessing.
Of these, hands with pointing fingers are perhaps the most common. Some hands point skywards, and some downwards. The direction doesn't indicate, as some may presume, the direction in which the deceased was headed!
Hands with Fingers Pointing Upwards
The upward pointing hand symbolises the reward for the righteous, the pathway to heaven or confirmation of a life after death. Despite having photographed hundreds of headstones in Canterbury, New Zealand, I have yet to find this symbol.
Hands with the Finger Pointing Downwards
On its own a hand pointing downwards can symbolise mortality or sudden death.
When a hand with an index finger pointing downwards appears with a chain, this symbolises the hand of God plucking a family member into heaven. Often the link being plucked is broken.
Sometimes the downward pointing hand is shown as coming out of the clouds, depicted by spirals or swirls.

I have heard good things about them...JJ
What are your opinions on the Bodygaurd 380?
I have heard good things about them...JJ
Does anyone know if the trigger pull is lighter than the old sigma 380?
I use one for CCW.....carries in the front pocket nicely, Desantis holster, not too heavy.....can't compare trigger pull to the old Sigma, because I never shot one, but I will say that I don't think the trigger is too bad on the Bodyguard, compared to say, to the Ruger counterpart, or a Walther PPK...it's double action, and long, about what you would expect....the laser is fun to play with once in a while, but unless you want to try to scare someone with it, it's useless....by the time you turn it on, it's over....I think, a little over priced, for what it is.......it's snappy, because it's small, but it seems to eat ammo fairly well.....I trust it, I carry it, but I wouldn't purchase another one....it's not the type of gun, that you take to the range, and put thousands of rounds through.....I purchased it, because it fits my needs, since I really don't care for OWB or IWB holsters, and I always tuck my shirts. I am pretty much a Beretta guy, but those are too hard to conceal, although I could carry my 84fs, if I didn't tuck my shirts. I would give it an 80 out of 100.
The Bodyguard and the Ruger LCP are similar, both 380 both small, both light. The good thing about these guns is the size, they hide well. The bad thing is they are so light they tend to hurt your hand if you put a lot of rounds through them. There is a Crimson trace laser made for the Ruger LCP that fits and looks like the body guard laser except all you have to do to turn it on is point it and squeeze your hand a little, a much better system.
I carry a stainless Walther PPKS for several reasons. They are small so they hide well but they are all steel so they have enough heft that they are fun to shoot. They are very accurate and and well made. I also have a crimson Trace laser on it.
There are many other guns to choose from and just as many people that will tell you they would choose this gun or that gun. Get something you enjoy shooting and can shoot well and you will be happy. Find a shooting range talk to some people and see if you can try a few guns out. It can't hurt.
I just bought one it is not very accurate. I would not trust it.
i had a bg 380. bought one day, shot it the next, and sold it the next day
I use to own one, good gun. Ended up selling it for financial reasons. Still own my S&W SD9, and recently picked up the new M&P9 Shield.

Comentarios de otras propiedad de este anfitrión
- central location
- big enough for up to 4 people
- bedroom was clean
- it wasn't cleaned up when we arrived
-- there was burned in smudge on the stove
-- there was some yellow slime in the fridge
-- in the whole rooms was concrete or dryed paint falling of the walls - and every day it has gotten more
- very big lack of communication
-- after arriving we had to phone Christian to get the code for the door key and the WLAN
-- we mailed him one week before our journey started about the equipment in the appartment (what we have to take with us and what is provided), but we got his response after 3 days when we've been there already
When we arrived, we immediately informed him about the problems, but his response was only "I'll talk with Christina about that ...." He didn't do anything about this things.
- the bathroom is very tiny. You can almost shower when you sit on the toilet
- most of the chairs at the desk where broken, so if you wanted to sit there, it could happen that it'll completely break
Good location. Quiet place. It wasn't clean enough. Plenty of food out of date in the kitchen.
It was a really nice holiday, the house is a bit small (only for 2 people) around 25 sqm i would say, but if its not cold and you can go outside like I did, its a great place to stay! drink some wine at the sunset, have breakfast and dinner a few meters away from the sea, the beach seems to be private so you cant have a long walk in there, there are lots of obstacles but you can run or go walkig to the woods which are really close. Theres also a hotel with a spa nearby,a bit pricy but good and a nice really restaurant with view to the ocean at the next intersection in case you don't want to cook (7.5 kms to the supermarket), if you do there are pans, and fridge, etc in the house.
I didn't meet Christian in person but the house was clean and everything we needed was there, even a radio, so you can bring cds or may be an aux cable.
This is a different type of holidays really nice for relaxing and for doing nothing but chillin. Everything went as expected, thanks!
A cosy, comfortable beach house, if you want to wake up with waves sound and quiet peace, then this is your spot!
It was a very nice stay at Skodsborg beach. The cottage is placed perfectly just 10 meters away from the water, and even the weather was perfect for a great summer holiday. The neighbourhood is exclusive, and you can enjoy the view on the impressive villas around best when you take the kayak. - Nevertheless, you need to like your accompanying partner very much when staying here, because the space is really limited. There is less room to place your luggage or clothes. And the tiny little kitchen's equipment could be cleaner. - However, the outdoor shower giving hot water is a great experience we really enjoyed every morning, also the nice terrace with the great view on the øresund and Swedish coast. - Service and fulfilment of our appointments were perfect.
Christian was very helpful and responsive. The check-in process was easy and the location was great - walking distance to the centre old town, but actually situated close to the meatpacking district which has a great vibe.
The apartment was suitably stocked with linen and the pantry had a good assortment of items (always good to find seasoning!). The only negative for the property was the bathroom, which I am reluctant to describe as a negative. It's a traditional bathroom, which for those unfamiliar with it found it slightly challenging to use. The shower is above the toilet and basin, we didn't know how to get the top showerhead working, which meant that we had to use the handheld showerhead which was a little awkward in such a small space.
Overall, it's a great apartment and we would stay there again.
Veldig fin tur til København nå i romjulen. Vertene har vært supre og hjelpsomme, og leiligheten var veldig koselig. 15-20 minutters gange til Tivoli var helt perfekt. Kan anbefale denne leiligheten.
Sentral leilighet. kort vei til de fleste serverdigheter.

<p>A free-spirited queen of the fashion world blends the beautiful and the bizarre in a one-woman back-to-nature movement. </p>
The body paint revival is certainly something to be celebrated. We like to think we had a hand in popularizing the trend way back in March of 1968, but in truth, it is a pastime that belongs to the free spirits of the late '60s and early '70s, who, completely whacked on the best San Francisco acid around, wanted to wear their (literal) kaleidoscope vision of the world on their sleeves.
It's been reborn in 2013, albeit with less sunshine acid. Sports Illustrated made its mark this year with Kate Upton and so did we, with our latest incarnation of Pert Plus' Animal Instincts shoot. But our inspiration came from way back in January of 1971, when we courted a countess into the wilderness and stalked the wild Veruschka:
Countess Vera Gottlieb von Lehndorff—she was born to Prussian nobility—is publicly known by the single name Veruschka, but is, perhaps, best remembered as the writhing subject of David Hemmings' photographic attentions in the movie Blow-Up. A top model, she poses in or out of high-fashion ensembles (for the camera of Franco Rubartelli) with equal zeal. "For me, nudity is something natural, almost spontaneous," she says. "I become aggressive and proud when I'm nude." Showing she indeed has reason to be proud , Veruschka—adorned in little more than some imaginatively applied body paint—and Rubartelli have produced a striking Playboy pictorial.
Painted to portray the untamed creatures with which she's so often compared, Veruschka blends alluringly—and chameleonlike—with her environment. But, unlike them, she's completely at ease when caught by the photographer's critical eye. "The camera," she says when asked to explain the unself-conscious image she projects, "is my friend."

Round 1: Jonathan Cooper OG North Carolina
Absolutely need to fix the inside of the line. Even if Boothe is re-signed, Snee will be declining any day now, and I for one do NOT want to see DD play LG ever again...
(if Cooper is not there, pick whichever of Werner, Okafor, or Ansah is actually available... that would also be a great value for the pick)
Round 2: Arthur Brown ILB Kansas St.
I'm going to keep rolling with this pick. Good mix of athleticism and character. Still would need to beef up to be a true inside linebacker in a 4-3, but we have Connor around for a year so he can adjust to the NFL. Probably won't see him much as a rookie, barring injury.
Round 3: Darius Slay CB Mississippi St.
I'm officially off the Bennie Logan bandwagon now that we have Cullen Jenkins in the rotation there. At least as a 3rd round pick anyway. Anyway, I stole this pick off of Kruunch's mock, and I really like it. I know we've basically re-signed all the CBs that have played for us recently (I'm still waiting for the McQuarters signing personally ), but we need to get younger at the position...
Round 4: Sean Porter OLB Texas A&M
A good LB who has been working on coverage, has GREAT football IQ, and athletic to boot. Not as great at pass rush, but since PF never blitzes that shouldn't be a problem. His value didn't look great earlier on in college because he sucked in a 3-4 system, but was decent-to-good in a 4-3 front.
Round 5: D.C. Jefferson TE Rutgers
Listed as a poor-man's Martellus Bennett, which we could use now that said Bennett is on the Bears. More of a blocker than a receiver, which again is what we need since Myers is piss poor in blocking.
Round 6: Damion Square DE Alabama
A versatile backup DL that can play anywhere on the line really and has experience in both 3-4 and 4-3 fronts. Has played 3T, 4-3 DE, and even NT strangely enough at times.
Round 7: Tyrone Goard WR Eastern Kentucky

Props to Tdawg for pointing this one out to me. Developmental project to be sure, but enough of one that our OL coach scouted him out.
Waiting for everyone to post their negative feedback... COME AT ME BROSIUSES!

This Dolce Satin A-line designer wedding grown will stop hearts–and the show. This dress is crafted with a truly unique pleating throughout the bodice that flows down both the front and the back of the skirt. The drama doesn't stop there as this beautiful gown comes with a detachable encrusted beaded belt that highlights every figure and waistline.

Where's a reliable website for the shows at the Asheville Civic Center?
Googling gave me Mike Kent Shows and their dates are wrong.. Can't even find it on the Civic Center's site. Do more than one organization do gunshows in Asheville?
So the show is Sunday and Monday?? Odd, I would have thought Sat and Sunday.
I wanted to go because it'd be the 1st show since I really started learning and investigating about handguns.. for a little guaging of gunshow pricing for one reason.. Others being to drool all over the guns I wish I had. hehe

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .
[Note: The tags for the various schools are not definitive as many books span multiple traditions, etc. They are meant to use as a starting point for exploring this collection.]
The Inner Science of Buddhist Practice
Vasubandhu's Summary of the Five Heaps with Commentary by SthiramatiThe Inner Science of Buddhist Practice contains translations of texts by two historically important Indian Buddhist scholars: Vasubandhu's Summary of the Five Heaps and Sthiramati's commentary on Vasubandhu's root text. These works present the traditional Buddhist analysis of ordinary experience and provide rich resources for studying Buddhist and Western interpretations of the psychology of spiritual development.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
And I'm afraid to look all the way thru. I glanced at the first 10 or so pages and felt a hole burning in my checkbook.
Bad Spellers of the World
LOL I got mine yesterday a told DH I want a bolt of each!!!!!
I think they must have finally given up on me. It's been a while since I've ordered from Hancock's but I sure did enjoy their catalog.
No one has ever become poor by giving. - Anne Frank
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Finally got mine too!
Wozers... that's a LOT of fabric to choose from.
I love looking through this catalog. I haven't received one yet, maybe because I haven't ordered from them recently. I'll wait a couple of days to see if I get one. If not, I'll request one. Thanks for the suggestion, auntpiggylpn.
I requested one quite a while ago and am still waiting. Got tired of waiting so checked out the online version, but it isnt the same as the paper version.
Quilt outside of the box!
Oh yes I just got mine the other day and it was like Christmas for me. I saw several things I think I can't live without. I was especially excited to see that Laurel Burch cat fabric was coming out again! So much fabric, so little time.
Another thing I noticed is that some prices finally seem to be creeping down just a tad. Seems to me most fabrics (except batiks) were just under $10 per yard and it wasn't so long ago that I was seeing $11 so maybe out of control cotton prices are finally under control. Either that or the manufacturers realized we'd quit buying fabric when it was priced at $11, $12 and up.
My DGD use to cut the fabric squares from the magazine and glue to paper to make her quilts. She then would present it to me and say sew this one Mamaw! Every time I see a Hancock magazine I smile thinking of the fun times she had making special quilts on paper.
Got fabric?


text: Hey everyone, just wanted to take a minute and thank everyone who's helped out the site by clicking the "contribute" button that you see in the top-right corner of the site. Thank you! Like I say, You're all RockStars! Help the site - get more features - more to come I plan on introducing more and more features to those packages in the very near future too, it already allows for a bunch of extras and I'll see what else I can kick in. This site is getting very expensive to run each month, and these things help a lot. Have you gotten any value from the site? So I just humbly ask that if anyone has gotten any value out of this site, saved any money on a repair that was unneeded or saved money on diagnostics, or anything, consider helping out the site with a Gold or Platinum sponsorship. My goal is to become a pre-eminent automotive site on the web, one that makes all of the pretenders stand up and take notice, that's going to require a lot of work and a significant amount of capital to get going. So again, thanks to everyone who's contributed to the site. I'll be having more and more time over the next few weeks due to a recent decision by my employer, so I'll be around more to help answer questions, blog, and goof off in general! Thanks everyone!!!

Workout Watchdog Nonprofit Cautions Physically Challenging Program Is Not Suitable for All Fitness Levels
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (Nov. 13, 2013) – The CrossFit craze has now hit the mainstream with more than 7,000 gyms (or "boxes"), 35,000 accredited trainers, and 10 million participants worldwide. The increased popularity of CrossFit prompted the American Council on Exercise (ACE) to commission an independent study to evaluate the effectiveness of two popular CrossFit workouts.
"Fitness seekers are often enticed by the results touted by popular workout programs, and the results demonstrated by dedicated "CrossFitters" often present such results," said ACE Chief Science Officer Cedric Bryant, Ph.D. "Based on the study results, there's no doubt that CrossFit can offer an effective workout option that burns calories at a high rate."
In the study, researchers from the University of Wisconsin, LaCrosse began by selecting 16 healthy, moderately to very fit female and male volunteers between the ages of 20 and 47. The subjects were asked to familiarize themselves with two popular Workouts of the Day (WODs). The "Donkey Kong" incorporates burpees, kettlebell swings and box jumps, while the popular "Fran" consists of thrusters (a front squat into a push press with a barbell) and assisted pull-ups. For both, the goal is to complete all repetitions in the shortest amount of time possible.
All subjects first underwent a treadmill test to determine maximal heart rate (HR) and maximal aerobic capacity (VO2 max), with ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) assessed at the end of each stage.
Exercises were then performed three times, with the number of repetitions decreasing each time. During the first round, each exercise was performed 21 times, the second round 15 times, and the final round nine times.
HR was monitored throughout and RPE assessed after each round. Additionally, an overall RPE was taken at the end of the workout session, while blood lactate concentration was tested at the beginning and end of each CrossFit workout.
Researchers found that males burned an average of 20.5 calories per minute while females averaged 12.5 calories per minute.
Heart-rate responses were an average of 90 percent of maximum heart rate (HRmax) throughout the workout. Given that fitness industry guidelines suggest a training range of 64-94 percent of HR max to improve cardio endurance, both CrossFit workouts met the mark.
VO2 also increased immediately and slightly with subsequent rounds averaging at 80 percent of VO2max, indicating the subjects were exercising well above their anaerobic thresholds and at the higher end of industry recommendations.
"Like any type of high-intensity physical exertion, CrossFit workouts place high demands on the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems and present a risk of injury," Bryant said. "One type of exercise programming will never be appropriate for all individuals. Participants who have the desire, skill set, and physical capacity to engage in CrossFit workouts can expect improved fitness and performance levels while engaging in a relatively safe and effective training method if proper exercise principles and techniques are followed."

Footy's back and almost as we knew it. Months of spectator inactivity in the Southern Hemisphere eased last night as the Super 15 worked its way back into our consciousness.
It was probably a hard-sell here because the T20 cricket in Wellington must have connected more with a sporting audience than two tail-end Charlie Aussie sides duking it out in Melbourne.
Rugby's red-carpet opening night was over the Ditch as the Rebels hosted the Force, probably as a marketing ploy to connect the city to the upcoming mid-year visit from the British and Irish Lions.
That tour has messed with the Super 15 programme again and we will go through the season with lopsided points tables and the dopey system of awarding teams four points for each of their bye rounds.
But there is novelty in some of the competition variations, innovations which will test the eyesight, nerve and courage of the men in the middle.
If a referee suspects, or his assistants believe, there has been some piece of foul play which they did not pick up initially, they can call for a replay on the big screen to check out that hunch. The referee will then scrutinise the footage while fans will no doubt convey their support or condemnation.
That is the extent of the altered review powers for the referee and his assistants but the television match official (TMO) has been given an extended brief.
The TMO can now be asked to inspect the two previous phases in footage leading up to a try, to see if there has been any obvious infringement.
Referees will also ask players suspected of concussion to undergo sideline assessments before they are allowed to return to the field.
Sanzar authorities want three areas scrutinised more this season in in their bid to have a game which is cleaner and more widely understood.
Front rows will be told to bind straighter without delay, cheats in the tackled ball area will be walloped and offside lines will be inspected more.
Angus Gardner was the ref in the gun last night and Andrew Lees will be centre-stage tonight when the Brumbies and Reds battle.
The New Zealand sides, except the bye-tied Crusaders, will roll into their official work next week with the advantage of more fine-tuning after absorbing this round.
To these eyes that will be the real start of the series.

Once, I received the product in the mail, I immediately begain taking it and within 2 days, I responded back to having no longer the pains in my legs! Although this product does not claim to help diabetics, it has me and I have told my doctor so that others may receive the same possible experience I have!! I no longer can be without this product!

My wife does not have diabetes and her brother has level slightly above normal. After taking the tablets, the brother experienced a return to normal and has been taking for the last three to four months. He has also recently recommended it to a neighbour. Let's see what is the result. It is also good to maintain our weights as the sugar is not accumulated in our body. I also notice a better feeling after meals. Thank you for such a good product.

I have taken one capsule with the two heaviest meals of the day for the past two years. This has helped to keep my blood sugars in the normal range. I went without for a month to see if it made any change and of course it did. I would totally recommend this product. The softgel capsules work much better than the powdered cinnamon capsules that you can buy.

I read about cinnamon's benefits for control of blood sugar and triglycerides in Dr. Perricone's book on weight loss. New Chapter is the brand he recommended because of its use of cinnamon verum from Ceylon and Burma, so I was glad to find it for so much less than I had paid in the local health foods store. Of course, the price has just about doubled since my first purchase, so I'll know the value better after my next blood work.
It works

This product is more expensive but it contains the true cinnamon which is more costly and lower toxicity. The full spectrum effect is good. I feel more energize and less fatigue. This is my second bottle. Helps to relieve arthritis for my mum's joint pain.

Obama's Sequester Cuts Hit D.C. Visitors Hardest of All
Original post made by Free Citizen, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Mar 20, 2013
The vote was just one of a series of high-profile votes the Senate was taking Wednesday afternoon as it plowed toward passage of a bill to fund the government through the rest of this fiscal year.
President Obama canceled the tours earlier this month as one of the casualties of the budget sequesters, setting off a chorus of complaints from Congress and the public.
Sen. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican, offered an amendment to free up $8 million money to keep both the White House and several national parks open on their regular schedules.
They defeated Mr. Coburn's amendment on a 54-45 vote, with nearly every Republican voting to reopen the White House and with almost all Democrats voting to back Mr. Obama's decision.
Cowed Democrats, obviously under orders from their fearless leader in the White House, voted in lockstep to defeat the amendment. They argued with a straight face that there are more important issues facing the country and that withdrawn funding for science research, continued food stamp assistance, foreclosure assistance, and meat inspection are more important concerns than whether people get to visit the White House.
Mr. Coburn had only harsh words for the Democrats: "What can be more important than my constituents spending hard-earned vacation money to come to Wash DC and then be denied a view of the White House interior? People get sick from bad meat all the time, then they get over it. Children on food stamp assistance need to stop whining and find parents to better support them. And where has scientific research gotten us when scientists haven't even been able to prove yet that dinosaurs co-existed with Adam and Eve?"

You're right, FC. Why on earth should Republicans be worried about sequester contributing to the gutting of Head Start Programs all around the country? People who have their kids in Head Start don't vote Republican. And their kids don't vote at all! Screw 'em.

Forest, those kids are presumably offspring of dems in HeadStart, no? If so, they are lucky just to be alive, considering the support dems provide for abortion mills. I guess some had to survive, otherwise there wouldn't be enough mind-numbed, low information voters to blindly follow failures like obama.

Teen Book Club: Discover the Trilogy that Miley Cyrus Loves — And Will Make You Say Twilight, Who?
If book series like Twilight and Harry Potter made your love for reading grow - don't lose momentum now that they're complete. Teen has a reading recommendation that is just as addictive and even more scandalous than those two series combined. Run, don't walk, to your local bookstore (or library) now and pick up all three books in the Wake trilogy by Lisa McMann.
These paranormal romance thrillers (Wake, Fade, and Gone) are about 17-year-old Janie who somehow gets sucked into strangers' dreams. At first it's fun seeing the crazy things people dream about, but then she starts getting pulled into nightmares - including those of her boyfriend. And, she's not just watching the drama unfold, she's actually a part of it too!
Sounds like a must-see movie, right? Well, Paramount Pictures thinks so and currently has Miley Cyrus attached to play the part of Janie. Miley certainly is living up to the hype that she doesn't want to be tamed with this much darker and edgier role than you're used to seeing from her.
Find out more about the Wake trilogy on Lisa McMann's Website and let us know what you think! What other books are you reading this summer?

Every Mother Counts
August 2009. Vogue magazine had a profile on Christy Turlington Burns. Mother. Director. Activist, and yes, something about being a Supermodel, too. What struck me most in reading this article was her passion for the issue of maternal health and the fact that she was using her name and influence for a greater good.
After her own experience of giving birth with complications, she had chosen to bring greater awareness to the issue by directing and co-producing No Woman, No Cry, a documentary about maternal health. It tells the compelling stories of at-risk pregnant women in four parts of the world (Tanzania, Bangladesh, Guatemala and the United States).
Moved and inspired by her message and by my wife's life-threatening experiences giving birth to both my sons, I pondered how Starbucks could support this profound project – to bring a greater spotlight on the conditions and complications surrounding childbirth worldwide and to help reduce the hundreds of thousands of women who die every year as a result of inadequate care. One of the U.N.'s Millennium Development goals is to reduce maternal mortality by 75% by the year 2015.
The magazine led me to the organization Every Mother Counts, which Christy had co-founded with her executive director, Erin Thornton. After gathering additional research material, my wife, Andrea, and I shaped it into a formal proposal that I shared this with several of my colleagues on the music and entertainment team. It quickly found its way to Howard Schultz, who was himself inspired by Christy's cause and reached out to her. A follow-up phone call was set.
An enthusiastic meeting of the minds ensued between Starbucks, Christy and her co-producer, Dallas Brennan Rexer. We discussed further ways to raise awareness. Starbucks chose to help support it by creating a Starbucks compilation CD, loosely patterned after our Sweetheart compilations. For those CDs, we asked some of our favorite artists to cover their favorite love songs. In this case, we'd ask musicians who were also mothers to write an original song or to cover a song around the theme of motherhood.
We made a list of some of our favorite artists and musician/mothers. I sent our list to Christy, who told us who she knew, who she'd met and added a plethora of her favorites as well to it. Then she wrote personal invites to each, asking for their participation.
The working title was Mothers for Mothers, until my colleague Holly Hinton suggested we change it to Every Mother Counts. A sharp idea, as it was both all-encompassing and an obvious nod to the compelling name of Christy's organization.
It was also decided that we needed to make an overwhelmingly huge statement with our donation message. So $8 from the sale of each CD sold at participating Starbucks stores (at $12.95 retail) will be donated to CARE, in association with Every Mother Counts, to support maternal health care worldwide.
Christy brought the same passion and enthusiasm to the CD project as she did to her other, more serious efforts. We at Starbucks are incredibly lucky to have her as a collaborator in this endeavor.
The CD is in stores now and is an immediate way to help this cause for mothers worldwide (and also makes a great gift for Mother's Day). For more information on how you can help raise awareness about maternal health and take action please visit: Care.org and Everymothercounts.org
And stay tuned for the second of three parts regarding our Every Mother Counts CD. Next week: The story behind the songs on the compilation.

I hope that some of this money goes towards the initiative to be sure that there is a midwife for every mother. Health systems that use midwifery to provide care for the vast majority of mothers free up resources to provide medical and surgical care to the minority of women who truly need it - and midwifery care can often prevent complications by IDing moms with issues early enough to change the course of a pregnancy.
- inceptionend
We choose to donate our lives to such an issue partiallly for we seeing it happened around us. For me, not untill I see this news, I did never care maternal heath issue. If convenient and available, will you offer me more related materials of maternal health, like some vedio, articals, and I really want to know what people are doing on maternal health, and to know what I can do.
- julienac
This is a great way to honor our own mothers who risked all for our birth. My Mom had a harrowing time with each child until her third at which time we almost lost them both. Now, through the development of early treatment and care, the Rh factor which endangered them and myself on the birth of my two children, can be prevented. May the sale of this music help to spread this and other medical treatments for expectant mothers and their babies around the world.
- hundkatie
Between Starbucks' support of this organization and others, such as Planned Parenthood, it is clear to me that Starbucks does not value innocent human life. I will no longer go to Starbucks and you are losing customers who do a little research to find out what organizations you back. I pray for all who support this and that they may have a change of heart.

text: Hello from Indiana. I'm working on my Techicians license and plan on installing a dual band mobile unit in my Silverado. Can any of you offer any advice with regard to installation issues. I am leaning towards the Kenwood TM-V71a for the radio and have not yet decided on the antena. I'm considering mounting the main part of the radio under the passenger seat and the faceplate on the dash. I want the best signal I can get, so I plan on drilling a hole in the cab roof for the antena mount. Thanks Vernon

Trip report. John Muir Trail. 2013.
So ever since I saw Reinhold Metzger about 4 years ago when we were both out hiking the JMT at a normal pace of around 14 days, I have wanted to do a "fast pack" on the JMT. I met him as we were going up Silver pass I think and I remember talking to him for a moment about his record. I didn't really understand how he had done it, but he then encouraged me to go and break his record.
I had been gone for two years serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints in the country of Panama where I learned the Spanish language (this information comes in handy) and hadn't backpacked for 2 years until this summer, so I was excited to get some trips under my belt. Before going on this one, I did a couple trips with my family.
I didn't set out to break any records, I just wanted to finish the trail in less than 6 days, that sounded fairly reasonable after seeing a trip report from Mark Davis who completed the trail in 5 days 5 hours and 18 minutes, according to his report.
So to say the least, I didn't really know what I was getting myself into, and had never done a "fast pack," I just wanted to push my limits and see how far I could go alone.
So I set out from Whitney Portal at 9 30 AM with my dad who had taken me and was planning on hiking with me some of the way up to portal. I was up at Whitney before 3, ate some snacks, and then ran down to trail crest and my goal was to summit Forester that night and stay in Vidette meadows. I ended up getting forester at 12 midnight and tried to make it down to Vidette but only made it to the tree line, pulled my sleeping bag out and slept quickly.
The next morning I got up at 6 30 am feeling lightheaded and nauseous I guess from not acclimating to the altitude and headed towards Glen Pass. It was overcast and drizzling which also affected my mood, and I felt pretty sick getting up and over that pass. I knew was moving slowly, so I tried to convince myself that all was good and that I was going to regain some time by booking it down glen pass to the suspension bridge. I somewhat managed to do so, and boost my spirits and was ready to charge up Pinchot pass. I climbed that pass quickly and was up and over by 6. Still feeling fast and fresh, I hurried down to the junction below Mather pass, and decided to pull out my stove and canister to cook dinner. This would be the first time I would cook dinner, and the last. I guess a stove and dehydrated meals will be going on the "not to bring next time" list. After trying to force down a dehydrated meal and almost finishing, I packed up and headed toward Mather pass. It was 9 pm when I left. I was still feeling good and got up and over Mather pass at 11 pm but was a little disorientated while going down when I didn't see a sign that said "Mather Pass" and I didn't really remember what the trail was like down to Palisade Lake, and couldn't even see the lake until almost walking right into it. I went down a little and slept right above the Golden Staircase at 1 30 am.
I began a pattern of leaving camp at 6 30 am and made it to the Kings Creek Junction to start the climb up to Muir Pass at 9 am. I was very sore this morning and decided to stretch and eat breakfast at the junction. I struggled with sore feet and legs going up and felt exhausted when I got to the hut. At 3 pm. While I was there, a group of 4 guys came up, noticed I might be a "fast hiker" and started asking me questions and boosted my spirits. I flew down Muir Pass to Evolution Lake by 5 15 and got down to Franklin meadow at 8 15. I really enjoyed passing through Evolution Valley and hit McClure meadow just right with the perfect lighting. Beautiful. At 9 30 I was at the Paiute Junction Bridge and began to make my way up to my destination, which was Sallie Keys Lakes. I only made it to the junction before the switchbacks leading to Sallie Keys before Muir Trail Ranch due to left Achilles tendon that was acting up. Pulled out my sleeping bag, and went to bed around 11.
Woke up at 6 and got going at 6 30, today I was feeling well rested with 7 hours of sleep. I got up to the Sallie Keys Lakes at 9 30. Went over Selden Pass quickly, and headed down to Vermillion. I was tired on the climb that takes you up just to go down 4.5 miles into Vermillion, and was wondering why I had to climb so much if I was just going to drop so far. At this point I realized that when I was at my limit of exhaustion/ pain I would talk to myself out loud about whatever was in my mind and cheer myself up in Spanish. I decided that I wasn't actually tired and my feet weren't actually hurting and I ran down all of the switchbacks to the bridge before Vermillion. With my spirits high again, I began the ascent up to Silver Pass. On my way up I ran into the "2 Asians" that I had been hearing about the whole trip that were apparently "10 minutes" or a "mile" ahead of me for more than half a day, who people had claimed were Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese, but in the end they were Taiwanese. Jack and Johnny. Two ultra runners from Los Angeles, Jack is actually sponsored by "Run With Us" a local shoe store where I had gotten my shoes days earlier, and knew my cross-country coach from high school. I hiked with them for about 30 minutes or an hour and Jack said he needed to "let me go" so I could reach my goal that night. So I went up the rest of the pass and left from the summit at 6 45 with the goal in the back of my head to get to Reds. I had forgotten that there were some climbs to get up to the Tully Hole and Lake Virginia and that may have slowed me down so I ended up at Deer Creek for the night at 1 am, feeling beat.
6 30 left camp and was above Reds at Johnston creek at 10 30. A call to the family and a couple friends at Reds was refreshing and I got moving to Shadow Lake. I had to stop here for a while to fix some blisters at the shore of the lake where a water snake came creeping up and we both seemed to scare each other away. It took me until 8 pm to get to Donahue pass due to the blisters with a lot of shale that didn't help. I also met Camille and Eddy; two south bound hikers with no set itinerary. I was really jealous that they could just hang out at Thousand Island Lake for the night, and I still had many miles to hike. We talked for about 30 minutes, mainly about Camille's fear of mountain lions. I dropped down to the junction that is 27 miles away from Happy Isles at 11 and figured 27 miles sounded like a nice easy day, so I rolled out my bag and slept at that junction.
I was really motivated this morning and got moving a whole 30 minutes earlier than normal… at 6. For some reason I had a distinct craving for Jack in the Box, even though it had been more than 3 years since I had eaten from that place. So I figured one step more was one step closer to that burger my mind was craving. I rolled on through and arrived at Happy Isles at 5 pm. Took a picture in front of the sign, soaked my feet under the bus stop, then drove home with my friend that waited for me at the finish. Overall time 5 days 2 hours. I couldn't say the exact minute. Monday 3 pm at Whitney- Saturday 5 pm Happy Isles.
I learned a lot about "fast packing" this trip, being this the first "fast pack" I have done. And like I said, I didn't really know what I was getting myself into, and the mental and physical battles I would be fighting in these next few days. Highs and lows. But overall I loved every bit of it; the challenge, the beauty, the people, and am definitely going to do trips like this again.
Here are some things that I would do differently: the worst part of it was my shoes. I decided to take the New Balance "minimus" shoes and it was just a bad idea. I had hiked 20-mile days in a shoe like that, but I guess I just didn't know what it would be like to hike 40 miles in a day. My feet hurt, my Achilles tendon was acting up a lot, bad blisters, and they are now very swollen.
Also, I would leave behind the stove. Cooking was too much of a hassle and extra weight. And my body wasn't able to finish a full meal.
Everything else seemed to be good. I will put up a full gear list soon.
Very fun experience.Sep 3, 2013 at 10:27 am #2021320

This is crazy to read as when I went to break the unsupported record in 2009 I was in the exact same spots at the exact same times.
By the end of day 2 I had black bruises under the front pads of my feet.
I pushed a little more into the night each day but as I slowed the locations from where you were remained the same.
Slept about a mile and a half past you going down the golden staircase.
If you would have kept going to Sallie Keys Lake, we would have gone through at the same time.
I kept going and was flipping out of my mind that night from the lack of sleep.
This just brings back memories and now I can't wait to head up there this weekend.
You were really pushing a good pace with the 5 hours of (off trail) / sleep you got each night.
Good job!Sep 4, 2013 at 7:16 pm #2021881

While that's not my idea of fun, it's great to hear what you did and how you (and Aaron) felt. Thanks for sharing.

Way to go Andy! I was skeptical when you flew by my camp at Lake Marjorie about making Mather Pass before that evening, a whole day's walk for me the next day. Did you catch up with Jack and Johnny, the two who had a similar goal?Sep 7, 2013 at 1:55 pm #2022732

I think we should give an award to the person(s) who can clock the slowest JMT time :)
Er, perhaps that's the award in itself… to have seen and experienced the most along the way, eh?

I guess i should time in too. Nice job son! When we did the JMT a few years ago in 13 hiking days I felt that was fine for me but we all knew you were on a different speed level and we were holding you back. Thanks for slowing your pace down to still hike with mom, the girls and me. I still like to hike 20+ mile days but it takes me a bit longer.
Now get back to the books!!!Sep 8, 2013 at 3:44 pm #2023043
IanBPL Member
Well done Andrew. I don't think that I'll ever catch up to you but it's nice to read reports like this as inspiration. I lived in Panama back in '96 but from what I hear, I wouldn't recognize it now.
Again, great effort!Sep 11, 2013 at 3:28 pm #2024055
Aaron: thats funny how we ended up in the same spots. We should go for that record some time.
John Kays: Yes i did catch up to Jack and Johnny. We hiked for about an hour together and they gave me some helpful tips. You are the one i saw that had just recently discovered a small tear in your tent?
Bill: i think you are right, at times i was definitely jealous of some people that were doing it way slower than me, but also i only had one week to do it before school and i enjoy pushing myself. might as well do it while i'm still young and fast! but someday i would love to go out with my friends and just take a real long time to finish the JMT.Sep 12, 2013 at 9:13 am #2024292

This morning I decided to weigh the canister with all of the leftover food you did not eat.
The canister with food weighed in at 6.06 lbs. The Bearicade Weekender weighed in at 2 lbs. So, you had 4 lbs. of food left over when you finished the hike!
I always find it funny how I think I will be eating so much when I hike for example 20+ mile days. Lots of miles should = lots of hunger. However, I always have a hard time eating on the trail after long days, let alone 41 mile days like you did. I don't think you have ever gotten tired of Snickers but there were a bunch of them left over as well as peanut M&M's.

"left over peanut M&M's.
I didn't think such a thing existed….. you were doing something wrong ;)
I haven't done such a strenuous hike but on my multiday hikes I always found that i'm not that hungry for the first few days then it kicks in. so I try to pack less for the first few days. I can definitely see not eating as much if you are trying to minimize stopping to get more miles in.Sep 24, 2013 at 12:25 pm #2027748

Wow. This is an amazing journal. And I like hearing from Daddy-o. Cool dad.
"…a local shoe store where I had gotten my shoes days earlier,…" How did you adjust so fast to your shoes on these high-mileage days?
Never mind, I saw your answer later "My feet hurt, my Achilles tendon was acting up a lot, bad blisters, and they are now very swollen." I'm impressed how you kept on moving.
So did you just eat cold freeze dried food for 5 days? Or did you have enough snacks to munch on? Maybe I missed it, but how much weight were you carrying?
I wonder if I'll see you this weekend? I'm coming down for a 'parent's week' at BYU Provo. Our son is going there. I love those BYU football games. They know how to get the adrenaline flowing; and so we'll hit the Tennessee game also.

Congratulations Andrew. I've been trying to remember exactly where I saw you. I was heading south (at a much slower pace). We chatted briefly. Nice to hear you made it safely and apparently exceeding your original goal.Sep 27, 2013 at 9:22 am #2028865
barry, i was carrying 27 pounds, and yeah i basically had enough snacks to not eat my freeze dried meals. granted i did lose a little weight. i might be running mount timpanogos this saturday morning, so if you hike that maybe i will see you there. utah is beautiful.Sep 27, 2013 at 4:02 pm #2028987

@awsorensenLocale: South of Forester Pass
What was in your pack to weigh 27 pounds?
I could have brought a 5 pound tent, 3 pound sleeping bag, and 4 pound pack and still have less weight than what you had.
I honestly couldn't imagine moving that fast with 27 pounds. I'll have to admit that I felt spoiled out there with an average of about 12 pounds during the trip. The pack carried it really well and I forgot about what weight I had on most of the time. I wouldn't take off the pack on most breaks and nothing ever hurt from the pack being on the entire time.
That's pretty remarkable.
I wonder what you think you could do with out carrying an extra gallon of water (in weight) the whole time?Sep 27, 2013 at 4:32 pm #2028994

Discuss what you see on this tape.
This video is really unsettling... Pugh got abused by the guy I wanted in the 5th round, Cornelius Washington from Georgia. And Nassib looked bad as well.... ugh.
Spin that Webb young Davis
It was a so-so outing for him. He seemed overpowered on a few plays but he did have his moments where he reset and got the balance to withstand the bull rush. I wouldn't try to read too much into this game because he isn't going to be an NFL Left Tackle anyway and there's the fact he went up against arguably the best player in the Senior Bowl in Ansah for a good amount of those snaps. He looks really good on the move as his mobility is an obvious strength right away on tape and with about 5-10 more lbs of weight, he should be able to slide inside and give the Giants a technically sound guard who can be a future leader on this team.
I'm trying to like this pick but the more videos I watch on him the more disappointed I am considering he went in the 1st round.. At this very moment we need a solid RT not a guard. I still believe he will be a good player for us.
I read reports that the reason he skyrocketed up draft boards was because of the senior bowl . Then I also heard reports that his senior bowl was underhelming. For each their own I guess.
He's looken good. He maybe gave up one sack I believe and maybe could have gave up another one, but on that one though, the qb moved out of the pocket I believe. He looked good and proving me wrong.

Still no suspect in killing of UCCS student
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - There are still no suspects in the homicide of a 20-year-old woman found strangled in her apartment Thursday. Angelina Sicola was a sophomore at UCCS and a Taekwondo instructor with a black belt.
Sicola's body was found in her apartment at the Featherstone Apartments on Half Turn Road, near Austin Bluffs and Academy in Colorado Springs.
"She was my friend, she was my "sidekick" as we taught together," wrote Meredith Brents Muhs on Facebook. "She will ALWAYS have a place in my heart."
Sicola was an assistant instructor at the U.S. Taekwondo Center in Monument.
"The U.S. Taekwondo Center is deeply saddened to learn of the unfortunate and untimely passing of our dear friend, colleague, and student Angelina Sicola. She was a deeply valued employee, person, and member of our Taekwondo family," said Master Jay Lee in a statement. "We will continue to draw from the memory of Angelina's infectious smile, determination, and caring spirit."
Neighbors at Sicola's apartment complex remained on edge Saturday.
"My fiancee is actually the same age pretty much, goes to the same school, lives by herself," said Dylan Hoyal. "So, pretty scared. We're actually moving out because of it right now."
KRDO Newschannel 13 talked to another tenant in the process of moving out Saturday and a third woman considering it. That's despite the thought around the complex that the crime may not have been random.
"It seems kind of calculated, honestly," said Hoyal.
Investigators do not have any suspects or persons of interest at this time. If you have any information about this crime, you are asked to call Colorado Springs Police at (719) 444-7000. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can call CrimeStoppers at (719) 634-STOP (7867).
Sicola's death marks the 13th homicide in Colorado Springs in 2013.

P.S. - I'd LIKE to see us sign a stud LB (or two) .... I just don't see the Giants going that direction.
They aren't going to pay boley to ride the pine and he was hardly getting snaps towards the end of the season.

Jacobs was released. They probably get a 5th at best. More likely a 6th
Was doing some research this morning and it appears the consensus has us getting a supplemental pick in the 6th and 7th. Also looks like Hunt is indeed getting a lot of attention, more than I thought he would. Good feedback fellas. Thanks.

A 4-year-old boy's big sister who went to bat for him by petitioning Hasbro to make a version of the classic Easy Bake Oven for boys got a surprise this holiday season when the company invited her to see the new, boy-friendly model of the timeless toy.
As it turns out, it's not that easy. The pint-sized aspiring chef was hoping for a color that wasn't just for girls. But Hasbro only makes the Easy Bake Oven in a pink and purple-floral print.
So his big sister then stirred things up with a petition on Change.org. She asked Hasbro to offer a more gender-neutral color for the toy, and include boys in its commercials. The petition got more than 40,000 signatures
when Hasbro welcomed McKenna and her family into its headquarters Monday in Pawtucket, R.I., she got to see them all, including their newest model, in black and silver.
"They had like a blanket covering it, and then they took it off, and when he saw it, you could like see his eyes light up," McKenna said.
The color change "has been in development over the past 18 months" and will become available next fall, Hasbro told ABC News
