Blog Examines Study Looking at Role of Stigma in HIV PMTCT
August 30, 2012
The Center for Global Health Policy's "Science Speaks" blog examines a recent study that found only slightly more than 44 percent of women in the Nyanza province of Kenya deliver their infants in a health care facility, with many women citing fear of stigma and discrimination as a reason for not attending clinics for prenatal care. Janet Turan of the University of Alabama led the study, published in the August edition of PLoS Medicine, as well as a literature review showing the impact of stigma and discrimination on efforts to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission, according to the blog. The researchers "conclude that efforts to address HIV-related stigma in and out of health settings are needed, if efforts targeting maternal mortality and parent to child HIV transmission are to succeed," the blog writes (Barton, 8/29).

Australian journalist attacked by assailants in Benghazi
New York, August 22, 2011--Tracey Shelton, a freelance Australian journalist, was brutally attacked in her hotel room in Benghazi, Libya, on August 11, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. Two armed men wearing military fatigues broke into Shelton's room at the Africa Hotel, tied her up, beat her, and attempted to kidnap her. The journalist escaped by jumping to a neighboring balcony.

I just picked up the Collectors box set this morning. It's got all kinds of groovy stuff. :lol It comes with a T-shirt, a set of 12 "Topps" trading cards showing scenes from the episodes, a booklet of concept/storyboard art, and a pair of 3-D glasses.
Don't have time to watch now, but I'll be checking out the DVD later tonight to see what kind of extras are included. :)


text: Can the Giants re-sign Cruz, Beatty, Bennett, and Phillips and still have room to sign a guy like Andre Smith of the Bengals? I ask this because I feel that oline is the only real weakness on offense and with Beatty and Smith anchoring the tackle positions the weakness would be eliminated. With the oline taken care of, we could focus the entire draft to the defensive side of the ball which was really bad at points last year.

I purchased a starter kit with one deep, entrance, queen divider for future expansion, entrance, and top. How do we get the bees out? I have ten 10" racks already loaded with natural beeswax. I have read online that lemongrass essential oil works for attracting them to a new home. They have already built a considerable amount of comb and i am not sure how deep it goes since the wall of cinderblocks is about 4 feet high. Any suggestions/hints? Thanks in advance!

The Top Gun National Mock Trial Competition is an innovative, invitation-only mock trial tournament where the single best advocates from some of the top 16 trial advocacy schools go head-to-head for the honor of Top Gun. The winner earns a $10,000 prize.
Unlike other mock trial competitions, participants do not receive the case file until they arrive in Waco, a mere 24 hours before the first round of trials begin. Preparation includes reviewing depositions, records, and photographs, and taking a trip to the actual places where events in the case supposedly occurred. Shortly before each round, competitors are assigned a witness or witnesses who may be used at their discretion during the round. The jurors for each round are distinguished trial lawyers and judges.

HEALTH CARE IN AMERICA: Part 3 – Affordable Care Act's impact on business
The Affordable Care Act has been raising some eyebrows in the business community across the country. So what are the effects on businesses -- small, and not so small -- and what changes are in store for our country's workers?
We spoke with insurance broker Beth Larchus, who works closely with businesses to help them find coverage and has actually worked for a health care company in the past. Larchus says she has taken hours of classes on the Affordable Care Act and she still has questions.
(For the complete Health Care in America series, CLICK HERE.)
According to the The U.S. Small Business Administration, depending on how many employees you have, the Affordable Care Act will affect you differently.22952924
For example, grocery chain Food City, and its parent company K-VAT, employs 13,000 people. The chain operates stores in Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky. More than half of the company's workers are part-timers who help cover a small window of time when the bulk of Food City's customers flood the stores. "We do 60 percent of our total volume between Friday afternoon and Sunday evenings. So if you think about that, the other days, the weekdays, are very slow and the weekends are very busy," said Food City President and CEO Steve Smith.
Under the Affordable Care Act, or ACA, Food City -- because it has more than 50 workers --- is required to offer health care to all full-time employees. The new definition of full-time, according to the ACA, is someone who workers 30 hours a week or more. If companies like Food City do not offer full-time workers health care, they must pay a $2,000 fine per person, per year.
That mandate has been delayed until January of 2015, but for many companies across the country, the wheels were already in motion; they are going forward with making the changes now.
For Food City, that means part-timers can now only work up to 28 hours a week. "We've had to reduce those folks' hours, at no fault of their own. They are good associates and do a great job for us," said Smith.
Smith said this is an unintended consequence of the Affordable Care Act that he regrets, but as a company that operates on just a one-percent profit margin, providing healthcare for his 7,800 part-timers was just not a viable option.22952600
Businesses across the country have had to make the same move including retailers, fast food restaurants and even community colleges. Matt Stanley, 21, is directly affected by hour cuts; he began working part-time for a lawn care company after his hours at a restaurant were slashed to 29 in order to help his employer comply with the 30-hour requirement. "I was actually living in an apartment with my buddies and that's when we started getting our hours cut," said Stanley, who is saving for college. He said his hours and income were reduced significantly, so much so that he moved back in with his parents and landed a second job.
"Working seven days a week you don't really have much of a life to do anything. You're always working or trying to go to bed to be up early the next day, and [going to] school at night," said Stanley. "It gets tough sometimes."
As for companies with fewer than 50 employees, like Berry's Pharmacy in Kingsport, Tennessee, the ACA does not require them to provide full-timers -- those working 30 hours or more -- with health care. Owner David Berry has 22 workers. As a pharmacist, his concerns about the Affordable Care Act are related to reimbursement rates.
We talked to a spokesperson with the National Community Pharmacists Association in Alexandria, Virginia who confirms that government reimbursement levels, through programs like Medicare, are already down.
Berry says he's even losing money on some prescriptions, which has him wondering if he'll even survive as a hometown pharmacist. Right now, Berry has many unanswered questions about the ACA. "Like any other business, we have to plan ahead. It's not very long to the first of the year," he said.
Pharmacist Emily Holley understands the concerns of her employer and other small businesses; however, as someone born with a heart defect, she says she's grateful for the Affordable Care Act. Before the law, Holley could only get coverage for her pre-existing condition by working for a large employer that could absorb the costs. Now the ACA allows her on the rolls, even while working at a 'mom & pop' operation she loves. "When I came out of school and really wanted to do independent, or even have my own pharmacy one day, but I didn't really consider it an option," said Holley. "So what the Affordable Care Act has done is make that possible."22952894
Experts say there's another potential benefit for a business of this size -- if they sign on to the ACA's Exchange, also known as "Marketplace." "Employers that have 25 or fewer employees, if they go on the Marketplace, they possibly qualify for a tax credit," said insurance broker Beth Larchus. Larchus, who works with the Cambron Insurance Agency in Johnson City, deals specifically with businesses and their health care programs. She says older workers, especially those over 60, may also benefit.
Here's why: the Affordable Care Act offers subsidies for some seniors who qualify. The ACA also limits age-banding, which is the common practice of insurers charging older people more than younger ones.
If you want more facts about how the Affordable Care Act will affect businesses and workers, including seniors, please visit the following websites:
Small Business Administration: http://www.sba.gov/healthcare
SeniorPlanet.org: http://seniorplanet.org/the-affordable-care-act-how-will-it-affect-you/
Job Creators Alliance: http://jcnf.org
Now the premiums for older workers cannot be more than three times what they are for younger people. The change is likely going to mean more costs for young people. "The younger people are going to have to subsidize all that and pay for it," said Larchus.
If your company provides a plan that offers extensive coverage, starting in 2018 your employer will pay a 40 percent excise tax for exceeding a certain threshold for benefits, and experts believe the costs will inevitably be passed on to the workers. Some companies, like Trader Joe's and Home Depot, have stated they will stop providing any medical coverage for part-time employees, sending them to the public health care Marketplace instead.
The Affordable Care Act also places new taxes on health insurance companies. All of the experts we spoke with, on and off camera, say those costs will no doubt be passed along in our premiums.
Because there are still a lot of unknowns about the ACA and its effects right now, experts say the best thing we can do at this point is to arm ourselves with information.

Man pleads guilty to Boy Scouts scam, sentenced to prison
DAVIS, CARTERET COUNTY - A Carteret County man has admitted to scamming people into giving money for a fake Boy Scouts fundraiser.
Matthew Claude Willis, 40, of Davis, pleaded guilty to three felony counts of obtaining property by false pretenses, District Attorney Scott Thomas announced Thursday.
According to Thomas, Willis traveled around Carteret County in late August and sold raffle tickets for a fundraiser which he claimed was for the Boy Scouts of America. He scammed his victims into paying for $10 tickets, and promised a grand prize of between 20 to 100 pounds of shrimp, Thomas said.
But the leader of one of the local Boy Scout troops heard about Willis' supposed fundraiser and reported that it did not exist, said Thomas. The Carteret County Sheriff's Office learned that about 15 people became victims to Willis' scam.
During the time of the scam, Willis was on probation for 2012 convictions of safecracking and felony larceny, according to Thomas. As part of Willis' guilty plea, he also admitted that he had violated his probation.
Willis was sentenced to between 6 and 17 months in prison for the scam. The sentence will be carried out after he serves between 8 and 10 months in prison for violating his probation, Thomas said. In all, Willis will serve between 1 year and 2 months to 2 years and 3 months in the North Carolina Division of Adult Correction.
The money that he owed -restitution, attorney's fees, court costs- were entered as a civil judgment against him, Thomas said.
A Carteret County man has been arrested for going door to door, saying he was raising money for the Boy Scouts of America, according to deputies.
Matthew Claude Willis, 40, of Davis, has been charged with three counts of obtaining property by false pretenses. Deputies say he knocked on doors in the Downeast community and told people he was selling raffle tickets for a Boy Scout fundraiser. He allegedly told victims the $10 tickets gave them a chance to win 50 lbs. of shrimp, while also helping out the Scouts. Deputies said some people even bought multiple tickets.
Weston Willis, no relation to Matthew Willis, said he fell victim to the scam.
"You think you're doing a good deed for the community, for the young kids, and all of a sudden you realize that you've been scammed," he said.
Weston Willis said Matthew Willis lives down the street from him and showed up at his front door with his young son selling the tickets.
Major Jason Wank said Willis scammed more than 15 victims.
"He used little ripped off half tickets which I think people may be caught on to it and started putting two and two together," Wank said.
Weston Willis said when he realized what happened, he immediately called the Davis scout master.
After being confronted by the scout leader, Matthew Willis returned money to several victims, telling them there had been a misunderstanding.
Matthew Willis is being held in the Carteret County Jail under a $15,000 bond.

EU should scrutinize Montenegro--Wild West for the press
Nestled between Croatia's Dalmatian coast and Albania, the small state of Montenegro (14,000 square kilometers, 630,000 inhabitants) evokes images of sandy beaches, pristine lakes, and gorgeous mountains. The wild beauty advertised by its savvy tourist board, however, looks more like the Wild West for the Montenegrin press. In the past weeks a number of violent attacks against critical journalists have rocked the country.

What makes an effective school board -- one that boosts student achievement? From a research perspective, it's a complex question that involves evaluating virtually all of a board's functions, from internal governance and policy formulation to communication with teachers, building administrators, and the public.
But the research that exists is clear, according to a brief published by NSBA's Center for Public Education (CPE) in late January. The brief, which examined seven research studies conducted between 1993 and 2008, says high-achieving boards exhibit habits and characteristics that are markedly different from those of their low-achieving counterparts.
What makes a board effective?

U can send the slide off to be hard chromed (for around $115-$125), NP3'd (around $125, if I remember correctly), or have it duracoated grey/sliver from CCR for around $60.
As far as the texturing of the grip, that can get kinda expensive.
U will probably be better off buying your own gun and then having this done. Or, I guess U could look at some of the sights and Gunbroker. U may find one already done up that way that someone wants to sell.

In the programming world, an annotation is a way to mark the code that is below it for many purposes. In Cucumber, the tags it uses are a kind of annotation to apply callbacks and classify some features and scenarios:
@billing Feature: Verify billing @important Scenario: Missing product description Scenario: Several products
In the case of VRaptor, we can use annotations to specify a controller as a REST resource or to restrict the access method to an action:
@Resource public class ShoppingCartController { ... } public class ProductsController { @Post @Path("/products") public void add(Product product) {...} ... }
In the Ruby language, two annotations that are very used are the methods protected and private, which without arguments restrict the visibility of the methods defined below them:
class User def jump; end; protected def eat; end; def flirt; end; private def sleep; end; def dream; end; end
In some situations we may want to annotate our code like this, for example to specify that a method is deprecated, functionality that is offered by the gem Canivete from Douglas Campos:
class Bomb deprecate def explode; end end
In the previous code, when somebody calls Bomp#explode, the interpreter will effectively execute the method, but also will output: Warning: calling deprecated method Bomb.explode.
The key to this behavior is the method_added method which is present in all Ruby modules and which is called every time a method is defined, receiving the name of the method as the parameter.
We can use this method, for example, to create an annotation that specifies that the methods declared below it can only be called by an admin, something like this:
class Module def method_added(name) unless @_admin_only.nil? or @_proxy_method @_proxy_method = true alias_method "_admin_#{name}", name module_eval <<-STRING def #{name}(*args, &block) _admin_#{name}(*args, &block) if admin? end STRING @_proxy_method = false end end def admin_only @_admin_only = true end end class User def admin? [true, false][rand(2)] end admin_only def update_password puts "password updated" end def restart_server puts "server restarted" end end
In the previous code, #admin? will randonmly return true or false and depending of the result the called method will be executed or not.

Scores of motorists have been arriving at AA offices to renew out-of-date licences, after the Herald on Sunday revealed last week that nearly 500,000 driving licences were expired.
Many drivers were unaware they were breaking the law. Now, they are making sure they are on the right side of the law.
Mike Noon, the AA's general manager of motoring, said customers renewing licences had told staff they had been prompted into action by the newspaper.
"We were very busy with driver licence transactions on Monday and Tuesday following your article," said Noon. "It has served to get people to look in their wallet and check the expiry date."
There were long queues to renew licences, he said.
Noon said 10 years was a long time between renewals and it was important to know when your licence would lapse.
Drivers who are caught behind the wheel with an expired licence risk a $400 fine and having their vehicle impounded.
They also put their vehicle insurance cover in jeopardy.

Beatty is a much more physical player than Martin.[/quote]
Key word being "is"
I see a lot of similarities between them coming out (but Beatty has a higher ceiling, IMO)
Martin would probably be a good LT for a team like the Pats or Pack who like to air it out, and couldn't care less about running it.


text: I wish I had the interview I saw it awhile back, but it was something about him talking about how great a qb eli is and how he has done incredible things for the giants.. blah, blah, blah I think it was during our run last season. Anyway, it looked as if he were almost in tears talking about it.. It was really great. Anyway, asides from that the guy is a major tool.

64-Bit Linux Swap Partition Size Recommendation
I was wondering, what should the size of the swap partition be? I used to make it double the amount of RAM, so when I had 512 MB I made it 1 gig. But now I have 8 gigs of RAM, which would make the swap 16 gigs which seems too big. I've never used a 64-bit version of linux before, so does anyone have any suggestions as to how big the swap should be with 8 gigs of RAM? Also, my OpenSuse system will be on an SSD drive if that matters.
I did a Google search on this first and (surprisingly) didn't really come up with any useful tips.

Do we have any vinegar makers out there? I am thinking about trying to make some vinegar out of mead. Have any of you tried it?
Do we have any vinegar makers out there? I am thinking about trying to make some vinegar out of mead. Have any of you tried it?
Please visit my page, Thanks
yes we make a lot of vinegars. Any beer or wine that we are not completely satisfied with goes into cheese cloth covered gallon jars with a slug of mother. we have also made it out of commercial wines that get opened and forgotten long enough to oxidize. My brew club bought a bourbon barrel and we all made 5 gallon batches of stout. We left in in the barrel for 6 - 8 months and the results was wonderful. so good that we wanted to try again. Problem was it took a couple of weeks to get beer in it again. in that time the barrel got infected and the second batch was terrible. Most of the members just dumped theres but my wife and I took it home, boiled it first to kill anything living in it and added mother. The following brew club Xmas party she gave everyone a bottle of stout vinegar. We started by just buying a bottle of vinegar from the health food store that had mother sitting on the bottom. For those that don't know what mother is it looks like snot. Every batch you make the mother grows. Now we actually give small bottles of mother to friends to get them started. I rack 5 gallons of hard cider into a secondary yesterday and sampled it. Its abit to hard for my taste so unless things change in the secondary I see apple cider vinegar in gift baskets next year. We have also made Champagne vinegar that really turned out great. We bought cheap champagne, popped the corks and left it sit and go flat. Poured it into gallon jars, added mother and walked away for afew months

I'm pretty serious about my vinegar. I make and sell Honey Vinegar, Blueberry Honey Vinegar, Strawberry Honey Vinegar and have a sizable batch of Apple Cider Honey Vinegar brewing...to be ready sometime late spring 2014...as I speak.

A couple of interesting writeups on honey vinegar you might find interesting.
This is the one that first got me interested.
And this one tells everything (at least almost everything) one might want to know about making it.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
Dan, What mother do you use for honey vinegar? I've found malt, white, red, and cider mothers out there. Thanks, Dan
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
and i can attest to dans vinegar...its really good......greg
22 hives and holding
Great pics!!!!! All 3 gallon carboys? Maybe 5's My wife has refused to use narrow necked jugs both gallon, 3 gallon and fives that I have. I will show her these pics. Very Nice!!!
Ok all you vinegar brewers I started some apple cider vinegar. I used apple peeling,and cores left from apple pie making. I put into a crock, covered them with water, and added a glob of mother. I stir it everyday. It first started to smell like beer, then wine now more like vinegar. If and when should I remove the peelings and cores? When I do remove them should I keep the mother blob in there or remove it and let it make it's own? When do I put it into bottles? Thank you for any help I can get.
Oh I added a quart of honey to this also. Will this not work at all? It smells like vinegar at this point. Should I jst toss it and start over?
I wouldn't 'start over' without doing a bit of research on the process....otherwise you'll end up pretty much where you currently are.
Good luck.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
Ok thank you I guess I'll just dump it and buy my vinegar...
Its not difficult! If you want to give it another try buy the alcohol in the form of maybe redwine or beer. Buy a six pack of a dark beer like a stout. Open them and let sit around a few days to get flat. Pour them into a glass or stainless container and add the mother. Then cover with cheese cloth. stir them now and then. Don't try buying cider without reading the label. Unless you are getting it from the guy that made it, it will haves sorbate in it and will not ferment to give you the alcohol needed
We make our own cider from our apples. No chemical treatment we are an organic farm.
Beemandan, can you give more advice on how you make your vinegars.
Do you make your own mead?
Isn't the Orleans method were you put a funnel in the top, with a tube going below the mother? Have you tried this method?
How do you know when to start testing for acidity, and how do you test?
I just started my first mother in a quart jar, with red wine and a commercial bought mother. I have a 10 liter oak vinegar barrel that I want to make the vinegar in. I want to try red wine before I jump on mead.
I'm reading vinegar by Diggs (The Vinegar Man) right know, but I still find it easier to ask specific questions.
I have 100 more.
Please visit my page, Thanks
Trying to make vinegar from traditional meads or wines with alcohol contents over ten percent have proven difficult to me. In an earlier post I cited two links. The second has pretty much everything one would need to know to start a good quality honey vinegar. The biggest issue with that document is that the author is talking about making larger batches than I typically make. So if you read the article, you should be able to adjust the information to suit whatever size you plan to make. Maybe the most important piece of information in it is the suggestion that you start with a honey/water mix that has about an 8% potential alcohol content. If fermented to completion, then inoculated with a colony of acetobacters, mine typically result in vinegar with an acid content of 6.5 to 7.5%.
I usually test my vinegars at around 11 months. This is the part overlooked in most books on the subject. While childs play for those with a chemistry background, for me it required dredging up forty year old college chemistry and a bit of present day research. I draw a sample, sinking the mother in the process, and titrate it with NaOH and an indicator solution. With the right tools (including a precision scale) and a bit of old fashioned algebra you can compute the percent acid. I will move the vinegar into another breathable container and after about four weeks, if it begins forming a mother, Ill let it run a bit longer. If it doesnt, Ill retest the acidity and if I get the same basic result as I did earlier, I trust that it has completed its acidification. At that point I dilute with distilled water and retest to achieve a 5% acid vinegar.
Or, if you dont plan to sell it and start with an 8% potential alcohol must and allow it to ferment to completion and convert the alcohol totally you should have a high enough acid to be safe .although above 6.5% they have a real bite.

There's a sure way to unlock the secrets of Amsterdam—explore by bicycle.
This is the city of bikes, with around one million mostly timeworn machines. You see them crammed into metal racks on every street, bolted three-deep to canal bridges, spilling out from the multi-storey "bikepark" at Centraal Station, and perhaps being sold on the sly by the bike thieves who operate in Dam Square.
Some years ago I shared an apartment overlooking the houseboats moored alongside the Binnenkant, and on my first weekend in the city I paid good money for a sorry-looking bicycle from a hire outlet. The frame was branded with the name "Quicksilver," but the bike was neither of those things. It was painted a muddy-brown, it had no gears, and the brakes (such as they were) were operated by pedaling backwards. I only invested because the company I worked for was located on the far side of the city and walking was impractical. By fluke, I ended up with a key to the contradictions at the very heart of Amsterdam.
My morning commute was a revelation. I would breeze over the Amstel River and weave through the clouds of marijuana smoke eddying outside the tourist coffee houses on Rembrantplein, then glide up and over the cobbled bridges that span Amsterdam's most picturesque canals, the Herengracht, Keizersgracht, and Prinsengracht. From there, I followed the curving tramlines running alongside the Singelgracht, coasted through the vaulted tunnel beneath the Rijksmuseum and crossed the cultured green of Museumplein, passing just meters from the Van Gogh museum.
On weekends I circled Vondelpark, resting only for a koffie verkeerd and spicy appeltaart at the Blue Teahouse, or headed south to Amsterdamse Bos, a sprawling, forested zone that feels like Central Park grown-wild. Other times, I took random turns through the winding streets of the Jordaan, with its thin, cheerful townhouses and colorfully painted barges, or dawdled among the open-air bookstalls at Spui Square and the displays of tulips near Koningsplein.
By night, with my dynamo lights flickering dimly, I passed cruise boats squeezing beneath illuminated bridges, or gawped at the lurid neons of the glass cubicles and grotesque sex clubs of the Red Light District.
When I grew thirsty, I'd secure my bicycle with a chain that cost more than the machine itself and drink Heineken in snug brown cafés. The locals I met had an easy humor and a relaxed charm, and were every bit as laid-back as you would expect (even if they did seem mystified by the English stag groups that visit the city). Always, and without exception, they struck me as effortlessly mature.
Riding on Quicksilver, pedaling from the sublime through the seedy and back again, it wasn't long before I started to develop the idea for a crime novel set in Amsterdam. And when my central character, a burglar, needed a getaway vehicle? Why, the solution was obvious.
CHRIS EWAN is the creator of Charlie Howard, mystery writer and professional thief-for-hire. In the comedy caper novel, The Good Thief's Guide to Amsterdam (published by St. Martin's Minotaur), Charlie travels around Amsterdam on a stolen bicycle.

With all of the emphasis in the NFL on offense, it has become increasingly important for defenses around the League to find a guy or two who is not just a playmaker, but a game-changer. While many of these guys are elite pass rushers, having a stud in the secondary can be highly beneficial as teams try to slow down the high-octane passing attacks used by most offenses.

so in essence the players would have to memorize our entire playbook in two different terminologies...i just dont see it. the limitations eli may face with audibles may not be bc of any flaw he has, it could be bc thats too much to ask of the other guys...knowing the playbook with the actual terminology of the play, and then the playbook in audible terminology...and then ud have to change that up week to week bc teams have film and study that **** religiously...

"I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones." - Bill Parcells
"Name the starting linebackers from 2007." - Jerry Reese
I thought the gameplan was pretty good for the first half - own the time of possession and tire out their defense with some ground and pound. When it was the second half, we would take advantage of their adjustment to our run game and air it out. That's what I expected at least.
do you have any idea how many plays are in the playbook.......I'll tell you .....300 +
we are talking about a specific game plan...........not the playbook
and within that game plan are personnel packages
these personnel packages involve a certain amount of plays
this is why you see David Wilson only in on certain packages.....because his understanding of the terminology and protections is not yet to where it will eventually be
and yes Eli has the freedom to check into any play within the personnel package that they are in when the approach the LOS
he could absolutely change the formation if he wanted to .... but rarely would the playclock ever provide enough time to do that ....so that is not often likely
I mean this in the kindest way possible....you really have no clue what you are talking about
99% of the time when you guys assume Eli is checking out of a play at the LOS he is indeed changing protections due to the front that the defense shows during a dummy cadence
he may check out of a play 3 or 4 times in a game ....tops
and when he does it is usually from a pass to a run or vice versa
sometimes he is not even changing the whole play.....he may only change one of the receivers routes and the backs blocking assignment
....and yes ....all 11 guys on the offense understand all the terminology that pertains to their position and responsibility involved in the game plan.
this is their job
the receivers understand the whole route tree , the sight adjustments involved based on coverages , and the terminology involved in changing them at the LOS
the backs understand the protections and the terminology involved in changing it at the LOS...as do the linemen and TEs
this is what they do .....this is why they study and sit in meetings for so many hours per week
if they did not know every little bit of terminology ....they would not be on the field...

I think the Giants did well against RGIII, but what killed late in the game was that we kept biting on the play fakes and couldn't stop the run. What disappointed me late in the game when we couldnt stop the run and never adjusted. We hardly blitzed, which I thought should been done more to disrupt the backfield. The Skins defense had a couple of good passes defended but otherwise hardly put any pressure on Eli who missed Giants offense missed a couple of big passes that would have been game breakers. We beat ourselves, not the RGIII or the skins. I wouldn't get disheartened though.
u said he has access to the entire gameplan at the LOS.
thats simply not true imo. u can claim i dont know aht im talking about. thats fine. i know i've read kg gives eli the play and then 2 plays on top to change to as the audibles. plays called in the huddle are diff terminology than when at the LOS as well. the other 10 guys would have to know the entire gameplan in two diff languages basically for the entire gameplan to be accessible at the LOS bc u certainly dont want teams to know the plays you run thus creating an audible that represents said play but term can be changed repeatedly.
we can agree to disagree i guess but its been my contention that the audibles are part of the gameplan, and that there are certain audible checks given for certain defensive looks. and while u claim we can, i've never seen us switch into diff formations at the LOS. which again, my contention was eli prob has earned more freedom then when i read the article a couple years ago and has the ability to audible into any play in that formation, but during the week the plays are discussed and implemented under the terminology that will be changed week to week.
i dunno if there was some confusion but i think if u go back and reread what i've said, i hadnt stated anything incorrect and asked for clarification if i was wrong. i havent read anything that leads me to believe I am, so we;ll agree to disagree that i dont know what im talking about at all

A team should never use ball control until at the end of the game. When you are up and there is going to be litle to no time on the clock. You limit yourself with that ball control and Giants did that trying to establish the run. Just play the game and gameplan in trying to score.

Movie Review: Young Adult
This wildly witty and cringeworthy comedy will have you begging for more.
Director: Jason Reitman
MPAA Rating: R
Studio: Mandate Pictures, Mr. Mudd, Right of Way Films
Early on, Young Adult dials-up the discomfort level up to "11" and holds it steady almost to the end – bless its sad, nasty, acrid little heart. Directed by Jason Reitman (Up In the Air) from a Diablo Cody (Juno) screenplay, the merry little offender stars Charlize Theron as a boozy, vain, messed-up, unlikeable wreck who ghostwrites a series of young adult books. Sales have bottomed-out, her contract is up once she completes her final book and having already torpedoed her personal life, the aging hot girl accelerates her long, slow suicide by returning to her Minnesota hometown hell-bent on winning back her married high school boyfriend (Patrick Wilson).
The results are funny, desperate and cringeworthy; the script is too painfully real not to believe that somebody lived at least a version of this story. Cameron Diaz staked out similar territory earlier in Bad Teacher but here, with sharp, smart, attuned writing and direction, Theron takes a similarly spiky, despicable character and makes her a showstopper. Playing a woman so loathsome she even abusively neglects her only friend, her tiny dog, Theron is astounding. It's her very best work yet.
Theron plays beautifully off the gifted Patrick Wilson, who plays her quarry with an appealing deer-in-headlights quality, and his loving, irony-free wife (Elizabeth Reaser). But Theron is especially great in her moments with Patton Oswalt, revelatory as the truth spouting, physically broken, sexually conflicted hometown geek around whom she lets down her guard without ever letting up on her bile. That she's able to make her character somehow sympathetic, in the end, only testifies to how good she, and the writing, are. Reitman and Cody's talents are only growing stronger and surer and their prickly Young Adult is wise, knowing and shrewd stuff, played straight no chaser.

2007 PS3 GTA IV This Month?
Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 06:45 PM MDT | By Slim Trashman
QJ.net has reported that the PlayStation UK site has updated their GTA IV page with the release date of October 2007. Currently we are unsure of what exactly this means. It could mean that the PS3 version (and/or 360 version?) will launch sometime this month, or it could simply be an error by PlayStation.
Looking at some other facts though, Sony is going to be making a "big bang" announcement on Friday, October 12th. Although that announcement could be anything, I'm sure we could all agree that an early GTA IV release on the PS3 would surely be "a big bang".
Even though all of this seems very unlikely, it doesn't hurt to hope. We'll keep you updated as we learn more about this.
Edit: Although this is not officially confirmed, taking a look in GTA IV's UK PS3 page, it appears that PEGI has (un)officially branded GTA IV with an 18+ Rating, for the descriptors: "Bad Language & Violence"
However, PEGI's site did not list GTA IV, but usually these sites are not updated quite that fast (ESRB is the same).
Update 1: I guess I'll unofficially confirm this rating, as the Xbox GTA IV page too lists that the PEGI has rated it it 18+ as well as the BBFC.
Update 2: Gaming website SPOnG have contacted Rockstar Games earlier to find out about this new rumour. The response Rockstar gave was "It's coming out in Spring next year."

Backpacks are cool
3.5mb img, mobile users be warned.
I set it to 0.1 exposure though for best immersion as I use 3x timescale and it doesn't make any sense when a nord freezes to death in slightly chilly weather in 20 minutes.. besides, I just want it for immersion not to be a distraction and hinderance all the time.
I still feeling Im missing something...
Does anyone know a good mod thats customizable and makes stuff take time? For example training per skill rank takes 1 hour or more, smithing items takes time, making potions etc. even eating.
I considered it, but two issues - 1) it hasn't been updated for a long time 2) it's good for the occasional crafting, but if you want your skills to increase at any reasonable rate, it'll take months of in-game time. 6 hours to cook food or make potions. Not customizable.
This is something else you might be interested in, from the same author:
Personally, I just use the wait function. My character is currently working in Riverwood at the sawmill and learning how to craft stuffs from Alvor. 4-6 hours for smithing seems reasonable, so I usually craft a couple of things (after using the wood chopping money to buy the ores from him) and it's night time. As for reading, I wait an hour for every 3 books that I read.
But I wish someone made that mod to be honest. There are mods that make you fatter or thinner based on calories in food you eat so this seems like a huge overlook.
Can anyone help me? Its about Gloombound Mine. I've read several area's by just typing in google that you have to wait 10 days, 30days and 45 days for the Ebony Ore to respawn. I've waited 45 days and still hasn't respawned. I even went and did 2 quests in falkreath and then sat and waited for the other 42 days away from the mine. Do I have to clear the mine completely out because the only thing i mined was the ebony, I never touched the iron ore deposits because I dont need them. Can anyone help me out and tell me if I'm doing something wrong or should I wait more days or do i need to do more quests? Also, idk if this matters but I mined the ore on the 6th and im now on the 21st of the following month.
Orc places often have eboy ore.
Now... where to find moonstone/quicksilver :|
I did revert to old saves after i checked 10 and 30 and 45 days so that way the timer never reset . So idk whats wrong... do i need to clear out the whole mine or should that not matter? The color is back on the ore vein it just wont let me mine it.

I don't know about the other game but it seems that in each game your character is waaaay more than meets the eye. I don't know if the Nerevarine storyarc was the main one for Morrowind but in Oblivion, the Champion of Cyrodiil ended up becoming Sheogorath himself which wasn't even directly part of the Oblivion main quest. Similarly I can see the Dragonborn "ascending" once again after you find out that your character truly is Talos and that would completely obliterate the White-Gold Concordat especially for the Nords.

So if anything is going to be revealed, it's going to be either in some upcoming DLCs or in a next game. However, I don't think your character is Talos for too many reasons. 1. Thalmor vs Empire war - I just don't see it happening in Skyrim and it is unlikely they make a large enough DLC for it. 2. If the war is going to be in TES 6, your old character would be history and I doubt they let you play a (new) dragonborn again 3. Divines don't intervene, daedra do, they might not even be "real"(in the TES universe). Nerevarine wasn't a god but Vivecs friend or something like that who remained loyal to Azura so she brought him back and created the prophesy to put the Tribunal in their place for playing god.
Just because you have "cheat codes" doesn't mean you have to use them, neither does Talos or Vivec have to.

Wouldn´t it be perfect? The Thalmor want to forbid Talos worship and our Dragonborn is Talos? That could be an interesting situation.
Mabye they would want to kill him once they discover it.

Talos on the other hand would not be too amused about the fact that they want to forbid the worship of him so he prolly wants to teach them a lession.
He cannot die after all much like Vivec because they both are gods. I still think that Vivec is out there somewhere.

I've got a problem, Dark brotherhood questline. I do the first 3 contracts and the keeper is not at the sanctuary when i arrive back. could it be a mod causing the problem? Tbh i've never ran into that before, i ended up going back to and older save and killing astrid, hours wastedtrying to find a fix but it kept happening. Hate it when bugs happen.

I was kinda tired of only reading about mods so I thought someone needs to bring in some lore and speculation.

can't destroy the pillars of reality to end their current existence with the mankind around in any form
Stuff from Developer Micheal Kirkblade on the Imperial library:
[B]What appears to be an Altmeri commentary on Talos:[/B]
To kill Man is to reach Heaven, from where we came before the Doom Drum's iniquity. When we accomplish this, we can escape the mockery and long shame of the Material Prison.
To achieve this goal, we must:
1) Erase the Upstart Talos from the mythic. His presence fortifies the Wheel of the Convention, and binds our souls to this plane.
2) Remove Man not just from the world, but from the Pattern of Possibility, so that the very idea of them can be forgotten and thereby never again repeated.
3) With Talos and the Sons of Talos removed, the Dragon will become ours to unbind. The world of mortals will be over. The Dragon will uncoil his hold on the stagnancy of linear time and move as Free Serpent again, moving through the Aether without measure or burden, spilling time along the innumerable roads we once traveled. And with that we will regain the mantle of the imperishable spirit.
The majority of the Skyrim plot was engineered by the Thalmor as the first step to achieve this and weaken humanity.

That explains why the Imperials aren´t that happy about the Stormcloak rebellion and the "murder" of Torygg. The civil war only weakens humanity and allows the Thalmor to exploit that.
I still think that it was reckless and without foresight what Ulfric did. He just wanted to become the new high king. If you meet him in Sovngarde after you killed him he even says that he was acting false and without thinking about the possibilities of his actions.
Thats why I usually join the Imperials and not the Stormcloaks. Ulfric is a big dick to be honest. This war weakened both the Nord and the Imperials and could allow the Thalmor to defeat them in this weakened state.

You can make an indoor sandbox by filling up a cardboard box or plastic baby bathtub with puffed wheat or rice cereal or uncooked rice. Here are also some alternatives that may be purchased fairly inexpensively in bulk. They provide an interesting sensory experience for toddlers.Materials
- water softener
- salt
- shredded paper
- birdseed
- cedar shavings
- dried beans
- deer corn
- oatmeal
- foam packing peanuts
- cornmeal
- potting soil (if you're brave!)
- Children enjoy playing in the sandbox with cups, spoons, bowls, buckets, scoops, shovels, cars, and other toys and containers.
- A funnel and scoop that can be used to fill an empty plastic soda bottle with sandbox material will also be a hit.
- An old sheet, shower curtain, or plastic tablecloth placed under the sandbox makes cleanup a little easier.

You will love the PX4. Just make sure to clean and oil the gun before your first range trip.
Also, for some reason, every PX4 9mm mag I have gotten NEW - the follower seems to stick the first time ya load it, unless you disassemble the mag and just wipe down the inside of it. Reassemble, and it doesn't happen. I just use an old wrap that I keep in my range bag. I don't ad any oil other than what's built up on the rag over years

The extended extraction time is directly dependent on the temperature of the honey when extracted. For me, this amounts to ~15 to 20% longer. (Gives me more time to get more frames ready for the next extractor load).
Since I have only medium supers, I can tell you what I use. I keep 2 sizes handy - the 3" and 5 " sizes. The 3 incher is for low areas in the comb or subsurface cappings (PermaComb) and the 5" size when all cappings are on the same level. For full depth honey frames, I'm sure Hackler makes larger sizes. To find you what they are and prices, call him. Also, his website address is on this site somewhere.
Hope this helps.
