Chargers 2010 Mock Draft 3.0
In our third Chargers mock draft of 2010, BOLTHYPE projects the Chargers will address the running back position in the second round after first drafting a coveted defensive tackle.
1st Round: NT Dan Williams, Tennessee
Of all prospects in the 2010 NFL Draft, Dan Williams represents perhaps the most perfect pairing of value and need to the Chargers. And as such, it would be nothing short of amazing if the number one guy on San Diego's board were to be available at the 28th overall selection. Widely regarded the top nose tackle prospect in a draft class deep with defensive linemen, Dan Williams would instantly upgrade and secure one of the Chargers' most glaring holes. As Dan Williams himself has confirmed, the Chargers have shown strong interest in the big 330 pounder, but so have many other clubs. It would be fortunate for the team have Williams fall to them, and there are scenarios in which it could be possible. We can only wait and see...
2nd Round: RB Jonathan Dwyer, Georgia Tech
With Chargers moving up to the top of the second round, they are now in position to draft one of the highest rated workhorse running backs in this draft class. The team is in search of a physical runner who can carry the load and bring an aspect to the offense that the team has lacked: the ability to kill time off of the clock. As primarily a passing team, the Chargers need to bring in someone who can complement their air attack with a physical style of play and Jonathan Dwyer can do just that. At 5'11" 230lbs, Dwyer is a load of a back but also show the open field awareness to find holes in the defense and quickly churn up yards. The Chargers have met with Dwyer already and assuming they like what they see, he could be the guy for them at pick number 40.
3rd Round: CB Javier Arenas, Alabama
On talent alone, Arenas is a top 50 prospect. Not only was Arenas a very good cornerback at Alabama, earning all SEC honors, an All-America selection, as well being a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, but he was also a dynamic return man. His seven punt returns for touchdowns is an SEC record, and he also holds the total punt return yardage record as well. What the 5'9" 195lbs Javier Arenas lacks in size he makes up for with his love for the game and his versatility and willingness to help his team in any way he can. The Chargers love players who can contribute on special teams, and Arenas would certainly bring value there, along with being an almost perfect fit as a nickelback.
4th Round: OT Selvish Capers, West Virginia
A former tight-end turned Offensive Tackle, Selvish Capers is an impressive physical specimen with excellent mobility. However Capers could stand to bulk up as he is a bit light for his frame and position. Nonetheless, with development Capers does appear to be capable of playing tackle in the NFL. The Chargers like their mix of centers and guards, but lack true depth at the tackle position. Capers would be a nice developmental prospect at a premium position and could potentially be a starter down the road.
5th Round: QB Jonathan Crompton, Tennessee
The Chargers are now without quarterback Charlie Whitehurst, and have admitted taht they'd like to draft a young replacement. Jonathan Crompton never quite lived up to expectations but he does have prototype physical attributes and followed up a decent senior season with an impressive pro day. He figures to go off the board in the mid rounds and could be a steal in the fifth.
5th Round: RB Lonyae Miller, Fresno State
The Fresno State Bulldogs excelled at running the ball in a pro-style offense, and Ryan Matthews was certainly a big reason why but his teammate Lonyae Miller often goes overlooked. Miller rushed for over 2000 yards in his four years at Fresno State and maintained an average of 5.5 yards per carry. With an excellent size and speed ratio of 5'11" 221lbs with 4.5 speed, Miller projects to be a solid pro. He'd be a welcome addition to a bleak San Diego backfield.
7th Round: TE Nate Byham, Pittsburgh
At 6'4" 265lbs, Byham is an intimidating figure as a tight end and grades out highly as a blocking specialist. Playing at Pitt under the tutelage of former NFL head coach Dave Wannstedt, one would assume Byham would be able to quickly grasp blocking assignments and help early.

Rob, love this mock draft except for Dwyer. I know there is mutual love between the Chargers and J. Dwyer, but he comes from a funky offense and has freakishly small hands.
another bone to pick, Charlie Whitehurst played at Clemson.
other than that, great work!

Thanks Chris, total brainfart on my part.
- Rob Zepeda said... Mar 26, 2010, 1:57:00 PM
BTW, I think the Chargers could go a number of different directions at running back with guys like Montario Hardesty and Ben Tate all in the mix at 40
I like that you are trying to mix it up in these mocks. The RB possibilities for the Bolts are endless. Tough to see AJ sticking to any "expected" script, since he goes off his own ideas. That's why, since so many mocks feature Matthews / Cody to Bolts, I have a hard time thinking it will happen. Either or both. I think Dwyer is in a free fall, so I would be surprised to see us leap at him at 40, but that might just be why Aj could do the unexpected.

@BrandScottK thanks for the feedback! It's true, I am trying to mix it up and go down the various roads to see how the cookie might crumble.
I agree with you, Matthews/Cody is an unlikely pairing if AJ's past tells us anything, it's that he wont do what everyone expects him to.
I am a very positive person but this may be the worst mock draft I have ever seen. I'll make it brief. 1. Dan Williams will not be available. Anybody who knows draft analysis will know dan Williams is projected in the early to mid first rd and will likely be picked by Miami. Lasting to 28 is heavily unlikely. As for dwyer..Ha!!!! He may be there when we pick in the 3rd rd. He isn't in the top 7 of rb's in this years draft. Spiller, mathews, best, Tate, hardesty and gerhardt are all better backs. Don't believe me... Watch the tape.
How would you know that D-Wall won't be there? And who is to say AJ wont trade up if thats his guy? And for the record Rob isnt the only guy who has us taking Dan Williams at 28:
I believe we will address cb and rb with our first 2 picks... 2 guys I like are kyle wilson and devin macourty, and as far as rb I really like matthews, he is an all around good back and i could see him really fitting into our offense!!! if those cb's are not there I like d.williams but do not believe he is there for us, I really like brian price over cody...I could see cody blowing up to like 400 lbs so too much risk Imo for such a high pick!!!Dwyer will not be the pick imo...but if he is I am throwing my controller through my television,lol!!! good job though other than dwyer
I loved your last mock. This one, however ... I agree with most of the posters that Dwyer sucks. A better value Power-Back would be Anthony Dixon or Charles Scott (maybe Gerhart). My guess is AJ won't be wowed enough to take Cody in the 1st and will draft another CB which he has a history of doing. He could shuffle picks around to move up and grab Dan Williams if he's sold on him also.
I like this mock a lot like people have said before though dan Williams will most likely not be available at 28 unless he pulls a ronnie brown and gets a DUI if dan is available obviously take him but if he is not I say go with Ryan Williams. Even though they need a nose tackle Matthews is a much better value and will prove very effective with sproles. Also the chargers have two nose tackles that they really like. Taking a nose tackle that has a second round grade like terrence cody or cam Thomas will be stupid take Matthews if Williams is gone and get Cody in the second round and yes javier arenas would be a great steal he is an amazing corner
Hands Down Rob Zepeda, You Are the Weakest Link! I would stop watching football if chargers drafted like this. I'm sure glad AJ is in the front office and not you. No wonder why your a writer and not a true analyist. Your skills are definately LACK there of. Ok enough said as your rock solid picks show it all. LMAO
- Rob Zepeda said... Mar 26, 2010, 10:19:00 PM
@ManiCanToo I have no problem with you disagreeing with me but at least tell me where you have issue. As far as I can tell all positions where address with an effort to maximize the value of each position. I will admit that I have intentionally tried to draft a different position in the first round with each of my mock drafts in an effort to see the draft from different angles. I'd love to see what your draft mock looks like, please share.
For the record, any mock draft which includes Dan Williams would be a fantastic start.
I have lsied more than one option but my picks are in order of priority IMO by round.
1-28, Kyle Wison (CB), Mathews (RB), McCourty (CB)
***** Trade with Caralna our 40 and 91 for there 48, 78, and 175. Reason is there is a huge gap between our 2nd and 3rd round picks and I feel it will cause us to reach with the 40th and settle at 91 for a player of less talent at a position of need.
2-48, Veldheer (OT), Saffold (OT), Ducasse (OT)
3-78, Tate (RB) or Akasi Owusu-Ansah (CB) whichever position isn't taken in Round 1
4-126, Jamar Cheney (ILB), Pat Angerger (ILB)
5-159, Linvel Joseph (NT-DE)
5-168, Marcus Easley (WR-ST both gunner and return guy)
6-175, Nate Bynum (TE), M. Hoomanawawui (TE)
7-235, Callahan Bright (NT)
Travis Ivey (NT)
Brady Eldridge (TE)
Nate Overybay (TE)
LaMarcus Coker (RB)
Junior Galette (OLB)
The other factor is this is based on Sproles signing his tender and staying with the team for next season. This would change some if he was traded which BTW, I am in favor of.
A.J. will pick Gerhardt in the second round. He has already shown that he will reach for players that have a great work ethic and who are (just being honest about A.J.) white, as evidenced by him trading up to get Jacob Hester and Eric Weddle. This time however, I think that drafting Gerhardt would be the right call as I feel he is way underrated in this draft.
well, ryan mathews is light-skinned; does that count? jk
A) Dan Williams will NOT FALL TO US!!! He could go as high as 5 to KC!
B) Jonathan Dwyer stinks! He's heavy footed, and slow. He's the RB version of Tim Tebow with that stupid gimic scheme.
C) Arenas is small and slow....bad combination for an NFL corner.
D) Selvish Capers is soft, we need to improve our rushing offense, bad fit.
E) Miller is VERY thin for 220lbs. He's not that explosive, he dances too much, he only hits the BIG holes.
Other than Crompton and Byham this is the worst mock I've seen yet. Your painfully ignorant, your like an uninformed meatball fan with a forum to spout his crap on.
I wish I could push a mute button on all of you sheep, or should I say Dwyer haters. Heavy-footed? This guy didn't get run down in the ACC, he was running AWAY from people to the tune of 1300 yards in back-to-back years and would have won conference honors if not for CJ Spiller. I swear some of you "expert" cementers form hard-ons for ONE player and hate on all the rest. Talk about the total opposite of what REAL NFL personnel people do.
This guy never missed a game due to injury, had only like 5 fumbles in over 500 carries, and is probably one of the best tackle-breakers among all the RBs in this class. You haters make me want to puke!!
nathan vasher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! forget drafting a corner
Response to Dwyer-Fan:
Among draft-able RBs ...
Tiny hands (maybe the smallest of everybody in the draft)
He'll fumble and drop passes against the defenses of the NFL
Tied for lowest reps on the Bench (and he doesn't have long arms either)
Apparently, this "power back" hasn't been in the weight room much
Ran a 4.64 in the 40yd dash (other RBs that slow are 5th rd projections)
Slowest in the 10yd and second slowest in the 20yd dash
Not fast or quick for any distance
Lowest Broad Jump and tied for lowest Vertical
Not explosive
Slowest in the Shuttle and Cone Drills
Not agile
I'm not saying your Combine performance makes you a great player but if you're the worst at your position at the Combine (by far) in every category including your freak-hands, your college production doesn't mean much, especially in a gimmicky offense that gave you gaping holes.
- Jason said... Mar 28, 2010, 3:06:00 PM
I was with you until you said the words Jonathan Crompton. Dude, I've watched SEC football for the past 10 years and have never seen a more underachieving QB. Yes, he LOOKS like an NFL QB...but every time I've seen him, I'm absolutely floored by how bad he is.
Arenas would be a steal in the 3rd, especially if Sproles is gone after this year. Great PR, can step in right away in nickel/dime coverage....what's not to like?
- Jay said... Mar 29, 2010, 2:25:00 PM
chargers sign nathan vasher!
i like the dan williams and crompton pick but i think we should wait to get blount in the 4th or 5th round. his stock has dropped because of off the field issues but noone doubts his on the field ability
I would love for Dan Williams to fall to 28, but other than a trade up in the draft, I don't see him as a SD Charger.. I like Tate, hardesty, Gerhart over Dwyer!! I think Tate could be as good, if not better than Rudi Johnson.. But because of the recent manuvering of moving up in the 2nd round, I think AJ's draft would go alittle like this..
1st rd: Ryan Matthews, RB
2nd rd: Cam Thomas, NT(if Cody is gone)
3rd rd: Daryl Washington, LB
4th rd: Jerome Murphy, DB
5th rd: Kyle Calloway, OT
5th rd: Tony Pike, QB
7th rd: Jimmy Graham, TE
7th rd or FA: Stafon Johnson, RB
Where's the Draft Party happening this year at??
don't know too much about our later rounds but i think with our first 2 rounds we might go the route of
1. Terrence Cody
2. Ben Tate
Not hearing a lot of buzz about Ben Tate but he put up great numbers at the combine and his tape is pretty good. Don't forget he played in the SEC and is coming out of Auburn which is running back U.
what do you guys think?
- Chris said... Mar 30, 2010, 7:58:00 PM
Weighing in again a little late, but i like Ben Tate. Hardesty is good but he is better suited for a Zone Blocking team (cant really call what we do power blocking but it is what we try to do) Gerhart, Tate, Dixon, Dwyer, and Mathews all fit the bill for our team. I really do not want nor see Mathews dropping to us at no. 28. the only concerns for Gerhart is that he carries the ball high (he's 6'1") and doesn't get too low therefore exposing his legs which NFL caliber LB's will take advantage of.
I can also see us trading our 2nd round pick down for a swap and another 3rd rounder. Seeing as how there is a day between 1st and 2nd rounds there will be a lot of trade talk.
If Dan Williams isn't avaliable we have to get Cody. His massive frame is perfect for us and he has shown to drop weight when he needs to. The only
I do NOT see us drafting a CB in the first 4 rounds seeing as how we have signed 2 already this offseason.
I think we should definately draft Dwyer. He has caught plenty of passes at his pro day. He can run guys over, sometimes it takes more than one guy to take him down, he would have no problem running the ball up the middle, and has very few fumbles. Matthews wouldn't get as much yardage with the running plays that we run. We need somebody that break tackles, and Dwyer is probably the best rb in this years draft that can. As for NT, now I'm on the fence with Cody. Cody seems like a true NT, but his work ethic is questionable. Cody is better at stuffing the run than Dan Williams. Dan is better at rushing the passer, but is inconsistant at stuffing the run. Just my 2 cents
speaking of running between the tackles, Gerhardt would be a good fit for this offense
How about:
1) Brian Price-DE(move Vaughn Martin inside)
2) Gerhart-RB
3) Kyle Calloway-OT(had a DUI, but it was on a moped; and he wont last till the fifth round)
4) Torrell Troup - DT
5) Nate Byham-TE
6) Sean Canfield-QB
7) Stafon Johnson-RB
- Chris said... Apr 14, 2010, 7:27:00 PM
Brian Price was reportedly out of shape and looked sluggish in private workouts. He's seen as a DT in 4-3 Defenses only. Vaughn Martin is also better suited at 3-4 DE and not DT/NT, just my opinion.
- Destructo said... Apr 16, 2010, 2:34:00 PM
It will not be Crompton. Mark my words they are picking Matt Nichols from Eastern Washington at QB. He killed at his private workout and follow-up interview. Phillip Rivers even told him "see you shortly after the draft." His collegiate numbers are off the charts...

I watch Star Wars: The Clone Wars, or as I call it, Star Clone, The Wars, because it makes as much sense but is easier to say.
Anyhow, I've tried to figure out for a few seasons what was going to happen to Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker's padawan. I am not a huge fan of Star Wars, but I like this character and I also know what will happen in 'verse. It didn't make sense to me that Snips would be caught in the Jedi Purge, but it is also clear that e wouldn't be killed in the show, either, since it is geared towards children (which better be true, because some of the episodes are so stupid, one would have to have a loose grasp of casuality to accept what is happening).
This last arc was an interesting one, though as I just noted, it was fairly poorly put together, especially considering it lead up to a trial that included many of the stars of the series; if they are honestly bringing up those points in court, it is no wonder the Republic falls. Anyhow, I am not going to spoil what happens, but I got a sense of Ahsoka's fate a couple of episodes ago, and I am happy with how it resolved. There is a touching moment at the end of the latest episode (s05e20), and it got me interested in the larger continuity, beyond my general interest in lazer swords and their application. ^_^

Curry Goat recipe
Hi all
I have a few Jamaican friends who all have different versions of the old family favourite 'curry goat', I like my version best which uses lamb (not mutten or goat) and has a pleasant kick to it!
Take a leg of lamb (preferably with the bone still in), place in a big dish or tray, with your hands massarge in the following: 3 or 4 roughly bruised and chopped spring onions, a sliced onion,1 tspn ground allspice, 2 tbspns jamaican curry powder, 1 tbspn all purpose seasoning, 2 tspns salt, 2 tspns black pepper, 2 tbspns cider vinegar, 2 tbspns olive oil.
Marinate overnight.
Heat a large knob of butter in a big pot, add 2 tbspns ground nut oil, add 1 tbspn jamaican curry powder, 4 crushed garlic cloves, 1 sliced onion and fry gently for a minute then add the marinated lamb along with the marinade and enough chicken stock to come about half way up the lamb, then add a tin of coconut milk and mix well.
Next it's up to you how hot you want this but I find just 1 scotch bonnet chilli is enough!
Take the chilli and pierce it a few times with a fork and plop it in the pot (it will cook down).
Cook covered for at least 4 hours until the meat drops off the bone.
Remove the bone and you should end up with a fairly thick curry in a rich spicy gravy.
It's a lot of effort but it's great to serve at party's or barbeques with rice and coleslaw.
PS - Please do not substitute scotch bonnet chilli for any other - it won't taste right at all!!

Re: Curry Goat recipe
Whassup... the man promises a Goat recipe....then gives you a lamb recipe...
Poor form....

300g/10�oz plain yoghurt
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground turmeric
2 tsp salt
1 onion, peeled, finely chopped
5 garlic cloves, peeled, left whole
6 green chillies
50g/2oz ghee
1 tsp cumin seeds
5 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
4 black cardamom pods, lightly crushed
10 whole cloves
2 bay leaves
750ml/1 pint 7fl oz lamb stock
450g/1lb canned sweetcorn, drained, chopped
For the chickpea bread
300g/10�oz chickpea (gram) flour
200g/7oz plain flour
15g/�oz salt
1cm/�in root ginger, peeled, finely chopped
2 green chillies, finely chopped
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh coriander
1 tsp ajwain (carom) seeds
� tsp black onion seeds
� tsp ground turmeric
2 tbsp vegetable oil
200ml/7fl oz water
1 red onion, peeled, finely chopped
1 spring onion, trimmed, finely chopped
3 tsp ghee
To serve
1 lemon, juice only
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
1. For the goat and sweetcorn curry, mix together the goat meat, yoghurt, coriander, turmeric and salt in a large bowl. Cover and set aside to marinate for one hour.
2. Meanwhile, for the chickpea bread, mix together the chickpea flour and plain flour in a large bowl until well combined.
3. Add the salt, ginger, chillies, coriander, ajwain seeds, black onion seeds and ground turmeric and mix until well combined.
4. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients. Gradually add the oil and water, stirring well, until the mixture comes together as a dough (you may not need to use all of the water). Cover the dough with a damp tea towel and set aside to rest for 15-20 minutes.
5. When the goat meat has marinated, continue with the goat and sweetcorn curry. Blend the onion, garlic and chillies to a smooth paste in a food processor, then set aside.
6. When the goat meat has marinated, heat the ghee in a heavy-based frying pan over a medium heat. Add the cumin seeds, green and black cardamom pods, cloves and bay leaves and fry until the spices begin to crackle and pop and smell fragrant. (CAUTION: Popping seeds can be dangerous. Cover the pan with a lid and keep away from your eyes and face.)
7. Add the marinated goat meat to the pan and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Add the onion, garlic and chilli paste, stir well and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes.
8. Reduce the heat slightly and pour in the lamb stock. Bring the liquid to the boil, then reduce the heat until the mixture is simmering. Continue to simmer for 30 minutes, or until the goat is tender.
9. Add the chopped sweetcorn and continue to simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, stirring continuously, until the sweetcorn starts to break down.
10. Meanwhile, divide the dough for the chickpea bread into 8 pieces and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly between the palms of your hands, and top with some of the chopped red onion and spring onion.
11. Roll the dough balls out onto a lightly floured work surface to a diameter of 20cm/8in.
12. Heat a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. When the pan is hot, add one of the chickpea bread discs and cook for 3-4 minutes, then brush the uncooked uppermost side with a little ghee. Turn the flatbread over and continue to cook for a further 3-4 minutes, or until golden-brown on both sides. Brush the cooked uppermost side of the bread with a little more ghee. Repeat the process with the remaining chickpea breads. Keep the cooked chickpea breads warm while you cook the remaining bread discs.
13. To serve, divide the goat and sweetcorn curry equally among four to six serving plates. Squeeze over a little lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh coriander. Serve with the warm chickpea bread.

LOWELL, Mass. (AP) — A new national poll shows neither Wall Street nor Occupy Wall Street conjuring up strong favorable impressions among the American public.
But protesters fared better than their wealthy corporate targets in the poll conducted for the University of Massachusetts at Lowell and the Boston Herald.
Among 1,005 adults surveyed, 35 percent had a favorable impression of the protest movement that began in New York City and gained support worldwide. Only 16 percent could say the same for Wall Street and large corporations.
Twenty-nine percent had a favorable impression of the tea party movement and 21 percent for government in Washington.
The group surveyed was selected randomly and the poll conducted online from Oct. 28 through Nov. 1. It had a margin of error of 3.8 percentage points.

Hope the Gianst beat Skins with RG playing a great game but not being able to beat the Giants anyway......
wow. A lill sensitive are we. I truly dont wish for injuries. I use to always say that I dont wanna beat the Bulls without Jordan. I want everything the hard way. In my score prediction I said the key to the game is Williams. He's banged up. I said that if he sucks then I think our whole line will suck and you will kill us like you did Carolina. I said even if he doesnt suck, I could see Shanny changing the game plan because of it and going very conservative which also would kill us.
The article didnt say that JPP had a concussion or torn ACL and I never said I wanted him out of the game. I was just thinking that since Trent will be at less than a 100%, Im glad that "maybe" he wont be going against a 100% JPP so it evens it out some. Thats all I meant. I dont want anyone to get hurt
JPP will be their trust me he wants another shot a BOB GRIFFIN.
I just see the statement you made so many times that it just always sounds like BS but that doesnt mean you're one of the people who would wish injuries on players. But even if you did, from all the things ive heard and seen fans say, it would seem natural if you did. It's actually very common and i have no issue with it. This Monday night game is huge. May the best team win =)
I would never want a win like that. I wanna go against the best and say we beat them without any excuses. If Trent was fine then I wouldnt say anything, just like in the 1st matchup but he already had a bad ankle and then against Dallas he got a deep thigh bruise. My biggest pet peeve is Shanny goes conservative at home. So much so that I almost hope we get down by double digits just so he can open it up.
Ithink he opened up more against Philly but still not great. I think he might really do it this game with Garcon getting back on track but if Trent isnt right then he will reign us in and you guys will kill us. I dont want that. Trent did some work today though so hopefully he's good. I know he'll play without a doubt but hope he can be good

Cisco announced today its intent to acquire NewScale, a small, but well-respected automation software vendor. The financial terms were not disclosed, but it is a small deal in terms of money spent. It is big in the sense that Cisco needed the kind of capabilities offered by NewScale, and NewScale has proven to be one of the most innovative and visible players in that market segment.
The market segment in question is what has been described as "the tip of the iceberg" for the advanced automation suites needed to create and operate cloud computing services. The "tip" refers to the part of the overall suite that is exposed to customers, while the majority of the "magic" of cloud automation is hidden from view – as it should be. The main capabilities offered by NewScale deal with building and managing the service catalog and providing a self-service front end that allows cloud consumers to request their own services based on this catalog of available services. Forrester has been bullish on these capabilities because they are the customer-facing side of cloud – the most important aspect – whereas most of the cloud focus has been directed at the "back end" technologies such as virtual server deployment and workload migration. These are certainly important, but a cloud is not a cloud unless the consumers of those services can trigger their deployment on their own. This is the true power of NewScale, one of the best in this sub-segment.

Pho Horn is an enticing place from the outside, with colorful neon bowls sprouting chopsticks, and the proud declaration: Authentic Vietnamese Restaurant. Inside, the attempt is to mellow the appetite provoked by the signs, as the menu displays a boy playing a flute while he sits on a grazing water buffalo.
Strictly speaking, this is not a pho shop, like the more than two-dozen in Boston that offer countless variations, since it offers much more — nearly 100 dishes.
Rhode Islanders still aren't as accustomed to Vietnamese food as they are to Thai cuisine, not to mention Chinese. So bear in mind that although all of the offerings have Vietnamese names — some of them six words long and blooming with diacritical marks — all of the stir fried dishes are Chinese, and there is even a Korean dish here and there, not to mention Cambodian. (To prevent our tongues from getting cramps when ordering, all the items are numbered.)
The only disappointment among our samplings was such a Chinese dish, ga xao ca ry ($8.95), with announced although undetectable curry among a variety of nine vegetables, including snow peas and baby corn. The chicken was generous in amount but sliced cold-cut thin, rather than in juicy chunks, in a very non-Vietnamese thickened dark sauce.
Backing up a bit: I very much enjoyed our appetizer, scallion pancakes ($3.95), crisp triangles with a delicious dipping sauce heavy on the toasted sesame oil. We considered having the Vietnamese crepe ($8.25), which had been recommended, a mixture of shrimp and pork, plus bean sprouts and scallions, nicely sauced in a freshly made rice flour pancake. We'll get it next time.
Read the vegetarian entrée descriptions carefully, because they sneak chicken broth into the noodle and tofu soup. Unusual for pho shops in our experience, from West Coast to East, a vegetarian option isn't available with the 11 pho offerings.
Admittedly, the dish traditionally contains one or more varieties of beef and beef broth, to which one adds from plates of mung bean sprouts, basil leaves, and cilantro. There are chicken and seafood variations here, however.
A successful vegetarian dish we had was the canh chua dau hu, listed as an entrée but, like pho, a soup. It's available in three sizes — $8.95, $9.95, and $11.95 — and medium was more than enough to share as a second starter. The mildly spicy-hot broth was rich without the help of chicken, and the fresh pineapple and tomato chunks brightened things considera-bly. The firm tofu was fried crisply enough to retain some bite.

Man hospitalized after Butte shooting
BUTTE, Mont. - Butte Police say a 23-year old man was sent to the hospital early Sunday morning after being shot at an eastern Butte house.
Sheriff Ed Lester tells NBC Montana police were dispatched to a house on the 2300 block of Elm Street at one am on Sunday.
When they arrived, they found the man shot in the abdomen. They immediately rushed him to St. James hospital, where we're told he is in guarded condition in the intensive care unit.
Sheriff Lester said it appears the man will live. He told us the man was shot with a large caliber, semi-automatic handgun and the wound was not self-inflicted.
At this time, police are interviewing several witnesses and persons of interest. Sheriff Lester said they are trying to determine what happened and identify any suspects.
No one has been detained in the shooting. We will bring you more details as we know them on the News at 5, and at nbcmontana.com.

Home › Forums › General Forums › General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion › Weight gain on backpacking trip
May 16, 2012 at 4:04 pm #1289981
On my last two backpacking trips, I have left on a Friday afternoon and returned Saturday afternoon, hiking about 12-15 miles each trip. Between Friday morning and Sunday morning, I gained 4 lbs each trip. I ate fast food one meal each trip on the way or on the way back but nothing to warrant that amount of weight gain. It has taken about 3-5 days after the trip for my weight to go back to normal. I backpacked a lot last summer and the big weight gain never happened. Has anyone else experienced this?May 16, 2012 at 4:29 pm #1878359

How much sodium do you get in your normal, day-to-day diet? And how much sodium do you have in your hiking food?
The reason I ask, is because I've heard it touted that high-sodium diets (when you're not used to them) can cause water retention as your body attempts to reattain homeostasis. Now, that might not be what's happening…but, if it is…May 16, 2012 at 7:34 pm #1878435

hmmm that's interesting- I average ~ a 1# loss/day for trips up to a week, I eat pretty good too- but there is no way to keep up w/ the calories expended in my experienceMay 16, 2012 at 7:45 pm #1878437
I'd agree…that sounds like bloating. It happened to me each time I was pregnant if I ate too much salt….holy cow I'd puff up for a day or three!May 16, 2012 at 9:26 pm #1878468
thanks so much. That is exactly what happened. I completely avoid salt, especially added salt, in my normal life. But on these last two trips, I ate nuts, seeds, nut bars, beef jerky, Powerade and summer sausage — all high in sodium. It was really freaking me out and it seems to take several days to work itself out of my system. Thanks for the insight. I'll avoid as much salt while I'm backpacking.May 17, 2012 at 6:58 am #1878553
John AlmondMember
@flriderLocale: The Southeast
Note, thought, that you do need more salt on the trail than you do in day-to-day life (assuming that you don't work in a manual labor job). Now, it's unlikely that you'll not get enough if you eat commercially-prepared foods on the trail; most of 'em have more than enough salt in the mix.
But, it is something to keep an eye on if you wind up preparing all of your own food for the trail.
Hope it helps!May 17, 2012 at 12:49 pm #1878695
I'll eat more salt than usual just because I'm backpacking but not as much as I have on my last two trips. I'm actually trying to lose weight so jumping 4-6 lbs in water weight from Sunday through Wednesday is pretty discouraging.May 17, 2012 at 3:06 pm #1878743

@backpackerchickLocale: Planet Earth
High sodium diet could explain this. There are other possibilities though. Were you otherwise well during and immediately after the trip? Any other symptoms? Medical problems? Medications? ?NSAIDS! What altitude?May 17, 2012 at 3:23 pm #1878747
Mark VerberBPL Member
@verberLocale: San Francisco Bay Area
as others have observed, it could be weight gain due to water retention due to extra salt, though my reading of medical lit seems to indicate it's a minor of people who have excessive water gain with semi-normal (but elevated) salt intact. The other possibility is that your body is adapting to a new stress. If the body believes calories in are too low, most people's metabolism adjusts to be more efficient.
–MarkMay 17, 2012 at 4:28 pm #1878769
My health has been fine. I was between 7000-9000 ft but i live at 6800 ft. I backpacked a lot last summer and didn't have big weight gains but my backpacking diet wasn't focused on nuts, seeds and salted meats near as much. I was also eating unsalted nuts last summer. I wondered about metabolism but salt makes the most sense because I avoid it so much normally. I just weighed in 4 days later and I'm finally back to pre-hike weight.May 17, 2012 at 4:37 pm #1878772

I used to get a lot of edema and inflammation when I hiked. I don't anymore and I consume even more salt now than I ever have in the past. What has changed is I don't eat as much packaged and dehydrated stuff and I eat way more fat and protein and no longer eat wheat or oats, sugar or vegetable oil. I do this off the trail as well as on. I have to consume a LOT of salt now and oddly it has the opposite effect it used to have.May 17, 2012 at 6:52 pm #1878815
Andrew McAlisterMember
When you start exercising considerably more than normal, it is a common response for your muscles to retain water (regardless of sodium intake). Hiking (particularly if there is any significant elevation gain) can be pretty intense exercise, and if you aren't working out regularly, may well induce this response in your muscles.
It sounds like last summer, backpacking was 'normal' for you, so you weren't seeing these water weight gains, whereas this season (at least so far) sounds like it has been a little less active.May 17, 2012 at 8:14 pm #1878838
It is so amazing how our bodies are made to protect us and help us handle stress and sudden muscle exertion. Sounds like a combination of these factors.May 17, 2012 at 9:51 pm #1878864
Hart –BPL Member
@backpackerchickLocale: Planet Earth
Healthy kidneys should be able to rid the body of excess salt…up to a point. NSAIDs (ie. ibuprofen, naproxen, celecoxib, etc), especially when used in large quantities, tend to cause fluid retention via their effect on the kidney. This can be more pronounced when the kidneys aren't functioning effectively for whatever reason.
Yes, it is no doubt the sum effect of a number of factors. I would probably be somewhat concerned though. Consider consulting a physician and having a few simple blood tests and a urinalysis.May 17, 2012 at 9:56 pm #1878865

One thing brought up is your body adjusting to commercial food versus at home foods. If you eat a low-sodium diet at home it can be odd for your body if you are consuming cruddy high-sodium foods on trail and then add in altitude and heat.
I was eating low-sodium for years until we went off nearly all processed foods and found I HAD to salt my food while cooking – since there was little in the raw ingredients. I was getting plenty even on a low-sodium diet it turned out.
Anyhow, from what I went over with a couple Dr's years ago is that as long as you are getting say 1500 mg a day you have little to fear – unless you are doing extreme sports like 100 mile runs or desert hiking. The average hiker is getting plenty of sodium just in their food.
But! Be sure you are getting enough potassium as well – it can be throwing off your body. Should you choose say potato chips for a salty snack you are getting potassium. Have this with your water at break time, no reason to drink flavored water! Or apricots or bananas….
PS: If you can, learn to love raw nuts. It takes awhile but your body will thank you!May 17, 2012 at 11:26 pm #1878878

> If you eat a low-sodium diet at home …
you can also be iodine-deficient. That's why most salt is iodised today.
Plenty of substitutes on the market – kelp pills for example. Yes, they can make a difference.

i'm so glad I posted my question. All these suggestions are so great. My weight was completely back down this morning. I won't be backpacking this weekend but might take a hike.

As long as one uses regular salt and not just 100% sea salt they will be fine (at least in the US). Iodine is added to table salt……..May 18, 2012 at 8:03 am #1878945
David UreMember
Increase your water intake. You are likely not drinking enough on the trip and your body is compensating by retaining fluids, which is highly dependent on what kind of physical shape you are in (i.e. someone who sweats a lot will retain more fluid).May 18, 2012 at 1:18 pm #1879019
Bob GrossMember
@b-g-2-2Locale: Silicon Valley
"As long as one uses regular salt and not just 100% sea salt they will be fine (at least in the US). Iodine is added to table salt…….. "
Iodine is not added to sea salt because it is already there. Kelp extracts iodine from the salt water around it. Sea salt has lots of trace elements. The problem is that they appear in uncontrolled quantities. That isn't bad, but it is just uncontrolled.
–B.G.–May 18, 2012 at 1:46 pm #1879029
I'll admit I don't use table salt – I use kosher and fine sea salt. I don't worry though because I eat such a varied diet :-)May 18, 2012 at 2:24 pm #1879041

d kBPL Member
I have had the same thing happen to me, and I've always suspected it was because I'm exercising much more than I do normally (thanks for confirming that concept, Andrew). It always drops back down within a few days, so it did not appear to be real added fat or muscle, just a temporary phenomenon. My other theory was that perhaps altitude changes somehow affected fluid balance temporarily, but this one (muscles retaining water after increased exercise) makes more sense to me.

Comic Relief
19 Apr 2008 - 28 Sep 2008
Humour is a rich vein running through contemporary art, appearing in diverse forms that include bursts of genuine laughter, dry and clever wit, subtle asides, obscure in-the-know nods, surreptitious giggles, and liberatory mirth. The German philosopher Kuno Fischer proposed that "a joke is a playful judgement"; indeed, many artists smuggle in cultural critique beneath a cloak of humour to poke fun at power and authority, destabilize our sense of normalcy, and offer hopeful resistance. Drawing upon the Contemporary and Indigenous collections, as well as integrating loaned works, this exhibition will exercise facial and belly muscles in its exploration of humour as an avenue for aesthetic pleasure and critical discovery.


text: ARLINGTON, Texas -- Jerry Jones has consistently said he likes the direction of the Dallas Cowboys under coach Jason Garrett, but the owner/general manager called that kind of talk "hollow" after the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day loss. The 38-31 loss to the Washington Redskins dropped the Cowboys to 5-6 this season, putting them in serious jeopardy of missing the playoffs for the third consecutive season. The Cowboys failed to come back from a 25-point halftime deficit against the Redskins, the fourth consecutive home game the Cowboys have trailed by double digits. "That would be real difficult right now because you would have to point to things like comebacks, and that's hollow when you are not winning the game," Jones said. "Or last week, we win one (against the Cleveland Browns) and we have to come back to win it, but we don't win it playing well. So that's hollow right now." Jones noted that Garrett had not "lost the team," meaning the Cowboys continue to play hard. That, however, is meeting minimum requirements, not Jones' expectations for a proud franchise that has won only one playoff game in the last 15 seasons and employed six coaches during that span. "I don't want to be talking about looking through," Jones said. "Our expectations were to compete for the playoffs and then whatever else we can get when you get there, compete for. We know you've got to be playing well when you get there. We've had some setbacks on some injuries, but that's not the difference out here right now at all." http://espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/story...s-cowboys-says-pointing-positives-loss-hollow

Nikon 1 NIKKOR VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6
Further readings for the Nikon 1 NIKKOR VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
The Nikon 1 J5 is the latest iteration of the 1-series mirrorless J-range models aimed at what the maker calls "everyday" users. Read on to find out how well the sensor in this new model performs.
After the announcement of the flagship Nikon 1 V3 the company revealed a new less expensive model sharing many of the features, including the 18-Mpix CX format (1-inch type) sensor with an improved hybrid AF system including 105 on-chip phase-detection points covering most of the frame, and new Expeed 4 level processor. Read on to find out how well this new model performs.
Launched alongside the Nikon 1 V3 hybrid camera on the 13th March 2014, the VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 PD-Zoom and VR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 are two new lenses for the CX-format Nikon 1 series. Boosting the number of Nikon 1 lenses to 11, the system now boasts lenses covering a focal range of 6.7-300mm, which is equivalent to 18-810mm in 35mm terms.
When launched, the EOS-M complete with the EF-M 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM zoom was $899, but the kit can now be had for as little as $345. With lens available separately for $269 that sounds too good to be true. Read on to see how well the combination performs.
Designed with compactness in mind, micro 4/3 lenses go for the smallest size possible most of the time. But to achieve these dimensions, they sometimes have to compromise on image quality. In this review, we cover a wide range of standard lenses, both prime and zoom, and show that not all lenses are equal in terms of the trade-off between compactness and image quality.
A few weeks ago, Nikon announced the Nikon 1 series that we had the chance to test immediately. For this new format of camera, Nikon also designed a completely new format of lenses, the "Nikon 1 mount," for which we are publishing the measurements today.
Nikon put a lot of effort to design lenses that offer the best balance of image quality and portability, and apparently it paid off. Let's look closely at how these lenses perform compared to their direct competitors.
The long awaited and rumored mirrorless Nikon camera was finally announced today. And it's not just one but a pair of new mirrorless compact "1 System" cameras that are coming to compete with the Sony NEX 7, the Pentax Q, the Olymps PEN EP3 or even the Fujifilm FinePix X10. These 2 first models in this new Nikon 1 series are the Nikon J1 and Nikon V1.

Test series 1 lenses vs FX & DX Nikkor lenses with the FT-1 adapter
We have seen the test results of both types of lenses FX/DX and the Series 1 lenses on their respective sensors or cameras, but in my opinion it would be great if we could get a comparison test for both the DX/FX lenses installed on the Nikon V1/V2 by means of Nikons FT-1 adapter and se how they compare with the native series 1 lenses. Taking into consideration the fact that due to the huge 2.7 crop factor the CX sensor of the series 1 cameras have, it would be very interesting to see how well the 30-110 VR does for example with the 15-105 VR of the DX series with the mentioned FT-1 adapter on the same CX sensor. In theory since on the DX/FT-1 set we only use the center of the lens image, we could find that the aberrations, vignetting and other radial aware defects found on such a lens are left out of the equation, giving as a result a better overall quality picture. For that matter how about the result of a 300 f/1.4 VR2 image as seen in the V1 CX sensor compared to the cropped-to-size portion on a D4 sensor? I bet in both cases we would find interesting results due to the very different behaviour of the CX and FX sensors and the fact that on the CX sensor be are only using the better part of the image produced by such a terrific lens.
Thank you,
Spanish Flyer

Re: Test series 1 lenses vs FX & DX Nikkor lenses with the FT-1 adapter
I also would like to see this. I use the 18-105, 50/1.8 (AF-S) and 55-300 via the adapter, and it certainly seems to me that there's advantages all round - no vignetting at all, barely any chromatic aberration, and an arguable increase in sharpness. This seems to match the comparison results (when you scale the DX sensor results to take account for the cropped size), but I'd still like to see an honest head-to-head test.

Re: Test series 1 lenses vs FX & DX Nikkor lenses with the FT-1 adapter
Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.
For now it was not planned because we feel that FX/DX lenses are too large and heavy for Nikon1 series. The real advantage for Nikon 1 camera is compactness. But it is an interesting proposition.
Best regards,
The DxOMark team

I've also used the new AF-S 80-400 on a Nikon 1 V1. A co-worker uses the 300/f4 on one. The high crop ratio makes these useful with big lenses, regardless of the body size.

Webcast: Global regulatory reform
The next few months are expected to bring a crystallization of the new financial regulatory landscape as regulators in the US and the EU issue final rules. While many aspects of these reforms will follow consistent themes under the G20, FSB and Basel standards, global firms must still adapt their business model to a fluid landscape across multiple jurisdictions.
Moreover, the aggregate impact of reforms could have profound commercial implications on each company's business strategy and structure.

The Pick Up: The Real Secrets of Online Dating
Here's what you're doing wrong on dating sites
Do dating sites work? Can you find high-quality women there? Or are they all fakes, flakes and Medusa look-alikes? And more to the point — if there are hot women on dating sites, can an average guy get with them?
A year ago, I asked Derek Cajun, a star Love Systems instructor, to take a year off and do field research. I chose Cajun because he's very good at Love Systems, but he isn't an especially good looking guy. You might know him from Keys to the VIP, a TV show that follows men in nightclubs with hidden cameras as they pick up women. (Cajun won — check out clips from the TV show below.)
Earlier this year, Cajun brought back his results and they blew everyone away. Not only had he completely adapted the Love Systems method to online dating, but he was meeting and attracting high-quality women even easier than at bars, clubs or parties. There isn't space to share his complete system here, but here are three tips you can start using right away:
(These tips are excerpted from Derek Cajun's book, The Gentleman's Guide to Online Dating)
Tip 1: Your pictures matter a lot. But not in the way you think.
Obviously, the better you look in your pictures, the better your odds. If you don't know which photos make you look best, put a bunch of them on Hot or Not or another photo rating site and let women tell you.
But much more important is that your photos tell a story about you. You know how they say a picture is worth 1000 words? That's literally true. In experiments, women took almost ten times as much information about you from your pictures as your description. Want to tell her you're an outdoorsy guy? Skip the essay on hiking — include a picture of you on the trail instead. Want her to know you're fun and popular? Add in a picture of you with friends goofing around at the beach. Educated professional? Make sure there's a picture of you in a power suit.
Remember from the article on how to dress to pick up women that when a woman first meets you, she's going to think of you as "the _______ guy." Confusing your identity isn't attractive — tell her in words and pictures who you are.
Tip 2: Don't appear to be taking the site seriously.
Most high-quality women don't want a guy who hangs around on dating sites. (Unfair, since she's there too? Maybe. But life isn't fair.) So goof around a bit. Don't think of your time on the site like a job interview. Act like someone who is used to women being interested in you. Give the impression that you came to the site for amusement and because "why not?" (Stay positive — don't let your attitude be disdainful.)
With this general attitude, you can short-circuit a conversation after a couple messages with a line like "You know, I just came here to mess around but you actually seem really cool. Give me your number and I'll call you in 10 minutes." It works almost every time.
Tip 3: Get off the site ASAP.
Sending messages back and forth on the site doesn't help you much. It slots you into a very narrow part of her existence ("this is when I talk to some of the millions of internet guys who like me"). Get "sticky" in her life so you can use other channels. In person is best, of course, but text messaging makes a good intermediate step (and one of my next columns here is going to be about picking up women via text message). Even direct email, Facebook or carrier pigeon is better than only interacting with her on a dating site.
This is especially important with the most attractive women, who tend to only use dating sites for a few days at a time. Blink and they're gone.
This is obviously all just scratching the surface of how to date beautiful women online. You can find videos, interviews and the book itself on the Gentleman's Guide to Online Dating website.

<p>The latest Roxy ad has the surf world in a uproar. Find out why. </p>
The surf world was in an uproar this week (well, as big an uproar as the laid-back, stoned surf world can muster) over the release of Roxy's latest trailer, an "official teaser" for the Roxy Pro Biarritz, a World Tour surfing event, that in the words of one writer from Surfer Magazine "might just decide the 2013 World Champion."
That same writer took exception to the video (which you can see below):
"I wasn't surprised by Roxy's attempt to market their upcoming competition in Biarritz with this video; I was, however, bewildered by it. This is a trailer for a surf contest. And not just any surf contest, a World Tour event…it's the vessel for sharing with the world what women's competitive surfing is all about. And yet not a single wave is ridden."
It seems her male counterparts were equally confused by Roxy's attempt to promote the event and so the question was asked: "Whom is this intended to appeal to? Young girls with aspirations for topless greatness? Those in search of a new source for partial nudity? (The Internet doesn't have enough of that.) This appears to be aimed at the lowest-common-denominator, a last-ditch effort to get consumers interested in something that the producers don't believe can stand on its own merit."
Seems that Roxy has adopted the sex sells strategy to try and pitch the women's surfing circuit to a mass audience, and maybe it will work (we're watching it here next weekend), but Surfer should hardly be surprised; Roxy has been doing this for a long, long time:

Understanding Texas Auto Insurance Quotes.
For many drivers in Texas, understanding the language of an auto insurance quote can be a bit confusing. Companies offer many different services and when issuing a quote, they may ask for the basic details about yourself and your vehicles, then when presenting the quote, will offer several different numbers. They may also offer the ability to customize the quote using drop down menus and toggles for different aspects of coverage. In the state of Texas the bare minimum required by law is 30/60/25 liability. For those unsure what they or other terms mean, the following is a brief guide to understanding Texas auto insurance quotes they may receive online.
The many different options available that may be included in a quote:
It is always a good idea to speak with someone when possible to help explain each aspect of a quote, when that is not possible or feasible, understanding general insurance terms and aspects is the next best thing. In Texas, 30/60/25 liability refers to the minimal insurance coverage needed. This means having a policy that covers $30,000 each injured person, $60,000 total personal injures, and $25,000 in property damages per accident. Beyond this point, there is no other legal requirement, yet many drivers opt for more. Each additional step of coverage can add to the total premium for the policy. Aside from basic liability, there are often different levels of liability as well. In addition to liability, there are also some other major aspects to Texas auto insurance quotes.
Collision: Collision coverage can help pay for damages done to your vehicle during an accident. This is applied regardless of who was at fault. With collision coverage the company will generally take the value of the car, minus the driver's deductible and pay out the remainder. If a car is totaled during an accident it can help cover the costs in part, or fully, to replace it. The additional costs for this coverage can vary depending on how much of a deductible they are willing to pay.
Comprehensive: The best way to think of comprehensive is to consider damage that can happen to a vehicle that does not involve it colliding with anything. For Texas car insurance quotes, comprehensive tends to include inclement weather damage. If a hurricane or severe tropical storm hits and sends debris through the windows while it is parked in the driveway, or any other instance where you are not even driving or in the vehicle and damage occurs, comprehensive coverage will help pay for most or all of the repair costs.
Towing, labor, rental, and roadside: Many insurance companies also offer the option of getting towing, labor, and roadside assistance as separate of bundle packages. These plans help cover the costs should the vehicle need minor and major repairs, or becomes broken down while on the road. Some also offer reimbursement or discounts on car rental while the primary vehicle is being repaired. If Texas car insurance quotes do not include these services, they can be obtained from a separate company, such as AAA.
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection(PIP): Sometimes listed separately, these two aspects of coverage are designed to help supplement the costs of additional medical bills, aftercare costs while recovering, and funerals. Should a driver or passenger be seriously injured and require additional care, or suffers lost wages, PIP will help cover up to 80% of these costs. For higher than covered medical or even funeral expenses, medical payments coverage can help cover those costs for the driver, family member, or other passenger in the covered vehicle.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM): The rate of UM/UIM drivers is around 20%, which means there are over one million uninsured drivers in the state. In some areas such as Dallas, the rate is around 1 out of 6 drivers is considered a UM/UIM. Most Texas auto insurance quotes include coverage against these motorists as an option. It can help cover your vehicle when the other driver does not have adequate coverage.
How you can save on Texas auto insurance quotes:
Consider your wants after your needs. Beyond basic liability,what else may be beneficial to have? Everything that can be taken away from the policy will reduce its costs in most cases. PIP and medical coverage is often redundant if a driver already has health and or disability insurance. In truth, the only facets that tend to be covered best by auto insurance companies are: liability, collision, comprehensive, and UM/UIM. Anything else can often times be found elsewhere for less, or is already being covered. Older vehicles also tend to benefit less from collision because after repairs and deductibles the end payment may be less than what the plan premium difference was for the year. Consider what you would do if you have a major accident, what would you have coverage for and what would you lack? This question can help answer what parts of Texas auto insurance quotes to adjust in order to get the best price for what is both needed and wanted.

Bluegrass legend makes stop in Bristol
BRISTOL, Tn. - Bluegrass legend Dr.Ralph Stanley played a concert in downtown Bristol Sunday night as part of his "farewell tour."
Stanley performed at Machiavelii's as part of a four day Halloween event at the restaurant.
Stanley played Sunday evening with the Clinch Mountain Boys at a place where Stanley got his start.
"It's a wonderful thing to do obviously with Dr. Ralph and his brother Carter Stanley's career starting on the farm and fun TV show on WCYB," said Stanley's manager Josh Trivett. "It only makes sense to have an early component of the farewell tour here in Bristol, with the early stages of his career starting in Bristol."
Trivett also tells us the tour has been emotional for Stanley and they are thinking about extending the tour so he can perform a little longer.

The Providence Journal, offering a rare window onto its own affairs, recently reported that the newspaper could start charging for access to large swaths of projo.com as early as the first quarter of next year.
And with that, the broadsheet glommed onto the latest brilliant idea for saving a failing industry: require customers to pay for your product.
Rupert Murdoch, whose media empire includes the New York Post and Britain's The Times, has pledged to erect "pay walls" around his newspapers' Web sites. The New York Times is expected to announce a barrier of its own before the end of the year. And a recent survey from the American Press Institute found fully 60 percent of newspaper executives considering the move.
A few papers — the Wall Street Journal, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in Little Rock, and the Newport Daily News here in Rhode Island — have taken the plunge already. But can pay walls save an industry hobbled by plummeting advertising revenue and sharp declines in circulation?
It's a tough sell.
The main problem for the ProJo, and other metropolitan papers weighing the idea, is one of expectations. Influenced in no small part by a newspaper industry that has heretofore given away its product, consumers expect the news to be free. And changing the rules at this late date could prove difficult.
A Boston Consulting Group survey of 5000 consumers in nine Western countries released last month found just 48 percent of regular Internet users in the United States willing to pay for the news online — tying Britain for last place in the poll. And that was the promising survey. A Forrester Research poll put the figure at 20 percent.
That's not to say that all media outfits will fail if they charge for online content. The WallStreet Journal and Britain's Financial Times have fared reasonably well on the Web, as have some trade papers. But these publications, as news industry analyst Ken Doctor notes, are specialized reads with little competition. "General newspapers, most of what they write about is written about by other people," says Doctor, author of the forthcoming book Newsonomics.
Indeed, if metro newspaper Web sites start asking readers for cash, local television and radio Web sites will undoubtedly sense an opportunity to pick up substantial traffic — and the advertising that goes with it. And newspaper companies, in turn, will have a harder time selling advertisers on Web sites with declining readership.
But for newspaper executives considering pay walls, building a profitable Web operation may be beside the point. When the Newport Daily News began charging for access to its online edition earlier this year — at substantially higher prices than a newspaper subscription — the aim was not to build online revenue, but to drive readers back to a far more profitable print model.
Indeed, says Dan Kennedy, an assistant professor of journalism at Northeastern University in Boston, the pay wall is not an Internet strategy at all — it's a print strategy. And "to the extent that it slows down the demise of the print edition," he says, that strategy could work. But erecting a pay wall, he emphasizes, will only slow the demise of the print product. It won't stop it.

The vengeful act of crapping on a lover's chest while they sleep.Buy the plush
Comedic literary sub-genre seen most frequently on the internet rather than print publications. Written predominantly by men and targeted largely to males aged 16-24, webcasm is a usually bombastic, snarky, matter-of-fact prose style, the trademark of which is usually hyperbole delivered in a matter-of-fact deadpan voice. Most recently developed and popularized by the writers of websites such as Somethingawful.Com and Maddox.xmission.com, and later aped by larger commercial outfits such as Cracked.Com. Popular for its political incorrectness and confrontational style, webcasm is the preferred writing style of many aspiring bloggers and would-be web humorists.
Webcasm: "When the developers came up with the plot for Ninja Crusaders, there were undoubtedly celebratory paperclip shurikens all around the boardroom. See, psychotic face-eating aliens have invaded Earth, and the only thing that can stop them is badass, pajama-wearing ninjas. Nothing encompasses more prepubescent awesome than a ninja beating up aliens, except maybe a ninja that can fucking turn into a scorpion beating up aliens."
