A person who is rather gorgeous, caring and straight forward. She can be rather mute and come off as too overbearing or strong at first, but once she knows you she's rather acceptive, caring, kind, funny and protective of those she loves. She can be aggressive and a bit territorial when challenged or rubbed the wrong way: She'll be quite the mean bitch and rip you a new one (but only when she needs to be). She doesn't tolerate bullshit and isn't afraid to get into a fight. She's funny and loves to make others laugh- loving to laugh herself. She can often be a Dork, but she's still scared/concerned of what others think. She is a passionate lover and will easily fall in love, she wears her heart on her sleeve. She's a great kisser and can bring a lot of pleasure to the table. She can get very heated and intense quickly (if you can find her turn on spot ;D )- sometimes even kinky. She enjoy's pressure and likes to be pushed. She's very strong and intimidating but She still has a kind, gentle and fragile heart. She swallows pain & tears without a second thought She can be very stubborn, hard-headed and stand-offish. She is truly a great friend to have- listening to every word and only giving advise if She's 100% sure about what she is saying- otherwise she will simply let you vent. She is protective of her friends and family. She'll stand behind you all they way if your her friend or family member. If you have Dacey- for a lover, family member or a friend- never let her go.

Salt Flats Tour

Hide lines
We had to get an overnight bus down to Uyuni from La Paz - 12 hours. All started well, nice bus, food provided but after an hour we were told to close curtains as protesters were throwing stones in the street (usual strory - peasants revolting due to bad pay / no voice etc.). Luckily nothing bad happened so we carried on, but the roads seemed to disappear which meant the remaining 10 hours was spent vibrating as the bus sped along dirt tracks.
Day 1
After absolutely no sleep we arrived in Uyuni and had some breakfast...it was freezing
We set out in the jeep and first stop was an old train graveyard, of course we clambered over them like it was a giant play area! We went on to stop at a small town where artisans were trying to flog anything you can imagine made from salt. Surprisingly enough, the ground did taste of salt. Driving over the Salar de Uyuni was awesome - simply mile upon mile of....salt. We stopped off at a holtel / museum made intirely of salt which was quite interesting. Then we drove to Isla Incahuasi, an island in the middle of the salt flats filled with Cacti, some of which are over 1000 years old. We did a walking tour to the top of the island and had views over miles of plain white. After this we drove into the middle of nowhere and took some perspective photos sitting on pringles tins etc. We weren{t particularly good at this as you probably can see.
We were told the accomodation and food were going to be pretty dire so were not looking forward to the night. For some reason however we were put up in a immaculate salt hotel - everthing was made of salt including the beds, walls, tables, chairs, etc
Day 2
We had to get up early and headed away from the salt flats over arid lands whete the scenery changed to mountains and volcanoes. We drove to some lagoons where there were loads of flamingos feeding on the mineral rich waters. The best lagoon that we visited was Laguna Colorada, which, as you can see from the photos is red in colour. After this we headed to our hotel for the second night. As the sun set temperatures dropped massively to around -20, not nice. The hotel wasnt as nice as the first one but still far better than expected. We went to bed pretty early as the following morning we had to get up before sunrise.
Day 3
Alarms went off at 5, it was so cold during the night we all slept in what we were to go out in so it was simply a case of rolling out of bed into the jeep
After eating we headed to Laguna Verde, nearly 5000m in altitude, a lagoon with green waters overlooked by a huge volcanoe nearly 6000m high.
This was one of the best tours we�ve done, though bloody freezing. The whole thing only set us back just over 50 quid so great value as well! We finnished the tour and boarded a bus to San Pedro de Atacama, in the middle of the desert.........................

Janeane Garofalo: Is someone paying Herman Cain to be a tea-party token?
posted at 5:31 pm on August 18, 2011 by Allahpundit
She's quite serious, which makes this clip blogworthy even though it's just the latest in a long, long, long line of paint-by-numbers racial demagoguery from Garofalo on Olbermann's show. Even the core criticism is recycled. Remember when she made the same charges about "Stockholm syndrome" and tea-party tokenism against Clarence Thomas a few months ago? You can see her roots as a comic in these segments — they're essentially just "bits" in which she runs through her routine, the emcee grunts with approval, and the liberal audience cheers in appreciation of an old performer whom they think fondly of. She's basically the Bob Hope of brainless left-wing race-baiters. In fact, watch to the end and you'll see that Olby rounds off the segment with a sophomoric photo reel of Republicans eating corn dogs at the Iowa state fair. That's very much true to the spirit of this "discussion." What would a vaudeville act be without a dick joke?
There's no sense complaining about how searingly demeaning this is to Herman Cain. Garofalo's smart enough to realize that and obviously doesn't care, and no doubt Cain's built up a thick skin to it after years and years and years of similar insults from Our Moral Superiors. Instead, focus on the sheer stupidity of her idly wondering whether Karl Rove, of all people, might be paying Cain under the table to run for president. Does she really not understand, even as a casual observer of Republican politics, how bitter the relationship is between Rove and the tea party? Did she not do two seconds of googling before this to check what Rove has said about Cain's candidacy? Even as a conspiracy theorist, she's terrible. But good enough for "Countdown," I guess.

Discussion in 'Sports Zone' started by juck, Sep 25, 2012.
I mean refs control every other sport to the max. Vegas has no sports teams for a reason.
Baseball refs have been terrible for ever ever moving strike zones
The umps always have a nice strike zone for the Yankees tho.
Yes, everything's fixed and against your teams.
True dat lol
Against ur team as well.
Yankees - Lakers - Cowboys
I don't see why anyone who was convinced Sports were fixed, would bother to watch. As a kid, I LOVED professional wrestling, but once I realized it was fake, I stopped watching. Almost instantly. The day I believe the NFL is fixed or choreographed, I'm done. Done watching, done carring and done in general, just no point imo.
They helped out Glavin and Maddux I know old braves fan
MLB is probably historically the dirtiest pro sport in America :laugh2:
All day every day.
Baseball has been just about the only sport that isn't "tainted" by officiating for a while.
Now, they have a huge steroid problem and always will because the cheaters are ahead of the game at every step of the way.
But as far as officiating goes, there are more judgement calls in a single baseball game then there are in any other sport.
Every pitch is a judgement call, every close play at first and every close play at any base.
But, for the most part I think the baseball officials get the calls rights. Now, maybe it's because baseball leaves little room for doubt. There is no joint possession rule and there isn't a lot of the BS that there is in the NFL regarding subjectivity.
Baseball has it's rules and they change very little. By nature, they really can't change all that much.
Every year the NFL institutes about a half dozen new rules and the rulebook has become so cumbersome and convoluted that on any given day, you're likely to get opposite rulings on similar plays. Also, the breadth of the rulebook often times over rules common sense. I guess in the flimsiest of stances you could say there was joint possession last night in the Packers game but any person with a set of eyes and understanding of the game would flat out agree that the Packer intercepted that ball. This isn't basketball where merely touching the ball is enough to cause a "Jump Ball" and thus award possession to the receiver.
Baseball is likely at the top in terms of on-field performance although they have less to take into consideration than football or basketball does.
It's confusing, but do what you do I guess haha.
why is it confusing?
Baseball is rigged in other ways. Yankees $200 million plus in payroll, KC Royals $61 million. Heck even an average teams like the Rockies have no shot to sustain winning baseball at $80 million. Sports is suppose to be about competition, that isnt very competitive.
It only seems that way because the Yankees can hit.
Every team has the same ability to spend on players. Since the owners will not open the books, you can not say that the Yankees or any other team has more money to spend then any other team. You can't confirm what other teams are making and how much owners are pocketing as opposed to spending.
Actually baseball is the easiest to officiate and I disagree on it having more judgment calls.
It has more VISIBLE calls, but there are far more decisions to make in basketball. Football is close too.
Success in officiating basketball is more on what is not called. You have thousands of "calls" to make in a basketball game...it is that 95% of them don't have a whistle.
This sounds like a Yankees fan response.

You can make an arguable case that Brian Gionta scored the most important goal of your Montreal Canadiens season.
The proof will be in the postseason pudding.
Imagine the scenario if the Captain had not put that nifty penalty-shot move on Cam Talbot in Overtime.
What if the Canadiens had lost against a team resting its number-one goaltender, its top two defencemen and its prize late-season acquisition.
The New York Rangers who outshot the home team 41-27 and held the Canadiens scoreless through 62:04 accomplished this without Henrik Lundqvist, Ryan McDonagh, Dan Girardi or Martin St. Louis.
What if this depleted Rangers lineup had won … which they would have had Carey Price not been brilliant yet again?
The Canadiens would be starting the playoffs on a three-game losing streaks.
The players would be demoralized.
The fans would be plumbing the depths of despond.
And the Tampa Bay Lightning would be licking their chops (does Lightning have chops?) at the prospect of facing an opponent reeling into the first round.
Instead, the Lightning go into Washington on Sunday needing a win to secure second place in the Atlantic Division and home ice against the Canadiens. A loss in OT or a Shootout won't be enough. It would leave the Lightning and Canadiens tied at 100 points, with the CH holding the tie-breaker because they have more wins in regulation or overtime.
So yeah, Gionta scored a HUGE goal.
A dramatic goal.
And an entirely appropriate goal, because a pre-game ceremony honoured Gionta as the Canadiens' unsung hero of the 2013-'14 season.
Gionta scored 18 goals this season. That's the fewest he's ever had in a full injury-free season.
Gionta's contract is up this year. He is probably playing his last season in Montreal.
Was he worth $5 million this season. Probably not.
But Gionta has showed up in every one of the 303 regular-season and 28-playoff games he's played for the Canadiens. He has an impeccable work ethic and leads by example.
Moreover, Gionta's contract is not the most egregious on a roster that includes Daniel Brière ($4 million) and Rene Bourque ($3.3 million).
Brière and Bourque were Gionta's linemates against the Rangers. On a night when few of the home team's forwards distinguished themselves, the line was not the team's worst. I wouldn't be surprised to see Michel Therrien keep them together for at least the beginning of the first game of the playoffs.
We know the David Desharnais-Max Pacioretty-Thomas Vanek line will be intact. There might have been some cases of overpassing as DD and Vanek tried to feed Max for his 40th goal, but the unit is far and away the most dangerous line at Therrien's disposal.
While Gionta was getting the Jacques Beauchamp Trophy and Carey Price was presented with the Molson Cup for his superlative season –the shutout was his sixth, and Price's GAA of 2.32 was the best of any goaltender who faced more than 1,800 shots this season – there should have been recognition of the Canadiens centre who played with the most wingers this season.
Give the silver revolving-door to Tomas Plekanec. Is there anyone Pleks hasn't centred this season? With Brendan Gallagher on his right, Plekanec had Michäel Bournival and Dale Weise on his left wing at various times against the Rangers.
They were, unsurprisingly, kept off the scoresheet.
Finding linemates for Plekanec is not Therrien's greatest challenge heading into the playoffs. Of greater concern is the Canadiens' power play.
An 0-for-3 against the Rangers ran the PP's futility record to 0/23 over eight games. Because the Canadiens are something less than an even-strength juggernaut (23rd in the league), the Canadiens have to score on the power play. And PP potency has to act as a deterrent against teams taking liberties with the Canadiens' smurf-laden lineup … especially in the postseason.
It's not a coincidence that the power play has struggled since P.K. Subban stopped scoring. After scoring 11 goals in 42 games en route to winning the Norris Trophy, P.K. had 10 in 82 games this season.
His last goal was March 3 in Los Angeles, two days after his last power play goal, against Toronto at the Bell Centre. Opposing penalty-kill units focus on P.K. and Andrei Markov at the points, and the Canadiens have to figure out a way to either open the shooting lanes or create some pressure down low.
They'll have a few days to work on the PP – and on defensive zone coverage that was woeful against the Islanders and Rangers.
But I'll warp this up on a positive note:
The Canadiens reached the 100 oint mark for the first time since the 2007-'08 season, when they had 104.
The Canadiens are among eight teams with triple-digit point totals this season.
Tampa Bay, with 99 points, can join the group.
Let's hope not.

Nice pack! Is it worth the weight?
Do you need the bivvy? (I'm not familiar with the coverage of that tarp.)
No sleeping pad?Jul 26, 2012 at 11:05 am #1897725
doh, i forgot to list my sleeping pad. it has been corrected.
the backpack is a guilty pleasure for sure. it scales well from weekend outing to long distance trek. i have thought about a Go-Lite Jam, but i think i would miss some of the features of the McHale. i love the look i get from new hiking partners when i remove the backpack that doubles as a sit pad.Jul 26, 2012 at 2:00 pm #1897771

Your list looks good, but almost 20 pounds without food (you do include a liter of water) seems heavy.
I understand the pack – when you have something you love then you take it. I'll count that as your "Luxury" item…
One place that jumps out that you could do better would be with your sleeping pad. 26 ounces seems pretty heavy – have you ever tried a Ridgerest or Z-Rest? They're not too expensive and would cut 3/4 pound off your weight.
I'm not familiar with your tarp either but 14 ounces (without stakes) should equate to an 8×10 tarp…Given that it's a fairly mild summer weekend do you really need the bivy? A low pitch of your tarp should allow you good rain coverage, even if it's windy. You'd need to add a piece of polycro or some other groundsheet, but that should also cut another 12-14 ounces off your back.
You're buddy is probably bringing a JetBoil or other stove…Can you leave your stove and fuel behind and just drag along the mug? When I go with others I always check to see if they're bringing a stove. If they are then I bring a new one to try out (i.e. a wood burner) or nothing at all.
Have a great trip – please post your route and some photos when you return. The Sods is on my list to do…Jul 26, 2012 at 6:37 pm #1897854

I'll give you some slack on the weight of some items because, in my view, it's ok to take bombproof gear to a place where there are actual bombs. :DJul 27, 2012 at 5:50 am #1897923

best comment ever.
i have revised the list and added some weight for things i decided i better bring since the weather forecast is now calling for thunderstorms and heavy rain (yippie!).
i removed the 2 pounds of water so it doesn't look so bad with a pack weight of 13.67 pounds. with food and water i'm well under 20 pounds, not UL, but lightweight.
i used a ridgerest for a year and suffered through the night, the self inflating pad is worth it's weight since it allows me to sleep ;)Jul 27, 2012 at 6:52 am #1897936

Sorry – I hadn't noticed that the list included your clothing worn. Your list looks great and I certainly understand the need for a comfortable pad. My UL kit uses a torso-length pad and I'll admit that I simply don't sleep as well on it.
I was going to suggest you take a backup lighter, but I then saw that your stove has an ignitor built in so the lighter IS your backup.
Have a great trip!

Late Night Foodie: Models, Pizza and Rock 'n Roll
From the delicious to just plain weird, the Late Night Foodie brings us the round up of what's going on in the world of food.
This week is all about extremes. Extremely strange Japanese commercials, extremely sad news about hamburger meat, extremely hot pizza slices and extremely wicked restaurants. From the delicious to just plain weird, the Late Night Foodie brings us the round up of what's going on in the world of food.
Suds 'N Grub:
If you're a fan of Kiss, the only thing that wasn't on the market with Gene Simmons' stamp of approval thus far, was a place to get some grub. Members of The KISS army will be happy to hear that The Demon himself is set to launch a new restaurant venture called Rock & Brews. Also on the roster of owners is Dave Furano, veteran rock promoter, and Michael Zislis, a key player in the LA food scene. Rock & Brews is designed to look like a rock 'n roller's wet dream, with band memorabilia and flat screen TV's playing iconic live performances as the backdrop to artisan beers and burgers. The only thing patrons will crave upon leaving is a copy of Shannon Tweed's Playmate of the Year issue.

It's common knowledge that red meat is high in saturated fat and connected to cancer and disease, but one recent study has shown that adding a mere three ounce serving of processed red meat will increase your risk of premature death by 20%. Say it ain't so! Analyzing two studies that surveyed over 120,000 American's over the past 28 years, Harvard School of Public Health researchers concluded that 10% of the premature deaths could have been prevented by consuming less than half a serving of red meat per day.
If the name Miranda Kerr doesn't ring a bell, then you should be paying more attention to the Victoria Secret catalogue. Known as much for her cute dimples as incredible body, Kerr has joined the ranks of A-list celebs that have gone to Japan to star in commercials they wouldn't dare in America. "It's lemony, isn't it," she sings of Lipton's Limone (lemon) ice tea in Japanese. "Delicious!" We may not understand what is going on in this commercial, but her short skirt is nothing to shake your head at.
Food Dare:
New Zealand pizzeria chain Hell Pizza has come up with a literal food dare for its patrons by putting a dose of spicy liquid peppers into one slice of their pizzas at no extra cost. To put it into perspective, the liquid is roughly 1,000 times stronger than the average jalapeno pepper. Lovingly nicknamed 'Pizza Roulette' by brave regulars, this promotion will surely be enjoyed by many hot headed jocks that are ready to settle who can handle the heat.

Just back from a talk by Jeff Pettis from the Beltsville bee lab. He said this may be the worst winter in history for bee losses. Says many producers are in the 50% loss range.
He also was reporting that poor queens and drone layers appear to have around 50% of their sperm sterile. He is continuing this research about why this is happening. Doesn't have an answer but believes this is one of the causes of bee loss.

Not I. I only have enough money to buy stuff for other people. Not that I mind. That's what Christmas is all about after all. At least this year I have enough to buy better stuff for said people unlike last year.
I know I'll be getting a nice purdy old S&W, so I will be getting something for Christmas this year.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

Wow that's pretty interesting Zhiv, was that a natural drop? (no chemicals like sugar dust or whatever?) If a natural drop I've never seen a hive with so many mites, untreated, and still alive 6 months later. What is the breed?

Lost 1 untreated hive to a starve out. The other 6 untreated hives are doing well so far through wild temp swings from -12 to 65. February is when we will get the lion's share of our moisture.

All mine are chugging right along. We have had huge swings in our weather. Some of the hives are getting a little light so I will feed some sugar this week if it dries up enough to get in and out without getting stuck. All-in-All.... happy happy happy!!!

Shenandoah Valley of VA... 7 hives going into winter, and seven hives active today (balmy in the 60's). I just hope they don't get started too early and then get hit by Feb/Mar cold snaps. Fingers crossed...
I'm in the Chemung valley of upstate New York.
I've had temps swing from -9F to mid fifties.
So far I've lost one nuc to starvation.
I had to go out of state from Oct 2 til Thanksgiving, and by the time I got back it was too cold to feed up to weight.
That nuc was a pretty late split, and was pretty well dwindled w/ no stores when I mtn camped it. I'd have been surprised if it had made it. It was in a single 5 frame.
The rest of the nucs are in single deeps, 2 nucs to each 10 frame box.
Two others aren't showing much activity, and may be lost as well. They are in the box at the windward end and have taken a beating.
This my first winter in this yard and the wind is apparently pretty brutal.
The rest seem to be doing quite well. I have one strain that has been out foraging when temp were in the 40's and bringing something back.
Can't imagine what pollen they found, but they were bringing in light grey pollen.
I think it is too early for willow .. it might be chicken feed or some other.
This winter is going surprisingly well, given the neglect in the fall.

In SW VA, just west of the Blue Ridge. Went into fall with a little over 90, half nucs, half 10 frame. As of yesterday lost a little over 25% of the 10 frame, and 15% of nucs. Almost all are mite/virus related crashes in Nov and Dec. Plenty of feed on the hives, mostly honey, some syrup. A couple more hives are queenless so they will be gone too. Working on quality and not quantity at this point, nature is helping!
With the exception of some mamal-induced losses (bear). I have 100% survival going into Feb.
I'll take that.
You don't treat for bears?

Did they have brood overwinter, and what is their status now, mite wise?
"Thinking Inside The Box"
It's so cold here this time of year, that there is no opportunity to check mite or brood status. I see a few dead bees here and there in the snow and take that as a good sign. I counted mites a couple of times in the fall and the mite drop fell steadily. I assumed that this was due to population reduction in preparation for winter.

OK Zhiv, well this would be quite a success story if the bees come through OK ánd I'd like to know. Please post here once you've opened it up & had a good look, cheers.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
Here's what the USDA Agricultural Research Service says about CCD symptoms:
The main symptom of CCD is very low or no adult honey bees present in the hive but with a live queen and no dead honey bee bodies present. Often there is still honey in the hive, and immature bees (brood) are present. Varroa mites, a virus-transmitting parasite of honey bees, have frequently been found in hives hit by CCD.

So far all four still kicking. Only fed one, but the others are getting lighter. Seem to be ok, but ready for spring so I can relax. Seems like I take winter losses harder than summer.

When things go wrong and we're to blame, we're supposed to feel guilty. Right? Not necessarily.
It turns out that when we do something that causes a negative outcome, we actually feel less responsible for our actions. And, we see the entire situation differently than we would have if things had turned out well.
The "blame game" is nothing new. Behavior experts have long known that people push responsibility to others, or to outside factors, when things don't work out. But new research from the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London shows that this response is more than about wanting to escape blame — we actually don't believe that what happened is our fault.
Who Me?
To learn more about the blame game, researchers conducted a study. They asked 34 participants to press keys that randomly produced three different noises. The noises were positive (amusement, laughter), negative (fear, disgust, or anger), or neutral.
The volunteers were asked to estimate the time that it took between when they pushed the button and when they heard the sound. Volunteers felt there was a longer lag time between their actions and the negative sounds than between their actions and the positive ones. In their minds, the negative outcomes were separate from their actions. Therefore, they were able to feel less responsible for them.
Taking the Blame
The researchers say that when it comes to assigning blame, we can't always trust our own judgment. "Just because you don't feel responsible, doesn't mean you're actually not," says study author Patrick Haggard.
The findings suggest that perhaps more of us need to realize that unpleasant or negative situations may actually be our fault–even if we don't see it that way. And taking more responsibility for our actions could lead to better relationships with others.

2011 Chargers' Draft Class Should Be 'Special'
After all of the projections and presumptions about just where the Chargers would place their focus during the 2011 NFL Draft, one prevailing theme emerged as a true point of emphasis; defense. Of the team's five picks in the first 89 overall, four of those selections were dedicated to the defensive side of the football.
Even though the Bolts were solid statistically when it came to defense during the 2010 season, many felt that weaknesses along the defensive front as well as depth at both the linebacker and secondary levels were in question. With California defensive end Cameron Jordan inexplicably sitting on the board when the Chargers were put on the clock by the Commissioner at pick number 18 overall, most had to believe that he would be a Bolt. The curveball from General Manager A.J. Smith to go against the grain and select Corey Luiget may have been unexpected, but that doesn't mean it wasn't the right call.
Luiget has all of the tools necessary to be successful in the 3-4 alignment as a defensive end and is arguably much stronger at the point of attack than Jordan. His ability to anchor against the run was widely considered second to none among this year's potential draftees and his ridiculously high motor. The Chargers got themselves a real workaholic in Luiget as evidenced by his dedication during the offseason leading into his 2010 campaign at Illinois during which he dropped 30 pounds to increase his stamina.
Both Marcus Gilchrist and Jonas Mouton in the second round will likely find immediate roles in certain packages with defensive coordinator Greg Manusky's 3-4 scheme. The ball hawking abilities of Gilchrist were thought to be among the best in this year's draft class while Mouton was a fast riser on many draft boards due to his wealth of versatility. Expect to see Gilchrist lining up as the nickel corner from day one with the club while Mouton could make a push to start at inside linebacker with his extremely gifted coverage skills.
The selections of wide receiver Vincent Brown of San Diego State and Shareece Wright from USC were home state selections for the Bolts and both considered moderate reaches by many analysts. Brown graded out as a fourth or fifth rounder according to most and Wright was a mid to late round grade as well. If utilized correctly however, both can make an early impact for the team with Brown likely seeing some significant time in three and four receiver sets while Wright should be expected to contribute primarily on special teams.
That theme seems to reign supreme across the board for the Bolts picks in this year's draft with each of them helping to heal a special teams unit that was woeful in 2010. In an interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Bolts GM said: "These guys have special teams temperament. We have always looked for that, but we put special emphasis on (it) this year because of the embarrassment last year."
What Smith is referring to is the season to forget in the kicking game that the Bolts endured last year having four blocked punts, one deflected punt, a punt returned for a touchdown and three kickoff returns for touchdowns all in the same campaign. The club lost special teams ace Kassim Osgood during last year's offseason and failed to find any adequate replacement on the coverage unit leading into the 2010 schedule.
Later round selections are generally where those special teams gems are found and with the two sixth round picks being dedicated to depth on the offensive side of the ball selecting Michigan guard Steve Schilling and potential diamond in the rough Connecticut running back Jordan Todman, the seventh round was the final destination for a special teams dynamo. The Bolts think they found that particular player in Missouri linebacker Andrew Gachkar who was a relative unknown with the Tigers last year, but the Chargers saw a desirable quality in his game.
That sought after attribute that Gachkar possesses is a passion for the third phase and giving it his all on each and every snap. Those qualities are something the team felt they lost over the past few seasons and never properly replaced. According to A.J. Smith in his interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune: "We need to get it back and we're going to get it back. This kid, we think, is going to be one of those guys."
The newfound emphasis placed on finding special teamers wasn't a surprise considering the team's ineptitude in that department last year. What was perhaps the biggest surprise of the draft was the lack of trades for the Bolts GM as it was only the third time in Smith's nine years as GM that the team did not make any trades during the seven round selection process. Especially considering all of his rhetoric about not being afraid to move around in this year's selection, it is a bit unexpected that there were no trades from the Chargers in the three-day draft.
At the end of the festivities in Radio City Music Hall, the team managed to address all of its needs in one form or another at each phase of the draft by staying put. This keeps the 2012 slate of draft picks intact and goes against the mentality of GM Smith in recent years. Perhaps this is the turning over of a new leaf for the Bolts' GM, but maybe that sort of proclamation has to be reserved until the first contract holdout takes place.
What do you think? Did you like the more passive drafting style of A.J. Smith this time around or would you have preferred more aggression? Did the team do enough to sure itself up on defense or will they need to make some acquisitions in free agency to finish the process? Will the attention paid to special teams in this draft pay dividends for the Bolts kick coverage units this year or will the coaching determine their success in that area? Give your own grade on the draft for the team and A.J. Smith in the comments section below!

"The ball hawking abilities of Gilchrist were thought to be among the best in this year's draft class while Mouton was a fast riser on many draft boards due to his wealth of versatility." You may want to rethink this statement. Gilchrist had a grand total of one interception in his entire college career.
It seems like the Chargers got some solid players in this draft, but they may have overdrafted some of them. I realize special teams needed an overhaul, but you really don't spend 2nd round picks on special teams. 2nd round picks are generally used for players that should be able to become solid starters. I was disappointed that RT and pass rushing OLB were ignored in this draft, particularly given the fact that there were some good prospects at both positions on the board when the Chargers made some of these picks. All things considered, I would rather have OT Marcus Gilbert than Jonas Mouton and I would rather have OLB Sam Acho than Shareece Wright.
Touche on the Gilchrist comment. It would probably be better said that his instincts were thought to be among the best in this year's class, but his versatility and football IQ should be a nice addition to the team.
And I do agree that generally 1st, 2nd, and even 3rd rounders are drafted to be near immediate starters. The game is becoming more and more about all three phases though and perhaps A.J. was penciling Gilchrist, Mouton, and Wright in as immediate upgrades in the special teams realm.
With the addition of Corey Liuget, he'll take on both the guard and tackle position with his big frame and that would leave Larry English to rush the passer. I think English will finally breakout this year and i think AJ smith knows that, thats why he didnt draft an OLB.

Reviews of this property
A room in the historic center of Prague, just two steps away from anything. The owners are very kind and helpful, the room that we got was very large. The bathroom and kitchen are shared with the other guests, but I always found everything very clean. I highly recommend it for your stay in Prague.
Una stanza nel pieno centro storico di Praga, veramente a due passi da qualsiasi cosa. Le proprietarie sono gentilissime e disponibile, la stanza che ci hanno dato era molto grande. Il bagno e la cucina sono condivisi con gli altri ospiti, ma ho trovato sempre tutto molto pulito. Lo consiglio vivamente per soggiornare a Praga.
Perfecto apartamento en el centro de praga,
Cuando llegamos su asistente bajo a recibirnos y nos explicó todo el apartamento de arriba a abajo, así como la ciudad y sitios de interés. Las fotos coinciden con las que se encuentran en el anuncio así que no hay ningún tipo de problema, es lo que dice ser, ubicada en pleno centro de la ciudad a pocos pasos de la gran plaza de praga. Un buen lugar para alojarse en Praga.

The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The apartment is right in the heart of the city. You don't need train or tram. It takes about 20 minutes walk to Old Town Centre. It's very safe as there is a police station right opposite of the apartment. The bedroom is so big and clean but the only thing was the bed, the mattress was too soft and deep inside and I got backache when I woke up. Toilet and kitchen is so clean. The price i also very reasonable. Hope we could visit Prague again soon and will definitely come back to stay!.
We had a great time in Prague. Viola let us in and showed us our room and gave us a map. She pointed Some Nice things on the map which we did, and it Where fun things that were not Very touristic. The room was nice, only the light did not work, but there was a small lamp that worked. The kitchen was organised and sometimes Viola was there so we could have a Nice chat, and ask her anything. Thank you Vincent and Viola.
The apartment was good, the room spacious and very close to the old town (not even 5 minutes to walk). Lots of restaurants and bars around. Vincent's assistant is a very nice and friendly person, always willing to help and answer all our questions.
The Flat was clean and Vincent and his assistant Lindsey are very friendly! She told us everything we need to know about the flat, the house rules and Prague itself.
The flat is large enough for 9 people but you need a bit of time management to get all 9 people through one bathroom with the only toilet in that flat.
For the breakfast we need to carry all the tables and chairs in one room so that we can launch all together because there is no real kitchen. And if you like to drink coffee you should better bring a coffee machine or at least a filter holder! Using a coffee filter inside a sieve is funny but need a lot of time and intuition ;-)
However, for that price I think the flat is fair enough for 4 stars and I really liked the close location to the center of Prague!
Thanks for the nice time!
Very nice and helpful host; great location! well, value for money
The room was large and clean, everything worked properly. We received a friendly and uncomplicated. I was very pleased and would hire me again for my next stay in Prague dasZimmer.
das Zimmer war gross und sauber, alles Funktionierte einwandfrei. Wir wurden freundlich und unkompliziert empfangen. Ich war sehr zufrieden und werde mir bei meinen nächsten Pragaufenthalt dasZimmer erneut mieten.
Friendly, good communication.
The flat is next to the city, 10 minutes by walking.
Absolutely recommend.

A phrase quite obviously inspired by John Madden. Contrary to popular belief, Captain Obvious is capable of flying but is afraid to, so he drives around the country in an RV, constantly on the lookout for blatantly obvious things to explain to the general public.
Buffalo trails New England by three at the two minute warning. When we return, that means Buffalo will have two minutes left to try to score. A field goal will tie the game. A touchdown will put Buffalo ahead. If Buffalo scores with any time left on the clock, New England will have a chance to score. If Buffalo kicks a field goal, a field goal will be enough for New England to win the game. If Buffalo scores a touchdown, New England will need a touchdown to win the game. Unless Buffalo misses the extra point, in which case New England can tie the game with a field goal following Buffalo's field goal. Of course, any time remaining will give Buffalo another chance to score and go ahead. Oh, and I've talked for so long that the game is now over. I don't think Buffalo scored. Now if you'll excuse me I need to attend to my, "ahem", other civic duties by driving around the country in my ridiculous RV, alerting the American public that gas costs more than it did last year, there are 50 stars on the U.S. flag (same as the number of states!!), Bill Clinton had a fling with an intern IN THE OVAL OFFICE, and I am the most colossal jackass in the history of RV-driving douchebags ever to announce pro football games on a level far below the intelectual capacity of a first trimester fetus conceived via incest. Until next Monday Night, with Al Michaels, this is Captain Obvious.

It's an intra-division game so it's going to be tough. They almost always are.
It's absolutely winnable by either team and it'll come down (as usual) to execution. I expect it to be close, I expect it to come down to the final 5 minutes or so and ultimately I expect that whoever wins this one likely will lose the rematch under similar circumstances.

Val 's Biography
Diplomatic or Direct: Both.
American Dream:"I really love telling my story because I really do believe it is an American Dream story."
Youngest of Seven:Older siblings were very protective and made sure that Val "knew what they knew."
Val's Parents:"The woman who cleaned houses five days a week and the janitor who worked seven days a week was able to see their youngest child dream realized."
Val Demings' parents—her mother a maid and her father a janitor—never graduated from high school, but they instilled in their daughter the message that Demings could "Do more, be more and have more." After 24 years in law enforcement, Demings was appointed to Chief of Police, becoming Orlando's first female Police Chief and proving to young girls and women everywhere that they too could do more, be more and have more.
Attending a segregated school until sixth grade, Demings overcame tremendous hardship and discrimination. Growing up black, poor and female, Demings heard her fair share of "no's." But for Demings, the "no's" motivated her all the more: "The more people told me I could not do something, it just made me more and more determined to do just that."
At the police academy, despite her small stature—5'4 tall and weighing 120lbs—and the fact that she was one of very few women, Demings was still elected class president by her peers. Unstoppable, she graduated at the top of her class and received the Board of Trustees Award for Overall Excellence. Her determination paid off as she rose up the ranks to become Chief of Police. Male officers, unfamiliar with reporting to a female boss, often challenged her authority. Over time, however, she established herself as a force to be reckoned with and received the respect she deserved. "Brains are much more important than brawn in police work."
In addition to making a name for herself as Chief of Police, Demings also met her husband and "biggest cheerleader" Jerry Demings while in the force. Like Val, Jerry also had a historic career with the Orlando police force, serving as its first African American Police Chief. The two met when they were assigned to the same case, and they have continued to work together, supporting each other's careers ever since.
Val Demings is now running for Mayor of Orange County, Florida. (We wish her the best of luck!) For more information about her campaign, visit: http://www.valdemings.com

Why didn't the State Department say this?
posted at 10:40 am on September 22, 2012 by Libby Sternberg
A Facebook friend of mine, someone I suspect is not of the same political persuasion as I am, recently posted a link to an article, "A Time for Introspection" an op/ed in the Express Tribune (of Pakistan) by Raza Rumi, director, Policy & Programmes, Jinnah Institute, Islamabad.
Though Rumi is no American cheerleader in the piece, he urges Muslims to look at their own actions before pointing the finger of blame at others for their troubles. One section dealing with so-called anti-Islam works:
Salman Rushdie's book — Satanic Verses — sparked global outrage in the late 1980s and since then, we have increasing polarisation between those who view freedom of expression as an absolute value, and extremists within Muslims who think violence is the only way to 'save' Islam from such attacks. Millions of Muslims are trapped between the two ends of this hate-spectrum. Despite the offence caused by such provocation, they will not resort to violence or support wanton destruction of life and property. But are these voices represented and articulated through credible leadership? The answer is no…
Rumi takes some (to me) gratuitous swipes against America's drone and missile attacks as well as the Palestinian situation, but then he does go on to say:
The 'victimhood' of Muslims is also quasi-mythical. The anti-imperial rants against the US and the West often ignore that there is little resistance to the imperialists within Islam. The imperialists within (monarchs, clerics and plunderers who exploit, suppress dissent and kill without a conscience) are within the reach of Muslims. The battle 'within' Islam — for reformation, ijtehad and liberation from patriarchal, violence-preaching clerics — is a far more serious one.
And finally, he concludes with:
There is much that the Muslims need to introspect about before they take bombs and bullets to express their anger on cases of persecution and blasphemy.
It might just help if they were to focus on knowledge, organised political and economic resistance, reforming their societies and reining in the clerics who have no place in Islam to begin with. More importantly, before crying hoarse about the way the world is treating them, how about allowing Muslim women their due rights, enabling non-Muslim fellow citizens to receive the entitlements they deserve; and turning towards inquiry and reason?
It was refreshing to read Rumi's piece, even if I disagreed with parts of it. But what was even more heartening were the 65 comments, or rather, one in particular. Comments ranged from the thoughtful to the argumentative to the extremist, with more than one commenter discussing Muslim violence against other Muslims.
Pasted below, however, is the comment that stood out to me. When I read it, I thought to myself: why isn't our State Department articulating these thoughts instead of apologizing for obscure films? Why isn't our president standing up for an American principle in this way? Why is it appearing in a comments section by an anonymous poster? I reproduce it with typos that appeared in the original:
1. Just as Muslims believe that Quran is revealed by God, Americans believe that freedom of expression is an inalienable riht that flows to them from God and hence cannot be legislatd by a human.
2. Freedom of worship (which also includes freedom to not worship) is seen as a subset of freedom of expression. It is thus unsurprising that in countries which includes most Muslim majority countries where freedom of expression is not absolute, the freedom of worship for people not of majority faith is also severely abridged.
3. Freedom of expression is tested only during times of conflict. IT is not much of a freedom to say " I love my mother and gaajar ka halwa". USA does not prevent people from creating videos that offend Christians either. Please google 'stand up comedians atheist' and see what you come up with.
4. Freedom of expression is an empowering tool that allowed ordinary Americans to fight powerful clergy whose oppression they escaped (refer Pilgrim Fathers). Today too it has allowed gay right activists to stand up to priests who totally are against homosexuality because it is against what is stated in Bible. The opposition to gays is high among right wing Christians and this also is a huge politicial issue – yet no one has been able to muzzle the rights of gays BECAUSE of freedom of expression.
5. You have a right to be offended. You do not however have a right to 'never be offended'. Thus a video that offends you does not violate your right.
6. Finally while you have not mentioned it, someone is sure to bring up holocaust denial laws as one form of abridgment to freedom of expression. They should be aware that there are NO holocaust denial laws in USA.

Human experimentation is banned unless the subjects are volunteers who have provided their informed consent. I believe the more casual research my son recently tried is exempt from those rules.
Let me explain.
Over the summer he worked with the grounds crew for a local park system. Being the sort who enjoys occupying his mind with more lively endeavors than weed whacking, he found other ways to keep himself amused. It may be helpful to point out that he and his siblings know many more words than they can pronounce. Their vocabularies are considered odd by others. Their dinner table discussions are, at best, eccentric. These tendencies can be almost entirely blamed one habit: avid reading.
He used this social liability as the basis for the human experimentation trials he conducted on his unwitting co-workers. The research took all summer. His subjects were not aware that they were part of the study until it was too late. The damage had been done. The results were in. I'm going to tell you how to conduct the same experiment.
You, the experimenter, can bring nearly extinct words and phrases back into regular usage. (See, you're providing a service to an endangered vocabulary while at the same time smiling on the inside.) Continue Reading "Human Experimentation of the Word Kind" »

Rebels admit gas attack result of mishandling chemical weapons
In a report that is sure to be considered blockbuster news, the rebels told Dale Gavlak, a reporter who has written for the Associated Press, NPR and BBC, they are responsible for the chemical attack last week.
Gavlak is a Middle Eastern journalist who filed the report about the rebels claiming responsibility on the Mint Press News website, which is affiliated with AP.
In that report rebels allegedly told her the chemical attack was a result of mishandling chemical weapons.
This news should deflate the accusations, against the Assad regime, coming from the U.S., Britain, France and the Arab League.
Since the chemical attacks last week, the Assad government was immediately blamed. On Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry said: That Assads guilt was a judgment already clear to the world," according to theguardian.com.
As a result of Assad's government being blamed for the chemical attacks, five U.S. warships are now stationed off Syria's coast. These destroyers are poised to deliver cruise missiles in a strike that is due to begin any time now. According to the report on Mint Press there have been several interviews conducted with people in Damascus and Ghouta, a suburb of the Syrian capital.
Gavlak reports she was told by rebels that the gas "attack" was the result of rebels mishandling the chemical weapons they acquired from the Saudis. She says in the Mint Press report the following:
"They didnt tell us what these arms were or how to use them, complained a female fighter named K. We didnt know they were chemical weapons. We never imagined they were chemical weapons.
When Saudi Prince Bandar gives such weapons to people, he must give them to those who know how to handle and use them, she warned. She, like other Syrians, do not want to use their full names for fear of retribution."
Gavlak continues in her report: "A well-known rebel leader in Ghouta named J agreed. Jabhat al-Nusra militants do not cooperate with other rebels, except with fighting on the ground. They do not share secret information. They merely used some ordinary rebels to carry and operate this material.
We were very curious about these arms. And unfortunately, some of the fighters handled the weapons improperly and set off the explosions, J said."

Please join us for a Global Coffee Hour presentation by Dr. Don Luidens (Sociology Department) on Thursday, January 31, 11:00am in the MMC 1st Floor Rotunda.
A spring 2012 sabbatical provided Professor Don Luidens with the opportunity to return to his roots in the Middle East where he was born and spent most of his pre-college life. Thanks to a GLCA grant, he and his wife traveled to South India where he had been in boarding school in 1955 and 1956 and then to seven Arab countries, witnessing first hand some of the consequences of the Arab Spring. His re-encounter with his childhood past will set the stage for this presentation and discussion.
All are welcome!

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by Cbz40, Feb 21, 2007.
u do know that the rules between college and pros for cb's are very different right? in college u can basically kill a guy and not get flagged if ur playing on your home field. in the nfl u touch a player even after 4 yrds u get flagged.
I don't like that Nelson isn't very smart... Not at all.
watkins was playing very good at the end of the yr. he wasnt making the mistakes he was at the begining of the yr, and he was tackling better. had a couple of picks too. watkins is fine.
i dont think nelson would really be a upgrade over watkins. and if he is the difference i dont think is really noticable. once watkins got used to the rules in the nfl he was fine.
Fix the pass rush and we are OK at FS with either Watkins or Henry. Draft a FS and we still need to fix the pass rush. Bottom line.....fix the damn pass rush!!!
Dang I thought he was a senior.
I've been avoiding as much football as possible ever since the "hold".
The problem with the pass rush will be improved just due to the scheme alone.
forgive me for not bringing up a FSU Bulldog as one of my choices......i guess i would prefer championship caliber players....
That I do agree with. I said all last year we ran the worse 3-4 in the league.
Our 3-4 was basically Zimmer's old 4-3 scheme but with the DE standing up.
Only it was actually a little more effective then Zimmer's old 4-3.
That and about 20 other differences.
Whatever you say, Beaver.
You do understand the meaning of the word "Basic" or "Basically", right?
My god, if there's any college in your area that teaches the BASICS of football, please do us all a favor and take it.
Just getting a rile out of you.
only 2 players i would want in dallas and thats willimas in the 3rd or young in the 2nd. but ross? u kidding me? ur really the only texas fan i ever heard say anything good about him.
well latin heres how it goes...
the same feeling i had with Vasher, I now have with Ross.......I was right about Vasher....So I feel I will be right about Ross
i think everybody had that feeling about vasher. nobody has that feeling about ross.
Because he is pathetic in coverage.
Hes a bad *** but not what we need.
and dallas already has a Ss who is bad in coverage
I like Nelson alot,but I'm not for sure if he will be there when we pick at 22.
he'll be there just watch i hope we don't pick him though go pass rusher or CB and move henry to FS

Run For Nuns helps fight debt this May 15, 2011!
May 11th, 2011
Photo from Photos.com
Pittsburgh, PA. – Taking a vow of poverty doesn't lend itself to paying off college debt. Priests, seminarians, religious sisters and friends from the Diocese of Pittsburgh will be running on May 15, 2011 in the Pittsburgh Marathon, Half Marathon or Marathon Relay as part of their 2nd Annual "Run For Nuns" campaign (see www.RunForNuns.com), an effort to eliminate the college debt of some young women so they are free to enter Roman Catholic religious communities.
Men and women who enter Religious Life -- a way of living in community focused on prayer and service -- pledge to live according to the example that Jesus Christ presented in the Gospels. Because religious live a life of Poverty, they do not own anything or receive a salary. The young women that the Run For Nuns team is supporting must eliminate their educational debt before they are permitted to fully participate in this way of life.
One of the seminarians, Patrick Caruso, was inspired to start the Run for Nuns campaign last year. "The world has seen many courageous witnesses to love in the lives of religious sisters such as Mother Theresa," Caruso said. "These young women we are trying to help are eager to offer the same selfless service for the rest of their lives."
"Men and women in our generation are looking for meaning. We desire to make a difference in the world. Religious Life and the Priesthood are really supernatural ways of living, serving our neighbor in need while acknowledging that God is the center of life," said Sr. Alicia Torres, one of the future sisters who were able to enter religious life through the help of Run For Nuns last year.
This year Run for Nuns will be teaming up with Mater Ecclesiae Fund For Vocations, a 501(c)3 non profit organization which will make donations made on behalf of Run For Nuns to Mater Ecclesiae tax-deductible. To make a donation, visit www.RunForNuns.com or mail a check payable to 'Fund For Vocations' to MEFV, P.O. Box 7433, Falls Church, VA 22040 and write "Run For Nuns" on the 'For' line.
Sr. Alicia Torres and Emily Davis, who were able to enter religious life last year through the help of Run For Nuns, will be returning to Pittsburgh to run with the Team. Davis will accompany three sisters from her religious community, the Franciscan Sisters TOR, who will run the Marathon Relay in their full-habit.
For more information please see "When debt cripples a vocation."

Don't derail Caltrain's new service
Original post made by Renee Batti, associate editor of The Almanac, on Apr 12, 2007
An ad hoc group of some city council members in the region, the Coalition to Expand Transit Service, is asking Caltrain to revisit its schedule in hopes of boosting service for certain cities.
But the system's steadily growing ridership suggests things may be just fine as they are.
The decision to add the express Baby Bullet runs in 2004 came at the expense of local service, which meant ending weekday stops in the Atherton and Burlingame Broadway stations -- among the least-used on the line -- and making fewer stops at other stations.
Even during the debate over service, however, riders have flocked to Caltrain. In January, average weekday ridership rose by 7.3 percent compared with that time a year ago. Year-to-year ridership is up about 31 percent since the pre-Baby Bullet ridership of 2003, Caltrain reported.
"Our goal is to have as many people riding as possible," said Caltrain spokesman Jonah Weinberg.
The Caltrain board will review station-by-station ridership numbers in April, Mr. Weinberg said, and it will be up to the board to decide whether to have an outside firm review the schedule, as the coalition suggests.
Fine-tuning the schedule might bring improvements, but making drastic changes could be a zero-sum game. Adding a stop in one city may require nixing another city's stop. Adjustments that add time to the schedule will not appeal to the new commuters attracted by the express runs.
Caltrain works best as a regional service, shuttling more than 30,000 people up and down the line on weekdays. The Peninsula already has extensive bus service for multi-stop transit throughout its cities, so there is no need to replicate that. Many riders using Caltrain are driving to the stations anyway, Weinberg noted. It's just a matter of which station to drive to. The Atherton station is less than a mile from the Menlo Park station and Burlingame still has one station under the current schedule.
Having fewer train stops is a worthwhile trade-off for the improved regional service commuters enjoy. Any changes that the coalition wants should be balanced against the need to keep the new riders coming back.

a resident of Portola Valley: Brookside Park
on Apr 17, 2007 at 11:35 pm
When Dr Beeching (Web Link) threatened to axe many British railways in the 1960s and tear down stations a group of local councils decided to subsidize the line (from Leeds to Ilkley in Yorkshire UK).
So maybe if Atherton and Burlingame town councils wanted to pay Caltrain it might be able to negotiate to have the station open. Then the residents of those cities could vote for a tax to subsidize their stations.
Fast forward to 2007 - the Leeds-Ilkley line is very busy with commuters and the line has been electrified. Had it not been saved by a few savvy local councils almost 50 years ago the traffic in the area would be way worse. Unfortunately a short link between Ilkley and Skipton was torn up - impeding today's train service.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

David Newhan: Back to the Astros?
Newhan, the son of sportswriting legend Ross Newhan, was a delight to deal with when I had the chance during his tenure with the Mets. And unlike his time in New York, Newhan even hit a little with the Astros, posting a reasonable line of .260/.297/.404.
His whole career has been an unlikely one. And I'd imagine some will say he doesn't belong in my book. But he was Bar Mitzvahed, and considers himself Jewish. I will leave it to others to say who is and isn't a Member of the Tribe. (The Indians, incidentally, are one of the few teams he hasn't played for.)

I guess I've never really understood what Jews for Jesus means. It's sort of a contradiction, isn't it?
Believing that Jesus is man's savior is pretty much the antithesis of Judaism. I just don't get it. How anyone can go to church and still consider himself Jewish is beyond me.

It would be cool if Scott Schoeneweis or Brad Aumus or Ryan Braun got to play for the Indians. How many people can say they're a member of the tribe and mean it 2 ways?

Re: Jews For Jesus .... just another not-so-subtle, not-so-thinly veiled attempt at converting Jews into "perfected" beings (if you believe Ann Coulter).
If anyone believes Ann Coulter please seek psychological attention immediately.
