[quote user="jhamburg"]Looking at the draft order...most of the teams picking immediately before us don't really need TEs. The latest team that does need one is Broncos at 25, and I wouldn't want to trade up much higher than that. Even if he is high on Reese's board, I think we gamble that he falls to us.[/quote]
Other than the patriots, I dont think there is a single team that doesnt need a dynamic TE

Not doing anything for the fear of getting worse is only delaying the inevitable, Eli is not going to be around forever. I really don't think he has elite stuff to get it done either, by the time the team is rebuilt, Eli will be too old and ineffective.
Eli is a made man in NYC. Get him a quality offensive line and run game he will pick apart any defense
"Team sports are a different animal. They tap into deep seeded tribal instincts. Our team vs your team used to be our tribe vs your tribe. Winner takes all land, plunder, women. You inherently care when you are aligned with a tribe/team. The players are interchangeable but team always stays the same." - JOESONDO from UG forum
Trade Eli for what?
Why do people want to trade our best players for unknown talent? We're not trading Eli and it's ridiculous to do so.
Mood: WOOF!
As I said the Giants have been threw this before. After Tittle retired, and during all of Simms career. People always suggest stupid ideas like this.
I am all for making wholesale changes but getting rid of Eli is absurd. Get rid of Eli and watch Reese parade out Dave Brown 3.0 with 31 defensive lineman on the roster and 5 olinesman with T Rex arms. That is a recipe for quality....
point is, Eli isn't hungry. he got himself 2 rings. anyway, I'm going to get my pain meds.. whew! I can get all philosophical when I'm on pain meds LOL
Who are we bringing in Freeman? Sanchez? TEBOW? I'll tell you right now the Bucs and Jets would both trade for Eli in a heartbeat like these Madden General Managers want.
The Oline is going to be what it is during the rest of the year. The only way to fix it is threw drafting, free agency, and coaching decisions. The first option isn't going to happen till next year, FA isn't going to happen as the window closes and their are no options. The coaching staff is going to do what it can with what it has. There are NO other options today. This "trade Eli" idea is just as stupid as the "trade Simms" idea were 25 years ago. You don't trade your two time Superbowl MVP QB away, especially when there are no good options out there. I know most people aren't old enough to remember the Giants in the late 60s, but there should be a fair amount that still remember the ridiculousness of what happened with Phil here.

Hello all.... I'm John and I'm a Fettaholic. Have been a lurker here for a while and have been on the RPF for a few years (as JangoJohn). Have been a Star Wars fan since forever it seems.... was 6 when I saw it in 1977.
Still have all the stuff I collected back then (wish I would've kept that damn early bird special that I'm sure many of us got for X-Mas in '77 though), but didn't really focus on Boba Fett till the Special Ed's came out in '97. Had always thought he was the coolest character in the SW Universe, but only had two items at the time (my original Fett action figure and the original 12") Since then I went nuts collecting everything I saw having to do with B. Fett.... and am now at over 200 items and counting (everything from figures, statues, comics, books, etc.). The wife finally let me have a full room to display everything when we bought our house a couple of years ago.
After having picked up a set of armor pieces from Mark Bradley about 8 years ago, I finally decided to get off my butt to try to get my costume completed. Thanks to Richies Armor for my bucket re-paint and several other items, I spent about three weeks straight working on it to try to get it wearable by Halloween last year. I favor the ESB Fett over Jedi, but my costume ended up a combination of both. I know it's not perfect, but I'm happy with it.... still need to dirty it up and plan on tweaking it every now and then. Don't judge too harshly..... :)

For the holidays I received a couple Best Buy gift cards, three to be exact. One was for $25 and two were for $50 each. I also I a return I can make for $48.98 plus I have $80 worth of reward points on my Best Buy account. With that said, I can spend a total of $253.98. I would really like to not spend anything out of pocket and I would like to also try to spend the entire amount. Any suggestions?
I should mention that I have a Mac desktop that I purchased a few months back. I have installed Parallels so I can run both Mac and Windows programs. I already have a printer, scanner, router and iPod. I do not have cable TV in my office so a television would not do me much good. I already have Pages, Family Tree Maker 2011, iLife and a new iPod Touch 4G. What I do not have are Windows 7, Microsoft Office. I have considered buying both of those, or at least one. I currently have Windows Vista installed on the Mac.
In general, I pretty much have everything that I want. I thought about an iPad but that would cost extra money and I should probably hold off until the new ones come out in the spring. Those are supposed to have an SD card reader plus front and rear-facing cameras. I honestly do not need an iPad, it would be more of a vanity purchase than anything...although it would be nice for reading books that I buy in the Apple bookstore. The font on the iPod is just so tiny!
Well, I am going to Best Buy around 7:00 tonight. I do not think they close early for New Years so I am going to take a shot. If you have any suggestions, please shoot them off to me as soon as possible. I am really into Mac stuff right now, Apple products in general. Apple TV looks interesting for my living room. Something for genealogy would also be a nice thought. I do not have a nice, portable camera. Maybe I could get one to make videos for the blog? Let me know your thoughts and I will update you when I make the purchase.

Sustainable design has been a buzzword for the past few years, but the Port of Portland (Ore.) has taken it to a new level with a porous pavement project. Built in 2006, the Port installed 35 acres of porous asphalt, along with 15 acres of impervious pavement, at one of its automotive-import facilities.
The Terminal 6 project provides a model of environmental stewardship and smart business, balancing benefits to the community, the economy, and the environment.
At an estimated construction cost of $6.45 million, the developed area will save the Port money in the short and long run.The agency saved $250,000—and nearly a year of time—on its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit, which regulates and keeps tabs on stormwater runoff for a given area. "Since there were no assets to build underground, it was faster and cheaper," says Dave Dittmer, engineering project manager at the Port.
The Port also receives a discount on the city's storm sewer fee for using porous pavement. The area has unique sub-surface conditions; it is mostly sand, which allows for better infiltration. This sub-surface eliminates the need for underground piping systems to remove the stormwater runoff—another cost savings.
Maintenance includes sweeping the area a couple of times per year, which is typical for porous pavement. Since the facility is for new cars, there are no fluid leaks to worry about. "This is a unique situation," Dittmer says. "It's not common for other public works departments to have a situation like this where no containment is needed."
The Oregon chapter of the American Public Works Association recently awarded the project a Julian Prize for Sustainability. The Port hired Portland-based Century West Engineering and landscape architecture firm GreenWorks, along with stormwater management firm Cahill Associates, West Chester, Pa., to complete the project.

The $1.2 billion cloture vote in the dead of night
posted at 8:48 am on December 21, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Harry Reid passed his cloture bill a few hours ago, forcing the Senate to remain in session while America slept in order to meet an arbitrary deadline for his version of ObamaCare. As expected after the reversal of Ben Nelson (D-NE), Reid got his bill past its second procedural hurdle, thanks to some arm-twisting … and vote buying:
Landmark health care legislation backed by President Barack Obama passed its sternest Senate test in the pre-dawn hours early Monday, overcoming Republican delaying tactics on a 60-40 vote that all but assures its passage by Christmas. …
The atmosphere was intensely partisan, but the outcome preordained as senators cast their votes from their desks, a practice reserved for issues of particular importance. Administration officials who have worked intensely on the issue watched from the visitor's gallery despite the hour. So, too, Vicki Kennedy, the widow of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., who championed health care across a Senate career that spanned more than 40 years.
Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson's announcement Saturday that he had decided to support the bill—in exchange for a variety of concessions—cemented the Democrats' 60-vote majority behind a bill assembled at the direction of Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.
A "varity of concessions"? There really was no variety in the concessions at all. Nelson changed his vote when Reid offered new language in his manager's amendment that would send a boatload of money to Nebraska — and not just to the Cornhusker state, either:
Nebraska will receive $100 million in assistance for its state Medicaid program under provisions in the Senate's healthcare reform bill negotiated by Sen. Ben Nelson (D).
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) informed lawmakers on Sunday night that the section of the manager's amendment to the Senate's health bill would cost $1.2 billion over 10 years.
Nelson managed to win a share of the section of the manager's amendment on Equitable Support for Certain States, which will provide Nebraska, along with Massachusetts and Vermont, support in paying its share of additional costs to Medicaid in the health legislation.
Massachusetts? Why would Massachusetts need extra help in paying its Medicaid obligations? They already have a version of ObamaCare in place, which was supposed to contain and control health-care costs. Apparently, it didn't work as advertised — and neither will Reid's version of ObamaCare either.
When that fails, who will bail out ObamaCare, as Massachusetts needs a bailout now? Oh, right. Us.

Sponsored Programs offers new funding resource
By Noe Saldana
Director, Office of Sponsored Programs
(July 13, 2008)--The UTSA Office of Sponsored Programs announces a new automated service to aid in finding research funding resources. The new service, Community of Science (COS), replaces the Sponsored Programs Information Network (SPIN), which is being phased out.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
COS is a Web-based service that will bring information to registrants' e-mail boxes once a week through keywords created in their profiles. COS also allows users to do on-the-spot manual searches.
Features of the new funding resource include:
- Ability to search more than 24,000 records that contain almost 400,000 opportunities worth more than $33 billion
- Ability to identify experts and collaborators in a range of fields of interest with information on current research activity, funding received, publications, patents, new positions and more
- Ability to showcase research and expertise among researchers and scholars from universities, corporations and nonprofits in more than 170 countries.
- Provides tools to keep a curriculum vitae updated and accessible by possible collaborators
COS workshops will be presented throughout the summer; see the schedule on the Office of the Vice President for Research Web site (select "My Research Portal"). A series of workshops also will be listed in the UTSA Training and Development newsletter this fall. Webcasts will be scheduled as well.
The SPIN database will be available for a short time, but no new accounts will be created. In the near future, SPIN will be removed from the Office of Sponsored Programs Web site.
For more information, contact the Office of Sponsored Programs at (210) 458-4340.

In Chad, journalists report being intimidated by official
Lagos, Nigeria, November 14, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on Chadian authorities to investigate reports of official intimidation of journalists working for a private community radio station in the southern town of Doba.
Alnodji Mbairaba Jean-paul, the editor-in-chief of La Voix du Paysan, told CPJ that he and two other journalists had been intimidated and threatened by Lamlengar Ngasebey, the town's mayor, and members of his family. La Voix du Paysan had broadcast on September 20, 21, 28 a series of news reports in which local citizens accused Ngasebey of abuse of power, mismanagement, and hiring practices that favored attractive women, the journalists said.

Louis C.K.'s comedy is bleak. To him, the act of talking to a stranger is the first step on the path to some new misery. A new dog is a guarantee of sadness for your whole family when, after a few years, it inevitably dies. Even C.K.'s choice of an Infiniti makes him complicit in the deaths of thousands a day, since he could trade it in for something more modest and donate the difference in cost to various charities dedicated to stamping out world hunger. Bleak.
That outlook pervades his new show on F/X (Tuesdays at 11). Louie focuses on C.K.'s stand-up. That's followed by a sketch starring C.K. as a character similar to himself (both are recently divorced fathers of two young girls) that expands on the ideas he's joked about — it's not unlike Seinfeld, only without the wacky supporting characters, and with even less of a thread connecting each scenario. A bit about C.K. having to volunteer at his daughter's school leads to a segment where he chaperones a field trip that goes horribly wrong. Jokes about his divorce lead to a short about his reconnecting with a girl he used to like in high school (and who once asked him to "whip it out"). On paper, these bits may not sound like much, but when filtered through C.K.'s unfailing belief in imminent doom, they become simultaneously hilarious and tragic. Louie wrings more laughs out of both squirmy social awkwardness and utter despair than any show since Ricky Gervais's BBC version of The Office. Gervais even has a cameo in one episode.
C.K. has his hands in almost every aspect of the show: he wrote, produced, directed, cast, and even edited the two episodes that have aired. FX, it would seem, is happy to exchange creative control for the rights to broadcast the show on the relative cheap. That degree of creative freedom allows C.K. — a former writer for Conan O'Brien and Chris Rock, as well as the writer/director of the cult favorite Pootie Tang — to do pretty much what he wants without fear of network meddling. It also means that Louie already feels more fully-formed and self-assured than most first-season shows.
Here's an example of something that probably would not have flown on, say, NBC. The episode opens with C.K. playing poker with a group of other stand-up comedians. After a few jokes at one another's expense, the conversation turns to a discussion between C.K. and Rick Crom, a gay stand-up comedian, about C.K.'s use of the slur "faggot" in his act. C.K. doesn't offer any defense or justification, kneejerk or otherwise, and neither does he appear to be looking for validation from Crom. Instead, he seems both curious as to what his friend thinks and concerned that he might be offending people. And rather than attacking or dismissing C.K.'s concerns, Crom offers some reasons for why the word bothers people so much and then goes into the history of how that word came to be associated with that connotation.
It's a more nuanced intellectual discussion than you usually find on TV outside of HBO, and if it isn't quite as funny as C.K. awkwardly going out of his way to get the door for his date, it's still compelling. Now let's just hope that the show's success doesn't improve Louis C.K.'s outlook on the world. Louie wouldn't be the same if he ever became optimistic.

The Cambridge Summer Food Service Program provides free lunch to anyone under age 19 during the summer when school is out. Lunch is served 11:30 – 12:30, Monday thru Friday (weather permitting) at Danehy Park, Hoyt Field, Sennot Park, Greene-Rose Heritage Park, Gold Star Mother's Park and Russell Field Park. Parks are staffed by Recreation Workers and the Summer Food Program has a contract with Sidekim Foods of Lynn, to provide balanced, nutritious lunches each day.
In 2011, the Program incorporated First Lady, Michelle Obama's Let's Move initiative into the program at our open park sites. Each day, weather permitting, an hour of exercise and movement is conducted before a free nutritious lunch is served to anyone under the age of 19. Each week a major dance or exercise event is being held at one of the sites. We've partnered with the Benkadi Drum & Dance Company, of Cambridge, and are offering African dance lessons (with background drumming), and other fun dances.
Under the guidance of Bob Goodwin from our Recreation department, we will also be hosting a Field Day event which will include sack races, jump rope, soccer and hula hooping as well as other popular games that involve movement.
Continuing our collaboration with the Agenda for Children's Literacy Initiative The Book Bike will again be at Greene-Rose Heritage Park (Mondays), Hoyt Field (Wednesdays), Danehy Park (Thursdays), Gold Star Mother's Park (Fridays), and Russell Field Park (Fridays), with FREE books and activities. The Book Bike will arrive at each site at 11:30 A.M. on the scheduled day.
Please join us at our parks throughout the summer and "Let's Move, Let's Eat and Let's Read."

Sans titreHelmut Nimczewski
untitled, 1987
ballpoint pen, felter pen and coloured pencil on paper
42 x 56,5 cm
© photo credit
Collection de l'Art Brut, Lausanne
Helmut (1945), Germany
BiographyHelmut (Helmut Nimczewski, 1945 or 1946) was born in Heidelberg, Germany. He was brought up by his mother and never knew his father. Retarded, probably as a result of brain damage caused by his epilepsy, he was put into various specialised institutions. After a long stay in a psychiatric hospital, he moved to a sheltered home in Hamburg. He likes going for walks and takes his camera along with him. He is very devout and never misses a service.
Helmut is a stickler for order, uniformity and exactitude. He is fascinated by crowds and draws in great detail the spectators at a football match or swimming championship sitting in tightpacked rows on the stands. The drivers and the passengers of the vehicles he draws always seem to be travelling in perfect harmony along clearly marked roads, straight rails, or over smooth seas. Helmut works directly with coloured pencil and felt pens, using bright colours, and spends about eight weeks on each drawing.

Hello all,
I recently did Apitherapy for arthritis and bone spur in my left hip. I got stung 2-3 times once weekly for 3 weeks. It is going on the 3rd week with no pain and no problems with my hip. I stupidly took prednesone prescribed by my doctor and will never, ever take it again. If I get to where I am in pain again, I know what to do: make a trip to the bee yard and take care of business. It works for me. That is all I can say.

There's been much debate about video games and their relationship with motor racing. Sure, a Formula One simulator used by many of the F1 teams is about as close to the real thing as you can get but they cost more than an actual F1 car and are probably not best described as "a video game".
However, as in most cases there is an exception to the rule and UK driver Jann Mardenborough is a case in point. The 19-year-old began his motorsport career as a video gamer.
In 2011 he won the Nissan Sony Playstation Gran Turismo gaming competition (beating 116,000 others), which gave him the opportunity to attend the GT Academy. Being the best driver on a real track gained him a season of British GT racing in 2012.
His record speaks for itself. He has won a race, made it to the podium a number of times, put his car on pole and finished second in the championship. However, single seater racing - he is competing in this year's Toyota Racing Series - is a whole new ball game.
"Nissan thought it would be a good idea to get me to come and do the Toyota Racing Series in single seaters as a way of gaining a better understanding of where to put me in 2013," said Mardenborough. "It's another feather in my cap, really, as these cars are completely different to saloon cars and so will make me more rounded as a driver."
Mardenborough's only previous foray into any form of racing outside of video games had been a day at an indoor karting track in the UK. He hadn't even driven an outdoor kart before he attended the GT Academy and was handed the keys to a Nissan GTR.
"Driving a real race car was certainly different from playing at racing on a 14-inch TV at home.
"I'd never driven a sports car before or even been sideways. Arriving at Silverstone and being let loose in a GT car with 400 horsepower was a real big thrill. However, the training we had was second to none.
"It was like being thrown in the deep end but I think that can be the best way to learn. I've always been interested in race cars but there was no way I ever thought I'd be a professional race car driver.
"It's all a learning curve [single seaters] and the team and I are figuring out what is good for me in the car and we're just taking it steady at the moment. We might not be the quickest just yet but we're getting more and more information to help in the future," he said.
Mardenborough followed his own sage advice in race one of the TRS at Teretonga yesterday and didn't push the envelope to come home in a solid 11th place, the first rookie across the line, just behind local driver Damon Leitch. Austrian driver Lucas Auer, back in New Zealand for his second visit, was consistently fast from the time the cars were unloaded off the trucks on Wednesday. He qualified on pole and when the lights went out, held off fellow front row sitter Alex Lynn and defending champion, New Zealander Nick Cassidy.
Last time Auer raced here, he was just as fast but erratic - having a number of off-track excursions and mishaps. A year of European racing has smoothed out the bumps in his driving style and he can now add consistency to his speed.
Auer reeled off a number of super quick opening laps to pull a 2.5s gap on Cassidy and Lynn and then settled into a smooth, flowing groove and was never threatened over the ensuing 12 laps.
Cassidy pulled a similar gap on Britain's Lynn to come home second with Puerto Rican Felix Serralles and Brazilian Bruno Bonifacio rounding out the top five.

Point of origin found for Waldo Canyon Fire
Fire now at 90% containment
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. - Firefighters are continuing to battle what's being called the worst fire in Colorado history.
The Waldo Canyon Fire has destroyed 346 homes and damaged more than two dozen others.
Two people have been confirmed dead and both were found in the same home at 2910 Rossmere St.
The fire is 90% contained as of Thursday morning. It has scorched more than 18,247 acres since June 23. Fire crews estimate that the fire will be contained by Friday, July 6th.
The cause of the fire remains unknown, but an investigative team says it has found the spot where the fire started. Investigators are seeking the public's help for possible leads to the exact cause of the Waldo Canyon Fire. U.S. Forest Service Investigators are looking for people who were in the Waldo Canyon area at or around time of ignition and may have seen something that will help the investigators. If you were in the Waldo Canyon or Pyramid Mountain area on Friday or Saturday, June 22-23, please call 719-477-4205 and leave your name, contact number and someone will return your call. Investigators are hoping that with the public's help, they can determine the cause of the Waldo Canyon Fire.
Firefighters are aided by helicopters, air tankers and military planes dropping water and retardant.
Colorado Springs Police Chief Peter Carey said 24 burglaries have been confirmed in the area affected by the fire. The National Guard has now deployed 160 people to help patrol the area.
The fire has threatened thousands of homes and scores of businesses. It forced the evacuation of more than 36,000 people, most last Tuesday when strong winds whipped the blaze into a firestorm that spewed ash and smoke. Officials said Sunday afternoon that number is now down to 3,000 people. Incident leaders said it may take 4 to 6 four to six weeks before those evacuees in the Mountain Shadows neighborhood will be allowed to return home if their house is still standing because of heavy damage to utilities in the area.
So far the cost of the blaze is estimated to be $11.1 million dollars. President Barack Obama declared Colorado a disaster area to allow federal dollars to help fight the Waldo Canyon Fire as well the High Park Fire.
Mandatory evacuations are still in effect for parts of the Mountain Shadows neighborhood. Woodland Park, Cascade, Chipita Park, Crystola, Cedar Heights and Green Mountain Falls remain under pre-evacuation status. Highway 24 reopened Sunday afternoon. Officials say they have reduced the speed limit. Also they want you to know that firefighters are still working near Highway 24, so please drive with caution.
The El Paso County Health Department also announced an "unhealthy" air quality status. People with chronic lung problems or cardiac problems should remain inside and avoid exercising outdoors.
A call center has been established to answer non-emergency questions regarding the Waldo Canyon fire 719-955-0742.

ISC West: What You Need to Know for the Show
The preeminent tradeshow for installing and monitoring security providers, ISC West is back for another round in Las Vegas. To help attendees prepare for this exciting event, SSI offers a concise overview of what individuals can expect from this year's show.
Ashley Willis March 6, 2013
Many undoubtedly take the slogan, "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" to heart. But come April 10-12, it will be hard to keep 23,000+ security dealers, consultants, manufacturers, distributors, central stations and other industry specialists from discussing the latest technologies they've seen at the 2013 International Security Conference (ISC) West.
Held at the Sands Expo & Convention Center, the 45th annual ISC West, hosted by Reed Exhibitions and sponsored by the Security Industry Association (SIA), provides the largest electronic physical security space in North America. For first-timers — and even regular attendees — that might seem overwhelming, especially when thinking of putting together a show schedule. However, the event organizers offer two online tools to help participants navigate the show floor, with the ISC Mobile app for Web-enabled cellphones and tablets and the "My Show Planner." Each resource allows users to search for exhibitors, view floor plans, review educational sessions and build show agendas.
Certainly, a big part of the trade show is networking opportunities, and what better place to meet and greet with industry colleagues than at SSI's SAMMY Awards (for listing of this year's finalists, click here)? Those looking to relax before hitting the massive show floor, which will boast more than 1,000 exhibitors, can hit the links for the Alarm Industry Research and Education Foundation's (AIREF) annual golf tournament the day before the big event (for more on AIREF, see this month's "Between Us Pros"). SIA will also conduct its annual New Product Showcase (NPS), honoring the most innovative product introductions, for all the technology buffs on the show floor.
Many attendees will also look forward to the State of the Industry address, "What Will It Take to Be a 2020 Security Leader?" And, this being the entertainment capital of the world, no doubt show-goers want to see the numerous sights and attractions on the Las Vegas Strip.
Phew, that's a lot to take in — and we have not even begun to discuss all of the education tracks, social mixers and more ISC West will also offer! Keep reading to find out what attendees can expect from one of the electronic security industry's favorite and most important events, one that typically sets the business tenor for the rest of the year.
Educating the Masses
This year, show coordinators have retitled the name of its three-day education series as SIA Education @ ISC West. Held April 9-11, the program features multiple tracks designed to help attendees choose which sessions best fit their needs. Show planners have also adjusted the education schedule to make sure that participants have enough time to visit the exhibit floor, while not missing any courses offered.
On the first day of the series, attendees can still expect fan favorite IP-T.A.C.² Bootcamp (IP Technology Advancement Center and Certificate), a one-day comprehensive training on IP/IT surveillance and technical standards. PSA-TEC @ ISC will also be back and will feature five sessions, focusing on general sales training, physical security information management (PSIM), virtual guard services and video surveillance. SSI "Convergence Channel" columnist Paul Boucherle will also moderate the "Leadership at all Levels: Integrator-Proven Practices to Increase Professionalism and Profitability" panel, explaining how effective leadership within the organization drives success for the company.
As in previous years, SIA Education @ ISC West will offer two education tracks for dealers and installers — Business and Technology. Aimed to help electronic security contractors expand their operations, the business seminars offer ways to improve sales, marketing and boost recurring monthly revenue (RMR). For business leaders seeking to learn how to create effective and manageable prospecting plans for each member of their sales team, "Put the 'Love' into Sales Prospecting" session might be a good course to take.
In the technology track, dealers and installers will review new strategies for effectively implementing the latest technologies. Topics include enterprise mobile duress, vehicle security systems, megapixel surveillance and building information modeling.
The Partnership for Priority Video Alarm Response (PPVAR) will host a session on April 10 detailing how priority video alarm response will increase the rates of arrests and apprehensions of intruders. On April 11, SSI Editor-in-Chief Scott Goldfine will moderate the Open Network Video Interface Forum's (ONVIF) panel discussion that will address standards initiatives in the market and their impacts, end-user and installer experiences, and more. Panelists include Axis Communications' Steve Surfaro, SIA's Jeff Slotnick and ONVIF Steering Committee Chairman Per Björkdahl (for an exclusive interview with him and more on ONVIF, see this month's Hot Seat on page 20).
SIA Education @ ISC courses qualify for continuing education (CE) hours. Attendees will receive certificates of attendance after the show to self-report education hours for CE credit.

Starting Position: Make sure that you are working with a partner who can catch the ball. Let the partner feel the medicine ball first so the partner knows how much it weighs and can prepare to catch it. Position your body directly facing your partner with the feet hip-width apart, the left foot slightly forward and the right foot slightly back, heels on the floor. The spine is in neutral (normal-to-flat), shoulder blades pulling down your back. Your chest is lifted and your head is in line with your spine. Contract and brace the abdominals. Hold the medicine ball with both hands. Your eyes should be looking directly at the target in order to properly aim the throw.
Swing your arms upward to bring the medicine ball overhead, bending your elbows to reach the medicine ball behind your head. Your feet are pressed into the ground, and abdominal muscles braced. As you lift the ball over your head, shift your weight back into your right leg and lean back, engaging the core muscles for extra power in the throw. While preparing to release the ball aim the throw by keeping your eyes on your partner's hands as you pull the ball back over your head.
Explosively step forward with the right leg, push the left leg into the ground to fully extend the ankles, hips and knees to generate momentum, as you bring your arms forward over your head to generate power for throwing the ball.
Exercise Variation: Repeating throws: Use a wall with a medicine ball capable of bouncing and position yourself so that you can throw the ball into the wall and quickly catch it to prepare for the next throw.The purpose of this exercise is to generate upper body power, use a ball that is no more than 10% of your bodyweight to ensure that you can achieve the appropriate velocity for the throw.

Die Antwoord vs Enya – Orinoco Ninja Flow (Wedding DJs Remix)
Over the past month, the South African dj/hip-hop troupe, Die Antwoord, have been causing quite a ruckus. Whether you respect them for their originality, or are bashing them for their ridiculousness, it's no secret that these kids are on the tips of many a tight tongue.
The trio of Ninja, Yo-Landi Vi$$er and DJ Hi-Tek are capitalizing on their interesting beats, and more so, on the strength of their uniquely weird vocal stylings and videographic "say what's".
To learn a little more about what the heck is going on in the heads of Die Antwoord, watch the interview below, in which they swear they are the "anti-gangsters".
The real star here is Yo-Landi Vi$$er. I'm just throwin' that out there. Ninja's rhymes are on point, by Vi$$er's vocals are piqued and perfect.
Grab a track from Die Antwoord, along with Wedding DJs' fantastic mix and mash with an Enya classic. (thanks to Wat Kyk Jy?)

As we reach the height of the annual summer property rush, the Auckland market is running hot; in the provinces things are more sedate. Wherever you live, when it comes time to sell you want to do all you can to get the best price for what may well be your biggest asset. We've asked the experts for their advice, and some things they suggest will cost you no more than elbow grease.
1. Get into home maintenance:
If something is broken, fix it, says Paul McKenzie, marketing manager for realestate.co.nz, the website that has almost all agents' listings nationwide (roughly 80,000 properties at any time).
Something as minor as a leaking tap can be a turn-off for buyers. But McKenzie reckons you don't have to make things perfect in a "hot market" such as Central Auckland, where buyers are often willing to overlook many things in their determination to secure a home.
His main recommendation is to make your place look "maintenance friendly" because most people do not want to feel overwhelmed by too much to do. They want to get to the beach sometimes.
2. Create indoor-outdoor flow:
Kiwis are so attached to this concept it's now part of our lexicon. McKenzie advises looking at your place with fresh eyes and thinking how you can accentuate the ease of moving from indoors to the garden. It might cost to put in a set of French doors and build a deck or patio, but you will get this investment back several times over come sale time.
3. Suss your buyers:
McKenzie says to think hard about who your buyers might be and what they want, and then make sure your home offers that. For example, if it's a home that might be snapped up by entertainers then focus on making that space shine. Or if you're in a good school zone and want to attract families then think about how to make the place child-friendly, such as fully fencing the yard. If you're near a good high school that will attract families with teenagers, can you create a rumpus room or teen hangout-zone? For families, a second bathroom is almost a must, so if you can squeeze in an en suite somewhere, you'll reap the rewards. If, however, your buyers will be landlords or first-home owners, don't overspend.
4. Ensure perfect presentation:
Anthea Baker from homebase.co.nz, a company which stages, styles and does interiors, says de-clutter, tidy and clean your house "within an inch of its life", mow that lawn and do the gardens, maximise your space by choosing furniture that fits the room (less is more). If need be, put some of your stuff into storage and hire some pieces.
Everyone loves light, so trim trees near windows and remove awful curtains or blinds that close in a room. Make it look homely. Baker says having your place home-staged works.
An American study on rows of identical houses revealed the ones that were home-staged sold for 10-15 per cent more. So if you're selling a $600,000 home then that's $60,000 extra in your pocket, she says. Rachel Dovey, Bayleys real estate residential manager for Auckland central, also agrees home staging can have "a dramatic effect on the price people might pay" because "people buy with their eyes". The more vibrant a place looks and with energy and clean lines then the more it will appeal. For more ideas read the book Make the Most from your House Sale: Grooming Your Home for Maximum Profit by Catherine Smith. It's jam-packed full of ideas, including making sure your place is not too feminine "for the average house-hunting bloke".
5. Take the colour challenge:
Resene's Karen Warman says neutrals are safe, but there is such a thing as "too safe". "A house still needs to be memorable and, if the building doesn't have interesting architecture, then often it's the colour scheme, and more often than not the feature colours, that are memorable". There are many colours that are enduring and popular and Resene ColorShop staff can advise on these. For example, Resene Pohutukawa is a perennial favourite. Once you've chosen your colours, make sure the other interior components fit together by co-ordinating pictures, cushions and rugs. Meanwhile, Warman adds that painting the outside of your home and letterbox can make a good first impression. A freshly stained deck also doesn't go amiss.
6. Find the agent right for you:
Ask your neighbours or friends at the local shops who they would recommend, says McKenzie. Go to open homes and see what agents are like in action. Then ask how they would market your property and what you might need to do to get a great price. Plus, see if they're selling similar properties via www.realestate.co.nz. Ask them how many people they're getting through similar homes in the area, and what those homes are selling for. "You want someone you click with, but who will ultimately sell your house."
7. Choose the right sales method for your property:
Dovey says auctions generally rule, particularly in Auckland. They're transparent for everyone involved and can get the maximum dollar if there are competing, passionate bidders. This works for vendors as it's all on their terms, including the settlement date, reserve price and any conditions. However, an agent will ultimately advise if they think another method might work better, eg, a property that needs a lot of due diligence might sell best through a tender so people have time to get specialist reports. Dovey reckons price by negotiation is generally "too confusing". She suggests asking agents for statistics on similar houses they've sold in the area. Research what your property is worth - look at QV and REINZ figures and talk to people you know who have bought and sold in the area recently.
8. Get snap happy:
Photos "captivate the buyer and drive people to the property", says McKenzie, who recommends using about 25 pictures with your online listing. He says it's okay to get different angles of rooms so people can get different view-points but make sure the pictures are good quality. "Don't use your i-Phone!" Also make sure they're large, people are frustrated by tiny images. Photos should show the street view of your house, its entrance, living rooms/lounges, bedrooms, kitchen, garage/storage and gardens. If you have a nice bathroom, include that. Great photos captivate and engage browsers, encouraging them to go on to read the property details and consider a physical inspection.
9. Think about marketing:
People need more than just a few lines about a property as "people have limited imaginations", says Dovey. They need great photographs and powerful words to sell an image of a home. She reckons people first search on things like the number of bedrooms and bathrooms and, in some cases, if there's a carpark. "That's how people make that first consideration." She says boast about your home's key assets, such as its north-facing aspect, quiet neighbourhood, good school zone, local amenities, nearby public transport, or if your house is architecturally designed. A rich description of the property and neighbourhood will encourage more contact from buyers. Don't be afraid to highlight
fun points of difference, such as a cool cafe down the road, or a nearby playground with a great flying fox.
10. Maximise your reach:
Dovey says the more advertising you do, the bigger your "reach" of potential buyers. Make sure you're in print in Heraldhomes and Sunday Homes, as well as online. Print works well for real estate because it's photo driven, so pay a bit extra for more space so you can use your photos bigger, and spread your print ads through the week to capture the maximum number of readers. Remember, "people buy with their eyes".
For online listings, pay that little bit extra to bring your listing to the top of the page and for alerts. List on a range of websites. Buyers will look everywhere to net a range of homes worth looking at, so make sure your place is put in front of them at every turn.
Been around The Block
Brother and sister team Ben and Libby Crawford won the first series of The Block NZ last year, netting $237,000 in prize money after auctioning their renovated North Shore do-up for well over its reserve of $961,000.
Off the back of this success, they've set up their own creative agency, Libby & Ben.They've worked for clients in sectors including soft drinks, sports equipment, tourism, beauty, infrastructure and web retail.
So how can you replicate their success? It's all in the planning, they say. The TV series might have made it look as though each room was renovated in isolation, but Libby and Ben say they had the colour scheme for the whole house mapped out before they even picked up a paint brush.
"We did lots of greys ... but well under 50 shades," jokes Ben.
They also picked their Scandinavian-inspired style early on, with its clean lines and modern edge. They had a vision to work from.
They were also not afraid to be a bit bold, opting for oversized doors and door knobs and doing a timber wall feature.
Libby advises to think of a renovation "as a whole and not just a series of rooms". You want continuity. Ben adds that people notice when a house "fits well together".
When it comes to choosing colours, don't go too neutral, "it runs the risk of being too sterile", says Libby. She reckons you should give a place some "personality". Ben adds that without some colour people might walk into a house and feel "indifferent".
But also think about what buyers might ultimately want. For example, Libby's currently painting her Christchurch home grey (you guessed it!) because it's not her "forever house". She'll sell it one day, and so she wants a colour with wide appeal.
They both agree that renovators should spend only the amount they can get back if they plan to sell. So if you're renovating in Remuera, splash out on that granite benchtop, but hold back if it's a place in a first-home buyers' market.
Ben advises blokes not be too "scared or macho" to ask experts for advice. It's better to get things right, and besides, shop assistants usually love to help.
Ben says "be kind to your tradies" and pay them on time too. They'll do their best to do a great job and they "might even do it a bit faster".

Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
Hi Jamie
I am a massive fan of trying out varieties of veg that you can't get in the supermarket - but I've never come accross Cardoon but having just googled it I'm willing to give it a go.
I do try and grow traditional veg in more unsusal varieties - I have some fantastic purple carrots, which look amazing when sliced raw, with their bright orange middles. Choggia beetroot is another big favourite of mine, I will definately be replanting this next year, it looks so great raw in salads.
I have also got some lovely yellow patty pan and and yellow courgettes, which I think are much sweeter than the normal green variety and look so lovely in my garden.
the other veg I have recently discovered are yellow french beans - smoother and more waxy than normal green ones and just delicious.
Would love any more ideas for unsual or hertiage varieties of veg, this is my first year of growing my own after being inspired by Jamie At Home and I am now hooked!

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
Hi Jamie,
Here in Portugal we still use cardoon, I've called it cardamom, in this recipe I've posted earlier in the forum and in my blog! Here we use Cardoon to make some cheese, too. But I don't know how to do it.
Hen in 'Potagem' (?) the French way
for four persons:
4 big over-thighs of hen
200 gr fresh liver of hen
40 gr grains of mustard
30 gr of bacon
30 gr chopped onions
100 ml extra olive oil
20 gr of fresh mixed herbs (laurel, rosemary, salvia, nutmeg, clove)
3 gr of whole cardamom
12 slices of grilled tomatoes
240 gr potatoes in cubes
15 gr of chopped parsley
1,5 lt of water
Salt and pepper to taste
Mild frying of the over-thighs with the flavorings up to brownish, withdraw from the frying pan the hen and leave it separate, in the same frying pan put the liver till it gets a beautiful color. Withdraw the livers and take them to the oven for 3 minutes to get a firm consistence. The over-thighs (without the livers) and all other ingredients will be put in a saucepan to cook during 45 minutes in gentle fire. After that take out the hen and leave them separated.
Preparation of the french sauce:
With the broth from cooking the over-thighs mix in the mustard and add the liver (properly chopped in small cubes) and lead to the fire to acquire a good consistency, once having the ready sauce begin the assembly of the plate.
Assembly of the plate:
Put the hen over-thigh in a half of the plate, in another half, put the sauce, over it the grilled slices of tomatoes and, on the side the potatoes pulverizing them with the chopped parsley. Serve very warm.
There's another plant/fruit that's not some much used our days, only to make some alcohol (aguardente)... It's medronho, in latin Arbutus unedo. Don't know the english word. It's quite a natural alcoholic fruit, when I was younger I used to eat some from the trees and you can get easily drunk, but it's quite tasteful. You can only find these tree in inland, mediterranean places, but because it's autotonous (natural from mediterranean countries) it's quickly disapearing.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
It seems to me that cardo could be used as well as erba zolfina instead of caglio (rennet) to make milk coagulate into cheese
there has been a mostra nearby, in Aquileia, ancient roman citt�, organized by the local Seedsavers association, I would have gone by I didn't, there you find all sorts of adopted plants that are no more in vendita, and there fore dimenticate = forgotten

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
Here's another recipe that uses rose petals and orange tree flowers. Think it's not very common to use them, specially the orange flower...
Fig Jam
1 kg of 'Honey-drop' Fig
700 g sugar
2 sticks of cinnamon
50 g rose petals
6 cl water from orange tree flower
Cook the sugar, the figs and cinnamon togther. Let it boil, always mixing it, till you get the right consistence. Then join the orange flower water and the rose petals, envolve all, let it boil again and take from the fire. Put it in jars, close them very well and turn them upside down, leaving them to cool.
Serve with toasts or use it in cakes or pies...
Just posted in my blog, too...

Cardoon here in greece is called something like wild artichoke or something.
Other "forgotten" vegetables that I have tasted are the wild versions of parsley, celery, radish, fennel and that kind of stuff. I have tried a vegetable/herbal pie from my granny with these wild veg and they taste amazing and I could say much better.
But they are wild so I don't no if you can plant and cultivate them. I will ask my granny today and she would surely now some stuff that people don't eat anymore!

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
Hi Jamie/Everyone,
This is my first message since I registered and I am still trying to get the hang of how this works... please bear with me.
On the matter of forgotten vegetable and fruits, there are a few here in Madeira...maybe not forgotten, but certainly strange to other parts of Europe.
We have a fruit called "pitanga" - I believe the correct translation would be suriname cherry. It grows in Brazil and here. Has an acid taste and is absolutely amazing as a dessert topping/coulis or used to make a chilled pudding. If anyone is interested in a recipe...if of course you can get the fruit, I'd be happy to oblige...
We also have another strange fruit called "ara�al". I'm not even sure of the Portuguese spelling (I could not find the word in the dictionary) and can terefore not give a translation. It is larger than the "pitanga", more of a yellow colour and sweeter.
Another fruit largely eaten here around this time of year comes from a cactus and is called "tabaibos". Hard to peel without getting a prickle caught in your finger...
As for veg, here we grow and eat a lot of "pimpinela" or chu chu.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
My grandfather loved cardoons.
They were also apparently popular here in the states in George Washington's time. There is a garden at Mount Vernon that supposedly grows the veggies that were on the plantation in that era. There are always cardoons. They serve them in the restaurant sometimes; scalloped like you might do oysters. Lots of cream and breadcrumbs on top. They were sometimes called poor mans oysters.

A phenomenal worldwide bestseller for over thirty years, Richard Adams's Watership Down is a timeless classic and one of the most beloved novels of all time. Set in England's Downs, a once idyllic rural landscape, this stirring tale of adventure, courage and survival follows a band of very special creatures on their flight from the intrusion of man and the certain destruction of their home. Led by a stouthearted pair of brothers, they journey forth from their native Sandleford Warren through the harrowing trials posed by predators and adversaries, to a mysterious promised land and a more perfect society.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Fiver could sense danger. Something terrible was going to happen to the warren - he felt sure of it. So did his brother Hazel, for Fiver's sixth sense was never wrong. They had to leave immediately, and they had to persuade the other rabbits to join them. And so begins a long and perilous journey of a small band of rabbits in search of a safe home. Fiver's vision finally leads them to Watership Down, but here they face their most difficult challenge of all... Watership Down is an epic journey, a stirring tale of adventure, courage and survival against the odds.Review:
Watership Down has been a staple of high-school English classes for years. Despite the fact that it's often a hard sell at first (what teenager wouldn't cringe at the thought of 400-plus pages of talking rabbits?), Richard Adams's bunny-centric epic rarely fails to win the love and respect of anyone who reads it, regardless of age. Like most great novels, Watership Down is a rich story that can be read (and reread) on many different levels. The book is often praised as an allegory, with its analogs between human and rabbit culture (a fact sometimes used to goad skeptical teens, who resent the challenge that they won't "get" it, into reading it), but it's equally praiseworthy as just a corking good adventure.
The story follows a warren of Berkshire rabbits fleeing the destruction of their home by a land developer. As they search for a safe haven, skirting danger at every turn, we become acquainted with the band and its compelling culture and mythos. Adams has crafted a touching, involving world in the dirt and scrub of the English countryside, complete with its own folk history and language (the book comes with a "lapine" glossary, a guide to rabbitese). As much about freedom, ethics, and human nature as it is about a bunch of bunnies looking for a warm hidey-hole and some mates, Watership Down will continue to make the transition from classroom desk to bedside table for many generations to come. --Paul Hughes

My daughter loves this decadent ice cream and begs me to make it often. Instant coffee adds a wonderfully rich flavor that complements the chocolate-covered pecans and buttery toffee chips. —Jamie Parker, Lubbock, Texas
- 4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 4 cups half-and-half cream
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cans (5 ounces each) evaporated milk
- 3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1 cup almond brickle chips or English toffee bits
- 8 ounces dark chocolate candy coating, chopped
- In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Refrigerate until chilled.
- In a small bowl, combine pecans and brickle chips. In a microwave, melt candy coating; stir until smooth. Pour over pecan mixture. Transfer to a 15x10x1-in. pan. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm; chop and set aside.
- Fill cylinder of ice cream freezer two-thirds full; freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. (Refrigerate remaining mixture until ready to freeze.)
