Because in my opinion either one of these 3 will be BPA and need at pick 19. With Osi gone and Tuck declining rapidly they do need another starting DE opposite to JPP and Ezekiel Ansah will be an excellent fit for this defense a freak of nature with massive athletic ability a kind of player Reese loves to draft. Chance Warmack is a punishing blocking offensive guard that is excellent in run blocking and underrated in pass protection would immediately upgrade this offensive line especially if the Giants keep Beatty and Boothe wouldn't mind this pick at all. And Alec Ogletree what can I say is a monster ILB that will help the Giants immediately in their LB core which has been very weak for the past 5 years or so now if they want to stop RG III and Alfred Morris's running attack or stop the running game in general then they need to fix the LB core in a hurry and Ogletree will be a great start.
Like I said can't go wrong with either pick but if I have to pick one if all is available then I will have to go with Alec Ogletree because I think linebackers is a big need and Ogletree can arguably be the BPA at pick 19. Kiwanuka is useless at LB cause he's too slow to play the position plus they will probably move him back to DE where he belongs which that will give Herzlich a shot next year to win the strongside LB position (which is where he naturally plays and I'm willing to give him another shot). Blackburn has shown some nice things but let's face it he stinks can't stop the run at all and he's not that great against the pass either and with Boley declining fast also we got to hope that Williams can stay on the field next year cause he's shown he's pretty quick and can pass coverage very well.
What do you guys think?

A group of beekeepers and environmentalists announced today that they are suing the Environmental Protection Agency in an effort to curb the use of insecticides they say are decimating bee populations and putting our nations food supply in jeopardy.
The four beekeepers and five environmental and consumer groups involved in the lawsuit, including the Pesticide Action Network, Center for Food Safety and Beyond Pesticides, say the link between neonicotinoidsa nicotine-like class of pesticides that include clothianidin and thiamethoxamand bee die offs is crystal clear. And they claim the EPA acted outside the law when it allowed for conditional registration of their use. Syngenta and Bayer Crop Science are the primary manufacturers of clothianidin and thiamethoxam.

Just wondering what you take when you go to a week-end quilting retreat. I've taught all day classes on a specific block or quilt but never gone on a week-end quilt retreat. I know sewing machine, iron, etc but what kind of projects?
I am going on a 4 day retreat next week. I am taking 2 - 3 projects. I try to have everything cut and ready to sew. I do not take anything that is tedious to work on. I live easy projects so I can start and stop to visit with others. I am taking materials to make an Irish Chain and also to make a Chevron quilt as shown on Missouri Star Quilt Company tutorial. Have fun and enjoy your retreat, I know I will mine.
I'm leaving in a few hours - can't wait! There are so many projects I wanted to bring that I had a hard time narrowing it down. I ended up with fabric and pattern for a queen sized quilt that I designed a while back and have been wanting to sink my teeth into it. I know I'll need a few breaks from it, so I also brought a few blocks (okay, about 20) all kitted up and ready to make. Since the retreat is right near my LQS I can always pop in there if I get bored with what I brought. I just loaded my quilting stuff in the car and only have to shower and pack - yippee!
I'm going this next week to a week long retreat! I go to several a year. I take mindless sewing projects that I can chain piece or sew big blocks. Too much gabbing and fun going on to concentrate on math and matching. One project I do, have a ten minute blocks all cut and ready to sew. I give one block kit to each person and ask them to make it and sign it. It doesn't take them but a few minutes and many haven't made one before and think it's great.
I try and have things mostly cut and ready to sew. The main things I don't take are paper piecing and any actual quilting. Paper piecing just makes a huge mess and you generally don't have a huge amount of space to quilt anything very big.
To the last retreat I took a bed runner that all the paper pieced blocks were done and the rest just needed put together, a small paper pieced wall hanging that just needed put together and a shop hop quilt that hadn't been started yet. I got the bed runner together, the wall hanging together and all but 3 of the shop hop blocks done.
Bellaboo, I like the idea of the 10 minute blocks for everyone to make and sign.
If it's my annual week long retreat I take a variety of projects - sometimes blocks that need assembling into a top and I don't have the floor space at home + 3 or 4 quilt projects that are in various stages lrading to done.
Next month I'm on a 3 1/2 day retreat I'm taking a mostly already cut queen star quilt and a twin sports quilt for a teen aged boy, already cut.
I take way too much when I go on retreats. My fear is I'll run into an issue and won't have anything to work on. Or I'll get bored and want to work on something else. One year I took 4 quilts which just needed finishing up -- a few rows added or borders. Got them all done. Haven't done so well since then. This past year I only worked on one quilt -- I made setting blocks to go with my sampler blocks and started sewing the top together. I didn't get it finished, but it was close.
I try to get all the cutting done ahead of time if I'm working on a new project. I want mindless piecing so it's easy to pick up again after getting distracted by all that is going on around me.
And I learned we always take CHOCOLATE :)
Snacks are very important to take to a retreat. I am always worried that I will run out of things to take so I pack way too much. My favorite thing to do is to take my UFO's and see how many tops I can get finished in one weekend.

Re: Pink Slime
lukily it is not something that is allowed here in Canada. Health Canada does not allow ammonia to be used in meat packing industry. It is used in other food products though. In fact there is a cookie my mom used to make that used ammonium bicarbonate that was really good. I am less concerned with the process than with the way it is hidden and unlabeled . People should be given the choice to avoid it if they so wish.

We talked about it at my work just last week and I wasn't the one that brought the subject up. I was so proud that people know about Jamie from reading and not from hearing me talk about him and what he does. It made for a wonderful conversation.

Re: Pink Slime
Ammonia is not only in pink stuff.....
"Q: In what foods is ammonium hydroxide used in processing?
A: The list of foods in which ammonium hydroxide is used as a direct food additive is extensive and includes baked goods, cheeses, chocolates, other confectionery (e.g., caramel), and puddings. Ammonium hydroxide is also used as an antimicrobial agent in meat products.
Ammonia in other forms (e.g., ammonium sulfate, ammonium alginate) is used in condiments, relishes, soy protein concentrates/isolates, snack foods, jams and jellies, and non-alcoholic beverages.
The World Health Organization has listed hundreds of food types that may be processed using ammonium hydroxide when used in accordance with good manufacturing practices. These include dairy products, confections, fruits and vegetables, baked goods, breakfast cereals, eggs, fish, beverages such as sports drinks and beer, and meats."

New York Times article bashes U.S. Constitution
Original post made by Hank Lawrence, Menlo Park: Sharon Heights, on Feb 7, 2012
The reality is that the U.S. Constitution was never liked by the editorial board of the NYT. Did you think it could turn harder to the left than it was under Howell Raines? Think again.
The NYT does not like the fact that the founding fathers knew how iniquitous politicians are and would pervert the constitution in a Noo Yawk minute for political gain. That is why our founding fathers made the amendment process difficult.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg (formerly the GC for the ACLU) predictably says " "I would not look to the United States Constitution if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012"
Supreme Court Justice Joseph Breyer once said he thought the Constitution should be a living document. Don't you love those Clinton appointees? They truly advocate removing the protections to the U.S. Constitution given to us by our founding fathers so they can make our country more progressive. Progressive means European style socialism where the Government takes more from its citizens while stripping them of their freedoms.

Rough morning, Hank?
It's true, many would model a new system on Canada's 1982 constitution. A parliamentary system more closely represents all.
You forgot one of the Justices quoted in the article you trashed:
"There are, of course, limits to empirical research based on coding and counting, and there is more to a constitution than its words, as Justice Antonin Scalia told the Senate Judiciary Committee in October. "Every banana republic in the world has a bill of rights," he said.
"The bill of rights of the former evil empire, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, was much better than ours," he said, adding: "We guarantee freedom of speech and of the press. Big deal. They guaranteed freedom of speech, of the press, of street demonstrations and protests, and anyone who is caught trying to suppress criticism of the government will be called to account. Whoa, that is wonderful stuff!"
"Of course," Justice Scalia continued, "it's just words on paper, what our framers would have called a 'parchment guarantee.' " "
Don't worry Hank, it's halftime in America, and our 2nd half is about to begin.

But only when she's in an exceptionally good mood! ;-)
Or do you prefer the whole 3/5ths of a person counting thing that gave the slave states power?
As for why other countries ignore our Constitution - seriously - would YOU recommend they adopt the electoral college?!?!?!?
a resident of Menlo Park: Sharon Heights
on Feb 7, 2012 at 10:06 am
The U.S. Constitution is the best constitution ever written. The framers perceptively envisioned how some people, primarily liberals, under the guise of progressivism would strip away our freedoms.
And of course you totally misinterpreted what Scalia was saying. Which does not surprise me. Scalia merely pointed out that it is not the paper but the commitment behind the paper. Conservatives cherish the U.S Constitution while many liberals see it as an impediment to their desire to transition the United States into a socialist state.
The difference between the United States and those countries many liberals love is that most people in this country cherish their freedom.
Your lack of ignorance of the electoral college is appalling. First you should understand why the U.S. Senate was created and after you become eduacated in that matter perhaps you will understand why there is an electoral college and why it will never be abolished. Your proposal to abolish the electoral college would benefit 17 states and be a detriment to 33 states. So how to you propose to get 3/4 of the states to approve your scheme when nearly 2/3 of the States would suffer? Do you think Joe Biden would go for Delaware having 2/3 of its voting power stripped away? I think not!

Hank The US Constiution is one of the best written. However it was written in 1776 and probably needs to be updated. The example is the swearing in of the new president. Why does this still happen in Feb? Is does not take the incoming president that long to get to DC anymore. These and some other things should be updated.

Hank: Digitalis did not recommend abolishing the Electoral College, read his/her comment again.
You were asked a series of questions - you ignored all of them and settled on a straw man - abolishing the College. We all know it is here to stay. He/she asked if you would recommend it to another country. Would you?
"Your lack of ignorance of the electoral college is appalling." One notes you did not defend the College, only noted that is here to stay for political reasons - "So how to you propose to get 3/4 of the states to approve..."
Your: "The U.S. Constitution is the best constitution ever written." What about the questions or points you ignored?
Inequality for women?
Slaves being counted as 3/5ths of a person?
Haven't seen that in many recent Constitutions.
I will, however, celebrate with you the great victory for the Constitution today - equality for Californians wishing to be married. Cheers!

You can thank Roger Taney, the fifth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and a virulent racist Democrat for the Dred Scott Decision. Republicans were the abolitionists but those democrats loved slavery.
Thee is also a process for amending the constitution which liberals seem to forget.
a resident of Woodside: other
on Feb 7, 2012 at 11:35 am
Hank How many times has our constiution be amended , not many. This has nothing to do with liberals or conservatives. It stems from a system that encourages politicians to do what is best for them or their districts. There is no one in DC that cares what is best for the nation, too busy feathering their own nest. This applies to democrats and republicians.

From Straw Man to deflection.
With all your bloviating and ignoring the direct question posed by Digitalis ("are you an originalist? Strictly as its written?") we will assume that you DO AGREE the Constitution is a living document.
You ignored the question. You ignored questions about women's rights and slavery.
You do favor amending the Constitution as needed and viable. ("Thee is also a process for amending the constitution which liberals seem to forget.")
You favor a living Constitution.
Good to know. That's two things we can celebrate together!

Yes it was a great constitutional victory. Our founding fathers never intended to have one class of people's rights subordinated to any other class. This will go to the U.S. Supreme Court and I believe it will either uphold the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Decision or refuse to hear the case which means the 9th Circuit Court's ruling will stand. The 9th Circuit Court usually has an abysmal record but on this day it shined. This is a good day for America.

Quite a bit of detail and such on Prop 9, Hank. What about the larger Constitutional issues you brought up but refuse to address?
a resident of Menlo Park: Sharon Heights
on Feb 7, 2012 at 2:24 pm
It is Proposition 8. Please get your propositions correct.
The Territory of Wyoming became a state in 1890. Wyoming was and still is a predominatly Republican State. It was also the first state to give women the right to vote-- a right that was granted when it was a territory.
The Teddy Roosevelt Bull Moose party was the first political party to endorse Women's voting rights. It passed through both houses by a two-thirds+ majority was ratified by 3/4+ of the states.
We have a perfectly sound constitutional amendment process. In fact the United States would not have been a country without the first 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights. The founding fathers recognized that the Constitution was not perfect but did not want progressives, right wingers, or anyone of any political persuasion to change the constitution easily to suit the political views du jour. It is arguably a difficult process but one that allows much needed changes and deters meritless changes.

Sorry, hit the wrong key. As you may know, the 9 key is next to the 8 key. Again, so sorry to offend you superior intellect.
What about the larger Constitutional issues you brought up but refuse to address - by highlighting examples of the amendment process, are you telling us that you believe the Constitution is a living document?
By avoiding that question and the ones addressing slavery and women's rights, you have twisted yourself into knots.

For STRICT originalist...
How does the phrase about the MILITIA get left off??
As passed by the Congress:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
As ratified by the States and authenticated by Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State:
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed
Were our founding fathers just sipping really hard tea when they started their sentence with all the MILITIA nonsense?? I think NOT. Historically? NOT!
As for adding amendments? If that's the only way to put POLITICIANS in their place so be it. Australia is a bit more reasonable and allows people to vote on referendums. They also make sure that everyone actually votes.

"We don't do democracy as well as some other countries". What you really mean is "we don't do socialism as well as other countries". But we are trying. Give Obama another term and we will be well along our way to the utopian socialist state-- More regulation, less wealth, less freedom, no vibrancy, more guilt, more unhappiness and distant memories of what a great country the United States once was as we devolve into squalor.
We can always do better. That is how civilizations evolve. We just have different ideas about doing better. I believe in Capitalism and reasoned regulation that allows individuality and creativity to flourish. Many liberals believe that the State should reign supreme over the individual and decide what freedoms the individual will have and how much they will confiscate from people who work hard to fund idealistic pipe dreams.

"What about the larger Constitutional issues you brought up but refuse to address - by highlighting examples of the amendment process, are you telling us that you believe the Constitution is a living document?"
By not answering it - I guess we agree that is is a living, breathing document.
We already know why you won't address slavery and women's rights, don't we?

James Madison, one of the original Federalists along with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay said "I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations…This danger ought to be wisely guarded against."
So James Madsion warned against people like Jospeh Breyer who would gleefully allow liberals to manipulate and usurp the constitution to suit their twisted political objectives.
The founders recognized this potential abuse and instituted a process that allowed needed change but required approval of 2/3+ of both the House and Senate and ratification of 3/4+ of all the states. It is a shame that Jody can't seem to grasp this simple concept.
While calling it a living document can cause different semantical interpretations I would call it a living document with significant protections against abuse by activists who seek to stultify the constitution and trample upon our individual rights and freedoms.

"It is a shame that Jody can't seem to grasp this simple concept. "
You are an amazing person - do you cop such an awful attitude when you are with someone - or just treat them that way when you are safely behind a computer screen?????
What on earth makes you think I did not understand the amendment rules as they stand?!?
Glad we can agree the Constitution is a living breathing document. Only took asking 5 times for you to answer it. So on one hand you hate calling it a living document ("...Breyer once said he thought the Constitution should be a living document. Don't you love those Clinton appointees? ")
And a day later you say: "...I would call it a living document with significant protections ..."
But according to Hank, I can't "grasp this simple concept."
Have a good day...

partial quotations can result in misinterpretations.
I said
"I would call it a living document with significant protections against abuse by activists who seek to stultify the constitution and trample upon our individual rights and freedoms".
This is done to protect against hijacking the constitution by people who don't like what it says and want to change it into something entirely different. The difficult amendment process was done so purposely to thwart perversion of the constitution by political opportunists who have no loyalty to their country but only loyalty to their self serving political agendas.

To the tune of the Mickey Mouse theme song... Everyone sing!
"H-Y-P, O-C-R (are ya listening?) I-S-Y...
Hypocri-sy.... see ya real soon!"
Not even going to touch "The difficult amendment process" vs "Thee is also a process for amending the constitution which liberals seem to forget".

Hank -
Thanks for the link to the NYT article - I'd missed it somehow. It is quite thought provoking how other nations have stopped looking to our constitution for inspiration in designing their own.
One paragraph from the article stood out for me and I wondered what your thoughts were, given that you apparently think the Constitution the founding fathers handed us is near perfect and doesn't need much updating:
"Other nations routinely trade in their constitutions wholesale, replacing them on average every 19 years. By odd coincidence, Thomas Jefferson, in a 1789 letter to James Madison, once said that every constitution "naturally expires at the end of 19 years" because "the earth belongs always to the living generation."
Sounds like you're not exactly in agreement with this founding father.
a resident of Menlo Park: Sharon Heights

For those of you who might want to consider reading something other than the Nation I would like to pint out a great piece from Investors Business Daily. Nation readers might refer to IBD as that Iniquitous Capitalist Pig Rag. I think it is a great newspaper.
Warning what you are about to read is contrary to Obama Socialist Dogma
"The Constitution doesn't seem to be of much use to Barack Obama, either. The president who also thinks U.S. power and prestige are no longer what they were, and aren't that important anyway, recently lamented that the Founders 'designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than I would like sometimes'."
Obviously the framers failed to carve out enough power for the "I" branch of the government to suit him.
A lack of respect for the Constitution isn't peculiar to Obama. It's shared among Democrats, in particular, even Democrat-appointed Supreme Court jurists.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a Clinton appointee, said last week on Egyptian television that if she were drafting a constitution in the year 2012, she wouldn't look to ours.
She reportedly recommended the South African Constitution, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms or the European Convention on Human Rights.
These documents are awash in enumerated rights, but enumerated rights are not the gold standard. Roger Pilon, constitutional scholar at the Cato Institute (a Den of iniquity according to leftists), contends the more important characteristic of a nation's founding charter is how it limits government.
"The framers protected rights mainly by limiting power," he said.
A look at the constitutions recommended by Ginsburg reveals that some of the "rights" they secure aren't in fact natural rights at all but licenses to plunder. The "right" to food or health care can be provided only when someone else's right to the fruits of his labor or the use of his property has to be violated.
We're not ashamed to declare the U.S. Constitution a magnificent document that, along with the Declaration of Independence, forms the greatest national charter in human history.
No other document has ever guarded freedom the way it has, and no other contract has provided such a foundation for prosperity. It's not perfect, but it's as close to perfect as man has come.

"Your proposal to abolish the electoral college would benefit 17 states and be a detriment to 33 states."
On the other hand, it would result in a democratically elected president. Can't have that. It's so un-18th century.
a resident of Menlo Park: Sharon Heights
on Feb 9, 2012 at 6:55 am
That is like saying we should abolish the U.S. Senate. The U.S. Senate and the Electoral college were both created so that the larger states would not run roughshod over the smaller states. This was done to even the playing field. Our Founding Fathers had the prescience to realize that the larger states could impose their will on the smaller states unless there was a check. That is why there is equal state representation in the Senate regardless of population and is also why the number of electoral votes each state gets is equal to the number of Congressman plus Senators that State has representing it in the Nation's Capitol.
Again I pose the question: Do you believe that Vice President Biden would advocate abolishing the electoral college thus stripping Delaware of 2/3 of its voting power in presidential elections?
a resident of Portola Valley: Ladera

The Constitution was a very good document when it was written. It required crucially important amendments as soon as it came into force. That alone indicates that it must be a living document, responsive to the times. The strict constructionists would have us think in terms that the Ford Model T is perfectly good for the 21st century.
It is also very important to recognize that the people who wrote and approved the original document believed that only property owners could vote, that women were second class citizens, that slavery was acceptable. - The changes implemented in the amendments to date prove that it is a living document and must adjust to changes in society.
If the Constitution covered everything and outlined the rules for life today, we would not need the Congress to make endless changes.
The strict constructionists found that the Constitution allowed corporations to be people and that money equals speech - a very long shot, politically influenced. It does reflect the 18th century belief that the elite should govern the (ignorant) common people, which is hardly accepted today, though the plutocratic oligarchy that governs us perpetuates it.

Why are we discussing a NYT article in the Almanac?? Statements like, "The reality is that the U.S. Constitution was never liked by the editorial board of the NYT" is not helpful for discussion, relevant, or even very interesting. Suggest that if the Almanac is going to print diatribes, it limits said diatribes to subjects of local concern.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Playboy.com's Exclusive Interview with Tony Horton
We speak to Beachbody mogul Tony Horton about Paul Ryan's Congressional workout system, the key to success with P90X, and how to go after Ryan's version of the American dream.
Anyone who has ever sat in front of the television late at night, a beer in one hand, getting chip grease on the remote with the other has come across the near-ubiquitous infomercials for various Beachbody workout systems. Out of all of these, none has the cachet or the sheer pants-shittingly intimidating moves of the flagship workout, P90X.
P90X inventor Tony Horton puts his money where his mouth is. As well as sporting a ripped Beach Body of his own, he has also trained public figures, including current Republican Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan, who does a unique, until-now top secret Congressional workout. We sat down with Horton to discuss the exclusive Capitol Hill program, the key to success for the intense P90X system and what to keep in mind if you go after Ryan's version of the American dream.
Playboy.com: VP candidate Paul Ryan's use of P90X has been a media storm for you. How did this begin?
Horton: He's extremely committed to fitness and taking care of himself. He was a trainer when he was in school, so it was engrained in him from the get-go. Heath Schuler, a democrat, and he decided that they would do the program in the congressional gym, and it grew from there. Two guys from either side of the aisle, who maybe didn't agree politically, agreed that P90X was going to be the program that worked for [them]. Paul Ryan saw that the program challenged [him] in ways he had never been challenged before with Yoga and Kempo, Sequencing and Pace.
Playboy.com: What was the biggest challenge for the congressional group? Time?
Horton: I had to create a hybrid program for them [see below] because we didn't want to spend too much time on the pull-up bars and stuff like that. When you looked around the room you did see that some people were doing better than others, [laughs] but Paul Ryan rose to the challenge.
Playboy.com: How does this system differ from your other products?
Horton: You don't need weights or bands; you just need the floor, the body and Sir Isaac Newton's law. It's a complete and absolute excuse killer. This is a routine that you can do on the size of a floor mat and do anywhere from two rounds to five rounds. For the congressmen I do five rounds.
Playboy.com: So who was better at the program, the Dems or the GOP?
Horton: Ha! They were both equally awesome. What I do is apolitical. Paul Ryan is always front and center at each workout, but it really does depend on their schedules.
Playboy.com: What success rates have you seen for people who attempt P90X?
Horton: I don't know the exact stats, but a lot of folks buy the program and it sits on a shelf for quite a while before they open it up. One of my best friends in college let it sit on the shelf for four and half years before he finally got off his butt. His uncle had died of a heart attack and he was big as a house, and I was like, "Dude, somebody else is going to raise your kid." It will also sometimes take a person two, three times before they actually take the program seriously.
Playboy.com: How can professionals with unpredictable hours and rigid schedules incorporate the P90X program into their lifestyles?
Horton: People make excuses because it allows them to make shortcuts. Paul Ryan's on the campaign trail, but he's not making excuses. With a family, and running for VP, he's pretty busy but still managing to do it. You have to find the time if you want to do the things you want to do in your life. You can cut corners, and I'm not going to give you a hard time about it. But that's why I created 10-minute Trainer for people who hate exercise; some movement is better than none. We have a health crisis and a health-care crisis, and it's because people are putting stuff in their mouths but they're not moving. We can wait for Congress or the insurance companies to create some smoke and mirrors, put us on more meds, or we can take care of business and do it ourselves; that's what I did.
Playboy.com: What are the most important steps to take to maintain your "Beach Body"?
Horton: People sustain their level of fitness because their purpose is clear, their reason is clear. If [you] got into the program to change your body aesthetically — you want bigger arms or a built chest — that's all ego stuff. That's for all the wrong reasons because you're hoping people will look at you differently, as opposed to changing the body so it will function better, feel better, sleep better. It's an emotional thing, too; think of the person you are after a workout compared to before one. It's not about maintaining the shape till the end of time, but affecting who you are and allowing you to be better physically, mentally, emotionally, improving your immune system and becoming less vulnerable to illness and injury; that motivates me every day. If your purpose is clear, do Power 90 or P90X and then take that knowledge and get outside.
Pick up a P90X system yourself HERE.

|Check-in before
We really enjoyed our stay in the Amber Residence. The location was perfect for a 4-day-trip as it it very close to Oxford Street and the Tube station. The receptionists were very friendly and helpful. The only negative aspects were that it was extremely loud (much traffic, also at night) and that the toilet-flushing did not work well. However, we had a really nice time!
Perfect location in the center of London. The train station is very close to the apartment and the staff is always available to help. My friend and I stayed for four days and we really enjoyed the accomodations. Totally recommended when visiting London.
We had a wonderful time in London, our room was very tidy and well-equipped (although it was a bit different than the pictures on the site :) ). We had plenty of storage place too, and a TV (that we didn't use at all). The 5 hours of free WiFi was more than enough for the time of our stay. The 3 rooms share 1 bathroom with a shower cabin and a toilet but this never caused any problem - the bathroom was always vacant when we needed it. The staff members were incredibly nice and helpful, I'd give 10 stars for service if it was possible :) All in all, it was great, I would recommend it to everyone.
We've been in London for four nights. The stay in this studion was great. Everything we needed was there. The housekeeper was very friendly. The price was great. The day we left, we had the possibility to leave our luggage in the reception to pick it up later right before our flight.
Very well located and great value for the money! I would perphaps replace the carpet...but over all it was a nice expreience and would recommend it!
Beautiful accommodation in the centre of London, friendly and helpful hosts. We enjoyed our stay here, and would recommend it to everyone!
Everything was as promised. At first a bit hard to find. Located near Oxford Street and Primark. A small Tesco nearby. The cutlery and cookery wasn't that good, but there was a fridge and freezer. Had to share a bathroom with 3 other rooms, but it was clean. At this price a good place to stay in. The caretaker was friendly. Cleaner once a week.
Very Good Acomodations For the price.
Stayed for 5 days, had room service in the middle of the stay, clean sheets.
Was very hot time in London, very close to Baker Street Underground, Caretaker was very helpfull, and the receptionist too.
Got some free wi-fi voucher (5 hours) wich was enough, since there is Free Wireless all arround London.
Stayed at the first Floor, noise only when the windows where open so, at night when closed we didn't hear too much noise.
Made dinner once, and had plates and everythin I needed... so also ok...
Fridge is a MUST, we could put some fruits and drinks on it...
Bathroom was clean, since it was a shared bathroom we also have to take care of cleaning right? Has we do at home.
So overall It's a place was very pleasent and if I return someday to London (and i want to) it will be the first place i'll look for accomodations
Thank you for all, had a very pleasent small vacation...
We stayed at the Amber residence hotel for one week and it was very nice ! We had our own kitchen in the bedroom which was very convenient. We had to share the restroom with two other bedrooms, but it was very clean so finally it was'nt a problem. The hotel is well located between two underground stations, and there are also 3 bus stops in this street.
The hosts were very nice.
I'll recommend it !!

ROE Web Tutorials to Make Your Job Easier
This guest blog post is provided by Service Canada, which offers Canadians a single point of access to a wide range of Government of Canada programs and services either in person, by phone, by Internet, or by mail.
As we told you last year, ROE Web makes it easy to fill out employment records. Since our last blog post, we have developed some tools to make it even easier to fill out ROEs and use ROE web.
Each year, about 600,000 Canadian employers fill out more than 8 million Record of Employment (ROE) forms for their employees. Service Canada uses the information on the ROE to determine if employees are eligible to receive Employment Insurance (EI) benefits.
The guide, How to Complete the Record of Employment Form, explains in detail how to fill out an ROE to help employers and payroll staff with this process. However, while it is comprehensive, it is a very lengthy document. For this reason, five online tutorials were created to summarize some of the most commonly used sections of the guide.
While the tutorials were designed to complement the guide, they can also be used on their own as an aid to completing ROEs, whether paper or electronic. They offer a basic step-by-step walk-through of the ROE, with visual examples of the form.
By following these tips, employers can complete the ROE correctly and minimize phone calls from Service Canada agents to clarify or revise their ROE information. Fewer calls save time and money.
Block 15 – Insurable hours and earnings: Find out how to complete Blocks 15A, 15B, and 15C, where you report an employee's insurable hours and earnings.
Block 17 – Separation payments: Learn how to complete Blocks 17A, 17B, and 17C, where you report all payments or benefits to an employee other than regular pay.
Block-by-block instructions: Access descriptions and detailed information on each block of the ROE in numerical order. By reviewing this tutorial, you can get an overview of the entire process.
Mistakes to avoid: Discover helpful information on the most common errors that occur while completing the ROE. Pay close attention to these issues to avoid phone calls from Service Canada and to speed up the processing of the ROE.
Recommended order: You can save time and complete the ROE more easily if you fill out the blocks in a specific order. This tutorial provides advice on the recommended order.
You can check out these tutorials on the "Services for Employers" section of the Service Canada Web site at www.servicecanada.gc.ca/roetutorials.

Congratulations DD! Wish I had the same discipline to "get er done". Still readding up the bedrooms--my fault for having a WIP on each of the beds!
Congrats DD! Sometimes it's good to be jealous :D
Here's my FWS, just attached the next row.

This is the surprise block QuiltE sent me. I love it and I'm going to use it for Isa's quilt.
Attachment 403917
First I'll show you what was in my mailbox yesterday!!!!!!!!
.............. then I'll go back and read what I have missed the last couple of days! :D
Thank you JanieW!!!! ... what a perfectly beautiful block ... and yes, it totally fits the idea of what I was looking for when I put forth my MB request list! Right down to remembering to sign your work! :) You were probably wondering why I had not posted about it ... my road is closed, so haven't been going to the post office on a regular basis, as with the closure, it's a long way around on muddy roads (even though we have lots of snow still!). I never dreamed I'd have a MB so fast, and thinking it'd only be bills, I'd been putting the trek off til I was somewhat near the post office. Yesterday on the way home was the day ... now I feel so bad that I missed out on it!
And what might be the name of this block?? ... I see it as a Broken Churn Dash, but I'm sure it has a proper name!!!
Thanks SO MUCH JanieW!!!! ... seems like a breath of Spring air. Perhaps a chinook coming down from the west?
Attachment 403937
Hello All!
Had a good couple of days away. Before checking into the hotel on Friday night, I managed to get to Fabricland (somewhat like your Joanne's, I think). Meeting Saturday ... then on the way home to an antique warehouse, new-to-me LQS and the infamous Len's where you can get pretty much everything except the proverbial kitchen sink ... including fabric! Len's carries current quality fabrics, as well as "cheap" cottons, plus lots of other upholsteries, vinyls etc. Being a Jobber they also bring in odd lots that might be old fabrics or short runs or partial lines. I've even bought "Joanne" labelled fabrics. My mission was to look for the fabric I am using for the border and backing of my Out to Pasture ... have enough, but it was going to be so tight, that I would have to make my border a little narrower than I'd prefer, and be sure not to make one cut wrong. Amazingly! they had it ....... a 2007 fabric! And on sale.
Regular Price less 30% (they're marking down the older fabrics)
then because it was green, in honour of St. Paddy's, another 20%
then because I had an online discount coupon for all purchases ... another 15% off!
And then because I had a 20% off coupon for any olfa rulers, blades or rotary cutters, I treated myself to the 16-1/2" square as well as a 6-1/2" ......... and remember, another 15% off!
Gifts from me-to-me are the best ... guess I'll call it my Birthday Present, being that I didn't treat myself then!!! :)
Not to bore you any longer ... I'll get back to reading the massive catch up! :)
First of all ... To Answer Everyone's Confusion ...Being that Anael was not part of the MB I figured a SB would be give her some fun! :) And as for QNSue's $'s, I owed her for some fabric she purchased for me and the shipping. I decided on a different colour scheme for the block in my PC, so being that a lot of my extra patterns came from QNSue, I figured, she should have the other one.
Anael ... oh how wonderful that you got your Surprise Block ... I'm glad it fits with Isa's and Bram's quilt(s)! SO SWEET .... The SewGrands together at last!!!!!!!!! NINE WEEKS OLD!!!!!!!! :D
MiraB ... You're really power-quilted on those butterflies!! :D The FF fabric will really give the quilt a sparkle of it's own. As for the new sewing machine ... you sneak! Your DH was home since, so you waited ... and love the timing along with his new fishing equipment discussion!! Schemer! :)
MiraB and OKSGlad ... I'll gladly provide a home for a Sewing Elf. Though all that seems to be here is a Messy Gremlin, who messes things up on me!
OKSGlad ... you brought back memories of my Mother reminding us of how good we had it, thanks to the cows! When I was in High School, most of my friends were town kids ... and I got reminded that we had a lot more of the "conveniences" than many of them ... and when I visited some of their homes I duly took note, and said some Thank Yous. Life sometimes seems hard as a farm kid, but when the reality strikes, we realize how good we have it! And how many kids have as many hours per day access to their parents (and in your case Grands) ... as the farm kids do! Or for a parent to be as available for their school and extra-curricular events. Farming is pretty good stuff! :) Looks like a FULL house of family at the OK Corral for Easter weekend. How wonderful!
JanRN ... looks like another successful FART! No need for you to check out the TinLizzie ... you already have a good machin! Awww ... show us the fabrics NOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! puhleeeeeeeeeeeeease?
JeanieG ... Looking forward to some pics soooooooon! When I had my Fusions out to make more sashings, I was thinking of yours with the blue.... cousin quilts! :D
QNSue ... glad your block got to you. The $ was for the fabric you purchased for me and of course, the shipping! I know you were a couple blocks short for the PC, so perhaps this one will fit in? Besides, it was from your patterns! :)
DDamsel ... wheeeeeeeeeee! you have your PC blocks done! Glad the nudge helped (competitive much?:)) And better than me, being that I did not do all 90 in the pattern. (I know, I did the extra non-pattern blocks!) Now show us a photo!!!!!!!! :) Got your lace yet?
GGal and QNSue ... wow! look at those pineapples! Which one is the pattern you sent us as one has more layers than the other? Love the colours in both.
JanRN and CarrieM ... spectacular block! I loved that block when I did it in the FWS (or similar one) ... the fabrics are perfect for the 3D look.
JeanieG and JanRN ... amazing colours! Do you see the Northern Lights in the "south"? Or just something for we Canucks to enjoy? :D
Anymore block arrivals?
And now, I'd better get a-moving and get some stitchin' done! :)
My March MBs and their Lil Sister's ....
Attachment 403959
Mr and Mrs Farmer ... QNSue's is the yellow background. Mine is the blue. The blue will be my backing.
Attachment 403960
Sorry, Quilte, that attachment is not working. The block is one my dh and I will treasure.
Try again here ... they were both online when I first posted and checked.
And now ... poof! What gives?
Attachment 404016
Attachment 404017
Hope that the two photos "stick" this time!
QNSue ... Glad that you and your DH liked it.
MrQNSue ... I think it's time that you show us some of your PP work!
They did post this time, QuiltE....just as I got mine all set to post:Attachment 404028 "Thee" first pineapple sent to GG, the second one had the center square not on point. Attachment 404029Farmer and his wife (will add a 47th anniversary on the block) will be put into the quilt of BBs and Mystery Blocks for my bed. Shall not tell anyne he waars his kilt (skirt) and I wear the (jeans) pants!! LOL!! 2nd dd says I always have!! Little does she know us!!

Movie Review: Dallas Buyers Club

Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto play unlikely allies in this fact-based movie

Director: Jean-Marc Vallée
Rating: R
Studio: Truth Entertainment / Voltage Pictures
Stars: Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Jared Leto
When Matthew McConaughey made his much-hyped movie debut back in the '90s, he was all bronze, swagger and chiseled torso, a good ole boy with cock-of-the-walk charm and druggy eyes. Then came some big-screen letdowns, his eyebrow-raising stark naked bongo-playing marijuana bust and his descent into vapid rom-coms and nasty punch lines. But revenge must be freaking sweet, because his recent renaissance in such movies as Magic Mike, Killer Joe and Mud is among the bigger and more satisfying astonishments of contemporary Hollywood.
With his latest movie, Dallas Buyers Club, McConaughey, now 44, surpasses himself. The fact-based movie, directed by Jean-Marc Vallée (The Young Victoria) from a screenplay by Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack about a highly unlikely '80s AIDS activist, gives McConaughey the role of a swaggering, loudmouthed, quick-tempered Texas dumb-ass bigot, a rodeo circuit big wheel and compulsive ladies' man who is stunned when doctors hand him a diagnosis of HIV in 1985. Shunned by his macho friends but thumbing his nose at doctors' predictions that he'll be dead in weeks, he decides to make money by setting himself up in a sleazy motel as a source for others suffering from the deadly virus desperate for non FDA–approved AIDS drugs he obtains from Mexico. In the hospital, he meets a charming cross-dressing ally (Jared Leto, in a killer performance) who goes into business with him in this Dallas Buyers Club as his go-between with gays and other outlaws.
Their unlikely, prickly relationship is the heartbeat of a sad, powerful movie that is essentially about people fighting for their lives when the medical community was struggling to find answers and the obstructionist drug companies and the government shrugged their collective shoulders, dragged their heels and simply let people die. The film is unsentimental and the unforgettable, award-worthy performances of McConaughey and Leto are among the very best of a very good year.

Starting Position: Stand directly in a square at one end of the ladder with your feet approximately hip-width apart.
Bend your hips and knees, lowering into an athletic stance with your chest directly over your toes. Your arms should be bent, keeping the elbows at approximately ninety degrees to ensure that the swinging is coming from the shoulder joint and not from the elbows.
Shift your bodyweight into the left leg. Pick up the right foot and place it in the square next to and right of the starting square. Shift your body to the right and into the next square of the ladder.
Your right foot should hit the ground at the ball of the foot and roll all the way down to the heel. Once the right foot is planted, shift your body weight off of the left leg and place your weight on the right leg. Pick up your left foot to bring it into the same square as the right foot. Keep your hips and knees bent so that you maintain an athletic ready position throughout the length of the entire ladder.
Continue to move down the ladder to your right, keeping your bodyweight on the left leg while picking up the right foot and pushing off with the left foot shifting your bodyweight over the right leg as you move through the ladder. Be sure to move both ways through the ladder. Once you've done a certain number of repetitions to the right, be sure to switch directions and do the same number of repetitions moving to your left (pushing off of the right foot). Exercise Variation: As you improve your movement skills, dynamic balance and ability to move rapidly through the ladder, try not to look at your feet and keep your eyes on the horizon (where your opponents will be during an athletic competition).


text: I live in Washington State and I have just put up a colony of Mason Bees...a whopping 10 cocoons!! I have always wanted to have honey bees but thought I would start somewhere a bit easier. I would love to have any one's opinion on city/neighborhood keeping. People here in Seattle 'rent' out hives. It's not TOO city where I live! I hope to hear from someone! Maybe some advice about my little mason beauties? Thanks so much!


text: Apparently the Fiat 500 has a feature that nearly disables the engine when the brake and accelerator are depressed at the same time on automatic transmission models. I found this out when I was riding with a friend that owns one. He had to stop, turn the engine off and on again to reset this condition. I mentioned to him that if he used his right foot only to brake and accelerate then he would not have to worry about it. This begs the question as to how many people out there are left foot brakers. I personally don't know how ANYONE could get into this habit at all. I learned to drive using a manual transmission, so the left foot was clutch only. When I started buying automatic transmission cars, the left foot is just along for the ride.

Lead levels in Eilers neighborhood exceed federal standard
PUEBLO, Colo. - The soil in Pueblo's Eilers neighborhood contains lead levels that are higher than the federal government's safety benchmark, according to a Colorado State University-Pueblo professor.
Moussa Diawara, a biology professor, shared his findings with City Council on Monday. Lead levels in Eilers are four times higher than in other parts of Pueblo, according to Diawara. He tested 13 homes in Eilers for lead- five had high levels in the soil. Elsewhere in the city, he tested 18 homes- none of them had high lead levels.
"Being in the Eilers increases the chances of exposure to lead," Diawara said.
City Council member Chris Nicoll asked Diawara for his recommendation about cleaning up the area. Diawara, however, said it wasn't his job to offer one, though he said there was reason for concern.
Those who live in the Eilers neighborhood have mixed feelings about allowing the Environmental Protection Agency to declare it a Superfund site.
"I just think they're creating an issue just to get whatever they want done here," said Helen Davis, who's lived in the neighborhood for 87 years.
Meanwhile, John Wilson welcomes the idea. "It's not going to take away from the property value. I think if anything it's going to increase property value," he said.
City Council hasn't decided what it's going to do. The Council is waiting on results from tests conducted by the EPA in August.


text: Can anyone advise on a battery drain overnight-2002 Chev Silverado 1500 LT symptoms: Towhaul button coming on by itself-everything turned off at night-morning-tow haul on-battery drained. 1) BCM has been reprogrammed at dealer-I replaced the BCM with a used one after first dealer recommended a new BCM because old one was 'sticking'. 2) Problem of towhaul coming on reappeared after two days of trouble free operation 3) Checked wiring from shifter switch-orange wire is tow haul circuit wire-will expose column today to check connection again 4) Tow haul is wired into BCM control so I don't think I can pull its fuse independently I suspect grounding problem somewhere in steering column or under dash-a kelsey trailer light and brake control was installed so I cut power to it just as an experiment-BCM is turning on towhaul on its own so I doubt it is the trailer lights circuit but I'm open to any advice. Anyone have similar issues? The battery drain was investigated now at one licensed shop and two dealers shops-I have the job now to fix this and its a bit humbling that a dealer spent 6 hours and didn't use a scanner tool immediately-they repeated the licensed shops steps checking charging circuit etc. There was a GM service bulletin pointing to BCM reprogramming for 2002 Silverado battery draining symptoms-this has been done. Thank you Kevin

FAMILY STORIES | Whistler in the Dark closes its fifth season with Serbian playwright Biljana Srbljanovic's 1998 work, which uses a quartet of adult actors playing children playing house to paint a grotesque Punch & Judy portrait of trickle-down, war-numbed life under corrupt, nationalist dictator Slobodan Milosevic. The play, which got its North American premiere from Cambridge's short-lived Market Theatre back in 2002, is episodic and somewhat repetitive, and the attempt to override cruel comedy with tragedy at the end feels forced. But like its harsh, adult-mocking pubescents playing Donna Reed on a dung heap, Family Stories packs a punch. Meg Taintor directs; Melissa Barker, Danny Bryck, Nate Gundy, and Jen O'Connor are in the cast. | Factory Theatre, 791 Tremont St, Boston | May 14-30 | Curtain 7:30 pm Wed-Thurs | 8 pm Fri-Sat | 3 pm Sun | $20; $10 students

Very nice and big apartment. It is relatively central, only about 30 minutes walk to Karlsbrücke. The landlord Jan helped us a lot, accompanied us to the parking lot and gave many tips to Prague. Gladly again.
We had 4 wonderfull days in Prague and stayed in the appartment. Jan was verry helpfull and told us everything we need to know, when we arrived. His appartment is just about the center and everything is on walking distance or just 100m to the tramstop, 2 stops and you are in the old town.
We enjoyed our stay at Jan's. Every morning his father brought bread.
Thank you Jan it was a verry pleasant time to stay at your appartment. BR Arne

We enjoyed our stay at Jan's. Every morning his father brought bread.
Thanx Jan it was a verry pleasant time to stay at your appartment and I can recommended to your all guys.

Everything was just great. Jan's tips were very helpful and the roll service was a wonderful extra.

Very nice host. The spacious and clean apartment located almost in the center of Prague. Close to the tram stop. And the fresh bread every morning from Jan is the bigest +. That was a pleasure to stay in his apartment. Greetings from Poland
The apartment is clean and gives good value for the money, close to the center, vriety of options for food closeby and the most friendly and caring host Jan, who will make you feel very welcome in Prague.
Jan is very nice and ready to your disposal. He takes care for his guests. Appartment is very comfortable, it is good for sleeping, also it had good connection with center of the town and it is situated very close to center. I advise Jan's appartment to everybody. Thank you Jan. Giosue
This place was ideal for our stay. The apartment is spacious well equipped and very clean. Our host Jan was very helpful with information about Prague. We had fresh bread rolls delivered each morning. For exploring Prague you couldn't have a better place. It is 2 minutes from a tram stop. The local restaurants are good. The WiFi is good and free in the apartment.
For a weekend in Prague for 4 of us it was perfect.... away from the busy noisy centre, yet close enough for sightseeing.
We had an awesome time in this apartment. We were 7 people, but the apartment wasn't too small in any way. It is very clean and the kitchen is fully equipped. Jan is a super friendly host and gave us tips on how to explore Prague. He even brought us bread to our door every morning! We've had a worry-free time in Prague. Thank you Jan!

Mirror Pond group to declare preference for dam's fate
Decision planned at next meeting; dam's ultimate fate still up in air
BEND, Ore. - Will the dam stay or go?
It's an issue that's been swirling around Mirror Pond for months, some would say years.
But Wednesday night the Mirror Pond ad hoc committee decided it will announce its preference to keep the dam or get rid of it, at its next meeting, just three weeks away.
The announcement follows several rounds of public hearings and comments, four possible options, and discussions with Pacific Power, the owner of the dam holding back the water in Mirror Pond.
Both Pacific Power officials and the Mirror Pond committee members have been telling each other for months that they can't move forward without knowing what the other wants to do about the dam.
Options include leaving the pond alone to continue filling with silt, dredging it, removing the dam and allowing a free-flowing river, or doing a partial dredging.
Now, the Mirror Pond committee will make the first move, bringing forward a possible solution to Pacific Power.
Bend Park and Rec Board Executive Director Don Horton said the committee's preference for the dam doesn't mean the group will ultimately decide the dam's fate.
"If what we strive to do is doable or not, is still yet to be told," Horton said. "There's a lot of issues surrounding the dam and the condition of the dam, that it may not be able to be preserved, but what I think will come out of the group (meeting) is whether or not we want to try."
Horton said he thinks the decision on the dam will then allow the committee to go back to the drawing board and create a solution that pleases the most people.
He said that could even mean coming up with a new option altogether to shape the area.
Bend City Councilor Victor Chudowsky told NewsChannel 21 he's ready to get the ball rolling on the project.
"I'm very frustrated, because I know we've been arguing now about Mirror Pond for eight years," Chudowsky said. "And I think things are coming to a head now because of the leak in the dam. It's really becoming decision time."
Mirror Pond Project Leader Jim Figurski said issues of water rights, landownership and the life of the dam are questions still being worked out.
As far as the life of the dam, Pacific Power officials told Bend City Councilor Mark Capell in an earlier meeting that they're still reviewing results from a dam inspection a couple of weeks ago.
Pacific Power officials told NewsChannel 21 at the time of inspection that they expect to release their findings about the dam in December.
Figurski said the land under the pond belongs to the McKay Family Trust.
"They're committed to Bend," he said. "They want to see the right thing happen."
However, Figurski said the family is concerned about liability with soil testing, but is on board with deferring to committee decisions.
Figurski said he doesn't anticipate any lawsuits from the McKay family.
At the meeting, members also selected three Bend citizens to join the committee.
The next Mirror Pond ad hoc committee is on Monday, December 2nd from 3 to 5p.m. at the Bend Park and Rec building.
Figurski said he doesn't expect any final decisions on the pond's fate until after the new year.

Picked up some old equipment yesterday. There were two items that I was unfamiliar with.
First, there were two very large boxes made of thick walls. The interior looked standard size but the thick (at least an inch or more) walls made them larger. The covers were like sleeves that fit all the way around them, including down the sides. The tin roof was nailed on top. Any ideas? Are these old fashioned hives....transport hives?
The second item was a bunch of what looked like divider boards. They're very thin and fit perfectly on the frame rests. However, each divider board has a slot along the top. Bees can easily move between the boards due to the slot. Am I missing something or aren't typical divider boards made so that bees are confined to a certain area.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

[quote user="BlueSanta"][quote user="nycsportzfan"]
Say Bradshaw is dinged up this yr, and we don't get much behind David Wilson, is there any chance we go RB again in a early rd next season?
If so, could we add a speed back like kenjon barner in say rd 2or3? A david wilson/kenjon barner RB duo could be pretty intersting... Cierre Wood is another back who would be outstanding duo with David Wilson.. Cierre Wood is no joke.. I've watched pretty much every game hes played, and hes tremendous, and really coming along...
I hope not. You know I love Wilson, but taking high rb 2 straight years would be a huge risk. I do think Bradshaw is nearing the end of his rope and we need another guy to step up, but I hope we dont have to spend a high pick on that guy. I would like to see us get a year or 2 more out of Bradshaw and hope his mentality rubs off on our youngsters. I know it is blaspheme around here to say this, but I actually am not sold on Da'rel Scott. I hope he proves me wrong. I think people saw a couple speed plays out of him in the preseason last year, in the final minutes of games where his opponents were mostly guys who are not in the NFL anymore. I think he has a fumble problem too, and people assume that because TC helped fix Tiki, the same will happen with Scott. I admit it is a possibility but do not see that as a given.
My hope is that Wilson and Bradshaw can provide enough production and stability to the position for enough time for us to find a mid/late round guy in the next couple years to eventually replace AB.
[/quote] ya but david wilson had a fumbling problem in college as well..Again, same theory, people think because coughlin fixed tiki's problem, that he'll fix Wilson's.. I like Scott because of his versatility and ability to return kicks, and hes even been tried at WR while at maryland, so i'm sure he picked up a few things.. Darius Heyward Bey has been quoted as saying " on paper it might say i'm faster, but Scott is a diffrent kinda animal"... That type of blazing speed in a 210lb body that can also return kicks could be very useful as a 2nd or 3rd RB and possibly 1st if he really takes to the coaching he recieves.. I actually really like Da'rel Scott, more so for his upside then anything else... I realize he could very well never make a dent on playing time, but i also realize he has enough speed and ability to possibly crack the rotation or even more..
As far as picking a RB early again, i agree, it woulden't be a ideal situation, but i'm talking about if Bradshaw is hurt again on and off.. If that is the case, and no one steps up including Da'rel Scott, then i wonder if we go RB in a early-ish rd.. I'm not nessecarily meaning the first or 2nd rd, but maybe 3rd or something like that.. Similar to what the 9ers did adding Lamichael James in RD 2 as a all around dual threat playmaker, despite having Gore, Hunter, Jacobs, and Dixon all ready on board..
