Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS11748588
Sold individually.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, KENMORE®, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
Using kit 285587 was straight forward. Removed fabric softener dispenser & sealing cap. It took more time to find the socket set (needed a 7/16 socket) with a long driver (10 inch) than to unscrew & remove the auger & agitator.Cleaned up the bowl whilst it was apart (good buildup of junk under the agitator). Replaced agitator, new thrust washer to find that grease should be applied but isn't included in kit (get part not 350849). Grrr.... Applied new auger, cam, dogs and holder. (No instructions in kit for assembling cam, dogs & holder, but you can work it out ok). Applied new bolt & washer, new seal on cap. Installed fabric softener. Could have been a 15 minute job but peace and quiet in the garage makes it worthy of taking longer ;-)

There isn't a big difference b/w the 2. Except the real ones get paid more to blow calls. We can be thankful for playing the browns. Otherwise it could have been different.
There isn't a big difference b/w the 2. Except the real ones get paid more to blow calls. We can be thankful for playing the browns. Otherwise it could have been different.
These refs are terrible. They were terrible last year and they aren't getting any better. And it seems like its always against us.
There is definately a big change, however i knew the old refs would still miss a lot of calls. But trust me, if the replacement guys were out there, we wouldnt have gotten any pass interference calls early on. im at least thankful for those
There were some bad calls in this game like the non-chop block penalty on bradshaw or the no PI call on a double arm bar that caused Victor Cruz to lose the ball for the INT. In the end, the win was there and that's what matters.
It isn't even close - these guys are ten times better - yes they missed two PI's one led to a pick - but the replacements were terrifying - gmen lucky they never blew too much in our games, but don't make that competency a league wide thing - cause it was not.
yup, gotta looke to the bright side. The replacement refs might have given Weeden that TD pass after he caught his own first pass off a deflection. lol
Just look at that blown call in the SB in a big spot on wilford that the refs had to ask if he made a mistake and then laughed about it. WTF are you throwing a flag if you arent certain? Though you have too actually see it occur to throw it, not assume it.
Sorry if you really think the replacement refs are better your just not seeing the game.
Did you see the NFL show this past week with the replacement refs? Very good spot if you haven't seen it. A couple things they said was very surprising/shocking.

We had a very nice time in Rome, in Simon and Francesca's appartement. The next Metro station "Cornelia" is easily achievable by foot (ca. 8 minutes), from there the city center is easily achievable, too. The kitchen is fully equipped. A supermarket is right around the corner. Towels were provided for us.
Very nice apartment! The cost-value ratio is ok! But if you don't like dogs, it's not the proper neighborhood!
We stayed in Rome for four nights and we couldn't be happier for chosing Simone and Francesca apparment. You need to have the adress clear in your mind because it is in a very small street, but once you arrive all become better, the appartment is clean, nice, and with everthing that you could need.
It is very well conected with Vatican and City centre by bus and by metro.
Simone welcome us and he had prepared everything not only for the apparment but our city experience too. He was a very nice host!
We really recommend it, thank you for all Simone and Francesca!!
We had a great time in the appartment. Rome is a beautiful city and the appartment is located near public transport, so easily attainable.
Appartment is nice and decent, provides everything you need.
There is a nice restaurant just around the corner, so after a long day you can still go out and have a nice meal without having to travel all the way back.
Certainly a recommendation!
Great place for the money - apartment is very nice and clean, furniture looks fairly new. Generally, apartment appearance is very close to what you can see on the photos - considering my experience it was big surprise. The AC is a bit noisy, but it helps to survive the mid day heat after hours of sightseeing in full sun ;) - there is a very decent restaurant just a few meters away, and some markets around Cornelia station. We had just a few days stay but there is everything you need for longer vacations, like for example washing machine - 100% recommend.
The apartment is really nice and cosy. It's only a short walk from the metro-station "Cornelia", from where you can reach all the important places. Even nearer to the apartment is a bus station.
It's smaller than 87 sq m, but for 3 or 4 people it's perfect. The bedroom is very nice and the bed is very comfortable. The kitchen ist well stuffed, there are even a few spices, such as salt and pepper, olive oil an vinegar, so that you don't have to buy everything for a simple meal. There's also a toaster and an italian coffee maker. The bathroom is also very nice and the hair dryer has really power.The couch in the living room is not as comfortable as the bed, but for a child, it was okay.
We didn't meet Simone and Francesca, so that we didn't get tour trips first hand, but there's a folder with all the important informations.
Just around the corner is a good restaurant and at the metro-station there's a "Simply"-supermarket. The walls are not soundproof, but all in all it's a rather quiet quarter.
We would recommend the apartment for a nice stay in Rome.

Less than a month after his re-election, President Obama has delivered a slap in the face to many of the Silicon Valley firms like Apple, Google, Adobe and Microsoft, who gave hefty financial support to his campaign. The White House announced yesterday that Obama is opposing the STEM Act of 2012, which is set for a House vote on Friday. This act would make as many as 55,000 visas available to foreigners who have earned a masters or doctoral degree in science or tech from a U.S. university. SiliconANGLE Founding Editor Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins described it as " . . . a bill tailor-made for boosting the tech sector in Silicon Valley and . . . designed to help the tech sector find highly educated workers that have come to our colleges."
Hopkins could only speculate as to Obama's change of heart. "I would have to guess it's something political; there's some sort of compromise going on behind the scenes." Hopkins said with so many fiscal issues coming to a head soon, the STEM Act is just going to be one of many sacrifices made at the altar. Hopkins believed that the bill will have a hard time making it through the House unaltered, but that it would have an easier time in the Senate. In Hopkins' opinion, Silicon Valley is typically ignored, and thus he has his doubts that the bill will survive.
Feledy re-visited the discussion she had with Hopkins post-election about Obama's tech agenda. In that interview, Hopkins had mentioned the possibility of the FTC bringing up anti-trust hearings regarding Google. According to a Bloomberg report, Google CEO Larry Page met with FTC representatives yesterday to participate in settlement talks in an effort to avoid potential litigation. There are multiple issues being addressed in these discussions, but the one that was in the hot seat for the past few years is finally starting to cool down, and that's the one of search monopoly. This refers to the accusations that Google promotes its own results over third party services in its search feature. The primary issue now is privacy violations, in terms of how much Google can track, how much should be legal for Google to track, and how much access should Google give to the random web surfer, all of which, Hopkins said, are moot points because it's very easy to remove yourself from Google's tracking.
Overall, Hopkins feels that Google will make any concessions necessary that will allow them to continue to be one company and preserve their position in the industry. See the entire segment with Kristin Feledy and Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins on the Morning NewsDesk Show.

The Beizer family left their home on 29 Rue de la Montagne (Mountain Road) on May 11, 1940. In a newspaper article about their journey (see "Beizer Journey Part 8: Lisbon" to read the article) Esther said the family decided to leave after the Germans began bombing Brussels. However before all this, the Beizer family had a comfortable and busy life. Mechel was a world-class jeweler and one of his crowning achievements was making the crown for the King of Romania. In the video clip "Life in Brussels Before the War," Boris describes his memory of the man who would light the gas lamps on the street each night, and how the family would take annual biking vacations to the beaches near Ostend on the North Sea Coast of Belgium.
The family had been already packed up to leave by bicycle for their annual vacation in Ostend. However instead of leaving for this vacation to Northern Belgium, they set out to France to leave their home for good. In the video clip "Leaving Brussels," Boris talks about the events leading up to the family's decision to leave Brussels.
In the 1970's on a trip to Israel Boris decided to stop in Belgium and visit his old home and the street he grew up on. He was saddened to see a large part of the street had been turned into an ugly parking garage. However he decided to return in the 1980's and was shocked to see the street had been reconstructed and the buildings had been rebuilt in ways replicating the pre-War structures.
Many members of the Beizer family have not returned to the places on their journey's route. Boris said Margot did not want to return to any of them because she felt it would have been too painful.
Thanks for sharing this Elijah. We're looking forward to being part of your journey later this week. big hugs from all of us

Official: Man who assaulted mother sentenced for armed robbery
BEAUFORT, CARTERET COUNTY - A Carteret County man pleaded guilty Thursday to an armed robbery that began after he assaulted his mother and stole her gun, an official said.
According to District Attorney Scott Thomas, 47-year-old Gregory Duane Anderson, of Newport, was ordered to spend between four years and 10 months to six years and seven months in prison. The sentencing took place Thursday at the Carteret County Courthouse in Beaufort.
Prosecutors said Anderson pushed his mother down a flight of stairs on Sept. 20, 2011 because she had refused to give him prescribed medication. Anderson then stole his mother's medicine and her pistol, before heading to Jones County, investigators said.
On his way to Jones County, Anderson stopped by the town of Stella and stole a beer and glass tube from Pap's Grill, according to prosecutors. When a clerk tried to stop him, Anderson pulled his pistol on her and drove away.
Once Anderson crossed into Jones County, officers began chasing after him, investigators said. The pursuit ended when Anderson crashed into a deputy's cruiser on Catfish Lake Road.
Before pleading guilty Thursday to one count of robbery with a dangerous weapon, Anderson was already convicted in Jones County of fleeing to elude arrest and possession of a stolen firearm. He was sentenced to between 22 to 27 months in prison for the Jone County charges.

Bacon, Kale & Tomato Salad with Rye Croutons
Serving Size: 2
Kale is more interesting, flavorful and filling than a lot of lettuces that fill the store shelves. And frankly, since we started buying it we are eating a lot more salads.
- Toss the rye bread cubes with salt, pepper and olive oil and toast in a toaster oven or in a regular at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes. Keep a close eye on them – just like any other form of toast, they can go from "almost there" to burned in a matter of minutes.
- Cut the bacon into 1/2-inch pieces and fry in a skillet. When the bacon is about halfway done, toss in the red onion. When both are cooked, toss the bacon and red onions in a bowl with the kale, but reserve the bacon drippings and allow to cool. In a small bowl, measure 2 Tbsp. of the bacon drippings and add in the apple cider vinegar. Whisk to combine, then toss into the kale, bacon and onions, adding the tomatoes and feta. Plate, then top with the croutons and additional black pepper if you like.

- ARSC Storage Upgrade
- Batch Scripting Essentials 1 : Job Chaining
- SC2002 Review
- ARSC Web Site Changes
- Quick Tip
ARSC Storage Upgrade
ARSC will soon be transitioning from maintaining permanent storage on the Crays to twin Sun storage servers. One of the Suns will be dedicated to serving DoD-sensitive data to the HPCMP resources (machines requiring NACs) and the other will serve ARSC-sensitive data to systems not requiring NACs.
Watch for more announcements and details soon.
Batch Scripting Essentials 1 : Job Chaining
[Thanks to Jeff McAllister of ARSC]
The motivation for this article and several following is the upcoming storage upgrade at ARSC. This will move us from a relatively simple mode of getting work done in the direction the rest of the world is going -- where everyone has to be storage aware. These concepts are part of supercomputing everywhere.
With storage "abstracted" away from individual systems (i.e., where data is stored is not where results are computed), getting work done involves at least two extra steps:
- copy required files (executables, inputs) from long-term storage to workspace local to the machine
- run the job
- copy outputs to long-term storage
Thus any job runnable with one script should become a multi-step job if transfer times are more than a few seconds. Of course any work that can be set up as steps, such as jobs which write restart files so the next step can pick up where the last left off, could benefit from this type of automation.
The easiest, most portable way to do multistep work is by chaining jobs together. "Chaining" occurs when
Step A executes step B Step B executes step Cand so on. (For a detailed discussion of chaining on the T3E, see issue #176: /arsc/support/news/t3enews/t3enews176/index.xml ). Many cases of runaway recursive submissions have shown that it's best to create scripts which explicitly submit the next step in the chain.
I've written a batch queueing script generator, "scriptgen," to facilitate the creation of chaining scripts. Since it's a lot of Perl and will be updated when the ARSC storage upgrade comes on line, the code isn't included in this newsletter, but can be copied from:
scriptgen detects which system you are running it from (currently chilkoot, yukon, icehawk, iceflyer) and creates an output file with the minimum instructions necessary for a batch script on that system. You may use it as a starting point, or as is.
Required/optional parameters:
iceflyer 8% ./scriptgen usage: scriptgen stepfile ntasks extime executable [nextstep] [msize] stepfile the name of the batch script the scriptgen will generate ntasks number of processors (number of nodes on icehawk) extime execution time limit, can be any time format acceptable on target system (i.e. '1800' or '00:30:00') executable program to run (./a.out) nextstep if included, script will add system-specific command to submit a script by this name -- if not included execution ends when stepfile finishes msize SV1 only -- memory allocation required
Some examples:
This creates the UNICOS/mk qsub batch script "stepA." This will run on two processors with a time limit of 3 minutes and execute ./a.out. "stepA" submits the follow-on script "stepB," and ensures (via qalter) that other user's jobs will get a chance to start between the steps:
yukon 45% ./scriptgen stepA 2 180 ./a.out stepB yukon 46% cat stepA #!/bin/ksh #QSUB -q mpp #QSUB -l mpp_p=2 #QSUB -l mpp_t=180 #QSUB -o stepA.out #QSUB -e stepA.err cd $QSUB_WORKDIR mpprun -n 2 ./a.out qalter -l mpp_p=0 qsub stepA.tmp sleep 20 qsub stepB
The following creates the sequence of scripts, "stepA" - "stepD" on chilkoot, where scriptgen requires an extra parameter for memory size. It then submits "stepA," and thus the entire chain, for execution.
chilkoot 253% ./scriptgen stepA 6 1800 ./a.out stepB 16MW chilkoot 254% ./scriptgen stepB 6 1800 ./a.out stepC 16MW chilkoot 255% ./scriptgen stepC 6 1800 ./a.out stepD 16MW chilkoot 256% ./scriptgen stepD 6 1800 ./a.out "" 16MW chilkoot 257% qsub stepA
Chaining can also be helpful when you're getting ready to leave on vacation and don't want to leave pages and pages of jobs queued.
In the next article I'll expand more on the concepts of storage abstraction and file staging as well as make scriptgen a little more sophisticated to help automate this.
Many thanks to Harper Simmons for providing the original icehawk version of scriptgen.
SC2002 Review
We like to print some observations about relevant conferences, for the benefit of the those who didn't get to go. SC2002 was held in Baltimore last month, and we have these notes from Guy Robinson and Jeff McAllister of ARSC:
Guy Robinson:
As usual, SC was a hectic time for all involved. What were the key points which attracted my attention?
The Earth Simulator was a great topic of conversation. Many papers and two panels spent a lot of time talking about why it was a success and what lessons could be learnt from the project. The statement that "with this system we get to concentrate on the science" was made by several users.
The GRID is coming of age. People are coming up with projects and success stories. There was a single day seminar on the Monday, Grid Computing-GRID2002 which can be found online at:
"What makes a supercomputer" is always an interesting questions to address at Supercomputing. Is it fast processors, fast interconnects, an easy programming language, the necessary skills, plenty of storage? I think the answer really is a mixture of all these. The variety of technologies on show demonstrates how exciting and dynamic our field is. All papers from SC are online, and clearly demonstrate this variety:
Jeff McAllister:
SC2002 was amazing. There were so many cool things it's hard to know where to start. Being able to wander the booths and talk to people during the tutorials, BOFs, and panels allowed a much richer level of synergy and serendipity than I could have ever found just reading or attending a meeting on a more focused issue.
Some highlights:
Hardware always seems to dominate anything related to supercomputing, but software is at least getting some interest. The common component architecture ( http://www.cca-forum.org ) is an intriguing approach to supporting complex application development, though I think it needs more work before it can take off and reach a the critical mass required for many developers to supply and use this style of reusable components.
I hope to do more with PAPI (performance API, http://icl.cs.utk.edu/papi/ ) and TAU (tuning and analysis utilities, http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/research/paracomp/tau ) -- these both seem to be maturing towards the goal of providing a standardized, meaningful way to compare performance.
Clusters are getting easier to manage. Many of the initial time-consuming ramifications of working with lots of nodes not specially designed to work together have been dealt with by the large community working with these problems. (Some say that clusters have actually become easier to set up and customize than designer systems!) OSCAR and Scyld seemed the most popular open-source approaches. Unlimited Scale, partnered with HP, has many ex-Cray employees including big names from the T3E days -- their goal is to produce the software infrastructure to make a T3E-like system out of commodity parts where the hardware can be upgraded every few years to keep up with Moore's law at a minimum cost while still retaining high usability and maintainability.
Myrinet and Quadrics together provide the interconnects for what is approaching 40% of the top 500 list. Three of the top five use interconnects which while not cheap could be installed in any cluster. Infiniband still needs some work, but promises to be a lower cost, higher bandwidth, and lower latency solution. Ohio Supercomputer Center showed off some promising infiniband benchmarks (approaching 1GB/sec MPI bandwidth). Since floating point performance and memory sizes are already quite comparable between commodity and designer systems, interconnects and latencies are just about the only thing left differentiating proprietary systems from those anyone could put together from essentially "off the shelf" components. (Off the shelf meaning purchased separately, not necessarily inexpensive.) While there was a palpable level of FUD emanating from some vendors and panels, personally I don't see these developments as anything but good for supercomputing as a whole.
ARSC Web Site Changes
ARSC's web site has gotten a new "look and feel."
The Newsletter archive, which includes all T3D, T3E, and HPC newsletters, dating from 1994; a handy index to all Quick-Tips; and a search function, has moved...
So... in case you have us bookmarked, here's our new address:
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ Arrrgggghhhhh!!!! Over quota again! [[ [[ Is there some easy way to locate the largest files in my account, so [[ I can figure out what to delete? # Thanks to Richard Griswold: This ought to do the trick: find ~ -type f -size +1024k -exec du -k {} \; sort -nr This will find all files over 1MB. You can change the size value to expand or limit the number of files returned, or you can eliminate it all together. Q: I use a Fortran-callable C function, for example, something like this: void Simple (int *i) { (*i)++; } But Fortran is a case-insensitive language and while some Fortran compilers (SGI, SUN, NEC, IBM) shift everything to lower case, others (CRAY) shift to upper case. Some (SGI, SUN, NEC) also append an underscore to function names. Thus, attempting to link a Fortran program which has a "call Simple (I)" to the above would give an "unsatisfied external" on any system. If I change the name of the C function to "simple_", it links successfully on an SGI, SUN, or NEC, but I'd rather make the rotten thing portable! Suggestions?

[quote user="JPP"][quote user="ShakeNBake"][quote user="JPP"][quote user="ShakeNBake"][quote user="Jerrob"][quote user="MikeIsaGiant"]I bet Mario has the biggest season out of all their WRs[/quote]
Somehow I doubt it, I am sorry but there is a reason NY let him go, he made a big play in the SB sure, but it wasn't a difficult play considering Eli* put the ball in perfectly in his hands in stride. He has always been a horrific route runner and I can show you instances where his bad route running hurt us in the Superbowl as well.
On top of all that he has the "great disappointment" Alex Smith throwing to him, everyone just fawns on how much better he played last season but of course they rarely let him throw and when he did he wasn't allowed to take any risks so he threw the ball away a lot.
Yeah, its this thing called the salary cap, plus the guy wanted a starting job
lol have you even looked at his contract, it isn't very much we could have retained him if we really tried. Whats better #1 on a run first team with an average QB at best or #3 on an explosive offensive team you already won the Superbowl with? I would definitely call it NYG letting him go.[/quote]
Mario said he didn't want to come back because he wanted a shot to play first string. This isn't my opinion, it is what came out of* his mouth, so I don't know why you're trying to debate me here.
You said it was the cap and I'm pointing out it wasn't. You were also saying NYG didn't let him go he wanted out, well I believe they did and him saying "oh well I wanted 1st string" after the fact could merely be posturing. Basically if the Giants really thought Manningham was the key to our success he wouldn't have gone anywhere but obviously they weren't willing to offer him a spot higher on our depth chart and a minor raise so they let him go.[/quote]We seem to have a knack for doing that, and then finding a replacement as good or better then the departing player

Ilana Ben-Ze'ev named as Wayne Law's new assistant dean of students
June 06, 2012
DETROIT – Wayne Law is pleased to announce that Ilana Ben-Ze'ev has been named the school's Assistant Dean of Students.
A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and Emory University School of Law, Ben-Ze'ev has practiced business law more than 29 years.

iPhone Review: Hook Worlds
Posted on 16th Dec 2010 at 11:39 by Joe Martin with 3 comments
Now, it shows up again in Hook Worlds - albeit under three different guises.
You see, there are three games in Hook Worlds. The first of these, Curse of the Watcher, doesn't anything new or wholly unfamiliar to fans of Rocketcat's previous games. A cross between Super Quick Hook's endless Avalanche mode and Hook Champ's story-driven levels, Curse has players using rocketboots and a grappling hook to flee a pursuing ghost. The controls have changed about since Super Quick Hook, but it's still super accessible; a tap on the left or right is all you need to whip through the scenery.

Read our duct tape round up to find duct tape designed to solve odd problems and for many special uses. Special use duct tapes include such types as glow-in-the-dark, weather resistant, double-sided, removable, transparent and extra tough.
Classic duct tape has a thousand uses, but taping ducts isn't one of them.
Duct tape isn't just duct tape anymore. As with coffee, there's an expanding—and confusing—variety of tapes available. Home centers that used to carry one or two types now carry five or six. Online suppliers carry even more, including all the tapes shown below. Here are the subspecies of duct tape that we think are the most useful.
Classic is the standard stuff you need for standard jobs. It's priced at $4 or less, so you can afford to keep rolls in strategic locations—toolbox, shop, cars—and be ready for anything. But, despite its name, don't use it—or any type of "duct" tape—on ducts. Metal foil tape is a far better choice for ductwork.
Transparent duct tape blends in with the taped object for a better appearance.
A duc-tape repair can be effective but ugly. Though transparent tape isn't invisible, it blends in for a better-looking fix. The version shown here, Tesa 4665, is also UV-resistant, so it doesn't crumble in sunlight. Duck Tape Clear and Scotch Tough Transparent are other examples. Prices start at about $6.
Heavy-duty duct tapes have stronger backing material and stronger adhesives.
Duct tapes are not created equal. Some have thicker, stronger adhesive and tougher backing. One way to identify these premium tapes is the size of the roll: You'll get a similar length of tape, but the roll will be fatter because of the thicker material. Price is a good guide too; heavy-duty tapes cost about twice as much as standard duct tape. Gorilla Tape (shown here), Intertape Armour Tough and Scotch Tough Extreme Hold (about $10) are a few examples.
Removable duct tapes have a strong bond, but they come off without leaving a sticky residue.
Super-sticky adhesive is what makes duct tape so handy. But it also leaves a gooey mess when you pull up the tape. That's why clever chemists have come up with removable formulas. For about $9, you get the holding power without the residue. Duck Removable (shown here) and Scotch Tough No Residue are two brands.
Designer duct tape has style in the form of color and patterns.
Just because duct tape is practical doesn't mean it has to be plain. You'll find quite a few patterns and colors on store shelves, especially at craft stores. For an amazing selection of colors, patterns, logos and more, go to duckbrand.com. College logo tapes cost about $10. Coming soon: NFL team logos.
Looking for something in the dark? You'll find it more easily if it has a swatch of glow-in-the-dark duct tape stuck to it.
Can't find your flashlight in the dark? Make it glow with duct tape. IPG's FireFly tape works just like other glow-in-the-dark items; it gives off a greenish glow after being exposed to light. It comes in plain off-white or a zebra pattern for about $8.
Double-sided duct tape is heavy-duty stuff, complete with peel-off backing.
Unlike most double-sided tapes, this is true duct tape, complete with the strong adhesive and tough mesh. Like others, it has a peel-off backing. Don't remove the backing until it's stuck in place—it will stick to your finger and itself and you'll end up with a wad of useless tape. Duck Double Sided and Shurtape Double Sided are two brands (about $7).
Go with outdoor duct tape if you want the tape to resist weathering.
If you've used duct tape outside, you know that after a few months in the sun, the backing turns flaky and falls off, leaving a gritty residue. No duct tape is completely immune to UV sunlight, but Scotch Tough Heavy Duty All Weather (about $9) will last about three times as long, according to the manufacturer.

Thanks for posting the videos!
Mao's looks good, love the music, finally it's here, yes!!!!!!!
I'll repost what I stated in an earlier thread somewhere on GS, lol:
"A true champion is one that always challenges oneself. To me, Mao is the essence of this, no matter the results. She continues to challenge herself both artistically & athletically. Going outside her comfort zone when it comes to music, during an Olympic Year no less, is part of this. She could've played it safe & gone with the pretty pretty music that she's known for, but she didn't. Same thing goes for her insistence on sticking with two 3axels during the LP (not to mention the SP as well), despite the public's overwhelming objections.
Skate for yourself, Mao-chan, remember what it is you love about skating. Skate for yourself, nobody else, not your country, not your coach, not for the judges, but for yourself."

great school. great facilities. great resources.
To find more tips for prospective students, what to do for fun and whether this school is great for a particular type of student read the 23 reviews for University of Houston-Clear Lake
Curious about something that isn't answered here? Feel free to ask University of Houston-Clear Lake a question
The University of Houston-Clear Lake is an absolute launching pad. Dr. Linda Bullock and Dr. Maria Curtis have created for the greats opportunities for advancement in my life and the school would not be the same without them. I would recommend that anyone going there would be involved in student organizations and attend the Student Government Association meetings regularly as the political climate on campus could use some improvement for the future of minority students.Read More
It is one of the best universities in Houston area. I live being a student in UH Clear Lake. I recommend you to choose UH Clear LakeRead More
this university is really good in all aspects.Read More
It is a good school for education majors and commuters. The campus is very green and well taken care of. The campus has limited housing and meal options.Read More
I give UHCL a B+ its a small but growing campus and so is suffering from growing pains. classes are small, instructors are accredited, but some courses are only offered once in a blue moon. it is academically like the big universities but still maintains its junior college feel and classes are not so large the instructors can't learn your name.Read More
University of Houston-Clear Lake (UHCL) is an amazing campus, and the best campus to choose if you love small close knit campuses! UHCL provides countless opportunities for academic, career, and volunteer advancements. UHCL is a wonderful campus with great faculty, staff, and the best students on the planet.Read More
I have enjoyed most of my classes here and can't wait to get back in this summer. Most of the professors are awesome and are serious about their subjects, which I love! The only thing that would make it better of me is on campus child care or cheaper child care in the surrounding area.Read More
Excellent school for those who want to pursuit a career in psychology. They have an excellent Applied Behaviorist Analysis program on campus. In this program you can work with autistic individuals who are in need of therapy.Read More

Microsoft Advantage.
I bought a Dell inspiron 1501. cheap laptop perfect for college. Came with Vista and dell bloatware. Reinstalled Vista and all drivers first night I had it. It was a little faster but to sluggish. Cannot blame the computer. Installed all updated drivers. all windows vista updates disabled the AERO interface. still slower than molasses in january.
So I take my XP home disc from my old dell PC intall XP update it install all the drivers get SP2 everything. Works blazingly quick. Perfect. everything I asked for. Now 1 week goes by and I complete my first ever home built PC. Needs a Operating system. install XP pro which is currently on my other desktop. set it up go to activate it and I am told that in order to activate it I need to buy a new licensing key. ok fine no problem inconvenient but expensive. I think about it and being on a budget a new OS key is kinda pricey. Wait I got Vista home premium lying around and my new pc will run it flawless.
Fast forward its installed updated perfect. now time to activate. have to talk to microsoft rep. explain whats happening. we cannot activate it because it came preinstalled on another PC from a manufacturer. in my eyes that is highway robbery. I now have a useless coaster.
So I tell them my laptop has a copy of XP on it that is validated and came from another computer preinstalled and that they had no problems activating that. >:(.
I am really mad. I do not think microsoft is justified in doing this. it is in the Eula but I do not think they have the right to enforce that if the computer I am using it on is slow and sluggish and unable to cope with it.


text: First of all, I love this site, but while I haven't been a member very long, I am realizing that the majority of posts come from the eastern and northeaster parts of the US. Would it be possible to set up an area of the site with location related questions or maybe have region or state boards that we can use to connect to others that might be in our area. I am from the North Texas area and have seen very few posts from this region. Maybe there are no members around me, but some questions that I have are directly related to the area in which I live. Thanks for considering/pondering.


text: I have a not so old GQF cabinet model incubator. I have gotten good hatches and lots of chicks the past 2-3 years. This year I cannot get it to throw more than a couple of chicks per set of a flat of eggs. I think I have narrowed it down to a humidity issue although it could be another issue. Anybody have a good constant-source bucket contraption for keeping the humidity up? Any other help as to what is going on?

text: This was another recent find along with the 80 Mini Scrambler. The fork is trashed so I'm going to replace it. Started tearing it all down today to try to clean things up. This bike has a mint set of 1st gen unstamped Skyway Tuff I's. :shock: Now here is where the purists will get mad at me....I'm just not a fan of plastic mags. Every time I see a bike with them I think freestyle and cheezy. So anyway, I had this mint set of 79 Schwinn Scrambler S2s and decided to see how they looked... Once I get a new fork installed and get it all put back together I'll see how she looks each way. I have to say though, I think the spoked wheels look pretty killer so far. :wink: Big Screen Luvin' http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m130 ... C_0015.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m130 ...

Dos and Don'ts
Public Behavior: "Saving face," or avoiding unappealing public displays, is important in China. The Shanghainese tend to be particularly courteous. Avoid intentional provocation, and keep complaints, criticisms, or disagreements polite and discreet.
First Impressions: If you are laowai (a foreigner, or non-Chinese), you will win points for efforts to use the language or demonstrate knowledge of the culture. It builds trust and goodwill.
Bowing: This is largely a lost formality in today's China. Nods and (gentle) handshakes are an appropriate greeting.
Business Cards: When receiving someone's business card, accept it with both hands and a slight bow, read it in their presence, and take pains to stow it safely away—in their presence. Do not bend or write on the card.
Drinking: The Chinese can be heavy drinkers—and take it personally if you don't follow suit. Mirror the actions of your Chinese colleagues—when they lift their glasses, lift yours too.
Chopsticks: Between bites, keep your chopsticks together and place them horizontally on your plate or across the top of your bowl. Never stand chopsticks upright in your rice bowl: this is considered a morbid gesture.
Bargaining: Indulge your bargaining skills freely in China, especially in outdoor and indoor markets. Vendors may feign outrage, but they know the game. Start with 25 percent off the asking price, and go up from there.

All excerpts are quoted from the respective link(s).
- Matt Taibbi – Taibblog – Sarah Palin, WWE Star – True/Slant – At the end of this decade what we call "politics" has devolved into a kind of ongoing, brainless soap opera about dueling cultural resentments and the really cool thing about it, if you're a TV news producer or a talk radio host, is that you can build the next day's news cycle meme around pretty much anything at all, no matter how irrelevant — like who's wearing a flag lapel pin and who isn't, who spent $150K worth of campaign funds on clothes and who didn't, who wore a t-shirt calling someone a cunt and who didn't, and who put a picture of a former Vice Presidential candidate in jogging shorts on his magazine cover (and who didn't).
- Quote and Comment – I was asked to speak recently at a conference organized by Yale University with the title "Journalism & The New Media Ecology: Who Will Pay The Messenger?" This irritated me. The question should have been "who will subsidize news production?" because news production has always been subsidized by someone or something. Very rarely have users paid directly the costs of editorial production.
- A Question of Emphasis :: The Scoop – My fear as a Washington Post subscriber and reader of washingtonpost.com is that, when the folks running the organization turn things around (and I believe that it is not an impossibility or even a long-shot), what emerges will be not only a news organization that is a shadow of its former self – most orgs will have to face that reality – but that it will have put so much emphasis on the paper that it cannot take advantage of the possibilities online. That the folks running things are literally rolling back the progress and smart work that has been done, and will not be able to get it back as fast as they might think. And the people who remain – those who will be charged with the task of rebuilding a news operation that embraces all of the ways that its readers and users can gain value – will have neither the support nor the depth to make it happen.
- The 40-30-30 Rule: Why Risk Is Worth It :: Tips :: The 99 Percent – Many of the strategies employed in competitive and recreational sports are applicable in business and our personal lives. One lesson I learned from alpine ski racing was the "40-30-30 Rule." During training, early on, I tried to go fast, and I also focused on not falling. On a ride up the ski lift, my coach told me I was missing the point. He explained that success in ski racing, or most sports for that matter, was only 40% physical training. The other 60% was mental. And of that, the first 30% was technical skill and experience. The second 30% was the willingness to take risks.
- Video of Angry Wingnuts Booing Sarah Palin, Calling Her a "Quitter" & Chanting "Sign Our Books" | Rumproast – Teabaggers just aren't happy about anything these days. I guess the Noblesville, Indiana Going Rogue book signing didn't go very well yesterday because 300* or so of the 1000 people with wristbands were asked not to tread on Sarah Palin and then she tried to make a getaway with Baby Trig and several duffel bags full of cash but wingnuts have learned to protest about everything these days, so they were having none of it. This is the best thing you will see about horrible, horrible Sarah Palin on the internets all day and until the end of time.

Most of them tried EVERYTHING to hide/make sure that the tapes wouldn't ruin there lives and bring shame to them and there famillies. And then there's Kim's, her own mother sold it to vivid to make millions. And that is how Kim became "famous", she got nude, had sex with a dude, let the dude literally pi-ss on her. Now Kim has millions of dollars, get free designer clothes that the designers send her to advertise, hangs with the rich and famous, free plastic surgery, free jewelry, free private plane trips, etc, etc, etc, All because of a sex tape. Yeah, young girls are told stay in school and you can "have it all". What does this "thing" teach young girls? I'm not watching the kardashian anymore.

WINSTED >> Route 263 is closed between Platt Hill and Rugg Brook roads because of an accident, the state Department of Transportation said Tuesday evening.

Everyone has the right to be stupid. Some just abuse the privilege.
I want to see this movie, but I don't know that I will be able to see it until it is released on DVD. It does look like a great movie, but we all know that the trailers for a movie can often be very misleading. They have a tendency to show the best minute and a half of the movie, and leave out the other hour and a half of boring, but if this movie is half of what the previews make it out to be it should be a fantastic movie. I can't remember the last movie Kevin Costner has made. It has been a few years since he has released anything that I can recall.

Panasonic's AE7000 projector is one of the first 3D LCD projectors available to home cinema enthusiasts. It's an excellent 2D projector, and definitely one of the best we have seen for watching 1080p Full HD movies. If you want to watch 3D video it's not as good due to a significant dip in brightness, but it's still usable in a darkened room.
The Panasonic PT-AE7000 is a home theatre projector with a bright, efficient 2000 lumen lamp and a 3D-capable 1080p Full HD LCD panel, with a rated contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1. These specifications sound impressive, and that's because they are: the AE7000 is an excellent performer.
The big, black Panasonic PT-AE7000 looks simple and utilitarian from the front and from the top — and these are the angles you'll be looking at if you mount the AE7000 on your home theatre room's ceiling. The 2x zoom lens is offset to the right of the projector, and there are fan exhaust and intake vents on the front and right side.
Three labeled LED lights on the top of the projector display power and warnings for overheating or lamp failure. Apart from a Panasonic logo and Full HD 3D badge, there's nothing else to see. Move around to the projector's right, and you find a control pad with power button, menu button and navigational pad, and electronic zoom and focus controls for the lens.
As you zoom the lens to suit larger projection surfaces there is a reasonable amount of light fall-off, but we were always able to get an acceptably bright image in our testing. The lens and focus combination means the Panasonic AE7000 can display images of up to 300in in size, although we'd imagine most users won't go larger than 150in.
For 3D projection, Panasonic has set the screen size limit at two thirds of the maximum. This is because the combination of 3D projection and 3D active shutter glasses reduces the brightness of the image significantly — it's still more than bright enough on a small screen, but if you're watching it at the maximum screen size in 3D you'll want to have the PT-AE7000 set up in an entirely dark room.
The Panasonic PT-AE7000 has vertical and horizontal lens shift built into the lens setup, although at plus or minus 100 per cent vertical and 26 per cent horizontal it's not as versatile as the BenQ W7000. Digital keystone adjustment of up to plus or minus 30 per cent is also built into the AE7000, allowing for non-ideal projector placements.
The Panasonic PT-AE7000 projector is an excellent performer when it comes to non-3D image quality. When supplied with a high quality video source, it looks as good as any LED or plasma TV we've seen. We used a Blu-ray copy of The Dark Knight and Terminator: Salvation for the majority of our testing, but also dipped into Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 3D and The Matrix on DVD.
Contrast is a strong point of the AE7000: it's able to produce images with deep blacks, richly toned colours and bright white highlights even when in it's default settings. We didn't see any need to alter its Cinema preset significantly apart from slightly lowering brightness to suit our dimmed room conditions.
Black levels, once the projector is set up to suit your room, are also very impressive. In a completely black room, dark areas of the projected image almost melt into the background — like a movie cinema, blacks generally look black but without compromising the brightness or contrast of well-lit areas.
Sharpness is also good when the AE7000 is displaying a Full HD video source. At our 150in screen size we were able to pick out the pores in Christian Bale's sweaty face in Terminator: our benchmark for a high quality home theatre projector.
Changing to 3D mode and putting on a pair of Panasonic's active shutter glasses does significantly impact the brightness of the image. In our dimmed room, the screen brightness was just enough for us to enjoy watching, but we preferred to watch in complete darkness with no ambient light. We think it will take another couple of generations of projector enhancements for large-screen 3D projection to be perfect for home use.
Brightness notwithstanding, we did notice good levels of clarity and appreciable 'depth' during our 3D watching tests. Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs doesn't have the same 'pop' as when we viewed it on an LG Cinema 3D LED TV using passive 3D glasses — this is purely because of that setup's significant advantage in brightness levels, though. 3D images from the PT-AE7000 don't display any significant cross-talk or blurriness even in scenes of fast motion.
We did notice the fan noise of the Panasonic PT-AE7000 when we were using it in maximum brightness mode, with the projector around 2m away from our watching and listening point. It's a low hum and is easily drowned out when there's any audio playing, but if possible we'd opt for the Eco mode, which dims brightness a little but makes the fan much quieter and barely audible during mid-movie silences.
If you can manage to put the projector in its Eco mode to cut out most of the fan noise — or if you don't mind turning up your movies a little louder to compensate — the Panasonic PT-AE7000 is able to produce extremely high quality projected images in both 2D and 3D mode. 3D is on the margin of being acceptably bright, though — we'd definitely recommend an entirely dark room if possible.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Geneva, SWITZERLAND – Qatar Airways has once again been honoured with accolades at the annual Skytrax 2013 World Airport Awards by retaining awards in two key categories at a ceremony held in Geneva.
Qatar Airways Vice-President Commercial North, South & Western Europe Paul Johannes Paul Johannes, Vice President Commercial Europe Qatar Airways, collects the award for Best Premium Service Airport on behalf of the airline at the Skytrax 2013 World Airport Awards World's held at the Passenger Terminal EXPO in Geneva.
Kevork Deldelian, General Manager Oryx Rotana, proudly shows off Qatar Airways' award for Best Airport Hotel In Middle East, the second year that the airline has received the coveted prize.
For the third consecutive year, Qatar Airways' Premium Terminal at Doha International Airport (DIA) was named World's Best Premium Service Airport, recognised for its superior Five Star service and excellent customer care.
Qatar Airways-owned Oryx Rotana has also achieved a remarkable milestone, rising to be named among the top three airport hotels in the world after winning the Best Airport Hotel in the Middle East award for the second year running.
This year's win moved the carrier's five-star hotel at Doha International Airport from 10th to third position in the Skytrax Airport Hotel global category.
Opened in 2006, Qatar Airways' Premium Terminal became the world's first dedicated passenger terminal exclusively for First and Business Class travellers and firmly established the airline as an industry innovator. Its world-class facilities, including fine dining, luxurious spa amenities and business centre make the facility a haven for transiting and departing premium travellers. Since opening three years ago, the 400-room Oryx Rotana remains a favourite among business and leisure travellers arriving in Qatar.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said the company was yet again honoured to be recognised by Skytrax with two leading accolades.
"These latest achievements are further testament to our excellent facilities and dedication of our staff to provide the high levels of service that customers expect," he said.
"The experience for any passenger starts at the airport, so our Premium Terminal has proved to be a real winner among our customers being well ahead of our competitor facilities around the world.
"And being the first hotel in Qatar Airways' stable, the Oryx Rotana, has yet again shown a remarkable leap in global appeal, now ranked among the top three best airport hotels in the world and the best in the Middle East."
Oryx Rotana General Manager Kevork Deldelian, who picked up the hotel award in Geneva, added: "Since we opened three years ago, the Oryx Rotana in Doha has continued to delight guests from around the world, whether they are travelling to Doha on business or leisure.
"We always strive to go out of our way to make sure all our customers are comfortable and well looked after and that they of course enjoy the fabulous Qatar Airways Group signature Five Star service. Yet again we have shown we can compete with the best. To win the Skytrax award for the second year running is a great accomplishment and what an achievement to be elevated with such prestigious rankings."
Congratulating Qatar Airways on the win, Skytrax chairman Edward Plaisted said: "Qatar Airways' Premium Terminal continues to be a great success with passengers from around the world and ensures that Doha retains its status as the World's Best Premium Service Airport.
"This unique facility has provided passengers with unmatched levels of product and service quality and we congratulate both Qatar Airways and Doha International Airport on winning this prize for three consecutive years. In winning the region's best airport hotel award, it also shows the Qatar Airways Group is very focused on all elements of customer service."
Skytrax World Airport Awards recognise the very best of product and service of the world airport service industry. The survey was conducted over 10 months to February 2013 with more than 12 million nominations from 110 nationalities.
Qatar Airways has seen rapid growth in just 16 years of operations, currently flying to 126 key destinations across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and The Americas, including Chicago, the airline's newest point introduced on April 10.
Over the next few weeks and months, Qatar Airways will launch scheduled flights to a diverse portfolio of new routes, including Salalah, Oman (May 22); Basra, Iraq (June 3); Sulaymaniyah, Iraq (August 20) and Chengdu, China (September 3) with many more new destinations planned.
Qatar Airways currently has orders worth over US$50 billion for more than 250 aircraft, including Boeing 787s, 777s, Airbus A350s, A380s and A320 Family of aircraft. In addition to winning Skytrax's prestigious Airline of the Year 2011 and 2012, Qatar Airways was named Best Airline in the Middle East for the seventh year in a row. Skytrax is the only global independent passenger survey monitoring airline standards and is considered the ultimate benchmark for excellence in the airline industry. In October 2012, Qatar Airways became the first of the major Gulf carriers to officially join a global alliance having been invited into the oneworld group.

Lest we Forget - Thursday, 1 November 2012
Fort Nelson will ring to the sound of First World War gun salutes to mark Remembrance Sunday on November 11.
An original 18-pounder QF field gun from the First World War will be fired in salute to mark the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month – commemorating the moment when the guns fell silent on the Western Front in 1918.
Fort Nelson visitors will join the nation in honouring those British servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in the two World Wars and later conflicts – including Iraq and Afghanistan. A further gun-firing demonstrating the 18-pounder as it would have been seen in action follows at 2pm.
The firings will be conducted by uniformed gun crews from the Brockhurst Artillery, representing Field Artillery of the Great War period.
Armistice Day has special significance at Fort Nelson as the Victorian building acted as a transit depot and training establishment for soldiers embarking at Portsmouth for France. Barrack accommodation in and around Portsmouth was at a premium since the wartime garrison at times numbered as many as 25,000 men.
The Remembrance Day firings will be 18-pounder's last outing before the gun is confined to the Fort Nelson workshops for a complete overhaul. It will be operational in time for Armistice Day 2013 and the 100th anniversary commemorations of the outbreak of the "War to end all Wars" in 2014.
Royal Armouries' Keeper of Artillery Nick Hall said, "It is an interesting gun for many reasons, not least in that it was collected by our former Master of the Armouries, Charles ffoulkes. He amassed so much material during the First World War that it could not all fit into the Tower of London Armouries, leading to the foundation of the Imperial War Museum.
"We don't have any service history for our gun but we can be pretty sure it saw service on the Western Front. Artillery was by far the greatest cause of casualties during the Great War and 18 pounders fired nearly 100 million rounds between 1914 to1918."
Nick added that he took the 18-pounder to the Heavy Horse Show at the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum for their War Horse display earlier this year, where it attracted widespread attention.
Fort Nelson is home to the national collection of artillery – the big guns. Sunday's gun firings, plus museum admission, are free.
To find Fort Nelson, follow the brown Tourist signs from the M27. The Fort is open seven days a week, from 10am to 5pm.

text: I think I've enjoyed contemplating what we're going to do this year more than any in recent years. It's nice not to see a glaring hole that needs to be filled. My previous Mocks are at the end of the post. A lot has changed since then. Some things haven't for me. Let's kick it around. 1) #22...Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee, 6' 3", 210...I've intended to change this pick the last two mocks. I cannot bring myself to do that. The only player who would make me change my mind is Patrick Willis and I think he'll be long gone. Our top 2 WRs are on the decline and well over 30. Our #3 guy could be lost to Free Agency. I just think ignoring WR with the 1st round pick is a recipe for disaster. Meachem is big, fast, has great character and will benefit from having 2 hard workers as mentors before it's his turn. There has never been a better situation for taking a WR than now and this kid is a cowboy. 2) #53...LaMarr Woodley, DE/OLB, Michigan, 6'2", 274...Bookend him with Ware, or move him up to DE in pass situations or the Nickel. We need more pressure on the QB. Here's a guy who can apply some. I'd like a return to the early 90's where we rotated D-line guys so we were always fresh. I like the idea of Ratliff, Spears, Canty, Hatcher, and Woodley coming at the QB along with Ware, Burnett, and Carpenter. Notice I didn't even bring up Ellis. I'm talking about or the next 4 or 5 years. 3) #87...Paul Soliai, DT, Utah, 6' 4", 344...NT is a need. Here's a guy who can anchor that position and who in a Nickel alongside a Spears, Ratliff, or Canty at DT will be hard to push backwards. A perfect replacement for Ferguson when he is ready. 4) #118...Zak DeOssie, ILB, Brown, 6'5", 250...He will contribute on Special Teams coverage units (he loves them), can Long Snap, is smart, is the son of a former Cowboys player, and fills a need. As much as I like Anthony Waters and think he will be a steal, I like this kid just as much. Either option will thrill me. It completes a 7 deep LB Corp that is versatile and football oriented. 5) #149...Allen Barbre, OT, Missouri Southern State, 6'4", 300...Big, strong, mean, and smart. Can definitely be that small school steal that we have capitalized on in the past. 6) #180...Courtney Brown, CB, Cal Poly, 6'2", 200...I don't know why he slipped down some draft boards, but he did. I'd be thrilled with him in the 6th round. 6) #185...Brandon Myles, WR, West Virginia, 6'3", 190...I can't deny his value. I can't deny in 3 years he could be the #2 WR and a good bookend for Meachem. Don't look past his stats. West Virginia is a run happy offense, but when they need to throw the ball this kid goes and gets it. 7) #193...Jordan Palmer, QB, UTEP, 6'5", 235...Against my better judgment I listened to those who whined about me taking John Beck too early in every draft because we have other needs. I still believe he is the 3rd best QB in this draft, and is the smartest choice for this team. That said, Palmer fits my elitest pedigree hopes agenda. Hopefully my waiting until the 7th round will appease the gators. 7) #215...Nate Ilaoa, FB, Hawaii, 5'10", 245...He catches the ball, he knows where the endzone is, and will dare a defender to get in front of him. Can be a FB or the 3rd RB, maybe even a goal line guy if Barber becomes the primary carrier. 7) #218...Scott Stephenson, C, Iowa State, 6'3", 297...Fills a need for backup Center and can also play some Guard. Is smart and has good intangibles which mean his upside is good. As always I invite criticism and comments. I will respond to most because this is fun. Rip it apart and tell me how crazy I am if you wish. My previous versions. FIRST 1) #22...Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee, 6' 3", 210 2) #53...Dan Bazuin, DE/OLB, Central Michigan, 6' 3", 266 3) #87...John Beck, QB, BYU, 6' 2", 215 4) #118...Josh Beekman, OG, Boston College, 6' 2", 313 5) #149...Chris Henry, RB, Arizona, 5' 11", 230 6) #180...Paul Soliai, DT, Utah, 6' 4", 344 6) #185...Courtney Brown, CB, Cal Poly, 6' 2" 200 7) #193...Jeff Samardzija, WR, Notre Dame, 6' 5", 215 7) #215...Nick Leeson, LS, Va Tech, 6' 2", 255 7) #218...Nick Folk, K, Arizona, 6' 2", 225 SECOND 1) #22...Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee, 6' 3", 210 2) #53...Justin Blalock, OG, Texas, 6'4", 329 3) #87...Dan Bazuin, DE/OLB, Central Michigan, 6' 3", 266 4) #118...John Beck, QB, BYU, 6' 2", 215 5) #149...Doug Datish, C, Ohio State, 6'5", 295 6) #180...Michael Bush, RB, Louisville, 6'3", 247 6) #185...Joe Newton, TE, Oregon State, 6'7", 257 7) #193...Anthony Waters, ILB, Clemson, 6'3", 245 7) #215...Bo Smith, CB, Weber State, 5'10" 193 7) #218...Jeff Samardzija, WR, Notre Dame, 6' 5", 215 THIRD 1) #22...Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee, 6' 3", 210 2) #53...DeMarcus Tyler, DT, North Carolina State, 6'2", 305 3) #87...Daymeion Hughes, CB, California, 6'2", 188 4) #118...John Beck, QB, BYU, 6' 2", 215 5) #149...Allen Barbre, OT, Missouri Southern State, 6'4", 300 6) #180...LeRoy Harris, C, North Carolina State 6) #185...Anthony Waters, ILB, Clemson, 6'3", 245 7) #193...Laurent Robinson, WR, Illinois State, 6'2", 199 7) #215...Selvin Young, RB, Texas, 5'11", 217 7) #218...Dante Rosario, TE, Oregon, 6'4", 250
