Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by Bigdog, Apr 22, 2012.
Hmm. Almost went that direction. I kinda like that one better.
I really want Fleener for this offense. Add Fleener and Broyles, and this offense will be crazy good.
4 picks to move up 8 spots? Highlyyyy unlikely.
That's about right.
But we all know the Browns have so few needs that they would overpay by a 2nd rounder for the 14th pick. :laugh2:
We have some gullible partners in crime around here sometimes.
Look for the Browns to take Weeden early.
I've seen #37 be put in the mid first.
So instead, I go Glenn in the 1st, move up from #37 and take McClellan.
Bones Jones boosted Chandlers status last night
It definitely won't be early. If they take him, it would be the 2nd first round pick they got from Atlanta.
But I have either Cleveland grabbing him at 23 or whatever they pick, or Miami trading down with New England and taking him at 27.
Yes please.
I like DeCastro and all, but I'd take that trade and run. I'd do it for just #22 and #37. And if Floyd is their target, pretty good chance he's there at 14.
I had been thinking we'd need to trade down with Denver to pick up a similar kind of deal -- #25(1), #57(2) and #120(4) -- but the Cleveland trade would be much betterer.
At times it might be.
At other times it will completely sputter because nobody is blocking.
You think Fleener will even get many looks having to stay in and block like Bennett did?
What's the deal?
I trust Garrett and crew to create plays for Fleener. They had no trust in Bennett in that area. Bennett was an above average blocker, thus he was brought in more so for blocking.
I can't see this happening, but just for kicks...
22. Mercilus (OLB)
37. Zeitler (OG)
45. Robinson (CB)
81. Wolfe (DE)
113. Egnew (TE)
118. Blake (C)
135. Carder (ILB)
152. Fangupo (NT)
186. Coales (WR)
211. Adcock (OT)
222. Daniels (S)
He was brought in because his supreme athleticism was supposed to create mismatches all across the field.
He was brought in to be a threat in the field, that's a fact. I'm pretty sure I've posted quotes before from Jerry himself who said as much. If the search function weren't limited for whatever reason, I'd take the time to dig them up.
The fact that he blocked well was just a consolation prize for having a guy never develop.
You don't trade a guy after his 2nd year and draft a TE in the 2nd round to solely get better at blocking. Why not just put another OL out there if that's what you are looking for?
Furthermore, you're essentially saying that outcomes determine intentions which is completely ridiculous. Just because he was a good blocker doesn't mean that the team brought him in solely for that. Hell, by this train of thought Dallas intentionally brought Costa in to suck because that's what happened.
Another thread mentioned a scouts take on Fleener's blocking and didn't sound too impressed.
I have little doubt that Garrett could find a play for him but plenty of doubt that Garrett would feel comfortable calling such a play because the OL can't hold up.
I think a lot of people are far too envious of unique situation in New England. People had similar hard-ons for the Wildshat formation until they realized what a complete waste of time it was for a team with a good QB to run.
New England has a unique situation. Trying to emulate that is pointless.
1. They have 1 WR to speak of which allows defenses to focus on Welker.
2. They have an OL that allows them to call any play with total confidence.
Dallas is the complete opposite.
1. Dallas has 2 very good WRs, making it much more difficult for the defense to limit opportunities for them.
2. Dallas has an OL that doesn't allow them to call pretty much any play with confidence. On any given play last year it was likely that one of the 4 guys not named Tyron was going to struggle significantly.
The infatuation with the 2TE package is mind boggling to me.
From the simplest standpoint possible, it obviously only works if you have 2 REALLY, REALLY GOOD TEs.
But, what kind of mismatches can be made if you have 2 REALLY REALLY GOOD WRs?
I just don't see the point. If you have 2 very good WRs or 2 very good TEs you shouldn't struggle at all to be effective.
How many of those top offenses have 2 stud TEs? None. How many have multiple good WRs? Nearly all.
Dallas has multiple good receivers. They do not need a TE to be good. They need an OL, simple as that. This team drafts DeCastro and gets better play from C, the offense will explode.
They draft a TE and only get better play from the C position, they might put up slightly better numbers than they did in 2011 but they'll struggle in key situations like running the ball in the redzone and will ultimate be boom or bust again.
This team does not need a TE. I'm almost entirely sick of seeing the infatuation that has been brought about by one successful team amongst a handful of numerous other successful teams who do not follow the same blueprint.
I'll be entirely disgusted with a TE in the 1st round or 2nd round and I'll be pissed in the 3rd or 4th. Find a role player to fill that position. You do not need to world beaters at the TE position to win in the NFL.
I'm not saying this is you but this is just a general statement.
I cannot believe that the archaic yet widely-prevailing idea that an OG at #14 isn't worth the pick but a BACKUP TE is worth a pick anywhere near the 1st round.
We're talking about an OG who will play every offensive down versus a BACKUP who will only be on the field 50% of the time because the team will be using other packages the other 50% of the time.
Mind-boggling. A small step from insanity, IMO.
I wouldn't. There will be plenty of pass rushers available at 37. Curry, Branch, McClellan, one of them will be there if it's a pass rusher you want.
I believe that we like Konz and I believe that if we did decide to trade down to 22, the only way that Konz wouldn't be our pick is if he went before 22.
I don't want Curry or Branch.
I want McClellan and Adding 3 additional picks to the pile gives Dallas plenty of room to move up and have an adequate sized draft class.
This jives with what I posted on Saturday regarding the Browns interest in moving up for Floyd.
That being said, there's no way they would give up all that to move up eight spots unless Ditka is in the warroom. If that's the case, I would make that trade after I was done changing my underpants.
Cards are a darkhorse for Floyd who is a poor man's version of Fitz.

I got a great deal on the dishwasher. Delivery to the store where I will pick it up has been delayed. That is not a problem for me yet because my current dishwasher (18 years old!) is still working, though I feel it may be on it's last legs. The offer for the new dishwasher was so good I couldn't pass it up. Keep up your great offers.
stoft78087 commented on 11/8/16
Dishwashers don't have to cost $600 to wash dishes. That's why I jumped at the offer of a $200 dishwasher. Everything was as advertised on the website. The ordering process moved smoothly. Thanks again.
expressionsbyamanda33870 commented on 11/8/16
I think the deal must have changed a bit, but it was still an excellent deal. I wouldn't have known about the deal at all if I had not been alerted. I found a dishwasher for my friend at a great price... it was just what she was looking for!
stoft78087 commented on 11/6/16
Incredible price for a stainless steel dishwasher. Basically, all they have to do is wash your dishes, and paying $500 or more for dishwashers to do this is horse hockey.

Unfortunately, the sprinkler from Sears (Black & Decker) did not work...I went back to the local Sears Hardware store where it was shipped to and they did not want to help me, so I had to drive back home and get on Sears.com and chat with an agent...they did not have any more in stock but did agree to refund my money and let me order another sprinkler when they become available at the offers.com price. I have now spent more than an hour and a half to pick up the sprinkler, return to the store with a defective product and chatting with someone from Sears...kinda makes the great sale price not worth it!

I bought a very inexpensive throw blanket from Sears, and ended up that it was only available from Kmart. I ordered it at 1PM on Saturday and didn't get there until 4PM that day, and of course they didn't have it ready. I had to wait about 30 minutes while they found the item. Best Buy always has orders ready within an hour or less.

Lol woooo wo wo slow down there buddy. 5 carries?David Wilson gets 5 carries ......BOLD!!!
Giants actually play a well balanced solid game in all three phases.....
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
I just want a win.
My bold prediction is the Giants go on a roll and win the next 4 games.{bold enough for ya}
OK Wilson takes one to the house on a return. Gets at least 6 touches from scrimmage. And takes a run or catch more than 30 yrds. Yup a breakout game for the kid.
Giants get a BIG lead ,Eli comes out in the 4th.............Carr goes in for some final winning action. ( week 5 )
Giants will run a designed fake FG play.
The O line Protects and the D line decimates....nuf sed!
this one isnt mine, its buddy33's. "weeden will outplay eli"...

Research Interests
Obesity results when energy intake exceeds energy expenditure over time. I conceptualize overeating as a learned or conditioned behavior that is reinforced by natural neurobiological rewarding properties of food cued by environmental stimuli and mediated/moderated by psychosocial factors. I am interested in developing effective obesity prevention interventions that target psychosocial mediators to mitigate the impact of the obesigenic environment and the natural rewarding properties of food on the individual among families in the earliest years of development. Related to these ultimate research goals are identifying 1) mediators to overeating, 2) effective behavior change strategies, and 3) valid/reliable measures of these variables.

Representative Patrick J. Kennedy's campaigns were always about something far larger than Rhode Island's First Congressional District, which snakes from Burrillville down through the Blackstone Valley and into Newport.
Kennedy voters were casting a ballot not just for the Congressman, but for Camelot. And the conservative donors from Ohio and Texas who funded the opposition were taking a shot not just at a liberal representative, but at liberalism itself.
The race to succeed the Congressman, who stunned the political class with the recent announcement that he is not seeking re-election, will take on some of the national cast of recent First Congressional District contests.
Indeed, the mere fact that a Kennedy is vacating the seat is sure to attract some attention from out-of-town reporters, particularly if the GOP somehow mounts a credible challenge and produces the inevitable comparisons to Republican Scott Brown's capture of the late Ted Kennedy's Senate seat.
But the nascent race is shaping up like something far more conventional and, for the political junky, far more intriguing: an old-fashioned Democratic scrum that will ripple across the state's political firmament.
Indeed, with Providence Mayor David N. Cicilline declaring for Kennedy's seat, an intense battle to seize City Hall is already under way, with would-be candidates like former State Senator Myrth York and Harvard-educated Latino lawyer Angel Taveras jockeying for support.
Bill Lynch's decision to step down as Democratic Party chairman and run for Congress has set off a second fight for control of the party apparatus — a fight that could provide an early glimpse at where new kingmaker, Speaker of the House Gordon Fox, would like to take the Democrats.
The Providence City Council and the General Assembly are sure to feel the effects, too. And the race could even change the dynamics of Rhode Island's closely fought gubernatorial contest.
Kennedy's retirement is, in short, a feast for a state that has always had a hearty appetite for politics. Let's dig in.
Until recently, Cicilline was concentrating on the repair of a frayed political operation in the run-up to a third mayoral bid. But he has eyed Congress for years. And Kennedy's surprise retirement presented an opportunity he had to seize.
With Representative James Langevin expected to survive this year's anti-incumbent fever and Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse firmly ensconced in Washington, there was no other obvious vacancy in the making.
But this moment, suddenly thrust upon him, is not ideal. Cicilline is running in the midst of a major recession and, like many elected officials, is saddled with low approval ratings.
Moreover, eight years in the mayor's office have brought their share of trouble: a brother who tried to pass a bad check with the city, a drawn-out contract fight with city firefighters, a snowstorm that stranded school children on buses.
But Cicilline, at this point, has to be considered the man to beat. The candidate, who has built a national profile as the openly gay pol who cleaned up a sullied City Hall, has proven that he can raise large sums of money from in-state and out-of-state backers.

You can download the templates for this https://docs.google.com/folderview?id=0B2tR3ZWmJm01OWJmOGM0MjItYTdmYi00MjZhLTllYWUtMTlkNzNiN2ZjZjUx&usp=docslist_apifrom my Google Drive:
My boarding passes that I sent to confirmed guests for our destination wedding in Kauai, about a month before the wedding....
I sent this and a customized luggage tag to my guests after they RSVP'd.
Mahalo to MauidAims for the luggage tag inspiration and the boarding pass template.
Fonts used: Bonheur Royale, Maiandra CD, Arial, WMTrees1 and Hibiscus
(we put each guests name on the back with clear address labels)
Here's how it all came together:
The Boarding Pass Envelope...it was all mailed in the Cloud Print Outer Envelope (which I found at Office Depot):
-Light colored cardstock (at least 80 lb. weight)
-Straight paper cutter/trimmer with a perforating blade as well as straight cut blade
-Scissors or Corner rounded punch (to round corners on the passes) optional
-24 lbs paper for the sleeve/pocket
-Computer with MSWord and color printer (unless you plan to print commercially)
-Stapler to connect each page of the pass (I used cute colored ones)
-Rubber cement (to glue down flap on sleeve) optional
- Inkjet ID cards (see above for details)
-Ribbon (for tags)
-Clear mailing labels (to customize the address on the tags and well as for mailing)
1. Using the boarding pass template(PM me you e-mail address if you'd like the template) design you layout using fonts, colors and clip art that correspond with your theme.
2. Print on to cardstock
3. Cut each page of the pass out using the paper trimmer or scissors (one sheet gives you three passes).
4. Round corners with scissors or paper punch.
5. Perforate the right tab of each pass with the perforating blade (optional)
6. Stack passes on each other and staple to each other in the left side.
7. Print outer sleeve/wrap and fold into thirds. Trim left inside corner to expose passes when they're inserted. Make a slit (optional) using scissors or straight cutter to expose the right side of the passes when inserted. Slip passes into sleeve, slipping the right side through the slit. You can use rubber cement to secure the top flap of the inner sleeve, if you like.
8. Ready to mail!
9. If you want to include luggage tags, design and print according to the packages included instructions. String with ribbons and customize with the recipient's address by printing clear mailing labels and affixing to the backside of each tag.

Noun: The upset stomach you may experience when about to see someone that you are twitterpated with (see twitterpated definition if you have not experienced this first-hand). Similar to butterflies, but much more intense and uncomfortable. Usually occurs about 30-60 minutes prior to the date, and diminishes about 30 minutes into the date, if it is going well.
Example of usage: I wish they would sell something over the counter to take for twitterflies, because they are a nuisance and I experience them everytime I am going to see Harold.

Hi all,
Let first thank all of you for the help I have received from just reading and researching the forums and from people answering my questions.
I have 2 TBH that I started with packages on the 18th of may. They both did very well and started building comb right away. After 2 weeks of feeding sugar water, I opened the hives, one at a time and found that one had cross comb and the other had followed the triangle strips perfectly. The one that had built correctly, I moved the started combs to the back of the hive. I had given them 12 of the 36 bars. from then on, they have been doing great!!!
The cross comb hive, I gently removed the empty new combs and applied them to the guides. I put them right behind the large 2 bar comb that had clear sweet honey in it. When I went back a week later, they had again added onto the cross comb. They left the fresh, soft bright white comb, that I put onto other bars alone. There was about 4 of them. I tried again to separate some of the cross comb to put onto other bars and the whole comb fell into the bottom of the hive. I tried to pick the whole comb up because I knew there where girls under it. It was just crumbling because it was so soft. I managed to get it apart and put onto bars but with casualties. It broke my heart. I know it sound weird but, once I realized how much of a family and how they take care of each other, it seems like they are more than just bees. I finished and closed the hive up. A week later I opened it up again to see if they had recovered and started to take to the re-attached combs. They had started filling some of the other combs but, they were again building on the same 2 bars. There were only 2 combs, connected so I figured it wouldn't be hard to separate them. I removed them and when I went to press the top of one of the combs to a bar, I saw larvae squeeze out. I knew then what had happened the first time I dropped the big cross comb, I killed the queen and they were trying to re-queen. I figured this because, they hadn't stored anything but clear honey and a little pollen. I attached the comb and hoped for the best. About 2 days later, the hive was empty. With a bag of sugar water still in it.
The second hive, by now, had built so much comb that I had to open up the whole 36 bars. I figure the remaining bees from the first hive, went to the second.
This bring me to today. It has rained everyday, (not sprinkled but flooding rains), for the past 3 weeks. I have not been able to open the hive since June 23rd. Today is the 17th day. I have been watching to see if the girls are collecting pollen and even in the rain, I see one about every 20 minutes come back with her baskets full. So, I have been keeping sugar water in a covered feeder under the hive. They are emptying it, (1 quart), every 3 to 4 days.
The dew points have been around 79 and they are constantly fanning the entrance. The humidity is stifling. I know most of the bees are home and cant open the hive in the rain so, what should I do? They way they were building the last time I checked, every bar probably has a comb on it.
When do I attempt to open it? Do I need to?

I am sad to announce that I have had to withdraw from the 2011 US National Championships in Greensboro, NC. I took a weird fall on a jump last week and hurt my ankle...and while it will heal up just fine...it will not do so in time for me to be ready to compete next week =(
I don't always understand why at the time, but I believe things happen for a reason! My training has been going very well and I'm looking forward to getting back onto the ice and working towards a great new year!
Thanks for all of the kind words and support I have already received from so many of you!

My time at the resort and our small cycling trip..

I will now step back in time to tell you all about my time at the Resort (about 2,5 weeks) and the cycling trip that Roman and I took.
As planned I could stay at Roman's place, a studio in one of the resort buildings. Beautiful new place with a teak wood floor. However it did not have a kitchen. This ment we had to eat our meals at the restaurant. For him these meals are part of salary, mine of course not. As it is a 4-star resort, I cannot affort the menu meals, so he arranged for me to eat the personnel food for small fee. So here I am after camping out for over a month, eating is this porsch restaurant, surrounded my personnel and 'wealthy' people. Bit of a change. And as most of you know, not the type of environment I feel most comfortable in.
The surroundings are beautiful. The resort is located in forest, it even has its own water spring on the premises. And a great meditation spot right under a 3-forked lime tree! Wild fruit everywhere, mushrooms to pick and eat, great forest trails to go running. A thing I do now that I am not cycling daily. Very quiet here, and green as far at the eye can see!
Even though I loved spending time with Roman again, it also felt strange to be here, as I am depending on him for all sorts of things, like when/what to eat, having laundry done, getting my bicycle from the the storage room etc. etc. Not because Roman wanted this, just because he was living at the resort and having to take certain rules into consideration. Being independent as I am, it was just not my thing. But tried my best, helping him out with some work computer things, doing my own thing while he was working. The contrast could not have been bigger with how we met before. Living very basic at Mountain Yoga in China, sharing time at the Rainbow Gathering in Thailand. And now he being this supervisor/yoga teacher at this porsch resort with mobile phone/laptop, having meetings every day! Our karma connection goes very deep and eventhough the environment is different, the friendship has not changed at all, maybe even intensified.
After about a week we decide to 'escape' the resort for a few days and go on a bicycle frip to see a bit more of Czech. Sleeping outside, making campfires, just being contact with nature. I am learning so many things here, about wild fruit, flowers to use for tea, tree 'juice' you can eat and lots more. Never knew this before. Feel any town/city kid should be have an intensive nature course as part of education! It will bring about not only great information but more respect for nature as well I think. Anyhow, I am loving it and feel much more connected with it then before. We cycle without a real plan, which eventually takes us down to Landsteijn, where there is an interesting ruin. However this is not the highlight of the trip. Not planning where to sleep, we end up at this abandoned campsite for the first night, after seeing an African band perform, great vibes! The next day we have this amazing ' lunch' with 2 guys on the top of a lookout point in the middle of the forest, the best place around for views! They even brought a teapot, cups and great veggie food. It almost felt like a spiritual meeting, being so close to the sky. Cannot really be put in words.
At the end of the day we are very lucky to find a small shop, run from home by this great woman. After she finds out we are looking for a place to sleep, she tells us about this village campplace, which is not being used now. We can stay there for the night. It is located on the top of the hill, has a campfire place with wood provided! She also lents us a pot, bottleopener and a big container with water. On top of it all, we are spoiled with tasty plums from her own tree. How lucky are we! That night we enjoy a great meal cooked on the campfire...this is the life!
Tempted to stay here one more night, we decide to cycle some more instead. Lots of hills to conquer, but as always rewarded with great views. After an exhausting day of cycling we crash down at another abandoned campsite, making another campfire, while enjoying a well-deserved beer, given to us for free by this campsite owner, who is closing down for the season. Dekuji most! (thanks a lot). Then it is time to go back to the resort again...enough cycling for Roman haha
After a few days at the resort, I decided to go to Tabor for the weekend. Roman has to work over the weekend and I love to go to this medieval festival I have read about before. Of course it is much more fun to go the festival with local people, so I try to get in contact with someone via Couchsurfing. Luckily for me Mike and Nicola react positively to my request. I can come and stay with them, they also like to go the festival! I decide to cycle to them, as I have it with me, might as well use it and good to do the exercise at well haha
They live about 20km from Tabor in a great 120-year old house. Well kind of camping inside as still many things need to be done. They only just have running water installed. But is is great place with lots of potential. The old windows and tiled floor are very characteristic. The new roof giving it its own style. They want to use as many sustainable products as possible, a good initiative.

New on DVD: Bridesmaids
Finally, an R-rated romantic comedy from a woman's point of view.
Director: Paul Feig Rating: R Studio: Universal
It's high time someone reinvented the chick flick, which is exactly what producer Judd Apatow, director Paul Fieg, and writers Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig attempt to do with Bridesmaids—a raunchy romantic comedy that is strong enough for a man, but written by two women.
Co-writer Wiig plays Annie, a single thirtysomething woman living in Milwaukee whose life could be better—her bakery has failed, she's sleeping with a narcissistic playboy (Jon Hamm), she rents an apartment with two dim bulbs and she makes a living by selling engagement rings at a second-rate jewelry store. Annie's best friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph) is getting married and introduces Annie to her other bridesmaids, including cousin Rita (Wendi McLendon-Covey), idealist Becca (Ellie Kemper), crass future sister-in-law Megan (Melissa McCarthy) and princess-perfect Helen (Rose Byrne). Helen is the vain wife of Lillian's fiancé's boss, and her competitiveness with Annie to be a better friend to Lillian generates most of the laughs, like when the two keep swiping the mike from each other to out-toast Lillian at her engagement party or when Helen steals Annie's idea about a Parisian-themed bachelorette party.
As the competition between Annie and Helen escalates, so does the raunchiness. The centerpiece of this comedic buffet is when the gals chow down at a Brazilian restaurant, per Annie's suggestion, and take off to try on their gowns at an upscale boutique only to discover that they all have an unprecedented case of food poisoning, which results in a literally explosive situation in the dressing room. Lillian races into traffic in her wedding dress in a desperate attempt to locate the nearest restroom only to make do with squatting in the middle of the street—to gales of laughter from viewers who can't get enough poo jokes.
Wiig, who has been super funny on Saturday Night Live and Paul, steals scenes in Bridesmaids whether she is mixing sedatives with her cocktails and acting loony on a plane or desperately trying to get the attention of her would-be traffic cop boyfriend by continually driving past him and purposely breaking the law. The other actresses are equally game to turn up the R-rated humor, like when McCarthy makes a sexually aggressive pass at a federal marshal on a plane.
Writers Wiig and Mumulo have wrapped raunch and toilet humor around a female-centric comedy that, at its core, is about the ties that bind and being honest with yourself. The ladies push the light premise—and their luck—to the limit by stretching the film over two hours, but just when the movie seems to fall into the usual chick-flick trappings (shopping, pining for a man, obsessing about weddings), the movie hits you with something funny and unexpected. The filmmakers might not have completely reinvented the romantic comedy, but they disguised one in a way that pushes the genre in a different direction. Here's to hoping the next group pushes the rom-com over the edge.
Best extras: Both the unrated DVD and Blu-ray have a group audio commentary, a collection of the funniest improvised lines from the movie, deleted and extended scenes, a cheesy commercial for the jewelry store where Annie worked and a gag reel. The Blu-ray gets the last laugh with even more exclusive extras, including a behind-the-scenes featurette, more deleted and alternate scenes, plus another gag reel.

Arianny's Hot Bud Light Lime Spot
Arianny Celeste's sexy Bud Light Lime ad will knock you out.
Arianny Celeste looks great in just about any setting. She's been turning heads as a UFC Octagon Girl ever since 2006. Her Playboy pictorial in November 2010 dropped jaws. Now check out her latest gig as a spokesmodel for Bud Light Lime, the official sponsor of UFC 132. It introduced us to a new use for limes. It left little to the imagination. And it made us a bit thirsty.
See Arianny's Playboy pictorial in the Cyber Club, and be sure to watch UFC 132 on July 2 in Las Vegas, where the main event will feature the first bantamweight title fight between champion Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber. Arianny will be there strutting her stuff, too.

U. S. Attorney, Eastern District of Louisiana

United States Attorney
500 Poydras Street, Suite B210
New Orleans, Louisiana 70130
Kathy English (504) 680-3068
Another Former Orleans Parish School Employee Pleads Guilty in Federal Courts
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - Jim Letten, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana, James Bernazzani, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Patricia Vangilder, Special Agent in Charge, U. S. Department of Education, Office of Inspector General, announced today that TRYNITHA FULTON, age 27, pled guilty to federal felonies involving fraud and kickbacks in the Orleans Parish school system. FULTON pled guilty before U. S. District Judge Stanwood Duval to violations of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1951, the Hobbs Act and Hobbs Act Conspiracy. Each count carries a maximum statutory penalty of twenty (20) years incarceration.
The former employee of the Orleans Parish school system was charged with engaging in a kickback scheme whereby teachers, secretaries and para-educators received illicit monies they did not earn in the form of fraudulent payments for class hours not actually worked. In return for these illegal monies, the employees would and did kick back a portion of the amount of the illegal payments. The indictment charged that Fulton received approximately $2,660.00 of school system money in the extortion scheme. According to a plea letter filed in court, Fulton is expected to offer cooperation
FULTON was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury in December, 2004, along with three other defendants, Debra Harrison, Drena Clay and John Baker, Jr. Baker pled guilty on April 6, 2006 and is scheduled to be sentenced on July 12, 2006. Harrison and Clay are set for jury trial on July 31, 2006.
This brings the number of guilty pleas in the Orleans Parish School System investigation to twenty (20).
United States Attorney Jim Letten said, "Today's guilty plea, which represents the twentieth consecutive felony conviction arising out of this ongoing anti-corruption investigation into the management of the Orleans Parish School System, should serve as ample evidence that we are committed to ferreting out corruption wherever it exists and rebuilding this City. Indeed, the U. S. Attorney's Office, along with our law enforcement partners, remains dedicated to establishing and maintaining a functional zero tolerance for corruption."
In a separate case, it was also announced that JUAWANNE SCOTT, age 33, was sentenced by U. S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan to ten (10) months incarceration and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $39,000, as a result of her guilty plea for conspiracy to commit bank larceny and bank larceny involving the Orleans Public School Federal Credit Union. SCOTT, along with two other employees of the credit union, Sherry Wilkerson and Angela Williams, withdrew monies from dormant customer accounts and deposited the monies into their own accounts. They also processed checks they had written on their personal accounts without debiting their personal accounts.
Sherry Wilkerson and Angela Williams pled guilty on April 27, 2005 and are scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Berrigan on May 24, 2006.
These cases were investigated by Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigatoin assigned to the Public Corruption Squad, along with agents from the U. S. Department of Education, Office of Inspector General.
These cases were prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Carter K. D. Guice, Jr. and G. Dall Kammer of the Financial Crimes Unit, who will continue conducting this important corruption investigation

Hi guys!
I've been skating since I was little, but stopped for 2 years. Now, I've restarted, and doing pretty well; I've been competing in the Primary level, and can do up to a lutz. But in both competitions, I received last place, which was quite disappointing. :-\ My coach decided to completly redo my program, and put a Y-spiral AND a hydrablade in it. I'm sort of flexible (my spirals are a bit over 90 degrees) but my leg refuse to create that beautiful Y shape. I stretch every other day, for my spiral, but I was wondering if anyone had tips on stretching to get a Y lift. Also, for my hydroblade, anyone know stretches for the leg muscles so I can go lower? Thanks!

It can be harsh and unforgiving, but there's nothing else quite like the beauty of Australia's landscapes. Aqua pools, red rock and sweeping yellow desert: it's these elements Australian nature that formed the inspiration for Kuwaii's spring 2012/13 collection, titled Landscape.
Specifically it was a 1970s aerial photograph of a Queensland river system that started it all. From there, Designer Kristy Barber worked with prints and colours that reflect the beauty of the sunburnt country, paring back the bright hues with softer earthy and desert tones. Kuwaii's cuts are easy, breezy and modern; minimal silk dresses and draping spring trench coats definite highlights of the collection.
Featuring model Eliza Humble, you can view the full spring look book from Kuwaii by clicking on the thumbnails.

Bewertungen für andere Unterkünfte dieses Gastgebers
We stayed first 3 nights, then 4 nights more, because location is excellent, room is very clean and you have great view to Times Square. There is everything that you need in a room, and we slept very well, because no traffic noise.
Everything is very close (inside couple of hundreds of meters), lot of good restaurants, lot of different kind of shops and subway station. If you are foreigner, please try Korean rail pass and book it in advance from Korean rail website. It will be charged only if you take a ticket. Very cheap and easy way to take train outside the Seoul, ex. to Busan (300 km/h) If you use subway, taxi or buss, please buy t-money card, you can use it in all them, easily and with very reasonable prices.
Ken & Jen, thank you for your kind hospitality, next time we'll stay in this same place, no reason to take something else place.
Ken picked up us from bus and Jen helped us to bus in the morning when we left to airport!
We really recommend this place.
Best regards
Jouko, Anni and Eevi from Finland ! :)
Hola, solo decir que el alojamiento de Ken & Jen fue una experiencia genial. Todo estaba super bien distribuido, limpio y agradable. Ken es un chico magnifico, nos vino a buscar a la estación de autobuses y una vez llegado al apartamento nos explico todo el funcionamiento, nos recomendo sitios a los que ir a comer y las cosas que teniamos que visitar. En resumen un 10 :)

I just had my first experience with SHB in a weak hive I was trying to save. I've searched the archives but can't find anything on how to salvage damaged frames (with plastic core foundation.) Can I be reassured that freezing will kill all beetles, larvae, and eggs? And then how do you get rid of the slimy mess? It doesn't seem to scrape off very cleanly. Will a garden hose spray do it?
Will coumophos under cardboard work on screened bottom boards? Or would that be pointless if West traps were used? Is it over-kill to use West traps on bottom and also Beetle Blaster-type above?
I know I never want to find that kind of slimy mess again! In past I have often stored supers for a week or two awaiting enough for an extraction run. I shudder to think what would happen if those b******s got in them.

Bauersfeld new BrightSide Animal Center director
REDMOND, Ore. - The Board of Directors of BrightSide Animal Center is pleased to announce the promotion of Ms. Christine Bauersfeld to the position of Executive Director of the organization.
Chris has been employed at BrightSide (then Redmond Humane Society) for over four years as the Shelter Manager. In her new role, she will be responsible for all activities of the organization, reporting directly to the board.
Chris has over 30 years of experience as a Certified Veterinary Technician and has served on several shelter boards. In her time at the shelter, Chris has developed innovative sheltering solutions and a responsible admissions policy that results in one of the highest save rates in the country – 99% for dogs and 98% for cats in 2012. A community-based, volunteer-rich approach to BrightSide programs ensures one of the lowest shelter costs per animal in the State.
Mark Crose, President, Board of Directors, BrightSide Animal Center: "Chris has proven her outstanding ability to run the organization with the best interests of our animals and community as her focus. The Board of Directors is pleased that Chris has agreed to assume this new role and will support her as she brings her extensive experience and compassion for the animals and their families to our community. Chris has been instrumental in transitioning the organization from the old perception of what a shelter was to BrightSide's focus on equipping both animals and owners with the skills and training to leave our front doors together with a happy, secure future."
Christine Bauersfeld, Executive Director, BrightSide Animal Center: "I am excited to assume the role of Executive Director at BrightSide Animal Center. Over the past four years, the effort put forth by our board, staff and volunteers has resulted in an exemplary Shelter and an important resource for our community. I am proud to be a part of BrightSide and I'm confident the future holds even more promise for our organization."

Are GIAC (SANS) certifications too easy?
But, as some of you know, I am not a great expert at this. I have been studying non stop for about 2 years in IT security, but previous to that, I was just an humble web app developer.
So I manage to write two SANS certs WITHOUT taking their courses. In fact, other than for PWB, I have never taken a course in IT security. I did ok for GSEC and pretty good for GPEN.
I am posting on this topic because I was looking at certified GWAPT people. I was astonish by their marks (see attached picture)! Maybe a lot of them failed and we don't know about it, but the average mark seems to be around 90%!!
So the fact that I don't have much experience, I passed two of them without taking a course and that the average marks are pretty high make me wonder if it shouldn't be a close book exam...
But that being said, I worked pretty hard to get ready nevertheless...
What are your toughts on that?

ETSU president speaks to the media
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Thursday he was back on campus and Friday is Dr. Brian Noland's second anniversary as president of ETSU.
Noland was injured in a car crash back in November.
He spoke to the media about the school's future, the crash that left him with a serious neck injury and his recovery. "It's weird not wearing a tie," said Noland. "I haven't worn sweaters this much since I was in high school."
Dr. Noland managed some humor as he addressed reporters Thursday afternoon. "I have a broken transverse process on my C7 vertebrae," explained Noland. "I have numbness in my left hand, loss of strength in my tricep, and just the aches and pains of running into a telephone pole at a high rate of speed. But the primary injury is, in layman's terms, I have a broken neck."
The week before Thanksgiving, another driver ran a red light and T-boned Noland's SUV. The driver of the truck that hit Dr. Noland was cited for running a red light.
Dr. Noland has a message for everyone who gets behind the wheel. "I do think people need to stop texting, and start paying attention to the things going on around them," he said.
Now Dr. Noland says he is ready to move forward. His plans for the school include a laundry list of improvements and changes.
One of the biggest things he wants to focus on is the school's relationship with the community. The mini-dome will be part of that partnership -- Noland's goal is to turn it into a multi-purpose facility. "If we [install Astroturf in] this facility, which we will do, then on Friday and Saturday nights, why can't we play little league soccer and youth sports within in the facility?" he wondered.
Noland says he is grateful for all the support he's received during his tenure so far. Since the accident, he's asking for continued backing as the school gets ready to "kick off" some big things.

Reviews of this property
The apartment is absolutely great and the perfect place to stay in Florence.
It has everything you expect for a place to stay and much more. Besides bed an bathroom Adel provides cooking facilities and everything you need with it - even oil and spices. Also there is a washing maschine available.
There is A/C in the apartment so even during the hot days in the summer, you can come home and feel relaxed after having sweat all day in the city.
The location is perfect inside the old town of Florence, just a few minutes walk to any museum/place of interest in the city. Restaurant and supermarkets are close as well.
Adel is a great guy, very helpful, highly communicative and shares all the details you need for your stay in Florence.
I can highly recommend Adel and his apartment, it will be a great experience which you will never forget.
Adel is a very educated person and you received with much warmth and making it easier for everything related to the stay to make you feel at home.
It has been a pleasure to be in your accommodation during our vacation.
I recommend it.
Adell was great, very friendly and helpful, especially when i had a problem with my car and when everything was closed. I will remember this beautiful trip. Gracie mille!!!
What to say that hasn't been said already!
The apartment is perfectly located and is moments away from Santo Spirito, it suffices for a couple with everything you need on your doorstop.
Adel is courteous and helpful without in any way being intrusive.
Florence itself is breath-taking lay beautiful and I s the perfect location for a city break.
One word of caution, taxi drivers tend to overcharge: the cost to and from the airport is €20. Don't let them overcharge with all kinds of superfluous extras. It is illegal.
Enjoy Florence. We certainly did.
Great apartment! It has everything you need. Adel told much about the city, cafes, shops, restaurants... Adel excellent host
What a pleasure!
The apartment is cosy but comfortable and away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
Adel is the perfect host and always willing to offer advice including recommending a meal at Cafe Chicco which is a must and only a short walk from the apartment.
We would love to stay there again on our next visit to Florence.
Grazie Adel.
This apartment was perfect for the two of us. Great location in Florence. Just a short walk away to all the sights yet far enough away to not be in the thick of the tourists. We also just had to walk a block or so to catch the bus to take us to the train station. Pictures on the web matched exactly. Adel was a gracious host, he even taught me how to make Italian espresso using the stove top espresso maker. My husband and I am now addicted to Italian coffee. The apartment is well appointed with coffee, tea, soap,etc. Water pressure was really good. We would stay there again if we go back to Florence. Hopefully one day!
Me and my boyfriend have been guests of Adel for a few days and we loved it. The apartment is not very big, perfect for two people, but with everything you need. It is in a perfect location to enjoy the city in just a few minutes walk you can reach the main squares and is located in a quiet neighborhood. The owner is very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this accommodation.
Io e il mio ragazzo siamo stati ospiti di Adel per alcuni giorni e ci siamo trovati molto bene. L'appartamento non è molto grande, perfetto per due persone, ma dotato di tutto il necessario. Si trova in una posizione perfetta per godersi la città, in pochi minuti a piedi si raggiungono le piazze principali e si trova in un quartiere tranquillo. Il proprietario è molto gentile e disponibile. Consiglio vivamente questo alloggio.
Thank you Adel. We had a wonderful week in your apartment. It was very well appointed, we felt like it was a home away from home. The bed was very comfortable, great shower, great coffee and a good size living space. We also enjoyed being able to listen to yours and our music.
The location was very convenient, close enough to walk to all the tourist attractions, and train station, but also far enough away from the hustle of down town Florence. We also enjoyed the restaurants you recommended which were reasonably priced.
Only thing I would have liked in your apartment is a hair dryer (for people with lots of hair). But this was only a small matter.
We absolutely loved Adel and his apartment. It's in a quiet location, but an easy walk to the City Centre and Santo Spirito. If he gives you any advice/recommendations for your stay...take them! All his helpful tips worked out perfectly for us. He recommended a local spot for food... I think it was Cafe Chico or something like that. AMAZING food and half the price of anything else in Florence. The kitchen has everything you need. We went to the grocery store and cooked quite a bit. The apartment is much bigger in person than it seems online. Highly recommended!

text: I have been researching VSH bees and i think this will greatly assist Jamaica's apiculture. We are not allowed to import bees into the Island so many beekeepers turn to hard chemicals that just get more expensive and less effective over time. I would like to start assessing for VSH. I have already started breeding for hygenic bees by freeze method. i see that the VSH is a bit more tricky than just the normal hygenic. Please assist. please give whatever feedback or ideas you have. Anything will be something. Thank you very much

You can walk around it, but you can't venture in. Now that would have made all the difference, I mean, sometimes just looking is not enough.
We were there to watch the sunset, carrying our beers and wines, (ok, mine was whisky) to fully enjoy the moment.
Somehow I missed it. Not the sunset, but the magic. Unless you count the sun, bouncing and twirling a funny little dance, just before disappearing like a bright pink marble. Could it be mocking the spectators?
It must have been a trick of the eye cos no-one commented on this amusing little show
Driving back to the camp in the after-glow of sunset, the desert picked up colour, the harsh, grey-green plants reflecting soft pastels, a suprisingly delicate touch, the sand shimmering mysteriously, warm and golden.
It didn't last, but for a moment I saw the hidden beauty of the desert.
Maybe that was the sun's cryptic message: look for the magic when I'm gone.
And so it was, after all, an unforgettable, magical moment.

Taiwan journalists feel pressure as elections approach
Political tensions are rising in Taiwan ahead of local and municipal elections due at the end of November. The vote is expected to test the popularity of the ruling Kuomintang Party (KMT), which advocates greater integration with China and which earlier this year sparked protests when it tried to pass a new economic cooperation deal with the mainland. The vote also comes as the Taiwanese are closely watching how Beijing responds to pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.
