Re: Chat about Jamie's Food Revolution and connect with others
I just watched a news program in LA that was talking about how much the LAUSD was concerned about childhood obesity and has changed their lunch program. Ironically, they have brought a team of world class chefs on board, and have completely revamped the school lunch program. I know you didnt take them on for noteriety, but you brought this on and are responsible for this change. Thanks for taking on this important subject. And more importantly, the children will thank you.
Can't wait to see what you take on next!!

Re: Chat about Jamie's Food Revolution and connect with others
I'm writing from Northern California. I don't have TV so I just found Jamie's Food Revolution episode today and was so exited! I'm just here to give you a huge thanks for getting the word out! People are SO resistant to the whole subject and I have become very disheartened trying to get people to care and understand, I started to feel like I was crazy for caring. It's wonderful, to say the least, that you used your show to get this message out. I wish I could be a part of it on such a massive scale and I hope you really understand how much this has made a difference. Even for people that don't want to hear it, they can't pretend to be ignorant anymore. This has also helped me to know that this is becoming the enormous issue that it needs to be, and I am encouraged.
Thanks again.

My name is Kyle. I'm from Vancouver, Canada.
I am opening the first and only bowling alley in Kigali, Rwanda.
It isn't just a bowling alley, it is a public swimming pool with a sand volleyball court, a hot yoga studio, hair salon, restaurant and youth hostile. My problem is that the food in Rwanda is terrible, it is next to impossible to find a good cook that can put out consistent food.
We are getting busy already and the bowling alley and hostile isn't even complete until the middle of Sept.
I would love to have a chef take over and run the restaurant for me. Almost all of the restaurants in the country serve awful food and take a long time in doing so. There isn't a good quality restaurant serving health food anywhere in Rwanda. In short I have read about Jamie's school and I thought if any of the students wanted to run their own kitchen and be able to keep a majority of the profits, I have the right place.
It will be a great challenge and they would be starting with very basic kitchen tools.
The chef would have to know French, to communicate with most of the employees and source for the best ingredients. If anyone fits or knows someone that might fit pls. email me at kylephubbard at hotmail
Dear Kyle,
I'm interested in hearing a bit more about your bowling alley. Sound very interesting; the first in Rwanda.. That is so cool. I'm a Danish journalist and I'm trying to do en item on this. I would be thrilled to get in touch with you..

Re: Chat about Jamie's Food Revolution and connect with others
I want some help with fighting against bad stories of JO on Weibo ( Chinese Twitter ).It seems he is a hot item now because he is around here and the bad pictures of a very fat JO are on the Weibo for show and spitting on.Maybe he is abit more fat now ( what would not be very smart and good for a campain like this ) but i dont believe it.
I dont take it lightly because ther are more people on Weibo then on twitter and whats on it most people believe.
Ofcourse it saying something about the people who think bad about him but i wish to put up a picture that shows difrent ( recent picture) because i think its not a fair fight and i suspect the industry or some people that dont think good food is needed behind it.
i hope you want to help me and agree that its not fair to do.

lemonman... is there anyway you can post a link to an example of the picture you are talking about? I do know Jamie dressed up in a prosthetic "fat suit" a few years ago as part of something he was doing. Basically the things they use in the movies to make thin people look heavier. I wonder if that is the pictures that are being used.

Hi everyone,
You might have seen the recent news all about 'Pink Slime' remaining in school lunches and being in as much as 70% of all ground beef found in supermarkets in the US. On the back of this we've just launched a web page in support of all of the great work being done around this topic: http://www.stoppinkslime.org/
So head on over to check it out and take a stand, because we deserve REAL food!

Re: Chat about Jamie's Food Revolution and connect with others
Hi, Firsty I want to say what a fantastic job the food revolution is doing. This is the first time I have posted and I am not sure if it will spark discussion on this forum but I have been really concerned that schools and childcare providers are still scaring/forcing children to continue eating and "finish everything on their plate" . Surely this is wrong/out of date, particularly with the obesity issues the UK is facing. I have come across two separate organisations last week - one a school and one an after school club where staff are putting huge amounts of pressure on children to finish all their food. I would go as far as to say that it is against children's human rights!
I also came across a school where they are advertising for "Dinner Controllers" rather than dinner ladies. This maybe making sure they are not discriminating against men but "Controllers" certainly sets the wrong expectations!

Re: Chat about Jamie's Food Revolution and connect with others
I wanted to share this news article I found today and thank Jamie for it. If it wasn't for his Food Revolution, the United States would not be making these changes in school lunches. Thank you for all you've done Jamie!
Well I just registered today and it will not let me post the link to the article. It's in today's L.A. Times and it's called "Schools eat up challenge of new federal nutrition standards". I'm sure if you search for it you will find it.

UTSA tests card-reader soda machines
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Nov. 29, 2006)--The UTSA Office of Auxiliary Services has installed 20 soda machines at the 1604 Campus that accept payment by UTSACard.
UTSA community members can use Rowdy Dollars on their UTSACards to purchase drinks from the specially equipped machines. To make a purchase, swipe your UTSACard through the reader, make your beverage selection, pick up your soda and your card balance will be displayed on the machine panel.

Installed on a trial basis, the card-reader machine locations are:
- John Peace Library Building food court
- University Center first-floor airport lounge
- Humanities and Social Sciences Building second and third floors
- Multidisciplinary Sciences Building computer lab
- Business Building second and third floors
- Main Building first floor
"The card-reading machines are being beta-tested to assess the demand for this special service," said Corinne Vela-Zapata, UTSA director of auxiliary services. "We are always looking for ways to better serve our customers, and if these soda machines are a hit, we will consider adding more around the campuses."
As of Dec. 15, the price of beverages from UTSA vending machines will increase from $1 to $1.25.
For more information, contact the UTSACard office at (210) 458-4639.------------------------------
More about the UTSACard
- The UTSACard is an all-in-one card that is the official identification card for UTSA students and employees. It can be used as a debit card to pay for everything from on-campus meals to tuition.
- The UTSACard is used by students to participate in the meal plan program, to make rent payments for the University Oaks and Chisholm Hall residence facilities, and to pay for Chaparral Village laundry services.
- For the entire UTSA community, the card allows access to other UTSA services such as copy machines, Fiscal Services, library fine payment, bookstores and tickets at the University Center information desk.

Food Stylists ??
Just watched the latest Jamie@Home - and noticed the credits.
Why on earth did Jamie need 3 Food Stylists, and a Senior Food Stylist to produce the series?
WTF is a Food Stylist anyway?

Re: Food Stylists ??
I'm guessing the food stylists make the dishes more presentable for when they're doing artsy shots.

Re: Food Stylists ??
Hi Geoff!
ok, where to begin! Food stylists are an integral part of any food magazine/ book/ publication/ programme. They are there to prepare, cook and 'style' the food that is being demonstrated, photographed and filmed. Also, on some occassions, they test the recipes and organise the props.
With regards to 'Jamie at Home', it was filmed at a rate of 1 programme per day. As you can imagine there is a lot of filming, re-takes etc which is then edited down to 1 x 30 minute programme.
At every stage of the recipe Jamie will need to have ingredients ready and prepared to that particular stage, this is where the food stylist gets involved. You need one food stylist to be on set with Jamie to watch him and keep tabs on what he is doing for continuity (make sure that with every re-take the process looks the same, fluid) then someone needs to be on hand for running, then you need on average 1 or 2 stylists to prepare the food, cook each recipe to each level, clear away etc.
The difference with Jamie, compared to a lot of celebrity chefs, he gets very involved with the styling, he has the control on style, and styling the dishes and works along side the senior food stylist.
I hope that makes a little more sense! when i first started working in TV i couldnt believe how many people work backstage to ensure smooth running of filming etc, but it is incredible and very much needed so that filming goes as smoothly as possible. if you look at the credits for other large budget cookery shows you'll notice then use on average 3-4 food stylists/ home economists also.

Re: Food Stylists ??
Soooo....it's a fancy word for a go-for?
I've worked (if you'd call it that) as an extra a couple of times, there are always loads of people around. You know you are low on the rung when you only get the 4th assistant director talking to you.
#5 Wed 10 Oct 07 1:55pm
Re: Food Stylists ??
its so true!
but nope, there are also people who are employed as 'runners'. these people literally run around, getting things, teas, coffees, fetching things, etc etc...
the job of an assistant food stylist is similar to a runner but specifically for food and the head stylist/ home-economist. There is quite a lot of cooking and food know-how involved.
the day can vary from chopping, washing up, cooking up several of each dish, collecting props, sorting flowers etc...

Re: Food Stylists ??
There is so much behind the set on these types of things, I helped out on a few scenes for a local indie film. Whilst it's low budget they still had a behind the scenes cam operator, someone to hold the boom mic (which was me aswell as a runner), camera operators, the script guy was there, lighting assistant and of course the director.

Re: Food Stylists ??
Thanks for the explanation Georgie!
I was surprised about two things - the name / job description of "Food Stylist" and the number of people so employed, given the "accessible" nature of Jamies cooking.
As a comparison, I looked at what is very much a parallel series "James Martin Digs Deep". JM is in much the same position as JO (experienced TV chef and novice gardener, demonstrating that it is possible to grow and cook your own food, using your own kitchen garden). Sometimes even the recipes parallel esch other!
The "cast list" for "J M Digs Deep" does indeed include a "Home Economist" - just the one, and she is sometimes heard on the set.
What struck me rather forcibly was the contrast betweem Jamies style of "down home" cooking, accessible to anyone, and the apparent necessity to have a large staff to present the food!
Perhaps I am just too unsophisticated (being a Northerner), but it did seem to me that employing "Food Stylist" somehow devalued the series.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the series - but felt very uncomfortable with the idea that Food Stylists were apparently necessary.
I assume, though that Janmie is actually cooking in his own home, with produce from his own garden - or am I wrong about that too
#8 Wed 10 Oct 07 3:49pm
Re: Food Stylists ??
no, not at all!! please dont be disheartened... we are very lucky, as Jamie's garden really does have an immense amount of produce and everything you saw did actually come from there
its different for different shows... I can't comment on JM's show as i havent seen it, but the programme that followed Jamies, 'cook yourself thin' also had 4 food stylists. Both big budget Channel 4 shows...
Jamie is great in a sense that he styles his own food, so what you see him doing is actually him it really is accessible! but as you can imagine, if he is showing you how to slow cook a leg of lamb, they cant wait for 4 hours to come back to the shot once it is ready, there needs to be a 'ready dish' ready and waiting. This is where the home economist steps in. If he is making a cake, there needs to be a baked cake ready to come out of the oven. If the production process waited for every recipe to bake/ cook/ roast/ it would be an incredibly lengthy process. each programming could take days!
also, with regards to the title, Food Stylist is a funny one sometimes refered to as Home Economists (more traditional) a FS is literally what it says on the tin. Someone who cooks the food and makes it look nice

City officials tell us where snow on the road goes
BOZEMAN, Mont. - Do you know where the snow goes?
"I actually have no idea where all the snow goes."
It was a common response from most Bozeman residents but not from Kate Ciari.
"Well, I have a couple ideas. I believe that it goes by the fairgrounds. The road department has a place where they dump snow and then, also, out by the softball fields on Haggerty Lane," replied Ciari.
She's right about both. The spot at the fairgrounds is one city workers can hit for small loads near the City Shops Complex. The dump on Haggerty Lane sees thousands of yards of snow every year.
"We need a place to put the next storm so, if we don't, it's just going to keep building in the middle so, the lanes get smaller, less room, it meets over the side walk," says Bozeman Street Superintendent John Van Delinder.
Yet, it hasn't been a busy year for hauling snow, thusfar. While Van Delinder says they've already hauled more snow than last year, he says their challenge this season has been the scattered, small storms. That's meant less hauling and plowing and more sanding.
"We've got to get a lot of people out there and quickly. Get the stop signs sanded, the signals sanded, the hills on Highland and Kagy sanded...With a big storm, we know we're out plowing. These, we just got to go out and sand every intersection, trying to help people stop, give them some traction," says Van Delinder.
In fact, they've already used a winter's worth of sand.
"We had to order some more but, luckily, the local gravel pit keeps it in stock so, we're able to get it," explains Van Delinder.
Van Delinder says they'll continue to spread sand, seeing that snow is sticking around and keeping roads slick, but it will be a while before his team sets out to haul snow again.
"When it gets to about two feet and it's hard to get out of your car on the passenger side, that's when we have to haul snow and 3am's the only time we can do it before cars get there," says Van Delinder.
The City of Bozeman's night and weekend crews are responsible for hauling snow from side streets downtown and around the schools. The State of Montana removes snow from Main Street.

Reviews of this property
Very good welcome from Gabriel. Nice room in a nice apartment. Trips to London without difficulties (subway and bus) of shops and restaurants nearby.
Très bon accueil de la part de Gabriel. Belle chambre dans un bel appartement. Déplacements vers Londres sans difficultés (métro et bus) Des commerces et restaurants à proximité.
The place was lovely- very clean, very Special, very comfortable! Gabriel is a very friendly and helpful host. We enjoyed talking to him, when he was there (which he isn' t very often!).
The tube line was close but didn' t run during the Bank Holidays over Easter. The replacement bus took much more time. Another small flaw: If you are used to standing while taking showers you might get a problem, because the beautiful antique bath tub only allows you to sit while showering...
I was there with my friend for 3 days and it was absolutely great! The apartment and decoration is amazing!
Gabriel is an excellent host with good advices and very friendly and courteous.
We immediately felt at home :-)
We would absolutely stay there again at any time.
A charming place to stay and a charming host. A comfortable, clean and stylish apartment to return to. Thank you. Cheers Rosalie and Jude
Perfect. I had an excellent stay with Gabriel. The room and appartment very well located in a nice quarter of Willesden. Shops and restaurants nearby and a few minutes from the tube station. Great value for the demanded price. Gabriel is a perfect host, very kind and helpfull. I strongly recommend him.
we stayed 5 days at Gabriels home, the first time in a privat accomodation, the first time for my son in London.We felt very much at home, the flat was as shown on wimdu, very nice, very clean, room had plenty of daylight, we slept very good in this cosy bed, the kitchen was very well equiped and nice to sit in, the bathroom very clean and as you can see on the photos very nice ( my only personal inconvenience was the fact that I couldnt stand for taking a shower, which I like very much, you had to squat or sit down due to the wooden floor and no curtain).
Gabriel is a very friendly and helpful host, a nice person, all in all a very good place.
Me and my son had a lovely stay. Gabriel made us feel perfectly at home. The apartment is very near the tube in a nice building. Thanks!
Our trip to London was great. The weather was perfect, the people who we met there were cool and last but not least the provided accommodation was amazing. Our host Gabriel was so polite and helpful. His home is so charming and providing absolutely everything that you need. Big enough room, clean bathroom, free wi-if, kitchen appliances, zone 2 tube station and gorgeous atmosphere. Wish everybody has such great experience. Thank you Gabriel.

Binghamton University to open new Decker Student Health Services Center
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Binghamton University will host a grand opening celebration of the Decker Student Health Services Center from 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, January 18.
A $1.5 million gift from the Dr. G. Clifford and Florence B. Decker Foundation was used to fund renovations and upgrades to the Health Services Center, thereby enhancing health care services to students and strengthening relationships with local healthcare agencies.
The building that houses the University Health Service maintains its current footprint and will now be able to serve students more efficiently due to the renovation of the Decker Student Health Services Center. The entire facility, built in 1966 as a 34-bed infirmary and outpatient clinic, was originally designed to accommodate a student enrollment of 6,000 students. Today, Binghamton's current and growing student population of close to 15,000 has outgrown the facility. The expansion and renovation of clinical space resulting from the Decker funding has increased capacity for direct clinical care appointments, as well as provided space for additional practitioners.
During the celebration tours will be given of the remodeled space.

Warren Haynes goes Voyage-Air
Warren Haynes is one of the hardest-working musicians in the biz. He's on the road all the time, playing everywhere with a variety of bands, and overall his music is just plain GREAT.
Numerous bands have claimed Warren - past and present. He's played with bands like: Government Mule, Allman Brothers, The Dead, and Greatful Dead's bass-meister: Phil Lesh.
Notorious for sharing the stage with other musicians, Haynes has played with Dave Matthews, Kid Rock, Jimmy Herring, Jackie Greene, metal icon Jason Newsted and South African Vocalist Vusi Mahlasella. Whoa!
Still never heard of him? Warren Haynes has been named the 23rd greatest guitarist of all time (out of the top 100) by Rolling Stone magazine, and YES - that's a frackin-hard 'Top 100' list to break into!
In addition to performing, Haynes composes hit songs. Garth Brooks teamed up with Haynes to co-write a number-one hit that stayed on the charts for twenty weeks.
His Voyage-Air guitar? It's a VAOM-1C (OM-style, Premiere Series) and he keeps it on his tour bus. It's packed and ready to go wherever he does.
Cool guy. Great music. Voyage-Air? YES. Click here for Warren's website.

Hi people,
I'm still a newbie to TDH but I would like to solicit some advice you lot. I was wondering if anyone has made a Boba helmet in a post sarlacc form? As in, just-blew-it-up-and-now-lying-in-the-dune-sea kind of thing.
From what I remember of the Bounty Hunter Wars (and please correct me if i'm wrong) , Fett's helmet was still functional and he continued to wear it for a while, unlike the majority of his armour which was useless.
My question is two part;
1) Has anyone made one of these before? (i.e. with extensive acid scarring etc...)
2) Are there any illustrations out there in comics/fan fiction that anyone knows about that I could use as some kind of reference.
Cheers in advance.

Ken Germano, President of ACE, touched on the important topic of obesity prevention and the of lack of physical activity in our society; Dr. Cedric Bryant, ACE chief exercise physiologist, covered nutritional supplements and professional scope-of-practice concerns; Graham Melstrand, ACE director of educational services, spoke on the important topics of credentialing, accreditation and professional benefits; and Sabrena Newton, fitness consultant, educator and author, discussed how to attract more club members to group fitness activities.
"We were very excited to not only provide a forum for discussion of the latest in fitness, but also to hear feedback from all of our professionals on the challenges and the successes that they encounter on a daily basis," said Germano.
Guests enjoyed a healthy lunch and received a duffle bag compliments of SPRI Products, a leading distributor of rubber resistance-exercise products and fitness accessories. Also included in the bags were ACE products, fitness gear and literature.

My honeybees pollinate most of my vegetables and berries but ignore my okra, tomatoes, beans, peppers, and strawberries. My okra is pollinated by a native black bee, July-September, similar in size to honeybees but a much quicker flier. Any idea what bee this is? Any native bees help pollinate tomatoes, beans, peppers, strawberries? I live in South Central Kansas with ph 7 heavy clay soil. Thanks!

Ilesanmi, Olukemi. "Glenn Ligon." In Bits & Pieces Put Together to Present a Semblance of a Whole: Walker Art Center Collections, edited by Joan Rothfuss and Elizabeth Carpenter. Minneapolis, MN: Walker Art Center, 2005.
© 2005 Walker Art Center
Glenn Ligon troubles the waters with work that challenges assumptions about race, gender, sex, and citizenship using history as his oar: "If I have a well to dip into, it's filled with almost four hundred years worth of permutations of what blackness has meant and speculations on what it might mean in the future."1 Drawing on an art-historical lineage that includes Andy Warhol and Adrian Piper, his practice is conceptually driven and embraces painting as well as printmaking, photography, and installation. He often appropriates, reconfigures, and recontextualizes culturally loaded materials, particularly literary excerpts from the likes of Ralph Ellison, Zora Neale Hurston, and James Baldwin. Making possible a sustained dialogue across past and present, black and white, he stubbornly locates American history in the persistent now.
Ligon's series Runaways (1993) references the unmistakable stain of American slavery while also calling into question the nature of identity and the power of language to capture it. On black-and-white lithographs, in a style combining the format of runaway slave posters with highly symbolic illustrations of the abolitionist movement, the artist presents ten distinct descriptions of himself supplied by ten friends asked to pretend they were filing a missing persons report. Each starts simply with the phrase "Ran away, …" Surprisingly, these twentieth-century verbal accounts mimic the text of actual fugitive slave posters, offering physical descriptions that bring to mind auction blocks. One short piece ends with the racially and historically weighted phrase "Nice teeth." Yet adequate and stable definitions prove to be a moving target as Ligon's skin color is described variously as "black," "pretty dark-skinned," and the nuanced "medium complexion (not 'light skinned,' not 'dark skinned,' slightly orange)." The power of language, oral and written, often gives a visceral quality to his work, at once revelatory, inadequate, confining, and slippery. After all, he seems to remind us, something as complex as a human being cannot be captured in mere words, whether on a slave poster or a modern-day newscast reporting a criminal suspect.
Confronting race and its American twin obsession of masculinity, Ligon collaborated with Byron Kim on Rumble Young Man Rumble (Version #2) in 1993. It is a standard-issue punching bag on which is stenciled a poetic speech by champion boxer Muhammad Ali that begins: "Everything that the so-called Negro do in America seem to be the best, the greatest. So what's wrong with him saying he is the greatest when everything in America that has been made the greatest has been painted and colored white?" It is a call to rhetorical arms that one can read in full only by circling the sculpture, almost like a fighter dancing around the ring. Language becomes image and performative catalyst, the basic requirements of being black and male in America, which are perfectly captured in the persona of Ali. The metaphorical power of text is further explored in Ligon's Untitled (Stranger in the Village #16) (2000), a monochromatic painting with a layer of black coal dust obscuring a passage from James Baldwin's "Stranger in the Village." The 1953 essay relates Baldwin's experience of being an American and an African American in a foreign land. The painting's dense and textured surface of luminescent black with just a hint of warm red beneath—evidence of an abandoned work—alludes to the ever-shifting nature of identity and race. As is his trademark, Ligon presents language just on the edge of illegibility, playing hide-and-seek with our ability to break the code and read the script.
With Malcolm X, Sun, Frederick Douglass, Boy with Bubbles (version 2) #1 (2000), Ligon makes a radical formal shift with a cacophony of colorful strokes different from anything he's done before. This painting is the end result of a multilayered process whereby the artist gave young children coloring-book sheets to fill in, which he then copied on a larger scale in his studio. The images were collaged from various black-themed coloring books from the 1970s, a time of immense promise for black America. According to Ligon, the paintings in this series "are about breaking free of constraints by using children's drawings and inhabiting their casual, indifferent relationship to the images and the whole project of liberation that those images were about in the first place. The paintings are hovering in that space between meaning a great deal and meaning nothing."2 This piece is a fascinating history lesson spanning a great African American orator of the nineteenth century and a political martyr of the twentieth, then veering into the seemingly trivial concerns of a black child blowing bubbles and a vocabulary lesson on the letter S. Thus, the playing field is leveled as Ligon presents each element as equally relevant to the full story of blacks in America. Perhaps rightly so, since in the 1970s representations of blacks simply living life—blowing bubbles, strolling—were as radical and necessary as those of fiery revolutionaries, and remain so. Again, the artist presents history as a compelling force in contemporary times.
"People are trapped in history," Baldwin wrote, "and history is trapped in them."3 In Ligon's practice, each work is a Rorschach test that drives us to reengage with what we thought were stable moments and meanings safely ensconced in the past. To encounter his work is to enter an ambiguous yet metaphorically rich space of unresolved questions swirling around the complexity of humanity, which is colored, gendered, and ever evolving. At first, we each see what our own personal biographies and attendant limitations allow us to see; then, he encourages us to look past the familiar for those inevitable marks of transformation that bring history past into history present.

The Bobcats, who were once themselves a top 25 team, have slipped a bit, losing 2 of the last 3 contests including a loss a week ago to Bowling Green. But make no mistake, the Bobcats present a formidable challenge for Coach Pete Lembo and the Ball State Cardinals.
The Bobcats are another of the MACs strong offensive units, which sports an equally efficient ground and passing attack. The Bobcats also don't turn the ball over, with just 5 total on the season.
The passing attack is led by 4th year Jr. Tyler Tettleton, who has thrown for 2,045 yards and 16 touchdowns to just 2 interceptions on the year. Tettleton, who is a superb athlete, also can make noise with his legs and has ran for 198 yards and 4 touchdowns. Tettleton will throw spread the ball around to a group of 7 players with double digits in receptions – the leader of which is Donte Foster. The 6-1 R-Jr. has hauled in 42 passes for 518 yards and 7 TDs. Second on the list is 6-2 Bakari Bussey, who has 30 receptions for 266 yards.
The Bobcats also ground out rushing yards in chunks (208.6 yards per game) and are led by R-Jr. RB Beau Blankenship. The 5-9 202 bowling ball has ran for 1,225 yards (almost 5 yards a carry) and 8 touchdowns and also adds 18 receptions for 170 yards and a receiving touchdown. Blankenship is spelled by true Freshman scat back Daz'mond Patterson, a 5-6 178 blur, who has gobbled up 5.7 yards a rush and racked up 131 yards.
The always tough Ohio defense has allowed just 22.8 points a game and gives up 377.5 total yards per contest. The opportunistic Bobcats have also forced 20 turnovers – 2 a game on average.
The Bobcat defense is led by 6-0 219 R-Jr. MLB Keith Moore who has 80 tackles including 3 ½ for loss and a sack. Moore also has 2 INTs and a fumble recovery on the season.
Ohio doesn't have one key guy that puts consistent pressure on opposing QB's, they do it as a unit. 6-3 315 NG Neal Huyhn has the team lead with just 2.5 sacks, but 15 others have posted at least a ½ sack this season and the unit has 20 total on the season.
As mentioned before, the Bobcats cause 2 turnovers a game and Nickel Nate Carpenter has been a big part of that. Not only does the R-So. Have 2 INTs but he also has 2 fuble recoveries and has 44 tackles and a sack on the season.
Ohio is typically strong on special teams despite a few uncharacteristic bumps last week against Bowling Green. The unit is led by R-Jr. PK Matt Weller, who has connected on 18 of 25 FGs and all 40 PATs on the season. Fr. Punter Grant Venham has been solid with 38.8 yards per kick with 20 downed inside the 20 yard line.
On the other side of the ball, the Ball State Cardinals roll out a continuingly improving defense that is coming off what might have been its best half of football last game against Toledo. The Cardinals defensive unit rose to the occasion and held the high-powered Rockets to just 10 points in the second half to help preserve the Cardinals upset victory on the road.
Overall the Cardinals have given up 471.3 yards and 32.7 points a game on the season.
Ball State defense is led by Sr. MLB Travis Freeman, who is tied for 8th in the nation in tackles per game and has 107 total. Adding to the mix is Sr. LB Tony Martin, who has 71 tackles along with a sack, an INT and a 54 yard fumble recovery/return.
The Cardinal secondary has bee led by So. Eric Patterson's 2 picks, but also solid coverage by Jr. Jeffery Garrett.
R-Jr. Jonathan Newsome, who has 6 sacks on the season, has led the Cardinal pass rush along with Jr. DT Nathan Ollie (3 sacks). Ball State, as a team, has had 14 sacks including two in critical moments last week.
The Ball State offense has been one of the MAC's best by putting up 33.7 points on 470.5 yards per contest.
The offense is led by Jr. QB Keith Wenning, who has thrown for 2,705 yards and 20 TDs this season while completing almost 65% of his attempts.
Wenning's favorite targets have been So. WR Willie Snead, who has pulled in 73 receptions (which is tops in the MAC) for 946 yards and 6 touchdowns, and R-Jr. Jamill Smith. The 5-8 138 WR has 64 receptions for 670 yards and 6 touchdowns and is also a top notch special teams performer – with 14.7 yards per punt return and 25.1 yards on kick off returns.
The Cardinals ground game is a three-headed machine led by So Jahwan Edwards. The 5-10 230 RB has carried the ball for 1,054 yards (5.8 per carry) and 10 touchdowns. He is spelled by the duo of powerback Barrington Scott (374 yards and a TD) and the speedy Horatcio Banks (370 yards and 3 TDs in 8 games).
As always, Ball State has a solid special teams unit led by a pair of national award finalists.
Sr. P Scott Kovanda has averaged 41.2 yards per kick and has pined the opponent inside the 20 yard line 22 times this season. Kovanda is a semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award for the nation's best punter.
PK Steven Schott, also a Sr., is a Lou Groza Award Semifinalist and has made 22 of 27 field goals and 37 of his 38 PATs.
Prediction: The Cardinals are flying high off of an upset victory and will be squaring off against an Ohio team reeling from a pair of losses in the past 3 games. The Cardinals, at home, will be wearing their black jerseys for the first time in school history and hope for a packed house on national television. Look for the Cardinals to come out with loads of energy and come away with a hard fought victory – Ball State 37, Ohio 28.

"Made In the UK: Contemporary Art from the Richard Brown Baker Collection," a survey of post-World War II British art at the RISD Museum (224 Benefit Street, Providence, through January 8), arrives as British artists are the top of the pops. When British figurative painter Lucian Freud died at age 88 in July, The Washington Post said he was "often considered the greatest living master of the human form." Team Britain also includes Banksy, regarded by many to be the greatest living street artist; Andy Goldsworthy, a preeminent land artist; and Damien Hirst, the sensational self-promoter best known for a 1991 artwork consisting of dead shark floating in a formaldehyde-filled tank that he poetically dubbed The Physical Impossibility of Death In the Mind of Someone Living.
Ben Nicholson's 1955 still-life of a glass on a table is a cubist-flavored abstraction, but in contrast to Picasso's brawling cubism, Nicholson's approach is fine lines floating on flat shapes, all delicate and refined.
Artists here like Peter Blake and Richard Hamilton pioneered Pop art in the '50s — before Americans figured it out. But the finest work in that mode is David Hockney's 1964 acrylic painting Plastic Tree Plus City Hall, featuring a cartoony palm tree in flat greens and red against a brushy blue and gray background that could be sky or a parody of Abstract Expressionism. White bubbles between the tree and a realist rendering of Los Angeles' City Hall (Hockney has long been based there) make it look like the tree is thinking of the building, and vice versa. And it reveals Hockney's long interest in teasing the conventions of representation.
The '70s feature photorealist works like John Salt's striking 1979 painting of wrecked autos and Margaret Priest's 1972 pencil drawing of a theater that verges on abstraction in the manner of Jazz Age British Vorticists or the op-art of Bridget Riley. Riley is represented by three works, the best of which is a striped 1965 screenprint that plays perspective games that just hint at the eye-popping illusions of depth in her best abstractions. Howard Hodgkin's 1972 painting Moonlight might be an abstracted sunset and rainbow that spills from the panel over the frame with hot, humming colors.
Hamish Fulton's portfolio of nine screenprints commemorates nature walks in Scottish mountains in the '80s and '90s ("No talking for 7 days in a wood February full moon"; "Geese flying south . . . counting 396 barefoot paces on one deer path"). They document Fulton's unique meld of land art and performance (it can be seen as a pioneer of psychogeography) as poetic broadsides.

Sunday, February 24
Thestar Sangsimaewgym def. Yodsiam Sor. Chokamnuay by decision.
Sarawut Pitakpapardaeng def. Angkor Saenpalangchai by decision.
This past week was pretty short on stoppages but the elbow that Uiseowpor stopped Wuttichai with was a thing of beauty. Uiseowpor hurt Wuttichai in the first round with punches and also had Wuttichai's leg visibly hurt at the end of the first round. In the second, Uieseowpor countered Wuttichai trying to grab the clinch with a solid right elbow that ended the fight.
Saeksan vs. Singtongnoi was the main event of Thursday's big show. It wasn't as crazy as their other fights but was still a solid fight. Saeksan outclinched Singtongnoi to get the win. Pakorn, who also won on the card, would be a great opponent for either Saeksan or Singtongnoi.
Two excellent really young fighters also won on Thursday, in Saengmanee and Prajanchai. Saengmanee is at 115lbs now and still dominated Inzeekao. Prajanchai's also put on a really good performance with clean and well timed round kicks.
Another rematch took place on Friday with Pornsaneh vs. Kwankao. This one went a lot different than their previous encounter, which Pornsaneh won by stoppage. Pornsaneh didn't win by stoppage this time but he still won a decision, though Kwankao managed to land a lot of clean, hard knees in the process.
Sarawut won the Channel 7 108lb title in his fight with Angkor and showcased some brilliant technical maneuvers. Sarawut does some really small, subtle things when it comes to evasion and distance excellently. He has great timing, tossing Angkor a ton of times.

Want to Sponsor or Help with a Kids Fishing Event?
General Considerations for Sponsoring or Hosting a Kids Fishing Event
One of the first things that you should consider when planning an event is "who", as in who is your target audience and who will attend. Closely related to this is consideration of "how many", as in how many participants might attend and how many you can successfully accommodate.
Event Site Selection
Having a suitable site for your event is also an important consideration when planning your KFE. If you are planning on using your own facilities or resources then your site selection process will be simpler. If you do not have a facility available then you will need to locate one.
Event Sponsorships
Pooling of resources and involving other groups can be a great way to spread the workload of organizing and hosting a KFE.
Event Publicity
To attract participants and volunteers you will need to get the word out about your event.

All high-quality holsters are made for individual pistols, and generally cannot be used with something else.
Many cheap, poorly-made fabric holsters are "one size fits all."
My experience leads me to suggest that you are going in the wrong direction.
You own two fairly expensive pistols, but you want to skimp on their holsters. That seems foolish.
I strongly suggest that you invest at least $100.00 in each of two well-made and properly fitting holsters made specifically for the guns you own. I also suggest that you spend a further $50.00-to-$75.00 on a proper, stiff belt on which to carry them.

Just for the record Daven....having a few too many and then lying down in your racing car bed does NOT equate to drunk driving.

I crack myself up! (Yet again)

ok, that was pretty amusing

Can't remember if you were around for the "racing car references" for Daven several years ago. It actually might have been before this thread started.

I dont recall the original reference, but I have seen it mentioned many times lol

Okay how many of you women or men leaving ugly comments about this woman's weight have ever had a baby? And if you have how long did it take you to lose your baby weight???? I doubt for most average women the baby weight just falls off as soon as you leave the hospital. It takes months to lose the weight and get down to your normal size and that's if you can get back. Some people remain a little more hippy after having a child and never go back to being the way that they were. She is just like any woman and that's y I like to see that She didn't bounce back like some super models or actresses. She is just like any other "regular" woman who has to work out and diet to lose the weight post baby. She is a human being and so am I and so are you. We all struggle with some kind of insecurity no matter how a person look like ,and bless be to god that we don't have to deal with it in the public eye rather we want the attention on us or not. Most of you if you met her in person would be gushing all over her telling her how great She looks for just having a baby ,so just stop with the negativity about her weight and gain some positive body image about your selves,because NO ONE with any self confidence would be dogging any one out celebrities or not if they had any confidence, and if I am wrong how about you put a pic up so we all could see what YOU are working with.

First of all, as a woman with principals, I do not think she should be 'flaunting' Her still 'leaking' mammary glands. Very distastefull of any woman who does this.
second, am I the only one who has noticed that it looks like she has don plastic surgery on her face? check it out closely, nose, eyes, cheeks and plumper lips. She is very smart by covering this up with the blond hair, which incidently does not complement her, but it commoflages her surgery, this is why we did not see her for months. Bet u she had a tummy tuck too…

why does she think her blubbery fat udders flopping out are distracting from how huge the rest of her is? the only thing she has lost was the actual baby and placenta-and whatever they scraped in a tummy tuck that didn't help that much-she was only hiding because she obviously got a nose job -shot up her lips before and then after she had the baby-botox-skin strip, peels and that blood ritual -gross and a tummy tuck-why she was at her mom's -so she could be nurse maided while laid up and it would be a controlled situation

yeah…I noticed it. Misplaced nipples…..maybe the implants are shifting…..her lips are seriously injected. Why ? she is too young for that ! she has a beautiful face but fooling with it may change it the next few years and not for the better. Poor girl…..her priorities are in the wrong places.

Her blonde hair looks awful, and she still needs to drop about 30 lbs. She used to be attractive before she started having lip injections, nose jobs and whatever else she's done to herself. There was no reason to leave her premature baby behind. She became famous, or should I say infamous, for making a porno with Ray J. Why does anybody think she's special? She's a ho, plain and simple.

Kim is blessed (by God) with beauty and truth be told many of the negative comments are because in some way the commenters desire some of her features. The decisions she makes cannot conform to everyone else's, but that's life. She cannot try to please everyone. Those with negative comments need to stop following her so closely to avoid aggregavating themselves. That negative comments are hurtful and should stop. There is an audience that she appeals to and that's one of the key reasons shens followed.

Who is anyone hurting? She has no moral backbone, any kindness she ever had was beaten and kicked out of her by age 7 by her mother Kris Jenner( documented).
She is what Kris Jenner made her a vapid, shallow, empty, selfish shell of a human being. She left her child with a documented drunk and child abuser her mother.
What redeeming quality do you expect people to see in her? Her outside is now reflecting her inside. Disgusting, cheap, vile, poor excuse for a human being who only knows her self worth on her knees.

I'm impressed that she hasn't opted out on getting work done so quickly after having North. With more time and hard work she'll be bikini ready once again! Keep strutting your stuff proudly Kim!!! =)

Why do you guys hate her?
Has she personally wronged in some way?
Has she been saying rude things to offend you?
Does she in any way go out of her way to wrong you?
If you hate her for the way she dresses, the way she looks or because you feel like she is famous for no good reason. Then the one with the problem is you. It's not her fault paparazzi's follow her.
And if it's because of her sex video just don't watch it and if it's because she was married for a short time remember there are more marriages that last less.

yes she has implants. I read about the time she had them put in when she was dating the other black guy she made the sex tape with. I read she also had butt expanders put in. Most women want to lose weight on their butts but KK likes the extra junk. Sorry, but few parts are natural in the girl. She does need to lose weight but who cares ? we enjoy to critic the poor thing and it is only because she puts herself out there…..that's how she makes her $$$. Sensationalism…so she should expect all opinions; the good and the bad.

Start off on the Right Foot
We talk a lot about fresh faces here at LUSH, but it's also important to put your fresh feet forward! Given that the average person walks 4 miles a day and that 25% of the body's bones are in our feet, it's no wonder that our soles need extra care.
To keep your feet in good repair throughout the year, soak, exfoliate, moisturize and massage them as often as possible. To soak, fill your bath tub or a basin with warm water. Adding a Bath Bomb with sea salt like Big Blue enriches the experience and helps soften rough skin. Remember, good foot care involves drying your feet thoroughly after every bath or shower.
Once your feet have softened up, exfoliate with a Stepping Stone foot scrub. Its pumice and sea salt scrub away rough spots while nourishing jojoba oil add moisture.
For a true spa experience, follow up with Volcano Foot Mask. Plaster it all over feet then cover them with (recycled) plastic bags. After 10-15 minutes, reveal deodorized, baby soft feet tingling from the cinnamon leaf oil.
To cool things off, apply minty Fair Trade Foot Lotion with arnica infusion to comfort sore feet. Apply right before bed then slip on a pair of cotton socks and awaken to transformed tootsies.
For an extra special touch, apply some Lemony Flutter cuticle butter on your toenails and cuticles to soften and brighten.

Check out this inspiring story that features some amazing people including Ronnie Seruyange, a 26-year-old who used to be an orphaned street kid in Uganda.

The end of hunger isn't a fairy tale
Welcome to the Heifer family. Donors, volunteers, recipients and our teams around the world share a common goal: To end hunger and poverty in a sustainable way. It's a lofty goal, but we know it's achievable. Together we are the family that can create this change.
Together we can make cows fly

2nd Graders Send Shockwaves of Love
Last year our 2nd Graders voted to raise money for 1 cow ($500). We ended up raising enough money for one cow and MANY more animals ($1,349)! The money was doubled because we fundraised during a matching season. This year we hope to duplicate our efforts. The students of this year's 2nd Grade are excited to pass on the gift and loved reading Flora and the Runaway Rooster with Heifer International's very own Asmi Patel (who visits us each year to kick off and celebrate after our fundraising). They are empowered by last year's success and hope to have their own this year! Our school has children from all over the world - knowing that as we Read to Feed we are sending shockwaves of love and passing on the gift to an international community keeps the teachers wanting to do this year after year.
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Gertie
"What Heifer International means to me is putting animals into people's lives that really need them. Without Heifer so many people's food and land would be taken from them and without Heifer, hunger would still be a very big thing. Another thing that Heifer means to me is 'cow', Heifer means cow. To me cow represents all of the cows and other animals that have been given to people. Because of Heifer, stopping hunger has a very, very big chance. This is what Heifer international means to me."

When children play, Leominster teacher's work will live on
It's been a year since the unexpected death of beloved Leominster High School history teacher Michele Oshman, and her departure still resonates with faculty and students. "She had a really solid core group of people here who were friends and there's no way you can't feel her absence," said friend and fellow teacher Andrea Grimes. "There's definitely a light that's missing, but I also feel that people have tried to pitch in and fill whatever voids they can." For Grimes, pitching in means making sure that her friend stays remembered at one of her most favorite places by raising funds to have a play structure installed at Heifer Farm in Rutland.

Second Grade Lemonade Stand
As part of an economics unit, Altamahaw Ossipee Elementary's second grade students learned about donating money. Teachers read their classes the story of Beatrice and her goat to introduce Heifer International to the students, and students then prepared to open a lemonade stand to raise money. We asked parents to donate supplies, and we invited the entire school to visit the stand and purchase a glass of lemonade. It was a huge success! We raised $460.00!!! We used the money to gift a llama, honeybees, a flock of geese, a flock of chicks, a sheep, and a goat. We are so excited to know that we were able to help families around the world!
Rylie Sends a Girl to School
I just have to brag a little and share the story of my daughter, Rylie. She is an 8th grader at Clinton Middle School. Rylie had a school project of researching and reporting on something that she had a passion for. She researched several things on the internet and then found the Heifer International Send a Girl to School. She loved the idea of helping another girl across the world to go to school and have the opportunities that she has. Not only did Rylie report on this project - she raised money for this project. Rylie did a brief report of Heifer at our church one Sunday morning and asked for donations from the congregation and then she held a volleyball tournament at her school during their RTI (Free hour) and charged everyone $1 to participate. She had 20 teams involved including a teacher team. Through both of these events Rylie raised $353.00. She not only had enough to send a girl to school for $275.00 she also put the balance to the Women Self Help Group. I am so proud of her for going above and beyond to help with this amazing project.
Celebrating Friendship
Over two decades ago, a group of ladies met each other at a workshop and have been celebrating their friendship every year since. This past Christmas, Afton, Barbara, Cruz, Eleanor, and Gloria wanted to reach out with their support instead of gifting to each other. They researched the organization and decided together that they would give the gift of a goat. Afton wrote, "The goat that will be offered to a family comes with a lot of thought, best wishes, and support. This gift adds to our holiday season as we know it will add to many people's lives." Last year marked their 25th year of friendship! Thank you to Afton, Barbara, Cruz, Eleanor, and Gloria for your generous hearts and support!

Art for a Cause
"I am a clergywoman whose ministry has shifted from parish work to fiber art in the last five years. I recently sold one of my pieces. I try to match each piece with an appropriate charitable organization and you are the group I found to match this one. It is called 'Texture of Water' and is part of a texture series I did of the five elements. As a long-time supporter of Heifer International, I thought one of your safe water programs would be the ideal project to receive my donation. My hope is to keep the price of the piece low enough that is is affordable to a wide range of people, so that it can go to someone who needs it..." -Rev. Andrea La Sonde Anastos.

Every Child is an Artist
Students at Putnam Indian Field School hosted their annual Art Show, which showcased the beautiful artwork they created throughout the school year. The children adopted Heifer International as the charity to benefit from their work! Throughout the show, they posted their thoughts about what Heifer means to them to help their parents understand the importance of helping others. One student wrote, "Mommy and Daddy want to see our art, and we want to help the people who don't have things to have things and be happy."

Welephants surpass goal after one week
I teach kindergarten at West Cypress Hills Elementary in Spicewood, TX! In my classroom I stress critical thinking, aiming to inspire students to be curious about the world. I tie in real life applications to my lessons, which increases student engagement and interest. When students have questions about a concept, maybe something we're reading about in the classroom or an issue they bring in from home, we take the time as a class to explore. In doing this it allows for exposure to research and collaboration. Recently, we read the book Beatrice's Goat and my students were very curious about Beatrice's life and Uganda. We did some impromptu research into Uganda and Heifer International and this resulted in the students wanting to make their own impact and with some brainstorming. We devised a plan to raise money for this organization... Please click the title of the article to read how the Welephants are reaching their goal!

A Quiet Respite Near the Heart of Branson
Surreys' Carriage Place • Branson, MO
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a One-Bedroom Condo ($139)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Four in a Two-Bedroom Condo ($199)
The Destination
Dubbed "The Live Music Show Capital of the World," Branson balances its show-tune sheen with down-home hospitality. Stationed in Arkansas's Ozark Plateau, the city celebrates its Southern heritage with a mouthwatering helping of casual cooking joints—think crispy chicken-fried steak and gooey mac 'n' cheese—and plenty of comedy clubs dishing out cornball humor. When you're not taking in a performance along 76 Country Boulevard, drop a line in Table Rock Lake, check out the interactive exhibits at the Titanic Museum, or scream atop the roller coasters at Silver Dollar City.
The Digs
Hidden by a leafy line of trees, Carriage Place is within walking distance of the city's most popular attractions while still offering plenty of peace and quiet. Start your stay by breathing easy in the tranquil courtyard or strolling along the brook that flows through the center of the property. Cozy and convenient, your one- or two-bedroom condo includes a kitchen, a private bath, and spacious living and dining areas. When you're ready to blow off some steam without venturing off-site, take a dip in the indoor swimming pool, rack up a high score in the game room, or break a sweat in the fitness center.
"Cue up the banjo-picking ambiance of the Grand Ole Opry, throw in mini-golf, assorted wax museums and theme parks, and you have Branson, Missouri, as unpretentious a place as any you'll find in the good ol' USA."-- Frommer's

The Chargers announced that wide receiver/return specialist Richard Goodman, an exclusive-rights free agent, signed his one-year contract tender today.
Goodman is entering his fourth season with the Chargers. A former undrafted free agent, Goodman spent most of his rookie season (2010) on the team's practice squad. In 2011, he played in all 16 games and returned 34 kickoffs for 936 yards (27.5-yard average), including a team-record 105-yard return touchdown in the Chargers' final regular season game at Oakland. Last season, Goodman returned 18 kickoffs for 497 yards (27.6 avg.) before injuring his hamstring during the opening kickoff of the Chargers' Oct. 28 game at Cleveland, an injury that landed him on the "Reserve-Injured" list, causing him to miss the remainder of the season.

Greg Wolbrette painting exhibition: 'Skin of its Nature'
Savannah, GA
1 N. Fahm St.
SCAD presents a thesis exhibition by M.F.A. painting student Greg Wolbrette. Wolbrette's work explores the creation of industry that he believes has invasively populated much of the planet. From observing the decaying of concrete and steel infrastructures, to the "Texas-sized" accumulation of plastic that drifts somewhere between Hawaii and Japan, Wolbrette focuses on the importance of studying, engaging and manipulating these materials to determine their effects upon the viewer.
Reception: Friday, Aug. 30, 6-7:30 p.m.
Gallery hours: Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.

The Redskins won the division because they deserved to win the division. Anyone who says differently has their own agenda.
Conversations about the long term viability of the current Redskins offense are a completely separate discussion. But try to be realistic about it. The Redskins offense was hardly unstoppable this year. Your post implies that it was. Do you really believe that?
Elway, 6' 3", and 220 lbs
RG3, 6' 2", and 217 lbs
How exactly does that equate to a "Much bigger" guy. Hes almost the same exact size as RG3. The fact is that everyone thinks RG3 is Vick, they automatically consider them the same size. Not even close.
A few more stats, Elway had 774 rushes in his career (43 Rush TDs). That is quite a few. Steve Young had 722 (33 Rush TDs), also quite a few. They weren't simply pocket passers like you think they were. Both extended plays with their feet often.
Who told you the Wildcat was an every down system? The Read Option is at least 2, and often a 3 down system that works, its shown it on the field. The Wildcat was nifty, and is still used once and a while by teams but its a completely different animal.
The Read Option (especially in Pistol) keeps the QB as the QB, and lets him choose what he wants to do. Something that requires a specific skill set to accomplish well. The Wildcat can be run by some QBs, but is often run by WR/RBs like Brad Smith.
Simply because something is new to the NFL, or re-establishing itself does not mean it is automatically going to be solved in a year. Defenses sure hope so, but its not so simple. If it is, explain how a defense is going to do it? Hitting the QB isn't going to work. You have to have a plan to stop the plays, not a single player.

Carolina - worst game of the year on offense
Pittsburgh - 11 Drops by WRs
The rest of the games the Redskins have lost, shouldn't fall on their Offenses shoulders at all. The entire first half of the season the Redskins Defense was giving up ~500 yards per game. They've sorta stopped the bleeding now, but to consider their offense anything other than the solution this year is being dishonest.
5th in YPG
1st in Rush YPG
4th in Points Per Game
1st in Turnovers (14 total all year)
So the Offense is in the Top 5 in almost every statistical category, explain how that is not a top offense in the league? If you're going to disagree, you're being a brainless homer, are you not?
So in comparison to the rest of the league, I would say they're at least "hard to stop", and you seem to think otherwise. Prove it to me, we don't want to keep throwing around this brainless homer **** do we, because right now the stats are surely not saying they're pedestrian as an offense.

My bad. I misunderstood the meaning of "but it hasn't been stopped yet, and I haven't seen a single Defensive coach stop it yet, or even explain how to stop it." As I said, based on those words, I inferred unstoppable. And I never stated that, I said "your post implies it".
Certainly you could have said very good rather than hasn't been stopped, never seen a DC stop it or even explain how to stop it, if very good is actually what you meant. And thanks for the offer, but you don't need to put any words in my mouth, I can type just fine. I never called them pedestrian, in fact other than reacting to the inference, I didn't characterize their offense at all. Until now.
I think the Skins are good (for the reasons I have detailed in other threads) I think Griffin is very good and I think their offense is very good.
We've addressed the miscommunication around the phrase unstoppable. I still think the phrases like "hasn't been stopped yet" "haven't seen a single Defensive coach stop it yet or even explain how to stop it" could lead one to believe that unstoppable might be a shorter way of saying the same thing but if you are stating that's absolutely not the case and was never your intent, OK.
I do not disagree with your assessment of top 5, that's a very good offense. Much like the Patriots, Lions, Saints, Giants, Broncos and Packers, a very good offense.
As far what games should be blamed on the offense vs. the defense, I do not care. That's for the Redskins board to argue over.
Y'all giants fans are so bitter. Why are you guys still posting on these boards? Your season is over, turn your attention to the Knicks and Nets. But if you can't get enough of football I believe there is game Sunday at 4:30pm that you all can watch. "They're still a couple pieces away from actually being a contender, them being in legitimate talks for playoffs and things like that" - Victor Cruz Week 12
lol.. first time you've been relevant in about a decade and you come here talking ****? win it all and then come back and talk.. geez..
If you read and thought before posting you'd see that plenty of Giants fans have clearly stated the Redskins deserved to win the division and have given them props for doing so. Try to rise to that level instead of stooping the other way.
Unless of course that's where you belong. I'll guess time will tell us that.

I went to inspect my two hives yesterday and one of them had what appeared to be 8 frames of partially filled honey comb in the top super (above the queen excluder), the other was empty (no queen excluder). So I decided to transplant 2 frames of honey from one hive to the other. In the process of doing so, I noticed that about 4 frames from the transplanted hive had capped brood on them, which I didn't notice last week when I added the queen excluder. I made sure to put only the frames with NO brood in the weaker hive.
But for the hive with the honey/brood frames, what do I do now?
I have two more empty supers with 10 frames each of undrawn pierco comb. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough beeswax to rub onto these frames yet.
Should I scrape the brood out of the 4 frames in the super and replace them back into the hive or are these frames "contaminated" and now they can't be used just for honey?
Should I put the honey/brood frames in the freezer for 24 hours, replace the empty space with undrawn comb, then put the honey/brood frames back and the let the bees clean them out?
Should I do something else?
Of course, all of this depends (I think) on my being able to find the queen in the super and if I find her, putting her in the top deep below the super, then replacing the excluder.
Would I be setting the hive back too far for winter by replacing any frames with undrawn comb?
We're going through a massive goldenrod explosion around here and you can smell the goldenrod honey about 20 feet from the hive. I kind of think there's enough nectar to go around for the next few weeks.

""Below the age of 18 sometimes they don't make the best decisions, it's not the fact that one shot has more caffeine then a cup of coffee, it's the fact they could buy of them and make a very concentrated drink."
Casey's has several locations across mid-Missouri, where ABC 17 News found the products Sunday, including the popular 5-Hour Energy. The company said the products are not banned, just now require identification.
Missouri has no laws forbidding sales of energy drinks to minors.

I have been looking for an inexpensive mouse guards. I found these gutter guards at Menards. The plastic is exterior grade and the pre-drilled holes are 3/8". Trim off the one side, cut them the width of your hive opening, fasten with 6 screws and your done.
Quick, simple, cheap.
Not sure how the plastic will hold up to vermin....guess we will see.
Why would I not just leave them on all year long?
Couldn't get my photos to upload. Here is the product: http://www.menards.com/main/building...498-c-5812.htm
