We're a retired Singapore couple with an empty nest. But we enjoy having people around. Hence the home stay.
We have three rooms for homestay guests which are very large, air-conditioned double rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Our Deluxe room rate is Singapore Dollars 140 per room night and includes breakfast. Breakfast is your choice: western, vegetarian or local, home cooked or at the market where Singaporeans eat and shop and which tourists and visitors rarely get to experience.
We serve breakfast from 8.30am to 10.00am. However, if you wish to sleep in – there's coffee and tea available when you wake up.
Enjoy our garden, relax in our living room, and use the internet. Laundry is available at a small additional charge. Stay with us and enjoy the hospitality that has become our hallmark.
Our home is located 10 minutes by taxi from Changi International Airport and bus, train and taxi services are within easy reach. We are also about 20 minutes walk from the beach and the fabulous East Coast Park. Other recreational facilities include shopping malls, cinemas and eateries of every description literally round every corner. You can get to the city centre within 15 minutes and the 'happening' Orchard Road in 20. But our home itself is in a green haven of peace and quiet.
The check - in time is 2.00 pm and the check - out time is 12.00 noon. We keep to these times for the convenience of all guests.
***Do drop us a message via the Wimdu messaging system to tell us more about yourself before making a booking so that we can consider your needs. Unfortunately we do not accept children under 7 years as our house is designed with lots of stairs making it unsafe for young children However do talk to us if you need accommodation for your children.

Reviews of this property
Thank you Judith and Donald for your hospitality and advice during our stay. We loved your house and really appreciated the local knowledge that you shared with us. We'll see you on our return to Singapore. Best wishes, Jackie and Royce
Judith and Donald are the most wonderful hosts! They have a very beautiful home in a very lovely neighbourhood. They made us feel very welcome. Delicious breakfast every morning! We enjoyed chatting with them. They have a wealth of local knowledge which was very interesting. Judith and Donald were very helpful and provided great advice about how to get around and things we should see and do. Bus stop is 2 min walk which connects to the local train 5 mins away. Getting around on a 3 day tourist pass makes travelling around Singapore very cheap! Purchase a card for $20 for unlimited travel on bus/train then you get a refund of $10 for the card at the end of 3 days. The room is exactly what you see in the picture. Very lovely, spacious, cool, clean and comfortable and met all our needs. Internet was excellent. Our stay was for 5 days which we thoroughly enjoyed. Month of June is the great Singapore sale if you love to shop! Bugis Street markets/pedestrian mall is also another great place to visit if you are looking for a bargain! We highly recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a great place to stay in Singapore!
Our stay at Judith's and Donald's charming little B&B was just perfect. The room itself was spacious, very clean and super nice. And the hosts are simply outstanding: very open, warm, friendly and caring. You will feel at home from the first minute in their beautiful house.
Judith and Donald's homestay was really perfect for our visit at Singapore
It started with a warm welcome which made us feel to come as friends. The rooms are as seen on wimdu homepage, the breakfast delicious and the conversation with Judith and Donald around the breakfast table quite interesting and helpful for our daily sightseeing program.
If you look for a nice and comfortable homestay at Singapore we could highly recommend to choose Judith and Donald's homestay.
Thank you for perfect days in Singapore.
Michael and family
Excellent room. Friendly people who every morning a delicious breakfast for you ready. Definitely would recommend!
Uitstekende kamer. Vriendelijke mensen die elke ochtend een lekker ontbijtje voor je klaar maken. Zeker aan te bevelen!!

Judith and Donald are just two lovely people, the homestay is beautiful and relaxing. We had a wonderful stay at their homestay and enjoyed our time in Singapore a lot. Thank you both for all!
We had a very comfortable time staying with Judith and Donald. Their home is beautiful, spacious and in a lovely residential area. Judith and Donald made us feel so welcome and offered much helpful advice to us as newcomers to Singapore. Their breakfast was plentiful and delicious and we would recommend their home to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Singapore.
Judith & Donald are excellent hosts who made us feel very welcome in their lovely home. Breakfasts were delicious and the room very comfortable. Transport links to city and airport are convenient and reasonable. They are also a wealth of local knowledge which is most helpful and interesting. We would certainly recommend this home-stay to others.
Difficult to know where to start in describing our wonderful week with Judith & Donald - fabulous, friendly, helpful people. Nothing was a problem. Judith's breakfasts were the highlight each morning, we enjoyed meeting their other guests. The house is just beautiful, in a lovely part of Singapore, bus close by connects to the train - great transport system, easy to get around with a 3-day Tourist Pass.
Even though Siglap Rd is quite busy, the room was quiet, very clean and cool with a comfortable bed, fresh towels each day. Good restaurants/food hall a short walk away.
Staying with Judith & Donald made our
first Singapore experience memorable, we didn't want to leave. Far better than a hotel - a highly recommended accommodation option. We intend to return.

any update to the thread> did MB practice today?
As I said in a prior post the Giants would be absolutely ecstatic if Kaepernick started this game.
Last edited by GMENAGAIN; 10-11-2012 at 10:44 AM.
You seem to be grasping at straws at this point. At no time did I say Kaepernick was a better QB, I said he would be a nightmare for our defense because we have trouble matching up to his style historically.

The fine art of shatting a toilet so explosively that the bowl is covered in mud. A direct result of a serious case of mud butt!
Elizabeth is now prohibitted from using our bathroom when she comes over because she always leaves the mud bowl. That bitch needs to lay off the sauce cause she is blowing up our toilet with her nasty ass!

text: I am comtemplating selling nucs and and am curious if anyone has a bill-of-sale/contract they use when selling nucs? I want to sell the nuc 'as is' with no guarantee or follow-up support supplied. I indend to sell good quality nucs but want to make sure the buyer understands that I am not liable for its success or failure later on and I don't want to get in the free beekeeping advice business. While on the subject, does anyone supply a simple check list of what the buyer should do with the nuc? thanks

Buddy Cianci was already making the media wait.
Last Friday, as he lunched with friends and family at Joe Marzilli's Old Canteen on Federal Hill, Rhode Island's rascal king still had another 11 hours or so under the jurisdiction of the US Bureau of Prisons, his keeper for the last four-plus years. And though it was wholly predictable that he would elude —as he did —the assembled throng of reporters, Cianci's mere presence was enough to keep 15 scribes, photographers, and TV cameramen posted outside, mostly in front of the old-school Italian restaurant on Atwells Avenue, sweating in the humidity and seeking shaded relief from a scorching late July sun.
This was the dawn of a whole new Buddy era, and there was no doubt that the media would be there to cover it.
In the parlance of local scribes, Rhode Island is the gift that keeps on giving. And in the last 33 years, no one in this tiny news-rich state has offered more journalistic fodder than Buddy Cianci, a charismatic and gifted politician, by turns charming and bullying, who has exhibited a considerable penchant for self-destruction. US District Court Judge Ernest Torres nailed this duality while sentencing Cianci in 2002 for a single count of racketeering conspiracy, likening the twice-fallen mayor to a Jekyll-and-Hyde character.
And now Buddy is back.
What form will he take? How much juice will he wield? To what degree does he remain relevant? Was a man who had once talked of screwing his friends and marrying his enemies capable of mellowing, at 66, into something approaching an elder statesman? Or was the sunny exterior he flashed a day later just a cover until Buddy starts settling scores from a well-paid perch on talk-radio?
These questions formed the subtext as the reporters waited for the well-turned quotes that, at least that day, would not arrive.
While Cianci had been released in May from a federal prison in Fort Dix, New Jersey — taking up residence at a halfway house in Boston, and then, his nephew Brad Turchetta's East Greenwich home — ongoing federal oversight spelled public silence for the typically loquacious former mayor.
Yet with the snipping of his electronic monitoring bracelet last Friday morning at the Barnstable County Sheriff's Office on Cape Cod, it was only a matter of hours before Buddy was, again, suddenly front-and-center in the Rhode Island media.
For now, it was Charles Mansolillo, a longtime Cianci confidante and his former city solicitor, who eventually emerged to answer questions from the press, describing how Buddy will likely hold a news conference about his plans this week, and as widely anticipated, probably take up a talk-radio microphone right here in Rhode Island.
A short time later, Buddy slipped away with enough guile to impress a freshly minted Hollywood starlet, moving from a side entrance at the Old Canteen into the passenger seat of a waiting silver Mercedes SL500, which sped away, photographers snapping all the while.
The departure was a variation on how Cianci used to make reporters wait for an audience in his imperial court at City Hall. In time, he would talk and talk some more, revealing a bit about the next chapter in a remarkable life. Yet even in his uncharacteristic silence, the former mayor's headgear — a Providence Journal baseball cap — marked a wry nod to his longtime journalistic nemesis.

Jenkins City Council voices support of Pequot Lakes and Crosslake libraries
Krista Okerman, clerk of the City of Jenkins, was contacted by Jon Henke of Crosslake regarding a cut in funding to the Crosslake and Pequot Lakes Libraries. The libraries are a part of the Kitchigami Regional Library System (KRLS). They are facing a reduction in their budget by $20,000.
Okerman said both libraries are currently operated by volunteers, and the utilities of these buildings are paid for by city taxpayers. She further explained that the residents paid into the regional system through county taxes. Henke was not asking the City of Jenkins for a monetary contribution, but instead for a resolution of support of the efforts by the two libraries to have their $20,000 in funding reinstated.
A motion was unanimously passed in support of the KRLS affiliate libraries of Crosslake and Pequot Lakes.
In other news, the City of Jenkins also:
• Approved liquor licenses to a local businesses contingent that all required information and fees be submitted. The businesses included : A-Pine Family Restaurant, Wildwedge Golf Course, Northland Liquor, VFW Post 389, and AmericInn.
• Approved a donation of $200 to the Pequot Lakes Grad Blast from the police fine fund.
• Authorized attendance of the League of MN Cities Legislative Conference by Gary Brown.
• Authorized attendance of the League of MN Cities loss control workshop by Okerman and Roger Olmscheid, public works representative.

Democratic House and Caucus Leadership
Quickly building a strong leadership team for the 2013-2014 cycle, DCCC Chairman Steve Israel has named the DCCC's four National Chairs.
- Representative Jared Polis will be National Chair for Candidate Services
- Representative Jim Himes will be National Finance Chair
- Democratic Caucus Vice-Chair Representative Joe Crowley will be DC Finance Chair
- Assistant Democratic Leader Jim Clyburn will be National Mobilization Chair
In addition, Chairman Israel named the leadership of three key DCCC Committees for the cycle:
- Representative Tim Walz will Chair the DCCC's Frontline Program
- Representative Donna Edwards will Chair the DCCC's Recruitment Committee
- Representative Gary Peters will be Vice Chair of DCCC's Recruitment Committee
- Representatives Richard Neal, Jim Himes and Terri Sewell will be Vice Chairs of Finance and Chair the DCCC's Business Council
The DCCC National Chairs and the Committee leadership work closely with DCCC Chairman Israel, Leader Nancy Pelosi, House Leadership and the Caucus to plan and execute strategies that will ensure House Democrats' success in 2014.
"Building on House Democrats 2012 success, these outstanding Members will lead the charge to pick up seats in 2014 and continue reversing the Tea Party wave," said DCCC Chairman Steve Israel. "These leaders of our party are committed to standing up for the middle class and holding Republicans accountable for putting the special interests ahead of hardworking Americans. I'm pleased these Democratic leaders will be working with us this cycle to ensure our Members and candidates are building and executing winning campaigns."
Announcements about additional DCCC Councils and Committees will be made at a later date.
Jared Polis, National Chair for Candidate Services
Congressman Jared Polis will serve as National Chair for Candidate Services. Congressman Polis is a savvy campaign strategist and has chaired the DCCC's successful Red to Blue program in addition to serving on the recruiting committee. He has worked with the DCCC and Democratic Members and candidates on modernizing their campaign as well as LGBT outreach and fundraising plans.
"Congressman Polis will ensure that our top notch candidates and incumbents are well-prepared for an aggressive 2014 campaign," Chairman Israel said. "Jared has distinguished himself as a proven leader in working with our candidates from the start of recruitment to crossing the finish line."
Congressman Jared Polis said, "I am looking forward to working with Chairman Israel and the DCCC leadership to assist Democratic candidates so we can pick up seats and defeat Tea Party Republicans. We have a very dynamic and talented team and will be on the offense in districts throughout the country."
Jim Himes, National Finance Chair
Congressman Jim Himes will serve as National Finance Chair. Representative Himes will oversee the DCCC's national fundraising to ensure House Democrats have the resources to win seats in 2014. During the 2012 cycle, Representative Himes co-chaired the Business Council and served as Frontline Chair.
Over his career, Jim Himes has proven that he's deeply committed to strengthening the middle class -- and he'll work relentlessly to elect more people to Congress who share our middle class values and defeat people who want to give more tax breaks to the well-connected.
Joe Crowley, DC Finance Chair
In a newly-created position, Congressman Crowley will oversee the DCCC's DC fundraising as the DC Finance Chair. Congressman Crowley served as the National Finance Chair and helped Democrats outraise House Republicans despite being in the minority and broke many DCCC fundraising records. Congressman Crowley is also the new Vice-Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus.
"I'm so pleased that our new Caucus Vice-Chair and my friend and colleague from New York Congressman Crowley will continue in a leadership role at the DCCC in a new position focused on raising resources here in Washington," said Chairman Israel. "Congressman Crowley will build on his success this past cycle and allow us to strengthen our efforts in DC."
Congressman Crowley said, "After our record-fundraising success this cycle, I'm so pleased to work with Leader Pelosi, Chairman Israel, Congresswoman Schwartz and our entire team to make sure we have resources to execute an aggressive campaign and support Members in tough fights and candidates in competitive races."
Jim Clyburn, National Mobilization Chair
Assistant Leader Jim Clyburn will oversee the DCCC's efforts to mobilize and engage voters as National Mobilization Chair. Clyburn is responsible for ensuring key Democratic constituencies are organized, energized and well-equipped as part of a state of the art voter contact effort.
"Engaging and mobilizing voters again will be critical to House Democrats efforts to turn back the Tea Party Republicans and gain seats," said Chairman Israel. "Assistant Leader Clyburn will inspire, organize and mobilize voters and ensure that we reach voters across the country."
Tim Walz, Frontline Chair
Congressman Tim Walz will serve as Frontline Chair. Congressman Walz was a Member of the Frontline program last cycle and understands what it takes for an incumbent to win in a challenging district in a tough political environment. Walz has pledged to ensure problem-solving Democrats are re-elected in 2014. This past cycle he served as the DCCC's Native American Council Co-Chair.
"Congressman Walz is battle-tested and will be a tremendous leader in our incumbent protection program because he knows firsthand how to win in a tough district," said Chairman Israel. "Congressman Walz will bring his problem-solving approach to this key position and will ensure that our problem-solving incumbents who face tough challenges will return to Congress in order to continue fighting for middle class families."
Congressman Walz said, "I'm honored and humbled to lead the 2014 Frontline Program. Elections are a means to an end and that end is better policies for middle class Americans. I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure that we re-elect folks committed to strengthening the middle class."
Donna Edwards, Recruitment Committee Chair and Gary Peters, Recruitment Committee Vice Chair
Congresswoman Donna Edwards will chair the Recruitment Committee and Congressman Gary Peters will serve as Recruitment Committee Vice Chair. During the 2012 campaign, Congresswoman Edwards chaired the Red to Blue Program and served on the recruiting committee.
"Congresswoman Edwards is a proven and tenacious leader who will help us identify and recruit top-notch candidates and Congressman Gary Peters is a battle-tested leader who knows how to win competitive races," said Chairman Israel. "To win in 2014, we are already aggressively recruiting candidates, and our dynamic team of Donna and Gary will lead the way to help us recruit candidates focused on solving problems and standing up for the middle class."
Congresswoman Edwards said, "For the 2012 cycle, House Democrats recruited successfully top-tier candidates throughout the country who reflected the shared values of America. We are excited to build on this momentum and spearhead the recruitment efforts for 2014. We will do that by continuing to recruit first-rate candidates committed to protecting the middle class and creating jobs."
Congressman Peters said, "I look forward to working closely with Congresswoman Edwards to recruit top-tier Democratic candidates who can win in competitive districts and will represent the values of the middle class. My priority is to relentlessly recruit problem-solvers who will fight to protect the middle class."
Richard Neal, Jim Himes and Terri Sewell, Vice Chairs of Finance and Chairs of the DCCC's Business Council
Congressman Richard Neal, Congressman Jim Himes and Congresswoman Terri Sewell will serve as Vice Chairs of Finance and Chair the DCCC's Business Council. Congressmen Neal and Himes co-chaired the Business Council during the 2012 cycle and Congressman Himes also served as Frontline Chair.
"Congressman Richard Neal, Jim Himes and Terri Sewell will be critical to our business outreach efforts," said Chairman Israel. "Together they will work with National Finance Chair Congresswoman Schwartz and DC Finance Chair Congressman Crowley to make sure we have the resources to run an aggressive campaign this cycle. They will put the DCCC and our Democratic candidates in partnership with business leaders who share our values on the most pressing issues affecting our country: creating jobs and strengthening the middle class."
Congressman Neal, Congressman Himes and Congresswoman Sewell said: "We look forward to working with the business community and helping build resources so that Democrats come out of the gate strong and are on offense. Democrats again will have a strong partnership with the business community because at every turn we have stood up for good-paying jobs and a thriving middle class."

The talk of the 2012 Farnborough International Airshow is Airbus' milestone decision to create a U.S. final assembly line in Mobile, Alabama for its best-selling A320 Family jetliners – a strategy that was announced last week.
This game-changing move was being celebrated even before the biennial U.K. air show began, as Airbus was the centre of attention at a London reception hosted by the Aerospace Alliance – an organisation that promotes aviation industry growth in the southern American states of Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana.
The gathering, held 8 July on the eve of the air show's opening, brought together more than 400 aviation industry executives, 100 southeastern U.S. business and government leaders and other guests. Representatives of each state praised the Airbus decision, and underscored the region's commitment to help make the new single-aisle jetliner final assembly line a success.
"We produce the best cars, the best rockets, the best ships…and now we're going to produce the best airplanes together with Airbus," Alabama Governor Robert Bentley told a packed audience at London's famous Whitehall Palace Banqueting Hall.
The Aerospace Alliance's mission is to establish the U.S. Gulf Coast as a leading aerospace and aviation corridor by advocating for policies and programmes that support economic development and employment in the region. Currently, over 313,000 people work for aerospace or defence companies within these four states – including the existing operations of Airbus and its EADS parent company in Alabama and Mississippi.
Airbus announced on 2 July that it will begin construction of the new final assembly line at Alabama's Brookley Aeroplex in the summer of 2013, bringing A320 Family production directly to the world's largest single-aisle aircraft market: the United States. This assembly line and the associated facilities will employ as many as 1,000 high-skilled workers, while further expanding Airbus' global footprint. The build-up of A320 Family jetliners is planned to start in 2015, with deliveries beginning in 2016.

Let's start off with Red Alert 3, a game which Joe liked, but I thought was an overworked load of pants. And then lets take Gemma Atkinson, for example. Now, most people that live in the UK will be familiar with Hollyoaks. It's a teen-type soap opera of epically fail acting.

"America in View: Landscape Photography 1865 to Now"
As David Byrne pointed out 34 or so (!) years ago, it's a big country. "America In View: Landscape Photography 1865 to Now," the new exhibit at the RISD Museum, 224 Benefit St, Providence, offers a sprawling survey of the coast-to-coast splendor, from Carleton Watkins's atmospheric views of wide open spaces to Ansel Adams's majestic visions to Lee Friedlander's snapshot of Atlantic City to Sally Mann's unsettling and poignant images. RISD Museum director John W. Smith says, "The landscape has inspired and challenged artists since the earliest days of our nation. [These] remarkable works not only capture photography's evolving relationship with the landscape but also trace the larger narrative of America itself." "America In View" runs through January 13 (Tuesday-Sunday from 10 am-5 pm, Thursday till 9) | $12, $10 seniors, $5 students, $3 ges 5-18 | 401.454.6500 | risdmuseum.org

Power restored to eastern Idaho
After nearly 12 hours of outages Wednesday, power was restored to thousands in eastern Idaho by 4:20 p.m.
The power had gone out shortly after 5 a.m. for more than 50,000 customers of Rocky Mountain Power, Fall River Rural Electric Cooperative and Idaho Falls Power.
Rocky Mountain Power's customers were the last to be restored.
If you are an RMP customer and your power is still out, call (877) 508-5088.
If you are a Fall River Electric customer and still don't have power, call (800) 632-5726.
Idaho Falls Power customers were mostly restored at 11:45 a.m.
The problem stems from the Rocky Mountain Power Goshen substation near Firth.
Because of the issue, Bonneville Power Administration and Rocky Mountain Power had asked Idaho Falls Power and Fall River Electric Cooperative to shed electric loads. More than 50,000 power customers in eastern Idaho went without electricity at the peak of the outage.
Rocky Mountain spokesman Dave Eskelsen said the issue wasn't the supply of power.
"The issue is a technical problem on the transmission system," he said.
A circuit breaker was out for maintenance this week, and "conditions" developed Wednesday morning that caused Rocky Mountain to have to interrupt service. Further details are not available, though at 4:20 p.m., Rocky Mountain Power said the circuit breaker was back in service.
The problem occurred just after 5 a.m.
"Transmission regulations required Rocky Mountain Power to interrupt service to Idaho customers until stability for the transmission system can be assured. This is a precautionary measure; there is not an overload condition," Eskelsen said in a news release.
Eskelsen said although crews are working to repair this problem as fast as possible, customers should take steps to be without service until later in the afternoon.
The Bureau of Reclamation said it increased power generation at Palisades Dam to help resolve the power problem.
Intermountain Gas Company said its natural gas service was not impacted, though certain appliances that use gas do not work without electricity.
The temperatures in eastern Idaho were below zero Tuesday morning, and not much warmer in the afternoon.
Schools that are canceled are:
- Teton School District (closing at noon)
- Idaho State University's Idaho Falls campus
- University of Idaho's Idaho Falls campus
- Four schools in Idaho Falls School District: Fox Hollow and West Side elementary schools, Eagle Rock Middle School, and Skyline High School. Other schools remain open.
- Brigham Young University-Idaho until 12:45 p.m.
- Shelley School District
- Firth School District
- Bonneville School District
- West Jefferson School District
- White Pine Charter in Ammon
- Acorn Children's Academy
- Taylor's Crossing Charter in Ammon
- Odessey Charter in Idaho Falls
- Idaho Falls Head Start
- Rexburg Head Start
- Monarch Daycare
- Lighthouse Montessori
- Jefferson School District
- Madison School District
- Ririe School District
The Idaho Falls School District is open, but it said parents always have the right to keep their children home if they feel conditions are unsafe.
Other closures in the area:
- Idaho Falls Senior Center -- those who get home-delivered meals need to use their emergency meals
- Shelley Senior Center
- Upper Valley Industries in Rexburg
We'll update this page as more information becomes available.

The Destination
Forget the Big Apple version; San Francisco's Union Square is the one you need to know. More than the massive plaza, Union Square encompasses the surrounding district of high-end retail, cutting-edge theater, and flagship restaurants that act as unofficial ambassadors of cosmopolitan San Francisco. It has become a shopper's Promised Land, filled with department stores and facades touting a rolodex of international fashion labels. Beyond the riot of consumerism, public art and events make Union Square the beating heart of this City by the Bay. And there's more where that came from; hop on the Powell Street Cable Car Line to see the rest of San Francisco.
The Digs
Kensington Park Hotel shows off all the grandeur and panache of 1920s San Francisco—probably because it's housed in a 1925 Gothic-style building with hand-painted ceilings in the lobby and original artwork throughout. Its guest rooms are styled with rich mahogany furnishings and plush beds with button-tufted headboards. The glamorous old hotel also houses Farallon, a high-concept restaurant serving imaginative coastal cuisine like seared Monterey Bay squid and seawater steamed branzino.
The Diversions
• Powell Street Cable Car
• Gump's San Francisco
• American Conservatory Theater
• The Starlight Room
"Built in the1920s in a Moorish and Gothic style, this intimate boutique hotel, originally designed to house the city's Elks Club, has retained its distinctive period feel. Plus, the location can't be beat: Union Square is right outside the door."-- Read Fodor's Review of Kensington Park Hotel

17th Congressional Democrats battle for votes in new geographies
The Democratic primary in the 17th Congressional District is a battle between a 10-term incumbent, Tim Holden, and, a challenger who has never held public office, Matthew Cartwright.
But in this race, the man holding office doesn't quite have all of the usual advantages of being the incumbent.
That's because of redistricting.
The 17th District now has a large block of new voters in almost two dozen municipalities in Northampton County.
That includes Easton and Nazareth, and a major chunk of the Slate Belt.
All of Schuylkill County and parts of Monroe, Carbon, Lackawanna and Luzerne are also in the district.
Here's what the candidates say is most important for voters to know about the race, and themselves.
Since graduating with a sociology degree from Bloomsburg University in 1980, Holden, 55, has worked as a real estate agent, an insurance broker, a probation officer and sergeant-at-arms for the Pennsylvania House. He also was sheriff of Schuylkill County for seven years. He lives in St. Clair, Schuylkill County.
Holden is now dean of the Pennsylvania congressional delegation, and says his seniority and House committee assignments -- transportation, infrastructure and agriculture -- are "ideal" to help him serve the needs of the state.
"I've tried to focus on economic development, bringing hundreds of millions of dollars back to my congressional district," says Holden.
Holden points out that Pennsylvania has more road miles to maintain than New York, New Jersey and New England combined, "and when we pass the highway bill, it will create thousands of jobs across Pennsylvania."
Cartwright, 50, has worked for the last 24 years at the law firm he founded. He graduated from Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., and earned his law degree at the University of Pennsylvania. Cartwright was a 1992 delegate to the Democratic National Convention. He lives in Moosic, Lackawanna County.
He says he's running for Congress to "make a difference. There are jobs that need to be created. ... The unemployment number doesn't include people who are underemployed and not looking for work any more."
Besides job creation, Cartwright says he would focus on infrastructure rebuilding, including high-speed rail service, health-care accessibility and what he calls "the crown jewel," education, especially early childhood education.
Cartwright is critical of Holden's vote against health-care reform. He says not only would he have supported the bill, but as a congressman he would try to strengthen the law to cover more Americans.
Holden, who is considered a centrist Democrat, says his vote to buck his party on health-care reform shows his independence. He has voted with his party on issues such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform bill and extension of the payroll tax deduction.
Cartwright also says he wants to repeal the so-called Halliburton loophole that was part of the 2005 energy bill and prevents the EPA from regulating fracking. The loophole was inserted into the law at the request of then-Vice President Dick Cheney.
Holden says Cartwright is using the issue to play dirty politics. "While Matt's is posing for holy pictures on television, in the meantime he's mailing out negative fliers tying me to Dick Cheney and Halliburton," says Holden. "I met Vice president Dick Cheney once, and I never received a dime from Halliburton."
Cartwright complains that Holden has not agreed to debate. He says Holden hit below the belt with a TV ad saying his law firm made campaign contributions to two Luzerne County judges involved in the so-called "Kids for Cash" scandal.
The scandal broke in 2007, and Cartwright says his firm's last contributions to the judges was in 2005. He also says he was given an award by the Luzerne County Bar Association for helping to "clean up the mess."

OAKLAND -- David Lee on Sunday will become the first Warriors player to appear in an NBA All-Star Game since Latrell Sprewell in 1997.
While Sprewell is best remembered for choking his coach, Lee is making his mark as someone who makes people choke up.
It happened before the Warriors' game at Memphis last week, when he took a side trip to
St. Jude Children's Hospital. As he was leaving, a hospital representative asked him how he enjoyed his visit.
Lee responded by saying he was doubling his planned donation, from $25,000 to $50,000.
"I was almost tearing up and crying because it was so wonderful," said Deb Kirinovic of St. Jude's sports marketing team. "All of our ambassadors are amazing, but to double a donation like that? I mean, really, it took me by surprise."
Lee tends to have that effect on people. He is a power forward who pays it forward.
Drafted by the New York Knicks in 2005 as 6-foot-9 player who could hustle but couldn't shoot, Lee blossomed into an
all-around threat who commanded a six-year, $80 million contract.
In his third season with the Warriors, he is averaging 19.0 points and 10.8 rebounds per game.
In his spare time, he racks up assists.
In November, for example, someone told Lee that the city of Oakland was on the verge of canceling its annual Thanksgiving dinner for seniors and low-income families. Lee asked what it would take to save it, then promptly wrote a check for $25,000. Dinner was served to more than 2,000 people.
"By no means am I a saint," he said. "I could do a lot more than I'm doing. All the stuff I do just inspires me to do more."
Lee also recognizes that he has a long way to go to catch his grandfather on the all-time depth chart. At the time of E. Desmond Lee's death, on Jan. 12, 2010 at age 92, newspapers in St. Louis estimated that he had donated $70 million to good causes, with an emphasis on education and the arts.
Des Lee, as he was known around St. Louis, made his fortune making and selling a pants creaser and hanger. He sold the company in 1993, then spent his remaining years writing a lot of checks, some of which are just now being uncovered.
Lee recounted how, while home in St. Louis this past summer, he headed out for sushi and was approached by a stranger.
"The kid comes up to me, he's maybe 25 years old, and he's almost in tears," Lee said. "He tells me that his brother worked as a valet at a restaurant my grandfather went to, and that his brother had really been down on his luck.
"So my grandfather told the valet, 'Look, if you want to go back to college, if you want to get your degree, I'll pay for it -- as long as you don't tell anybody.' And he did. And my grandfather paid for that."
Des Lee always told his grandson that handing out cash wasn't enough. You had to make a connection, too, which explains Lee's field trip to St. Jude's. During the span of more than two hours, he heard from hospital administrators about the latest in cancer research, took a tour of the facilities and played cards with the kids.
"He got schooled pretty good in Uno," said Steele Ford, the senior director of sports marketing.
Along the way, Ford added, Lee learned that the average donation to St. Jude was $30 a month and that it cost $1.8 million a day to run the hospital. That's what prompted Lee to double his donation on the spot.
"Yeah, it was a no-brainer," he said. "The kids there were very, very sick, and they were receiving great help. More than anything, it was an inspirational place for them. So I'm very, very happy I made the visit."
Mike Bommarito, who grew up with Lee in St. Louis, can see the grandfather's influence. He remembered going on trips with his friend to the St. Louis Zoo at Forest Park, where Des Lee was a big benefactor. The zoo caretakers let the boys perform certain chores, such as feeding the jaguars.
Bommarito noticed something else: The lessons David Lee learned from his grandfather, as well as from his parents, Gary and Susan, were about the hard work, not the rewards.
"Some people have a lot of money, and when it comes to their kids, they just throw money at them as a way of not to do their job as a parent," said Bommarito, now the co-founder of Us Against Cancer. "I think his grandfather didn't take that approach. They made their kids work hard to get where they're at. And so he instilled that in Gary, and I think that kind of trickles down to David as well."
Lee was the 30th selection -- the last pick of the first round -- by the Knicks in the 2005 draft. Coming out of the University of Florida, he was, by his own description, "an energy/hustle player." That's basketball-ese for: Can't shoot worth a lick.
"Outside the paint is where my game ended," he said this week. "And if you look at clips of me from my first four years in the league, you could give me a free-throw line jump shot and the defender could be all the way back underneath the basket, and I still wouldn't shoot it under any circumstances."
He averaged just 5.1 points per game as a rookie buried on the bench by legendary coach Larry Brown, who listed him as the sixth power forward on the depth chart.
Embarrassed by his limited game, he began putting in long hours with Phil Weber, the top assistant under Mike D'Antoni, the team's new coach. The Knicks held out no great hope ("I thought he was very limited offensively," D'Antoni confessed to the New York Times in 2010), but Lee blossomed.
With an overhauled shooting technique, practice and confidence, Lee started drilling long-range jumpers, even from beyond 20 feet.
"It was very frustrating, when you play as hard as I do, to have a part of your game that was so weak," he said. "I don't know if there was a breakthrough moment. I just think it's been a gradual process for me. And there are still days that I feel like I can't miss jump shots, and there are days I feel like I'm lost out there."
As he heads for Houston, for his second career All-Star Game, Lee is the only player in the NBA this season to average at least 19 points, 10 rebounds and three assists. He leads the league with 33 double-doubles (games with double figures in points and rebounds). However, there are still weak points to his game: He is a below-average defender at a position where banging bodies is a premium.
Lee's favorite statistic, he said, is 30-22. That's the Warriors' record at the All-Star break, their best start since starting 31-20 in 2007-08. Lee credited ownership, led by Joe Lacob, for changing the culture and pointed to the emergence of players such as point guard Stephen Curry (21.0 points per game) and shooting guard Klay Thompson (16.4).
"Coming into the season, nobody expected us to be over .500 or make any kind of splash," Lee said. "And we've been out to prove people wrong."
Predictably, there has been a side benefit. Lee pledged to donate $250 for every Warriors win this season to Us Against Cancer. The money is directed to the Siteman Cancer Center in St. Louis.
"Look, a lot of people in my grandfather's position would have chosen to go out and be really wild with their spending and do a lot of crazy things," Lee said. "But instead, he chose to give back to the community, whether it was the public schools of St. Louis, the library, the zoo, or the science center or you name it. Basically, he gave away more or less every dollar he had before he passed away in his 90s.
"He always told me: There's more to life than just existing. Helping others is very important."

Smoking banned in Colorado Springs parks
Ban approved on second and final vote
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs City Council voted to ban smoking in all public parks, trails and open spaces.
The second and final vote was made on Tuesday during their regular meeting. It was approved on a vote of 5 - 3.
The Parks Department said the ban is to cut down on fire risk and litter.
Council Member At-Large Jan Martin said enforcement of the new ban has not been determined.
KRDO talked with several Springs residents who have mixed feelings on the ban.
"I don't think it is fair to single out smokers," said non-smoker Calin Hins. "Smokers have kids too, they deserve to be able to take their kids to the park without having to walk across the street to smoke a cigarette."
"We all know smoking is bad for us. But it's annoying to go to an open space, like a restaurant with outdoor seating or park to get fresh air and you are surrounded by smokers. So I'm all for it," said non-smoker Stephanie Rahill.

It takes 15 minutes to reach Paris from the station of Bourg-la-Reine, where there are many passages and the advantage that all trains stop at night to make up a 1:30 in the morning. It's great to enjoy Parisian life.
The apartment has a few surprises, especially for movie buffs but I say no more.

We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It has everything you need.
Its located in a nice and silent district and is close to a metrostation, so its an ideal place to stay during visiting Paris.
The owner is also very helpfull and showed us were to find everything like shops and the metrostation, so that is a great start when you come to visit a city!
We really enjoyed the days in Christopher´s department. He is an excellent guest and he is open for all the question you can have. The neighbour is very quiet and 400 mts to the train station. The department is wonderful, you have all you need to cook or spend a good afternoon at home. 100% recomended. The decoration is beautiful... you will enjoy a lot.
We had a wonderfull time in Paris, Christophe
was very friendly and had very good informations
for us. We feld very well and the appartement is near
by the metro, less then 15 minutes by train to Paris City.
Thank you
We stayed in Paris for three nights and really enjoyed it. The apartment was very roomy and clean and had really good equipment. Christophe is a very nice person. The place was really close to the subway which took us to Notre Dame in 10 minutes (B-line). This place is excellent for visiting Paris! We totally recommend it!!
Nice flat in a really nice and peacefull environment, where it is possible to relax after a hard day on the streets of Paris.
Christophe is a reliable host and all the talk about hard madresses - forget it, the beds are great :-)
I was in the appartement of Christophe with my two kids. We had a good time in Sceaux. The Appartement is close to the Metro and we were very fast in the city of Paris. In the night the trains dont drive and we could sleep well. Christophe gave us the tip off the park of Sceaux near by. Thank you Christophe it is beautiful. (and good for jogging) In Sceaux you have supermarket, Bakery and Brasserie, Postoffice and more.

From LeftLaneNews.com - March 8thhttp://www.leftlanenews.com/alfa-romeo-159-replacement-delayed-once-again.html-snip- "...At the time of the announcement, several members of Fiat's top brass said that the launch of the 159's replacement had been delayed to 2013 because of design issues, a timeframe that worried Alfa dealers across Europe.Sergio Marchionne, Fiat's CEO, declared yesterday at a press conference in Geneva that the 159's replacement has been delayed once again, this time to 2014. The reason given is that the brand doesn't have a suitable engine to bolt under the car's hood."We are not delaying the Alfa because of architecture but because of availability of powertrains that match the DNA of the brand," said Marchionne. ..."Most rumors have the Giulia sharing platforms with the next 200/Avenger which currently uses a 4banger or Pentastar. The upcoming baby Maserati "Levante?" probably won't share the Ferrari/Quattroporte's V8 except in performance spec.So my question is, "Should there, or is there half a Ferrari 65-degree V12 (3.0L to 3.2L) in the works?"That ballparks 325 hp at 8,000rpm / 250 flb at 6,000 rpm and compares to --- The old 159's GM-based 3.2L V6 with around 260 hp at 6,200 rpm / 237 flb at 3,800 rpm- The current Chrysler 3.6L Pentastar with 283 hp at 6,400 rpm / 260 flb at 4,250 rpm
Option #2 - Alfa is waiting for new displacements of the Pentastar to begin production in Mexico, specifically the 3.2L with Multiair. I'm not sure where else this engine would fit in Fiat/Chrysler's line-up (a middle-weight Journey or upgraded Compass?), but I don't think a baby Maserati will have Pentastar derivatives.A Ferrari-based V6 seems the better choice for both Alfa's flagship and Maserati's entry offering.
would they sell enoughf to warrent chopping a ferrari block in half for it?
--------------------I'm working on a scifi-adventure webcomic!
Hmm...Fiat isn't looking so good.
They are being to *** about there new model . They should use a version of the pentastar and put it in production asap.
------------------------------------------------------------I don't blame people for their mistakes , but I do ask that they pay for them.
Alex daOriginal:would they sell enoughf to warrent chopping a ferrari block in half for it?Good question. Alfa had their own V6 of about the same size, used as an option in the 159 trio (now replaced by the Giulia) and 147 GTA. They ceased production in 2005 and switched to the modified GM V6 to cut cost. For higher production/lower cost, it could be the only engine offered for the Giulia trio (sedan, coupe, convertible) and as the base engine in the baby Maserati. May even be an option in a future 4C.But I think the bigger question is, "Would anyone want to buy any Maserati or an Alfa Romeo flagship with a Pentastar?" If not, this seems like the best/only alternative and reason the Maserati SUV is getting a Ferrari V8. The reciprocating parts (pistons, valves, etc) could be shared with Ferrari. The block, cams and cylinder head Ferrari-based and produced, but unique. The intake/headers Alfa/Maserati-specific and as much a gem as the Alfa V6 was.Lastly is the question of assembly; Will it me automated or hand-built? If the later, is a Ferrari factory or Conner Ave expanded, or a new location (the old Alfa V6 plant) opened?
The better question is how many would know that it's a pentastar? My guess is 99% of buyers won't know.
--------------------Current vehicles 67 cougar,72 corvette, 75 corvette, 77 firebird, 96 camaro, 98 deville, 00 Monte Carlo, 03 f-150, 04 trailblazer, 07 malibu, 07 caliber
I'd love to see some Alfas over here, but it seems they keep teasing us, when 2014 comes it will be 2016.
ALFAs will be seen on these shores around 2050. ==============================
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
superman15857:The better question is how many would know that it's a pentastar? My guess is 99% of buyers won't know.That is one of the dumber things I've read here in a while. 100% of Maserati buyers are guaranteed to know the difference between an 8,000rpm Ferrari-based V6 and a Pentastar. In Alfa's flagship midsize - the Giulia - it would be just as obvious and itself makes the sales pitch for buying an Alfa instead of a Chrysler 200.Even for non-buyers, the sound would be recognizably different to other drivers on the road and 100% of car enthusiasts would know which midsize has the Ferrari V6 under the hood.
Putting the Pentastar in Alfa Romeo's is a baaaad idea. Keep that engine for the "lower class" cars. Not to put down the 300, that car is really classy. But seeing as Chrysler designed the engine, and the car, it makes sense to put it in that vehicle. So have Alfa design their own.
----------------------------------------Don't be a craftsman.

Hi guys.....I have been fogging my hives since early Dec '02 when Pedro was kind enough to supply me with an adapter so I could use my large gas bottles.( Thanks again !)
Veroa mites ist arrived in my district about 6 mths ago and I have been fogging once a week due to heavy reinfestation and have recently increased this to every 4 days or so with the onset of fall.
Well it's now early autum and I gave my hives the "sugar roll" test to check mite numbers using about 200 bees per test/per hive.I really want to go into winter with strong hives and the "distructor" under control.
Hmmmmmmm....So far most of the hives have returned a mite count of between 10 to 30 per test.One test showed a count of 78 per 200 bees!! This was from a split done the day befor with 3 frames of capped brood and 4 of stores.
The mite count seems rather high across the board and I'm starting to feel abit concerned......I'm concidering putting in Apistan strips in an effort to get the numbers down quickly.
The whole veroa thing is still very new to us here and I, for one don't have a yard stick to go by...except y'all.
BTW I'm foging 40 hives to date.
Any thoughts would be apreciated.

Kittens found in Food City electrical piping
PINEY FLATS, Tenn. - Four kittens were saved Friday from electrical piping outside of Food City in Piney Flats, Tenn.
Food City employees and Washington County Animal Control worked together to get the cats out.
The electricity conduit pipes look similar to PVC piping.
They stuck straight out of the ground about waist high.
John Peters is a refrigeration technician at Food City.
He helped get the last kitten out of the tubes, Peters said.
"When I showed up at the store they already found some of the cats," Peters told us. "They discovered they were in the conduit and that's when we started trying to rescue them. We had to go get more tools."
Food City employees and animal control used a fishnet to rescue three of the cats.
The last one was too scared to get out.
They had to use a flexible, steel sewer rod and sponge to pull the fourth kitten out of the pipes, said Peters.
Peters decided to adopt that kitten after rescuing it.
"I told my wife and she says it's okay," Peters told the Animal Control officer.
He's glad to bring the kitten home to his family, he said.
"This is the one out of the pipe, yeah," Peters told us. "Giving it another chance."
Andrew Barnett, of Washington County Animal Control, told us they got all four cats out of the pipes but one of them is still missing.
They set a trap right behind the dumpster, near where the cat escaped, in hopes of catching it.
The kittens didn't end up in the pipes on accident, said Barnett.
"This right here is a definite," he told us. "As soon as you can see the pipes up as high they are, they're coming up to the waist or beyond, you pretty well know someone actually did that deliberately."
They are not looking for suspects, Barnett said.
They have to focus on helping the kittens, he told us.
"Right now they're scared, they're really hissy so were going to let them calm down and we'll go from there," Barnett said.
Barnett told us he hopes the rest of the kittens will also be adopted.

GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) _ Lawyers are set to square off in federal court over whether the effects of racial segregation persist in an eastern North Carolina school system.
A trial is scheduled to begin Monday in U.S. District Court in Greenville in the case of Everett v. Pitt County Board of Education.
A group of black parents represented by the UNC Center for Civil Rights will ask the court to reverse a 2011 student assignment plan they say effectively resegregated several schools in the district.
Lawyers for the Pitt schools will ask a judge to rule that the district has achieved ``unitary status,'' meaning the ``vestiges of past discrimination have been eliminated to the extent practicable.''
The designation would end federal oversight of the Pitt schools, in place since the 1960s.

San Mateo County Counsel: Contact Attorney General about disciplined prosecutor
Original post made by Holly L, Menlo Park: Linfield Oaks, on Apr 3, 2013
Following the news about the Bar's discipline, at the suggestion of a San Mateo Supervisor, several crime victims' families and other citizens have written to the Supervisors about Mckowan's violation of Marsy's Law on THREE cases.
The citizens have been notified by San Mateo County Counsel that they need to direct their "allegations" about Mckowan to the California Attorney General.
But the crime victims' families have already gone to the AG, back in August, 2011, after San Mateo District Attorney ignored all complaints about the violations about Mckowan.
In 2011, the AG told the citizens to go to the California Bar.
County Counsel stated in a letter to one citizen that a "substantive response to your allegations would involve an inquiry as to the official duties of a district attorney. If your allegations proved accurate, a proper response could include the provision of directions to the District Attorney's office as to how to discharge its official duties."
Now that there have been news reports about the Bar's discipline, will Kamala Harris take up this case?

Other San Mateo citizens who have experienced misconduct or unethical behavior by prosecutor Mckowan in their cases are encouraged to write to Attorney General Kamala Harris.

Kamala Harris do anything about this? Next life. She's too busy not doing her job. Attorneys protect attorneys. It's a perfect system. The rest of us can go suck an egg.
Until the sheeple of San Mateo County wake up and elect someone else besides the current crop of corrupt supervisors and throw our corrupt DA out of office, nothing will change.
Wake up San Mateo County. Some day you could be getting screwed over by our DA.

No other case involving a pedophile doctor in this country has taken SIX years, as the Ayres case has, and counting.
In the last few weeks, a number of California prison inmates have come forward to say that Ayres assaulted them when they were juveniles. One of these juvenile cases was VERY high profile. The prosecutor on it is now a judge who has made decisions very recently in the Ayres case.
Watch for that case to be overturned AND a whole slew of lawsuits against San Mateo County to be filed.
This is exactly what DA Steve Wagstaffe fears- lawsuits against his precious county and that some of the murder cases his office prosecuted will be overturned.
The lawsuits are coming, and there is no doubt that some of these convictions will be thrown out.
Pass the popcorn.
a resident of Menlo Park: Linfield Oaks
on Apr 4, 2013 at 5:39 pm
Two weeks ago, the Menlo Park Patch reported on a FOURTH case where prosecutor Melissa Mckowan had committed misconduct, when she failed to turn over witness testimony to the defense in the Horatio Carlos Teran case.
As a result of that story, someone in San Mateo government went to DA Wagstaffe to complain about her actions on this case.
Mystifyingly, the details about Mckowan's misconduct have recently been removed from the original story:
Why was it removed? Is the DA's office afraid of more disciplinary action by the California Bar?
Original story said this:
Web Link
The first time the case went to court on Sept. 12, 2012 the case was declared a mistrial, because witness testimony had not been provided to Armstrong, according to the DA's office. During this year's trial, the testimony was admitted.
That has since been removed.
a resident of Menlo Park: Linfield Oaks
on Apr 7, 2013 at 7:55 am
Menlo Voter: I respectfully disagree that Kamala Harris won't look at the problematic prosecutor in the San Mateo DA's office. For one, there have been press stories about it. We all know Harris is ambitious and likes press. Two, there are now THREE known cases of misconduct by the prosecutor, that were submitted to the California Bar.
Information has been submitted to Attorney General Harris that the prosecutor, in court papers in 2010, falsely accused a CRIME VICTIM'S family and prosecution witnesses of crimes they did not commit. Kinda hard for Harris to both ignore the news stories AND the false claims that have been made to the court by the prosecutor, in writing.
When one is trying to get someone in power to pay attention, it all comes down to timing.
The Atherton Almanac reporters should go back and look at that case from 2010.

I hope you're right, but I'll believe it when I see it. The San Mateo County DA's office has been a corrupt little cess pool for a long time. There's been plenty of opportunity for the AG to do something about it, yet none of them have. Makes one wonder why.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that can help support a balance of good bacteria in the gut. As a result' a probiotic supplement like Seroyal's HMF Replenish Capsules may work to promote digestive and immune system health. For example' this product might work to alleviate symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and certain types of diarrhea.
Every serving of HMF Replenish Capsules provides 100 billion CFU (colony-forming units). These probiotic pills contain five human-sourced strains; these strains include two types of Lactobacillus acidophilus' Bifidobacterium bifidum' Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis' and Lactobacillus salivarius.
HMF Replenish Capsules are also a convenient source of fructooligosaccharides (FOS). Fructooligosaccharides are prebiotics' which may encourage the creation of a more hospitable environment for helpful bacterial strains. In addition' this probiotic is formulated to survive the acidic environment of the stomach.
Yogurt is a well-known dietary source of probiotic bacteria' which can make it difficult for people to get enough probiotics if they don't consume animal products. Fortunately' HMF Replenish Capsules by Seroyal are vegan-friendly. The two-week supply may promote short-term colonization when levels of gastrointestinal flora have been reduced due to antibiotic use or other factors.

You didn't pave the way to ****. Your team had no bearing on me going to the playoffs. I will say it again: you could have ran the table all year and my team would have been in the playoffs.
And as for week 1 rankings, what do you want me to post? I was 1-0 after defeating Flip.

1. If the Giants stay healthy or at least healthier than last year, and a slightly better offensive line performance we have a chance as we did after our 07/08 SB Win.
2. Eagles - They generally start of slow every year, and catch fire at the end. But you can always count on Reid to blow it in tight spots. Perfect example is his 2 and 4 minute offenses. Also in the past it was McNabb who found the most inopportune times to choke. McNabb passed that torch to Vick, even though Vick was well on his way before that.
3. Cowboys - They generally start off on auto pilot in the first half of the season. Yet when it comes down to crunch time, they fold like lawn chairs. They are the Mini-mes when referring to Philly. Philly is the Big brother in the choking, Dallas is the little brother.
4. Redskins - Are they still in the division? Besides that their fan base thinks they are winning the SB every year, they always seem to be at the bottom of the barrel. Now if RG3 is as good as people think he will be, I can easily see it taking them probably a solid 4 years before they can actually make a difference and have a shot. Mike will rely on the run game, and the PAP, and small pass game with an occasion shot down the field as he did with Plummer.
Can any of these guys have a chance, sure, but year in and year out it seems to fall this way. Lets see if this year is any different. Should be fun either way.
