Replace mortar between stones in fireplace hearth support
My brick fireplace hearth is supported by large stones sticking out perpendicularly to my foundation wall in the basement. It forms a kind of shelf on top of which the hearth was laid. The stones themselves were attached together and to the foundation wall using mortar. This mortar was very crumbly and falling apart. I removed all the old mortar therefore the hearth is not supported by the stones anymore. I'm looking at replacing the old mortar and providing structural support to the hearth again. I was advised by a mason to inject new mortar above and between the stones using a mortar bag from below. He advised me to use type S mortar for this.
I already have a 60lb bag of Quikrete FastSet Repair Mortar. Is it wise to use this product in place of regular mortar, or should I really use mortar? The FastSet seems to be a structural solution so I don't see why it couldn't be used in this situation, but it's only advertised for concrete repairs, so I don't know.
Thank you.
Try the quickcrete first. You really dont need a fast setting product because time isnt of the essence. I am worried about the fast setting quickcrete brand getting hard inside the grout bag that you need to use. Make a little bit up in a small pale and see how long it takes to harden.Test and tune a lil and go from there. Overall not a difficult project at all you will have good success.
Ok, thanks, I will use type S between the stones because the fastset takes literally less than 20 minutes to harden and this will be hard to work with a bag. Also it cures to 6000 psi which is probably a lot stronger than the stones and apparently it might mess them up (or so I'm told).
Only way you would mess them up is to get the mortar smeared all over them. Take you time and make sure to be as clean as possible.

Gronk Hosting Ladies Night Football Clinic During The Buy Week Complete With Gronk-tinis…Of Course He Is
Boston.com – Centered around football, women, and adult beverages — three favorite features of many a single man in his mid-20s — the Patriots' tight end will host the inaugural Citi Rob Gronkowski Football 101 Women's Clinic on the Monday evening coming out of the team's bye week, joining with area high school and college coaches to direct activities at an event that promises a "focus on football basics with a social twist." When female Citi Card members who pay $99 arrive at 5 p.m., they'll first partake in a cocktail hour, where they'll have access to Gronk-tinis — the ingredients will be left to your imagination — along with beer, wine, and food. Before they leave, participants — who must be 21 or older — will also hear Gronkowski "give talks highlighting the finer points of the game of football and beyond," as well as take a team photo with the tight end, have the opportunity to win prizes, and go home with an authentic autograph and a T-shirt.
Fucking Gronk. Guy has been back in the mix for 5 minutes and he's already getting back to what he does best. Slaying bitches. Apparently he spent the past 9 months figuring out loopholes in our legal system that would allow him to prostitute himself legally. Now he's making chicks pay 100 bucks to come hang out and fight to give him a handjob. Because let's call a spade a spade. No chick is showing up to this thing to learn about football. They want the Gronk-tinis and the Gronk-tenis. Well played.

The Invisible Man HTML version
The Invisible Man Sleeps
Exhausted and wounded as the Invisible Man was, he refused to accept Kemp's word that
his freedom should be respected. He examined the two windows of the bedroom, drew up
the blinds, and opened the sashes, to confirm Kemp's statement that a retreat by them
would be possible. Outside the night was very quiet and still, and the new moon was
setting over the down. Then he examined the keys of the bedroom and the two dressing-
room doors, to satisfy himself that these also could be made an assurance of freedom.
Finally he expressed himself satisfied. He stood on the hearth rug and Kemp heard the
sound of a yawn.
"I'm sorry," said the Invisible Man, "if I cannot tell you all that I have done to-night.
But I am worn out. It's grotesque, no doubt. It's horrible! But believe me, Kemp, in spite
of your arguments of this morning, it is quite a possible thing. I have made a discovery. I
meant to keep it to myself. I can't. I must have a partner. And you -- We can do such
things -- But to-morrow. Now, Kemp, I feel as though I must sleep or perish."
Kemp stood in the middle of the room staring at the headless garment. "I suppose I
must leave you," he said. "It's -- incredible. Three things happening like this, overturning
all my preconceptions, would make me insane. But it's real! Is there anything more than I
can get you?"
"Only bid me good-night," said Griffin.
"Good-night," said Kemp, and shook an invisible hand. He walked sideways to the
door. Suddenly the dressing-gown walked quickly towards him. "Understand me!" said
the dressing-gown. "No attempts to hamper me, or capture me! Or -- "
Kemp's face changed a little. "I thought I gave you my word," he said.
Kemp closed the door softly behind him, and the key was turned upon him forthwith.
Then, as he stood with an expression of passive amazement on his face, the rapid feet
came to the door of the dressing-room and that too was locked. Kemp slapped his brow
with his hand. "Am I dreaming? Has the world gone mad -- or have I?"
He laughed, and put his hand to the locked door. "Barred out of my own bedroom, by
a flagrant absurdity!" he said.
He walked to the head of the staircase, turned, and stared at the locked doors. "It's
fact," he said. He put his fingers to his slightly bruised neck. "Undeniable fact."
"But -- "
He shook his head hopelessly, turned, and went downstairs.

Parallel to axis and with leads
Strain gauge (SG) chains types KY1, KY2, KY3, KY4, KY5, KY6, KY7, KY8 and KY9 consist of 10 or 15 very small measuring grids that are placed on a common carrier at a constant spacing (equidistant apart) plus one compensation SG. SG chains are especially suitable for determining strain gradients.
HBM also provides SG chains with multiple rosettes and alternating measuring grid directions, thus making it possible to determine the gradient of a biaxial stress state as well. The temperature responses of SG chains are adapted to customer specification. The nominal (rated) resistance of SG chains is 120 ohms.
For more detailed information about measuring with SG chains, refer to our technical publication "An Introduction to Measurements Using Strain Gauges".
The measuring grid consists of constantan; the material of the measuring grid carrier is polyimide.

Better World Books ROCKS!
SUBMITTED: Monday, September 15, 2014POSTED: Monday, September 15, 2014
Better World Books is my first choice for books. I am sorry to hear of a bad experience with BWB but I would suggest that it is not typical. I have been purchasing books from Bettter World Books for years and have always had great experiences. I have purchased many special out of print books that I remember from my childhood. Unfortuanley, these treasures didn't survive the love of my siblings but I wanted to share them with my own children. I have also purchased books that are in print but now only in paperback. I have ordered books in French. I have ordered things from the United States, the UK and France. It has made some treasured literature part of our home libaray in an affordable way. I would and do recommend Better World Books all the time and continue to shop there for gifts and for my family. To buy a used book is special...my children called them 'pre loved' books. Please don't hesitate to order from this organization because of one persons bad expereience.

Dr. Janet Travell, the President's Physician
Rescued from the digital depths of the Gelman website, the Special Collections Research Center has reformatted and spruced up our 2003 online exhibit, "The President's Physician: The Life and Legacy of Dr. Janet Travell."
Dr. Janet G. Travell (1901-97) was a faculty member of the George Washington University School of Medicine, a distinguished member of the medical community, and personal physician to two U.S. Presidents: John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson (and the first woman to hold the post). She was renowned in particular for her treatment of muscular pain; in fact, President Kennedy invited her to serve as his personal physician after she helped alleviate his chronic back pain. Dr. Travell co-authored, with David G. Simons, M.D., the acclaimed two-volume textbook Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manual, and also wrote an autobiography, Office Hours: Day and Night. The online exhibit mirrors the original physical exhibit, displayed in the library in 2003, to celebrate the processing of the Travell papers.
For more on the Travell papers, please browse the finding aid, and then let us here at Special Collections know (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you would like to see materials in this collection.

Cassidy Galleries650 E. Sample Road Pompano Beach, Florida USA
Cassidy Galleries, Estate Gallaries, Gary Nadel Fraud Auctioneer in Florida and North Carolina, sold items but never paid the owner Pompano Beach Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
"Although Mr. Nadel seems to be a professional thief, a letter with a legal header often persuades someone to take action."
This is a discussion message from Mr. Hoffman who lost items to Estate Galleries Auction located at: 1017 E Whitaker Mill Rd, Raleigh, NC 27608
Phone:(919) 900-8669
From BBB.org, a few complaints about this auctioneer: bought item shipped wrong; sold item not paid. Finally, letters to this auctioneer cannot be delivered.
Yes, it moved to Florida, or it should be said Moved Back to Florida.
Sometime in 2013, it changed its name to be: Cassidy Galleries. When you click the link for Estate Gallaries on the website of liveauctioneers.com, it will become Cassidy Galleries.
I consigned about 10 collectible items to Estate Galleries in October 2012, then I asked for the check many many times. The autioneer Gary Nadel kept saying: "will send check soon", "will send check next week". I have never received anything.
Later in 2013, I found that the company has moved to Florida.
Mr. Gary Nadel denied that Cassidy Galleries has anything to do with him. Obviously he wanted the consigners stop asking for his payments as he is out of the business. But if you call 954-545-0970 (number of Cassidy Galleries), it is Mr. Nadel who picks up the phone.
Mr.Hoffman said:"I have lost items to Gary Nadel as well.
He had four items he was going to sell for me. I finally received payment for two (after hounding he and showing up at the auction site on Whittaker Mill Rd repeatedly) although I believe he sold them for much more than he paid me. I picked up the third item and the forth (a set of six dining room chairs) are now "missing in action".
Hoping you have any contact information for him. Judging by what I read with a quick internet search, I'm not optimistic about receiving my chairs or payment."
I paid over $4000 to purchase the items for auction. Gary Nadel said $742.88 is what he owes. Even this small amount has never been paid.
The following is the communication between me and Gary Nadel, it is obviously a fraud or Thief as Mr. Hoffman said.
In the messages, Gary kept saying will send check, even asked my bank account number, saying to deposit. Of course nothing has happened.

Mr. Watson,
Can you please contact me at email@example.com as I would like to know more about your difficulties with Mr. Gary Nadel in Pompano Beach, FL.
I am in the process of purchasing thousands of dollars of art from a recent acution of his and I have some suspicions about the works, his prices (way to low for the artists he claims he is selling), and his attitude when I first contacted him for additional information and provenance on several artworks.
Thank you.

Celtics-Bulls Game Blog: Third Quarter
|12.19.08 at 6:49 pm ET
And we're back for the second half. Don't you hate it when announcers say, "welcome back" after a commercial break? You didn't go anywhere. You were trying to drown out the Saved by Zero ad. Sorry about that. It's been a long day.
Ok, Here we go….
THIRD QUARTER WRAP: That was an awesome display of team basketball. The C's shot 15-for-20 in the quarter and had assists on 12 of those buckets. Only three turnovers as well. The only question left tonight is will it hold up?
— Garnett said something to Rondo while they were taking the ball out of bounds and wouldn't you know it: Alley-oop to KG. I give that another few weeks before teams starting getting wise to it.
— Strangest interview ever: Willie Maye and Usain Bolt, the Jamaican sprinter, aka the world's fastest man. Great story in SI about Bolt back in October, by the way. A profile the way they used to do profiles.
— Perk has 21 points, but perhaps even more amazing, he has no fouls. Chicago isn't exactly a post-up team, but he hasn't even picked up the obligatory offensive foul setting a screen tonight.
— The Bulls don't exactly have interior defenders either.
— Everyone has at least 12 points, except for Rondo who has 13 assists.
— Whatever KG was saying after that dunk, Perk backed him up. "You are. You are." I'm thinking something along the lines of Samuel L. Jackson's wallet in Pulp Fiction.
— The lead is back up to 12, so the starters have done their job again. The starting five is playing tremendous basketball right now. Maybe the best they've played as a unit during their tenure, although that's the kind of off-the-cuff statement that often reveals itself to be hyperbole upon closer scrutiny.
— Here's another quirky stat: The Celtics have only shot 11 free throws so far, but they have 88 points. That'll happen when you shoot 63 percent.
— I wrote some rather extended steam-of-consciousness babble about KG the other day and one thing I think I should have said is that it is indisputable that the guy flat-out cares. Part of the reason his intensity catches people off guard is that it's very rare to see those kinds of outward displays of emotion. He was really ticked off when he picked up his fourth foul–and credit ref Mark Lindsay with not T'ing him up. He wasn't showing him up, he was just mad that he got a ticky-tack foul. That kind of emotion shouldn't be dismissed so casually by others. But let's be real. Most of those who have a significant issue with KG's on-court persona also have a problem with the Celtics. And vice-versa.

Cornard Wood
Gainsborough's Forest
Like the modest Dutch landscapes so popular in Suffolk homes during Gainsborough's boyhood, every detail is painted with meticulous care, leaves of the nearer trees are shown individually, and the blades of grass, clumps of weeds and lichen on the tree trunks are all minutely delineated. Cornard Wood, however, is not a slavish copying of nature. The painting does not represent any particular place - the objects and people that form the composition came from Gainsborough's sketches or his remarkable visual memory. Gainsborough never let realism interfere with his compositions, rather it is a loving celebration of a specific place at a moment in time.

I think we would have to know more before answering this question properly, though the first thing that comes to mind for me would be to get some of the dogs other good homes.
Tons of dogs living in a house together is a disaster waiting to happen. It also lowers the amount of personal care you can give to each. For example with only two dogs, it's easy to watch and listen for any signs of aggression or anything along those lines, but when you have 18, then there could have been signs that just were not noticed.

How I Learned To Deal With Bouts of Hypomania Caused By Bipolar Disorder II
This past summer I was on a high. I had read a motivational book, which I was absolutely convinced had cured me of my depression. I went from being a brunette to a very platinum blonde. While in this momentum (that I would soon learn was known as hypomania,) I hired a blog designer. I created a banner for my new blog all by myself by following step by step instructions found on YouTube. I had yet to decide upon my niche, but I suspected that mental illness would be my primary focus.
I also signed up to my local hot yoga studio; proclaimed myself a yogi; and purchased all new outfits to wear while I down-dogged. Then, to fill in the minutes when I was not working, wearing cute yoga gear, and familiarizing myself with the workings of my new blog, I took on remodelling the main floor of my house.
Shortly after establishing the above mentioned activities, I was diagnosed with bipolar II, and treatment began. One of the side effects of stabilizing my moods, however, was that the hypomania which had been fuelling my cockamamie ideas my entire life, was now subdued into a pleasant lethargy. My pink yoga mat was used once. My living room had only one painted wall for several months. And my shiny new blog, the one I was going to use to journal my mental illness, and perhaps connect with even one person who was also experiencing the same pleasant yet unfamiliar lethargy, was left without words, sentences, or any voice whatsoever.
My grand ideas of blogging late into the night; catching up on the activities I had missed out on in the blogging community during these past four years that I've been pursuing other activities, and/or begging for a reprieve from the soul crushing pain of my depression; everything sort of came to a standstill. Instead of spending my free time with my laptop creating content for my blog, or perusing the web to learn more about mood disorders and mental illness, or searching out other mental health bloggers to network with -- instead of changing the world and breaking down the stigma of mental illness one blog post at a time (as my Twitter bio states), I hung out on my couch watching every television program that had CIA characters sniffing out conspiracy theories.
Although this reprieve from my depression which had me side-lying in the groove my body has created in my mattress, or the alternative which had me up all night, googling "best trainers in North America" to aid in my body building come-back thanks to the hypomania which shot my thoughts from one realm of commitment to the next, neither of which I would ever commit to, laying supine on my couch rooting for Raymond Reddington just didn't feel like me.
For over 35 years, when my depression would have me upright long enough to switch gears, I've been buzzing from one potential achievement to the other. I use the word "achievement" loosely because most times my mind would have raced on to another plot line with the vision of an entirely different ending. Of course havoc is reeked as I stumble over obvious obstacles, such as lack of funds; lack of time; lack of knowledge. As debt incurs, as relationships crumble, as insurmountable problems prevent me from ever completing what I've started (because you can't own a cake baking business if you don't even have a proper kitchen in which to bake said cakes if the food inspectors explain to you over and over again that, "No, you can't bake your cakes in your own kitchen even if your cats aren't allowed on the counter tops,") -- as reality sets in that your life is not going at all in the direction you keep trying to force it into, it's easier to crawl back under a rock... I mean pillow.
Of course the inevitable failures send me careening downwards; the jubilant façade I portray while I chase yet another dream explode into torrents of tears; the self-esteem I displayed days before as I decorated a three tier birthday cake for a friend's little girl, the same friend who had suggested, "You should start your own business," -- that self-esteem has morphed into self-loathing.
And yet, despite this realization, now that I've experienced stability in mild doses as my medication is regularly tweaked to find the right balance, I question myself often. Is my thought to return to school to get my Masters something I really want? Or is it residual hypomania egging me on? I still wake at night and watch as the thoughts battle each other for my undivided attention. Am I sitting on my laptop at 3am composing a blog post which has for its purpose to help chip away at the stigma associated with having a mental illness because I truly want to be a voice?
Or is it because hypomania has currently grabbed hold of that thought and highlighted it in neon lights... until I forget to pay the hydro bill?
Clearly I don't know who I am anymore. The chick who lounges on the couch watching crime shows is foreign to me, and yet, the one who cries for months and months, then stands up long enough to Google, "When is the next Mental Health First Aid Class?" -- that one is familiar, but she's unreliable, even more so now that she's stable-ish.
Somehow CIS Chick and Mental Health Advocate Lady must learn to coexist in peace and harmony. Or one of them is going to kick the shit out of the other.
Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones publicly disclosed her diagnosis after seeking treatment. Though she wasn't initially going to come public (on an episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show," husband Michael Douglas said he suspects someone at the hospital leaked information to the press), Zeta-Jones has nonetheless voiced her support for those who also suffer from bipolar disorder. In an interview with People, Zeta-Jones said there is "no need to suffer silently," and that if her speaking up encourages just one person to seek help of their own, then her experience was worth it.
The Mayo Clinic released a statement in August of 2012 that the congressman and son of the Rev. Jesse Jackson was receiving treatment for bipolar II depression, after taking an unexplained medical leave two months earlier. His wife had previously called his depression "debilitating", the AP reported.
After spending three months in a rehab facility for bulimia, anorexia, cutting and depression, Lovato also announced she'd been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Lovato told People magazine she didn't know she had the disorder until she entered treatment. Lovato told AOL Music she plans to continue speaking out about her experience to help others. "I feel like it's no coincidence that God put me through all of this and has also given me the voice that I have. I feel like my purpose on earth is much greater than just being a singer, a musician or actress. I think it's to reach out to people and to raise awareness of these issues that not many people speak about."
The action star told E! Online he was being treated for bipolar disorder with the drug sodium valproate, Everyday Health reported. "Since I'm doing that it's, like, BOOM! In one week, I felt it kick in. All the commotion around me, all the water around me, moving left and right around me, became like a lake," he said.
The reality TV star has experienced a number of high-profile ups and downs on camera. She told People magazine that she takes medication for bipolar disorder after being diagnosed in 2008. "I don't think I'm bipolar, to be honest with you," she said at the time. "I'm just really outgoing. I think everybody thinks they're bipolar these days. You're a teenager, you have hormones. You're gonna switch up every two seconds!" But she spoke more vulnerably about her diagnosis later with E! News, saying "I struggle with it. I hate it. I grieve over it" of her diagnosis.
In 2007, Grammy-winning artist Sinead O'Connor appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" to talk about her battle with bipolar disorder. She said receiving treatment for the disorder made her reborn and gave her at chance at building a new life.
After canceling a number of the band's tour dates last summer, Passion Pit's lead singer told Rolling Stone he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder when he was 18 and was experiencing a particularly debilitating bout of depression when the band was set to tour. "My depression was so bad three weeks ago when we had to cancel everything -- people don't understand this. People don't understand that it's not just debilitating; it's all-encompassing," he told Rolling Stone.
Fisher first publicly discussed her experience with bipolar disorder with Diane Sawyer in 2000, telling Sawyer she was convinced for many years she was a drug addict before finding out she was manic depressive. Fisher has since been very open about her struggle with the disorder, including the time she spent in a mental hospital following a particularly difficult episode. "At times, being bipolar can be an all-consuming challenge, requiring lots of stamina and even more courage," Fisher wrote in her 2008 memoir "Wishful Drinking." "So if you're living with this illness and functioning at all, it's something to be proud of, not ashamed of."
The Academy Award-winning actress was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 35 years old. In an interview with "Everyday Health," Duke said the diagnosis came as a relief, because it meant she wasn't the only person in the world feeling the way she did. In her memoir "A Brilliant Madness: Living With Manic-Depressive Illness", Duke says she knew from a young age there was something wrong with her, "but I thought it was just that I was not a good person, that I didn't try hard enough." Duke has been an advocate for bipolar disorder awareness for years. She's spoken out about her experience on numerous occasions, including on "20/20," "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and during a 1997 interview with Barbara Walters on "The View." Duke told Walters she considered herself lucky to have had "access to the media, to write a book and talk about" her experience. Duke continues to speak out; in 2005, she was asked to testify before Congress on mental health-related issues.
The former "Dateline" NBC host discussed her bipolar disorder diagnosis in a 2004 interview with Matt Lauer. After struggling with minor depression for several months and not getting better, Pauley said she was shocked when the doctor explained she was actually suffering from bipolar disorder. In her 2004 memoir "Skywriting: A Life Out of the Blue," Pauley writes she doesn't know if or when she'll have another bipolar episode, but that she's now adapted and learned to be more aware of her moods and how she's feeling. "The world has not become spontaneously organized to make accommodations for my weaknesses while nurturing my newly discovered strengths," Pauley wrote.
The star of "Terminator" told Larry King in 2005 that the bigger her life and career grew, the worse her mental health and bipolar disorder became. And because she suffered from depression while growing up, Hamilton said she now has a very open dialogue with her children and reminds them it's okay to speak up about their feelings. In a 2006 interview for "Sidewalks," Hamilton described the mood swings she often suffered before being diagnosed and receiving proper care for the condition. "I like to speak out to let people know that they're not alone," Hamilton said.

As I began poring over basically every contract in the NFL, a few things leaped out at me. As I compared player value and salaries by position -- an annual exercise of mine this time of year -- it became clear that teams that have drafted well, especially in the new CBA, still have some absolute steals on their hands (think the 49ers with Colin Kaepernick and nearly their entire offensive line; Bengals with guys like A.J. Green). And it also becomes clear that soon enough they will have to spend massive bucks to retain that core.
In terms of bloated contracts, on the opposite side of NFL economics, as much as I tried not to focus on teams that went hog wild in free agency this offseason in compiling these lists, I still was left a bit jarred by the Colts' and Dolphins' spending splurges. When you break down just how much Miami is paying many of its vast 2013 free agent haul, it gets startling. It's hard to call anyone a bust before he has even played a game in his new uniform, but still, man, it's going to take an awful lot for guys like Mike Wallace, Dannell Ellerbe and Philip Wheeler to live up to the generous contracts the Dolphins bestowed upon them.
Oh, and Jets fans, my apologies. The reckless spending of the former regime there continues to cast a pall over the franchise, though, new GM John Idzik will be able to extricate himself out of most of this mess by 2014.
It's obvious that the new CBA has been a major coup for the owners, especially when it comes to entry level pay. With rookies unable to even think about renegotiating their deals for three years -- and their compensation already greatly curtailed by the relative slotting system in place now -- teams are basically stealing the prime of many of their best players at an absolutely stunning rate. The difficult thing was not finding guys on the all-under-paid list, but figuring out whom to leave off (especially quarterbacks, wide receivers and pass rushers).
And, to that point, in years past there would be an overflow of overpaid players from recent drafts -- first-round picks being compensated in the top 10 at their position who had failed to make any positive movement thus far in their NFL careers. Consider that a problem solved for owners now as well, and, when you strip down the guaranteed money language even on most of the biggest free agent deals signed this past offseason, you end up with by-and-large true commitments of only one to three years for most of the players, which isn't exactly long-term security even at the deeper end of the free agent spectrum.
Below is a look at some of the worst contracts that jumped out at me. In a league of more than 1,000 players, I am sure there is a strong case that could be made for other candidates on either side of the ledger, but these were some of the deals that leaped out at me for being too bad not to mention. In the case of the veterans making big coin, several of them only recently got paid, so you won't see most of them going anywhere for at least a few years given the contract structure, though they are certainly on the bubble now. Here's my list of the NFL's worst deals:
Mark Sanchez -- New York Jets ($8.8M in cash in 2013; $12.9M in cap): We all know the story by now: Jets management tried to create cap room and prop up Sanchez's sagging confidence and boost him for the arrival of Tebow Time in New York by rewarding the struggling quarterback with a fat contract extension. The deal came complete with some of the worst guaranteed-money contract language ever written (at least from a team's perspective). It made Sanchez un-cut-able and virtually un-trade-able. He could end up being the highest-paid backup in NFL history, earning more in an average-per-year sense than Tom Brady, Matt Ryan and Matthew Stafford (though that will change soon enough when Stafford and Ryan get new deals).Tony Romo -- Dallas Cowboys ($26.5M in cash in 2013; $11.8M in cap): The polarizing figure has long been the apple of Jerry Jones' eye, which is all that really matters in Big D. Romo's new deal this offseason nets him more than $25 million in year one of the deal, and puts the long-time playoff sufferer (and someone known for his big-game failures in general) up among the very elite among passers. Romo will average $18 million per year in this deal, fifth-most in the NFL. Given how his December and January numbers don't nearly match those from autumn, and given all the pressure that comes with being the QB in Big D, this fat new deal only ratcheted up the expectations. I don't see him as a top-five QB, not even close. But thanks to the next guy on this list, Romo was going to end up getting north of $15 million.
Matt Schaub -- Houston Texans ($7.3M cash; $10.8M cap): Staying in the state of Texas, Schaub's 2013 numbers don't look too crazy, but when you factor in he received a $17 million signing bonus at the start of the 2012 season in this new deal, and will have pocketed $29.7 million in the first two years of that deal, well his $15.5 million average/year in his new deal is more than guys like Big Ben and Philip Rivers and puts him right on the heels of Eli Manning, who has two rings as you well know. It's Super Bowl or bust for the Texans and possibly Schaub, too, as the Texans can walk away from him after this season with virtually no real cap or financial ramifications.
Offensive linemen
Eugene Amano, C -- Tennessee Titans ($3.9M cash; $6M cap): Overall, I didn't see too many egregious contracts at this position group, and there has been a market re-correction it seems. Amano was signed to an extension in 2010 thinking he would anchor the interior of their line. But they have ended up making big investments at guard, anyway, and he's fighting for a place with the unit with several options at center and still out of OTAs with knee issues. It would not be surprising if he's gone by the start of the season.
Jason Peters, T -- Philadelphia Eagles ($10M cash; $10.5 cap): When he is healthy, Peters is the highest-paid tackle in the league for good reason ... but he hasn't been healthy in quite some time coming off consecutive ruptures of his Achilles, and the Eagles spent a lot of time researching tackles in free agency and the draft for good reason. If he can play near top level, then no one will say boo about his contract and if he doesn't, with a new coaching staff running things with the Eagles, then his future may not be long there.Gosder Cherilus, T -- Indianapolis Colts ($15.5M cash; $3.9M cap): God bless agent Adam Heller, one of the truly good guys in this business and someone who hit an absolute home run for his client here. The Colts were throwing around money like mad this offseason and Cherilus, a relatively nondescript solid starter, is suddenly the highest-paid right tackle in the NFL. This is one of those new contracts that I tried to avoid for the purposes of this list, but when you start parsing through the highest-paid tackles in the NFL, it's too rich to omit -- especially in a right tackle market where guys like Tyson Clabo have to sign late in free agency on the cheap.
D'Brickashaw Ferguson, T -- New York Jets ($8M cash; $5.6M cap): The Jets extended Ferguson expecting he would be the best player on an elite offensive line, but he and the unit have sagged since and Ferguson is the third-highest paid left tackle in the league at $10 million per year after his renegotiation in April. He received $6.4 million in a signing bonus, lowering his cap figure, but is still making considerably more per year than, say, cross-town tackle Will Beatty of the Giants.
Tight ends
Marcedes Lewis -- Jacksonville Jaguars ($4.4M cash; $5.8M cap): Lewis has done close to nothing since signing his hefty deal in 2011. Not that the Jags have had an ideal quarterback situation, but the lack of production from Lewis has been stunning, and some thought he would be part of this year's contract purge. Lewis's average of $8.8 million per season on this deal trails only Tony Gonzalez, Jermichael Finley, Jared Cook, Antonio Gates, Vernon Davis, Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski among all NFL tight ends, and, well, one of these things is not like the others.
Anthony Fasano -- Kansas City Chiefs ($5.8M cash; $2.4 cap): The Dolphins' offense needed major help and they were tossing around millions like candy, and, well they didn't think Fasano had anything to offer, and he hasn't done much lately. But the Chiefs were quick to snap him up. Maybe Andy Reid knows something the rest of the league doesn't, but this free-agent signing had a lot of people scratching their heads in March.
Running backs
Jonathan Stewart -- Carolina Panthers ($3.2M cash; $3M cap): Stewart looked like about the fourth-best option in this crowded backfield in 2012, and even after redoing his deal to stay, this figure still seems bloated. De'Angelo Williams (another strong candidate for this list) remains with the Panthers, Cam Newton is becoming the best rushing quarterback perhaps in NFL history, and fullback Mike Tolbert sees a lot of the ball around the goal line, with seven touchdowns himself. In an era where running backs have been largely devalued, and none were taken in the first round this spring, that's a lot of money for a role player at this position.Darren McFadden -- Oakland Raiders ($5.9M cash; $9.7M cap): Perhaps McFadden will be a better fit in the new offense there because he was a non-factor in the zone scheme implemented last season. His injury woes are well chronicled and it seems like a long time ago he was making a case for a rushing title. In the final year of his rookie contract, and, again, with running backs by and large a value play around the league, you have to wonder if he's back with the Raiders in 2014, and what exactly the free-agent market would look like for him.
Wide Receivers
Mike Wallace -- Miami Dolphins ($12M cash; $3.3M cap): Yes, he has yet to catch a pass from Ryan Tannehill, but I can't help but wonder if the Dolphins will get bang for their buck here, and be able to exploit his speed. Wallace faltered badly last year with a new contract on the line after holding out of camp, yet still became the fourth highest-paid player in the league at his position. We'll see how that works out, but he is not nearly as complete as the guys in his pay grade, and the Steelers generally have a good idea when it's time to let a guy go, particularly a wide receiver like ...
Santonio Holmes -- New York Jets ($7.8M cash; $9M cap): Another gift from former GM Mike Tannenbaum, the malcontent again was battling injuries last season, offered little production yet still was among the higher-paid receivers in the league. The language in his deal, like that of Sanchez, prevented Idzik from jettisoning him, but it's hard to imagine he will be around in 2014. From an average-per-year perspective, Holmes is making similar money to Roddy White. That's where any comparisons between the two would end.
Champ Bailey -- Denver Broncos ($10.8M cash; $10.8M cap): Bailey has held up well at an advanced age, but if anyone believes he is the second-best corner in the league (much less his team), they're nuts. I'm surprised the Broncos didn't try to play around with his deal (only Darrelle Revis, at $16 million a year, makes more), and Bailey enters this season coming off a playoff game in which the Ravens tested, and exploited, him mercilessly. He is a sure-fire Hall of Famer and maybe the best corner of his era ... but you can't pay on past performance and projecting Bailey to play like he did five years ago is a risky proposition.
Antonio Cromartie -- New York Jets ($9.5M cash; $6.5M cap): Cromartie stepped up last year with Revis injured, but consistency has long been his issue and the pressure will be on to be a true No. 1 corner given how he is being paid. This is another case where the Jets were trapped by a prior deal and limited in what they could do. With a $5 million roster bonus looming in 2014, this is yet another case where 2013 could be it in New York for a well-paid veteran.
Carlos Rogers -- San Francisco 49ers ($5.9M cash; $7.3M cap): It wasn't that long ago that Rogers was on the all-bargain team, but he hasn't been as productive since signing a new deal a few years back. There is some debate over his place in the secondary with other corners emerging and we'll see if Rogers can rediscover the form that made him such a standout in his first season with the 49ers.
SafetiesLaRon Landry -- Indianapolis Colts ($11M cash; $5.8M cap): Yes. That's $11 million cash for Landry, a budget signing by the Jets in 2012, just for the 2013 season. For someone who has had such injury issues, and hasn't lived up to his draft billing, that's a ton of coin. Heck, it's a lot of money for any defensive back in the NFL, period, and history would indicate Landry's body might break down again. That's a very risky signing in my opinion.
Troy Polamalu -- Pittsburgh Steelers ($7.5M cash; $10.2 cap): The oft-injured former playmaker hasn't been the same guy for years but he's the highest-paid strong safety in the league. His $10.5 million-per-year average salary is $2 million more than anyone else at his position. It's been a long time since we've seen Polamalu's best and, with the Steelers defense in transition, this could well be his last year there.
Defensive ends
Mario Williams -- Buffalo ($15M cash; $12.4M cap): There were all kinds of warning signs when the Bills made this record signing in 2012, including how long it took Williams to finally put pen to paper. And that was before his mysterious injuries from 2012, his awful start to the season and now his off-field concerns regarding his ex-fiancée and her allegations. By the end of 2013, Williams will have already pocketed $40 million from Buffalo and Bills fans better pray this doesn't become a Haynesworth-ian bust, with the region's entire focus on Williams entering what had better be a big second season with the Bills.
Ryan Pickett -- Green Bay Packers ($6.2M cash; $6.7M cap): Pickett has been underrated for a long time, but having now been switched more into a nose tackle role -- which suits him -- he isn't as explosive in the backfield and is more of a space eater, allowing younger defensive linemen like B.J. Raji to move around. He's making similar money to Justin Tuck, and with Raji in line for a new deal and the Packers notoriously frugal and Pickett now 33, it will be interesting to see how this plays out, as the Packers have drafted several defensive linemen recently. Can Pickett keep it up for another season taking as many snaps as he generally does?
Defensive tacklesGerald McCoy -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers ($8.3M cash; $11M cap): Only Haloti Ngata and Ndamukong Suh make more than him at this position, but McCoy has been unable to stay on the field with injuries and he needs to put that behind him. McCoy has flashed at times but given how high he was picked and how much he's being paid as one of the last bonus babies of the old CBA, he needs a breakout season. Suh, who is set to make $12.15 million himself, needs to maintain his highest level of play as well to justify his salary.
Jay Ratliff -- Dallas Cowboys ($5M cash; $4.1M cap): Ratliff's production has fallen off since he signed his deal and he had a very troubling DUI. And now he needs to find a way to fit into a new defense. His average of $8 million a season puts him among the very elite defensive tackles in the game but you don't expect to hear a guy making that kind of money if entering a prove-it season, and with the Cowboys spending so much time studying defensive tackles in this draft, that's never a good sign for the struggling incumbent.
David Harris -- New York Jets ($11M cash; $13M cap): Another case of chronic Jets overspending, Harris is a nice linebacker but not an elite one and he hasn't been for a little while now after absorbing so much abuse. Particularly with inside linebackers being devalued, this is crazy money. Again, contract language with guarantees limited what the Jets could do here. Harris is making more money than young stars like Daryl Washington and James Laurinaitis, even though he renegotiated in 2011 and they have been paid since then.
Dannell Ellerbe -- Miami Dolphins ($8M cash; $2.4M cap): Ellerbe had a breakthrough season with the Ravens, but they had some concerns about him off the field, how he would respond to making major money, and they never offered more than $4.5 million a year -- and they know him best. Miami is paying him $7 million a year. So do you trust Ozzie Newsome's valuation of a player he has had on his team since he entered the league, or Jeff Ireland? Ellerbe is being paid like an elite linebacker -- we'll see if he can be a 16-game-a-year guy.
Philip Wheeler -- Miami Dolphins ($8M cash; $2.4 cap): A year ago, Wheeler signed a one-year deal with Oakland, having left the Colts. It included a $700,000 base salary and a maximum compensation of $1 million. A year later he absolutely broke the bank as Ireland tried to reinvent his linebacking group. Sure, he's a nice player and all, but, again, he's being paid big money at what has become more of a bargain position. The combined money doled out to Wheeler and Ellerbe amounts to a very significant investment that would require very real results to justify.

Dress for Success has been around in Houston since 1998, providing suits for women who can't afford one.
President Nancy Lavicki says they usually serve about 3,000 women a year, but because of the economy, the need has increased dramatically.
"Last year we served 15 percent more women than we had served the year before. But beyond the numbers, we're really seeing women who have been secure in jobs for a very long time and find themselves for the first time out of work."
The typical client at Dress for Success is a low-income woman who may be getting off the streets or moving into a steady work environment.
Lavicki says this year they're seeing women from all walks of life in need of a job and in need of an interview-ready outfit.
"Just imagine for yourself, you've been secure in a job, you haven't maybe had an interview in 10 or 15 years and that in itself is so intimidating to go back into that process of interviewing for a job and hoping for the best. And I think that the boost that they receive at Dress for Success is the fact that the suit that they may not be able to afford gives them that confidence that they need."
Lavicki says they need to provide suits for 4,000 women this year. About 70 percent of that will be collected through the Send One Suit drive over the course of the next week. Suits can be dropped off at any MW Cleaners location, as well as at the Dress for Success headquarters on Dacoma just east of 290.

Is there anyway I can clear cache, say after download an app from Market, install and uninstall it?
Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Select the app you want > Clear Memory?
I did navigate "Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Select the app you want " till this point. Next to this I could see "Clear Data" and "Clear Cache" buttons. For mOst of the apps, Clear Cache is disabled and only Clear Data is enabled.
What is the impact if I click "Clear Data"? what data will be cleared here?
Dont say give it a try ;-))
The 'Clear Data' will clear any data since the app has been installed, user data and high scores etc. Don't think it will clear saved games though.
If you want to locate where the data is installed check the following structures:
/sdcard/gameloft (or Glu depending on who manufactured the app)
Thanks for the reply.
I have not installed any games yet. I have checked my emails, browse thru the Android market app, used maps, GPS, photo editor, Accu weather, News & weather.
I think now something is screwed up. I have cleared Data for some of the apps and Force stop some of the apps from the "Manage Applications" -> All
Now I have lost my Wall paper and not able to set one. I am getting the wallpaper only for my Lock screen not for my home screen. Instead I am getting the default SGSII wallpaper image. :-(
I think I have done too much for the day?
Any help would be appreciated.
THanks in advance
Rebooted the phone, working fine now. Pls IGNORE the above query

Haha I think you're tinkering a bit too much. You only really need to clear data if that app is misbehaving, I had to do it for contacts once but made sure everything was synced to google so my contacts reappeared shortly afterwards.
There is a solution to your wallpaper problem. The wallpapers that came with the SGSII are basically an application (.apk install file), install the Wallpapers.apk and you should be fine....the problem is finding the Wallpapers.apk that came with your SGSII.
Tbh I would just go Google Images and find some new ones. I have a resource page which has around 50 wallpapers, all 800x960 contained in a zip.
Hi...I too am faced with the same problem. Ive tried to clear some space as suggest by clearing all the cache space but it hasn't helped much. Of the 3.94GB used, miscellaneous file occupies 2.23GB with my apps taking up only 739MB. Please help!!
If you don't know how the data got there (apps, games), you could try a factory reset and format your phone memory. Then add your apps back. Backup any data you need before you start because you'll lose it all.

I think I might need to replace my tranny mount, but if anyone knows better what might be the cause of this, i'd greatly appreciate it


text: Say,I just thought I'd post this. Because I'm sure a lot of us have thought about it. Though I myself can't really think of how to start putting into words what I've always thought about this. So I guess the best way for me to say what I've always thought is to just say that...Yes...I have indeed thought a LOT about what it might be like to be in my fav. Skater's place. On-Ice = If it we ME out there I must say that I probily would feel a little nervous. Yet uncurtain to if (even though I'd practiced) I still would be able to do my Program right, when I actually DID get out there. I probily would be hiding in the Men's Room after I got off the ice to keep from hearing my scores. As again I'd be too nervous. LOL,get it? Off-Ice = This ones a little hard. As who really knows what Skaters do at home. But I guess I'd say that if it were me I guess I'd be keeping track of the extra time to make sure that ALONG with my Practice I always DID have time to play!! LOL. Well everyone!!!! That's MY input = Now I want to hear YOURS!!! Please include an On-Ice/Off-Ice format for yourself in your fav. Skaters place. Also I ask you all to be yourselves as I did ( how you normally are in really life...the type of person you are,and your real personality) for this one. Ok my Friends....GO!!!!!

For the past week my broadband has kept disconnecting from the internet, most of the time it will stay disconnected for a couple of hours. That isnt the only problem as whenever the internet is connected (which is max 1 hour before it disconnects again) the speed is painfully slow. I dont usually get fast speeds, i think the max iv ever had was 2Meg, but im getting dial up speeds at the moment. I have been with BT for a long time and have option 3.
i have phoned BT, they told me to check the filters, use the test socket and they did some tests on my line which turned out to be all ok. They told me they would call me back in 24 hours after observing the broadband line. well they didnt call. i phoned again this morning and they were positive it is a problem with my home hub even though i told them that other routers i tested showed the same problems.
i did a speed test
Download speedachieved during the test was - 83 Kbps

Almond-Chocolate Coffee Cake
Recipe by Pinay0618
I don't remember where I found this recipe - but I jotted it down because the ingredients were a bit different. This is not an overly sweet cake, has only a little chocolate, and I love the flavor the yogurt brings.
Top Review by EppiRN
FYI - directions call for baking soda and baking powder, but no powder listed in ingredients. Similar recipes appear to use 1 tsp baking powder. I made mine with ONLY baking soda, rose up nicely, but dense like cornbread. Might try adding 1 tsp baking powder next time.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup coarsely chopped almonds, toasted
- 1⁄3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1⁄4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped dried apricot
- 3⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 3⁄4 cups flour
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 3⁄4 cup butter, softened
- 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups plain yogurt
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 350. Generously butter 10-inch Bundt pan or 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
- Combine nuts, brown sugar, morsels, cocoa, coffee granules, apricots and cinnamon in medium bowl; set aside.
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in medium bowl; set aside.
- Beat butter in large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract; beat for 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, until mixture is completely smooth. Alternately add flour mixture and yogurt; beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix until smooth. Pour half the batter into prepared pan. Spread half the nut mixture on top; repeat layers.
- Bake for 1 hour or until wooden pick inserted near center comes out almost clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes before carefully turning cake out onto rack. Serve warm with powdered sugar sifted lightly over the top, if desired.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I don't know if I ever thanked you for your help. I got the tension just perfect on the Singer 27. I took off the piece that hangs down under the thumb nut. I think it is for separating the tension discs but I don't know what it is called. Once I removed that one small piece, I was able to adjust the tension correctly.
I am now happily sewing along on this beautiful old machine.
Hello QuiltFaerie,
Congratulations on your lovely machine.
I appreciate you are trying to get the machine stitching, but you need to keep the thumb tab on with the tension discs and keep on working until you get the tension right with the tension discs properly assembled. You might find these posts on my blog helpful.
Have you checked the tension on the shuttle? If it is too loose this will have the same effect as the top tension being too tight. You need to do the shuttle dangle test, which is shown here
You cannot be sure that the spring is too tight until you have checked the shuttle, adjusted it if necessary, and tried the stitch with the tension discs properly assembled with the thumb tab, spring and nut in place.
If you want to try Peek metal polish (link on the blog if you want to buy it online) it will remove the oil residue and polish the metal all in one go. Don't be tempted to try and get the oil residue off the decals in the same way because you could end up stripping the decals.
Good luck!
You're welcome, but like Muv said that piece was there for a reason. I did not remove anything on my machine. After working with both the top and bottom tensions I switched out the top tension spring for a lighter one. All the parts are still there.
You're not done with the tensions yet. Follow Muv's advise and make it right.
Hey, what is the purpose of that thumb tab, do you know? I found it odd that taking it off was what made the difference as it didn't seem to really add much dimension to the tensioner.
Yes, I also adjusted the shuttle tension. I have a longarm so doing the bobbin test is a familiar activity.
Duh, never mind, just read Muv's blog link.
Well, the planets must have just aligned or something because I added back the thumb tab and the tension is still working. Maybe just playing with it, etc. finally got it working correctly. And now I know what the thumb tab is for also. The things I learn on this site.
So did I. I realized my machine is a later one that does not have the thumb tab, so now I know what it is for.
Learn something new every day, and life stays interesting.

Yo! Majesty Split, Jwl B Serves Jail Time?
Reports are coming through from various blogs (Brooklyn Vegan and Miami New Times) and the band's PR firm Biz 3 that Yo! Majesty's Jwl B has left the band and has been serving jail time. The band will carry on with Shunda K carrying on as Yo! Majesty without Jwl B.
From a press release:
Yo! Majesty was supposed to be embarking on a world tour that would push the critically hailed lesbian Christian rap duo out of the underground once and for all.
Instead, half of the Tampa, Fla.-based group, singer/rapper Jwl B, is behind bars in Florida on an assault charge and apparently out of the crew for good.
"It's unfortunate for her, but for me it's actually a burden off my shoulders," rapper Shunda K (also known as LaShunda Flowers) said of her longtime partner's recent incarceration. "It started being ridiculous the things she was doing. It's actually divine intervention. I'm not sad. I'm relieved."
Read more by clicking on the blog links above.
UPDATE: Carrie Yates, personal assistant to Jwl. B, has written a letter to blog Brooklyn Vegan saying that Shunda K.'s statements regarding Jwl. B's departure from Yo! Majesty are false, though it is true that Jwl. B has been serving time. Read more here.

Apel travel Travel scam Brooklyn New York
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
A trip to Barbados was arranged for a family of 10 by this travel agency, the agent Theresa Jones made the arrangements, she was given approximately $6000.00 for plane tickets.
Things started to happen, on July 13th I checked my ticket online and the flight was not booked although they had received the money months ago. I called American Airlines to confirm and they said that the tickets were not paid for.
The travel agent was called and she denied it but what she did nis to pay for it later that day because I called American Airlines and they had just been paid for that evening.
My sister,who had made the arrangements, called the travel agent to confirm that the tickets were paid. What the travel agent did was made a three way call the next day with her and the American Airline agent to confirm that all the tickets were paid for.
This was on July 14th, on July 15th the travel agent from Apel travel went back into the computer and cancelled all the tickets except mine, I think she knew that I would be checking online.
The night before the trip, on July 30th when we started to check online to confirm our seats, we realized that we all had bogus tickets.
We went to Apel travel and received no recourse, they stated that the agent does not work for them but despite this she is the one who answered the telephone on their premises. The tickets were issued through them.
I spoke with an agent from American Airlines and she reported it to her supervisor because she told me that looking in the system the tickets had been booked and cancelled many times, and it seemed fraudulent.
Meanwhile, at the travel agency,s office I was able to look in their computer system while an agent there "claimed"she was trying to find us tickets. She showed me the many transaction that were done by this agent Theresa Jones playing around with our money.
we tried to contact Theresa Jones but she sent my sister a text stating that she is in the hospital. Ironically, her brother came into the travel agency while we were there to drop off a package from Theresa to the staff there. We asked if she was in the hospital? He said no,that she was in Pennsylvania.

Gotta give you guys tons of credit. Nice victory and Cruz got me alot of fantasy points today.

Gotta give you guys tons of credit. Nice victory and Cruz got me alot of fantasy points today.
thanks. But there is still some work too do. Brown stepped up when Bradshaw went out. Locklear slid over to RT when Diehl went down and Beatty was back at LT. And Eli made adjustments in the 2nd half to overcome that terrible 1st half.
But we cannot continue to depend on Tryon at CB, he just sucks. He is worth ST and maybe some nickel or dime packages, but thats it.
I'm just waiting to see if those Tampa Bay fans come back here and talk some smack in the next day or 2. It is funny to see Tampa fans come here and talk smack. But I guess they have something to be excited about. I just wonder if a couple of those Tampa posters were former Eagles/Cowboys posters under a new screen name?
It was a good time.
I hope everyone comes back strong and the injuries don't keep em' out.
Tom was upset that we knew your play call at the end of the game. It's good having his former QB coach as our coordinator.
You were victims of classic Eli. Looks lost in first half with the 3 picks and one retuned for 6. Missing open WRs that could of been TDs. Then gets two drives to End third and one near start of 4th that were nice but he couldn't finish ending in FGs. Then he does what he does best. OWN the 4th quarter. 3 td drives for 22points in the clutch. 25 overall in the 4th... Game over
Oh and not to mention he more then doubled Freeman's 243 torching your defense for 510 yards and 3tds dishing out 199 to Nicks and 179 to Cruz. Also last week you bragged about holding Carolina to 10 rushing yards. Well you let a rookie run you over for 71 yards and 94 overall. Your defense gave up over 600 yards of offense. Remind you of college football coach?
We should have started Orlovsky. He's a baller.

WASHINGTON, Sunday—Yesterday morning I attended the closing session of the conference on "Children In A Democracy," and we heard the final report and recommendations for action given by Mrs. Dunbar, President of the Federation of Women's Clubs. The group attending these conferences is an important and representative group. The fact there is a government department like the Children's Bureau, which can give leadership, ensures continued progress during the next ten years.
A number of people are staying in the house. It was a great pleasure to have Miss Vandy Cape in for luncheon Saturday on her way through Florida. She brought me a bag made by a Czechoslovakian refugee and told me of the struggle he was making, not only to support himself, but through his skill to give work to others, both refugees and unemployed Americans.
Artists are proverbially generous people and the legitimate theatre in New York City under Helen Hayes's chairmanship, is making a great effort through benefit preformances, to add to the Finnish Relief Fund. She, herself, will give a performance of "Ladies And Gentlemen" in Boston on January 28th. Gertrude Lawrence will give one in "Skylark," on January 29th in New York City, and this performance will be attended by many notables. Paul Muni, Tallulah Bankhead, Katharine Hepburn, Eddie Dowling, Katharine Cornell, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, S. Hurok and the company of "Pins And Needles" will all donate their services for performances. Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne have agreed to give an entire week of benefit performances.
The rest of us can do little but go and enjoy ourselves. I hope we will go in great numbers wherever these performances are given, for I think the people of America can not help but have an admiration for the Finns.
Yesterday afternoon, I had a meeting with the leaders of consumer organizations. There were government officials present and the people interested from the scientific point of view, as well as those interested because of their work among people who very greatly need consumer information. Miss Helen Hall, who is chairman of the Consumers' National Federation and head of the Henry Street Settlement in New York City, arranged the meeting.
I was very grateful for the opportunity to learn more about the three main objectives of these organizations. They are: more useful information on labels, in advertising and in salesmanship; more facts about the quality of goods, their prices and the conditions under which they are made; and representation of consumers at council tables of business and government where decisions are being made affecting the goods and services coming to the market.
