With the annual Celebrating Winter Festival activities behind us and both the Chili Cook Off and Fish Derby slowly-fading memories, Islanders are ready to begin anew as winter loosens its grip. Spring, like all the seasons on Washington Island, is more about Mother Nature's clock than a date on the calendar. Let us share all the seasons with you and your family.
Springtime on Washington Island begins with snow still ever-present, warming sunny days and chilly nights. But it's the curious steam that rises from the sugar bushes sprinkled throughout the Island that signals the new season and tells us that it's maple syrup time. Soon-to-be liquid gold is collected by the many Islanders who, each using their own private process, produce signature brands of maple syrup.
Summer & fall bring an explosion of activity. Museums open their doors and provide an abundance of activities like the Pioneer Days & the Harvest Fest at the Farm Museum and art shows or nature programs at the Art & Nature Center. Jacobsen Museum presents regional history in a structure hand built by an Island icon and our Maritime Museum allows you into the world of our maritime history on the great lake. New this year is the Historic Island Dairy and the Shops of Fragrant Isle featuring products inspired by the fields of lavender on the Island. Many of us enjoy a game of regulation or mini golf at Deer Run Course with no tee times required, that's the Island way.
Your visit should include a 'taste' of Washington Island. We recommend sharing a glass of Island Wheat from Capital Brewery, a cocktail with Death's Door Spirits or Island Orchard Cider. Foodies will enjoy a splash of Verjus from Lyons Isle Vineyards. All these products and more boast their beginnings here on Washington Island and are available at Brothers Too for carry out and at several of our eateries.
No franchises here, the Island's family owned eateries incorporate local produce and products in many dishes and some unique favorites. Grab a Monster Shake at the Albatross, a soup/sandwich combo at the Danish Mill or the 'killer' coffee at the Red Cup. Karly's, famous for their burger night blow outs or Nelsen's Hall & Bitter's Pub nightly soup/salad bar and famous Bitter's Club, amp up the choices. For an explosive meal head to KK Fiske for an authentic fish boil. Bread and Water offers vegetarian options and homemade pies; get your Irish on at Fiddler's Green with Guinness on tap and a panini. Ship's Wheel has popular walleye dinners and Nana's baked goods, while Sunset Resort breakfasts offer wonderful Icelandic pancakes. Timeout Concessions' Chicago-style hot dog is terrific, and Island Pizza is simply amore by the slice. Sailor's Pub is your port of call for upscale dining on the water, and Findlay's Holiday Inn is a popular Friday fish fry destination.
Summertime means more entertainment. Live bands & jam sessions erupt at various spots on the Island. The Trueblood Performing Arts Center hosts the Washington Island Music Festival as well as an ongoing schedule of year-round entertainment. The Red Barn presents a variety of local artists, including local legend Julian Hagen, in a park-like setting. Annual events like the Island Fair, the Death's Door BBQ competition, the Fly In, Scandinavian Festival and the Canoe & Kayak race and expedition might suit the adventurer in you. There are more things to see and do than available time…so you'll have to sleep over. When you have slept on an Island, life is never the same!
There's an island bounty of accommodations, including motels, inns, cabins, resorts and camping options to suit all needs and pocketbooks (washingtonisland-wi.com). Wake to the serenade of birds passing through a major flyway, a birder's paradise. And every season offers photographers sensational views and memories for the family album.
Enjoy fishing, swimming and water fun in Mother Nature's environmentally-friendly waterpark, Lake Michigan. The catch of day may be a minnow or a contest-winning salmon, perch, walleye or bass. Forgot your license? Visit the Island Outpost, Kap's Marina or Mann's Mercantile and pick-up the latest fishing updates (and stories). Shipyard Island Marina will accommodate your vessel or help with unexpected repairs. Paddlers head to the folks at Bread & Water, for canoes and kayaks. A trip to Wisconsin's only island park, Rock Island is more than just hiking – it's home to the Pottawatomi Lighthouse, the first U.S.-commissioned light on Lake Michigan.
Shopping here means no big box stores but friendly family shops with unique gifts. The Kaupstauder offers Scandinavian gift items and Island Outpost will outfit you head to toe. Mann's Mercantile has locally made gifts, while the work of students and instructors at Sievers Fiber Art School is a must see. The sterling silver work of DeWitt Jewelry is displayed at the Red Cup along with work by other local artisans. Bookworms will enjoy the writings of Island writers and other best-selling authors at Islandtime Books or Books up the Road.
One hundred miles of paved roads provide cyclists of every level an opportunity to navigate the island. Bike and moped rentals are available. No car, no problem, the Island Shuttle can transport you. The Cherry Train and Viking Train tours provide a glimpse of Island life, and flyers will be happy to hear they can touchdown and tie down at the Washington Island Airport.
What we don't have makes us special. We're a community that is about our nature, our neighbors and our guests. Come, be our guest and let us share this life experience with you anytime of year. We're here waiting to welcome you to Washington Island. Welcome to our home!

At the 5th International Summer School on "Keynesian Macroeconomics and European Economic Policies", organized in Berlin from July 27th to August 2nd, one day will be dedicated to stock-flow-consistent modeling
SFC modeling at the Minsky Summer Seminar
Again this year we will present stock-flow consistent modeling at the annual Levy Minsky Summer Seminar.
Speakers include Marc Lavoie and myself, and in the Stock-Flow Lab we (Michalis Nikiforos and myself) will guide participants to building a stock-flow model from scratch using Eviews
A Winter school on AB and SFC models
Applied Macro-Modelling: Fully Scalable Models – 2nd Edition
Winter School On Agent Based And Stock Flow Consistent Modelling
Limerick, January 26th – February 3th
Why You Should Join Our Winter School
If you are a highly motivated student of economics at master or Ph.D. level, or you are working with a research center or a public institution and want to spend one week studying, researching, discussing, and exchanging experiences in the nice atmosphere of an Irish University campus nurtured by international experts and fellow students from all around the world, our winter school offers you:
One-week winter university with international students and lecturers.
An opportunity to produce and confront research outputs such as thesis chapter or working paper with established scholars.
Lab modules, to learn how to implement and apply the theoretical models using software like R, Java.
Social activities
SFC at the Minsky Summer Seminar
This year, as in the previous years, Marc Lavoie and Gennaro Zezza will be presenting the Stock-Flow-Consistent modeling approach at the Minsky Summer Seminar at the Levy Institute.
Stocks and Flows Reading Group on YSI commons
INET's Young Scholar Initiative has created, under the suggestion of Neil Lancastle and Jay Pocklington, a virtual reading group of SFC models as well as of Godley and Lavoie's Monetary Economics. If you're interested, send me an email and I'll invite you to the groups.
Files from SF lab, day #2
On the second day we introduce an investment function and explore model properties by shocking parameters.
Lab Files #2
Rename the .txt file to .prg to run it into Eviews
Finally we prepare a more complex accounting structure for the last lab exercise (excel file)
Stock-flow models lab at Levy
In the first day at the stock-flow lab at the Minsky Summer Seminar we show how to build a very simple model.
Files from Class #1
We note that although the accounting is consistent, the model structure is inconsistent since the stock of capital is growing while gdp converges to a steady state.
Warning for those who already downloaded the zip file! The program file I published yesterday was incomplete. I have now updated it, please download it again.
Stock-flow modeling at the Levy
The Levy Institute organizes the 2012 Minsky Summer Seminar, which will include a rich series of lectures on financial balances, stock-flow consistent models, and a stock-flow lab. We will publish teaching materials from the lab later on.
Stock-flow lab at the Minsky Summer Seminar
The stock-flow lab at the Minsky Summer School was a success, according to my personal view…
Some students asked me to make materials availble on the web, since we did not use the readily available programs I had previously published, and I have therefore created a Walk-trough for what we did during the three days.
Students attending were great, keeping their attention to the last minute of the lab, even after a long working day.
Files available:
Minsky Summer School
A stock-flow lab starts today at the Minsky Summer School organized by the Levy Institute.
Models discussed during the lab follow:

CANDIDATE: Gerald Smith
Gerald Smith won Democratic and Republican nominations for Indiana council in the spring primary, but got the chance to start getting experience as a councilman without waiting for the general election.
Smith was elected by council in July to fill a vacancy created by the resignation of Tom Shively. Shively's departure was one of two vacancies for Second Ward council representatives within a few weeks earlier this year.
Smith enters next week's general election as an incumbent with about four months' experience as a sitting councilman.
A math teacher in the Indiana Area School District, Smith grew up in St. Louis and earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics and philosophy from Northwestern University. He taught in public schools in St. Louis; Portland, Ore.; Renton, Wash.; and Pittsburgh. He also taught in Africa while a Peace Corps volunteer.
Smith left teaching from 2004 to 2008 to become a community organizer with the Northwest Federation of Community Organizations. With NWFCO, he coordinated a national health care coalition focused on eliminating racial disparities in health outcomes and worked as a regional campaign manager for the national health care campaign that resulted in the Affordable Care Act.
Since coming to Pennsylvania, Smith has been an active volunteer with local environmental organizations and Indiana County Democratic campaigns. He founded the Coalition for a Healthy County and the Indiana Neighborhoods Community Association and has worked with the Center for Community Growth, the Friends of Yellow Creek and the Three Rivers Community Foundation.
Smith said one of the main reasons he is interested in serving on council is because be believes in community, and the Indiana community is shrinking.
He noted Indiana's population dropped 13 percent from 2000 to 2010, and last month he asked Indiana residents to share with council the reasons people stay, not leave, Indiana. He suggested policies could be adjusted based on that feedback from residents.
Smith said his experiences in community activism and in bringing people together to address issues and solve problems are assets he brings to the Indiana council table.
Smith said he wants to help expand Indiana's reputation as a regional destination.
"We need to be proactive in developing and promoting Indiana's reputation as a local and regional destination by building on our assets," such as the Jimmy Stewart legacy and the Wonderful Life events.
He also supports doing more to promote the borough's farmers market, finding ways to have local agriculture play more of a role in the borough and creating a "buy local" campaign to encourage residents to spend their dollars in the borough.
Smith considers the Indiana Free Library one of the borough's "prime assets" and supports keeping it at its present location.
He believes borough government could be more efficient by reducing the number of council seats and by having a full-time borough manager as it has in the past.

Cool! Good job!
Nah...leave them in their natural color....better to see them age gracefully.

I picked up a S&W M60 but don't have a holster for it. So, I made a couple of pocket holsters. One for my M60 and one for the P32.
I have not finished the edges and trying to decide if I should stain them or leave them natural. I went with a rough out on the outside to keep the pocket holster in the pocket.
Tell me what you think. Should I dye them or not and if so what color?

Look good.
Nice job, I bet you a dollar to a donut that you have a few ideas about more.
NIce job....I used to have a rough side out in the same finish and it worked perfect...you should consider selling those...
I would leave them natural, looks good imho...
Lookin' good! Natural would be my vote, too.
Can you make one for a J-frame and send it to me for evaluation?
Nice job.

When I detailed my car the other week I used :
Megs gold class shampoo
Zymol autobathe
Sonus fine clay bar with megs detailer
Menzerna polishes (various)
3M Rosa
Zymol carbon wax
To my eyes the car colour looks ace but I'm wondering if my Estoril blue is looking too light . I know it sounds silly but a few comments and a look at some pics on the net has got me wondering if the 3M Rosa was the wrong glaze/polish to use.
Pics of my car are on this thread:
If this is the case what would you guys use to make the blue come out deeper if that makes sense

Gary Bettman's dream has come true:
On any given night, any National Hockey League team can beat any other NHL team.
Your Montreal Canadiens are in tough Tuesday night against the young, fast Edmonton Oilers.

• Canadiens 20th in TSN ratings
This day in 1942, Canadiens legend Maurice Richard scored the first goal of his NHL career. Exactly 10 years later, he scored No. 325, passing Nels Stewart for No. 1 on the NHL's all-time list.

This restored Victorian home, located in the historic district of East Berlin, has 6 guest rooms with private baths and A/C. Furnished in country Victorian style with antiques, beautiful architecture, original woodwork and brass chandeliers. Full breakfast and afternoon tea. Large wraparound porch. Close to parks, museums, fine dining, antique and outlet shopping.
4.2 on November 02, 2016
Extremely comfortable Victorian gem in a convenient quaint town. We stayed two nights in Beulah's Boudoir but our impression is that any room would be a delight. Beautiful woodwork and classic Victorian features in a property that is extremely well-maintained by the friendly innkeepers Rich and Carol. Breakfast both days was excellent (but Carol will not share the recipes!) and we followed dinner recommendations for both nights which were spot on. If you like Victorian - this is a charming experience. Heartily recommended.
5 on October 11, 2016
The Inn Keepers are wonderful, friendly and accommodating. The rooms are fantastic and the food equally good.
5 on September 15, 2016
Carol was an absolute joy as an inn keeper. The food was outstanding, especially the French toast done in an orange juice batter.It was to die for, wish I had asked for the orange juice syrup receipe. We will definetly make future reservation since I have family in the area.

Booked a stay at th Bechtell Victorian B&B in East Berlin PA for my wife's birthday. The reservation process was straight forward with no issues as was the check in. We stayed in Beaulas boudoir it was the only room with a king bed. The house and room was nicley decorated in the Victorian style. The owners were friendly and accomodating. The food served for breakfast was good and nicley proportioned. The cookies provided daily was a nice touch. Overall I would give it a 7 on a scale of 1-10
5 on June 26, 2016
We booked Bechtel House on Friday around 5pm. We were amazed to get a room at that late hour. Most places near Gettysburg demand that, during the 'High Season, you must book two nights at least. This B&B gave us a one night stay on a Saturday. We actually got lost trying to find it and Rich guided us in. The Balcony Suite was gorgeous, and quiet and we had a separate sitting room. We set up our laptop, and after dinner at the place Carol and Rich told us about, we watched a bit of TV on the laptop and went to bed We slept well and awoke to the lovely aroma of coffee. Breakfast was utterly delicious and the conversation between us, the other two couples and Carol/Rich was fabulous. That's one of the best things about going the B&B route. You meet great owners and fascinating guests. The breakfast was utterly awesome! We will definitely be returning, next year.
4.8 on June 14, 2016
This is a very beautiful Mansion in small-town America. The inn-keepers are very nice, catered to special dietary concerns for breakfast and provided nice conversation at Breakfast.
4.8 on April 19, 2016
We had a wonderful stay! The Victorian charm of the house was wonderful and I'm so glad we decided to stay here. It was conveniently located close to Gettysburg but far enough away to be quiet and picturesque. The breakfast was also fantastic. We'll definitely have to stay again the next time we're in the area.
5 on October 21, 2015
A good friend of mine and I, wishing to roam the beautiful rolling countryside of the PA apple country near and around Gettysburg, found this magnificent and delightful treasure of a place to relax, indulge and learn! What a fabulous treat, from the hand carved Victorian original woodwork to the authentic replications of the decor created by the unbelievably creative host and hostess of the "house". No, historical treasure!; The charm., the hospitality, the experience of reliving an indulgent and prolific era gone by provided a lasting memory. And oh, the food....Carol, you are an amazing wonder!!!!! Many thanks, we will tell about it to all and can't wait to return.!!!
4.8 on February 24, 2015
This facility is beautiful. Gorgeous victorian wood built-ins and decorative woodwork. The rooms are all different, each with handmade quilts and lovely antiques. The breakfasts were tasty and substantial (french toast, casserole) with fresh fruit, juice. The innkeepers made fresh coffee available early on request. The innkeepers are friendly and engaging without intruding. It was a real treat to stay there.
5 on November 12, 2014
My husband and I wanted to stay somewhere outside of the hustle and bustle of downtown Gettysburg, (which has gotten quite touristy and crowded) somewhere that allowed us to experience the countryside that the soldiers of this battle would have seen. The Bechtel Mansion is located in tiny, quaint East Berlin, just 20 minutes from the battlefields, and is a gem in every respect.This beautiful victorian inn is kept in immaculate and pristine period condition by innkeepers Carol and Richard. Not only has each room been lovingly restored and outfitted to perfectly fit the period in which this mansion was built, but the comfort and convenience of the guest is also kept to equally high standards. Often historic B and B's can be a little too historic, to the sacrifice of comfort, but the beds are so clean and high-quality, there are plenty of modern conveniences in each room (individual heat/air settings, down comforters, hairdryers, access to refrigerator and microwave, etc) and Carol's homemade breakfasts were delicious and wholesome. Carol and Richard also know quite a lot about the surrounding area and had great recommendations for places to see in Gettysburg, places to eat nearby and tips on where to find good antiques and yard sales, which abound in this area of the county! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again when next we visit Gettysburg!

Simple Login Application Using Spring MVC and Hibernate – Part 1
2. Controller
3. View Resolver
4. Model
Spring MVC - Overview
2. We know, the controllers are used for connecting business and service layer. The controller get inputs from request, process the inputs, finally it returns the view and model information.
3. The view resolver gets those information, find the corresponding view, it updates the view with model data and finally it send the response back to the "Dispatcher Servlet".
4. Finally the "Dispatcher Servlet" sends this response back to the client.
Ok, let's start developing our application. I have created the dynamic web project using STS and included all necessary jar files into class path of the application.
Step 1: Defining Dispatcher Servlet into web.xml file.
Step 2: Creating login.html page.
Step 3: Creating Login Controller.
@RequestMapping annotation is used for specifying action of the request.
So now the dispatcher servlet gets any request from "Login.spring" that automatically redirects the request to "LoginController".
@RequestParam annotation is used for getting value from request parameters. It's equivalent to request.getParameter() method in servlet.
In my login controller, the processCredentials method just gets the username, password details from parameters and check whether both are equal. If it's equal, it just returns the object of "ModelAndView" class with next redirecting page as a parameter.
Hey In my login form, I have given action as "Login.spring" only. How that action automatically trigger my processCredentials method?
Step 4: Configuring view resolver.
In this XML file I have configured InternalResoureViewResolver class properties. Here I have given prefix value as "/" and suffix value as ".jsp". In this situation, the view resolver get the view name from ModelAndView object ("results") and append the prefix and suffix value (/results.jsp). So in our login controller we have verified user name, password values and redirected our request to results.jsp page. So we need to create results.jsp page.
Before going to create results.jsp, I have to explain about the purpose of context:component-scan tag. This tag automatically scans all the controller class presents in base-package and registered into context. In other words, it's just looks what are all the classes have @Controller annotation and map the controller into corresponding view. This information is maintained in context of the application.
Ok let's create a results.jsp page.
Step 5: Creating result.jsp file.
Step 5: Creating applicationContext.xml file.
For integrating into hibernate, refer the below link.

I don't remember the day my parents informed me that there was no Santa Claus. It seems to me that, like many childhood ideas, it gradually slipped away over time with experience. Each year there was one significant piece of evidence that Santa Claus was real: a present under the tree from him. However, each year also brought new difficulties as I thought over the other aspects of the story. Was it really possible that magic reindeer could enable a sleigh to fly so fast so as to cover the whole world? Was it possible that Santa Claus could demarcate the relative goodness and badness of every child throughout the year? And why did Herr Claus's handwriting so closely match that of Mom's?
Eventually, over time and with the accretion of evidence, the former idea passed into history and I came to terms with a world devoid of Santa Claus. Later on, a similar process led me to question religious institutions. Still later, that process led to a questioning of governmental institutions and indeed, as John Searle so aptly put it, the social construction of reality itself. At every stage, however, there was no place for revelation, but rather a continual comparison study between the ideas at hand and the empirical evidence of the world.
Cass Sunstein, a legal scholar from the University of Chicago and Barack Obama's Administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, together with Adrian Vermeule, former University of Chicago law professor and current Harvard law professor, collaborated on a paper entitled "Conspiracy Theories," in which they attempt to identify several key features of conspiracies. They specifically invoke the Santa Claus conspiracy in reference to how parents provide information to children. Parents routinely lie to their children, of course, with the justification that either they cannot understand reality or because reality is too harsh for them to experience until they are older. Sunstein-Vermeule (as I will refer to them throughout) seem to view the state in this parental mold, albeit with an additional active element in that they propose the state try to actively crush the precocious questioning of its children.
As they declare in the abstract, their goals include identifying how conspiracy theories "prosper" and how best to "undermine" them. They further identify these conspiracy theorists as bearers of what they term a "crippled epistemology" and suggest groups that investigate such matters be infiltrated by the government for their own good.
The authors first admit that some conspiracies are true. They list Watergate, the use of LSD under the MK-ULTRA program (with "mind control" written in scare quotes), and Operation Northwoods, which they describe as a "rumored plan," despite the fact that the documentary evidence is a matter of public record. The rest of them, presumably, are false, and included in the "false" category are the JFK assassination, the MLK assassination, and several other incidents. They provide no rationale for this whatsoever.
Of course, here the authors engage, in a large-scale form, in the logical fallacy known as "begging the question.' That is, they assume the point which is to be first proven. In addition, their account also lacks any proposal for how one distinguishes a "true" conspiracy from a "false" conspiracy. One might counter that this lies outside the scope of their treatment, and of course one cannot generate such a program within the context of a 29-page academic paper. Unfortunately for the authors, their failure to address this basic question renders much of their paper useless. If I say Willie Mays was the greatest centerfielder in history because of his superb defensive ability, and you respond that Mickey Mantle was the greatest centerfielder ever because his teams won more pennants, we are using different criteria to evaluate the thing in question. Without working out specific criteria, our argument will never be anything other than a statement of preference precisely what Sunstein-Vermeule offer here.
Whether one is investigating the JFK assassination or 9/11 or any other such incident, this is essentially an epistemological journey; that is, the pursuit of these questions leads to broader questions about how we acquire knowledge and ultimately to the nature of reality itself. Unfortunately, after first correctly invoking the framework, Sunstein-Vermeule go on to reveal that they do not understand the implications of their own work. The first and most important element in any epistemological discussion is precisely what is true and what is false. The authors should have first given a proposal about how one comes to such conclusions. Failing to do this, they instead go on to a muddled description of justification and truth. Once again, they don't seem to understand how this process works. As an example, they state the following: "Justification and truth are different issues; a true belief may be unjustified, and a justified belief may be untrue. I may believe, correctly, that there are fires within the earth's core, but if I believe that because the god Vulcan revealed it to me in a dream, my belief is unwarranted." The authors here seem to think that mystical revelation is an improper means for discovering truth; in this respect, millions around the world would disagree with them, including George W. Bush, who talked openly about his daily discussions with the Lord. I am not arguing for or against mystical revelation, but only pointing out that since the authors have not given us a program for distinguishing what they think is true or false, all that is left for them is pronouncement. In this respect, the authors are Cartesians, declaring truth to be equivalent with all that they perceive clearly and distinctly. This is all well and good but ineffective for convincing others.
As is frequently the case in such discussions, the authors also smear political researchers by comparing them with Holocaust deniers. They also equate JFK research with UFO research and the like. This is the rhetorical equivalent of saying that all science is invalid because of Piltdown Man. Scientific research is a continuing process that involves the examination of evidence in specific cases, not generalizing from a list of tenuous assumptions.
In extending this argument they also describe Karl Popper's work on conspiracies, which is essentially a psychological discussion. People like to attribute purpose to the world, goes this line, and therefore people make mistakes by attributing every effect to an intentional cause. Sometimes things just happen, such as the Great Depression, and people feel that someone must be responsible. However, note again how weak these statements are precisely because they do not deal in factual reference. I could just as easily define into existence a mental disorder that involves the pathological denial of obvious conspiracies, regardless of evidence. (Indeed, one might propose John McAdams as a key example.) In a world that recognizes such dubious notions as "generalized anxiety disorder" simply due to the imprimatur of a doctor's assessment, this hardly seems an outrageous notion. But this is all bloviating without details, and so leads us to our next point.
Absent in all of this psychological discussion is one very important point: what is the evidence? Sunstein-Vermeule do not at any point actually address the evidence, or lack thereof, for one "conspiracy theory" or another. Instead, they suggest that these theorists mistakenly attribute immense power to institutions, and distrust what they call "knowledge-producing institutions," once again begging the question, since whether these institutions produce knowledge is precisely what is in question here. In systematically avoiding any discussion of the evidence for any specific case, the authors can produce what might be superficially plausible statements (not arguments, because in each case the authors simply assert what is "true" or "false"). They then advise us that while people might be justified in their paranoia if they lived in a closed state, this is irrational and indicative of pathology in an open state such as our own. Needless to say, whether our society is all that open or not is in question. The authors also fail to realize that in an open society, propaganda is more important, because the state lacks the ability (at least theoretically) to simply imprison or kill its internal dissenters. Noam Chomsky has made this critical point many times over the years in noting that the American population is actually exposed to more propaganda than several other countries around the world:[i]
So the British had the Ministry of Information. The U.S. had the Committee on Public Information, which was known as the Creel Commission - the propaganda was very effective. It should be expected that it's in the democracies that these ideas should develop. Because in a democracy you have to control people's minds. You can't control them by force. [ii]
Michael Parenti observes that
corporate advertisers also exercise degrees of control that find their way onto
television programming. He describes how, in 1973 and 1974, the automobile
industry induced the New York Times' publisher Arthur
Ochs Schulzberger, into publishing articles promoting the repeal of seatbelt and airbag laws, because of the advertising revenue generated by the industry. [iii]
Indeed, advertisers would not spend billions of dollars a year if they did not
think television to be an effective means of pushing people in one direction or

McKenzie bench pressed 225 pounds 27 times, tied for the fifth strongest linebacker at the combine, but he hurt his hamstring during the 40 yard dash, and ran a 4.7-40, which is well off his mark, but still garnered a lot of interest.
T-Mac went up and had a work out for the patriots along with the Buccaneers, Eagles, Giants, and was projected to be selected by the Patriots.
In 12 years of playing football the Bulls now have eleven players drafted, but McKenzie is the third highest player selected. Mike Jenkins was taken in the first round last year and Kawika Mitchell was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the second round in 2003.

Trying to Conceive: 12 Tips for Women
1 of 29
Trying to conceive
The desire to have children can encourage some women to make healthier lifestyle choices. They may become more conscious of the foods, beverages and drugs they put into their bodies, and may set aside time to exercise.
For women who want to optimize their fertility, taking better care of their bodies is a good first step. But what else can women do to improve their odds of having a baby?
The most important advice for a woman who wants to get pregnant is to get to know her body, specifically her menstrual cycle, said Dr. Mary Ellen Pavone, a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist, and medical director of the IVF program at Northwestern Medicine's Fertility and Reproductive Medicine in Chicago.
"It's important to know how far apart her cycles are so she can more accurately time intercourse to try to get pregnant," Pavone said.
Here are 12 tips that may help increase a healthy woman's chances of becoming pregnant, assuming that neither she nor her partner have a known fertility problem.

Record menstrual cycle frequency
A woman who wants to have a baby should monitor whether the first days of her period tends to come the same number of days apart every month, which is considered being regular. Conversely, her periods may be irregular, meaning her cycle lengths vary from month to month. By tracking this information on a calendar, a woman can better predict when she might be ovulating, the time when her ovaries will release an egg every month.
A woman's egg is fertile for only 12 to 24 hours after its release, according to the March of Dimes. However, a man's sperm can survive in a woman's body for about six days, notes Planned Parenthood.

Monitor ovulation
Women with regular cycles generally ovulate two weeks before the arrival of their periods, Pavone said. It's harder to predict ovulation in women with irregular cycles, but it usually occurs 12 to 16 days before the start of the woman's next period.
There are several methods women can use to help determine their most fertile days each month.
Home ovulation-prediction kits can take some of the guesswork out of finding when a woman is ovulating. They're good to use for this purpose, Pavone said, but she suggested reading the instructions before using the products, since each kit can be a little different.
Sold at drug stores, the kits test urine for luteinizing hormone, a substance whose levels increase each month during ovulation and cause the ovaries to release an egg. The three days right after a positive test result are the best time for couples to have sex to increase their odds of becoming pregnant, reports the American Pregnancy Association.
Other clues to ovulation include the basal body temperature method, in which a woman takes her temperature before she gets out of bed every day and charts this on a graph for at least three menstrual cycles. After a woman ovulates, her basal body temperature typically increases less than half a degree Fahrenheit (0.3 degrees Celsius). A woman is most fertile during the two to three days before this slight rise in body temperature, reports the Mayo Clinic.
A second method is tracking cervical mucus, which involves a woman regularly checking both the amount and appearance of mucus in her vagina. A study published in the journal Fertility and Sterility found that women who checked their cervical mucus consistently were 2.3 times more likely to get pregnant over a six-month period.
Just before ovulation when a woman is most fertile, the amount of mucus increases and it also becomes thinner, clearer and more slippery, said the March of Dimes. When cervical mucus becomes more slippery, it can help sperm make its way to the egg.

7 of 29
Have sex every other day during the fertile window
The "fertile window" spans a six-day interval, the five days prior to ovulation and the day of it, according to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. These are the days each month when a woman is most fertile.
One study found that intercourse is most likely to result in a pregnancy when it occurs two days before ovulation.
Research has shown that there hasn't been a big difference in pregnancy rates between couples who had sex every day during the "fertile window" (37 percent) compared with couples who had sex every other day (33 percent), Pavone said. "And having sex every other day might be easier for a couple to pull off," she added.
There are plenty of common misconceptions and old wives' tales about conception. For example, there's no evidence that sex position will influence a couple's chances of having a baby, nor does a woman lying on her back for a certain amount of time after intercourse increase the odds of conceiving, Pavone told Live Science.
8 of 29HealthDid You Know?Severe depression may cause a person to biologically age faster than others.
9 of 29
Strive for a healthy body weight
Being too heavy can reduce a woman's odds of conceiving, but being too thin can make it even harder to have a baby.
Research has shown that a woman who is overweight (her body mass index, or BMI, is greater than 35) can take twice as long to become pregnant as a woman whose BMI is considered normal, Pavone said. A woman who is underweight (her BMI is less than 19) might take four times as long to conceive, she said.
Having too much body fat produces excess estrogen, which can interfere with ovulation. Losing 5 to 10 percent of body weight before a woman starts trying to get pregnant could improve her fertility, according to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
Women who are too thin might not be getting regular periods or could stop ovulating.
10 of 29HealthDid You Know?More than 4 million Americans suffer from frequent constipation.
11 of 29
Take a prenatal vitamin
Pavone recommends that women who are attempting to conceive start taking a prenatal vitamin even before becoming pregnant. This way, a woman can find one that's more agreeable to her system and stay on it during pregnancy, Pavone said.
Another option is to take a daily multivitamin, as long as it contains at least 400 micrograms (mcg) per day of folic acid, a B vitamin that's important for preventing birth defects in a baby's brain and spine, Pavone said.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urges women to take 400 mcg of folic acid every day for at least one month before getting pregnant to help prevent birth defects.
Getting a head start on folic acid supplementation is a good idea because the neural tube develops into the brain and spine three to four weeks after conception occurs, before many women realize they're pregnant.
12 of 29HealthDid You Know?Men with longer legs have a 42 percent higher risk of developing colorectal cancer than shorter-legged guys.
13 of 29
Eat healthy foods
Although there may not be a specific fertility-promoting diet, eating a variety of healthy foods can help prepare a woman's body for pregnancy by giving her adequate stores of critical nutrients such as calcium, protein and iron. This means eating a variety of fruits and vegetables, lean protein, whole grains, dairy and healthy sources of fat.
Besides taking a supplement containing folic acid, a woman can also obtain this B vitamin from foods such as dark green leafy vegetables, broccoli, fortified breads and cereals, beans, citrus fruits, and orange juice. [Related: High Cholesterol Levels May Make It Harder to Get Pregnant]
When trying to get pregnant, eat lower amounts of high-mercury fish, such as swordfish, shark, king mackerel and tilefish. And limit albacore (white) tuna to 6-ounces per week to reduce exposure to mercury, a toxic metal, the Food and Drug Administration recommends.
Also, go easy on caffeine: Consuming more than 500 milligrams of caffeine a day has been linked with a decrease in fertility in women. Having 1 to 2 cups of coffee, or less than 250 mg of caffeine, per day before becoming pregnant appears to have no impact on the likelihood of conception, according to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
14 of 29HealthDid You Know?A scientist cracked his knuckles on his left hand at least twice a day for 50 years to prove it does not cause arthritis.
15 of 29
Cut back on strenuous workouts
Being physically active most days of the week can help a woman's body prepare for the demands of pregnancy and labor. But getting too much exercise or doing frequent strenuous workouts could interfere with ovulation.
Doctors see a lot of menstrual disturbances in women who exercise heavily, and a lot of times these women need to cut back on their workouts if they want to become pregnant, Pavone told Live Science.
16 of 29HealthDid You Know?A rare sleep disorder in which people act out their dreams, sometimes violently, may be an early sign of a brain disorder.
17 of 29
Be aware of age-related fertility declines
As women get older, their fertility decreases because of age-related changes in the ovaries that cause a decline in the quantity and quality of their eggs.
There's a gradual fertility decline in women beginning in their 30s, a sharper decline after age 37 and a steep decline after age 40, Pavone said. These declines mean it may takes longer to become pregnant.
18 of 29HealthDid You Know?People with higher levels of education may be more likely to develop certain types of brain tumors.
19 of 29
Kick the smoking habit
Smoking can lead to fertility problems in both women and men. Chemicals found in cigarette smoke, such as nicotine and carbon monoxide, speed up the loss rate of awoman's eggs, said the American Society of Reproductive Medicine.
It's also a good idea for women to stay away from secondhand smoke, which may affect their chances of becoming pregnant. Marijuana and other recreational drug use should also be avoided while trying to conceive.
20 of 29HealthDid You Know?Psychopaths have a poor sense of smell, according to a 2012 study.
21 of 29
Give up alcohol
It's safest to avoid alcohol when a woman is hoping to become pregnant. Drinking alcohol at moderate (one to two drinks per day) or heavy levels (more than two drinks per day) can make it difficult for a woman to get pregnant, according to The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Once a woman becomes pregnant, there's no safe amount of alcohol that she can consume, Pavone said.
22 of 29HealthDid You Know?Drinking very hot beverages may increase your risk of developing cancer.
23 of 29
Create a fertility-friendly home and work environment
Frequent exposure to lawn and farm pesticides, pollutants, or chemical solvents used at work can harm a woman's fertility. She can take steps to minimize these exposures by protecting her face with a mask or wearing protective gloves, glasses and clothing around potentially toxic materials, recommends the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
Stress management is also important. Trying to get pregnant is stressful enough for many couples. Although the exact role of stress in a woman's chances of conceiving is unclear, it makes sense for women to develop good coping strategies to help manage stress at home and at work. Find ways to relax both body and mind, whether by exercising, taking deep breaths, listening to music or doing yoga. [Related: Stay Up Late? How It Could Hurt Your Fertility]
24 of 29HealthDid You Know?The human brain may be able to hold as much information in its memory as is contained on the entire Internet.
25 of 29
Know when to seek help
A woman and man should consider having an infertility evaluation if the woman is 35 or older and has not become pregnant after six months of having sex regularly without using birth control, Pavone said. A 2012 study published in the journal PLOS One also concluded that for women over the age of 35, it may be appropriate to start investigation and treatment more quickly than for younger women.
Pavone also recommended that a woman who is under 35 and her partner should consult a fertility specialist if she has failed to become pregnant after one year of having unprotected intercourse on a regular basis.

Toymaker continues old traditions
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - There are now a couple of generations of children who have never gotten something for Christmas that wasn't either plastic or electronic.
There was a time when toys were made from wood. It's a lost art of sorts, but not it's lost on a Kingsport Senior Center hobbyist who has been making wooden toys for some special gifts this Christmas.
You'll find all sorts of projects underway in the wood shop of Kingsport's Senior Center. Some are gifts and others are just projects that interest their creator. "Bowls, furniture, tables, whatever thoughts I get I just do. Boxes, I've made a lot of tables," woodworker John Wallen says.
But when the call went out for toys made from wood, he stepped up with a book and anything he found laying around. "[I use] mainly scrap wood and glued together [pieces], shaped it and so on, like this tanker you turn on the lathe," he pointed out while showing a piece of his work.
"Whatever kind of wood you got. That one over there that I painted, that's pine. That's the only one I painted. The rest I just sprayed, what came out, came out," he says. What came out was an assortment of airplanes, trucks, trains and bulldozers.
The craftsmanship looks difficult but their creator says it just takes time. "[It's] tedious," he laughs. "Not difficult, but tedious, that's all. It took time, you make mistakes. You just throw the wood away and start all over again," John said.
And chances are in this shop it will become something else.
His toys are a special project as a gift to some special children that can't be revealed or ruin the surprise. And the fact is these toys will someday be heirlooms as fragile plastics and electronics dominate the toy world these days.
"Well what's nice about these, if something falls apart put some glue on it and put it right back together again," he added.
And who knows, it may inspire a new generation of wooden toymakers.

BATON ROUGE (AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration is hoping to boost its debt-collection efforts by intercepting payments that the federal government may owe to vendors and contractors with unpaid debts to Louisiana agencies.
Jason DeCuir, assistant secretary for the Department of Revenue, outlined the plans Friday to a panel of state officials looking for ways to improve collection of delinquent accounts that total hundreds of millions of dollars.
The department estimates it can collect $11 million more per year in back-owed debts, money that could help fill state budget gaps elsewhere. At least four other states have similar programs that intercept the federal payments, collecting $84 million since 2007.
"We've done a lot of research and modeling what those states have done, saw the potential and increase in their collections, and it's time to get Louisiana going," DeCuir told the Cash Management Review Board.
It's unclear when the program will begin.
The revenue department will be seeking a private company that can run a system to match Louisiana debtors with federal vendors and contractors, and DeCuir said some companies have said they could get such a system running within three to six months after being hired.
"This is one consulting contract I won't complain about. This is exactly what we need," said Treasurer John Kennedy, who is pushing for more aggressive debt-collection efforts by state agencies.
Under the program, state agencies will submit information on their delinquent debts, and the company running the program will match the back-owed accounts to a federal database of taxpayers, vendors and contractors who are owed money by the federal government.
If there's a match, those federal refunds or payments will be routed to the state agency to pay off the delinquent account, rather than go to the individual or company that is owed the federal cash.
Announcement of the program by the Department of Revenue comes after the Jindal administration began intensifying efforts to collect millions of dollars in debt owed to state government agencies, after complaints the state has been too lax in seeking payment.
The state has 174 agencies — and no centralized collection system to handle all state government debts. In a recent tally, more than $1.4 billion was owed to the state in past due accounts.
The administration is planning to standardize its collection policies across agencies, centralize some efforts and toughen enforcement by increasing penalties. Jindal's budget office is looking for an outside adviser to review the state's outstanding debts and help devise the new strategy.

Beautiful, let us know when you are carrying them, please
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Beautiful, let us know when you are carrying them, please
I have to decide which colors to order.
So far, people have said they like the forest (dark green), merlot, pumpkin, and evening. I also like the sable (because we need more browns) and mauve (because I'm partial to purple).
What else do you think would be the best colors?
I can't wait for the new Hoffman Peacock line. Please let us know when it appears on your shelves. Thank you.
I'm confused. Hoffman doesn't have a peacock line in the works. Fabri-Quilt has a group called "Peaceful Plumes"
http://www.fabri-quilt.com/products/...categorysearch and Northcott just posted a group called "Peacock Paradise" http://www.northcott.net/?sid=2&layo...77&colorid=807 ... are either of these the group you are thinking of?
Just got your message. On page 7 of Quilters World, Royal Peacocks by Punch Studio and Hoffman California is advertised. I just received the issue yesterday, it is the December issue. Thanks, you can just PM me if you wish. Lynne

I made this cake for a Great Grandfather and his Great Grandson who were celebrating their birthdays together. My daughter watches this show everyday. I tried to stay true to the theme. The figures were made of gumpaste and fondant. The toughest part for me was making the figures without any support in their bodies. Because this was being made for a One year old I didn't want to put tooth picks or spaghetti strands in them incase he wanted to grab them. I made their necks longer and used that as support after they were dry. To my surprise it worked. TFL!

Ten Essentials: KITCHEN COUNTDOWN!
Put these items in the order you think they belong … and then COUNT THEM DOWN AS YOU BUY THEM! What? That's going to be at least as much fun as playing "Mystery Date" was. Seriously, who even bought that game? At least "Let's Troll OKCupid" has a funny payoff.

This Isn't An Early April Fools Joke, Snow Is In The Forecast
UNDATED — April arrives tomorrow (Friday), but that doesn't mean we're done with snow yet. The National Weather Service says a low pressure system will move out of the rockies and into the plains states over the weekend.
Although there's still a lot of uncertainty in the track of the system, it has the potential to produce significant snow accumulations over parts of Minnesota.
The best chance for snow on Sunday night and into Monday is the area mainly north of Interstate 94.

Just this one short word is enough to strike fear in the heart of anyone diagnosed with cancer. But Sunnybrook researchers are making strides toward a future where chemotherapy will be simpler, safer and highly effective – and its devastating side effects a thing of the past.
Photo Credit: Tim Fraser
Delaney Janhunen was approaching her 36th birthday when she discovered a lump in her right breast. "You feel invincible when you're young and then all of a sudden you have this wake-up call," says Delaney, a Kitchener, Ont., mother of three, who is now 42.
Living in St. Catharines, Ont., at the time, Delaney was diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer, an aggressive type associated with overexpression of HER2 receptors on the cancer cell. "We were shocked and devastated when we realized how aggressive it was," Delaney recalls. It was an "additional devastation" when she and her husband, Paul, learned the cancer had produced seven tumours in her liver.
The young family was turned upside down. Delaney's new reality became surgery and ongoing drug therapy to eliminate the cancer and prevent its return. It worked for about two-and-a-half years, but the HER2-positive cancer returned, this time appearing in her left armpit.
It wasn't surprising to Delaney that it came back – doctors had been telling her the odds of recurrence were high. But it was still a crushing blow: "I had started hoping and wondering and praying that I was actually cured."
Delaney had a back-up plan. Before the recurrence, an acquaintance who also had HER2-positive breast cancer told her about a promising drug clinical trial underway at Sunnybrook's Odette Cancer Centre. The drug was T-DM1, which is a novel combination of a targeted drug therapy (Herceptin) and a chemotherapy drug (DM1). The combination drug is effective at zeroing in and killing breast cancer cells, while producing minimal side effects.
Delaney's oncologist wasted no time in contacting Dr. Sunil Verma, a Sunnybrook medical oncologist and the lead author of the international T-DM1 study, which included patients from 213 centres around the world. Delaney received her first T-DM1 infusion in September 2010. She continues to make the trek from Kitchener to Sunnybrook once every three weeks to get her 30-minute infusion. Her tumours quickly shrank and she now has no detectable cancer on her CT imaging. "It's been a miracle drug, that's for sure," she proclaims.
"Delaney is one of hundreds of people who gain access to leading-edge cancer drug treatments every year through the Odette Cancer Program's clinical trial activities," says Dr. Calvin Law, the program's interim chief. "These trials are carried out at our Odette Cancer Centre's newly renovated and expanded chemotherapy unit."
Sunnybrook researchers, such as Dr. Robert Kerbel, are also pushing the frontiers of cancer drug therapy by developing less toxic, unconventional chemotherapy drug strategies that can be combined with other drugs, including Herceptin and T-DM1.
Innovation in therapy isn't limited to the treatments themselves. Odette Cancer Program staff are continually focused on improving the patient experience through technological and process improvements.
For Delaney, being selected for the T-DM1 trial "was like winning the lottery. I was jumping up and down."
Most importantly, the drug has kept her cancer at bay, but also key for Delaney, her husband and kids (ages ranging between nine and 14) is that there have been very few side effects. "The fact that you don't lose your hair and you don't feel sick has been wonderful," Delaney reports, although she does experience dry mouth and occasional tingling in her fingers.
"These findings [the T-DM1 study] create the framework for a new direction for the treatment of cancers, and potentially for earlier stages of the disease." Dr. Sunil Verma, Medical Oncologist
Compare this to the side effects of the drug therapy she received when she was first diagnosed with cancer in 2007. She lost her hair, eyebrows and eyelashes, and experienced fatigue for a few days after every round of treatment. "Losing my hair was very difficult to go through," she recalls, "difficult for my kids, too, because up until then you can go through life and not show everybody that you're sick."Report Typo/Error

Suspected "Grinch" on the Loose After Stealing Holiday Packages
MORRO BAY, Calif. - Morro Bay Police are warning you to be on the look out for a Grinch suspected of stealing Christmas presents. Within the past few days, several packages were snatched from at least four different homes, after they were delivered and left on people's front porches.
"These are what we got instead of a tablet and a toy," said Mike Weddinge, as he held up two empty boxes, of what was supposed to packed with his little boy's presents
"We were expecting a couple of gifts for our 3-year-old son coming from his grandmother," said Weddinge.
Last Friday, when Mike got off work, he was expecting to see the packages delivered on his front step. Instead, someone else got there first. Three days later, he got a call from a neighbor saying she found the empty boxes in her trash can, but no gifts.
"What kind of savage takes a Christmas gift right before Christmas? They were for my little boy and that felt pretty violated for me," said Weddinge.
Morro Bay Police the homes targeted were located on the 600 block of Piney Way, 400 block of Piney Way, 500 block of Monterey Avenue and the 2800 block of Fir Avenue. Police say this time of year is typical for thieves to bank on other people's deliveries.
"If you're going to send a delivery to your house, track when it's going to arrive, so you're home when you receive it. Be specific to the shipping company to send it to a post office box, or to a store front, or leave a note," said Commander Bryan Millard, Morro Bay Police Department.
As for Mike Weddinge, he says from now on he will be sure to be home when he's expecting a package.
"Getting the boxes back at least was really nice closure. There's not are they still in the mail, or they late? It's like okay, this happened," said Weddinge.
Mike said he will be able to get back those stolen gifts because he had insurance.
As of Friday evening, Morro Bay Police they do not have a suspect. If you have any information call the Morro Bay Police Department (805) 772-6225

Date of Stay: June, 2012
We stayed here four days. The facilities were great including a fish cleaning area, pool, and propane refilling station. The sites were mostly grass and a little uneven but they were fairly wide and had plenty of room to accommodate our RV and truck. Bring mosquito repellent because the mosquitos were pretty bad especially in the area set aside for tents. All of the staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
This was a beautiful and well-maintained campground. The only reason I gave it a 9 instead of a 10 is that you have to pay for the showers. There is no TV, internet or Verizon mobile access but the setting is so beautiful that we didn't miss them. We couldn't believe how many Kokanee salmon were caught from the fishing bridge. We would love to stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
The only good things I can say about this park are that the sites were level, we had a pull-through site and the park is very close to Sun Valley. The bad things are: There is only 1 shower stall and 1 toilet for men and one for women. There were a lot of tent trailers when we were there so the bathroom was always busy. There is no cable TV, no laundry and too many rules about using the one and only shower. The office person needed a slight attitude adjustment. Given the lack of amenities, the $35.00 price per night seemed a bit high but there were not many other RV parks near Sun Valley to choose from.
Date of Stay: June, 2010
We spent a month here. The bathroom and laundry facilities were spotless and well maintained. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. We had excellent reception with the park's Wi-Fi and Verizon cell phone. The sites were nice sized. The position of trees and decorative rocks on some of the sites make it a challenge to open both a slide-out and awning but there are plenty of unobstructed sites available. We would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: March, 2010
This campground had the widest pull-through sites we've ever seen. The sites and facilities were immaculate. The staff was wonderful - very friendly and helpful. There was Wi-Fi available in the library but we were unable to access it from our campsite. We couldn't believe the number of activities/facilities we had to choose from including frisbee golf, a heated pool and spa, chipping green, pool table, library, live entertainment and snacks. Except for low water pressure - which was adequate but could have been better - we had a perfect stay. We would happily stay here again.

Matt joined the program to discuss his first ever cornhole contest and to break down the Patriots offseason. He told the guys that he was upset that the Pats were unable to bring Wes Welker back to the team.

Wrote in coral and or export from Arabic. I was close to hide the weenie. Cornel no different. Could you -- in the gold medal in court -- Some people out. I think I think tiger tennis -- the silver. A that. So Matt is what it is right now that you brought it up got a call horrible economy and -- best kids don't talk some football that's Saturday June 1 right. It is yet come quick it's hard to believe in due course global here you know what of the foundation we are certain things outside the box and come out on trade -- better. And you know posting something that to a stadium we're going to be back there -- you know Dana Farber field house which is an incredible venue. If you have the mavericks -- -- an astronaut their wedding. But never you know doing something like that raise money or -- -- work started going to be bought a -- of Berry farm family. You know day where everybody could always open what are outdoors indoors -- -- part of recordable term are not going to be an awesome day. -- what team tournament correct. You had doubled in relation to be got a great preacher place so Durbin there. You know David great dining establishment the restaurant of the -- what you are all going to be either. You know a little display in zombie -- from their. Particular restaurant but you know overall record on paper -- banquet -- or break a record at all. So you're going to be an exciting day or injured. McIntyre patron experience with the inflated spilled raffles games prizes all that says -- -- liberties and events spot to celebrities are coming. Yeah well you know I mean I'm pretty much -- the they go about it so we don't overload -- you know. -- we've got -- -- man mean in the locker room we used to go for -- gave quite a bit and you know that was. Poitier when we had brick and second that reward in preparing for so open but. We've got guys signed up already manned their -- they're going to be as competitive and -- probably agree or on the field. Will there be the boost with god -- demonstrating wrestling moves and doing keg stands and let be part of a the experiments are darker wherever we have -- it expect that it but it. Not good you know look at -- in year one -- -- you know I think it happened so. You know lumber you know we're thankful we you know we go to. -- it's a great spot to stop shop in the sports authority city's sports them. And their courage so you know what what -- people would go almost burying him they're going to be the cool -- -- -- -- -- on our bigs are going to be a great win and then our foundation and you -- have been great supporters. No Deloitte foundation you know we we keep expanding and there's literally help of our program and everything else overdue. Arturo moms and -- to bring the family or summon him to sign a team worth the website -- we're -- they find -- more information. Yeah Jumbo -- sign up MetLife foundation dot org and the result is made on the event and you can actually. It's routine done -- and I think we've got about corner spot -- so. You know join us some 100 probably even under some -- with -- for ordinary. I'm not sure if you -- OTAs -- mini camps and we don't miss training camp but hypothetical situation -- -- Belichick said do you you can pull Walter Jones or you can pull a Brian Waters you'll become the training -- do what you need to do. And you can show up and play you know maybe the last exhibition game and start the season with -- all the stuff that leads up to would you be -- You -- actually had a conversation puts up before right and then I look at my hands. I'm in I he'd displayed at all have been nailed it's rip off -- like. All -- bidding at launch and actually make it you know mean to you when you when you look at yourself a year out of the game you wonder how in the world would you ever made so I think it had to. They're put your rain check on -- like the other was not stupid enough to make a decision to give -- comfort -- enjoying her pain free retirement. Hey Matt what it didn't affect you obviously you're done but when you found out. After Brady restrictions on that you found out -- Wes Welker was Leven and Hammond dole was coming west was going -- the play. Without Peyton Manning in Denver we US surprises we were. Well you know I think as a the guy that's been through you know several negotiations. And you Democrats took on -- active -- much so and that in my last fuel. Are you understand the business overboard would make it easier I mean yeah Ellis. I was -- -- and I kind of thought yeah you know look at trip with a dialect -- it's anywhere -- it's gonna get done them. You know that there's a million factors are going to why that didn't happen on both sides you know I think they're probably gonna have some ground to stand on but that's. It happens when. You have a high profile player and a guy that you know you gotta do what you gotta do from so Stanley and in other teams feel they have to draw a line out there somewhere so it never got the cover of play out well in the court of public opinion actually serve regular though that I have like a -- On the other hand I understand the business -- that. That day is there are listed as Steve and Bill Belichick has a list of guys up front with who are. That he's just not gonna let leave and maybe you moron as you sure did leave but. Seems to me that it would be Brady and and -- at this point -- and he would just never let leave. I just assume Wes was on that list two obviously that was wrong. Well you know I think are pretty good player really holds the power in the list you know it's so that it may not look that way but I think overall. You know look any team can go out there do they come -- you remember the date some in Washington when they were. -- anybody and everybody and there was never -- to buy him. You know you see these cycles go through whether it's you know a new GM murder. If you know just kind of the timing a little particular guy that hits the market but I think really anymore the player or a lot of power with respect to. You know what they do it and how they do I mean look you look at what some examples request a one you have options. And you doubled exercise that option somebody -- -- -- than. You know what -- -- -- going -- not you know he's he's so I had to make -- producers. We don't ask very many offensive line questions so here's my attempt at it when -- coaches up the -- offensive line and he's done a spectacular job doing it for numbered years. Is all about Matt schemes and techniques and focus and effort or does he and the intangible that says. Brady is the franchise back there of what you morons lets him get killed your your ass is mine. It -- a little bit more colorfully. Yeah you know listen I think. I think but I'm a mean to you gotta go moldaschi YouTube are some of these guys you you know -- -- -- you know have a long term guys like you know the Brady's of the them. And fair concern of course feel much so I mean you -- kind of a culture they create. I think that's maybe more. Of the peace proposal than anything -- the fact that. No accountability issue here at a guy like Bob that you relentless -- Uga -- next military you know its military are still early stay late. You do whatever had to be garb you know your two best your ability and you don't let anybody help vocal and others are -- -- custom or that employer. But they are buried -- what you know -- -- better picture better than good where all of the -- a -- collectively. -- held there it would go out there are no matter who the guy years. You know are rotating group because the vendor wherever else that you figure. How daunting a task is that it will be for Dante and he certainly risen indication over the years were talking about Canon changing positions nick McDonald. A five positions swing tackle will Svitek Tyrone green all that I mean his estate is this big for daunting in this offensive line to climb. Well yeah I mean look if I repeat if he if you want to. If you went to the bar pretty hard for anybody in any of those rooms for the coaching staff goes the big beautiful about them -- he's got a he's got a good group of guys you know have some experience and obviously your guy. And Logan who just got ridiculous amount under his belt but as far as you know the scheme of the vote -- so that everything else I mean that guy. Alone is is is a big part of the success on offense but. Outside of that you know you -- a lot of guys that you know bureaucracies and years and had to step up and and and bit depth this year a bigger support the probably. On the going to be the toughest thing to -- up spewed a lot of guys that although the system ago Laura wood -- are young so that that's a big task for -- social. -- met Tom Brady is is older than you are and yet most patriots fans assuming as for five more good years in him is that and me being too optimistic coming he's human. And do you think. Belichick retires ten minutes after Tom does. They -- -- good there's nothing you can stamp them where it becomes the law you know how long make him player coach or I mean. If you give comic character you play from the reporting years and who assert that he couldn't you know. I think that I think there's there's no doubt that he -- for -- -- the -- there's no doubt in my mind that you. You know welcome ordered to -- got a good line -- probably wouldn't what you takes care -- and so open that it could that be pale and every level you know with Communist. You know it's always impressive and assistant war epic and bill and forget about it I -- he noticed that one -- -- -- what -- -- -- Yeah he's he's pretty darn good at it saw what equipment it's -- Did you ever think your college teammate Drew Brees was going to be an all time great. Yeah you know what I mean you -- you have a lie about a height of the computers so that the sport marker you know me and it up for 511 guy that's pretty impressive right. And I mean he's so he's not done yet either right committee. Are you got a lot of Barkley diagnosed through. He kind of made the comparison you know -- with -- with respect to drew a problem early on you know after you are my rookie season and you know what pounded the Super Bowl in the you know start of next season. You have no on both those guys and be around them. They had a one thing in common that is and everything or do they compete to be a degree everybody bacon bit would be skipper Iraq's across the pond and find a way to make -- competitive. So. Know give or how else do you want those guys they they bribe in -- situation that like the pressure being an autumn and you know jurors know differently and he wants the way that everything that he -- you know sentenced. I -- who would win Brees vs Brady. -- now that the Polk army and honestly they double look because you have several partner record also.
