|Rima & R.
user 5332686
Group Organizer
Denver, CO
Our Motto: "This is the place where everyone is treated like you treat your best friend"
Hey gang we will be at the Suite 200,which is located at 1427 Larimer in Lodo with Free Admission on Friday Dec 27, 2013, at 7:00PM, most people are there by 7:15pm. Go up the stairs and We will greet you. This is a really nice place to meet some new friends. Come one, come all, bring all your friends and a smile............
Let's make this our "Bring a friend" to our meetup. Tell all your friends on Twitter and Facebook. Our secret in making friends: If you are shy, quiet or reserve show up right when we start - -stick to Rodney or Rima like a Bee would to honey - -you'll be right next to me and I'll introduce you to everyone as I fill out their name tags.... in 15 mins you'll be right in the middle of a host of new friends and will feel the BUZZ..........
Great conversation starters:
I really like your necklace
Is it quieter on this side of the room? I can hardly hear over there.
People call me David but you can call me tonight.
May as well chat if we're in line for the bathroom
Excuse me, I just thought I should come over & talk to you.
So, was it a pain for you to get here?
What kind of drink is that?
Nice Earrings
Man, I have networking
New members are Welcomed!!!!
Free Admission Now you can't beat that on a Friday Night
Here are the event details:
*Meet N Greet begins at 7pm, most arrive by 7:15PM and the party ends whenever
*Social networking event.
*Come alone or bring all your friends
*Greeted at the door!
The Hot Spot in Denver – I have to say I love to party! And whenever I come to Denver I always check out Suite 200. The first time I went there, it was busy and it had lots of hot girls and a few hot guys but really hot girls. It was the most happening spot. We checked out a few other places but ended up back at Suite 200 it was definetley the best! Every time I stop by its always a lot of fun and the staff gets better looking every time I go! If you are looking for a place to party and want to see beautiful people and listen to the best dj Suite is where it's at! oh did I mention hot girls & guys :)
Denver's Best Club – I have been going to Suite 200 since it opened. It is by far the best club in Denver. It's the place to be on a Friday and Saturday night. There are a ton of really cool events held at Suite from Lady Gaga performing to Denvers best DJ's and the atmosphere is top notch. I am always treated like a celebrity when I go there. I love this place!!!!
Best of the best – Whether you are looking for a spot to host a special party or just a fun night out with the guys/girls Suite 200 is the place to be in the LoDo scene. With a diverse mix of hip-hop, top 40 and house music I never get bored coming here weekend after weekend. Its the only club with a consistently busy crown, fun scene and great service. I highly recommend getting vip bottle service as the wait in the line can be long later in the evening
Best spot in town – If you want to go out in downtown, whether it's for a birthday or you just want to go out and have fun Suite 200 is definitely the best place in town.
They obviously don't sell themselves on being the cheapest place in town but it's for good reason since its the place to be seen in Denver. You'll likely run into Broncos, Nuggets, and Av's players here when their not playing, or celebrating. Suite 200 even had Lady Gaga perform there in 2008!
If you want to party like the best of them, definitely grab a table for the VIP treatment. If you want a little bit more room request a table in VIP, but if you want to be in the mix ask for the Dancefloor
Hope u can make it
RIma & Rodney

International navies are patrolling Somali waters looking for pirates. This action, while welcome, is only addressing the symptoms of Somalia's collapse. It is not a solution to piracy and nor will it resolve Somalia's instability. If we want to secure the sea and contribute to peace in Somalia we need imaginative approaches. What Somalia needs more than a naval force is an international coastguard. Sending navies to fight piracy in Somalia is a way of being seen to take the "right" kind of action but with minimal risk to life or equipment.
However, it does not alter the fundamental factors driving people into piracy; the ability to make thousands of dollars per operation, in a country with a GDP per head of $600 is far greater than the disincentive of arrest.
Piracy cannot be defeated by navies. That can only happen when law is established and alternatives are presented to the pirates. Navies can certainly help to contain piracy and do perform an indispensable role protecting the delivery of food aid, but they cannot end this problem from the sea. A coastguard, however, is better designed for what is a law and order issue, and as part of a comprehensive approach to Somalia's instability offers a real prospect for progress.
Why are so many nations then sending their ships and sailors to the eastern Indian Ocean? Some say they are attempting to protect fishing fleets trawling for tuna – pirates have often used illegal fishing as an excuse – but they are drawn by the money and not a desire to protect coastal fishermen.
Somalia's problems are greater than piracy. It is chronically unstable and dangerous and millions of its citizens need humanitarian aid. The naval presence off Somalia's coast is a good thing for sailors and shipping companies; it makes them less likely to be attacked and means that someone will be on hand during any period in captivity. The fundamental causes of piracy are not being addressed however: there must be a political settlement on land. A coastguard that combats piracy and protects Somali fishing could be the waterborne element of a wider diplomatic strategy to bring peace and stability to Somalia.

We have continued the steady march towards what will eventually become the fourth Daylight Dies album and are planning to begin pre-production in North Carolina in June. This means piecing together all the fragments of material we've exchanged amongst ourselves and refining them into polished demos which will aid in recording the album.
Since we now live in various areas of the country (North Carolina, California and New York), we felt it was especially important to hone the music together prior to the final recording.While a vague personality of the album has begun to take shape, there is still much more to write.

Georgetown College men's and women's track teams traveled to Danville this weekend for the Centre College Twilight Meet. The Tigers had several impressive performances and saw a lot of improvement in just their third meet. The men finished seventh with 44 points, while the women were eighth with 27 points.
Highlighting the meet was the men's 4x400 meter dash relay of Amir Ziyad, Erick Mills, Austin Keene and Grant Carr. The Tigers won the event with a time of three minutes 27 seconds and 31 one-hundredths of a second. The top spot tallied 10 points for the team.
Dustin Wheeler became the second best Tiger in the 1,500-meter run with his time of 4:07.25 to finish sixth in the race and score three points. It was a new personal record and moved him ahead of Todd McDaniel.
Over the past four years, Georgetown College has watched the blossoming of one of its brightest stars on the cross country and track and field teams. Tayler Godar earned six Mid-South Conference all-conference honors – four straight in cross country and two in track and field. She went to six straight NAIA championships – three in cross country and three in track and field.
Then her biggest moment came this past spring when the Ohio native became the first modern era Georgetown College track athlete to achieve All-American status. Track and field is one of the rare sports where the athlete must finish in the top eight at the national meet in order to receive All-American status.
"It's really exciting for her and for our program as a whole," said GC coach Lucas Garnett. "I'm very proud of what Tayler was able to accomplish in her final year at Georgetown. Then I analyze just her final races as a Tiger and I'm blown away."
Setting new standards and reaching new goals were benchmarks for the 2016 Georgetown College men's and women's track and field team under new coach Lucas Garnett.
This past Thursday through Saturday expectations were far exceeded for the season when senior Tayler Godar became the first modern era Tiger track and field athlete to earn All-American status.
In the 2016 NAIA Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championship, the Ohio harrier found her stride in the final 300-meters of an 800-meter race to set the stage for her storybook ending.
Georgetown College men's and women's track and field teams finished the 2016 season at the Mid-South Conference Championship meet in Williamsburg, Ky. Day one of the two-day competition set the stage for a phenomenal conclusion. The Tigers broke multiple school records and were just shy of two others, while finishing sixth on the men's side and fifth on the women's.
"What unfolded at the conference meet was impressive to say the least," said GC coach Lucas Garnett. "We've been steadily improving all season, but to have this type of achievement on this stage in front of all our conference rivals sent a message for next year.
"Day one started us off right, but I had no idea what was in store with day two. It was easily highlighted with Tayler (Godar) qualifying for not one, but two national meet races with school-record setting times and top two finishes. It just rolled all weekend and was truly a fantastic ending to a fantastic season."
The night was dreary, but the results promising as Georgetown College men's and women's track team traveled to Ohio for the Night Moves Meet.
The men finished sixth overall, third among NAIA schools, with 10 teams competing. The women finished fifth, third among NAIA schools, against the same 10 programs.
"We had three weather delays, which started and stopped the field events," said coach Lucas Garnett. "The track events started an hour late because of all the rain and the meet ended around 1 am. It was a long day, but very successful. Everyone keeps improving."
The Tigers had several personal records and season bests Friday in Ohio.
Karina Egger, Alec Higdon-Burgess, Kaya Kelly, Kristen Just, Ben Peterson, Dustin Wheeler and Kater Riddle all set new personal records.

You would need to forward a port from your router to your Spiceworks server. While you can use port 80, port 443 (HTTPS) would be preferable. You would have to add a DNS entry for it. Most of us would prefer using a VPN to access it for security, but that may or may not be doable.

This bass is way interesting and no its not a fortune. The bass plays and sounds great. She has original components with the exception of upgraded Duncan Quarter Pounders attached to an original 7831 harness. The blue finish has had some wear and heavy patina to the clear coat but we believe (gun to our heads) that the finish is correct as the serial number tags are still properly attached and do not appear to have ever been touched. Priced way less than our other comps but this is a great bass! GB

Payments - We accept Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, Wire Transfer, checks and of course cash. We hold the right to ship when payment clears.
Shipping will only be sent via UPS. It may be a few dollars more, but we find that the quality of service, speed and "trackability" are much better.
Sorry to sound rigid but I've sent out way too many instruments for a free "weekend rental". All instruments offer a 24 hour approval. We may extend this if you ask. All instruments if returned will be charged up to an 8% restocking fee. Please ask if there are any questions. Shipping costs in both directions are the responsibility of the purchaser. Occasionally setups get knocked out in transit and can be easily rectified. If there is an issue, call us. This happens typically in the cold and hot weather. A return is a transaction that has been paid for whether it was shipped or not. If we have your credit card approval and you have buyer's remorse, that is a deal and the restocking fees apply. This cost me hundreds of dollars a year.

Relying on Divine Intervention (8 of 10) by Stephen Whitney
This content is part of a series.Relying on Divine Intervention (8 of 10)
Series: Hebrews 11
Stephen Whitney
Hebrews 11:29-31
The Bible is filled with stories of God's divine intervention in the lives of people who were not able to help themselves out of some impossible situation such as: Daniel in the lions den, his three friends put into the fiery furnace, Elijah who was fed by ravens, Peter who walked on the water and was released from prison.
Why do we need God's divine intervention in our lives?
1. Our ability to help ourselves is limited. - We cannot stop diseases from overcoming us. - We cannot heal our illness or sickness. - We do not control how long we will live.
2. We are not able to control the circumstances around us. - We do not control the heat or cold or rain or sun. - We cannot make people do what is right.
There were times when God miraculously intervened to rescue his people from danger even though they didn't ask or expect him to because he had future plans for their lives. There are other times when God's divine intervention is a result of our faith in him. Our faith is in his love to us or his promises or his power or his sovereignty over everything that happens in our lives.
Hebrews 11:6
Without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever would draw near to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
A.W. Pink wrote, ''How does God 'reward' the diligent seeker? By ministering to their every need, both spiritual and temporal.'' God wants us to live by faith in his promises to provide for our everyday needs and help us in the difficulties we face in life.
There are three events that describe people who have faith in God relying on his divine intervention to over come their difficulties.
Israelites After God had killed the firstborn son of every family in Egypt Pharaoh told the people of Israel to leave the country. As they left they came to the Red Sea in front of them and P ...

Jabez: The Rise and Fall of a Victorian Rogue, by David McKie (Atlantic Books, £8.99)
"No one suffered more from the crash than I did," wrote Jabez Spencer Balfour in his lucrative memoir My Prison Life, but as McKie shows in this original biography, the claim is absurd. We need only turn to the sad parade of ruined souls at Balfour's trial to see the damage he wreaked on the poor but thrifty non-conformists who believed enough in this apparently pious and philanthropic MP to invest their life savings in his Liberator Building Society. But the Great Liberator, as they knew him, was actually "a skilled commercial seducer and dissembler" and his illusory financial empire collapsed in 1892, literally beggaring his investors, many of whom went mad or committed suicide. Balfour fled to Argentina, but was captured and imprisoned for a decade. McKie thinks Balfour suffered from "an excess of self-belief", but others might conclude he was simply a fat, devious bastard.
Shopped: The Shocking Power of British Supermarkets, by Joanna Blythman (Harper Perennial, £7.99)
Journalist Joanna Blythman's comprehensive analysis of the current state of food retail could not be more timely or disquieting. Experiencing an epiphany when she ceased convenience shopping, Blythman trawled the UK to investigate why Britain is in thrall to the supermarket giants - and provides a convincing argument for boycotting every one of them. It's a sane yet stomach-churning exposé, from the revelation that up to half of all fruit and vegetables sold in such outlets are riddled with pesticides to the cavalier yet routine exploitation of poorer overseas suppliers and checkout workers. Ever-present is the ongoing and urgent debate provoked by the systematic erasure of independent shops from high streets that have been stealthily homogenised by the likes of Tesco and Asda, whose shelves are "stacked high with everything the nation would be better off not eating".
Stopping Napoleon: War and Intrigue in the Mediterranean, by Tom Pocock (John Murray, £8.99)
After Trafalgar, Napoleon dropped his plans to invade Britain and looked eastward instead. This is the story of Britain's campaigns in the Mediterranean and Adriatic to prevent Boney getting his hands on Egypt, India and all the riches of the Orient. The British started rather well, trouncing the French at Maida in their first victory on land in the Napoleonic wars. Pocock's boisterous descriptions of these often neglected battles are superb, as is his set piece on Napoleon's arrival in Venice. The unexpected heroes of the hour, however, are the amateur Tyrolese militia. One of their tactics was to roll larch trees down hillsides, thereby squishing the enemy. As a contemporary British ballad put it: "Bid the thundering ruin rush / Men and steeds and cannon crush / Drink, O Earth, the sanguine gush / Drink the life-blood copiously." They don't write 'em like that any more.
The Alhambra by Robert Irwin (Profile Books, £8.99)
The medieval palace of the Alhambra (from the Arabic al-hamra, meaning "red") remains a potent symbol of Moorish architecture and Islamic culture. A self-sufficient complex of buildings, this wonder of the world contained, at one point, six palaces, a mosque, a barracks, a zoo, aviary, workshops and a small town. Irwin's study is meticulous and invigorating. Opening with the turbulent political struggles that led to its being built, he moves on to detail the intricate geometry of its design, its rare treasures, luscious gardens of orange trees and myrtles and its fascinating hold over centuries of art and literature. Most interestingly, he explains how its significance has been admired - and misinterpreted - by visitors as various as Chateaubriand, Washington Irving, Disraeli and the Bloomsbury set. As he notes: "It is strange that the building should give so much pleasure to today's profane hordes of infidel visitors for whom it emphatically was not built."

I am cc'ying to Gianny (hope I got the right address), but I'd still like to keep the thread public. Since the response from others (Matt) was essentially "JPA QL support is not planned", and we need it now, I already started working on the parser on Cayenne side using JavaCC (I know TranQL uses antlr, but for Cayenne parser it made sense to stick with JavaCC if only to avoid extra runtime lib dependencies). I have the basic grammar in place, and hopefully should check it in soon. If there are any ideas or comments, or a desire to make it reusable outside Cayenne, let me know.

Letters to the Editor for March 10, 2013

We did it right
The recent death of the surgeon general reminds me that since the time warning labels were put on cigarettes, we have largely become a nation of non-smokers.
This is a signal achievement, and untold numbers of malignancies have been prevented. We did this without outlawing cigarettes, and no one went to jail.
We did it with education and patience. Smoking became more expensive and more inconvenient. Attitudes changed; it was no longer a mark of sophistication to smoke. And with time, more and more stopped.
This time we did it right. Drug war, please note.
Samuel Greenberg,
Open a closed mind
Regarding the March 3 letter describing rural people as "willfully and/or genuinely ignorant of important issues," I beg to differ.
Rural people are as diverse as any other segment of the population. It may seem unfair to the writer that the only opinions that count do not exclusively come from Gainesville, but something in me feels that more than Gainesville voices are important to this area.
Maybe the writer should come to the country for some fresh air and possibly open up a very closed mind.

Growing problem
Wage theft is a growing problem in our community. In my capacity as a professor, I've known students who have had to withdraw from classes because employers did not pay wages in a timely manner, or at all.
In several instances, my students have told me that certain dishonest employers even calculate their "bottom line" by subtracting legitimate wages from their employees — in advance!
An increasing number of college students in Florida work full time or near full time to pay their bills, and wage theft is undermining their (and our) future. Because of phenomenon, I strongly support a wage recovery ordinance in Alachua County.
Our community, as well as our honest businesses, simply cannot afford unscrupulous employers and the wages that they steal from workers. I call on the leaders of the city of Gainesville to "opt-in" to the proposed Alachua County wage ordinance as soon as possible.
Paul Ortiz,
The leisure of a year
I want to thank and credit the Alachua County School Board for its action on Tuesday night approving the year-round calendar for The One Room School House charter school. As a founding board member of the school, I appreciate the support and collegiality we have received from the school district for the past 16 years.
Innovations like year-round schooling, the resultant increase in tutoring opportunities and early graduation will lessen the negative consequences of curriculum compression. Most educators believe that squeezing a year of scholarship between September and March has resulted in a stressful learning environment with too much emphasis on test preparation. This is especially true for at-risk learners.
One Room students now have the leisure of an entire year to prepare for the rigors of the new nationwide Common Core Standards and the FCAT.
Arthur Newman,
Prevent accidents
After reading the letters and Feb. 2 editorial about jaywalking, I would like to add my voice.
After traveling for almost three years in the College Park area to work on student apartments, I was always worried about the times I had to travel on University Avenue and 13th Street around the university.
The worst offenders of jaywalking and impeding traffic were students. They have no respect for crosswalks or the people who are trying to get to work in the area. They would walk out in front of traffic and make cars stop while almost hitting them.
There are a lot of accidents and injuries in this area each year and the police do nothing about it. Maybe if they ticket some of these kids, they could stop from them getting hurt and prevent some accidents.
Richard Moore,

The push is being renewed to transfer management of the Valles Caldera National Preserve in northern New Mexico to the National Park Service.
U.S. Sens. Jeff Bingaman and Tom Udall introduced legislation this week that directs the Park Service to take over management of the preserve in a way that protects the area's natural and cultural resources.
Residents came to the Betty Ehart Senior Center to take part in the 18th annual Empty Bowls Project. For a donation of $10 or more, attendees can choose a hand-painted bowl and enjoy a soup from one of the local restaurants. Proceeds benefit Self Help, a local non profit organization that provides emergency financial assistance and seed money grants to residents of Los Alamos, Rio Arriba, Taos and Northern Santa Fe counties.
Three hours after Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., announced he wouldn't seek re-election, former U.S. Rep. Heather Wilson, R-N.M., received what she describes as, "probably the best job ever offered in my lifetime" – a senior executive position running a large defense and intelligence operation.
On Friday Feb. 19, Bingaman announced his retirement. On Sunday Feb. 20, Wilson gathered her husband Jay Hone, son Joshua Hone, 17, and daughter Caitlin Hone, 14, at their Albuquerque home to discuss her options.
With four new councilors taking seats on the dais at the first of the year, the Los Alamos County Council's dynamic still is being defined.
While the leadership and direction of the current council has yet to be chiseled in stone, some seasoned observers have weighed in on what they've seen so far.
ESPANOLA, N.M. (AP) — Investigators say they didn't find signs of sexual abuse on a 17-month-old Espanola girl who died from blunt force trauma to the head.
Santa Fe County officials tell KOB-TV that medical personnel may have misinterpreted some conditions on Breandra Pena's body as sexual abuse.
Nathan Montoya was arrested Tuesday and charged with child abuse resulting in death. Authorities originally believed the baby was sexually assaulted and said Montoya might face additional charges.
SOMA, Japan (AP) — A third explosion in four days rocked a crippled nuclear power plant in tsunami-ravaged northeastern Japan early Tuesday as authorities struggled to avert a catastrophic release of radiation.
The cascading troubles at the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex were set in motion when last Friday's quake and tsunami knocked out power, crippling the cooling systems needed to keep nuclear fuel from going into full meltdown.
The capital improvement project for the Los Alamos Historical Museum and Fuller Lodge will be discussed during the Capital Improvement Project Oversight and Evaluation Committee's March 24 meeting, not March 17, as reported in Wednesday's Los Alamos Monitor.
Also, the Los Alamos historic archives were located in the west wing of Fuller Lodge, not the south.
Los Alamos County Council decided to include an Eastern Area Sound Mitigation Study in the Transportation Corridor Study and Plan for NM502.
A neighborhood meeting for the study will be :5-7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Fire Administration Training Room; 195 East Rd.
This will be a visioning meeting to discuss the noise calibration model, noise mitigation methods, and the advantages and disadvantages of different methods.
At a second meeting, noise mitigation and noise barrier plans with evaluations will be presented.
Governor Susana Martinez has proclaimed March 20-26 as Colorectal Cancer Awareness Week in New Mexico.
As part of New Mexico's participation in this annual national health observance, the New Mexico Department of Health Colorectal Cancer Program and the New Mexico Cancer Council encourage all New Mexicans age 50 and older to get regular screening for colorectal cancer.
Progress has been made in the war against colorectal cancer, according to the New Mexico Department of Health Colorectal Cancer Program.
New Mexico jobless rate grows
ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico's jobless rate rose to 8.7 percent in January, up from 8.6 percent in December and 8.1 percent in January 2010.
State labor officials said New Mexico lost 3,500 jobs between January 2010 and January 2011.

Location: Animal Parasitic Diseases Laboratory2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
Develop an integrated risk model for toxoplasma in the U.S. pork industry.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
Will test various drug or vaccine candidates in mice experimentally-infected with Toxoplasma strains of different genotypes.
3. Progress Report:
This is a multi-institutional five year agreement funded through the National Institutes of Health. The main objective is to develop a protective vaccine against Toxoplasma. Mice are generally used to test the protective efficacy of vaccines because (1) mice are susceptible to Toxoplasma, (2) reagents are available to measure immune parameters in mice, and (3) mice are easily managed in the laboratory. This year we developed a robust oocyst challenge model to study protective immunity in transgenic mice human Leukocyte antigen, (HLA) and used this model to study the efficacy of adjuvants and different vaccine candidates. Entrapment of antigenic peptides in non ionic surfactant adjuvant system (NISV) has proven problematic, likely due to solubility and charge of many of these peptides. Consequently we are now moving to the use of longer proteins which will circumvent these issues. A number of these peptides that we were able to entrap in NISV were tested in the transgenic mice/oocyst challenge model. Very minimal protection was observed in these experiments. We are now moving to study immune protection using different oral delivery systems for the presentations of toxoplasma antigens.

RFA Deadline Is Here
In preparing for the absence of McNeill and Jackson, the Chargers signed veteran left tackle Tra Thomas and wide receiver Josh Reed. Reed provides depth at a talented position on the team, while Thomas would serve as the unquestioned starter in the event that McNeill remains on hiatus. On the bright side, at least it is not Clary or Dombrowski manning the all important left side of the line.
So the question is, how confident do you feel thinking about the absence of Jackson and McNeill for a majority of the regular season? Thomas, at the age of 35, may be a serviceable tackle protecting River's blind side. Reed is really just another guy at wide receiver, although he never had the talent around him to become much more than that in Buffalo, where he spent the last eight-years. But if you aren't replacing Pro Bowl talent with Pro Bowl, can it be considered anything less than the team, as a whole, getting worse? It certainly does not improve the Chargers' Super Bowl hopes.
If you had a choice as to which of these two players you could guarantee will be here and ready to play come Week 1 of the regular season, who would that player be? Give us your thoughts, and include your name so people can respond!

Definetly McNeil, Rivers needs time in the pocket to find the open receiver, whom ever that might be.
In week 17 vs the Redskins starting defense, which is actually pretty good, Floyd made catches for 140 yards with no VJ. It's all about Rivers and giving him time.
It was McNeil, but now i'm thinking VJ because looking at the first four games that he'd miss due to suspension, kc, jacksonville, seattle and arizona, the arizona game is the only one where he might be the difference between winning and losing.
McNeil is not playing to his rookie form, and Tra Thomas has been to the pro bowl 3 times. He knows what he's doing, so the drop off isn't so big. That said, I'd love to see McNeil on the left and Thomas on the right.
Get em both signed though, Go chargers!
mcneill is needed to shore up the blind side for the future (spending another high pick wont garantuee a better one), so i think its very important to give him a good deal. although i think that tra thomas will easily be good enough this year and maybe for one or two years after that.
VJ, pretty much my favourite player, behind rivers now that LT is gone... i just hope that he gets a good contract (something in the area of the top-10 WRs), because he deserves it. rivers is great, but i saw some passes that were completed only because jackson made an incredible effort.
hopefully this stuff works out. what about merriman though? he is a perfect one-year-tender guy. if he plays well (can finally recover from his injury), give him a contract and otherwise cut him.
and i would say that reed is good. better than average, but not great. in the end, the offense is likely to finish among the top 5, and if the defense steps it up a little, this team can go anywhere. with or without VJ and mcneill
It is tough to give either guy the BIG deal that they want. VJ, although productive, is facing a mandatory suspension for his 2nd DUI and the driving with a suspended license and expired tags wont help. He's worth a long term deal but probably not the deal he wants.
McNeill fell to us in the 2nd round of the draft due to injury concerns. Primarily at the time the concern was with his back, which he has not injured in the Pro's. He has however been injured most of his career. Most of the time he has still been able to play at a high level (even with two broken hands) but the problem is the same. Can you really give this guy the BIG contract that he wants?
Unless either of these guys take a home team discount, it does not appear that they will be with the Chargers long term.
I think it has been the same problem with Sproles. The Chargers definitely see value in him but are concerned that he is one big hit from being out of football. The are set to pay him over $7 million this year which speaks volumes about how the Chargers value him. Again they would love to sign him to a shorter deal for fear that he may suffer a serious injury. It costs the Chargers more in the long run if he stays healthy but it is less risky in the short run.
you know what is ridculous....think of a working class joe (blue collar/white collar) sitting out and not taking the largest salary (more than total combined working income) because we deserved more. Give me a fricken break. Cry me a freakin river.
^you have a point. but when you are VJ and you see moss, fitz and even ochocinco making 6m+/year and you played as good as they did and you made what? 600k? 900k?
these salaries are not comparable to "us", and if you were up there, you wouldnt look back either. the whole system is crazy, this is right, but VJ is not greedy or whatever. he just wants the money he thinks he deserves. you also wouldnt go working for 300$ per month full-time, right? people in nigeria/ghana would love to, and would call you a greedy fucker as well.
BUT with all the legal trouble, i dont think this is realistic.
AJ. In my opinion is putting his foot in his mouth. Hardball tactics is one thing. Common sense would tell you to attempt to keep you young proven players signed. He should've have given VJ contract a while ago. Instead he waited and waited..then, Brandon Marshall got a huge contract. You can't blame VJ for wanting his comparable share dispite his legal woes. Your paying little man, #43 7 million for two season strait. It seems AJ and Spanos cheap skate ways are getting the best of them and rightfully so. The only problem is it's discouraging their players and The Charger Fans. This is what I see last year we were 13-3. This year we've lost, LT, Cromartie, Brandon Mal, Merrimum, VJ and McNeil and we are supose to make SB run. What a joke!
AJ. Do you feel big talking smack to the Media. You need to learn better tactics and quit being such an asshole. Spanos get you're head out of your ass.
Lighting 72
Situations like this are what pulls teams apart. If we don't start showing some consistancy we will never win a superbowl. Pull it together bolts!!!
The real winner here is Malcom Floyd. He's making as much as VJ would have and now he becomes the Number One target. Next year he'll be in a stronger position and will make more money than VJ again. Who will probably end up holding out again, or signing for way less than he's worth as a result. Talk about a meathead. He claims he doesn't want to risk injury, but missing 10 games is missing more than the majority of non-serious injuries. He's not going to get paid more than 3 million again for at least 3 years. (Next year no one will sign an aging rusty reciever with off field problems, look at Santonio Holmes, superbowl mvp thats worth a 6 round pick).
Hope both sides come to an agreement before OTA's. This time away from the Media. I hear Tim Dobbins got two yr contract. It's nice to see someone is getting paid this off season, AJ and Dean.
Lighting 72
Releasing, yet another proven young player. Ellison like Gatrell, Dobins , Cromarti, Michael Turner and list goes on and on. Chargers 13-3 record was in part to experience of #56, #31(Crow), #83(VJ), #21(LT) and #73 all of whom will not be there for the 2010 season. This is very displeasing as a SD fan. The front office new this is my way or the high approach really stinks. How can you trust a team that shows no loyalty for great performers? Prior to off season there was an article that polled NFL players on which team they would like to play for. SD was one of two and I'm sure this is not the case anymore.
If Chargers don't clean up their act I will forfeit my season tickets.
Lighting 72 The fans need to be heard sign VJ.

We asked our readers who they thought were leading the field in the continental market this year. Here we present the results.
We polled thousands of our readers who either worked directly in the European market or who were involved in European business and asked them to nominate the companies and individuals they believe to be the leaders in our various categories.
The results have proved to be very interesting, with some familiar faces and also some new arrivals to the awards. In terms of regular showings, Allianz have picked up three of the four insurance awards, along with Michael Diekmann, its CEO, winning the prize for best insurance boss for the second time in two years.
Another CEO who did well was Nikolaus von Bomhard, who has also won the prize for best reinsurance leader for the second year in a row, with his company Munich Re completely dominating the reinsurance results, taking all the prizes.

What are you doing October 2nd, 6th, 7th or 8th? Busy those days? Considing helping me by blogging!
I am the Director of Volunteers for a local Virginia 5K race called the Anthem Great Pumpkin 5K and we [okay ME] NEED volunteers. I have this GRAND idea that local bloggers would be so generous as to donate their time, but I also thought it would be a FUN way for those of us that know each other via twitter/facebook/blogs to actually meet in person.
There are a variety of roles – some as short as 2 hours. After the race there is Oktoberfest!!! Come donate your time and then have FUN after. VOLUNTEER JOB LISTING
Sunday October 2nd, myself and some of my friends and fellow bloggers [including Sweaty Emily and Hungry Mom on The Run] will be stuffing race packets at The Greater Washington Sports Alliance, the former headquarters for the National Marathon. For a running geek such as myself, this is a super fun opportunity to hang out with fellow runners, and meet and talk with some bloggers I have never met!! We still need about 8 more people to join us.
On the 6th and 7th of October race packet pickup and registration is being held at the YMCA Reston. This race benefits the YMCA, so it is only natural that we will be holding packet pick up there. Shifts are short and if you are running a race that weekend you do not have to stand the whole time. I'll make sure there are chairs for you to rest your feet!!
|Chloe running the kids race 2010
|A VERY pregnant Mile Posts at the 2010 race
Race day is the 8th and we need people to stand on course and make sure runners and walkers are going the correct direction. Once the last runner/walker goes by your job is done. This means you can head over to Reston Town Center and enjoy the music and BEER!
If you can't help out please consider blogging about our [ok MY] need for volunteers!!

Various: Bughouse Vol. 1 cassette
Not Normal Records
I love this recent punk / hardcore phenomenon of releasing mix tapes. I get really bored with surfing around stupid social networking sites looking for new bands... it's nice to have someone actually carefully curate something for you to listen to. Like Not Normal's previous compilation, These Are the Voices in the Back of Your Head, Bughouse I is a wonderfully diverse, current, and high-quality compilation. You get everything from the raw hardcore of the Floor Above and Orden Mundial to the more melodic punk of Tenement and Christi, and a whole lot of brilliant punk and hardcore that falls somewhere in between. I mean, this thing has some of my absolute favorites of the past few years: Primetime, Mystic Inane, The Bug (all of whom contribute exclusive tracks) as well as a bunch of others who are totally new to me and whose music is just sinking in. With 60 whole minutes of quality punk rock it's going to take a little while for this to sink in, but I'm looking forward to the process. I kind of wish this was on vinyl because I think it's more than good enough, but if you're looking at this from a value for money standpoint this cassette absolutely can't be beat.Tags: 10s compilations garage hardcore punk

8 Ways To Maintain A Healthy And Fit Brain
Our brains are more adaptive than we ever imagined. Neuroplasticity describes the amazing ability of our brains to reorganize and adapt itself to form new neural connections throughout life. Scientists have now shown that brain maps are adaptive and malleable and can be "re-wired" so that one area can assume the function of another.
Re-organizing of our brain maps though is not the only amazing brain superpower. Scientists studying recovery from brain injury have shown that parts of our brains possess the ability to regenerate throughout adult life. Neurogenesis, the regeneration of brain cells, suggests that maybe an old dog can learn new tricks after all.
So how do we harness the possibilities of neuroplasticity and neurogenesis to maintain and improve our brain health and function? The answer is largely in our reach. Through targeted lifestyle interventions we can indeed boost our brain health and fitness. Here is an eight-step plan to get started.
1. Exercise your brain
If you don't use it, you risk losing it! Brain exercise does not require however a membership in a "brain gym" or downloading the latest "brain game" app. Instead, you can challenge your brain often with novel and engaging activities. Learning to play a musical instrument, speak a new language or taking on a new hobby can provide ongoing learning and mental challenge. Change your scenery. Traveling to new locations and exploring them- without relying on navigation tools to get around -- can bolster cognition.
2. Take risks and make mistakes
Trying new things requires risk taking behaviour. The failures that arise from our own decisions to take risks can often provide better learning experiences than the successes. This is because of the powerful impact of negative feedback in our adaptive neural networking. If you want to know how to do something, trying it and doing it wrong a few times is often necessary to learn and retain the new knowledge. Indeed, we learn a lot from our mistakes. And it is always better to try and fail then to not have tried at all. As Wayne Gretzky has famously said, "You miss 100 per cent of the shots you don't take".
3. Practice positivity and action-oriented thinking
Negative thinking and self-doubt can actually kill neurons and prevent the creation of new ones. On the other hand, optimism can provide a buffer to protect the brain from stress. A morning ritual of inscribing in a gratitude journal can help drive positive thinking, until optimism is more automatic and the brain can turn to action-oriented productive thoughts. When the brain thinks about action, the learning and networking that occurs nearly matches the mental memory laid down by performing the action.
As the Canadian psychiatrist, scientist and acclaimed author of The Brain that Changes Itself, Dr. Norman Doidge, has said; "imaging an act engages the same motor and sensory programs that are involved in doing it." In other words, merely thinking about action is almost as good for your brain as doing it.
4. A strong frame is needed for a healthy brain
Sitting is the new smoking. Beyond all the other health benefits of being active, exercise also enhances brain function and neurogenesis at any age. Moderate intensity aerobic activity like jogging or cycling, has been shown to boost concentration in school-aged children, improve cognitive performance and reduce the risk of dementia in adults.
5. Consume superfoods for a better brain
The MIND diet has been endorsed as a brain healthy diet that combines the Mediterranean diet with a reduced salt heart healthy DASH diet. The MIND diet has been shown to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
What about brain super foods? Specific nutrients have been shown to effect mood, memory and brain performance. Early human brain development (encephalization) tracks closely to the development of a shore based diet rich in fish derived omega 3 fatty acids (notably DHA).
More recently, comparative studies have shown that countries where there is little fish consumption have higher rates of depression than countries that have DHA-rich diets. Omega 3 rich foods include fatty fish (sardines, salmon), krill and walnuts. Phytonutrients in berries (blueberries) and cruciferous vegetables (like kale) have anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory brain boosting benefits. Brain-active flavonoids can be found in ginkgo leaves, cocoa, dark chocolate, and green tea and caffeine has been shown to improve memory, mental performance, and protect against depression in women.
6. Sleep well to reboot your brain
A good night's sleep is vital to brain health. During sleep, the brain is unencumbered to carry out important housekeeping tasks such as flushing out accumulated toxins (like beta-amyloid the hallmark protein of Alzheimer's) and cementing new learning and memories through neuroplasticity.
New research suggests that sleep deprivation blocks memory formation and ability of the brain to repair from daily wear and tear. As a result, lack of sleep can lead to shrinking brain volume. So night owls beware; the sleep deficit accumulated from getting less than seven to eight hours a night may increase the risk of cognitive decline, memory loss and Alzheimer's disease.
7. Buffer stress
Stress serves as a common denominator in aging the brain and body. Stress shrinks vital brain components such as the hippocampus, amygdala and prefrontal cortex; the three regions responsible for memory, learning and biofeedback. While small amounts of stress at the time of learning may be critical to encode new information in the first place, excessive stress acutely or extreme stress chronically can greatly impair memory and learning. The best way to mitigate the toll of stress is to continuously hone your stress management techniques. Since we can't avoid stress, it is good to prepare by mastering the practice of mindfulness, meditation and deep breathing. New neurofeedback driven meditation tools, like the brain-sensing headband MUSE, can help keep you on track.
8. Boost your social network
Spending time enjoying the company of friends can be good for your brain. Social interactions have been shown to boost brain function as much as intellectual stimulation. So to maintain your mental vitality as you age, cherish your friends and spend time laughing together. It's good for your brain!
The new science of neuroplasticity and neurogenesis has informed us that the choices we make can shape our brain health as we age. These science-based brain tips can be incorporated into your lifestyle to improve memory and cognitive performance. Brain vitality is well within your reach!

It's all too easy to remain in your comfort zone, but learning a new skill, language or musical instrument will not only stimulate the little grey cells but enrich your life too.
Everyday routines drain our brains, so change things about. From the routes you take to the shops or work, to what you cook for dinner, the changes you make can be big or small, but encourage yourself to step away from the norm.
Although it is important to challenge yourself, you must also take time to refresh and unwind. Our brains require time to process information deeply in order to learn from our daily experiences. It may sound obvious, but relaxing reduces stress and the over-production of brain chemicals and hormones, such as cortisol, which in large quantities can negatively affect parts of the brain.
Watching too much TV can dull brain programming. Instead, put on your favourite music playlist, turn the volume up and really listen to it rather than just have it as background sound. Research shows that music can lower stress hormones which impede memory and increase feelings of well-being.
More mess leads to more stress! Revamp your home or workplace by de-cluttering and provide mental space for creativity and renewal.
Research shows that when you're persistently sleep-deprived, your body doesn't have the time to build proteins, which can damage your brain. So go to bed early and, once a week, give yourself a treat and stay in bed for an extra hour or so.
When was the last time you tried to write, draw or even stir your tea with your weaker hand? Doing day-to-day activities with your "other" hand can drive your brain to make positive changes, as it requires the brain to pay close attention to a normally unconscious behaviour.
Exercise can improve our energy levels and immune system, as well as our sense of wellbeing, sleep, and brain health. Again, variety can be key, and taking up a new activity – be it yoga, swimming, Nordic walking or kick boxing – is invigorating and pushes us to learn new disciplines. Nervous about something new? Take a friend along to encourage you and so you can both make changes in your life.
Although coffee or tea will give you an immediate boost, too many cups can be harmful for your brain. Sipping water can be remarkably helpful when your energy levels are ebbing or your concentration is starting to dip.
Finally, just in case this has all sounded a bit serious so far, the tenth tip is to simply: "have fun". Socialising and spending happy time with friends and family enables the sharing of experiences, challenges, emotions, trust, and understanding. Research shows that people with five or more regular social ties halved their risk of cognitive decline compared to those with no social ties.

I don't understand how someone
Can be so against same-sex couples.
Don't you realize that a child would
Much rather have two mothers
Than a single one falling apart
Trying to raise kids and work, and
Get them everywhere, and feed them,
And pay the taxes and bills.
Don't you realize that you have
No place to say these things?

Today's fan share comes to us from Katharine of Katharine Elizabeth Photography. She writes, "Now that the holiday season is in full swing, I needed to start finding gifts for my own family members. For my pre-teen niece and nephew, I decided a nice gift might be their own set of personalized thank you notes. For my niece, I used the All Buttoned Up letters to create a simple 4x5.5 card with "Thank You" on the front and her name and ample writing space on the back. For my nephew (who LOVES baseball), I used the Alphabet Frames and a photo I took at our Minnesota Twins baseball stadium and I added his name on the back corner of the card. I love the way they turned out and I hope the kids feel grown-up having their own stationary for thanking school friends, family members, teachers, or anyone else important in their lives."
Thanks for sharing, Katharine, and enjoy your $75 gift certificate~

Poor Animal / I Can't Stand
By Zola Jesus
With its throbbing trance beat and buzzy synths, the opening notes of Zola Jesus' 'Poor Animal' will have you bracing yourself for some trendy, electro-indie fare, but then Nika Roza Danilova opens her mouth, and 'Poor Animal' becomes a much more interesting prospect. Her yelpy, faintly disturbing and always unintelligible vocals bristle through this track's bog-standard combo of meaty, repetitive beats and NME-friendly synths, putting an eerie slant on what would otherwise be a pretty boring song. When 'Poor Animal' goes for the epic, sweeping ending, Zola Jesus are clearly out of their comfort zone. The additional synths and out-of-place strings manage to detract from Danilova's voice, without adding anything to the song - luckily, the opening half is bewitching enough to warrant repeat listens.
'I Can't Stand;' the second half of this double A-side has all the appropriate alt-pop pieces: eerie atmospherics, keyboards, gossamer backing vocals and a limping beat, but none of them fit together right. The woozy beat and the vocals are marginally in sync, but all the other sound effects and the backing vocalists are doing something very strange in the background. On its own, 'Poor Animal' may not wow, but Danilova's broken vocals are just intriguing enough to have you considering paying a visit to this band's Myspace - but, after hearing 'I Can't Stand,' you may just change your mind.

Principles of Structuralism Meaning occurs through difference and SIGNS' relationship to each other. Ex: woman vs. lady Much of our imaginative world is structured in binary sets (opposites) which assign structure and meaning to signs. Ex: cruel vs. humane Principles of Structuralism Forms the basis of SEMIOTICS, the study of signs. Sign = union of SIGNIFIER and SIGNIFIED. Ex: c-a-t, fuzzy critter that goes "meow" CODES provide signs with context cultural context, literary context, etc. Principles of Structuralism Emphasizes that humans create meaning. Structuralism, then, allows us to examine our relationships with literature, art, society, etc. Our sense of self -- our consciousness -- exists in relation to outside collective influences. We are NOT self-contained! Principles of Structuralism Reality is conventional; our perceptions of the world around us are bound up in conventions, codes, signs, etc. The "social construction of reality". Structuralism's ultimate argument is this… There is a connection between our concept of reality, the self, society, consciousness, and unconsciousness. They are all connected to each other and are bound by the same laws, signs, and conventions. When reading a "text": Look for… Parallels in plot Echoes in structure Reflections/repetitions in character/motive Contrasts in situation/circumstance Patterns in language/imagery Barthes' five "codes" Barthes identifies five codes which he says provide the underlying narrative structures for all literature. When reading, attempt to place a work in the system of codes. The codes are: 1. 2. Proairetic - provides indications of actions; "reality". Ex: The ship sailed at noon. Hermeneutic - poses questions or enigmas that provide narrative suspense and involve the reader. Ex: if the narration indicates a knock on the door, the reader asks herself, "Who is it?" Codes continued 3. Cultural - contains references beyond the text which are considered common knowledge (allusions, metonymy). Ex: if a character is described as driving a hybrid car, there are certain cultural assumptions attached to that character. Codes continued 4. Semic - linked to a theme on the character level, when a series of signs and ideas surround an individual. 5. Symbolic - linked to theme on a larger level. Consists of contrasts and pairings related to the most basic binary polarities - man/woman, good/evil, lost/recovered, etc. ** Frye's fictional modes MYTH - the hero is superior in kind to other men and the environment of other men; generally a story about a god ROMANCE - the hero is superior in degree to other men; ordinary laws of nature are suspended; often has supernatural powers Fictional modes continued HIGH MIMETIC - superior to men, but not to the environment; hero is a leader. (Often found in epic and tragedy.) LOW MIMETIC - Jane Austen's bread and butter. Everyday hero; appeals to our common sense of humanity. Romantic comedies. Fictional modes continued IRONIC - hero is inferior to other men or his environment. Ben Stiller's lifeline. Includes satire. Apply these modes to tragedies and comedies. Thus, you can have a high mimetic tragedy (Macbeth) or a low mimetic comedy (Pride & Prejudice). Archetypes Definition: a symbol, usually an image, which recurs often enough in literature to be recognizable as an element of one's literary experience as a whole (individually and collectively) Apocalyptic vs. Demonic Apocalyptic: archetypes that reflect ultimate human desire (roughly equated with our sense of heaven) Demonic: archetypes that reflect everything that society rejects; a total inversion of the apocalyptic (roughly equated with our sense of hell) Archetypal forms Divine world = society of gods Human world = society of men Animal world = domesticated flocks Vegetable world = garden Mineral world = cities, construction Apocalyptic imagery: divine • • • • • One God All ultimate unity Idealized world Magic Emphasis on heavenly bodies ** Mythical AND analogical Apocalyptic imagery: human One man Christ (though he operates in a divine context as well) 3 types of fulfillment: individual, social, and sexual Philosopher-kings Sexual symbolism - two bodies become one Chaste people, like Sir Galahad Apocalyptic imagery: animal One flock King as shepherd Birds (esp. doves) Horses and hounds (romance) Unicorn (emblem of virgins) Ass Apocalyptic imagery: veggie One Tree (of Life) Fruit and leaves on a tree = bread and wine (communion) Flowers (esp. flowers) Enchanted forests of Shakespeare's comedies, Robin Hood, etc. Apocalyptic imagery: mineral One Building, Temple, or Stone City = "house of many mansions" Geometrical and architectural images Stairways, ladders, even Rapunzel's hair Demonic imagery: divine Perversions of apocalyptic imagery are called MODULATIONS. Vast, menacing powers of nature Fate Sense of human remoteness and futility Demonic imagery: human Ego runs rampant Perversion of the 3 areas of fulfillment in apocalyptic imagery Loyalty to a tyrant diminishes the individual Sacrificial victim, scapegoat Mob violence blends the first 2 Demonic imagery: animal Monsters, beasts of prey Wolf, traditional enemy of sheep Tiger Vulture Serpent Dragon (soooo contextual) Demonic imagery: veggie Sinister forest Heath (recall Macbeth) Waste land Scaffold (as a modulation of the tree of life) Demonic imagery: mineral Waste land (again) Cities of sin and destruction (Babel, Reno, etc.) Images of perverted work (instruments of torture or war) Sinister spirals (maelstrom) Archetypes and Cycles Images fall into cyclical movements. 1. Divine = death/rebirth 2. Fire-world = heavenly bodies 3. Human = dreaming/waking 4. Animal = life/death 5. Veggie = natural cycles (seasons) 6. Mineral = golden ages, etc. 7. Water cycles Cycles and Genres 4 Mythoi: generic plots These 4 mythoi can be seen as aspects of a single unifying myth, which corresponds this way… Agon - conflict Pathos - catastrophe Sparagmos - anarchy Anagnorisis - recognition/triumph Mythos of Spring: Comedy Young man wants young woman. Resisted by some opposition. Twist enables the hero to have his will. Appearance/adoption of a new society or social order. Often paternal figures provide opposition. Mythos of Summer: Romance Quest/adventure Perilous journey, crucial struggle, exaltation of the hero. (Notice how the 3-part structure parallels that of comedy.) Archetype: dragon-killing, leviathan Can be applied to Exodus Connected to fertility rites Mythos of Autumn: Tragedy Tragedy actually moves cyclically Hero is on top of the wheel of fortune; when he declines, his subordinates do his living for him. In some tragedies (Adam), the hero creates new life after the fall. Sense of natural law and justice Binary structure instead of tertiary Mythos of Winter: Irony/Satire Remember that irony is "realistic"; we are supposed to look down on characters and events from a higher position. Satire is militant irony: wit founded on a sense of the absurd, and an object of attack Wheeee! You're done!
