Seashells, Beach Bling and …. Red Tide
I've combed the beaches from Blind Pass Captiva to the east of Sanibel at the lighthouse. Mid island at Gulf Side City Park is still the best shelling I've found in the last few days. The shells in the photo above were only a few that Carol from PA pulled out of her shell bag to show me. Pretty nice finds, huh? The OLIVES have been gorgeous. Well… there's the ALPHABET CONE, FLORIDA CONE, BANDED TULIPS, MUREXES, WHELKS and she had a few more of those sweet PAPER FIGS in her bag too.
There were still plenty of FIGHTING CONCHS (dead and alive) like I showed you the other day but what caught my eye was this beautiful BROAD PAPER COCKLE.
We have a few in our collection but some of them have chips in them so I'm always happy to find a pretty valve like this one!
While I was at the lighthouse beach finding WENTLETRAPS (I'll show you those on my next post), I found a KEYHOLE LIMPET.
For me, finding shells is the cherry on top… but I also love to see all of the different kinds of BEACH BLING! And I'm not the only one… Dee pointed out this deep purple BRYOZOAN COLONY growing on the wire of a crab trap. Isn't that so cool?
Most people walk right on by a mess of SEAWEED laying on the beach. Not me! I love to pick through it to see what is hiding in there.
I found SEA WHIPS and ATLANTIC WING OYSTERS in all this BEACH BLING. Here's a little movie to show you how I found them… (click on the next image if the movie thingie doesnt show up)
So there are so many different things to check out on the beaches right now… BUT… unfortunately we have RED TIDE coming in as well. I didn't feel any respiratory problems today (which I have in the past when it was bad) but I did see dead fish. Yuck! Since they just washed in, I didnt really smell any bad odors so I didn't mind walking right past them- there's too many other cool things to inspect! Lee County issued a beach advisory yesterday so if you think you might have problems… read HERE.Read More
Merry Holiday Beach Art
Merry Christmas, SS Marcia! In my last post, Marcia asked me if I had seen beach art yet. I had to laugh when the first thing I saw when I walked on the beach was this Christmas tree made with PEN SHELLS. Then right beside it was this beautiful menorah! This is the first that I've seen this season so thank you to the beach art artist who made these!
There was so much Beach Bling in between Donax Rd and Fulgur Rd on Sanibel.
This was one of several TULIP EGG CASES I saw…
I didn't even see the second KEYHOLE LIMPET on the left when I took this photo. I was so amazed at the dark stripes on the big LIMPET and the colors on the tiny APPLE MUREX and BANDED TULIP.
In one little area, the high tide was bringing in shells to build up this nice pile. See that gorgeous LIGHTNING WHELK?
Maybe the golden rays of this Sanibel sunset shining on the amber edges of the ROUGH PENS will inspire the richly talented artists who create their beach art masterpieces for we mere beachcombers to fill our hearts with joy for the holidays. Ahem…. did I ask that nicely enough for more fun holiday beach art stuff? ;)Read More
Seashells Open Your Eyes
The other day, shelling sistah Tricia G asked me if I've ever found a MARGINELLA on Sanibel since I don't have one listed on the SEASHELL IDENTIFICATION page. I've found them before but, come to think about it, I sure haven't found one in a long time. So last night, we headed for the lighthouse because I was on the hunt for that sneaky MARGINELLA. To double my chances, I reminded Super Sheller Clark that I wanted to find one to add to the I.D. page so I told him to be on the lookout too.
Yippee! I found one!….. er…..well…. Clark found it. He was scooping at the surf line when all the sudden I hear him laugh. "Look what I found".
Then he found another one! And then yes, I found that little one on the right. Whew- I wasn't completely out-shelled. Keep in mind, the biggest one is just shy of 1/2 inch and they sort of look like a BUBBLE if the aperture side is down so they aren't easy to find. I found the broken one on the left too so I added it to the photo since I thought it was the same shell.
Dang it! That shell on the left really doesn't even look like a MARGINELLA at all since it has those teeth on the lip. I couldn't even see those teeth until I took the picture and looked at it on the computer. In the last few years I can't even look at my phone or a menu without holding them as far as my arms will extend. You know what I mean? Ha! Geez. Oh well, I've been fortunate so far with my eyes so I shouldn't complain….. it's just weird…. I'm just sayin. ;) Alright, back to the shell…. I think the broken shell on the far left is a DOVE shell just by what's left of it but I could be wrong (I gotta get back to trusting my own eyes again- yikes!). It's not like I can where "readers" on the beach…. maybe? ….. nahhhh.
I didn't need glasses to spot this BROWN-BAND WENTLETRAP though. Love that color running through it!
Nancy from Seashell Wreaths by Nancy reminded me that the name WENTLETRAP is derived from a Dutch word meaning spiral staircase.
We were on the mini shell hunt so we ran across lots of the BUBBLE shells…. appropriately named as well….
We found lots of AUGERS which again, look like their name…
So how about SHARP-RIB DRILL? That flat rib or blade off the sides is pretty sharp, huh?
Now this is getting funny! I didn't plan on dissecting common names of shells tonight but it's kind of fun, right? So let's look at the KEYHOLE LIMPET…..
….and the BUTTON shell….
This CONE shell certainly looks like an ice cream cone….
But I'm not sure that this RICE OLIVE shell looks like an olive but it sure looks like rice…
Picture this next shell on top of Barbie's doll head… yep, it's a TURBAN. Again, I just thought this shell was pretty and knobby. I didn't realize it had a hole in it and the barnacles attached…the eyes are going! Oh well, it's still pretty.
We had our eyes (failing or not) focused on finding a special miniature shell by looking for the particular pattern of a MARGINELLA and we found it. We shell this beach on the east end of Sanibel regularly but we've probably walked right by hundreds of them just because we have been focused on other patterns of shells that we see on a regular basis. i Love Shelling. I really do because it opens my eyes to see beautiful things that I normally would never appreciate.

Miniature Seashell Zone
Shelling is just like life…. look beyond the obvious and you will find something beautiful and extraordinary. I always feel a calmness come over me when I search for the mini shells. When I begin to focus on all the different wash lines of the beach, I feel myself zone everything else out.
One weedy wash line leads me to another line of sticks, broken shells and what looks like mulch. See that little WENTLETRAP among all that "mulch"? I tried to keep that bubbly foam in the photo so you could tell how it was in about 2 inches of water.
I come out of the shelling zone every once in a while to soak in how beautiful this time of day is here on the beach at the lighthouse. Calming.
Then I go into the shelling zone again and remember to look for TUSK shells too. Can you even spot the TUSK shell?
I didn't actually mean to focus on the sand instead of my finger but I'm kinda glad you got to see how big (or I should say how "little") the TUSK shell is AND to see what the area looked like where I found it.
These are some of the same shells as the first picture but there's also a CANTHARUS (top left with barnacles on it), 2 KITTENS PAWS, BARNACLES, a BABY'S EAR (broken), a TURBAN and 2 CROSS BARRED VENUS clams.

Sanibel Beach Is A Beautiful Canvas
Sanibel is the perfect canvas to paint sensational sunsets, beautiful beaches, wonderful wildlife and of course, bountiful beach treasures.
Clark and I walked the beach around the lighthouse late yesterday afternoon in search of some minis. I was looking for KEYHOLE LIMPETS for a picture for my Seashell Identification page. I looked in all of my bags, jars, buckets and drawers of shells and couldn't believe I couldn't find a good LIMPET to photograph.
I found one! …..and another and another. Then Clark joined the hunt and found a few too.
My eye was focused on the pattern of these LIMPETS but I kept seeing the SPOTTED SLIPPERS so I picked them up too.
Since I was focused on the minis I even found TUSK SHELLS which are only 3/8 of an inch long. I was tickled to find them since I'm just learning to have the eye for them. I found three hanging out with a WENTLETRAP and two DWARF OLIVES.
Clark found this teeny tiny TURKEY WING. So to show how small it is, I put it next to the other minis.
I think I've been having miniatures shells on the brain because I just can't believe how sweet this little beautifully framed piece of shell art is I received last week from Sanibel Sister Judith. You have to remember her! She is one of the sisters that uses those giant sized tweezers to pick up the minis at the lighthouse when they come to visit. This is what they make after picking up all those sweet little shells. Talk about a beautiful canvas for those mini shells. I absolutely love it! Thank you Sanibel Sister Judith!
Judith should enter her work into the Sanibel Shell Fair and Show. It's starts this Thursday March 3, 2011 and runs through Sunday March 5. So don't forget and I hope to see you there!Read More
Buckets of Seashells
I didn't see shellers with buckets filled to the rim with seashells today, but I did see a few buckets that had nice quality shells that made every other sheller smile when they peeked into the bottom. This is Eddy's bucket with that big FLAT SCALLOP and so mant color variations and sizes of the FIGHTING CONCHS and other goodies.
I first met Eddy in August with his sister Rachael and they are back in full shelling mode. Look at those CONES Rachael found.
This next bucket could make a grown shelling woman cry… I mean smile too.
This is very impressive to see all of the KINGS CROWNS together in the bottom of this bucket, isn't it? Molly found a secret shelling spot digging in some mud flats where she found all of these lovelies completely empty. Jack pot!
This is KING'S CROWN queen Molly and her daughter Ella with their other best finds of the week…. SEA URCHINS, 8″ HORSE CONCH, ALPHABET CONES, SHARK'S EYES, ANGEL WINGS and a NUT MEG. Ella told me that shelling was her most favorite thing to do. Then a close second was rock climbing.
Ella and her little brother Manny are excited to show off a few more shells.. a SUNRAY VENUS CLAM and a JUVENILE FIGHTING CONCH.
The picture above are treasures that shellers Melody and Bill found on a day trip to Venice yesterday. Clockwise from the left … a KEY HOLE LIMPET, SEA GLASS, SHARK'S TOOTH FOSSIL and a TUSK shell all placed on top of a seagrape leaf. Nice finds!
Happy Anniversary Melody and Bill! What a nice way to "Shellebrate"!
There are still shells on the Sanibel side but the rip tide picked up a little this afternoon in between the shore and the sand bar… so be VERY CAREFUL if you are shelling around there. I've finally found all you crazy shellers like us so I don't want to lose any of you!Read More

Why Democrats Shouldn't Worry Too Much
Pollster Peter Feld doesn't think the sky is falling for Democrats, despite the slippage Andrew Cuomo, Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand recorded amongst independents in today's Siena poll.
That's mainly because Republicans don't have a strong field this year. And the paid media hasn't started. Also, it's fair to say that polls like this will act as a motivating factor for Cuomo, Schumer and Gillibrand--all pretty aggressive campaigners in their own right.
Here's Feld:
"It would be normal for undecided voters to coalesce around a challenger once he becomes better known, and for the margin to narrow, but Lazio hasn't gone up. Hmmm. He certainly will, and if it's 60-24 now then a straight-line projection would yield something like 60-40, which would look like a big tightening. So the significant thing is Andrew going down and Lazio failing yet to consolidate.
"The slippage for Democrats is in line with national trends so it's not a shock to see all three of these go down in ratings. But obviously their opposition is in no position to capitalize -- and Schumer and Gillibrand are strong fundraisers with experience running competitive general-election campaigns, and are going to want to run up huge margins for purely competitive reasons. So while national trends may hold their numbers down, as would lack of voter enthusiasm for these foregone races, it's reasonable to think all three can reverse their slippage with paid media. If Cuomo shows some bold leadership, I bet he still has a shot to score in the higher 60s."

Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi: Mr Reluctant and victim of reluctance
While the BJP leader rises in prominence on the national stage, he and his party shy away from acknowledging that he's in the running for the Prime Ministeria post. Meanwhile the Congress Vice President may be his party's Prime Ministerial candidate for all practical purposes, but he doesn't seem to show any signs of wanting it. Will the two only continue to shadow box until the next elections?

Earlier this week, Amukamara was also named one of 16 semifinalists for the Chuck Bednarik Award for the Outstanding Defensive Player of the Year. Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh won the Bednarik Award last season and was a finalist for the Lott Trophy. Amukamara was also named one of 10 semifinalists for the Jim Thorpe Award earlier this month. That award is presented to the nation's best defensive back.
A native of Glendale, Ariz., Amukamara is among the nation's leaders with 10 pass breakups this season. Opponents have been shy about testing the 6-1, 205-pound corner, allowing only 11 pass completions. He is a major reason why Nebraska ranks in the top five in pass efficiency defense for the second straight season. Amukamara has also added 36 tackles, including his first sack of the season last week at Iowa State.

Peshawar, Dec. 30 (Reuters): Pakistani militants have killed at least 41 people in two separate incidents, challenging assertions that military offensives have broken the back of the hardline groups.
The US has long pressured Pakistan to crack down harder on both homegrown militant groups such as the Taliban and others which are based on its soil and attack western forces in Afghanistan.
In the north, 21 men working for a government-backed paramilitary force were executed overnight after they were kidnapped last week, a provincial official said.
Twenty Shia pilgrims died and 24 were wounded when a car bomb targeted their bus convoy as it headed towards the Iranian border in the southwest, a doctor said.
In the attack in the northwest, officials said they had found the bodies of 21 men kidnapped from their checkpoints outside the provincial capital of Peshawar on Thursday. The men were executed one by one.
"They were tied up and blindfolded," Naveed Anwar, a senior administration official, said over telephone. "They were lined up and shot in he head," said Habibullah Arif, another local official, also by telephone.
One man was shot and seriously wounded but survived, the officials said. He was in critical condition and being treated at a local hospital. Another had escaped before the shootings.
Taliban spokesman Ihsanullah Ihsan claimed responsibility for the attacks.
"We killed all the kidnapped men after a council of senior clerics gave a verdict for their execution. We didn't make any demand for their release because we don't spare any prisoners who are caught during fighting," he said.
The powerful military has clawed back territory from the Taliban, but the kidnap and executions underline the insurgents' ability to mount high-profile, deadly attacks in major cities.
Pakistan, seen as critical to US efforts to stabilise the region before Nato forces withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of 2014, denies allegations that it supports militant groups like the Afghan Taliban and Haqqani network.
Afghan officials say Pakistan seems more genuine than ever about promoting peace in Afghanistan.
At home, it faces a variety of highly lethal militant groups that carry out suicide bombings, attack police and military facilities and launch sectarian attacks like the one on the bus in the southwest.
Witnesses said a blast targeted their three buses as they were overtaking a car about 60km west of Quetta.
International attention has focused on al Qaida and the Pakistani Taliban. But Pakistani intelligence officials say extremist Sunni groups, lead by Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) are emerging as a major destabilising force.
Their strategy now, the officials say, is to carry out attacks on Shias to create the kind of sectarian tensions that pushed countries like Iraq to the brink of civil war.

|538 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 4 nights
The kitchen in this property is fully stocked and complete with all facilities you might need during your stay. The bathroom has a shower and WC and features gold-leaf tiles.
The living room is open plan and has a thematic wall. Another has a built-in wall TV. There is a breakfast table also with a built in hob for lighter cooking.
There are endless options to your trip if you decide to stay at this property as you have first class eating, shopping, sightseeing and cultural options all around you. Start off the day by hitting one of the cute cafes in Covent Garden for a spot of breakfast. Then head over to Regent Street and Mayfair for luxury shopping and why not finish off the day with a cocktail at the glamorous W Hotel Bar on Leicester Square, only a 5 minute walk from the apartment.
The apartment has FREE unlimited Wifi, TV, DVD player, CD player, dishwasher and dryer, and cookery facilities so that you can explore your culinary skills while in London.
Tasteful bed linen and towels are included. Cots for children available. The closest supermarket to the apartment is a Tesco located on 17 Regent Street.
When you have completed your booking, your point of contact before arrival Marcela will contact you with a booking form for you to complete so that we can arrange your arrival. After that we will monitor your arrival details and Lidiana will await you at the property that you have booked with keys and a warm welcome. There is a full set of maps and sightseeing pamphlets at the property but upon your arrival Lidiana is more than happy to assist you with any transport questions or give you recommendations of great restaurants and attractions. If you have any questions do not hesitate to call or e-mail Marcela and she will get back to you as soon as possible.
This is an excellent place with outstanding service from Marcela, who is on-the-ball. The pictures don't do justice to the location and view, in fact--there is a lovely view of Big Ben, the Eye, and (very important!) the back of Admiral Nelson's head in Trafalgar Square. Piccadilly is obviously very busy, but what's wonderful about this flat is that you can *walk* to...the British Museum (20 min), the National Gallery (5 min), Parliament (20 min), etc. The flat itself is tastefully appointed; it has a great kitchen, cleaning/drying, TV mounted high on the wall, and comfy bed. There is some minor street noise in the evenings which didn't bother us much, but note there is construction in the area that will be somewhat noisy during the day if you plan to stay in a lot. However, this will be true of just about anywhere in downtown London. Marcela was incredibly responsive communicating and even accommodated our late departure. We had a great time.
The flat is in an amazing location! Minutes walk from leicester square, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, the British museum, and many other landmarks. The prime location helped us tremendously in making the most of our short stay. Clara was incredibly kind and accommodating despite us arriving and departing a bit late.
This cosy flat offers an excellent home base for exploring London. It's close to major tube stops, but many of the places we wanted to visit were within walking distance. The Saturday night pub crowd can be a little noisy, but you have to expect some noise if you're going to travel to a major city. Klara was a pleasure to deal with.
The best thing about this flat is the location. Between Piccadilly Circus and Leicestet Square - you are in the middle of it all.
The flat is small, but has everything you need. The kitchen is well outfitted. The mattress could probably use an update - it was a bit lumpy. Even so, I would stay here again next time I am in London.
Very satisfied with the location of the apartment, 1 block away from central London where there is plenty to see and do. Hostess was great, came to greet us on arrival, and arranged transportation for us to and from the airport. Have to say was a bit disatisfied with the pillows available, other than that it was a great stay. Apartment is small in size but had all that we needed for our stay there. Over all great place to stay would reccommend to a couple not a family.
We spent a pleasant month in this modern apartment in central London. It was clean and comfortable and Marcela and Viktor made sure we had everything we needed (an extra chair, a non-slip bath mat, etc.). The small compact apartment is steps away from the National Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery, St. Martin's in the Fields, numerous theaters, cinemas, restaurants and food shops. There are two tube stops and many convenient buses nearby. The Tom Cribb pub across the street is even closer.
We had never been to London so wanted a central location to base our adventures from. This spot is in the heart of London & couldn't have found a better flat. Theatres, pubs, buses, tube stations, shopping, Chinatown, are all within a 5 minute walk. While Westminster, Buckingham, St Paul's might be a bit farther it's still a very enjoyable walk.
The actual flat itself is just as they say, full of amenities, hair dryer, dishwasher, washer & dryer, TV, coffee maker, toaster etc. A comfortable bed makes it easy to fall asleep but the pub noise on Friday & Saturday nights make it a bit tough to remain a sleep. But we figured we'd get enough sleep upon our return home!
We would most definitely stay here again!
The apartment features 1 small bedroom and 1 bathroom in a purpose-built building right in the heart of Central London. You are only a short walk from first class shops such as Fortnum & Mason and Liberty, the glamorous The Ritz Hotel and Restaurant (we recommend the Afternoon Tea) and the ultimate London landmarks Buckingham Palace and Houses of Parliament. Glamorous Knightsbridge with department store Harrods and world famous Sloane Street where Gucci is followed by Prada, are only a few stops away on the Piccadilly Line from Piccadilly Circus Station.

Unranked Trojans Pull Off Upset Of Top-Ranked Stanford
LOS ANGELES - The unranked USC men's volleyball team, behind Gabe Gardner's 23 kills, pulled off its second major upset in 4 days as it defeated top-ranked Stanford, 5-15, 15-8, 15-8, 15-13, Friday (Feb. 7) in USC's North Gym.
On Tuesday, the Trojans beat No. 2 BYU at home, 10-15, 15-13, 12-15, 15-11, 15-10.
USC is 4-3 overall and 3-1 in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation, while Stanford suffered its first loss of the season while falling to 4-1 and 2-1.
"All along, I've said this league is so competitive that the No. 15 team could beat the No. 1 team," said first-year USC coach Pat Powers. "Rankings don't mean anything. I know we've got the personnel. We're getting better, but we're still working on some things. We didn't play well in the first game tonight, then our players got embarrassed and started playing."
Chris Guigliano of USC added 17 kills and teammate Szilard Kovacs had 15 kills and 7 blocks. For Stanford, 1996 Olympian Mike Lambert had a match-high 25 kills along with 7 blocks.
On Saturday (Feb. 8), USC hosts No. 11 Pacific in the Lyon Center at 7 p.m.

Bad manners laughable in PICT Classic Theatre British farce 'Blithe Spirit'
An evening with the Condomines can be highly entertaining — and exasperating.
The spouses at the center of "Blithe Spirit," Noel Coward's comedy of bad manners that opened the PICT Classic Theatre season, possess a sophisticated wit as dry and delicious as the martinis they consume.
But, like many of Coward's characters, they also are self-obsessed, smugly satisfied, entitled and opinionated members of the mid-20th century British upper classes.
First produced in 1941, the comedy opens on an English summer evening as Ruth and Charles Condomine are awaiting their dinner guests in their tastefully furnished country house in Kent.
Charles, an established author, has invited another couple to join him and Ruth for dinner and a post-dinner seance with Madame Arcati, the neighborhood psychic.
He's hoping Madame Arcati will be a complete charlatan and provide him with lots of background and details he can use for his next book.
Madame Arcati exceeds everyone's expectations. Instead of producing parlor tricks, the medium unwittingly conjures up Charles' first wife, Elvira, who has been dead for seven years.
Only Charles — and the audience — can see and hear her, which initially causes a great deal of misunderstanding between him and Ruth and generates a lot of laughs for the audience. It quickly becomes apparent that Elvira intends to stay, and the second half of the play revolves around Ruth's, Charles' and Madame Arcati's fruitless attempts to send her back over the great divide.
You might expect your sympathies to lie with Ruth. But Daina Michelle Griffith plays her with such unnecessarily peevish impatience that you begin to enjoy Ruth's frustration at not being able to rid the house of Vera Varlamov's Elvira.
Neither Dan Rodden's Charles nor Varlamov's Elvira are any more sympathetic. This trio deserves to spend eternity sniping at each other over a pitcher of martinis.
That may be what director Alan Stanford was aiming for. He markets the 2014 season under the banner "Something Wicked This Way Comes" and is on record as saying the characters' treatment of Madame Arcati is wicked and that they ultimately pay for that.
Don't misunderstand. They may not be nice people, but separately and together, Charles and his two wives are extremely funny.
So are Lissa Brennan and James FitzGerald as the Bradmans that the Condomines recruit for their seance. Brennan and FitzGerald mine the humor of a long-married couple who have learned to read each other's signals and moods.
Karen Baum, who plays the Condomines' eager-to-please but much maltreated maid, Edith, is loaded down with some awkward movements, presumably for the unnecessary purpose of generating additional humor.
The real star of the show is Madame Arcati played with proper intensity and a nicely underplayed wackiness by Mary Rawson. She has a flair for phrasing a simple sentence to mine its comic potential in ways that the playwright himself would applaud.
Scenic designer and props master Johnmichael Bohach provides a suitably posh upper-class living room that's just a rung or two down the social ladder from Downton Abbey. Joan Markert clothes both the living and the recently returned in suitably tasteful period garb.
Performances of "Blithe Spirit" are few and far between, and Stanford's production will leave you wondering why that is. For a show that runs 150 minutes, it's an elegant but swiftly paced farce that gets the summer theater season off to a promising start.

2011 Wrx Limited Sedan Silver. Nameless muffler delete, Kartboy Short throw w/ cobb knob, Rally Armor mud flaps, 30% tint... Goodbye warranty Cobb AP v3 and Sf intake. Stink-eye mob #1993
Yea I kinda like the contrast the gold gives the silver. I've never really seen anyone do that here and also I paid a **** ton of money for those tires the reason I have them is because no matter if I don't see ice or snow. They were still top rated in all the other categories and they are the quietest smoothest riding tire I've ever ever owned. Also Cobb is here in Austin. So if anything happens I can take it there to get it replaced. I bought all my parts for my last wrx and it was all miss matched. Now I have the opportunity to do it right. Unless the price is so ridiculously different. Then I'm gonna a go buy the parts at their building here.
Dont buy cheap ebay knockoffs, thats disgraceful to the Subaru you drive, its not a rice rocket, and you're nota Ricer and it has the possibility to be broken more easily. - Roger
To give you something to look forward to, my stage 2 sti is putting down 298AWHP/324WTQ on 91 octane (California crap gas).
Power Mods:
Aps 65mm CAI (intake)
Invidia Bellmouth v2 Catted Downpipe
Hks Carbon Ti Exhaust
Custom tune @ 19psi by Mike @ GST Motorsports. Mike knows his stuff. His time attack subaru just broke 200whp per cylinder. I've been stage 2 since 900 miles. Car now has just over 36k.
Other mods I loved, and worth considering :
Oil catch can to prevent detonation and a dirty intake track
Front and rear strut bars
Front and rear aftermarket sway bar & endlinks
I was using cobb stage 2 springs that lowered it. Combined with a rear camber kit and tire wear was perfect. Now that I am back from college the roads suck so I went back to OEM springs for now.
Stop tech slotted rotors all around
Poterfield racing pads
Stainless steel brake lines
Kartboy short shifter & bushings - well worth it
Aftermarket radiator hoses

Gov. Martinez orders NM flags flown at half-staff
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Gov. Susana Martinez has ordered that New Mexico state flags be flown at half-staff until sunset Friday in honor of the firefighters killed while fighting an Arizona wildfire.
The 19 [auth] fallen firefighters were members of the Granite Mountain Interagency Hotshot Crew, which is part of the Prescott Fire Department in northern Arizona.
They were killed Sunday while battling a wildfire in the small town of Yarnell.
Martinez says members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots were in New Mexico a few weeks ago to battle the Thompson Ridge fire in Jemez.
The governor says the firefighters made the ultimate sacrifice to protect and defend families against the threat of wildfires.
Martinez signed an executive order Monday for the state flags to be flown at half-staff beginning at dawn Tuesday.

Analysing strategic alliances in building construction
Hampson, Keith D. & Kwok, Tommy (1996) Analysing strategic alliances in building construction. In Sobolewski, Michael & Fox, Mark (Eds.) Advances in Concurrent Engineering Conference (CE96), Technomic Publications, University of Toronto, Ontario, pp. 172-180.
|Accepted Version (PDF 113kB)
Building construction is a highly competitive and risky business. This competitiveness is compounded where conflicting objectives amongst contracting and subcontracting firms sets the stage for an adversarial and potentially destructive approach. There is a need for change in the construction industry—not only to a more cooperative approach to build mutual trust, respect and good faith—but also from a confrontationist and adversarial attitude to a harmonious relationship. It is necessary to change the culture to create a win-win situation. "Strategic Alliances" is one such concept. A strategic alliance is a cooperative arrangement between two or more organisations that forms part of their overall strategies, and contributes to achieving their major goals and objectives. This paper begins with an overview of the Australian building construction industry, then reviews the literature and describes an analysis framework comprising six attributes of strategic alliances—trust, commitment, interdependence, cooperation, communication, and joint problem solving. Given the trend towards greater emphasis on broader contracting firm performance criteria, indicators are proposed as a component of the tender evaluation process for public works.

European companies wishing to do business in the vast U.S. market will find Delaware an ideal jurisdiction for basing operations. Similarly, Delaware can be a welcome home for executives of such companies who want to hold personal assets in the U.S.
Delaware's business-friendly environment and favorable tax structure are attracting well-known companies. For European CEOs who would like to relocate their corporation's headquarters, or who simply wish to have operations in the U.S., Delaware can offer a hospitable business climate and access to financial partners that are familiar with fulfilling the needs of international clients.
Accessing the U.S. Capital Markets
Working with an entity based in Delaware is a particularly attractive way for European companies to access the U.S. capital market, which has become a primary purpose for doing business in the U.S. The U.S. capital market is large, liquid and flexible. Many American investors are eager to diversify their portfolios by holding European securities and this demand can provide European companies with funds at a reasonable cost. In addition, raising capital in the U.S. offers European companies a way to diversify currency risk by issuing dollar-denominated securities.
European companies often turn to the U.S. capital markets in order to raise funds for their American operations. In recent years, issuance of commercial paper has been increasing as European companies discover the appeal of unsecured, short-term debt for financing accounts receivable and inventories. Commercial paper is especially attractive now, given the lower short-term interest rates prevailing in the U.S.
When European companies come to the U.S. for business opportunities and access to capital, tax considerations may dictate the choice of jurisdiction. Delaware offers tax benefits to companies wishing to license intellectual property, finance inter-company activities, hold investments, or factor receivables. In all of these situations, state income taxes and capital gains taxes can be minimized by setting up business in Delaware. Moreover, European taxes may be reduced on the eventual disposal of U.S. assets.
It is true that a few other U.S. states have favorable tax laws. However, European companies that use Delaware as a base of operations will find that this state provides other unique benefits to corporations. Well-established Delaware law, for example, includes Section 1902(b)(8) of Delaware's corporation tax code, which provides that a Delaware corporation that limits its activities to the maintenance and management of intangible assets is exempt from Delaware state income tax. This exemption covers dividend income, interest on notes receivable, capital gains, trademark payments, rents, and royalties. Moreover, Delaware permits a corporation to establish a wholly owned Delaware subsidiary to own and manage the parent company's intangible assets.
European companies considering operating in the U.S. must be sure to choose the most appropriate corporate structure for their needs. While many use the basic "C" corporation structure - the standard corporate form in the U.S. - this structure will not be right for every U.S. activity of a European company. Special purpose entities such as "S" corporations, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, trusts, or general partnerships may be more appropriate.
European companies should pick a service provider with expertise in establishing and overseeing all types of special-purposes entities to be sure that they are establishing the one that will best meet their needs. Ideally, this provider should also be able to offer accounting and regulatory filing support, recommend local legal counsel specialized to their needs, provide local independent officers and directors, and serve in various banking and related fiduciary roles, including escrow agent, trustee, and custodian.
When choosing a service provider in the U.S., European corporations should also demand a provider with a stellar track record and a reputation for integrity. This is particularly true when considering the implications of the USA Patriot Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, both of which impose government mandates on how American companies track and disclose financial information. European executives should be leery of any U.S. provider that does not demand full compliance.
Managing Wealth in the U.S.
While their companies are discovering the advantages of doing business in Delaware, European CEOs who wish to hold personal assets in the U.S. are discovering that Delaware is an ideal jurisdiction for this as well.
Among the European CEOs who wish to hold assets in the U.S. are those married to U.S. citizens and those with children or grandchildren living in the U.S. For these or other reasons, European executives may plan to eventually move to the U.S. and therefore, might wish to migrate personal assets as a form of "pre-immigration planning." Of course, a European executive might have other grounds for wishing to hold some assets in the U.S. In tumultuous times, it may be desirable to hold assets in multiple jurisdictions, including the U.S.
When transferring assets to the U.S., European executives might choose to have those assets held in trust. In many cases, such transfers will not trigger any U.S. gift tax consequences. Once assets are in a properly drafted U.S. trust, they may avoid U.S. estate tax at the grantor's death. Despite laws easing the impact of estate taxes in the U.S., they remain a prime concern for wealthy individuals. Effective planning can reduce a family's tax liability.
Generally, U.S. trust laws provide more flexibility than those trust laws in Europe. A Delaware trust can often last longer than trusts established in many European countries. Not only can transfer taxes be minimized, holding assets in trust can be an effective means of shielding those assets from future creditors' claims. A well-planned Delaware trust can provide access to trust assets for present and future generations.
Some of the entities that may interest European executives are:
Dynasty Trusts. As the name suggests, such trusts are meant to serve the grantor's descendants, far into the future. A reliable trustee can make trust assets available to its beneficiaries for vital purposes, such as funding higher education or starting a business. Because the trust beneficiaries do not own these assets, however, the assets are not usually reachable by the beneficiaries' creditors, divorce settlements, and other claims.
Asset Protection Trusts. These trusts can place assets beyond the reach of the grantor's future creditors. Under Delaware's landmark asset protection trust law, the grantor may have access to trust assets if the need arises.
Total Return Trusts. Many trusts create a conflict between current income and future beneficiaries. The solution may be found in trusts that instruct the trustee to invest for total return, long term, while periodically "peeling off" a percentage of assets for the income beneficiaries.
Blind Trusts. The trustee is given the authority to trade trust assets without the grantor's approval or prior knowledge. This approach may be ideal for European executives who would be considered insiders of U.S. companies - their holdings could be sold without running afoul of securities regulations.
Limited Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies. These entities permit individuals to hold assets, especially investment property, without exposing other personal assets to creditors of the entity. They are generally taxed as partnerships in the U.S., which can lead to benefits such as the ability to deduct accounting losses and the avoidance of corporate income tax.
High-net-worth individuals can find the vehicles that will best suit their purposes and use them to help accomplish their goals. What's more, they can proceed with reasonable confidence that their efforts won't be overturned in the future: Delaware has a long history of respecting property rights, so European executives are justified in believing that the rules won't be changed retroactively.
Whether European executives are coming to America for business or for personal financial reasons, teaming up with a Delaware expert can enable them to take advantage of Delaware's unique opportunities.

Strawberry Cheesecake Squares
1½ cups cashews
1½ cups oats
1 cup pitted dates
6 tablespoons melted coconut oil
4 heaping cups strawberries, green tops removed
1 - 14 oz. can coconut cream OR 2 cans coconut milk, refrigerated overnight + liquid drained
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup melted coconut oil
2-4 tablespoons maple syrup OR agave nectar
Soak cashews in warm water for at least one hour. Blend all ingredients together in a food processor or high speed blender. Grease or line a 9x9 inch glass baking dish. Press date & nut mixture into the bottom of the baking dish. Refrigerate or freeze to set coconut oil, about one hour.
Blend strawberries, coconut cream, vanilla, coconut oil and maple syrup in a high speed blender until completely combined. Remove crust-filled baking dish from the fridge and fill evenly with the cheesecake mixture. Cover + place in the freezer or fridge to set for at least 3 hours or overnight. When ready, remove from the fridge, cut with a large knife into 12 even squares, and plate. Sprinkle with crushed cashews, fresh strawberries, and a bit of coconut whipped cream, if you like. Since coconut cream can get melty in the heat (like in some of the photos above!), this dessert is best left in the fridge or freezer until you are ready to eat it. It lasts indefinitely covered in the freezer, and makes 12 medium-sized or 15 small cheesecake squares. Enjoy!

I noticed that MovableType is gone from the category list. Is there just no interest in MovableType? I submitted a MovableType theme about 6 months ago and it was rejected (sounded like minor changes – they just wanted changes to the sidebar and footer), but I never ended up resubmitting because the demand would probably be low anyway. I've spent the time since then learning Wordpress, and I'm going to submit my first Wordpress theme this month.
Is anyone out there interested in MovableType? If so, I'll resubmit my theme and adapt the Wordpress one I'm working on into MovableType.

Tall Windows and Trim Problem
We are in the process of building a new house. There are a handful of 6' (or 72") windows in it. The windows are set at a 6'8" (or 80") height to be aligned with the doors.
The issue my builder is telling me we will run into is the apron on my window trim will be meeting my baseboard. I plan to trim my other smaller windows with simple 1x's. We plan to have a tall baseboard, approx 7.5".
So if you do the math, 80" height (top of the windows) minus 72" window size leave it 8" inches from the floor. This puts the window stool 8 inches from the floor and .5 inch from the baseboard.
What do you guys suggest?
Might make sense to get a smaller window so the two moldings aren't right on top of one another.
raise the windows up a few inches. unless the windows and doors are on the same wall, it should go un-noticed.
allowing for the height of the door slab, an airspace under it (5/8" or 3/4"), and the door jamb header thickness when doing the calculations, the door will be above the 6'8" mark. that is the slab length. I use 82 1/2" for door cripple height above floor.
I cut the cripples at 82.5, sit it on the bottom plate (1 1/2")and fill under the header with a piece of wall thickness material to allow for a trim nailer at the header. this allows for some height adjustment depending on the floor finish and makes it easier to set the strike side of the jamb when installing the door. Many ways to frame and hang doors.
If you are just framing the wall right now, have the window headers positioned up under the top plate and fill in the underside of the header once you determine how to handle the window openings.
not knowing what windows your using but if theyre Anderons, the window is 1 1/4" thick o all sides, in other words, the window opening has to be 1 1/2" higher than the door opening to have the window jamb and the door jamb align.
Hard to say without seeing it. You could have a wider sill, as wide out as the baseboard and forget about adding on the apron piece or 3/4 corner molding over the jambs or rock, corner bead and spackle, no molding or .. .
like I said, without seeing, its hard to say.

Take a look at this picture as you can see the area under the windows is framed to match the window trim and the baseboard terminates at the frame.

Here are some samples of what I am looking to do. I really wish I had closeups.
What's wrong with that? I've seen windows go very close to baseboard where only a tiny strip of paint separates the two.
I wouldn't think it's a problem, but you could always just reduce the base by .5" to increase the separation if you feel you must.
Or, increase the baseboard .5" so they meet.
Bingo, heyewe. The portion under the window can be trimmed to look like a raised panel.

Washington • Despite Democratic fears, predictions of the demise of President Barack Obama's agenda appear exaggerated after a week of cascading controversies, political triage by the administration and party leaders in Congress and lack of evidence to date of wrongdoing close to the Oval Office.
"Absolutely not," Steven Miller, the recently resigned acting head of the Internal Revenue Service, responded Friday when asked if he had any contact with the White House about targeting conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status for special treatment.
"The president's re-election campaign?" persisted Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif.
"No," said Miller.
The hearing took place at the end of a week in which Republicans repeatedly assailed Obama and were attacked by Democrats in turn yet sweeping immigration legislation advanced methodically toward bipartisan approval in the Senate Judiciary Committee. The measure "has strong support of its own in the Senate," said Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., a member of the panel.
Across the Capitol, a bipartisan House group reported agreement in principle toward a compromise on the issue, which looms as Obama's best chance for a signature second-term domestic achievement. "I continue to believe that the House needs to deal with this," said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who is not directly involved in the talks.
The president's nominee to become energy secretary, Ernest Moniz, won Senate confirmation 97-0. And there were signs that Republicans might allow confirmation of Sri Srinivasan to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, sometimes a stepping stone to the Supreme Court.
Separately, a House committee approved legislation to prevent a spike in interest rates on student loans on July 1. It moves in the direction of a White House-backed proposal for future rate changes to be based on private markets.
Even so, Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, said, "It's been a bad week for the administration."
Several Democratic lawmakers and aides agreed and expressed concern about the impact on Obama's agenda even though much of it has been stymied by Republicans for months already.
At the same time, Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., voiced optimism that the IRS controversy would boost the push for an overhaul of the tax code, rather than derail it. "It may make a case for a simpler tax code, where the IRS has less discretion," he said.
Even before Obama began grappling with the IRS, the fallout from last year's deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, and from the Justice Department's secret seizure of Associated Press phone records, the two parties were at odds over steps to replace $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California offered a scathing response when asked if the controversies would hamper Obama's ability to win legislation from the Republican-controlled House. "Well, the last two years there was nothing that went through this Congress, and it was no AP, IRS or any other [thing] that we were dealing with."
"They just want to do nothing. And their timetable is never," she said of GOP lawmakers.

I am in North Seattle and have also had difficulty establishing a support network here. My biggest problem is that the mama's I meet are soooo sweet, but it's hard for me to relate due to being a young college student/nanny, and struggling with money and trying to figure out who I really am and what I want to do with my life...we parent similarly but we don't have a lot in common otherwise...just in very different places, you know?
((hugs)) Hope you find a great group soon!!
Single mama to S ~ 6/09
I blog about our life with food allergies and eosinophilic disorders.
I am too on the Eastside and looking for Crunchy people! and have not found them. We are in Woodinville, and I can find them in the city but not in more outlying areas. Contact me if you are still searching.
Have you tried La Leche League meetings? I found a lot of natural living/ homebirthing/AP people there. How old are your kids?
Yes, how old are your children?
I have an 11 week old and have really been wanting to meet some crunchy mamas. We joined a PEPS group but were asked to leave 'cos we don't vax. I love having online support but it's no face to face, ya know?
Birth and Beyond is great, though. We just took an EC class there this morning and met three lovely families we hope to hang out with.
I want to meet more mamas locally! I nannied for a long time and always had an easy time making nanny friends, I don't know why I'm having such a hard time as a mommy. Of course, my baby is still new and still has a rather unpredictable schedule during the day and usually goes to bed by 6 and I feel guilty going out for dinner and not having him in bed where he'd prefer to be.
Anyway! Hi, I'm Lauren and my husband, son and I live in north Seattle. :)
Oh and I just realized this post is from 2010. lol
Ya, I don't think I've ever seen that downtown, either. If you visited any parks outside of downtown, you'd be more likely to see it! I wear my guy a lot when we go on outings.
I'm still hoping someone will see this and want to be my friend! ;)
I think that's a downtown thing. I live here and see as many baby carriers as strollers. :)

Just joined Mothering! I recently moved from West Seattle to Woodinville and am looking for some fellow crunchies here as well :) I can tell you that West Seattle is full of them (many baby wearers, no or delayed vaxxers, etc) but thus far, not finding too many that I relate to on the Eastside. If anyone wants a meet up, let me know--think that would be great! Have a toddler and another on the way soon...
There's the Eastside Attachment Parenting group on Meetup.com!
I am pretty crunchy ;) and on the Eastside as well- would love to get together! I have a 15 month old daughter.
I should have mentioned this before, but the most wonderful AP village I have found is in Seattle:

Either way I'd love to meet other like-minded families. I have an almost- 18 -month-old and planning a homebirth with Bebe #2 due in February.

The Sony SmartWatch 2 has been eclipsed by Android Wear-toting rivals like the LG G Watch and Motorola Moto 360 since launch, but now comes word Sony is ready to hit back with a new model.
A source tells Digi-Wo that the Sony SmartWatch 3 will launch at IFA in just three weeks' time. But rather than adopting Google's Android Wear OS – which is optimised for wearable gadgets – the device is said to run its own operating system.
Specs are a bit thin on the ground at this stage, but the Sony SmartWatch 3 is rumoured to have a built-in Wi-Fi module, so you can use it online without having to pair it with your smartphone. Of course its functionality is likely to be limited without a smartphone, but Wi-Fi is a neat addition nonetheless.
Those hoping it'll echo the circular styling of the Moto 360 will be disappointed. Instead, the Sony SmartWatch 3 is said to have the same design language as its predecessor, with a square face. But it won't be without improvements – the screen will still be transflective, but will have a higher resolution.
So what else can we expect from Sony's next timepiece? The source claims it'll have wireless charging too, just like the Nokia Lumia 920. That means instead of plugging it in to juice it up, you just place it on the charging plate.
It's also rumoured to be dust- and water-proof, which is always handy.
All of which certainly sounds intriguing. Can it take on the might of the Moto 360 and LG G Watch? We'll be on hand to bring you all the IFA news as it breaks.

Australian Gay Porn Videos: the National Identity of Despised Cultural Objects
McKee, Alan (1999) Australian Gay Porn Videos: the National Identity of Despised Cultural Objects. The International Journal of Cultural Studies, 2(2), pp. 178-198.
|PDF (114kB)
Debates about the local and the global continue to be prominent in cultural studies. By taking an example of Australian gay porn videos, which in some ways are convincingly 'local', the paper suggests that previous attempts to define 'the local' - in terms either of textual features or provenance of production - are problematic. It proposes instead the idea of 'persuasiveness' as a way of accounting for 'localness' which does not rely on implications of authenticity.

Post subject: Draft FanAddict's 2-Rounder w/REALISTIC trades
I have two trades in this mock that make a lot of sense for all the teams involved AND give value for the picks the teams take. They also use actual DRAFT VALUE CHARTS that some mockers totally ignore.
1) The Jets trade the #4 pick and seventh-rounder to Devner for their #15 and #22. This gives Denver the most value for their two high picks and allows them to fill their biggest need: a pass-rushing DE. Mario Williams is an amazing prospect and could make Denver a Super Bowl contender. Look for Denver to chase a WR in round 2 or 3. Meanwhile, the Jets need quantity more than anything (even a quarterback) and can come out of the first two rounds with 4 holes filled.
2) The Lions trade the #9 pick to Minnesota for the #17 and the Vikes 2nd pick in round two, plus a seventh-rounder. Minnesota will need to trade-up to nine to be sure they get the quarterback they covet. The Cardinals, at pick 10 and with Denny Green in charge, could very well be after one of the top three QBs and the Ravens and Jets may chase one as well. At seventeen and with an extra pick in round two, the Vikes get their best value by moving up to nine. Moving up any lower than 9 puts their chances of getting the QB they want in jeopardy. The Lions, meanwhile, have a new coach that wants to clean out some of the filth in the organization, and needs picks to do it.
FEEDBACK PLEASE - Who do you want if not the guy I picked?
1. Houston Texans - Reggie Bush, RB, USC. Reggie Bush cemented his spot here with a spectacular pro-day over the weekend.
2. New Orleans Saints D'Brickashaw Ferguson, OT, Virginia. The Saints get a franchise LT. Wayne Gandy is overpaid, over-aged, and in decline. DBrick is the long-term and short-term solution.
3. Tennessee Titans Matt Leinart, QB, USC. Norm Chow wasnt shy about his opinion at the USC pro day, and will push hard for Leinart, who will fall to the Titans at #3.
4. Denver Broncos Mario Williams, DE, N.C. State. The Broncos are immediate contenders if this guy stays healthy.
5. Green Bay Packers A.J. Hawk, LB, Ohio State. The Packers want Hawk, and theyll get him if the Broncos trade-up.
6. San Francisco 49ers Vernon Davis, TE, Maryland. Eric Johnson is injury-prone, and the Niners need a playmaker.
7. Oakland Raiders Vince Young, QB, Texas. Al Davis will take this phenom.
8. Buffalo Bills Michael Huff, S, Texas. The Bills are glad Huff falls to them so they dont have to reach for Bunkley.
9. Minnesota Vikings Jay Cutler, QB, Vanderbilt. The Vikes get a player who, over time, will be a great QB.
10. Arizona Cardinals Jimmy Williams, DB, Virginia Tech. The Cards add another playmaker and are looking downright scary on paper.
11. St. Loius Rams Haloti Ngata, DT, Oregon. The best DT in the draft is still there at 11 and the Rams take him.
12. Cleveland Browns Brodrick Bunkley, DT, Florida State. The Cleveland front seven completes its off-season transformation from laughable to great.
13. Baltimore Ravens Winston Justice, OT, USC. After an amazing pro day, Justice has distinguished himself as the #2 OT and may not last this long.
14. Philadelphia Eagles Chad Greenway, LB, Iowa. The Eagles get a solid SLB. Even though some consider him a bit of a reach at 14 after his workouts, his play speaks for itself.
15. New York Jets DeAngelo Williams, RB, Memphis. The Jets have bigger needs, but the value for the pick is undeniable. DeAngelo will see some time in 06 and will be in the pro-bowl by 08.
16. Miami Dolphins Tye Hill, CB, Clemson. The best pure cover corner in the draft.
17. Detroit Lions Tamba Hali, DE, Penn State. Marinellis type of player: hard-working and productive.
18. Dallas Cowboys Manny Lawson, DE/LB, N.C. State. The Cowboys are elated to have Manny fall to them.
19. San Diego Chargers Marcus McNeill, OT, Auburn. Rivers needs another target, but its hard to throw when youre being flattened by the opposing defense.
20. Kansas City Chiefs Chad Jackson, WR, Florida. In desperate need of a decent wideout, the Chiefs get the player who helped himself most at the combine.
21. New England Patriots Bobby Carpenter, LB, Ohio State. A smart, versatile player who fits Belichicks scheme.
22. New York Jets Eric Winston, OT, Miami (FL). The Jets get needed O-Line help.
23. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Santonio Holmes, WR, Ohio State. Too good to pass on at 23.
24. Cincinnati Bengals Leonard Pope, TE, Georgia. The Bengals offense continues to improve with this huge (6-7) pass-catching tight end.
25. New York Giants Ernie Sims, LB, Florida State. The Giants get what they need at 25 with the ultra-fast, ultra-aggressive Sims.
26. Chicago Bears Antonio Cromartie, CB, Florida State. If healthy, should be a shutdown corner.
27. Carolina Panthers DeMeco Ryans, LB, Alabama. The Panthers fill a hole with a great LB.
28. Jacksonville Jaguars Thomas Howard, LB, UTEP. The Jags like this guy. They could also grab Marcedes Lewis, but they can get a good TE in round 2.
29. New York Jets Nick Mangold, C, Ohio State. The Jets get their new pro-bowl center.
30. Indianapolis Colts Laurence Maroney, RB, Minnesota. Has moved-up because LenDale is overweight and has not worked-out for anyone.
31. Seattle Seahawks Mathias Kiwanuka, DE, Boston College. Kiwi falls to the end of round one, and the Hawks are wise to take him.
32. Pittsburgh Steelers LenDale White, RB, USC. After his pathetic appearance at USCs pro-day, LenDale needs to post a good 40 time before the draft to get back ahead of Maroney.
33. Houston Texans Jonathan Scott, OT, Texas. Can he keep Carr upright?
34. New Orleans Saints DQwell Jackson, LB, Maryland. Its DQ or Hodge here.
35. New York Jets Kamerion Wimbley, DE/OLB, Florida State. Add pass-rusher to new O-Line.
36. Green Bay Packers Ashton Youboty, CB, Ohio State. Great value at position of need.
37. San Francisco 49ers Ko Simpson, S, South Carolina. Helps makeover sorry 05 secondary.
38. Oakland Raiders Max Jean-Giles, OG, Georgia. Will start for Raiders.
39. Tennessee Titans Abdul Hodge, LB, Iowa. Thornton and Hodge revive defense.
40. Buffalo Bills Rodrique Wright, DT, Texas. Passed on Ngata, now they get Wright.
41. Detroit Lions Deuce Latui, OG, USC. Will start at LG.
42. Arizona Cardinals Andrew Whitworth, OT, LSU. VYs future bodyguard.
43. St. Louis Rams Donte Whitner, S, Ohio State. Good value, fills need.
44. Cleveland Browns Davin Joseph, OG, Oklahoma. Small Frye will be happy.
45. Baltimore Ravens Darnell Bing, S, USC. Coming over the middle vs. Reed/Bing = ouch.
46. Philadelphia Eagles Sinorice Moss, WR, Miami (FL). Wouldnt have gone after Moulds if they didnt need more help here.
47. Atlanta Falcons Jonathan Joseph, CB, South Carolina. Two young, talented CBs in ATL now.
48. Minnesota Vikings Maurice Stovall, WR, Notre Dame. Stovall fits Childress' scheme and fills the Burleson hole.
49. Dallas Cowboys Gabe Watson, DT, Michigan. Parcells Planet Theory dictates this pick.
50. San Diego Chargers Kelly Jennings, CB, Miami (FL). Solid value at position of need.
51. Detroit Lions Jason Allen, DB, Tennessee. Starting FS in 06.
52. Kansas City Chiefs Alan Zemaitis, CB, Penn State. Underrated prospect could be great.
53. New England Patriots Richard Marshall, CB, Fresno State. Can cover and tackle.
54. Washington Redskins Rocky McIntosh, LB, Miami (FL). Only position Snyder didnt buy this off-season.
55. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Ryan OCallaghan, OT, Cal. Upgrade to miserable line.
56. Cincinnati Bengals Darryl Tapp, DE, Virginia Tech. Solid overall DE, great value.
57. New York Giants Joseph Addai, RB, LSU. After Tiki, who carries the torch?
58. Chicago Bears Marcedes Lewis, TE, UCLA. All the other teams wanting TEs are below the Bears.
59. Carolina Panthers Dominique Byrd, TE, USC. Like the Panthers.
60. Jacksonville Jaguars Anthony Fasano, TE, Notre Dame. And the Jags.
61. Denver Broncos Daniel Bullocks, S, Nebraska. Help for aging secondary.
62. Indianapolis Colts Claude Wroten, DT, LSU. The Colts are lucky again when a premier player at a position of need is still on the board.
63. Seattle Seahawks Dee Webb, CB, Florida. You need CBs in this division, and Webb is underrated.
64. Pittsburgh Steelers Jason Avant, WR, Michigan. Hard-worker, great value pick.
True fans are the most miserable when their team is losing.
They are also the most loyal.

1. The one knock on him IS that he ISN'T aggressive enough and needs to develop a mean streak.
2. If Darnell Bing is available in round 2 when the raiders are on the clock they'll take him.
good mock other wise. trades seem realistic but i'm not sure they'll go down.

The Steelers would pick up Donte Whitner before they pick up LenDale. I love LenDale don't get me wrong but with his recent excuses to do work outs and his pathetic bench press he isn't the type of player the Steelers would take. Donte though is a great safety that could easily challenge for the starting job from the first practice. And yes I know they just signed a veteran at Safety but he isn't a long term solution Whitner could be not to mention his stock has soared recently.

The Packers will NOT draft Sinorice Moss. Mike McCarthy only likes tall recievers. Donald Driver is the shortest and smallest and he's 6'1. The Broncos don't have the cap room for a top five pick.

I think LenDale will redeem himself before the draft. There's still four weeks to go, and after this weekend, he'll kick himself into gear (or his agent will). I like Whitner for the Steelers too, and Sinorice Moss. LenDale is just one idea, and you're right, it won't happen if he doesn't turn it around a bit. But don't forget that a lot of scouts had him as top ten talent a couple months ago.

I cannot see the Ravens passing on Watson in round 2 although Bing is a good pick
