A recent study found that people may actually perform below their abilities when they believe their hair is not up to snuff.
Whether you're fighting with frizz, trying to pump up limp locks, or doing battle with the weather, having a hair meltdown may affect more than just your appearance.
"Bad hair" can have profound effects on your mental well-being, causing both women and men to lose self-esteem, become more socially insecure and even doubt their own abilities, researchers at Yale University found in one study.
The study, commissioned by Procter & Gamble, found that people may actually perform below their abilities when they believe their hair is not up to snuff. The researchers reported that even the thought of a bad hair day made women and men believe they weren't as smart as others.
Socially, women reported feeling embarrassed, ashamed and self-conscious during bad hair days while men said they felt more nervous and less self-confident.
"There is a strong correlation between what we see in the mirror and how we feel about ourselves," says Amy L. Flowers, Ph.D., a psychologist with expertise in self-esteem and body image and with a practice in Macon, Ga. "Thomas Cash, a famous researcher in body image, states that up to 25 percent of our self-esteem is determined by how we feel about our bodies - you can't hate the way you look and still love yourself. Also, we assume that others see us the way we see ourselves, so if we don't like a particular feature (like our hair), we assume that others find it repulsive, too."
But, of course, that's not always the case.
Thankfully, most women report being generally happy with the results of their hair care routine. A 2010 survey conducted by ShopSmart, a magazine from the publishers of Consumer Reports, found that 19 percent of respondents said they "love" their hair and 41 percent said they "like" it.
But 44 percent of respondents said their mood has been negatively affected by a bad hair day, and 26 percent said they actually were moved to tears after a botched haircut. The reaction is understandable, says Flowers.
"We put importance on our hair and face because these are features that cannot be hidden; they are the first things we notice about people," Flowers said.
To avoid a bad hair day, women are ready to dip pretty deep into their pockets. The ShopSmart poll found that, on average, women pay $39 for a haircut. Also, 53 percent of women reported regularly coloring their hair. If it's done at a salon, women shell out an average $65 for color.

MetroHealth to build health center in Brecksville/Broadview Heights
(Brecksville) – The MetroHealth System signed a development agreement to build a new health center at the intersection of Route 82 and I-77.
The health center will address the needs of the surrounding communities. The health center will offer a comprehensive outpatient facility, similar to the newly-opened Middleburg Heights center, and may include a free-standing emergency room, advanced diagnostics (CT & MRI,) wellness center and ambulatory surgery center.
The development agreement states MetroHealth will purchase approximately 21 acres of property, at the price of $3.5M. The city of Brecksville has agreed to pay MetroHealth an incentive amount of $2.25M towards the purchase. The property is primarily located in the city of Brecksville.
Both the City of Brecksville and the City of Broadview Heights have collaborated extensively to make the proposed center a reality. Because the property lies in both cities, Mayor Samuel J. Alai of Broadview Heights and Mayor Jerry N. Hruby of Brecksville, along with their respective city councils, agreed on a tax share agreement, allowing both cities to benefit from any potential income taxes from development of the site.
"We are thrilled to announce this partnership. We see this as another important step to serve more residents of Cuyahoga County, our home," said Akram Boutros, MD, FACHE, President and CEO of MetroHealth. "Our expanded ambulatory network helps us provide greater access for patients, and catalyze the transformation from acute care to comprehensive care. It is clear with the extraordinary success of the Middleburg Heights November Family Health Center, which opened in July 2013, that there's significant demand for our patient-centered, high-value approach to care."
"Today's signing of an agreement with MetroHealth is the beginning of what I know will be a great relationship between an outstanding health system and our community, the community of Broadview Heights and those communities surrounding our area," said Hruby. "We look forward to bringing outstanding healthcare, emergency services, and the other amenities that will be provided by MetroHealth- giving us a much-needed group of services."
"A project of this magnitude belongs in a high visibility area at the interstate and will be central to both communities, reducing response times for life saving emergency care," said Alai. "This state of the art regional facility is the product of multiple public and private entities working together. It has been a pleasure working with Mayor Hruby and sharing the vision of wellness for our communities."
MetroHealth currently is solidifying the programs and timeline for the opening of the health center. Announcements of additional services will be made when more information is available.

"We are excited to welcome David to the Penn family," said Bilsky. "When you take a look at his resume, what jumps out at you is the success he has had at every one of his stops. With a new tennis facility opening up later this summer, we feel like we are uniquely positioned for success within the Ivy League, the region, and nationally. David is the perfect person to help the men's tennis program meet those expectations."
"I am excited for the opportunity to be the head coach at Penn," said Geatz. "With the new facility coming in, I really feel like there is unlimited potential for this program. I am looking forward to getting in on the ground level and working toward bringing the Ivy League trophy back to Philadelphia."
Geatz (pronounced like "gets") has had a long and varied coaching career, but what cannot be dismissed is his success within the collegiate ranks. Most recently, he spent two years at Cornell, the first (2008-09) as head coach of men's tennis and the second (2009-10) as head coach of both the men's and women's tennis programs. Geatz's impact on the men's program was immediate and obvious -- a perennial second-division program, the Big Red men finished sixth in the Ivy League in 2008, before his arrival. In his first year, however, Cornell went 5-2 in the Ancient Eight to finish second in the standings, behind Columbia. The Big Red then repeated the feat in 2010. Those second-place finishes marked the program's best EITA/Ivy finishes until this past spring, when Cornell won the Ivy title for the first time. Though heavily bearing his stamp, the Big Red's title run came without him at the helm -- Geatz left Cornell following the 2010 spring season. He is currently the Director of Tennis at the Greenwich (Conn.) Country Club.
For 18 years, from 1988-2006, Geatz was the head coach of men's tennis at the University of Minnesota. During his tenure, the Golden Gophers won five Big Ten championships and put together a 45-match win streak in conference play (including four undefeated regular-season campaigns). Geatz was a three-time Big Ten Coach of the Year and also earned NCAA Regional Coach of the Year honors once. His teams had a streak of 12 straight NCAA Championship appearances, and he led the program to a No. 10 national ranking which was its highest ever. Individually, Geatz coached Harsh Mankad to the No. 1 position nationally in singles.
In between his Minnesota and Cornell stints, Geatz spent one year as the Director of Tennis at the prestigious Hong Kong Country Club. He returned to the States for the 2007-08 collegiate season to serve as associate head coach of Ohio State men's tennis, helping the Buckeyes to a 35-2 record, a No. 2 national ranking, and the Big Ten title. OSU advanced to the NCAA quarterfinal round that year, and finished the season ranked third in the national poll.
Geatz first college job was head coach of men's tennis at his alma mater, the University of New Mexico, from 1983-88, during which he led the Lobos to a top-20 national ranking and earned Western Athletic Conference and NCAA regional coach of the year honors.
Certified by the United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA), Geatz graduated from the University of New Mexico in 1981 with a bachelor's degree in University Studies. He also holds a Master's and a Ph.D. in Sports Administration from UNM, earning those in 1985 and 1991, respectively.

What Is Gingivitis and What Causes It?
Posted: April 9, 2009
[caption id="attachment_142" align="aligncenter" width="391" caption="What causes gingivitis, and how can it be treated?"][/caption] Gingivitis is a non-serious form of gum disease meaning it is mild, but it can lead to a much more serious periodontal disease. It can cause gum swelling, but in many causes there might not even be any symptoms, which is dangerous in itself. Inflammation and infection caused by gingivitis can destroy mouth tissues that support the teeth. If slight gingivitis problems are not treated properly, they an turn into more damaging types of periodontal diseases. The main cause of gingivitis is not practicing proper oral hygiene. If you do not brush and floss regularly, plaque can build up. Plaque is made up of food deposits, bacteria, mucus and other things that can build up on the visible parts of your teeth. Tartar is the result of plaque buildup, and gingivitis can be caused when the gums are irritated and inflamed enough from the tartar and plaque. More causes of gingivitis include possibly brushing your teeth too roughly, or using a toothbrush that is not soft enough. Various lifestyle factors can increase your risk for gingivitis, including general illness, poor dental hygiene (as aforementioned), and hormonal changes caused by uncontrolled diabetes, pregnancy, or menopause. Some gingivitis symptoms are: red or swollen gums, gums bleeding during toothbrushing, chronic bad tastes in mouth, and halitosis (bad breath). When gingivitis proceeds to worsen, symptoms may include receding gums, nerve root exposure and sensitivity, and teeth may become loose or fall out. The symptoms of advanced-stage gingivitis can lead to or indicate periodontitis. In order to stop gingivitis from progressing, it is very important to get the proper dental care. The available treatments for gingivitis require effort from the affected person. A dentist will likely prescribe a treatment plan like the following: 1) prescription of an antibacterial mouthwash, 2) strict oral hygiene regimen, 3) proper brushing of teeth, 4) daily flossing, and 5) regulary dental cleanings by a professional. In extreme cases, gingivitis could even require oral surgery in order to get rid of it. However, it is not too hard to avoid the problem if you take proper care of your teeth and gums and know what warning signs to watch for.

Brought to you by…
We'd like to take this opportunity to thank some fantastic folk, those who believe in what we do. We have yet to formally solicit a single sponsorship, yet these few have already stepped up to the plate and said, "I want to help make this happen." And that's awesome.
We want you to know that we will not accept money from just anyone. We joke about not being sponsored by the Pork Board, but it's true. When we started researching blog conferences (ones that some of you participate in), we were surprised and grossed out by some of the sponsors. As much as we want this first year to be fantastic and to not hear those bitter words, "Well, it's their first year," we will do our best to not compromise ourselves, to keep our list relevant to you. Keep an eye on our Sponsors page—whether you're a registrant or aspiring sponsor. We'll keep updating it with links!
We think this first group sets the stage pretty well. Ladies and gentlemen, our first sponsors:
Fleming Ink, publisher of Hannah Kaminsky's books and Go Dairy Free
Vegan Backpacker, your source for vegan adventure
Lion's Share Industries, maker of gorgeous and responsible t-shirts
T.O.F.U. Magazine, spreading the good word—new issue just around the corner, so stay tuned!
And we don't have a logo for them yet, but More Than Salad has just signed on. This is a rapidly growing database of veg-friendly cuisine around the world. If you're at the conference, stop by their table.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Friendly staff Certainly not a four star hotel re food, very disappointing. As it was a very special anniversary occasion for us they did not comply with any of the wishes we asked for on your booking form, ie nice room with balcony sea view, got room at the back overlooking car park were told if we wanted to move room we would have to pay extra!! Probably booking direct better deal!
Good value holiday hotel. Food plentiful and a good selection. Room clean and large we stayed in the superior room and the balcony was very large with two sunbeds and a table and chairs with an excellent view of the sea. The main bar in the hotel never opened during our 4 day stay and the restaurant staff were surly.
Staff, facilities, location, selection of foods air-c not good, some parking but not much, but also not too much of a problem, food: could improve cereals(bfast) and in evenings(dinner) bread is hard.
Views of the bay and the beach. Could eat outside on the balcony for breakfast and dinner. It would be good if one could book a room facing south in the winter to get evening sunshine.
Good food, comfortable room, seaside location, well located for hiking trips across the island, nice free services (e.g. free fruit) Air conditioning was not working well, nightlife could be improved
Good room size and excellent bathroom.Spacious balcony.Plenty of tables in the dining rooms. Good reception area and helpfull staff. Buffet food only fair.Too much choice at breakfast and in the evenings.
Convenient location near beach with easy access and car parking. Friendly staff and international feel with good buffet-style food covering all possible tastes. Even I liked the food and wine list on offer.
Hotel staff very excellent and good value for money
`Nice and good food. The breakfast buffet was excellent.
Excellent food and very good price quality. Very good location to visit the island and go on mountain hiking trips. Excellent pools, the heated one is not to small and at a high enough temparature (26C). Even the non heated pool was at 22C (first week of November). Very close to the airport but no disturbance from noise. No "animation", for kids nor adults.
'Cause my flight was quite early in the morning, I asked for the picnic breakfast. There were many fruits, tasty sandwiches, water, ... It was very good.
Easy from airport to hotel and into Santa Cruz
While it was classified as a four star hotel, it was actually a two star hotel. It was okay, but nothing special. One had to pay 18 euro in order to have a key to the mini bar.
The apartments are quite nice with good seaviews. Standard is OK and nice and clean. We made the mistake of having half board. The evening buffet was truly horrific. Cold and tatesless food with very very poor quality.
very good value for money. Although near the airport there was little aircraft noise...and only during occassional times during the day. Perhaps the surrounding area
location; nice and clean area; polution clean station; over the night noise from engine house /swiming pool/;litlle ants everywhere;
The location is superb...especially if you have a balcony or terrace...the grounds are pleasant and kept well. It is unfortuate there was a storm whilst we were there...the pool furniture should have been located somewhere safely..instead the wind blew them everywhere.The hotel needs a little TLC...things like no soap in dispensers...electric fittings not working...doors on the electric meters hanging off
The size of the apartment was excellent. The swimming pools were very well maintained. Great location right by the sea. Fantastic views. Breakfast buffet had quite a good variety of foods. The bed in the apartment was two prince-sized singles pushed together with separate bedding.
The location an layout of the hotel was first class. The hotel was understaffed resulting in occasional bruskness. Thebreakfast food was poor
20 minute walk to beach, expect spanish food.
It was close to the Ocean, the lot of Plants around the aparthotel, the food was good and there was plenty of choices. The water in the pool was a bit cold (october). The drink was not included in the dinner.
Spacious, clean, good facilities in kitchen and bathroom The twin beds slipped apart which means that a couple cannot sleep together unless they want to squeeze into a single. It would be better if there was a system to secure the beds together when wanted. It was a shame that the satellite tv only had 2 english channels which were sport and cnn news as opposed to around 9 German channels. The addition of the Discovery Channel for example would improve the viewing options considerably for all English speakers, no matter what the nationality. We noticed that some of the rooms had a lot of stairs up to them and most guests would find this a nuisance I think.
Very good location, close to the Capital Santa Cruz .The hotel is quiet very comfortable and the staff are friendly and competent.I would highly recommend this hotel
The breakfast is very good, the staff of the bar is really kind and the room is very comfortable. The room price is value. Some noise from the room on top.
Large rooms, nice garden. Location: splendid view and very near from the airport (10 minutes from it!). Room noisy (sonic insulation is not good). Sometimes the staff at the front desk does not speak english at all (surprising for such a hotel).
This hotel is outstanding: views of the sea, a landscaped garden, polite and helpful staff - if you like a few days of calm and quiet, this is your place.
Quiet, balcony, views, gardens, location, ease of access.
The room, the view from the room, the location, the views, the breakfast, the dinner, the garden, the facilites like sauna, the free delicious sugar. The internet did not work, the staff was not speaks english so they do not understand some problems or questions.
The food in the main restaurant was very good but fairly expensive. The wines were good value. Lack of suitable lunchtime menu (Parador in La Gomera is better for this).
Elegant, smart and relaxing The swimming pool was unheated
Location, orientation, link to other H10 hotel Bedroom size, language skills, average age
Very good meal (****), good viewpoints.
Spacious , clean rooms Road and people noise
Peaceful and quite Very ambiguous as to where the dinners and breakfasts were being served
Good price, placed near Santa Cruz and the airport, nice beach. Maybe some more details in the bathroom and some furniture in the kitchen.

Listen to Dierks Bentley on iHeartRadio
Dierks Bentley is giving his fans more insight into his upcoming album. The country star has described Riser as very personal, and he's now shedding more light on the project with the documentary "Dierks Bentley: Riser."
In the trailer for the film on People.com, the singer explains that his goal with "Riser" is to give fans a "deeper look" at him as a person.
Dierks adds that the movie is very real. He admits he "actually got physically uncomfortable" watching the rough edit, because "it's all in there." The movie covers Bentley's life over the past two years, as he mourned the death of his father, celebrated the birth of his son, went on the road, and worked on Riser.
"Dierks Bentley: Riser" will have its broadcast premiere on Palladia on February 22nd at 9:00 p.m. Eastern. That same day CMT will present a special preview edit of the film 2:00 p.m. Eastern.
Bentley's album Riser will arrive in stores on February 25th.

What do these two lines mean??
font: [B]100%/1.3[/B] arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font: bold [B]14px/16px[/B] arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font: bold 14px/16px arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
means:font-size: 14px;line-height: 16px;
note: some mail clients do NOT support this.
font: 100%/1.3
font-size: 100% (of base font wherever that must be set?!)line-height: 1.3 times the font-size
Is that correct????
Also, what exactly is the difference between line-height and using padding??
And in the first example, it's a font size of 100% and a line height of 1.3em
font-size: 100% (of base font wherever that must be set?!)
actually, it means 100% of the parent element's font size... so be careful if you have nested styles.
body { font-size:32px} /*ridiculously large for ease of math later on*/body > div { font: 100%/1.3 arial, helvetica, sans-serif;}.first { font: 75%/1.3 arial, helvetica, sans-serif;}.second{ font: 50%/1.3 arial, helvetica, sans-serif;}.second p{ font: 50%/1.3 arial, helvetica, sans-serif;}
this text is 32 px, as you expect.
 this text is STILL 32 px, as you expect.
 this text is 24px, as you still expect.
this text... is 12px.. wait you didnt expect that did you
 this text is 6px, were you expectin that?!?

another class='second' but this time the text is 16px

So math has to be applied.
line-height and padding don't alter each other. think of line height as the rules on notebook paper. the space between the lines of text will vary in relation to the size of your line height. ... 1.0 = "college ruled", 2.0 ="regular" 3.0="pre-school"...
the size of the line hight is PROPORTION to the size of the text. so line-height:2 is a space TWICE of what is set in font-size. another thing this allows you to do is set WHERE in the line the text sits. Using the notebook analogy again . if you have pre-school line-height (3.0) for example.. you could write directly on the line, just bellow the top of the previous line or center it. for this you use: vertical-align: [top, middle, bottom, baseline...and so forth]
hope this rant has been enlightening for you.
Why did the results come out as you describe above?
Yes, thanks.
1.3 and 1.3 em are not the same things (but I guess you knew that)
Although initially they have the same effect the 1.3 is a multiplier that is inherited into child elements. On the other hand 1.3em produces a computed line height that is applied to the child elements irrespective of the childrens font-size.
If you had a smaller font in a nested element then then the unitless 1.3 line-height would ensure that the line-height maintains the correct proportion to that font-size. Whereas 1.3em on the parent produces a set line height that even the children will inherit.
Unitless line heights.
A nice graphic explanation, my favourites
So there IS a difference? That might explain why I've found omitting the metric to be a completely useless train-wreck cross browser despite everyone else's wild claims that you can omit it.
Though my rule of thumb remains state your metric -- it's only two characters, and ALWAYS restate your line-height if you change font-size... and NEVER trust the default line-height.
Yes the scaling factor is passed to the child and not the computed line-height.
That might explain why I've found omitting the metric to be a completely useless train-wreck cross browser despite everyone else's wild claims that you can omit it.
It depends how you work I suppose. If you take care with the line-height (as you do) then it doesn't matter what you use.
The unitless line height was meant to maintain the relationship between nested font sizes and the line-height. If for example a div has a font-size of 24px and a line-height of 2em the a nested elements will all have a line height of 48px (even nested elements with very small font sizes will have a line height of 48px).
On the other hand a unitless line passes down the scaling factor so that smaller nested font-sizes get smaller line-height to maintain the relationship.

Rose-colored glasses: FOX's Goler echoed Bush's own anti-Kerry message
Research ››› ››› JEREMY CLUCHEY
President George W. Bush ended a joint press conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi by calling on FOX News Channel White House correspondent Wendell Goler. While other reporters had challenged Bush on his Iraq policy, Goler's question echoed the president's anti-Kerry campaign message from the previous day.
At a September 22 Bush-Cheney '04 rally in Philadelphia, Bush accused Senator John Kerry of "demoralizing Iraqis and U.S. troops by sending 'mixed signals' about the war in Iraq," The Washington Post reported. During the September 23 Rose Garden press conference, Goler asked Bush if he thought "the mixed messages you say John Kerry sends ... have a negative effect on the effort in Iraq?"
From the press conference:
GOLER: Thank you, sir. Mr. President, in the past couple of days you have been talking about the consequences of the mixed messages you say John Kerry sends. I want to ask you, sir, do you mean immediate consequences, not just if the senator is elected? Do you mean that the messages being sent now have a negative effect on the effort in Iraq? And does making the war in Iraq a part of a campaign also have consequences on the situation there, sir?
Goler's question stood in stark contrast to questions from other broadcast journalists, each of whom challenged the president on his Iraq policy and the discrepancy between the administration's positive assertions about the war effort and recent reports contradicting that view. CBS News chief White House correspondent John Roberts asked Bush if he was "understating the case" by claiming there were only "a handful of people who were willing to kill to try to disrupt the process"; ABC News White House correspondent Terry Moran asked if "the real voices of the Iraqi people themselves contradict the rosy scenarios you're painting here today"; and NBC News White House correspondent David Gregory asked: "[T]here are beheadings regularly, the insurgent violence continues, and there are no weapons of mass destruction. My question is: Can you understand that Americans may not believe you when you say that America is actually safer today?"

Hagel: Syria used sarin gas against rebels
(Abu Dhabi) -- Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says the U.S. intelligence community believes the Syrian government used chemical weapons against rebels in that country. During an overseas trip, Hagel said it's believed the Syrian government used sarin gas on a small scale. Sarin is a type of nerve gas that can kill in about a minute. The White House said the intelligence isn't absolutely confirmed yet, and more information is needed to determine the facts.
Hagel said the intelligence community will need to find out whether sarin was used and the circumstances of that use. Senator John McCain, who has long pushed for action against the Syrian government, said he thinks it's clear the red line has been crossed. Syria has been fighting with rebels since mid 2011. The fighting is considered a part of the Arab Spring that led to revolutions in Egypt, Libya and other countries.

Thread: Obligatory Fire Cam Thread
Re: Obligatory Fire Cam Thread
For those calling for a run, Rice only had 40 yds running the ball, 20 in each half. The
o-line wasn't blocking for him. Rice had more yds receiving with 53.
I'll question 3d and long there since Joe isn't that reliable but us old timers remember
Johnny U running that play all the time with everyone expecting the run but he throws
deep. Joe just isn't as good there obviously.
With Rice's 53 yds passing on short routes, maybe a short dump or swing pass but no
way CAm is running the ball with no blocking for him. Blame the o-line, not Cam.
CAM won and on the road in enemy territory and put Piss back another game. That's all that matters.

Thank U for the respect.

CAM has beaten his offense 6 times.
That's the way it is. Dig this.

Re: Obligatory Fire Cam Thread
You know, calling a pass on 3rd and 2 when the clock was winding down wasn't the worst call in the world. I don't agree with it because you basically are going to stop the clock or get your QB hit. Both of which, in that situation, are never great options.
After thinking about it, the reason why I'm not too down on Cam for calling a pass there is because Rice really wasn't having much success running the ball. This OL has some issues with opening up holes on short yardage situations. Casey Hampton pretty much owns Matt Birk.
(As a caveat though...wasn't that the purpose of drafting a 230lb running back in the 3rd round?)
The issue I have with the pass play that was called is you have Ed Dickson and Jacoby Jones running the exact same route on the same side of the field. Who in their right mind looks at two 9 routes on the same side of the field with about 10 yards of separation (width-wise) between them and goes: "That will work!"
Plays like that are why guys like Greg Cossell shake their head at Cam Cameron because you've made it easier for the defense to defend the play. Even with 1-on-1 coverage on that side of the field, technically it could be classified as double coverage. As soon as the ball is in the air the defender who is on the guy that is obviously NOT getting the ball (based on the trajectory) is going to break off and jump the route (that just so happens to be right beside him) and thereby increasing the odds for a turnover or incomplete pass.
Furthermore, I think a much more egregious call was when it was about 3rd and 15 and they ran a quick WR screen to Jacoby. Why in the world would you run a passing play on 3rd and long that is designed to get the ball to the receiver BEHIND the line of scrimmage is beyond me. I must be an idiot. Because that shit doesn't compute for me.
Last, but not least, Ike Taylor (for a large portion of the game) was lining up 8-12 yards off when covering Torrey Smith. Did no one think to run a quick screen to Torrey? It may not have gone for many yards, but Torrey is fast enough and hard enough to bring down that it is likely he would have gotten something AND it would have forced Ike to creep up to the line of scrimmage more, which could potentially open up other areas of the field...possibly for a deep 5 or 7 route to Boldin, Doss, or Dickson.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Re: Obligatory Fire Cam Thread
You've just summarized my thoughts throughout the game. For me a pass was the right option, the play however was not. A playaction rollout torrey going deep to take away a safety and boldin across the middle to occupy linebackers and hit leach in the flat was my call.
And I noticed ike playing off coverage all the time. Guess how teams attack Cary when he plays soft? Quick passes for 5 to 10 yards a pop. Cam clearly hasn't been paying any attention anyway.
He called one quick pass to smith on the final drive I think and he got eight yards on first down. He could have done that five or six more times until they pressed

Re: Obligatory Fire Cam Thread
I'm glad it isn't just me who doesn't hate the call. As far as I'm concerned, that was effectively a play designed to take a sack: Joe took the snap, scanned to see if anyone was completely open in the flat and then took the sack by pretty much dropping to the floor. Watch it again, he looks to the flat to his right where Rice was clearly supposed to be and from then on he's looking over his shoulder and waiting for Harrison to get to him. By the time Harrison reaches him he's pretty much on the floor.
I would wager that Joe was instructed to take a sack in around 80% of eventualities. As far as I can tell (and I admit, I'm no expert in offensive play calling) it was designed to clear the flat by having Torrey, Boldin and Jones run intermediate routes and hopefully get it to Rice for the first down, but the Steelers were ready for that and jammed Rice at the line. The result was that the clock continued to run and we didn't turn it over. Conventional play calling would have had Rice run the ball, but Ray was averaging 2 yards per carry. If we came out with 8 men on the line and ran the ball behind Leach, I'd put our chances of converting at about 25% with an increased chance of turning it over on a fumble.
As a couple of people have said earlier, the problem was with the minutia: the pass out to Rice was followed all the way by the Steelers, the WR routes didn't clear enough room, and it probably would've been helpful to have Leach out there to a) give Flacco another passing option on the other flat, effectively a Spider play and b) distract the Steelers into thinking it could be a draw.
I'm not saying it was the right play call, it's that the difference between what Cam called and a possible run up the middle are negligible in quality. I'm by no means a Cam fan, but conservative play calls were needed and that's precisely what we got. To be honest, it's quite nice that the day after a road game against our biggest rival, this board's primary complaint is about a play call that resulted in a punt during the last 2 minutes, and not complaining about Flacco, overall offensive strategy, special teams or the defense's performance.

Re: Obligatory Fire Cam Thread
Making matters worse is that IF they REALLY wanted to run a pass play, they should have just called a max-protect shot play on 2nd down because the clock was at 2:04... NO MATTER WHAT the clock is going to stop, so why not line up in the I, run play-action, and take a shot? If you hit the play you'll be in a clock stoppage anyway w/the 2 minute warning, if it's incomplete it won't matter anyway!
There were a few good play calls last night, but overall it was a terrible effort by Cam, execution notwithstanding. There's no way anyone can defend him anymore. The difference between home and road offense is very simple: Cam calling the plays on the road is bad, Joe running the no-huddle and adjusting the offense at home is good. That's the explanation.
I'm also seriously beginning to question the entire offensive staff and their ability to run effective practices. Seeing Flacco and his WRs completely out of sync and off rhythm on the sideline passes, seeing Rice consistently miss open holes and leave yards on the field, and seeing the OL running the same snap count routine and getting beat over and over...
The offense just looks uncoached way too often. As a matter of fact so does the defense, but that's another story.

Re: Obligatory Fire Cam Thread
I saw Flacco throw about 7 or 8 sideline routes high. He was horrible.
I'm loving a win on the road against the #1 defense and I am not gonna call anyone out but if there's a finger to be pointed, it's at the QB.

waves in wrightsville is chest to head, with water 83 degrees. sorry homies. time to batten down the hatches though. hurricane/evacuation party anyone?
just got out from DP this morning in wrightsville. solid head high sets. somewhat closing out, but i basically surfed alone. super fun way to deliver irene!!!!
Monmouth county, NJ is tiny but there's fun little barreling coming in right now.
If there's a good spot for high tide get on it, and let me kno where it is
Tomorrow morning in VB it's gonna be going off early. I'm getting my William Wallace zinka warpaint on. Stay safe everybody. This situation is not looking good.
Avalon is under mandatory evacuation with Stone Harbor & Sea Isle to most likely follow. Latest report says the eye will pass over Cape May. Dying for some waves but not at this cost.
Phase 3 evac. begins tonight at midnight in OCMD...only emergency personnel allowed on island...everyone else must be out by 5pm Fri.
"Surge exceeding 6 feet would inundate most of the city, with most wooden structures in downtown Ocean City destroyed."
Are these guys predicting MOST of the older homes in OCMD (which are all wooden structures) will be destroyed? No credibility in that site if they cant edit out that kind of non sense. This storm is bad enough and serious enough without meteorologists who deal in straight up hype
hoping this windswell sticks around until dark. dying to get the arms loose before the big weekend..

SEATTLE — A question to ponder when the Seattle Sounders play Santos Laguna Tuesday night in the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals:
Who has come further in the last 10 years, Santos Laguna forward Herculez Gomez, or the Sounders, Gomez's team for one summer a decade ago?
Back in 2003, when the Sounders were an A-League team playing in front of sparse crowds, Gomez was a 21-year-old forward looking to establish himself after being sent to Seattle on loan by the Sigi Schmid-coached Los Angeles Galaxy.
Fast forward 10 years, and Gomez is one of the best players on one of Mexico's best teams and is a regular on the U.S. national team. The Sounders, meanwhile, have gone from being a club that was successful by A-League and USL standards, to a club that is successful by global standards, averaging more than 43,000 fans per game last season and becoming the model for what professional soccer can be in America since joining Major League soccer in 2009. And while this season is not starting at all the way Sounders fans would like, they are still one of the final four teams standing in competition that includes the top teams from North America, Central America and the Caribbean.
And even though Gomez and the Sounders are opponents during the two legs of this semifinal — the first of which was won 1-0 by Santos Laguna on a Gomez goal — both can appreciate how far all parties involved have come since Gomez wore a Sounders jersey.
"I was here for maybe two months, and it was probably one of the best summers I ever had," Gomez said of his time in Seattle, noting that even the weather cooperated. … "I had a blast. Adrian (Adrian Hanauer, minority owner and general manager of the Sounders) and the Seattle organization are top notch. Even back then when they were A-League, it was something else. It was impressive. I'm proud of how far they've come, I'm proud of what you guys have established here, because it is something special around the league. I was proud to be a Seattle Sounder."
As much as the Sounders are tired of conceding goals to Gomez — he scored three times against Seattle in two games during last year's Champions League semifinal — they are impressed with what he has done in his career. After finding limited success during his return to MLS in stints with L.A., Colorado and Kansas City, Gomez enjoyed a career revival south of the border. Gomez's strong play with Puebla FC in 2010 helped him earn a spot on the U.S. World Cup roster that summer. And after continued success in Mexico with three other teams, including Santos Laguna, Gomez has established himself as a regular on the U.S. roster and is a near lock to play in his second straight World Cup next summer.
"It's great to see it come full circle," said Sounders defender Zach Scott, who played with Gomez on the 2003 team. "He's one of those guys who has worked really hard in his career, some ups and downs, and finally it looks like it's all ups for him being on the national team and playing really well for his club."
During last week's game, Sounders fans taunted Gomez with chants of "Sounders reject" when he missed a shot early in the game, something he said motivated him a bit. But despite the jeers, Gomez said he got plenty of love from the city he called home for one summer, and he figures he'll get a warm reception the next time he's at CenturyLink Field when the U.S. hosts Panama in a World Cup qualifier on June 11.
"I think the reaction I got from the fans was a pretty good one," he said. "After the game the fans were pretty appreciative. When 90 minutes were over, I became a national team player again, and they let me know how they felt, and that was pretty special."
Before Gomez returns to Seattle with the national team, he first hopes to break the hearts of Sounders fans one more time to get Santos to the Champions League final. While the Sounders are only down a goal, they are facing a very tough task in Torreon, where Santos has made a habit of not just beating MLS teams in this competition, but blowing them out. But even if Gomez is the enemy for another 90 minutes Tuesday night, people like Sounders assistant Brian Schmetzer, who was Seattle's head coach from 2002-2008, take pride in his development.
"We take pride in players like Brian Ching, Herculez Gomez and Marcus Hahnemann, guys who have come through this club and eventually made it with big-time careers," Schmetzer said. "We love those stories."
Tuesday, however, the Sounders would prefer Gomez doesn't add another highlight to the remarkable career that, for one summer a decade ago, passed through Seattle.

It's always a smart move to keep ICE (In Case Of Emergency) contacts in your phone. In the unfortunate case that you were found unresponsive, Emergency Response personnel know who to contact for you. Some phones include this feature in your contact list, but with the iPhone you will need to enter them manually.
Here's How:
First, open your contacts and click + to add a new contact. Then, type ICE – Firstname in the First field. (For contact lists sorted by last name, you may want to add this to last instead.)
In the Company field, enter the full name and their relationship to you.
Lastly, click add field, and choose Notes. This is where you will enter the phone number.
Click Done and your ICE contact will look similar to this:
When Emergency Response personnel open your contacts and search for ICE this is what will appear.
You will hopefully never need this, but I figure better safe than sorry!
PS – This method is great for someone who just wants the contacts, but please note there are apps available at the iTunes store that allow you to enter your blood type, medications, primary care physician, etc.

Time-longitude (Hovmoller) section of various OLR products averaged from 2.5N to 15N. Shaded is the 3-day running mean total OLR field. Contoured are the anomalies calculated by filtering the total OLR for the specific regions of the wavenumber-frequency domain defined in Fig. 1a or 1b. Note the sometimes close correspondence between the solid (negative) contours of the filtered fields with the red shading (low values) of the 3-day running mean total field, indicating the significant amount of variability of the OLR that is captured by the MJO and convectively coupled equatorial waves. Times when there is not a close correspondence between the total OLR field and the contours of the filtered fields are an indication of convective events that cannot be attributed to the MJO or convectively coupled equatorial waves, and these events contribute to the red background spectrum removed from Figs. 1a and 1b.

Rolling Stones announce May 2nd for L.A. tour launch
Listen to The Rolling Stones on iHeartRadio
The Rolling Stones are a little closer to knowing just when they'll be starting their North American tour. The band has announced that they'll be taking the stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on May 2nd to kick off their "50 and Counting" trek. Tickets for the show go on sale next Monday.
However, the Stones add that the May 2nd date is "subject to change pending NBA/NHL playoff schedule." When the Stones originally announced their tour last week they offered no date at all for the L.A. show. The band just said it would be their first concert, and would take place sometime prior to their second scheduled stop in Oakland, California on May 5th.
The Stones have also tacked on a few more dates to the trek. The group has added two more shows in Chicago, and are now slated to play three shows in the Windy City on May 28th, May 31st, and June 3rd. They've also included a stop in Toronto on June 6th.

A pointer encapsulator.
class csPtr< T >
Represents a single, owned, one-time-transferable reference to an object and should be used only as the return value of a function, or when creating a brand new object which is assigned directly to a csRef<>. csPtr<> simply stores the pointer (it never invokes IncRef() or DecRef()). It is very specialized, and exists solely as a mechanism for transferring an existing reference into a csRef<>.
Important: There is only one valid way to use the result of a function which returns a csPtr<>: assign it to a csRef<>.

Discussion in 'Classic Racquet Talk' started by Dino Lagaffe, Jan 25, 2010.
Thanks for more updates. You must be having a tons of racquets by now.
Yeah, it's adding up... And I try to update this log as I get new ones. Thanks for appreciating it.
Anyone know where the specs for the Prestige Tour 600 would fall?
That is great although it is old thread
Thanks. I'm trying to update it as I get new racquets, but that doesn't happen as often as it used to...

Before: 335/11.82/59/316/32.25
After: 361/12.73/59/319/30.5
Thanks Dino
Dino, thanks for all the information about these racquets. What was the condition of the Rossignol F200 (Red) (346/12.21/38/358/34.75)? Was the F200 really that flexible when new? Also, have you ever tested the Fischer Pro Classic 98?
Thanks Dino, and keep up good work
Surprisingly, it only affects the swing weight slightly. Thanks.
Yes, the next step is now to add some lead to get the SW up a little.
Thanks, glad you enjoy it.
The red F200 is in a very good used condition. I assume it was that flexible when new.
Nope, not yet... Hope to get one some day.
Thanks for all the valuable info you provide, its a great resource for those of us that enjoy classic sticks.
PS; I have a nearly pristine blue F200, which I love and sadly a cracked grey one (with the rooster). What would you recommend as the next "must have" Rossi frame? Like you I seem to have developed a fondness for Rossignols.
Hi TCTEN! I'm glad you enjoy the log. It's something I really wish had been available when I started getting old racquets, and something I really enjoy doing now.
As far as Rossignols go, I really want to mention the FGC. That one is probably my favorite Rossi of all time, being even flexier than my F200s... It might be a little hard to come by, though. Another one, that is more common, is the F250. It may not have that total F200 feel to it, but more of a "modern" touch due to the 60 flex. Great compromise of old school looks and feel and modern playability though, if you ask me.
You can't go wrong with a classic Rossignol, so I wouldn't only look for a certain model, but rather focus on getting one in as good a condition as possible. (Although the F-series would be a logical group of racquets to focus on.) Keep us updated!
a bit late but happy newyear
thank you for that , cant look at another beer either , my first day back and what a windy one any one from leeds? , gentos
The F200 must have been made with a very high percentage of fiberglass. I really like racquets with fiberglass, which gives a nice flex and cushioning to racquets. I have never played with the F200, but the Adidas GTX Pro-T Ivan Lendl was a great frame from the same era.
Many Völkls, including the C7 pro (I believe) had some fiberglass in the early-to-mid 1990s. I moved away from fiberglass to the Fischer Pro Classic 98 and the VT Pro 98 , and varying Fischer new generations of the VT Pro 98. I have a large stash of old Fischer racquets in varying condition. I have yet to find a current racquet that I like as much as my Fischers.
Great info Dino.
Yes, screw kevlar, fiberglass is the way to go. :twisted:
If I remember correctly, even newer Völkls than that had fiberglass in them. I also must admit that I share your feelings regarding Fischer. Great sticks!
Your last name sounds awfully fake Bulgarian. :mrgreen: Are you Bulgarian by any chance?
Thanks for all the information, Dino. I think a little fiberglass would benefit some modern frames.
No problem, Mike. I agree, more fibreglass to the people.
BTW, here's another racquet fresh off the machine:
Wilson Pro Select 110
Weight: 356 g / 12.56 oz
Flex: 32
Balance: 30.75 cm
Dino what was the specs of the Vantage racquet you have measured?
thank a lot for all this data btw
I was surprise to see that the stiffness of Graphite Edge is so low (44). Somebody said it is between 55 and 60, and i felt it so.
Thanks! I have to check, I'll post it later.
I'm not sure that somebody ever measured it... :wink:
On a serious note, I think I now have more than one Graphite Edge, so I can try and get another reading and multiple racquets.
These racquet varied from individuals. I felt the matte version was a little softer and has more raw feel than the glossy one.
Another bunch of racquets measured. The format is as always:
weight in grams/weight in oz/flex/sw/balance in centimeters (Balance not measured on every racquet)

Dino, thank you very much for all the information. Many times check your RDC-log, it's very helpful
Have you added Rossignol F280 Graphite to your F-series collection?
I cant believe that Donnay Pro One MP has such a high stiffness. I got a longbody version (graphite/kevlar), and it feels very soft, like PT630.
Hey Dino, I own a Prince Graphite Pro Series 110 (all black with white strip, no cross bar in throat), and was looking for the flex. Your log says 49, which seems great, but the other specs don't seem to match with my racquet... Mine weights 380g without overgrip, and the balance is 32cm (about 9 pts headlight).
Thanks, Goly, glad you like it! Nope, no F280 yet...
I didn't expect it to be that stiff, but I've measured a couple of racquets and multiple readings, and those are the numbers I got. Not sure if the longbody is flexier than or not.
Hi, DonDiego! After having bought, played with and measured hundreds of racquets, all I can say is that sometimes I still get surprised with the difference in numbers between the same model of racquets... Not sure what's up in this particular case.
My bad! There were two replacement grip on top of each other. That added about 20 grams to the frame. It's still heavy tough, at 363g.
Send me a private message with your email address... Thanks!
Note that these are the Limited Editions which were the stiffest pro one supermidsizes, the international and Kevlar editions were much softer...
Another bunch of racquets measured. The format is as always:
weight in grams/weight in oz/flex/sw/balance in centimeters

Wilson Ultra Hammer 5.0 295/10.41/66/362/39
Yonex Rdis 100 Mid 365/12.88/69/321/30.5
Three things really stood out in this measuring session:
1) The stiffness of the Adidas GTX Mid (71)
2) The stiffness of the Prince Thunderstick 90, where I couldn't even get a result...
3) The crazy specs of the Wilson Ultra Hammer 5.0. I have never before seen such HH balance.
I can clearly remember, when that racquet was new, World Tennis (USA) magazine tested it and found that it was the stiffest racquet they'd ever measured. Then, a couple years later, Wilson introduced the Kuebler Resonanz / Profile and the widebody era with a whole new level of stiffness began... :neutral:
Yeah, I knew it was on the stiff side, but thought it would be a couple of points south of 70.
Got pictures of the TR25?
sent from my E5
Would love to see a tr 25! And specs
UOTE="ilian, post: 6230006, member: 18250"]Your last name sounds awfully fake Bulgarian. :mrgreen: Are you Bulgarian by any chance?[/QUOTE]

Since you revived Dino's racket spec's thread I will also make a request, how about some woody additions @Dino Lagaffe
I do want to stop and say thank you again to Dino again as he has provided me personally with so much wonderful info over the years . You are a real blessing and thank you sir for taking your time and providing all of us that reference your rdc logs for rackets we want or have
Hi Dino. by any chance you got a Yamaha ex110 shiny and colourful frame hanging around your basement for you to measure? thx
I have one! Haven't heard from Dino in several years though... I don't think he had one the time I was there to take a look at his collection. My stringer has an RDC but I don't know if I can borrow it to measure it.
What can you say about this frame? have you ever played with it? just got one from the bay and i'm kind of curious. Judging by the pictures it doesn't look 110sq, only if you look to the throat.

Rob Ryan Fired — Dallas Cowboys Part Ways With Defensive Coordinator
The Dallas Cowboys fired rambunctious defensive coordinator Rob Ryan on Tuesday, according to ESPN, the decision coming less than two weeks after the Cowboys missed the playoffs yet another season.
And Ryan is not happy about it.
Ryan, who reportedly was fired by Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett via cell phone while on vacation in the Turks & Caicos Islands, was confident he'll be hired soon.
"I inherited a team that was 31st in the league in defense and made them better," Ryan told ESPNDallas.com's Tim MacMahon. "I (expletive) made them a hell of a lot better. I'll be out of work for like five minutes."
Ryan's defense, which finished the 2012 season 19th in total defense (17th against the run and 21st against the pass), also was without five starters at the end of the season.
Ryan had one year remaining on a three-year contract for the Cowboys, who finished 8-8 for the second straight season and ended 2012 with a loss to the Washington Redskins for the NFC East championship.

Like its feminine counterpart, manxiety stems, in large part, from doing life math.
But many among the Conservative old guard cringed at its "feminine" sounding message.
Some actresses depend not on "feminine wiles" to seduce but on their own way with a swagger.
She invariably adds a feminine touch, a strategy often employed by women in positions of power.
Kids in school and adults on the street would react with scorn at this feminine misfit.
There will come times when you will be grateful for these feminine headaches.
That's a little detail which escapes your feminine observation.
She laughed, more because it was the feminine way than in her feeling.
And all this was for feminine eyes alone—and they of the most enchanting loveliness.
Well;—perhaps it may be that a more perfect form of feminine beauty may be ascribed to another.
mid-14c., "of the female sex," from Old French femenin (12c.) "feminine, female; with feminine qualities, effeminate," from Latin femininus "feminine" (in the grammatical sense at first), from femina "woman, female," literally "she who suckles," from root of felare "to suck, suckle" (see fecund). Sense of "woman-like, proper to or characteristic of women" is recorded from mid-15c.
The interplay of meanings now represented in female, feminine, and effeminate, and the attempt to make them clear and separate, has led to many coinages: feminitude (1878); feminile "feminine" (1640s); feminility "womanliness" (1838); femality (17c., "effeminacy;" 1754 "female nature"). Also feminality (1640s, "quality or state of being female"), from rare adjective feminal (late 14c.), from Old French feminal. And femineity "quality or state of being feminine," from Latin femineus "of a woman, pertaining to a woman."

MADISON, WI -- A federal grand jury in the Western District of Wisconsin has charged David R. Biggerstaff with embezzling from his vending company's employee pension benefit plan.
The indictment alleges that from October 2007 through January 2009, Biggerstaff stole $25,194 from Premier Vending Inc.'s 401(k) plan by withholding employee contributions and failing to make payments to it on their behalf.
At the time of the alleged offense, Biggerstaff was president of Janesville, WI-based Premier Vending Inc., formerly Owen Vending Inc., and was the trustee for the company's pension plan.
If convicted, Biggerstaff, 55, faces a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison.
The charge against him is the result of an investigation by the Chicago regional office of the U.S. Department of Labor, Employee Benefits Security Administration. The case will be prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter M. Jarosz.

After a long distance relationship, Hannah and Chase were ready to marry June 15 at Tavern Meadow in Winston-Salem, N.C. "Our wedding was very friend- and family-oriented, which made it very special for us," Hannah said. "We were able to bring all the people we love together." The bride walked down the aisle wearing a J.Crew wedding gown and accessorized with a flower hair pin. Bridesmaids, dressed in sage green, carried matching blush peonies and baby's breath bouquets. "During our ceremony, Chase and I planted a gardenia bush together in a pot," she said. "Chase poured in the soil while I poured in the water. This symbolized the beginning of our marriage and how we need to tend to it, so it can grow just like the plant itself." An ice cream cart from Blue Ridge Ice Cream kept guests cool during the reception, including the adorable flower girls. Her favorite moment? "Dancing with my husband for the first time as a married couple."

[/quote] They are about to openly "return" and help usher humanity into the next Golden Age. [/quote] You are in communication with the league of Satan. They are about to usher in a world government and put an Anti-Christ in power. Are you dumb? [/quote] It's because of programmed attitudes like yours, that causes such hesitancy of them not wanting to be seen. God made us all. None more special/good/evil than the next. These orbs are full of love and want to see us through to perfection. Nothing evil can be full of such love.. [/quote] listen dear one, they don't want to be seen because they have an agenda to go to and from heaven, with the accuser day and night, accusing things against you in heaven, to the Lord. the op is in serious trouble and I pray he gets help from the Lord [/quote] Don't you get it? There is a contract between the all high God, creator of souls and nibiru. Tis why they call this planet the crossing. Orion and the sweet seven stars of the Pleiades have much to do with this. As does the mark of the beast, 666 = 18, which is also the number of man = 18 but in terms of 5,6,7. man, Orion, Pleiades. The all high God can't look at sin or he/she loses the power of love to create. Nibiru is a go-between. Almost like the Holy Spirit.. This is information that came to me directly from the source.. I have documentation of everything. [/quote] No, you speak of the entrance from this world to heaven, but god can do all things, and judges sin, and Jesus Christ has overcome the world, that those that believe in him shall have eternal life. [/quote]

Many have asked if I ever kept a journal of these Alien/ET related events that have unfolded in my life?
Indeed I have, I wrote it all down in as much detail as I could remember exactly what happened as soon as possible,
What you are about to read is these personal un-edited for the most part journals of mine,
Please keep in mind I am not a writer so please excuse any grammar or spelling mistakes.
A journal of these Alien/ET related events that have unfolded in my life
Imagine this if you will.
You experience strange ET Contact & happenings your entire life.
"They" begin to communicate through telepathy leading you to Cosmic Spiritual Truths regarding howThought Create Reality subject matter.
They begin to reveal themselves in the Physical in Orbs Of Light/Plasma over Lake Erie.
They allow you to film them.
Your footage goes viral gaining worldwide attention.
Your footage lands you on a prime time TV show called UFO Hunters on the History Channel.
On the episode, They decide to test your blood and it is revealed you do not have normal human blood, A very rare blood anomaly/bloodline that the world's best military and civilian doctors are at a loss to explain?
The host of the show Legendary UFO Researcher Bill Birnes goes on to say "I've got a funny feeling that you are being recruited and there is a branch of the government that you're being recruited for - that somehow, some way, you are a hybrid between "ET" and humans. And they are giving you a course of study preparing you to meet your ET higher self.
"Soon After the airing of this show You are indeed contacted by this branch of the government and offered a course of study.
Then you are met by beings claiming to be ET's themselves, and these beings announce themselves as the Anunnaki, which is a term at that point in time you didn't even know the meaning of.
These Anunnaki tell you that you yourself are an Anunnaki incarnated into the Nephilim "Royal"Human/Anunnaki Hybrid Bloodline?
And then this secret branch of the government begins to inform and guide you to information to make sense out of all of this?
Welcome to my world!
Let me tell you a little about myself, I am a musician, filmographer and UFO experiencer. I have been told my footage of the Lake Erie UFO's has created a Billy Meier like buzz!
In my home state of Ohio, I have been cataloging video after video of UFO's over Lake Erie. What makes these different than most sightings is that the phenomena consists almost entirely of 'Pulsating orb's of light' characteristics. Unusual lights seen changing colors, converging, and separating over the lake.
Stories of the unexplained phenomena date back over 150 years to the indigenous tribes. My Lake Eri eUFO footage has been featured on Fox News, Coast to Coast AM, Rense.com, hbccufo.org and in the feature film's "UFO's unplugged with Dan Aykroyd", And David Sereda's latest film From Here To Andromeda which I also co-produced. I've most recently been featured on the History Channel's "UFO's Hunters" show and filmed a pilot for a Alien/UFO based show for Spike TV in 2012 that was never aired for various reasons.I guess the question is how I have all this UFO footage
Here is the full Journal.
