Dear Member:
This action alert provides an updated list of mental health outlets and support groups available in your area. Based on member feedback from our last request for your assistance (sent last week), we were able to add more information. There are family members, however, who have written and are still looking for support in their region of the country. Please review the list and let us know of any additional resources you know in those areas. Email us directly at http://firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you for your ongoing support.
FOS11 Family Members are still looking for additional support groups in:
CaliforniaSan Francisco Bay Area, CA
New YorkLong Island, NY
Albany, NY
Syracuse, NYI lost my brother and his son aboard UA 175. Do you know of any support groups or services in the Syracuse, NY area?
FloridaBoca Raton, FL
Port St. Lucie, FLThere are no groups near me in Port St. Lucie, Florida. I have contacted and have been in email contact with a volunteer from ACCESS which has been helpful. Otherwise, assistance is no where to be found. Please help.
Jacksonville, FLI would love to find a support group in Jacksonville, FL. If you could request information from other members (in Florida or with a connection to Florida) as well I would appreciate it.
If you have any recommendations for 9/11 support groups in these areas of the country, please email us at http://firstname.lastname@example.com as soon as possible. We hope to continue connecting families with resources, and your help is imperative to this effort. Send us more input - we will continue expanding this list and share it with all of you. Let us keep reaching out to other families - especially at this time of year.
GENERAL FAMILY SUPPORTThere is an email group at http://www.griefnet.org for anyone who has experienced loss. "I have been a member of a group for over a year now and it has been wonderful. I belong to an e-mail group for parents who have lost adult children. There are groups for spouses, siblings, friends, etc. I send and receive e-mail every day from parents who have lost their adult children. I am the only 9/11 mom in the group right now, but I highly recommend it for anyone who has lost a loved one. There is nothing like sharing feelings safely with people who know how it is.

CaliforniaFor California resources please call Anita Ahuja at (916) 445-8452. There will be a statewide support group for 9/11 family members, victims and survivors on Saturday, December 6th in Los Angeles. Therapists from the UCSF Trauma Recovery Center will facilitate the event. For more information please call Anita Ahuja at (916) 445-8452.
The only support group available in the San Francisco Bay Area is the one you already have and that is through the Victim's Compensation Board (Anita Ahuja is the contact person). Other than that, there are no formal groups, nor have there ever been, for the families out here except for the one listed above run by the State of California. Those monthly support group meetings will be ending at the end of the year, with a couple of follow ups scheduled for next year. The families in California are virtually invisible; if you speak about 9/11, people turn away; they don't want to hear it anymore. That's just the way it is; too far removed from it, except of course, for those who were personally affected by it; we're still here!!
MassachusettsFor Massachusetts resources, please visit http://www.massfund.org.
MichiganWe have a Michigan Families of 9/11 Support Group that meets monthly at Ward Presbyterian Church located at 40000 Six Mile Road, Northville, Michigan. Our group is facilitated by Cathy Clough of New Hope Center for Grief Support, also of Northville, Michigan. We have been meeting since June 2003, and it has been a tremendous help in learning to deal with the loss of our loved ones. Also, it has been very comforting meeting other 9/11 families. I have found the meetings to be very beneficial on the path to healing. Cathy Clough can be reached by phone at 248-348-0115 or by email at http://firstname.lastname@example.com.

Just curious, how many have a lengthy drive to get to the break? I know some are fortunate and are a stones throw / bike ride from the ocean. Personally, I'm about 90 minutes, depending on season and time of day. Interested to see the lengths some are willing to go to get out. Once you get that bug, you can't get rid of it.

The former Australian Workers Union official Bruce Wilson took to the stand at the royal commission into trade unions and denied a slush fund he established had issued sham invoices or that he gave wads of cash to his former girlfriend, Julia Gillard, for her home renovations.
Mr Wilson denied a range of allegations by several witnesses - including one now deceased - during his appearance on Thursday. He rejected claims he had told Ms Gillard, a former prime minister and at the time a solicitor with law firm Slater & Gordon, he would pay for her renovations in the early 1990s.
Builder Athol James on Wednesday claimed Ms Gillard had told him Mr Wilson would pay for work on her Abbotsford home in 1992.
Mr James alleged on two occasions he saw Mr Wilson ''hand over a wad of notes'' to Ms Gillard, but Mr Wilson denied this.
He said Ms Gillard never paid him in cash, but by cheque. ''I never was paid in cash and I don't know what happened with the cash Bruce handed her,'' he said in a statement.
Wayne Hem, a former records keeper for the AWU, also told the commission that Mr Wilson gave him $5000 in cash and instructed him to deposit it into Ms Gillard's bank account. Mr Wilson said he had no recollection of giving the money to Mr Hem for Ms Gillard. He also denied allegations that he had issued sham invoices for services never rendered to the Thiess construction company.
He agreed he and union bagman Ralph Blewitt had established a slush fund called the Workplace Reform Association in 1992, which Ms Gillard helped to incorporate.
Mr Blewitt claimed the fund received tens of thousands of dollars in payments from Thiess for safety training that was never delivered.
According to Mr Wilson, safety training services were provided in 1993 and Thiess had been ''dragging its feet'' by not providing the necessary facilities for training in 1992.
''There was no capability of doing it,'' Mr Wilson said. ''That's not my fault. That's Thiess's fault.''
The workplace safety training was to be provided as part of a Thiess Dawesville Channel project in Western Australia.
Mr Wilson said Thiess general manager Nicholas Jukes was aware of the invoicing arrangement, including a decision to backdate payments to January 1992 for a three-month period during which no services were provided.
Mr Wilson claims a former Australian Workers Union colleague, Glen Ivory, was appointed to provide the safety training, for which he was paid $15,000 from the secret slush fund.
He disputed a sworn statement signed in 1997 by Mr Ivory, now deceased, that a training officer was never appointed to the Dawesville project. He said he had no knowledge of the slush fund.
''It was never discussed at executive level, nor was a training officer ever appointed,'' Mr Ivory's statement said.
Mr Wilson said: ''I'd like to know who prepared this statement for Ivory, because it wasn't him.''
Royal Commissioner Justice Dyson Heydon redacted large sections of a sworn statement by Mr Wilson including allegations he was offered money from Melbourne lawyer Harry Nowicki if he falsely implicated Ms Gillard in the AWU scandal. Justice Heydon ruled the evidence irrelevant.

News: Bin Laden Dead, Buried at Sea
Obama: Osama bin Laden is dead
By Kase Wickman
Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, the number one most-wanted fugitive for nearly a decade, was killed in Pakistan Sunday, the White House announced.
President Barack Obama made a live statement shortly after 11:30 p.m. from the East Room of the White House.
"Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, and a terrorist who's responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children," he began.
The U.S. received an intelligence lead last August about bin Laden's whereabouts, Obama said, and that he had enough information by Sunday to launch a targeted military operation on the compound pinpointed as bin Laden's location, in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
"A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability," Obama said. "No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body."
White House officials said that the operation was in cooperation with Pakistani authorities, and was carried out by Navy SEALs in helicopters who rehearsed the operation to avoid civilian casualties. Reportedly, one woman who was used as a human shield was killed.
Crowds gathered outside the White House and around the country after the speech, waving flags and singing the National Anthem. U.S. diplomatic centers are reportedly on high alert in case of retaliation.
Obama stressed that the decade-long War on Terror has never been a war on Islam. He thanked intelligence officials and counterterrorism professionals for their work over the years.
"Americans understand the costs of war," Obama said. "Yet as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed. We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies. We will be true to the values that make us who we are. And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al-Qaeda's terror: justice has been done."
Read Raw Story's breaking news liveblog from Sunday night for a timeline and more details.
WASHINGTON -- A U.S. official says Osama bin Laden has been buried at sea.
After bin Laden was killed in a raid by U.S. forces in Pakistan, senior administration officials said the body would be handled according to Islamic practice and tradition. That practice calls for the body to be buried within 24 hours, the official said. Finding a country willing to accept the remains of the world's most wanted terrorist would have been difficult, the official said. So the U.S. decided to bury him at sea.
The official, who spoke Monday on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security matters, did not immediately say where that occurred.

Report: Bin Laden Already Dead
Usama bin Laden has died a peaceful death due to an untreated lung complication, the Pakistan Observer reported, citing a Taliban leader who allegedly attended the funeral of the Al Qaeda leader.
"The Coalition troops are engaged in a mad search operation but they would never be able to fulfill their cherished goal of getting Usama alive or dead," the source said.
Bin Laden, according to the source, was suffering from a serious lung complication and succumbed to the disease in mid-December, in the vicinity of the Tora Bora mountains. The source claimed that bin Laden was laid to rest honorably in his last abode and his grave was made as per his Wahabi belief.
About 30 close associates of bin Laden in Al Qaeda, including his most trusted and personal bodyguards, his family members and some "Taliban friends," attended the funeral rites. A volley of bullets was also fired to pay final tribute to the "great leader."
The Taliban source who claims to have seen bin Laden's face before burial said "he looked pale ... but calm, relaxed and confident."
Asked whether bin Laden had any feelings of remorse before death, the source vehemently said "no." Instead, he said, bin Laden was proud that he succeeded in his mission of igniting awareness amongst Muslims about hegemonistic designs and conspiracies of "pagans" against Islam. Bin Laden, he said, held the view that the sacrifice of a few hundred people in Afghanistan was nothing, as those who laid their lives in creating an atmosphere of resistance will be adequately rewarded by Almighty Allah.
When asked where bin Laden was buried, the source said, "I am sure that
like other places in Tora Bora, that particular place too must have vanished."
CIA agent alleged to have met Bin Laden in July
Two months before September 11 Osama bin Laden flew to Dubai for 10 days for treatment at the American hospital, where he was visited by the local CIA agent, according to the French newspaper Le Figaro.
The disclosures are known to come from French intelligence which is keen to reveal the ambiguous role of the CIA, and to restrain Washington from extending the war to Iraq and elsewhere.
Bin Laden is reported to have arrived in Dubai on July 4 from Quetta in Pakistan with his own personal doctor, nurse and four bodyguards, to be treated in the urology department. While there he was visited by several members of his family and Saudi personalities, and the CIA.
The CIA chief was seen in the lift, on his way to see Bin Laden, and later, it is alleged, boasted to friends about his contact. He was recalled to Washington soon afterwards.
Intelligence sources say that another CIA agent was also present; and that Bin Laden was also visited by Prince Turki al Faisal, then head of Saudi intelligence, who had long had links with the Taliban, and Bin Laden. Soon afterwards Turki resigned, and more recently he has publicly attacked him in an open letter: "You are a rotten seed, like the son of Noah".
The American hospital in Dubai emphatically denied that Bin Laden was a patient there.
Washington last night also denied the story.
Private planes owned by rich princes in the Gulf fly frequently between Quetta and the Emirates, often on luxurious "hunting trips" in territories sympathetic to Bin Laden. Other sources confirm that these hunting trips have provided opportunities for Saudi contacts with the Taliban and terrorists, since they first began in 1994.
Bin Laden has often been reported to be in poor health. Some accounts claim that he is suffering from Hepatitis C, and can expect to live for only two more years.
According to Le Figaro, last year he ordered a mobile dialysis machine to be delivered to his base at Kandahar in Afghanistan.
Whether the allegations about the Dubai meeting are confirmed or not, the wider leaks from the French secret service throw a worrying light on the rivalries and lack of coordination between intelligence agencies, both within the US and between western allies.
A familiar complaint of French intelligence is that collaboration with the Americans has been essentially one-way, with them happy to receive information while giving little in return.

First of all, I'm actually going to try to install to a SD card first but if that fails I will try USB. I'm guessing the process will be largely the same. Anywho, here is my situation:
I have an Asus eeePC 1005HA with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10 installed on it. My hard drive also has a swap partition and recovery partition, which is why I can't install to the HDD (and to be honest, at this point I don't want to mess with that so I am opting to install BT to removable media). So, I already have GRUB installed on my hard drive. I want to install BT to either a 16 GB SD card or a 16 GB USB thumb drive.
However, I noticed that this guide directs you to install GRUB to the USB drive. Is this still what I want to do if I have already installed GRUB on my main hard drive and am currently dual booting?
What I want to happen is to have W7, Ubuntu, and BT all show up in the GRUB list at startup and be able to choose from the three. What I'm worried is going to happen is that I will have to go into my BIOS every time I want to run BT and tell it to boot from USB/SD and then it will load a separate instance of GRUB that will only have the one OS available.
So is it possible to have all three operating systems appear in one GRUB list, even though they are installed to different drives? If so, do I follow the same procedure outlined in that guide, or is there something different that I will need to do for my situation?
Thanks for any help in advance :-)

Severe Asthma Research Program (SARP)
A National Institutes of Health/ National Heart, Lung & Blood Institutes
sponsored network
SARP is the world's most comprehensive study of adults and children with severe asthma, linking 7 leading asthma clinical university centers and 1 data coordination center through a National Institutes of Health-sponsored network. To date, over 1500 asthma patients and healthy individuals have participated. The network's mission is to improve the understanding of severe asthma in order to develop better treatments.
Severe Asthma is a debilitating form of asthma which afflicts up to 15% of asthma sufferers. It can develop in childhood, often in association with allergies, or come on later in life in relation to respiratory infections, hormonal changes or environmental exposures. Unlike "usual" asthma, severe asthma often does not respond well to currently available medications. Thus, the lives of patients with severe asthma are often dramatically impacted by the burden of their disease.
The Scientific Mission of the Severe Asthma Research Program is to improve the understanding of severe asthma in order to develop better treatments. The SARP will gain a better understanding of asthma and its endotypes, in children and adults, by defining the disease at the molecular and cellular levels in the context of the temporal phenotypic expression of the disease.


text: Made things work with a junior college O-line. The turnovers and flags have been reduced. Used our best weapon (Bryant) effectively. Play calling has been much improved. Not that beating the Browns and Eagles is something to brag about but you have to work with what you have. I look forward to the next decade with JG running the Dallas Cowboys. I understand that some "fans" want the team blown to pieces and to lose out so that you can have the coaching change and draft picks. Im pleased with the results considering what we have out there.

Explanation of an hadith by Mr. Adnan Oktar
"When my Lord raised me to the skies, I have heard a voice saying "O Mohammad!" And I said; "O my Mighty Lord, Your Command is my pleasure." He commanded; "O Mohammad, I have selected you among those I created. I have also selected the one who will be your assignee after you and I have taken him for Aaron in relation to Moses."
Masha'Allah. It is great to see that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) to come is this much praised by our Prophet (saas). Insha'Allah, may Almighty God make me a student of Hazrat Mahdi, and insha'Allah, may God make you all the students of the Mahdi and the students of Jesus Messiah (pbuh), insha'Allah. But God says that he will be "...like Aaron." How nice. Insha'Allah.
Explanations of verses from Surah Al-Imran and Surat Al-Ahzab by Mr. Adnan Oktar
Surah Al-Imran, Verse 81
Remember when God made a covenant with the Prophets: 'Now that We have given you a share of the Book and Wisdom, and then a Messenger comes to you confirming what is with you, you must have faith in him and help him.' He asked, 'Do you agree and undertake My commission on that condition?' They replied, 'We agree.' He said, 'Bear witness, then. I am with you as one of the witnesses.'
That means a preacher will come, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will come. Our Prophet (saas) did not help any other prophets yet. In this verse there is also a reference to the Prophet Jesus (pbuh). However who will the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) help? Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). There is a reference to this in the verse as well, insha'Allah: God knows the Truth.
Surat Al-Ahzab, Verse 7
When We made a covenant with all the Prophets — with you and with Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus, son of Maryam — We made a binding covenant with them,
Look, there is something very important in this. "… with you" says God. Three is an address to our Prophet (pbuh). Almighty God made a covenant with our Prophet (saas). He made a covenant with the Prophet Noah (pbuh). He made a covenant with Prophet Abraham (pbuh), with the Prophet Moses (pbuh), with Jesus Messiah, the son of Mary; He made a covenant with all of them. He says; "Now that We have given you a share of the Book and Wisdom…" This happened back when they were in the world of souls; " … and then a Messenger comes to you confirming what is with you…" then a Messenger, a Mahdi comes to you Almighty God says; "…He asked, 'Do you agree and undertake My commission on that condition?' "
"He asked, 'Do you agree and undertake My commission on that condition?'" This was back when they were in the world of souls. And they say; "They replied, 'We agree.' He said, 'Bear witness, then. I am with you as one of the witnesses.'" So Almighty God makes them promise. After they have given that promise, they have helped the Messengers, for instance the Prophet Aaron helped Moses, Lot helped Abraham and John helped Jesus, insha'Allah. Our Prophet did not help any other Messenger. Mohammad Mahdi from his line will come: The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will help Mohammad Mahdi. Thus our Prophet (saas) will be helping the Prophet Jesus (pbuh). That is because Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is his son. Because he is the commander of our Prophet (saas), when Mahdi helps the Jesus, our Prophet (saas) will be the one helping him and thus this verse would be realized, insha'Allah.

Also, feel free to PM us if you have anything interesting for the next issue. Happy reading! - [Paul & [URL="http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/private.php?do=newpm&u=184222"]Pullo](http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/private.php?do=newpm&u=158377)
If you don't mind shameless self promotion, I got a hipster tip to share: http://tech.pro/tutorial/1744/javascript-closures-or-the-story-of-the-lost-credit-card
Not at all. Quite an entertaining take on closures
Nice work on these Pullo, I liked Oridomi and Breakout in 30 lines
The only things worth using the js hacks for hipsters is Timing, Debugging and "||=" and there's nothing at all hacky about them. Everything else is just bad practice.Backbone and Angular are apples and oranges.
http://lab.aerotwist.com/canvas/poly-maker/ is pretty cool.
Thanks man!There have been a spate of these "xxx in 30 lines of JS" recently.The best one I saw was an interactive spreadsheet, which worked fine until someone copied a Rick Astley video into one of the cells
Did you get the point of doing this?
var x = Math.random(2);
if (x > 0.5) {
debugger; // Conditional breakpoint
It's clear what it does, but I struggled to think of why it might be useful.
I don't have much call to use either, sadly.Do you have any experience with working with either of these frameworks?
Doesn't it just launch the browsers debugging in Firebug/Chrome etc.I still use console.log and alerts, but launching the debugger so you can access variables might be even better.
Yeah, I've used Backbone quite a bit and I like it. I have a man crush on @jashkenas.I've only toyed with Angular and Ember but they are more opinated and magical.. where Backbone is the minimum toolset for rich client-side apps that leaves you in control of execution. Angular and ember do allow you to do more with less code but they require you to follow their conventions and don't give you much freedom though.
Hi Mark,
Sorry, what I meant was what use case would require a conditional launching of the debugger?In the code I posted, the debugger is only launched if a randomly generated number falls below a certain limit.When would one do that?
BTW, another good tip for debugging that I picked up lately was using: console.table().https://plus.google.com/+AddyOsmani/posts/PmTC5wwJVEc
I'm not sure it suppose to make sense. In his mind I think it reads like "you can also randomly and conditionally call debugger". I'd rather question why is he writing Math.random(2) when the random function takes no arguments?
I propose that it may be due to him being used to some other language, resulting in JavaScript coding techniques that are less than saliatory.
Yeah, I'm not sure if he's serious about the XXX stuff. XXX and SFW in the same phrase? Also "xxx usually never appears"? I wonder!
Good point
I was wondering about why he wrote SFW. Makes sense now (because of XXX). Thanks.
I also quite liked the ultra light templates approach.I might start using that.
Hmmmm... I'm not convinced.
The ultra light template approach seems like what I would do when I would first encounter the problem and I was trying to come up with a solution... given that I was living someplace with no internet access, no books, no nothing. And once "in the field", I bet the ultra light template approach would most certainly bite me in the back: rigid, repetitive, no reusability.
For starters, every serious developer's mantra is "keep your initialize data in an object". So
var firstName = 'Tal';
var screenName = 'ketacode'
should be
'firstName': 'Tal';
'screenName': 'ketacode'
At which point mustache, 4.7kb minified, dynamic views, sectioned templates, to name just a few, it's starting to make a whole lot of sense.
I'm trying to come up with a series about closures. This is story#2: http://tech.pro/tutorial/1756/javascript-closure-stories-ii
Good one!
A small typo:
function cautiosCitizen() {
function cautiousCitizen() {
This is a bit of a guess, but is 2000 left on the card?I didn't use the console (and definitely not alert), but I would understand it as follows:
var theftStoryPartOne = cautiosCitizen();
theftStoryPartOne is assigned the return value of cautiosCitizen(), which is a pointer to the function thievingPunk()
var theftStoryPartTwo = theftStoryPartOne();
theftStoryPartTwo is assigned the return value of executing the function being pointed to by theftStoryPartOne, which is itself a pointer to the function thievingPunkFriend().
This executes the function it is pointing to and debits the card 1000 bitcoins.
Is that correct?
Hi, thanks for the correction. Updated.
Here's the execution order:
500 is what's left. Bitcoins, as you said!
I'm going to add screencasts in a third follow-up, to explain both more complicated scripts.
Ah ok, cool.I was kind of on the right track, but forgot the withdraw(1500);.
Screencasts would be cool.

Giritale Tours and Travels
About Giritale
Giritale is a small town in central Sri Lanka. In the 7th century, a large water tank (reservoir) was built here for irrigation and it remains in position today. Giritale tank is surrounded by forest area, with Minneria National Park and Kaudulla National Park being the closest reserves. Both Minneria and Kaudulla are home to a vast array of wildlife including sambar deer, sloth bears, leopard and elephants and both can be explored by travellers to this region. Giritale is also a good base for exploring Dambulla and Polonnaruwa.Read More
Dambulla Rock Temple is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is the most impressive of Sri Lanka's cave temples. The complex of five caves includes over 2000 sq. metres of painted walls and the ceiling is the largest area of paintings found in the world. The caves contain over 150 images, depicting some of Buddha's epic struggles against evil. The largest image of Buddha is a behemoth rock carving spanning a whopping 14 metres.
Polonnaruwa is an 11th century city and World Heritage Site. Polonnaruwa features 12th-century stone sculptures, an old irrigation system with huge tanks, and the Gal Vihara – comprising of three enormous Buddha figures - one reclining (it's 44 ft/13 m long), one standing and one sitting. The statues, located in a cluster along a dirt road, are revered as being among the most sacred monuments in Sri Lanka. There are also palace ruins, great bas-reliefs and friezes.

GSA to Hold Public Meetings on Perimeter Security Study
May 20, 1997
Contact: Frank Miles
(202) 708-6570
News Advisory
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. General Services Administration has scheduled two public scoping meetings this week to hear federal, state and local concerns regarding perimeter security enhancements near federally-occupied buildings in the Washington Metropolitan Area.
GSA's National Capital Region is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of perimeter security enhancements near federally-occupied buildings in the Washington Metropolitan Area. The study seeks to address concerns by federal agencies about the need for enhanced perimeter security in light of the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people.
Over the past few months, GSA has met with various District officials, community representatives, businesses and industry representatives to explain GSA's review. Interested members of the public are urged to attend one of the two meetings this week:
May 21
Time: 7:30 p.m.
Location: GSA's National Capital Regional office building auditorium, 7th and D
Streets, S.W.
May 22
Time: 9:00 a.m.
Location: GSA's National Capital Regional office building auditorium at 7th and D Streets, S.W.

Bertani was founded in 1857 by brothers Gaetano and Giovan Battista Bertani. Prosperous wine merchants who believed that quality winemaking held the key to the future, the Bertanis invested their funds in buying some of the finest vineyards in the province and making their own wines. Consequently, unlike most other local producers, Bertani owns its own vineyards and so is able to oversee the entire winemaking cycle from start to finish. View all Bertani Wines
About VenetoView a map of Veneto wineries (vey-NEH-toe)
Notable FactsThe wine of Soave is most common white wine made here. Occasionally you can find an exceptional Soave, but for the most part the wine is easy-drinking and refreshingly pleasant. For the reds, the most popular are Amarone and Valpolicella – both made primarily from the good structured Corvina grape. While Amarone is always made in the recioto method (drying out the grapes to intensify the flavor), Valpolicella has a few different levels. Amarone is made from very ripe grapes, which are then dried and then pressed, producing an opulent, concentrated, full-bodied wine that has a distinctive and powerful taste that stays with you. Not for the lighter fare meal, this wine is almost port-like and delicious with cheese and/or dessert. Valpolicella can also be made in the recioto method, but it's more often found in a dry style – the wine goes up in rank, from Valpolicella to Valpolicella Classico to Valpolicella Classico Superiore. And finally, the bubbly of Veneto – Prosecco. Made from the same-named grape, Prosecco is less fizzy than Champagne and occasionally has a slight sweetness. It's absolutely delicious as a value aperitif.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

You are a beautiful butterfly: let your unique colours shine through. San Francisco based Timbuk2 specialises in custom satchels, letting you specify shape, size and colour. The company has just opened an HTML5 shopfront compatible with iPad, so you can design the perfect tote for your tablet. Our favourite combo is the Classic Messenger Bag, in the neon tones of a Tokyo migraine.
Dragonscale Bag of Holding
US$59.99, ThinkGeek
Crafted from genuine dragonhide (PVC leather), the Bag of Holding is named after a mystical artifact from Dungeons & Dragons. It has enough compartments to carry all of an adventurer's potions and loot, as well as a 17in laptop. For extra kudos, the front features a d20 dice like the one used in the game, to let your companions know they are rolling with a true nerd.
Nintendo Bag
£35, National Media Museum (Telephone order from 01274 203448)
At last, a shoulder bag that will match your Nintendo Powerglove. Emblazoned with the control pad from the original Nintendo Entertainment System, the Nintendo Bag signals your undying loyalty to the Super Mario Brotherhood.

Knomo Lincoln Briefcase
£80, Knomo

Every bag comes with a unique 'If Lost' ID number, helping you and your bag to be reunited if someone finds it on the street. That said, with a briefcase this handsome, good Samaritans might return your laptop but keep the bag.
AT-AT Plush Utility Bag
US$24.99, ThinkGeek
Darth Vader's war machine becomes the cutest lil' weapon you ever did see. Shaped like the massive mechanical camels from The Empire Strikes Back, it's perfect for carrying your textbooks or action figures. It's not specifically designed for electronics, but could probably fit a tablet or small laptop. Besides, padding is insignificant compared to the power of the force.

On October 26th at the Executives Club of Chicago preceding the "High Tech Conference" the 2011 CIO of the Year award was presented to Mr. Stewart H. McCutcheon Chief Information & Productivity Officer at Nalco Corporation by co-sponsors Executives Club of Chicago, Society of Information Management (SIM) and the Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP).
Stewart H. McCutcheon Chief Information & Productivity Officer at Nalco
Since 1995 the top CIO's in the Chicagoland area have been recognized by being nominated by their peers and CEOs for the annual CIO of the Year award. Just to be recognized and nominated by other industry leaders is a great honor. The award was established to publicly recognize the increasingly important role of the CIO in value realization and the delivery of exceptional ROI, as well as the significance that technology plays in Midwestern companies and our economy. The award was presented and recognized the CIO of the Year winner for his accomplishments in front of an audience of over 500 executives on October 26th at the beginning of The Executives Club of Chicago High Tech Conference preceding the CEO luncheon.
The nomination process starts in early June each year and 20+ top CIOs are nominated by their CIO peers and company CEO's. Those nominated prepare an in depth write-up on themselves covering 12 key category areas. Each of the CIO category answers are individually judged by 10 of their peers and given a score from 1 to 10 for each category. This year the CIOs were judged on the following categories: Role in the Business; Career Background; Leadership in Driving the Business; Leadership in Company Success in the Global Economy; Innovation/Contribution to the Company's Competitiveness; Leadership in Corporate Social Responsibility; Actions Taken and Accomplishments in Building Business Partners; Vision (Long & Short term) - Thoroughness and Practicality of Vision; Relevance to the Business; Contribution to External Customers; Organizational Effectiveness; External Recognition (Awards); and Community and Professional Contributions.
Please congratulate Mr. Stewart McCutcheon on being chosen by his peers to be the top CIO and be recognized by his peers as the2011 CIO of the Year.
The Chicago CIO of the Year competition is an excellent example of how the Chicago Chapter has increased its visibility and stature through collaboration or alliance activities. The award was founded by Rich Barnier (Chicago Chapter President for many years) and was first awarded in 1995. While the Chicago Chapter and Rich have been the driving force behind the award, it has been co-branded with the Executives Club of Chicago since 2004 and with SIM since 2011. SIM Chicago is one of the largest SIM chapters. Celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2011, the Executives Club of Chicago is one of the nation's oldest and most prestigious business organizations. This co-branding strategy is a key element of Chicago Chapter's marketing to the Chicago business and IT community.

Maintance and peep sight questions
I was wondering what kind of maintance needs to be when storing your bow in the off season? I use the bow string wax regularly, but I was wondering if there are any more issues I need to be concerned with?
I am also wondering how to get the peep sight to stay still. When I first put it in, I noticed that it moved up and down after I shot my bow a few times. I wrapped thread around it but it is starting to losen and i don't want it to affect my accuracy. Do ya'll know of any tricks or products that will make it stay?

Well, I can't advise on the first question. I never put my hunting bow up for any extended period of time. I practice with it during the off season. I do shoot target, and have a different bow for that. But, I shoot my hunting bow at least once a week.
I may be able to help on the peep issue.
Tying the knots (serving) above, and below the peep sight is a good idea, in my opinion. I use waxed dental floss to "serve" in the peep sight. So far as performance goes, I have not found a difference in the mint flavored dental floss versus the regular.
There is no way I can explain how to tie the serving on properly. It is very simple, and, once you learn it you'll be fine. Properly tied, you will be able to slide the serving up, and, down the bow string to allow adjustment of the peep sight. But, the serving will remain in place during shooting.
You probably need to find an archery pro shop bow technician, or, someone who is up on that stuff to show you. (Altho, they may recommend that you use something other than dental floss. hehe)

Pretty much what Pinky said. Never store your bow during the off-season. Shoot it year round so you stay proficient and learn to shoot better. Actually I consider hunting season "the off-season". It's when I don't get to shoot as much.

What's with the detal floss? I saw someone add it to their bow before, and was just wondering what purpose it served. Please don't hit me.

We refer to "serving" as an application of any string wrapped around the bow string to either protect it, or, hold something in place. The thread that is wrapped around the string where you nock your arrow is called "serving".
If you "serve in" your peep sight. What you have done is to wrap, and, tie some type of thread around the bow string to keep the peep sight in place. The same would be if you "served" a kisser button.
In most instances, a bow string, and cable, are "served" at the ends.This outer wrap protects them from wear.Take a kid with you. Show them the Great Outdoors. Pass it on.

new question from a newb. on my bow I have a peep without the rubber tube but on the genesis I got for my daughter it has the tube,I do know its used for alinement of the peep but what are the pros & cons of them? thanks
There are a few 'cons' to peep tubing.
1) noisy
2) the tube can break and smack you in the eye
3) peeps with tubes are usually larger and slow you bow down.
The 'pro' is they peep is always straight.
Generally, you need a quality string, like winners choice, to put in a peep without an aligner and make it straight when you draw it back. Without a good string, the peep will never be in the same place twice. Very frustrating.Chris Christenson - Admin

Coming to the Lions from Division I Saint Louis University, Conway was named the ninth head coach in program history on June 3, 2010.
The 2014 season saw Conway's team conclude the year with a record of 29-21, excelling on their home turf with a 16-4 record in games played at University Softball Stadium. The season was full of excellent performances on the diamond, including a no-hitter by junior pitcher Ashley Ehlers against Florida Southern and the All-Time Career Stolen Bases record falling to junior McKenzie Burns. Under Conway, the Lions were able to complete three series sweeps during the course of the 2014 schedule and bring home several awards, including five All-SSC selections, two Sunshine State Conference Player of the Week awards, and six NFCA All-America Scholar-Athlete selections.
During his third year Conways guided his team to its first ever Sunshine State Conference championship since the inception of the Sunshine State Conference softball championship in 1981. His efforts earned him the title of the 2013 Sunshine State Conference Coach of the Year. During the 40-16 season, the Lions batted .280 as a team, scored 263 runs, and collected 383 hits. The group also stole 142 bases, which broke Saint Leo's previous all-time team record for steals in a single season. After an outstanding regular season, the Lions earned a berth to the NCAA Division II South Region Tournament. In addition to the team's success, Coach Conway also taught two SSC Pitchers of the Week, seven All-Sunshine State Conference athletes, two NFCA All-South Region selections, and a Daktronics All-South Region First Team player.
In his second year, Conway led his bunch to a 22-win season. During the 54-game campaign, the group batted .274 as a team, stole 88 bases, and connected on 94 extra-base hits. Finishing the year on a season-high four game winning streak, Conway directed a pair of All-Sunshine State Conference athletes, one SSC Athlete of the Week, a CoSIDA Academic All-District selectee and a Daktronics All-South Region.
Conway guided the Lions to a 25-29 overall record, including a 9-15 mark in the Sunshine State Conference in his initial season at the helm. His coaching techniques allowed the Lions to hit over .300 as a team and steal 111 bases. He guided the Lions to a season-high four game winning streak and saw the his team finish in the top-five in the nation in double plays turned (27).
Conway has constructed an extensive and distinguished coaching resume, commanding both Division III Fontbonne and Division I Saint Louis' programs over the past seven seasons. During his tenure at Fontbonne, Conway stockpiled a 117-51 record, collected 40 St. Louis Intercollegiate Conference victories, made three NCAA Tournament appearances, and posted two NCAA Tournament wins. At Saint Louis University, Conway solidified himself as one of the top coaches in program history. He has instructed three Atlantic-10 First Team athletes, in addition to three second-team members and four All-Rookie affiliates.
Conway came to Saint Leo after a record-setting 2010 season for the Bilikens as they ended the year with their first-ever 30-win year. The team finished fourth in the Atlantic 10 by winning 12 conference contests and wrapped-up the season by posting a pair of victories at the Atlantic 10 Tournament.
In his first full season at the helm, Conway made an immediate impact for Saint Louis, leading the squad to a program-record 29 wins in 2007. In the midst of breaking 25 team and individual records, the squad earned their first appearance in the Atlantic 10 Championship and closed the campaign with a second-place conference finish.
The Bilikens followed with a third-place Atlantic 10 finish in 2008. The team registered an 11-8 conference mark, as well as posting the program's first back-to-back 20 win seasons (23 wins). The highlight of their season, however, came at the conference championships when the No. 3-seeded Bilikens made a run to the conference title game.
He led Saint Louis to a 12-6 conference mark and concluded 2009 with a third-place finish.
Conway began his collegiate coaching stretch in 2003 at Fontbonne University. While at Fontbonne, Conway turned a three-win squad in 2002 into a conference champion as his team registered a 23-14 record. As a result, the group chronicled its first NCAA Tournament appearance in program history. He garnered St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC) Coach of the Year and NCAA Division III Midwest Region Coach of the Year.
Following a second-place conference finish in 2004, Conway led the Griffins to their second NCAA tournament appearance in three years. On the march to the NCAA's, the team asserted themselves as SLIAC Conference Tournament Champions, as well as achieving a program-best 33-13 record.
Another NCAA appearance was on tap for the Griffins in 2006, as they once again snapped the school record for wins in a season with 34. In conference action, Conway's group amassed an 11-1 mark, while finishing the campaign as SLIAC Coach of the Year for the second time.
Still, his coaching career goes beyond the college ranks, as he helmed some of the best club and travel league teams in the Midwest. He led a pair of national powerhouses, St. Louis Chaos and the St. Louis Sluggers, to multiple Amateur Softball Association (ASA) and National Softball Association (NSA) regional and national appearances.
Conway received his undergraduate degree in business management/administration from Tarkio (Mo.) College in 1989 and has also served our nation as a member of the United States Coast Guard.
He is married to Kathy Conway, has three children, and currently resides in Land O'Lakes, Fla.

MELROSE PARK, IL -- Ford Motor Co. (Dearborn, MI) previewed its brand-new 2015 Mustang on Dec. 5. The sixth-generation Mustang will go on sale next fall, marking the 50th anniversary of the landmark design.
Stern Pinball Inc. marked the festive occasion by announcing development of the Mustang pinball machine in cooperation with Ford. The Mustang flipper also will debut in 2014.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made," said Gary Stern, chairman and chief executive oft he Melrose Park, IL-based pinball factory. "What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?"
Ford Global Brand Licensing's Mark Bentley added, "Ford Motor Co. is extremely excited to partner with Stern Pinball on this state-of-the-art Mustang pinball machine. Both Stern and Ford are proud American companies with industry-leading, iconic brands. Pinball aficionados around the globe will appreciate the unique blend of Mustang heritage and Stern craftsmanship in this fantastic machine."
According to Stern, the Mustang pinball machine will put the player in the driver's seat of one of the hottest cars on the street. The game's soundtrack is narrated by pro racing driver Tanner Foust, setting the tone for a fast-paced white-knuckle game. Top-of-the-line features include artwork painted by famed Ford GT designer Camilo Pardo and the "ultimate soundtrack," incorporating five decades of hits from Sony Music.
Car themes have been favorites for almost as long as there have been pinball machines. Victory (1987-Gottlieb Premier), Car Hop (1990-Gottlieb Premier), Indy 500 (1995-Williams/Midway) and Corvette (1994-Bally) are among the best known. Williams' High Speed (1986) was so successful, a sequel was produced, The Getaway-High Speed II (1992), which challenged players to shift gears in a pinball setting.

I have yet to receive anything from the Social Security Office. All my disabilites are pretty much static with no change of improvements. I have had two back surgeries and numerous joint problems prior to being awarded SSDI and I am (70 percent overall)100 percent with IU. Does anyone have anything to tell me what to look forward to the review? Will I go through the whole process again? Or will it just be a questionaire type of thing? Thanks for the info! According to my award letter I should be due a review around May 08. Tom

By Lesli Nolen
July 2009
When I was a kid, nearly every summer my dad, mom, sister and I would spend a week at Possum Kingdom Lake. Oh, the days spent on the sandy beach and the morning and evenings spent fishing! I can remember taking turns burying each other in the sand with only our heads sticking out. We built sand castles, swam and I think I lost my glasses at least once every time we were there. I remember having to cake on that thick white sunscreen and wear a cap to shade the sun, as if anything was going to get through that white stuff. When I was tired, I would curl up on the floor of the boat underneath the steering column and sleep. Those were the days--best days of my life.
Spending a week on the lake you had to have lake food. Before our trip mom would fry up lots of chicken and, of course, we had to have the junk food, too: snicker doodle cookies, chocolate chip cookies, brownies, pound cake, trash mix, Cheez-its, etc. But one of my favorite snacks to eat on the lake was peanut butter and crackers. The trick was to set the jar of peanut butter out in the hot sun and let it get real warm and creamy. Then it would just melt in your mouth. Nothing was better than sitting in your lawn chair just off the shore where the waves would gently roll over you as you sat and ate just taking in the day's sun.
Another favorite of mine at the lake was the smell of the fish. I don't know what smelled better, catching the fish or frying the fish. Probably frying along with the smell of jalapeno hush puppies or seasoned fries, either way it was a great ending to a great day.
I also share this favorite with a friend of mine. Before I wrote this, I asked my friends on the Facebook website to send me their summertime favorites. Stacie Poyner of Fort Worth, co-owner of Dean Kingston Men and Women's Clothing, shares this favorite with me. She loves the smell of fresh fish frying with all the fixings and tops it off with a big glass of sweet tea. She loves the feel of water splashing on you as you speed across the lake at sunset after a long day of skiing, the smell of Coppertone suntan lotion and the feel of the sun on your skin when you're catching some rays reading a good book; a watermelon cooled by the pool with lots of salt on it, letting the juices run down your arms and then being able to rinse off in the pool. Stacie's other summer time favorites include dollar hot dog night at the Rangers game; the sound of the snow cone truck knowing you are about to get a grape snow cone, having water gun fights in the back yard, barefoot, with the kids; the smell of sun dried sheets; fireflies; and lying on the trampoline at night staring up at the stars as if you could reach out and touch them and making a wish on a fallen star.
Christi Price, from Odessa, school teacher and mother of two; told me their summer time favorite is traveling to Alpine and Fort Davis. They love that the temperature is usually 10-15 degrees cooler than it is in Odessa. They enjoy Balmorhea State Park and the Davis Mountains, and they love to eat at Reatta Restaurant in Alpine.
Bradley Smith Cromer, of North Carolina, told me the smell of daytime summer rains is his favorite. I think we all share that sentiment. Christine Smith, of Houston, who was also my college roommate back in the day, loves the smell of summertime grilling. My mother-in-law, Tina Nolen of Odessa, also shares this summer favorite. Another favorite of Tina's is the sandhills at Monahans, surfing on cardboard and digging for water. One day, I want this story in full detail. Ginger Whitson, co-worker at Ranch magazine also enjoys the sandhills.
Last but not least, the most enjoyed summer time favorite of the Nolen family is baseball. Again, my mother-in-law, Tina, and her husband, Bob, had a love for the game long before their son, my husband, Breech, ever played the game.
In fact, they spent their summers at baseball camp and baseball tournaments. I have grown to enjoy the game of baseball and have even become a pretty big fan, but I still prefer my summers at the lake. Being married now for nearly 13 years we've combined our childhood summertime favorites--we take a bat and ball with us to the lake. I hope by sharing some these summer favorites with you, you too will remember yours and will make this summer one to remember.

I want to add sonar to my robot, but i have no cash to buy a module. Plus making my own is much more fun I was wondering, have people made non-ultrasonic sonar for their robots? Is it possible and effective?My reason for not using ultra sonic is i have no compatible mic or speaker.

In the past, we've noted that the first computer-based business dashboard was generated by a computer named LEO. It printed out a dashboard report showing payroll statistics for the Lyons Tea Shops in the 1940s. The computer was room-sized and contained over 3000 vacuum tubes. For the full story, see the book A Computer Called Leo.
Today, we look at the question, "What was the first business dashboard for the personal computer?". Well thanks go to veteran dashboarder, Charley Kyd, for writing me with his story of his Lotus 1-2-3 dashboard reports from 1984. Believed to be the earliest PC-based spreadsheet dashboards, they are still impactful today.
According to Charley:
I'm sure that my Lotus mini-graph reports were the first dashboard reports ever created for spreadsheets. And because there was very little management software available back then, they probably were the first dashboard reports created for personal computers.
To put this thought in its proper perspective, that distinction plus $1.95 might buy me a cup of coffee today.
Let's take a look at a couple of screenshots. These come from Charley Kyd's first book Financial Modeling Using Lotus 1-2-3 (1986, Sybex).

Joe has better numbers and more wins through 5 years than Big Jen.
Joe has 102 -101 Tds. 17,633 -14,974 yards 56 - 69 Ints. The only stat where Ben is better is comp %. 63 - 60. I believe Ben won his 2nd Super Bowl in his 5th year.
Not sure I can put Joe in front of Brees.
Brady - although sliding
Eli Manning
Peyton Manning -- body is already failing
I am not really considering any rookies. I think players should play 3 years to see if they are going to continue to progress. Sometimes going to a bad team with low expectations gets early results. But as the team has success and pressure mounts the player starts crack a little. Romo puts up great numbers but folds in big situations.
I'm basing my rankings on how I expect these QBs to play next year, so these are my projections for 2013 (Excluding all 2012 rookies/1st year starters).
1) Rodgers
2) Brees
3a) Flacco
3b) Brady
4) Ryan
5a) E. Manning
5b) P. Manning
6) Stafford
7) Roethlisberger
8) Schaub
9a) Dalton
9b) Rivers
10) Bradford
Any list with Eli before Flacco is counting rings. That's fine, but C'Mon Maaaaan!
Flacco never had a Plaxico (pre-self inflicted gunshot wound) or a Cruz. I mean Cruz is a YAC master. Can anyone imagine a decent QB getting less than 4k passing yds with the receivers on the Giants' SB teams?
I can never rank QB's, way too many factors to consider.
Hell under perfect conditions anybody can throw the ball and as long as someone catches it they will look good doing it.
Are we talking TD throws into the end zone or a 5 yard pass and a 20 yard run after the catch to the end zone?
Is it a pass first or run first offense?
What kind of o-line does the QB have to work with? Anyone running for their life 80% of the time is going to miss throws.
What kind of receivers does he have? If they don't catch what you throw your numbers suffer.
I don't count wins and losses since they win and lose as a team. If you lose games because your defense sucks but you throw 3 tds every game who's fault is that?
Terrible defenses have made bad Qbs look great and great defenses have made great Qbs look terrible.
Can't use SB wins either, mediocre QB's have won it.
Mark Rypien
Brad Johnson
Jeff Hostetler
Trent Dilfer
Flacco is clearly better than all those guys but they all have a ring.
Lets not forget big Jen was 9 of 21 for 123 yards and 0 td's and 2 int's in his first SB game and the squeelers won, did that make him a great Qb? His second time around was a little better with 1 td and 1 int. Had Warner not thrown the int and the squeelers hadn't gotten away with numerous penalties on the runback for a td Arizona should have won that game. Third time around? 2 tds and 2 int and a loss to Green Bay. How does he qualify as an Elite QB? Just because he extends plays and gets hit a shit load? We all see where that has gotten him, he can't stay healthy for a full season anymore.
Way too many things to consider.
I will be happy in the knowledge that #5 Joe Flacco to date is the best QB the Ravens have ever had. Joe Flacco has won the SB and played great ball through out those playoffs. Joe Flacco WILL sign a very lucrative deal and he deserves it and will hopefully improve year to year and we may see another ring during his tenure.
Flacco is a better QB than Roethlisberger. Where he's not better is in a very specific area, and it's that area on which Roethlisberger's success has been based: passing after getting hit by a defender. He's the best I've ever seen in that respect, though he slid down a bit this year. I don't doubt injuries played a large part of that slide.
Roethlisberger has good accuracy and good arm. He's decent at making decisions in the pocket. He doesn't do anything particularly well except he's able to shrug off would-be tacklers and make a play down the field better than any other QB in the NFL. Tebow is better at shrugging the tacklers, but his arm rules out the rest happening with enough regularity to overcome Big Ben in this regard.
I haven't seen enough of Cam Newton. He's a big, strong kid with a strong arm, so he might give Roethlisberger a run for his money in this regard. RGIII, Wilson, and Kaepernick are certainly elusive and mobile, but a good hit brings them down (see Kruger on Kaepernick in the SB).
I'd rate Rodgers as the best in the biz going into next year, with Brees a close second. Both are very mobile for QB's, make good decisions (Brees's INT-fest this year notwithstanding), and adjust well on the fly when something breaks down in the play.
Brady may not have the arm Flacco, Rogers, or Brees do, but he's still a quick decision-maker and is very accurate with his throws. Simms talks about working out for Walsh, and Walsh kept telling him to throw "softer." A cannon arm is nice, but accuracy and decision-making are more important traits, and Brady has both in spades. He also uses his feet well, though in that category he's more like Marino or Manning- he can buy time in the pocket more than get out and threaten with his feet.
I'd take Flacco over Brady going into 2013, but I'd rate Brady over Flacco at this point just because of that decision-making. Brady has that ability great QB's usually seem to have: he just knows where everyone is on the field and finds the open man quickly because of it. Flacco can make throws Brady can't, but I don't think he sees as many open receivers as Brady. So why would I take Flacco over Brady? Durability. Flacco is a bigger, stronger body who can absorb hits I don't think Brady can.
So, Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Flacco...after that it gets trickier. I don't rate any of the rookie, second-year QB's in the top ten regardless of what they did last year because that's just not enough time to see how they play as the NFL adjusts to them. Andy Dalton wasn't quite as impressive in year 2 as year 1 (I'm not sure what his stats were, but he had some sophomore blues by my eyeballs).
Manning is still quite effective, and he has the same vision/decision-making as Brady, if not better. So put him in at 5.
Six through ten, I'd put E.Manning, Roethlisberger , Ryan, Schaub, and FitzPatrick in no particular order...
Not a fan of Rivers. (I really hate him on the field)
He is a top ten QB. He is probably that non winning SB-QB I would rank first.
In 2007 and 2011 he destroyed our defense.. in a way only Peyton did/does to our D.
@ bacchys
Stafford and Rivers are both better than Fitzpatrick.
So is Dalton arguably.
Otherwise your rankings are a virtual mirror of my own:
Top 3 are inarguably Rodgers, Brees, Brady. Then it's Flacco, Big Ben, Eli, Peyton in any order you see fit. After them it's Ryan at the top of the pile of Romo, Cutler, Stafford, Rivers. Again any order under Ryan. Then it's Cam, Kap and the rookies and then everyone else.
There's no way I put Fitzpatrick in the top 15, let alone top 10.
The reason why I would say that Aaron Rodgers is the best QB in the league is, because of what he can do when his protection breaks down. Tom Brady can't do that. He looks like a completely different QB when his protection breaks down. For Rodgers to have accomplished what he did last year, with all of the offensive line issues they had, was impressive.
The reason why I rank Joe Flacco second is his arm strength. Most of the top guys have confidence out of this world. However, who else amongst the best could make the throws that he made, to any area of the field, in the type of weather conditions he made them in? 55 yards through the air, with that trajectory, on the money, in zero degree weather and high altitude?
Now, this is where it gets murky for me. Brees is great, but turns the ball over way too much. Brady is great, but he looks like a different guy if you even breath on him. Peyton Manning is great, but he has traditionally struggled outdoors in the playoffs. Eli Manning is great, but he is wildly inconsistent. I would need more time to think about this portion of the rankings.
