I am currently a client. I do not know what the outcome of my case will be. I do know that I have been blessed to find a man who not only has the professional skills necessary to handle my case, but who also has the heart. My Rehkopf is a professional man who knows what he is doing. He is also a man that cares about his clients and the men and woman in uniform who serve and have served our country. For him it is about what is "right". I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants a job that will be well done by a person of skill, knowledge and compassion.

Don was great! When I didn't understand the legal terms he was referring to he didn't let them just go over my head he would explain them until I understood and was on the same page. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal advice or help. He was definitely money well spent.

I have been a law enforcement officer for over 15 years. As such, I have encountered enumerable attorneys, but never one that was more knowledgeable, more compassionate, more responsive or more willing to help than Don Rehkopf. He is a strong figure that commands respect and attention. He draws upon his vast experience to effectively care for his client's legal matters as well as their personal well being. He is extremely responsive and strives to keep his clients fully informed. He couples his thorough knowledge and eagerness to achieve a positive outcome with a touch of personal concern that, when combined, makes him the most effective attorney possible. I would recommend Don without hesitation.

The FA board held a full day's meeting and appointed a sub-committee that will prepare a job description for a new chief executive to replace Mark Palios.
The board also agreed to consider a paper at its next meeting to outline the procedure the review will follow.
The FA's next meeting will be held at Soho Square on Thursday 26 August.
A statement on the FA's website said: "There will be full consultation with all key stakeholders as the board moves towards ensuring the FA is an effective body to lead English football in the 21st century."
Palios resigned from his role following newspaper allegations concerning England coach Eriksson's affair with FA secretary Faria Alam.
However, the board concluded that "deficiencies surrounding management procedures have been exposed and the board is collectively resolved to see these corrected".
Although no firm conclusions were drawn at the meeting, there are indications of the way in which some of the 12-man board - made up of six professional game delegates and six amateur - are thinking.
Some are said to be in favour of the six pro game delegates - four from the Premier League and two from the Football League - being given more autonomy in decision-making on 'professional' issues.
Such matters would include the England team, the FA Cup as well as commercial issues.
Under that potential scenario, the other six delegates from the 'national' game, would have control of amateur football, albeit with a continuation of their equal share of all FA revenues.
Southampton chairman Rupert Lowe is in favour of the FA's influence being more closely defined in future.
He told BBC Radio Five's Sportsweek programme: "The key issue here is to get the structure of the FA right.
"The FA really is the game's governing body and that's what it should be, in charge of rules and regulations, and the grassroots. If at all possible, it should avoid getting too involved in too many other areas."
Meanwhile, Fifa president Sepp Blatter has laughed off the furore that has engulfed English football in the wake of Eriksson's affair.
"It's just a minor bit of news which seems to create a lot of amusement," Blatter said.
"It is not an incident, it is something good. It is human relations. Football is also human relations. It is better than violence or stripping shirts on the field of play or tackling from behind.
"It is part of our life, football is part of our life. In life, if you have attractive people in the room, then such things can happen."

Loyola Men's Soccer
Loyola is in its 71st season as a men's soccer program, while this is the Greyhounds' 32nd year of competition as an NCAA Division I program.
It is also Loyola's inaugural year as a member of the Patriot League.
The Greyhounds were members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference for 24 years, posting an overall record of 167-24-8 in conference games from 1989-2012. Loyola also claimed 16 regular-season titles and 12 MAAC Tournament titles in that time.
Hot Streaks
The Greyhounds, unbeaten so far this year and coming off three-straight wins, have posted their best record to start the season since 2008. The 2008 squad opened the year 5-0-0 and finished the regular season unbeaten, at 17-0-1.
In addition, this year marks the sixth time in school Division I history that the Greyhounds have been unbeaten through their first five games, while it is the 17th time in the 71-year history of the program that Loyola has not lost in its first five contests.
Loyola Greyhounds
Sophomore Larry Ndjock leads the offense with a Patriot League-best six goals, while junior Connor Thompson is second on the team with three goals. Senior Diego McQuestion is the only other Greyhound with a goal this season.
In goal, both senior Thurman Van Riper and freshman Jordan Watson have seen time, with each posting shutouts. Van Riper has earned two shutout victories, while Watson has one.
Princeton Tigers
The Tigers are coming off their first win of the season, a 1-0 victory over Seton Hall on Sunday.
Thomas Sanner, Cameron Porter and Bryan Windsor have all scored goals for Princeton this season, while Windsor has the Tigers' lone game-winning goal.
In goal, Seth MacMillan has played all 270 minutes. MacMillan has allowed six goals and stopped eight shots for a .571 save percentage.
Last Meeting
The last time Princeton and Loyola met was in 2008, with the Greyhounds earning a 1-0 victory.
National Rankings
Loyola has a pair of Greyhounds ranked among the nation's statistical leaders.
Sophomore Larry Ndjock is ranked third in the NCAA with six goals this year, 1.20 per game, while he is also tied for fourth with 12 points.
Senior Stephen Dooley is also ranked, sitting second nationally with four assists, 0.80 per game.
Patriot League Honors - Van Riper and Ndjock
Senior Thurman Van Riper became the third Greyhound to be honored by the Patriot League, earning goalkeeper of the week honors on September 16.
Van Riper earned back-to-back shutouts as Loyola beat Quinnipiac, 1-0, and Campbell, 2-0.
The Quinnipiac shutout marked the first for Van Riper this season, while the Campbell one extended his consecutive shutout minutes to 186 minutes and 53 seconds.
Sophomore Larry Ndjock was also included as an honorable mention this week after extending his goal-scoring streak to four-straight games. Ndjock scored both game-winners against Quinnipiac and Campbell, and now has a league-best six goals and 12 points on the season.
Greyhounds To Be Featured On NSCAA TV
The NSCAA has selected the Greyhounds' game versus UMBC on Saturday, Sept. 21 to be featured in its NSCAATV College Soccer Spotlight broadcast.
Heading into this weekend's play, the local rivals sport a combined 7-0-1 record, with Loyola holding a 3-0-1 record and UMBC recording an undefeated 4-0-0 mark.
Dave Johnson, who serves as Comcast SportsNet's television play-by-play voice for Major League Soccer's D.C. United and the radio announcer for the NBA's Washington Wizards, will call the acion.
Keith Tabatznik, former head coach at Georgetown, will be the color analyst.
Up Next
Loyola will remain at Ridley Athletic Complex for two more home games.
The Greyhounds host UMBC on Saturday, Sept. 21, before concluding the homestand with their Patriot League opener against Holy Cross on Saturday, Sept. 28.

text: When I used to work as a wedding photographer over 20 years ago I used Kodak Vericolour II and worked with a Rolleicord and Mamiya C220. I finally regained my sanity and stopped doing weddings. However I have had a relapse and have agreed to photograph a friend's wedding. Cunningly I have offered to do the photos as a wedding present. A simple set of bridals and guests (tastefully mounted). I find that commercial transactions tend to sour friendships if things go wrong. At least this way we have agreed that If things do go awry then there is no harm done. I intend to use a mamiya 645 with a range of lenses from 45mm to 210. I think using it hand held will give me more freedom. This means that a fairly fast film (of the order of 400) is called for. When I was but a lad 400 ASA films were very grainy. No doubt times have changed. My recent colour film experience is limited to Fuji Superia 100. Lovely film for orchids but a little too saturated for wedding work. Could anyone give me some suggestions for a suitable film for this occasion. If the weather is not too bright I may well use Superia 400 for that extra bit of bite

Crucial SSD Upgrade Made My Old MacBook Pro Better than New

So there we were on Friday at Sydney's Darling Harbour with 150 in the audience to listen to a full day of discussion on gender equity.
It just wouldn't have happened a year or so ago. There were chief executives, directors and executives from all over the country at the Gender Equity in the Workplace summit, hosted by the Australian Human Resources Institute and UN Women. Plenty of blokes showed up, too, and there was lots of interesting and nuanced debate.
It's clear the discussion has moved beyond the "women aren't suited to management roles" level and you have to be grateful for that. Now it's more about what organisations need to do and the best way to do it.
Never underestimate the capacity of workplaces to instigate changes that will open the door to advancement for women,
It was fascinating to hear
Progress for women in organisations will not happen by itself, she acknowledged. Although some work had been done at
Having faced some criticism for a lack of progress on this front, the bank has now set targets for women in management (40 per cent by 2014) and Kelly heads the diversity council.
Her performance in this area is part of her main KPIs, Westpac director Gordon Cairns told the summit. He was part of a an all-male panel – with
Some of the suggestions for next steps included more incentives for organisations making some headway in gender equity through tax breaks, awards or inclusion on preferred supplier lists.
Lots of suggestions were made for examining workplace norms and making them more workable for all employees, and mainstreaming practices such as flexible work so it's out of the women's ghetto.
Mainstreaming this entire agenda was a theme for the whole day – to get everyone talking about it and push the issue up the workplace list of priorities. Amen to that.

When Mowgli the cat went missing from his owners' Calgary, Alberta, home five years ago, he was feared dead. The 7-year-old cat suffered from epileptic seizures and was without his medication.
"We said our goodbyes to him not knowing what really happened to him," Pat Rollock, his owner, told QMI Agency.
Last week, a vet called Pat and Derek Rollock with the shocking news that Mowgli had been found — and was living with another family a few kilometres away.

RTB Finds Gordon Nelson Inc. Had Ulterior Motives in Issuing Mass Evictions
Seafield victory a big win in the fight against renovictions – but it comes at a high price for residents.
The Residential Tenancy Branch found this week that Gordon Nelson Inc. did not meet the test of good faith in their application to mass evict tenants at 1436 Pendrell St for "renovations".
The dispute resolution officer stated that Jason Gordon and Chris Nelson of GNI had ulterior motives behind the eviction notices they issued:
"In consideration of the Landlord's submissions with regard to good faith intent, I find, on a balance of probabilities, their claim is undermined by their ulterior, primary motive of obtaining a substantial rent increase. Therefore I find that the landlord is attempting to end these tenancies in bad faith."
In late November, 2010, Gordon Nelson Inc. issued eviction notices for renovations en masse to residents of the Seafield Apartments, including 84-year-old Rolland McFall and Dana Crudo, a pregnant woman.
The eviction notices came just 10 days after Gordon Nelson Inc. lost their application for an up-to 73% rent increase at the Seafield, which they had been pursuing since February 2009. When that avenue of substantially increasing rent at the Seafield was closed to them, Gordon Nelson turned around and issued mass eviction notices for renovations.
Gordon Nelson are appealing their loss of an up-to 73% rent increase while, at the same time, arguing that the building is unsafe and in need of renovations that require mass eviction.
Tenants worked around the clock (and around their full time jobs) for two months to prepare a case defending their homes.
Their evidence consisted of:
· Letters from several contractors outlining that it is possible to complete the renovations with tenants in place
· Letters from residents stating their willingness to accommodate the renovations using whatever means necessary
· Letters/emails from the landlords documenting their attempt to obtain more money from residents using the threat of evictions renovations
The dispute resolution officer found that the landlord's overriding motivation was to achieve significant rent increases through mass evictions, not to extend the useful life of the building and conduct renovations, and stated:
"In the circumstances before me I find that, on a balance of probabilities, the Landlord was not acting in good faith when they served the Tenants with the Notices to End Tenancy. Rather, I find that it is likely that the Notices to End Tenancy were served because the Landlord was unsuccessful in their attempt to achieve significantly higher rates of rent for the rental units in question."
Further, the DRO concludes: "…by the Landlord's own admissions, they stated they were willing to postpone renovations for years in exchange for the Tenants paying higher rents. I find by their own words, the Landlord weighed the benefits of receiving higher rents over the need or desire to renovate a building which they claimed was unsafe and required renovations."
While residents are overjoyed with the decision, this victory is not indicative of a working system. Tenants at the Seafield have devoted the past 2.5 years of their lives to fighting this cause for all renters in B.C. – a fight few are either willing or able to take on.
"There are no penalties for landlords who abuse the law. It basically costs them nothing to try," says tenant Melissa Mewdell. "Despite the fact that we have demonstrated that this company has ulterior motives for eviction, there is nothing stopping Gordon Nelson from doing this again to us, or to anyone."
"The law gives them carte blanche to make the lives of tenants a living hell, and they've been doing it for years," she said.
Seafielders have put in hundreds of hours of work and have been to the Supreme Court of B. C. once, and to the Residential Tenancy Office for eight separate cases since Gordon Nelson bought the building two years ago.
The 2 1/2 year on-going battle has cost the Seafield's close community dearly, with the departure of one couple due to health issues brought on by the continuing stress; the only successful targeted eviction of a family for a "resident manager"; and a third resident who left out of frustration and fatigue in February due to this fight.
Seafielders applaud the RTB for this landmark decision. However, when tenants must sacrifice huge amounts of their lives to defend their rights to live in peace, changes to the Residential Tenancy Act are clearly needed.
Seafielders will be speaking with the media about this decision at 9 a.m. in front of the building (1436 Pendrell Street).

I think that the idea is this: if you stare at the dot, the bikes disappear. The bikes on the road are always a blank spot for our eyes. That's why we have to be more careful.
interesting but i don't think people will get the idea in 30 seconds, and actually 30 seconds is the average time of starring at a press ad by viewership.
Ya i got it, but not that interesting.
Love creating ads..

Gee wiz. "like solving obesity with a bigger set of pants". We need to stop the backwards thinking of the well-intentioned older generation which refuses to consider the innovations of the newer age. Wasting millions of dollars on an infrastructure which is already outdated- bad, bad idea, but the norm for COS. How about a common sense idea like a light-rail? How about actually moving towards an awesome solution to the problem? How about recognizing Denver and the region as one of the fastest growing areas of the country, and moving to address the issue like a modern city would? Gee wiz the leadership and influence of this area are simply as backwards as can be.
#2 protesting Trump isn't a crime starting fires and breaking windows is.
Every day the Media makes up a new story about Trump and Russia. Will you sore losers ever get over the rejection?
Hmmm - she lied to voters on the PPRTA ballot issue about it sun setting and that it would require NO paid staff. If anyone really looked at the PPRTA they have hidden how they over estimate the cost of a project so it will always come in under budget and then move the excess funds to the next project. She tricked voters into removing term limits so that our ballots now need to list that voting no means yes. She turned her back when Maketa gave her a complaint. I've got no idea why Ralph thinks she should be allowed in a position to lie to the public again.
There's really no such thing as free speech. What you say and where you choose to say it can cost you plenty.
I noticed that Don McCullen lies quite a bit and claims to be a Christian! Hilarious!
"Progressivism is the threat of the day. They don't want us to push our faith on them but they have no problem pushing it on us...and their friends and allies approve." -- absolutely false.
"We have to bake LGBT wedding cakes and support and bless their LGBT weddings." -- a business does. Welcome to America. No LGBT can walk into a church and demand a specific Christian bake them a cake.
"Also we have to pay for abortions for women what act like harlots, and affirm their decition to abort cause after all they are women and them some. Never mind that half or more than half of the pre born babies that are snuffed are GIRLS!!! But the woman's loose libido is far more important...just look at Cosmo and you will see what I mean. They may not like seeing nude men but they love to talk dirty. Unlike the guys who do love to look at the T&A...or not if you go with Maxim. " -- total bullshit lie. You don't spend one penny on anyone's abortion. You sir, are not a Christian.
"They [progressives] expect us to shut up..."
Yet, here you are raving and ranting to your heart's content. This must be a new definition of the phrase "shut up" that has not made it into the dictionary yet.
"...and they [progressives] get to act like animals."
For examples, progressives have paid good money to provide you with this free forum to air your imaginary grievances and gratuitous insults.
"I have others if you'd like to read them."
No, thanks. Not interested in Russian propaganda and fake news,
I have some question's Mr. McCullen You say in a response that the left is pushing for a" National Police Force" Dont we already have that? Its called the Justice dept they are the ones with the task to protect us from misuse of that Constitution that you bring up.Is it not the document that gives us the right to practice or not practice any religion in any way we want? I was under the thought our founding Fathers were escaping persecution when that was added to the document that started this great Country. So please explain how peoples own personal beliefs are a threat to that document? Its pretty clear to me its not. I consider myself a Christian man and when I was young the Bible I read said Jesus was crucified for fighting persecution from the Church and Leaders of that day and time.One reason I dont go to Church any more is it seems to contradict what Jesus was trying to teach us. So please explain to me and if you cant maybe your Pastor can. How can a Christian Church or Christian organization preach exclusion, damnation and hate when all Christ taught was Love and inclusion? I would really like to know where in Jesus's words did he say certain people were not welcome. I understood him as saying all who seek him were welcomed.
"Tom, keep on speaking out. I don't necessary always agree, but the way these leftists talk they have an agenda and in the long run they will discriminate against anyone who does not uphold their Progressive ideals and faith."
Our agenda is getting you to leave us alone. You don't get to push your religious doctrines on us and treat us as subhuman just because your dogma says we're all sinners (but you're saved).
"Progressivism is the threat of the day."
Spoken like a true fearmonger. Life involves change, pal - there is no choice but to progress. That which does not adapt WILL DIE eventually. You don't have to embrace change but don't expect us to be sympathetic when you whine about it.
"They don't want us to push our faith on them but they have no problem pushing it on us...and their friends and allies approve."
None of us are saying you can't worship your god or pray or follow his commandments for yourselves. We're not asking you to change what you believe for yourselves (if you don't like gay marriage, fine, don't marry someone the same sex as you - nobody's going to force you. If you don't like abortions, don't ever have one. Don't like punk hair colors? Don't dye your hair). We just don't want to be forced to conform to your beliefs in a legal setting when we don't share them. The First Amendment even prohibits this. What's the problem? Trying to legislate your beliefs onto others is like saying "I'm on a diet, so you can't have that chocolate cake." No. It's your diet, not mine.
"We have to bake LGBT wedding cakes and support and bless their LGBT weddings."
1) nobody's forcing any church to perform gay weddings. There are some Christian denominations that welcome gays, and I'm pretty sure most gay people who want to get married will be happy to go where they're actually welcomed.
2) Selling someone a cake does not mean you condone their marriage any more than selling guns means you condoned a murder and armed robbery by the person you sold a gun to. If you can't bring yourself to do your job fairly and equally, then keep YOUR religious limitations in mind, and find a different job. Don't expect the world to conform to YOU because you believe your religion forbids you something. Where in the bible does it say "thou shalt not bake cakes for gays or do them any kind of service", anyway? Is it by the passage that says you can't wear mixed fiber clothing, or the one that says you can't eat pork or rabbit or shrimp?
3) you might have to legally acknowledge a gay couple, but that doesn't mean you must approve of the relationship. It means you accept it - however grudgingly - like property taxes and car insurance. I don't approve of some of my straight friends' relationships but I understand that what they do is NOT MY BUSINESS and not my choice.
4) the whole "waaaah we have to bake cakes for gay people" thing sounds SO much like the places in the 1950s that didn't want to serve "colored" people, it's just crazy. I guess you missed a lot of the deeper meaning in the parable of the good Samaritan. Here's a hint: Samaritans and Jews HATED each other, it was a deep loathing that probably rivaled that between Palestinians and Israelis today. But Jesus advised treating those you hate with respect and care, and to go the extra mile for them. He even SAID to do that. That which you do for the least of them, you do for him. Love your enemy. Turn the other cheek. If he asks you to go with him one mile, go two. He wasn't asking for proof of income and need when he fed the 5,000 - everyone got some, didn't they? (wow, Jesus sounds a lot like some communist hippie...) But, American Evangelical Christians fail MISERABLY at this all the time. They're the ones asking if the little children REALLY DESERVE the cup of cold water, or of the poor really deserve to be given anything at all. No doubt they'd want a confession of faith from the Samaritan and to make sure he's not gay, before they take him back to the hotel and bandage him. It's cruel and sick, a pathologically psychopathic twist of Jesus' best teachings on kindness.
"Also we have to pay for abortions for women what act like harlots, and affirm their decition to abort cause after all they are women and them some. Never mind that half or more than half of the pre born babies that are snuffed are GIRLS!!! But the woman's loose libido is far more important...just look at Cosmo and you will see what I mean. They may not like seeing nude men but they love to talk dirty. Unlike the guys who do love to look at the T&A...or not if you go with Maxim."
Ahh this old red herring. Completely ignoring, once again, the actual statistics of who gets abortions.... that over 60% who get an abortion are in a committed relationship (40% are outright married), that 3/4 of them already have children (and 50% have more than one), that around two thirds of them WERE USING birth control when they got pregnant because no form of birth control including tubal ligation is 100% effective. Almost nobody aborts because they don't want a girl here, either. That's a very east-Asian thing, and it's culturally related to how girls are seen as lesser value than boys.
Hey, how's Colorado's birth control program doing for ya? It reduced the abortion rate in this state by a whopping 42%! I think someone estimated that it was a $6 savings in maternity and food stamp costs for every single dollar spent on the birth control program! Don't try to tell me that's not a victory! (at least if you're just anti-abortion. But if your goal is just to force people not to have sex so they can abide by your religious morality regardless of whether they're believers.....)
I love how you brought up "women's" loose libido, too. What about men? Don't men have some kind of responsibility for their own chastity, or are we really meant to be our brother's keeper? Even in the Bible, men have been blaming women since Adam. God asks what happened, and Adam tries to combo-blame both God and Eve by saying "the woman YOU gave me, told me to eat this" as if he didn't have a choice! Tale as old as time, blame the woman for everything and ignore your own choices... leave her with as many consequences as you can, never take any personal responsibility for your own bad decisions.
Also, God has never said he was against abortion. Sure, "don't murder", blah blah blah, but the problem is, the bible actually explicitly says that a human life begins at the first breath. Unborn fetuses are treated like PROPERTY in the Bible, not like people. The punishment in Leviticus for causing miscarriage by striking a pregnant woman, is not the death of the offender like it is for murder - it's a FEE. When a woman is put to test for infidelity in the Bible, the "bitter waters" cause a miscarriage - an ABORTION! God also killed plenty of babies in utero, what with all the pregnant women being ripped open... so I don't think he really cares that much about fetuses.
Oh yeah, and then there's the fact that *your religious book* is what's telling you it's immoral to have sex outside marriage/for pleasure. Guess what, other people aren't bound by your religious teachings! Get it through your head... stop pushing your religion on others and forcing them to conform to your religious morals! Two adults having sex is between those two people. They shouldn't have to have the approval of a church if they haven't chosen to partake in that religion.
"They expect us to shut up and they get to act like animals. This is why we need to enact common sense into our culture and government and yes a lot of that does come from God's Law."
Shutting up is necessary in order to LISTEN. So if you're not interested in listening I guess it makes sense that you're offended by the idea of being quiet for a bit.
Last I checked, we still have non-religious laws against murder, theft and such, and people who do stuff like that can still be arrested. No need to be so dramatic. If I were an animal I probably wouldn't be wasting my time typing this.
Have you ever heard of the Code of Hammurabi? One of the first written law books in the world. Predates the written Bible, including the Pentateuch, by quite a bit (it may have been written around the time of Abraham, or before; if Moses wrote the Pentateuch, as is claimed, then Genesis through Deuteronomy came significantly after). The Code has those same basic principles about murder and theft being crimes, so that makes it a pre-Judaic code of law, which means that basic ethics definitely didn't start with recorded Christianity OR Judaism. Interestingly, murder and theft and such seem to be frowned on in most cultures, including those that never had any contact with Judeo-Christian peoples. It's a fairly universal thing for humans - even the ones who are "too primitive" to wear clothing - to agree that killing each other is bad.
Your "common sense" honestly seems pretty crazy to me. You're claiming a lot of things that you just have no evidence for and including a lot of talking points that either don't make sense, aren't Biblical (but are somehow frequently brought up in Evangelical circles), or are just flat unproveable.
"Jane O'Halloran is not your friend...she is your enemy. Sorry for all the crap you had to go through Jane but that does not give you an excuse to push your progressiveism on the rest of us...at least not without a fight."
There's another common fearmonger-Faux News tactic, painting the person you're disagreeing with as the ENEMY. I'm nobody's enemy. I think you're ill advised, sadly misinformed and have been hoodwinked into thinking you're under attack because we're not allowing you to inject religion unconstitutionally into law... but you're not my enemy. (I can't really blame you... if your talking heads are constantly telling you you're persecuted, under attack and a martyr-to-be at any moment, I guess it's just a matter of time until you start believing it.) You still have the right to believe as you please, for yourself. I'm not trying to take your Bible away from you (please. Keep it. READ it and try comprehending it better, maybe. Look into that sermon on the mount stuff - there's some good stuff in there - and take note how BADLY that aligns with Evangelical politics... then consider that anyone who's trying to sell you that distinctively twisted Evangelical political angle may be incorrect or deliberately deceptive about some of the "facts" they're selling you. Ask yourself what they might have to gain, if they ARE deceiving you. Learn to think for yourself!)
No, actually, I don't care if you stay Christian or not. I don't care what your beliefs are as long as you keep them to yourself. I'm just trying to stop you from pushing me into a Christianized Burqa, pal - there's a reason a lot of us joke about Evangelicals being basically the Taliban with a Bible instead of a Koran. As long as you keep trying to turn this country into a white-straight-Christians-only-everyone-else-get-out nation, I will keep fighting for the FREEDOMS of people to hold their OWN beliefs and live by them, and showing actual real-life compassion to other people who are different from me. I know there are some avowed Christians who also fight this fight. Let people be free to do as they choose, and God - if he's there - be the judge of who the real sinner is. Let him establish his own kingdom on earth. Humans are far too power-hungry - ESPECIALLY church leaders, as we've seen time and again with sex scandals and ripping off people by telling them they can buy their way to heaven and the cruel fruits of the lies of Prosperity Gospel that are now spreading their nasty seeds through Evangelicalism, telling the poor and the sick they deserve to suffer and miss out on basics, in direct contradiction to Jesus' own words.
Religion is not dying out, but what is happening that is that Islam is growing with the approval of the Progressives, or they flat out just don't care...cause if they did they would be going after them as much as they do the so called "Christian Right."
Progressiveism I dare say is a religion in itself and like Islam it is both political and religious. Islam however has its standing army, and the Progressives really need their own. They can't rely on the UN or the local police and that is one reason why I think the left is pushing for a national police force. A force that will answer to the progressives and nobody else...including our Constitution of the United States of America. Progressiveism's real goal is to replace God and his Church with Man's "State." The State being Big Centralized Government who feels its need to shape the culture in its vision and image.
Christianity is on the decline for many reasons. Many of those reason are their own fault (calling out what the Bible calls sin is NOT one of them), BUT make no mistake the left declared war on that respected faith a long time ago and too many Christians did not take the threat seriously. Humanist and leftist John J. Dumphy said it best with these quotes from his now well guarded piece "A Religion for a New Age."
"I am convinced that the battle for humankinds future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith: a religion of humanity that recognizes the spark of what theologians call divinity in every human being. There teachers must embody the same selfless dedication of the most rabid fundamentalist preacher, for they will be ministers of another sort, utilizing a classroom instead of a pulpit to convey humanist values in whatever subject they teach, regardless of the educational level preschool, daycare, or large state university. The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the new the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with all its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of humanism, resplendent in its promise of a world in which the never-realized Christian ideal of love thy neighbor will finally be achieved.
Years later Dumphy stated this; "Have I mellowed over the past 11 years? Of course, who hasn't? But have I repudiated or even questioned the basic tenets of 'A Religion For A New Age'? No, nor can I envision myself ever doing so. How do I respond to the fundamentalists who are so incensed by the essay? If they have the decency to confront me to my face instead of sending anonymous hate-letters, I usually say something to the effect that Pat Buchanan was right at the 1992 Republican National Convention when he stated that a cultural civil war rages across America. While the struggle is certainly quite complex and multifaceted, I continue, a significant aspect of it is comprised of the conflict between the totalitarian Christianity of the Radical Right and the force of humanism. And then I add, 'But here's something that Mr. Buchanan neglected to mention in his address: humanism is going to win."
And Dumphy is being proved right, but It is not just humanism that is winning the day it's only a subcategory of the overall Progressive worldview. So let me rephrase what Dumphy said; What Patrick Bunchanan failed to mention is that Progressiveism is going to win...no matter how much he and his right wing ilk may the to push back on our agenda for the human race.
But in the end; it is that rotting corpse of Christianity eventually will love its neighbor...it just will not give you the license to sin as progressiveism does. The license to sin however will have a cost...and that cost will eventually be Personal Liberty and Freedom. Don't think for one minute that once Progressiveism enemies are long gone (should it ever happen), that they will be living happy ever after. No, cause the progressive left will turn on their own. If you act like animals, think your animals, you will fight and DIE like animals. They need to hunt...its in their blood and instinct. The eventually extermination of the human race is Lucifer's (i.e. the Devil) long term goal.
sorry religious freaks... nobody under 60 is that into you. you will continue to lose in courts, in attendance and on the true morality stage. time will prove the fallacy of all religions. a natural act is determined by nature, not your fairy tale book. how about helping the homeless (poor), helping those that suffer (refugees)?? isn't this what your jesus preached... you pretend religious hypocrites are disgusting.
Religion...the only mental disease that actively seeks to replicate itself in another host.
Tom, keep on speaking out. I don't necessary always agree, but the way these leftists talk they have an agenda and in the long run they will discriminate against anyone who does not uphold their Progressive ideals and faith.
Progressivism is the threat of the day. They don't want us to push our faith on them but they have no problem pushing it on us...and their friends and allies approve. We have to bake LGBT wedding cakes and support and bless their LGBT weddings. Also we have to pay for abortions for women what act like harlots, and affirm their decition to abort cause after all they are women and them some. Never mind that half or more than half of the pre born babies that are snuffed are GIRLS!!! But the woman's loose libido is far more important...just look at Cosmo and you will see what I mean. They may not like seeing nude men but they love to talk dirty. Unlike the guys who do love to look at the T&A...or not if you go with Maxim.
They expect us to shut up and they get to act like animals. This is why we need to enact common sense into our culture and government and yes a lot of that does come from God's Law.
Jane O'Halloran is not your friend...she is your enemy. Sorry for all the crap you had to go through Jane but that does not give you an excuse to push your progressiveism on the rest of us...at least not without a fight.
My friend Rev. Pedigo, the reason there are so many lawsuits against Christian groups is because too many of them are pushing their religious agendas and unnecessary religious-moral constructs into the public sphere.
You claim to hold the freedom of speech very dear. The problem is, the First Amendment itself ALSO says that while you are in fact free to practice your religion for yourself, you do not have the right to push your religion on everyone else in a legal/political sphere. You may not establish your religious morality as the code of the nation or the state or the city. You may not use your religion to persecute gay people because you think their "lifestyle" is gross or immoral (believe me, you don't want me to start going on about the gross hypocrisy and rampant lack of morality and ethics within the church. I used to be a Christian, so I KNOW - I saw pastors cheating on their wives, I saw a divorce rate that didn't differ from anyone outside the church, I saw the logical hypocrisy).
If you could make Christianity the state religion and start stuffing the law books with Biblical guidelines, it is not hard for me to imagine establishment of a theocratic Christian version of Sharia law where women are relegated to kitchens, kept under the ownership of men as transferred from their fathers to a new husband whom they may not divorce for any reason including abuse, perpetually pregnant with no right to their own bodies and freely used as scapegoats by men who claim they can't control their own sexual desires because a woman "tempted" him. Based on what I've seen written and spoken by evangelists and "Christian" teachers and authors and popular figures, it's easy to imagine a nation where it is legal to murder gay people for their sexuality, infidels/nonbelievers can also be shunned and killed, and science is abandoned in favor of religious dogma that has no bearing in reality. That would be because all these things have happened before. We called it the Dark Ages, and those of us who have studied history and actually care about the freedoms of our fellow Americans have no desire to return to that model or even go down that road any distance.
Even more insulting, you don't really even understand what persecution IS. Having people respond negatively to your diatribe, as others have pointed out, is not persecution. It's a normal, quite civil response, but you're not entitled to a hugbox just because you have an opinion, sir.
Shall I explain persecution to you, then? At the really extreme end, persecution is being jailed and fed to lions for the entertainment of a crowd, but I don't think anybody has experienced that for a good 1800 years or so, Christian or not. In the modern world, though, persecution is being denied a job or services. Persecution is being henpecked and harassed out of your community because you're the wrong religion or sexuality. Persecution is being kicked out of your home by your own parents because you're gay. Persecution is having someone single you out for harassment and bullying because you're different. Persecution is being told you're a bad person and you're going to hell randomly on the street, when they don't even know you and you never asked them their opinion anyway. Persecution is being killed or beaten up by an angry group for your religion or sexuality. You want to talk about persecution in THIS country? Fine, let's discuss the Salem witch trials (led by Christians). Let's discuss the lynchings of black people during the civil rights movement(the KKK are Christian terrorists). Let's discuss Matthew Shepard, and also those gay "conversion camps" run by Christians that abuse these poor kids so badly that they commit suicide at a shocking rate - and they're STILL DOING IT. Let's discuss the mobs of angry Christian pro-lifers that gather outside women's health clinics to shout down and harass anyone who enters, even if they're there for regular gynecological or obstetrical services, because the mob has no idea who's actually there for an abortion, and they don't really care since they're handing out medically-disproven LIES in their pamphlets anyway. Let's talk about the Christian websites that egg on those same protesters until one of them decides to shoot a doctor in the head and bomb a clinic.... or just shoot up a clinic. Let's discuss the rampant racism that's running rife through Evangelical ranks right now, as they cower in fear of starving Syrian refugees who are tired of being bombed and have already gone through 12-18 months of vetting by immigration officials to screen out terrorists! Let's discuss Westboro Baptist. Let's discuss how Christian businesses like Hobby Lobby can disallow coverage for birth control - even though the grounds on which they made that legal decision were scientifically unfounded - and even for married women that need it for other medical reasons than preventing pregnancy (not that it's any business of an employer just what medical conditions their employee has!) Let's discuss how Christians are leading the charge to ban some people from public bathrooms because of "men in dresses" (when there have been more Republican politicians convicted of harassing women in bathrooms in the last three years than transsexuals have EVER been, and the only men in dresses that have been harassing children with alarming frequency are CATHOLIC PRIESTS!) Let's talk about a religion that's so obsessed with what consenting adults do with their genitals in the privacy of their own homes that they want to be able to deny them any kind of services, from cakes to funerals to critical medical services like Plan B, in the name of "religious freedom". Let's talk about a religion that thinks it has the right to dictate what adults can or cannot get married to other adults outside the doors of their own building - despite DEMONSTRABLY having no ownership of the concept of marriage, and denying other, sicker definitions of marriage within the Bible itself (forcing rape victims to marry the men who raped them? classy.)
There is NO OTHER MAJOR RELIGION in this nation that has been as historically coddled, while being dead-on guilty of perpetuating persecution, unethical behavior and abuse on other human beings as the Christian religion group, my friend. And we're tired of taking it while you bash our heads in with your Bibles. We're fed up. If you want to know WHY younger generations are abandoning Christianity, this is why - it's not because kids these days are more evil, it's because they've seen how toxic, manipulative, selfish, controlling and abusive American Christianity has become, at its core, and they want no part of it. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" has turned into "do unto others quickly, before they can get you first". The kindness Jesus preached has become so conditional, with so many strings attached, that it's just not even worth it anymore.
Go worship Christ on your own, or with your flock. Follow your own religious rules - no one begrudges you that. Go in peace. But kindly leave everyone else out of it. We don't have to follow your dogmas, so STOP trying to force them on us legally (or be prepared to meet the ACLU in court!) Leave us alone and let God sort it out later, if he cares to.
And maybe, if any of this has gotten through your head from this former Christian, maybe you could do some self examination and start pushing to clean up the toxic waste dump that is Christianity in America.
Rev. Pedigo seems to overlap the freedom of speech and religion rather conveniently. On an individual level, great, practice what you preach. The problem here is preaching your politics to the masses and making it an ouright political platform for Christians to follow. Much easier than thinking as an individual, right? Our forefathers were smart enough to try to separate church and state, with due cause. How many countries are messed up because they don't separate? Not persecution, common sense.
First of all, I am not sure if you know what free speech means. Freedom to speak a belief does not mean freedom from consequence. That is why politicians often speak so carefully. Second, I am not sure many Christians in America can conceptualize bias and the above comments helps confirm that notion. 83% of Americans identify themselves as Christians. Are you saying that Christians are anti-Christian or are you accusing the other 17% of the population of being so powerful that they are impacting your freedoms. Most intelligent doctrine would say that this is impossible unless that 17% was in complete control. Considering that every elected president over the last 200 years declared themselves Christians openly refutes the notion that 17% is in control. Perhaps its time to find a different complaint as it might be this kind of arrogance that puts others off.
Rev. Thomas Pedigo statement reflects his slanted view of a right wing nut construct. No one is "actively pursuing the elimination of Christian beliefs" while the groups you work are not working for all Christians.
Of course, you can support this with specific examples, keeping in mind that free speech does not include:
*the right to someone else's platform
*the right to someone else's audience
*the right to a captive or cooperative audience
*the right to use government to push your beliefs
*the right to your own facts
*the right to not be criticized
I just went to Bob's old home to tell him an article idea I had last month I could see he no longer lived there. In the past years we would bump into each other on trails and talk for long periods. Ironically, I only found out he died 15 minutes ago when looking at an old photo of a guy on Facebook I know who happened to be reading an independent from Oct. 26 and I could partially see this obituary on that photo in his lap. I've known Bob since he and his wife first came to Colorado Springs. My daughter played with his. My parents actually got to know his family first, often meeting with them in Manitou's Memorial Park so our children could play together. Soon, I got to know him better because Bob was the editor of the Cheyenne .Edition, a paper that I often contributed articles to as President of CMEA.. He was a good and reliable friend, humble about his academic background, always interested in the truth and in making his community and his town a better place. I will miss him.

I have known Stephany for a decade now as a fellow college instructor (Dr. Spaulding) and as a spiritual advisor (Rev. Spaulding). She brings it on ALL levels...whether getting our respective students together for Discussions groups on Race Relations (and other social issues), jointly organizing a social justice political rally, or in seeking prayer and healing in the local community reacting to crazy proposed legislation fit only for the rich and militaristic powerful few. I'm ALL IN when it comes to working with this amazing person of character and strength who is ready to represent ALL of us!

I had a custom AMP stack running fine in a jail.

I accessed this on the local machine with Firefox with no problems.

Then I decided to expose the server to the internet by reconfiguring the network card to use a static IP rather than DHCP because you can't do port forwarding in a router on a DHCP network.

I've gotten this to work fine in the past using a Lynksys router, but now using a Dlink and port forwarding just wouldn't work for some reason. Changing the netcard config also made accessing the server locally MUCH slower, like 15 seconds to access a page. I had this same problem in PCBSD 7.1.1 before - accessing the IP with a browser on the same machine was really slow compared to another PC from the internet. That system did not use a jail - the AMP stack was custom installed directly.

I set everything back to the way it was but it had no effect so I did a complete system upgrade. Now I cannot access the server at all - no response.

I can ping the jail's IP no problem however.

I made no changes to the firewall which enabled the same exceptions as before for HTTP.

Also, after the upgrade from the DVD, the Warden would not run. Got an error stating that the program information could not be found, or something like that. So I reinstalled it and here I am, stuck. Had the same scenario when I upgraded from 7.1.1 to 8 a few weeks ago. Reimported the jail and still not working.

I believe this has nothing to do with the router as the jail's IP is local, right?

Why did changing the net settings block the jail, even after resetting them? What would cause the server to slow down in response so much, before?

...Jeff

The light of halogen lamps is slightly more "whiteish" than incandescent lamps.
The halogen compounds of mercury, we should have mentioned, also sublime, the red iodide giving a yellow sublimate.
It is decomposed by the halogen elements and also by sulphuretted hydrogen.
halogen, hal′o-jen, n. a substance which by combination with a metal forms a saline compound.
halogens do not act directly on water, hence we may not properly speak of halogen substitution products.
Compounds containing oxides and fluorides, &c., do not lend themselves to the method of determining the halogen by difference.
The same as Method 1, except that after ignition of the saponified mixture the halogen was determined by weighing as silver iodid.
halogen acids convert it into monohalogen fatty acids, and the halogens themselves convert it into dihalogen fatty acids.
It combines with the halogen elements with great energy, burning brilliantly in chlorine to form antimony trichloride (SbCl3).
The products in question have the characteristics of solid solutions of the halogen.
general name for elements of the chlorine family, 1842, from Swedish, coined by Swedish chemist Baron Jöns Jakob Berzelius (1779-1848), literally "salt-producer," from Greek hals "salt" (see halo-) + -gen "giving birth to" (see -gen); so called because a salt is formed in reactions involving these four elements.
halogen hal·o·gen (hāl'ə-jən)
Any of a group of five chemically related nonmetallic elements including fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
Any of a group of five nonmetallic elements with similar properties. The halogens are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Because they are missing an electron from their outermost shell, they react readily with most metals to form salts. See Periodic Table.

Post subject: Fracdaddy14's 2016 Mock Offseason/Draft
Head Coach:
Ben McAdoo
Offensive Coordinator:
Mike Sullivan
Defensive Coordinator:
Steve Spagnuola
ROSTER OVERVIEW (Salaries Provided by OTC, FA Contract Estimates from OTC if available):
Eli Manning- $24,200,000
Ryan Nassib- $788,400
- Not much to say here. Eli is entrenched as the starter and Nassib is the backup. The only issue here is deciding whether Nassib has shown enough to be the long-term backup and/or future QB as he is in the last year of his contract.
Also On the Roster
G.J. Kinne- $450,000
Running Backs
Rashad Jennings- $2,812,500
Shane Vereen- $4,916,666
Nikita Whitlock (FB)- $525,000
Orleans Darkwa- ERFA (RESIGN)- $600,000
Kenneth Dixon- $491,928 (DRAFT)
- Shane Vereen remains the passing-down back with Rashad Jennings handling early downs. Andre Williams is just a plodder and his roster spot is in serious jeopardy. Kenneth Dixon was drafted to offer a good alternative to Williams and an all-purpose backup to Jennings. Orleans Darkwa plays well on special teams and has shown at times at RB too. Nikita Whitlock should return at FB and hopefully not have to play DT. It is possible if Whitlock is slow to return, his roster spot could go to another position and a TE could fill in at FB.
Also On Roster
Andre Williams- $713,400 (DOESNT MAKE FINAL CUTS)
Wide Receivers
Odell Beckham- $2,838,054
Victor Cruz- $9,900,000 (RESTRUCTURED)
Dwayne Harris- $3,800,000
Geremy Davis- $556,771
Rishard Matthews- 4yrs, $18m- ($4,500,000 Cap Hit)
Pharoh Cooper- $620,125 (DRAFT)
- The Giants were running 3-WR sets with Myles White and Ben Edwards. That should not be allowed to happen again. Victor Cruz should return with a restructured contract to lower his overall salary. With Odell Beckham and Dwayne Harris returning, the position should be supplemented with a free agent and a draft pick. Rishard Matthews, Marvin Jones, and Mohammed Sanu are free agents options who should be targeted. Matthews broke out in 2015 and would provide a good compliment to OBJ. Cooper or Sterling Shepherd would provide Cruz insurance and another option for multi-WR sets we may see more of this year. There should be a spot for a 6th WR and Geremy Davis wins it because he was a Reece draft pick.
Also On Roster
Ben Edwards- $450,000 (DOESNT MAKE FINAL CUTS)
Tavarres King- $600,000 (DOESNT MAKE FINAL CUTS)
Free Agents
Marcus Harris- ERFA (LET GO)
Myles White- ERFA (RESIGNED- DOESNT MAKE FINAL CUTS)
Hakeem Nicks- UFA (LET GO)
Rueben Randle- UFA (LET GO)
Tight End
Will Tye- ERFA- $600,000 (RESIGNED)
Larry Donnell- RFA- $1,526,000 (RESIGNED)
Garrett Celek- 2yrs, $2.5m ($1,250,000 Cap Hit)
- Tye and Donnell return. There are some decent cheap options at TE in free agency such as Garrett Celek, James Hanna, Craig Stevens, and Logan Paulson. Martellus Bennett may be cut and could return as well. Giants should target 1-2 overall.
Also On Roster
Matt LaCrosse- $450,000 (DOESNT MAKE FINAL CUTS)
Free Agents
Jerome Cunningham- ERFA (RESIGNED- DOESNT MAKE FINAL CUTS)
Weston Richburg- $1,330,185
Brett Jones- $450,000
- Richburg established himself as a top C. Jones will be in the mix for the backup job and may win it if healthy.
Also On Roster
Sean McDermott- $450,000 (DOESNT MAKE FINAL CUTS)
Free Agents
Dallas Reynolds- UFA (LET GO)
Justin Pugh- $2,655,513
John Jerry- $1,900,000
Bobby Hart- $542,897
Kelechi Osemele- 5yrs, $40m ($8,000,000 Cap Hit)
- Osemele is the big acquisition I've put in. Geoff Schwartz is good when healthy, but that is never the case. I like him, but we can't count on him. Osemele is a top OG who even played OT at various times. As Eli gets older, he would solidify our OL. Pugh played very well moving to OG. He will get a contract extension, but has an extra year left with the 5th year option. Bobby Hart is the player I'm hoping takes a step forward, even if its just as a 6th OL. Jerry isn't what you want, but he is versatile, not that terrible, and already under contract.
Also On Roster
Geoff Schwartz- $4,908,333 (CUT)
Free Agents
Brandon Mosley- UFA (LET GO)
Adam Gettis- RFA (LET GO)
Offensive Tackles
Ereck Flowers- $3,270,871
Will Beatty- $9,175,000
Marshall Newhouse- $1,700,000
- With Beatty healthy, the same projected trio for last year returns. Beatty should be the RT with Flowers staying at LT. Flowers's potential improvements aided by health have me very excited.
Also On Roster
Emmett Cleary- $525,000 (DOESNT MAKE FINAL CUTS)
Jake Rodgers- $450,000 (DOESNT MAKE FINAL CUTS)
Defensive Tackles
Jonathan Hankins- $1,282,491 (SIGNED TO CONTRACT EXTENTION)
Jay Bromley- $805,969
Barry Cofield- UFA (RESIGNED)- 1yr, $870,000
Derek Wolfe- 5yrs, $35m ($7,000,000 Cap Hit)
- Big Hank is established as a great starter, but another pocket-pushing DT would really help. Assuming Denver resigns Malik Jackson, Derek Wolfe should be that target. A 3-4 DE, he should fit in naturally at UT. He would be a big aid to our DL. Jay Bromley became a solid rotational player. A leader-type veteran should round out the unit. Barry Cofield makes as much sense as anyone, but this can be a number of guys. Just as long as Markus Kuhn isn't one of them.

Robert Ayers- UFA (RESIGNED)- 2yrs, $8m ($4,000,000 CAP HIT)
Shaq Lawson- $2,654,937 (DRAFT)
Justin Tuck- 1yr, $4m ($4,000,000 Cap Hit)
- Owa is already in tow and Shaq Lawson drafted in the 1st round, we have a pair of DEs for the future. I'd like to add veterans on either side to compliment and teach our young guys. Robert Ayers returns to team with Owa at RDE and the Tuck returns from his Oakland exodus to team with Shaq Lawson at LDE. Kerry Wynn stays on for depth and to be the run-stopper. With young talent and solid vets mixed, JPP will be allowed to walk.

Jonathan Casillas- $3,166,666
Danny Trevathan- 5yrs, $26m ($5,200,000 Cap Hit)
Tyler Matakevich- $566,238 (DRAFT)
Victor Ochi- $466,770 (DRAFT)
- Like Schwartz, Beason just can't be counted on. Whether he retires or not, he is gone. Leadership is needed up and down the roster. Danny Trevathan was added in free agency (assuming Broncos resign Brandon Marshall) and Temple LB Tyler Matakevich in the draft. Kennard stays on at SLB. J.T. Thomas and Jonathan Casillas are versatile and will be backups. Victor Ochi has potential as a pass-rushing SLB and fulfills our Stony Brook rookie quota.
On the Roster
Jon Beason- $6,566,668 (CUT)
Uani Unga- $525,000 (DOESNT MAKE FINAL CUTS)

Jaspar Brinkley- UFA (LET GO)
Landon Collins- $1,391,036
Nat Behre- $648,000
Mykkele Thompson- $492,614
Reggie Nelson- 2yrs, $11m ($5,500,000 Cap Hit)
- Collins would be best served moving to SS permanently and Reggie Nelson would allow that. Tashaun Gipson is a possibility, but I have enough long-term deals in this mock. We can look to groom a future FS, but a veteran should be added. Nelson was also a captain and Cincinnati and we need leadership. Behre and Thompson look good enough to make the team as backups if healthy.
Also On Roster
Cooper Taylor- $600,000 (DOESNT MAKE FINAL CUTS)
Justin Currie- $450,000 (DOESNT MAKE FINAL CUTS)

Bennett Jackson- ERFA (RESIGNED- DOESNT MAKE FINAL CUTS)

Tevin Wade- $675,000
Trumaine McBride- UFA (RESIGNED)- 2yrs, $3m ($1,500,000 Cap Hit)
Eli Apple-$ 986,879 (DRAFT)
Kyle Wilson- 2yrs, $4m ($2,000,000 Cap Hit)
- Like every year, the CB position was derailed by injuries. Prince can't stay healthy for a full year, but he is great when healthy. With CBs at a high cost, resigning Prince makes sense. Apple is raw, but provides a potential shut-down CB that could replace DRC in a year. A free agent slot-CB like Kyle Wilson along with Trumaine McBride and Tevin Wade provide depth.
Also On Roster
Jayron Hosley- $796,250 (DOESNT MAKE FINAL CUTS)
Tramain Jacobs- $600,000 (DOESNT MAKE FINAL CUTS)
Leon McFadden- $675,000 (DOESNT MAKE FINAL CUTS)
LS- Mark Herzalich- $1,400,000
K- Josh Brown- UFA (RESIGNED)- 1yr, $1.5m
P- Thomas Morstead- 2yrs, $4m ($2,000,000 Cap Hit)
- Brad Wing is a decent punter, but Josh Brown is a consistent kicker who should return. Brown, however, is not great on kickoffs. With the Saints in a major cap crunch, Thomas Morstead is a likely victim. Morstead would be just as good as a P and would provide an upgrade on KOs. This would help the defense with field position. Herzalich is already signed and should get a look at LS. DeOssie is coming off an injury and is a FA.

Round 1
Shaq Lawson- DE- 62- 270- Clemson
STRENGTHS: Lawson's compact frame and power make him equally effective against the run and the pass, where he shows surprising initial quickness and agility as well as a terrific motor. He has quick, strong hands to create push with his upper-body strength, showing the fluid lower body to drive his legs and smoothly change directions based on his reads.
Lawson is terrific leveraging blocks off the edge, using an iron shoulder and natural body flexibility to dictate his path and beat single blocks. Does a nice job setting the edge and playing contain, working off his blocks to the outside and finishing in space.
WEAKNESSES: Lawson needs to do a better job with his recoil to reset and react to inside runs.
IN OUR VIEW: Lawson's heavy hands allow him to stack and hold his side of the line of scrimmage. He is a power player with the lower body athleticism to be equally dominant against the run and the pass, putting his draft value in the early rounds.
Round 2
Eli Apple- CB- 61- 200- Ohio St
STRENGTHS: Tall, athletic frame with long arms and solid build. Coordinated athlete to bracket receivers downfield and consistently stay in phase. Controlled hop and footwork in his transition, using clean hip motion to mirror in man coverage.
Disruptive and uses his length to keep receivers uncomfortable. Highly aggressive at the catch point with a "my ball" mentality. Competitive and not shy to take on blocks or throw his body around as a run defender. Physical once engaged to shed blockers on the perimeter.
Improved route anticipation and field/sideline leverage while in man coverage. Tough-minded with a short memory, not allowing negative plays linger. Survivor mentality and developed strong work habits at a young age. Battle-tested with experience in man and zone coverage.
WEAKNESSES: Too hands-on downfield and lacks savvy at the top of routes. Obvious target for penalties due to undisciplined hand placement, grabbing too much cloth. Experienced in press coverage at the line of scrimmage, but needs to improve his balance and jam technique. Tends to open his hips too early and struggles to recognize routes from bail position, creating too much of a cushion and allowing too many comeback completions.
Plays too fast in pursuit, leading to overaggressive angles and missed tackles. Needs to improve his feel for the ball when back is to the line of scrimmage, struggling with timing.
IN OUR VIEW: Apple possesses several traits for the cornerback position that translate well to the next level with his size, length and athleticism. Apple isn't afraid to be physical and contest at the top of routes, but he's still learning what he can get away with and what will draw flags - desired length for the position, but NFL teams will be forced to live and die with his hands-on contact while he figures it out.
He is also an aggressive run defender, but needs to be more measured with his break down mechanics as a tackler. Apple is still very young and with that comes discipline issues, but he consistently stays in phase in press or off-man coverage and has upside.
Round 3
Pharoh Cooper- WR- 511- 208- South Carolina
STRENGTHS: As his production indicates, Cooper served as a jack-of-all trades for the Gamecocks and projects as a similarly versatile player in the NFL.
Shows vision, subtle cuts and balance to absorb a hit and keep his feet, traits which will help him maintain a steady role as a returner. He's quick to the hole, wasting no time dancing and accelerates smoothly.
Cooper generally has good hands, exhibiting impressive body control and hand-eye coordination to pluck throws from outside of his frame. He appears to be more comfortable coming back toward the ball rather than tracking it over his shoulder at this time.
He was even utilized often as a wildcat quarterback in 2015 to take advantage of his versatility.
WEAKNESSES: Cooper wasn't asked to run many complicated routes in South Carolina's offense, often going in motion for quick dump-offs, quick-screens or verticals. Does not possess the elite breakaway speed that his five career scores of 70-plus yards would indicate. Not stout enough to routinely handle carries at the next level. Ball protection could be an issue.
When asked to run more intricate routes like post-corners, Cooper shows that he's still a work in progress as a route-runner, shuffling rather than exploding out of his cuts.
COMPARES TO: Golden Tate, Lions - Cooper reminds of the Lions' all-purpose standout physically, using a combination of agility, ballskills and toughness to make plays as a runner, receiver and returner.
IN OUR VIEW: Cooper is an electric athlete in the open field with light feet and creative moves to easily redirect his momentum without slowing down. And those change of direction skills allow him to separate in his routes with the speed and vision to eliminate pursuit angles. Cooper lacks ideal size and strength, but can impact the game in several ways on offense and special teams, which boosts his NFL value.
Round 4
Tyler Matakevich- LB- 60- 232- Temple
STRENGTHS: The unquestioned leader of the Owls, Matakevich doesn't play with hesitation, showing terrific first step quickness and anticipation to read and react with little wasted movement. He takes smart angles with strong hands to make finger-tip tackles and take-on blocks, shedding to unglue himself from bodies.
Matakevich has terrific timing as a blitzer (four sacks) and plays like a controlled mad man, hitting another gear once he sees red. He also does a nice job floating in zone coverage to attack throwing lanes and break up throws .
WEAKNESSES: Matakevich isn't physically impressive with average size and athleticism, although he makes up for his lack of quick-twitch change of direction with smart movements. He will be overaggressive at times and abandon run lanes, biting on play fakes and struggling to make off-balanced tackles.
IN OUR VIEW: Matakevich is extremely physical, which will work against him at times, but his football awareness and hustle jump off the screen as the unquestioned leader of one of the country's top defenses.
Round 5
Kenneth Dixon- RB- 510- 212- Louisiana Tech
STRENGTHS: Compact build and has enough body armor to take punishment. Balanced athlete with controlled quickness to make sharp cuts in short areas. Not explosive, but patient with excellent vision and feel to pick through a crowd.
Runs and reads with decisiveness. Physical when going north-south to keep his feet and gain every inch, giving it all he has on each run. Knows where the chains are and understands situational football. Heady, tough blocker, using his base strength and a mean attitude, identifying blitzers pre-snap. Reliable hands as a pass-catcher and will run routes.
Passionate self-starter and hard-nosed. Proven and durable workhorse as a four-year starter, always running energetic into the fourth quarter. Highly productive as the school's all-time leading rusher (4,480).
WEAKNESSES: Lacks the frame to add more bulk. Only average initial burst and acceleration and not a sudden athlete. Lacks elusive qualities and will struggle to create his own yardage, dancing too much and getting himself in trouble going east-west. Will take some wasted steps at times.
Average-at-best downfield speed with only one gear. Needs to show more consistent pad level and stay parallel to ground level - bad habit of dipping his shoulder to fend off contact. Lacks ideal power to consistently break tackles. Ball security needs improvements with 14 career fumbles.
Has a lot of wear and tear on his body with almost 900 career touches on offense. Several minor dings on his medical report, including missing a pair of games in 2015 due to a sore ankle.
IN OUR VIEW: Dixon was consistently productive and efficient over his Louisiana Tech career, averaging 5.6 yards per rush and 11.0 yards per catch and became the school's all-time leading rusher as a junior. There isn't much that separates him athletically as a runner with only average size, burst and power, but he understands the subtleties of the position with the vision, decision-making and toughness to get every yard he can.
Dixon might never be a bell-cow starter in the NFL, but he will be a quality addition to a running back committee with his well-rounded run style to contribute as a receiver and blocker in pass protection.
Round 6
Victor Ochi- LB- 62- 250- Stony Brook
STRENGTHS: Well-built throughout his core with a strong upper body to abuse blockers with his hands. He launches himself out of his stance and doesn't lose momentum in his rush, dipping and ripping to fend off edge blockers and shave the corner.
Ochi tracks the ball well to mirror vs. the run and plays with the play speed and motor that makes him tough to contain, especially against FCS competition.
WEAKNESSES: Shorter than ideal. His movements lack twitch and he needs to improve his snap anticipation.
IN OUR VIEW: Ochi has attracted attention from NFL scouts and should receive an invitation to the Senior Bowl or another pre-draft all-star game.

Kyle Wilson isn't really a name I've seen before but would be a nice depth pickup. I highly doubt we let Brad Wing go. He played better than decent last year. I'd personally leave Beatty at LT and let Flowers take over in another year or so. Let's leverage his physicality to dominate the right side while he improves technically. The weakest part I see is the DEs. We'd be relying a lot on a rookie and on Ayers. To me, Ayers only had a great statistical year because JPP came back and took the attention off Ayers. In your mock, Ayers would be the #1 DE and would effectively disappear. It also puts way too much faith in OO working out. He has the upside but injuries have kept him off the field. With the Giants luck, OO and Tuck go down with injuries before they even play a down that counts and now we're looking at Ayers, Wynn and the rookie. That is very dangerous.
Love some of the other FA pickups though.

Tyler Matakevich is a maniac, i love the way he plays. Very aggressive and a good blitzing LB.
not sold on Lawson
I like Matthews but I dont see the need. With OBJ, Cruz, Randle (LOL JK), Cooper, Harris, and davis, I'd rather spend else where

Not cool, I liked Wolfe better than Jackson, but so did the Broncos I guess. But basically I'll substitute Malik Jackson then in this mock. Both are really good players.

regardless of anyone's opinion on this forum Cruz will be back next year. And taking Cooper would be huge an eliminate any need for a WR in FA. Our offense wasnt the issue this season, spend on defense. OBJ, Cruz, Harris and Cooper would be pretty solid. Watch some tape on cooper and you will see my point

Elaborate? Ok so we're gonna give Tuck 4mil, when we barely wanted to give him 2mill, 2yrs ago?
The effort you put in to this im not degrading. Its just a lackluster mock, and i pormised this offseason we have will mirror the Eagles "dream team" season. We are officially in win now mode.
Cruź shouldnt be cut unless he refuse a pay cut

I'm working on a mock offseason myself and it's not easy when we have so many holes. Then to put it together with as much detail and presentation as this. Hats off to you bro. I might not agree with some of the moves but to say it's the worst mock ever is pretty rough and far from the truth. I appreciate the work gone into this.

Agreed. Restructures don't really make sense for these guys. You restructure when you need cap space and you push it into guaranteed money down the line. We don't need cap space this year. We simply need to make smart moves. Pushing their guaranteed money years down the road when we need to sign Jonathan Hankins, OBJ in a couple years, and all the offensive lineman we've drafted in the past few years, doesn't make sense.
I do think they both will take light pay cuts though.

Tweets from @TBHomeTeam/writers
MORE from our HomeTeam writers.
Sat. April 13, 2013 | Joey Knight | Email
Jesuit guard Devin Harris, arguably the most versatile player from the Tigers' Class 5A state championship team, confirmed Saturday he has committed to East Tennessee State.
Harris becomes the fourth member of the team -- so far -- who will compete athletically in college. The others: shooting guard Jack Fleming (Colgate), point guard J.J. Weir (Rhodes College) and center Travis Johnson (Cincinnati, for football).
Though ETSU was Harris' only substantial offer, he generated significant interest as the season progressed. Jesuit coach Neal Goldman said he ultimately declined visits and/or workouts from Georgetown, Wyoming and UCF because of his encouraging visit to ETSU, where he has a chance to contribute immediately to the Atlantic Sun Conference program.
"I fit in well with the team and the coaching staff is great!" Harris said via text message Saturday night. "I also fit well in their system and I love the city (Johnson City, Tenn.)."
A lean 6-foot-4 matchup nightmare on the perimeter, Harris averaged 15.5 points, six rebounds, 2.4 steals and 3.5 assists, earning Times first-team All-Hillsborough County honors.
He also was the team's best free-throw shooter (76 percent) among the starters, hitting 14 of 16 in a three-night stretch in wins against Berkeley Prep and Tampa Catholic.
He'll join a program with firm bay area roots. Buccaneers assistant Scott Wagers, who observed Harris at the 5A state tournament in Lakeland, is Robinson's former coach; and former Sickles star Rashawn Rembert just finished his sophomore season.
