All-around porn princess Asa Akira is unashamed and unabashed about loving her wild and outrageous onscreen adult-movie career. This year, she tops all of her sexual shenanigans co-hosting the 30th anniversary AVN Awards at The Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel on Saturday.
"I have so much fun with sex onscreen. I do everything," said the "Insatiable" star who cleaned up at last year's awards with trophies for eight sex scenes, surpassing the seven she took home in 2011.
Her winning body-part categories can't be referenced here, but suffice to say, they range from Best Tease Performance to Best Group Sex Scene to Best All Sex Release. She received a standing ovation last year -- and a ton of laughs -- when she thanked a rear body part for putting up with her acrobatic achievements.
The New Yorker who is Japanese-American has skyrocketed to adult-film success. At 5'2," her exotic looks, sexy curves and wild sex scenes have made her a pint-sized powerhouse and given her an extraordinary fan following. The "Insatiable" series also has led to her nickname, Insatiable.
As she prepared her wardrobe and packing for the Adult Entertainment Expo that opens here Wednesday and continues through Saturday's "Oscars of Porn," Asa told me: "It is so flattering to be invited to host. I remember the first year I got into porn, Jenna Haze and Belladonna were hosting the AVN Awards. I remember being there and thinking, 'Wow, these girls have really made it.'
"It really is such a high honor to be asked to host the awards. It is the biggest; it is the Oscars of our industry. Being a girl, the first thing I thought of when I was invited was, 'What am I going to wear?' I got one dress while on vacation in Europe and then bought more in New York. I'm prepared and ready with three outfit changes.
"I'm very happy about what we'll do Saturday, but it's 50-50 being between nervous and excited. I am so excited to go up onstage and host the awards in front of all my co-workers, but I am also nervous I am going to trip over my dress or mess up the words."
Asa is nominated for 15 awards -- Performer of the Year and Best Website are the only two family-friendly ones I can mention -- and she can win as show host.
She told me: "I definitely have seen past hosts winning. I also think when you are asked to host the awards, it means you are at the top of your game, at the height of your career, so it makes sense that the hosts are nominated, as well."
She will be signing at the Elegant Angel booth for three hours a day Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Her first two films in the "Insatiable" trilogy won several awards, and she's hoping the third, which is nominated in multiple categories this year, will be the big winner. She got into porn after being discovered by Bubba the Love Sponge on Sirius when Howard Stern joined the network.
"I was at a strip club dancing in New York, so in a sense I was already in the adult entertainment world. I quit stripping to join the radio show, but I didn't really see it as comedy. I was just kind of going with the flow, and it seemed interesting. I never danced in Las Vegas, but I have many connections to Sin City because of my work."
Asa's co-host is former Hawaiian Tropic beauty Jesse Jane, and we'll have our interview with her Wednesday as AEE opens its first day strictly for trade. Fans get to tour starting Thursday.
Coincidentally, Jesse also is 5'2." Asa said: "I don't know her exact height, but she is definitely short. I notice when other girls are short because, as a short person, you see that immediately. We are pint-sized and really pack a punch!
"It is funny because whenever people meet me in person, one of the first things they tell me is, 'Wow you are so short, you are so much shorter than I had imagined.' I think it is because the guys in porn, our male performers, also are short. So, in comparison, I think that I look like an average-height person, but onscreen you always look taller. It's the angles because they shoot from down low, but the guys being short helps, too.
"I really love what I do onscreen. Honestly, … what's not to love?! I have always been a really sexual person. I am living out my fantasy. I have always wanted to be in the industry. I grew up listening to Howard Stern, so porn has always been glamorized in my head. As weird as it sounds, I always knew I wanted to be a part of this world.
"I get to have casual sex with a variety of people, and I get to do things that I never would have been able to do in my personal life. You can't print some of the things I do. Well, maybe you can say gangbangs. I get to do it with safe, tested people in a controlled environment. To me, it is the ideal situation. If I hadn't done porn, I would always look back and think, 'Man, I wish I did that.' "
Asa celebrates her fifth year in porn in March. I had to ask how long she'll keep on, ahem, trucking. "I don't really have a set amount of time. When I got in, I thought I would do it for a couple of years to get it out of my system. Now, I am going to stop doing it when it stops being fun. It is still fun, so I don't really see a reason to quit.
"The awards show will be a fun fashion night. Ever since I got into porn, I don't dress quite as slutty as I used to. I think there's something about being in porn and showing my inner organs on a daily basis to the world -- I don't feel the need to show so much cleavage or any of that, so they are not over-the-top sexy.
"My first dress, the long gown, is a Cavalli dress. It is just all black, really beautiful and elegantly sexy, and then my two dresses after that are really fun, kind of glittery, Vegas nightclub party time -- but nothing that revealing."
Asa says that she loves Las Vegas and the day will come when she will get married here. "I'm going to take some time out when I am in Vegas and check out your wedding chapels. I will know when the day comes to stop being the ever-single porn star and will just rush over and get married."
Later today, we'll post a Royal Robin Rundown of the porn princesses' invasion and with it the sexpo events, awards and parties. Then on Wednesday, our interview with co-host Jesse Jane and on Thursday Sunset Thomas' tour of the AEE convention floor.

Arguably one the coolest joints in town, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino houses some of Vegas' best entertainment, restaurants and nightlife.
At Hard Rock, it's all about the music. From the light fixtures made out of drum cymbals and guitar shaped door handles to stage costumes and tools of the trade of legendary musicians displayed on the walls, the hotel screams rock and roll. The Hard Rock's Joint has hosted some the biggest names in music — from The Who to Bob Dylan to hometown heroes, The Killers.Aside from the music venues, the pool at the Hard Rock is one of its biggest attractions. Spread out over 4.7 acres, the pool area features swim-up blackjack, a bar and grill, private cabanas, a bevy of secluded nooks, a waterfall and an extensive live music venue with a dance floor. During the summer, the pool transforms into the Rehab club on Sunday afternoons.
The resident nightclub Body English fuses European elegance with a rock star bachelor pad and it often a hot spot for visiting celebs and popular DJs. Vintage rock memorabilia lines the walls at Wasted Space, Hard Rock's anti-club.
Restaurants at Hard Rock are just as hip as the rest of the casino. Pink Taco serves up Mexican dishes, as well as a Central American and Caribbean menu. Nobu, one of five worldwide Japanese-specialty restaurants from famed Nobu Matsuhisa, satisfies a different taste. For round-the-clock cuisine, Mr. Lucky's 24/7, is sure to ease your appetite even after a Vegas-all-nighter.

Tex Avery, considered the father of screwball animation, was one of the most influential animators of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Creator of such classic characters as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Droopy, he directed many cartoons for Warner Bros., MGM, and Walter Lantz Productions and was nominated for six Academy Awards.
Avery did much of his groundbreaking work in Hollywood, running the famous "Termite Terrace" animation studio. There, with a team that included fellow innovators Chuck Jones and Bob Clampett, Avery developed an animation style based on the idea that the artist could do anything in a cartoon and didn't need to base it in reality. Although Avery was blind in one eye, he did not let it hold him back. Known for his inventiveness and comic timing, he forged a legacy that influences animators today.
Tex Avery: Hollywood's Master of Screwball Cartoons illustrates this animation pioneer's life, his inspiration, and his lasting effect on the animation world.
Check out all of the titles in the Legends of Animation series.

"This is voiced by a computer!!!!!"
Shame n you audible....such a dull read , give me my money back!!!!!
Its a computer right?
I love listening to audiobooks with my three compadres: two sweet tabby cats and a Great Dane!
"An Amazing Legacy"
What I loved best about Tex Avery was his humility. I really enjoyed how this audiobook went all the way back to his beginnings in Taylor, Texas. I learned a lot about Tex Avery but something that really stood out was that he was a lineal descendent of both Judge Roy Bean and Daniel Boone. Tex made "What's up Doc" a standard salutaion in the mainstream of society.
I don't know of any other books I would compare this one to other than the other Legends of Animation Series books.
His performance was fine. He kept a steady pace and was easy to understand. I enjoyed his work very much.
If I were to make a film of this book, the tag line would be the title. "Tex Avery: Hollywood's Master of Screwball Cartoons".
I received this audiobook foc in exchange for an unbiased review.

Big Pine Shorty's is a clean, cozy cabin with access to a small quiet lake in the wild heart of the Superior National Forest. It's only about 8 miles from the southern boundary of the B.W.C.A. The lakefront is just a short walk down the hill. A perfect place to commune with nature, reconnect with family and restore your spirit. If you are planning a wild party weekend, please seek different accommodations. Big red and white pines tower overhead, providing nesting habitat for eagles, osprey, owls and kestrels. This simple, clean, cozy cabin has a genuine 'northwoods' feel. We even throw in a CANOE and FIREWOOD. Silent recreation for all seasons at our simple little cottage in the woods.
If you are looking for a quiet, secluded wilderness escape, you have found it. Even with a very adequate public boat launch less than a minute away, there is no such thing as 'rush hour' on pristine Lake Gegoka. Speedboats, tubing and jet skis are definitely out of character here. This sparkling clean little 150 acre lake offers fishing, canoeing, swimming and just plain gazing out at. Our complimentary canoe provides a perfect way to explore the lake. The dock down at the shoreline is available to cast your line from or could accommodate your own small fishing boat launched from the public landing just around the corner. Lake Gegoka is a shallow sandy bottomed lake and warms up early in the summer. Just a few minutes away is a little used public swimming area on Flathorn Lake (connects to Gegoka). There is a very scenic hiking trail around it and a picnic area with water pump, grills, tables and a brand new vault toilet.
Lake Superior's North Shore is only about 30 minutes away and provides many opportunities for day trips, including Split Rock Lighthouse tours, the Superior Hiking Trail and some of Minnesota's most popular State Parks. It's a great place to cool down on a warm day inland and grab a bite to eat or a special souvenir. Ely is a 45 minute drive and has a variety of good restaurants and unique gift shops. This lively little town is the jumping off point for Boundary Waters Canoe Area trips and has some great attractions for rainy or sunny days. Both the International Wolf Center and the North American Bear Center are great places to learn about 2 of the area's wild residents. The Soudan Mine tour is a fascinating look back in time to 'hard rock' underground mining on the Range in the early 1900's.
Love my job as a lodging host. I wear many hats and pretty much enjoy most of them (especially the bomber!)
Andy Fisher purchased this cabin in 2008
Location, location, location. The woods and lake are beautiful and pristine!
We're easy to get to but far from the noise and lights. Lots of Minnesota's rare and shy wildlife hangs out right in the surrounding Superior National Forest. You can even see the stars (all of them!). Peace & quiet...
Our family enjoyed our time here. It fullfiled our needs. My only complaint is the map to the location. It would have been better to know the exact miles to the destination once we got to Isabella as well as signage information. We drove right past it because the map we were given had no street names. But, we were able to figure it out and it was a good cabin for the price.
This was a perfect getaway from busy city life. We caught the colors at their peak and enjoyed many beautiful hikes. The cabin was so cozy to come home to and it had everything we needed to make delicious meals (aka edible due to low chef skill haha). It was so refreshing to disconnect and enjoy a good book and the great outdoors. Cannot wait to get back!
I was hoping for a quiet week & it was very peaceful. I wasn't looking for anything too fancy & this fit the bill. Thank you.
always a pleasure to stay at the national forest lodge. peaceful getaway ...thanks Andy
This little cabin housed our family of six with no problem, the great location and the well maintained area made for a wonderful week of relaxation. Trails are a stone away from your front door and the views are magnificent. A short walk to the water's edge, will brings you to a pristine lake, although no beach, it makes for a perfect site to jump into the lake after a hot sting in the sauna. You have access to a canoe and a paddle boat that makes exploring the lake so much more enjoyable.
Short drive North to Ely MN and all the attractions, we visited the International Wolf center as well as the North American Bear Center. One of our kids' highlights was the Dorothy Molter Museum and their famous Root Beer. To the South the Tettegouche State Park near Lake Superior and the beautiful High falls trail right next to Baptism River.
There is no doubt on my mind we will be back again.
Thanks Andy & Lura for a wonderful opportunity to make such of great memories.
Cute and efficient stay! Would definitely be returning and staying longer in order to enjoy the sauna and canoe on the lake.
For those who enjoy nature and being close to it, this is the ideal getaway. In this remote corner of Superior National Forest, wildlife is abundant. Moose roam the area, and on occasion have been seen swimming in our lake. Timber wolves, pine martin, foxes, fishers and many other shy forest creatures are seen and heard. The surrounding area is very sparsely populated and offers many opportunities for exploring. The U.S. Forest Service maintains a number of hiking trails, picnic areas and public accesses to lakes large and small. Day trips to the B.W.C.A. wilderness are also an option.
Other Activities: shopping in Ely, kayaking, wildlife viewing, boating, cross country skiing, snowshoeing
Ski: Direct access to 30K of groomed, single tracked classic cross country ski trails. Flathorn/Gegoka trail system. No skijoring. Also designated snowshoe trails.

Mario Lopez Wishes You A Very Merry Christmass
Mario Lopez's wife Courtney tweeted this picture of him decorating the Christmas tree with their daughter Gia. I mean, I wish for his daughter's sake that he was wearing something a little less bikini and a little more boxer-brief, but still, there's no arguing … that's a very nice view from behind. I think someone needs his own underwear line. [WOW]

Rating: * * * *
Think of any feature you could possibly want in a street racing game and Juiced has it. It enhances the feature in ways you've only dreamed about, then throws in a few more you'd never imagined possible.
All 49 cars can be modified beyond recognition with hundreds of licensed car parts. Pearlescent paint jobs and beautiful body kits help you to gain respect, but it's the components under the hood that win races.
You can upgrade the nitro system, replace the turbo kit and even overhaul the air filters - you name it, it can be tweaked. Don't get too wild, though, as it's possible to build an overpowered rocket that handles like a block of butter on an ice rink.
There's even a dynamometer to chart how powerful your creation has become. The gorgeous cars show off your handiwork, but the trackside scenery isn't quite as jaw-dropping.
To buy parts you need to win cool, hard cash on the streets, which means you need to win races. It's not all simple circuit racing, with freestyle tasks, straight-out drags and a couple of other race types. Winning these events gives your wallet a healthy top-up, but if you feel daring why not lay a wager with some of the other racers?
When you're especially confident, you can even bet your car, a feature that will prove incredibly popular in the comprehensive online mode.
As your career progresses, you can build up a crew of other racers, but you'll need to carefully match these drivers to their cars.
The driving is a nice blend between realism and arcade, but it's always furiously fast. However, it can get frustratingly difficult; it's hard to catch the pack if you've lost them.
The DIStress feature allows you to freak out your opponents by tailgating - do it for a while and they'll lose their nerve and start making errors. A respect system judges you on wins, driving flair and how considerate you are to fellow racers.
We told you it was feature packed!

Game preview
X-Men Legends
Runs on: PlayStation2, Xbox, GameCube
Marvel's magnificent mutants are now celebrated stars of the big screen, but their gaming exploits have been anything but super. X-Men Legends should change that: it's as sharp as Wolverine's blades.
Most X-Men games have been generic beat 'em ups, but Legends showcases the uncanny heroes in an action-fuelled, role-playing romp. Four characters from a team of 15, including Wolverine and Nightcrawler, complete each mission.
You can switch between the four members of your squad at any time while battling the comic-book adversaries and can use a range of powerful combination moves. Players can also give basic directions to team-mates.
Each hero has unique hand-to-hand combat manoeuvres plus special abilities. For example, Rogue can fly and has amazing strength, Cyclops can zap enemies with his laser-like eyes and Magma hurls fireballs.
The special powers are not just for combat, they also enable players to solve puzzles and access new areas. You could command Iceman to build an ice bridge to cross a barrier or simply use one of the flying characters to give colleagues a lift.
The character's abilities can be upgraded as you progress through the game. There are many customisation options and extra equipment to enhance their powers; players who just want action can choose automatic upgrades.
The vibrant environments include a variety of indoor and outdoor locations, plus lots of destructible objects and scenery. The story was penned by former X-Men comic writers and is told through cinematic sequences. Patrick Stewart provides the reassuring voice of telepathic leader Professor Xavier.
As many as four friends can play together, taking over from a computer-controlled character at any time.
The only concern is that the action might be too chaotic, with four mutants, opponents, explosions and flotsam constantly littering the screen.

Comment Record

Mrs. Beth M. Davis
Dietary Supplement Industry
Comments for FDA General
1. Are there arguments for regulating speech about drugs more comprehensively than, for example, about dietary supplements? What must an administrative record contain to sustain such a position? In particular, could FDA sustain a position that certain promotional speech about drugs is inherently misleading, unless it complies with FDA requirements? Does anything turn on whether the speech is made to learned intermediaries or to consumers? What is the evidentiary basis of such a distinction?
It is imperative that the people retain the Constitutional right to freedom of choice and speech regarding personal health. We are guaranteed this right under the Constitution and no agency or commission can infringe on that right. The standard must be that we communicate accurate and documented information.
2. Is FDA's current position regarding direct-to-consumer and other advertisements consistent with empirical research on the effects of those advertisements, as well as with relevant legal authority? What are the positive and negative effects, if any, of industry's promotion of prescription drugs, biologics, and/or devices? Does the current regulatory approach and its implementation by industry lead to over-prescription of drugs? Do they increase physician visits or patient compliance with medication regimes? Do they cause patient visits that lead to treatment for under-diagnosed diseases? Does FDA's current approach and its implementation by industry lead to adequate treatment for under-diagnosed diseases? Do they lead to adequate patient understanding of the potential risks associated with use of drugs? Does FDA's current approach and its implementation by industry create any impediments to the ability of doctors to give optimal medical advice or prescribe optimal treatment?
I do not wish to sound cynical, nor do I desire to risk that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) close its ears to my comments. Nevertheless, may I respectfully suggest that the FDA is hardly in a position to render a neutral judgment in any issue involving prescription drugs and natural food supplements or alternative health therapy. First, the FDA and all governmental representatives must "get out of bed" with the drug and insurance industries and open the avenue for researchers to freely communicate their findings with the public and compete for research funding. Subsequently, caveat emptor—let the buyer beware. Without the free communication of information, the buyer has no opportunity to "be aware."
3. May FDA distinguish claims concerning conventional foods from those relating to dietary supplements, taking into account limits on claims that can be made about foods in the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act, 21 U.S.C. 301, 321, 337, 343, 371? What must an administrative record contain to sustain or deny claims on food labels? How can information best be presented in a succinct but non-misleading fashion? To what extent do assertions in claims need qualifications or disclaimers added to the label to avoid any misconceptions that consumers may draw? Is there a basis to believe that consumers approach claims about conventional foods and dietary supplements differently?
First, let the FDA inform the public about the truth regarding the difference between whole, natural food products and synthetic counterfeits such as ascorbic acid versus vitamin C. It doesn't take a molecular biologist or organic chemist to see the difference between these two compounds.
4. Should disclaimers be required to be in the same (or smaller or larger) size of type and given equal prominence with claims? Is there any relevant authority or social science research on this issue?
I read labels and am a reasonably intelligent person. I have also read the fact sheets which accompany prescription drugs, many of which warn that the approved drug side-effects may be equal to or worse than the condition it is intended to treat.
5. How can warnings be made most effective in preventing harm while minimizing the chances of consumer confusion or inattention? Is there any evidence as to which types of warnings consumers follow or disregard?
Most people follow the advise of a friend or medical professional. Unfortunately, the latter is only allowed to study and prescribe drugs.
6. What arguments or social science evidence, if any, can be used to support distinguishing between claims made in advertisements and those made on labels? Does the First Amendment and the relevant social science evidence afford the Government greater latitude over labels?
What is wrong with holding the advertisers and labelers legally responsible for the claims they make? Don't we already have a system of justice that should protect the public against false claims?
7. Would permitting speech by manufacturer, distributor, and marketer about off-label uses undermine the act's requirement that new uses must be approved by the FDA? If so, how? If not, why not? What is the extent of FDA's ability to regulate speech concerning off-label uses?
What is wrong with holding the advertisers and labelers legally responsible for the claims they make? Don't we already have a system of justice that should protect the public against false claims?
8. Do FDA's speech-related regulations advance the public health concerns they are designed to address? Are there other alternative approaches that FDA could pursue to accomplish those objectives with fewer restrictions on speech?
Will the FDA presume to tell the public what foods they must eat, the time of day to eat them, the amount and for what reason? Where is the reasonable man in this issue?
9. Are there any regulations, guidance, policies, and practices FDA should change, in light of governing First Amendment authority?
The First Amendment, the first of ten amendments added to the Constitution in 1791, was intended to limit the power of the federal government. Note the word limit, not expand the government.

GAINPRO® - Rumen Development Of Replacement Heifers (38kb)RUMEN DEVELOPMENT OF REPLACEMENT HEIFERS
Development of rumen capacity is as important as development of frame and skeletal size in contributing to longterm potential productivity of the dairy animal. The practice of limit-feeding high-energy diets to developing heifers has become more common during periods when the cost of grain is low relative to the cost of forages, especially when considered on the basis of cost per unit of energy. Although feeding a high-concentrate diet can increase rate of gain and feed efficiency, research has shown that feeding a diet higher in forage increases the size and capacity of the rumen relative to the size of the animal (table 1) Hence, even when feeding a forage-based diet does not give the lowest cost of gain, the returns to developing heifers with a forage-based diet will be provided in the long-term productivity of the animal.
SAFE-GUARD® - Brown Stomach Worm - Does It Arrest In Us Dairy Cattle? (51kb)Producers, veterinarians and others involved in the dairy industry often assume that parasite data generated in beef cattle is fully applicable to dairy cattle. Such assumptions can be costly to dairy producers who seek cost-effective solutions to the problem of worm control. A good example of this difference can be found in research conducted at the University of Kentucky dairy farm. In this two-year study, 50 parasite-naïve tester dairy calves were allowed to graze pastures for one month. Worms picked up during grazing were then recovered from the calves and identified. This method allows for determination of the type and size of the worm population present on contaminated pasture. In this study, Nematodirus was the most common worm found with an average of 2,220 worms per calf. Cooperia was the second most common worm found (2,018 worms). Brown stomach worm was third (846 worms ). No population of arrested brown stomach worm was found. These results were surprising because the study had been conducted to determine the seasonal pattern of arrested development for brown stomach worm!
SAFE-GUARD® - Deworming Lactating Dairy Cows During The Transition Period (50kb)Deworming lactating dairy cows is a venture beyond treating disease. Although most dairy cows have sufficient immunity such that parasitic disease will not occur, they're not immune from production losses caused by parasite exposure and the subsequent development of infection. Internal parasites interfere with efficient production and, therefore, the strategic deworming of lactating dairy cows is designed to prevent production losses caused by these parasites. Whole-herd deworming in late fall or early winter is a good strategy to maintain a parasite-free herd throughout the winter months in northern climates; however, a separate strategy for spring and summer to control internal parasites is required. During this period, individual animal treatment provides the very best control if production losses are to be prevented. Management may find, when feeding transitional groups in freestalls, deworming the cows via the feed (TMR) is cost-effective and laborsaving.

Our theme this week is "Be Your Own Farmer." For the first time ever, we're selling organic vegetable and herb starts in front of the Market, ready for planting in your backyard, window box or even (for some of them!) flower pot.
Vegetable 6-packs
We have a nice selection of Brasiccas (Toscano Kale, Red Russian, Broccoli di Cicco and Cabbages). These crops like cooler weather, but are also good in full sun, especially if you want to grow a large head of cabbage. Kales will grow in partial shade, and if the leaves are continuously picked the plant could produce for over a year. Brassica plants are large and like to have at least 18 inches between each plant.
The Onion and Chard 6-packs have multiple plants and can be carefully taken apart to create more plants. Bonus! Giving each individual plant the proper space helps with the productivity of the plant. Chard plants can also produce for over a year if the leaves are continuously picked. Both of these crops love full-sun but can do alright in partial shade.
The Lettuce and Escarole look amazing and are probably the easiest crops to grow in the city. Lettuces are cold weather crops that should be harvested between 30-50 days before they get too bitter; escarole will take at least 50 days to grow a mature head.
Peas are a true sign of spring and are a great plant to grow in a 2-3 gallon pot up a trellis or fence.
The Chives and Cilantro also grow well in pots, as long as the pot is big enough to let the roots grow. Herbs work well on sunny windowsills.
Transplanting Tips
- All of these starts are ready to transplanted and will thrive with a hit of organic fertilizer.
- Remember to massage the roots and break them up a bit. This prevents them from growing in a ball and never really living up to their expectations.
- Plants love their space so they don't have to compete for sunlight and water.
- All of these plants can be grown in pots, but will do better in a nicely prepared garden space.
- These starts are in small containers and can dry up quickly. They usually need a little water every day if they are in full-sun.
If you're someone who really likes to start at the beginning, we sell an assortment of seed packets from Baker Creek, a great heirloom seed company out of Missouri. They opened a seed bank up in Petaluma and from their collection I selected a handful of varietals that grow well in our SF climate. Just $2.50 a pack, give it a try!

ITMB Publishing specialise in areas that are interesting, exotic and off the beaten track. The publisher recognised some years ago that there was a lack of maps for various areas of the world and has an ambitious publishing program. The format and style vary due to the fact that many of the maps are produced in the country of origin but all are published for the English speaking traveller. This means that in addition to the wealth of detail - many of the maps are strong on the physical features of the various countries - there is usually informative text included with the map, dealing with the history, culture, etc. The maps are light, practical and should be invaluable for the backpacker, traveller or tourist.

Spectacular Underwater GoPro Footage Captures Shark Feeding and Validates Our Fear of the Ocean [VIDEO]
Attention galeophobics (those with a fear of sharks), you may want to find something else to watch.
I wouldn't call myself a "science geek", but I am fascinated by how things work. The way natural elements interact with each other to create something new, or how species behave in their natural habitats…on second thought, maybe I am a science geek.
Anyway, the video below provides an amazing look at the latter. Shot over the summer off the coast of Maryland using the internet's new favorite toy, the GoPro video camera, mounted to the back of a boat and baited with fish, the video captures essentially the last thing a fish (or human leg) sees before a shark turns it into food. It's an amazing video that gives us a stunningly look at the ferocity of these kings of salt water.

kings speech from birmingham jail
posted by gab .
Does king consider himself an :outsider" by staging a civil rights protet in Birmingham? List three resons he gives in response to this criticism.
See the first external link listed here:
can i have a stright answer plzzzz i dnt get this at all
We don't do homework.
It seems to me that the three reasons are very clearly stated in these paragraphs. Each paragraph contains a reason.
"I think I should indicate why I am here in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the view which argues against "outsiders coming in." I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization operating in every southern state, with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. We have some eighty five affiliated organizations across the South, and one of them is the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights. Frequently we share staff, educational and financial resources with our affiliates. Several months ago the affiliate here in Birmingham asked us to be on call to engage in a nonviolent direct action program if such were deemed necessary. We readily consented, and when the hour came we lived up to our promise. So I, along with several members of my staff, am here because I was invited here. I am here because I have organizational ties here.
"But more basically, I am in Birmingham because injustice is here. Just as the prophets of the eighth century B.C. left their villages and carried their "thus saith the Lord" far beyond the boundaries of their home towns, and just as the Apostle Paul left his village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the Greco Roman world, so am I compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town. Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid.
"Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds."
I recall his famous LETTER from Birmingham jail. He was not allowed to give a speech there
He does not consider himself an outsider because he state that he was invited by some affiliates,in the second paragraph mr. king clearly states that "So I, along with several members of my staff, am here because I was invited here." Which means some one invited him to Birmingham for a nonviolent protest. Then he clearly states that he goes where ever injustice is taking place "so am I compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town."King does not think he is an outsider because he says "Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds."

Journey through Tanzania and Kenya on an adventure to Nairobi
Cross the stunning scenery of Tanzania - full of incredible wildlife and fascinating cultures - on this East African adventure. From the pristine beaches of Zanzibar, across the lush slopes of the Usambara Mountains, and through the teeming wildlife of Ngorongoro Crater and the endless Serengeti, discover a land where elephants roam, lions hunt and the people welcome you to the heart of Africa.
Wander around Stone Town's bustling bazaars and fragrant spice markets and receive a guided tour of the spice plantations
Explore the home of the Big Five beasts of Africa – the Serengeti, a wildlife arena like no other
Partake in community activities in Mto wa Mbu with a guided stroll around the farming areas
Take a mind-blowing safari across the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater in an open-roof 4X4 for a chance to see the endangered black rhinoceros
Accompanied by a local crew — a leader, driver and cook – you'll be in excellent hands for the duration of your adventure
Camping in the Serengeti National Park with no barriers between you and the animals is amazing, but it's important to heed the safety advice of your leader. You will be briefed as a group on arrival.
At Usambara Mountains, you'll hike to the beautiful Irente viewpoint. It's not overly strenuous, but a reasonable level of fitness is required.
Our purpose-built overland trucks allow for excellent game-viewing, equipped with large sliding windows. They have no air-conditioning, however, so they can get dusty and hot.
The going can be slow over the long distances and often bumpy roads. A little bit of patience will go a long way towards your enjoyment of this beautiful land!
This is a participatory camping trip, so you will be expected to help out with the day-to-day. Embrace the team spirit by helping with camp setup, food preparation and cleaning.
1. A single Supplement is available on this trip. Please speak to your booking agent for further information.
2. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 2pm on day 1.
3. An optional sunrise balloon ride in the Serengeti National Park is possible on this itinerary. Please see the itinerary above for full details of this activity. As the balloon only holds 16 people, places are limited and we recommend you book in advance. Please inquire when booking your trip to book this optional activity.
4. This is a combination trip made up of 2 shorter trips. This means the composition of your group may change in Stone Town as some group members leave.
5. The Zanzibar portion of your itinerary may have a few more passengers than the maximum group size of 22 as we have a crossover of trips starting and finishing in Zanzibar.
6. This trip finishes upon arrival at our finish point hotel in Nairobi on Day 13. Please do not book any flights until after 6pm this evening.
Our Zanzibar to Nairobi trips score an average of 4.76 out of 5 based on 17 reviews in the last year.
Intrepid strives to give you that little extra - small groups of like minded travellers in search of something a little different. Be prepared to go off the beaten track
Review submitted 26 Jun 2017
Trip of a lifetime! Going through the Ngorogoro Crater and the Serengeti and seeing all the wildlifeis something I will never forget. An excellent team of Intrepid staff, a well orgainsed itinerary and such friendly locals. The food was great, just embrace the occasional long drives- it's so worth it!

SARASOTA COUNTY - A Venice man was arrested Thursday for a stabbing incident in which he claims he was protecting his brother.
Shortly after midnight Saturday night, deputies were called to a party of about 40-50 people in the 500 block of Sarabay Road in Osprey, the second police response at the party that night.
Arriving deputies observed a car leaving the scene and stopped the car quickly. The victim, 22-year-old Paul Damiano, was found in the car, bleeding from the lower back. He was flown to Blake Medical Center for treatment, where staff there advised the injury was very close to being life-threatening.
Damiano and several witnesses at the party told deputies that he was in an altercation with Jake McCauley and his brother Jesse McCauley when Jake stabbed him.
After speaking with Jake McCauley on Thursday, detectives arrested him and charged him with Aggravated Battery with a Deadly Weapon without Intent to Kill.

Is it just me or does everyone else wish that The Sniper Elite games were based on a FPS platform like BF3 OR 4 ???
I would Absolutely LOVE a real SNIPER based FPS that allows you to move more freely in a huge open world instead of having to go a certain way and so on.
Vietnam era would be nice also....even current day based also. As for multiplayer it would be nice to be able to have a friend as a spotter like in real life but give the players the options on who is taking the shots who is spotting or if your taking out 2 guys at the same time. I think that would be awesome....maybe some 2v2 multiplayer also but i am more keen to the single player co op.
Like Taking BF4's beautiful graphics and make a open world sniper based great single player game where DL content could be added without it being a total ripoff. Like having different Eras as DLoadable content instead of a new game all the time.
Also Give Us the ability to make our own mission parameters and themes like in the old BF2 Mods.

My negative experience with Forgestar Wheels
I will preface this by stating I did not go through modbargains so this is in no way a reflection of them as a dealer. This is specially related to Forgestar.
I ordered 18x9 et37 square F14's from forgestar in "brilliant silver".
It was a 9 week wait from the time of ordering to the day the wheels showed up.
Immediately upon inspection I noticed some significant flaws on the inside of the barrels of the wheels with the clear. They appeared scratched. I tried not to let it bother me since from the outside they looked good.
Upon mounting I realized I needed a slight roll. As I went to remount the wheels to the hub one slipped off the hub and rubbed the rotor dust shield. This was the result.
Picking at the clear it was obvious that it didn't stick to the base coat at all and was just floating on the wheel, waiting to fall off.
Calling my dealer back we spoke with Forgestar and they indicated they had a few complaints about this color silver and were sourcing a new supplier of the color and would refinish the wheels with the new color.
4 weeks go by with no word after having shipped the wheels back to them. I call and follow up and am told "we just got them" and hinted at me being unreasonable for expecting them turned around so soon.
6 weeks later I finally get them back and upon unboxing I immediately note the color is off.
I called Forgestar and they assured me these are my wheels and that it's the same color.
It's darker, duller, flatter and just looks....bad. I get them mounted anyways hoping they will look okay on the car.
This lighting is actually much more forgiving. Without direct light on them they are quite dark and look like a primer gray. There's no reflection off the color at all.
In my complaint to Forgestar I am provided with the true explanation.
At this point I will not send them back. I cannot keep driving on my winter tires for another month and a half for them to "fix" these a third time.
I will now be refinishing them locally apparently on my own dime since Forgestar isn't offering any kind of alternative.
I would highly, HIGHLY discourage anyone from ordering wheels from Forgestar....ever.

Nice work, shame it doesn't for all.
I'm having this problem too. The Market tells me I've got a server error.
I'm using the repackage, and the IQ boots up with a much nicer and more responsive user interface, and a market icon. I've done a factory reset.
I have logged into my gmail - both via the GMail icon and via the browser - and it's clearly synced, but when GTalk just flashes on the screen for a second when I click on the icon, and then FC's immediately. I've even logged onto my gmail via the browser and hit "talk" from there, but that didn't help.
Is there any other way to activate GTalk?
At no point am I being asked for my Android ID. I assume I have one (I have an HTC Hero phone) but I don't know where to find it on the phone. I've looked in all the settings in the phone to no avail. Does anyone know where I'd find the ID on my phone, and where and at what point I should've inputted it on my IQ?
Some background that my not be necessary: I did what I've done so far by downloading the repackage to the SD card and holding in the Vol+ and power button. I haven't done modding via computer (I have a Mac). I'm not comfortable using the command line, though I've done it when I've had clear instructions.
I really appreciate all the work that's been done by people in this thread, and if anyone can give me ideas for how to get GTalk activated and the Market working I'd be really, really grateful!

Now, all Andrew Wiggins has to do is play his first college basketball game.
He has the Sports Illustrated cover, is the latest athlete to be linked to rapper Jay-Z's ROC Nation sports agency and, as of Wednesday, the first nutty sneaker endorsement rumour: eight years, $180-million (U.S.) from adidas AG.
And there are suggestions from Bleacher Report that other companies are willing to enter the bidding.
It all seems absurd to the layman, particularly those of us who wince when we drop more than $75 on a pair of kicks. (Those of us the Lord had in mind, in other words, when he created outlet malls.)
But silly money for shoes and the athletes who wear them is old hat, not to mention big business.
If the money that might await the Canadian after his freshman year at the University of Kansas really surprises you, then you haven't been paying attention.
Nike Inc. gave LeBron James seven years and $90-million while he was in high school, the largest initial endorsement deal. That has since morphed into a more sophisticated joint marketing arrangement that, according to Forbes, brought in $300-million in retail sales in 2012 for James's signature shoes, which hit the market at around $260 per pair.
That sales figure is six-times the $50-million generated by Kobe Bryant, and 12 times the sales generated by Derrick Rose for adidas, who signed the injured Chicago Bulls guard to a 13-year, $185-million deal in 2012.
If you haven't heard of Wiggins by now, get ready.
If the 18-year-old forward, born in Thornhill, Ont., and burnished at Huntington Prep in West Virginia, is as good as everybody says he is and becomes the consensus No. 1 NBA pick after his freshman year with the powerhouse Jayhawks (NCAA rules say it's okay for coaches to make millions from sneaker deals, but the players must wait until they are pros), your children will want his sneakers.
He will not be the greatest Canadian player of all time out of the gate. (That's Steve Nash.) He won't be the first Canadian chosen in the first round and he won't even be the first Canadian-born player to go first overall.
But no Canadian player will have the anticipated 'Q' factor of Wiggins. His hometown team, the Toronto Raptors, have taken a suspiciously low-key approach to throwing away the 2013-14 season in order to get into the lottery for what is thought to be a silly deep draft even beyond the consensus first choice.
Others have been just this side of blatant, including Wednesday night's visitors to the Air Canada Centre, the Boston Celtics, who essentially blew up their roster to be bad enough to have a shot at Wiggins.
There have been dominant No. 1 picks since James went first in 2003 to the Cleveland Cavaliers, including the likes of Blake Griffin, Dwight Howard and Rose. Griffin revitalized the dunk as a highlight staple; Howard is so good he ruined two franchises. But none of these players post-James can be considered transcendent figures.
An illustration accompanying the SI article has Wiggins imitating a classic shot of Wilt Chamberlain sitting on the bench lacing up a sneaker and staring into the camera. Chamberlain is fifth on the all-time scoring list and is the only player in NBA history to average at least 30 points and 20 rebounds per game over the course of his career.
Kelly Olynyk, the Toronto-born, Kamloops-raised first-round choice (13th overall in 2013), made his NBA debut at the ACC on Wednesday with the Celtics – all long, scraggly hair and headband – and spoke about how all Wiggins needs to do is show respect for the game, his teammates and himself.
"Be humble," said Olynyk, who had the benefit of a couple of years at Gonzaga University and declared for the draft as a 22-year-old. Wiggins will be 19 if he declares after his freshman year, and already has big shoes to fill – and sell.
Humble won't come easy.

Estimating the Geographical Influence of Rice Consumption from a Regional Agropole in Ekiti State, Nigeria
Rice is a commodity of strong economic importance with vital implications for regional development. Rice is the main crop in Igbemo-Ekiti, Nigeria, yet the full economic effect of its production is yet to be determined. This study explores the geographical influence of rice consumption from Igbemo, a regional agropole in Ekiti state. Five hundred respondents were interviewed in 18 of the 69 residential quarters that constitute the six Local Government Areas (LGAs) in the study region. Using the double-log version of the multiple linear regression models for analysis, the study discovered that the level of availability of the rice, the regularity of its consumption, its sourcing, its market price, its quality, and the income of the consumer are crucial factors impacting consumption of rice from Igbemo. Policy measures are discussed based on research findings.

It has become a yearly tradition in our company to have SERVICE WEEK in the middle of the year.
Service Week is our opportunity to celebrate our team and thank everyone for taking care of our guests. We want especially to thank all our staff for their flexibility, good work and for being part of the team.
This whole week Astoria Hotel planned surprises with lovely food and gifts. Yesterday we had grilled chicken brochettes delivered by one of our favourite restaurants in the city. Instead of a quick lunch in between work, this week we took the time to eat together, spend more time to eat more than a usual lunch and laughed a lot. It's even harder to go back to work after a heavy lunch with so much fun!
Today, totally unexpected, the "Summer Santa Claus" came with perfume for everybody! Far over the budget but… ah, it's the one time in the year where I can give all my staff a big hug with tears in my eyes and say a big THANK YOU to be part of my team… It's worth to take the chance to get kicked out by the owners :)
I can proudly announce that I am very happy with my super team and I truly hope we can work together until I retire (over 20 years)! With pleasure I keep you in my team and keep all my treasures like precious diamonds!
Million kisses,
France De Zutter
General Manager

Dr Oskar Kohnstamm (1871-1917) was a German neurologist and psychiatrist. Initially trained in internal medicine in Giessen and Strassbourg he received his doctors degree in Berlin in 1894. Kohnstamm then began as a general practitioner in Königstein im Taunus , a small town in Hesse. There, he became more and more interested in neurology and psychiatry. His wife, Eva Grad, daughter of one of Kohnstamm's Berlin professors, agreed to have occasionally depressive patients as guests in the house, who then got chores assigned in housekeeping, gardening or minding the children. Gradually, the idea ripened to build a small sanatorium for treating clinical depressions. The house, build in [Jugendstil style, opened in 1905 and was expanded in 1912. Kohnstamm was no follower of Sigmund Freud but worked often with hypnosis. Among his patients were two young men who would become world-famous: the painter Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) and the conductor Otto Klemperer (1885-1973).

When my husband and I relocated to Wichita, we stayed at The Inn for several weeks. The suites were comfortable, spacious and very clean! We enjoyed both the breakfast and hospitality hour - not only for the food but because we met lots of friendly people. Most importantly, the staff was outstanding. The friendliness, attention to detail and customer service were consistent every day. Although were now in a lovely new house, We still consider The Inn our first home in Wichita!

Blackburn Hawks are eyeing up a potential six-point weekend, as they look to climb up the English National Ice Hockey League ladder.
With a top-four finish up for grabs, Hawks travel to Telford Titans later today, before hosting Northern Stars at the Blackburn Arena tomorrow night (face-off 5.45pm).
And with both teams currently below Hawks in the table, this crucial weekend in the hockey calendar provides Jared Owen's side with the perfect opportunity to move into the play-off positions.
With Telford rooted to the foot of the table, Hawks will head into tonight's trip as firm favourites.
However, the town team have had two close encounters against the Shropshire side this season, losing 5-4 away and winning 3-2 at home.
Victory tonight is a must if Hawks want to keep their play-off push on track.
However, the big game this weekend is tomorrow's home clash against the Stars.
With the North East outfit unable to fulfil any of their remaining home fixtures, tonight's match-up counts for double points.
And Hawks have a score to settle, after suffering a surprise 4-3 defeat at home to the Stars earlier this year.
Hawks were in a rich vein of form prior to their double defeat in Scotland in the Northern League last time out, so with six points at stake, they will be keen to get back to winning ways.
After a two-week break from competitive action, Hawks' full-strength squad will be confident they can clinch the final few wins needed to secure a coveted top-four finish.

Commemorations for the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks are under way in the US amid continued tensions over plans for an Islamic centre near Ground Zero and a threat to burn the Qur'an.
The main event is in New York, where relatives are reading out the names of the 2,749 people who died in the attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade Centre.
Houses of worship across the city tolled their bells at 8.46am (13.46 GMT), the moment the first hijacked plane struck the north tower in 2001.
Barack and Michelle Obama attended separate services in Washington and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, for the victims of hijacked planes that hit the Pentagon and a rural field nine years ago to the day.
Speaking at the memorial service, the president said the US was not at war with Islam.
"It was not a religion that attacked us that September day, it was al-Qaida – a sorry band of men that perverts religion," he said.
In his Saturday radio address broadcast earlier, Obama alluded to the tensions over the proposed mosque and Islamic cultural centre near Ground Zero, which have been inflamed by the Qur'an burning stunt.
"This is a time of difficulty for our country," he said. "And it is often in such moments that some try to stoke bitterness to divide us based on our differences, to blind us to what we have in common.
"We do not allow ourselves to be defined by fear, but by the hopes we have for our families, for our nation, and for a brighter future."
The pastor behind the threat to burn hundreds of Qur'ans in Florida said the event had been cancelled permanently.
"We will definitely not burn the Qur'an, no," Terry Jones, head of a congregation of about 50 at the Dove World Outreach Centre in Gainesville, told NBC's Today show.
When pressed about whether his planned demonstration might happen at a later date, he said: "Not today, not ever."
Jones said no meeting had been set up with Feisal Abdul Rauf, the New York imam behind the plans for the Islamic centre.
Jones said his church's goal was "to expose that there is an element of Islam that is very dangerous and very radical" and claimed: "We have definitely accomplished that mission."
But his stunt still threatens to overshadow the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. After the official commemorative services there will be anniversary rallies in New York for and against the centre, with more than 1,000 protesters on both sides expected to converge at the site, two blocks north of ground zero.
The heated debate, pitting advocates of religious freedom against critics who say the plan is disrespectful to the dead, has led the president to declare: "We are not at war against Islam."
The rallies have embroiled victims' family members in a feud over whether to play politics on the anniversary.
Nancy Nee, whose firefighter brother was killed at the World Trade Centre, has said she does not plan to join other family members at an anti-mosque rally after the anniversary ceremony but is opposed to the development.
"I just wanted to be as at peace with everything that's going on as I possibly can," Nee said.
She said her brother George Cain's death "is still very raw. ... and I just don't have it in me to be protesting and arguing, with anger in my heart and in my head".
Jim Riches, whose son Jimmy, also a firefighter, did in the attack, said he would join the protest.
"My son can't speak any more. He's been murdered by Muslims. I intend to voice my opinion against the location of this mosque," Riches said. "If someone wants to go home, that's their right. I have the right to go there."
But Stephanie Parker, whose father, Philip L Parker, died in the attacks, said: "I think the anniversary is being overshadowed."
Parker was among 2,000 people who held a vigil on Friday night in support of the Islamic centre. She said this was the first time she had publicly commemorated the attacks. "This year I feel like I should use my voice and my position" as a victim's relative to speak up for tolerance, she said.

Customer Reviews
No Heath App integration
Count and med logging options are thorough. Charts and stats are top-notch,This may be useful for folk with Type 1 diabetes or others who MUST use medication to manage. But the app suffers from not being integrated with IOS Health, and therefore not sharing information with other excellent Heath tools that are out there which a lot of people already use.
If you currently use any other diet, activity or medical tracking app or think you may want to in the future, be aware that this app cannot export glucose counts (or other data) to Health Kit and cannot import activity or nutrition info entered in other logging apps via the health kit. You need to use this app for all logging of counts, food, steps and exercise (which is not nearly as user friendly as apps with food/exercise tracking as main purpose) or you need to manually enter info into this app daily (i.e. Your total steps from Fitbit, walks/runs from Runkeeper or the Apple Watch Workout, and daily carb total from LoseIt...for example). That is a lot of fuss and not worth it for me.
I first got this app years ago before the activity tracker boom and before health kit. I'd hoped they would eventually update with the times, but they haven't. I'll be looking for a new app that plays well with others--a missing feature that is essential in any modern health tracking app.
The Best and Effective So Far
As a newly diagnosed Type 2 I was very much concerned and interested in finding just the ideal app that would let me log my data, show me results immediately and something I could share with my Doctor at each visit. I believe I've found it! This app is not only user friendly but let's me visually see my results. I especially like the graphs, the entries are easy to use and I can take a snapshot of my progress anytime. The "topper" was the website and how I can access it from any computer and I can sync it with my IPhone! One drawback that I can not award five stars is that my web entries do not sync to my IPhone but I can sync my IPhone logs to the website no problem. That is confusing and lack of info when I want to share my data with my Doctor via my IPhone. Log data on website does not match log data on IPhone. On the biggest upside to this entire package is that it is all free both the IPhone app and membership to the corresponding site! Free is good and this app is as well. I will be looking for further updates, I really love this app!!
Great helper
Update: 20 Sept. 2014. I have changed my rating from a one to a four as they seem to have finally fixed the issue where the data synching would fail for weeks at a time. For about the past two weeks I have had zero problems with the app. The reason I did not give them a five is that they never answer support requests. They need to understand they are in a customer service field of business, not just an app development business.
Easy to use, yet does everything I need to manage my diabetes. My Doctor likes the printed log available on the associated web site. When I forget to print the log for him, I just handed him my phone, and he can look over the logs very quickly.
Update: the app has developed an ongoing and serious issue. The logs will no longer sync with the online data base. This makes it impossible to print out my logs.
There has been zero response to my messages to support. I have found this is a commonly complained about issue on their community forums.
Second Update: it has been several months since the last update and the inability to sync data with the server is even worse. I have now gone over two week, trying several times a day, without being able too connect with the server. I have resorted to emailing a copy of the data to myself to provide backup. There continues to be zero response from support.
While I have years of data in this data base, I have begun looking for a more reliable app.

North Carolina's Ebron stands out in TE draft class
There's no consensus about which quarterback is the best available in the NFL Draft, but there's only minimal debate at tight end.
Eric Ebron of North Carolina "won't block for you," according to ESPN Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. — seemingly an incongruity at a position where that once was the priority. But that doesn't seem to matter as much in today's NFL.
Ebron, at 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds, is fast, fluid and a perfect mesh for offenses in which the tight end effectively operates as another wide receiver.
"I think he's one of the premier players in this draft," NFL Network analyst Charles Davis said. "It's rare you'd say a tight end is worth a top 10 pick, but I wouldn't have any problem at all if he was."
Davis compares Ebron to Vernon Davis, who had 13 TD catches for the 49ers last season. And who does Ebron compare himself to?
"Vernon Davis — his speed, he's powerful, he's very strong at the line of scrimmage," Ebron said. "Love everything about him."
Just as many teams feel that way about Ebron, who is likely to be off the board before the Steelers draft No. 15 overall on May 8.

Tag: Chuck
And I Thought I Was Nerdy…
by Tass on Jan.07, 2010, under Personal, Random Stuff, Television, Whorli
Whorli (my sexier half) loves to read. Our house is full of just her "favorites". But in addition to her love of commercial sci-fi and fantasy, she devours fan-made derivatives as well. Now, I've been mocking her fondness of fan fiction for years now, but I don't think I ever truly understood how completely insane that niche world is. Over the past few days, we've been doing a Chuck marathon, getting ready for Season 3 and Chuck 2.0. This has been excellent, and we've about 1/3 through season 2 in 3 days. Unfortunately, I saw some of her FireFox tabs between episodes, and it led to a bit of a mini-rant.
What did I see? A wall of text, complete with General Beckman giving orders to Ms. Summers to go with Major Casey on the upcoming mission. Whorli was reading Buffy and Chuck crossover fan-fic. Now, just the fact that there IS Buffy/Chuck crossover fan-fic blows my mind. The fact that there are apparently 20+ stories of Buffy/Chuck crossover fan-fic is insane. Who is writing all of these? Why don't these people have jobs? I was aware of the Buffy/Torchwood, Buffy/Stargate, Buffy/Supernatural, Buffy/some-other-show-that-I-don't-watch stories… but when it involves a show that I like?!? This is unacceptable.
This led to my introduction to Twisting the Hellmouth, which is apparently a site dedicated solely to Buffy Crossover Fanfic (and has 13,000+ stories). My horrid increased 10-fold, but so did my curiosity. Is there ANY show that isn't crossed with Buffy? And, thankfully, there are. There are no Happy Days or Seinfeld stories. Yet. A tangent: When searching for Happy Days stories, Whorli typed in "Happy Daze". Who thinks Happy Days is spelled D-A-Z-E?!? I think she needs her citizenship revoked or something.
Altogether, I am saddened that there are so many people who spend their time writing Buffy crossover fanfic. But I'm also comforted to know that there are plenty of people way nerdier than I am.

WISPS OF SALTY AIR waft daily across Albemarle Corp.'s chemical facility at Magnolia and past freshwater marshes to the south.
It makes the Gulf of Mexico seem much closer than the 400 miles away it actually is.
But in one sense, the ocean could be considered just a little more than a mile away -- straight down, that is -- at the Smackover Formation.
That's where Albemarle and rival Great Lakes Chemical Corp. annually drill for billions of gallons of the ancient, superdense, salty water; or brine, to produce one of the state's most valuable chemical elements -- bromine....
* * * *
Bromine, when combined with other chemicals to form useful compounds, is used in a variety of products Arkansans use every day -- and may take for granted. It's found in flame retardants, agricultural pesticides, water treatment chemicals, oil and natural gas drilling fluids, fire extinguisher chemicals, film developing chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food additives, makeup and cleaning products.
It's also in the controversial methylbromide, an agriculture fumigation pesticide, which is considered an ozone-depleting chemical along the lines of chlorofluorocarbons by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It's slowly being phased out in most of the world under the Montreal Protocols international treaty.
Bromine's varied uses help generate hundreds of millions of dollars a year in revenue for Albemarle Corp. of Richmond, Va., and Great Lakes Chemical Corp. of Indianapolis....
They, operate about 150 wells and have 14,000 leases for mineral drilling rights -- covering almost 169,000 acres -- and make combined annual lease payments of about $7.5 million to some 20,000 different landowners.
"Everybody in southeast Arkansas is about oil and gas production, but I have heard of only one new oil refinery," said Dan Redmond, plant manager at Great Lake's El Dorado facility. "All the others have dried up. All that's left is timber and brine. We're vital to Union and Columbia counties; we support a lot of things." ....

Brava! There need to be way more stories about Tony Foster on this site; I can count the ones I've found so far on one hand.
I really liked the insight into Tony's interest in directing; you kind of have to wonder how a street kid got into it to begin with. Very well written. I hope I can expect more Tony ficlets soon.
| skabs chapter 1 . 5/13/2008
this was really cute! i can totally see henry doing something like that for tony... personally i like the books centered around tony a bit more than the original blood books, but i am aware of my own deep hatred for the tv series that was spawned from them... and i've only seen one episode! have you watched it? does the acting seem sub-par to you? i can't watch it without getting pissed at their henry. he's nothing like the books. (height, coloring... a bit too hokey for my tastes...)
wow, ok, i just wanted to say i like your story and i got caught up in a rant. sorry... please write more? thanks.
