Join the AUSSEW-Along and make
this roomy handbag
|Version 1 - front
It's common knowledge that a woman can never have too many shoes or too many handbags.
|Version 2 - back
If you find yourself needing a larger bag while shopping, just turn the cuff up and instantly you have a deeper bag with a lovely accent. The interior has a zipper pocket and a double slip pocket as well as a key fob.
The pattern comes with 3 versions for the back. You decide which version suits your needs best….whether it be with pleats like the front, with a set in zipper or a full back pocket. Make it your personal perfect run-around bag!
Version 1 has pleats on the front and back of the bag with a hidden slip pocket on the front. The pattern instructions are directed at this version.
Version 2 has pleats on the front only with a hidden slip pocket and a flat back with zipper pocket.
Version 3 has pleats on the front with a hidden slip pocket and a wide back pocket on the back. *Version 3 is NOT recommended for faux leather due to the fact that all the layers would create a very thick seam allowance.
|Version 3 - back
Version 2 has pleats on the front only with a hidden slip pocket and a flat back with zipper pocket.
Version 3 has pleats on the front with a hidden slip pocket and a wide back pocket on the back. *Version 3 is NOT recommended for faux leather due to the fact that all the layers would create a very thick seam allowance.
This sew-along is open to both ASG members and non-members so there is no need to register – just join in the fun. Instructions will be issued here over 5 days, commencing 13 March 2017. Lots of advance warning to start collecting everything you need.
The pattern is by Moments Design, available as a download, through Craftsy. Some Moments Design patterns, including the Rubie bag, will be on sale for one week commencing 15 January 2017.
The sew-along will be geared toward making the bag from faux leather. However, the pattern does include instructions for making the bag from fabric if you are a bit hesitant about tackling faux leather. The very adventurous may wish to make their bag from real leather. That's OK, just be aware that instructions do not include tips for working with leather.
Handbag Hardware Australia (ASG Industry Partner) are joining the party and selling kits with interfacing and all the hardware you will need to complete the bag. You can choose from silver or antique bronze hardware. See the link below to order your kit.

- Purchase a kit from Handbag Hardware Australia (optional). The kit contains the following:

- 7 x double cap rivets
- 1 x small swivel clasp
- 1 x strap end capBe sure to enter discount code ASG10 when purchasing your kit.

- 0.6 m exterior fabric - faux leather 130-140 cm wide (or 1.4 m cotton fabric, 112 cm wide, for version 3)

I've been thinking a lot about in-person/virtual meetings lately: Whether they should largely be killed off along with other outmoded things like musicals and namifying, or whether they should be allowed to live and thrive in a new and better format.
Having spent two productive days this week in Boston at my parent company's annual meeting learning from and sharing with my colleagues as well as outsiders from around the world, I have no doubt that in-person gatherings still very much have their place. Exposure to the media, marketing and mobile experts there all gave me a broader perspective on what's shaping the IT and publishing industries.
+ Also on NetworkWorld: Google Chromebox for enterprise meetings +
But what about the more typical daily or weekly office meeting? Bain & Company Partner Jeff Denneen's LinkedIn post on "Let's Fix It: Kill the Weekly Meeting" really caught my eye this week.
Coincidentally, Network World's editorial staff has been discussing internally whether we should change the format of our weekly managers' meeting, at which we discuss internal affairs, story ideas and so forth in a conference room, with remote colleagues plugged in via teleconference. And yes, changes are in the works, with talk of more focused, SWAT team meetings.
We've also been rethinking how we collaborate on big stories, like this week's Apple iPad and Mac announcements. Do we meet in person and teleconference or videoconference to plot and scheme, or mainly rely on email, or give one of those newfangled collaboration tools such as Yammer that we write about yet another go (we went with Yammer, to some good effect, though we also found loopholes).
With all this in mind, I paid a visit to the Boston Globe's headquarters in Boston today to sit in on one of their twice-daily news meetings. As a Globe subscriber I'm deemed an Insider – not to be confused with Network World's Insider program – and was invited to be a fly on the wall at the meeting as part of a tour of the facility.
I did feel like I was stepping back in time at the Globe, which features a giant copy of its first ever newspaper from 1872 in its glass-encased lobby. The tour starts with a visit to the media company's four mammoth $15 million printing presses, which crank out copies of the Globe, its rival Boston Herald and other publications. Ah yes, I remember being the the print business until last year, when Network World went all digital all the time.
Though this isn't to say the Globe hasn't modernized. The old lead-infused linotype printing machines are reduced to show-and-tell displays while new systems take advantage of flexible aluminum plates and rechargeable paper-moving robots. Our tour guide said new Globe owner John Henry, of Boston Red Sox ownership fame, has set up space for MIT students to incubate new media ideas. Lots of twenty-somethings fill the Boston.com section of the building, where they produce what they hope will be shareable content.
The morning news meeting, however, was more of a throwback event. More than a dozen editorial types -- and at least one virtual attendee on the phone -- filed into the Tom Winship room, sitting around a classic horseshoe-shaped news desk and surrounded by four old tube TVs. The two Boston.com editors responsible for the digital version of the Globe sat inside the horseshoe, equipped with the only two laptops among participants. I'd show you a picture, but ironically, no photography was allowed in the newsroom... unless you're filming a movie about the Globe Spotlight team's Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation into the Catholic Church sex abuse scandal.
The news editor orchestrated the meeting, getting brief reports from the various section editors -- metro, sports, business, arts, etc., along with graphics and video. The digital editors shared their latest news, flashing online traffic numbers and discussing what's hot online, including on social media. The overall energy level in the room was low, though the 30-or-so-minute meeting ran efficiently, with no long speeches and people talking really only when they needed to. Jokes were cracked, but attendees never really went off on tangents. Discussions on topics ranged from the New England Patriots' victory the night before to the latest on the Ebola virus to a hot government scoop that the Globe was trying to determine how to proceed with without tipping off the competition.
It was clear many of the participants weren't real interested in what most of the others had to say – it just wasn't going to affect their jobs that day. From my view, the "print" editorial people seemed a bit too walled of from the digital side, though at the end of the meeting one editor assured me that was not really the case.
Should the weekly meeting be killed? Maybe not. But two meetings a day? Now that's overkill.

One More Reason Lyrics

Album: L.A. Guns
Angel mercy, tears like rain
Hurt so good, can't feel no pain
Paint it black, drives me insane
So far gone I'm not the same
You give me one more reason
One more reason to die
Yo'be blood with no regrets
English words, they won't forget
Crimes of passion, cigarettes
Move by night he won't suspect
That you give me one more reason
One more reason to die
And I ask myself the same question
Every night
What makes me restless
What makes me fight
Car ahead eliminate
Smoking gun
That sealed their fate
Flesh and blood to instigate
85 dollars
Ain't she great
You give me one more reason
One more reason to die

Man turns himself into living Yasiel Puig bobblehead
One Dodgers fan could not wait for the regular season to start to show off his latest piece of custom made memorabilia, a massive, wearable Yasiel Puig bobblehead.
• Swarm of bees delays Royals-Angels game
Life-sized @YasielPuig bobblehead invades @Dodgers game and your nightmares: http://t.co/H7bGrKmUpq pic.twitter.com/iM7vGKcYLq— Cut4mer (@Cut4mer) March 9, 2015
Seeing this waddle towards you would be pretty terrifying for anyone, and one would think it would be particularly traumatizing for Puig himself.
You would be wrong though, as Puig was handed the head while signing autographs and he seemed to think it was pretty hilarious.
• Reggie Jackson delivers signed ball to fan hit by bat
If Giancarlo Stanton gets to have a custom "G" facemask, Puig should be allowed to wear the bobblehead as a helmet.

CD30, also known as TNFRSF8, is a cell membrane protein of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily. CD30 protein is expressed by activated, but not resting, T and B cells. CD30 can regulate proliferation of lymphocytes and may also play an important role in human immunodeficiency virus replication. As a regulator of apoptosis, CD30 protein induces cell death or proliferation, depending on the cell type, and has been shown to limit the proliferative potential of autoreactive CD8 effector T cells and protect the body against autoimmunity. CD30 protein expression is upregulated in various hematological malignancies, including Reed-Sternberg cells in Hodgkin's disease (HD), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and subsets of Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs), and CD30 is also linked to leukocytes in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases, including lupus erythematosus, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and atopic dermatitis (AD).

The rematch pitching Manny Pacquiao against Timothy Bradley on Saturday night in Las Vegas has seen an upheaval this time around with neutral judges brought in from Canada and other US States, and both sides agreeing on the officials, all under intense scrutiny.
Even the controversial winner of the first fight, Bradley, has talked of the dark days after the first fight in 2012 when "the boos turned to death threats". But it looked like one of boxing's great robberies.
Under such a backdrop, there is massive interest in the rematch for the WBO welterweight title at the MGM Grand after one of the most derided judging decisions in modern boxing history.
Much was made of the judges' scorecards during that first encounter, with the undefeated Bradley winning a split decision, to the bewilderment of many onlookers.
Duane Ford and CJ Ross scored it 115-113 for Bradley. Jerry Roth 115-113 for Pacquiao.
I had it 117-111 for Pacquiao that night.
It was Pacquiao's first loss in 16 fights, stretching back to his defeat against Erik Morales in 2005.
Pacquiao-Bradley No 1 will be remembered as a fight with a strange pattern, and an even stranger result.
Pacquiao landed the cleaner, heavier shots until the final third of the fight, when Bradley found his second wind after being dominated from rounds two to eight.
Pacquiao appeared to be coasting, looked to have done more than enough to retain his belt by a clear points decision.
I scored the first, 10th and 11th for Bradley, but beyond that Pacquiao had much the better of the majority of the rounds, often doing his best work in the last minute of each stanza. I scored it 117-111 for Pacquiao.
Pacquiao's entrance to the fight had been delayed as he watched the NBA finals in his dressing room (that also affected the pay per view numbers, which dropped below the estimated 1 million to around 900,000, as America was gripped with the extended games) although there were claims that the Filipino was using a treadmill to work on tight calves, which have troubled him in his previous two fights.
The pattern of the fight swayed in stages. Pacquiao dominated early, and faded towards the end. Bradley did little that was spectacular. Yet he showed tremendous heart.
On the judges cards, Bradley must have been stealing rounds. Pacquiao landed with solid left hands in the opening quarter of the fight, his hand speed clearly troubling Bradley, as the champion controlled the pace of the fight. By the end of round six, having been under fire and pressure from Pacquiao, Bradley staggered back to his corner, looking short of confidence and disheartened.
Yet he did fight his way back into the contest. Bradley stood toe to toe with Pacquiao in the eighth and ninth rounds, coming off worst in most of them. Yet his heart was there. Bradley enjoyed his best moments of the fight in the last three rounds as Pacquiao's focus faded, the challenger getting back onto his toes and boxing well behind the jab, forcing Pacquiao to miss.
Both men finished the fight unmarked, Bradley having been warned by referee Robert Byrd about his head in round four and Pacquiao for pushing down on the head of his opponent in round seven.
It was a weird moment when the scores were read out. Floyd Mayweather Jnr, by the way, was watching the fight from the Clark County jail where he had been sentenced to incarceration for almost three months for domestic violence. He would have been grinning from ear to ear.
No one else was...
When the scores were read out, there was more shock than pandemonium in the Grand Garden Arena. An air of disbelief. Pacquiao just smiled. Bradley, who had the body language of a man who looked like he knew he had lost, was suddenly transformed.
The boxing world reacted in alarm after that 2012 debacle. Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield, no strangers to weird decisions themselves, cited it as the worst scoring they had ever seen.
Pacquiao was widely considered to have won the first fight comfortably and one of the two judges who inexplicably scored in favour of Bradley, female official CJ Ross, has since retired following further concern about the way she scored Floyd Mayweather-Canelo Alvarez as a draw last September.
After the first Pacquiao-Bradley fight, to add to the drama, the winner by split decision arrived in a wheelchair, claiming a broken foot.
Little wonder then that the first Paquiao-Bradley fight led to an inquiry into the judging - requested by promoter Bob Arum - to the Nevada Attorney General's office, which ruled that there was nothing "suspicious".
In an interview with Telegraph Sport, Pacquiao's coach Freddie Roach claimed that not once, but twice, Timothy Bradley has benefitted from "incompetent officiating" in the last two years, seeing him win two fights he should have lost.
After Pacquiao, Bradley fought Ruslan Provodnikov. As if to prove a point, Bradley stood toe to toe with the Russian. It was a brutal contest.
"Ruslan knocked Bradley out in the fight, but the ref [Pat Russell] called it a slip. He got up from the slip and fell down again, and that would usually be a stoppage. The referee gave him a break in that one, and it won Bradley the fight," Roach said.
"Admittedly, Bradley did win more rounds versus Ruslan but the truth is he got KO'd in that fight - the ref blew the call. And as we all know, the judges blew the call in the Pacquiao fight."
Roach believes the judging will be more accurate this time. "With neutral officials and Arum lobbying the Nevada State Athletic Commission to put the best guys he can in there to referee and judge the fight, we'll beat him every round like last time and if the KO comes, it comes."
There is an aphorism in boxing which applies to the Pacquiao-Bradley rematch this weekend: 'Don't leave it in the hands of the judges'.
Why? Not corruption, as some often suggest seeking to expose boxing's ancient and dark underbelly. No. In reality, it's incompetence.
Nevada, the Mecca for mega-fight nights for four decades, has had its share of controversial, if not outrageous, returned scorecards from the ring apron at major box office events.
Judges earn a fee of around £5,000 for scoring some fights which, in the case of Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather, can gross up to and beyond US $100 million. It seems almost absurd. But as in other sports, the gulf between officialdom and the professional sport can be enormous.
Promoter Arum, who believes over 1 million fans will pay their $50 this weekend to see the contest, revealed on Tuesday that both camps requested Kenny Bayless as the third man in the ring.
"It was a terrible decision, I called for the investigation, and nothing was found from it," said Arum. "It was one of the worst decisions we have ever seen. The thing is that now we have a chance to put that right, and we have a great man in Francisco Aguilar at the Nevada Commission who has done the right thing by appointing neutral judges - one from Florida, one from England and one from Nevada," Arum said.
[John Keane, the English judge, has been taken ill since Arum told Telegraph Sport this on Monday, and has been replaced by a Canadian judge].
In Bayless, the fight has a fine referee. Bayless oversaw Pacquiao's brutal dismantling of Ricky Hatton in two rounds in 2009, and is widely considered to be among the top five officials in the world.
This will be the seventh headline fight involving Pacquiao which he has refereed.
But intriguingly, looking back on that night of June 9, 2012, at the same MG Grand Garden Arena, the outcome of the first fight had a profound effect on the winner, not just the loser.
Bradley, too, has spoken of how getting the verdict in the first fight was "a very dark point and time in my life". The boos in the ring, he has explained this week, "turned into hatred, and then hatred turned into death threats".
He, too, unbeaten in 31 career fights, wants to put the record straight. There is a tense mood between the two men. Both clearly want a clear resolution this time.
Pacquiao has insisted his "killer instinct" is still alive, despite Bradley consistently questioning the motivation of the Filipino superstar.
"My motivation is the same now as it was when I started my boxing career," said Pacquiao.
"Because I'm facing Tim Bradley again I am extra motivated for this fight. I may not have won the decision the first time we fought but I know I did not lose that fight. I want the world title he won from me back around my waist. I want to prove I am the better fighter," he said.
Pacquiao is aware of the significance of this fight, having bounced back in style from his sensational knockout loss to Mexican great Juan Manuel Marquez by overcoming Brandon Rios late last year.
"Too much is at stake for me and for my country. I want to end my career on a winning streak and against the best fighters. No one has ever defeated Tim Bradley and I want to be the first name in his loss column. It will not be easy. Nothing at the world championship level is easy," Pacquiao insisted.
"I still have the hunger and the desire to win and I appreciate Tim Bradley giving me this rematch to prove it. Unfortunately for him, on April 12, I will not be able to repay him that favour with kindness."
The eight-division world champion, who for the past decade has been regarded as one of the very best pound-for-pound in the world, also says he has learnt from his shock loss to Marquez.
Having not knocked anyone out since Miguel Cotto in 2009, question marks have been raised in regards to his punching prowess of late, something which he was too eager to show against the skilled Mexican.
"The one thing I learned from my fight against Marquez was patience. When I had him teetering I became reckless and went in to finish him. I was careless and he landed the perfect punch. That was learning a lesson the hard way. But I learned it," Pacquiao said.
"I still have the killer instinct. I am not afraid to use my power and go for the knockout. But I will remember the lesson I learned from my last fight with Marquez. Knockouts need to come naturally, you should not force them."
'Pacman' also shot a note of warning to Bradley, believing that it will be the Pacquiao who blitzed his way past all-comers that he will share the ring with this Saturday night.
"I have all the respect for Bradley and what he has accomplished but I have no fear of him. He has inspired me to exceed my previous performances inside the ring. If Bradley wants to meet the fighter who stopped Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera, he's going to get his wish on Saturday," said Pacquiao.

Moving to a foreign country can be an exciting idea especially if you are an avid traveller who has the time and resources to see different countries on a regular basis. However, deciding to live in another country is not as easy and simple as a week-long vacation. With the ongoing financial crisis crippling several countries, it is natural for people to look for cheaper living options, and this includes moving to a foreign country. It would be nice to be able to find a place where one can live comfortably yet have a little of affordable luxury on the side. Moreover, to be able to live in a place with peaceful and beautiful surroundings would also be a plus. With almost 200 countries to choose from, how can we pick the right country to move to? To get you started, here's a list of some of the cheapest countries to live in;
10. Croatia

Like most countries in Europe, Croatia is considered as one of the most beautiful places to visit. Although prices can increase during the summer when tourists flock this scenic country, costs of commodities are controlled by authorities and they follow strict price-controlling policies which do not only benefit the locals but tourists and expats as well. Entertainment, transportation, and food costs are generally lower compared to other European countries. Also, most people in Croatia can speak English and some can be fluent, too. This is indeed the best place to retire to in Europe knowing the cost of living in the countries belong in Europe.
9. Indonesia

Indonesia is famous for its thousands of islands, but one island stands out as a cheap place to live in. This is no other than the famous touristy Bali. Not only is this island beautiful, it is also rich in Indonesian culture with temples, caves, and jungles. Several expats have said that housing in Bali is a lot cheaper than in America. For $50,000 or less, you can already rent a decent 2 to 3-bedroom apartment. Although medical care in Bali is not as ideal in most western countries, the cheap cost for relaxation will make up for it. A massage can cost you as little as $5 while a haircut will only cost you a dollar.
8. Peru

Peru has one of the oldest institutions for higher learning founded in 1551- the National University of San Marcos. This country is also famous for breathtaking landscapes and rainforests that usually attract tourists. Businessmen have also been attracted to Peru because of the country's steady mining and shipping industries. Travelling within the country is also cheap. Although Peru is generally small, roughly the size of Texas, it holds some of the famous attractions in the world such as the Amazon and Machu Picchu. It is one of the places to live for cheap stuff which includes goods and foods.
7. Morocco

Located in the northern part of Africa, Morocco is a famous tourist place because of its reasonably priced goods and steady economy. This booming country attracts several businesses to open an office here bringing in more expats living in the country. If you choose to live like a Moroccan, you can expect to spend significantly low on food and beverage compared to American and European standards. Local products are cheap and usually fresh and of good quality. Morocco is also known to have a balanced openness to modern living and Islamic freedom while maintaining low cost living despite of the development that the country is experiencing.
6. Greece

Undeniably one of the top vacation and tourist spots in world because of its old and rich culture. Because of its beauty and recent economic issues, Greece may not easily come in mind when thinking of a cheap place to live in. This issue sadly affected the quality of life in Greece. However, it is still much cheaper to live in Greece compared to its European neighbors. Electricity cost is low and since most products are sourced locally, grocery items are affordable.
5. Mexico

People from all over the world visit Mexico because of the low prices of food, goods, and services. Not only are they famous for quality tequila and their amazing burritos and nachos, Mexico would only require a minimal amount for a good quality of life. Locally sourced fruits and vegetables cost only half a dollar per kilo. Medical care is also inexpensive but is very good. At half the price in US, you can get excellent treatment in one of their many first-rate hospitals. Despite its closeness to the US, Mexico remains rooted to its culture and you will be able to enjoy its laidback and refreshing lifestyle. Indeed Mexico is one of the places to live for cheap costs of services, and products.
4. Sri Lanka

Although unknown to many, Sri Lanka has eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites making its tourism boom yearly. This country is highly dependent on its own resources keeping inflation rates low. Colombo may be one of the best places to live in Sri Lanka not only because it is the business hub but also because of its beautiful temples and huge Buddha statues. Sri Lanka also has an inviting warm weather that attracts westerners during the winter season.
3. Portugal

Probably the best aspect of living in Portugal is its climate. This country is also one of the lower-costs places to visit in Europe with delicious selection of fruits, nuts, and seafood. Health care and recreation are also top off the charts in Portugal. The region of Algarve houses one of the best golf courses in Europe and this country has a free national health care service. However, as a foreigner, the most notable aspect in moving to Portugal is definitely their 10-year income tax exemption window. This is the recommended and best place to retire to especially to elderly.
2. Brazil

If you live in Brazil, you can expect to wake up to a colorful neighborhood surrounded gorgeous beaches and rainforests. Also being the next to host the Olympics, you can expect far more improvements in this country. Businesses are also attracted to Brazil's economic policies which keep prices fair and prevent merchants from overcharging both tourists and locals. Brazil is also ranked as the 7th largest economy as of 2012 where you could enjoy the low cost living despite of the progress of the country.
1. Pakistan

Pakistan may not be the safest country to consider moving in to but it can prove to be the cheapest country to live in. Renting a house will cost you no more than $100 a month! Also, in 2010, Pakistan's City of Light or Karachi had been voted as the cheapest city to live in by the Americans. This country is also home to unique wildlife like the Pakistan sand cat and Indus blue dolphin.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by BrAinPaiNt, Apr 11, 2013.
ESPN had him as one of the highest rated prospects left on the board.
Cowboys already calling potential undrafted FA prospects!
I know nothing about him...
But switching schemes requires new LBers.
Ware and Spencer were lost to the DL. Wilber, apparently, too. Lee, Carter, Sims remain at LB. Durant was added.
Not surprising they needed another LBer.
Holloman is a guy who will be a core special teams player, and a backup. Can't say that I would expect him to be a starter down the line, but you never know. I would have rolled the dice on an end with good measurables, but not a lot of production:
What I would have done - DE Cornelius Washington - Georgia
Former SS, looks like the guy can move a bit despite the slow 40. However, every year we assume all these guys will make the roster and become players.
Holloman signed with the Gamecocks as a highly regarded prep prospect and quickly forced his way into the starting lineup despite the fact that South Carolina featured a veteran-laded defense in 2009.
Much more athletic than his size would suggest, Holloman played in every game and started two at strong safety, recording 30 tackles and an interception. He started 10 of 14 games at strong safety as a true sophomore, ranking third on the team with 69 tackles and also chipping in two interceptions and forcing a fumble.
As Holloman continued to get bigger and stronger (and yet maintained his speed), South Carolina experimented with moving him closer to the line of scrimmage. He was slated to begin the season at the "spur" position but saw his time there shortened after being arrested and charged with a DUI.
South Carolina does not allow its athletes to practice with the team when suspended, so his practice at the new position was shortened. Holloman, nonetheless, started the first two games upon his return at the spur but was eventually moved back to strong safety to finish the year. He missed the first two games of the season due to suspension but finished with 51 tackles, including four for loss and intercepting another pass.
Strengths: Athletic-looking frame with a sturdy, thick base and long arms. Exhibits strong play-recognition and anticipation against the pass. Diagnoses the run early, and takes good angles to the football. Anticipates and approaches the gap with good timing on runs between the tackles.
Possesses ample lower body strength that helps to compensate for lack of flexibility when asked to hold ground/stack at the second level. Exhibits good backfield vision through traffic. Displays good instincts and timing when asked to make a play on the ball in the air. High-motor, aggressive player who doesn't shy away from making big-time contact.
Negatives: Lack of flexibility and first-step explosion from a stop hampers his ability to recover when he has over-shot his gap, or on cutback run plays that require him to redirect. Lacks fluidity to turn and run with tight ends or receivers down the field, without losing a step.
Only marginal top-end speed for the position. Doesn't get his arms extended enough when taking on blocks, and is too easily driven out of the play as a result. Pretty stiff laterally.
Compares to: Mike Morgan, OLB, Seattle Seahawks - While Morgan and Holloman are very different athletes, they have a few common limitations that have kept them from becoming high-impact linebackers throughout their careers. A lack of flexibility and agility has been a huge impedement to Morgan's growth despite possessing elite speed, wheras with Holloman, it's his "plus" instincts that have been neutralized by the same limitations.
He seems to know what's going on, but struggles to consistently get there and make the play. His initial value will probably be best captured as a special teams contributor, but perhaps a move to the inside could help to mask some of his limitations in space, and give him a chance to contribute as a rotational piece down the road.
--Derek Stephens
good value pick, late third round rated, converted safety
Nickle backer?
at 240 lbs...
Great. Another slow LB. But he actually plays faster than his woeful Combine 40 (only 15 reps as well). He's a converted S. I honestly don't remember the guy and I watched some of those games.
Holloman made the transition from strong safety to "Spur," a hybrid safety/linebacker position, for his senior year after it was held by Antonio Allen (who was drafted by the New York Jets in the seventh round last April) the past three seasons. His growing frame, agility in coverage, and hard-hitting attitude made him a natural fit for this position.
He was considered one of the top high school players in North Carolina before moving to South Carolina for his senior season, and didn't disappoint there, leading South Point High School to a state title. He got onto the field immediately as a true freshman, playing in 13 games (two starts at strong safety, 30 tackles, interception), and then became a regular starter in 2010 (10 starts in 14 games played, 69 tackles, two interceptions, three pass breakups). A preseason DUI arrest cost him the 2011 opener, and he only started two games, but he was still quite productive (51 tackles, four for loss, interception, four pass break-ups). As a senior on a very talented South Carolina defense, Holloman managed 55 tackles (eight for loss), two sacks, and three interceptions.
STRENGTHS Versatile defender with a strong overall build. Plays over the tight end, in the slot, in the stack. Long, thick arms make him a secure tackler once latching on, brings pop to his stops whether in the open field or backfield. Moves well laterally. Takes on blocks in the open field extremely well. Locks out arms, and anchors in. Showcases violent hands in ripping off blocks. Stands his ground, or lowers a shoulder against pulling guards and tight end blocks on the edge, providing containment. Offers strength and speed as a blitzer. Former safety shows some agility to stay with tight ends and some receivers off the line. Shows some hustle across the field and chasing plays from behind. Take advantage of poor throws to secure interceptions with his hands, looking the ball in even if it's away from his frame.
WEAKNESSES Average fluidity and flexibility, often lunges for tackles. Will need to prove straight-line speed, seems to lack the ability to recover or track down faster ballcarriers from behind. Could be more physical knocking receivers off their routes off the line, and has the strength to do so.
NFL COMPARISON Chad Greenway
BOTTOM LINE After starting 14 games at strong safety in his first three seasons, Holloman moved to the "Spur" hybrid position for 2012, showing off his ability to lay the wood and move in coverage. If teams he can show well on special teams and hold his own against NFL linemen against the run, Holloman could be a solid Saturday draft pick as a Sam 'backer, and a likely candidate to outplay his draft position.
That's true, and he was all SWC first team. If memory serves, and Jobb is right that I am old (but not senile or feeble), J. Jones was either 2nd. team or honorable mention, which makes sense that he wouldn't hang too much credence on it since he was 'outdid' by Jimmy. Even back then the competition was fierce.
Weight can change. I guess he'd have to drop quite a bit though.
so he will lose 40 lbs to play S...:laugh1:
I have no idea about this round, so I'm going to support this pick idea.
20 lbs
or 10. Kam Chancellor is 230
I think he's a ST guy, wouldn't worry about where he fits in the regular packages just yet.
Dumb...keep smokin that Ganj...:laugh1::
220 isn't that crazy. But yes, I realize it will probably not happen.

Can fragmenting bullets go through stuff like windshields to hit a target without shattering
and become nullified first?
Posted in thread: Attacker Clothing? on 10-03-2007 at 04:15 PM
If your attacker is wearing really heavy jackets and stuff in the winter is it going to take a
significantly greater amount of firepower to actually stop them with a firearm?

The World of Springfield is a series of action figures, which ran between December 1999 to December 2004 and was released by Playmates Toys.
The toy action figure series was called World of Springfield, because the goal of the line was to build a miniature Springfield through a series of interactive action figures and playsets. It eventually encompassed over 200 different figures/characters from the series, 40 interactive playsets (toy re-creations of Simpson's interior settings and town location settings within Springfield), and 3 non-interactive diorama town settings.
The success of all "mass-market" action figure lines based on TV or movie characters are timed to the initial release of the project - as part of its promotional and marketing messages - taking advantage of the promotions, P.R. and advertising awareness and the figures themselves also as advertising and promotional vehicles. Most movie/TV tie-in action figures are successful for the brief period of the theatrical release, the video/DVD release and the possibility of a successful sequel but rarely for any longer period and typically, the release pattern for the action figure is no more than a few dozen figures, and some playsets to serve as background dioramas for the figures - with sales dropping off a few months after the last film is released. The Kenner/Hasbro Star Wars movie line is of course, the gold standard with figures in the same scale and in the marketplace since 1978. The closest TV equivalent might be the Star Trek line though non-contiguous and not technically from one TV series (coincidentally also from Playmates Toys).
While the Simpsons merchandising and licensing had continued unabated since the first season of the TV series in 1989, the characters represented as action figures only had a brief Mattel run in 1990 with only 7 figures and 1 Simpsons Living Room representation playset.
Why was the line successful?
Of course, it starts with the mass market appeal of The Simpsons - encompassing everyone from young kids who loved the slapstick aspects to adults of all ages who appreciated that the jokes and situations that worked on multi-levels of our intellect (from the kid in us to the Mensa in us). Like any classic TV series, fans remember and quote the lines - and Playmates Toys managed to capture that appeal with its interactive playsets. Each figure came with its own "coded" chip on the base of that characters foot (generally foot but not always) that when contacted with the "trigger" tab on each playset would (complete the circuit) so by then pressing the button closest to that figure, you would hear a playback of 1-5 phrases for the character.
What made it unique was that the playback was from the actual show and the actual voice actor - so placing the Homer Simpson figure on an appropriate playset would trigger the playback of a quote clip as performed by Dan Castellaneta as he performed them on the original episode.
Of additional value was that each playset held quotes and voice clip performances for a variety of characters so that placing the Marge Simpson figure or the Bart figure would trigger different quotes and voice clips. One limitation was that not every character worked with every playset - some for story logic reasons (character might not appear at that setting), release logistics (figures released after a playset was available much earlier) or presumably for cost reasons (as each voice clip had to be approved and licensed).
A real-world situation also cannot be over-looked - that these were released during the era of the internet/dot.com boom and general health of the U.S. economy. While the figures were priced at the lower end of action figure retail pricing (from $5.99 USD to eventually $7.99 USD each), the playsets generally ranged from $20 USD to $25 USD at the end of 2004 but there were special releases that ranged into the $60 USD range. Even at minimal retail, 200+ figures and 40 playsets meant a financial commitment. In addition, there were a dozen exclusives and mail-in figures that required extra work to obtain the figures - often via an online auction. It was however, during these early years of the series coinciding with the healthy economy that added extra impetus and momentum that carried the line a few extra years.
Fan interaction
The World of Springfield line set a new standard of company/fan interaction in its relationship between Playmates Toys and the collectors, specifically based at the Simpsons Collector Sector (SCS) website and forums. Starting in mid-2001, with contacts from board moderator Michael Crawford, Playmates executives (first Jeff Trojan and later Pat Linden) reached out to the collectors in a mutually beneficial relationship-- fans got input into the line; the company got free market research. Playmates Toys answered a monthly Q&A from collectors, and regularly gave exclusive details about upcoming products to the SCS website directly. Collectors had opportunities to affect the line's future on a few occasions.
The first incident occurred in summer 2001 after a controversy surrounding the release of a ToyFare mail-away figure, Pin Pal Burns. Fans complained about the unfair way ToyFare handled these offers and Playmates responded, first by having ToyFare make later offers available online and later by ending WoS offers from ToyFare entirely. Conversely, fan enthusiasm helped revive products that had been cancelled at one point, including the deluxe Main Street playset and the Moe's Tavern playset.
Collectors were also asked often to give suggestions on what figures and playsets they wanted to see; polls were generated. The results of these polls had an impact on future lineups, with collectors getting many of the figures they had requested.
This interaction hit a peak in 2003 when the Simpsons Collector Sector hosted a panel discussion at the San Diego Comic Con that July. A representative from Playmates Toys was the featured guest and engaged in Q&A with attendees and handed out free figures to all as well.
Fans continued to have a voice through the end of the line, although larger issues-- voice contracts, licensor disagreements-- sometimes prevented collectors from getting everything they wanted from the line. This model of interaction has been followed by many other toy companies since.
End and revival
The line ended in mid-2004 due to a number of factors, most importantly slow sales. There were a number of factors, in turn, that contributed to the declining sales, including: "collectors fatigue"; the release pattern of figures; the sheer size of the line was difficult for newcomers; the slowing economy; the changing toy retail situation; and even Playmates Toys relationship with 20th Century Fox.
For a complete detailed history of the WoS line, check out Michael Crawford's 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World of Springfield!'. And the archives at the Simpsons Collector Sector for an even more in-depth history.
However, not long after, McFarlane Toys-known for their sports line of action figures- decided to revive Simpsons collecting and start a new line of figures. The first set to be released was the "Ironic Punishment" set, from the episode, Treehouse of Horror IV. It features Homer being "tortured" by one of the devils minions, by forcing all the donuts in the world down his throat. It was soon followed by a "Family Couch Gag" set, from the beginning of each episode. So far, the new line has been accepted very well by Simpsons collectors and plans for an official line of figures will be soon.

Technically not part of World of Springfield (though there is a debate among the fans), these vehicles were made by Playmates Toys in June 2001, and later, August 2002, and are sometimes considered part of the line by fans. The vehicles weren't actually able to hold any figures from the line, but they could however speak by moving the small characters to the right or the left or by pressing the car's hood (this would create a conversation between the characters rather than just one character talking). Upon doing so, each character would have special lines taken from episodes from the series, much like the figures.

KayBee Toys exclusive
Again, technically not considered part of the World of Springfield line (though there is debate about that among collectors), Playmates Toys released in August of 2002 a series of figures exclusive to KayBee Toys based on the "When Bongos Collide" storyline from Bongo Comics. It featured Simpsons characters transformed into superheroes. The initial three-pack of figures included Homer Simpson as the Indigestible Bulk, Apu as Captain Kwik, and Ms. Krabappel as Vampiredna. Two more three-packs were planned (featuring Marge as the Entangler, Lisa as the Jazzler, Maggie as Brainbaby, Grampa as Oldblood member Coda, and Skinner as The Stickler, and Willie as the Plaid Piper), but the line was cancelled as soon as it hit retail.
Cancelled items
As in most toy lines, items are planned for release that for a number of reasons (cost issues, low retailer interest) never end up being produced and/or released. Many items were cancelled from the World of Springfield line, a complete list is available in the Simpsons Collector Sector's Release Guide.
- Rabbi Krustofski-Was to be include in the Series 2 line of Celebrity Figures, but for reasons unknown, he was cancelled.
- Lyle Lanley-Originally part of the Series 3 line of Celebrity Figures, but was replaced by Cooder.
- Malloy-Originally part of Series 12, but was replaced by Number One.
- Stonecutter Wiggum-Was cancelled when the World of Springfield line ended. Was going to be part of the Mail Away figures.
- Flander's Rumpus Room w/ Maude Flanders-Was originally going to be the playset for the Wave 18 line, but was cancelled when the World of Springfield line ended
- Springfield Elementary Playground w/ Janey-Was going to be a part of the Wave 17 line, but was cancelled for unknown reasons
- Stonecutter Hall w/ Stonecutter Carl-Was going to be Toys-R-Us exclusive, but cancelled due to slow sales of the Be Sharps playset and the end of World of Springfield
- 300th Episode Special: Bart's Loft w/ Skateboarding Homer, Pajama Bart, "Indian Burn" Lisa, and Casual Skinner-Was cancelled due to unknown reasons
- Oval Office w/ President Lisa, Old Homer, Old Marge, Grownup Bart, and Maggie Jr.-Was planned as a Toys-R-Us exclusive, but cancelled due to slow sales in previous exclusives
- Wave 17: Ninja Bart, Richard & Lewis, Arnie Pye, Bigfoot Homer, Flying Hellfish Grampa, and Cecil Terwilliger (Voiced by David Hyde Pierce)

Wonderful Doctor and Staff
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Incavo and his staff Gracie and Melissa. I have been having excruciating knee pain and saw me right away. The wait time was minimal which is so unusual for a specialist! Dr. Incavo is also unique in that he recommended a simple (less expensive) over the counter remedy rather than something more invasive and he was right! Knee pain gone! And he followed up with me the same day to make sure I was doing all right. Highly recommend him!

Fantastic Team
I have read some of these reviews and I can understand a bit I have been an R.N. for 30 years. Dr, incavo took on my 37 year old son to repair another surgeons botched job that left my son crippled. Yes He is not a warm fuzzy person, but you are not paying for his personality. He has given my son's life back we are just starting the road to recovery. He has staff in place to hold your hand . I'm very pleased with his skill, not everyone is the whole package and I get it. The surgeon that messed my son up so bad was kind and sweet and spent time with us BUT he did 3 surgeries done by him before he admitted he was over is head.................So thank you I will take expertise over holding my hand..

Found the Right One!
Needed a knee replacement for seven years. After an extensive trip to Asia last fall, it was obvious that the time had come. Asked friends who'd had the surgery and doctor friends for recommendations. Made appointments. All docs looked at the x-rays while I was seated in an examination room and told me they could do the job. No physical contact, no examination, but ready to operate. Not very satisfying - actually rather scary. Dr. Incavo's assessment was markedly different. He looked at a ribs to toes skeletal e-ray and pointed out the degree of deviation of the affected knee from 180 degrees, looked at the xray of the isolated knee. asked me to walk while he observed, looked at my spine and finally held my foot manipulating the leg to ascertain the articulation of the various joints. It was an overall very impressive assessment. I saw an operator who was using both art and science to make a judgment about potential treatment. I was impressed in a positive way and realized I'd found my doctor. He was willing to discuss options I was bringing to the table (so to speak) and flexible regarding certain requirements I had. The surgery went well according to the report and the speed of my recovery. I am very satisfied with the product ten weeks out from surgery and have almost completely recovered function of the knee. Any residuals I expect to heal with more time and exercise.

First of all I would tell my friends don't even think about going to this Doctor. Why? Because he leave love ones in the waiting rooms after surgery anxiously waiting for the report of how the love one made it through the surgery. Well he never shows up so, therefore you are grabbing Bibles and everything else thinking the worst. In other words he leave you sitting and waiting while he goes off to LUNCH!!! This Doctors bedside manners is horrible!!! "What Is That" to him! No respect, no consideration for his patient not let alone the patients Loved ones none whatsoever!!! Dr. Incavo, don't give a darn about nobody but his Pocket!!! I made it through the surgery Yes! But, it's the after affect later!!! No CPM machine after surgery!!! Knee had to be Manipulated because it Locked Up! After that I caught Pneumonia, I now have Blood Clots, knee heating up you name it! My knee is going to have to be Manipulated again! And yes! i find this to be true patients sre Relegated to the PA!!! Dr. Incavo will pay for mistreating patients!!! It might be going good now but guess what??? This Doctor will have pay for all the people he has treated like stray Dogs on the Street!!! Just a Cold Hearted No good Doctor and yes!!! FULL OF HIS SELF!!! NO GOOD FOR NOTHING!!! Now my leg will take forever to Heal now due to the complications I'm having!!! HORRIBLE DOCTOR! DON'T DO IT!!!

Searched for a physician in different cities-Mayo Phoenix was one of the facilities. Dr. Incavo was my choice -hands down. Had two surgeries with him. First one was complex and the second was more routine.

Total hip replacement on 60ish Legg-Perthes patient
Fabulous job! Incredibly deteriorated hip caused great pain for years. Referred to Dr. Incavo by another surgeon because of his experience with complex or difficult situations. No stitches! Only glue and tape on the incision. Back to work in the chemical plant, no restrictions, in only 10 weeks. Only used a walker for a few weeks, then a cane for several more. Amazing!!

Wonderful doctor
Dr Incavo and his staff are caring and very concerned with overall health, not just getting me to surgery. He is a wonderful, good man and doctor. Most times, I've found people who complain about money expect doctors to be paid in eggs like the old days and don't think that doctors deserve to be paid for their work, like they took a vow of poverty. Overall, I am very happy with Dr Incavo. I sometimes feel he is late when treating other patients because I take up so much of his and his staff's time, but I'm never made to feel like this is a problem. I highly recommend Dr Incavo.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger….I needed to hear this message at one point this morning! When I stepped outside for my morning walk, the air was thick with high humidity and it was not inviting at all. Another plus to walking in the mornings here is a twenty degree difference….75 to 95….with humidity like this though, the 75 isn't really that enjoyable.
|Dry shampoo has been a must since I began walking every day. With color on
my hair, I just cannot wash it every day. This works great and keeps this doable!

Jayce Build Guide by nancymcfee
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Playing jayce
Make sure to never build last whisper and never fill a tear after 30minutes. As soon as minions spawn, you want to miss most of them. Make sure to watch your jungler as they gank your lane, BUT DO NOT HELP THEM. Helping them will lead to a successful gank and you do NOT want this.
Playing someone other than jayce, like rumble.
If you ever try to play rumble, make sure to feed the enemy top laner and make sure to tell your team he is 2 turrets in when it is too late.
Team fighting.
Sit back and miss all you f*****g skills. If you do this you will make sure your team has to carry you. If you end up getting caught in a 2v2 situation where you could win very easily, run in a circle as the person you are fighting with dies.

About MeI have been modelling on and off since 2006 and enjoy every aspect of it. I hope to get some work and pictures to build my portfolio in light of getting the exposure and recognition I feel I have been lacking. I have a strong walk on runway and would like to be involved in more studio, concept shoots.
I am also taking baby steps towards becoming a stylist as I know I have an eye for detail, style and composition. I would like to network with experienced and up and coming stylists in order to assist and build my knowledge on the world of personal styling.
My latest styling work has appeared in Pride Magazine, March 2012 Edition along with Promota Magazine and recently had some images accepted in the Vogue Directory 2012.

Kourtney 'thinks Khloé and Scott have gone too far'
Kourtney Kardashian is thought to be mortified about recent texts Scott Disick and her sister Khloé shared.
The 36-year-old star's younger sister has always been close to Scott, who Kourtney has three kids, Penelope, Mason and Reign, with.
Recently both Scott and Khloé took to Instagram to share an intimate text conversation. In it, the curvaceous 30-year-old had asked his approval for posting a snap of her cleavage, sending the picture for him to assess.
He responded: "Sh*t I will if you don't".
"Kourtney can't believe Scott and Khloé have been texting like this," an insider admitted to British magazine Star. "They have always had banter but this is a step too far. And the fact they made it public is so humiliating."
This isn't the first time the pair's closeness has raised eyebrows. They previously shared a snap of them taking a bath together, with Khloé dressed in a sexy red swimming costume.
It's been an emotional time for the Kardashian/Jenner family, as Kourtney, Khloé and Kim's stepdad Bruce recently revealed he is transitioning to become a woman.
The whole family, including his ex-wife Kris and their daughters Kylie and Kendall, sat down to watch Bruce's coming out interview with Diane Sawyer last month.
However, Scott was hosting a nightclub event and wasn't around.
"Kourtney can't help thinking Scott has been really inconsiderate," the source continued. "The family has been going through a difficult time, and instead of being there for them, he's been out partying."

Looking for a fun and cute way to tag your Secret Santa gifts?
You will love these easy to DIY printable tags!
I'm all about keeping anonymity when doing the Secret Santa gifts. Handwriting is one of the easiest ways to give it away! Hopefully these fun easy to make tags will help you out on that! If you are just looking to make your own personal tags, I've got you covered there too! Today's post is all about glittering the printables, and how to make your own printables! You can create everything from framed art, to Christmas Cards, to birthday invitations. I think you will be amazed at easy it really is.
I use many resources for my printables. I use everything from free software like Canva,
PicMonkey, Inkscape, to not so free: Photoshop and Illustrator. I first started to look for quality graphics when I was selling on Etsy and wanted unique designs for appliqué and embroidery. One of my go to spots for graphics is Graphic Stock. In fact, I have used them for several free printables I've offered on the blog before. I love being able to just go in and search for something when I need it. It can be anything from a photograph, word art, vector files, or just a background. Today I'm showing you how easy it is to use Graphic Stock and PicMonkey to make fun glittered Holiday gift tags. I wanted to make them a little more jazzy - so these are made specifically for Secret Santa gifts. After you watch my tutorial though, you'll see how easy it is to customize them to whatever you would like them to say! So let's get started!
The first thing I did was go to Graphic Stock and search for something specific. I searched for "Christmas Tags" and also searched in the vector category. After viewing my options, I picked a few that I liked. You simply download them to your computer. You can pick different file types from EPS (for Illustrator), to jpeg, to pdf. I picked jpegs for todays post.
This is what it shows on your screen.
I picked 4 vertical scenes that I liked and then opened them in Pic Monkey in the collage tab.
I sized my collage at 2400 x 3300 pixels which is equivalent to 8x10 inches.
Next, I switched to the palette button and changed my spacing to make the tags a bit smaller, and I rounded the corners.
Once that was done and I was pleased with the results, I pressed the edit tab to move it over to the editing side of Pic Monkey.
Once I was in the editing side, I went to town adding the phrases I wanted with all the fun fonts available. Pic Monkey lets you use your own fonts too!
This what I came up with! I then saved the file, at the highest resolution because I knew it would be printed.
I then opened the picture up on my computer and printed on medium weight card stock!
These would work perfectly on their own, but glittery really adds that nice handmade touch.
To do this, gather your supplies (scissors, glue, a paint brush, and glitter)
Cut out all your tags and decide where you want the glitter. You can do it all the way around, or just in certain spots.
I used regular school glue. Try to stay in the general area.
I use a small paintbrush to spread the glue a little bit more evenly.
Then sprinkle and excess amount of glitter on your glue spots
Glitter is a bit messy. If you use a sheet of paper (wax or parchment, newspaper, etc), You can fold it over to dispose of the glitter or to funnel back into the container.
Let your cards rest a minute and then shake off the excess. Shake really well!
Punch a hole with a hole punch, and tie a pretty ribbon and it's ready to go!
And there you have it! So easy!!! It took me less than 30 minutes from start to finish.
