Eichler: Modernism Rebuilds the American Dream
By Paul Adamson & Marty Arbunich
I was motivated to write this book to find reasons that, amid the expanding sprawl of unimaginative and unsatisfying cheek-by-jowl tract home developments, the Eichler homes remain the rarest of exceptions. Even today, despite the Eichlers' example and those of several similar, although smaller, efforts elsewhere, architects design only ten percent of American housing./Paul Adamson
Joseph Eichler was a pioneering developer of residential suburbs whose socially conscious ethic, progressive planning, and elegant modern design for moderately priced housing in California still serves as a standard for housing developments today.
Defying conventional building industry wisdom by hiring a group of progressive architects to plan subdivisions and design reasonably priced homes, Eichler provided more than 11,000 residences that helped meet the dramatic need for post-World War II housing with extraordinary commodity and style.
In 1947 Eichler began what he called his "second career" as a developer of prefabricated homes, even these houses were vaguely modernist in style. Featuring a contemporary look, with rectangular massing and long bands of windows, his print advertisements called them "the most sensational" homes in the area.
In 1949, Eichler hired a draftsman who produced more stylish but less overtly Modern designs for two new subdivisions in Palo Alto and Menlo Park. Eichler explained later that he had put off a wholehearted plunge into original architectural designs until he had acquired sufficient "experience and know-how" to manage a process that involved topflight architects and full fledged modern building techniques.
Joe Eichler's son Ned led marketing and sales for most of a decade, beginning in the mid-1950's when the company established its reputation for design excellence.
My father was a kind of an artist, and he tried to express his art in a business, which always resulted in nearly impassible conflicts./Ned Eichler
Architectural Forum, the most elite of the nation's professional journals during the postwar, in 1950 called architects Anshen and Allen's first Eichler subdivision a "gamble in modern." However, the Eichler homes seemed to strike a chord with Bay Area buyers, who showed their enthusiasm by snapping up all fifty-one of the homes in that pivotal Sunnyvale Manor Addition subdivision in less than two weeks.
When Eichler eventually built his first subdivision of architecturally designed homes, observers perceived the results as daring. Even the architectural press that had been touting the advantages of Modernism for middle-class American homes since before the end of the war seemed surprised with Eichler's boldness.
The new Eichler designs were well proportioned, and the architects had employed modern building technologies that elevated the homes above typical, entry-level builder prototypes.
Ernie Braun was the principal publicity photographer for Eichler Homes from 1954 until 1968. He was drawn to the company because he found "sympathy" with the architecture of the homes and because he appreciated Joe Eichler's ethics, including his non discriminating policy.
Eichler's success came by building superior modern homes and building only enough to meet the narrow sector of the market that appreciated the style that reflected his own tastes in Modern design. Eichler's penchant for Modern design was deeply rooted in his psyche, but it was not until the second half of his life that he revealed his feelings and fully developed his interest in it.
The author Paul Adamson, AIA, holds a Master of Architecture degree from Columbia University and has practiced in New York and San Francisco. He is currently a designer at the San Francisco firm of Hornberger + Worstell, Inc. He has written and lectured widely on Eichler Homes, and has contributed to books and professional journals with regard to modern architecture and planning.

Ugh. It's a Versus exclusive game. And a 7:30 start.
As I've said many times these past few days, I expect the Capitals to be still stinging from that 7-0 slapping the Rangers handed them at the Garden in December. And I expect the Rangers will have to be better than they've been, and from start to finish, in this game. That won't be easy, given the injuries and newbies in the lineup. But we've also come to expect the Rangers to do the unexpected.
Don't know yet if Brandon Prust and/or Dan Girardi will play, or whether Michael Del Zotto and/or Evgeny Grachev get into the game. The Rangers could surely use some offense, and Del Zotto could provide some. We haven't seen the same from Grachev in his limited opportunities so far.
Here are the pre-game notes, courtesy of the Rangers:
NEW YORK RANGERS at WASHINGTON CAPITALS
Monday, Jan. 24, 7:30 p.m.

New iPad meets its maker in violent encounter with HK53 Assault Rifle
0. phoneArena posted on 20 Mar 2012, 04:14
Tech assassins are at it again, fighting for the right to bear arms and shoot gadgets, as provided in the Constitution. We guess one way to stand out in the 3 million-strong army of new iPad owners that emerged after the weekend is to take it and pierce it with bullets from an HK53 Assault Rifle, and it's as good a way as any...

Well I mean the guy did buy that new iPad, so it's his to do what he like with it. I can't be mad or criticize him for doing what he wanted with the item he purchased.
To each is own, he can do what he likes with his money. Unless he is ruining people's lives, then he would be wrong!

I wouldn't do that. I don't want to waste money on expensive things just so that I can make a statement by blowing it away with an HK... most epic needlessly-expensive target practice ever!

First the news, and it's not much. Marian Gaborik is going to see a neurologist today.
According to Larry Brooks on twitter, Gaborik believes concussion came from Brooks Orpik hit (Feb. 13 game).
This from Andrew Gross' Ranger Rants blog:
"The timeline, per coach John Tortorella, is this:
Last Tuesday, Gaborik said he wasn't feeling right. At the time, the team and Gaborik thought he might have the flu.
– Thursday, Gaborik played against the Kings without symptoms.
– Friday, Gaborik plays against the Devils without symptoms, though he's held without a shot for the first time this season.
– Sunday, Gaborik plays 4:39 with one shot in the first period. Tortorella wants to show him some video during the first intermission. At that time, Gaborik tells Tortorella he's having trouble concentrating, so Tortorella sends him right to trainer Jim Ramsey and the decision is made to shut Gaborik down."

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The 12th ranked Saint Leo men's tennis team started their season in much the same way it finished 2012 as the Lions posted a 9-0 victory over St. Thomas (Fla.) on Friday afternoon.
En route to the sweep of the Bobcats, the Lions (1-0) saw only the #3 double tandem of Antoine Raffaelli and Fons Verberne as well as #1 singles Aloua Adjenak finish with more than a five-point margin in both sets as head coach James Bryce's squad flexed its muscles on the first day of the season.
The men came out ready to play today and executed like they should," Bryce said. "I was happy with the contributions from everyone top to bottom. I hope we can continue to improve every day."
The Lions have little time to rest as their opening weekend schedule sees them back on the Saint Leo Tennis Center courts for a Saturday match with Southeastern (Fla.). The meeting between Saint Leo and the Fire is scheduled to get underway at 11:00 a.m.
For more information on the national ranked men's tennis team be sure to 'like' the Lions on Facebook and 'follow' Saint Leo on Twitter.

I had the privilege of studying with Beth at the Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary (AMBS) in Elkhart, IN. At a school forum, Ken gave a presentation that addressed homelessness from both a local and national perspective. The story of how their home church gradually reached out to those on the streets really spoke to me, so I invited them to share their experience as part of this series on caring for others—the heart of peace and justice.

We've really appreciated your great contributions to the forums.
Congratulations on being our latest Member of the Month!";

Thanks. There are sharp people here at SitePoint, and it's a great
honor to be recognized by this group.";
$JeffMott->questionAndAnswer($response, $opening_statement );
/* Set drawn to Sitepoint */
$question = "
What brought you to Sitepoint, and what drives you to help others?";
$answer = "
SitePoint was on my radar for a very long time. I often referred
people to its' XHTML vs HTML FAQ -- an accurate guide on a topic
that was often misunderstood. And I noticed some brilliant developers,
such as Paul O'Brien, who made SitePoint their home. That combination
of top-notch devs and authoratative guides made SitePoint feel like the
place to be for any serious developer. My drive to help others isn't
entirely selfless. Partly it's because I enjoy the work I do. I enjoy
programming and thinking through problems, and I feel satisfaction from
building elegant and well structured solutions. And partly it's because
facing the plethora of problems that come through SitePoint forces me
to work through scenarios I wouldn't normally face in my day-to-day work,
and I think I'm a better developer for it.";
$JeffMott->questionAndAnswer($answer, $question);
/* Set super smart programmatic knowledge */
$question = "
Your posts demonstrate strong programmatic knowledge. What other
languages and skill sets do you have? Where did it all start?";
$answer = "
Once upon a time, I made a StarCraft fan site... using Microsoft Word.
That was the first site I ever made. I wanted to learn more, so I
peeked at others' source code, I checked what WYSIWYG editors would
generate, and I worked through tutorial sites such as HTMLGoodies.
In hindsight, I don't think any of those are good ways to learn.
My turning point came when I became extremely selective about where
I learn from. I looked for the most authoritative people and the most
comprehensive resources. I read the HTML spec cover to cover, the
CSS spec, DOM, XML, the JavaScript language reference and ECMAScript
standard, and others. Eventually I moved into Perl/CGI (PHP wasn't big yet),
and I made a point to read the book written by Perl's creator himself.
To choose your teachers carefully is one of the most important lessons
I've learned and that I could convey to others, because that one decision
affects everything else you learn.";
$JeffMott->questionAndAnswer($answer, $question);
/* Set about job */
$question = "
As we often don't even get one layer of an onion peeled off
a Sitepoint member in their day to day posts, the MOTM interview provides
this opportunity. Please let us know a little about what you do for your job.";
$answer = "
Years ago I worked for an agency that caters to enterprise-level
clients. It was a great job that gave me the opportunity to work with
recognizable name brands such as Walmart, Rackspace, and Autodesk.
Today I contract with Intel and work on their website and associated
microsites. Usually that means learning one proprietary CMS after another.
I've gone back and forth between the corporate world and the agency world,
and both have their appeal. In the agency world, you get to learn a lot
of technologies, and you learn them quickly. Every project might use
something new. In the corporate world, you get to be a specialist and a
perfectionist because you're working on the same site for a prolonged period.";
$JeffMott->questionAndAnswer($answer, $question);
/* Set favourite Web personality */
$question = "
Do you have a favourite web personality (other than your own ;) )?";
$answer = "
A few names that come to mind are Fabien Potencier, Doug Crockford,
and Steve Souders. Potencier is the creator of the Symfony framework,
and reading his code has taught me more about design patterns than
any book ever could. Crockford is a JavaScript wizard, and I
think his teachings are a big reason why JavaScript is now perceived
as a good and serious language. And Souders' research led to the
performance rules that changed the way we construct pages, and he
continues to uncover new performance rules today. On the lighter
side of things, I also like to watch HDstarcraft's videos and the \\"How
It Should Have Ended\\" parodies.";
$JeffMott->questionAndAnswer($answer, $question);
/* Set needed developer behaviour or knowledge */
$question = "
Assuming they had a choice, what types of thinking would you
want every developer to endear?";
$answer = "
Probably the most important quality for a developer is an
insatiable curiosity. Ours is a field that is extremely broad
and constantly changing. You can't ever become too comfortable
with what you know. You have to be just as hungry to learn
something new as when you were just starting.";
$JeffMott->questionAndAnswer($answer, $question);
/* Set favourite things (other than Sitepoint ;) ) */
$question = "
As you haven't published much in your profile,
the lack of self-promoting signature, and the fact that
my poorly written web-scrapers couldn't find out much
about you, apart from spending time at the SitePoint forums,
what - other than Sitepoint - are a few of your other favourite things?";
$answer = "
I'm largely a homebody. I like stories and storytelling, whatever medium
they may come in, even a
game or
album.
I had some fun with
photography for a while.
And I have a fun dog named
questionAndAnswer($answer, $question);
/* Set Can sitepoint be better */
$question = "
If you could change something with Sitepoint
to make it a better place, what would it be?";
$answer = "
I'd like an easy way to give praise to people and posts. I think
rewarding high quality posts with sincere appreciation will help
encourage more high quality posts.";
$JeffMott->questionAndAnswer($answer, $question);
/* Set Garbage Collection */

Please tell us something about yourself,
or your life, that you don't want anyone at Sitepoint to know.";

Book Drive
For the whole month of March, MOPA's Dubois Library will be hosting a book drive, collecting new and used children's books, in English and Spanish. The books will be given to Words Alive, a local non-profit that distributes books to underserved, low-income, and at-risk children, teens, and adults. Please consider donating any gently used (or new!) books for ages 0-18; donations can be dropped off inside MOPA, Tuesday- Sunday, 10:00 am-5:00 pm.
In addition, Science Family Day is March 17th, so bring your book donations to MOPA that day and enjoy lots of family activities happening at all the museums in Balboa Park. MOPA will construct a giant camera obscura right out front of the Museum, and kids 12 and under enjoy free admission, with a paid adult.
Words Alive aims to inspire a commitment to reading, and manages a variety of programs, such as story times and book clubs, that encourage literacy and lifelong learning. Last year's book drive at MOPA garnered more than 350 books! Many of these books were given to families visiting the Armed Services YMCA Neighborhood Exchange, a monthly program that helps struggling military families. Other books were distributed to children via Words Alive's partnership with the East County division of Child Welfare Services.
As a Librarian, I love seeing the impact books can have on people, and I'm thrilled to collaborate with a community partner that is dedicated not only to encouraging literacy, but to providing access to books for kids without them. Just think, 350 books could affect the lives of 350 children!
Visit wordsalive.org or email firstname.lastname@example.com, for more information on the book drive.

Did you know?
One of the prized sightings along the Kleinzee Shipwreck Trail is that of the oystercatcher bird.
Just getting to the village of Leliefontein to begin your Shipwrecks and Daisies Route, which ends in Kleinzee, is an adventurous road trip in itself.
This is the lesser-travelled part of the Northern Cape's Namaqualand and you are in for a route full of surprises and delights.
Leliefontein is a historic Methodist mission village set among the rocky hills and outcrops not far from the central 'flower town' of Kamieskroon on the N7. There are no franchise burger joints here, no strip malls or shopping centres within hundreds of kilometres. It's back-roads travel at its finest.
We stay over here at the Leliefontein Lodge and, because we're after an authentic experience, tonight we sleep over in matjieshuise, traditional reed-mat igloos that have been used in the area for centuries.
We dine Nama-style in an open-air boma and are entertained by young Nama dancers, who weave their culture and stories into movement, backed by traditional music. We chat to the locals about their lives here in the back country and, next morning, leave this place knowing a lot more about the history and traditions of this area than we did before.
We could have headed straight for Kamieskroon today, but we're spinning out this trip and going south to Garies. We visit the famous Letterklip (letter stone) bearing the inscriptions of old-time Namaqualand travellers, before setting our sights for the coast, and the little seaside town of Hondeklip (dog stone) Bay.
Our hosts for tonight are the Hough family, who run the famous Honnehok (dog kennel) chalets and serve wickedly delicious meals at their nearby restaurant-bar. One of the delights of visiting Hondeklip Bay is a walk along its beaches to admire the beached boats and occasional shipwreck looming out of the mist.
This village was once the shipping centre of copper ore from Namaqualand to the United Kingdom. It resurfaced as a crayfish town in the 1920s until the mid-1990s. Nowadays, Hondeklip Bay is best known for the alluvial diamonds that lie in the sea sands just off the coast.
The next day we drive up to Kleinzee. We have organised overnight permits well in advance, because this is officially still a diamond-restricted area. But we're not here to hunt down diamonds. We're going to look for shipwrecks and dune flowers.
We start off with a visit to the Kleinzee Museum, where you can see how the old-timers used to mine for diamonds out here. More importantly, you learn about their lifestyles and the reasonably harsh conditions they endured in this unforgiving part of the country.
Right next to the museum are the offices of Kleinzee Tourism, where we book for a day out on a shipwreck tour, on which we see the remains of a vessel sunk by German torpedoes in World War II, a Cypriot freighter that ran aground in foul weather, and a British motor coaster that also came to grief here in the late 1940s.
At the end of this trip we have seen the 'backstage' of Namaqualand and learnt a lot more of her secrets...

How to get here
Drive north on the N7 from Cape Town for approx. 450km, and then turn east at Garies for approx. 40km on the Leliefontein road.
Best time to visit
The area looks best in spring, when the Namaqualand flowers are in bloom: August to September.
Around the area
Ask the locals at Kleinzee about their secret seaside places – and go there.
Tours to do
Kleinzee Tourism runs shipwreck and 4X4 dune tours in the area. You'll need a permit to enter Kleinzee. Contact Kleinzee Tourism five days in advance of your planned trip.
Get around
This is an easy voyage of discovery, so hire a car in Cape Town and take to the road.
What will it cost
Accommodation costs along the way are relatively inexpensive. Expect to pay a few hundred rands per person per night.
Length of stay
Set aside three nights for this trip if possible.
What to pack
Pack for the outdoors and pack informally. Don't forget your camera and extra memory cards.
Where to stay
Recommended are the Leliefontein Lodge, the Honnehok chalets in Hondeklip Bay, and Die Houthoop just outside Kleinzee.
What to eat
Meals are provided at all listed accommodation options, but this is a great time to stage impromptu picnics along the way. Shop in one of major N7 centres en route.
What's happening
Check the listed Northern Cape Tourism website for information about the area during your visit.

Retirement planning confidence in the future of Social Security is weak, with three out of 10 people believing they'll never be able to collect, according to a survey by Findlaw.com, a website that provides legal information for professionals.
Another 31 percent are fairly confident that they will receive something from the program, while the rest are unsure. Even people 55 and older are not positive that they'll be able to count on Social Security in retirement, with 36 percent saying they lack confidence that the checks will arrive.
Warnings by the Social Security Administration and the Treasury Department that checks could be delayed if the debt ceiling isn't lifted don't inspire confidence. Before you panic, look at it this way:
Social Security is the most important program the country has. Nine out of 10 people 65 and older get a check. For those people, Social Security represents an average of 39 percent of their income. For 23 percent of married couples and 46 percent of unmarried people, Social Security represents 90 percent or more of their income.
Older Americans are reliable voters. I pity the politician who votes to do anything detrimental to Social Security. Even cutting benefits for some people or in small ways is politically unpalatable.
But we do need to make some changes. In total, 161 million workers are covered by Social Security. There are currently 2.8 workers for every recipient of Social Security. By 2033, that will drop to 2.1 workers for each recipient. You don't have to be a math genius to see that something has to give.
One solution that is often suggested is to raise or eliminate the $113,700 wage cap on which Social Security taxes are levied. We also could increase the wage tax on both workers and employers. Another suggestion is to make 100 percent of Social Security payments taxable; currently, a maximum of 85 percent of Social Security income can be taxed. We could adopt the chained consumer price index, or CPI, on which cost-of-living adjustments are based. That would slow the growth of the program and spread the pain around.
Nobody likes any of these ideas very much. All of them raise costs for somebody. But keeping the program solvent and the checks flowing is vital. We need our government leaders to understand that and have the fortitude to do something about it.

There are the "surfers who get so drunk every night they never make dawn patrol". God bless them.
don't forget trendoids who have to ride the latest trendy boards regardless if they work in our waves or not.
This is easy. I will explain it in 2 categories. Regardless if you body surf, long board, body board, surf, raft, blow-up boat, SUP, or what ever...
1. You will take-off deep or have at some point in your life.
2. You will not take-off deep.
If you are the later, you could be classified in about 30 categories and will get hassled everywhere you go. People know if you will go. It's in your eyes. There are some old-guy-long boarders who I know once "got deep!"
Another question: What type from these 2 do you surf with?
rocket packs- guy who always paddles mad fast and snags on the waves
A grom is really just a young surfer wether he/she rips or not
i would say a kook dont have to be a beginer. ive been surfing for 15 yrs and im still a kook. hahaha
soul surfers are washed up pot smoking hippies

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/10/2012 (1759 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
So you're a Winnipeg Blue Bombers fan. You love Buck Pierce. You'd have absolutely no problem with him coming home with your daughter for Christmas dinner.
But after he failed to finish yet another game -- the most important game this season -- in Hamilton on Saturday, you've decided you've finally had enough of the Bombers quarterback and it's time for Buck to go.
Yeah? So now what?
Heck of a good question. And therein lies the rub. While the message boards lit up this weekend with calls for Pierce to be run out of town after he was injured yet again in a 28-18 loss to the Tiger-Cats that eliminated Winnipeg from playoff contention, meaningful suggestions of an alternative to Pierce have been few and far between.
There's a reason why bona fide starting quarterbacks in the CFL are so valuable and it's precisely because they're so hard to find. It's pure capitalism -- lots of demand, very little supply.
So what are the alternatives to Pierce? There are three sources of CFL starting quarterbacks: the backups already on your roster, the quarterbacks on other CFL rosters and unemployed or underemployed American quarterbacks with potential in the three-down game but no actual CFL experience.
Here's a look at who's available in each category:
BOMBERS fans got very familiar with Joey Elliott and Alex Brink in a season that saw Pierce miss 10 games and fail to finish four others, all due to injuries. So what would you be getting if you replaced Pierce permanently with either Elliott or Brink as starter?
Well, in Elliott, you'd be getting a graduate of a major U.S. school -- Purdue -- with all kinds of confidence and a couple of huge wins this season on his resumé -- a 406-yard outing in his first start of the year at home against Hamilton and then a 335-yard, three-TD performance in a win over the Alouettes in Montreal earlier this month.
But you'd also be getting a quarterback who has thrown 12 interceptions -- including four in one game -- this season against just five TDs; who continues to dangerously float passes out to the sidelines, raising questions about whether he has the arm strength for the wide field in Canada; who has already shredded his ACL once in his time with Winnipeg; and who looked overmatched and utterly lost many times this season.
And Brink? Well, it speaks volumes that he went from the starter when Pierce injured his foot in Week 3 to third-string behind Pierce and Elliott by season's end. Some people around the team still think Brink -- who's also the graduate of a major U.S. college, Washington State -- has a lot more upside than Elliott and he showed a glimpse of that potential with a 26-38, 294-yard performance in a Week 5 win over Edmonton that was Winnipeg's first victory of the year.
But he also went 9-of-34 and threw two INTs in a disastrous start against Toronto in Week 4 in which he looked a very, very long way from being ready for CFL primetime.
Finally, yes, Justin Goltz is also a Bombers backup quarterback. And no, he's not ready to start in the CFL.
UNFORTUNATELY for the Bombers, Edmonton's Eric Tillman ran out of future CFL Hall of Fame quarterbacks to give away when he decided for reasons that still aren't apparent to gift Ricky Ray to the Toronto Argonauts last winter.
It'd be nice, of course, if someone would do that for Winnipeg and simply give us an experienced and reliable CFL starter. But the CFL doesn't usually operate that way so the reality is whatever quarterback we could pry off another CFL roster would most likely have to be of the backup variety.
Take your pick -- Montreal's Adrian McPherson, Hamilton's Quinton Porter, Calgary's Bo Levi Mitchell, B.C.'s Mike Reilly, Toronto's Jarious Jackson or even Saskatchewan's Drew Willy.
Playing in relief, they've all shown flashes at various times of appearing to be ready to take on a starting role. But if anyone tells you they know one or the other of this bunch is a stone-cold lock as a bona fide starting CFL quarterback, they're lying. A wise man told me over the weekend the last thing Montreal's Marc Trestman ever wants to find out is if McPherson is any good. You could say the same for the rest of this bunch too.
Are they any better than Winnipeg's existing backups? Some of them, maybe. But are they any more of a sure thing? Not a chance.
The one exception to all this, of course, is Calgary's Kevin Glenn, who proved in relief of Drew Tate this season that he still has an uncanny ability to win games all by himself and lose games all by himself, sometimes in the same game.
That act wore thin in Winnipeg four years ago when the Bombers ran Glenn out of town after five seasons with the Bombers and the idea the franchise would make a deal with Calgary now to put an older version of Glenn back in a Blue and Gold uniform smacks of desperation.
Of course, that's exactly what Winnipeg is after missing the playoffs three of the last four years.
WELL, Vince Young is broke and needs a job.
The Montreal Alouettes added the veteran NFLer and Rose Bowl hero to their negotiation list last summer after Young got cut by the Buffalo Bills. That caused a bit of a stir, particularly since it was accompanied at nearly the same time by news from Young's attorney that his client has squandered all of the $26 million in guaranteed money he earned in the NFL and now "needs a job."
Perfect, right -- a desperate man for a desperate football team.
We kid, we kid. Vince Young isn't coming to Canada and even if he did, like we said, the Als have his rights.
So who's on the Bombers neg list for quarterbacks? Denard Robinson, who's starring at the University of Michigan; Chase Clement, the starter for the Las Vegas Locomotives of the fledgling UFL and the MVP of the 2010 UFL championship game; B.J. Coleman, a seventh-round draft pick of the Green Bay Packers, now on their practice squad; and Armanti Edwards, a third-round pick of the Carolina Panthers in 2010 who has been converted to a receiver/returner in the NFL.
Sound good? Sure, one of them might even be the next Anthony Calvillo. Just remember one thing: Calvillo spent four very undistinguished years in Las Vegas and Hamilton in the mid-'90s before Montreal got hold of him and turned him into the greatest QB in CFL history.
Everyone who likes the idea of waiting patiently for another four years so we can develop a quarterback with no CFL experience, raise your hands.
Yeah, exactly.
Add it all up and we're back where we started: You're a Bombers fan, you love Buck Pierce, but you've seen enough and you want to run him out of town.

I was delightfully surprised to see that Steven used one of my older pictures earlier today on social media. Here is a link to that post:
I was looking at the picture and I thought it looked familiar. I recognized the cutting board and grilling tongs in the pic. Sorry for not being around so much recently. I'll try to be better about getting on the forum. But even though I haven't been on the forum much, I've still been cooking away. I'll try to post some stuff within the next few days. Here are a few cooks...hopefully some of them might give you guys and gals some new ideas.
Pineapple Upside Down Cake... my most favorite dessert off the grill so far!
Some Cherry Smoked MOINK balls made with meatballs and DEER bacon! Not sure how my processor makes the "deer bacon", but it's pretty good stuff.
And your classic ribs. These were smoked up with some JD whiskey barrel oak chips. I loooove the smell of the JD whiskey barrel smoke.
Some big butts (20 pounds total) smoked up for my mom's birthday (JD whiskey wood was used on these as well)
Smoked Cherry Cola and Honey Glazed Ham, studded with Cloves
In order to keep the post from being too big, I'll stop there for now. Hope you guys have a great week!

Oklahoma City, OK (SportsNetwork.com) - LaMarcus Aldridge scored 25 points with 14 rebounds to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to a 98-94 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Damian Lillard also recorded a double-double with 21 points and 11 assists, while Wesley Matthews added 16 points with seven rebounds and seven assists in the win, Portland's second straight over the Thunder this season.
Nicolas Batum and Robin Lopez scored 15 and 12 points, respectively, for the Blazers.
"Obviously, that was a terrific win to get a game like this on the road during a back-to-back against the best team in the league right now," said Blazers coach Terry Stotts.
Kevin Durant scored a game-high 37 points, however, just one in the fourth quarter, to go along with 14 rebounds for the Thunder.
Serge Ibaka had 17 points and three blocks, while Reggie Jackson netted 12 points with seven rebounds and six assists in the loss, which snapped a three- game winning streak for Oklahoma City.
"If we would have won this basketball game we wouldn't have came in here celebrating like we won the championship," said Durant. "So we're not going to hang our heads because we lost."
Following a Jeremy Lamb layup that extended the Thunder's margin to 84-73 at the 10:01 mark of the fourth, Lopez and Aldridge scored four points during a 10-0 run to get Portland back into the game.
Aldridge later staked the Blazers to their first lead since midway through the first with a pair of free throws to give the visitors an 87-86 lead. Jackson answered with a running floater to regain the edge with 3:41 to play.
Lopez calmly hit two at the stripe to push the lead to four, 94-90, with 59.1 seconds left.
With the Blazers clinging to a one-point advantage and 10.8 seconds remaining, Mo Williams missed two at the line, but Aldridge corralled the offensive rebound on the second miss and Matthews made good for his teammate and buried a pair.
The Blazers sent Durant to the line where he made 1-of-2. Ibaka kept the miss alive on the second attempt and Durant had an elbow jumper to tie the game go off the mark.
Lillard nailed two free throws for the final margin to insure the win with 2.1 seconds left.
Durant scored 16 points in the first and capped a 6-0 sprint to end the quarter with an assertive running dunk which gave the hosts a 30-24 lead heading into the second quarter.
The Thunder led 54-42 at halftime and brought a 78-71 edge into the final quarter.
The loss marked just Oklahoma City's second at home this season ... Lamb finished with 10 points ... There were seven ties and 13 lead changes ... Portland won despite shooting 36-of-91 (39.6 percent) from the field ... The Blazers shot 24.2 percent from deep compared to 21.4 percent for Oklahoma City ... Portland committed just six turnovers.

Our visitors have overwhelmingly voted in favour of William Bouguereau as the most popular artist in the ARC Museum, followed by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema and Jean-Léon Gérôme, also Academic masters. Bouguereau received more than three times the hits (or pages viewed) of the highest ranking Old Master, Raphael; more even than Leonardo da Vinci, in a year when there has been a resurgence of popular interest in his life and work. The top three ranking artists are not Impressionists like Monet, Renoir, or Degas but three of the greatest Academic painters of the 19th century. Conventional wisdom has it that the Impressionists are the most well-known and loved artists of the 19th century. These results suggest that preferences are changing.
The ARC staff believes that this result is a sign that people know quality when they see it, irrespective of labels. As our Chairman put it, 'If you build it, they will come.' We built the largest collection of high-quality, high-resolution images devoted to great academically-trained artists - such as Bouguereau, Gérôme, and Waterhouse - and these statistics indicate their popularity with our viewers. An extraordinary result when considering that art history students can still graduate today without ever being exposed to the works of the major 19th century Academic artists.
Aside from celebrating the popular success of these artists, we hope that this list of the 225 most visited artist galleries on ARC will inspire our visitors to investigate other Masters in our collection they may yet have to enjoy.

FIREPOOL in Taunton – earmarked as a primary development opportunity – continues to be used as a travellers camp site this week.
Several caravans arrived at the former livestock market on Priory Bridge Road last Thursday and they remained on the site today (March 4).
The travellers did not want to speak to the County Gazette when approached yesterday (March 3) and a photo posted on social media caused a stir when it showed Taunton Deane Council's sign "delivering Taunton's vision" next to Firepool with the traveller's caravans in the background.
Kit Chapman, proprietor of The Castle at Taunton and member of Taunton Forward, a taskforce of people trying to improve Taunton's business, shopping, tourism and leisure sectors, said the irony of the situation was "quite delicious".
He added: "The huge hoarding at Firepool with the traveller's site next to it sends out a bad message and shows we have an incompetent council.
"In one breath this is very funny, but in the next it is a joke too far.
"We are trying to drive inward investment but this is bad publicity for Taunton and for people like me and dozens of others who are trying to improve the town."
Taunton Deane Council have earmarked Firepool as one of the main areas to regenerate as they look to provide for a population likely to increase by 20,000 to 85,000 by 2028.
Their plans for the site include a south-facing waterfront and a boulevard connecting the railway station to Coal Orchard, providing a gateway to the town centre from the north.
Other potential uses could include a number of large shops, including a major food store, a cinema and other leisure facilities, a cafe/restaurant, 400 homes or a multi-storey car park with up to 700 spaces.
Mr Chapman said Taunton is perfectly located with good communication networks and beautiful countrysides but claimed the council are frittering it all away.
He added: "It is driving me mad – we [Taunton Forward] want to work with the council and I have tried to arrange meetings because we are all in this together so I cannot understand why their Conservative members will not link arms with us to take this forward.
"It really does upset me and I am often accused of doing Taunton down but it is actually the reverse, I want to get something done."
A council spokesman said officers have taken the first formal legal steps to clear the traveller encampment by serving them with a Notice of Direction to leave the site today (March 4).
The notice will require them to leave by 6pm tomorrow - if they don't then a court order would be sought.
This follows efforts to encourage them to leave voluntarily.

Actually, with Apple, it might not be as expensive as you think. They generally are very nice to schools and if they explain what happened, it is possible that Apple will work something out with the school.
It would generate a lot of goodwill for Apple, which they could probably use right now between the Malware items popping up everywhere and the Greenpeace protests.
That being said, this kid was just plain dumb and I hope they lock him away for a very long time and possibly the parents as well, after all, they are responsible for educating their children about what is right and wrong.
Actually the School system sucks and are a bunch of theives with the prices of a book costs. I am glad Apple is charging the school system a hell of alot money. Karma.
I blame the parents for the values and manors they teach him. Also why was there $36,000 in school equipment laying around unsecured. There is just enough money in a band room and even thats locked.How much piss can come out An 11 year old? lol
Side note who was watching the kid?
Sounds like a whiz kid to me! Pun intended!!
i think this kid needs a good beating and then make him work throughout school pick up trash of something until he pays up. i doubt this kids is going uphill from here.....
**Mod edit: unnecessary comment**
On a note pertaining to the article. I think the school's insurance will cover this, or the state depending on whether it was public or private. So no harm no foul. The computer's probably weren't purchase for retail since they were bought in bulk.
Hmm maybe teaching (you know that thing they're supposed to do in schools) the kids better morals, parents play their part but schools are supposed to educate, and btw sack the numpty who left that kind of expensive equiptment laying around unsupervised long enough for a child to p#%$ on it!

20 June 2012
We need to be very careful whenever we discuss advanced defensive metrics, such as UZR (click here for a UZR explanation), when the sample size is small. Conventional wisdom says three years of defensive data is as reliable as one year of offensive data (due to factors such as number of fielding opportunities and the limitations in available batted ball data), so our current 67 game sample on Miguel Cabrera would be akin to 22 games worth of batting numbers.*
So we obviously can't make any "true talent level" claims based on this small data set, but we also can't say that UZR tells us what has happened so far this year. All we can discuss is what UZR has recorded as having happened so far this year. The distinction may seem small, but it's important.
*We know that 22 games of batting data is full of noise due to random variation. For example, Ramon Santiago hit .163/.208/.224 through his first 22 games this season. Since then (29 games), he's hit .284/.392/.388. Are either of those stretches his true talent level? No. In fact, we probably get closest if we just average the whole year together to get his .233/.318/.319 line.
But it wouldn't be fun to simply put aside the data while calling it unreliable would it? Let's take a look at his UZR data (as reported by FanGraphs) for this season.
As you can see in the table, UZR records Miguel Cabrera as having cost the Tigers four runs defensively compared to an average-fielding third baseman. The UZR/150 column tells us that this rate, if continued out for a 150 game season, would result in a net loss of 10.3 runs. That's fairly bad to be sure (he's currently last among qualified third basemen), but it's not nearly as bad as many of us feared he would be.
I did some rough calculations before the season began, and found that Cabrera would need to be nearly 27 runs below average at third base in order for the experiment to be a complete failure. I estimated that Cabrera would end the season between -15 runs and -18 runs defensively (and I may have been one of the more optimistic prognosticators).
But to me, it's more interesting for us now to look away from the totals to see how they are derived. The three columns on the left tell us double play runs (DPR), range runs (RngR), and error runs (ErrR). We can see that Cabrera is clearly limited by his range. We all expected this. He's a big man, and he's simply not able to move fast enough to get to a lot of baseballs, so it should surprise no one to see a big -7.20 recorded in that column.
Our worst fear, though, was that he was going to have poor range and mishandle playable balls and throw the ball away with regularity (this is what happened for the short time he played third for the Tigers in 2008). But that doesn't appear to be the case right now. In fact, our UZR table displays Miguel as being above average in starting double plays and avoiding errors, to the tune of +3.20 runs.
I would call this a pleasant surprise so far (caveats still remain that the numbers can change rapidly), but it's not entirely shocking. Even while at first base the past few years, Cabrera showed us that he still had a strong arm capable of making accurate throws. He seemed to be as good as anyone at starting the 3-6-3 (or 3-6-1) double play, and he was never afraid to throw to third to gun down the lead runner trying to advance from second on a ground ball to the right side of the infield.
We're obviously a long way from declaring success or failure (although these numbers and the eye test suggest he's not drowning), but it's encouraging to see some of these metrics. We conceded that his range would be lacking well before the season began, but he's otherwise displaying a good feel for the position.

A feminist following Steubenville
While I have mixed feelings about saying this, it's been a big year for sexual violence in the media so far. Following a year of sexual abuse blowing sports culture out of the water, we've started off 2013 with protests over the Delhi Gang Rape and national outcry over the happenings in a football town in Ohio. I starkly remember the morning when a coworker popped into my cube with a warning that a new case was about to explode (note to readers, if you start a blog, people will come to you with ideas when they think something should be blogged about). Learning about Steubenville, and all of the blaming and belittling reactions that followed the case, was more than a little overwhelming for us. No matter how long you work in the anti-sexual violence movement, jarring cases and sickening responses will still turn your stomach.
Steubenville and some of the other recent cases make me sad in a number of ways. First, it's 2013 and there's still rape. I'd hoped that 2012 would be the end of it, but I guess I still have a job—oh well, maybe next year. Second, we still live in a world where people, and particularly female-bodied and gender-variant folks, are consistently and systematically devalued, objectified, violated, and disrespected. Enough of this already. Third, people will still watch something like this happen and fail to stop it. They might take pictures and videos and post them online, but they won't interrupt, make a call, or speak out about how wrong rape/ assault/ violence/ harassment/ bullying/ degradation/ exploitation/ you-get-the-idea really is. Fourth, our culture is still blaming the victim and refusing to hold perpetrators accountable.
Several reports have discussed how social media reactions have garnered a Twitter and Facebook-based judge and jury in this case. I typically take the position that we need more public outcry and calls for accountability when it comes to sexual violence. Ideally though, I would like to at least get to the place where it doesn't take a media blast for people to make the choice to help or for systems to respond to these cases with empathy, respect, and accountability.

Roger Federer motored through a few opening-match niggles to produce a turnaround 5-7 6-0 6-2 victory over Tunisian wild card Malek Jaziri to reach the second round of the Dubai Open on Monday.
The Swiss second seed, playing for his sixth trophy at the Aviation club, was caught out by the national number one, who surprised the 17-time Grand Slam winner by winning the first set after Federer had missed on three break point chances.
But the fairytale evaporated after the 41-minute set, with Federer settling into his game and running out the winning with ten aces and five breaks of serve from 11 chances.
"The margins are small," said Federer, who is defending his title from 2012.
"He played a great first set. I struggled with the wind; it was also a first round.
"I'm happy I made the turnaround. It's a big relief for me. I'm glad to get another chance to move ahead."
Federer improved to 8-2 on the season after beating his number 128 opponent, who lost in Dubai qualifying a year ago.
Two-time finalist Mikhail Youzhny also made a great escape to start his 12th appearance at the event, staging a fighting comeback over Blaz Kavcic 1-6 6-1 6-3.
"It was a bad start for me, in the first half hour, first set, I played so many mistakes," the Russian said.
Eighth seed Youzhny, who lost title bids in 2007 and 2010 to Federer and Novak Djokovic respectively, was joined as a winner on opening day by seventh seed Andreas Seppi.
The Italian who had lost five times in the Dubai first round finally broke his duck at the expense of Paul-Henri Mathieu 6-3 7-5.
The Frenchman is still looking for his first victory of 2013 after missing more than a year of play with a knee injury.
Czech Lukas Rosol, the man who crushed Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon, started with a defeat of Italian Matteo Viola 6-3 7-5.

Cricket Canada is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Vice President Clifford Cox. Cliff, a former national team captain and a fixture in BC cricket for over 4 decades, passed away in Vancouver on Saturday.
A true sportsman and competitor, he actively competed in and guided the sport for over 70 years. Currently, Cliff was the 3rd Vice President of Cricket,representing Canada internationally, on the Board of BC Cricket and a registered player for the Meraloma Club. He was a big advocate for the game and never missed an opportunity to make sure you were up to speed on the latest cricket news.
He will be sadly missed by his wife of 55 years, Doreen, daughters Liz and Joanne and their families, sister Carol and her daughter Mandy. He will be fondly remembered by his staff, many business associates, cricket, theatrical and close friends.
President Ranjit Saini spoke briefly in Toronto regarding the passing of a dear friend.
"Cliff Cox was a foundation of Canadian Cricket and a dedicated volunteer. He was a dear friend and a close advisor to me. In all times of difficulties and severe stress I would phone him and seek advice. Cliff brought peace and laughter to my life and was a person that could share my sorrows and excitement. While Cliff will live forever in our hearts, I will miss him dearly every moment of my life."

ST. LOUIS (AP) Chad Johnsons on-field antics for Cincinnati and a pregame speech by St. Louis retiring offensive line coach Jim Hanifan inspired Rams defensive end Grant Wistrom.
Wistrom tied his career best with 2 1/2 sacks, leading a second-half shutdown of the Bengals as the Rams clinched a first-round playoff bye with a 27-10 victory Sunday.
The Rams (12-3) also took the inside track for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs as the NFCs best team when Philadelphia (11-4) lost in overtime to San Francisco.
The Bengals (8-7) fell out of a tie for the AFC North lead with one game to go.
Just respect the game, that was his main message, Wistrom said of Hanifans sometimes-rambling speech. You dont need to hide a cell phone under a goal pad.
Wistrom was referring to the action of New Orleans receiver Joe Horn, who made a call on his cell phone and was fined subsequently fined $30,000 by the NFL after the first of his four TD catches a week earlier against the New York Giants.
You dont need to hide a sign in the end zone saying, Please dont fine me, Wistrom added. That stuffs not necessary. Thats not how this game was started and thats not how you should play the game.
Johnson was fined $10,000 for the preprinted sign after he scored the first touchdown in a victory a week earlier against San Francisco the third time hes been fined this season for celebrating. During the buildup to this game he said he had two more games this season, meaning two more fines.
On Sunday, Johnson had seven catches for 115 yards, setting a franchise single-season yardage record with 1,326. He also might have invited another fine from the NFL because he wore orange shoes in violation of the uniform code.
That was the only fine he was going to get today, Wistrom said. He wasnt talking that much out there today. He doesnt score any touchdowns, it doesnt really give you a platform.
Johnson wasnt chirping too much after the game, either. It hurts to practice hard all week and come out with a loss, he said. Theyre the greatest show on turf, were the greatest improvement on grass.
Marshall Faulk scored two touchdowns, and Torry Holt had his 10th 100-yard receiving game of the season as the Rams avoided a letdown a week after clinching the NFC West. The Rams finish the regular season next week at Detroit.
The Bengals, on the other hand, will need some help to make the playoffs for the first time since 1990.
The Baltimore Ravens (9-6) shut out the Cleveland Browns 35-0 on Sunday and lead the North by a game heading into the final weekend. The Bengals finish at home against the Browns, and the Ravens are at home against Pittsburgh.
The Bengals hold all the relevant tiebreakers over Baltimore if the teams end with the same record.
Its not in our hands anymore, coach Marvin Lewis said. So weve just got to and beat Cleveland and see what happens.
The Rams broke a 7-7 second-quarter tie and pulled away in the second half to finish 8-0 at home their second unbeaten season at home since moving to St. Louis in 1995. Theyve won 14 straight in their dome, breaking a record they set from 1998-00.
Marc Bulger was 24-for-38 for 229 yards with touchdown passes of 28 yards to Holt in the second quarter and 9 yards to Faulk early in the fourth. Holt caught 10 passes for 124 yards.
Faulk had 121 yards on 22 carries, his fifth 100-yard game in six weeks. His touchdown catch was his first in his last 11 games, dating to Oct. 20, 2002, against Seattle.

A WOMAN who hit another vehicle several times in a car park and drove off despite a witness trying to stop her has appeared in court.
Susan Ann House, aged 63, damaged a Ford Mondeo and left the scene while its driver was busy in York city centre, said Sam Law, prosecuting.
Police later found House at her Gilling East home near Helmsley.
Another driver reported seeing House driving a Landrover Freelander out of its parking place in Castle car park on Friday, January 3, at about 3pm.
"He watched as it reversed out and hit a Ford Mondeo several times that was in the parking bay opposite," said the prosecutor at York Magistrates' Court.
The witness got out of his vehicle to tell her what she had done, but although she responded, she then pulled forward and drove away, the court heard.
He took her registration number and left it on the windscreen of the Ford Mondeo, which had been dented in the incident, said Ms Law.
House, who is retired, pleaded guilty to careless driving, failing to stop and failing to report an accident.
She was ordered to pay £663 including a £525 fine, a £53 statutory surcharge and £85 prosecution costs.
The defendant was also given eight penalty points.
The court heard she already has three on her licence from a speeding offence in July 2012.
House told the court: "I was aware, I think, I nudged the car, like you had opened a car door and hit a car door.
"I can't recall this man actually telling me I had hit the car, but he must have done so.
"If I had hit a car and done any damage I certainly would have stopped.
"I would never have driven away.
I have never, ever, previously in my life driven away from the scene of an accident.
"I am very sorry for the damage I caused to the car and I am pleased the insurance company has now dealt with the damage."

In Caffeine I, we talked about what caffeine is and how it works on the mind. In addition to working as a brain stimulant, caffeine has also been shown to improve athletic performance and endurance.
Two additional things to keep in mind about caffeine are that it is a diuretic and it causes increased calcium loss. So, if you consume caffeine, you should make sure that you are drinking enough water to avoid dehydration and that you are getting enough calcium in your diet.
It's probably a good idea to limit your caffeine intake to 250mg per day (less if you are pregnant). Unfortunately, companies rarely label their products with the amount of caffeine that they contain. Here is a little chart to help you.
