" I stayedfor a week in a single room during a conference/holiday stay. The manager was very friendly, and did everything to make my stay very pleasant. The Grosvenor is in a quiet cul-de-sac, but is also only 15-20 minutes' walk from the Grassmarket on the south side of the castle and Princes Street on the north; about 150m away there is a regular tram and several buses into the city (incl. the 100, a frequent airport express service). I would certainly return (despite the Edinburgh 'summer'!). "- Anonymous

THE SPIRIT KEEPER by K. B. Laugheed, 2013. The very first sentence of the book grabbed me, partly because it's an Irish tale, and partly because it takes place in my home state, I live only 3 hours upstate from Lancaster. Here it is by the way, my teaser just for you:
"This is the account of Katie O'Toole, late of Lancaster Co. PA, removed from her family by savages on March the 2nd in the year of Our Lord, 1747."
The second sentence was also an attention grabber:
"I wish I could say this is a true and honest account, but I see no way the likes of me can make such a claim."
I've only read the first page my friends, but the blurb on the back of the trade paperback promises the book to be very interesting. 17 year old Katie is taken from her home by two strange Indians who claim they have been searching for her. Syawa, a gifted holy-man, and his bodyguard, Hector. Do you feel any anger over the use of the word "Indians"? I don't but I don't run my life by political correctness) Of course she has flaming red hair and ice blue eyes instead of the green ones any true blooded Irish immigrant heroin usually has, but still an all I will read this book and let you know what I think of it.
NOTE: Katie is now traveling west with her Native American companions, where she meets up with several different villages and their inhabitants and she is slowly learning their language and hand gestures to communicate. That is all I will tell you for now, don't want to ruin the ending!
Final Note: I really enjoyed this book and plan on reading more of K.B. Laugheed's work!

DAKAR: Lawyers acting for Chad's former president Hissene Habre launched an appeal Monday against his life sentence for war crimes and crimes against humanity, after a conviction hailed as a landmark for Africa.
The Extraordinary African Chambers, a body created by Senegal and the African Union (AU), sentenced Habre in May to life behind bars, an unprecedented ruling seen as a blow to the impunity long enjoyed by repressive rulers.
Opening the appeal Monday, lawyer Mbaye Sene told the court the judgement should be thrown out as there was "not a shred of proof for the guilt of president Habre".
Habre, 74, who ruled Chad from 1982 to 1990, refuses to recognise the court's authority but his court-appointed lawyers are undertaking an appeal on his behalf, which will resume Tuesday. The president of the appeal court Wafi Ougadeye said its deliberations would continue without Habre's presence after a defence team request.
Ougadeye said Habre had replied to a letter from the court with the assertion that he did recognise its authority and therefore "was not able to receive any document issued by it."
One of Habre's most high-profile campaigning victims, Souleymane Guengueng, told AFP he had "no doubt the judgement will be upheld."
"One cannot violate international law with impunity," said Guengueng, who spent two years in detention in the hands of Habre's notorious Documentation and Security Directorate (DDS), Chad's secret police.
The verdict will be final. If his conviction is upheld, Habre will serve his sentence in Senegal or in another AU country. The hearing is expected to last several days, with the final decision expected by April 30. The May verdict brought closure for relatives of up to 40,000 people killed and many more kidnapped, raped or tortured during Habre's time as president. "The trial of Hissene Habre last year was the result of a tireless battle by thousands of victims and their relatives to ensure justice for crimes under international law committed in Chad between 1982 and 1990," said Gaetan Mootoo, West Africa researcher at Amnesty International.
"It gave hope to others around the world that it is possible to end impunity even where it is most entrenched," he said in a statement ahead of the appeal.
In July, Habre was further ordered to pay up to 30,000 euros ($33,000) to each victim who suffered rape, arbitrary detention and imprisonment during his rule, as well as to their relatives.

If you followed Seoul Fashion Week last week, you may have noticed that K-pop besties Tiffany and Bora were EVERYWHERE! The confirmed fashionistas were front row fixtures at Fleamadonna, YCH and SJYP shows. First up is the Fleamadonna show and both pop stars could be seen in the current Spring/Summer 2016 collection. Bora's ensemble included an F-Girls White Crop Top ($59) and Denim Ribbon Pants ($163). A pair of baby pink Christian Louboutin Pigalle Spiked Pumps ($1195) added a bit of color to the all-white look. Tiffany wore three sky blue pieces — a Lace See-Through Shirt ($77), satiny Halterneck Bra Top ($106) and Patent Leather Mini Skirt ($379).
The girls next met up at the YCH show, where they both wore items from the runway collection they were viewing! The Fall/Winter 2016 collection being shown was called "Queen" and that fits Bora's dress well. She can be seen in an Off-Shoulder Crown Embellished Dress with a pair of Valentino Rockstud Pumps ($1095). Tiffany rocked a furry mini-dress with cut-out shoulders.
The last show that Bora and Tiffany attended was for Steve J & Yoni P's secondary label SJYP. Bora wears a Dino Cap ($50) and a black Logo Trim Dress. Tiffany wears an Off-Shoulder Pinstripe Dress, which is similar to pieces in the Steve J & Yoni P Spring/Summer 2016 collection, but the actual dress wasn't seen on the runway. Perhaps she scored a custom piece from her designer pals?
A bonus for fans of Bora — the Sistar member also attended the Lucky Chouette show during fashion week. She wore a Metallic Boat Neck Knit Pullover ($154) with a Rose Print Mini Dress, a look seen worn by Irene Kim on the during last season's show!

I'm mean someone in their early twenties, who had never dated before or had a romantic relationship. Do girls expect guys to have more experience? (If so, can it be faked?)
Most Helpful Girl
I would never "look" for someone with experience. In fact, I would love both of us discover romance and sex together, but in case the person I like already has gone through it before, I wouldn't mind much since the guy's personality and the compatibility with me is more important for me.10|10|0
If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I get the impression that women in their twenties would be turned off by a guy never having had a girl friend before. (There's one girl I'd been on a date with and she'd seemed keen to have anther one until she found out I hadn't had girl friend.)
- Show AllShow Less
Even though dating does happen more commonly these days and Facebook & Whatsapp are all over the place, I have not come across girls not wanting to date inexperienced guys. It depends on how good he is in studies/job mostly, and how friendly and sociable he is. Good looks are important mainly for girls, not for guys.
Thanks for MH :)

Moms Discuss Survival Tips for Summer
Web Resources
Each year, children look forward to the thrills of summer vacation — no school and fun in the sun. But finding ways to make use of their kid's free time can pose some tough challenges for parents. Mocha Moms Jolene Ivey, Cheli English-Figaro and Davina McFarland are joined by guest mom Kristen Page-Kirby, editor of Chesapeake Family Magazine, to discuss summer activities.
CHERYL CORLEY, host:
They say it takes a village to raise a child, but maybe kids just need a few Mocha Moms, and we visit with members of this mother support group each weeks for their common sense and their savvy parenting tips and this week the moms talk about surviving the summer. Summer, of course, is a time tom relax and enjoy the sun, but it can also become a nightmare if your kids are lounging around the house, and we'll talk about how to make it fun for both you and your children. With us are our regular Mocha Moms Jolene Ivey, Cheli English-Figaro and Davina McFarland, and we're also pleased to have with us, Kristen Page-Kirby, editor of Chesapeake Family Magazine. Welcome, everybody to the show.
Ms. JOLENE IVEY (Mocha Mom): Hey, Cheryl.
Ms. CHELI ENGLISH-FIGARO (Mocha Mom): Hey, Cheryl.
Ms. DAVINA MCFARLAND (Mocha Mom): Hey, Cheryl.
Ms. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (Editor, "Chesapeake Family Magazine"): Hi.
CORLEY: Well, Cheli what is a parent's worst nightmare as summer approaches?
Ms. ENGLISH-FIGARO: Mom, what am I going to do next? I'm bored. I think that's probably the worst nightmare. My kids didn't really have that opportunity to say that though because when I was younger and when they were younger, I used to home school them and so summer came, it was my time to be off, and so we just hit the streets. Everyday friends and I used to get together and have like these massive field trips, but now I don't home school anymore. We do camps now. This is the first year my kids have actually gone to camp.
CORLEY: All right. Well, I want to talk about camps in a little bit, but Jolene, there seems to be two schools of thought as far as summer. First, let your kids figure out their own summer activities and second, then there's the parent that maps out everything for their kids to do during the summer and what do you think of those two approaches?
Ms. IVEY: I lean more towards the first one. I feel like summer is a time - if kids are bored, that's cool. You know, you then have the opportunity to figure out to un-bore yourself. That's now your job. It's not my job. And I think it's important for kids to learn how to entertain themselves and, you know, summer's a great time to do it, so it's OK if your kids are bored. I think that's all right.
CORLEY: So you think it encourages their creativity then?
Ms. IVEY: As long as you provide opportunity for them to do something and give them some guidelines so they're not sitting in front of the computer or the TV all day, you know. That's not how you want them to entertain themselves, but too much activity, too much structured time is not good for them.
CORLEY: OK. Well, Davina, it seems like a lot of adults have memories of summer activities that they really didn't like as children, and if you plan your kids activities, should you keep their interest in mind or is this the time when you really sort of introduce them to something new?
Ms. MCFARLAND: I think you do a little of both. I think you let them pick a few things that they are interested in and it's something that they want to do, but then of course you use this opportunity - you have a lot of free time where you can begin to introduce, you know, other things. My kids started playing tennis because I introduced it to them. They never came up to me and said I want to play tennis. I thought its summer, you can try it, what do you think? And now it's one of their great loves.
Ms. MCFARLAND: So, you know, you do a little bit of both. Swimming they picked, tennis I picked.
CORLEY: And those are healthy things, so those are the kinds of things you want your kids to be kind of like physically active so sports camp perhaps is a way to have them be active and either find something they like or introduce them to something new that they end up loving?
Ms. MCFARLAND: I think for them, summer, their brain kind of shuts down a little bit so they're like, OK, whatever physical things we can do? That's our interest.
CORLEY: All right. Well, Kristen, "Chesapeake Family" recently published a list of exciting and out-of-the-ordinary things to do with your family. First of all, what's wrong with just plain old summer camp?
Ms. PAGE-KIRBY: Well, there's nothing wrong with plain old summer camp, but there are times when you can really use summer to come together as a family and summer camp, obviously kind of it by its definition, the kids go one place and the parents go another place whether it's work or taking care of younger siblings or anything like that. And we really wanted to focus on things that the families could do together regardless of whatever the age of the siblings are, you know, obviously a 12-year-old and a 2-year-old are going to be interested in very different things.
But we really wanted to give this time - summer can be a really great time for parents and kids to reconnect on different terms that they might not be able to during the school year, and so we really wanted to kind of encourage people also to get out and explore their local communities. We wanted, you know, our focus is get out and see something in your local neighborhood that you normally wouldn't see either because you don't have the time or, you know, who often has a Tuesday morning free, you know, but in summer you might be able to be able to pull that together, and go check out a story time at the library or check out a special exhibit at a museum or something like that.
CORLEY: So a time to be a tourist in your own town or something?
Ms. PAGE-KIRBY: We're big proponents of that and especially this summer with fuel prices and airline prices being what they are, this is a great time, you know, everyone tosses around the term staycation, you know, taking your vacation and sticking close to home, and one thing that kind of concerns me is that I'm worried that parents are going to take their very precious vacation time and are going to use it to stick around the house and re-caulk the tub or, you know, do something like that, and we really want to encourage you, if you're going to stay close to home, take that time and use it as a vacation. You know, let the house get a little messy. The tub will get recaulked eventually, don't worry about it, you know, take the time to really reconnect with your kids whether you do kind of a theme for the week. It can be as simple as going to every elementary school playground in your community, in your county, and ranking them all, to really get to know your kids and to really have fun yourself, you know, let the parenting go a little bit and just pretend that you're on vacation.
CORLEY: All right. Well, if you're just joining us you're listening to Tell Me More from NPR News. I'm speaking with our Mocha Moms Davina McFarland, Cheli English-Figaro, and Jolene Ivey, and Kristen Page-Kirby from "Chesapeake Family Magazine" about how to survive the family with your kids. Now, Kristen, gas prices are taking a lot of discretionary dollars, and a lot of families trying to tighten their budget, and short of sending your kids off to work, what are some tips for cutting costs on kids' activities during the summer?
Ms. PAGE-KIRBY: Well, the first place you should go is your local library. Libraries are incredibly underutilized, and they are getting so good in terms of embracing technology and at targeting kids of all ages from toddlers all the way up to teenagers. A lot of them have their own Nintendo Wiis, so they can have a Wii game night, they've got story times, they've got book clubs, really check those out because the vast majority of them are free, maybe a dollar, maybe two dollars, and they're close so you're not driving for hours and hours and hours.
The second place is your local parks and recs department because not only do they have ongoing low-cost classes in pretty much everything you can imagine, often they will offer some sort of one time class in candle making or some sort of craft that you can do and take home that's only a onetime thing, it's 12 bucks, you know, and you end up with bath salts at the end of it and so libraries and parks and recs department. Hit them as much as you can because they're usually fantastic places with fantastic people who really want to engage kids, and they're set up for kids so use them.
CORLEY: All right. Well, Jolene, your kids range from very young to teenagers and tell me about your plan, how do you plan what to do with your teenagers particularly in the summer?
Ms. IVEY: Well, my oldest child's 18, and his plan for the summer is go to work 40 a hours a week, you got to bring home some money to help with college costs, so he's got his summer all planned out. And the next one, David, he's 15, and he's going to mow lawns this summer so that's his money-making venture for the summer which is good for him, you know, he'll manage his own money and stuff.
CORLEY: And so teenagers are more concerned about making a little cash over the summer?
Ms. IVEY: I think so.
CORLEY: Kristen, do you have any suggestions at all for parents of teenagers and what they should be doing in the summer?
Ms. PAGE-KIRBY: I think teenagers should be working during the summer.
CORLEY: OK. So you agree with Jolene?
Ms. PAGE-KIRBY: I do agree. I think that that's - either working or volunteering, but teenagers - I really think that's where you need to start following their lead a little bit more. You take a four-year-old to a museum and it's interactive, he's going to think it's cool. The 12-year-old, you know, 12, 13, 14…
CORLEY: It's getting a little dicey.
Ms. PAGE-KIRBY: Right.
CORLEY: Cheli, you look like…
Ms. ENGLISH-FIGARO: Yeah. I don't know about that. I mean I don't have a 15 year old, but I have a 14 year old, and he is going to University of Maryland this summer because they have these programs. There are a lot of colleges that have these enrichment programs that are really dirt cheap for teenagers, and so he's going to be doing some college prep programs. And I think the summertime is a nice opportunity to enrich the teenager's life just like you would enrich the child's life.
CORLEY: OK. Well, I want to ask each of you how you factor the dads into the summer as, you know, is this a time for father-daughter bonding or father-son bonding? What do you think?
Ms. ENGLISH-FIGARO: Fishing trip. You have this one annual fishing trip that occurs and that's about it, and then just whatever the regular vacation is.
Ms. IVEY: I think my husband's really good about year-round helping out or playing with the kids, taking them to play soccer or whatever, but he's not an outdoorsman. You cannot get my husband to take the kids camping or something, so that really falls more onto me.
CORLEY: That gets rid of the fishing trip idea.
Ms. IVEY: Yeah. Unfortunately, but everybody's different. Every family's different, so you really have to tailor it to your situation.
CORLEY: Davina?
Ms. MCFARLAND: I think my husband might be the exact opposite because my husband is the outdoorsman, and I'm so not. He is very involved in scouting, and my kids go to day camp every year, and my husband is the camp director so they spend the whole week with dad at camp, and he enjoys that very much and of course the boys do, too. They really enjoy that.
CORLEY: Well, that's cool. Any final survival tips for the summer? Have we covered all the bases here?
Ms. IVEY: Don't forget to have some fun that you want to have. I mean let's not make it all about the kids. That's very unhealthy. You need to make plans to get together with your girlfriends or whatever it is you want to do.
CORLEY: Yes. Very true.
Ms. MCFARLAND: I have a funny story. When I first met Jolene, and I remember she said she had five sons and I thought, oh my gosh you must love it when school starts because we met in June. And she said, are you kidding? I hate school. I love the summer. And I thought, wow, she's nuts. But then when my kids started school I thought aha, I get it. I get it. I don't like this whole getting up and the schedule and all that stuff so, you know, enjoy your summer. Don't fuss about oh I don't know what to do with them. If you don't know what to do, do nothing. That's fun, too.
CORLEY: All right. Mocha Moms Davina McFarland, Jolene Ivey, and Cheli English-Figaro and Kristen Page-Kirby, editor at "Chesapeake Family Magazine," they joined us here in our Washington studio. Thank you so much ladies.
Ms. MCFARLAND: Thank you.
Ms. IVEY: Thanks, Cheryl.
Ms. ENGLISH-FIGARO: Thanks, Cheryl.
MS. PAGE-KIRBY: Thank you.
CORLEY: We'll have links to their blogs at our website. Check out the Tell Me More section of the npr.org website. And that's our program for today. I'm Cheryl Corley and this is Tell Me More from NPR News. Let's talk more tomorrow.

Photos: Funky METERS Headline Fess Jazztival Kickoff Party at Tip's
On Saturday night, it was hard to tell that the confetti-laden dust had just settled at the corner of Napoleon and Tchoupitoulas. There was a large buzz in the air as the funky METERS headlined a "Fess Jazztival" (Tipitina's annual night series of concerts during Jazz Fest) kickoff party with help from New Breed Brass Band.
Playing a setlist mostly comprised of Meters originals ("Soul Island", "Fire on the Bayou" and "Ain't No Use" to name a few of the classics the quartet hit), the quartet took the crowded house at Tipitina's deep into the night, showcasing the fact that this now quarter-century deep touring outfit is still viable and flourishing.
Now that we are all gearing up for Jazz Fest, there is going to be much to fill our ears and interest our eyes. Here's some shots from the Meters's show that will fulfill at least one of those.

Santa Clara , California – (The Hosting News) – February 16, 2009 – Technology firm and web hosting provider, Sun Microsystems, Inc., has introduced its newest line of highly energy efficient, flexible data centers, through the opening of a facility in Broomfield, Colorado.
Dave Douglas, Senior Vice President of cloud computing and chief sustainability officer, Sun Microsystems remarked, "The Broomfield datacenter showcases revolutionary datacenter design with the latest in modularity, scalability and flexibility to drive incredible efficiencies in cost, electricity and overall carbon savings. As a company we've achieved our first 20 percent reduction in electricity usage since 2002, and the Broomfield datacenter is a great step forward in meeting our goal of another 20 percent reduction."
Powered by its award-winning Sun technology and revolutionary design, the data center is estinated to save 11,000 metric tons of CO2 per year, along with the new advanced efficiency services.
Sun developed the new data center and efficiency systems in response to market demand. The largest datacenter consolidation project undertaken in the company's history, the Broomfield facility incorporates the latest in Sun's portfolio of energy-efficient systems and expertise, including breakthroughs in innovative datacenter design and power and cooling technologies. With this project, Sun estimates it will save more than $1 million in electricity costs and 11,000 metric tons of CO2 per year in Broomfield and will help Sun reduce its carbon footprint by 6 percent in the U.S. Sun also announced the availability of new datacenter efficiency services to help customers retrofit and build more efficient datacenters like Sun's Broomfield and Santa Clara datacenters.
The new Broomfield datacenter follows similar Sun projects completed in Blackwater, UK, Santa Clara, Calif. and Bangalore, India in August 2007. It builds on designs used in Sun's Santa Clara datacenter and features water savings, chemical reduction, free air cooling and flywheel uninterruptible power supply (UPS). As in Santa Clara, the Broomfield datacenter is based on Sun's Pod Architecture, which delivers dramatic footprint compression while still providing capacity for future growth. A full complement of Sun's high-performance, energy-efficient SPARC and x64 servers, Open Storage and tape products and the OpenSolaris Operating System are at the heart of the Broomfield datacenter. Specifics products include the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 and M5000 servers, as well as the SunStorageTek SL8500 modular library system, the Sun Fire X4500 storage server and Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage Systems. These systems are part of a major hardware replacement program that led to a 66 percent space compression. In one example, Sun consolidated 63 servers and 30 direct attached storage devices to two Sun servers.
Through its own datacenter consolidation efforts around the world, Sun has achieved 60 percent datacenter square footage compression globally, decreasing the company's datacenter operating expenses by 30 percent in the Bay Area alone during the last two years. In October 2008, Sun announced the reduction of its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from U.S. operations by 23 percent, surpassing its goal five years early. The Broomfield datacenter is a major contributing factor in Sun's ability to reach its goal of another 20 percent reduction in GHG emissions.
Features of the new Sun Broomfield datacenter include:
- Greater space efficiency: A scalable, modular datacenter based on the Sun Pod Architecture led to a 66 percent footprint compression, by reducing 496,000 square feet from the former StorageTek campus in Louisville, Colo. to 126,000 square feet;
- Reduced electrical consumption: By 1 million kWh per month, enough to power 1,000 homes in Colorado;
- Reduced raised floor datacenter space: From 165,000 square feet to less than 700 square feet of raised floor datacenter space, representing a $4M cost avoidance;
- Greener, cleaner architecture: Including flywheel UPS that eliminates lead and chemical waste by removing the need for batteries, and a non-chemical water treatment system, saving water and reducing chemical pollution;
- Enhanced scalability: Incorporated 7 MW of capacity that scales up to 40 percent higher without major construction;
- Innovative cooling: The world's first and largest installation of Liebert advanced XD cooling system with dynamic cooling controls capable of supporting rack loads up to 30kW and a chiller system 24 percent more efficient than ASHRAE standards;
- Overall excellence: Recognized with two Ace awards for Project of the Year from the Associated Contractors of Colorado, presented for excellence in design, execution, complexity and environmental application.
As part of the company's Datacenter Efficiency Initiative, Sun recently announced its Datacenter Strategy, Design and Build Out services. With today's announcement, Sun highlighted its increasingly diverse bench of strategic partners, such as Winter Street Architects, Inc. and TeamQuest Corporation. These partners are collaborating with Sun's datacenter consultants to provide customers with innovative design and infrastructure components. In addition, these service offerings can help customers determine whether to optimize their current datacenters or build new ones, and are based on the same datacenter design methodologies and best practices Sun used in building its own datacenters. The services aim to maximize space utilization, minimize operating costs and accommodate future growth, all critical in today's economy. The new Strategy, Design and Build Out Services complement the Sun Eco Services Suite launched in August 2007. Complete details on Sun's Datacenter Consulting Services can be found at www.sun.com/datacenterdesign.
Sun promotes an actionable path to cut energy bills and reduce IT environmental impact through a three-step approach for assessing, optimizing and virtualizing IT infrastructures. This results in decisive actions that limit computing's impact on the planet and the bottom line of both Sun and its customers. Sun helps enable customers to reduce the GHG emissions and energy consumption of their IT infrastructures with a full portfolio of servers and storage, a complete suite of Eco Services and the Sun Modular Datacenter. Additionally, Sun continues to look for ways to decrease its carbon footprint through programs like OpenEco.org and Sun Open Work practice, Sun's extensive flexible work program and its global datacenter consolidation initiative. For more information on Sun's Eco Responsibility Initiative, visit www.sun.com/eco.
In addition, Sun's new Start-Up Program, is designed for members to work with Sun partners, Joyent and NaviSite, to rent discounted web hosting infrastructure based on Sun technologies.

OSU tops Big Ten in projected standings for 2015
Who will win the Big Ten in 2015? We dug into our PFF college football data — which includes grades for every player on every play of every game involving at least one FBS opponent last season — to help produce projected standings for this season.
Here's how we expect things to turn out, based on the strength of each team's rosters, and the quality of talent they saw leave after the 2014 season.
1. Ohio State Buckeyes (projected champions)
Offensive snaps lost: 3,169 (25.1 percent)
Defensive snaps lost: 3,461 (28.9 percent)
A national champion losing less than 30 percent of its snaps on both sides of the ball is a terrifying for teams throughout the nation, let alone in the Big Ten. Regardless of the outcome of the quarterback battle, the Buckeyes' offense is in safe hands with a ground game led by arguably the best running back in the nation, Ezekiel Elliot (88.9), and quality offensive linemen like Pat Elflein (81.4) and Taylor Decker (80.7) clearing a path for him. On the opposite side of the ball Joey Bosa (90.5) will miss the opening game of the season, but he is far from an isolated talent with the likes of Joshua Perry (88.7) and Adolphus Washington (81.4) merely the tip of a very talented defensive iceberg. Few teams can match the sheer depth and breadth of talent at Urban Meyer's disposal and the Buckeyes begin the season as favorites to retain their Big Ten crown.
2. Michigan State Spartans
Offensive snaps lost: 3,535 (31.0 percent)
Defensive snaps lost: 3,127 (32.9 percent)
The Spartans came up one game short of a trip to the Big Ten title game last season and their fans will hope that the returnees can put them over the top a year later. The likes of defensive end Shilique Calhoun (88.1), offensive tackle Jack Conklin (87.9) and center Jack Allen (86.5) give the Spartans some of the strongest lines in the nation, providing a strong foundation for new starters around them. However, question marks on both sides of the ball will determine how far the Spartans go. Whether Connor Cook (73.9) can perform more consistently and the linebacker corps overcome the loss of Ed Davis (85.4) and Taiwan Jones (80.4) will have a lot to do with how far Michigan State goes this season.
3. Michigan Wolverines
Offensive snaps lost: 2,396 (27.8 percent)
Defensive snaps lost: 2,894 (31.7 percent)
The biggest question mark over the Wolverines fortunes this season might be how you quantify the Jim Harbaugh effect. The pairing of Graham Glasgow (82.6) and Jack Miller (81.5) brings quality to an offensive line that will look to drive an offense that lacks proven quality at the quarterback position. Incoming quarterback Jake Rudock (75.9) was inconsistent for Iowa last season but came up with five strong showings, most notably against Wisconsin with a strong showing both as a passer (20/31, 311 yards and two TDs) and a runner (39 yards on four scrambles). Cornerback Jourdan Lewis (78.1) leads the defensive backfield having surrendered more than 50 yards in a game only once last season.
4. Penn State Nittany Lions
Offensive snaps lost: 2,466 (22.1 percent)
Defensive snaps lost: 3,834 (38.8 percent)
Much of the discussion around the Nittany Lions centers around the draft prospects of Christian Hackenberg (48.8), but without a big step forward from their signal caller in 2015 both the team and the individuals will struggle to prosper. Talent on the defensive side of the ball will be key to a strong second season for head coach James Franklin, with defensive tackle Anthony Zettel (86.8) leading the line up front while cornerback Trevor Williams (84.5) adds genuine quality on the back end. If Hackenberg is to make the big strides many hope for in his third season then he will need help and similar strides from wide receivers like DaeSean Hamilton (72.7), who dropped 10 passes last season.
5. Maryland Terrapins
Offensive snaps lost: 5,047 (51.8 percent)
Defensive snaps lost: 6,187 (51.4 percent)
Arguably the surprise package in the Big Ten last season, the Terrapins face an uphill task to repeat their third-place finish in the east having lost more than half of their playing time on both sides of the ball. A full and healthy return for Quinton Jefferson (78.9) will be crucial, as their top three defensive linemen were among the offseason departures. Jefferson impressed in Maryland's first three games last season racking up 15 pressures before succumbing to a torn ACL, cornerback William Likely (75.4) will seek to feed off the pressure generated to add to his six interceptions from a year ago. A decision at quarterback still looms but based on their performances last season neither Daxx Garman (65.6) nor Caleb Rowe (55.6) seems likely to elevate the Terrapins from their impressive debut season.
6. Rutgers Scarlet Knights
Offensive snaps lost: 5,754 (59.9 percent)
Defensive snaps lost: 5,623 (53.5 percent)
A comeback victory over Maryland capped off a solid first season for the Scarlet Knights but they face the task of replacing even more playing time than the Terrapins on both sides of the ball. The question for how far Rutgers can go is how far a few returning stars can take them. On offense Leonte Carroo (84.8) is among the best receivers in the nation, but whether he can repeat his performances of last season — let alone build on them with a new quarterback — is open to question. On defense Darius Hamilton (85.9) and Kemoko Turay (77.2) provide quality up front and off the edge. However, there are only 13 returning players team-wide that topped 300 snaps last season, and that lack of experience may just be too much for the Scarlet Knights to overcome.
7. Indiana Hoosiers
Offensive snaps lost: 3,352 (34.1 percent)
Defensive snaps lost: 3,903 (38.1 percent)
The Hoosiers weren't all about Tevin Coleman last season, but unfortunately most of their better players departed along with the running back. Indiana will hope that some solid performers on defense can help them limit the scoring of their opponents, easing the pressure on a defense seeking to replace their leading rushing (Coleman) and their leading receiver (Shane Wynn). That quest will start up front where Darius Latham (80.4) and Nate Hoff (72.7) showed strongly alongside current Saint Bobby Richardson. On the back end freshman safety Chase Dutra performed well in limited snaps, collecting three interceptions and will seek to claim further playing time this season as the Hoosiers look to build on their solitary conference win from 2014.
1. Wisconsin Badgers
Offensive snaps lost: 4,864 (43.7 percent)
Defensive snaps lost: 2,942 (30.0 percent)
A spectacular loss to Ohio State in the title game took the gloss off a strong season for the Badgers, but new head coach Paul Chryst has plenty of talent returning to the team for a run at redemption in 2015. On defense Joe Schobert (81.2) should be a key contributor off the edge having got the better of Brandon Scherff in their meeting last season. The defense is led though by safety Michael Caputo (84.4) who led returning players with 48 stops last season, including five in the 34-24 victory over rival Minnesota that clinched the West division. On offense the loss of Rob Havenstein (82.5) and Kyle Costigan (82.5) may have a bigger effect on the offense with Corey Clement (78.3) a capable replacement waiting in the wings.
2. Nebraska Cornhuskers
Offensive snaps lost: 3,555 (32.0 percent)
Defensive snaps lost: 3,961 (37.3 percent)
New head coach Mike Riley inherits arguably the best returning talent in the West division, but question marks at key positions on the offense may hold the Cornhuskers back from dethroning Wisconsin. Running back Ameer Abdullah powered this offense last season with little help from his offensive line, and unless Terrell Newby (67.3) can improve with increased playing time, heavy pressure will fall on Tommy Armstrong (54.0) to be much better as a passer if the offense isn't to take a step backwards. The Cornhuskers defense is also led by a safety with Nate Gerry (86.6) recently named among our top 50 players in college football. Key to the defense's success may be improved consistency from the defensive tackle pairing of Maliek Collins (79.3) and Vincent Valentine (78.6). A late season lull in run defense from Collins in particular played its part in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa shredding the Cornhusker defense for 1,039 rushing yards in their final three regular season games.
3. Minnesota Golden Gophers
Offensive snaps lost: 4,400 (45.5 percent)
Defensive snaps lost: 3,539 (34.7 percent)
The Golden Gophers return some strong defensive contributors from a season ago but key losses on the offensive side of the ball may prove too difficult to overcome and challenge for the division title once again. Not only are star tight end Maxx Williams (90.5) and running back David Cobb (76.1) gone but also their best two run blocking linemen (Tommy Olson and Zac Epping). The defensive strength starts up front with Steven Richardson (78.7) and defensive end Theiren Cockran (81.4 pass rush) but the real strength is in the secondary. The Golden Gophers return three quality defensive backs with Briean Boddy-Calhoun (74.0) leading all Big Ten defensive backs last season with 14 combined interceptions (five) and pass defenses (nine). If quarterback Mitch Leidner (54.0) does not improve as a passer the pressure to replace so many key contributors on offense may see the Golden Gophers take a step back this season.
4. Northwestern Wildcats
Offensive snaps lost: 4,452 (41.8 percent)
Defensive snaps lost: 2,586 (25.3 percent)
The Wildcats found a potential star in freshman running back Justin Jackson (82.7) last season who excelled despite an offensive line that did little to open running lanes for him. Jackson gained 65 percent of his rushing yards after contact last season, breaking 64 tackles en route to a ten-touchdown season. The departure of top quarterback Trevor Siemian and top receiver Kyle Prater leaves the fortunes of the offense squarely on Jackson's sophomore shoulders. On defense the Wildcats boast the combination of perhaps the Big Ten's most unheralded pass rusher/cornerback combination. Nick VanHoose (83.6) missed the end of the season but played well up until that point and he will look to feed off the pressure from edge rusher Ifeadi Odenigbo (84.7 pass rush), who racked up eight pressures (4 Ht, 4 Hu) in the Wildcats' final victory of the season against Purdue.
5. Iowa Hawkeyes
Offensive snaps lost: 5,407 (49.5 percent)
Defensive snaps lost: 3,331 (34.1 percent)
The quarterback merry-go-round has been settled after the transfer of Jake Rudock with CJ Beathard (65.8) taking the helm of the offense. The likes of Tevaun Smith (76.8) and Jordan Canzeri (75.8) will be relied upon to ease Beathard into a full-time role but losses in the trenches may prove tough to overcome. Both tackles on the offensive and defensive side of the ball must be replaced with the loss of Carl Davis (85.8) and Louis Trinca-Pasat (83.1) on the defensive side of the ball leaving a yawning chasm of experience. Only Jaleel Johnson (69.1) played more than 200 snaps among returning defensive tackles placing the pressure on defensive end Drew Ott to build on an impressive 2014 season and lead the defensive line in his senior season after his production tailed off late last season.
6. Purdue Boilermakers
Offensive snaps lost: 2,610 (27.4 percent)
Defensive snaps lost: 3,960 (38.9 percent)
The Boilermakers boasted an unenviable quarterback situation last season — the departure of Danny Etling clarifies the situation but Austin Appleby (55.6) must up his game if this is to be a real positive for Purdue. The strength of both units comes at the heart of both lines with center Robert Kugler (83.7) helping pave the way for an offense that gained 6.9 yards per carry on A-gap carries last season, continued strong play from Kugler will be crucial as the Boilermakers seek to replace both Akeem Hunt and Raheem Mostert. The defense is anchored by Jake Replogle (78.4 pass rush) and Ra'Zahn Howard (77.9 run defense) who will seek to play off of each other's strengths to help the Purdue defense make strides this season.
7. Illinois Fighting Illini
Offensive snaps lost: 4,033 (37.8 percent)
Defensive snaps lost: 3,340 (30.3 percent)
Late-season victories over Penn State and Northwestern elevated the Fighting Illini to fifth in the West last season but an offseason to injury to star freshman receiver Mike Dudek (84.1) may prevent that momentum following into 2015. Offensive lineman Ted Karras (86.6) fought a lonely battle for much of last season and the linemen around him will need to make strides in 2015 if the Illini are to cover for any time Dudek misses. The Illini defensive line boasts quality run defenders, led by the likes of Jihad Ward (81.3 run defense), but a lack of production as pass rushers combined with a lack of quality in the secondary is a less than ideal combination attempting to slow down opposing passing attacks. Better tackling is a must as well, only Purdue racked up more than Illinois' 124 missed tackles among Big Ten West defenses last season.

Be the first to review
READY IN: 1hr 30mins
Recipe by DustyPyatt
This was super simple to make and my 2 year old just loved it! Even the adults at the party were inpressed! For her spots and tounge, I used blue and pink airheads referred to as taffy in the directions.
See Discussion:

- 4 eggs, to prepare cake mix
- 1 cup buttermilk, to prepare cake mix
- 1 (16 ounce) can vanilla frosting, plus
- 1 cup vanilla frosting
- royal blue food coloring paste
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease and flour baking pan with vegetable cooking spray and flour. Prepare cake mixes according to package directions, replacing the water with buttermilk, and increase eggs to 4.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth top. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean; about 32 to 35 minutes.
- Transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool for ten minutes.Invert and cool completely.
- Print the Blue's Cake Printable Templates, www.nickjr.com/food/character_food/blues_clues_recipes/blue_cake_templates.jhtml, and place the paper templates onto the cooled cakes. Cut out pieces using a small knife. Arrange cake pieces onto a serving platter or cardboard covered with foil.
- Divide 1/2 cup of frosting into two bowls.
- Tint one a dark blue and one a very dark royal blue.
- Transfer each color into a resealable bag.
- Spoon 1/4 cup of white frosting into a resealable bag.
- Tint the remaining frosting a light blue.
- Frost the entire cake with the light blue frosting using a small spatula.
- Heat the taffy in the microwave for a few seconds to soften. Roll out the blue taffy so that it's 1/8 inch thick. Cut out Blue's spots from the taffy and place on top of the cake. Reheat and reroll scraps if necessary.
- For her tongue, cut pink taffy into shape and press the back of a knife down the center for the crease.
- Cut around Blue's eyes from Blue's face printable. Use a toothpick to mark the eyes' shape. Pipe or squeeze the frosting from the bags to fill in the eye areas, make the mouth, nose and pupils.

Apparently, on g@g, there's a SOCIAL CLUB WITH NO YOUNG PEOPLE, in which people get told "standard/higher knowledge". However, everyone seems to be in this club, only I am excluded. And why do women never like me? FUCK YOU ALL I HAVE NO FRIENDS without "STANDARD KNOWLEDGE".
Those phrases sound familiar to you, boys and girls?
Ah... what would GAG be without users like them, huh? A place with no spammers posting the same brilliant questions again and again? Yes you'rrrre right! I often question myself why the admins never did anything to "reward" these brilliant geniuses for what they do on our beloved site. Now I know. Without them, GAG would be a more intelligent place to be, and where's the fun in that? We need these people with their own little worlds and twisted morals and values to moderate us!
Standard knowledge guy for moderator!
No young people in social clubs guy for moderator!
No woman likes me ever guy for moderator!
Who's with me, chicos y chicas?
Most Helpful Guy
I used to love gag, but not anymore. Just grew out of it I guess.22|00|0
What? No way! The presence of these users makes GAG awesome, don't you think?
Yes, but I think gag is unhealthy, at least in my case.
I think all this time, I've been socially frustrated and I've been using gag as a way to interact with other people. Recently I got a job and I've never made so many friends so fast. So after finally interacting with people in real life, gag is boring to me. Now I'm just 450 points away from my last Amazon gift card.
Ps: I say it's unhealthy because with all the time I've wasted on here, I could've done something productive. But other than that, I have learned a lot being on here. And met some cool people :)
I've never seen internet interaction as real interaction, maybe that's why I think differently than you. Besides, if I'm not on GAG, other things I do on the internet are as equally unproductive lol I'd usually watch YouTube or do a series marathon instead of working on my paper. So... yeah lol ;)

Squashed Form -- need CSS helpAsked by shoptologymark on March 24, 2015 at 03:16 PM
My form --
(fill it out a bit and you'll see the problem)
This part of my form is squashed. I know something in my css is off? help?
thank you
JotForm Support
Since there is quite a bit of extra added CSS added to your form, I am not sure which part is causing the issue. When I removed the CSS and added the theme back again, the fields were no longer compressed as they are in your copy. Here is my test form to show you it working:
If this does not look the way you would like, let us know and we will be happy to see what else we can do.
Thanks! I think when I clicked the "designer" button, it added a lot of extra code and thwarted the actual custom code I needed.
I started over and all I have now is CSS to add fade to to each form and change my highlight color.
But one thing remains squished on mobile -- it is the "Draw" widget
any idea how to compress the drawing box with css?
JotForm Support
Unfortunately, the drawing widget is rendered using an iframe. Thus, the responsive code will not affect it. What you can do is use the full source code of your form and then use a CSS technique like the one described here to make the iframes to work in a responsive way in your site: http://www.benmarshall.me/responsive-iframes/
Other than that, I'm not sure if that particular widget can be made mobile responsive.

Hi all - I was wondering if we could discuss the following sitaution. I've searched spiceworks but am not really getting anything that hits this.
I've a number of web services which include front end web on dmz, and then backend app and database server where required. I want to make them a lot more fault tolerent. So I'm looking at running the hardware in an additional site which will be a duplicate of the current setup. I then have two options. 1, I load balance the web requests between the hardware over the two sites. This could be difficult though as we would then have two to manage the two instances of date and if one fails then we are in trouble so option 2 is to failover to the second site in the event of one going down.
It'll be good to see how those that aleady do something similar are doing this. I need to ensure theres no reliance on a particular site or ISP, so I'm looking at failover/loadbalancing at a network level. I'm also considering what can be done at a DNS level i.e. a round robin aproach.
thoughts please to kick this subject off.

that's an idea to loadbalance:

web1 web2

Practical view:

Web1 SQL web2
The SQL server should be separeted from the webservers, and only webservers shall talk to the SQL. Either use of PHP+MySQL (linux) or ASP+MsSQL (M$), doesn't matter.
So all synamic data is stored on the SQL, then data will be like on them both webservers.
EDIT: damned javascript is stripping whitespaces, but hope you see the picture of what i ment!
Oct 23, 2008 at 10:03 UTC
Thanks for your reply, I understand what you're getting at.
its the DMZ cloud or alternatives that I'd like to zoom in on and how this would be provided between two separate sites. Traffic needs to be routed to one ISP but in the event of that route failing then I need to reroute to a different site. Some good practise or example would be interesting to see.
Oct 24, 2008 at 6:49 UTC
did anyone have any further ideas on the best way of achiving the above?
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.

This idea got quite a few votes, so I decided to start it! I changed it a little from the original, because I thought this would work better. I still don't exactly own the idea though.
So now, the story you've all been waiting for (I hope)… Enjoy! ^.^
Ladies Vs CDC
Chapter 1 – Meeting With Miss Munroe
The strong aroma of coffee overwhelms me as I walk into Starbucks. I flop down into one of the couches at a small table, waiting. It's been a long walk! Just a few minutes ago, I got a call from my best friend, Tawni, asking me to meet her here. To this moment, I don't know why I agreed; I'm not usually one to just agree to something so quickly. I'm more of a planner – but right now, I'm just curious!
"Hey, Sonny!" I hear Tawni's voice call out. I smile as she walks over to me, followed by two other girls I don't recognise. Well, she is a famous supermodel, so these girls are probably her new assistants or some part of her uncountable entourage – I'm used to people like that hovering around whenever I meet up with her. The three of them sit down around the table, staring at me.
"Hi!" I say cheerfully, in an attempt to break the silence.
Tawni grins, and begins to speak. "Sonny, I'd like you to meet my new friends. This is Penelope." She gestures to at the girl on her right, who has long brown hair, and an angry glare on her face, along with a lot of make-up. She's dressed in denim shorts and a tank top, with massive heels.
"Hello," Penelope says simply.
"Hey; nice to meet you!" I smile, being my usual happy self. I hold out my hand, but she just stares at it, so I give up. Meany.
"And this is Chastity," Tawni says, looking over at the girl on her left. She has lighter brown hair, and looks like a simple person. She's wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and ballet pumps. I say hi to her, and she says hi back. She seems much nicer than Penelope. "So, you're probably wondering why I called you here, aren't you?" Tawni asks me.
"Yeah…" I nod. I really don't know, and I want to find out!
"Well, we need your help," she replies. She has that evil look on her face – I wonder what help she wants from me!
"With what?" I ask, curious.
"We want you to cheat the cheater. Play the player. Crush the crusher," Tawni says, still smiling evilly.
"What?" I ask, confused.
"We need you to be a target. Basically, the three of us know this guy. He's dated and dumped us all in the past, and now, we want revenge!" she replies, obviously proud of her plan. Interesting…
"They talked me into it…" Chastity murmurs, looking down at the table.
"Shut up! No wonder he managed to fool you so easily. You're so naïve," Penelope sneers at her. I feel sorry for the poor girl – Penelope seems really mean. But really, Chastity does seem even more innocent than me! And I've been told I'm very innocent.
"So, what exactly do you want me to do?" I ask curiously.
"We want you to be his next target," Tawni replies.
"Oh. But, why me?" I ask. I'm not lazy or anything. It's just that, Tawni's a supermodel! She has a lot of devious friends who can probably pull off this plan much more easily than I can, so why is she asking me to help? Besides the fact that she knows I go out of my way to be helpful, I'm still not too sure.
"Because you're Sonny! And how many guys have asked you out in the past month?" she argues. A lot of guys do ask me out… I don't know why – there's nothing that great about me. I'm a boring, average girl: average looks, average style; just, simply, average. What do they see in me anyway? I don't understand how guys' minds work.
"I… I lost count," I say sheepishly, and Penelope starts glaring at me again. If looks could kill, I'd probably drop dead right now.
"Exactly! People just love you! So, please, can you help us get revenge on him?" Tawni asks, pleading.
"I don't know… How long will this take?" I ask.
"We don't know. We don't even know where the hell he is, now. He dumped me last week, and then ran off," Penelope explains quickly.
"I'm not usually the kind of person who expects something in return for her help, but what's in it for me? I mean, if you guys need to find him and don't know how long this'll take, I'll have to take time off work and stuff…" I say unsurely. I hate taking time off work – even though I only work in a small clothing store (and somehow manage to become employee of the month, every month), I do love my job.
"We'll pay you double, to compensate for your time off work," Tawni says. It obviously wouldn't be a problem for her, since she's rich. And they just aren't going to give me a chance to refuse, are they?
"Just out of curiosity, who was this guy?" I ask. I might even know him; I do know a lot of people, you see.
"His name was Chad Dylan Cooper. And he was the worst boyfriend ever," Tawni replies, angrily. The name is unfamiliar, which is probably good for me.
"We've all had our separate encounters with him, and they've all ended in disaster. And that's why we need your help to crush him like he crushed us," Penelope adds, also sounding angry.
"He made me think he loved me, but then he broke my heart…" Chastity says. She, however, sounds upset rather than angry. I'd actually forgotten she was even here, seeing as she was so quiet.
"Honey, he did that to the rest of us too," Penelope says, glaring at her.
"What did he actually do, though?" I ask, still curious. If I'm going to help them, I need to know all the background information beforehand!
"Chastity, since he met you first, you should tell your story first," Tawni says.
"Okay…" Chastity stutters, and we all listen carefully as she starts her story.
So, what did y'all think? Let me know in a review! Personally, I feel I could've done better, but I just want to see some opinions for now. :)
