I have a date with a guy next Wednesday. We're both tops! I didn't want to say I was a top because I fancy him so much. What should I do?
-Closet Top
That's a huge problem. A date with a guy? How fucked up is that! Especially on a Wednesday. At least if it were a Friday night you could plead your case that you got swept up in weekend homosexuality, a phenomenon which victimizes many. But a Wednesday? That sounds intentionally gay.
But apparently gay conversion therapy is kind of looked down upon lately (by homo-homophobes), so I can't really suggest that. Darn anti-antigay activists, ruining everything. So you're stuck going out with this guy. But seriously, yuck.
So at this point, you know he's a top because either it was in his personal ad or he told you directly or one of his previous victim-bottoms told you (probably bragging about it). Clearly, it's great that you're starting off your sure to be long term relationship with a lie by omission. Luckily, lies provide the cornerstone of most successful gay relationships. Like that dead dyke poet Emily Dickinson was a total fucking liar. As was modern-day dyke poet Anderson Cooper (pre-coming out).
So I'll give you a line that will melt steel: "I've never bottomed before because I've never met anyone I wanted to bottom for. Until you." Of course, if that sentiment were true, you wouldn't have a problem, but at this point, it remains a total lie. But if this connection is going to go anywhere, you're going to have to turn that lie upside down. And turn your frown into the truth. I know that makes perfect sense to you.
Start practicing your moans. It's amazing how sonically close a painful moan and a pleasure moan are. And having a tight hole is a plus. So don't practice fucking yourself at all. And don't tell him to go slow. Just think about how lonely you'll be without him and let that fear of sorrow be your lube.
If at some point you discover it actually feels good to be fucked, don't tell him like that's some revelation because then he'll wonder why you ever wanted to get fucked if you'd hated it to that point. Anecdotal evidence says it can take anywhere from 1 to 1,100 fucks for it to start feeling good. And if it never feels good for you, at least make it feel good for him. You may not have the physical prowess to be the most amazing bottom, but you can at least put your needs last. Most guys super appreciate that.

Cuju mastermind, Badr Benjelloun is at it again with his new restaurant Caravan. Situated in the old digs of Casa Brasil, across from the Brazilian embassy, he will be serving up a wicked rotating menu of Moroccan-inspired eats for dinner (RMB 150 for a three course meal) and a set business lunch during the day.
User reviews of Caravan

The only real couscous in Beijing
Thank god for Caravan.
Beijing was sorely lacking a real couscous place until they came around! I wish they did it more often than once a week as it is hard for most of us to make it to their location for Friday lunch but if it is the only option we have, then we're more than happy to do it when possible! At 80 kuai all you can eat, it's a big deal.
The tagines, kebabs, olives and other dishes are all pretty good but the couscous is amazing!

amazing service and value
In a city where service seems to take a backseat whenever possible, it's refreshing to have a place like this where we can have some unique food and amazing service. I have a few vegetarian friends who appreciate their ever changin selection of veggie/vegan dishes but last week, they took it to another lever.
An friend turned up unannouced to our birthday dinner party which Badr had agreed to cater way ahead of time. This person has an onion allergy which is just unsual and as far as i understand, most of the dishes at caravan have onions. Without missing a beat, Badr went into the kitchen and whipped out an onion free 3 course meal for our friend. He didn't have to as the meal had been booked ahead of time and he already dealt with various nut and glutten intolerances. I wish more places could provide that level of service, really.
Thanks to Badr and the caravan team for helping save the night.

The only true North African restaurant in Beijing
I'm amazed that with a city the size of Beijing, there aren't many more Moroccan or Maghreb restaurants town. Maybe they're not needed judging by the quality of the food that caravan offers. Cuju, by the same owner, offers Moroccan food as well but that's more snacks and easy stuff. Highly recommended for lamb, lemon chicken tagine, barba and the burger. I haven't had bad food there yet. My only complaint is that it tends to get hot inside sometimes, which is what happened this past saturday.

Without sounding too much like a fanboy, I love what Badr does with his places. I'm not sure i would consider Caravan a restaurant as much as a bar because i tend to go there for well mixed drinks at affordable prices and for the non-smoking policy. It's pretty much the only place in town i know off where we can enjoy some live music without feeling like chocking. The all day happy hour is another winner that i'm looking forward to taking advantage off soon. As far as the food goes, skip the burger and go for the lamb or the lemon chicken tagine. Ace.

A hardened group of survivors fight back against a zombie plague that has brought down civilization. With the world consumed by a devastating plague that drives humans violently insane, what was once a band of desperate survivors bobbing on a dark Atlantic ocean has now become Wolf Squadron, the only hope for the salvation of the human race. Banding together with what remains of the U.S. Navy, Wolf Squadron, and its leader Steve Smith, not only plans to survive - he plans to retake the mainland from the infected, starting with North America. Smith's teenage daughters have become zombie hunters of unparalleled skill, both at land and on the sea, and they may hold the key to the rebirth of civilization on a devastated planet.

"Just getting better :)"
I am just gripped by these books, normally series do have stuttering books but ok only book 4 but so far each one gets better than the last. Can not wait until number 5!
"Really enjoyed this series"
Author avoided turning it into a people v people book.. Avoided the rotting corpse walking scenario (which biologicaly would not work) had a plausible sounding start to the "plague" (not that I'm a biologist).. Avoided the stupid people doing stupid things scenario's..
"not as good as the other books"
I loved the other books in this series but this was a let down. To full of acronyms and abbreviations and not enough story about the characters and situations. lots of information that didn't add to the overall story and just not enough plot.
Say something about yourself!
"john does it again"
Another awsome saga with wolf squadron. faith is the biggest baddass in the world and rocks
I 'm a scifi/fantasy fan, have been since I was 8, and I love audiobooks for walking the dog, traveling in the car and doing the housework.
"Slightly less coherent than books 1-3"
There is more of a gearshift from book 3 than there was from book 2 to 3, and it seemed slightly discordant once or twice. "Wilkes" previously a very somber character with a fairly stern parental tone in all conversations, suddenly in this book is jocular and, having been reduced from secondary character to background, is acting like a random 30-something. I'm not sure if it's the lines as written or the delivery, but it was jarring in spots. Even so, I enjoyed the book and look forward to any sequel that may come.
"Good ending to the series."
I wish they would of added more on spots they skipped and less on operations. I was hoping for how they would Intergrate with another large force and what you would you do with people that didn't want the new world to go back.
"A good place end"
I'm hoping John Ringo ends here. While the book is not bad for what it is. Parts of it at time felt contrived. It really seemed as if the author was trying to force the story to a conclusion. As a fan of many John Ringo books that may not have been a bad thing.
"Sierra Hotel!"
Fun, cool, interesting, action-packed, and unique take on zombie apocalypse. I'm a big fan of John Ringo's books. He writes in a very comfortable style.. he's a good writer.. but he also knows how to throw in great humor mixed with technical detail and hardcore military concepts. Mix Neal Stephenson, Steve Martin, Tom Clancy, and Richard Marcinco... while drinking Scotch and listening to Crux Shadows. He's at the top of my novel watch list.
"Great ZA story."
My greatest dream realized in fiction.
I hope there are many more books in this series. This story has to be far from over.
"Great end to the series, but is it just me or...."
Did it feel rushed? This series had characters that I really liked and maybe Ringo felt he didn't want to write this series anymore... I personally liked it and felt that book one and two were great. I would say grab this and enjoy it for what it is, an ending.
"Great story."
I enjoyed this story. The only negative is the occasional times the narrator mispronounced words or terms, and the only reason that was an issue is that the narration was so well done otherwise that they stood out.
"great book, love the characters and story. Need t"
Love the book and the characters, it a fun ride and great series ending perfect.
"Gun nuts and zombies"
This is the best zombie apocalypse series I have read. The Smith family is pretty unreal but it gives you a tie to all that is going on.
"May John Ringo keep the story going."
Tristan Morris does a good job throughout the series. He's not a very convincing 14 year old girl, but he does their Da justice. Please, make another installment and have Tristan Morris read it.
To those interested in this book. This is the 4th book. It is written so that you can start with it, but it's better to start with Under a Graveyard Sky. Yes, it is a zombie apocalypse story. It is a unique, to me, approach to a ZA. There are a few mistakes with military terminology, but not many. I am a Coastie vet and from my point of view there aren't enough mistakes to pass on this series.
Very good story. Wish the reader had English as his first language or knew anything about the military.

Nestlé, Jamba Suspend Jamba Juices
Ready-to-drink beverages plagued by out-of-stock issues.
GLENDALE, Calif. -- Nestle USA is suspending shipments of Jamba Ready-To-Drink Smoothies and Juices, which have been plagued by out of stocks, according to a joint statement.
"We have made the difficult decision to suspend production and shipments of our Jamba Ready-to-Drink Smoothies and Juices," Rob Case, president of Nestlé USA Beverage Division, said in a statement. "We have faced challenges recently with manufacturing on a consistent basis, resulting in inventory and out-of-stock issues. This is particularly disappointing given the strong reception we have received from consumers and customers alike. We at Nestlé are fully committed to reassessing our Jamba ready-to-drink beverage proposition so that we can come back stronger and positioned for success in the future."
Since the launch of RTD line six months ago, Jamba carved out a firm foothold in the super-premium juice category, according to the report. "Customer sell-in and feedback exceeded expectations, and the six SKUs all rank among the top in the category for consumption," James White, president and CEO of Jamba Inc., based in Emeryville, Calif., said in a statement. "While this is an unfortunate event, this suspension will provide the opportunity to evaluate new manufacturing solutions, which could enable the Jamba brand to secure an even stronger position in ready-to-drink beverages."
Jamba Smoothies and Jamba Juicies have been available in grocery and convenience stores in California, Oregon, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Washington and Colorado.
Nestle USA and Jamba Juice announced their worldwide licensing agreement to produce and distribute a line of healthy ready-to-drink beverages under the Jamba brand name in December 2007.

We chose to stay at this Best Western after seeing the distance it was from Mohegan Sun Casino as we were going for a concert and didn't want to make the drive home in the expected snowstorm. The rate for our stay was very affordable compared to many other hotels that are a little closer and offer shuttle service to the casinos.
We were pleasantly surprised upon our arrival to find that the hotel indeed had a shuttle service to Mohegan Sun, which we were not aware of when we booked our reservation. The front desk staff was very busy when we arrived and although on the phone greeted us with a big smile and welcome to Best Western, and a polite I'll be with you in a minute. Once checked in we were very pleased with our room (2 double beds) including microwave, coffemaker, and refrigerator. The room looked clean and smelled clean, the tv worked perfectly (it is not a flatscreen, but it didn't matter the picture came in well). We put the heat on and in no time the room was toasty warm.
We decided to try the restaurant for dinner - Flanigans (not sure of the exact spelling) and it was fabulous, my daughter is both gluten-free and vegan and they accommodated her needs for a meal and because there was no meat involved with the alternate dish they even reduced her meal price. I thoroughly enjoyed my steak and fixins. It was a perfect stop and well worth the cost before our trip to the casino.
Since the weather had deteriorated the shuttle service had been suspended as they were not going to jeopardize their drivers -- something I totally understood and applauded since even the taxi service had notified them they would be suspending service and so there would have been no way for folks to get back to the hotel.
The next morning I had the breakfast that was included with the room fee and was delighted. Scrambled eggs including both bacon and sausage, homefries, different breads to toast, I think bagels and danish also (not sure as I am gluten free and really didn't pay full attention), french toast, apple and orange juice, coffee and tea -- all you could want for a hearty hot breakfast!
This was a wonderful experience for us. We took the opportunity to take a walk through the facility before we left the next day to view the indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna's and exercise room and they even had Men and Women bathrooms with showers, which I thought was a terrific plus. I wish we had the time to stay a little longer to utilize the facility more.
We would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area that is looking for a reasonable, clean, friendly place to stay. I don't think you will be disappointed I know we were not!

Every handyman already knows impact wrenches are one of the best tools out there. Simple fixes, like refitting car wheels, can be greatly sped up by using impact wrenches. They're also extremely helpful when it comes to getting at hard to reach places. Cordless versions allow for greater mobility and you don't have to worry about getting tripped up or tangled in a pesky wire. There are so many wrenches on the market is hard to know where, to start, don't worry though as I've done the hard work for you.
So what is the best cordless impact wrench? Below you'll find the best cordless impact wrench for your needs, so get reading.
DEWALT DC820B ½-in
Top Features
Anti-slip Grip: The DC820B's anti-slip grip allows you to keep a hold of the wrench on even the toughest projects. It is also incredibly comfortable, which is nice when you work with your hands a lot.
High Performance: This DEWALT impact wrench has 1,740 inch-pounds of torque and 2,400 RPM. This makes fastening a breeze.
Compact: It is not a big and clunky wrench like some others I have tried. It weighs a measly 2.2 pounds and is less than 6 inches long. This makes it extremely easy to fit in tight spaces and does not wear out your wrists.
- Durable
- The brushes are replaceable, so if one craps out you don't have to buy a whole new wrench, it is easily replaced.
- It also has a metal transmission that maximizes this wrenches lifetime.
- The battery is not included when you buy it. Although this is not expensive and it is only a one time purchase since they are rechargeable.

Ingersoll-Rand 231C ½-in Super-Duty Air Impact
Top Features
Easy Operation: The 231C features a patented one-hand forward/reverse feature, making it super easy to operate.
Pressure-Feed Lubrication: The pressure-feed lubrication ensures the wrench is always working at peak performance and makes it even easier to control.
Contoured Handle: The contoured handle, along with its compact design, minimizes stress on the wrist and hand and maximizes comfort, making this wrench great for all day use.
- Comes fully lubricated and ready to use, which just gave me one less thing to worry about.
- It's a little heavier than some of the other ones. But at just 5 pounds it is still incredibly lightweight.

PORTER-CABLE PCE210 ½-in
Top Features
Cast Metal Gear Housing: The unique cast metal gear housing dissipates heat that is created. This improves the durability and ultimately gives the wrench a longer lifespan.
Reversible: A must-have for a great wrench, the PCE210 can work both forwards and backward, making it great for tightening and loosening.
Comfortable: The PCE210 has a really comfortable handle, which makes it easy to hold and use for as many jobs as you need.
- Offers 240-foot pounds of torque and 2,200 RPM.
- Does not need batteries since it has an AC power source.

Find the cheapest price for this drill now
AIRCAT 1150 Killer Torque ½-in
Top Features
Quiet: One of the quietest impact wrenches on the market, the AIRCAT 1150 produces only 85 decibels. 85 decibels is about the noise level of city traffic when sitting inside a car. At such a low level, it takes hours and hours of continued exposure to experience any kind of pain or damage.
Large Rotor: This wrench has a 15% larger rotor than other models, providing top performance all day long.
High Performance: The AIRCAT 1150 provides a whopping unmatched 1,295 feet pounds of torque and 1,400 blows per minute. This is definitely one of the best performing wrenches I tried.
Advantages of this wrench include its:
- Ergonomic design
- 2-year parts and labor warranty that is included. The warranty gives you peace of mind and really makes this purchase risk-free
- You have to make sure to keep this wrench lubed to keep it performing perfectly. This is pretty typical of wrenches however and is not a huge inconvenience.
Find the cheapest price for this drill now
DEWALT DCF899B 20V MAX XR ½-in
Top Features
LED Light: The LED Light on this wrench allows you to work in dimly lit areas with ease. It is very bright, and I've found, very helpful to make sure you're working where you want. The light also means you have to carry one less tool with you on a job, a flashlight.
3-Speeds: The DCF899B's 3-speeds allows a wide range of options and allows you to choose the perfect setting for whatever job you're working on.
Battery Fuel Gauge: This incredibly helpful tool lets you keep an eye on how much battery you have left so you know when you need to recharge it before it completely dies. There's nothing worse than starting work on a job and having your wrench die.
- Brushless motor allows for superior performance
- Incredible 700 feet pounds of torque
- Ergonomic design
- Anvil is resistant to shearing and breaking and can survive a 6-8 foot drop
- Battery sold separately

Femilift vs Thermiva?
Doctor Answers 12
Nonsurgical vs Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation
It can increase blood flow, sensitivity, and orgasm. It can increase moisture and decrease urinary incontinence for many women.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma ) can be added to these procedures which may make a difference in the outcome. It can be injected into the vaginal mucosa to increase circulation and vaginal health, O-shot. PRP can also be used for a "G" Shot which is injected into the G-spot.
Such non-surgical laser vaginal rejuvenation require approximately 3 sessions. Once or twice yearly follow up treatments are recommended to maintain vaginal health. Also, if PRP is being added there is an additional fee per treatment session.
However, surgery is the most common treatment. It can usually corrected your concern in less than one hour with the use of a local anaesthetic. Often, many women feel more comfortable and relaxed with a quick twilight or general anaesthetic. Each procedure is customized to the physical findings as well as the desired goals of the patient. There is no one right solution for all patients, but there is a solution for every woman. The outcome of a Labiaplasty is a more youthful appearance, ability to wear all types of clothing without discomfort and/or embarrassment, and a more confident sex life.
The best procedure approach will be discussed in greater detail during your one-on-one consultation.

Thermiva wins the overall vaginal rejuvenation battle
1)no down time
2)tightens vagina internally and externally
3)generally less expensive than femilift
4)proven sidebar benefits of increasing sexual and orgasmic satisfaction, increasing clitoral and vaginal sensitivity
5)no chance of burning the delicate tissues
Why would you choose anything else for your non-invasive vaginal rejuvenation?
This isn't to say that a surgical option may be more reasonable for your individual situation, however. So choose a great doctor who you can trust for his candid recommendations.

Femilift vs Thermiva?
ThermiVA is a radio frequency based device that works through direct bulk heating. ThermiVa has been supported by claims that it increases lubrication and improves vaginal function. In that ThermiVa is not FDA approved for intra-vaginal use, and that these claims are not supported by any valid, peer reviewed studies that I can find, it is unlikely that ThermiVa will help with any vaginal issues in a lasting way.. This technology is not able to raise tissue temperatures sufficiently to promote new collagen growth (Neocollagenesis), which is necessary for any lasting results. It has been shown that Neocollagenesis occurs ONLY when the tissues are heated to 60-70C. ThermiVa absolutely does not heat tissues to 60-70C, but only achieves perhaps 45-55 degrees Celsius. By heating the vaginal lining tissues, ThermiVa causes swelling, or edema. There is no scientific basis that supports the notion of ThermiVa producing long lasting results. Furthermore, as we all learned in 2nd year medical school pathology class, chronic inflammation and edema leads to FIBROSIS (a pathologic process). Fibrosis is a disorderly process of SCAR FORMATION, as opposed to the functionally regenerative process of Neocollagenesis. Think about nasty ugly scars on the skin that occur due to injury. That is the process of scar formation. Fractional laser devices, such as Femi Lift by Alma lasers, actually have been shown through rigorous scientific study, to promote Neocollagenesis by heating the vaginal lining tissues to 60-70 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, Femi Lift also causes fractional ablation of the vaginal lining, resulting in regrowth of a thicker and more youthful vaginal lining. In my practice we have treated dozens of patients with Femi Lift and I have not seen a single treatment failure. Furthermore, most, if not all of my stress urinary incontinence patients (mild to moderate severity) have completely resolved their SUI. Lastly many have posted that ThermiVa is a "newer" technology. That is just patently untrue. Fractional CO2 laser technology was first used clinically in the early 2000's. Radio frequency has been in use since the 1980's and the external application (like ThermiVa) was how RF was first used. People, do your homework and do not trust those who are untruthful!

FemiLift, without hesitation
Thank you for your question. I've offered FemiLift, laser vaginal resurfacing, to my patients with complaints of vaginal looseness, stress urinary incontinence, and dryness for over 2 years with excellent results in the properly selected patient. In women with your symptoms we see their dryness improve after the first treatment. The benefit of the FemiLift over ThermiVa are many, but in your case the treatment is quick, less than 5 minutes, and the results are longer lasting.
See link below for patient reviews of their experience. I do recommend you consult with a reconstructive and cosmetic vaginal surgeon experienced in all treatment options for vaginal rejuvenation to see what you are a candidate for. Hopefully, you're a candidate.
Best of luck,

Dynasty owner is all about the combination of performance and contract value. Just like real owners in (most) sports, Dynasty Owner fantasy football requires owners to create their team under the guidelines of a salary cap, or else they are forced to pay luxury tax penalties. This adds an element of strategy and planning that makes Dynasty Owner the most engaging and addictive fantasy football format around.
Check out our other posts where we ranked RBs, WRs and QBs. Now we take a look at the Defenses in Dynasty Owner. First, because each player has a salary cap number, the way we calculate the defensive salary cap number is by taking the median salary of all players on the defense multiplied by 11 (the number of starters on Defense).
Pro tip: A great way to prepare for the season is to try our free mock drafts
The Defensive Salaries [Avg Age of Starters]
- Redskins DEF $10.3MM [Age 28.3]
- Giants DEF $10.1MM [Age 27.7]
- Chargers DEF $9.08MM [Age 25.9]
- Vikings DEF $8.97MM [Age 27.7]
- Saints DEF $8.75MM [Age 26.2]
- Buccaneers DEF $8.53MM [Age 25.2]
- 49ers DEF $8.21MM [Age 27.9]
- Bears DEF $8.2MM [Age 27.7]
- Cardinals DEF $8.04MM [Age 28.2]
- Lions DEF $8.03MM [Age 27.1]
- Colts DEF $7.95MM [Age 28.6]
- Raiders DEF $7.87MM [Age 27.6]
- Panthers DEF $7.86MM [Age 26.5]
- Bills DEF $7.86MM [Age 26.5]
- Dolphins DEF $7.63MM [Age 27.7]
- Falcons DEF $7.61MM [Age 27.1]
- Titans DEF $7.5MM [Age 25.9]
- Bengals DEF $7.5MM [Age 27.1]
- Jets DEF $7.49MM [Age 26.6]
- Jaguars DEF $7.35MM [Age 26.5]
- Chiefs DEF $7.35MM [Age 26.6]
- Cowboys DEF $7.32MM [Age 26.6]
- Broncos DEF $7.31MM [Age 26.8]
- Patriots DEF $7.2MM [Age 26]
- Texans DEF $7.06MM [Age 26.1]
- Eagles DEF $7MM [Age 25.9]
- Steelers DEF $6.81MM [Age 28.2]
- Packers DEF $6.6MM [Age 27.1]
- Seahawks DEF $6.52MM [Age 26.4]
- Browns DEF $6.27MM [Age 25.7]
- Ravens DEF $6.27MM [Age 27.7]
- Rams DEF $6.2MM [Age 25.2]
There isn't a great deal of variance between the highest priced Defense and the lowest. However, the same theory applies with defenses as with all other positions in Dynasty Owner - you want elite production at cap friendly prices. And you want to target defenses with young up and coming stars, like the Browns or Rams who both have an average age of 25 years old versus an aging unit like the Steelers, Cardinals, or Redskins who both boast defensive units who's players average is over 28 years old.
Top 10 Defensive Rankings: 2014
There are no Tiers when ranking defenses, as it doesn't make a lot of sense to spend draft preparation on defenses outside of the top 10. After the top 10, they are all similar in how they rank and project. At the end of the draft or free agency you simply want to focus on which defense has a strong matchup on the bye week you need them to play when your starting defense is off for the week.
1). Seattle Seahawks (Avg Age 26): $6.52MM / Year
If there were Tiers the Seahawks would be in a category of their own and the only Tier 1 team because they are that far ahead of the next defense. They once again project to be the highest scoring defense this year and they have a relatively young starting unit with the 4th cheapest overall cap number. And the way they reload in the draft each year, it stands to reason that the Seahawks should be elite in Dynasty Owner for many years to come. In 2013, this dominating D allowed the fewest total yards (4,378), fewest passing yards (2,752), fewest yards per play (4.4), lowest red zone efficiency (36 percent) and lowest QBR in the NFL (29). Just don't always expect them to have such a cap friendly team salary as these budding stars will get paid sooner than later.
2). San Francisco 49ers (Avg Age 27.9): $8.21MM / Year
From a scoring projection perspective, the 49ers defense is on par with the Seahawks but are older and more expensive. The Niners' defense revolves around perhaps the game's two best inside linebackers: Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman. While there are questions, like Bowman coming off a major knee injury, a downgrade at safety as Antoine Bethea replaces Donte Whitner and a possible Aldon Smith suspension looming, however the defense should finish top 5 again in scoring.
3). Carolina Panthers (Avg Age 26.5): $7.86MM / Year
The Panthers have arguably the most dominant front 7 in football, which helps mask some of the concerns they have in the secondary. If not for Hardy's looming potential suspension, they might be propelled in the number 2 slot for the 2014 campaign.
4). Cleveland Browns (Avg Age 25.7): $6.27MM / Year
Here is where Dynasty Owner differs from most other fantasy football formats as the Cleveland Defense is probably slotted in the 10-15 range on most other sites. By all pre-season accounts, the Browns are on the cusp of being an elite defensive unit. And with Dynasty Owner, there is great appeal in the Browns being one of the youngest units in the league as well as one of the cheapest with a dearth of young talent. They added a possible number 1 CB this year in the draft in DB Justin Gilbert to compliment already elite DB Joe Haden, and last years top draft pick Barkevious Mingo is drawing rave reviews in camp from local and national pundits.
5). St. Louis Rams (Avg Age 25.2): $6.2MM / Year
The youngest and the cheapest defense in the league, which is music to Dynasty Owners ears. And it's not all about promise, the Rams D showed a lot to get excited about last year ranking 3rd in the league in Sacks (53). And now that blitz-happy DC Gregg Williams is taking over, you can bet DE Robert Quinn, DE Chris Long and new signee DT Alex Carrington will see even more sack opportunities this season. The question marks in the secondary are the only reason the Rams don't rank above the Browns and possibly the Panthers in 2014 drafts.
6). New England Patriots (Avg Age 26): $7.2MM / Year
The Patriots are surprisingly young on Defense, having made that a focus in the early rounds of their drafts for the last several years. And swapping out Talib with Revis and adding Browner should do wonders for a secondary that struggled at times last year.
7). Denver Broncos (Avg Age 26.8): $7.31MM / Year
The Broncos made major moves on Defense after getting cooked by Seattle in the Super Bowl: They paid $60 million guaranteed to DeMarcus Ware, T.J. Ward and Aqib Talib over the winter and drafted Bradley Roby. Meanwhile, Champ Bailey, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Shaun Phillips and Robert Ayers are gone. That is a lot of turnover on a defense that was effective save for one game last year.
8). Arizona Cardinals (Avg Age 28.2): $8MM / Year
What the Cardinals lack in elite pass rushers, they make up for with a bevy of born-ready run stuffers, starting with DE Darnell Dockett, DT Dan Williams and LB Matt Shaughnessy. And it showed last season: Zona was tops in rushing yards allowed per game (84.4). Calais Campbell, who's coming off a career-high nine sacks, and John Abraham will again shoulder most of the pass-rushing duties. Arizona certainly has questions on the back end, where Tyrann Mathieu is recovering from a torn ACL, and free agent signee Antonio Cromartie hopes to rebound from a lackluster 2013. But with shutdown corner Patrick Peterson still around, defense should once again rank in the top 10 in scoring and yardage allowed in both the run and pass.
9). Houston Texans (Avg Age 26): $7.06MM / Year
When you add No. 1 overall pass rushing phenom Jadeveon Clowney with J.J. Watt (31 sacks the past two seasons) the best defensive player in the NFL right now, you are likely going to have the league leading defense in Sacks for the next several years. But that doesn't always mean overall dominance, as the Texans have been prone to giving up big rushing and passing days to opponents. And even more concerning is that they were last in the league in Turnovers forced in 2013. Still, the young talent and overall age and cost of the roster coupled with the upside has Houston cracking our top 10 in Dynasty Owner.
10). Kansas City Chiefs (Avg Age 26.6): $7.3MM/ Year
For a stretch of the season last year, KC was the unquestioned number 1 defense in the league. They were very much a feast or famine type unit, but overall turned in a very solid season total. Linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston are the cornerstones and when they got banged up late in the season, that's when the defense started to slip. Like many of the top defenses in the league, the strength of this unit is the front 7 and question marks remain in the secondary aside from S Eric Berry.
Player Contract News Around the NFL
Bengals QB Andy Dalton just got a big raise in Cincinnati, signing a 6-year contract extension that effectively amounts to a $16MM per year salary. This was a head scratcher around league circles, as Dalton has done nothing to show he's anything more than being a decent regular season QB who has struggled mightily in playoff games. In Dynasty Owner, this firmly plants Dalton in the overpaying category as there is no way his play will justify an average yearly salary amongst the likes of Tom Brady, Matthew Stafford or Eli Manning. Stay away on draft day.
On the flip side, the No. 1 Dynasty Owner Ranked RB Jamal Charles also got a new contract that will pay him $9MM for the next 3 years. He was slated to make half that this year before his new contract ($4.5MM) which would have been a steal. This could bump him down to the luxary RB class with the likes of Adrien Peterson and LeSean McCoy but we wouldn't begrudge anyone who wanted to draft any of the 3 elite RBs high, especially if your strategy calls for spending big at the RB position and saving at QB or WR.

#AtoZChallenge: S is for Superhero CarsWritten by Dawn Ius

- 1 comment
There's still five and a half months before my YA novel OVERDRIVE drops—but I couldn't pass up the chance to spend a month talking about it.
Fast cars, cute guys, a kick-ass protagonist, and the hot Vegas sun—OVERDRIVE is a culmination of all my favorite things. Which is why for this year's blogging challenge, I am doing the A to Z of OVERDRIVE. (I know, you're shocked!)
Not familiar with the A to Z Blogging Challenge? Get the full details here. And then buckle up because you're in for one hell of a fun ride.
P.S. Comment on or share the posts throughout the month for a chance to WIN an advanced reader copy of OVERDRIVE!
~ ~ ~
I intended to make this post about amazing vehicles driven by superheroes, but either my Google skills are lacking, my memory is fading, or only Batman got a cool ride. Seriously guys, what am I missing?
Not that I'd turn down a chance to take a spin around the block in the Batmobile. I mean, look at this thing...
This particular model was built by George Barris (shown here), known as the King of the Kustomizers. His creations are legendary in the world of television and motion pictures, and his personal collection includes everything from the General Lee (gah!) to Torino Green Hornet and Monkee Mobile. Unfortunately, Barris passed November, 2015—but his legendary cars live on. The guy was a genius.
In OVERDRIVE, Barris is Nick Barker's idol, and this particular car makes a guest appearance during one of the boosts.
My friend Matt affectionately calls my old RX-8 the "Batmobile" (even though I repeatedly tell him her name is "Anne"), and I admit, the two vehicles have similar lines. But somehow, I don't think "Anne" is nearly as collectible. Damn.
I know, a bit of a cop-out "S" post. My intentions were good though—I just couldn't find what I was looking for. Do YOU know of any Superhero vehicles?
Back tomorrow with a cool "T" post—for realz.

I would include Guédelon rather than riding through vineyards.
Report Abuse
To your list I would add the following:'
the ancient abbey of Fontenay;
the basilica in Vézelay, a beautiful building with considerable history. It's one of the starting points for the pilgrammage to Santiago de Compostela;
the Renaissance château of Tanlay;
the magnificent Gothic cathedral in Autun, along with the still-in-use-Roman theater on the outskirts of the town.
I think you could skip Chablis.

I wouldn't waste time riding a bike on those narrow hilly roads with improbable weather at this time of year. Vineyards are just rows of grape vines. Rent a car if you want to get out in Burgundy.
The best sights in Burgundy are the auberges with the most magnificent food and wine you'll find anywhere. Also visit the wine stores with degustation signs hanging above the door. There are a number of these in Beaune. Try the passetoutgrains, my favorite. It is a blend of pinot noir and gamay grapes.

While Guédelon is fantastic it is a big detour and will take time away from other sites. On your drive to Beaune from Paris I would try to stick to things that aren't too far off the autoroute to maximize your limited sightseeing time. All the places you and others mentioned are lovely and worth a visit but since you've only got two days (if you devote day 3 to Dijon) then you should focus on things that are near one another. I don't know if you'll have a car the night before you head to Beaune but if so I would suggest leaving Paris before 7AM. Get your breakfast at a rest stop on the autoroute and maybe some picnic lunch supplies. Certainly not high cuisine but if you are not in a larger town around lunch time (noon to 2PM) then your lunch options will be limited.
I'll suggest that you start in Noyers-sur-Serein and from there take the D11 most of the way to Epoisses (small town with a nice château) and then head on to Semur. You might have time on this day to wander on small country roads at random and just enjoy the countryside and small, anonymous villages that never merit a mention in guidebooks. I've spent time wandering in this area and here's a link to a trip report (with lots of photos) about driving in this area and visiting the places I mentioned plus other villages:
As much as I love biking in the French countryside I agree with spaarne that your time on day 2 would be better spent using the car to see the countryside. Any of the other places mentioned that are in reasonable proximity to Beaune would be good visits for day 2 but it will require some driving. Châteauneuf-en-Auxois and the château of Commarin aren't too far from Beaune. I would also suggest getting picnic lunch supplies before heading off to maximize sightseeing time and save your restaurant meals for dinner.
If you want to drive through/past vineyards then on your way to Dijon from Beaune on day 3 head north to the town of Nuits-Saint-Georges and then from there pick up the small country road D122, starting in Vougeot, and follow that to Dijon and you'll see vineyards to the west and pass through some nice small towns/villages on the way.
Report Abuse
And don't forget that you need the Michelin map of the scale 1:200,000. The map number for Burgundy (Bourgogne) is 519.
Report Abuse
We were based in Beaune and never made it to Noyers or Epoisses, but did cover some of the same area suggested by FrenchMystiqueTours. His report on this area was very helpful to me in deciding where to try to go during our stay.
Here's what we did one day:
Drove from Beaune to Semur-en-Auxois on the D970 road.
After lunch there, took the D954 over to Alise-Ste-Reine/Alésia to see the site where Julius Caesar defeated the Gauls. There's a statue of Vercingetorix there, but not much else. Great view from the hilltop. A museum is supposed to open there in 2012.
From there followed a sign and took a little road to Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, a picturesque little hilltop town where the movie Chocolat was filmed.
Got back to D905 and followed it to near Sombernon where we headed south on D977b through Commarin and Les Bordes where we took a little road up to Châteauneuf. The views from up there are spectacular.
Went back down the little road, turned left and got back on D977b. In a few kilometers the road crosses the Burgundy Canal where we stopped to watch one of the large hotel barges going through a lock.
In another few km, just after passing under the A6 autoroute, we were back to the D970 and headed back to Beaune.
All the roads were in very good condition and well signposted. The 1:200.000 Michelin map was good to have. We do not have a GPS. Also encountered very little traffic.

Flummoxed - Early Period
Back to: Family History for the Flummoxed : Flummoxed - Extending Family Lines
Note: This page is part of the Flummoxed series and made to help those who haven't found family history information in the usual places. More information about searching the usual places is on the Flummoxed - Extending Family Lines page.
You've come here because you're not finding family records from the early period.
Most Common Reason
The most common reason for this is that the records from the early period simply don't exist. Surviving records from these times relate primarily to royalty, nobility, the educated, and those who owned land or property. Religious records for common people are sparse.
Research in the early period is extremely difficult. It is especially not easy for a beginner because of the knowledge and skills required to work with the ancient records. You are close approaching the Medieval period which is really best left to the experts.
Consider Switching to Descendancy Research
If your ancestors are commoners coming from the Western world (the Americas, Europe, and Western Asia), then continuing may be very difficult and progress very limited. If you have enjoyed doing family history research, you may find just as much satisfaction by switching to descendancy research. Instead of working backward in time from that last ancestor, try instead to find all of his living descendants--your cousins. If you are L.D.S. and have questions about descendancy research, click here
Consider Hiring a Professional Researcher
If you don't have the ability to personally do the research but feel compelled to go on, then consider hiring a professional researcher.
Continue Searching for Religious Records
FamilySearch has a high percentage of religious records from the early period, but there are still some not in the FamilySearch collections. The earliest religious records are usually in central archives and no longer available through local parishes and synagogues. Early religious records are well researched and cataloged. You may find books of record inventories that specify the archives holding the records in the Family History Library's On-line Catalog. If you need information from a foreign country, search this FamilySearch Wiki for "Letter Writing Guide" along with the name of the country in which you are searching.
Use Alternate Sources
Other sources also have information about the early period:
- You might try to find histories, genealogies, and collections available only through local libraries, societies, and archives.
- You might find early land records and early citizenship records of European cities. There is much in European archives that FamilySearch doesn't yet have.

The flamboyant director is adamant that the San Siro side can beat any Italian rival, but added that the Spanish giants are on another level
The 68-year-old believes the Serie A giants have what it takes to take on any other Italian team, but fears the big guns from Spain are out of their reach at this point.
"Milan can compete with any Italian team in my opinion, but things are different in Europe. Teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid are from another planet," Galliani was quoted as saying by Corriere dello Sport.
The Milan director then went on to discuss the fitness of Alexandre Pato, and revealed that the Brazil international is set to resume match action.
"Pato? He is recovering very well. I expect him to make his comeback pretty soon."
Milan resume match action on Saturday when they take on Atalanta.

i've been painting for 2 1/2 yrs
i have more paintings than wall space
i am fully in touch with my inner animal
i bite and give spankings
i live with my most amazing best friend in the entire solar system
i share all aspects of my life with her
we happen to also be total deviants, so we share our deviant adventures with each other
we are not a poly couple, we are non-monogamous amazingest friends!
i enjoy thought provoking conversations with all who seek provocation
i hike, seek, find and know
"Today, a young man on a**d realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration – that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather." - Bill
being calm in the most chaotic of situations
focusing my mind
seeing more in people than they see in themselves
i'd say my face, or the back of my head, depending on which way i'm facing
although i could be wrong and it's my super sweet man butt
the unthinkable
you want a nice solid bruise ;)
"Another thing. This idea of "I'm offended". Well I've got news for you. I'm offended by a lot of things too. Where do I send my list? Life is offensive. You know what I mean? Just get in touch with your outer adult. And grow up. And move on. Reasonable people don't write letters because... A: They have lives and B, they understand it's just TV. C: If they see something they don't like, something they do like might be on later. I've seen many comics I've hated. I've seen many shows that have offended me. I've never written a letter. I just go about my life."

The Imp is a dummied enemy from Final Fantasy IV that can be found within the data of the game. This monster is a dark purple and red palette swap of the Gremlin and Mini Satana monster, and has an intact attack script. Based on its stats, it was probably intended to be encountered on the surface of the Red Moon.
This monster's name was changed to Dummy in the Super Nintendo release of the English Final Fantasy IV and the Easy Type version in Japan. In the Complete Collection release, the Imp was completely cut and replaced with a distorted sprite using the Wii version graphics, just like numerous other enemies that were also cut from the list.
