Report Assesses Transportation Demand Management at Fairlee/MetroWest Development
Fairfax County Office of Public
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
July 29, 2005
Report Assesses Transportation Demand Management
at Fairlee/MetroWest Development
A report by UrbanTrans Consultants assessing Transportation Demand Management, or TDM, for the Fairlee/MetroWest development, which is within the Vienna Metrorail Station area, was released today by the Fairfax County Department of Transportation. The study was to determine if the reductions in peak hour traffic as outlined in the Fairfax County Comprehensive Plan for the Fairlee/MetroWest development were achievable.
According to the report: "The research and analysis elements of the Fairlee/MetroWest TDM Development Program conclude that the trip reduction targets for the proposed project (peak-hour vehicle trip reductions of 47 percent for the residential uses and 25 percent reduction for the office uses) can be achieved through a combination of the physical design characteristics of the site, as proposed, and the full application of the TDM programs and strategies recommended in this document."
UrbanTrans Consultants further stated: "The trip reductions, however, remain aggressive targets. The development of the TDM program recommendations and the trip reduction analysis conducted for this effort considered the project as a whole, with the full level of development planned; the mix and quantity of residential, office and retail uses proposed; and the pedestrian-friendly design of the site as planned. All of the design elements of the proposed project, along with the recommended TDM strategies (programs and budget levels), must work collectively to achieve the trip reduction targets. With all elements in place, however, trip reductions should prove sustainable."
In December 2004, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved a change to the county's Comprehensive Plan for certain land units within the Vienna Metrorail Station area known as Fairlee/MetroWest. One element of the revised Comprehensive Plan language pertains to TDM, or strategies aimed at reducing traffic from the development site. TDM includes alternatives to driving alone, such as ridesharing, public transit, walking and biking, as well as the supporting strategies that encourage the use of transportation modes other than the single occupancy vehicle.
"In general," states the Comprehensive Plan, "at build out, it is expected that, for the residential portion of the development, a reduction in peak hour trips of 47 percent should be achieved through the use of transit and other means; for the office portion of the development, a peak hour reduction of 25 percent is expected to be achieved through the use of transit and other means."
It is expected that the Fairlee/MetroWest development applicants will use the information from this report to prepare a draft proffer package and TDM program for the county to review that addresses the need for transportation alternatives and trip reductions for the site.
An advisory team with representatives from the community, county government and the development applicant provided background information and feedback during the development of the report.
The full report is available at www.fairleemetrowest-tdm.com (*5 MB PDF file*). For further information regarding the report, contact Kevin Luten or Justin Schor with UrbanTrans Consultants at 202-248-1790 or Angela Rodeheaver with the Fairfax County Department of Transportation at 703-324-1100, TTY 711.
Fairfax County is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination in all county programs, services and activities and will provide reasonable accommodations upon request. To request special accommodations, call 703-324-3187, TTY 703-324-2935. Please allow five working days in advance of events in order to make the necessary arrangements

I was interested to see what everyone's idea of a perfect day was.
In my mind the perfect day is: the sun shining, a picnic blanket by a beautiful pond or river, a lovely lunch and a couple of glasses of nice wine and the person I love to share it with me.
A canoe ride would be nice too (as long as there aren't any angry ducks on the pond)!
What is your perfect day?
Some people like the rain and would love to be near a fireplace!
It doesn't matter as long as it is perfect to you.

Vacaville teacher to represent Giants at All-Star Game
OAKLAND -- Major League Baseball, Target and People magazine on Tuesday announced the 30 winners in the "Target Presents People All-Star Teachers" campaign, which celebrates remarkable current and retired teachers who make an impact on the lives of their students and communities.
All 30 winners, one representing each MLB club, will be included in All- Star Week activities and recognized during the pregame ceremony of the All-Star on Tuesday, July 15, at Target Field in Minneapolis.
Tracy Ruiz of Vacaville, Calif., was selected to represent the Giants. Fans nationwide cast their votes at AllStarTeachers.com to select 30 winners from a pool of 90 finalists.
Additionally, Eric Stonestreet, a Dodgers fan who plays a teacher on Modern Family; Matthew Morrison, a Mets fan who plays a teacher on FOX's Glee; and AJ Calloway of Extra TV, a Yankees fan whose mom is a retired principal and sister is a current principal, served alongside Yankees outfielder Carlos Beltran and Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez as "All-Star Teachers" Ambassadors to support the program.

Fantasy players fortunate enough to draft Greg Zuerlein found a goldmine.
Zuerlein is one of the best under-the-radar stories in the NFL this season. After being picked by the St. Louis Rams in the sixth round out of Division II Missouri Western in April, Greg "the Leg" quickly has established himself as one of the best long-range kickers in the league. And he's clearly the best scoring option for the offensively challenged Rams.
SN PHOTO GALLERY: Best of NFL Week 4
In Sunday's 19-13 victory over the Seahawks, Zuerlein hit four field goals, including boomers of 58 and 60 yards, which made him the first kicker in league history to hit two fields of 58 yards or longer in the same game.
Zuerlein also hit a 56-yarder outdoors last Sunday at Chicago and is 12-for-12 this season. As soon as the Rams get inside the opponents' 45-yard line, coach Jeff Fisher doesn't hesitate to call on Zuerlein.
His 60-yarder Sunday wasn't an end-of-the-half desperation shot; it came early in the third quarter and set the Rams club mark, breaking the record of 58 yards he set earlier in the game.
Zuerlein's success at the NFL level doesn't come as a complete surprise considering he made 21 consecutive field goals as a senior at Missouri Western, including nine from more than 50 yards.

Sleep should be limited to 4-6 hrs per 24 hours.
Bhikkhu Pesala wrote:I get the impression that in most centres in the West, the schedule has been relaxed. The scedule at Panidtarama is still the same as it was when the Mahāsi Sayādaw started teaching.Sleep should be limited to 4-6 hrs per 24 hours.
When the Mahāsi Sayādaw started teaching, it was 3:00 am to 11:00 pm. When I went to Mahāsi Yeiktha in 1979 it was only 4:00 am to 10:00 pm, but meditators were expected to practise throughout the entire day without a break. Meals were not schedule as "Lunch break" or "Breakfast break."
The Tathāgata Meditation Centre schedule is as follows:
Practice: Meditators must follow the meditation teacher's instruction, not their own way of practice. They should practice diligently from 5 AM to 10 PM every day. In order to be able to penetrate the reality, meditators need to be quiet, externally and internally. Therefore, they should observe noble silence and be mindful. In addition, they should avoid doing things causing distraction for oneself and others during the retreat as follows:
- Refrain from talking and making noise. If need to communicate, please contact retreat coordinator during the office hours.
- Avoid greeting each others.
Avoid working, showering during the sitting meditations and Dhamma talks.
- Carry out assigned tasks with mindfulness to keep mind from disturbance.
- Avoid physical exercises, yoga or taichi, listening to radio, music, reading books, making telephone calls.
- Look down while practicing sitting, walking, standing meditations or doing tasks.
- Minimize the use of medicine since during the retreat practice, the mind is extremely sensitive.
SamKR wrote:Thanks Goofaholix. I see. So there is no hard and fast timetables.
Do the actual meditation instructions too in these Mahasi method retreats (taught by different teachers in different locations) slightly/significantly differ from each other?

In asian mahasi centres the instructions will mostly be given at one to one or group interviews. There might be an occasional or daily dhamma talk or recorded dhamma talks but these won't contain the main instructions.
SamKR wrote:By "asian mahasi centers" I suppose you mean the centers actually in Asian countries. And I understand from your reply that in the Western countries the way of instructions is usually somewhat different from that of Asian (?)
Goofaholix wrote:
I've only been to one outside of asia, unless you count IMS, but I think most in the west will follow the normal retreat format of usually 9-10 days and a dhamma talk each night that you've been used to with Goenka, with group sitting and walking according to a schedule rather than at your own pace.

CFCA President and Co-founder Bob Hentzen is walking 8,000 miles through 12 countries in Latin America to shed light on families living in poverty.
Do you know how long 8,000 miles is?
- It's twice the length of the continental United States.
- It's roughly the diameter of the planet Earth.
- It's like walking the Boston Marathon approximately 300 times.
We're hoping to put together an infographic explaining just how long 8,000 miles is, and we're asking for your help! Do you have other comparisons or measurements to help our audience grasp how long Bob's walk really is?

Research Scope of Service
The goal of FamilySearch Research Assistance is to guide patrons to resources which will enable them to research and find their ancestors. Due to the high volume of researchers requesting help, we answer research questions on a 1 case / 1 question basis rather than providing ongoing or repeated help with family research.
For those who need extensive help reseaching their ancestors, we recommend that they visit a nearby FamilySearch center where volunteers can sit down with them and help them or to hire a professional researcher.
Photoduplication is a service provided to FamilySearch patrons who would like film copies of records or pages in books that can be found in the Family History Library, but not elsewhere. Please read the following guidelines before making a photduplication request.
See KD 101748 – "How to request a photocopy of records, books, documents"
See Wiki article "Photoduplication Services"
Restricted Records in FamilyTree
See KD 107501 – "One of my ancestors or descendants has a restricted record"
People are considered to be living unless there is death information in the record or else 110 years have passed since their birth. If you add records of living people, you might encounter this problem.

SOUTHEND Council is to remove illegal double yellow lines which mysteriously appeared in the road outside Leigh's Grand Hotel.
The lines appear to be designed to deter neighbours from parking by the entrance to local landmark and the council has promised to remove any illegal markings The Grand is being brought back to life by nightclub entrepreneur Michael Norcross, a onetime member of the cast of the TV show, the OnlyWay is Essex.
Neighbours say the lines not only prevent the hotel entrance being blocked, but are also keeping drivers out of designated spaces.
Leighton Avenue resident Yve Collins said: "Parking in the road is a nightmare anyway, but this has just exacerbated the problem.
"I'm disabled and need a taxi.
They nowhave to stop in the middle of the road and let me out, which causes a queue back on to the Broadway."
Another Leighton Avenue resident, who asked not to be named, said: "You can tell the lines are not legal.
"I even had a friend staying at the weekend. They didn't know the situation and even they said to me that they looked odd."
As well as the lines the hotel entrance is blocked by a chain, with a hand-written sign, which says "No parking. Site now open 24 hours".
A third Leighton Avenue resident said: "They are illegal.
"There is no timing plate and no notification it was going to happen.
"The lines are uneven and blotchy, it looks like they were poorly painted with gaffer tape and brushes – why should they be allowed to get away with it?"
Cheryl Hindle-Terry, the council official responsible for parking in the borough said her officers had visited the site.
Confirming the lines would be removed, she added: "These would not have been enforceable, because they are not part of an official traffic order.
"It is an offence under section 132 of the Highways Act to put down yellow lines illegally like this.
"We have explained to the developer it would need to apply for a temporary traffic order if it wanted parking restrictions in that area."
Mr Norcross declined to comment about the lines when approached by the Echo.


text: I don't think Orvlosky was bad as a backup and ultimately the starter... Polian was just too stubborn to admit it and stuck with Painter prior to the season and cut DanO. Of course what option did Polian have... he couldn't do what fans and pundits said was the obvious thing could he? He had to be the smartest man in the room and go the stubborn route.

Central track and field squads sweep titles in home opener
PELLA—The Central College men's and women's track and field squads swept both team titles and won 13 events at the Dutch Athletics Classic Saturday afternoon.
The Central men scored 228 points in the six-team field, good for a 100-point victory over William Penn, while the women racked up 188 points, 67 better than runner-up Simpson.
Jackson, Messerschmidt take two for men—Drew Jackson (sophomore, Johnston) had a dominating performance in his season opener, winning the 3,000 meters and the 1,000 meters in eight minutes, 41.75 seconds and 2:34.96 respectively. Junior Steve Messerschmidt (Neola, Tri-Center HS) was also a double winner, taking the weight throw with a mark of 52 feet, 5.5 inches before winning the shot put in 47-11.
"Drew ran a couple of great races, especially considering how early in the season it is" said Dunham. "And Steve led a good effort from all our throwers. They are going to surprise some people this year."
Jackson's teammates assisted in pulling off a sweep of the distance and middle distance events. Nick Barnes (junior, Altoona, Southeast Polk HS) was first across the line in the 600 meters (1:25.75) while Kyle Nuehring (freshman, Waukee) won the Mile (4:37.76).
Meanwhile, Matt Strey (sophomore, Pella, St. Peter (Minn.) HS) win the high jump (5-8.75) and the 4×400 relay team of Tyler Westphal (senior, Le Mars), Phil Heisterkamp (senior, Jefferson, Jefferson-Scranton HS), Barnes, and Ben Schornack (senior, Urbandale) won the final event in 3:32.69, just ahead of the all-freshman team of Spencer Hammack (Ottumwa), Austin Roberts (Bloomfield, Davis County HS), Dan Roemerman (Iowa City, City HS), and Drake Hickok (Cedar Rapids, Washington HS) in (3:32.71).
Other notable performances include a 2-3-4 finish in the 55-meter hurdles from Eric Larson (sophomore, Waverly, Waverly-Shell Rock HS), Hickok, and Roemerman in 7.99, 8.06 and 8.13 respectively. Roemerman ran the fastest qualifying time of the prelims in 7.87. Josh Fleming (senior, Caseyville, Collinsville HS) and Gunnar Johnson (sophomore, Johnston), took second (47-5.75) and third (40-2.25) in the shot put, completing the 1-2-3 sweep with Messerschmidt. Fleming also took third in the weight throw (47-3.5). Eli Horton (sophomore, Runnells, Southeast Polk HS) and Schornack collected runner-up honors in the 3,000-meters (8:44.47) and 1,000-meters respectively (2:38.67) respectively. Third-place finishes were awarded to Roberts in the 400 meters (52.17), Larson in the pole vault (12-3.5), Emery Davis (senior, Crawfordsville, Winfield-Mt. Union HS) in the triple jump (39-9.25) and Connor Freeman (sophomore, Urbandale) in the heptathlon (3,944).
"This was our first meet against athletes with different-colored jerseys," said Dunham. "I think it brought the best out of our team today. Overall the coaching staff was pleased with the results."
Balanced effort for Dutch women—The women's squad collected five wins across several different event groups. Senior sprints mainstay Felicia Coleman (Houston, Texas, J. Frank Dobie HS) led the charge, easily winning the 55 meters (7.37) and running a leg on the winning 4×400 relay (4:08.43) along with Taylor Beckman (sophomore, Panora, Panorama HS), Camie Kibbee (sophomore, Mason City), and Melanie Nielsen (freshman, Atlantic). Elin Phipps (freshman, Boone) won the 1,000 meters (3:08.07), Mel McDermott (senior, Britt, West Hancock HS) took the Mile (5:32.79), and Hillary Hotz (sophomore, Fort Dodge, St. Edmond HS) collected a win for the Dutch in the high jump (5-1).
"Felicia is always going to be one of our leaders," said Dunham. "So it was fun to see others making some noise. We're going to need well-rounded efforts like that to achieve our goals."
Elsewhere, McKenna Zimmerman (sophomore, Urbandale) scored a pair of runner-up finishes in her Dutch debut in the 55-meter hurdles (9.09) and the 200 meters (27.72). Alyssa Eaves (sophomore, Johnston) and Amanda Dunkin (junior, Pella) were second (3:19.05) and third (3:20.41) respectively in the 1,000 meters. Sarah Mueller (sophomore, Urbandale) narrowly missed a win in the 600 meters (1:42.8), Maddy Frehe (junior, DeSoto, Kan.) was runner-up in the pole vault (7-10.5), Shanna Aberson (senior, Orange City, MOC-FV HS) placed second in the triple jump (29-3.25), Jess Fevold (senior, Webster City) took second in the weight throw (50-5.25), and the team of Rachel Purdy (senior, Ankeny), Monica Ruiz (freshman, Hudson), Mueller, and Allie McBroom (sophomore, Runnells, Southeast Polk HS) was runner-up in the 4×400 relay (4:20.6).
Meanwhile, third-place finishes went to Ruiz in the 55 meters (7.66), Kibbee in the 400 meters (1:03.52), Beckman in the long jump (15-1.25), Fevold in the shot put (36-6.25) , and Morgan Sharp (senior, Grinnell) in the high jump (4-11).
"We don't want to read too much into the results today, good or bad," said Dunham. "But I think we were all excited to get after it after quite a few months of hard training. We're looking forward to the rest of the season."
The Dutch will resume the indoor campaign Friday and Saturday at the Wartburg Select in Waverly. The heptathlon and pentathlon competitions are scheduled to begin 3 p.m. Friday, while field events will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday followed by running events at 1 p.m.Print this ad for $10 off your next oil change

Topic: Happy Birthday Rick and thank-you
I saw Stacie's post about your birthday but couldn't reply on that thread
I have been coming to this site since my husband was diagnosed in Nov 05 and it proved a tremendous support to me during all the time of his illness. It's a great achievment and I would like to thank both Rick and Stacie for their efforts and the comfort they have brought to so many people suffering from CC.
Happy birthday Rick!

U.S. national team midfielder Sacha Kljestan has signed a two-year contract extension with Anderlecht that will keep him at the Belgian club until the summer of 2016. Kljestan, 27, left for Brussels in 2010 after more than four seasons with Chivas USA. He has become an integral part of Anderlecht's midfield and helped the team win the Belgian Pro League championship last year.
"My new contract represents great respect from the club for my services and my efforts," Kljestan said Friday. "Moreover, my wife and I are very happy because we both like Belgium and especially Brussels. I want to thank the management, colleagues and supporters for their confidence in me."
Kljestan's original deal was set to expire in the summer of 2014. He has played more of a conservative, holding role at Anderlecht and has earned praise for his performances. Although he doesn't push forward as often as he might like, he told Sporting News last year that he feels fulfilled.
"As long I'm on the field doing something in some way to help my team, I think that's important," he said. "You don't always get recognized for doing the dirty work, but I know the fans of Anderlecht have gotten behind me and are supporting me, my teammates as well.
"I've earned the respect of a lot of people in Belgium for doing the hard work and making things easier on my teammates."
Now, he has been rewarded as well.
Kljestan has been on the fringes of the national team picture since Jurgen Klinsmann took over 18 months ago and has appeared in only five games as a reserve. The manager seems to be slowly coming around on the California native, however, and has given him minutes in each of the past four matches for which Kljestan was available. He played the final half hour of Wednesday's World Cup qualifying loss in Honduras.
"He's becoming a consistent influence in his club," Klinsmann said before the game. "We watch his club games. We have people there that scout him, that go to Anderlecht and see his games. He's done very well. He won the championship and played in European competition, and he is also becoming more of a consistent element overseas and we want him to bring that kind of quality back into the national team environment.
"He's been a bit in and out also because of the depth that we have in the midfield. We have an enormous amount of quality in every midfield position and that's why there's obviously a fight going on for those spots. But he's always been in our plans and our roster, and we are pleased with his development over the last couple of years."
Anderlecht is in first place in the Belgian Pro League at 17-2-5, six points ahead of Zulte Waregem. They're scheduled to visit 12th-place Waasland-Beveren on Sunday.

But they dedicated about 1/2 hour to taking calls whether or not Reggie was a Hall of Famer. Of course the callers were split but the announcers were emphatic that he was a first ballot member.

Charleston police are stepping up patrols around Appalachian Power Park, after a woman told police she was sexually assaulted after she left the ballpark late Tuesday.
"We're taking it very seriously," Charleston Police Chief Brent Webster said Wednesday afternoon. "It's disturbing."
Sgt. Tony Hazelett of the Charleston Police Department said the woman left the ball park at about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday after watching a West Virginia Power game and was walking to her car when she was approached by a man asking for money. The woman told the man she didn't have any money, but he continued to follow her along Morris Street, Hazelett said.
When the two got near the intersection of Morris and Smith streets, Hazelett said, the man grabbed the woman by the hair, pinned her against a building and sexually assaulted her.
Webster said city police are already posted in the ballpark during games, and officers patrol the area around the park regularly.
However, the chief has asked the city's bicycle patrol to start patrolling as well, and has asked officers who regularly patrol the city's East End to make extra trips around the ballpark during baseball season.
West Virginia Power spokesman Adam Marco said park staff will also make sure that spectators know they can ask for an escort to their cars. He said the park has always offered escorts to patrons who wanted them, but he doesn't think the service has ever been used.
"We've always had security on-site," Marco said. "We will make sure we make it widely known that if fans want an escort to their car, it will be provided."
Marco said Tuesday night's assault was the most serious incident to take place near the park in the past nine years.
"Any fan or employee is a member of our family here," he said. "We want to make sure people have a good time and feel safe."
Webster said the area around the ballpark has not had a real crime problem over the past several years.
"Since the ball park went in in 2005, it made the area better, really," he said.
The suspect in Tuesday's sexual assault is described as a white male, unshaven, with long gray hair. He is of medium build and about 5 feet, 10 inches tall. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Charleston Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division at 304-348-6480.

Does anyone else want to go shopping (and tanning and to the gym) after watching The Bachelor? I do. And I know a lot of attention is paid to the gowns these girls wear when getting out of the limo, but honestly, I have no place in my life for any of those dresses! So, it's the date fashion that interests me. Let's examine the highs and lows so far this season.

Detailed Description:
Non-professional community leaders may be at a great advantage in reaching otherwise hard to reach populations for the purpose of advising on sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention (lay health advisors), health care access, and model health behavior. Latino migrant farm workers are at increased risk for STD and might benefit from such lay health advisors. The study will examine whether this strategy is a useful one for STD prevention in Latino migrant farm workers in rural and small town areas of North Carolina.

Predator LZ TRX FG in black/white /ray green is the pinnacle of power, control and speed into one high-level performance . In addition to a new, eye-catching look, it has five predator zones, Hybridtouch and SpritFrame technology. It is also miCoach SPEED_CELL compatible.
Upper: Hybridtouch, which is a newly engineered super-soft upper material that provides the benefits of leather and a synthetic for a light weight with a natural feel on the ball.
Full SL Rubber predator technology creates five lethal zones to control the ball with every touch. Predator elements have been engineered and placed according to their specific function. Once the zone position and function was defined, the geometry, shape, height and thickness were selected to best fit the function and need of the player. The Predator rubber has also been updated to be thinner and more effective.
The FIVE Lethal Predator Zones deliver control for dribbling, first touch, the sweet spot, driving and passing:
1 – The dribble zone is designed for quick contact with the ball and close control.
2 – The large first touch zone has recessed ribs to cushion impact and stop the ball. It's a vacuum effect for instant control.
3 – On the sweet spot zone 3D ribs ensure longer contact with the ball to generate speed and spin.
4 – The drive zone has a raised and thicker 3D shape following the natural curve of the instep to help create rebound distance and open the game.
5 – The large control/pass zone is memory foam with a sticky coating on top. This ensures consistency, precision and killer passing.
INSOLE: Pre-molded ssockliner with EVA inserts to reduce stud impact while increasing stability and cushioning.
Nubuck heel lining offers super soft comfort.Weight:8oz.

The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
We lost to NYJ and JAX. We have improved immensely since the Jets loss. Losing to bad teams is over for the 2012 Colts
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
I don't see Luck having any difficulty vs the 28th ranked pass defense

The Colts have better coaching ourselves than we've had in past years..... Not making any comparisons whatsoever with the Pats' coaching.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
But can still happen, lol... I agree that we've improved, but we still have a ways to go. I applaud your enthusiasm though. For real, it's better to endure that than it is to endure overwhelming pessimism. I actually think we could be close to 6-1, more like 5-2 or 4-3, but still, I think we have a decent shot at the playoffs. Even at 4-3, that puts us at 10-6. I don't even care about seeding, because this team is dangerous enough to scare any team, regardless of where or who. Luck is the guy that makes me believe that this team has a chance at any point in time.

There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
We have arrived. Forget everything you have heard or read from the pundits about how bad we were supposed to be before the season started. Forget about the early losses while we were simply figuring out how to win. I know I don't have to tell you how great Andrew Luck already is. You were the one that first made the comparison to Lebron James, and I completely agree. Laugh at me if you want, but I'm expecting Luck to get us to the Super Bowl this year.

I'm not laughing, I think it's possible.... but I'm not sold on "likely". Especially watching the Texans just lay the wood on the Bears. Even LeBron James needed 9 years to win a title.

Peyton needed 9 years too.
Getting to the championship is an extremely difficult task even when you have an absolutely stacked team like the mid 2000's Colts.

Well, Powers and Nevis are done for the year. Chapman has been upgraded to the active roster.
Posted by coltsindianapolis on November 12, 2012 – 3:03 pm
The Indianapolis Colts today activated nose tackle Josh Chapman from the Reserve/Non-Football Injury List and elevated tight end Kyle Miller from the practice squad to the active roster. The Colts placed defensive tackle Drake Nevis and cornerback Jerraud Powers on Injured Reserve.
Chapman, 6-0, 316 pounds, was originally selected by the Colts in the fifth round (136th overall) of the 2012 NFL Draft out of Alabama. During his 54-game collegiate career, Chapman was a part of two Crimson Tide National Championship teams (2009 and 2011) and produced 88 tackles (44 solo), 13.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and four passes defensed. As a senior, he contributed to a defensive unit that led the nation in total defense (183.6 ypg), rush defense (72.2 ypg) and scoring defense (8.2 ppg).
Miller, 6-5, 260 pounds, was signed by the Colts as a free agent on April 3, 2012. He was waived on August 31 and signed to the practice squad a day later. Miller was originally signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Mount Union on July 26, 2011 before being waived on September 3. At Mount Union, Miller totaled 87 catches for 1,259 yards and 16 touchdowns in 47 games, while earning All-Ohio Athletic Conference first-team, All-North Region first-team and All-America honors.
Nevis, 6-1, 310 pounds, appeared in nine game this season (three starts), totaling 20 tackles (seven solo) and one sack. For his career, he has played in 14 games (three starts) and has recorded 39 tackles (16 solo), one sack and one pass defensed.
Powers, 5-10, 187 pounds, started in eight games this year and registered 45 tackles (34 solo), seven passes defensed and an interception. Over his four-year career, he has started all 42 games he's played while making 220 tackles (165 solo), 32 passes defensed, seven interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
Sucks about Powers.
Excited as hell for the game Sunday.

LeBron is 20% of his team on both offense and defense. You can argue he has the same kind of impact on offense and that he may be able to help out w/ field position, but once the defense is out there they're still an average defense that is last in the league in turnovers.

I hope the line really protects Luck this week. Belecheat would like nothing better than to end Luck's career or at least his season if his players get a chance.... I know Luck is big and he is a tough kid. So is Big Ben and that injury he has may be really serious. Shoulder injuries on the throwing arm can end a career for a QB... I hope for the best for Ben and Luck....
Thought you were moving on. Looks like you're still wishing injury upon Luck.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
While also insinuating that Belichick is the type of coach to head hunt QBs...
I don't see how anyone could read my post and think that I was wishing for Luck to be hurt. You bet that I think Belichick is that kind of coach or to try and rip up the knees of a star running back..... I only brought it up because I read what happened to Big Ben who is a big and tough as they come.....I really wasn't suggesting anything but I think there are four games coming up that could be dangerous for any players on the Colts....
No, just the opposite. He is taking a real beating and no one is Superman out there.....

Topic: Mom just diagnosed
My mom was just diagnosed with cc on Oct 7th. The cancer is stage 4, started in the bile duct and now has a 9cm tumor in the liver. She is 67 years young. She spent 2 weeks in the hospital to control the fevers and the pain. She was scheduled for an ERCP to put a stent in, but didn't actually have it done as the surgeon said that there was no blockage and just did a little bit of cutting to let the bile go through. She has no jaundice. She was just sent home this past week-end, and is scheduled to start chemo this Friday. Since she has been at home she has lost all of her energy. She is supposed to get stronger, but it just isn't happening. She sleeps constantly and when she when she is awake she tries to eat something, but her appetite is very low, mostly just chicken noodle soup, and fruit. Today she tried to eat a few pieces of chicken and some pickles and about 20 minutes later they all came back up again. She's drinking fluids, but not as much as i think she should. She is on tylenol with codeine every 5 to 6 hours, or else the fever comes back. Any information on how i can get her stronger so that she can start chemo on Friday would be helpful.

Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Adopts Green Building Policy
At its regularly scheduled meeting today, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors adopted a green building policy for county facilities. The policy requires that buildings be constructed to meet minimum green building standards, if not exceed them.
Today's board action supports Fairfax County's many environmental initiatives, including Cool Counties. Last year, Fairfax County pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050. The county led the development of this new initiative, along with the Sierra Club and two other county governments.
Fairfax County will use the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. At a minimum, county buildings over 10,000 square feet will be required to reach Silver level LEED certification.
The policy applies to the construction of new county buildings and renovations or additions to existing buildings. However, the policy will not be applied to county-constructed single family homes, town houses and low-rise multi-family buildings. Instead, the Energy Star rating system will be used for these types of buildings.
County officials project that the new policy will cost an additional 2-4 percent in construction costs per building. However, these one-time costs are projected to be offset by annual savings in energy and water bills. Per year, green buildings are expected to slash energy costs by 15-25 percent, and water consumption by 20 percent.
One of the county's newest green buildings demonstrates the savings that can be achieved. Built in 2006, Fire Station 40 will save approximately $15,000 per year in reduced energy and water bills.

ONE swallow doesn't make a summer, but these two made the shot of a lifetime for wildlife photographer George Reszeter.
In a year when he has found it hard to spot swallows, the former Oxford Mail staff photographer came across this adult feeding its chick at Besselsleigh, near Abingdon.
The 60-year-old said: "I was just going into Tesco when I saw them on a telephone line and I went to grab my camera. I've been photographing wildlife for 25 or 30 years and I've never managed to get a photo of anything like this before. I'm really quite chuffed."
Adult swallows feed their young for about a week or two after they hatch until they are old enough to go and find their own food.
Mr Reszeter said: "The adults go virtually down the throats of the young birds, it's remarkable.
"I was very surprised to catch them because I've seen very few swallows around Oxfordshire this year, never mind them doing something like this.
"It's very unusual to say the least.
"Wildlife photography is my real passion and this has been a once in a lifetime opportunity for me."

Nebraska kept itself in the running for the Legends Division title by digging itself into a deep hole with turnovers and penalties, then finding a way to claw its way out for a 29-28 road win over Northwestern Saturday.
Martinez shook off the memory of a bad night at Columbus, Ohio, just two weeks earlier and completed 27 of 38 passes for 342 yards and three touchdowns, including a game-winning 7-yard TD pass to tight end Ben Cotton with 2:08 left. Martinez also ran for a TD to help jumpstart Nebraskas comeback from a 28-16 deficit midway through the fourth quarter. Nebraska improved to 5-2 (2-1 Big Ten) and Northwestern fell to 6-2 (2-2).
Here are my three main points. You are welcome to make yours on the Talk Back.
1. Nebraska is developing a set of outstanding pass receivers. Sophomore Kenny Bell is explosive and resilient; he overcame a fumble and made some big plays, including a touchdown catch in the second quarter. Quincy Enunwa, a big, physical senior, caught six passes for 110 yards and made key catches on both of Nebraskas fourth-quarter TD drives despite being in obvious pain on the sidelines. Sophomore Jamal Turner continues to improve, although he had a big catch nullified by an o-line penalty.
2. With Rex Burkhead hobbled by a knee injury, theres a noticeable deficit in the Cornhusker senior class. Daimion Stafford nullified what would have been the Huskers only takeaway with a personal foul penalty on a first-quarter punt, showing a lack of discipline. P.J. Smith dropped interceptions. Kyler Reed fumbled deep in Northwestern territory and crashed into teammate Spencer Long on a fourth-and-3 play in the second half, giving Martinez no blocking at the point of attack. Nebraska would be a much better team if it got more big plays from its seniors instead of being forced to overcome their mistakes.
3. The Husker kicking game was not good. On the plus side, it didnt give up a long return to Northwestern, Brett Maher made a 27-yard field goal and he pinned Northwestern deep with a couple of his punts. On the other hand, Maher shanked a poor kick, and the Husker return game was negligible, even if you ignore the two fumbled punts, which were devastating.

Devizes vicar the Rev Colin Coward is delighted that the House of Commons overwhelmingly voted to allow the marriage of same-sex couples.
Mr Coward, 66, who is homosexual, has been campaigning to get gay marriage legalised for many years and said the vote on Tuesday, by 400 votes to 175, was better than he had dreamed of. He set up the campaign group, Changing Attitudes, which lobbies for more acceptance of same-sex relationships in the Anglican Church here and in Africa.
Gay couples have been able to enter into civil partnerships for a few years, giving the same rights in law as heterosexual couples.
But Mr Coward said: "A civil partnership is a legal contract that gives same-sex couples all legal rights and protection but it doesn't have the social status and values that go with marriage.
"Some churches will accept same-sex marriages, but they are under no obligation to and, unless the House of Bishops wakes up and gets on board, gay couples will be getting married in register offices and town halls but not in churches.
"The battle for equality is not yet won and the campaign will go on."
Devizes MP Claire Perry missed the vote but supports gay marriage. She said: "Ultimately it comes down to fairness and I think it is fair to allow as many people as possible to marry regardless of race, colour or sexual orientation.
"Marriage is the bedrock of our society and anything that strengthens it is to be supported – and in my view this move will strengthen, not weaken, marriage. I reach this view as a practising Christian and it is one shared by our own bishop, Nicholas Holtam.
"I therefore support this legislation, although the irony of the matter is that urgent Government business required me to miss the vote.
"I have so appreciated all the communications from my constituents on this issue – both sides of the argument have been represented fairly and rationally and without rancour and they have helped me reach my decision."
The Archdeacon of Wiltshire, the Venerable Ruth Worsley, said: "Whilst many in the Church of England will have welcomed the passing of the gay marriage vote in the House of Commons, the church as a whole is unable to support the measure at this time.
"However, I wish to emphasise that everyone, no matter what their sexual orientation, is welcome in our churches."
The Rev Ian Cooper, team vicar for the Anglican Team Ministry in Marlborough, said: "The Church of England's position at the moment is that we are excluded from the legislation and therefore we would be unable to conduct any gay marriages.
"On a personal level I am very pleased. The church reflects all sorts of views and mine happens to be one of support but I recognise there are other people in my congregation who would be opposed so we have to live with differences on that.
"I believe in stable relationships and anything that promotes that."
"I remember homosexuality being a criminal offence. Attitudes have changed over 50 years and I am glad that we're now a more loving society."

Hello everyone
I have been really busy with the last arrangements for the big event of the year, my wedding, and that's why I have been a little disconnected… I keep following your blogs (thanks to Google Reader!), but in the latest weeks I have not done another thing apart from worrying and solving all the issues that a wedding implies…
Besides that, to make things complicated, we're getting married in Lagos, but we're organizing eveything from A Coruña! So, you know, I've got the perfect excuse for not having my blog up to date, LOL.
Well, I take this chance to show you the first fabric bags I made. I hope you like it!

Touted modestly as "A Day in December," Saturday's third annual event draws hundreds of young and old alike to Catskill's Main Street for a day of fun and frolic. Best of all -- it's free.
"Yep, it's our third year," said organizer Eileen Dees. "I can hardly believe it, but it's true." She added that, every year, she vows she won't do it, again, because it's a lot of work. And, every year, she does.
"It's such a popular event for kids," Dees, owner of the Garden Gate Caf� on Main Street, said. The day is really for them, but everyone else has fun, too.
"It's the one thing I can't say 'no' to."
The day is such fun, according to Dees, that her two granddaughters, Makaela, 12, and Mia, 8, who live in Connecticut, have insisted her son bring them Saturday.
"They said they didn't want to miss it," she said.
The event will run Saturday, from noon to 5 p.m., when the huge tree, donated by Gem Stoves in Cairo, will be lit.
"Right after the tree lighting, we'll have fireworks," Dees said. "It will be dark enough by then."� The town of Catskill donated funds for the fireworks. The St. Luke's Episcopal Church choir will sing just before the tree lighting.
Of course, there will be Santa, who will arrive around noon by horse and sleigh, provided by Mayone Farm in Saugerties. Santa will be attended by a Gingerbread Boy, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and a snowman.
"The three characters will escort Santa to the Santa House, where kids can have free pictures taken with him," Dees said. "The three characters will walk around on Main Street all afternoon if people want to take pictures with them."
Members of Catskill Community Life Church, she added, will again decorate the Santa House, and Catskill High School students will take the photos. Across the street from the Santa House, Karen Brooks of the Catskill Post Office will set up a booth where children can write a letter to Santa, stamp it and mail it in a special "North Pole" post office box.
Every building on Main Street that is hosting an event is marked by a large "Day in December" sign with an easily recognizable street number on it, Dees said. "There is a free brochure, available at the Catskill Police garage, to find every event, she said.
All the businesses on Main Street will be open. Main Street will not be closed for the event.
Also on the street all afternoon will be Mike the juggler, stilt walker Matt Levine, dressed as a candy cane, and Victorian carolers, Dees said. The Community Theater will present the movie "Home Alone" at 9:45 a.m., followed by a magician and the Zucchini Brothers Band, Dees said. Those events are free.
Dees said the new film, "Rise of the Guardians," in 3-D will be shown at 2 p.m. at the special price of $5, just for Saturday. She added that other events include actors Joseph and Eileen Capone who will read and dramatize "The Polar Express" by author Chris Van Allsburg at 2 and 3:30 p.m. During the day, iconic whittler Dick Brooks will demonstrate whittling techniques, and Teddi Quick of Teddi's Florist will show people how to make perfect gift bows.
"For most kids, though, the highlight of the day is the raffle for the bicycles," Dees said. "That's held in the police garage, beginning around noon."
This year, she added, Sawyer Chevrolet donated 50 bicycles, which are raffled at five-minute intervals all afternoon.
"The raffle tickets are free, and the child does not need to be there in person to win," Dees said. "There are lots of things going on that they won't want to miss."
Sawyer Chevrolet will also provide free hot chocolate, cookies and cupcakes, according to Dees.
There will be raffles for an American Girl doll, a handmade afghan and gift certificates to Frank Guido's Port of Call, La Concha D'Oro, Casa Latina and Price Chopper, she said. Those tickets are available at Garden Gate and the drawings will be take place there.
Gift certificates for the following businesses will also be raffled off: Teddi's Florist, H.R. House, Mahalo, Sweet Sensations, Kirwin's Game Store, Catskill County Store, Body Be Well and Flossie's Gold Mine.
Dees stressed that the above raffle tickets are free, but they must be picked up in person at each of the participating businesses until 4 p.m. The drawings will take place at Garden Gate Caf� at 4:30 p.m.
Dees said she has lined up about 40 vendors who will sell handmade jewelry, baked goods, photographs, wooden items and crafts in four separate buildings throughout the day. Both the Catskill Library and Home Depot will have crafts projects for children at two separate locations during the day.
"I've been working on this day for months now, and I've lost track of all the events," Dees said. "I can just promise kids there's lots to do -- and it's all free."

A BUSINESSMAN has been jailed for 14 months for three offences relating to a violent incident in Keighley.
Grant Doyle, 32, was convicted for assault occasioning actual bodily harm, dangerous driving in a silver Audi A5 and having two blades articles – two knives – in North Street.
Doyle suspected Ricky Middleton, a builder, was responsible for the theft of an iPad and criminal damage at Doyle's business property he was having improved with a view to expanding his firm, Bradford Crown Court was told on Friday.
Doyle made continued calls to the police regarding allegations of criminal damage and theft at his business but the matter was not taken any further, which "frustrated" him.
By chance, Doyle spotted Middleton outside Flames Pizza Bar in North Street on January 3 this year, he took the two knives out of his car to confront him but Middleton ran up the street.
Unable to catch him on foot, Doyle threw one of the knives up the street towards Middleton in "an act of frustration". But he then returned to his car to chase after Middleton in his vehicle.
Middleton's friend, Jamie Smith, stood in front of Doyle's Audi to prevent him from driving off. Mr Smith was then thrown on to the bonnet of the car.
Prosecuting, Camille Moorland said: "Doyle was on bail for offences of threatening behaviour when he committed these offences on January 3.
"He got out of the silver Audi he was driving and took two knives out, one was a kitchen knife of between four and five inches and the other was a two-inch pocket knife.
"Doyle said he was 'going to get' Middleton."
Doyle, of Airedale View, Cross Hills, who pleaded guilty to the charges at an earlier hearing, was also disqualified from driving for 18 months.
Judge Jonathan Rose told him: "You had in your mind that Middleton was getting away with what you believe he had done to your business. It excuses not one jot what you did.
"You happened on Middleton and Smith entirely accidentally. You did not go out to look for them. After that, your behaviour was appalling, it was unforgivable and not justified by what happened before. You should have just gone away.
"You took the law into your own hands. I think you have a problem with your behaviour.
"It's my view that you have plied your mind to this situation that you were going to get Middleton. You were going to do violence to him."

Ciba Specialty Chemicals "Precision" Poster
Gottschalk & Ask International, Toronto, Ontario, 1997
The poster is one in a series devoted to communicating the meaning behind the Ciba Specialty Chemical's corporate logo—the butterfly symbol—to company employees and the general public. The featured image represents the precise design and superlative technical expertise of Ciba's chemical processes. The logical structure of the symbol underpins the company's dedication to quality and perfection in all its operations. As part of a unified design program for Ciba, this poster demonstrates excellence through its clear, concise, and powerful design, dedicated to a single, high-impact message. In addition, the identity positions the new Ciba Specialty Chemicals as assertive and strong, self-confident, youthful, international, and alive, and refocuses its culture toward high performance in the wake of the merger/demerger from its former parent.
