Students Fake Trump's Assassination And It's OK. Try This On Obama And It's RACIST
Students of a San Antonio high school staged a mock Donald Trump assassination skit and set the world on fire for several reasons. It's reported that the students and teacher were reprimanded.
I don't agree with the reprimanding because we fought so hard for free speech, so I can't knock them on what they did because it makes me a hypocrite of free speech. The CAN say whatever they want and if I don't agree with it, then that's my problem. We do not have to agree with everything that everyone says.
However, the students were promoting violence and the assassination of a real person, a President elect, so that might warrant some sort of domestic violence or conspiracy charges (doubtful), yet should not be permitted in a high school setting. At the very least, a slap on the wrist at school is in order.
The other factor is that if any students did this with Obama, then the leftist media outlets and liberals everywhere would call the students racist. Even if the kids were black, they would get called racists because Obama is black. Even if the students did this with Obama, and were not racist in anyway in their entire life, they would be labeled as a racist by the inability of the leftists to determine a real racist and their lust to call everyone a bigot.
So here, I'll post a picture of an assassinated Obama for them. They can call me a bigot, racist, whatever they want. It's just a picture of a hypothetical and fictional situation that revolves around the question of "what if" and not "when I do" – because I wouldn't and I don't think anyone ever will, which is a good thing. People shouldn't do that unless they want to find themselves with four hots and a cot.

Break from Technology Recap!
I'm back...:) I just returned from my five day break from technology / cleanse. My family and I are at our home in Romania for my sister inlaw's wedding and to enjoy Fall in the mountains here in Transylvania.
I decided to take a much-needed break from technology. No computer. No cell phone. Just me, my family, a good book, my pencil and paper, lots of fresh fruits and vegie's and the beautiful Fall weather.
I first want to send out a BIG thank you to my business manager Barry Day for supporting my decision to take this break and for holding down the fort here at Joanna International. I am so grateful to have you on my team!
The result of this mini-sabbatical was nothing short of Amazing... Revolutionary.
There is more to life than tweeting, playing new games and apps on my ipad. More than status updates and Google alerts.
There are picnics and delicious cheeses and good local wine and laughter around a table with friends. There are runs through the brisk morning air and time alone spent reflecting and dreaming.
There is love and life abundant.
And some of us need to remember that.
It took this break from technology for me to understand this, but I'm slowly learning the truth of this quote:
"Life is not a support system for art. It's the other way around."
So often, I think that my life exists to support my obsessions — my love affair with writing, speaking, creativity and being an entrepreneur. But this isn't the case at all. Those are all means to an end.
When we treat our work as life — instead of a way to live — we fall out of balance and into unhealthy habits.
The only way out is to move in to something else. To step away and gain a new perspective. That's what I did during this break. And there were three lessons I learned from my recent break from technology:
Lesson 1: Embrace your surroundings. I learned that the world is an even more beautiful place than I once thought.
Granted, I do live in some of the most beautiful places I've ever visit..Czech and Romania — Vibrant natural beauty and this just happened to be during my favorite season.
I realized that my time away from the laptop and iPad made this perspective possible.
And I'm grateful.
Lesson 2: Embrace your inner life. During my break, I had a lot of time to think, pray, and reflect. Much of this time was while surrounded by beautiful scenery or during extended time in the car (we drove from CZ to Ro).
During such times, I would normally pull out my ipad, smartphone and write something, plan ahead, play a game. But I wasn't able to do that.
Instead, I was forced to ponder and dream. I was allowed to be creative again, no longer controlled by the urgency of the moment. I learned how to be proactive again, instead of merely reactive.
Lesson 3: Embrace inspiration from other sources. Oddly, this time wasn't filled with much writing. Other than some scribbles in my notebook on the drive here to Romania, I didn't write at all.
Instead of creating content, I consumed it. (This, admittedly, is something I have unfortunately been neglecting.)
I read books recommended to me by my dear friend (Michelle Young...thank you!) and listened to music and had life-giving conversations with friends that I'd been neglecting. I walked and ran more than I usually do and drank delicious juice and tea.
In fact, I learned that I don't have to constantly be checking my online sites in order for it to still have an impact. But that's a lesson for another post.
A final challenge
If you are going to do creative work that will change the world, then there is one ingredient necessary to your success: rest.
You must take time to take care of your soul, to check in with your emotional self and make sure all is well with your inner life. This is essential — more than with any other type of work, in my opinion.
Because your vocation requires you to pull from within, to consult the genius inside of you, to reach into the depths of your soul and share it with the world — to inspire, encourage, challenge, and change.
I will say it again: If you endeavor to create, you must rest.
Granted, my break from technology was a last minute decision, but given what I learned, I intend to make breaks like this more of a regular discipline.
Have you ever gone on a technology break? If so, what did you learn? Join the discussion in the comments.
Lots of Love,

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Find information about Iowa Central Community College winter break, and registering for elective seminars and discussion sections. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Consult with an academic advisor, to ensure that your chosen classes constitute a full-time course load, and fulfills major requirements. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Iowa Central Community College major requirement information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Iowa Central Community College.
Don't imagine that college is all about getting good grades and finding a job after graduation. A large part of the university growth experience is about personal development and participating in extracurricular activities such as student government, writing for the school newspaper, or joining one of the many student clubs on campus.
It isn't necessary to take a leadership position in a student organization on campus, in order to enjoy contributing to student life at your school. Sure, you have to live somewhere, but spending your freshman year in the dorms can give you the added benefit of making friends and establishing a social circle. Consider signing up for a meal plan, and gaining 10 pounds in the dining hall. Again, the purpose is to socialize and meet other students outside the classroom. Don't forget to go home for the holidays and take advantage of spring break to let off steam. Beyond consideration for Iowa Central Community College winter break, you may think about Modesto College drop dates for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

The Angel Investment Network platform helps entrepreneurs with great business ideas find the funding and guidance they need to grow their businesses and succeed. The biggest problem a budding entrepreneur faces is finding the right source of investment for their business; it is often not simply a question of the money but also where the money comes from. AIN connects entrepreneurs with a global network of nearly 100,000 investors so that they can find an investor with the right credentials and industry experience to grow their business. Entrepreneurs register and submit a business proposal using a simple proposal template. Once they have created their proposal it is listed on the site for investors to analyse. There is a free novice package available to trial the service, but the paid Pro packages grant access to more features, greater exposure and ultimately a far higher success rate. "The team at Angel Investment Network were a pleasure to work with, extremely professional and everybody that we were introduced to said the same. They provided us with quality leads and we have a couple on board as first round investors.� Chris Michael, CEO & Founder at Swytch (http://swytch.com/) "The whole team is geared towards making life easy for an entrepreneur…The quality of the investors was really high too. These are people you want to stay in touch with for a long time. I cannot recommend AIN highly enough.� Siddarth Vijayakumar, Co-Founder of Grub Club (http://grubclub.com/) For more: https://www.angelinvestmentnetwork.com.pk/.

Apple has now rolled out its shiny new iPhones.
On Sept. 12, Apple executives predictably pronounced the latest phones "revolutionary." But the real revolution is happening under the surface and behind the scenes.
The new iPhones come with cutting-edge brand-new features. For example, Apple touted Face ID for faster login, Portrait Lighting to make faces brighter in photos, and Animoji, which are avatars that change facial expression when the user does.

After six years of acclaimed cabaret performances, diva Mama Alto and her musical directress Miss Chief spent November 2016 in an extraordinary entirely analogue recording facility for vinyl records. Recorded live to tape on original vintage sound equipment - including an actual machine used by Nat King Cole himself at Capitol Records, and an RCA microphone of the kind favoured by Sarah Vaughan - the result is a stunning capture of 25 of their best loved song interpretations from their extensive jazz repertoire.
The recordings are ready, under the watchful and diligent technical mastery of Alex Bennett at Sound Recordings. Now it is time to release them, and the diva has turned to the popular trend of crowdfunding to help make it happen.
"Crowdfunding is a fabulous resource for independent and emerging artists," Mama Alto explained enthusiastically. "In an increasing climate of uncertainty when it comes to arts funding, particularly in the independent and fringe arts sectors, artists everywhere are looking for alternatives to government and big business funding sources." She pauses, flirtatiously bites her lip, and purrs cheekily: "That being said, I highly welcome any government bodies and big business tycoons with money for the arts to give me a call."
At its essence, crowdfunding utilises online platforms - Pozible, Kickstarter and GoFundMe are amongst the most popular - to connect people to artists. Artists upload details of their projects and set a funding target, laying out a budget and offering rewards and incentives to their donors. In this case, Mama Alto's donors are effectively pre-ordering their copies of her jazz cabaret albums, amongst other additional and fabulous rewards.
"Recording this album was an astounding experience," the diva continues. "We spent time in the goldfields country of central Victoria, with the very gifted Alex Bennett at his fabulous Sound Recordings studio. An avid collector of vintage equipment, Alex's gear and his skills with them allowed us to record the way our old school torch singing idols did."
You can pre-order your copies of four distinct releases - "Songbird," "Lady Sings the Blues," "Torch Songs" and "Salon Series" - via Mama Alto's Pozible campaign. Each release represents a separate slice of Mama Alto and pianist Miss Chief's most loved live repertoire from their last six years of collaborations.

Personalized Picture Flower Vase | A vase identifies an accessory which is largely used for the ornamentation purpose. It's possible for you to craft them on beautifully on your own own. Also these forms of vases can carry many types of decorative things like various kinds of plants, flowers or facsimile that is cosmetic. Some vases do not want anything else to be appraised. They can act a sign of cosmetic item which itself can be of much worth. The ones that are set before a window have the capability to caste an attractive light on a room. Several other areas in the room at which you could keep the vases to get the very best effects would be the mantel or in a center place, where they are able to act as austere watchers on the room.
However, using a second decorative item can further enhances the wonder of the cosmetic items to complement it. By doing this you'll be able to create a fantastic optical effect that may be an eye catcher. Even the use of different colored water can provide you some really amazing effect.
Blossoms are obviously common for complementing the vases. For setting single blossom you and you can use the smaller bud vases and the bouquets that are big, respectively. Depending upon the whole inside it and also how big the vase, you need to pick the blooms. The common and very old issue with blossoms is that they dries up and dies out within couple of days. To avoid this issue you can take advantage of the artificial flowers that can provide an equally good effect much like the original blossoms to you.Personalized Picture Flower Vase

Small Engine
Small Engine Troubleshooting Problems? Ask a Mechanic Now.
HI, my name is***** will be assisting you.
On this system you can't disconnect the small wire going to the ignition coil because it is actually a feed to trigger the ignition coil to fire. There is a small trigger unit mounted to the outside of the engine block that has a wire going to it and then from it to the ignition coil. Most likely the trigger unit is bad causing your problem. The trigger unit or module is about 1" square and normally gold in color. If you haven't already replaced it then this is where I would start since you have already replaced other parts with no needed results.
Thank you it has been a pleasure to assist you.
Please take a moment to rate your experience.
I am including a diagram of the ignition system to maybe help you better identify the trigger module.
It is the part that is referenced with 21119A in the picture.
Have you checked the condition of the magnet that is on the flywheel? Will it hold a medium sized screwdriver straight up or not?
Ignition coil is gapped at .010 inches to the flywheel?
In my experiences .010 normally works better. That is where I become accustomed to setting all coils in my 28 years of small engine repair. It just seemed like I had better dependability and life from the coil.
OK - that should have eliminated everything backwards in the rest of the system then.
I would readjust the ignition coil gap and see if that doesn't help. If not it is possible that you may have received a weak or bad coil, at which point I would request a replacement from the place that you purchase it from.
Yes, all you need to do is come back here and we can continue from here.
You are welcome. I will be waiting to hear back from you in a couple days.

What's In My Closet? Cowboys' Good-Ol'-Day Syndrome Edition
On this
bittersweet crappy day of mourning - the 20th anniversary of Tom Landry's firing - thought I'd rummage through my junk and find some old Cowboys' stuff.
On this
Stuff weaved around Super Bowl trophies. Stuff involving Hall of Fame heroes. Stuff from an era when players and coaches had a lot on their minds and weren't muzzled from saying it. Stuff from way back when the Cowboys were not only America's Team, but a team from Dallas we could all be proud of.
Stuff not including you-know-who. (Well, some of his handiwork but not his likeness.)
Actually, let's just go back to 1992-93, shall we?

Here is a post by Naboth posted on Escape From the Fellowship.
LOOKING over on the Praise Chapel message board reveals some interesting things. I saw in the files section some details about their worldwide conference. Here are some of the people who appeared in it.
Larry Neville, Jack Neville {I think this is his father who recently passed away}, Mike Mastin {former president of cfm}, Jack Harris {former pastor of Prescott church}, Ron Simpkins {wrote 'we can take the land'} Greg Johnson {another who needs no introduction}, John Holland {Is this the same guy from Foursquare?} and Dale Reece.
That is all in one conference. Now cast your mind back to the last Prescott conference. Can you remember who was preaching? Now let me see, there was ...erm...ah..there was..oh yes...there was Wayman Mitchell..and there was ...erm..ah..
How strange to see so many well known people preaching in another conference while Mitchell stands there in his conference of anonymous men.

Interview: Phillip Olympia of Never Nervous
As part of 37FLOOD's 10th Anniversary we have asked Louisville writers to talk about music, Louisville, culture, and what it's like writing about it all in the Derby City. We will be posting the interviews throughout the summer.
Phillip Olympia is the founder of the Louisville music & entertainment blog Never Nervous, which he began in 2011. He is also a musician and operator of Dunkenstien Records.
37- What is the name of the publication you write for?
PO- Never Nervous, obviously named after Louisville Basketball legend Never Nervous Pervis Ellison.
37- How long has it been operating?
PO- I started Never Nervous in 2011 as a sort of excuse to keep in touch with music in Louisville. The band I was in at the time had just broken up, and considering there wasn't another band for me on the horizon I figured this would be a good way to contribute to the "scene".
37- How long have you been covering music in Louisville?
PO- I've only been "covering" music since 2011, but I've been personally documenting it since the late 90's by purchasing tapes, CDs and records from countless bands thanks to likeminded friends that introduced me to bands like Bodyhammer, Elliott, Seaside Panel and By the Grace of God when I was a teenager.
37- What made you decide to cover music in Louisville?
PO- To start, Bryan Volz and Louisville Hardcore were a major inspiration behind Never Nervous. I loved what he did, I loved his passion, but wanted to expand beyond Louisville's heavier side.
In short, I just fucking love this city and it's weird collection of artists and musicians. I haven't been actively playing music in a while, so as a spectator, how could I not? I'm never bored in Louisville as a fan of music, and I don't see that ever changing.
37- What has been the most exciting or rewarding post you have written?
PO- That's an impossible question to answer. I've gotten all-the-way-hard writing about all sorts of things, whether it be reminiscing about Bodyhammer's "Die Young Amplifiers" album, interviewing Will Oldham about his Merle Haggard covers record, or telling people how awesome Rec Bar was when they first opened. Just about every thing I post about is a boner for me, and if it wasn't I wouldn't write about it.
37- Has there been a scandalous situation you have been involved with during your time as a music writer?
PO- Shit, John.. I don't think I've ever written anything scandalous or controversial, aside from a few record reviews that weren't 100% positive where the band/artist put me/NN on blast for not falling in love with their project. But that's not really news as a "music writer" right? Sometimes you love it, sometimes you don't, but there's almost always something to appreciate from a genuine artistic output, right? Yes, I'm right.
37- What Local music publications or writers do you keep up with?
PO- I mean, all of them? I guess? LEO still turns me on to some cool shit and rjmeads.com is a killer hip hop blog. I've actually been subscribed to the 37Flood e-mail list for years. But to be honest, I spend so much time in the Never Nervous e-mail inbox sorting through this and that figuring out what's what that I don't have much time to get to much else aside from clicking links on social media. The only blog that I anxiously comb through on a daily basis is Bloody Disgusting, because duh, it's awesome.
37- What are some of your favorite events you have covered?
PO- Man, covering last year's Days of the Dead horror convention was a fucking blast. Meeting the cast from Return of the Living Dead and a bunch of other horror icons (like Sid Haig!) was so much fun. I know that's not related to music, but hot damn, that was a great time.
Aside from that, Poorcastle is always a blast, as is Forecastle. I also had a great time hanging out at last year's Louisville Arcade Expo, especially when Bit Brigade performed their version of the soundtrack to Mega Man II as a speed runner blew through the game while remaining in sync with the band. It was nuts!
37- What do you see in the future for Louisville Music?
PO- In the near future I see Louisville's hip hop scene continue to blossom as a unique community unlike any other. I feel like acts such as James Lindsey, Touch AC, 1200, Shadowpact, Goodbar & RMLLW2LLZ (to name a few) are so fucking brilliant; I'm proud to walk on some of the same dirt as those dudes for sure.
Aside from that, who the hell knows? I like being surprised, I prefer to not prognosticate. Every week something awesome arrives in our inbox, or something brilliant will surface on Bandcamp or Soundcloud (although Soundcloud sucks, I wish people would stop using it).
In closing, I love this god damned town, warts, farts and all. I love the noise, I love the food, I love the beer, I love the fun. Never stop being awesome, Louisville.

Master Gao Tieniao
Master Gao Master Gao Tie-Niao was born in Wujin, Jiang Su Province, in China in 1948. He showed great interests in martial arts even when he was very little. Early on he became the apprentice of famous Shaolin master Jin Xiang-Bao.
He studied all sorts of external styles such as Shaolin Quan and all kinds of weapons, including sword, broadsword, spear, staff, hook etc. After practicing very hard he built up a strong martial arts foundation and received the essence of master Jin's teachings.
At the age of 18, he was recommended to study with master Pei Xi-Rong, who was a very famous official descendant of Wudang style martial arts and Qigong in Shanghai. Master Gao then started practicing Wudang internal martial arts, such as Xingyiquan, Baguazhang, Taijiquan, Qigong and other internal gongfu (skills). He also studied traditional Daoism theories, I Ching (book of changes), Chinese medicine, acupuncture, Tuina (Chinese traditional massage).
Master Gao is very talented and diligent. After studying very hard and close with master Pei for more than 40 years he has gained a very wide and deep knowledge of the internal style martial arts, he excels and masters it both in practice and in it's theories. His movements are powerful, swift and beautiful.
He is a well-liked teacher with a good eye for details, is generous in his teachings and patient with his students. As the official inheritor of master Pei's arts he hopes very much to fulfill his masters last wish, to promote the skills, morals and virtues of Chinese traditional martial arts and culture.
To do this master Gao has contributed his efforts to promote Chinese traditional Wushu and Qigong both in China and abroad. He is working for many different organizations, to name a few, as chairman and main coach of Shanghai Baguazhang Association, as chairman of Shanghai Wudang Qigong Study Institute and as secretary of Shanghai Wudang Martial Arts Institute. He has students in China, USA, Canada, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Japan, Singapore and Hongkong.

A mixed-use project called Gateway at Wynwood is planned across from the stalled Walmart site in Midtown Miami.
The proposal includes:
The project is scheduled for review by Miami's Urban Development Review Board at a meeting today (3/15.)
2994 NMA Gateway Properties LLC, an affiliate of Aron Rosenberg's New York based R&B Realty is the developer.
Kobi Karp is the architect.
11 Comments on "Gateway at Wynwood Proposed Across From Midtown With Retail & Office"
In Wynwood? No Comment.
Love Karp designs
Looks awesome.
Such a shame they are making the same mistakes with the ridiculous amount of parking being added to each project in Wynwood.
Most Miami folks drive their cars to Wynwood and need parking.. but you probably already knew that.
I'm sorry but I have to agree. They shouldn't be adding so much parking. The area should be strictly walkable. Miami Beach limits parking and not only it's the best looking area in the county, but it's the most dense, walkable, and people still manage to be there
>limits parking
>tourists circle around, stop in the middle of streets and create traffic trying to find parking
all one for an actual transit plan, but miami beach is hardly a stellar example of a true walkable/transitable metropolitan
184,300 square feet of office space
Do you really expect no parking with that office space?
What's wrong with parkings?
No retail on the street level-dead.
Hmmm not sure if you actually looked at the plans posted but the ground floor is mostly retail…….Do just a little bit of research before commenting.

- 2 lbs sirloin or round beef roast, thawed
- 4 large red potatoes, washed and cut in half
- 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch pieces
- 1 14.5 oz can of organic, natural beef broth or stock
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
In a large slow cooker, place roast in the middle. Arrange potatoes and carrots around the sides.
In a separate container, combine and mix well broth/stock, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Pour evenly over roast, potatoes, and carrots. Cover and cook on HIGH for 5-6 hours or on LOW 8-10 hours.
Tip: If roast is still tough or carrots/potatoes not soft, cook for 1-2 hours longer on HIGH. Roast should be extremely tender and carrots/potatoes soft. To make a healthier gravy, once roast, potatoes, and carrots are removed from slow cooker, use the remaining liquid and whisk to help get all the scrapping off the side. Pour liquid into a medium-size pot and bring to boil. In a small bowl, combine 2 tsp cornstarch and 2 tsp water until smooth. While constantly whisking the boiling liquid, add the cornstarch mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes until gravy thickens. Pour over meal to enjoy.

Predicting Buffalo Bills' Free Agent SigningsMarch 3, 2013
Predicting Buffalo Bills' Free Agent Signings
Free agency is a little more than a week away and the Buffalo Bills have money to spend.
Being realistic, Buffalo won't make a splash like they did last year when they were able to woo Mario Williams, the defensive prize of free agency, and fellow defensive end Mark Anderson.
But the Bills have made many moves over the past few weeks to get ready for free agency.
The team cut ties with veterans Nick Barnett and George Wilson on February 11. Terrence McGee was let go three days later on February 14.
On February 15, Buffalo re-signed Tarvaris Jackson to a one-year, $1.75 million deal. Backup OL Colin Brown re-signed with Buffalo on February 19 for a base salary of $630,000 in 2013.
Restricted free agents David Nelson and Donald Jones were not tendered and will also be going elsewhere in free agency.
On February 27, defensive end Chris Kelsay announced his retirement.
Following Kelsay's retirement, Matt Warren of BuffaloRumblings.com wrote a fantastic piece that calculated Buffalo's cap space to be near $28 million.
Since then, Jairus Byrd was franchised on March 1. Byrd's franchise tag will cost the Bills $6.8 million and reduces Buffalo's cap space to $21.2 million.
And, finally, if Buffalo does not trade of any of its picks, its rookie class will cost $5,180,294.
If nothing else changes between now and the start of free agency on March 12, the Bills will have a little more than $16 million to spend on free agents.
Considering the holes the team has to fill, it's hard to envision Buffalo going after the likes of Paul Kruger, Dwayne Bowe, Greg Jennings or Mike Wallace, all of whom figure to be too expensive.
Buffalo has to be smart with its $16 million, so keep that in mind when reading my potential targets.
FS Dashon Goldson
Buffalo will only be able to sign one "bigger name" free agent and Goldson would be intriguing.
According to Tim Graham of The Buffalo News, WR Stevie Johnson has made a pitch to Goldson along with Dwayne Bowe and Greg Jennings. When speaking with Goldson, Johnson had this to say: "I just asked him, 'Who would you want to go to?' Out of his lips, he was talking about Buffalo a lot," Johnson said. "I'm, like, 'Man!'''
Now, if I were a potential free agent, I'd gush about all 32 teams since I want to be paid by someone. So Goldson talking about Buffalo could be nothing more than a way to get an offer from the team. If it's the highest offer he receives, perhaps he comes to Buffalo. If not, the Bills could simply be used as leverage.
One reason that Goldson may want to play in Buffalo is to play alongside fellow FS Jairus Byrd.
As pointed out by Graham, new defensive coordinator Mike Pettine didn't designate FS and SS when he was with the Jets. This would allow the Bills to have two talented safeties on the field at the same time.
Goldson was franchised in 2012 by the 49ers for about $6.2 million. In 2013, I expect Goldson to look to receive close to this amount annually by a team.
In 2012, Goldson was ranked as the 20th-best safety in the league by Pro Football Focus. He tied with Dwight Lowery as the 10th-best coverage safety.
Goldson also was called for six penalties in 2012, the most among safeties in the league.
Coming off a Pro Bowl appearance, Goldson would be an expensive addition, but a great fit in Pettine's defense.
Projected Yearly Salary: $6.5 million
Remaining Cap Space: $9.5 million
ILB Bart Scott
I'd love for the Bills to bring in Dannell Ellerbe or Brad Jones, but Bart Scott is the most realistic option.
This will be Scott's second experience with free agency, and it's safe it say it'll be much different this time around.
In 2009, Rex Ryan and Mike Pettine were in Scott's driveway at midnight on the first day of free agency as the Jets were trying to convince him to leave the Ravens.
Fast forward to 2013, and Scott will be lucky to get a phone call at midnight on March 12th.
Scott is a step slower and known more for his talk than his play.
That said, it's vital that the Bills bring in veteran from the Jets who is familiar with Pettine's system and playbook.
While Scott is a shell of his former self, he was still somewhat productive in 2012.
He doesn't necessarily believe he's slowing down. He blames his poor play on a toe injury he sustained in Week 3.
Last season, Pro Football Focus ranked Scott as the 18th-best ILB in the league.
His overall rating was a far cry from that of Patrick Willis, the top-ranked ILB.
According to PFF, Scott is most effective as a pass-rusher, where he's the ninth best in the league at his position.
Scott's best days are behind him, but he could still play a pivotal role for the Bills in 2013. Buffalo should offer him slightly more than the veteran minimum
Projected Yearly Salary: $1 million
Remaining Cap Space: $8.5 million
WR Brandon Gibson
Brandon Gibson is an underrated wide receiver in my eyes.
I'm not the only person who feels this way. ESPN lists him as an under-the-radar free agent (Insider content).
Gibson is 25 years old and coming off a season when he caught 51 passes for 691 yards and five touchdowns.
The former Rams wide receiver runs a 4.4 40-yard dash, so he has the speed you look for in an outside receiver. At 6'0", Gibson also has decent size.
Among the positives in Gibson's game is his route-running ability. Gibson also has reliable hands, dropping only five passes in 2012.
The only knock on Gibson is that he doesn't necessarily play as fast as his 4.4 speed.
According to PFF, Gibson was the 39th-best receiver in the NFL in 2012 based on its criteria in receiving, blocking, rushing and penalties.
In terms of receiving, Gibson was ranked 23rd, tied with Hakeem Nicks of the Giants.
On the free agent market, Gibson is going to receive a fair amount of interest. Buffalo would be wise to go after him early. He could be a target for many teams once Mike Wallace, Dwayne Bowe, Greg Jennings and others start signing deals.
Projected Yearly Salary: $3.5 million
Remaining Cap Space: $5 million
CB Leodis McKelvin
There are plenty of cornerbacks available in free agency, but Buffalo is likely to stick with a familiar face in Leodis McKelvin.
On February 21, Buffalo Bills GM Buddy Nix told buffalobills.com that the team wants to bring back McKelvin: "Leodis is a guy we'd like to keep," Nix said.
McKelvin didn't turn out to be the shutdown cornerback the team had hoped for after selecting him 11th overall in the 2008 draft, but he played respectably in 2012.
Multiple injuries threw McKelvin into Buffalo's starting lineup and, to his credit, he played well.
McKelvin finished as the 34th-best cornerback in 2012, according to PFF.
He also excelled on special teams. PFF rated him as the league's top kick returner in 2012.
McKelvin had 23 punt returns for 431 yards, an average of 18.7 yards. He returned two punts for touchdowns. On 18 kick returns, McKelvin averaged 28.3 yards a return.
He is only 27 years old, so he still has plenty of years left to play. In Mike Pettine's defense, McKelvin could turn the corner and show his worth.
McKelvin said he hopes to start at cornerback. In Buffalo, he'd likely be given his first crack as a starter in training camp opposite Stephon Gilmore.
Projected Yearly Salary: $3 million
Remaining Cap Space: $2 million
DE Mike DeVito
With $2 million to burn, Buffalo should bring in Mike DeVito to play as a rotational defensive end with Mark Anderson.
DeVito is another veteran familiar with Pettine's system, and he could greatly help Anderson, Mario Williams, Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus make the transition.
DeVito's value can't be questioned, according to PFF. In 2012, DeVito was ranked as the 10th-best DE in a 3-4 defense.
Run defense, a major weakness for the Bills, was the area in which DeVito shined. His PFF rating was seventh best among defensive ends in a 3-4.
DeVito is not a starting defensive end, but Buffalo doesn't need a starter. His role as a run stopper on first and second down would benefit the Bills greatly.
Projected Yearly Salary: $2 million
Remaining Cap Space: $0
New-Look Bills
With these additions, the Bills' roster would still have holes to fill. Quarterback, wide receiver and outside linebacker would be the team's biggest needs heading into the 2013 NFL draft.
A wide receiver or linebacker would be my priority in Round 1. My targets would be Geno Smith, Dion Jordan, Barkevious Mingo or Jarvis Jones, depending upon his health.
At wide receiver, the team could target DeAndre Hopkins, Justin Hunter, Robert Woods, Quinton Patton or Terrance Williams in the second round. Da'Rick Rogers is another WR the team could look at in the second round, but he may fall to the third.
As for QB, Buffalo could address the position in Round 2 with the likes of Ryan Nassib, Tyler Wilson or EJ Manuel. Tyler Bray could be another target in the third round.
In the later rounds, Buffalo could look to add another tight end, then pick best available player.
Bills fans, should I send my resume to Doug Whaley, the team's heir apparent at GM, or stick to my day job?

River of Life was inspired by Psalm 1 from the Holy Bible. It reads:
Blessed is the man
who walks not in the council of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
but his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.

T'ang Terracotta Sculpture of a Horse with a Detachable Saddle - H.713
The T'ang Dynasty was an era of unrivalled wealth and luxury. The country was successfully reunified and the borders were expanded, pushing Chinese influence into new lands. Confucianism became a semi-religious instrument of the state; yet Buddhism continued to flourish, spreading into Korea and Japan. The arts reached new levels of sophistication. Poetry and literature flourished under the enlightened rulers. The Silk Road brought fortunes into China. Precious treasures were imported on the backs of camels from far away lands and bartered for Chinese silk, medicinal herbs, and pungent spices. T'ang China was a multicultural empire where foreign merchants from across Central Asia and the Middle East settled in the urban centers, foremost among them the thriving capital of Chang'an (modern X'ian), a bustling cosmopolitan center of over two million inhabitants. Foreign traders lived next to native artisans and both thrived. New ideas and exotic artistic forms followed alongside. The T'ang Dynasty was a cultural renaissance where many of the forms and objects we now associate with China were first created. Moreover, this period represents one of the greatest cultural outpourings in human history.
The great influence of the horse throughout the history of China cannot be underestimated. In fact, the ancient unification of the Chinese Empire was due in large part to the horse. Their rapid mobility allowed for quick communication between far away provinces. Likewise, the military role of horses aided in the conquest and submission of distant lands. The need to import stronger, faster steeds from Central Asia (as opposed to the native Mongol pony) led to the creation of the Silk Road. The importance of the horse in the history and culture of China can be viewed, in part, through the artistic legacy of this great civilization. In sculpture, painting, and literature, horses were glorified and revered, believed to be relatives of dragons, a theory reflecting their sacred status within society. During the T'ang Dynasty, the adoration of the horse can be seen through their burial art. Horse models excavated from mausoleums of the period are among the most splendid and easily recognizable works of Chinese art.
This impressive, large sculpture of a horse still retains much of its original white pigment in tact. However, even more impressive, is the removable saddle that graces his back. Painted in bright orange, this textured saddle may have once supported a rider who is now lost to us. A hole in the rear would have once presumable been filled with real horsehair. Traces of polychrome are also visible inside the nose and along the mouth. The horse raises one leg in the air, his head is turned to the side and his mouth is slightly ajar. All these features are sought after by collectors. When one imagines this horse as it might have originally appeared, with vibrant hues, a similarly modeled rider, and tail of real horsehair, the illusion would have been uncanny. This gorgeous sculpture is a testament to the admiration and adoration the Chinese had for this marvelous creatures. Although they were an integral part in the expansion and defense of the empire, they were equally regarded for their beauty and grace as revealed by this sculpture. - (H.713)

P.E.I.'s Official Opposition is questioning government's priorities after an internal email was made public, apparently by accident, reminding cabinet ministers of the premier's request for "good news announcements" to be made while political polling is conducted on the Island.
"Why are the needs of your failing political career more important than the needs of vulnerable Islanders?" PC MLA James Aylward asked the premier as the issue was debated during question period Wednesday.
The email chain was included in budget documents tabled by Minister of Family and Human Services Tina Mundy on Tuesday.
The first email in the series is from the premier's Chief of Staff Robert Vessey, sent to all cabinet ministers.
'Where are priorities?'
"Last week in cabinet, the premier asked that each department put together good news announcements during polling period," the email reads. "Can you bring your announcement suggestions to cabinet tomorrow?"
"We have children and youth at risk," Aylward said in the House. "We have Islanders struggling with mental health and addictions. We have people struggling to keep a roof over their heads and put food on the table. Where are your priorities at when you're trying to milk some publicity out of programs that vulnerable Islanders need and rely on?"
'Openness and transparency'
Premier Wade MacLauchlan at first appeared to make light of the revelation. MLAs can be heard laughing in the background as the premier suggested it was all part of his government's commitment to openness and transparency.
"Mr. Speaker, yesterday afternoon we tabled emails so that everybody will know that we're doing everything we can to get the message out to Prince Edward Islanders what a great job we're doing," MacLauchlan told the House.
When Aylward said he found it "offensive" to hear the premier make light of the issue, the premier insisted he wasn't joking and continued on the same train of thought.
"This is about openness and transparency," he said. "It's letting Islanders know about the great programs from which they can benefit. It's about letting Islanders know how they can access programs. I'm glad this is brought up because it gives another opportunity for Islanders to know the great work of this government."
The polling firm Corporate Research Associates told CBC News it began calling Island households this week to conduct its quarterly political poll, and will continue calling until around the end of the month.

(Audio): A Museum of One's Own: John Isiah Walton
Sarah Holtz and I met up on bike with John Isiah Walton's studio address on a piece of paper. We rode through the neighborhood as the early summer, late day New Orleans sun made as squint and sweat. When we got to the address on the paper, we sat on the stoop.
Conversations about the confederate monuments coming down, the protests, and the protests against protests allowed us to lose time and simply sit. It wasn't until John came around the corner and said, "Hey, I'm actually around here," that we realized we were on the wrong stoop.
Walton had just moved into his studio a couple of weeks before so as we walked up his stairs he assured us, "It's going to be messy." The door creaked open, we ungracefully carried our bikes into the space, and we saw nothing but paintings everywhere--stacked against each other and leaning against two walls with only a chair, a small table, and a giant easel competing for space. Walton's approximately 9X9 studio houses an innumerable number of thoughts, strokes of different brushes, and paintings hidden below other paintings. Their stories are all in the memory of John Isiah Walton, and with this museum he calls his own, here are the stories he shared with us:
John Isiah Walton's will exhibit his work at the Second Story Gallery. The show entitled, "Doom: How To Survive A Neo Pop Surreal Southern Apocalyptic Terrorism Extinction Level Event - Episode 1," will be presented on May 12. To learn more about John Isiah Walton, you can check out his websiteor follow him on Instagram, and Twitter.
