The goal of the study was to determine the effects of the Flipped Classroom Model on undergraduate Exercise Science majors' basic need satisfaction, motivation, academic performance, and attitudes in a Research Methods course. This session addresses a curricular innovation and its ability to impact student learning. As such it contributes to the advancement of SoTL in this area. An adapted survey, which included the Course Evaluation Questionnaire (Griffin, Coates, McInnis, & James, 2003), the Basic Need Satisfaction in Relationships Scale (La Guardia, Ryan, Couchman, & Deci, 2000), and the Academic Self-Regulation Scale (Ryan & Connell, 1989) was administered to approximately 172 students in two sections of an undergraduate research methods course during the last week of classes in the spring and fall semesters. One section received instruction in a traditional lecture format, while the other received instruction via the Flipped Classroom Model. The session will present comparisons between course sections on all measures, a description of teaching methods and implications for practice. The presenters will conclude by facilitating a discussion about the flipped classroom model in general and the specific teaching strategies used in such a model with attendees.

A 16 year old girl saw a man speaking aggressively and then hitting his girlfriend in the middle of the street. She decided to intervene when she saw his girlfriend bleeding from the ear. The woman just nodded when the girl asked her if she was okay and the man aggressively told her that she was fine. Read what happened next and what did the girl did to help her. Don't forget to share it with as many people as possible to raise awareness about this kind of abuse. Did you think this girl did the right thing when she saw this man hitting his girlfriend?

Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The Scottish international was at fault for Southampton`s goal against Spurs on Boxing Day, and paid the price as a result.
Sullivan was replaced by Kasey Keller for the Villa Park clash and only a last-gasp Juan Pablo Angel penalty denied the American ace a deserved clean sheet.
Hoddle singled out Keller for praise, but had words of sympathy for the deposed Sullivan.
The former England boss said: "Kasey did very well and made some terrific saves.
"It was a difficult decision as Sully has been terrific and, at his best, he is one of the best in the country.
"But outfield players can get rested and it won`t do Sully any harm to assess his performances."
Hoddle meanwhile, denied any knowledge of rumours claiming Lazio officials were set to hold talks with Spurs about a transfer for striker Sergei Rebrov.
The Ukrainian has failed to establish himself at White Hart Lane and is unhappy at failing to cement a first-team place.
Rebrov recently claimed he was the permanent third choice striker, and would consider leaving if he is continually overlooked for selection.
Tabloid speculation has suggested the Roman club were trying to secure a deal, involving Ivan De La Pena, but Hoddle said: "There is no truth in that. We've not had any contact with any of those players or clubs so I don't know where it comes from. You're better off asking agents."

It was 2009 and this was our second trip to Jamaica.
Bob and I love Jamaica and I'd love to show you Jamaica, but unfortunately, we stayed at a nude resort so we don't have too many photos.
Yes…you are reading this correctly,
I was first introduced to this resort by my husband when we were dating. I have always been open to new things but this was beyond O-P-E-N.
I decided to go. It's in my nature to experience new things.
That morning we left Philadelphia with flip-flops, toothbrush and sunblock — and major anxiety.
Jamaica is a quick 3-hour plane ride.
It's just gorgeous!
I love the beautiful beaches, the music, the weather, and the food.
My husband likes the beautiful…people.
Anyway, the resort is NOTHING like you would assume. I thought there were going to be beautiful, tan, fit-bodied people all over the place. In reality everyone was normal, having normal conversations about kids and grocery shopping, with normal bodies!
I instantly felt comfortable and thought, "Well, when in Rome…."
While in Jamaica, we did go off resort and explore. I am not one to do the typical Dunnes River Falls, so we decided on something different.
They actually have a place called Mystic Mountain where you can bobsled!!!
Remember this?
The ride was awesome but the path to get to the top of the mountain was a little scary. They put you in a ski lift and send you straight up the mountain.
No seatbelt. No front harness. Just you, hanging.
We also went zip-lining.
The zip line was through the jungle and the views were breathtaking.
I think it made me forget how scary this really was.
At the end of the 5 days I wanted to stay. I felt like a new woman.
I know this is going to sound weird, but I left with a renewed sense of confidence. Many women have body image issues including me, but in Jamaica I felt free.
I just loved it.
Please don't hesitate to try new things even though they may seem awful, different, or even scary. Jamaica was a great experience for my husband and me. A nude beach is nothing to be scared of. It wasn't even what the website made it out to be. All I saw were normal people with normal lives. Although I am SURE things went on behind the scenes I don't want to know about.
GO and BE NAKED!!

Organic Faith 518 in the Capital Region is one of our newest efforts at outreach with young adults. Though still in its infancy, it is developing as a faith community that welcomes all searchers exploring issues of faith and spirituality within the reality of their everyday lives.
In the group's words, "We are sharing, growing, and creating a supportive faith community that is not predetermined by structure, but shaped by each member's spiritual enlightenment and the radical teachings of Jesus Christ."
A local coffee shop rents Organic Faith 518 space to meet twice a month. This gives privacy but also regular contact with the hustle and bustle of life. The group aspires to do volunteer work and participate in ecumenical worship services elsewhere.

TOWN OF ULSTER, N.Y. -- The Town Board has put off hiring a new police chief after learning a second person is interested in the job, and board members are at odds over whether to interview even more people.
The board's Personnel Committee, which comprises three of the board's five members, voted unanimously earlier this week to recommend Lt. Anthony Cruise be hired as chief. Cruise has been overseeing the department since mid-June, when Chief Matthew Taggard was suspended after being charged with official misconduct. Taggard, who was accused of failing to report sex crimes of which he was aware, retired on Friday.
A vote on appointing Cruise as chief was expected at Thursday's board meeting, but the matter was delayed after Personnel Committee members said their recommendation that only Cruise be considered for the job appeared to have been premature because Trevor Barringer, a sergeant in the town police department, also is interested in becoming chief.
The board did vote, 3-2, in favor of promoting from within the department when appointing a new chief.
Councilwoman Cris Hendrick, who sits on the Personnel Committee, said the� committee had been told incorrectly that Barringer was not interested in becoming chief.
"Hearsay is a bad thing," she said. "... So I went to see him (Barringer), apologized to him, we talked, and I brought it to the table."
Both Cruise and Barringer have been with the town police department for about 20 years.
Town Supervisor James Quigley said on Thursday that he was troubled by the prospect of having only two candidates, and he said the Personnel Committee was charged only with establishing the process for finding candidates, not endorsing one.
"How is it that Mr. Barringer is going to feel he's going to get a fair shot after the Personnel Committee already made a recommendation (to hire Cruise)?" Quigley said.
"If you want what's best for this town, you will consider internal interviews and external candidates for interviews," Quigley said to fellow board members. "That's the bottom line."
Councilman Eric Kitchen said Quigley was unfairly reprimanding board members for recommending the next chief be selected from within the town department.
"This is a democracy," Kitchen said to the supervisor. "You have your opinion, I have my opinion. We can all agree to disagree, but I can't feel like a child who's being yelled at by his father (for) stealing a cookie out of the cookie jar."
Taggard is accused of failing to report sex crimes involving underage victims in neighboring Saugerties, Authorities have said Taggard is not suspected of any such crime himself.�
The misdemeanor criminal case against Taggard, a 22-year veteran of the Ulster Police Department, is still pending.
Taggard was appointed chief in October 2010 and most recently was being paid $88,428 per year, plus benefits.

TCD academic takes top Central Bank job
The Government has appointed a highly-regarded academic with international consulting expertise but little discernible management experience as the new Central Bank governor.
Professor Philip Lane (46) of Dublin's Trinity College will take over from Patrick Honohan, who is set to retire next month. Finance Minister Michael Noonan announced the appointment yesterday after a recruitment drive that attracted more than 100 applicants from home and abroad.
Prof Lane, who holds a PhD in economics from Harvard, has been teaching in Trinity since the late 1990s, where he came from Columbia University in New York.
He has served as an academic consultant to numerous global economic bodies, including the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.
The Department of Finance said Professor Lane has been appointed, with immediate effect, to the Central Bank Commission, to allow for his attendance at both meetings of the European Central Bank and Central Bank Commission. However, although Professor Honohan is due to retire next month, a final date has not yet been set. He remains a member of the ECB's governing council.
Finance Minister Michael Noonan said Prof Lane's "outstanding economic, financial and policy-making record" meant he was the right man for the job.
"Prof Lane was chosen as the Government's nomination to the position of Governor following an extensive national and international executive search process," he said.

Connection process
We're here to make connecting your new home or business to natural gas as smooth and simple as possible. The process can be broken down into four main steps:
Find out if natural gas is available in your areaSearch now
Request a gas connection to your home or businessGet in touch
Find a gas appliance fitter for initial setupSearch now
Browse gas energy retailers to find the energy plan that's right for youSearch now
How gas is connected
Many homes in our network have a gas main in their street. If this is the case, it's a simple process for a specialised team to connect natural gas to your property. The connection runs from the gas main to your property, where a gas outlet service is installed by a gas fitter and then connected to your appliances.
How your gas meter works
Your gas meter is used to accurately measure the volume of gas you use and to safely regulate gas flow. A gas meter reading will then be taken at frequent intervals (generally, every quarter) to ensure accurate billing. Your meter location will be based on a number of factors, and we always consider where you prefer this to be installed in our assessment.
To request a meter position assessment, call our team on 1300 001 001 (contact hours: Mon-Fri, 8am-5pm AEST) or contact us.

Unfortunately the president of the United States has recently and in the past said so many ridiculous, inarticulate and nonsensical things in person and via Twitter ("As far as the cyber, I agree to parts of what Secretary Clinton said. We should be better than anybody else, and perhaps we're not. I don't think anybody knows that it was Russia that broke into the DNC... It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, OK?", "Jeb Bush has to like the Mexican illegals because of his wife.", "I know more about ISIS than the generals do. Believe me." "I'm speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I've said a lot of things.") that it is difficult to dismiss as untrue any outlandish quote attributed to him.
So reports last week that at one time he told his staff he wants female employees to "dress like women" are not unbelievable. Someone could tell me that POTUS yelled at his socks for being too tight and I would not flinch.
Nevertheless POTUS's purported edict got me, along with the rest of modern America on the web and social media, wondering what exactly does a woman dress like today?
Does a proper woman wear a hijab as Ibtihaj Muhammad did when she won an Olympic medal in fencing for the United States?
Or does she wear an astronaut's flight suit as did physicist Sally Ride when she became the first American woman to fly into space (though she was following in the footsteps of cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova and Svetlana Savitskaya)?
Does the properly dressed woman wear a sports bra as does UFC champion Amanda Nuñes when she is delivering a beat down of an opponent in the ring (or those of thick headed machos who think they can stand toe-to-toe with her because she is a girl?)
Does a right-looking lady wear a badge and a gun as do two of this county's female police chiefs, San Diego's Shelley Zimmerman and Chula Vista's Roxana Kennedy?
Or maybe the appropriate attire for the ladies are the heels favored by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez as she writes legislation seeking equality for farm workers and working class parents; or the earrings worn by National City council women Alejandra Sotelo Solis and Mona Rios as they (unsuccessfully) push their male counterparts into passing a symbolic resolution that tells people who live in, work in or visit National City that they have nothing to fear when visiting that hamlet.
Or maybe the appropriate woman's wear is the hospital gown worn by the millions of females who deliver children — a feat not matched by any man, ever — year after year.
It's hard to decide what a woman should wear, other than perhaps a T-shirt that reads: President Trump — and his arcane way of thinking — is a chump and should be dumped.

Those planning family or group gatherings can take advantage of paddlewheel charters aboard the Island Belle sternwheeler this summer.
Evening excursions on the Ohio River for birthday parties, graduations, family reunions, office parties and other events can be scheduled with Blennerhassett Island State Park in Parkersburg. Boat charters begin in May and continue through October.
The Island Belle, Blennerhassett Island State Park's sternwheeler that transports visitors from Point Park in Parkersburg to the island and back, has a 149 passenger capacity. The boat features an open upper deck and an enclosed, climate-controlled lower deck with tables and chairs, countertop with sink and two restrooms.
Charters can be scheduled for a two-, three- or four-hour time period while navigating the Ohio River. Charters are scheduled after Blennerhassett Island operational hours.
"Booking the sternwheeler for an evening permits the organizer to bring food or make arrangements for a caterer," said Matt Baker, park superintendent. "Decorations can be brought aboard to make your event more fun and festive; however, lit candles are not permitted. Groups may incorporate a disc jockey, live band or provide their own CDs."
To plan a paddlewheel party charter, call the park office at 304-420-4800 for information or visit the website www.blennerhassettislandstatepark.com.

At home, I would always find you in front of your sewing machine, inside your mini sari-sari store, squatting down doing the laundry, or busy in the kitchen. Never an idle time except for the designated time for siesta or bedtime.
I can still remember that day after the surgery. From the recovery room, they put me back to my patient bed, all weak and dizzy. You were there. I was motionless, I couldn't open my mouth, I couldn't utter a word, I just could't move at all. Your fingers move to brush my hair and to touch my cheeks. Tears started falling down from my eyes and you wiped then away. I cried because I wanted to say "Thank You" but I couldn't. Even until now, even if I say the words "Thank You and I love you" it will never be enough to let you know how grateful I am for having you as my Mother.
I can still remember that moment back when I was a child, I was asking for something but you were not able to give it to me, so I said, "Ang sama mo!" and then, you asked me, "Masama ba talaga kong ina?"
If only I can go back to that time and take back everything I had said and all the pain I had caused you, I would definitely do so. I regretted that day and all the days and actions I had caused you pain. Nothing I do today will ever suffice for all the sacrifices you've done in the past for me and my siblings.
Two thousand miles away from you every day is torture. I can't hug you. I can't kiss you. I can't sleep beside you. All I can say is "Labyu.Labyu." That will never be enough. No words can ever be enough.
But I want you to know that whatever good of a person I am today, I owe a piece of it to you. To you and to Papa. How blessed I am for having such Godly parents.
Blessed. What a wonderful word to describe myself.
Blessed because I have such an amazing Mom just like you.
Blessing, what a wonderful adjective to use for you, Mama.
You are a Blessing.
With you as my Mom, every day is a Blessed Day.
Happy Mother's Day Mama!

Announcing Winter in the Pub LP – out December 9
Watch and Share the Video for
"Warren City Christmas" below
"It's still steeped in the traditions of The Wedding Present, The Smiths, and the classic Sarah Records catalog, but listeners get the feel that singer-guitarist and primary songwriter Gregg Dolan isn't afraid to break with pop traditions." – The AV Club
"Looking for holiday music that won't ruin your indie cred?…Kissing Party has maintained a holiday music tradition that leaves everyone's integrity intact" – Denver Post
"The music, which isn't too far removed from the Party's usual winsome, sometimes melancholy pop confection, has church bells, strings and sleigh bells to give it the right holiday-season sonic trappings." – Westword
For every holiday season since 2011, Denver's "slop pop" lords Kissing Party have released an original anti-hero Christmas carol, and 2016 is no exception. The band returns this year with "Warren City Christmas", which also serves as the lead in to a compilation of all past singles and a few new ones as well, titled Winter in the Pub. The full album will be released via all DSPs this December 9.
Watch "Warren City Christmas"
Imagine Charles Dickens venturing into the "slop pop" genre to create a full album – think melancholia you can dance to. With origins and inspirations from the gray bleakness of Pennsylvania and Ohio in the winter months, Kissing Party serves up boozy ballads about memories in Midwestern basements, jingling and rebellious carols for drunken gutter punks, mini pop symphonies contemplating the overwhelming grayness of the season, and heartbreaks and hangovers. Winter in the Pub is more an ode to the month of depression in December than a direct reference.
When you're ready to move past the typical cheer and uninspired cover collections this December, when the awkward nostalgia of being in your hometown starts to sink in, Kissing Party has got your back. Winter in the Pub will be available December 9, and the brand new video for "Warren City Christmas" is here to get you in the spirit.
Kissing Party is: Gregg Dolan, Deirdre Sage, Shane Reid, Joe Hansen, Lee Evans
Winter in the Pub Release Show:
Denver, CO – Skylark Lounge – Dec 17

C&P's Guide to Independence Day
It's almost that time. Whether you're in the US or abroad, Independence Day on July 4th is the perfect excuse to throw a party and indulge in things all-American. For Chinti and Parker, American luxury basics were part of the inspiration for our brand, so we make a point to embrace the holiday - meaning BBQ, baked goods (IE key lime pie, apple pie), and a bit of bourbon to celebrate our across-the-pond neighbours. Here are some other ways to join in on the festivities.
If you're stateside, we imagine you have plenty of options - here are the best events in London and other international cities.
GOAT Chelsea Independence Day Party
This lofty, upscale Chelsea pub will be spinning American tunes and making brownies. Make sure to book.

5 rue Daunou, 75002
For an upscale July 4 celebration, Ralph Lauren's Saint-Germain boutique and fine dining restaurant doles out a really good burger and the best California wines.
173 Boulevard Saint-Germain, 75006

Nutri Advanced Cal-Mag-Citrate 90 Capsules
Cal-Mag-Citrate contains calcium and magnesium in a 1:1 ratio, in the bioavailable citrate and malate forms. Calcium and magnesium both contribute to bone health, muscle function and energy metabolism.
Many people take calcium on its own, but it's important to balance calcium with magnesium for good bone health - and it's actually more common to be deficient in magnesium than calcium. This is why combinations of the two minerals such as Nutri's Cal-Mag-Citrate are a good choice. We also like the fact that this product is in an easy-to-swallow capsule rather than a big tablet!
|Nutrient per 1 Capsule
|Calcium (citrate and malate)
|90 mg
|Magnesium (citrate)
|90 mg
|Encapsulated with: Ascorbyl palmitate, Gelatin, Rice powder, Silica
Take 2 capsules two to four times daily with food, or as directed
If pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any kind of medication or have a medical condition, consult a healthcare practitioner before using this product.

On Tuesday 20th October, in the exclusive Sky Bar atop Grange St. Paul's Hotel, the Spanish Chamber of Commerce welcomed Grange Hotels as new Patrons to an audience of 120 members.
The networking evening was Spanish-themed, with Arte Ibérico providing the cold meats and another Chamber Patron, Bodegas Codorníu, providing the wine. The London weather did not disappoint, as attendees were able to enjoy spectacular eye-level views over the architecturally impressive St Paul's Cathedral from the outdoor roof terrace – certainly a photo opportunity, which many of the guests indulged in.
The Sky Bar view of St Paul's Cathedral
The evening began with Igor Urra, the Spanish Chamber's Secretary General, warmly welcoming his members to the event at our flagship property.
Igor stated: "The Spanish Chamber of Commerce is always keen on exploring synergies and new avenues of collaboration that can also add value to our members. The partnership we have acquired with Grange Hotels is a great example of this, as one of our main goals lies in the promotion of relations between member companies."
Tony Matharu – Managing Director, Grange Hotels
Tony Matharu, Managing Director of Grange Hotels, then took the stage to speak about the group's involvement within this sector, emphasising the value of "establishing long-term relationships" - something Grange Hotels takes great pride in.
The Spanish Chamber was founded in London in December 1886, with the object of furthering the economic and commercial relations between Spain and Great Britain. Through our global representation company, Global Hospitality Services (GHS), we hope to provide another platform for member companies and individuals to continue forging a strong relationship between the two countries.

Harry Longstreet
Jump to
Harry Longstreet was a triple-threat producer, writer, and director who worked primarily from the late 1970s through the late 1990s. Working almost exclusively in television, Longstreet got his start writing for TV series and made for television movies. On the short-lived science fiction adventure series "Voyagers!", he made the jump to producer while also penning several episodes. Further brief writing and/or production gigs would come his way before he got the longest-tenured job of his career: the television adaptation of the hit film "Fame". Not only did he serve as an executive producer for the show from 1986 through 1987 (for 24 episodes total), he also wrote for the series, and earned his first directorial credit for a pair of episodes. In 1990, Longstreet was nominated for a Humanitas Prize for his work on an episode of "CBS Schoolbreak Special" entitled "Frog Girl: The Jenifer Graham Story." During this era, Longstreet also worked on such renowned fantasy programs as the fantasy/police drama hybrid "Alien Nation" and "The X-Files". His last credit was as writer for the 1997 TV movie "Alien Nation: The Udara Legacy".

Who would have thought that in 1952, a local "bathing beauty" competition spearheaded by Catalina Swimwear in Long Beach, CA would transform into an international annual tradition with countless young women around the world vying to become a part of Miss Universe history? As millions of fans have watched around the globe, the contest has evolved into a powerful, year-round, international organization that advances and supports opportunities for these young women.
These women are savvy, goal-oriented and aware. The delegates who become part of the Miss Universe Organization display those characteristics in their everyday lives, both as individuals, who compete with hope of advancing their careers, personal and humanitarian goals, and as women who seek to improve the lives of others.
Uzuri International Is New Miss Universe Jamaica Franchise Owner
Uzuri International is honoured and extremely pleased to announce their acquisition of the Miss Universe Franchise for Jamaica, heralding a new beginning for the Miss Universe Jamaica pageant with innovations in the contestant recruitment process, contestant training, management of the winner of Miss Universe Jamaica represents her country at Miss Universe. On occasion, when the winner does not qualify (due to age and other factors) a runner up is sent and the production of the annual coronation showcase.
In addition to securing the usual partnerships to effectively execute the Miss Universe Jamaica pageant, prepare and manage the title holder for local and international representation, Uzuri International also plans to develop, expose and partner with young and emerging fashion design, costume design and entertainment talent and showcase these talents as an integral component of the pageant. Uzuri International will align the local pageant with its international counterpart, showcasing the prestige, glamour and professionalism usually associated with the Miss Universe Organization and will elevate the pageant to a level where Jamaicans have a greater appreciation for Miss Universe Jamaica, are eager to be stakeholders and rally to extend their full support and be part of what is hoped that they will view as a worthwhile and positive movement. Most importantly, however, Uzuri International will place very strong emphasis on providing the contestants with key skills to equip them for the demands of today's challenging corporate environment, extending valuable benefits to them beyond the immediate competition.
Over the years, Uzuri International has worked very closely with the organizers, contestants and title holders of Miss Universe Jamaica, formerly the Miss Jamaica Universe Pageant and had the pleasure to be producers of the 2003 coronation show, where Michelle Lecky emerged winner and went on to represent Jamaica in Panama. That coronation showcase is still talked about in beauty and fashion circles as one of the most exciting. Also to Uzuri International's production credit are – the annual Carnival Calabar Queen pageant and Destiny's Child Charity Fashion show – both international events held annually in Calabar, Nigeria and for which they execute producer's duties under the A fashion Affair brand based in Atlanta, Georgia.
"We are ecstatic that the Miss Universe Organization has shown the confidence in our ability to effectively represent their brand in Jamaica and that they share our vision for the direction of Miss Universe Jamaica, which is quite a big deal, overall, not to mention, a major step in the Uzuri International career portfolio! We are fully cognizant of the tremendous duties and responsibilities that come with this and we are honoured that we are given this additional platform to serve Brand Jamaica and continue to make a positive impact on the development of our young talent here and by extension, the development of Jamaica. We are fully aware that past organizers have had many challenges, so we know that this will not be a 'walk in the park.' In this regard, we want to form new and nontraditional alliances in the pageant industry, alliances to bring beauty factions together, where Jamaica benefits, as this should not be about any one individual, or company. We are also anticipating that the sponsors will be on board with us, as we seek to market and promote their brands with exciting and innovative concepts to engage their clientele and attract new interest in their products and ours. Needless to say, we are extremely excited, rearing and ready to go and fully committed to the related tasks that lie ahead!" Said Karl Williams, National Director for Miss Universe Jamaica and Artistic Director of Uzuri International.

|Projected Ranking
|Proj. Rnd.
04/30/2012 - Buffalo's second-round pick, left tackle Cordy Glenn, has arms that measure nearly 36 inches. Arm length is a critical measuring point in grading tackles, Nix indicated. "Huge wingspan," he said. "You've got a long way to run around him." - The Sports Xchange
04/30/2012 - The Bills needed help at cornerback, left offensive tackle and wide receiver. Their first three picks? A cornerback, a tackle, a wide receiver and all have the potential to make an impact as rookies. The Bills, coming off a 6-10 season and entering their third year of rebuilding under the eyes of general manager Buddy Nix and coach Chan Gailey, are still a land of opportunity for draft picks. First-rounder Stephon Gilmore, labeled the most complete cornerback in the draft, could grab a starting spot from Drayton Florence or Terrence McGee and the door is wide open at left tackle for second-rounder Cordy Glenn. Wide receiver T.J. Graham fills a need for deep speed in the mix of prospects opposite Stevie Johnson, but will need time. BEST PICK: Offensive tackle Cordy Glenn: With the loss of Demetress Bell to the Eagles and with only second-year pro Chris Hairston on board, the large, nimble Glenn should start as a rookie. With any luck, he'll anchor the critical left side job for a decade. - The Sports Xchange
04/27/2012 - OG Cordy Glenn, Georgia -- A nimble 6-6, 345-pounder who played left tackle in the SEC, Glenn projects to guard for some teams but will almost assuredly get a chance to play on the edge in Buffalo.
04/26/2012 - ROB RANG'S TOP 50 PLAYERS OF THE 2012 NFL DRAFT: 17. Cordy Glenn, OG, Georgia: Measuring in at 6-5 and 346 pounds at the Senior Bowl, Glenn nonetheless demonstrated surprising agility in Mobile, boosting his chances at remaining at left tackle. While good outside, he was even better at left guard as a junior and may be best served moving back inside in the NFL. If he played with greater intensity Glenn could rank among the elite offensive line prospects in the 2012 draft. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
04/05/2012 - Several of the Ravens' top decision makers predictably didn't tip their hands at their annual draft luncheon yesterday in Owings Mills. However, as General Manager Ozzie Newsome, Director of Player Personnel Eric DeCosta, Director of College Scouting Joe Hortiz and head coach John Harbaugh took turns answering questions from reporters in Owings Mills, the Ravens had a representative in Madison, Wisconsin, where former Badgers center Peter Konz was working out for teams. The Ravens are also expected to bring Konz to Owings Mills for an official visit ahead of the draft, more proof that the center is definitely on the team's radar for possible selection with the 29th pick on April 29. Asked specifically about the draft's interior offensive line class, DeCosta mentioned Konz along with several others. "I think there are some good players," he said. "Obviously, [David] DeCastro from Stanford is a guy that a lot of teams are looking at as a guard. He's a tough guy, a good player. [Kevin] Zeitler from Wisconsin is another guard - a good player, had a good week at the Senior Bowl. [He] played really well in the game, not as well in the practices. He's a good player. I think his teammate Konz is another good player at center. He's had some injuries. All those guys, you figure they're picked in the latter half of the first round, the early part of the second round. Another guy is Cordy Glenn from Georgia. He's played some tackle, he's played some guard. He's a swing guy. He'll probably get picked between pick 15 and pick 35, right in that range, too." - Jeff Zrebiec, The Baltimore Sun
04/02/2012 - NFL DRAFT SCOUT TOP OFFENSIVE LINEMEN: Cordy Glenn, Georgia, 6-5, 345...This massive man looked like a natural when he was first thrown into a starting role as a freshman. Glenn went on to tie a school record with 50 total starts, including 28 at left guard, 18 at left tackle and four at right guard. There was even talk about trying him on the defensive line, but it didn't happen. Glenn obliterates defenders on the run and was a very good pass protector in college, certainly a factor in Georgia finishing third in the SEC with an average of 413 yards of offense per game. Glenn appears most natural at guard, but was used at left tackle last season and in Senior Bowl workouts. He lacks an explosive first step -- perhaps quantified by a 23??-inch vertical jump that was third-worst at the combine -- so he will probably play inside in the NFL. He has all the strength you would expect of a man his size and then some, but somehow manages good enough footwork to be efficient much of the time as a pass blocker and can get downfield to pick off second-level defenders, much to the surprise of both scouts and the overwhelmed defenders themselves. - Frank Cooney, The Sports Xchange
02/25/2012 - Georgia's Cordy Glenn weighed in as one of the largest offensive line prospects at the Combine, tipping the scale at 345 pounds. And after his 40-yard dash, he might also be considered one of the most athletic. Glenn ran an unofficial 4.96 in his first 40-yard dash attempt Saturday morning, including a 1.76 yard 10-yard split. Glenn is expected to participate in every drill this week, already lifting 31 times on the bench, an impressive feat for a player with 36" arms. He played most of his collegiate career inside at guard before moving out to left tackle as a senior in 2011. Scouts question whether or not he can protect the blindside at the next level, but Glenn helped answer some of those concerns with a positive week at the Senior Bowl. If he performs well athletically in drills this week, showing NFL scouts he can play outside in the NFL, Glenn's draft stock could jump into the top-20 discussion. Glenn currently ranks as NFLDraftScout.com's No. 2 rated guard. - NFLDraftScout.com
02/23/2012 - NFL DRAFT SCOUT PRE-COMBINE TOP 64: 23. Cordy Glenn, OG, Georgia, 6-6, 346, 1-2...This massive man looked like a natural when he was first thrown into a starting role as a freshman. Glenn went on to tie a school record with 50 total starts, including 28 at left guard, 18 at left tackle and four at right guard. There was even talk about trying him on the defensive line, but it didn't happen. Glenn obliterates defenders on the run and is excellent in pass protection, certainly a factor in Georgia finishing third in the SEC with an average of 413 yards a game. Glenn appears most natural at guard, but was used at left tackle last season and in Senior Bowl workouts. He struggled against speed rushers, so expect him to be inside in the NFL. He has all the strength you would expect of a man his size and then some, but it his footwork on pass blocking and ability to get downfield to pick off second level defenders that is a surprise, both to scouts and the overwhelmed defenders themselves. - Frank Cooney - The Sports Xchange, NFL Draft Scout
02/16/2012 - The consensus appears to be that Glenn is foremost an NFL guard prospect, rather than tackle, but there are still a few personnel people who want to look closer at tape of Glenn at left tackle in '11, and evaluate him there before making any decisions about his NFL position. That's the case, even though Glenn seemed to struggle at times during the season with SEC speed-rushers, and also stumbled a bit in the Senior Bowl practices. Said one AFC area scout, in discussing Glenn with The Sports Xchange: "We're definitely leaning [to guard], but we want to be really sure, and take another look." On the official combine invitee list, Glenn is listed as an "OT" prospect, but clubs will regard him at tackle and guard spots at Indianapolis later this month. One team even said that it might, at Indy and in Glenn's workout during his pro day, take a look at him in a few center-specific drills, even though he never played there while in Athens. Two other teams mentioned Glenn as a possible right tackle prospect. "It really doesn't matter to me," Glenn said. "I just want to play." Probably, the former Bulldogs' standout isn't among the top four tackle prospects in the draft, arguably Matt Kalil (Southern Cal), Riley Reiff (Iowa), Jonathan Martin (Stanford) and Michael Adams (Ohio State). - Len Pasquarelli, The Sports Xchange
02/16/2012 - The top guard perch is likely held by Martin's teammate at Stanford, David DeCastro. But that still doesn't mean that Glenn, who measured 6-feet-5 1/2 and 346 pounds at the Senior Bowl, won't be a coveted player in the first round. There are still some teams -- Pittsburgh, New England, and the New York Giants come to mind as a few -- who highly value offensive line versatility. The Steelers, for instance, practice players at multiple positions during the week, and offensive line coach Sean Kugler has placed a high priority in position flexibility during his two seasons with the franchise. The emphasis on diversity has paid off for Kugler and Pittsburgh because of injuries. During his college career, Glenn has started 28 games at left guard, 18 at left tackle, and four at right guard. His 50 starts tied former teammate Clint Boling, a fourth-round pick of Cincinnati in 2010, for the most by an offensive lineman in Georgia history, and are tied for the third-most ever in the program. Glenn may not have the feet to play left tackle at the NFL level but, if he keeps his weight under control and does well at the combine and in private workouts, it's hard not to see how his power, drive, and tenaciousness will keep him out of the first round. - Len Pasquarelli, The Sports Xchange
02/16/2012 - Versatility can be invaluable for draft prospects, but in the age of specialization, many teams adhere to the "Kentucky Fried Chicken" Rule: Do one thing, and do it well. There are, however, franchises that admire players who are able to fill a variety of roles. Witness the New England Patriots, who chose former Kent State quarterback Julian Edelman as a wide receiver in 2009, and have used him in various spots in his three seasons, including as a safety in 2011. The versatility of Georgia offensive lineman Cordy Glenn, who has played every position but center in his Bulldogs' tenure and has been a starter at both guard spots and left tackle, is one of the elements of his game that will be both scrutinized and debated in the next couple months. "I [prefer] to think it's a strength," said Glenn, a blocking Bedouin, who started all of 2011 at left tackle, and who worked at that position in Senior Bowl practices. "I can really help [teams] wherever they need it on the line." Glenn, 22, is a man of few words, particularly when speaking about himself. He prefers, he acknowledged, to "let [his] play speak." It has spoken volumes, since most scouts regard him as a first-round selection. But scouts will probably also devote considerable verbiage before the draft to determining at what position Glenn will be the best fit in the league. - Len Pasquarelli, The Sports Xchange
01/04/2012 - 2012 SENIOR BOWL INVITE: Glenn was a third team AP All-American in 2011 and first team All-SEC pick by both the AP and league coaches. The left tackle anchored an offensive line that ranked third in the SEC in total offense this year, averaging 413.85 yards per game. Glenn currently ranks second all-time in school history in starts for an offensive lineman with 49. His next start against Michigan State will tie him with former Senior Bowler Clint Boling for the school mark for offensive linemen. The 2012 Senior Bowl will be a homecoming of sorts for Jones. The Centreville, Alabama native landed on both the AP and Coaches All-SEC second teams in 2011. He was also a finalist for the Rimington Trophy, given annually to the best center in the nation and was named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week twice this season. Jones was named to UGA's Team of the Decade and has made 48 career starts, ranking third all-time in school history for an offensive lineman. - SeniorBowl.com
12/07/2011 - 2011 ALL-SEC FOOTBALL FIRST TEAM (COACHES): OL - Cordy Glenn, Georgia, has been selected All-SEC Conference First Team for the 2011 college football season as voted upon by the SEC head coaches. Glenn, a 6-5, 348-pound native of Riverdale, Ga., leads the team with 49 career starts (third all-time in UGA history for non-kickers), including the last 46 contests. He was named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week following the Bulldogs' 24-20 win over Florida and has helped sophomore quarterback Aaron Murray stand at the No. 2 spot in the conference in both total offense (229.6 ypg.) and passing yards per game (220.1) this season. - Georgia football
12/07/2011 - 2011 ASSOCIATED PRESS ALL-SEC FOOTBALL FIRST TEAM: OL - Cordy Glenn, Georgia, Sr., has been selected All-SEC Conference First Team for the 2011 college football season as voted on by The Associated Press. Glenn, a 6-5, 348-pound native of Riverdale, Ga., leads the team with 49 career starts (third all-time in UGA history for non-kickers), including the last 46 contests. He was named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week following the Bulldogs' 24-20 win over Florida and has helped sophomore quarterback Aaron Murray stand at the No. 2 spot in the conference in both total offense (229.6 ypg.) and passing yards per game (220.1) this season. - Georgia football
10/31/2011 - WEEK 9 SEC OFFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THE WEEK: Cordy Glenn, Tackle, Georgia, graded out at 82 percent with three intimidation blocks during Georgia's 24-20 win over Florida...Glenn helped anchor an offense that racked up 185 yards on the ground and 354 total yards during the Bulldogs' sixth win in a row...He was instrumental in giving quarterback Aaron Murray time as Georgia bounced back from being down 17-3 early in the game as the Bulldogs were 3-for-3 on fourth down conversions...Glenn served as a captain for the second straight game for the Bulldogs. - SEC football
09/10/2011 - ROB RANG'S WEEK 2 FIVE PROSPECTS TO WATCH: OT/OG Cordy Glenn, Georgia: A dominant guard throughout much of his career with the Bulldogs, Glenn was asked to move outside to left tackle against an experienced and athletic Boise State defensive front last week and not surprisingly struggled. At 6-5, 345 pounds, Glenn may simply lack the quick feet and balance to remain outside. As I pointed out in my "Big Board," however, I am not willing to move him out of my Top 32 after one poor performance. As good as the Boise front four was, Glenn and the Bulldogs are in for an even tougher test tomorrow against South Carolina's pass rushers. The Gamecocks boast two of the better rushers in the conference in senior Melvin Ingram and rising junior Devin Taylor, who also has a place on my Top 32. I'm looking forward to all of this weekend's games, but from a scouting standpoint, this is the one to focus on. This game begins at 4:30 ET and will be televised by ESPN. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
09/09/2011 - WEEK 2, FIVE MATCHUPS TO WATCH: 1. Georgia LT Cordy Glenn vs. South Carolina DE Jadeveon Clowney...Glenn, who moved from left guard to left tackle this off-season due to a third ACL injury suffered by Trinton Sturdivant in the past four years, faces the country's top freshman on defense in Clowney. So not only does Glenn need to play well to help his team earn the early advantage in the Southeastern Conference's Eastern Division, but NFL scouts will be quite interested in the way he handles such a talented player. Glenn must show the initial quickness and lateral agility to stay with Clowney off the snap, as well as stay in front of him if Georgia's sophomore QB Aaron Murray needs to extend the play. Many bigger linemen can push rushers around the corner with their length, but staying with the block with foot quickness and agility can be difficult for them. Glenn struggled at times with wide speed rushes last week against Boise, but Clowney relies more on length and strength as a pass rusher -- which should play into the 6-5, 350-pound Glenn's hands. If he overextends and bends at the waist throughout tonight's game, allowing Clowney and other defenders access to Murray, then scouts may consider Glenn as a power guard prospect only. - Chad Reuter, NFLDraftScout.com
09/06/2011 - WEEK 1 REWIND: A few highly touted players struggled in season-openers. I'm quite high on the upside of Georgia offensive lineman Cordy Glenn, for example. However, the behemoth Glenn (6-5, 345) struggled with Boise State's speed in his first start at left tackle in nearly two years. While Glenn did start four games at left tackle in 2009, the other 32 starts of his career have come inside at either left (28) or right (four) guard. If Glenn continues to struggle outside, he'll confirm what scouts already suspect - that he best projects inside at the pro level. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
07/19/2011 - 2011 SEC PRESEASON ALL-SEC FIRST TEAM (COACHES): OL Cordy Glenn, Georgia, Sr., has been selected All-SEC Football Preseason First Team for the 2011 college football season as selected by the SEC head football coaches. - SEC football
07/13/2011 - 2011 ROTARY LOMBARDI AWARD PRESEASON WATCH LIST: Cordy Glenn, G/T, Georgia, (Started 36 games at guard over the last 3 years), has been selected to the Rotary Lombardi Award Preseason watch list for the 2011 college football season. Eligibility for the Rotary Lombardi Award is limited to down linemen, end-to-end, either on offense of defense, who set up no farther than 10 yards to the left or right of the ball, and linebackers who set up no father than five yards deep from the line of scrimmage. This is the 42nd year that the Rotary Lombardi Award has named the nation's college lineman of the year. - The Rotary Lombardi Award Committee
07/11/2011 - 2011 OUTLAND TROPHY PRESEASON WATCH LIST: Cordy Glenn, Georgia, OT, has been selected one of 65 players named to Preseason Outland Trophy Watch List for the 2011 college football season. The Outland Trophy goes to the best interior lineman in college football, presented annually since 1946 and is the third oldest award in major college football. Glenn, a preseason All-SEC First Team selection by Phil Steele and Lindy's, was selected to the Pro Football Weekly All-America Team following the 2010 season. He has started every game the last two seasons for the Bulldogs and is expected to man the left tackle spot in 2011. - Georgia football

Pinned Down and Taking Fire: The 40+ Old Timer's Thread
Back on another forum I belonged to my favorite thread became the 40+ thread. Children of the 80's, Reagan, sex kills, 80's music, good times for sure. Open discussion about all things we deal with, spouses, kids (or our adult kids as it may be), jobs, griping about stuff and helping each other out. Generally open minded we became a pretty cool group of regulars who knew exactly what each other were going through in life. And to all the youngsters out there, meaning everyone under 40? GET OFF MY LAWN!!!! GO AWAY!!!
Three Questions:
1. Favorite hazy memories of the 80's
2. Roth or Hagar in VH.
3. What are your thoughts on hummingbirds?
1) Fast Times at Ridgemont high ---or the parties after that movie came out. :)
2) Roth
3) none
1) Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure.
2) Neither.
3) Six of them seasoned to perfection on a skewer with a touch of BBQ sauce and a slice of Italian bread taste...Excellent!
I'll go first, I'm 43, living in N Cali in the Bay Area, I have a kid who's 21 in college, chem major, i've been single for awhile, I'm a water conservationist/irrigation pro so all of the Cali drought folks get yer water efficiency questions answered here. I'm a Clyde who has lost almost 50lbs in the last several months and is almost not a Clyde anymore. I'm on a MTB but hope to upgrade to a good road machine soon. I ride around 200 miles a week and I have the benefit of having Mt Diablo in my backyard which I am just now starting regular climbs on. My views are generally liberal but with a dose of middle-aged pissed off, you will find I am a nut and have an extremely dry and warped sense of humor.
That being said, let the games begin!
You cook them on low heat (doesn't take long) so that the outside is brown and crunchy and the center is cooked perfectly, just like any other bird, but you eat the bird whole! Takes more than a few Humming Bird Kabobs to get full but its really all about the flavor! ;)
50 is the youth of old age. 40's is still a kid. "Get off my lawn".
Shut up ya old geezer! ;)
2. Roth
3. I used to rehab hummingbirds. So there are hummies flying around in the desert that owe their lives to me. Hummies may be stupid, but they are all consciousness and they are aware of everything. They are all gurus. Their brains are too small to have a place for fear. When cornered, a hummie will go to ground and spread its wings out like it is dead and drop it's heartrate, feigning death. Hummies are the best birds in the universe.
I can only post in here until Dec 13th.
I recall being nicknamed The Sink in college. That was right before I got booted for bad grades.
Cool little critters
Last night's ride was the most fun I've had on two wheels in a long time. I typically ride late afternoons in the night with the MS lights. So I get onto the mountain about an hour before they close, pound the Beast up the climb to the Junction Station which is 2K up, thinking the whole time that i'm too late and the ranger is gonna come down and tell me to turn around. I'm practically delirious and seeing things on the way up, it's getting colder as a climb and a light rain starts up, rain felt great and I was warm right up until the moment I stopped the bike. I'm drenched in sweat and rain, thinkin maybe a wetsuit might not be a bad idea next time. I'm pretty sure I could wring out the UA gear. After jawing with the ranger who's laughing at my nuttines for even being there, the plan was to put on some warmer, drier gear and gloves and head down the south side. The park is closed now and what daylight is left is going fast, so I figured screw it and just head down. Oh my GOD IS WAS COLD! about a mile in, I can't feel my hands or my face, it's dark, sprinkling, the road is slick and I'm tear-assing down it at 35MPH, the road was empty so I had it to myself. The Beast is a PITA to pedal uphill but seriously fast going downhill. I noticed that if I stuck my face behind the LEDs mounted on the aerobars, they actually gave off enough heat to warm my face. The one vehicle I did see I passed like a bat out of hell, flashed a chit-eatin grin and gave 'em the Hang-Ten as I flew by. Absolutely exhilarating, scared and giggling like some demented Linda Blair/Exorcist schoolgirl without the pea-soup all the way down.
I want to get to know the Rangers up there so they don't trip when I want to be the last guy on the road coming down after they officially close. I really want to do that again minus the 25 degree windchill and the wet roads.
That's cool you worked with hummingbirds, I do landscaping and I like vector-friendly plants, build it and they will come. Hummingbirds are like the top fuel dragsters of the bird world. I'll be in a yard and dig it when they will come right up to me like two-three feet away and just hover checking me out. Plant for the hummingbirds, bees and butterflies!
So what do you owe the nickname to or do I really want to know?:rolleyes:
1. Every Weird Al response to a Michael Jackson video.
2. Roth
3. they fight a lot
1. Punk shows at the Mabuhay
2. The correct answer is Bad Brains, as always
3. They were funny when tripping...
2. Correct
3. they do?
2. I will admit, however, that after he joined VH, I upped my opinion of Hagar to 'mitigated' a**hole.
3. Yup, hang a feeder, and watch the games...
1)AD&D...get your nerd on
3)Better to burn out than to fade away
1. Headbangers Ball on MTV
2. Roth
3. Oh?
1. Riding in the back seat of a teammate's Datsun 200SX from Wisconsin Dells to Portage to watch Purple Rain in the theater when I was 16. Riding in the back of a pickup truck after the end of season Cross Country team party, freezing my balls off while a Freshman teammate stood up without a shirt on and screamed, "I'm a Viking!" I did a lot of riding in the back of vehicles in HS in the 80s.
2. Roth.
3. No thoughts on hummingbirds.
I remember when UCSB hosted one of if not the largest Rugby tournament in the World.
I especially remember fondly the year the tournament was in the middle of a police strike. Still no trouble as long as you don't consider skinny dipping at the hotel pool trouble.
Oh and the poor guy who streaked the hotel, boy was he deflated when he ran past the pool and everyone stood up.

Last month a release by the Japan Meteorological Agency and a joint release by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration called 2014 the hottest year on record. The United Nations' World Meteorological Organization has now weighed in, saying in a statement today that last year was the warmest year since records have been kept, Chris Mooney reports for The Washington Post.
"That means that nearly every top science agency that has examined this question agrees with the conclusion," Mooney writes. The Hadley Center in Britain said in its release that 2014 temperatures were too close to highs in recent years to accurately call it the hottest year on record.
While WMO only ranks 2014 as the hottest year by a few hundredths of a degree, it also says that 14 of the 15 hottest years have occurred in the 21st century, Mooney writes. WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud said, "The overall warming trend is more important than the ranking of an individual year." (NOAA map)

Knit Mini Skirt
This skirt is really basic, and really easy. You can do it with out the pockets and make it ridiculously fast. I recommend including the pockets though. You will never regret having somewhere to put your ID, or ticket, or Chap Stick, or whatever.
You only need about a yard (or less) of knit fabric. I found this great chevron print on (of course) the clearance table. So this skirt cost me less than 3 bucks to make.
1. Measure your low waist (where your jean usually sit) and measure your hips.
2. Measure the vertical distance between low waist and hips, and then subtract 1"
3. Measure length add 1″
4. Cut 2:
5. Cut 2:
6. Making Pockets.
6a. Pick 1 piece to be front. Cut pockets like so:
6b. Use the front piece, trace waist line, hip line and pocket outline. Now finish out the pocket. This is your outer pocket piece. Cut 2, opposites
6c. Trace front piece of skirt and lower seam of pocket from step 6b. This is your inner pocket piece. Cut 2, opposites
6d. Sew outer pocket piece to skirt. Trim excess seam allowance and turn right side out. Top stitch seam
6e. Sew inner and outer pocket pieces together.
6f. Secure pocket by top stitching:
7. Sew front and back of skirt together
8. Sew waist band pieces together then fold in half.
9. Attach waist band to skirt. I suggest using a lightning bolt or zigzag stitch (or even better, an over-lock machine)
10. Hem and done!
