RHYMERS HA' scored at Kelso in December but couldn't cope with the heavy going when back at the same track last time. He gets another chance here as this doesn't look very competitive. Stanley Bridge is a course and distance winner and is upped 6lb for his recent win at Sedgefield while Flogarose, a multiple winner in the French provinces, failed to complete on her debut for new connections at Musselburgh last month. Endeavor was still well beaten despite finishing in a place on his last couple of starts but Jonny Delta showed a bit more at Warwick last time and Full Speed could also get involved.

|"Landline surveys suffer from an increasing risk of excluding a relevant share of the population. To analyze and correct telephone coverage issues, face-to-face surveys are often used, which contain questions about landline ownership and registration. Others use dual frame approaches and compare results from the landline with another mode. However, such surveys lack information about unobserved sample members. In this article we analyze representation bias using a household survey with a sample drawn from a population register, where landline is used for households with a matched landline, and face-to-face for those without. We distinguish between the different components of nonobservation, including landline undercoverage, non-contact, and non-cooperation, by either incorporating face-to-face sample members or not, and by the fieldwork phases to recruit households and individuals. Our main interest is how biases from each of these components add up to a final representation bias in the responding sample. In addition, we analyze income and deprivation differences by either including face-to-face sample members or not. The strongest representation bias in the telephone sample on the household level is caused by telephone undercoverage. The combined sample suffers much less from representation bias, which mostly stems from noncooperation. In terms of income and deprivation differences, our results show that the face-to-face sample is poorer than the telephone sample and needs to be considered for unbiased estimates. Based on these findings we offer some fieldwork recommendations to help reduce selection bias based on the different reasons for nonobservation." (author's abstract)

Earlier this week, it was reported that Kelsea Ballerini and Taylor Swift might just be working together on new music. The speculation was prompted by a video that Ballerini shared on Snapchat that previewed a new song that featured a voice which sounded much more like Swift's than Ballerini's. The brief video showed a man working on a song. "We didn't know it, thought we could grow it / beautiful for a moment / we were roses, yeah," a woman's voice can be heard singing. Unfortunately the rumor was too good to be true and Kelsea cleared things up with a single tweet: "Y'all! I'm just as excited for some new T Swift jams, but I'm not involved with it!! Roses was a demo of mine. Crazy confusion!" Bummer.

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) released two new devices in its industry-first family of power MOSFETs built on an enhanced process flow with strict manufacturing process controls for implantable medical applications. The devices released are an n- and p-channel 12 V MOSFET in the PowerPAK® SC-70 (SMMA511DJ) and a 20 V dual n-channel MOSFET in the PowerPAK SC75 (SMMB912DK).
The new MOSFETs are distinguished from commercial devices by their high quality and reliability as ensured by enhanced quality control gates for every lot: statistical bin limit (SBL), yield limit (SYL), and part average testing (PAT) controls for wafers and component packages, and homogeneous reliability testing for all wafer lots. The rigorous SMM medical MOSFET process flow also includes an acceptable quality level (AQL) of 0.04 %.
Applications for the new MOSFETs will include load switching in drug delivery systems, defibrillators, pacemakers, hearing aids, and other implantable devices. Their very small package dimensions (2 mm by 2 mm for the SMMA511DJ, 1.6 mm by 1.6 mm for the SMMB912DK) will help save space in miniaturized medical devices, while their ultra-low on-resistance, down to 0.040 Ω, will lower conduction losses and thus maximize battery life.
Key device specifications are presented in the following table:
The growing Vishay Siliconix SMM medical MOSFET family includes n-channel, p-channel, and n- and p-channel pair configurations in various package sizes.
Samples of the SMMA511DJ and SMMB912DK are available now. Production quantities will be available in Q4 2010 with lead times of 16 weeks for large orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery starts at $1.03 per piece in 10,000-piece quantities.
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., a Fortune 1,000 Company listed on the NYSE (VSH), is one of the world's largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors (diodes, MOSFETs, and infrared optoelectronics) and passive electronic components (resistors, inductors, and capacitors). These components are used in virtually all types of electronic devices and equipment, in the industrial, computing, automotive, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, power supplies, and medical markets. Vishay's product innovations, successful acquisition strategy, and "one-stop shop" service have made it a global industry leader.

Either way, I'm so glad you're here because you're going to find the answers you're looking for!
These amazing natural ways to fight a cold are going to help you tremendously when your family is sick!
While I am not a doctor or medical health professional (and am therefore not giving medical advice here), my family of six and I have experimented with these techniques for years.
I've divided this up into two topics:
Amazing Herbs and Essential Oils that Build Immunity
Foods to Eat (and Those to Avoid) When a Cold Strikes
Plus go here for 10 other helpful natural remedies (including our #1 tip for kicking a cold!), awesome essential oil recipes, cooking recipes and a printable document with all of these amazing tips in one place!
When we use these techniques, nine times out of ten we can kick a cold quickly, and avoid the doctor (and the antibiotic route) all together.
We have also had these techniques confirmed by other natural health practitioners we've worked with, and have seen them work for many other families we've shared them with.
And now, I'm so excited to empower your family with these natural ways to kick a cold!

Trager - Cardwell Marriage Circa 1920-1921
Thomas Perrin Cardwell lived in Garvin County for many years.
Circa 1920-1921 he married Nancy/Nannie L. Trager.It is thought they may have married in Garvin County since she had a half brother living in Garvin County (his surname was Cathey).
If anyone reading this message board has access to the marriage index for Garvin County for 1920-1921 would it be possible to check it to see if they were married there and the exact.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

First off, this theme is killer, if you are considering getting it, do it! This one has a lot of new features and extras!
I would love to be able to put a latest tweet in the special header section. So instead of a quote or one-liner, it would dynamically pull the latest tweet of a given account. Any ideas? Thanks!!
I can pass this back to Kriesi as feedback which may be included in an update. Currently there is no way built into the theme to do this but you could modify the header section to add the code (or a widget area and a widget).

Barry Enright was who we thought he was: went 5 2/3, let up 5 runs on 12 hits.
Dillon Gee also was who we thought he was: 6 innings, only 2 earned runs, and had good control (1 walk).
Jason Bay hit a home run which was much needed, and hopefully a sign of things to come (but I'm not holding my breath).
Mets go for the sweep tomorrow afternoon, 1:10 start weather permitting.

|How can I add extra connections to a S7300 PLC?
|In the Siemens S7-series of PLCs a Citect
connection (via the S7NT driver) uses a so called static
connection. The S7-300 has a limited number of static connections
that you can use. The S7-400 does not have this problem.
By default the S7-300 has a limit of 4 static connections, of which 2 are reserved for a PG (programming device) and an OP (operator terminal). So this leaves only 2 connections for Citect. If you have another communication module (a CP) in the PLC rack, another static connection is used for this. This limitation can lead to a situation where you can not connect a redundant Citect I/O server to the PLC, because the S7-300 has run out of static connections it can use.
However you can also use the reserved connections for a PG and an OP for a Citect connection. Normally in COML S7 software you define a 03 03 address for the TSAP address of the PLC. The 01 03 address (normally reserved for a PG) and 02 03 address (normally reserved for a OP) can also be used for a Citect connection. Of course this connection is then no longer available for its designed purpose (PG or OP).
In newer firmware version of the S7300 you have also another method to increase the amount of static connections that are available.
Standard an S7300 allow 4 static and 8 dynamic connections. In the newer firmware versions (>2AF01) you can decrease the amount of dynamic connections, and this adds to the amount of static connections. So from 4/8 you could go to 5 static & 7 dynamic or 6 static & 6 dynamic connections. You set this in the Siemens CPU configuration software, in the so called hardware configurator.

Once I land in Vegas, are there shuttles to the hotel, or will I need to rent the car then? Can anyone recommend any good places to stay, eat, shows to see, etc. You guys are the best!!!!!!!!!!!

elementary, my dear.
I was fortunate enough to tag along with Sabrina Severns, educator, artist, and baker extraordinaire to pump out another $bags workshop at Marvin Garvey elementary in Chicago. And that Miss Severns, boy is she crafty; slinking around a slim time constraint and even slimmer budget, she concocted a new way to make kid friendly moneybag printing screens: using a hybrid cheese cloth/mesh fabric (porous, but sturdy) and embroidery hoops, we were able to make reusable, easy clean up screens (I would say no mess, but them kids can get down!). The results were, I think, were an all around success. Lessons learned: 5th graders freak out at the idea of a "guest artist", a little cardboard and duct tape go a long way as a squeegee, and elementary school toilets are much shorter than I remembered.

New tour offers a taste from Titanic
Belfast's food businesses will be offering some Titanic treats when a culinary walking tour joins the menu of tourist delights in the city.
The five-stop foray into Belfast's Edwardian past will take in the sights, sounds and tastes of establishments from Nick's Warehouse to St George's Market.
The Belfast Bred theatre-tour, which is organised by Belfast City Council, will be led by RMS Titanic chef Barney, played by Fra Gunn, in a sketch written and directed by the Kabosh Theatre Company.
After enjoying sausages and bacon as part of a traditional Ulster Fry at the century-old Sawers Deli, tourists will head to the Mourne Seafood Bar to sample fresh fish from the waters off Northern Ireland's coast, before quenching their thirst at the award-winning John Hewitt bar. Next on the menu is a range of Irish cheeses at Nick's Warehouse in the Cathedral Quarter, followed by a Paddy's pizza - using a base of soda bread - at the Kitchen Bar.
A whizz round St George's Market, accompanied by one of the traders, completes the tour which aims to leave visitors full of food and knowledge of Belfast's historic past.
Sheila Dillon, the Belfast-born presenter of Radio 4's Good Food Progamme, said the tour - which will recreate the menu from the Titanic's ill-fated maiden voyage - would "transform your perception of Belfast".
Kerrie Sweeney, tourism, culture and arts manager with Belfast City Council, said: "We're inviting both local people and visitors to Belfast to get a real taste for the city by joining Barney as he recounts stories of the Edwardian city he knew and discover the world-class food and drink available throughout modern Belfast.
"It's a really fun - and delicious - way to explore our city," she added.
The tour, which runs every Friday and Saturday from April 16 (except May 14 and 15) leaves from Sawers Deli on College Street at 10am and ends in St George's Market at around 12:30pm.
Tickets cost £15 per person and can be booked at the Belfast Welcome Centre.

Unique. That is the word I would use to describe Deborah Ann Davis's novel and her main character. I loved that the main character wasn't some casanova or supremely popular kid. He was a bit geeky and had plenty of problems that stemmed from that. It made him compelling and easy to get behind as a character.

Autism may be linked to obesity during pregnancy
This study mentions that with the typical odds being 1 in 88, obesity in pregnancy increases those odds to 1 in 54. It's shocking that they continue spending money on some of these studies. So far, we've heard that the following things increase the odds of having a kid with Autism:
- living by a freeway
- fluoride in the water
- cell phones
- closely spaced pregnancies
- not breast feeding
- older parents
The National Institutes of Health helped fund this study, by the way. They're the same ones who have only spent 0.6% of it's research budget on Autism related studies.

Parents, protect your babies. Support intactivism. The following list includes blogs, articles, and websites of interest to Intactivists that were published in the past week. This is a running tally of the ones I found interesting.
Network for Church Monitoring: Circumcision Must Go!
An article by Dr George C. Denniston, MD, MPH (Harvard), who is President of Doctors Opposing Circumcision, an international organization seeking to educate about the harms of male infant circumcision. Dr. Denniston describes how male infant circumcision is finally being recognized worldwide for the harm it causes and that it is a violation of the human rights of the child.
The Man in China: My Petition is Back On Line. Please Sign It
The author has posted a petition to Reduce medical participation in Infant Male Circumcision. He rightly points out that there is no medical justification for the unnecessary infant circumcision procedure. He notes that in China, which has a low rate of circumcision, the intact boys and men are healthy and enjoy their foreskins without any significant medical problems.
Men Do Complain: Iris Fudge
Men Do Complain honors Iris Fudge, a retired nurse who supports the efforts to abolish male infant circumcision. Iris has a YouTube video talking about genital integrity, fighting against circumcision, and foreskin restoration. She works with NORM-UK, a group of restoring men who also promote leaving children intact and whole.

Mothering: If you regret being circumcised post here
A thread on the Mothering forum asking the men to tell why they are upset. Several men wrote lengthy posts about how their infant circumcision adversely affected them. The consensus is that the men say that having part of their penis cut off by circumcision cost them a full and complete sex life and the sense of being whole.

A new foreskin restoration blog. This is the first post for the site. He identifies two websites: Restoring Foreskin and the DTR device site. He still needs to work on his site because it would not let me leave a comment. But he is off to a start, which is always good.
Times-Standard: Americans, keep your sons intact
A mother speaks out for genital integrity. That is, she speaks out for keeping baby boys intact and whole, free from circumcision. She points out that girls are protected from genital cutting, but boys are not. In 1996 it became illegal to circumcise girls in the US. She hopes that, soon, boys receive equal protection under the law from unnecessary genital cutting surgery.
strocel.com: The History of Circumcision
A mother decides to leave her son intact. No unnecessary surgery for her son, who was not circumcised. She writes of the various reasons advocated for circumcision in recent history. Circumcision gained popularity during the Victorian period. It was believed that circumcision cured masturbation.

The big news this week is the German opposition to the law permitting child circumcision and the Canadian court upholding the father's assault conviction for circumcising his son at home.
Vox Iz Neias? Germany - Lawmakers Want Circumcision Ban Under 14
The Jewish Press: Fight over Circumcision Dividing German Parliament
A news report of a group of German lawmakers who propose that parents should wait until their son is 14 before allowing him to be circumcised. The proposal comes after a bill permitting child circumcision being promoted to appease religious groups.
The Doctors: Non-Surgical Foreskin Restoration
The television show, The Doctors, featured a segment on foreskin restoration. This forum page provides commentary about the poor treatment given the attempt of many men to correct a condition that was forced upon them, that is, men are undoing their infant circumcision.
The Algemeiner: Circumcision Makes No Sense (And That's Okay)
"Let's be honest with ourselves. Circumcision is crazy." So starts an honest article by a Jew who calls for admitting the truth behind the circumcision ritual. Jewish circumcision is not done for logical reasons. It is done for religious reasons. It is a mistake to justify a religious ritual using secular reasons when those secular reasons make no sense and are not true.
Thoughts I Want to Think: Routine Infant Circumcision - The Facts I Wish I'd Had
She wanted her son to remain whole and intact. He wanted to circumcise his son. The hospital required both parents to consent to the elective surgery. The baby went home intact. The father, holding his newborn son, realized that circumcision was wrong.
Circumcision diaries: Circumcision decision
Restraining an adult and forcing him to be circumcised would be sexual battery and aggravated assault. Do the same to an infant and it is considered parental choice. Huh? Parents do to their children something that would never be done to adults?

Men Do Complain: No prosecutions
Female genital cutting is illegal. But no one has been prosecuted for FGM after the law was passed in 1996 making MGM illegal. Male genital cutting is legal, though. There are differences between male and female genital cutting, but when children are involved, both remove parts of the sex organs of non-consenting individuals.
Joseph4GI: Rabbis Delay NYC's Metzitzah B'Peh Regulations - Meanwhile, in Israel...
New York City rabbis who practice the circumcision ritual with oral suction fight the regulation requiring informed consent from parents. Meanwhile, The Israel Ambulatory Pediatric Association advocates against the circumcision ritual. The Israeli medical group recognizes the medical risk for that particular circumcision ritual.

A report of Intact America's efforts during the 2012 American Academy of Pediatrics Conference in New Orleans, LA. Dozens of demonstrators showed up and were very visible outside the conference hall.
Modern Medicine: Medical professionals to discuss circumcision on Twitter
In an attempt to solicit doctors' opinions on male infant circumcision, two publications sponsored a Twitter event. Circumcision related tweets were to be marked with the #circumchat hashtag. The publications were overwhelmed by the number of tweets from intactivists. As is normally done by doctors and medical groups, the medical publications pretty much ignored the tweets identifying facts related to the risks and harm of male infant circumcision.
Hippies with Babies: The circumcision decision
A mother talks about the reasons she will not circumcise any son she may have. Circumcision is an elective surgery that is unnecessary. Circumcision removes the foreskin, which serves important functions.
Saving our Sons: HBO "Girls" Star, Jemima Kirke, Says NO to Circumcision
Jemima Kirke is expecting her second child. The HBO Girls star says that the child, if a boy, will remain intact because she will not let him be circumcised. Her baby will be protected from the knife.

I was recently asked about the scrotum. A man starting to restore his foreskin noticed that his ball sack was hanging lower and he was concerned about it.
A common side effect of male infant circumcision is too much skin is removed. Men end up with tight erections. That is, when erect, their shaft skin is stretched taut. Because there is not enough skin to accommodate the man's erect length, skin from the scrotum is pulled to help cover the shaft during an erection.
Foreskin restoration expands the skin on the shaft. As more shaft skin grows, less skin needs to be borrowed from the scrotum. Eventually, the scrotum will hang naturally because it is not being pulled up the shaft.
Sometimes, men starting to restore their foreskin notice little progress, even though they are are tugging and tugging. What often happens is that the newly grown skin allows the scrotum to return to its natural position. It is only after the scrotum skin stops being pulled up the shaft that restoring progress is seen. Read more . . .
The featured blog this week is one that is not the typical circumcision related blog:

Legos on the Stairs: Circumcision: a question that should never have been asked
A mother tells the story of her first son's circumcision. It was not good (are they ever?) and she did her research after the boy was cut. But it was too late for him then. When she had her second son, she knew better. She left him whole and intact. She was pleasantly surprised at how much easier it was to care for a baby who was not circumcised.

A new blog and its first post is about the objective of the site, which is "to dig deeper into understanding the damage that circumcision makes on a routinely basis, to create awareness about the need of further research and reevaluation of routine infant circumcision."
The Jerusalem Post: An insight to the Denmark circumcision debate
An examination of how the Dutch view male infant circumcision. Denmark has a secular society and their concern is for the child. They respect the rights of the child to have bodily autonomy. The author of the article points out:
The majority of the voices raised against circumcision have three main points: firstly, the basic human right to an intact body. When there are no medical reasons to perform surgery on a child, any procedure must be considered an assault.
Secondly, research has shown that in societies such Denmark's where good healthcare and high hygiene standards prevail there are hardly any medical benefits from circumcision. When it comes to preventing STD's, for instance, a much more effective approach is the simple use of condoms.
Thirdly, there is the concern that if there are any risks the child may suffer health or sexual consequences from the circumcision immediately after the procedure or perhaps later on in life as an adult, it should be prohibited.

An opinion letter for a newspaper. A registered nurse tells that assisting with circumcisions was the worst experience in her training. From her experience, male infant circumcision is an assault on the baby's body.
Attorneys for the Rights of the Child: Journal of Law and the Public Interest to publish article by ARC's Peter Adler
The article, "Is circumcision legal?" has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Law and the Public Interest at the University of Richmond. The author shows that the facts about circumcision are known and the law is clear. Circumcision is dangerous, harms all boys and men, benefits few, if any, and any benefits can be achieved more easily and effectively without it. Boys, like girls and adults, have an absolute right to genital integrity under the common law, constitutional law, criminal law, tort law, and human rights law.

But first, here is a post I found at Austin Mama: Foreskin and Several Years from Now. This humorous article was written by the wife of a man restoring his foreskin. It was posted on October 11, 2001. I imagine her husband is fully restored by now and she is no longer laughing, but likely screaming from pleasure as he uses his new foreskin.

The Punch: I was circumcised and I want my foreskin back!
A man tells of how he reacted to seeing other boys who were intact and had their whole penis, not circumcised like him. He dismissed foreskin restoration when he first learned of it as a teenager. By the time he was in his mid-twenties he decided to begin foreskin restoration in earnest. He believes that boys should be protected just as we protect girls from genital cutting.

I am running late with reporting my foreskin restoration progress. I had intended to write a 4 year progress report. Yep, four years. I started restoring in August 2008.
My initial progress was fast. Within 18 months my penis was unrecognizable because I had restored so much of my foreskin. I had full flaccid coverage most of the time. With full flaccid coverage I no longer had that irritation of my penis rubbing against my shorts. I had restored the full luster of my glans and inner foreskin remnant such that the mucous membranes were shiny and pink. I also had the gliding motion of the foreskin. The gliding action was a new experience for me and turned out to be the best part of restoring.
My progress slowed after that, mostly on purpose. With full flaccid coverage I had reached a major milestone. I reduced my tugging sessions from one to two hours a day to about 10 to 15 minutes most days. I was happy with my restored foreskin and I was less motivated to get more. Read more . . .
Barrels of Oranges: Foreskin Phobia
The times are changing. Thanks to the Internet, young people are learning about human anatomy instead of hearing all the old wive's tales about sex and body parts. This shift in learning about human anatomy will ultimately prove the death of male infant circumcision. Those growing up in the internet age will know of the value of the foreskin. They will wonder why some want to cut off a healthy body part. They will rebel.
Enlightened Male2000: A Case Against Circumcision
"The foreskin is the most sensitive part of the penis," so says Professor Ryan McAllister. I know that after restoring my foreskin that my penis is, overall, much more sensitive than it was before restoring. I cannot restore all the parts that were amputated, but what I could restore made a big difference. The blog entry has examples of the natural male penis, including the foreskin. NSFW The amputation of the foreskin is not a parental choice. The elective surgery and body modification should be up to the person with the penis being modified. My parents had no right to cut off a valuable part of my penis. I would much prefer to have kept my foreskin instead of being circumcised as a baby.

So yesterday was a little weird-- it was very hard to wait for dinner from about 3:30 on, but I did it with help of some juice and seltzer. I am pretty sure my body released a load of insulin at around 3:30 to cope with my usual after school snack, and when that didn't materialize, my blood sugar went splat. I actually tested it with my dad's glucometer--85 which is fairly splat for a random glucose on a prediabetic person. So my insulin is working, yay for that. Made it through till dinner, and then again around 8:30 or 9 felt distinctly uncomfortable & antsy. Had hot milk with some hot chocolate mix and felt good after that, able to sleep. I'm just used to steady doses of carbs and my body is having to accept being fed three times a day. Also I was very thirsty and peeing all day. Strange.
Things I like:
-- not grazing all morning and feeling like a heifer in a field caught chewing her cud (hopefully a large-eyed, mild, adorable heifer, ok?)
--having to think about food only at meal times, although some thought and effort has to go into making those mealtimes filling and nice
-- not getting gnashed between the gears of "everything is bad."

A fast-moving storm packing winds of 40-50 mph knocked down trees, caused power outages and apparently prompted the collapse of an East Knoxville roof.
East Knoxville appeared to suffer particular damage.
Emergency crews were dispatched around 10:10 p.m. Wednesday on a report of a roof collapse at Positively Living in the area of Fifth Avenue and Winona Street.
According to the Knoxville Fire Department, 27 people were displaced by the collapse. The Red Cross was helping to find them a place to stay
There appeared to be no injuries. Authorities shut a road section so they could respond to the scene.
Thousands were also without power on Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
KUB Outage Map: Click here
Downed trees also were reported in neighborhoods along Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue
The storm began moving across West Knox County about 9 p.m.
By 10 p.m. some 8,900 KUB customers were without power. The number rose to 12,000 about a half hour later.
KUB crews were working to restore outages across a wide area of Knoxville.
High water also was a problem in some parts of the Knoxville area, stranding some cars in flooded areas.
Forecasters had warned throughout the day Wednesday of the potential for tornadoes and damaging storms. Although parts of East Tennessee were under a tornado watch Wednesday night, there were no immediate reports of tornadoes touching down.

IRVING, Texas -- There is this perception that Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett doesn't like to run the ball.
Helping that perception is the fact that the Cowboys ran only 14 times for 61 yards in Sunday's loss to the Green Bay Packers.
The reality is Garrett wants to run the ball, but the team's inconsistency pushes him to do something he loves: pass.
"I just go back to what our objectives are," Garrett said. "Our objectives every week are to be balanced, to run the football and throw the football and do different things within the run game and within the pass game. That's what we're always trying to do. I think we've done a pretty good job of it over the course of the first nine games. It's not perfect. We've got a long way to go."
After the first three weeks of this season, the Cowboys had the best rushing attack in the NFL. They averaged 193.7 yards per game and had 18 runs of 10 yards or longer. Dallas rushed 85 times for 581 yards with five touchdowns and 31 first downs.
But something happened that forced the Cowboys to become unbalanced in their offensive attack. Marion Barber injured his thigh in Week 2, and he won't be 100 percent until December. Felix Jones injured his knee in Week 3 and is playing with a knee brace and a lack of confidence. Tashard Choice is the only healthy back, but the Cowboys have relegated him to third-down duty and the Razorback formation.
In the past six weeks, with two injured running backs, the Cowboys have had 145 rushing attempts for 589 yards, 33 first downs and four touchdowns. Dallas has fallen to eighth in the NFL heading into Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins, who are ranked 24th against the run.
It would seem the Cowboys should run the ball effectively against their NFC East rivals.
"Definitely. You want to run it as much as possible," right guard Leonard Davis said. "Sometimes things happen, and hopefully we're going to run the ball and just be more balanced."
Running backs coach Skip Peete says you can look at the numbers all you want, but defenses are trying to prevent Jones from getting into open spaces, where he excels.
Defenses also are slowing Barber by sending two or three defenders at him when he's running. Barber not only is slowed by his thigh injury but also doesn't have the same burst that he had at the start of the season. Those reasons alone have led to inconsistency in the run game.
Past 10 carries
Yardage gained on the past 10 carries by Dallas Cowboys running backs Marion Barber (in two games) and Felix Jones (three):
The ups and downs for the two lead backs are troublesome. Sometimes poor runs are related to the offensive line's missing a block or not sealing it properly. And now, the offensive line likely will be without right tackle Marc Colombo (ankle surgery, cracked fibula) for the season.
Doug Free will make his first career start at right tackle Sunday. And with Jones and Barber not running at 100 percent, it's not helping build any confidence.
So why isn't Choice getting more carries? The Cowboys insist Jones and Barber are healthy enough to lead the running game. Dallas is stuck with this situation for several reasons. Coach Wade Phillips wants Choice on passing downs over Jones because he's a better blocker and knows his assignments. Barber, who has a fractured thumb, is also somewhat limited in pass protection.
The Cowboys remain in sole possession of first place in the NFC East. But regardless of whom they play in the next six weeks, the running game must re-establish itself before it's too late.
Calvin Watkins covers the Cowboys for ESPNDallas.com. E-mail him at email@example.com.

Earlier in the year I was asked if I planned on doing a holiday gift guide. I took a few days, thought about it, and decided it would be kind of fun.
I was given a few items to review and others are just things that the girls and I liked. Be proud of me, I did not go to Pinterest to look for things of interest. All the photos are photos I borrowed from other sites, with the exception of the items I was sent to review, then I used the stock photos they provided. I have more photos coming later today if the lighting and girls cooperate, stupid cloudy weather.
So this is what we found cool or fun and what we thought you guys might like:
For the little ones:
The Giraffe Rocker from Little Alouette. One of my favorite stores and people on the internet.
Nativity Which in all honesty I want just to be able to put it out each year. I've wanted a Nativity scene for years but this is the only one I've ever wanted to pay money for, I've passed over many sets that were on sale or even in a thrift store.
Imagination Kids had this awesome Wooden Rainbow and http://www.etsy.com/listing/62723270/wood-toy-hedgehog-push-toy-waldorf-eco.
Cheezombie had some really cute amigurumi patterns and a sale.
My friends at Sesame Street have come out with some pretty cute items lately.
They partnered with Robeez (which I learned to love when Bug was born) and Stride Rite and came up with Stride Rite S.T.E.P with Sesame Street®.
Cookie Monster is my favorite but Abby is pretty cute.
If you're looking for apps for your iPad I have a few recommendations.
Elmo Loves ABC's was an app that I was supposed to review on my phone (I didn't realize it was iPad only app, ok) so I passed the app code onto a friend who is a homeschooling mom of 4 1/2. She reviewed it in the apple store, but I can't find the actual review, but this is what she sent to me on on facebook, "Kids are playing it and loving it so far." (My computer is kind of weird with iTunes lately.) Some reviewers say it has a problem with the sound sometimes so I'm hoping Anna will contribute her thoughts in the comments.
Of course I have to recommend Secret Agent Josephine's ABC's, Colors, and Numbers books. They are available in electronic and paperback formats.
We received a copy of Ready, Set, Grover for both the Wii and Nintendo DS.
Suki had a hard time with the Wii version of the game, I think she may have been to close and the Wiimote needed to be recharged, but I liked it. The characters look, sound, and move like you expect them to. You can dance with Elmo or serve up healthy snacks to the other monsters. There were many other mini games but those were the two that Suki really loved the most. I think eventually she'll expand her horizons and try the other parts but for now she'd rather play the parts she already gets.
My favorite part of the game was the fuzzy Grover cover that slides over the Wiimote hiding the buttons that the kids don;t need to use to play.
Luckily a friend let Suki use her DS to try out the DS version of the game. SHE LOVED IT. She tuned to me and said she needed a DS of her own so she could play it more. She said this version was much easier for her to play. Any game that keeps her interest and she isn't crying because she can't read the directions is a win for me. The over-sized Grover stylus helped her maintain control during game play too.
I know many of may be confused, yes Suki is nine, yes this is a preschool game. Suki barely reads at kindergarten level so I usually purchase games that don't require extensive reading. She is improving, slowly, but games that have lots of reading just frustrate her because she doesn't understand what to do next and we aren't always available to read every line to her.
Once Upon a Monster made me wish we had a Xbox 360 with a Kinect, but lucky for you we don't. Find out why later in this post. The kids learn about friendship, sharing and teamwork while playing by themselves or with their friends.
Of course playing with someone else's DS we had to look at them online and see what was what and what they liked.
Amber wants the 3DS in black and Suki wants one in blue. I played with one at the E3expo Summer of 2009 before they added a few changes that I really dig. Being able to turn off or adjust the 3D is great, but even better is the fact that it didn't cause me vertigo like the old Sonic games did when I was growing up.
Amber liked this Fashion Designer game
and the NintenDogs and Cats: French Bulldog.
Suki liked the Golden Retriever.
This is my last Sesame related item. I love it. If I had my own office/sewing room this would be in it. You can find it at Spencers.
Angelina Ballerina Dance with Me Game
If you're looking for clothes this is what they say is it for this season.
Angelina Ballerina™ Books To Bed Pajama & Book Gift Set. (Was available at Totsy, but I don't know if it still is.)
Amber loves the Annoying Orange. My favorite is the Lady Pasta one.
They have an entire line of products to make your kitchen more annoying, er, I mean fun.
Of course Amber really liked the shirts. These were out two top picks. Well, until we received one in the mail.
Wasaaabi! was Amber's first choice. (Available at JC Penney, Shopko, and Rue21.)
I said she needed the 100% annoying. She didn't get the joke.
Of course the shirt we received was perfect. I'll post a photo later today, AFTER she has showered so you can see it. It's a decent quality, but like most screen tees it requires a cami or something underneath unless you like showing off your underthings.
We perused GAP, Old Navy and Zappos and had to stop ourselves after an hour and a half. We did not look at prices. I told her this was a virtual trip where they could have anything they wanted.
Amber loved everything about this outfit.
The Dolman top in professor plummer.
An O-ring belt
Timberland boots.
Lucchese boots.
Justin boots.
We tried looking for gifts for Men. The girls weren't into it. My Dad likes cooking stuff, Tom is never home to use stuff, Shawn likes to shoot stuff. So, I figured a leather wallet was better than a tie.
I found this one in Gregg McDonald's Etsy shop.
If you made it this far tell me where you get your gift ideas for the people on your list who have everything and you could win your own copy (NEW) of Ready, Set, Grover for the Wii or Once Upon a Monster for the Xbox 360 with Kinect.
The contest will remain open until 11:59pm PST on December 3, 2011. I will choose two winners, one for each game, via Random.org.
The contest is open to all my readers, but please keep in mind that I cannot guarantee the games will arrive before Christmas, especially if it's being shopped out of the US.
You can enter up to three times by answering my question, blogging about my awesome ability to waste time online making a guide no one will be interested in, or tweeting/Facebooking it. Leave a comment with a link to your post or tout after you share it.
Please specify which game you are interested in.
No duplicate comments please.

This is Zachariah's castle by the beach, anyone is alowed to come an visit, but a message must told in advance, so they know when to get everything in order for a timely visit..
|2 April 2012, 01:50 AM
(excellent, thank you! I love the name by the way.)

The Founder
ooc:Sorry lovely, I have not been on, so what should we do here?
Anthonie/19/half-demon Toth/too old/Demon of Magic
|3 April 2012, 11:16 PM
Well basically, this is the new home, and anyone is allowed to come here and what not.
|7 April 2012, 03:53 AM
|8 April 2012, 09:57 PM
Zachariah shrugged his shoulder's delicately. "It's okay I sapose. You can go play in the ocean if you want." He said removing his cloat and dropping it on the sandy floor by his feet. Soft words escaping his lips as his hands lifted up slowly, a small spell conjuring. He made small towels and chairs before them, a pair of swiming trunks laying on the floor before the boy
|10 April 2012, 01:25 AM
|10 April 2012, 05:40 PM
Zacharah chuckled at the question. "You go into the water and swim. Or you play in the sand." He explained removing his shirt and pant's quickly putting on the short's as well not bothering to put the shirt on for fear of ruining it. "You are to my liking Anthonie. There is nothing wrong with you. Unless you absoluetely want me to think something is currently wrong with you." He eyed the boy with a mocking smirk only to turn and walk down to the ocean water.His feet stepping into the cold waves.
|11 April 2012, 02:59 AM
|11 April 2012, 09:04 PM
Zachariah laughed at the boy. "No. The ocean is endless. You shouldn't try to touch the bottom. I fear the waves might gather you up and drag you into the ocean with them. Stay close by and don't go in too deep." He called out to the boy as he swam a bit deeper into the water floating alof and staring at the fish that swam around his waist.
|12 April 2012, 12:15 AM
|12 April 2012, 12:46 AM
Zachary stood the staring out at the sea when he was splashed by Anthonie. His eyes widened at the boy then turned. He grabbed the boy and threw him playfully into the air till he landed into the water. "That is for getting me wet with this blasted cold water." He then grabbed a handful of water and threw it at the boy laughing.
|12 April 2012, 01:23 AM
|13 April 2012, 04:13 PM
He shook his head. "It's fine. But the point of a beach is to relax, have fun, AND get wet.I personally wanted to stare out at the scene then get wet." He said swimming after the Anthonie, diving under the waves each time it happened to roll over.

I'm back in my hometown of Lexington looking at colleges all over the East Coast. My relatives are reluctant to let me go, but I (luckily!) have a "free day" on Wednesday - sadly, this will only probably be breakfast, lunch, no dinner. (But please feel free to include bakeries/sweet/ice cream places! I am allowing myself to totally pig out here!)
My plan is to bike into the city and take the T to two Chowhound favorites. What are your recs?
(P.S. Being back where I grew up, I've already covered the nostalgia bases. Pizza at Bertuccis, honey cake at Alouette, Wilson Farms, Rancatores ice cream...some better than others, but all childhood staples. I want to try the new Boston, what the up-and-coming food scene is like on the East Coast. Another minor concern - I don't eat mammals (no pork, beef, lamb, horse, human, etc.), but all other creatures are fine (birds, fish, crustaceans, bugs, reptiles...).
Thank you all!!!!

Wessex FM News
WW1 Exhibition In Bridport
8:11am 9th August 2014
Bridport Town Hall is hosting a free, walk-through exhibition to commemorate the centenary of World War One.
'Keep the Home Fires Burning' will run from today until August 25th - with a look at the homes the soldiers left behind, and the contrasting conditions in a trench.
Wessex FM spoke to Jane Ferentzi-Sheppard from the Bridport Heritage Forum who says Bridport had a key involvement in WW1.
"Many of the men were in restricted industries, but they still volunteered to go and fight. We've also realised that the ladies were involved with making camouflage netting and also then submarine netting which was a special contract, a secret contract, that was introduced at the beginning of 1915."
Jane says that due to Bridport's rich rope and net making heritage the town didn't suffer economically during the war, "As soon as war breaks out Bridport always does very well, so the four years of the War saw Bridport booming."

The employees at Topeak are cyclists too. And they enjoy the fact that their products and accessories contribute to escaping the pressures and stress of everyday life.

Boston MarathonConsider this page your "one-stop-shop" for information pertaining to club participation in the Boston Marathon. The next running of the Boston Marathon will take place on Monday, April 17, 2017.
Boston Marathon Member Profiles
Meet the Wicked members who will be representing the club from Hopkinton to Boston on Marathon Monday!
Allison Rickenbach says:
It's hard for me to pick one favorite race because there are so many races that stand out in my memory, all for different reasons. That said, my favorite marathon was definitely the 2012 Maine Marathon. I ran my marathon PR there, despite terrible weather conditions, and ran it with a great group of Wicked friends (Dawn Cobak, Sarah Carrier, Alison Phelan, and Nicolle Quinn). We trained together and raced together…the camaraderie was amazing.That camaraderie is exactly what I am looking forward to the most now that I have begun training for Boston. This is the first marathon I have trained for since having a baby, so I am eager to reconnect with my former training partners, particularly for my long runs. Marathon training is all-consuming; it's almost as if you are taking on an entirely new identity. To have other people to run with, support me, cry with me when the pain starts (HA!), is not only necessary but it's the best part of marathon training to me.
Kim Muse says:
I am SO excited for this opportunity! It's funny because I crossed the finish line of my first half marathon in 2013 and said "I will NEVER run a full marathon." Apparently I'm easily persuaded, because Boston will be my 5th marathon!Chicago has to be my favorite marathon because it was my first and is the race that got me hooked. The entire experience from training to finish line was extremely positive. The crowds, thousands of other runners and entire vibe the city had during the weekend was amazing! I know Boston will be a similar experience!I'm planning to run the Black Cat 20 miler and Eastern States 20 miler as part of my training for Boston. I've run both in the past, and they are a BLAST! I'm most looking forward to sharing those long runs with hundreds of other runners, and hope to see some Wicked runners out there too! I also have my fingers crossed that this winter treats us well so I can get out on the roads as much as possible and not spend too much quality time with my treadmill!
Boston Marathon Bus Transportation from the North Shore
Once again, the North Shore Striders will provide transportation for runners officially registered for the Boston Marathon. Two spacious 54-person restroom-equipped buses will deliver marathoners from the North Shore directly to Hopkinton on Monday, April 17, 2017. Please read the bus descriptions carefully as there are important differences. Runners in waves 1 or 2 MUST be on Bus #1.
To reserve your seat on the bus that is right for you go to: https://www.northshorestriders.com/boston-marathon-buses-2017
Full details including pick-up locations and timing are here.
Boston Marathon Mile 17 Gel Stop Opportunity
Each year, the Wicked Running Club is tasked with providing 50 volunteers to hand out gels at the Clif Gel Stop at Mile 17. The approximate time of volunteer duty is 8:15 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. due to road closures. Volunteers must be prepared to commit to a variety of weather conditions and be able to lift 25 pounds. Duties include passing gels to runners, setup and breakdown of the stop, and minor crowd control.
Volunteer registration opened on January 4, 2017. An email was sent to current Wicked members with details and information. A limited amount of volunteer space is available. Volunteers must be current Wicked members and available for the full volunteer shift. After registration is open for two weeks to Wicked members, the board will consider opening registration to friends and family of Wicked members.
Your contact for questions is Valerie Mathews.
Boston Marathon Invitational Numbers for Wicked
The Wicked Running Club has received two invitational numbers from the Boston Athletic Association since 2012. The application for interested runners will be posted in October 2016.
Eligible candidates must be active and paid Wicked Running Club members. Application criteria is based upon volunteer service to the club, participation in club events, and participation in club relays and the Wicked Grand Prix Series.
Runners will be selected at the December Board of Directors meeting and announced soon after.

You can work with one of our Foster and Family Placement Directors to undergo screening and homecheck, then be placed on our waiting list. We can contact you when a dog meeting your criteria comes into the program.
You may also want to consider the Foster to Adopt program, where you foster a dog for a minimum of 30 days as a "test run" to see if that dog is a fit. Our Foster to Adopt program is a great option for those unsure about dog ownership and looking for a "trial period" before signing adoption paperwork. Working through HugABull, you can be matched with a dog in the shelter system and commit to caring for them during the 30-day foster period.
If you find that dog is a fit to your home, you are first in line to adopt and make them a permanent family member. And if you aren't ready for the commitment, the dog is put up for adoption, and we only ask that you care for the dog until another home is found.
Foster to Adopt does not generally apply to dogs who have already completed their 30-day foster period, and all terms and conditions of the HugABull foster care programs apply during the initial 30 days.
