They are in pixels.|||it all depends upon how many pixels per inch your monitor or screen is. Depending upon screen size there are llots more cause I use 1680x1050 on a 20" widescreen.

Spice Jet on Friday denied reports of any emergency landing by its flight SG 136 (Bangalore – Delhi) at the Delhi airport today morning.
SpiceJet said it informed the Air Traffic Control (ATC) of a technical snag after which the aircraft made an uneventful landing at the Delhi airport.
The Flight had 176 persons and all were safe. "As per procedure the crew of SG 136 had informed the ATC of a technical problem. At no stage did the crew request for any emergency or priority landing. All passengers and crew are safe. The ATC was kept in the loop by the crew all throughout," the airlines said in a media statement.

Last year, Facebook extended the conference to two days and launched its bot platform for Messenger, showed off virtual reality, pushed deeper into live video and rolled out a 360-degree video camera, the report said.
Facebook today announced it will launch an augmented reality developer platform that will change the way we use our phones. Of course, it could also result in people staring into their smartphones even more intently as they marvel at an alternate reality instead of their actual surroundings. However, he hinted that Facebook will release some kind of glasses or headset: "Over time I think this is going to be a really important technology".
Facebook Spaces lets Rift users "hang out" with friends in virtual worlds as if they were in the same room in the real world, according to a demonstration by Rachel Franklin, who heads the social VR team at the California-based firm. This could include some new AR related projects as well as upgrades to its 360 degree camera. It will allow them to create and design frames that can be used as part of a Facebook profile picture or, more importantly, in the new Facebook camera app.
Snap representatives did not immediately respond to an email for comment on Tuesday afternoon.
"Some of these effects are going to be fun, and others are going to be useful", he said.
[Image: Facebook] These science fictions are becoming reality thanks to Facebook.
Mark Zuckerberg cares about a few things: his family (including his dog Beast), live video and VR, and destroying Snapchat.
Facebook is planning to tap into augmented reality technology popularised by the hit smartphone game Pokemon Go. Facebook wants to add AR gaming to its apps, like turning a regular table into an AR battleground, and even AR art, like changing a blank wall into a huge 3D, animated piece of street art. They're like Facebook Groups for developers, helping connect people living in the same area and offering educational options like special classes from Udacity. The idea is simplify what might otherwise require a flurry of texts and sharing of links.
Meanwhile, Facebook came under sharp criticism this week after a Cleveland man uploaded a video of him murdering Robert Godwin. That raised questions about the company's ability to monitor gruesome material on its site.
Facebook CEO Mark ZuckerbergFacebookOver the weekend, Snapchat found itself in a full-blown PR crisis after CEO Evan Spiegel was accused of saying that the app was "only for rich people" and that he didn't "want to expand into poor countries like India and Spain".

Welcome to the site where people help people.
When I heard that my home town was planning a year 2000 all-class reunion, I put up a site with the latest information concerning it. Then I added a guest list page so that people could get in touch with each other. From the size of the list, to number of emails I received, thanking me for the site and telling me how they contacted old friends, I knew I had done a service. They are still using the site today. The reunion was a success and they are planning one for 2003.
I've always had a Guest Book on my site, but never thought of it as a way to find old friends. I know there are many sites for classmates or service people, but most of them charge a fee. There are no fees. I have things for sale on my site, if you buy something someday, that is payment enough. Donations are gratefully accepted.
The guest
book is called "THE PEOPLE LIST". Fill out the SUBMISSION
FORM on these pages and if your email address is valid, your name will be
added with the following information: Your Name, email address, High
School, College, Branch of Service and your unit.
These pages are designed to help find friends,
ideas or items.

"Better Connected" is an annual survey of council websites run by the Society of IT Managers (Socitm). Socitm published the 2015-2016 results at the end of May.
For 2015-2016, Wycombe DC scored 2 stars out of 4.
You can read the headline results at Better Connected.
The score reflects the old website which delivered a very poor mobile experience. We scored 1 star in 2015 with much the same design, navigation and content.
Better Connected uses a series of pre-selected common tasks with high customer demand. The Socitm reviewer grades the services based upon how easy it is to find and complete the task.
For 2015-2016, the tasks and our scores were:
- Object to a planning application: 1 star
- Report missed bin: 1 stars
- Pay Council Tax: 4 stars
- Register a food business: 3 stars
- Navigation, Search, A-Z: 4 stars
- Usability from mobile device: 0 stars (not reviewed, no mobile site)
- Access for people with disabilities: 2 (pass)
Better Connected reflects the view of one reviewer though the scores are cross-checked. The BC reviewer comments help us in our ongoing review. We've also carried out our own user testing programme and we are planning a regular ongoing testing programme to improve our site.
We strive to make our work evidence based. So, all input is helpful.

Our Reviews
3.8 on a 4 point scale:
Very interactive and enjoyable. We had many questions so the format was perfect for this as it allowed us to speak freely
Daniel was professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Very informative and I enjoyed the two-day training class.
The story map was a new concept I learned from the class. Will be a valuable takeaway. I feel our development teams would also enjoy this training.
Very helpful and I have a few useful tools I have never used that I can now take back with me. The class also refreshed many of the ideas I have learned over the last year.
I really enjoyed the group exercises during the course. I believed I learned the most out of these exercises. Dan was a great trainer!
Great class, I look forward to taking the test.
Class met my expectations with respect to content. Would highly suggest this class to others as we roll more Agile teams out in ........
Dan has a great demeanor for teaching the subject matter. He did a great job intertwining real life experiences with the Product Owner topics."
Really informative! Thank you! I have multiple takeaways to bring back to my Agile team that we can do differently and/or better
Feedback from others in class on how they handle scenarios was very helpful.

The San Luis Coffee Table
With its natural edges and blue-gray coloring, the San Luis Coffee Table is a rustic yet refined centerpiece to any room. It's an attention grabber by combining an industrial element in the steel legs, with the organic shape that gives the table a strong sense of authenticity. Our non-toxic, Greenguard-certified, clear sealer protects against coffee rings and footprints and our quality construction means you never have to buy another coffee table. The San Luis is a nod to our Rocky Mountains and the beautiful landscape we call home in Colorado.
Due to the nature of our reclaimed wood, each piece will vary slightly and may include knots, cracks and other markings. These are unique characteristics of a storied past, and should not be viewed as defects.
In-home delivery for the Denver Metro area available for $59. If you are outside of our delivery area, please contact us for a shipping quote.

Get rid of TotalRecipe Search Toolbar (Removal Guide)
What is "TotalRecipe Search & Toolbar " ?
TotalRecipe's Software (TotalRecipe Search & TotalRecipe Toolbar) is a browser hijacker program that modifies your Internet search settings in order to redirect your browsing results into ads from unknown publishers.
Why you should remove it?
The "TotalRecipe" application was most probably installed at your computer without your knowledge. These toolbars are quite often bundled in the installation files of other legitimate programs (software tools and stuff). People go through the installation (of the legitimate software) without noticing that they are also installing additional software (the toolbar) that is not necessary for the legitimate software to run.
This useless software ("TotalRecipe" in this case) proceeds to hijack your browser settings without your knowledge and replaces the default search engine to their unwanted search engine, that RESEMBLES Google's search appearance, but with banners and text ads added all over the place. They also modify the search results to promote products and also install some flashing ads on the browser's toolbars. Some of these programs also log your browsing habits and spy on your sensitive data like passwords and emails.
You MUST remove these toolbars A.S.A.P. Your computer is at a great risk! Never underestimate the power that these little browser toolbars can have on your life.
How to remove it
Beware, just uninstalling it from control-panel by Add or Remove programs (or Programs and Features in newer versions of Windows) will NOT make it go away. There are some extra steps you have to follow to make it go away.
First of all uninstall these "applications" from Windows:
- TotalRecipe Search Toolbar for IE
- Ask Toolbar
- Uninstall any other application installed from "Conduit" publisher
- Uninstall any other unknown or unwanted application.
In case you don't know hot to do that, here is what you have to do:
- For Windows 8/7/Vista click at: Start > Control Panel >Programs and Features.
- For Windows XP click at: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
Remove TotalRecipe search settings & TotalRecipe Toolbar from your Internet browser
Now that you have done that, you must clean your Internet browsers from toolbars, plugins and extensions that are still in there, and also change the default search engine back to Google or to whatever you like to use. The instructions on how to do that are different for each browser. Here are detailed instructions for Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome.
Clean "TotalRecipe" from Internet Explorer
From Internet Explorer's main menu, click: "Tools " and choose "Internet Options". At "General" tab, delete the unwanted homepage (e.g. "search.conduit.com" or "search.ask.com") from "Home page" box & type your preferred homepage (e.g. www.google.com).
Then at the "Search" section click on "Settings". Click on "Search Providers" options at the left pane, choose the one you want and press "Set as default". Then select the unwanted search provider (e.g. "Totalrecipe customized web search" or "Ask.com") and click "Remove".
Finally, click on "Toolbars and Extensions" options at the left pane, select any unwanted toolbar or extension (e.g "TotalRecipe Search Toolbar") that exists there and click "Disable" on all of them.
Clean "TotalRecipe" from Google Chrome
Click on Chrome's menu (the gear icon at the upper right corner) and choose "Settings". On "Startup" section choose "Set Pages" and delete the unwanted home page (e.g. "search.conduit.com" or "search.ask.com") from there by pressing the "X" symbol on the right. Then set your preferred startup page (for example http://www.google.com) and press "OK".
Then on "Appearance" section select the "Show Home button" checkbox and choose "Change". Delete the unwanted webpage (search.conduit.com" or "search.ask.com) from "Open this page" box. Set your preferred webpage to open when you press your "Home page" button and click "OK".
Then go to the "Search" section and press the "Manage search engines" button. Select your preferred default search engine and press "Make default". Choose the unwanted search engine (Totalrecipe search" or "Ask.com) and remove it by pressing the "X" symbol. Choose "Done" to close "Search engines" window.
Finally, choose "Extensions" on the left pane. Remove any unwanted extension related to TotalRecipe (e.g. TotalRecipe search) from there by pressing the "recycle icon" to the right.
Clean "TotalRecipe" from Firefox
To clean "Totalrecipe" Search" from FF, first click "Options" on the main menu and in the "General" tab delete the unwanted homepage ("search.conduit.com" or "search.ask.com") from the "Home Page" box and set your preferred homepage (e.g.. www.google.com).
Then, go again to the Firefox menu and under "Tools" select "Manage Add-ons", click "Extensions" on the left pane and remove any unwanted extension installed by TotalRecipe software (e.g. "TotalRecipe search) by clicking the "remove" button.
Finally, click on the "Plugins" options at the left pane and disable any unwanted plugin from Conduit publisher (e.g. Conduit Plugin) found there by clicking the "Disable" (Never Activate) button.
But still we are not done yet! We have to clean the remaining malicious registry entries and files left in our system
We will need a couple of free excellent software tools to completely clean the computer. First download "AdwCleaner" utility. After you download it, close all open programs and run AdwCleaner. At the main window, press the "Scan" button. Wait until the scan is completed, review its findings and press the "Clean" button to remove all the entries it has found.
Then download and run Junkware Removal Tool. Be patient until JRT scans and cleans your system and then reboot your computer.
One final step. Download and install "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free". (Beware: at the last screen of installation, uncheck the box next to "Enable free Trial of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO" in order to use the free version of this GREAT software). Run it and go to the "Scanner" tab and click "Quick Scan" and wait until this process is finished. Click the "Show Results" button and review its findings and then select all of them (right click to "Select All" of them). Click the "Remove Selected" button.
That's all folks! It might sound like a lot of work, but in reality you'll be free from the "TotalRecipe" infection in less than 15 minutes, if you follow these instructions. Did it work for you? Please leave a comment in the comment section below or even better: like and share this blog post in the social networks to help spread the word about these really annoying crap Windows infections.

Mock Test - New TOPIK Intermediate-Advanced level - Reading
Instructions: - This is the online version of real TOPIK Sample Test released by NIIED, the organization conducting the TOPIK test. This is the Reading Section test of TOPIK II. The test has 50 questions and you get 70 minutes to complete the test. The site does not have timer functionality inbuilt so you should check the time yourself.
※ [1~2] ( )에 들어갈 가장 알맞은 것을 고르십시오. (각 2점)
1. 방금 들은 전화번호를 ( ) 수첩에 빨리 적었다.
Q.24. Apparently the correct answer is 'A'. But surely it is 'B'?! The call was for her mum, right?!
I am struggling to figure out whether I'm wrong or the answersheet is wrong! I figure it's got to be me, but I just can't understand how A is the right answer, not B!
(Got level 6 overall)
ps thanks for an *awesome* site!!!!
Actually both the answers seem to be right. The call was for her mom (Answer B) and the girl didn't want to talk so she just hung up (Answer A). But the official answer released by NIIED is A. May be because technically it's not clear if the phone was for her mom or some other family member. The caller just asked if it was 현화네's house.
question 39 and 41 have not sentence
and question 43 options B and C are the same when they should be different
Glitches noted:
Q17 is equal to Q13
Q42: there's no underlined part
Q46: phrases to insert are empty
Q50: there's no underlined part
In the section related to choosing correct replacements for the underlined words, there is no underline. Q. 3-4

The poll panel has written to Cabinet Secretary P.K. Sinha seeking a reply by January 10.
The Election Commission has sought a response from the Central government on the Opposition parties' petitions seeking that the Union Budget presentation be deferred.
The EC has written to Cabinet Secretary P.K. Sinha seeking the government's reply by January 10.
The Opposition parties had earlier this week petitioned the Commission asking that the Central government should defer the Budget presentation on account of the upcoming Assembly elections in five States.
Representatives of the Congress, Trinamool Congress, Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, Janata Dal (United), Rashtriya Janata Dal and DMK had met Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi.
While the EC is examining the petitions, Commission sources said the date for Budget presentation was not likely to change in case the Centre chose not to defer it.
However, as per the Model Code of Conduct, the government cannot make any specific Budget announcement pertaining to the poll-bound States which may amount to influencing voters.

Visit our Twitter page for real-time updates, click here: Penny Stock Experts
Hi Everyone & Welcome New Subscribers,
We saw a lack of follow through out of our two on watch for today, but that doesn't mean they won't provide bounce opportunities over the short term, so we suggest continuing to keep them on watch. Better to buy on a dip than chase into a rip anyhow.
Our point of focus moves to TPAC (Trans-Pacific Aerospace Co.) for tomorrow, as shares continued on their amazing ascent today, closing up more than 54% and adding to the already impressive 1000%+ move since early December.
This impressive bull run has left any bear in sight long behind in it's wake, as shares have moved from the .0005 range at the beginning of December up to new highs of .0057 today, and closed at .0054.
It's an amazing feat to say the least, especially when you consider just how quick TPAC has achieved such gains, and at this point there is really no telling how high it might go.
As with any penny stock, shares have been very volatile, trading down to the same low it found support at yesterday of .0031 before closing significantly higher.
Due to the lack of follow through we saw in other names today, we wouldn't suggest jumping the gun and entering right at tomorrow's open, but if shares were to venture back below .004 it could be a good place to look at the stock for another potential bounce back.
If .0031 were to fail, one might expect the stock to continue lower before attempting to find another base to push higher from.
Keep TPAC (Trans-Pacific Aerospace Co.) on watch for tomorrow.
Happy Trading!

Episode Summary: Mafuyu announcing the successful preparation of dinner becomes the forum for coming upon Sasha all worn out from having Tomo read books to him; while Sasha sleeping so innocently like a docile kindergarten boy with all the time in the world, Mafuyu is anguished at the prospect that the previous battle-hardened Sasha may not return for a long time. Teresa compares notes with Father Yuri about Sasha's incapacitation and its ramifications should the Adepts decide to try their fortunes for the "Tsar's Crowning" under the current circumstances; equally as dire is Sasha wandering off lost in his own thoughts while Elizabeth is anguished at Shin'ichiro becoming more distant with her as of late. Sasha and Elizabeth soon find that they are not blessed with the time to agonize over their poor fortunes when a blitzkrieg sniper attack by the Plumbum (Lead) Qwaser Jackal forces both Qwasers to take cover with their hostess named Moeno (in the manga, she is Nashimi) before Elizabeth decides for a valiant but futile defense after a soma recharge whose ultimate silver lining is that Sasha is fully awakened from his estivation just in time to pervert the onslaught to the assailant's detriment only to find that Shin'ichiro, which has kidnapped Tomo and controlled Teresa, is an even greater threat than the Adepts.

With the free-agent signing period approaching, we'll take a closer look at each of the Buffalo Bills' free agents, finding the closest matches in last offseason's free-agent class:
Pending Bills free agent: Alex Carrington
Position: Defensive lineman
Experience: 4 seasons
2013 stats: 3 games played (3 starts), 10 tackles
2013 snaps: 14.3 percent (defense), 3.1 percent (special teams)
Last offseason's closest match: Jarius Wynn
Experience: 4 seasons (entering 2013)
2012 stats: 7 games (0 starts), 6 tackles, two sacks, one pass defensed (for Tennessee)
2012 snaps: 11 percent (defense), 2.5 percent (special teams)
Signed with: San Diego Chargers
Contract: 1 year, $30,000 signing bonus, $745,000 base salary
Overview: Wynn was a sixth-round pick of the Packers in 2009, playing sparingly his first two seasons. His best season came in 2011, when he recorded 19 tackles, two sacks, and one forced fumble in 16 games (including four starts). Still, he wasn't able to crack the Packers' 53-man roster the next season and was a late-season pickup by the Titans. He turned that opportunity into a free-agent deal last spring with the Chargers but was cut after five games.
Last offseason's second-closest match: Alan Branch
Experience: 6 seasons (entering 2013)
2012 stats: 16 games (16 starts), 29 tackles, one sack, one pass defensed (for Seattle)
2012 snaps: 55.9 percent (defense), 12.6 percent (special teams)
Signed with: Buffalo Bills
Contract: 1 year, $3 million
Overview: Branch, a former second-round pick, never settled into a permanent role with the Arizona Cardinals. His best two seasons came in Seattle, earning him a one-year, "prove-it" type deal from the Bills last spring. When an injury ended Carrington's season, Branch slid into his spot and started the final 13 games of the season. That earned the 325-pounder a three-year extension in December.
Verdict: Carrington's injury last September throws a wrench into his valuation on the market this spring. The Bills could argue that Carrington deserves a deal like Wynn's -- small money for a player who has yet to prove himself in the NFL. Wynn's best season (in 2011) and Carrington's best season (in 2012) are close parallels. Carrington had 19 tackles and two sacks; Wynn had 19 tackles and three sacks. Wynn is slightly smaller but the belief is that both players are best suited as defensive ends in a 3-4 defense. Meanwhile, Carrington's side will argue that he was off to a great start last season and that the injury prevented him from fulfilling his potential in the Bills' defense. Had he played a full season, Carrington may have put up numbers similar to Branch in 2012. It's unclear how Carrington will fit into Jim Schwartz's defensive scheme, so it's hard to pin down how the Bills might value him. However, the most likely scenario is that a team projects Carrington as a potential starter within their defense and offers him a deal somewhere in between Branch's and Wynn's.

Redrafting the First Two Rounds of the 2012 NFL DraftJanuary 10, 2013
Redrafting the First Two Rounds of the 2012 NFL Draft
What if the entire NFL just decided to take a mulligan on the 2012 NFL draft?
Knowing what we know now about the great unknown, what would be different? Which players would skyrocket up the draft board and which would plummet? Which coaches and general managers would have a shot to save their jobs with another go-round at talent acquisition?
Which teams would benefit and which teams would wince as their late-round gems became first-round picks?
Before we start, some ground rules.
First, for the purposes of this exercise, everyone is healthy. There's no reason to drop a guy down for something he can't control. Plus, drafts aren't just for the upcoming year—this is about long-term needs and overall improvement of the franchise's direction. A guy missing his rookie season isn't ideal, but it doesn't mean that it's a terrible pick.
Care was made to assess not only the current needs of the team, but also the needs immediately prior to the 2012 draft. However, teams that drafted a certain position because of a perceived need would now have the benefit of hindsight, so some teams might ignore positions they focused on a year ago.
Finally, just because "Player A" was better than "Player B" as a rookie, doesn't mean teams would take "Player A" first. Film study trumps stats, and long-term success is just as important as immediate.
Onto the picks!
1. Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck (QB Stanford)
Original Pick: Andrew Luck (QB Stanford)
I mean, duh.
Andrew Luck has been phenomenal for the Colts this season and is maturing into a top quarterback even sooner than expected.
He's perfect for what Bruce Arians wants to do on offense and has survived behind the Colts' porous offensive line better than anyone else could.
2. Washington Redskins: Robert Griffin III (QB Baylor)
Original Pick: Robert Griffin III (QB Baylor)
If we really wanted to do a "what if," we could rewind to a time when this pick belonged to St. Louis and give them RGIII.
It is interesting, however, doing this exercise as Griffin lays in a hospital bed. Would this revisionist pick be different in a few years? It's very possible.
For now, RGIII clearly looks like the right pick, as he has turned the Redskins into a viable franchise once again.
3. Cleveland Browns: Russell Wilson (QB Wisconsin)
Original Pick: Trent Richardson (RB Alabama)
The Browns love Richardson, but Russell Wilson would have saved some jobs in 2012.
Look at what Wilson has done in Seattle. Then realize that the Browns have a better offensive line and weapons that he could utilize better than Brandon Weeden ever did.
Especially if we assume Josh Gordon is still in Cleveland in this scenario.
4. Minnesota Vikings: Matt Kalil (OT USC)
Original Pick: Matt Kalil (OT USC)
The Vikings are extremely happy with this pick.
Kalil revitalized multiple positions along the offensive front, gave Peterson the ability to run to both sides of the field and kept Ponder a lot cleaner than he had been in the past.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Trent Richardson (RB Alabama)
Original Pick: Justin Blackmon (WR Oklahoma State)
If the Jaguars knew what they know now...
By the end of the season, they were just picking guys off the street to play running back for them.
Is MJD ever going to be MJD again? Is he even going to be in the plans of the next regime?
Richardson doesn't solve any major problems with the Jaguars, but he gives them an elite offensive weapon and changes the way teams have to prepare for them—something they lacked in 2012.
6. Dallas Cowboys: Morris Claiborne (CB LSU)
Original Picks: Morris Claiborne (CB LSU)
Claiborne wasn't the best rookie cornerback, but that's not what this exercise is about.
Claiborne is still the best young cornerback prospect in the NFL and (for stretches) he was one of the best defenders on the Cowboys not named DeMarcus Ware.
However, at other times, he made some pretty boneheaded errors.
The Cowboys would gladly take those errors again, knowing that Claiborne is going to grow into an elite NFL cornerback.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Doug Martin (RB Boise State)
Original Pick: Mark Barron (S Alabama)
The Buccaneers would get to this redraft with one goal—don't lose Doug Martin.
Does it stink for them that they have to take him a lot earlier than they did last time around?
Yes, yes it does.
8. Miami Dolphins—Ryan Tannehill (QB Texas A&M)
Original Pick: Ryan Tannehill (QB Texas A&M)
I'm not 100 percent sold on Tannehill as "the next Marino."
He showed that he can be, at times, in 2012, but as more teams got scouting tape on him and Mike Sherman's offense, he also looked a lot like "the next Chad Henne."
That said, QBs are in short supply, and Tannehill is the last of the elite prospects in this draft class.
The Dolphins will still need to get him more help than they did in the real world.
9. Carolina Panthers: Bobby Wagner (LB Utah State)
Original Pick: Luke Kuechly (LB Boston College)
Yes, Carolina Panthers fans, complain below.
Kuechly led the league in tackles in 2012. Panthers fans think that means he was the best rookie linebacker, deserving of a Pro Bowl nod and candidacy for Rookie of the Year.
None of that is actually true.
Wagner is as good a physical prospect and makes a lot more impacting plays. He fights through and stands up blocks better than Kuechly, and is just as good tracking from sideline to sideline.
10. Buffalo Bills: Mark Barron (S Alabama)
Original Pick: Stephon Gilmore (CB S. Carolina)
The Bills already have a good safety tandem in Jairus Byrd and George Wilson, but the latter of those two players isn't anywhere near the ball hawk that Mark Barron would be on the Buffalo team as it stands now.
As the defensive front hit its stride midseason, the Bills' biggest problem was that they weren't making teams pay when errant balls went up into the air.
Barron would change that, alongside Byrd.
11. Kansas City Chiefs: Chandler Jones (DE Syracuse)
Original Pick: Dontari Poe (NT Memphis)
It's easy to see why the Chiefs wanted a nose guard, but Poe just wasn't that guy (and no one at No. 11 would've been).
Instead, Chandler Jones joins the already great Chiefs defense as a slightly undersized 3-4 DE and a guy who could wear a lot of hats for a defense already filled with playmakers.
But seriously, the biggest "redo" pick would probably be a gigantic trade for one of the QBs. Scott Pioli's inability to staff that position was his biggest downfall.
12. Philadelphia Eagles: Bruce Irvin (DE West Virginia)
Original Pick: Fletcher Cox (DT Mississippi State)
The Eagles looked at their roster and, somewhat easily, figured out they had enough pass-rushers and needed some bulk in the middle.
Cox played well for the Eagles, but those pass-rushers they counted on were never able to get anything going.
Irvin, if nothing else, would've energized the Eagles on pass-heavy downs.
Maybe he's a lot like some of the rushers they already have, but he's still an upgrade.
13. Arizona Cardinals: Mitchell Schwartz (OT California)
Original Pick: Michael Floyd (WR Notre Dame)
I'm not sure Mitchell Schwartz would be a long-term solution at LT for the Cardinals, but he would be better than anyone they trotted out in 2012.
At RT, his natural position, he would've easily been one of the Cardinals' best players on offense.
14. St. Louis Rams: Justin Blackmon (WR Oklahoma State)
Original Pick: Michael Brockers (DT LSU)
The Rams built a good defense in 2012 with Jeff Fisher at the helm, and I'm confident they could do so even with a slightly different focus at the top of the draft.
Brockers played well, but it was difficult for the Rams to stay in games when Sam Bradford had so little help.
If the Rams liked a lineman in this situation, that's a no-brainer, but the best player available is Blackmon, who would immediately improve the Rams offense.
15. Seattle Seahawks: Quinton Coples (DE N. Carolina)
Original Pick: Bruce Irvin (DE W. Virginia)
The 'Hawks would gladly take Irvin again, but he's off the board.
So Coples comes in as their situational pass-rusher in his first year, and probably has a little more upside as an every-down player in the future.
16. New York Jets: Kendall Wright (WR Baylor)
Original Pick: Quinton Coples (DE/OLB UNC)
The Jets still need a pass-rusher, but with hindsight, they would probably aim to do something about that atrocious offense.
Wright gives them a legitimate No. 1 target and would help whoever ends up under center.
Round 2 spoiler alert!
17. Cincinnati Bengals: Luke Kuechly (LB Boston College)
Original Pick: Dre Kirkpatrick (CB Alabama)
The Bengals turned to Vontaze Burfict at linebacker this season and he played well behind that terrific Bengals defensive line.
The irony of this pick is that Kuechly would likely be even more effective in Cincinnati than he was in Carolina, with a guy like Geno Atkins in front of him.
18. San Diego Chargers: Reilly Reiff (OT Iowa)
Original Pick: Melvin Ingram (DE/OLB S. Carolina)
Ingram helped the Chargers defense this season, but the Chargers had nothing protecting Philip Rivers (and Rivers had little to throw to).
With Norv Turner at the helm, that was a huge problem.
Reiff would've been a steady presence, adding a handful of wins to the Chargers' total all by himself.
19. Chicago Bears: David DeCastro (OG Stanford)
Original Pick: Shea McClellin (DE Boise State)
The Bears got cute by taking another pass-rusher when the offensive line was in such dire need.
They trusted Mike Tice to fix the personnel they already had. That trust, as we now know, was misplaced.
DeCastro immediately gives Cutler and Forte a boost and is probably the difference as the Bears head to the playoffs.
20. Tennessee Titans: Harrison Smith (S Notre Dame)
Original Pick: Kendall Wright (WR Baylor)
Wright made some great plays for the Titans in 2012 and likely will in the future, but he's off the board.
Instead of reaching for another receiver, the Titans grab a playmaker for the defensive backfield—something they sorely needed this past season.
21. New England Patriots: Fletcher Cox (DT Mississippi State)
Original Pick: Chandler Jones (DE Syracuse)
Next to Vince Wilfork, Cox would be a terror to opposing offenses.
He would also help keep blockers off the Patriots linebackers, who had to deal with a lot of traffic in 2012.
22. Cleveland Browns: Kevin Zeitler (OG Wisconsin)
Original Pick: Brandon Weeden (QB Oklahoma State)
The Browns already added Russell Wilson, so they need to go about protecting him, giving him weapons, etc.
Mitchell Schwartz would probably be the pick here (earlier than they actually took him), but he's a Cardinal in this situation.
So Kevin Zeitler comes in to play either RG or RT and gives the Browns a dominant run-blocker and able pass-protector.
23. Detroit Lions: Dre Kirkpatrick (CB Alabama)
Original Pick: Riley Reiff (OT Iowa)
Every Lions fan who has clicked on this article probably thought Janoris Jenkins would be the pick for this slide. Sorry, guys.
Knowing what we know about the Lions' 2012 struggles with character and composure, Jenkins would not be a wise selection. Jenkins had some hiccups this past year that Jeff Fisher stamped out; there's no indication Jim Schwartz could have done the same.
Instead, Kirkpatrick (if he stayed healthy in Honolulu Blue) would give the Lions front four a chance at a few coverage sacks across from Chris Houston.
24. Pittsburgh Steelers: Cordy Glenn (OT Georgia)
Original Pick: David DeCastro (OG Stanford)
If DeCastro had been able to stay healthy, the year may have been slightly better for the Steelers, so he'd be the pick if he weren't already selected by the Bears.
In his place, the Steelers reach a little bit for Cordy Glenn, who had a very underrated season up in Buffalo and would immediately step in as a starter for Pittsburgh.
25. New England Patriots: Melvin Ingram (DE S. Carolina)
Original Pick: Dont'a Hightower (LB Alabama)
With teams above the Patriots eschewing pass-rushers for other needs, the Pats luck into Ingram, who would give them a versatile rusher who can put his hand down or stand up in the Patriots' hybrid scheme.
26. Houston Texans: Alshon Jeffery (WR S. Carolina)
Original Pick: Whitney Mercilus (OLB/DE Illinois)
Mercilus had his moments, and the desire to put pass-rushers around J.J. Watt is a very noble endeavor.
That said, the need for a second wideout across from Andre Johnson is even more pressing.
Jeffery proved he could step up and be a pro, and the Texans reap the benefits in this redraft.
27. Cincinnati Bengals: Janoris Jenkins (CB North Alabama)
Original Pick: Kevin Zeitler (OG Wisconsin)
All those Jenkins issues we talked about in the Lions slide are still very real here, and I don't trust Marvin Lewis to manage them as well as Fisher did.
However, as always, that doesn't mean they wouldn't take the chance.
28. Green Bay Packers—Whitney Mercilus (DE/OLB Illinois)
Original Pick: Nick Perry (DE/OLB USC)
Very close here to just selecting Perry in the redraft, but Mercilus is probably a better all-around player and could do more immediately for the Packers on their playoff run.
Really, either way it's a solid pick for a Packers team that doesn't have a shot at an impact lineman.
29. Minnesota Vikings: Casey Hayward (CB Vanderbilt)
Original Pick: Harrison Smith (S Notre Dame)
The Vikings need a defensive back to keep teams from running up the score on them, and Smith did extremely well in his rookie season.
Methinks Hayward would have similar success on the Vikings, especially across from Antoine Winfield.
This pick would probably move Chris Cook to safety.
30. San Francisco 49ers: Michael Brockers (DT LSU)
Original Pick: A.J. Jenkins (WR Illinois)
Maybe, long term, Jenkins will pan out for the 49ers, but the argument could be made that the offensive weapons around Alex Smith/Colin Kaepernick were more than capable this past season.
If we're looking at a longer-term pick, let's go with the best player available.
That's Brockers, who had a good season for the Rams and would give the Niners a versatile pass-rushing big body.
31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Lavonte David (LB Nebraska)
Original Pick: Doug Martin (RB Boise State)
At this point, I almost feel bad for the Buccaneers.
They're filling the same needs, but they're suffering from a draft board that they seemingly played with foresight. But now others get to look back on their mistakes.
David has been phenomenal for the Bucs this season and is my pick for Defensive Rookie of the Year.
32. New York Giants: David Wilson (RB Virginia Tech)
Original Pick: David Wilson (RB Virginia Tech)
Last pick of the first round stays the same, as the Giants won't want to give up Wilson's special teams ability or upside as the lightning back.
Luxury pick? Absolutely, but a luxury the Giants are awfully comfortable with.
Round Two
2.1 St. Louis Rams: Stephon Gilmore (CB S. Carolina)
Gilmore falls here and probably ends up looking as fantastic as Jenkins did on that Rams offense.
2.2 Indianapolis Colts: Dwayne Allen (TE Clemson)
In real life, Allen went a round later, but there's little chance the Colts wouldn't ensure he's on their team (even over Coby Fleener) by taking him here.
2.3 Baltimore Ravens: Dont'a Hightower (LB Alabama)
The Ravens needed Upshaw in 2012, but Hightower falls to them as a long-term replacement for Ray Lewis.
2.4 Denver Broncos: Derek Wolfe (DT Cincinnati)
The Broncos, in hindsight, don't need a whole lot. If there were a better lineman available or a great tight end prospect, maybe. Otherwise, Wolfe looked like a great prospect who fit their system.
2.5 Cleveland Browns: Nick Perry (LB/DE USC)
The Browns have done a lot to improve their offense already; here's a pass-rusher to grow alongside that young defense.
2.6 Jacksonville Jaguars: Kirk Cousins (QB Michigan State)
Blaine Gabbert got his general manager and head coach fired. Kirk Cousins would get a shot to start after his job in relief as a Redskin.
2.7 St. Louis Rams: Peter Konz (C/OG Wisconsin)
The Rams need more protection for Bradford, who got his receiver in Round 1. Know that the defense is a priority, but these picks made the Rams a lot more balanced on offense.
2.8 Carolina Panthers: Kendall Reyes (DT Connecticut)
Former GM Marty Hurney never got a great defensive tackle, seemingly ignoring the position with abandon. Reyes and Bobby Wagner would have probably saved his job.
2.9 Buffalo Bills: Courtney Upshaw (DE/LB Alabama)
Mark Anderson is a bit of a bust as a free-agent acquisition. Once Mario Williams gets healthy in this redo reality, the Bills defense would be a lot better.
2.10 Miami Dolphins: Brian Quick (WR App St.)
OK, you got Tannehill, now get him a receiver. While Quick didn't have the best season of the receivers who are left on the board, he's the guy who looks most like a true No. 1.
2.11 New York Jets: Brandon Weeden (QB Oklahoma State)
Is Weeden a sure thing? No, absolutely not. Is he worlds better than the QBs on the Jets roster? Absolutely.
2.12 Kansas City Chiefs: Nick Foles (QB Arizona)
Everything said about Weeden above, yeah....the same thing here. With even average play from Foles (and excitement about that play), Pioli keeps his job.
2.13 Chicago Bears: Michael Floyd (WR Notre Dame)
Without Alshon Jeffery available, the Bears get a local prospect who would look awfully nice across from Brandon Marshall.
2.14 Philadelphia Eagles: Jonathan Martin (OT Stanford)
Without Foles behind Vick, the Eagles will have to protect Vick to keep him healthy. Martin would be able to bookend Jason Peters extremely well for years to come.
2.15 Seattle Seahawks: Amini Silatolu (OG Midwestern State)
Without Wilson, the Seahawks need to build around Matt Flynn. That means better protection on the interior for a quarterback who isn't nearly as effective on the run.
2.16 New England Patriots: Vontaze Burfict (LB Arizona State)
In the first, the Patriots grabbed a couple of awesome linemen. That means Burfict should have plenty of talent in front of him to duplicate the success he had in Cincinnati.
2.17 San Diego Chargers: Shea McClellin (DE/OLB Boise State)
The Chargers didn't get their pass-rusher in the first, so while another linemen here may be needed, they pull the trigger on one of the best players available.
2.18 St Louis Rams: Mike Martin (DT Michigan)
After passing on Brockers in the first and beefing up the offense so far, the Rams finally flip the switch and go defense. Martin reestablishes and holds the line of scrimmage better than almost any lineman in this class.
2.19 Green Bay Packers: Mike Adams (OT Ohio State)
Another defensive pick would make sense for a Packers team that was able to improve so much on that side of the ball from 2011 to 2012. However, protecting Aaron Rodgers should be more of a priority the second time around.
2.20 Tennessee Titans: Jerel Worthy (DT Michigan State)
In hindsight, the Titans know that Chris Johnson can still carry the offense, so they continue to stock the defense with a solid player along the front.
2.21 Cincinnati Bengals: Kelechi Osemele (OT/OG Iowa State)
The Bengals ran behind rookie Kevin Zeitler when they needed yards in 2012. In an alternate reality, they do the same thing behind Osemele.
2.22 Detroit Lions: Andre Branch (DE Clemson)
The Lions' fearsome pass rush wasn't nearly as fearsome as it should've been. Branch is a versatile player who can add much needed depth with their starting ends as free agents in 2013.
2.23 Atlanta Falcons: Zach Brown (LB North Carolina)
Brown was viewed as "just an athlete" before the draft. In reality, he was fantastic and made a ton of big plays for the Titans. For the Falcons, he makes their defense that much more dynamic.
2.24 Pittsburgh Steelers: Dontari Poe (NT Memphis)
The Steelers have put up with merely hoping for better play along their defensive front for years. Might as well push some chips in and grab another fantastic athlete who could pan out in the future.
2.25 Denver Broncos: Alfred Morris (RB Florida Atlantic)
Why not Morris sooner? The Redskins are a perfect storm for running back success—mobile QBs and zone-blocking schemes can make great running backs even greater. This redo would be a great opportunity to see if Morris could duplicate that success on another team.
2.26 Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Tavon Wilson (S Illinois)
The Bucs have pretty much had the exact same draft, except for trading Wilson for Barron. If Wilson had the same success under Schiano that he had under Belichick, it's probably a draw for the Bucs.
2.27 New Orleans Saints: Pick Forfeited
Should the Saints get a pick in the redo now that Bountygate is over? Give me your opinion in the comments below.
2.28 Philadelphia Eagles: Devon Still (DT Penn State)
A local kid to make up for missing on Cox earlier. The Eagles come out on top with better line play.
2.29 Baltimore Ravens: T.Y. Hilton (WR Florida International)
Hilton lasts because he's not a true No. 1 and may not put up quite the numbers he did with Bruce Arians. Here, his deep speed adds another asset to the Ravens offense. Maybe Cam Cameron sticks around.
2.30 San Francisco 49ers: Mohamed Sanu (WR Rutgers)
Would the 49ers trade Jenkins for Sanu? Maybe, maybe not. Should they? Absolutely.
2.31 Green Bay Packers: Josh Robinson (CB Central Florida)
The Packers missed out on Hayward, who went in the first round to the Vikings. They return the favor here by stealing the athletic Robinson from the Vikings.
2.32 New York Giants: Trumaine Johnson (CB Montana)
The Giants need better coverage if they're ever going to stop teams from matching them point for point. Johnson could step in and improve that immediately.

We don't know much about his past, but Daryl says: "You want to know what I was before all this? I was nobody. Nothing." And I believe he believes that to be true. The Dixon brothers grew up in a mountain region in North Georgia. Their parents were both alcoholics and their father apparently also physically abused them. Merle Dixon (Michael Rooker) spent a lot of his youth in juvenile detention and left Daryl alone to fend with his father, claiming later he didn't know he was beating him, too. There is no indication in the show that either Merle of Daryl ever had a real job or had any access to higher education. Merle was a drug addict and after being dishonourably discharged from the military, he only drifted through life, taking his brother along with him, who did everything he told him. So by today's standards you could say they were both nobodies, people who didn't possess any value to society. But that drastically changes once everything goes down the drain.
There is a paradigm shift and what used to be important for humanity, like formal education, politeness, fashion and culture, gave way to the only thing that matters now: the art of survival. So it's not surprising that throughout the show the tough, ruthless individuals seem to fare the best. But don't get me wrong, Mr. Dixon is nothing like that. Of course he's tough – he's got the biceps, the loose tongue and the guts to prove that, but he is by no means ruthless. Quite the contrary. He and Glenn (Steven Yeun) are probably the most good-hearted characters on the entire show.

Never one to shun potential dangers or confrontation, Daryl is usually the first to volunteer for whatever needs to be done, and by now there is probably not one member in their group who has not, at some point, been saved by Daryl or relied on his aid. He is the kind of guy you want to have around when the world is nearing its end. Whenever he's on screen, it feels like everything is going to be okay somehow, so in case of danger: Keep Calm and Hide Behind Daryl Dixon. He even took out a freaking TANK all by himself. How badass can you get? And apparently the need for a Daryl transcends the realm of the show. Just have a look at this picture Norman Reedus uploaded on his Facebook page:

This brings down your temperature, despite the fact that it warms your mouth.
Don't eat enormous suppers. Snack on a few scones in the event that you are feeling peckish. You can pick Oreos, Marie Biscuits, Tennis Biscuits, Romany Creams, or Lemon Creams. Your nearby money and convey distributer will have a major assortment of flavors for you to browse. Eating a major supper will make you feel more blazing, as processing takes up a ton of vitality and this creates body warm. Remain cooler by eating littler bits and drinking super cold filtered water or squeeze.
Wear light hued garments. Dim hues ingest significantly more warmth than light ones, so avoid dark. White, beige and light pastel hues are the best shades to wear amid horrendous warmth waves.
Use water. We as a whole know the most ideal approach to chill off or keep cool is to drink water. Drink filtered water, for example, Aquella, Avian, and Nestle to chill. In the event that you don't have a swimming pool, you can in any case make a little water go far. Spot a material with water and put it on the weight purposes of your body, to be specific, your wrist, sanctuaries, elbows and all joint wrinkles. Drinking super cold dilute will cool the body faster. Keep in mind don't squander water as it is valuable.

Simon Ledsham, director of trading and volunteer fundraising at Cancer Research UK, said: "We are thrilled that Peter is holding these dance-a-thons for the charity.

Saturday 30th January 2016 – Bournemouth International Centre
Saturday 6th February 2016 – Newcastle Metro Radio Arena
Saturday 27th February – Cardiff Motorpoint Arena

Discussing the intricacies of the weather is something that is best confined to consenting adults - i get that - but as i can't find enough of those in real life, i thought i would try here.
Obviously, typhoons are the headline grabbers, but for those into the nitty gritty of all the other weather that Taiwan throws up, then it would be great if you could contribute.
Anyway, Taidong, and other parts of Taiwan, are currently going through an extreme dry spell. I'd love to know what the record is (can't find the stats), but we are now over 7 weeks without rain. The longest i've seen it go without rain before is 3 weeks. And despite two typhoons making landfall in Taidong, we are down 500mm on the yearly rainfall ave.
Been a very dry autumn too in Hualien. Often October is wet and dreary here, last few years we've had rainfall of:2010 - 629mm2011 - 487mm2012 - 182mm 2013 - 175mm
This year, 2014 = just 33mm.
Not that I'm complaining, it was a wonderful autumn.The last couple of days have seen a return to type, misty and soggy conditions. Plenty of rain here and down south in the HuaDong valley.
Yeah, it's been nice weather, and the dong bei ji fong has been quite moderate apart from an initial 10-day blast, but i'm still complaining. Taidong is actually a pretty dry old place, and without rain i need to waste time watering plants, plus all my tanks are dry. We did get 5mil last night, so that's something.
I see the ave for Oct in Hualien is 362mm, so 33mm is way down. Su Ao had 151mm in Oct, which sounds like a lot, until you see their ave for Oct is a whopping 744mil.
I think this autumn weather though makes up for some pretty rubbish autumns in previous years, but I do understand the gardener's needs.
Mountains wreathed in swirling cloud again up here today - I'm getting interested in how this kind of wet weather around Hualien persists as you head down the HuaDong. We're taking a road trip this weekend down to Chishang : there's often a point south of Ruisui where there's an abrupt change.
You being on the coast though, and not in the valley, must get a different set of weather completely.
I soooo much want to go to Chishang. Take a lot of pics for Icon, please.
I am a bit concerned at how cold it got so suddenly, and I think that prediction of a colder than average winter will come true. My pals and schoolmates in Colorado and Minnesota are already finding it hard to drive through the snow ... and there is a long way to go.
Rain and cool weather in autumn is Okish.
Last night was a 4 cat night in the Icon household.
This rainfall image reinforces exactly what you are talking about. Seems to hug the boundaries of hualien almost exactly. Assume it's to do with the coastal range.
The 'swirling clouds' sound nice, though your probably sick of the sight of them. Enjoy your trip to Chishang.
You've never been? It would be a nice place to chill as an old person, I think.
You calling me old? How long have you been married, sir? You should never mention age to a lady! :rant:
Icon works very hard to feed six mouths and hence has little time to look around this beautiful isle of ours. And if she does, she cannot bear to leave her fur children alone. So travel now, you young folk, rain or shine, as later on, you'd need a camper to carry the family along! :grandpa:
I'm pretty old, but have never been there. What are the attractions?
... I definitely meant it would be a good place to retire. Icon, no need to take it personally now.
Hmm... it's a typical little town but I feel it's done a better job at preserving a sense of local community and identity than towns in many other places, including in Hualien. But I feel weird telling a Taitung resident what Taitung has to offer...
I've only been once and the distinct impression I got is that it's under threat from a huge influx of tourists it is not ready to bear. But isn't that true of most of Taiwan?
Yeah, as you say, it's definitely happening and it boils down to how the influx is managed.It can't be just unfettered slather.
Many small businesses make welcome money off the tourist trade and i'm one of them - and i love them. They come, they're in a good mood, they have a good time, they spend their money at local businesses, the bars liven up, and then they go away again. I think it's a great industry. If properly managed.
But that's your independent tourist.
The tour bus hordes, on the other hand, spend all their money at specific hotels and the tour companies. In fact there may be a net drain on the local economy given the money spent to maintain toilet facilities and garbage collection and repairing the stuff they've trampled on.
Meanwhile, we had the Hualien mist going today, though the clouds were not wreathing quite as poetically on the mountains as nuit depicted them.
Good thread idea. Something that may be of use (for those that don't know already) is the climate statistics page over at the Central Weather Bureau site.
cwb.gov.tw/V7e/climate/daily ... ion/dP.htm
Lots of stats going back quite a few years, so you can compare for yourselves if this (insert season) is actually the (hottest/wettest/coldest/etc.) ever.
ThanksTM. I did write to CWB a couple of years back asking for stats and they sent me a ranking of the driest to wettest oct in Taidong for the last 100 years - though i haven't worked out if there's a way to access that resource without going through them. Since then, they've recorded 6mm in 2013 and 16mm in 2014 (though only 1mm where i live). That means 6 of the top 20 driest years on record have occured since 2001. And 4 of the driest 6 years have occured since 2001.
1998 was the wettest, with over 1000mm - we'd have to ask Robert Storey about that one.

Imagine Typhoon Zeb was responsible for much of that 1998 total.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_Zeb
Short on rain, and short on typhoons this year. I remember the year before I arrived there were three powerful typhoons which hit Hualien almost head on. Now I can't remember the last time we cowered in the basement as a family.
Question: is this going to be a more serious business end of the yearly "It's cold and I hate this weather" rant? Should I take my personal complaints about frozen toes elsewhere?
My neighbors tell me this autumn feels normal, whatever that means. I don't recall such a cool weather this time of the year, but sincerely, lately temperatures have been all over the place - last year it was 30 some degrees in December, right? Weather is crazy, man.
As my father used to say, 'Everyone complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.'
The goal of this thread is to actually do somethhing about it. Haven't figured out the hows, whys and wherefores yet, but we'll work on that as we go.
Meanwhile your frozen toes are very welcome here. Mid-Nov often seems to mark a dramatic change in the weather. It's when the coldfronts start moving down from the north west.
Is there a definite downward spiral? Seems so.
Yeah, and it does impact the farmers around here. Usually people are trying to get their winter crops (the main time for growing vegetables) in during October - ideally following a big autumn rain - but that's gone missing and the ground is like cement. Is that climate change? i'm not an expert on that, though that doesn't seem to stop lots of other commentators, but it is climate change in terms of the climate has changed, in the last 13 years at least. It's gotten significantly drier, and hotter (i think. Either that or i've gotten older and don't handle the heat as well. Possibly both.).
And if that is it, then i don't like it. I want the dial turned back to cooler and more regular rains. As do the farmers.
But it looks like we are in for some rain today. CWB has us (and Taipei) at 30% pop but the radar says different.
I have been hoping for a decent storm all fall in Kaohsiung since we get almost zero rain from December until the end of April but it looks like it will be a dry winter.
One thing that has always fascinated me is there is a distinct weather boundary at the border of Taichung and Miaoli county. I can't count the number of times I've driven North to Miaoli from sunny Taichung and from Sanyi it could be cloudy or even raining! It's something to do with the mountain range there I think.

still not feeling grateful enough
One said "You never realize how precious someone is till they gone" still i didn't get what it delivers to me i know i care about my parent's so i never fight them back. I know i'm just a little kid and they are my parent's all we have to do is following what they ordered us to do
i care about my dad and mom i want to kiss their cheek every night every time i want to go bed and hug them like i really don't want they go but in fact i wrangled with my mom every time i met her, sometimes i talk to her with care but sometimes she act like a 10 years old kid peeping out what am i doing or give me advices like i am going to do something fool and sometimes look at my tiniest fault puke her emotion till she cried
Call me ignorant, but still i can't imagine when one of them left me
Maybe i should be grateful because my sis told me that maybe me and her is the most luckiest kid in this world maybe on planet because she had a friend she told me that she always have that hollow look and i met her every time i hang out with my sis and when i look trough her eye i really feel her mind isn't in this present time
One day i share with my sis and i said that i still confused why some unlucky kids act emotionally broke while i thought it isn't that hard, she said that "it isn't like you imagine it's more than that words, for example you see that girl the last one we talked to? Her dad was a monster every night he always had a fight with his wife, hit her and do anything to her till she cried every night, but it isn't stop there after he hurt his wife he always come to his daughter and wether she's wrong or not her dad bought her to the dining table and hit her head till it's bleeding, and after every time he do that thing he cried and apologize to both of them, his daughter and wife. It repeats every night"
So my dad doesn't act like that it means God give me something that i should be grateful of. But can ask something to parents out there or someone about to be a parent please think forward think about your kids, so your kids could live life like they should. If you want a happiness don't get rid of someone else's happiness and give a bad memory to them, your parent's didn't treat you like that so don't do such thing to give your kid a bad memory.
do i look like a bit emotionally? Man i don't. My house maid didn't came for this day and i have to get something to eat after i post this. I wrote this post about at 2 PM but the internet disconnected every 2 seconds so i can't post it at that time and this is 5:03 PM i'm about to post this thing. By the way the egg picture is the egg i fried this morning and you know i didn't eat animal products but i really miss that taste lolol
and i think someone ask me to go out the day before but they didn't give a sign they about to go so i trapped in this house. The last time i took a bath was two days ago and okay i'll took a bath!

Update Your Outdoor Living Space with Pavestone Pavers
Authorized Distributor
Pavestone's collection of pavers, retaining walls, interlocking patio stones and edging are an ideal choice for use in your landscape.
- A variety of hues and textures will compliment and enhance the natural beauty of your landscape.
- The unsurpassed strength and flexibility will give you the assurance that your driveway, patio or pool deck will look beautiful for years to come.
- Designed to withstand freeze-thaw conditions, you'll be able to enjoy your new space in winter and summer months.
- Easy to clean with little maintenance required, you'll have more time to relax and enjoy your outdoor living space.
Because Pavestone products are mortarless, pavers can easily be picked up and reused making it fairly simple to change the design of your landscape and/or repair or replace if broken or stained. (This is not possible with cement and other type products.)
Pavestone uses high quality pigment to color its concrete pavers, and manufactures them in compliance with industry standards. The face colors of many Pavestone pavers are achieved by using propriety color formulas and processes developed by Pavestone.
Pavestone manufactures two types of pavers, through mix and face mix. For through mix pavers, the pigment is distributed throughout the entire paver. Pavers with face mix consist of two layers: the face mix, which contains the pigment, and the base mix (generally without any pigment). By using a face mix, Pavestone can offer pavers in some colors it's unable to manufacture using a through mix. The face mix is typically about 7 to 10 millimeters thick – thick enough to offer a lifetime of wear. Pavers with through mix and those with face mix will react similarly to surface changes that result from weathering and use.
(Source: www.Pavestone.com)
Purchasing Pavestone Products
We have in-stock a selection of Pavestone products and can also special order. (Pavestone products cannot be ordered direct from the manufacturer.)
Pavestone's Material Project Estimator will help determine how much product you will need.
Pavestone recommends using a 3″ masonry chisel and a hand sledgehammer as well as a guillotine splitter. Some products, such as patio stone, edging products and wall products, can be cut with a circular saw and a masonry blade. For more precise cuts, Pavestone recommends using a wet saw with a diamond tip blade. (Because of the strength and quality of Pavestone pavers, a masonry blade will wear down in just one or two cuts.)

NEW ORLEANS -- For Michigan to continue its path toward reclamation, the Allstate Sugar Bowl is important for a lot of reasons.
So much of how teams are judged now are how they fare in bowl games, and historically, the Wolverines haven't been great. They're 18-20 in bowls, including a 4-6 record since 2000.
They haven't been all that good in marquee bowls, either. Michigan hasn't won a BCS game since a 35-34 overtime win over Alabama on Jan. 1, 2000. Since then, the Wolverines have lost in the Rose Bowl in 2004 (28-14 to USC), 2005 (38-37 to Texas) and 2007 (32-18 to USC).
So this Sugar Bowl is, in some ways, about more than just a single team in a single season. It is about taking another step toward a return to relevancy on the national stage for Michigan.
Beating Virginia Tech could go a long way to doing that.
Winning a bowl game, whether it should or not, helps shape perception.
"It's a lot better when you win it," Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer said. "The way you're thought of in the end, the final poll, it's a lot better if you win it for when you start out the next year. It's going to be higher if you win it.
"I think there' just a lot of implications that a BCS bowl win or any bowl win really has on your program."
And in college football, for now, perception is almost everything when you are trying to win a national championship, which Michigan might have the team to do next season.
Michigan coach Brady Hoke said he hasn't thought much about next season's opener against Alabama. but the Wolverines' chances against the Crimson Tide -- at least in the world of perception -- would be higher with a win.
"There's a momentum that any team has when you win that last opportunity you have to play," Hoke said. "I think there's something to be said for that. You're on a national stage. The only game in town.
"And so people who love and have a passion for college football, they're going to take notice."
How they notice and view Michigan could be very different by the end of Tuesday night.

THE MAJORITY of senior coaches support lengthening the minimum kick distance to 20m.
Kicks have to travel 15m before a mark can be paid.
But 53 per cent of the coaches who responded to a recent survey conducted by the AFL Coaches' Association and AFL Media want kicks to travel 20m before a mark can be paid.
A range of other questions were put to the coaches: asked whether the current interchange system was working, 60 per cent answered yes.
Despite the furore that surrounded the introduction of the substitute rule and the interchange cap, 80 per cent of the coaches surveyed declared that a cap of 80 interchanges was "workable".
The coaches were also asked to put forward a rule that should be introduced.
One responded: "Cannot take possession of the ball whilst off feet and on the ground."
Another wrote: "Cannot touch the ball while you are off your feet … i.e. lying on the ground."
