Disney Sofia the First -Soft Doll is the perfect doll for any little girl to cuddle, love and sleep with. I bought this for my neice who just turned 3. Her face was priceless when she opened Sofia, filled with excitement and followed by the statement "Oh I hope she loves me" - my heart melted as she carried her Sofia doll around with her everywhere she went for the rest of her party!! I have to say Sofia was a huge hit and that makes this Aunt very happy!

The recent news about West Virginia University football coach in waiting Dana Holgorsen naturally got me to thinking about Dana Dane.
That's because I can't keep a straightforward train of thought my brain synapses don't always work in a straight line I'm not really sure.
Dana Holgorsen, of course, is the Norse God of Offense. And he got in trouble recently for letting his Loki side get somewhat out of hand at a Cross Lanes casino. My bigger question: How fun can a Cross Lanes casino possibly be at 3 in the morning?
I digress as usual, not that I was really ever gressing.
I looked up Dana Dane, a pre-90s rap star, and he has no similarities whatsoever.
Dana Dane's real name is Dana McLeese and he grew up on Brooklyn, although he rapped with a British accent. His debut, "Dana Dane with Fame," peaked at No. 46 on the Billboard album chart in 1987. His biggest single was "Cinderfella Dana Dane," which reached No. 11 on Billboard's R&B charts.
Anyway, I mention it mostly just to post this video. But if the untold story of Dana Holgorsen is that he picked up a mic and started busting rhymes at the racetrack in the early morning hours, why then who could fault him for that? Anyhow, press play and imagine the rapper is actually Dana Holgorsen rockin' the Mardi Gras Casino house.

We mourn the 12 victims and 58 wounded in the senseless slaughter in Aurora. We also mourn the suicide bombing that murdered five Israelis and two Bulgarians, and wounded dozens of Israelis in Bulgaria.
These two horrific events are tied together chronologically and also on a communal level. These tragedies potentially could provide us with a catalyst to change the harsh polarization that is affecting both the American and Israeli society.
Today, deep political divides have polarized communities in America and Israel. Opposing sides lash out in anger and vitriol, fragmenting our societies.
These tragedies occurred at precisely the time of greatest sadness for the Jewish people. During these three weeks Jews worldwide remember their persecution from the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE to the Holocaust and today's terrorism.
The Jewish Sages tell us that these Three Weeks of sadness were precipitated by national strife. Baseless hatred and disunity destroyed Jerusalem and caused the expulsion of Jews from the Holy Land. It set the stage for the next 2000 years of numerous persecutions.
The tragedies in Bulgaria and Aurora did not occur because of the current state of strife. Rather, attempting to help us all cope with the emotional impact of these tragedies can help us bridge the gaps that divide us.
A nationwide realization that people on all sides of these divides have been deeply affected by these events can help us see our common humanity. This understanding can help us begin the process of healing the disturbances caused by our divisions.
Let us transform strife into unity. Let us conquer fear with compassion. Let us soften this period of loss with acts of kindness and caring. Let us add to the healing over the tragedies and ensure that the loss of life results in some positive growth in society.
May God comfort the families and friends of victims, heal the dozens of wounded, and bring us all peace and unity.

From the moment that Matisyahu's new album 'Spark Seeker' hits your ears, you realize that the singer/songwriter is on a new journey of self-discovery. Complex, deeply spiritual, worldly, upbeat, at times pop and danceable, transcontinental, and electronic, 'Spark Seeker' grabs you. New beats, new sounds, new music, period. This July 17th release is best listened to loud.
'Spark Seeker' represents a continuation of Matisyahu's personal journey and his independent streak. The changes he is showing the world are part of his spiritual quest, and are fueled by the same desire for authenticity as the call that led him to avoid the world of materialism and towards a spiritual Hasidic path. Matisyahu has has not forsaken his spiritual quest or the Judaism that has inspired him on his journey so far. He, like so many of us, is seeking, dreaming, struggling and wrestling with tradition and God. But unlike us, his personal journey has become the topic of intense public discussion.
"Crossroads", the first track on the album begins with middle eastern rhythms, sounds and ancient winds blowing across a desert. Then the familiar voice fades in "like I'm walking through a kingdom of time…only to find the other side," revealing to us that the Matisyahu is at a crossroads in his spiritual and musical development. 'Spark Seeker' brings together his previous albums and says, this is one path, one journey.
You can feel the spiritual energy that went into 'Spark Seekers' echos back to previous albums and songs. In his beautiful "Sunshine", Matisyahu longs for a champion, a redeemer, the Moshiach. In "Live Like a Warrior", you feel the power of "Youth".
"Shema Yisrael…" calls Matisyahu into the vast sound of "Desert Eagle", and you can see him there standing in the Judean desert embracing the beauty of the ancient past, and fusing it with the present and the future. The ancient and the modern mashup works brilliantly.
Each listen to the album reveals new elements, new voices, new lyrics. You come face to face with the brilliant collaboration with Shyne, the former Bad Boy Records rapper who spent nine years in prison before heading to Israel and becoming an Orthodox Jew.
Many have questions for Matisyahu: What happened to the beard? Are you still Jewish? Do you still keep kosher? What does your family think?
While offering some answers, there is still much mystery that surrounds Matisyahu's transformation from beatboxing, rapping, Hasidic reggae artist who burst onto the world stage with "King Without A Crown", to the clean-shaven rock-star we see today.
In a recent sit-down interview at his Beverly Hills home, we discussed the transformation, the songs, and ultimately the message of 'Spark Seekers'. Rather than abandon his fans, he feels that he has a responsibility to keep them informed of his journey.
"I have a responsibility [to convey] my message at any given time. As I am going through things in my life, I will write songs about them. Whether it is 'Shake off the Dust' and was 'Warrior' learning about Hasidus, and my life then, or my life now.
"Just like then, if not more than ever, I feel I have evolved. I don't look at myself at a downpoint in my life. The way I feel now, the wisdom that I have gained and the truth I feel I have found over the last 6 months, feels more up than ever in my life. I have gotten a taste of something that I have been searching for, for a long time, for my whole life."
Rather than thinking he will disappoint some of his more religious followers, he feels that he has an obligation to share with them his journey of spiritual self-discovery.
"Why would I not share what's going on - why because I'm afraid it may hurt people? I have led some people in a certain direction. There are certain kids who are ba'ale teshuva (newly religious) because my music has, at some point in their journey, had an influence on them. Now my life has changed, and I should end the story there? … If i am putting my life out to people there through music and art, there is a duty, you can't just decide to put some of it."
The third track on the album is called 'Searching' and discusses searching the soul for truth. This song includes deep Hasidic wisdom which permeated his first album "Shake off the Dust…Arise". A teacher can be heard saying, "In the earth there are so many wonderful treasures. And if you know where to dig, you will find gold and diamonds and all kinds of treasures. If you don't know where to dig, you find rocks and dirt. A Rebbe is a geologist of the soul. He can show where to dig and what to dig for, but the digging you must do yourself."
In the 24 months that Matisyahu worked on this album, one wonders if he found what he was looking for or is still searching. Did he find diamonds or did he find dirt?
"Did I find it?" he says, "I don't know if there is a such thing as finding it. But you find aspects of it, you find degrees of it. But when you actually figure out what it is — and that continually evolves as well — to actually have experienced something, and you know that that is what you want, that is authenticity. Authenticity with self, with others, with your art and with your music and with God. That is what I was looking for. Truth, in that sense. And that is what led me to let go of certain things."
Matisyahu has not abandoned Judaism, but he has let go of the Hasidic beard and garb which distinguished him. Instead of external trappings, Matisyahu wants his voice and music to speak for themselves, while he stays true to himself, his beliefs, and his spiritual journey.

Recent headlines casting doubt on the kosher status of Hebrew National at first came as somewhat of a relief. To those like myself who have avoided Hebrew National for years – first because they never allowed outside rabbinic supervision, but did all the supervision themselves, and then starting in the early 2000′s because they chose Triangle K — the lawsuit was a long time coming.
However ironically, instead of the lawsuit bringing about any kind of justice, the big loser in the end might be the kosher consumer. When the kosher supervision industry – and there are many reasons to be skeptical – receives a blow to its credibility, it affects everything that is under kosher supervision, not just meat. This may mean fewer companies choosing supervision down the road and fewer choices.
Triangle-K is a huge company. Sadly, unscrupulous companies and individuals have taken advantage of the consumer need for high level kosher supervision. As long as there is money to be made, there will be charlatans at play. Is Triangle-K one of them? It will be interesting to see how this plays out, to say the least.
Hebrew National. Even the name sounds authoritative. They have been named by Consumer Reports as the nation's best tasting hot dog. They have won numerous other awards and accolades. They are feted as one of great kosher additions to modern American cuisine.
However the "higher authority" they answer to might be called profits.
The lawsuit does not claim that Con Agra is "passing off pork as kosher products," said Hart L. Robinovitch, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs, told the American Jewish World. ". … And based on our investigation, there were certain things that weren't conducted properly, in a systematic way—from the way cows were slaughtered, to the way the lungs were inspected or not inspected for imperfections—as is required to meet the standard that the meat is 100 percent kosher."
If I were the lead attorney on this case I would not argue about something being "100% kosher." Among kosher consumers there is no unanimity about what is 100% kosher at all. In fact, one of the arguments that defendants ConAgra can make is that they represented their "level" of kosher supervision honestly by employing the Triangle-K.
The plaintiffs may need to show that Triangle-K were complicit somehow in fraudulently representing the status of their meat as complying with basic standards of orthodox supervision.
"This is an invisible fraud," the lead attorney in the case told told Reuters. "How does a consumer who thinks he is buying kosher meat really know he is buying kosher meat? It's a very, very difficult thing for a consumer to detect, unless someone investigates."
It's not hard to detect — it's impossible for a consumer to detect, which is why we rely on outside kosher supervision for meat. This last phrase really applies to the entire kosher industry. How DO we know that what is passed on to the consumer is really kosher? We don't. On the part of the consumer its 100% faith unless the product itself doesn't need supervision in the first place.
Stay tuned, this one will get interesting. In the meantime, pass the mustard, these soy dogs really need some added flavor.

Jewish organizations that are on the cutting edge are having a hard time making it to the next level. It's a worldwide phenomenon. Instead of getting to sustainability, they cannot access bridge or mezzanine funding to take themselves out of start-up mode.
As anyone in business will tell you: you can't stay in start-up mode. It's sink or swim.
In a brilliant article in the Forward, Dana Raucher the executive director of The Samuel Bronfman Foundation, demonstrates the significant challenges that Jewish innovation is facing, and a solution. "Organizations on the cusp of this "second stage" must find a way to professionalize their systems and staff, and to do this they often need additional financial resources just at the moment when the luster of their novelty is dimming/"
Raucher's article also highlights a comprehensive study commissioned by Bikkurim, From First Fruits to Abundant Harvest: Maximizing the Potential of Innovative Jewish Start-Ups. The study was overseen by an impressive study group and list of partners including The Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation, The Samuel Bronfman Foundation, NATAN, Lippman Kanfer Family Foundation, PELIE, and the UJA Federation of New York.
I wish that I could say that here at Jewlicious we know nothing of these obstacles. However, that is not the case. In fact, there are the exact issues that Jewlicious is facing now.
Over the past decade, the Jewish community has fostered these types of organizations, which often try out groundbreaking forms of outreach and mix contemporary culture with tradition. But ironically, especially when these initiatives become successful, they encounter new obstacles that demand they rethink how they can best achieve their missions….
This also echoes my own experience at The Samuel Bronfman Foundation, where we make long term, deep investments in nonprofit organizations. We have learned again and again that no organization's life cycle is completely linear. There are key points of inflection that present unique challenges and opportunities. Because we have been able to witness our grantees as they evolve, we have been involved in identifying and addressing these moments….
Second-stage growth requires nimbleness on the part of funders and organizations. By focusing on the mission and not the form through which it is driven, organizations are able to promote their institutional goals during each phase of their development. A commitment to a consistent set of core values may require shifts over time in both program orientation and organizational structures.
It is the responsibility of all stakeholders, including funders, professionals and lay leaders, to engage more publicly in this conversation. Today we are confronted with an opportunity to address an important need in the Jewish community, and together we must exchange ideas, share best practices and continue our support for this sector. Through collaboration and adaptability, we can better equip these organizations so that they don't falter as they transition to their next stage.

Ahad Ha'am, a great Zionist thinker and icon, knew that one of the keys to creating a thriving Jewish culture in Palestine, and among assimilating Jews in Europe, was reviving the ancient Hebrew language. While Hebrew had been relegated to books of law and philosophy for centuries, Ahad Ha'am and his contemporaries wiped away the dust, and revived the spoken language, creating a modern Hebrew culture.
More than 100 year's later Hebrew is again at the center of cultural transformation, with a novel program bringing Hebrew into Jewish homes—again.
Can a bunch of free Hebrew children's books preventing Israelis from disappearing into the melting pot of American culture? A pioneering program is being launched nationwide seeking to do just that.
While America has been a land of opportunity for hundreds of thousands of Israelis, it is also a place for where many lose their connections to the Jewish community. Sifriyat Pijama B'America, or the Pijama Library in America, is seeking to reunite Israelis and Jewish and Israeli-American culture.
The project is the brainchild of Adam and Gila Milstein, leaders in the Israeli American community in Los Angeles. "There are hundreds of thousands of Israeli families nationwide," said Milstein, "who are not affiliated." And that trend has him very worried about the future of the Israeli Jews in America.
Sifriyat Pijama B'America is a Hebrew language spin-off of a large and popular program called PJ Library, which sends thousands of Jewish-themed books for free into homes. The Hebrew sister project launched in 2011 and within weeks, 2,000 families signed up to receive monthly Hebrew language children's books that they can read to their children. The program was off to an amazing start. The organizers realized that just sending books was not enough, and looked for ways to make the program even more effective.
This summer, Sifriyat Pijama B'America is also launching a Jewish day school initiative, tying the book program to Jewish day schools in a novel way. The program brings participating families to register for the free program at local Jewish day schools around the country. By bringing the families to Jewish day schools, the organizers, Adam and Gila Milstein, the Israeli Leadership Council, the Avi Chai Foundation and The Harold Grinspoon Foundation, hope that these families will end up becoming more involved in Jewish education.
"The goal," said Adam Milstein, Sifriyat Pijama B'America's founder and champion, "is to get unaffiliated Israeli families more connected to Jewish education and life, and hopefully increase enrollment at Jewish day schools."
It's estimated that up to 1 million Israelis have immigrated to the United States since 1948. Their children tend to assimilate quickly, attend public schools, and maintain a highly secular Jewish lifestyle. But as Milstein points out, "being secular in America means assimilating and disappearing at a faster rate."
Sharon Barkan, a Hebrew teacher in Los Angeles, has enjoyed the books and feels it's an important part of raising her Israeli-American children. "For me words are the strongest thing there is," said Barkan, "these books are the connection my daughter now has to the Hebrew language." Reading the books with her kids has been, "a wonderful experience. And the beginning of each book has information and activities that we do with the kids."
The books chosen seem to resonate with their audience, "My daughter,' said Barkan, "likes to speak about the characters in the books - they are very compelling."
Milstein's main concern are children. "Many families are clearly not affiliated and connecting with Jewish education. And the victims are the kids, because the kids have no connection to Jewish life and Israel. That is why so important to bring into Jewish life and learning to them."
Registration is now open at 28 schools nationwide and online and can accommodate 6,000 families. The organizers hope that up to 50,000 people will be reached in this current year of the program. When families register, they have two year's of free books.
The books are chosen by a committee made up of representatives from the Israeli Ministry of Education, early childhood educators and psychologists to promote Jewish values. Each book contains instructions to the parents to help them teach the values that each book promotes. While the books are not religious in nature they contain Jewish themes and characters.
"It is much easier for Israel's to become unaffiliated from the Jewish community, than maintain a connection," said Milstein, "but we hope that through Jewish education, getting families active in passing on Jewish values and Hebrew language, that we can create a thriving and connected community of the future."
I am sure that in heaven Ahad Ha'am is smiling.

The power of teshuva can turn this hurtful incident into a one that teaches compassion and love.
Delmon should keep swinging the bat in a Tigers uniform because Judaism believes in the God of second chances. Judaism instructs us that we must give everyone the opportunity to make amends. In fact, I have a few suggestions that can make Delmon one of the most popular players in the Jewish community today.
When Young was arrested on April 27th, and charged with misdemeanor aggravated harassment and assault, Motown, the baseball world, and the Jewish community cringed in disbelief. Some called this the end of his short career.
Baseball commissioner Bud Selig, who is happens to be Jewish, suspended Young for seven days without pay. With a $6.75 million dollar salary, that added up to $258,000 in lost wages. The Tigers were prohibited from further disciplinary action because of baseball and the players' association labor agreement.
Young issued an apology to his friends, family, team and the community, and confessed that the whole incident was related to an alcohol problem that he will now address.
In a press conference before Saturday's game after the end of his suspension, Young said, "I made a lapse in judgment, but I can tell you that I am not an anti-Semitic. I wasn't raised that way, came from a good family, and we weren't taught any of that, especially growing up in a diverse area."
In fact it seems that the hardest part of the ordeal for Young is being branded an anti-Semite."Me branded being racist or bigoted, that's not me," he said. "I have a lot of diverse friends; I live in a diverse area; that's just not me or my character."
And while there is part of me and I am sure many other Jewish fans, who, every time that Delmon Young is going to approach the plate for the foreseeable future, will be reminded what happened, that doesn't have to be the case.
The entire essence of the Jewish High Holidays challenges us to seek out those that we have wronged and ask forgiveness. We ask God for forgiveness for what we did against God, and we ask friends and family to forgive us for how we let them down or hurt them in the previous year.
The Days of Awe compel us to believe that everyone deserves a second chance. Does this forgiveness extend to Delmon Young? You bet.
While the hurt in me thinks that Young and his number should be ejected from baseball, on further contemplation, that would be wrong.
Rather, let's give Young a chance to learn from his mistakes, become a spokesperson for tolerance and most importantly, let him become an ally of the Jewish community.
The power of teshuva can turn this hurtful incident into a one that teaches compassion and love.
Young knows that one apology can't convince people that he's not an anti-Semite and said, "I know it's going to take a while. I can't smooth this thing over and convince anyone after one speech, but just go out there every day and be a positive influence."
Delmon, if you sincerely make amends now you will be forgiven in an instant.
Here are some of my suggestions:
Delmon, I am sure that you can become not only a friend to the Jewish community, but that you can become a shining example of the power of teshuva, the power of the individual to transcend their shortcomings and become great.

Moran Samuel sat in her wheelchair on the dais after winning a gold medal in the rowing competition. She waited for the Hatikvah to start. And waited. And then a strange song started that sounded nothing like Hatikvah. She signaled that this was not the right song. What happened next you will never forget.
Moran Samuel was not always disabled. She awoke one day when she was 24 and was paralyzed from the chest down due to a rare stroke in her spine. Undeterred by her disability, she became the leading woman player in Israeli wheelchair basketball, and began rowing competitively.
She arrived in Italy ready to win her last competition before the paralympics in London. The Italians though were not as thoroughly prepared as Moran. They didn't have Hatikvah ready, maybe because they didn't think that an Israeli was going to win.
When Moran realized that they didn't have the music, she took the microphone, and sang it herself. See the video below courtesy of Mideasttruth.com

Los Angeles is home to more Israelis than many Israeli cities. And yet, last year the Israeli Festival was cancelled after falling on financial ruin, and a lack of general community support. It seemed that this most Israeli of American cities, was going to let Israeli Independence go by without a peep.
Then came Naty and Debbie Saidoff to the rescue.
The Saidoffs are major philanthropists, founding members of the Israeli Leadership Council and many other organizations. They were distraught thinking that Israeli Independence Day would not have a major celebration in Los Angeles. So instead of complaining, they rolled up their sleeves, got out their rolodex, and created a windfall of activity that is accomplishing in months, what it would have taken normal channels to accomplish in more than a year.
What drives a community member to do so much? I decided to have a heart to heart with Naty and see what makes him so passionate about community-wide celebration.
"I remember that 25 years ago, that Yom Haatzmaut meant that you walk through Jewish Los Angeles, until you can't walk anymore. We would push our strollers with our kids through the street, waving the Israeli flag. The whole city knew that it's was a special day. For the last 25 years the walk was MIA, because of logistics, it was expensive, many excuses, but none very good. The festival moved to Pan Pacific, and to the valley, and finally last year — there was nothing."
He continues, remarking on the dynamic cultural diversity of LA and the way the city embraces international community celebrations, but not one for Israel. "In a city like Los Angeles that has Chinese New Year where they shut down half the downtown, and huge commemorations of Cinco de Mayo, we need to have a day of the white and blue of Israel. We have 600k Jews and no major community event that celebrates the miracle and the marvel that is Israel. Since that last walk 25 years ago, we have lost a generations of kids riding in strollers through the streets."
Why is this year different than other years? Why are the Saidoffs — and their organization the Israeli Leadership Council — so determined to share their love of Israel with the next generation? It is simply because they know it is hard to stand up for Israel in today's political climate. "This year more than others, we have the BDS movement to delegitimize Israel. This past Sunday on 60 minutes, millions of people saw a Jewish reporter falsely accusing Israel of being anti-Christian. What they did is to say that "Israel is nice to you because they want your money, but really they are bad to you." In fact Israel is the only country in the middle east where Christians have any security….
"In this environment, not to celebrate Israel — and what Israel has done for the world — would be a shame. We need to celebrate the legitimacy of Israel.The question is not why have such a big celebration of Israel, the question how can we not have such a festival!"
This year's festival, in addition to a myriad of activities, booths, pavilions, stages and rides, highlights the interconnectedness of Jewish life and values with Americans life and values. The spirit of determination that energized the creation of the State of Israel in the face of opposition and destruction has been brought to Israeli life in Los Angeles - both to support and defend America and democracy.
"We are bringing an American war hero, Tibor Rubin, who is a survivor of the death camp, then joined the American army and won the medal of honor. Why? because if we cannot take for granted the lives that were sacrificed so that we can have our celebration. This celebration came at a real price, of life and limb. When we know the price that was paid, and the real cost of the festival and the cost of freedom, we can rejoice together."
Naty is happy with the reception the festival has gotten from the local neighborhood groups.
"What is amazing is the support from the neighborhood committee. Everyone thought that they would be against it, but they voted 11 to 1 to allow the Festival, and even that one who voted against it, is not in favor and handing out flyers. This is an unparalleled celebration of Israel…. You will see that as we celebrate, we also educate." In addition, Councilman Paul Koretz managed to get the permits expedited, and the city behind the celebration in record time.
Additionally, Naty underscores that the celebration of Israel is not just for Israelis, or not even just for Jews, "The Festival also allows our Christian brother and sisters that are devoted and devout, to show their expression of love for Israel."
Naty's enthusiasm is infectious. He is motivated by a deep love for America and Israel and a belief — strongly shared by me — that opportunities to celebrate create stronger bonds of community, in addition to identification with Israel and the Jewish people.
It's not easy in a city like LA, even with the enormous Jewish and Israeli-American population, to get everyone on board for a community wide event. But the main organizers, the Israeli Leadership Council, and partners StandWithUs, The LA Israeli Consulate, JLTV, the JNF, the Mati Israeli Community Center, Hidabroot, and The Jewish Federation have managed to pull in 100 local organizations, schools and other institutions to participate.
"We need to see action, to be instigators. We need to be Nachshon and cross, and jump in the water and see that something happens."

Science Friday (Office Hours with Michio Kaku)
Many of us spend more time at our desks than anywhere else. Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku takes us on a tour of his office, where he writes his bestsellers and records his radio shows. The futuristic 1950s TV show Flash Gordon jump-started his interest in science. Watching it as a kid, Kaku realized that it was the problem-solving scientist, not the chiseled crimefighter Flash, who was really the hero.

Oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) contains live attenuated poliovirus (Sabin strain types 1, 2 and 3) and is intended for polio prophylaxis in infants 6-12 weeks of age, all unimmunized children up to 18 years of age, and high-risk adults. Adults, however, should receive the inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV). The attenuated virus particles in OPV are harvested from monkey kidney cell cultures and undergo an extensive purification process. OPV is administered multiple times to ensure immunity to all three types of poliovirus. Clinical studies reveal that OPV is highly effective in preventing natural poliovirus-induced neurologic sequelae. OPV received FDA approval in1963.

Our home #energy efficiency experts - David Lee & Sam Rashkin - are answering your questions now. Send them to #askEnergy
Q1) Why are we not promoting LED lighting over CFL? #askEnergy
.@RupcoGJGNY We're technology neutral promoting LED & CFL lighting. DOE believes that LEDs ofter performance advantages once costs come down
#AskEnergy What physical actions can directly boost building efficiency and cut emissions? http://bit.ly/PjGjAs New #MIT #contest
.@ClimateCoLab You could use a set back thermostat or simply set home's temperatures higher in summer & lower in winter
.@ClimateCoLab Make sure the water heater is set to 125 degrees max, use CFL or LEDs for lighting in the home
Attic Insulation | @ParetoEnergy http://bit.ly/r23UMa How to know if you have enough insulation (in your attic). @Energy #AskEnergy
.@ParetoEnergy 2012 IECC R-49 up north, R-38 in the middle & R-30 south, don't forget air sealing and air barriers! #askEnergy
We are considering spray foam insulation for our under-home crawl space; the expense is significant. Can we get tax credits? #askenergy
.@Solar_Amy (1/2) Spray foam is a great solution for under-floor insulation, but it no longer qualifies for tax credits #askEnergy
.@Solar_Amy (2/2) Spray foam is expensive, but it will save $ and improve comfort, indoor air quality and durability. #askEnergy
@ENERGY be careful recommending under floor insulation to @Solar_Amy, creates mold and reduces home durability. FYI #AskEnergy
.@ParetoEnergy @Solar_Amy That's why we like products like CCSprayfoam that inherently seal and block moisture flow. #askEnergy
@Energy #askEnergy Which is a greater inhibitor to increased home energy efficiency, "habit" or "initial expense"?
.@eesmc Generally homeowners balk at the initial price. that is why much of DOE's research focuses on reducing costs #askEnergy
How does @Energy see home #solar PV and hot water fitting into the EE equation? #askenergy
.@Solar_Amy DOE always recommends maximizing energy efficiency before solar, but both are important part of the solution #askEnergy
@ENERGY Most states agree and require energy audits before giving solar rebates. Same goal - reducing grid strain and energy use. #askenergy
Q from email: I want to install a propane tankless waterheater, but the cost seems high. Is it worth it & are there rebates? #askEnergy
A: A tankless system will save 20% over conventional. Look at your water bill and see if extra cost is worth the savings #askEnergy
How does @ENERGY decide which technologies are tax credit eligible? And how important are credits to EE measure adoption? #askenergy
.@Solar_Amy U.S. Congress sets tax credits. They have been very successful in reducing the cost of more expensive technologies #askEnergy

The Church of Scientology, Vanity Fair and an astonishing lawyer's letter
"It is inconceivable (to the entire world) that Mr. Cruise would have difficulty getting a girlfriend," writes a lawyer for the Church.
By Helen Lewis Published 10 September 2012 15:04In its most recent issue, Vanity Fair published a piece by Maureen Orth on the Church of Scientology, which encompassed the relationship between its leader, David Miscavige, and its most famous adherent, Tom Cruise.
The magazine put 32 questions to the Church (and if you think that's a lot, remember the New Yorker asked it 1,000 queries for its mega-long profile of Paul Haggis, "The Apostate").
The questions elicited a furious response, delivered via Jeffrey K. Riffer, of the law firm Elkins Kalt Weintraub Reuben Gartside LLP. The Church has posted the missive on its media response site [PDF].
It is quite unlike any lawyer's letter I have ever seen before. Here are some extracts:
We are writing regarding your, your editor's and reporter's shoddy journalism, religious bigotry and potential legal liability arising out of Vanity Fair's upcoming story about the Tom Cruise divorce. Significantly, while Maureen Orth was preparing her story, Vanity Fair ignored its staff and contributors who have firsthand knowledge of Mr. Cruise and of Mr. Miscavige and who would burden her story with the truth.
... Her request for an "interview" of Mr. Miscavige was a disingenuous sham, since she couldn't possibly have thought that an "Oh, by the way" phone call to the Church's Public Affairs office requesting an interview with the ecclesiastical leader of the religion could possibly be accommodated. If she were serious, she would have done at least a molecule of research in seeing that Mr. Miscavige travels across the country and around the world almost non-stop, unlike the anti-Scientologist apostate sources who form the basis of her already-written story and who are available on a moment's notice at the press of "send" on any anti-Scientology hate-site blog. Is it usual for you to take over the editorial direction of Vanity Fair articles or is that reserved for hatchet-jobs of minority religions and its members?
Jeffrey K. Riffer did not like the thrust of the story:
Vanity Fair, which once had a reputation for journalistic integrity, is now reduced to asking the leader of a religion in its 32nd, and final question: "Would David Miscavige comment on the notion that he has been a kind of third wheel in Tom Cruise's relationships and marriages?" Mr. Miscavige is the ecclesiastical leader of a worldwide religion; a man of impeccable character who is dedicated to his faith and to the service of its parishioners. He respects the institution of marriage and those who enter into it.
Jeffrey K. Riffer does not like people denigrating David Miscavige's achievements, which are monumental:
Mr. Miscavige is the leader of a dynamic global religion expanding across five continents. His duties are herculean and accomplishments monumental. He is not a "third wheel" to anything or anyone. Ms. Orth is apparently willing to besmirch Mr. Miscavige's reputation based on unreliable sources to sell magazines, while ignoring the decades of his tireless service to advance the Scientology religion as well as its international humanitarian programs for all mankind, while also ignoring reliable sources available at her discretion, e.g., Vanity Fair employees who know Mr. Miscavige personally, including a Vanity Fair employee who works for Mr. Miscavige in a professional capacity.
Jeffrey K. Riffer thinks that the story amounts to bigotry:
Ms. Orth appears to have only gleaned her information from fringe hate sites and their webmasters. If she were writing a story about a Sikh religious leader, would she first latch onto the sites of white supremacists, then interview their most virulent and violent members and follow it up with mere "fact check" questions to the Sikhs themselves? At the eleventh hour? And refuse to give the names of her white supremacist sources?
The scenario is no different here. Scientology is a new religion and its beliefs not as well known as those of more ancient history. That does not excuse you or Ms. Orth for being ignorant. Rather, it demands you be even more sensitive to finding out what the true beliefs are of Scientology-which can only be told by the religion itself. Just because you don't think you are bigoted doesn't mean you aren't. Bigotry and ignorance go hand in hand and you are definitely and wilfully ignorant of the actual beliefs of Scientology and the activities of its Churches.
Jeffrey K. Riffer thinks it's ludicrous to suggest that Tom Cruise would have difficulty finding a girlfriend:
Mr. Miscavige has never had any involvement with the hiring of Mr. Cruise's professional staff or press agents, certainly has never spoken to Mr. Cruise's sister about them and allegations of joking around about Mr. Cruise's romantic relations are manifestly false since it is inconceivable (to the entire world) that Mr. Cruise would have difficulty getting a girlfriend. This goes beyond not wanting to dignify a question with a response, but goes to the credibility and ethics of your journalist.
Jeffrey K. Riffer feels really, really let down by Vanity Fair:
If Vanity Fair goes forward with publication of such defamatory allegations, now that it is on notice that the story is false, the stain on its reputation will last long after any reader even remembers the article. The sting of the jury verdict will last longer still; far longer than any pleasure from racing to publish a poorly researched and sourced story.
You can read the full letter here. Hat-tip to Hadley Freeman.
32 comments
This letter if not written by David Miscavige, it was totally approved by the evil midget. For a who stands at 5 foot 2 inches, he has the ego the size of the Statue of Liberty. He travels to deliver his Dan Sherman-written speeches to small crowds of Scientologists at Ideal Org openings. Other than that he's in his bunker hiding from the world and any non-Scientologist that might question him about his missing wife, Shelly Miscavige, and the brutal treatment he's dished out on the 100+ executives he's had incarcerated in the 'Hole' in Hemet, California.
Maybe David Miscavige was too busy to give an interview to Maureen Orth. But was there no one in the Church of Scientology who could given an interview for him?
Why the lawyer's letter? Asking for an interview is not a crime.

Just so long as Tom does not get up on a soap-box.
Cruise Control
I'm neither a Scientologist nor particularly a fan of Tom Cruise, but really, is there any known reason the head of the religion should be micromanaging one individual member's life? The Pope has more to do than follow one Catholic Hollywood star around and be his "third wheel". I expect the same of the current Mormon President/Prophet vis-a-vis, say, Mitt Romney. A lawyer's letter on behalf of either of those two religious leaders, saying much the same thing, might come off just as arrogant, but would very likely be true.
Scientology has a steady stream of suicides, strange deaths, defectors and thousands of eye witness accounts of mental and emotional abuse to members recorded over decades of time.
Religions like Catholicism, Protestantism and Mormonism may have a number of silly beliefs (as pointed out by the Southpark writers of The Book of Mormon) but there are hardly a stream of damaged members crawling out of secret compounds with stories of forced abortions, beatings, child labor and disconnections between loved ones.
This is why Scientology is a dangerous cult, NOT a religion.
I agree about the Pope, but the Mormons are a small, ambitious and well-organized group, and I would think it very likely that Mormon leadership is closely involved with Mitt Romney's campaign.
Jeff, I wouldn't be surprised if many Mormons (leaders and otherwise) vote for Mitt Romney, just as many American Catholics voted for JFK. But JFK took great care to distance himself and his campaign from church leadership precisely to avoid rousing fears that his administration would be church-guided. I expect Romney has taken the same precaution with regard to his campaign and Mormon leadership. If he hadn't, there'd have been headlines by now.
this letter greatly reminds me of the stuff i've seen come out of that church when they've gone on the attack against the st. petersburg times (now the tampa bay times). very oddly familiar language and style.
i have to say this. the totally creep me out.
Cruise is prettty short isn't he. Perhaps Mr Riffer doesn't know that a lot of women prefer taller men?
Dm is a very busy man in the building of boxes to his slaves.
Anyone who has had anything to do with Scientology can plainly see that David Miscavige wrote that letter.
Hubbard didn't forsee the informational resources of the internet...
It simply amazes me that anyone with even half a brain cell can't see straight through this utterly ridiculous excuse for a religion. It boggles my mind to think that there are actually people out there who are taken in by this fraudulent codswallop. How incredibly stupid must they be? How unmitigatedly thick as shit Tom Cruise must be! I understand that human stupidity knows no bounds, but this is just taking the micky!
Ah but you are missing a crucial point here! Scientologists do not believe homosexuality exists (not that it's 'bad', it just does not exist!). If you were Tom Cruise, and wanted to stay in a closet, what better religion to choose...?!
Those wackos who work for the cult, are just this crazy and over the top as this letter. They do not even realize how ridiculous they sound because they are brainwashed to worship and revere David Miscavige. This crazy letter from their lawyer confirms what most of all ready think! Nice job lawyer for the cult.
But is it Scientological Hair Removal?
"There's an ass for every seat!" (P.T. Barnum) - The Only reasons Scientology addresses itself as a religion is the Tax breaks and Religious Freedom Protections it receives for covering it's crimes against it's members and society. The only similarity it has to a real religion is that it produces fanatics whom are blinded to common human decency, kindness, and love in the name of their baited goal of clearing the planet (while providing another Ferrari, perhaps, for their money motivated leader)
Scientology: one can find adequate reference for the following-file under and cross-ref with brainwashing, unusual punishment, false imprisonment, torture, scams, criminal activity, Theft of Government materials, lying under oath, felony endangerment, bribery, falsification of documents, destruction of evidence, perpetuation of a crime, RICO, forced abortion and destruction of life, running Ponzi schemes and false loan applications through it's members, filing false charges, human trafficking, perpetrating a fraud upon the public and government for financial gain, using the US Postal Service and government representatives to perpetrate a fraud, malicious prosecution, kidnapping, murder, failing to report income, failing to report wages and f.i.c.a, etc.
The phrase 'Ill-advised' springs to mind.
That letter is just laughable. No one is buying Tom Cruise or his Scientology crap anymore.
I wonder why a scientology perfected human being such as Tom Cruise would be so imperfect at choosing a lifelong mate. He is supposed to be a homo nuvis like all others in scientology who've reached OTVIII and therefore can move in and out of his body, move matter around at will and be a perfect communicator with other beings. Remember his words "we are the authority". They are evidenced not to be authorities on relationships. Over the last 3 months I have read 100's of stories of divorce, discommunication, and defections by long time practicing scientologists. Shouldn't they be the ideal, the cleared the supreme? And please please could someone investigate where Shelly Miscavige (David Miscaviges' wife) is and not just by a letter from a lawyer. I've read of dozens of people in the upper echelons of scientology who've not been seen by their family members for years. No tue religion in this day and age hides away its members.
"Mr. Miscavige is the leader of a dynamic global religion expanding across five continents."
really? i thought he was just the leader of that cult called Scientology..?
Female Facial Hair removal remedies
Facial becomes common to women for many reasons. Some women have unwanted hair on face that can cause quite an embarrassment for them. Most cultures consider heavy facial hair on women not that attractive, because this can make women look less feminine. This common notion about women's facial hair makes a lot of women look for removal methods, which can help them improve their looks. In addition, now days these problems are facing by all ages of people.
There are several methods on women facial hair removal that can either give temporary or permanent results. Depending on the result that you want to achieve, you can consider these common methods and choose the one you think will work best:
Temporary Facial Hair Removal Methods for Women
Three of the most common temporary face hair removal methods are shaving, using tweezers or waxing. Not a lot of women would prefer to shave their facial hair, as they find it either messy or difficult. Many women also believe that frequent shaving will make the hair grow harder the next time, and can also cause bumps on the skin. At last it seems to be difficult.
Using tweezers may be time consuming and may be quite painful. It may result to redness and skin bumps as well. Women usually use tweezers to shape their eyebrows, but not frequently to remove hair on the upper lip or the chin.
The most common temporary method of facial hair removal for women is waxing. By using cloth strips with wax which are placed on the eyebrows, upper lip or the chin, hair and some dead skin cells on these areas get attached to the strips, which will then be pulled quickly, leaving the skin hairless and smooth.
Using of the chickpeas in facial not only remove hair in face, but also make the skin smooth. Grind the chickpeas into powder. Add the milk cream or raspberry cream into the grounded chickpeas. Apply it in the face. Wait for it to dry. After 30 minutes, remove it using cold water. It is simply a home facial hair removal method for women which softens the skin too.
There are lot of facial hair removal creams are available on the market which provides better solution.
All these temporary hair removal methods only remove hair on the skin, and not the roots of the hair, which means it will regrow again in a matter of days. It is very much important to choose the best facial hair removal remedies that would help you to remove unwanted hairs permanently.

The Best Home Hair Removal remedy - Silk'n SensEpil
Women always wanted have a long hair in their head that makes them beauty. However, even a little bit of unwanted hair in face made them irritating and disgusting.

Few of them work fine and few of them cause trouble. It is important to find permanent hair removal at home, which should be cost effective, safe and will be the solution for all your needs.
Everyone wants to remove hair permanently at home. Here below I describe some of the finest home remedies for hair removal, which are effective.

I wonder if Scientology paid Riffer enough to not care that everyone is laughing at him. A word to the wise: NEVER sign your name to a letter written by David Miscavige.
Good find.
While it's easy to laugh at the combined pompousness and creepiness of " ignoring reliable sources ..., e.g., Vanity Fair employees who know Mr. Miscavige personally," the American TV station ABC announced a followup interview in the Sept 7th edition of 20/20 but replaced it at the last moment (with, ehrm. videos about or by cats or some-such earth-shattering story). So, the influence of the criminal organization known as the "church" of $cientology is perhaps not entirely a joking matter at the moment.
Remains to be seen why David Miscavige being referred to as a "third wheel" in Tom Cruise's marriage requires such strong reaction when new stories of deaths at narCONon occasion little more than simple lies.
Guys, let the religion aspect go. Focus on K.S.W. Up-heave Miscaviage. Demand more from Travolta. Get him to push out David and convince John to take over. Otherwise join the free-zone and practice the tech properly. It does work outside of R.T.C.'s degrades. Christopher Cloutier. (Original Flag Trained Word-clearer pushed out of post after demanding help and support from R.T.C. and R.T.R.C. (Dan Koon) . I placed Miscaviage in Treason before leaving during my 6th Committee of Evidence. 1998. Dan Koon has also left the Church. Great work Dan.
Just because Miscavige thinks his cult is a religion doesn't mean it is.
Also, "I'm going to hit you so hard your ancestors will feel it. Your momma etc etc".
Everytime I see someone from the Church of Scientology describe Scientology as a religion I experience a sudden realisation that they think they're somehow a religion.
Somebody really needs to take the leading Scientologists aside and say to them: 'This kind of thing does not make you look less crazy'.
Cruise seems to have difficulty keeping a wife. Why would it be surprising that he has trouble finding one? He wants a woman who will believe or totally buy into Scientology cuckoo. That takes a lot of careful screening.
Mimi Rogers was a Scientologist and Cruise's first wife. She no longer participates or believes in Scientology. Nicole and Katie both proved to be not brainwashable. Cruise is doing a great job at bringing his own cult down, and showing the impossibility of "clearing the planet" with L. Ron Hubbard's nutty scam.
When will you muggles realise that Scientology is not a money making cult but in fact a bona fide religion. The philosopher's stone was revealed to our founder JK Rowling many years ago. Scientology is also endorsed by some of the biggest companies in Britain, as witnessed by the the plaque in honour of platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross station.

rear main oil seal
I have the rear main bearing cap off of my 308 and would like to know which rear main seal I should replace the worn one with. I purchased a new neoprene seal from Dale Cooper that is a direct fit therefore I want to use this one because it is easier for one thing and should be better. I also have the old type seal that has to be formed to fit, anyone use the new neoprene seal and have success?
Thank You -
To replace the packing type, you have to remove the trans and the flywheel. The upper half is held in by 3 bolts and don't know if you can slip the old packing out without damage to the crank seal surface. I just bought a neoprene seal from Dale and am going to install it into a 53 Super Wasp but will pull the trans and flywheel. Give Dale a ring and see what he says. Walt.
Thank you, and yes I am going to pull the transmission for the upper half. Dale said it is the real deal, so if Walt is going to use the new seal that is more than good enough for me. When I removed the bearing cap the old seal was stuck in the slot, so the to top seal will be impossible to remove without scoring the slot where it goes, maybe the new seal will be easier to remove and install. However the transmission, flywheel, etc need to be cleaned and easier when removed.
I just had mine replaced while they where doing my clutch. I bought the neoprene one. I don't know how hard it was for them but he didn't say anything bad about the seal. He said he would have to drop the oil pan in order to do it right. The seal was two pieces and it came with a piece of string.
You can replace without taking off the tranny. Just loosen up the 2,3rd mains. About a 2 hour job all together. Done it a few times
Walt here, how did you remove the upper half?
no just changed the "rope seal" not the packing

Originally a busy outdoor food market called the Gansevoort Market, the Meatpacking District eventually grew to become the center of meat distribution for the city. While its traditional borders run from West 14th Street South to Gansevoort Street and from Hudson River East to Hudson Street, the neighborhood has been gradually expanding since the late 1990s, when a place that used to be considered rather shady, began to experience a revitalization.
In the last decade, most of the warehouses have been converted into world class galleries, showrooms, boutiques, clubs and high-end restaurants. The once entirely industrial area offers large, loft spaces perfect for hosting NYC's world-class style, which has flamboyantly arrived to a seemingly unlikely destination.

18" Zinc Extension Flush Bolt
Easy and quick
Once I found what I was looking for, (I didn't know it was called a "flush bolt", so the pix on the website were super helpful) - the rest was a cinch. The stuff arrived 8 days before they said it would!! After I installed the flush bolt, I got an email from them saying "your order has shipped" so the email was a little out of sync, but in my favor, so I didn't care.

18" bolt
I build custom doors and needed a longer bolt for an 8' door I was making. These work perfect in an astragal with a 5/8" thick neck. Decent quality as well.

Morphine is an opioid pain medication. An opioid is sometimes called a narcotic.
Morphine is used to treat moderate to severe pain. Short-acting morphine is taken as needed for pain. Extended-release morphine is for use when around-the-clock pain relief is needed.
Morphine is not for treating pain just after surgery unless you were already taking morphine before the surgery.
Morphine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
You may not be able to take this medicine unless you are already being treated with a similar opioid pain medicine and your body is tolerant to it. Talk with your doctor if you are not sure you are opioid-tolerant.
Morphine may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person for whom it was prescribed. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it.
Do not drink alcohol while you are using morphine. Dangerous side effects or death can occur when alcohol is combined with morphine. Check your food and medicine labels to be sure these products do not contain alcohol.
Never take morphine in larger amounts, or for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Tell your doctor if the medicine seems to stop working as well in relieving your pain.
Do not stop using morphine suddenly after long-term use, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to avoid withdrawal symptoms when you stop using morphine.
Do not use this medicine if you have ever had an allergic reaction to a narcotic medicine (examples include methadone, morphine, Oxycontin, Darvocet, Percocet, Vicodin, Lortab, and many others), or to a narcotic cough medicine that contains codeine, hydrocodone, or dihydrocodeine.
You should also not take morphine if you are having an asthma attack, or if you have a bowel obstruction called paralytic ileus.
Do not use morphine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects.
To make sure you can safely take morphine, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
a blockage in your digestive tract (stomach or intestines);
asthma, COPD, sleep apnea, or other breathing disorders;
liver or kidney disease;
underactive thyroid;
curvature of the spine;
a history of head injury or brain tumor;
epilepsy or other seizure disorder;
low blood pressure;
gallbladder disease;
Addison's disease or other adrenal gland disorders;
enlarged prostate, urination problems;
mental illness; or
a history of drug or alcohol addiction.
Morphine may be habit forming and should be used only by the person for whom it was prescribed. Never share morphine with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it.
You may not be able to take morphine unless you are already being treated with a similar opioid pain medicine and your body is tolerant to it. Talk with your doctor if you are not sure you are opioid-tolerant.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether morphine will harm an unborn baby. Morphine may cause addiction or withdrawal symptoms in a newborn if the mother takes the medication during pregnancy. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using morphine.
Morphine can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Older adults and those who are ill or debilitated may be more likely to have serious side effects.

Eagles can't get out of their own way in loss to Kansas City
ABOVE PHOTO: Michael Vick threw two interceptions in the Eagles loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
(Photo by Webster Riiddick.)
By Chris Murray
For the Chris Murray Report and the Philadelphia Sunday Sun
If there was ever a time for the Eagles to start working out the kinks in their uptempo offense, the 10-day break until their next game against the Denver Broncos might be a good time as any.
In their 26-16 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Eagles (1-2) looked like a team that had played three games in 11 days. The offense was sluggish, woefully inconsistent and could never find any rhythm mainly because of their self-inflicted wounds.
As brilliant as Michael Vick has been in the first two weeks, he was wretchedly out of sync this week. He was 13-of-30 for 201 yards with one touchdown and two horrific interceptions-one of which was returned for a touchdown- and a fumble. He was sacked four times.
"We had the turnover, then we got a score and then we come back with good field position and have another turnover," said Vick. "We're moving the ball and then we have another turnover. It's hard to get into rhythm and the next thing you know it's halftime."
In Vick's defense, Eagles receivers had a difficult time getting open and that forced him to hold onto the ball a little longer than usual. Birds head coach Chip Kelly said his team did a poor job of executing and winning their one-on-one matchups.
"We gave up too much pressure tonight," Kelly said. "A lot of times they're rushing just four and they're getting to the quarterback quickly. You know, we're not even getting to the top of our drop and we're getting too much on them. We can't put Mike in a lot bad situations."
With the exception of running back LeSean McCoy, the entire offense couldn't seem to get out of the way of themselves with a combination of turnovers and penalties. For the game, the Eagles rolled up 421 of total offense, but committed four turnovers.
"It's about execution and that's what this game is all about, we have to come back and not put ourselves in these situations," Kelly said. "You can't turn the ball over like that and expect to win. We can move the football up and down the field. We've proven that.
"But if we're going to put the ball on the ground as we did in the first half and throw interceptions that's not going to win games for us."
McCoy had another big game on the ground for the Eagles, gaining 158 yards on 20 carries. He said if the Eagles offense can stay away from making mistakes, they are unstoppable.
"I really don't think there is a defense out there that can physically beat us," McCoy said. "It's a matter of us as an offense going out there and playing well. If we do not play well, it shows. I do not think it's a matter of the defense stopping us."
Meanwhile, the Eagles much-maligned defense played well for the most part and kept the Chiefs offense out of sync. But the killer situation in the game came late in the fourth quarter.
In that fourth quarter, the Eagles cut the Kansas City lead to seven on a 41-yard a touchdown run by McCoy. On their next possession, the Chiefs went on a 15-play, 76-yard drive that consumed eight-minutes and 15 seconds of the clock. The Chiefs march finished with a 38-yard field goal by Ryan Succup.
The big play on that drive was on third down from the Kansas City five-yard line. Just when it looked like the defense was going to hold the Chiefs to a three-and-out, Alex Smith found Donnie Avery for a 15-yard gain to keep the drive going.
"We've got to get off the field on those big third down plays and get the ball back in the hands of the offense as fast as you can, especially in situations like that," said Eagles strong safety Nate Allen.
+ Top Story
The Eagles 24-16 win over the Washington Redskins Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field was a stark contrast to where this team was last season going into a bye-week. Last year, the last game the Eagles played before their bye-week was a heartbreaking loss to the Detroit Lions...
Mychal Kendricks was a rookie when the Eagles struggled through last year's 4-12 season in which the defense blew games late in the fourth quarter or just got outright blown off the field. Quarterbacks like Atlanta's Matt Ryan and Washington's Robert Griffin III had field days carving up the Birds defense.
With Washington's prolific goal-scorer Alexander Ovechkin out with an upper body injury and his teammates playing the final game of a five-game road trip, you would think that this would be an opportunity for the Flyers to score a few goals and possibly steal a win.

Carlson's Non-Ported Turkey Choke Tubes
Designed for the serious turkey hunter, each tube has been specifically bored to throw the optimum pattern at short and long distances. Manufactured from aircraft stainless steel with a blue non-reflective finish. Color: Black.
Rated 5 out of 5 by 4
Rated 5 out of 5 by dsunday Good Choke, Good Price
I screwed this choke into my Benelli M2 and have tagged out in KS, dropping gobblers at 45 and 30 yards. The pattern of Winchester Supreme 3 inch number 5's is exceptional. I don't know if this combination will ethically reach out and kill birds at 70 yards like some other chokes/ammo/hunters claim, but for me, it works great. I personally can't afford hundred dollar chokes and ammo that costs 5 or 10 bucks a round.
The only gripe I have is that the metal is very dull, and almost looks like it could rust very easily, so I'm making sure it always has a good coat of RemOil this off season.

The choke patterned well and was very reasonable in price. I shoot 3 inch magnum,No 5# shot in my turkey gun. Im very satified with the chokes performance in my remington auto,spr 345

Rated 5 out of 5 by ducky This choke is awesome
This is an amazing choke tube, My dad bought a Beneili M2 with crio barrels and got a carlson .665 choke. At forty five yards with wingmaster HD #6 and it put 40 hits in the bone. Last season I called up a 18lb bird for a buddy who killed it at nine steps the bird was decapataed no beak. Awesome choke try it.

And the winner is.... OzzyKP!
Apolyton Civilization Site congratulates OzzyKP for winning the Civilization 5: Gods & Kings review contest.
OzzyKP wrote a lengthy review of the latest civ expansion and dressed it up with pictures and screenshots. It's clear that a lot of work has been put into this piece of work. OzzyKP tries to give a nuanced write up about the latest civ incarnation and is able to stay away from both mindless hate and fanboy love. His conclusion shows this off quite well: "Overall the expansion is decidedly an improvement. But not enough of one to ultimately fix a flawed game. That said, I did enjoy the few games I played."
OzzyKP will receive a free copy of the game by having Apolyton pay for his Gods & Kings purchase.
Congrats again, OzzyKP! And Keep on civin...!

Plomp is a bigger troll than I am. What a failure of an administrator he is.
It was a all encompassing review of the entire Civilization franchise told from the point of view of a single infantry unit. He commits suicide in the end after when the enemy sending one unit after another to their deaths made him realize the horror and futility of war.

I suspect this Civ5 forum would die out from lack of activity if it weren't for people like Wiggy coming in and stirring things up with abuse.
