The 16 All-Time Best Backyard Party Ideas
What you never see on Pinterest: the tired and possibly broke woman who threw that elaborate soiree for 50. Do it the laid-back REDBOOK way and you won't even break a sweat (until you start dancing, that is).
By Virginia VanZanten
Get crafty with your table
Take a roll of brown kraft paper and run it the length of your table: Not only does it have a rustic-chic appeal, it's also cheap and can go straight into the recycling bin when you're done. If you've got time (or want to keep the kids out of your hair with a craft project), "paint on it," suggests style expert Robert Verdi. "Do something simple like polka dots or go all out and trace the place settings. You can even write out guests' names or initials in lieu of place cards. But don't worry about being perfect—it's supposed to look handmade."
Steal from the garden. Huge floral arrangements can look luxe, but you'll get the same bang for zero bucks by using greens clipped from your backyard. "I hosted a small dinner party and didn't have a lot of time or money to spend," says Becca Gorski, an event planner and the blogger behind Cake Events & Design. "So I cut a few branches from each of the different trees in our yard and laid them down the middle of my table as a centerpiece."

Statement of Need
Cardiovascular disease is the leading health care problem throughout the world. In theUnited States alone, an estimated 70 million people have been diagnosed with one or more forms of cardiovascular disease (CV), and over 910,000 Americans die from CV disease each year. The cardiac care team is increasingly asked to develop systems of care, the methods for which are not necessarily part of the traditional medical training. We are asked to do this better, faster, more efficiently and at a lower cost.
Overall Goal
Physicians and cardiac care associates are required to maintain up-to-date knowledge of the latest clinical developments in the practice of cardiology to improve patient outcomes. The overall goal of this activity is to increase learner competence by discovering strategies to anticipate research-driven changes in practice, to enhance professional growth, and to demonstrate efficacy in team based patient care practice as new clinical approaches and technologies change. Physicians and cardiac care associates are required to maintain up-to-date knowledge of the latest clinical developments in the practice of cardiology to improve patient outcomes. The Ohio Chapter-ACC Spring Summit will include education that provides needs-based learning covering a thorough overview of important cardiovascular updates.
Learner Objectives
Upon completion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Analyze the role of palliative and hospice care for the end stage cardiac patient.
- Discuss the interaction of pharmacological agents for the cardiovascular patient.
- Recognize the clinical and electrocardiographic features of long QT syndrome and recognize the treatment options.
- Integrate latest guidelines and evidence-based research in an effort to make appropriate therapeutic decisions to guide appropriate evaluation strategies of patients with syncope.
- Employ latest advancements in the management of patients the heart failure patient.
Target Audience
Adult Cardiologists, Pediatric Cardiologists, Cardiothoracic Surgeons, Cardiology Fellows-in-Training, Internal Medicine Physicians, Private Practice Physicians, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Physician Assistants, Pharmacists
ACCF Disclosure & COI Policy Statement

Goal of Module 1: To provide a cultural background for your HIV/AIDS prevention and intervention program.
There are many layers of diversity within any culture. When learning about Native cultures, it is important to acknowledge the differences between various tribes, nations, villages, and islands. These differences can occur among groups within a single geographical region or across various regions. Although it is impossible to learn the unique characteristics of each Native entity, it is possible to recognize and better understand a specific group's customs, norms, beliefs, and values in order to gain a distinct cultural perspective.
This module discusses the role of culture in HIV/AIDS prevention, intervention, and care.

1950 Indian Motorcycle

1950 Indian motorcycle with vertical 149 cc engine. I have had this bike for awhile with all of the intentions of finishing the restoration, making a few changes, and riding, however, we now have another baby on the way and I simply don't have the time. (Other things are taking priority.) It runs great but needs adjustments made to the carburetor and a few other odds and ends to be road worthy. From my research, it appears to be a 250 frame with a 149 vertical motor. The motor's number plate i...

Weekend Fluff: Little White LiesPosted by: Saresa in Everyday WoWing, Humour
I was doing a spot of reading here and there, and I read something that didn't quite ring true to me. Nothing unusual for the internet, just one of those random comments you see on news articles about celebrities occasionally "I'm six ft tall, blonde, thin and gorgeous, and look JUST like this celebrity, only hotter!" yadayadayada. Anyway, it got me thinking:
What are some of the white lies (or perhaps not so white?) lies we tell in WoW?
I know I can think of a few I have done:
– "Of course I am defense capped!" (I was only a smidgen off!)
– "Yep, I have run this heaps of times… I know what I am doing!"
– "I don't have a healing offset, sorry"
– "What do you mean, 'Did you repair before the raid?' Of course I did!" (as I heal with broken pants)
– "I know I have a flask in these bags somewhere…"
– "I am confident I can do x amount of DPS" (While thinking 'OMG OMG I am so boned')
– "Ooops, the cat just jumped on the keys. Sorry!" (to be fair, this one is also sometimes true)
And a couple I have been sorely tempted to do….
– [Alt + F4] "Oh no, I've disconnected! I can't get back in! I guess you'll just have to replace me"
– "Whatever gave you the impression I'm a girl? I'm a guy, seriously" (OK, OK, so sometimes I think it would be easier to pretend I'm male in certain groups. Is that really a crime?)
And some I have seen….
– "Well, my main is [insert class here], and I'd just like to say, you're doing it all wrong"
– "I'm a girl, honestly… that's my male roommate talking on vent for me"
– "I always Main Tank for my guild, and I never have aggro problems with them"
– "I did not fall asleep at the keyboard!"
– "I've had 30 drinks before raid… lets go!" (what is it with people exaggerating how much they have had to drink to a STUPID extent!?!?)….. (although, when raiding with Aussies, this may actually be true. There is no Aussie in Moderation).
What sorts of white lies have you told in the game?Tags: Dungeons, Groups, Lies, Raiding, Repairs

How the Left's hands are tied just as any wage slave out there
This tweet which came my way just now lays bare how corrupting and irrelevant to ordinary people's needs political parties have now become:
As @umairh said the other day "politicians are cowering middle managers for a growing global plutocracy" Politics must change Not the party
Meanwhile, Chris explains clearly what he thinks is wrong on the separate matter of ideology in film funding:
However, when an intelligent man says something so silly, something must be at work. That something is ideology. What we see in Cameron's remark is an extreme manifestation of managerialism – a belief that something unpredictable (the public's film tastes) can in fact be foreseen in advance by experts in government.
And he concludes thus:
In this sense, managerialism is a truly powerful ideology, as its blinds its possessors to the fact that it is (to say the least) a partial and contestable view of the world.
I would go further. Managerialism, as thus defined, and I am pleased to stumble across such an understandable definition so unmumblingly phrased, is a prime example of an ideology which claims to be outside ideology. Blair and New Labour's magpie-like Third Way – extraordinary button-pressers who managed to convert us all into robotic responders to the encouragements and even impositions of nudging policy-making and statements – are in this sense true sons and daughters of capitalism: the prime anti-ideological construct in all our societies.
And all, also, clearly prime examples where politicians choose the cowardly road of not taking obvious ownership for re-engineering entire societies. A lesson which Cameron has learned rather well (more on similar lines from myself here).
As the tweet above so significantly indicates: "Politics must change Not the party". If Labour can only win elections by reproducing exactly the same relationships between wealth and poverty the Tories are so astutely pursuing – and in such a coordinated way – we have to decide whether the problem is our political leaders or, actually, the system within which they are obliged to operate.
Don't blame the leaders, then; blame the systemic duties, constructs, processes and procedures those at the very top have become so accustomed to forcing upon us.
For the Left's leaders have their hands tied just as much as any wage slave out there.
Which is why it's now time for politics – not political parties – to be in our intellectual crosshairs.

HTC to follow LG with 3D smartphone
HTC has followed LG's lead by fitting its latest smartphone with a glasses-free 3D display. The HTC Evo 3D runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread with the latest HTC Sense UI sitting on top, all on a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. It features a dimension-boosting 4.3in, 540 x 960 - aka "qHD" - display, as well as twin 5Mp …
And how does this affect the battery?
When I look to replace my Android next year, I'll be looking for two things: NFC support, battery life.
Oh, and an alternative to the 32MB of Adobe crap that's required on my device.
It probably doesn't
Parallax barrier displays are currently passive - something sits in front of the pixels and masks odd pixels from one eye and even pixels from the other.
Biggest issue is it cuts the horizontal resolution in half and requires the user be exactly positioned to see the effect. I assume in phones that it wouldn't even enable the barrier except when you're taking a 3D picture or something so even if it consumed a small amount of power when enabled it wouldn't be used that often.
I'd be more worried about the stupid premium the phone would command for having 2 cameras on the back and a gimmick 3D effect.
I can't see this as being anything other than a gimick on such a small screen. Long term, no future for 3d smartphones in their current design.
HTC would be better off improving their dodgy touchscreen accuracy (on the HD7 I had anyway) and terrible screen performance in sunlight than messing with 3D.

November 27, 2014
July 3, 2006
Tonight began a new era for the Charlottesville City Council as two new members took their seats. For the first time, two new democratic city councilors took their seats at City Hall, beginning their four year terms that they hope will provide big changes.
Tonight was out with the old, and in with the new. Democrats Dave Norris and Julian Taliaferro took their place amongst Charlottesville's City Council. They say they are excited to work with both their new colleagues and city citizens.
"I hope that I will hear from people because I really appreciate people's views because I think it is important that we listen to what folks in the community like and don't like," Taliaferro said.
"This is a Council that is going to work very well together and maybe move beyond some of the shenanigans of the past and get some things accomplished in a spirit of unity," Norris said.
Some of the so-called shenanigans include inward fighting between former Councilors Blake Caravati and Rob Schilling. Mayor David Brown says Council will miss both of their strong personalities.
"It may be a little duller. It will certainly be more civil I think. I think it will be less interesting for the people in the audience," he said.
What it will lack for the first time in four years is a Republican voice. Lone Republican Rob Schilling lost his seat, leaving behind a group of five Democrats. The newcomers say they strive to make that point moot.
"We're all different people. We all have different views. I don't think you will always see 5-0 votes," said Taliaferro.
"We may all have a "D" behind our name but we're five very different people and we come to this Council with different perspectives and different life experiences," said Norris.
In other changes, Councilors unanimously reappointed Mayor David Brown to another two year term while Kendra Hamilton will take over as Vice-Mayor, taking that position from Kevin Lynch.
Council's next meeting will be July 17.

Win7 very slow opening folders, documents, websites,etc
Hi All,
My Windows 7 (64bit) laptop has become very slow. Typing has a lag sometimes. Opening folders, documents, websites, etc is very slow. Sometimes I get "Not responding" when opening documents and spreadsheets. I've checked the CPU usage and it is slow even at 30-50%.
Can anyone please talk me through how to solve it? I paid a computer shop $95 to solve it and they just defragged, did a registry clean, etc. This worked for about two weeks and then reverted to slowness!
Thanks for you help. This is driving me nuts, especially the typing lag and slow opening of folders and websites.
Best regards

Andrew, Please try this first:
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
1. Click Start
2. In the search box, type cmd
3. In the list that appears, right-click on cmd.exe and choose Run as administrator
4. In the command window that opens, type sfc /scannow and hit enter.
Report the output once it finishes.
Can you also tell us what antivirus software you used, and the last time you did a full scan of your system?

how many processes are you running at any given time? I have an old laptop with only 1 GB RAM, Intel Duo Core and 55GB HDD. I am currently using chrome (in sandboxie)with a few extensions, downloading a PDF file and using soulseek and my process total is only at 52 and my CPU at 3-5%.
I generally find that many people tend to have a lot of processes open without knowing it and it will bog down their system. I could be wrong, but in addtion to the tips here: Optimize Windows 7 I would say thats a great place to start, by cleaning/stopping unnecessary programs and features, you may get things up to speed. Of course scanning for malware could also by another route to explore. I always perform scans when my system seems to be slow (it's usually not, but I'm paranoid)

Win7 x 6 PC's
If this is still the HP preinstalled Windows 7 that has the worst load of bloatware in the industry, which throttles and smothers Windows 7 native performance. That's why most tech enthusiasts will Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 to get the best performance and elminate the bugs. Follow the steps closely and you'll get and keep a perfect install better than 90% of users have.
At the minimum I'd Clean Up Factory Bloatware.
If you've done this already then go over your Windows 7 with Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7.
|My System Specs
|11 Apr 2013
microsoft window7 Ultimate x64
Right click on the Computer icon, and select Properties.Click Advanced System Settings. In the Performance area, click the Settings and after that click the Adjust For Best Performance button, and click OK.
These steps take your system to previous Windows versions.
After return to Windows 7 normal look repeat the steps, but in that step where you click" Adjust For Best Performance button" but this time click the button called "Let Windows Choose Whats Best For My Computer".When the final panel asks you to sign up for a Windows Live ID, ignore what it says and click Close.
This may help you to increase the efficiency of your window.....

Hi All, sorry for the slow reply. Have been renovating my first home Also, my computer sped up again for two weeks, but has slowed to a crawl today. Couldn't Skype properly - no audio and video was very jerky. Windows notification sounds are crackly.
Re bberkely's question I've been monitoring the task manager and noticed the following about my processes:
At this stage all the HP bloatware has been disabled in the startup, but there are 8 HP processes enabled (I don't know what the processes do though).

Miami holds off Illinois 63-59 thanks to Shane Larkin's clutch last-minute three
Illinois' Fighting Illini took the fight to the two-seeded Miami Hurricanes Sunday in their second round match up in the Austin, Texas bracket. In the end, Miami's sophomore star Shane Larkin hit a crushing shot to hold off the underdog Illini 63-59.
Miami advances to the Sweet 16 for a game against Marquette later in the week. The Chicago Tribune reports that this will be their first Sweet 16 appearance in 13 years.
Shane Larkin, son of baseball great Barry Larkin, has been leading Miami as the team's point guard and top three-point shooter.
Illinois' Tyler Griffey and Brandon Paul were primary scorers in the first half, and Paul finished the first half with a buzzer-beating layup that kept it close at 29-26 in favor of Miami.

Web devs gasp: HTML5 takes big step toward standardization
The Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C) has moved ahead with plans to develop the next two versions of the HTML web markup language, having released new draft specifications of HTML5, HTML 5.1, and related standards. On Monday, the web standards body published the first "candidate recommendation" of HTML5, bringing the standard to a …
I can't wait until 2017 or so when my company will finally upgrade to an IE version that actually properly supports HTML 5 (IE9 sure doesn't as shown by Greenhopper's HTML 5 being a total fail on IE9). Yes I do use alternative browsers but I feel sorry for anybody that doesn't/can't.
Re: woot!!
Your browser can't properly support HTML5 in 2013 because there isn't a proper HTML5 to support... the really useful bits aren't part of the spec!
So hardly MS' fault this time round.
Re: woot!!
Of course HTML5 is not yet set completely in stone but the other browser makers sure have implemented a lot more of the soon to be final standard than Microsoft. Greenhopper is a fairly common AGILE tool and its pretty embarrassing that Microsoft's latest non beta browser doesn't support enough HTML5 for the web app to work properly.
Re: woot!!
Why the down votes?
HTML5 remains vapourware until there's a ratified standard.
Re: woot!!
According to a report released on 30 September 2011, 34 of the world's top 100 Web sites were using HTML5. Please note that was over a year ago. Pretty certain its probably at least double that now.
I for one welcome our web app-bearing, content-rendering standards overlords
And salute them for their work!!
Re: I for one welcome our web app-bearing, content-rendering standards overlords
don't do that
North and South?
So, when the stardards to arrive, they will arrive via pair? I understand clear thought and due process is needed when formulating standards, but it is HTML. If you want it to look and work right in all browsers, then starting off with 2 seems like the 50/50 approach to functionality to me. So what is it, <DOCTYPE HTML> and <DOCTYPE HTML.1> ? Or at last is sensible versioning going to appear <DOCTYPE HTML 5.1> ? No matter, clear the standards seem divided at boot.
Using the term glacial seems generous as I've seen glaciers melt faster than it's taking to ratify this as a standard.
Penguins love hyperbole.
Re: Glacial!?
I cant understand why MS has been so slow to implement things like canvas - you know the sort of elements that would make it really easy to redo all of their software in html and take away their revenue stream.
And who else have we got in the standards organisation that wouldn't like things like that .. Adobe and Apple.
My goodness you'd almost think they'd joined in the standardisation process to slow things down!
But as the saying goes ish 'never attribute something to evil that can be accounted for by stupidity'.
Re: Glacial!?
MS aren't promoting Silverlight for the PC so the assertion they don't want HTML5 makes little sense when they are gearing their tools around it.
Adobe has Flash but similarly seems set/resigned it is on the way out, they seem to be killing it faster than they need to if anything. HTML5 content tools are a massive money pit for Adobe.
Apple don't have a rich web alternative of their own. So unless you think they simply want everything done as a native app rather than a website, which seems a little like a conspiracy theory, that doesn't work either.
More likely, MS and Apple are simply tremendously conservative because they have to support their browsers for several years, unlike Chrome and Firefox who just release a new version and change their minds on feature-sets without the need to provide enterprise support.
Re: Glacial!?
You do realise that Apple are a founder member of the WHATWG, and that canvas is their development?
Re: Glacial!?
Microsoft are always glacially slow in implementing anything to do with standards on their festering turd of a browser.
At the moment IE10 scores 320 on html5test.org; just about all other proper browsers are now scoring 400 or much more. It'll be IE11 before they will increase that score, always behind all other browsers.
I'm not an early adopter...
I think I'll wait for the HTML 5S
Re: I'm not an early adopter...
Is that the release that allows for Rounded Corners in dialog boxes and controls ?
What is this HTML5?
HTML became a living standard over a year ago and is being handled by the WHATWG. Did you all miss that while you were pontificating over standardisation and how you prefer wasting brain cells on ridiculous doctype declarations?
Re: HTML became a living standard
A living standard? What exactly does that mean? Because it sounds like it means it's not a standard at all, just a document listing what the current popular browsers are implementing. While quite useful in day to day coding that's not really what the standards process is about.
Re: What is this HTML5?
A living standard? That's a cracker.
A living standard is completely useless to everyone because no one knows what is actually standard in the language. Developers would need to decide which browser(s) they want to support, look up their capabilities and write HTML just for that. Time consuming, a pain in the ass and will end up excluding some users because they aren't using the right browser. Welcome to the late 90s.
That's progress for you.
Re: HTML became a living standard
On a serious note, it's actually a "very good thing" (tm). The problem with the W3C's standardisation process is that it's glacially slow, way slower than many other standardisation processes out there. Unnecessarily slow. The issue is essentially that there are too many cooks. Compare with the WHATWG, which is a consortium of browser vendors and designers/developers that are actually implementing this stuff. It's ready to use in the majority browsers now. The reason that the WHATWG works so well is that there is a single editor, at the moment employed by Google, who is overseeing the development of HTML and for the large part, it's working and it's working better than the W3C. Did I mention how slow the W3C is. I've heard rumour that they started work on the current spec shortly after the dinosaurs became extinct.
Re: there is a single editor, at the moment employed by Google
Oh, right. That's fine then, Google would never try to further their own agenda in a situation like this.
They've still not finished HTML 5 but they've released a spec for the next version after that? And anything they can't agree on in the next 20 months will get pushed into that spec? You just can't make this shit up.
W3C and HTML 5 are a joke.

It turns out I love Chinese food. And although there is a place and a time for the sickly, bright red, sweet and sour sauce at the all-you-can-eat buffet (say, Sunday lunch somewhere in Zone 7), it doesn't come close to making your own sweet and sour at home.
This is not quite it I suppose. Maybe somewhere in between a sweet and sour and the fish fragrant aubergine I had at Chilli Cool a few weeks back. I've been wanted to make something similar since then. And just in case that wasn't exciting enough, I thought I'd use the skin to make some crackling. I don't like waste, you see.
Please don't get angry at me for the generic name I've given this dish. I didn't follow a specific recipe and didn't want to call it something that it isn't. If you have any better suggestions I'd love to hear them!
The crackling was amazing, properly puffed up and with soft bits every here and there. It was in fact so good that we ended up eating it all before I could take a picture of it. I'll be making this again.
Chinese Pork with Aubergines and Crackling
For the sauce
a small pork joint
3 tbsp chinese rice vinegar
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp red wine
Chop the pork in inch thick cubes and add all the ingredients in a bowl. Let it marinate for half an hour (or longer if possible - you can do it overnight in the fridge). Reserving the marinade, fry the pieces of pork over high heat until browned. If they are releasing too much liquid you can add that to the marinade. You don't want them to simmer. When browned and with crisped edges, take out of the pan and set aside.
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp sunflower oil
2 onions, chopped finely
3 garlic cloves, grated
3 dried birds-eye chillies, chopped
2 aubergines, sliced in fingers*
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp soft brown sugar
extra soy sauce or rice vinegar, to taste
* I threw in some courgettes and peppers because I had them in my fridge, but the aubergines were by far my favourite - no surprises there!
In the same pot used to brown the meat, add the oil and soften the onions. Add the garlic and chilli, fry for a couple of minutes and then add the aubergines (or any other vegetable you're using). When they've browned a bit, add the meat pieces, the reserved marinade, the ketchup and sugar and enough water to cover everything. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens and the pork is tender. Taste and add more soy sauce or vinegar if you want it saltier/more sour. If the sauce is too thin you can use some cornflour to thicken it.
For the crackling
the skin of the pork, in one piece
vinegar (use some of the chinese rice vinegar from before)
Score the skin and place it on a rack over the sink. Poor boiling water over it, pat dry and rub with the salt and vinegar. Roast in a preheated oven at 200 Celsius for about an hour. When it's looking crispy, pop it under a hot grill to puff up. Make sure you keep an eye on it as it can go from puffy to burnt in seconds!
Serve the pork with some plain rice and a bit of crackling on the side.

Chinese Pork with Aubergines and Crackling

Labels: aubergines, chinese, pork

Interesting use of red wine. I've always been told that sesame oil is to be used as flavouring after the dish is cooked.ReplyDelete
I always add a sliced spring onion to garnish; really lifts the flavours, I find.
Interesting as in "I can't believe you put red wine in there, how dare you?!" :PReplyDelete
I remembered using sherry in the past, but I didn't have any so I thought that would do. Both the spring onion and the sesame oil added at the end sound great, I'll try them next time!

You ain't even in around we spit
Nightmares mental, Freddie Kruger pencil on my Elm's street
Believe none of what you see, none of the sh*t you heart
A car rolling the fu**ing earth turning over a new...
A mixture of Biggie and Pac, going upside your head
With a mike stand at your show, it's me giving you props
My mind's pure faith, hope, I gained till the bank's broken
My flow's Novocain, it's Frank Ocean
It ain't a thing to hang a ling
Night tears by day, nightmares of the night, like...
It's 6 million ways to end your life... and I chose to... over the bloody
Gloves with the fingertips
I'm who you can't stand prolly leaning
You prolly read about it's the sandman mixed up with Robert England
I put it right there to see
How can I ever have a bad dream when the nightmare's me
Lyrics provided by http://www.kovideo.net/
Source - http://www.kovideo.net/nightmares-lyrics-professor-green-1258230.html
And I'm drunk and I'm... and I don't know what I'ma do
... And I'm looking for you
And I'm not... , I'll be right there
Everything in life comes with a price, it's time for you to play
... my paintbrush, I'm forever take any farther and further
God forbid that I ever extend my art of murder
You don't wanna see me these...
So doesn't it
I ain't thinking about... I'm more interested in doing some other sh*t
Really having some fun with it, disintegrate your... instead of dumping it
I don't care how uncomfortable your... is
... that I'm coming with
Yeah I'm... in the head
... I can hear the heart in your chest beating as I'm...
Punishment enough for all the things that you said
... you ain't coming shivering in your bed, I'm a nightmare
And I'm drunk and I'm... and I don't know what I'ma do
... And I'm looking for you
And I'm not... , I'll be right there

[QUOTE=Raider9175;4479648][B]1. Raiders are battling the chiefs for the division. Both the Raiders and chiefs should be playoff teams. [/B]
2 Jets could have best Cb depth they still have only one CB(revis that can neutralize one Raider wr. Your 2- 4cb can't match up with Raiders.
3. First you have to understand last year offense the Te's were more blockers as the passing game revolved around the wr's. You were a Te and couldn't block , you weren't going to play. Thats not the case in this offense, as the Tes are a big part of the passing attack. See DaVid Ausberry 6'4 250 4.47 no one question his receiving ability . He has sub 4.5 and been a Wr most of his life. He now 265 pounds with about the same speed who we won't know if he improved his blocking till they put the pads on. Richard Gordon 6'4 265 4.63 is different he a beast blocker who still a raw receiver.( See How Joel Dreesen became a star in same system) Derek carrier 6'4 240 4.51 40 vertical. He a Wr that eventually should end up as a h-back or Te. Raiders have a lot of inexperience at this position but they have a lot of talent and are playing in a te friendly system.
4. D Davis can help with the speed to the outside but he still dosen't match DMC speed or Taiwan Jones (who way faster than Mcfadden) They have tow of those guys in the backfield and T^wo D Davis aren't staying with each very long.
5. No give me Bs penalties. I see more Bs no calls on other teams oline holding raiders dline. Cromartie did commit those penalties. Just a bad matchup Deanrius moore against him. Lucky for cromartie it wasn't ford. (ford would have really embarrassed him.[/QUOTE]
In the NFL, division titles and playoff spots are awarded to the teams that win the most game, not lose the most games.
Now that you know that, care to re-evaluate your statement?

I remember the good old days when the biggest thing many people had to worry about was a burglar breaking into their home while they were away and stealing what little they had that was worth owning.
Back then, newspapers would occasionally do stories on how homeowners could protect themselves. They'd interview the police, who offered only depressing news. There is no way to protect yourself against burglars, they'd say. If a thief was determined to get in, he'd get in. The best people could do was secure their homes and slow down and discourage burglars, who like to get in and out fast.
You don't hear much about burglaries these days. It's the mass shootings, people finding ways to get into movie theaters and schools and opening fire for reasons we are never able to explain.
One of the first responses to the question what do we do?' after the shootings in Connecticut was a call for armed guards in schools. The suggestion was widely jeered.
I think of the high school I attended. It had an administration building, an industrial arts building, a physical education building, a library building and three different units with classrooms, with students traveling between buildings each period. Securing a school like that would be a nightmare.
Most schools, though, are single buildings and easier to secure.
It's sad to think that we have to turn our schools into fortresses, but it's happening. In convenience stores, clerks are sheltered behind presumably bullet-proof windows an inch and a half thick. Some banks have police officers sitting in their lobbies.
Curiously, though the idea of armed guards in schools was derided as laughable by some, it's not an uncommon practice. In fact, that has been the practice in Fort Wayne for years.
In Fort Wayne, school doors are locked as soon as classes begin. If you want to get in, you have to speak to someone over an intercom and be buzzed in. Schools have security cameras so school officials can see who is outside. Theoretically, the cameras would alert officials inside if someone was approaching the school with a rifle or a bag of rifles.
Of course, one thing we've learned is that madmen don't knock. In Connecticut, after a lot of misinformation was initially distributed, we learned that the gunman there shot his way into the school.
That is something we have to realize. If someone is determined to get into a school building, they will find a way, and the most logical way for a gunman to get in is to shoot.
In Fort Wayne, some high schools have what are known as resource officers. That's a non-threatening term for an armed police officer who is on hand at a high schools and on and off in other schools.
Having armed and trained personnel does serve as a deterrent.
Oh, we can talk about banning different weapons, but madmen aren't fazed by such things. Look at the mass shootings that have happened in America. They've involved handguns, rifles, shotguns, even .22s.
The key is being prepared for madmen, but above all detecting them before they act and taking action to prevent further tragedies.

The Virginia men's tennis team headed to Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Tuesday, where it will practice for two days before taking the court for the NCAA Tournament round of 16. This marks the Cavaliers fifth consecutive appearance in the Sweet 16, as they look for their first NCAA championship, and the first ever by an ACC school.
First up for Virginia is Michigan, who enters the tournament as the 16th overall seed. Back on February 3, the Wahoos topped the Wolverines, 5-2, though that match was indoors. Michigan topped Western Michigan and Texas Tech to reach the round of 16, where the Wolverines aim to upset the top ranked Cavaliers. The winner of this match will face the victor of eighth seeded Tennessee and ninth seeded Baylor on Sunday in the NCAA quarterfinal.
Virginia marks the only team to have a top eight seed in each of the last five seasons. Last year, they became the first ACC team ever to reach the national semifinal, where the Cavaliers fell to eventual national champion Georgia.

The pilot stated that he was conducting his second stop-and-go landing when the airplane touched down with a "very slight bounce." After the airplane settled back onto the runway, it began "pulling" to the left. The pilot stated that he applied right rudder, but the airplane's response was "slow," and the airplane departed the runway into the "wet and muddy" grass. As the airplane decelerated, it nosed over and came to rest inverted. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer. The pilot reported there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures; nor were any discovered when a Federal Aviation Administration inspector examined the airplane following the accident. The weather reporting facility at the accident airport reported winds from 020 degrees at 6 knots about the time of the accident.

A bruise is a collection of blood underneath the skin that is caused by trauma to an area of the body. The trauma causes tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, to break, and then blood leaks from the vessels into the surrounding tissue. Sometimes, enough bleeding occurs so that a lump also forms (this lump is called a hematoma).
A bruise will usually heal on its own. Some general guidelines for treatment may include:
Specific treatment for bruises that require more than minor treatment at home will be determined by your child's doctor. In general, call your child's doctor if your child:

Associated Press
BETHLEHEM, West Bank (AP) -- The Palestinians haven't elected a president since 2005, but now they are finally getting a chance to do so -- virtually -- thanks to a hit reality TV show.
"The President" is broadcast weekly on Maan TV, a popular independent Palestinian TV station. It offers contestants a chance to address the Palestinian people on what they would do on a variety of subjects if elected president. They are grilled by a panel of politicians, professors and businesspeople who, with input from the audience, vote them off -- something they can't do in the real world, where their president is still in office several years after his term was supposed to expire.
Thousands of young Palestinians who applied to take part in the show have been whittled down to 15. A winner will be crowned in the finale scheduled for late June and get to travel the world as a mock Palestinian ambassador -- and perhaps win a car as well.
"We are building a new generation of politicians. They are gaining skills from practice," said Kholoud Idabis, a former Cabinet minister and member of the panel. Other judges include Palestinian official Hanan Ashrawi and Arab-Israeli lawmaker Ahmad Tibi.
In their 20 years of limited self-rule, the Palestinians have had just two presidential elections. In 1996, longtime Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was elected for a five-year term. He ruled without another election until he died in 2004. The following year, Mahmoud Abbas was elected for a four-year term. He's been in power ever since with no elections in sight. Critics accuse Abbas of planning on following Arafat's example, planning to rule until he dies. Abbas has no deputy, and his popular prime minister, Salam Fayyad, recently resigned in a power struggle with the president.
Abbas says he is willing to conduct elections, but first he needs to end the internal split between his government, based in the West Bank, and the Islamic militant Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip. Talks have been going on for years without any significant progress. Abbas hopes to establish an independent state that includes both territories.
The original 1,200 participants selected to compete were all between the ages of 20-35, held a university degree and were born in the Palestinian territories. For each episode, they are given questions from the panel on issues such as Israeli settlements, the death penalty and how to revive the struggling economy.
Hussein al-Deik, 31, for example, said he would oppose the type of violence espoused by Palestinians last decade when they carried out hundreds of suicide bombings and other attacks against Israeli civilians. He said he would promote peaceful demonstrations against Israel's occupation of the West Bank and even oppose stone throwing at Israeli soldiers and settlers -- a common Palestinian practice. "Stones can prompt violence and can cause us to be victims," he said, though he said he supported international legal action against Israeli "war crimes."
Other candidates echoed his support for nonviolence, a contrast to wider Palestinian society where support for "armed struggle" remains a common sentiment.
A survey released Thursday by the Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project found that 45 percent of Palestinian respondents believe "armed struggle" is the best way to achieve independence from Israel, compared to 15 percent who supported negotiations and another 15 percent who supported "nonviolent resistance." The survey questioned 810 people and had a margin of error of 4.4 percentage points. The center noted that roughly 5 percent of the Palestinian population was excluded because of nomadic Bedouin lifestyles or lack of access caused by Israeli military restrictions.
The show's producer says that if there are no elections in practice, at least there should be on TV.
"We wanted to create a new spin on reality TV -- reality TV with a purpose," said Seema Rasool. "For decades, Palestine has only had two presidents, Abu Amar (Yasser Arafat) and Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas), thus we hope this show drives the Palestinian people to truly have a democratic state. This show in itself models democracy in practice."
There are no exact rating figures, but the show seems to be a popular topic of conversation among Palestinians.
The show is funded by an American organization called Search for Common Ground. According to Suheir Rasul, co-director of the organization in Jerusalem, the "idea is for a new generation of Palestinian voices to be heard."
"We are looking to strengthen public engagement among Palestinians -- especially the emerging leaders," Suheir said.

ATI's designed a multi-purpose chipset that will appeal to a wide
range of users. On the one hand, the enthusiast has the choice of opting
for a competitive chipset that appears to overclock as high as NVIDIA or
VIA's best. The business customer, meanwhile, can take advantage of an
IGP model and produce a low-cost, powerful system. Productivity may
suffer once employees understand and exploit its DX9 goodness, though.
What ATI and its partners need to do is flood the Athlon 64 market with
as many different examples of its XPRESS 200 chipset, both basic and
premium, before NVIDIA and VIA do. Timing is everything in this
business, and the proverbial clock is ticking.

25,000 TAPES, 1,000 OFFICERS AND FOUR GRAINY IMAGES – TECHNOLOGY CLOSES INThe Times, 23/07/2005
25,000 tapes, 1,000 officers and four grainy images technology closes in By Ben Macintyre Just 24 hours on, science has turned the menace of the four unexploded bombs into a treasure trove of information IN A barbed wire–bordered compound in Kent, forensics experts with infra–red cameras are combing and cataloguing every millimetre of a red double–decker bus, while teams of scientists tease apart volatile packs of explosives, using the tools of chemistry to rewrite the bombmakers signature.
In a dingy 1'70s office block in Lambeth, police are hunched over screens, watching hour after hour of CCTV footage in pursuit of the fugitives.
And inside Scotland Yard and MI5 headquarters, police chiefs and intelligence officers are collating and analysing the unexpected windfall of hard scientific evidence. Part of that windfall went on display yesterday in the shape of four grainy images, proof of the speed at which technology is closing in on the terrorists.
There was something close to elation in the voice of Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, when he declared that bombs had been recovered almost intact÷ We believe this may represent a significant breakthrough.
The unexploded bombs are a treasure trove, an own–goal by the bombers that should yield vital clues about the terrorists, their bombmaker and their methods.
The contrast with the evidence available after the first wave of bombings is stark÷ after July 7, investigators were left to piece together tiny shards of exploded material in the wreckage, swabbing minute particles of DNA left by victims and terrorists, combing CCTV tapes for the faces of four unknowns.
This time they have several entire bombs, rucksacks with fingerprints, witnesses and film of the bombers not only before the attack but also as they fled. By yesterday morning they also had a dead body, of the man shot at Stockwell station, and a face to compare with the evidence already accumulated.
Scores of police have been diverted from normal duties, and at least 1,000 officers of the Metropolitan Police are at work on the biggest forensics investigation in British history, a vast and hugely complex jigsaw of science, technology and old–fashioned police work.
A prime focus is the No 26 bus, which was towed away from the Hackney Road yesterday by forensic officers in white suits and masks. It is believed to have been taken to Fort Halstead, the top–secret armaments research establishment on the North Downs near Sevenoaks. Fort Halstead, one of the most–crucial but least–known arms of the Defence Ministry, is where experts pieced together the wreckage of the Pan Am airliner that exploded over Lockerbie in 1'88.
Shortly before 10pm on Thursday, a two–man bomb disposal unit boarded the bus and removed the unexploded bomb and the rucksack that had contained it. The bomb was transferred to a steel canister. Police then photographed the bus inside and out after a fingertip search.
Some of the analysis is likely to take place at the laboratories in Lambeth Road, an unremarkable tower block that is home to the Governments Forensic Science Service.
Every bomb carries the chemical signature of its maker, based on the chemical admixture, and the type of detonators, casings, wire and tape. Information on the signatures is shared internationally by anti–terrorist forces. Bombers also tend to construct their weapons according to where they learnt the technical skill, providing further clues. The first task will be to establish the similarities, if any, between the explosive mixture used on July 7, the bombs found in the car at Luton and the explosives recovered in Leeds, and this weeks unexploded material.
The earlier bombs are believed to have been made of acetone peroxide triacetone triperoxide or TATP an ingredient popular with Middle Eastern terrorists.
TATP can be made from common products including sulphuric acid, hydrogen peroxide and acetone. If the precise chemical make–up is established, then steps can be taken to start detecting it on the transport system.
Three of the four devices were thought to be of a similar size and weight to those used on July 7. The fourth was smaller and contained in a plastic box. On three of the devices, the detonators went off but the bomb failed to explode, and on the fourth the detonator apparently failed.
The Lambeth Road labs will also be testing for DNA, fibres and fingerprints at the scenes. A single drop of sweat on a piece of plastic can be enough to obtain a DNA match.

Build Links To All Your Posts
There are essentially three parts to making money online
1-find a niche
2-add content
3-build links
Sure there are a million small things in each one but that is the large overview. This post and video is just going to cover one tiny part of number 3 but I hope it helps you.
The places I mention in the video include
Imautomator – The free level is fine for the stuff i mention in the video
Social adr – They have a free level, join at the free level then they offer you a extra account option which is $17 a month and that gives you enough bookmarks to be starting with. As you make more money then increase
You do not need to build loads of links to every single page. What I do is home page first, then category pages, then I run the site through market samurai (another ranking tool would work) to see where the pages rank. I then build links to the pages that have some ranking, even if it is low.
Once they are done I will then just do the rest of the pages if I have nothing else to add to Imautomator . It is easy to lose track of what you have done when you are building links to so many pages and if you have loads of sites.
Which Site Do I Do First?
I have a load of sites so which one do I build links to first?
I know this question will get asked so I will answer it, I choose the sites that are making money already and push them. They are already loved by Google so I will try and get them some more love. I find it easier to take a site from $5 a day to $10 a day than to get from $0 to $5. No idea why I just do.
Comments Please
Please do let me know your thoughts and ideas, I like to think that I am not just talking to myself (which I do a lot)

A look back at Watergate
Paul Leeper talks at length about arriving at the Watergate Hotel as a 34-year-old D.C. police sergeant and finding burglars inside.
Brennan Haselton, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - A presidential campaign was in full-swing on June 17, 1972 - exactly forty years ago - and the nation's capital was gearing up for the official start of summer.
In the early hours of that Saturday morning, three D.C. police officers responded to a call they'd never forget, with consequences they couldn't have imagined at the time.
Before long, a team of burglars had been arrested for breaking into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate Hotel. Eventually, it was discovered they had ties to President Richard M. Nixon's re-election campaign and the rest is history, with the ultimate result being the president's resignation.
Paul Leeper was a 34-year-old M.P.D. sergeant that morning, sitting in Cruiser 727 with officers John Barrett and Carl Shoffler. Just before 2 a.m., they were leaving the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and K Street NW.
"So, at that time, the call came out," the now 74-year-old Maryland resident says. "[The dispatcher]came on the air and said, 'I need a car and an official to talk to the guard down at the Watergate. He found some tape on a door.'"
Though an initial search of the building came up empty, Leeper and his partners eventually confronted five men in an office of the D.N.C. A search of the first cubicle he came to turned up nothing more than a desk, chair and typewriter.
"I start into the second (cubicle) and I see Barrett go into a crouch with his weapon," Leeper says. "And he's yelling something. To this day I don't know if he was yelling 'hold it' or 'don't move' but I knew he'd made contact with somebody."
Once the dust had settled, the police officers had five men in custody. But they didn't look like your average burglars.
Five "middle-aged guys, with Playtex gloves on, suits and ties," he says. "You don't normally lock up people of that age for burglary. And plus, you're thinking, 'Well, we had a break-in (at the Watergate) in May, this is the Democratic National Committee headquarters, what am I involved with here, you know?'"
Although Leeper had no way of knowing the full scope of what was going on and what the arrests would eventually lead to, he says he told his wife, "I think this is probably going to be the biggest case I ever made."
It wasn't long before investigators discovered the burglar team had reserved room at the Howard Johnson Hotel across the street and had seized close to 300 items ranging from cash to lock picks to listening devices.
More than two years would pass before the Watergate story reached its zenith with President Nixon's decision to leave office in the face of almost certain impeachment.
Leeper hesitates and thinks a moment after being asked if he remembers his thoughts following the president's announcement on August 8, 1974.
"I was down behind the Washington Post later on that night and I talked to [Post owner] Katherine Graham and she asked me the same thing. What can I say? There's nothing to say, it's just another case. It is the President of the United States. You feel sorry for his family, of course. But then again I didn't put those people in there."
