Kaczur seems more sutiable for guard. Does that seem possible?

Why can't Brady just call the plays himself? There is no OC and he is experienced enough to run the offense by himself.
Posted 11/25/2009 10:26:53 EST
Levoir moved out there as though he were an M-1 tank. I like him next to Vollmer as the blocking tight end. With Mankins at guard you sort of out gun the defense on the left side. This is moot, but t more »

[Detail] Memoirs of mammoth...Thomas Ashe 1806.
The First American West: The Ohio River Valley, 1750-1820 documents the travels of the first Europeans to enter the trans-Appalachian west, the maps tracing their explorations, and relations with Native American people. Books and letters in the collection record land acquisitions, agricultural development, navigation, trade, and political affairs in the early Federal period including western conspiracies. The collection of documents draws upon the interconnected holdings of the University of Chicago Library and the Filson Historical Society, named after John Filson who, in 1784, published "The Discovery, Settlement and Present State of Kentucke," a promotional tract recognized as the first history of the state. The collection provides a diverse picture of the early exploration and settlement of the trans-Appalachian west.
The First American West supplements the study of early American history and provides insights into the settlement of the first westward frontier. Documents in the collection explore the numerous hostile encounters between Europeans and Native Americans from the Seven Years' War through the War of 1812. A number of travel accounts shed light on the economic opportunities in the western Appalachian territory acquired by the Treaty of Paris of 1783, including a two-volume history of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The collection also explores the political intrigues spawned in the Ohio Valley during the early Federal Period through personal correspondence, state papers, and court records. The abundant records in the collection further enrich the study of the economic, social, and political values and institutions from the late colonial period through the War of 1812.
The Special Presentation "Encountering the First American West" provides a useful introduction to the collection, organized around five themes: contested lands, peoples and migrations, empires and politics, western life and culture, and constructing a western past. These themes could provide one avenue for exploring the collection in the classroom; the topics in the subheadings below could provide another.

This oil is heaven in a bottle! The smell is absolutely to die for, and it really does a bang up job of moisturizing my combo skin. I press this into my moisturizer every night and my skin is soft, supple, and glowing in the morning.

I've never used Jurlique before, but as I recently got into facial oils, I saw this in a Sephora display with a bunch of others and had to try it. It had a delightful, light floral scent and claimed to be very moisturizing and good for combination skin, so I thought I'd give it a try. I usually use facial oil either under or mixed with my moisturizer, because while some things can cause me to break out, most of my skin is very dry, and starting to show fine lines as I approach 35. This oil performs well, sinks in and doesn't cause breakouts, and I've used it both at night and during the day before foundation. It doesn't seem to affect the way my foundation applies or wears, and the scent (although very nice) is not overpowering and fades quickly. The only thing I would wish for is a little more moisture but since I am very dry, it might be perfect for someone with more normal skin. I'll continue to use this with my moisturizer.

About four months ago I switched my skincare range from Clinique to Jurlique as I was attracted its bio-organic, Australian grown ingredients. Since then I have not looked back! Part of my skin care routine is the Jurlique Skin Balancing Face Oil. Of the numerous Jurlique products I use in my skin care routine, this product is my absolute favourite that I cannot go without! I use this product morning and night on damp skin after showering and my face just loves it! It also has a lovely scent that I find soothing and beautiful - just like I've left the beauty bar with a facial. I have combination skin - dry around the cheeks and slightly oily in the T so I was a little worried about how my skin would react to the addition of oil. When I apply it to my skin I mainly apply to my cheeks and forehead and sparingly elsewhere. Over the time I have been using this product I have definitely noticed my skin is more supple, younger (dewy-looking) and generally happier. I feel great about using this product and I recommend it to others who want that feeling too!

I really like this oil. I use it at night, instead of night moisturizer. It sinks nicely into my skin, doesn't leave any residue. My skin looks fresh and healthy in the morning.

I used to be afraid to put oil on my oily/acne-prone skin but I found out it works the opposite way than you think, by stripping your skin of oil on a regular basis, your skin reacts by overproducing oil to replenish it, so it's essential to use an oil or hydrating moisturizer on oily skin. I really didn't like the smell of this oil in the beginning but I grew accustomed to it and by the end I really loved it. Before this product came out, I used the Rose Body Oil by Jurlique on my face, so I was used to more of a rose smell but I wanted to try it because it was more specific for the face. I live in a hot climate so I found this oil to be suitable for me for night-time use only, it didn't make me break out and I started to put it on my body and any sunburns or insect bites and I really love it. It made my skin clear and balanced. I don't follow the instructions of putting the oil on a cotton pad and then spreading on the face, this would just waste so much of the oil, it's better to take 1-3 drops for whole face and perform the press and release action with the palms of your hands. I even patted it around my eyes with no discomfort whatsoever. It's a reasonable price, $50 for 50 ml and this has lasted for 3 years and does not go bad even though the expiry date on Jurlique products is usually around one-two years after purchasing. I have also used Duchess Marden Anti-Wrinkle Serum (it's actually an oil similar to this one) and would say both offer similar results. I would definitely purchase again.

this oil does what it says, balancing, also moisturizing, plump and soften the skin. it is more for dry-combo skin or dry congested. if you are very oily or very dry, this is not your cure. i have dry skin and i use this differently. it is a nice face oil, i also use other face oil as well like calendula oil. i use this oil prior washing my dry face. it works great. finally i could deep clean my skin without stripping the oil or getting too dry. cream cleanser doesnt clean that well and even for dry skin, we all need to deep clean time to time, as we could still get congested dry skin. i also use this oil between the jurlique rosewater toner and the jurlique age defying ultra lift moisturizer at times depending on how the skin react and feel which the weather and hormones seem to play major role. the oil is a nice enough and great for dry skin. you could also use this as face massage oil treatment. the smell is quite like herbs similar to their other products.

I tried this when I had some problems with a moisturizer and wanted to try something more natural. This didn't give me enough moisture, stayed greasy and my facial skin seemed to react to this: I didn't use it enough to get any pimples, but I did get more redness around my mouth and nose. Gave tis 2 because I think I may be able to use this for body massage. I agree with the reviewer 2 reviews down: a lot of natural essential oils can irritate sensitive skin.

When my skin hit a serious winter-dry-chapped condition, and NOTHING seemed to help, and most products burned my skin, Jurlique Skin Balancing Face Oil stepped in and saved my skin! I LOVE this stuff - it absorbs quickly and is NOT greasy. Flakes and redness were gone within days. Love it!!

I bought this from sephora.com based on the good reviews. Thought I'd give these ubiquitous face oils a try. But this is much too fragranced for my sensitive skin. It's loaded with all those essential oil components like citral, eugenol, benzyl salicylate, and I've finally learned that I can't use anything that contains these ingredients. They're just too irritating. Rather than "balance" my skin, my face became a red, itchy mess while. I then tried using this as a hair oil, smoothing it on the ends of my hair. But then my scalp became itchy and I got little bumps on the nape of my neck!

I switched to predominantly Jurlique facial products about 8 months ago including this oil, which I use at night and mainly in the cooler months. I don't use it directly on my nose or chin (I tend to be very oily in those areas) unless they are visibly dry. It smells very nice and in the morning my skin is hydrated and glowing. I've even convinced my husband to use it and he probably goes through more than me!
I use this oil, the balancing face wash and blemish cream, and together they've really evened out my skin tone, reduced redness and help me reduce the amount of foundation and concealer I wear.

How to Wrap Your Hair
Five Parts:Hair WashingHair PreparationSection WrappingHair DryingBedtime Wrapping
Hair wrapping is a maintenance hair style used by people with naturally curly or frizzy hair. Wrapping sections around the head and keeping the sections straight and taut while they dry will give your hair a relaxed look. Follow these instructions on how to wrap your hair before you dry it or to maintain it at night.
Part 1 of 5: Hair Washing
Part 2 of 5: Hair Preparation
1Apply a leave-in conditioner to the hair from roots to ends. This should improve the PH balance of the hair and help it to stay moisturized.
2Part your hair into 2 or 4 sections. If you have a thick head of hair, you should use 4 sections. If your hair is already relaxed or straightened and dry, you should use 2 sections to keep the hair more uniform.
- Use a rat tail comb to ensure the sections are parted in straight lines along the scalp.
3Consider applying a natural oil, such as argon, jojoba or Moroccan oil, to each section individually. This is best for natural and very dry hair. Skip this step if your hair is already relaxed.Ad
Part 3 of 5: Section Wrapping
1Apply a wrapping lotion or setting lotion to the hair. Do this section by section from root to tip.
2Comb the first section on the bottom left side of your hair from roots to ends.
3Comb each of the remaining sections individually. You can use your alligator clips to keep the sections apart.
4Wrap the bottom left section around the base of your skull, right above your ear and around the top of your head. It should continue wrapping in a swirl pattern around the outside of your head until you reach the end.
- Make sure it stays straight in all areas. Comb the section and start the wrapping process again if it does not stay straight, smooth and detangled.
5Pin the wrapped section at the top with large alligator clips. You may need to add a pin to the hair at the nape of your neck or a few other places that feel loose; however, you should try to use as few clips or pins as you can, because they can crimp the hair.
6Repeat the wrap with the bottom right section, wrapping it around the base of the skull, above the left ear and around the top of the head. Clip it.
7Wrap the top left section around the right side of the head, below the 2 previous wraps, or above them, if need be. Clip it as necessary.
8Wrap the top right section around the left side of the head. Clip it as necessary. You should try to use between 4 and 6 clips.
- You can comb out the hair as you wrap it; however, it may make it harder to wrap all the sections of the hair, because the comb can disturb other sections. Combing or wrapping after combing depends upon your preference.
- Your hair should look like a "hive." It should have wide, higher sections around the entire outside of the head. Try not to pile the sections of the hair on top of each other, but have them swirl around each other.
Part 4 of 5: Hair Drying
Part 5 of 5: Bedtime Wrapping
1Wrap a satin scarf around your wrapped hair before you go to bed. The satin will help to smooth the hair at night and avoid excess breakage.
2Consider placing a pair of clean pantyhose over the scarf as you sleep.
- Place the trunk section of the pantyhose over your head. It should be tight but comfortable. Wrap the legs around to the base of the neck. Tie them in place.
3Do not remove the pantyhose and scarf immediately when you wake up.
4Cover your head with a shower cap and shower. Then, wait until you are no longer in the humid bathroom and remove all the layers.
5Unwrap your hair by unpinning and unwrapping the hair sections.Ad

Don't give up five minutes before the miracle!!
Does this sound familiar? You're are definitely NOT alone!! If feeling this way must be accompanied by guilt, then we'd better start taking numbers as our line is going to be more than a mite lengthy! No!!! Many of us feel cheated! Many of us feel that we barely have one thing done to us when another is demanded. One med to cure one thing before another med is added to reduce the effects of the first!
In a world that considers only the beautiful, the wealthy, the important to be acceptable, being less in any of those areas certainly seems to exclude the majority of us!
A critical health issue can certainly deplete your energy as well as your spirit; to retain a strong self-image in such circumstances is asking a great deal...if not the impossible! SO.......
(You might want to take a look at another WebMD article while you are preparting for your next pity party. It is entitled "Sex Complaints Common After Breast Cancer" Type it into the main search box at the top. In it they state: "Sexual problems are among the most common and least talked about side effects of breast cancer treatment"!!!!!! So, if no one is talking about what almost everyone is experiencing, no wonder we feel alone and even more odd and ugly??!! Hells Bells, we are the only ones at the ball without a pretty gown, and even if no one else knows it, we sure do!!! )
One of the biggest supports some of us have discovered is our partner's reaction to the "new" us! They are often the mirrors by which we judge our worth. (NO! It should NOT lay within the power of another person, and if we are really strong people, it won't. However, I must plead that I am not among those who can rely on their inner mirror...The one I look into has been my DH for over 46 years. His affirmation is very important to me. Now, if it weren't there, what would I do? That I can't answer except to say that I hope I would be resiliant enough, strong enough to feel the security that I glean from his eyes. But, truly I can't say!)
You don't tell us if you have a partner or how old you are ...In each stage of our lives we face different challenges. Some more difficult than others. But, nonetheless, difficult! Please let us know just what stage you are in, and perhaps we can offer some more specific suggestions to help you get beyond this painful period?
I recall one of our very special members once broke the word "Intimacy" into "In To Me See"...Looking inside the one you love, past the exterior. (This applies whether it is our partner or ourselves who is looking.)
Another member speaking of the changes that breast cancer has made in her life wrote: "Me? No boobs. Complete hysterectomy. Scars out the wazoo. A freakish tan from radiation and bad hair cause of the chemo, not to mention, I look 20 years older than I am. Hard to believe last year I was running marathons!"
She, however, went on to write: "...but (now) the colors of my fabric are so much richer. So much more authentic."
None of us can really "get over" this journey...The only way is to "go through it"! And when we get to the other side, we deserve to have time to acclimate ourselves to all we have been though, applaud our courage and strength, and use any and all help ...Be it through breast cancer survivor programs like ACS TLC assistance or therapy, use of medication to help us thru the most difficult paths or a group like this to hold our hand and let us know we are not alone.!!
Please come here often and let us help support you. We are open 24/7 just for one another. Hope to see you again soon!

One thing I have found for myself (and maybe for all the "other kids"???) is to doctor them up with spices and sauces...Makes some of them so much more interesting and tasty.
RachaelView Thread
The statement "They do not harm" seems odd. And the later in the post you say "The intention of removing tissue by means of this method is not to get rid of all of the microcalcifications but to obtain a representative sampling accordingly a diagnosis could be completed." I don't think you mean that they are nothing to be concerned about, do you? Or that they shouldn't be removed except for the sampling in the biopsy? DCIS is soemthing which must be addressed and dealt with. A biopsy alone is not the answer. Please correct me if I have not understood your post.

Monday, November 19, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- Nearly 200 students at the Newton College & Career Academy recently learned what it would be like to work as an EMT.
Two Newton Medical Center EMTs visited the students in the health care science program last week to give them a glimpse into their lives.
"We're always having to recertify and take extra classes, so that way we're fresh because if you don't use what you learn, you lose it," said EMT Travis Moore to one of the classes.
He encouraged students to get as much education as they could if they were interested in going into the health care field.
Moore said that most people in the field start off at the EMT level and eventually become a paramedic, and that there are courses to become a nurse or a physician's assistant. He said students should at least plan to get a two-year degree, which is required, but some employers are requiring four-year degrees now for some positions, especially managerial ones.
Paramedic Tom Ihde added that EMT classes usually take about a year to receive certification, and to become a paramedic, you have to take another year of courses now. Paramedics are allowed to give more medications.
"I like to see the action in the hospital, and I don't want to have a boring job," said junior Shaquna Douglas, who wants to be a surgical nurse. "I want to help (in surgery)."
They said that their services depend on the community -- a busy county like DeKalb County receives more calls that Newton County, generally. Most jobs start off with a salary of about $30,000 per year, and most places require 24-hour shifts, even though some are switching to 12-hour shifts now across the country.
Ihde said that the longer shifts can be dangerous to the workers, who are going on little to no sleep.
They also told students that CPR is an important certification to get and renew.
"There are studies now that CPR is the key to everything," Ihde said. "It's saving people."
Nurse Theresa Kuhn works with about 130 students in her introductory and therapeutic health care classes; about 60 other students are in the advanced class with the dual enrollment program through Georgia Piedmont Technical College. They are all part of the health care science program at NCCA.
In the program, students learn about the history of health care, medical terminology and abbreviations, health and wellness, preventative care, CPR and ethics and legal issues, among other topics.
Junior Anthony Bradley said the class is helping him prepare to be in the medical field -- he's planning to become an EMT and eventually a registered nurse.
"I think it's real beneficial because it's teaching me the basics to what I want to be," he said. "It's based on college."
Eventually the program will expand into more offerings and pathways as more students attend the academy.
"Because a great many of the in-demand careers in the future will center around health care professions, this program offers students a head-start on developing their career interests," Kuhn said.
She said that students are challenged and exposed to math, science, reading, writing, communication and problem-solving and technical skills.
"They can take these learned skills and practice them in real life, like health care lab settings at NCCA," she said. "This relevant on-the-job practice of basic skills and technical skills makes them work ready and/or well prepared for post-secondary education."
Kuhn said that next semester, the program is planning to add a diagnostic services pathway for those students who are interested in learning more about careers as lab and medical technicians, and next year, she hopes they will be able to offer a pathway on physical medicine for pre-med and veterinary students.

What Makes a Hairstyle Stylish (2)
Previous Page
No overall style is perfect without the right make-up. If your make-up is messy, your nail polish chips off, the lipstick runs outside of the lines, the foundation is too dark and creates a line at the edge of your face, the eyeliner turns into an unwanted raccoon face, then it is time to refresh, redo and perhaps change some of your products.
Your face is the first thing other people see. Keep it fresh and clean with rather less than too much
. But use at least a little, like a sparkly lip gloss and some mascara together with a transparent powder. This will show that you take pride in your appearance and that you put some effort into it. Make it match your hairstyle and the vibe of your outfit. It will pull it all together and give you that final finish.
The Power of Accessories
Do not underestimate the fun little things that you can hang on to your ears or around your neck. Jewelry is also an important part of your appearance and by picking pieces that suit your, you will not only demonstrate good taste but also leave a subliminal mark in the impression someone has of you. All is connected!
Attitude Counts
Love yourself, be proud of yourself and keep a smile on your face. Confidence is not only expressed in the colors and textures that you wrap yourself up in from head to toe. Much more than that it sends an invisible message to the world and it will change the way you are regarded. And that will echo back to you and give you even more motivation and happy energy to do these extra little efforts that make the difference between just looking nice and looking stylish.
In summary it can be said that a stylish look is one that matches the individual person in type and vibe and can easily be maintained. A little skill and a few minutes are all that is needed to give it a finished and polished appearance that harmonizes with the style of the clothes and the accessories. It is the visible extra attention that we pay to ourselves.

Roger Brown gave me an update on "my book vs. the local library" saga early this morning:
Bob Whitaker,
I hated to miss todays Town Hall but I was having trouble with my computer. I have been hounding the library non-stop, through phone calls, emails and in person, about "Why Johnny Can't Think". In one email a couple of weeks ago, the librarian said that he had been informed that your book is racist propaganda. I asked him who said that but he never replied. Is it possible that your book is on some kind of ADL ban list?
That is neither here nor there though. The reason that I'm writing is to inform you that the librarian has just agreed to meet with me to pleed my case. Wish me luck.
I still think that I should have tryed to join the library in some fashion and work from the inside. However, I decided to trust your hundreds of years of experiance and just bug the **** out of them.
I keep saying that the other side recognizes how much more dangerous my book is than the usual "exposure" books that are long and detailed. My other books were in libraries all over America. My last one was in the library in Americus, Georgia. It was EVERYWHERE.
Not one single library has this one anywhere on earth.
You are one of maybe two or three people who have seen the significance of this. Our enemies are afraid of me the way they are afraid of practically nobody else. I was a professor, and I was on the political inside. I know how to hurt our enemies the way few others do.
They scream at the Great Exposures our leaders put out. They don't mind giving them SOME publicity. But they do not touch my book in any way.
There's a reason for that.
You are one of the very, very, very, very few people on our side who can see this.

Strawberry Ice Pops Two Ways
I went on a strawberry picking adventure last week and I am going to tell you all about it soon, but in light of the heat wave happening in NYC I thought I should share these super easy ice pops with you right away. This is a slapdash kind of recipe that only takes a few minutes to throw together and because the berries are never heated it truly preserves the fresh flavor of summer's finest. All you have to do is slice up some strawberries and throw them in a blender with some sweetener (any kind you like) and freeze. Then, once you've patiently waited a few hours you'll have the perfect treat to enjoy while sweating out the summer on your stoop or fire escape or back yard if you are really lucky.
More strawberry recipes soon!
Strawberry Vanilla Ice Pops
yield, about 6 depending on the size of your molds
This method would work with any berry that you have laying around so feel free to experiment. The only thing i wouldn't do is put whole pieces of fresh fruit in the pops. It looks pretty, but I find the icy chunks kind of unpleasant to eat.
1 pound strawberries washed and hulled
2-4 Tablespoons sweetener (honey, sugar, maple syrup, or agave) depending on the sweetness of your fruit
juice from 1/2 a lime
seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
tiny pinch salt
Slice the strawberries and toss them with the sugar, lime, vanilla, and salt. Let the berries macerate for about 15 minutes then blend the mixture thoroughly. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary. Strain the mixture to remove the seeds if you like, I didn't bother. Pour into your ice pop molds and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
Buttermilk Variation
Add 1/3 cup buttermilk to the blended strawberry mixture then freeze as desired. Alternately, add buttermilk to half of the strawberry mixture and make striped ice pops like these.

Inside the Benghazi Anniversary Attack: Local Reports Show Gravity of Herat Consulate Assault
State Department says it was a quick response amid high security, but Afghan reporters say attackers made it in the gates and Special Forces arrived after a two-hour gunbattle.
September 13, 2013 - 6:30 pm
A Taliban attack on a U.S. consulate in the early morning hours Friday initially highlighted longstanding fears in Congress of an accelerated withdrawal while President Obama insists that the war in the Afghanistan be ended by his hand.
Local reports of damage in Herat and the response, though, raise questions about just how much diplomatic security has been improved in the wake of the four deaths at Benghazi a year ago.
The feared repeat of a 9/11 Benghazi attack came two days after the anniversary when attackers deployed car bombs in an SUV and minivan at the gates to the U.S. consulate in northern Afghanistan, followed by a gun battle. Death tolls differed but the State Department said Friday afternoon that an interpreter was killed as well as three members of the Afghan police. As many as 20 civilians were injured by blown out windows in their homes. Seven attackers were killed.
The consulate, housed in a onetime five-star hotel, was not breached, the State Department stressed.
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said at today's press briefing that the attackers started with a car bomb, followed by an RPG fired at the consulate and another car bomb.
"We are again reminded of the very real human toll exacted by this kind of terrorism," Harf said.
"…Consulate security neutralized several suicide bombers attempting to breach the compound. The consulate's front gate was damaged, however the consulate's interior compound was not breached. Our security measures here were effective. The attackers were utilized. Our interior perimeter was not breached and no American lives were lost."
Harf expressed gratitude for "the quick response of the Afghan and the ISAF security forces who secured the facility and kept our personnel safe."
Perhaps mindful of the post-Benghazi concerns about consulate security, she quickly added, "Diplomatic security staff and contract security employees were equally a part of the response."
She said U.S. officials do live at the compound but were "temporarily relocated to Kabul at the moment." A U.S. Embassy spokesman in Kabul said essential personnel stayed in Herat.
"I'm not aware of any specific threat reporting leading up to the attack in Herat," Harf said. "Our security at all of our facilities in Afghanistan always operate at the highest level because it is an active war zone. So clearly, we — it's something we constantly review, and we'll continue to do so."
The consulate is closed "for the time being."
The report from Afghanistan's TOLO News painted a grim picture of the assault, including attackers making it past the consulate gate.
"The attack began around 5:30am when a suicide bomber detonated an explosive-laden SUV near the main gate of the consulate and then a second explosive-laden mini-van hit the gate itself, allowing five other attackers to pass the first gate and open fire on security forces inside the compound," TOLO's Saboor Ghafoory reported.
"The assailants engaged in a gun-battle with consulate security personnel and the Afghan forces for nearly two hours until they were finally shot and killed. The scene was reportedly secured by 7:30am."
Afghanistan's first 24/7 news channel said Afghan National Army and special unit soldiers responded to the consulate to assist the guards and U.S. forces stationed there, yet reported "after the attack ended, American Special Forces came to the site and entered the consulate to secure the building."
A reporter on the scene just minutes after the first explosion, TOLO's Jawed Zyratjahi, said the main gate was broken and windows were blown out of the seven-story consulate. "The magnitude of the explosions in front of the consulate gate were so immense that the windows of houses within 1 kilometer of the attack were shattered as well."

Kragthorpe: Grabavoy's kick stands alone in RSL lore
Having won the 2005 MLS Cup with the Los Angeles Galaxy, Real Salt Lake midfielder Ned Grabavoy treasures the bonding a championship creates.
"You're locked with that group of guys and coaches and organization forever," he said.
Yet on his way to another title game, Grabavoy found himself isolated.
First, a case of the H1N1 virus removed him from the team several days, causing him to miss the first leg of the playoff series with Columbus.
Two weeks later, he stood alone in front in the net in Chicago, preparing to deliver the biggest kick in franchise history.
And now, having personally shipped his team to Seattle for Sunday's MLS Cup against the Galaxy, Grabavoy knows he may not even get onto the field as a substitute. "Nothing's promised," he said.
Actually, that makes his starring role of last weekend all the more improbable. The circumstances that resulted in Grabavoy's being in such a dramatic position in that game all conspired to brighten a season he described as "probably my most difficult year in the league."
Released by the second-year San Jose Earthquakes in March, Grabavoy was taken by RSL in the waiver draft and never could establish himself as a starter. He played in only 20 of 30 regular-season games with eight starts and did not appear in the playoffs until the 123rd minute of the Eastern Conference final at Chicago, where the Illinois native was inserted by coach Jason Kreis just so he would be eligible for the penalty-kick phase to follow.
Even then, Grabavoy became involved only when the shootout went beyond the standard five rounds, and RSL's Fabian Espindola missed high on his game-winning chance. After another save by RSL's Nick Rimando, Grabavoy came through as the ball bounced off the goalkeeper's hand and into the net in a shot that's being replayed often this week in ESPN's promotion of the MLS Cup.
"Even if I wasn't in that situation, even if I'd played a lot less this season than I had, I'd still be as happy and proud of this team and where we're going," Grabavoy said.
Teammates say that sentiment is genuine. Describing him as "a great locker-room guy," defender Nat Borchers said. "I'm so, so happy for Ned, because he's struggled to get in the starting lineup this year."
After winning an NCAA championship with Indiana, Grabavoy started for a less glamorous Galaxy team --- one he considers similar to RSL -- in 2005, his second year in the league. He played 66 minutes of a 1-0, double-overtime upset of New England.
"To have a moment like that with teammates you're close with and guys you've worked and sweated with for a whole season, it was truly unbelievable," he said, remembering the "complete mayhem" after the final whistle.
The following May, Grabavoy was traded to Columbus. He joined the expansion Earthquakes last year and started 21 games, while missing six weeks with a sports hernia injury, then landed with RSL, quickly discovering a talented team he believed could contend for a title.
The unpleasant side effect was far less playing time than he was accustomed to. RSL endured a mostly frustrating season until doing just enough to make the playoffs, closing the regular season with a 3-0 win over Colorado as Grabavoy entered the game in the 62nd minute.
Then came the swine flu experience and his long wait to make a postseason contribution. The ultimate result was a moment never to be forgotten in RSL lore.
"There were a million plays in that game where guys did great things to help put us in this position," Grabavoy said.
None of them, of course, will be remembered quite like the last kick, provided by the unlikely kicker, who now can only hope he'll get to do more than watch in Seattle.
Regardless, Grabavoy is eager to share in another title. "After winning a championship, you're at a complete high," he said. "After that, you train every year and you play so many games, and you try to get back to that point, because you want that high, you want that feeling. Hopefully, everyone can experience that."

We had significant landscape drainage problems other firms did not address. C&M "listened" to our concerns, designed a solution, scheduled the work, did not try to sell us unnecessary plantings but instead incorporated existing plantings into the plan, then supervised and installed the complete job. Great experience from start to finish. We are very satisfied and would hire C&M again.
We had a large sinkhole forming in our side yard and I contacted C&M to give me an estimate to fix. Michael Staley spoke to me extensively on the phone before he even came out to view it. Even though there was a consultation fee, I had him come out. I'm sure glad that I did. Because of the consult fee, I felt very confident that Michael was doing just that - consulting with us over the issue, not trying to sell us some services. It was worth every penny and in return, we received a great education and peace of mind. I will be sure and contact them in the future if I ever need any work done.
We used C&M to take care of 2 sinkholes, landscaping our back yard, taking down an old deck and building a new bigger deck with cable railing. They did a wonderful job on everything and did exactly what they said they were going to do. Their workers were very professional, competent, and friendly and we would certainly use them again. We give them an A+.

I contacted C&M to provide an estimate for bamboo and vine removal to the left of our garage. C&M completed the work, hauled away the debris and made our yard look so much better! My husband and I were so impressed with their work, that we signed on for regular lawn maintenance! C&M is a great company with super helpful, courteous employees!
I called because of a large hole forming in my front yard. Michael asked me a bunch of questions and figured out over the phone and email that the problem was with the city sewer line that runs under my yard. He spent all kinds of time helping me figure out I didn't need to hire them. He was patient and friendly.
Did a lot of research trying to find a company that thad a lot of experience with removing pools and found C&M. They answered all my questions and took time to look at all areas of the yard and driveway that would be affected by the traffic and weight of the dump trucks. We totally removed the pool, including all the concrete and plumbing, filled it in, and covered the area with sod. I really like that they stamp the dirt down with a special piece of machinery, so that there is much less chance of settling. They took care not to damage any existing landscaping and they cleaned everything up, so you'd never know they'd been there. I felt they were very honest in providing an estimate and identifying areas where the cost could change once they got into it and they better understood what they were dealing with. They really do have a lot of experience removing pools (which they consider as sinkholes). I'd heard war stories of pool removals turning into nightmares as area around the pools collapsed, serious settling occurred when the fill dirt wasn't compacted correctly, damage to landscaping and driveways from the dump trucks, etc. C&M's experience and professionalism made this a stressless experience for me. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to remove pool and I will use them in the future for other projects.
Hired C&M Residential to build an arbor/pergola on our existing deck. Michael Staley came out on a few occasions to hear what we wanted and provided lots of great information. He came back with a few options and proposals. Michael provided an estimate, not a solid quote, but I was pleased that the final price came in less than $100 off from his quote. The arbor turned out even better than we hoped and it looks great. We plan to have them back for additional work later this year. Definitely recommend C&M for any outdoor work you need done.
Michael Staley, of C&M, is extremely thorough and conscientious. We had a builder's pit in our front yard that was effecting our front porch. Not only did he listen to what we wanted but also presented his ideas. He laid out a plan (pit, porch, lawn, irrigation, sidewalk) and deviated only when necessary. The team that worked the pit pulled out some 20 - 25 tree trunks/root systems. They filled the hole back up using a trench compactor. The carpenters, upon discovery and it was obvious, told us the porch was not correctly attached to the house. It could not simply be raised back into position. It had to be removed and a new one constructed. We thoroughly concurred. Each stage of the project was billed separately and payment was made when completely satisfied. The patience and meticulous nature of each team was evident in how they approached their job. And when it became necessary for any one team to come back for "adjustment/tweaking" there was no hesitation. We had a lot done, but in the end we are completely satisfied, our curb appeal increased 100% and we will be using them again.
We chose C&M to replace our original driveway and walkway mainly because their bidding process went beyond the driveway/walkway to point out the need for storm water drainage at the driveway and the foundation. The original driveway had become a roller coaster caused by many years of existing next to a very large bull pine. After the tree was taken out, C&M corrected the drainage problems, replaced the driveway and walkway, planted lovely shrubs, and the results are very satisfying. Each team that came out was very efficient. We highly recommend C&M!
Have used C&M for various projects throughout the past 1.5 years. Have, on occasion, foolishly tried other providers to save a couple of bucks, but always end up coming back to C&M whenever I need it done right. Very professional!
We've used C&M for many years to take care of both large scale and smaller landscape projects. They built 2 large and attractive retaining walls on difficult terrain that will probably last longer than the house. C&M workers are always skilled, reliable and very hard working guys. We get good advice from Mike, detailed estimates and a thorough explanation of all the factors in each job. We're happy to recommend C&M for stonework, planting and yard care.
We have used C&M Landscape 3 different times following a neighbor's recomendation and the results have results have always been above expectations. We have had a pool removed and the backyard relandscaped, the front yard repaired and a drainage problem solved. They have done an outstanding job and I highly recommend them

C&M has done a fabulous job improving our backyard area. We look forward to many wonderful new improvements in the future!

Darjeeling standoff: GJM defies CM ultimatum
A direct face off is imminent as Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) president Bimal Gurung on Saturday refused to withdraw the indefinite Darjeeling shut down, barely hours after West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee's ultimatum to end the bandh within 72 hours or face "strong action".
Reacting to the government's ultimatum during the day from the Writers Buildings, GJM supremo Bimal Gurung dared the chief minister to take action and said the indefinite strike would be continued for Gorkha statehood.
GJM's assistant secretary Binay Tamang said they would intensify the agitation and if anything happens during the movement then the government must take responsibility.
"If the bandh is not withdrawn within 72 hours, the government would be forced to take strong action," Banerjee announced while Darjeeling shutdown entered the 8th day crippling life on the hills totally.
"Enough is enough," said the chief minister pointing out that no county or the state was divided on racial basis.
She said there was vested interest parties looking for an MP seat (Darjeeling) and provoking or inciting the division of the people.
Ruling out any division of West Bengal, Banerjee asked the GJM to "call off the strike for the interest of the people, for the region, for the state and for the all round development".
She also asked the Union government not to interfere in the state's matter.
"I request the Centre not to interfere in the matters of the state. It's our matter and we would solve it. The Centre is pursuing a divide and rule policy. I would request them not to try to break Bengal. This is a sick mentality," she said.
"There is some trouble with broadcasting on satellite channels. It is a routine check-up. As soon as the cable operators show their papers, we would allow telecast again. It is a small matter," she said.
"I will tell my friends in Darjeeling to end the strike now for the welfare of the people." Banerjee said.
"Darjeeling is our heart. It is a part and parcel of West Bengal," she said.
She however, did not spell out what sort of action would be initiated if the bandh was not withdrawn by next three days.
Meanwhile, the security forces on the hills beefed up policing and patrolling and rounded up 190 activists so far, according to Darjeeling superintendent of police Kunal Agarwal.

Near-zero short-term interest rate policies, or "ZIRP," in the U.S., Europe and other developed countries and regions is a "huge complication" for emerging markets, as India and others are challenged to balance growth with holding inflation in check, CME Group Chief Economist Blu Putnam wrote.
In India, for example, capital control policies "emphasize a desire to maintain local control of foreign investment where possible," Putnam said in a December 18 report, "Emerging Market Currencies in a 'ZIRP' World," coinciding with the launch of a CME Group futures contract based on the Indian rupee.
A relatively insular country, India's domestic entities face a myriad of rules and restrictions when trying to move money outside the country, Putnam said. "While India appears to have amazing long-term potential, many observers see its heavy-handed bureaucracy, capital restrictions, and currency controls as being a drag on economic growth while making the control of domestic inflation extremely hard," he said.
India typically used control short-term rates as a tool for managing inflation expectations, while allowing the rupee to absorb the volatility. "This has been on display recently, as the rupee declined relative to the U.S. dollar due to concerns over India's policy toward foreign investment… (and) rising inflation pressures," he said.

AwareLabs The Easy And Fast Website Builder That Works
Website + Marketing = More Visitors Faster
No Coding, No Designing, No Graphics Editing, No Plugins, No Getting Stuck
First Pick A Website And Marketing Guide Below
Unlike a template that shows you how to build a site...
Guides show you how to build a site and market it at the same time...
So when youre done, you have traffic.
Auto Mechanic Website
Independent auto mechanics thrive on customer referrals and word of mouth but a good website can help. The key is to balance time invested with expectations. For most customers an auto repair shop is about trust and convenience. The plan is build something convenient, trust building, and easy to maintain.
Bicycle Shop Website
At its core a bicycle shop is a community of cyclists. The best thing a bicycle shop can do on their website is connect with that community. Its key to not only list parts and services your shop offers, but really highlight local cycling individuals, groups, causes, and trends.
Blog Website
There are many reasons to build a blog but only one or two ways to do it right. Aside from the ultimate goal of building a blog, its main purpose is to attract and engage an audience. To do that effectively a blog must have great content and a solid platform of tools necessary to promote that content. Boiling down the hundreds of options out there, AwareLabs has created a streamlined realistic approach to blogging that builds audience with the lowest effective effort possible. Our website platform supports everything needed to build a blog out of the box.
Butcher Shop Website
A butcher shop is all about fresh, local, quality cuts. Your customers are going to you because they want quality and healthy meats. Your website needs to highlight your shop brand, staff expertise, and product quality. Your client base draws from within a 10 mile radius, your website needs to attract and bring in local customers.
Chiropractor Website
A chiropractor's website needs to make a good first impression. Clients need to feel confident in your abilities, atmosphere, and results. They are trusting you with their well being. Since injury is the most common reason for seeking a chiropractor, the site needs to showcase injury related content and services. Luckily thats exactly what you offer.
Coffee Shop Website
Your coffee shop is all about presenting an atmosphere and a presence to your local community. Remember you are attracting customers from a small area around your shop, any marketing tasks you undertake must be effective locally. The key to your website will be content that highlights your brand and atmosphere. The strategy below leverages the strengths of what a coffee shop already does to create a solid online presence. Some of the steps depend on each other, you can always come back and complete the remaining tasks later.
Insurance Agent Website
Insurance agents offer a critical and frankly little understood service. The complexity of home, auto, life, and health insurance is beyond the willpower of most people to really learn and understand. An insurance agent bridges that complexity gap by managing policies for individuals and families. A good insurance agent website will help bridge that gap by offering compelling information online that helps people trust the agent and engage them.
Law Firm Website
Your law firm needs to present confidence and instill a sense of professionalism in your clients. Law has many segments, your site needs to focus on providing the right content for your specialty. The key to your website will be providing enough expertise online to instill confidence. Testimonials and a history of past clients goes a long way to impress. We will leverage your existing and new cases to build up a site full of rich client professional content without forcing you to babysit your website daily.
Marketing Agency Website
A good marketing agency leads by example and so should a marketing agency website. Having a great look and feel is as important as demonstrating processes that convert visitors into customers. For marketing agencies the core of a good website is showcasing a portfolio, introducing the team, and creating landing pages that convert.
Online Store Website
Shopping online is almost always a discretionary activity. Consumers can get any item from dozens of online vendors, margins are thin, and distractions are plentiful. On top of all that, search engines are assigning more and more value to user behavior to determine search rank for sites. Sites with more users and longer visits typically do better at sales. As a result the focus for commerce is to build a funnel that attracts, engages, convinces, and converts customers.
Personal Website
Marketing and branding yourself is much easier when you have complete control of your online presence. Online image today is composed of subtle nuances that are difficult to capture when spread across different websites. You are the books you read, the invoices you send to clients, the restaurants you endorse, and the fund raisers you organize. Shouldn't all that be in one place, called your website? The modern professional needs to focus on bringing every aspect of his/her professional and personal life under one site. This makes it easier to capture and leverage the things you do every day as personal marketing and branding material.
Photography Website
Photography is the art of capturing moments and sharing them with others. You're great at photographing the moments, shouldn't your website be great at showing them off? Your website should inspire people to hire you for your abilities, it should clearly indicate how to engage your services, and it should give your clients the opportunity to recommend you to others. With those goals in mind AwareLabs can help you build the perfect photography website.
Private School Website
Schools already do great things, you just have to make sure the parents can see that. As busy as most administrators are its tough to stay on top of everything. Thats why its important to showcase only the key assets like teachers, facilities, and parent testimonials on your website.
Don't Get Trapped In A Template

129. Humanitarian Use Devices
FDA allows manufacturers to ship medical devices that are intended to benefit patients in the treatment and diagnosis of diseases or conditions that affect or are manifested in fewer than 4,000 individuals in the US per year. These devices are sometimes called humanitarian-use devices (HUD).IRB approval is required for a HUD because of the special circumstances that govern approval and use of a HUD device. Because a randomized clinical trial was not performed on the product, FDA made a determination of the relative safety of the device and the probable benefit to patients from the available data. However, FDA expects that final decision as to that probable benefit vs. the risks, for an institution, rests with the IRB. Also, the patients who typically qualify for receipt of an HUD device have few options and the FDA wants to make certain that patients are treated appropriately given the compromised medical condition that qualify them for use of the device. By requiring IRB approval, FDA is allowing the review board to make the final decision as to whether or not the device should be used by their physicians and to have a prospective dialogue with the physicians regarding its use.
- Device manufacturers must obtain a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) from the FDA in order to market such devices.
- IRB may request University and affiliate investigators include the HDE and device labeling with the IRB application packet to use an HUD for treatment, diagnosis or research.
- The HUD application must be submitted prior to the use of the device except in an emergency, as addressed below.
- A physician or healthcare provider must be listed as the responsible clinician on the HUD application submitted to the IRB.
- All other clinicians or healthcare providers who have the appropriate privileges and credentials and intend to administer the HUD for its approved indications must be listed on the application.
- Patients must be told about the use of an HUD via a patient consent document or information sheet; or the manufacturer's brochure.
NOTE: by law, informed consent specific to use of the HUD device is not required. However, IRBs may require that patient consent, specific to use of the device, is obtained. In these cases, physicians must abide by the rules set forth for their institution by the reviewing IRB.
- Patients must be informed of the following:
- risks and potential benefits of the HUD,
- procedures associated with the use of the device, and
- statement that the device is a humanitarian use device for which effectiveness for the labeled indication has not been demonstrated.
- The IRB may not approve uses that exceed the scope of the FDA-approved indications. However, the University IRB may limit the scope of the FDA-approved indications or impose additional restrictions.
The Biomedical IRB does not require review of each individual use of an HUD as long as the device is used for the FDA-approved indications and with regard for any additional IRB restrictions.
Clinical Use of HUD
Use of HUD in accordance with the terms of the approved HDE and device labeling is not considered to be research as defined by the FDA; this use is considered clinical use of an approved device.
Clinical uses of HUDs must initially be reviewed and approved by the convened Biomedical IRB. At that time, the convened IRB may determine that continuing reviews may be completed via expedited review procedures as long as no unanticipated problems occur during the review period. Continuing review must be completed at least annually for clinical uses of HUD.
Investigational Use of HUD
In addition to its clinical use, an HDE holder may collect safety and effectiveness data for the HDE-approved indications. While this use constitutes a clinical investigation, FDA considers the investigation exempt from the requirement to obtain an IDE as long as the device is being used as approved in the HDE and device labeling, and the HUD is not an SR device.
Such investigational uses of NSR HUDs require IRB approval and informed consent. Clinical investigations involving NSR HUDs will initially and continually be reviewed at convened IRB meetings.
Physician Reporting Requirements for HUD Use
At continuing review, physicians must report the number of HUD uses that fall within the FDA-approved indications and IRB limitations (if applicable).
Physicians must report changes to the HDE, FDA actions, or changes to the FDA-approved indications (promptly or within five days of learning about the actions or changes).
- Examples from FDA include HDE amendments or supplemental approval letters.
- Examples from the HUD manufacturer include amended product labeling, or clinical brochure or patient brochure.
As soon as possible but no more than 10 days, physicians must inform the IRB and FDA after receiving information that reasonably suggests a device with an approved HDE under her or his use (or a similar device marketed by the manufacturer or importer) may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or has malfunctioned; or would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur.
Emergency Use of an HUD
If a physician in an emergency situation determines that IRB approval cannot be obtained in time to prevent serious harm or death to a patient, an HUD may be used without prior IRB approval. Within five days of the emergency use of an HUD, the physician must provide the IRB with the following:
- a description of the patient's condition;
- the circumstances necessitating use of the device;
- a discussion of why alternative therapies or diagnostics are unsatisfactory; and
- information to address the patient protection measures.
All FDA actions and any changes to the FDA-approved indication for the use of the HUD must be reported to the IRB by the clinician or healthcare provider who requested use of the HUD as soon as possible, but no later than 5 working days after receiving knowledge of such actions or changes.
- Related correspondence from the HUD manufacturer (e.g., amended product labeling, clinical brochure, and patient brochure) or FDA (e.g., HDE amendment or supplement approval letters) must be submitted to the IRB.
- The initial review of the HUD application will occur at the next convened IRB meeting.
- The IRB will have among its members (or consultants) the appropriate experience and expertise to perform a complete and adequate review of the use of the HUD at that institution.
- The physician will receive correspondence from the IRB regarding determination similar to any other Board action.

Burton Restricted Mission bindings - bad ratchets?
View Single Post
Join Date: Dec 2012
Location: Burlington, VT, USA
Posts: 56
I'm going to give you a little insight into our buckles.
1. We invented the self retracting buckle which first appeared on our 1995 binding line. One of the engineers on that project was Paul Maravetz. He's also largely responsible for the Burton Custom and Balance boards models. Now he's the co-owner of Rome snowboards and their principle board engineer. He's an incredible engineer and phenomenally nice guy.
2. Starting in 2002, 10 buckles produced out of each production lot, per hour, are put through a cycle test at -20 degrees F. They are cycled 5,000 times by a machines that we engineered and then made because we can't walk into a hardware store and buy a machine to test the things we make.
An average snowboarder rides roughly 7 days a year. They take 10 runs per day. And they cycle the lever 4 times before taking each run. That means in an average season half of the buckles (due to the front boot strapped and being cycled less) we make see 280 cycles.
After that testing, we have a crew of on-snow testers that will ride each binding model we make from between 40 and 200 hours. Some even up to 900 hours.
Some folks, as our customers or potential customers, ride more and some less, but our buckles are tested to not fail for 17 seasons and not break.
Some do and we totally get that. That's why we have a spare parts department that determines the failure rate in the field (real world environment) and places spare parts into resort and city shops to a replacement can easily be found.
Why? Because we know that a buckle get's touched more than any other component that we make. The more something gets touched, the more prone it is to failure.
3. the issue that tokyo_dom is experiencing is due to this:
- the metal lever is attached to metal teeth in a single component. the tongue is a softer polymer call TPU (thermo poly-urethane). The metal, a cast molded 6061 Aluminum, is wearing the teeth on the TPU tongue because the users hand is twisting the lever a little bit. It's common and it's not that big of a deal. In fact it basically happens with every buckle and tongue combo in the industry.
So, our upper binding models over $200.00 US Dollars have a dual component buckle where the barrel of the buckle (which had the teeth) is plastic, polycarbonate to be specific, and operate somewhat independently of the metal lever. As the teeth on the barrel and tongue (TPU Ladder Strap) are both a plastic, it is less likely to wear either part.
This buckle which is featured on all Burton Bindings above $200.00 USD, has more parts, enough that we can only afford to put in on higher end models due to how many parts it has.
All that said; i'm sorry you feel like our craftsmanship below a Cartel is shoddy or sub-par. But it's tested to the exact same standards as our highest end bindings and have been for over a decade.
Should you have any further questions, I'd gladly have a conversation with you about what specifically in the product that we make is felt to be sub-par assuming that this is not a faceless and uneducated comment based on your thought or thoughts / opinions towards the brand i'm employed by and not the quantitative quality of the product that myself and my team make.

WASHINGTON (AP) — An airline industry trade group predicts that passenger traffic over the Thanksgiving holiday will drop 4 percent from last year.
The Air Transport Association made the forecast yesterday despite deep discounting by airlines over the past several months.
U.S. airlines have struggled this year with declining traffic during the recession. They cut fares for the peak summer vacation season and have eliminated many unprofitable flights to save money.
With fewer flights, planes are likely to be full over Thanksgiving, the trade group said.
The group said passengers should pack light, check the status of their flight before going to the airport, and get to the airport early.
