When it comes to draft analysts, there are not many better than Emmy award-winning NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock. The former collegiate defensive back turned draft expert holds an encyclopedia-like knowledge of the game and is NFL Network's premier draft guru. Mayock releases monthly positional rankings beginning the days before the NFL combine in February, and also does several conference calls with media, answering anything and everything about the upcoming draft.
To go along with the release of his somewhat controversial April positional rankings, yesterday Mayock participated in one of his patented extended conference calls. He answered various media outlets' questions on the draft for two hours. On the call, Mayock spoke on a wide range of topics, including potential prospects that could become picks for the Dolphins next weekend.
One of the names Mayock mentioned several times throughout the call was Notre Dame offensive lineman Zack Martin. Projected as a potential pick for the Dolphins in many mock drafts, Martin is one of the most versatile players in the entire draft class. He has the ability to play almost any position across the offensive line. Mayock believes that Martin will be long gone by the time the Dolphins' pick comes around at #19, probably within the 9-13 area.
"I love the kid," said Mayock. "He's too good. He's too safe. There are too many offensive line needs out there. There are a bunch of teams that look at him and say, 'He could start at right tackle day one, maybe we move him inside to guard or center the next year'. He's awesome. He's about as safe a player as there is in this draft. If you want him, you better get him early."
So who's an option for the Dolphins if Martin is off the board #19? The buzz still has Miami looking at an offensive lineman. The 6'7 322 pound Cyrus Kouandjio of Alabama is the highest rated offensive lineman on Mayock's board after Greg Robinson, Jake Matthews, Taylor Lewan and Martin. He sees Miami as a possible destination for the first-team All-American.
"In my head, Zack is going to be gone," said Mayock. "There's no way in the world he gets close to 19. That means that the last first-round tackle I have is Cyrus Kouandjio. I have him later as far as on my board, but I think he's the guy they probably have to take at 19. They have to make over that offensive line. He would be the highest-rated guy left."
If the Dolphins don't value Kouandjio that high, they could always trade down to add to their seven draft picks or go in a different direction. Several mock drafts have the Dolphins selecting defensive stars like C.J. Mosley and Bradley Roby, but Mayock believes it may be at a position that Miami is already pretty loaded with talent at: wide receiver.
"I think a wide receiver would pique my interest there," said Mayock. "At that point a (Odell) Beckham or (Brandin) Cooks. You'd have to take a look at those two players and say are they significantly more highly rated than Kouandjio is. If so, you pull the trigger on the wideout."
Going with a position other than offensive lineman in the first round would likely mean that the Dolphins would go in that direction on Day 2, with players like Ohio State tackle Jack Mewhort, Tennessee tackles Ja'Wuan James and Antonio Richardson, and Nevada offensive lineman Joel Bitonio. Mayock is a big fan of Bitonio especially, and sees him as one of the drafts hidden gems.
"A guy that nobody is talking about that I love is Joel Bitonio from Nevada," said Mayock. "Most people assume he's a guard. I watched him handle Anthony Barr from UCLA. I watched him against Florida State. I watched him against Boise who has a good edge kid in Demarcus Lawrence. I think Bitonio will start day one at right tackle."

Snow Cones in a bag with HeftyKelsey Banfield
My daughter recently came to love the snow cone. What's not to like? I agree, they are fun, icy and refreshing. The only problem I have with them is that they are so incredibly messy. What I chose to do on a recent afternoon was serve the snow cone in a bag instead of a cone. So, in a way it as a snow bag. I simply added the crushed iced, flavored syrup and handed the kids a spoon. It was much less messy and more portable. Next time I might take the in the cooler to the beach!
Snow Cones in a Bag
1 finely crushed ice
2 to 3 tablespoons flavored syrup

News: Soldiers honor fallen comrades with memorial run
Story by Sgt. Leejay Lockhart
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. – Soldiers of the 101st Special Troops Battalion, 101st Sustainment Brigade, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), from Fort Campbell, Ky., arrived early for physical training April 16, 2013, to commemorate one of the most tragic days in the battalion's history. Headed by recently cased colors, the unit stretched as the first rays of sunlight began to appear on the horizon. Lt. Col. Derek G. Bean, the battalion commander, addressed his somber formation shortly before the start of the second annual Gamberi Memorial Run.
"Today marks the second anniversary of the incident that happened … April 16, 2011, at FOB [Forward Operating Base] Gamberi," said Bean. "On this day two years ago … [an] insider threat took five members of our formation."
The unit members who died in the attack are Sgt. 1st Class Charles Lewis Adkins, 35, of Sandusky, Ohio. Spc. Joseph Brian Cemper, 21, of Warrensburg, Mo. Spc. Sonny Moses, 22, of Hagatna, Guam. Sgt. Linda Lamou Pierre, 28, of Immokalee, Fla. and Staff Sgt. Cynthia Renea Taylor, 39, of Columbus, Ga.
In addition to the five soldiers from the 101st Special Troops Battalion, the attack also killed Capt. Charles E. Ridgley Jr., 40, of Baltimore, Md., Master Sgt. (Ret.) Paul Almryde, 46, of San Diego, and four members of the Afghan National Army.
Venerating the sacrifices that soldiers have made is an important tradition across the Army. So for the second year in a row, the unit brought out photos of the battalion's five fallen soldiers, reminding veterans and informing new members of the battalion's formation of the sacrifice those Soldiers made at FOB Gamberi.
The Army calls family members of fallen soldiers Gold Star Families. In a letter dated December 20, 2011 Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond T. Odierno addressed the importance of Gold Star Families.
"I know that words will never fully express the sense of loss that you feel, but I assure you that our Army and our Nation will never forget those that bravely gave their last full measure in defense of our freedom," wrote Odierno. "I humbly thank all of you on behalf of the soldiers, civilians and families of the United States Army."
Although words will never bring back the dead, comrades-in-arms, unit leadership and the Army work to keep their memory alive. The Gamberi Memorial Run is just one way of doing that.
Friends and Families of the fallen joined the soldiers in the memorial run. The Adkins' family honored the battalion by joining the unit for the remembrance. Adkins' children ran with the battalion's commander Bean and the unit colors at the head of the formation.
"It's a day we'll never forget," said Bean. "It's a day that will always be with us. It's a day that as long as I'm in command, we'll continue to do these Gamberi runs."
With the latest deployment drawing near, the run was a sad reminder of the dangers and challenges soldiers face down range as they step up to protect the Nation.
"It's something that we always have to keep in the back of our minds as to what's happened and those that we've lost," said Bean. "We're going to deploy here shortly and some of us will find ourselves in the same FOBs and the same AOs [Area of Operation]. We'll always take forward the memories of those that have come before us."

28 y/o in a week.
I just recently got into cycling again and my garage is slowly filling with bicycles as I come across vintage/old bicycles at garage sales & thrift stores and realize that I know the fabrication processes & alloy types, but relatively little about the bicycles themselves. Eg. Today I picked up what I believe to be an early 80s road bike branded "American Flyer" (Made in Japan) S#81 5 85***; I'm working on finding out more details on it (it was manufactured by Kuwahara Cycle Ltd) and drawing blanks.
My first bicycle is a Puch Ultima. I <3, but it is approaching the point in it's life where it needs to be sandblasted & powdercoated before it runs the risk of corrosion from chipped paint.
My girlfriend rides a couple different vintage bicycles, her favorite is a Fuji mixte, but she also rides a Peugeot mixte.

Dust you are, to dust you shall return. (Genesis 3:19)
The Boston Center for the Arts presents artist Jordan Eagles in his debut solo Boston exhibition, Jordan Eagles: Blood Dust. Eagles presents a group of unsettling as well as sublimely beautiful hybrid sculptures and paintings, utilizing blood from slaughtered cattle as a medium to explore profound perceptions of life, death and resurrection. Curated by art historian Francine Miller, this exhibition comprises fourteen wall pieces and free-standing sculptures from 2011 to the present, featuring fresh, aged and dried blood ("Blood Dust"). In these works, poured, sprinkled and soaked blood is meticulously encased and preserved in layers of clear UV resin on Plexiglas to create polished minimalist forms that act as reflective and self-reflective surfaces on which to meditate.
Jordan Eagles' work is also on view at the LaMontagne Gallery in South Boston, opening April 12.

ASUS bundles the motherboard in a green box with the name of the board on it, the features of the board including support for the AM3 CPU, and a list of the main features including EPU, SLI Express Gate and the 8+1 Phase Power Design. The rear of the box has a detailed description of the features of the motherboard and the contact information for ASUS.
Opening the box we can see ASUS went the middle road with the motherboard bundle. There are four SATA Data cables, allowing the end-user to install four drives in RAID without buying another cable. The SLI Bridge is useful as you need one to do 2-way SLI on this board. The Q-Connector allows you to install the Front Panel IO connections at one go for convenience.
Software-wise, the M4N72-E motherboard comes with the usual suite of software including PC Probe II (Hardware monitoring), ASUS Update (BIOS Update), Norton's Internet Security 2009 (Anti-Virus+Personal Firewall), MediaOne, and PhotoImpact. TurboV is ASUS's overclocking utility which I will cover more in the BIOS and Overclocking section of the review.

Newsweek's Green Rankings looks at the five hundred largest publically traded U.S. based companies. Each company is given a total Green Score, and the Green Score is comprised of three sub scores. What are those sub scores? An Environmental Impact Score (EIS), a Green Policies Score (GPS) and a Reputation Survey Score (RSS). The Environmental Impact Score includes over seven hundred and fifty metrics and accounts for forty-five percent of the total score. The Green Policies Score also accounts for forty-five percent of the total, with ten percent going to the reputation survey (which is a survey of environmental officers, CEOs and academics).
Dell, the Austin computer company ranked as the greenest company of 2010 in the survey.

After the working day many of us might contemplate, with some relief, a few hours free time in the evening but for one Spanish doctor in Majorca, that's when his other working life begins.
Back in 2010, Dr Jorge Muños, head paediatrician at Palmaplanas USP hospital in Palma, was visited by Sister Magdalena Ribas, a Majorcan nun and nurse, who had spent 34 years working with the poor in Chad. She had heard about him through the medical grapevine and was sure that he was the one to help her save St Joseph's hospital in Bebedjia, in southern Chad. Jorge Muños, a father of four young children, who runs a hugely busy paediatrics department, initially questioned the wisdom of offering his limited time and resources to a far flung hospital on the verge of closure.
For it transpired that St Joseph's which Sister Magdalena had directed voluntarily since… Read more

Tarpeia, in Roman mythology, daughter of the commander of the Capitol in Rome during the Sabine War. Traditionally, she offered to betray the citadel if the Sabines would give her what they wore on their left arms, i.e., their golden bracelets; instead, keeping to their promise, they threw their shields on her and crushed her to death. The story may have been an attempt to account for the Tarpeian Rock, a cliff on the Capitoline Hill over which murderers and traitors were thrown.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Russell Westbrook gets the job done in the end in win over Mavericks
Russell Westbrook limped along, much like his team, his knee hurting and his pride more so.
The Thunder had been outmuscled, outsmarted and outshot by this ghost of a Maverick team. Even outUCLA'd. Westbrook's old Bruin running buddy, Darren Collison, was en route to 32 points, his second-most as a pro.
Meanwhile, Westbrook, the NBA's sixth-leading scorer, didn't even reach double digits until overtime.
But love him or loathe him, and there are multitudes on both sides, give Westbrook his due. He never goes gently into the night. The lightning always finds the Thunder point guard, and it did so again Thursday night.
Westbrook scored eight straight Thunder points in overtime, delivering to the Boomers a game they had no business winning. The Thunder beat the Mavs 111-105 despite playing its worst game of the season.
The Thunder was ragged on defense and stagnant on offense. The Thunder was on the run all game long against a shell of the team that won the NBA title a mere 18 months ago.
Shawn Marion no longer is the Matrix. Dirk Nowitzki, in just his second game of the season after October knee surgery, made only three of 11 shots. O.J. Mayo didn't score until late in the third quarter.
Mav coach Rick Carlisle has been so frustrated with Collison, he gave Derek Fisher nine starts in Collison's place. Dallas came into this one 12-16, having lost six of seven.
The Thunder should have run the Mavs out of the gym. Instead, the opposite almost happened.
And Westbrook was part of that. His playmaking was actually good — Westbrook finished with 10 assists, a virtual miracle on this wayward night — but his defense on Collison was awful, and Westbrook couldn't find the basket.
Of course, Westbrook being Westbrook, he still plays.
"That's what Russell does," Scotty Brooks said. "He's a competitor. He fights. He didn't have a good first half. But he kept fighting.
"I love Russell. Love what he does. Love what he's about."
Westbrook had two steals down the stretch of regulation to key a Thunder comeback. The latter seemed to give OKC the victory, until Collison hit a loose-ball, throw-it-up, 3-point prayer at the buzzer to forge overtime.
Westbrook went to overtime having made just four of 16 shots.
But Kevin Durant, who had a quiet 40 points, gave his Sundance Kid a pep talk.
"Before the ball tipped, I told him this is his time," Durant said. "And he came out there and responded and made some big plays.
"He was just frustrated with himself. I think he let it take over him a little bit. We all do it. He just let it go and came out there and made some really, really big plays and in the overtime really took over."
You could tell Westbrook's confidence was dented. He missed an 18-footer on OKC's first overtime possession. Then when Dallas took a 104-101 lead, Westbrook took a backdoor pass from Thabo Sefolosha and dropped the ball in the basket, but not with his usual force.
On the next Thunder possession, with a chance to take the lead, Westbrook had an open 16-footer. He hesitated. You rarely see doubt in Westbrook's demeanor, but we might have seen it then. If so, it was fleeting.
Westbrook regrouped, forged shooting space and nailed a 16-footer a few feet closer to the baseline.
"Sometimes you have nights like that," Westbrook said. "You just gotta continue to fight through it."
The Thunder never lost the lead. Westbrook scored on a drive to give OKC a 107-104 lead, then made two foul shots to make it 109-105 with 20.7 seconds left.
When it was over, Westbrook found Collison, with whom he shared the UCLA backcourt during a run to the 2008 Final Four. Collison, not Westbrook, was the point guard on that team.
Westbrook gave his old friend a little pop, a handshake, a quick hug and a short conversation.
"Russ is a non-stop attacker," Collison said. "You gotta be on your toes and be ready to play against him."
The whole 48 minutes. Or 53, in this case, when Westbrook, like he often does, saved his best for last.

The Common Definition
If you were to describe a hero, what words would you use? Courage, conviction, passion, strength, selflessness—these character traits and others like them are probably the ideas that quickly spring to mind. In our culture (and most others), we think of heroes as individuals who distinguish themselves from all the average joes of the world through their extraordinary lives and reputations.
In his new book, Twelve Unlikely Heroes, John MacArthur provides a completely different perspective on what it takes to be a true hero in this life. He says, "The greatest heroes are those who are the human means God uses to change people forever—for their good and His glory. And these true heroes who make an eternal impact are invariably the most unexpected and ordinary people—God makes unlikely heroes."
The Unqualified Candidates
Twelve Unlikely Heroes follows MacArthur's two previous titles, Twelve Ordinary Men and Twelve Extraordinary Women, as the newest addition to his popular series of books focusing on the lives and legacies of biblical characters. In his latest book, MacArthur features the biographies of both familiar and lesser known names in Scripture—Enoch, Joseph, Miriam, Gideon and Samson, Jonathan, Jonah, Esther, John the Baptist, James (brother of Jesus), and Mark and Onesimus.
As MacArthur expounds on the biblical accounts of these individuals, he makes it clear that on their own, none of them is actually worthy of being called a hero. In the end, there would be nothing notable about the lives of these men and women, if not for the God they served.
The Ultimate Hero
MacArthur recently explained the overriding theme of Twelve Unlikely Heroes:
In truth, God is the real hero of every story. He relished choosing and using the most unlikely people to make spiritual impacts far beyond their own imagination or inherent usefulness. These aren't lessons about human potential, positive thinking, or how to do the miraculous; they're about how God, in His providence, deals in the circumstances of lives to accomplish His purpose. They show how God can order the affairs of ordinary people—the flawed, weak, and faltering—for His own significant spiritual outcomes.
My Humble Opinion
I greatly enjoyed reading Twelve Unlikely Heroes and found myself repeatedly thinking, "I never knew that!" In this book, MacArthur not only provides the reader with skillful explanations of the Scriptures, but he also sheds light on the text by sharing numerous cultural and historical insights. Additionally, I also appreciated the way that MacArthur brought his teaching down to a practical level, helping readers to see what the life of each biblical character reveals about God and how it should make a difference in their lives today.
Twelve Unlikely Heroes is both interesting and insightful, and as such, is a book I would gladly recommend.
More from Dr. MacArthur on the unlikely heroes of Scripture…

There are two tricks for a successful crop: first, for straight symmetrical fruit, give the vines something to climb; next, pick the cucumbers at full length, but at minimum girth, no more than 2 to 3 cm or so in diameter, when their seeds are still small and the skin tender.
Found in most catalogues, the cultivar 'Sweet Slice' develops vigorous vines that hang out a succession of sweet tasting cukes over many weeks. The dark green fruit of 'English Telegraph' (an heirloom variety) run 38 to 45 cm in length. 'Progress' and 'Burpless Tasty Green' are long hybrids that should be picked often to keep them productive.
Crawling on the ground, cucumber plants often yield curved or contorted cukes; but send these natural climbers upward and the fruit will hang down arrow-straight. Vines hoist themselves upward by means of small tenacious tendrils that wrap tightly around anything handy.

I had a December wedding, in San Francisco, at a restaurant. And I loved every minute of it. BUT. I sure do love the idea of an outdoor summertime wedding in the countryside. Something that's equal parts rustic and elegant. That takes its cue from the surroundings with earthy tones of honey and oak, and the summery green of grasses and vines. Instead of worrying about what's trendy or overdone, worry about creating a lovely day and taking care of your guests: time your ceremony to miss the hottest part of the day, serve spiked sweet tea, keep decor to a minimum and let the natural surroundings shine. As complicated as planning a wedding can be, it can also be quite simple if you set your mind to it – I promise!
Mood: rustic at its most elegant
Palette: rich earthy hues, fresh cut green

I have the following code fragment:
$now = '2011-12-01 22:32:33';
$datetime = '2011-12-01 00:07:27';
$nowObj = new DateTime($now);
$datetimeObj = new DateTime($datetime);
$diff = $datetimeObj->diff($nowObj); //leaving this in screws up the next line
number_format(1134); //this becomes NaN
When I am running through this code and leave the $diff = ... line in, it messes with other numbers and math that I do later in the code. For instance, my number_format(1134); later on becomes NaN. I am using a XAMPP stack with PHP 5.3.1. Is this a bug?

If Ken Griffey Jr. decides to sign with the Atlanta Braves, as it appears he will, he'll leave Mariners fans feeling jilted. Again. Remember this feeling?
Say it ain't so, Junior. Tell us you didn't tease Seattle for a week, only to sign a one-year deal with the Atlanta Braves worth between $2 million and $3 million.
You're not going to jilt this town again, are you?
This was supposed to be the season of your homecoming. It felt symmetrical. At 39, you were going to finish in Seattle the career you started in Seattle.
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Seattle's vanishing black community
Most Read Stories
The city was going to celebrate the final games of Ken Griffey Jr., the franchise's first on-the-field Hall of Famer. Who knows, if you played well enough, they'd gladly celebrate another year in 2010.
Sure, this return wouldn't be 1995 all over again, but it still had the potential to be something memorable. And it wasn't going to be all about nostalgia. Coming here had a purpose.
Many of us think you still can play. You can hit 30 home runs and drive in 80 runs. And we feel you can be a leader in the clubhouse, the adult in a roomful of kids.
This was going to be a fairy tale and, my goodness, does this city need a fairy tale. You were going to create a buzz in a sports town that has been all zzzz's.
Your return to Seattle would mean 200,000 more fans at Safeco Field. People from Bellingham to Hood River, Ore., would be wearing your uniform number again.
Instead, you're going to Atlanta?
You're not going to let down this city's baseball fans again, are you? You aren't going to betray the people who care about your game the most. It isn't going to be two strikes and you're out, is it?
Why would you do it, Junior?
The Mariners' front office, which had debated whether to sign you with the same intensity Congress debated the stimulus package, finally agreed to do it.
The bosses agreed that your pluses far outweighed the minuses. With a healthy knee, you can give a lineup the long ball it needs. You can launch balls into the inviting right-field seats the way you did on a celebratory Sunday with Cincinnati in 2007, the last time you played here.
We understand that signing you wouldn't come with a money-back guarantee. For years, you've been one misstep, one slip, one outfield wall away from the disabled list.
The hope is you can play 140 games. The fear is you won't make it out of April.
But you're worth that gamble because you are the perfect bridge between the Mariners' lush past and their promising future. You can be that reminder of how good it was here and how good it can be again.
Think about it, Junior. You were always the anti-A-Rod here. People who never trusted Alex Rodriguez always trusted you. The same fans who rained fake dollar bills on Rodriguez rained nothing but love on you.
Sure, you can be a pain. Come to think of it, you're being one now. We remember when you whined about the glare in the outfield at Safeco Field, and we can't forget that you wanted the roof closed even on sunny days.
But most fans in Seattle excused your petulance because, after all, if it wasn't for you, there wouldn't be a Safeco Field. You helped save baseball in Seattle.
If you choose Atlanta over Seattle, though, all the good will that you've accrued in this town will be gone. You'll just be another superstar who left us. Another star who bummed us out. And you no longer will be welcome to play here.
If you choose Atlanta, you'll be doing it for the right reasons. You'll be closer to home, and you can watch the blossoming of your kids' athletic careers.
But remember this: Seattle wants you.
You really think Atlanta cares? Do you believe Braves fans appreciate your legacy? You think the city that couldn't sell out playoff games when the Braves were winning every National League East title cares about your 600 home runs? Think they're going to embrace you the way Seattle would?
In Seattle, you'd be a hero. In Atlanta, you'd be a one-year mercenary.
And the thing is, the Mariners need you now. They won't need you next year, or ever again. They will move on, move further down Rebuilding Road.
There will be no do-overs. No third chances.
So don't do it, Junior. Don't sign with the Braves.
Just tell us, it ain't so.

Aus HIM WIKI
Have you ever tried doing water therapy to cure a simple cold, rather than taking your over-the counter pill? Odds are, as many individuals have experienced, that you are healed with drinking just a few portions of nothing more but - water.
Actually, ancient cultures have discovered a method of healing by fasting for several days and just having water to drink. It's true that our our body is 75% water, and we can survive per week without food, but, not without water. Even astronauts need pure water to survive wide.
Such as the rushing sound of a river, h2o cleanses us from inside, making us feel good on the outside. Try drinking less water each day and you'll feel the body suddenly thrown right into a whirlpool of chaos, causing you to sick. The body, then, is thirsty for water's life nurturing benefits. Water may be the very fuel that cleanses you of diseases-causing toxins. Surely, sooner or later, you've known exactly what a drop of rejuvenating water in your parched lips feels like.
Pure Water: Not Your Average Water
Water means life, health, and healing. There isn't any point arguing this fact. But, it's also a known proven fact that there are lots of chemicals and contaminants found in h2o by choosing to drink pure, means drinking the most natural water our bodies truly deserve. In our modern times, it is unfortunate that use of pure, h2o is far from reach, unless you live in a place that's ecologically-intact.
Pure Water: The important thing for your Body's pH Level
The body has a unique renal system that balances the acid and base of the body's fluids with the amazing tag team of the kidneys, liver, and lungs. The more acid you have, the more prone you will be to numerous types of diseases. Our modern lifestyle make people prone to acidosis and pure water is paramount in bringing back the total amount, for your body to work at its prime. The food you eat is a major element in your own body's pH levels and that's why, we see campaigns on getting balance through vegetables and fruit. Your body needs a pure water source to carry oxygen-rich blood for your cells, replenishing it with essential vitamins and minerals.
Pure Water: Your Secret to Ultimate Hydration
To get pure, contaminant-free water is a never-ending quest and there are incidents of contamination despite the Environmental Protection Agency's ( EPA ) water treatment standards. Imagine how rejuvenating a glass of water is... and how a lot more if you're drinking pure water. Whenever your is dehydrated, this means being stressed and it creates "stress chemicals " which are released to deal with the situation. Over time, these toxins doesn't only cause you to constipated, but it can accumulate right into a chronic disease like obesity, chronic pain or fatigue, heart diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, or perhaps cancer - which can be fatal in the end. Pure water rejuvenates your cells much better than your regular cup of coffee or perhaps a can of your fizzy drink, without the artificial sweeteners. Drinking pure water means giving your body a no-fuss diuretic that surpasses the simple response to thirst. When your is properly hydrated, the body is fully energized for the day, without you needing to chug down a bottle of energy drink.
Pure Water: Your Clean, Weight Loss Alternative
Spending hundreds and thousands around the next miracle pill and diet to shed weight can be a very frustrating experience. There are lots of fad miracle cures promising weight loss once the answer is closer to nature. Pure drinking water may be the symbolic elixir of youth and health, which may be our wonder potion to lose weight - permanently. In fact, water is a good, natural appetite suppressant, filling you up and reducing your cravings for unhealthy food. The less you consume, then, the less you weigh. Research have shown that the low intake of water can mean high fat and salt deposits within your body, making you fat. Pure water can help your liver in metabolizing your stored fats and making it energy required by your body. Drink less and you'll force your body on a survival mode by retaining more water that may cause you to swell. By drinking pure water, you cleanse the colon, forcing fats and other toxins to visit out of the body like one would clean a dirty pipe having a water hose. Be sure to drink your water cold if you want to burn calories.
The amount of glasses you are taking relies upon your age, height, and weight. Normal recommendations suggest eight portions of pure water daily. It's also vital that you know that we get water from the foods we eat. It's never past too far to drink up to health and next time you hit the bar, get a glass of pure water - around the rocks!

The float is built on an 8' x 16' farm wagon with the back removed. A similar size trailer, used to move small construction equipment, might be borrowed from a local construction company. The float also might be built on the back of a flat bed truck. You can use one of our Vehicle Decorating Kits to tow your float in style.
A light wooden frame, made of #2 1 x 3 pine surrounds the wagon. The frame extends from the top of the wagon bed to 15" from the ground. You can find wood for the frame at your local lumberyard. A basic frame this size requires approximately 140' of lumber.
Waterproof, flameproof Floral Sheeting is stapled to the frame. This size float requires 16 yards of Purple Vinyl Floral Sheeting for the sides. The floor requires another 15 yards of purple. To calculate how much Floral Sheeting you need for your float, measure the distance around in feet and divide by three to get the yardage. Floral Sheeting is sold in square yards. Floral Sheeting is made of a heavy plastic backing sheet with rows of sewn-on scalloped plastic flower petal shapes. 14" high Metallic Gold Fringe is stapled to the bottom of the frame where the Floral Sheeting stops. Fringe is available in 10' length packages. This size float requires five, 10' packages of Metallic Gold Fringe.
Metallic Gold Festooning outlines the sides of the float. Festooning is available in 48' long rolls. This size float requires three, 48' rolls of Metallic Gold Festooning. The Floral Sheeting, Festooning and Fringe are all made of the same plastic material (waterproof, fade-proof and flameproof) and reusable for another float at another time. Order Floral Sheeting, Festooning and Fringe right here from Stumps.
The Styrofoam letters or numbers are 8" high, and can be ordered right here from Stumps. You can paint them with inexpensive interior latex paint or leave them white. Be sure to add another board, such as plywood, to your frame under the Floral Sheeting. Just use small nails to fasten the letters to the board. As an alternative, hot glue the letters to the Floral Sheeting.
The "explosion" with the wording is 8' wide at the base, 8' high and 1' thick. It requires approximately 150' of #2 1 x 3 pine to make the frame. The wood frame is covered with chicken wire, which has 1" openings. This design requires approximately 120' of 18" chicken wire with 1" openings. You can find the wood for the frame at your local lumberyard and the chicken wire from a farm supply store. This design requires approximately 40 packages of White POMPS Tissue Squares and 8-10 packages of Purple POMPS. Be sure to use POMPS Paste, also available from Stumps, to keep the Tissue Squares from blowing away in the wind. Instructions for use are on the can. The paste cleans up with warm water. You will need four, 1 pint cans of Tissue Paste.
Cheerleaders riding on the float hold helium-filled bunches of our 11" Purple Deeptone Balloons.
Purple Spirit M&M's, FAN-TASTIC Beads, or Spirit Bracelets make great crowd pleasing toss-outs!
The materials listed are based on a two-sided Purple Power design.

May 1997 (April data)
May 1997 (April data)
Embargoed until 10 a.m. May 13, 1997
Reports on manufacturing in the Southeast generally showed notable improvement in April over March figures and those seen over most of 1995 and 1996. According to the monthly survey conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the proportion of southeastern manufacturers reporting gains in production, shipments, new orders and backlogs rose significantly. Current-price indexes remained steady and moderate, while indexes of expected prices were mixed. The index for number of employees was little-changed. Manufacturers' expectations for activity generally increased somewhat or held steady at moderate levels.
In April, the proportion of survey respondents reporting increased production jumped to 37 from 29 in March. The production diffusion index rose from 10 in March to 18 in April--the highest level since December 1994. Shipments and new-orders indexes also showed significant increases, each rising more than 20 percentage points in April. The unfilled-orders index also showed a sizeable gain, rising from -11 in March to +9 in April--the highest level since October 1994. This 20.1 percentage point improvement for unfilled orders is the series' largest monthly improvement. Inventory indexes remain low--especially for materials.
Current-price indexes were little-changed in April, remaining at moderate levels compared with past surveys. More than three-fourths of the respondents reported no change in prices received for finished product, while about two-thirds reported no change in prices paid for raw materials.
Outlook indexes in April generally remained steady or showed notable improvement. The production-outlook index rose to 34 in April from 29 the prior month. About half of the respondents expect higher output in coming months. Indexes for new orders and backlog expectations rose slightly.
Expected-prices indexes were mixed. The index for expected-material prices declined in April to 31 after jumping to 40 the month before. A little less than half the respondents reported no change in expected-prices paid. The prices-received expectations index extended a string of increases to three months, rising to 25 in April from 22 in March. Thirty-six percent of respondents expect to receive higher prices in coming months, while 53 percent expect no change.
In summary, the April data portray a strengthening southeastern manufacturing sector with only mild price pressure. Forward momentum is healthy, as indicated by reports of new and unfilled orders and apparently lean inventories. Current and expected labor-market conditions remain mostly steady, with a modest share of producers expecting to add to their workforce in coming months.
NOTE: The Atlanta Fed's survey covers the Sixth Federal Reserve District, which includes Alabama, Florida and Georgia and portions of Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee. The plants surveyed represent a cross-section of industries in the region.

NBA experts weight in on home playoff crowds and on Oklahoma City
NBA experts weigh in on home playoff crowds and on Oklahoma City: →Jackie MacMullen, Around the Horn regular on ESPN "I have not had the pleasure of taking in a game there, but I asked some NBA colleagues and they all give the Oklahoma City fans high marks for enthusiasm. They liked the idea of standing until the first basket and believe the Thunder have almost a college feel to their fan base. That's a good thing." →Chris Tomasson, FanHouse senior NBA writer "Good crowds at the Ford Center. It's like a college environment. I haven't seen a game there this season, but I saw one last season and several back when the Hornets were in town. Even when the team is crummy, the fans were cheering. All the Thunder needs is a band, and then it really will be a college environment. "The energy definitely will help the Thunder at home in the playoffs. The only problem is the Lakers don't easily get rattled." →Marc Spears, Yahoo! Sports NBA writer "The best playoff crowds? That's easy. It's basically the same places that it is in the regular season."

Cardinals wrap up long road trip with happy flight out of San Francisco
Carlos Martinez turned in his best start, the bullpen did not allow an earned run in four innings and six players scored at least once to help the Cardinals salvage the road trip.
What a difference a day can make. On Wednesday morning, the Cardinals woke up having a miserable road trip. By Thursday evening, they were happy flighting it home to St. Louis.
Of course, that's what two wins in 21 hours can do for a team that had been shut out in three of its previous five games. "We found a way to salvage the road trip and finish on a good note," Matt Carpenter said in an interview shown on the Fox Sports Midwest post-game show.
Their 7-2 victory over the Giants Thursday afternoon was a complete team effort, not at all like the Adam Wainwright show on Wednesday.
Carlos Martinez turned in his best start, the bullpen did not allow an earned run in four innings and six players scored at least once for St. Louis, which finished 5-5 on its first trip to the West this season.
Following Wainwright's 2-0 gem on Wednesday night, the Cardinals wasted little time taking the lead on a sunny afternoon. Carpenter led off by reaching base for the fourth straight game, but this time he was not stuck there. It looked like he might be until Jhonny Peralta lofted a two-out home run into the left-field seats, giving the Cardinals their first first-inning runs since June 18.
The Cardinals return home Friday night but the schedule does not get any easier. After three games against the upstart Marlins, they play host to the surging Pirates for four games and then travel to first-place Milwaukee for their final three contests before the All-Star break.
-- Carlos Martinez. Without question, his fourth start was his best yet. He still didn't work deep --- five innings, 88 pitches --- but his slider was as sharp as it's been this season, his fastball reached 99 mph and his command was on. He gave up only one run on four hits, walked one and struck out a career-best six. Four of the strikeouts ended with sliders that were low and out of the zone but the Giants still swung. He got Buster Posey to end the fifth with the bases loaded, punctuating the strikeout with a big thump of his chest on his way to the dugout.
Watch the Cardinals Live pregame and postgame shows before and after every St. Louis Cardinals game on FOX Sports Midwest.
"He had a consistent smooth delivery," Matheny said. "It looked more like pitching than just raring back and seeing how nasty he could be."
Oh yeah, Martinez also delivered at the dish, too, singling in two runs for the first RBI of his career.
-- Taking advantage. When Giants first baseman Adam Duvall botched what should have been a double play with a bad throw, the Cardinals made the Giants pay. Instead of the Cardinals' fourth inning ending on the play, they had runners on the corners with one out. Jon Jay doubled in one run and then, with the infield in, Martinez shot a hard grounder past the shortstop for a two-run single. The three runs gave the Cardinals a commanding 5-1 lead.
-- Yadier Molina. Continuing to put his June gloom (.210) behind him, Molina reached base four times and had his first three-hit game since April 23. He has his batting average up to .287, raising in 10 points since Sunday.
-- Situational hitting. Sure they were happy to score seven runs, but the Cardinals could have had a few more if they had executed one of the game's most important fundamental hitting plays: Driving in a runner on third with less than two outs. Four times the Cardinals failed in their attempts: Adams struck out in the first, Carpenter popped up in the sixth and Molina and Mark Ellis struck out in the seventh. Oscar Taveras would have failed, too, when he hit a grounder to the pitcher in the seventh but a bad throw allowed in a run.
-- Matt Adams vs. left-handers. In his first time facing Madison Bumgarner, Adams struck out twice and grounded to first, dropping his batting average against lefties to .177 (11 for 62). Against right-handers, though, he produced as usual with a double down the left-field line that led to the Cardinals' final run.
-- Martinez's underhanded throws. It might be nitpicking, but the young right-hander got a little too casual with a toss to first base after fielding a grounder. He got the out but his throw looked more like something you'd see from a slow-pitch softball pitcher. Martinez was plenty far away from first that he could have thrown overhand, too. While no harm was done, it's worth pointing out because it wasn't the first time he almost muffed a simple throw.

What do Aaron Rodgers, Sidney Crosby and Jeremy Lin have in common? You know, besides being the heroes of inspirational stories that illuminate the value of hard work, unselfish play and being nice to people?
Well, they're also Exhibits A, B and C for the slow death of honor in sports. Each has recently been subjected to treatment that defies common sense, common decency and the commonwealth of athletes. After reading the email bounty on Rodgers, after witnessing that stupid April Fools crosscheck of Crosby by the Flyers' Brayden Schenn, after weeks of watching the now-sidelined Lin get hacked by resentful opponents, I can only ask: What the hell is wrong with us?
Since Saints coach Sean Payton is awaiting word on his appeal of the year-long suspension for the bounties, let's take that email first. Written by Payton crony and convicted felon Mike Ornstein, it read: "PS Greg Williams put me down for $5,000 on Rogers (sic)." Also sick, with a k. At the time it was written, right before the 2011 season opener, Rodgers was the Super Bowl MVP, a residual feel-good story after the feel-bad work stoppage, a credit to his upbringing, his team, the league. In other words, he was not unlike the Saints' own Drew Brees, the Super Bowl MVP from the year before.
Here's the question the NFL should be asking Payton before Roger Goodell reconsiders the suspension: "How would you feel if the Packers had put out a similar bounty on Drew Brees?"
Take your time, Sean.
I've heard the arguments about how bounties are nothing new or special. I've listened to the complaints that quarterbacks are protected to the point of coddling. I understand that football is a contact, often-violent sport. But do you really want to declare open season on all quarterbacks? If the purpose of the game is to knock the other guy out of it, then it's no longer a game; it's war. If that appeal to better nature doesn't work, maybe this appeal to a fatter bank account will: NFL checks are signed by Goodell, but they may as well also carry the signatures of Rodgers, Brees, Eli Manning, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning
And guess who is the most prominent person behind Gary Bettman's signature on an NHL check? From a practical, financial advisor standpoint, it's baffling why Penguins opponents keep taking cheap shots at Sid The Kid. Yes, I know he can give as good as he gets, but that's part of the reason he is THE BEST IN THE GAME ... maybe ever. Did anybody notice how quiet the NHL got after the Winter Classic last year? Did nobody outside of the Penguins and/or Crosby faithful feel like the league was diminished during the 60 games he missed this season?
So there was Sid, minding his own business while waiting for a video replay of a goal during the third period of the Penguins-Flyers game on April 1, when Schenn skates up behind him, and cross-checks him to the ice. It was a dumb, vicious sand-bagging that set off a series of skirmishes and led to the ejection of Flyers coach Peter Laviolette. But it was trumped by the commentary of one of the broadcast analysts, a former coach, who not only called the hit "part of the deal" but also praised Schenn as "a character kid" with "tremendous character." Really?
I happened to be at Madison Square Garden on March 22, when Crosby returned to action after missing those 60 games. You would hope the great hockey fans of New York would break their tradition of relentlessly booing Sid every time he touched the puck, at least the first time he did, in acknowledgement of his return. But no. "Knock him out of the game again!" shouted one Rangers sophisticate.
I hope he was a Knicks fan, too. Then he would know how it feels to have the guy who saved his team's season pounded out of the game. As exhilarating as the rise of Jeremy Lin was, that's how distressing it became to watch him dribble in the paint. Players who usually issue regular-season EZ Passes on defense made sure to punish him for his impudence.
Whether they were doing it out of pride (How dare he make me look bad!) or out of resentment (How dare he get more pub than me!), you still got the sense that Lin was not welcome in the NBA. And the referees seemed to be in on The Big Chill. Go back to the play on March 6 against the Mavericks -- it's on YouTube -- when Lin tried to drive in for a layup. As Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd converged on him, Kidd hit Lin in the head and pulled his hair, then Ian Mahinmi knocked him to the floor. And no flagrant foul was called as Lin gathered himself and limped off the floor because of his hurt left knee, the same knee with the torn meniscus that's keeping him out of the rest of the season now.
Who knows if it happened on that play? What I do know is that the best story of the NBA season is gone, just like the best story in hockey during the last decade was gone for a year, just like one of the best stories in football would have been gone if the bounty had been paid.
Happily ever after? Not as long as we keep sacrificing honor for payback.

Product Description
Once you've used this dough whisk, you'll count it as one of your essential baking tools. It's perfect for mixing heavy dough prior to kneading. Way better than a spoon and much easier to clean.
Sturdy and well made of a beechwood handle and stiff stainless steel wire head. Flow-through wire whisk design blends ingredients thoroughly and gently. Overall length: 15 1/4″
Tip: Rub a little food grade mineral oil (available at any pharmacy) into the handle periodically to prolong its lifespan.
|"I don't know how I got along without this! Mixing dough with a spoon or spatula was like slogging through quicksand, but this sturdy whisk just slices through. Its rounded shape makes it easy to scrape the sides of the bowl so everything is incorporated, and so little sticks to it that it's really easy to clean. Besides, it makes me feel "professional". Love it! Thanks for the great product and the great service!"Margaret, Ball Ground, GA www.margaretberthold.com
|"Yesterday the postman delivered the Danish Dough Whisk I ordered last week. So I immediately set about preparing a dough (which is now proofing after an 18 hour rise). It is truly a magic wand — so effective and so easy to clean. Thank you, Thank you!"Karil Rauss, Zurich
|"By the way, the dough whisk is a tool I consider wonderful and absolutely essential."From Brian Avery in British Columbia
|"The dough whisk is an amazing tool. Before getting the whisk I would use a regular whisk for mixing the dry ingredients and then a silicone spatula for mixing in the wet. What a difference the Danish whisk makes. Better mixing with less effort.!"Rick Clare, Ontario, Canada

FLORENCE, Ariz. — The wife of a hiker found dead in the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix says the Pinal County Sheriff's Office all but ignored the vital information she provided during the search.
The Casa Grande Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/YuFmIA) that Tonya Hensley criticized the sheriff's office during a recent county board of supervisors meeting.
The body of 34-year-old Christopher Hensley was found April 19. He had set out for a hike four days earlier.
Hensley says she contacted Superstition Search and Rescue on April 18 after she grew frustrated with the sheriff's search and rescue team. The Superstition team found him within hours of starting its search.
A sheriff's office spokeswoman says the Pinal County team had searched the bottom of Superstition Mountain up to Flatiron Peak several times, as well as other areas where the team thought Hensley could have gone.
Information from: Casa Grande Dispatch.

SAN FRANCISCO — At least for an afternoon, the chess players were back at the usual spot they've occupied for years along downtown San Francisco's busy Market Street.
But instead of hustling a dollar here and a dollar there with deft openings and clever traps, the mostly homeless players and their supporters were playing Sunday in defiance of a recent police crackdown and ban on the public games. And they were backed by a brass band and several homeless advocates who helped organize the three-hour "chess-in" under bright, blue skies on a hot San Francisco afternoon.
Earlier this month, police confiscated chess gear, tables and chairs at the site.
Police said the games had begun to attract illegal gambling and drug sales to the area adjacent to a cable car terminal, which is a popular tourist destination. Nearby merchants had also complained about an increase in illegal activity.
"We don't mind the chess players and would like to have them back," said Cody Hunt, manager of an electronics store in front of which the games were played. "But lately, the games have attracted loud dice games and open drug deals, and nobody needs that."
The chess players argue that the police response to the illegal activity that took place near the games was heavy-handed and indiscriminate.
"Have the drug deals stopped because chess has been banned?" said Andrew Resignato, a San Francisco resident who would play a game along Market Street occasionally. "It was an excuse to move homeless people away from here."
San Francisco police didn't return a phone call Sunday.
Police Capt. Michael Redmond told the San Francisco Chronicle last month that he agreed the chess players themselves weren't the problem. But others used the games as a shield for illegal activities. Redmond said arrests and complaints from merchants increased in the area.
"It's turned into a big public nuisance," Redmond said. "I think maybe it's a disguise for some other things that are going on."
Hector Torres Jr., a homeless man who scratched out a living renting his chess equipment, tables and chairs to Market Streets players, said the games were a San Francisco tradition that attracted all sorts of players from all walks of life.
Torres and others said it's unclear whether regular games will resume in their usual spots, someplace else or disappear forever.
"Chess isn't a crime, and we aren't criminals," Torres said as he knocked over his king in resignation of a game. "San Francisco is about this kind of stuff. About diversity and differences. We just want to play chess."
Dozens play chess in public to defy SF crackdown

« Kandi Burruss Attempts To Apologize For Her Pillow Party Outburst | Home | Juan Pablo Galavis Continues To Apologize For Anti-Gay Remarks »
Rob Kardashian Ridiculed By His Family Due To His Weight
February 10, 2014 04:00 PM by Lisa Princ
Let's face it – losing weight and getting healthy can be a challenge for many folks, but it's even worse when you do not have a good support system behind you. And that seems to be exactly what Rob Kardashian, who has been struggling with his weight for some time now, is going through. Rumor has it that his weight is causing the rest of the Kardashian clan to ridicule him.
It's no secret that Rob Kardashian packed on some extra pounds, but he has been snagged working out and trying to get healthy. Despite his efforts though, rumor has it that the members of his family are not being the least bit supportive. In fact, according to the Daily Mail, Kris Jenner has even gone as far as to call Rob: "A fat slob and told him that he's losing out on business opportunities because no one wants someone as huge as him representing their products." Ouch, that certainly isn't being very supportive as a mother.
But it gets worse! The insiders go on to claim that the Kardashian girls are not any better, but instead: "They also tease him by leaving cakes and cookies around to tempt him." Hmm, very mature. We certainly hope Khloe isn't in on it, considering she's been through weight issues in the past and had to face her mother's ridicule. Rumor also has it that Kris Jenner wants to send him to "fat camp" to get thin. We think someone needs to send her to "learn how to be a good mother" camp.
Meanwhile, other sources claim that Rob is trying to escape the drama and media spotlight that is constantly surrounding his family. Run Rob, run far away!
What do you think about the Kardashian ladies ridiculing Rob about his weight? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear it. Feel free to share your opinion in the comments section below!

Another easy access site from I-44. Staff was friendly. It was a good stop for an overnight after a long day's drive. Each site had it's own swing which was a nice touch. - Wimsey

Excellent place for overnight easy on and off freeway. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice quite and clean would stay here again - jman
Aug 2013 - $24.00
Rated this park a 7, but you'll need to know the details. First, all utilities worked fine (electric, water, sewer, Wi-Fi), level, gravel site, very quiet, good price. Second, don't expect the Hilton, since the campground appears very run down from a facilities perspective (old buildings, pool needing repair, grass needs mowing, etc). But for an overnight stay near the Interstate, it worked just fine for us. A very long rig 40+ may find it tight in making some of the turns in the campground. - threehendersons

Baby Showers
Because of past experiences with pregnancy loss, I am considering having a shower after our baby is born instead of before. Has anyone done this? Were you up for it or was it a chore? How long after the birth did you have the shower? Any thoughts on post-birth showers welcome. curious
I am throwing a babyshower for my friend, but I have no idea how to do it. What kind of food should I serve? Just cookies, or real food like chicken, etc.? Should I organize games? If yes, what kind of games? Should I get prizes for the ones who win the games? How long is the shower suppose to last? What about decoration? Where can I get the cheapest things that I would need for this? How long in advance should I start planning? Who should I invite? Is it really just for girls? Planning a Babyshower
I'm having my first baby in July, a boy, and am starting to think about registering. I'm into groovy natural things, but want to give people who are kind enough to give us presents an accessible registry. I know about babies r us through amazon, but does any one have any other suggestions for good places, preferably with a web site? thanks! soon to be mama
what are people's experiences with baby showers for second children? I just found out that my second child (due in June) will be a boy; I already have a 2 1/2 year old girl. My dear friend offered to throw me a ''boy clothes'' shower. Obviously I do not need anything *but* boy clothes, but I wonder if it is unseemly to have a second shower? Has anyone had one, or been to one? If it makes any difference this second shower would have some overlapping guests with the first, but would also include new friends. Thanks! Christine
I think your idea to designate boy clothes as gifts is a great one. There are so many places to buy inexpensive things, this shouldn't be a burden for those who attended your first shower. I would suggest your host slip a note in the invitation stating something like ''Christine feels like she has most everything she needs for the new baby. Since it is a boy, gifts of clothing would be especially helpful and appreciated.'' Your old and new friends alike will be happy to bring something needed and useful. Congratulations! Elizabeth

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Good afternoon. I'll be assisting you with your question.
If the parties are divorced, the assets of one spouse cannot be taken to satisfiy the debts of the other.
As for seizing your separate property to pay the nursing home debt, that is a much more complicated issue.
One spouse has a duty to provide for the other spouse's essential needs, which includes food, shelter, etc.
Also, the wording of the contract with the nursing home is significant. If you jointly took the debt, then your separate property is subject to forfeiture.
So, if a judge were to find that this is a joint debt, your assets are at risk.
The state does matter, but my answers are Florida specific. That said, most states follow similar rules.
Let me do a little research on a few matters. It should take about an hour or so and I will get back with you. Is that OK?
You don't need to pay until the answer is complete
Is this property real estate?

No Microsoft Handheld on the Horizon
With this year's E3 a little over a month away, gamers want to know what companies are planning to introduce. Announcements on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 dominated last year's E3 conference. People are curious about what Microsoft is up to.
Phil Spencer, recently named head to Xbox and Microsoft Studios, took to the airwaves of Twitter yesterday fielding questions. One Twitter user asked if Microsoft had a handheld console in the works. Spencer had a denial for the question, saying that the focus of the studio is on new intellectual property--or in other words, new games.
@xrCore I don't think we'll do a dedicated handheld gaming device, rather just focus on WP, tablets, maybe with controller support someday.
— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) May 5, 2014
On top of new games, Microsoft intends on announcing new sequels as well as new partner studios. Not all news will be held until E3, though. Phil Spencer has a big month planned, with a good bit of news flowing from the studio. At this year's E3, Microsoft Studios wants to focus on gamers, including those not lucky enough to hang out at E3 live.
What news are you hoping from Microsoft between now and E3?
