More than a 100 years after his death, West Virginians are still impacted by the artistry of a Frenchman who came to call West Virginia home.
Joseph H. Diss Debar came to the United States in 1842 and moved to Parkersburg in 1846, working as a land agent. He lived in present-day West Virginia for the next 29 years, dividing his time between Wood and Doddridge counties.
Debar was a bon vivant for the area; a Frenchman with a classical education. He was fluent in German, English, Spanish, Italian and his native French. He could translate Latin and Greek. He was also a talented artist who designed the official seal and coat-of-arms for the state.

This bronze medal features the West Virginia state seal, created by Parkersburg resident Joseph H. Diss Debar.
He was described as a distinguished looking gentleman, wearing a Van Dyke beard, dressed in a cloak and high silk hat, with a cane.
A supporter of the West Virginia statehood movement, Debar was commissioned by Gov. Arthur I. Boreman to design the state's Great Seal in 1863. Seeing the assignment as an opportunity to promote the new state's natural resources and economic potential, Debar created a two-sided medallion whose front depicts a farmer, a miner, the state motto, and other symbols. The seal was adopted by the state legislature in September 1863.
In 1864, Debar was appointed commissioner of immigration and worked in this capacity to recruit labor and landowners from abroad until 1871. He involved the state in the 1867 Paris Exposition, winning a prize for the petroleum exhibit from the West Virginia oil fields. As immigration commissioner he produced "The West Virginia Hand-Book and Immigrant's Guide" in 1870.
Debar met his first wife Clara Levassor in Parkersburg shortly after he arrived. They were married in 1847 in Marietta. He was 30 - his wife, just 17. The couple lived in a house on 12th Street, between Ann and Juliana streets. Clara Debar died in childbirth in April 1849. She's buried in Riverview Cemetery.
Their son, Joseph Henry Jr., was taken by Clara Debar's parents to Cincinnati. He survived to a very old age, according to newspaper accounts, but left no heirs. He had a 6-year-old son who died in 1871, from diphtheria.
Following his wife's death, Debar went to Doddridge county, where he had bought a tract of land and worked to develop the town of Santa Clara named for his wife. He married a second time to Amelia Cain, of Doddridge county, August 3, 1859. They produced five children.
Debar also served in the state legislature from Doddridge County in 1864, and in 1872.
According to an 1941 article in the West Union Record (Doddridge County), from the West Virginia Division of Culture and History, Debar left the area in his later years, dying in Pittsburgh in 1906. The article list several of Debar's relatives still in the area.
Debar's Parkersburg home remains standing. Dubbed the Carriage House, it sits on Franklin Alley (between Ann and Juliana Streets). It is part of the property at 118 12th St.

Musette Seeds: Hearing Voices
Recently I was walking my dog in the park. I hadn't seen anybody else walking and there were no other cars in the parking lot. As far as I could tell I was the only person in the park. Imagine my surprise when I suddenly heard a voice behind me. Cooper, my dog, heard it too. We both turned around. I expected to see someone behind us, close behind us, possibly talking on a phone or riding a bicycle. Nobody was there.
The truth is there is a business near that corner of the park. Most likely someone was walking in the parking lot, maybe talking on a cell phone. The Musettes like the disembodied voices in the park version better. Now to wait a bit and see what they do with it. Maybe something to do with a haunted park . . .

Hello all,
I was just watching some of the Tour on TV and I had a thought of how much of the riders equipment is chosen by themselves or buy the team and managers.
When people ask question on these forums as to which bike, helmet or really any other of the many bits and pieces the answer is always along the lines of 'make sure it fits you and it's comfortable'. The bike and the helmet are probably of major interest here.
When watching the Tour all members of the one team seem to be wearing the same kit. I can't be totally sure of the bikes but they look the same throughout a single team or at least the colours are. The helmets within the one team are definitely the same. Sure they may use different spacers and what not under the helmet but it's still the same helmet. When I was trying mine on found that different colours of the same size and models with the same sized inserts felt different. So what do the professionals do?

The best value in a photochromic goggle, the Slate doesn't offer a polarized version, but its anti-fog lens lets you see good detail while its many vents prevent fog and moisture build-up. The mirrored lens goes from very light to medium shaded, with a visible light transmission range of 58 to 75 percent. We like the bead of silicon that Colorado-based Zeal puts on the strap to keep it secure on your helmet or on the back of your hat. The goggles are listed at $150, but you can find a deal on them if you hunt a bit.

David Tutera and Ex-Husband Ryan Jurica Are Raising Their Twins Separately
Hollywood event planner to the stars David Tutera is known for throwing lavish parties for celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, but he recently opened up to People about forging some completely new territory.
Tutera and his ex-partner, Ryan Jurica, have divorced, and each one of them will retain sole custody of one of their newborn twins, born via surrogate on June 19. Tutera has custody of
his biological baby girl Cielo, and her brother and fraternal twin Cedric is living with his own biological dad, ex-husband Jurica.
Regarding the couple's decision, Tutera says, "The divorce happened so quickly after the [embryo] transfer was successful that there wasn't time to mourn the loss of raising a second child — I was mourning the loss of my relationship."
Tutera says that although the twins are currently being raised across the country from one another — he lives in L.A. and Jurica lives in Connecticut — it's important to him that the two children have a bond. "We can't pretend like this doesn't exist for them" he says. "That's completely selfish. It is our responsibility to do the right thing for our children."
Although the divorce was apparently very nasty, Tutera said, "The mudslinging has ended. And I hope that one day, Ryan and I will be friends."
As for embracing his new role, the high profile party planner says, "I think we all envision ourselves married and in a relationship...but there is something very enlightening about being a single father."
Once People posted their story, comments about separating the twins have reached a fever pitch, with many expressing what they feel is an incredibly selfish act to raise the twins apart. I have twins myself, and I simply can't imagine them separated. That said, I do understand that with surrogacy and the fact that each took their own biological offspring, they aren't necessarily "twins" in the traditional sense of the word.
Tutera certainly sounds like he's ready to stand by his decision, however. "I'll make mistakes, but my job for the rest of her life is to protect her and support her. We're a team," he said. It will be interesting to see what kind of relationship Cielo and Cedric are able to form as they grow up.

Obama speech echoes in town with failed factory
MOBERLY, Mo. After 19 years running state unemployment offices across northern Missouri, Steve Moore can rattle off the names of shuttered factories in this old railroad town with ease.
There's Matcor Automotive, a parts manufacturer that at its peak employed 300 workers but closed in June 2010 in response to declining production by General Motors. Textbook publisher Scholastic Inc. is closing its Moberly packaging center, costing the town another 100 jobs.
Then there's the biggest blow of all: the failed promises of Mamtek U.S. Inc., a Chinese-owned artificial sweetener factory offered about $17 million in state tax incentives and $39 million of local bonds that went belly up in 2011 when the company couldn't make the bond payments. More than 600 promised jobs went up in smoke, with the deal now facing scrutiny by Missouri lawmakers and a pair of investigations by the state's attorney general and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
"There was a lot of anticipation, and then a lot of disappointment," Moore said. "Let's be honest. Everybody had hoped that something was going to come out of it."
As President Barack Obama again pledged to repair the American economy in his annual State of the Union address Tuesday night, some Moberly residents chalked up his pronouncements as just more rosy rhetoric by a politician - not unlike the July 2010 day when Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon and former Gov. Bob Holden came to the town of nearly 14,000 and hailed the Mamtek project's potential.
Others blamed an intractable Congress for not working more closely with the president to lift the country's economy. Still more held out hope that manufacturing companies lured by the region's low cost-of-living and central location would once again seek out Moberly, a 136-year-old railroad hub that became known as the Magic City in the late 19th century for its seemingly overnight emergence on once-empty prairie.
"We got a promise that he didn't keep," said business owner Diane Harlan. "He promised our economy was going to be better, and it's not. In this small community, we were under the false hope that everything was going to be OK, and it's not."
Harlan spent seven years as executive director of Main Street Moberly, which represents downtown business owners, before opening the Darn It Yarn store seven months ago after the business group cut her full-time job to 20 hours a week. She voted for John McCain in 2008 but hasn't yet made up her mind about the 2012 election.
While vacant storefronts dot downtown Moberly, Harlan said her business has succeeded beyond expectations, allowing her to drop that part-time job starting next week. A handful of similar small businesses have sprouted nearby, from a sewing shop to a secondhand furniture store.
"People are finally figuring out, we can't depend on our leader to get us out of something that we've created," she said. "We've got to go back to the grassroots. More self-sufficiency, doing things on our own, teaching our children, instead of depending on a man sitting in a white castle to take care of us and make things right."
David Gaines, a vice president with the Moberly Area Economic Development Commission, is among the local officials who helped court Mamtek in a deal given the code name "Project Sugar" before it was publicly disclosed. Count him among those looking for more leadership from those in the audience at Tuesday night's speech.
"It's not so much what he says but what they do," Gaines said, referring to Congress. "They need to quit talking and do something.
"That's what is holding consumer confidence down, is the inability of Congress on both sides of the aisle to do what the people elected them to do," he added.

Dear El Dorado Springs R-2 Students and Patrons,
On behalf of the Board of Education, Administration, and Staff, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all students, both new and returning, to El Dorado Springs R-2 Schools and wish them success in their upcoming academic and extra-curricular endeavors.
As usual, our maintenance and custodial crews have been very busy this summer upgrading, cleaning, and repairing our facilities. This dedicated staff makes our facilities function and look great, and their work is greatly appreciated. The most notable changes to our campuses this year will be the addition of a number of new sidewalks around campus, new fencing, upgrades in our HS gym lobby, and the major renovation of our track and football stadium.
The district's finances continue to remain stable in spite of the budget shortfalls experienced by the state. The district will soon engage in another round of bond refinancing which will take advantage of current low interest rates to pay off bonds early. As with all schools, we continue to add programs and services for our students and with each addition comes difficulties with providing adequate facilities for the new and existing programs. The district has engaged the services of an architect to research and make recommendations regarding our facilities. A number of meetings have been scheduled to accommodate this process and we would like to invite all patrons to attend these meeting and provide input toward developing the direction for our facilities for the future.
The 2012-13 school year will see a number of changes in our staff as we welcome 18 new teachers to our team. The administrative team will remain the same: Tracy Lanser, Elementary Principal; Jeni Hearting, Associate Elementary Principal; Brad Steward, Middle School Principal; Dave Hedrick, High School Principal; Kim Calvin, Special Services Director; Bob Ramsey, Activities Director; Brent Hillsman, District Technology Director; Bob Cornell, Director of Buildings and Grounds; Mary Ann Speight, Food Services Director with OPAA!, and Vanessa Hardy, Transportation Supervisor with Durham School Services.
Students will return to campus for the new school year on Wednesday, August 15. I look forward to welcoming our students and parents as we begin what I am sure will be an outstanding and successful year for El Dorado Springs R-2 Schools!
Mark Koča, Superintendent

Are you tired of being overweight? Do you long to fit into those size 6 jeans hanging in your closet? But do you fail on every diet and exercise plan because you are tired, stressed, and just don't have time to do them right? Well then, why not try something simple like wearing a belt that makes your weight melt away, metabolism speed up and your husband take out the garbage without you asking him to? Oh….wait…that's not one of the claims the belt makes. But does it matter – none of the claims are true anyway.
There are many weight loss belts out there. All make the same claims – they will speed up your metabolism and help you burn massive amounts of calories and lose weight, all without diet and exercise. They claim that their belts work by heating up a targeted area – usually the waist and hips. This heat will then increase your core temperature and warming your muscles and fat tissues. This accelerates the rate at which you burn fat, causes you to sweat and improves your circulation which improves your metabolism.
Let's address the metabolism issue first. Your metabolism is a physical and chemical process that converts calories into energy. Metabolism can be increased by exercise and by building muscle. Heat does not increase metabolism. If it did, then every person who lived through a summer in Florida would be waif like. Even if your core temperature is significantly increased (which, during a muggy 98 degree summer day on the beach, it most likely is) this will not cause your cells to begin to release glucose more quickly. It also will not increase the amount of energy you need. So, whether you are lying down wearing a weight loss belt or lying on a blanket on the hot beach, you will not be increasing your metabolism. Now, if you are playing volleyball on the hot beach, you will burn more calories and, therefore, increase your metabolism.
The next claim is that heat causes your body to burn more fat. While it may be true that heat could cause your body to work hard at cooling yourself, there is no scientific evidence that heat will help you burn a significant amount of calories or any fat. Imagine sitting at home with the belt on for 8 hours. If you burn an extra 2 calories per hour with the belt on, that would be 16 calories burned in an intensely sweaty 8 hour period. Since it takes a loss of 3,500 calories to burn 1 pound of weight off, you only have another 219, 8 hour sessions with the belt before you lose a pound.
Lastly, the belt claims to improve your circulation. There is no scientific evidence that heat affects your blood's overall circulation. Localized heat can help blood vessels dilate and improve blood flow and oxygen to that area. This does not necessarily affect your entire cardiovascular system, nor does is assist in weight loss.
After a few sweaty days of wearing the belt, you may notice that you lose a little water weight and that the areas that you wore the belt are slightly less bloated looking. This will be a minimal difference- providing you get any at all. Any water weight lost will be gained back the next time you eat. In fact, you may burn more calories by doing the additional laundry that you'll have to do as a result of getting all your clothes and furniture sweaty.
If you decide that you want to give the belt a try, be sure to consult with your physician and find out if you should increase your water consumption to combat any potential dehydration issues.

Should I get an amnio?
I am 18yrs old and 11 weeks pregnant I have had 2 prenatal visits and last visit my doctor said something about doing a test for down syndrome later on...I didn't pay much attention to it seeing as he always says everything looks good on my ultrasounds so I don't understand why I would have to do it if I'm not really at risk and I've been trying to do everything good for the baby.I'm a little scared because this is my first baby and the way he said it made me feel like I didnt have much of a choice and I don't want to be pressured into doing something I don't want to.

Don't do it! Amnios can cause miscarriages. You're of healthy childbearing age and I bet your baby will be fine. Unless you are the kind of woman who would murder her baby just because it's not perfect or for any other reason then there is no need anyway. Keep up the good work.posted 09/05/2010 by SJ788
Amnios can pose risks to the baby so a lot of moms choose not to get it. First, ask your doctor about genetic screenings. I went for that and my risk for downs, cerebral palsy and spina bifida were 1 in 10,000....if I had a high number, they would have advised me to get an amnio, but it is NOT mandatory, it's an optional test. If you feel uncomfortable with your doctor, please find someone you like, your comfort level in this situation is very important. Good luck!posted 09/03/2010 by jenseb09
By the way, genetic screenings consist only of bloodwork and two seperate ultrasounds. Virtually pain free!posted 09/03/2010 by jenseb09

Expressing program correctness often requires relating program data throughout (different branches of) an execution. Such properties can be represented using CTL+FO, a logic that allows mixing temporal and first-order quantification. Verifying that a program satisfies a CTL+FO property is a challenging problem that requires both temporal and data reasoning. Temporal quantifiers require discovery of invariants and ranking functions, while first-order quantifiers demand instantiation techniques. In this paper, we present a constraint-based method for proving CTL+FO properties automatically. Our method makes the interplay between the temporal and first-order quantification explicit in a constraint encoding that combines recursion and existential quantification. By integrating this constraint encoding with an off-the-shelf solver we obtain an automatic verifier for CTL+FO.}, author = {Tewodros A.

The most attractive feature of any woman is her crowning glory, her long lustrous hair. Whenever we think of long hair all of us do remember about the fairy tale where Raphenzul with her thick long hair has helped the prince. That's why a good hairstyle can change your look completely. Today's let's take a tour into various different hairstyle meant for different occasions. Dear ladies please remember from morning tonight we all visit a different place and we do wear dresses or saris accordingly. So it is also essential to mark your hair style accordingly.
The first look of today is the Fishtail Braid look. This particular hair style looks tough, but is actually an easy braid to pull off. First tie your hair into a low ponytail (use a ribbon, small clamp, or something you can easily remove after). Section the ponytail into two parts. Take a piece from the outermost part of each section, e.g. leftmost for the section on your left, rightmost for right and move it to the other section. Keep doing this alternately until you reach the end of the ponytail and secure with an elastic or a cute hair accessory. You can do your hair this way for your college, for an evening tea party or for shopping time.
The second look is called the Twisted Bun. First part your hair from the one side of your head. Make a thin braid out of the hair. Take all the other part of your hair into a tight pony tail. Now take thin section of hair and twist it around the ponytail. Repeat the same style with all of your hair. Now the hair gets the look of a twisted bun. Now take the thin braid and twist it around your bun. So you have an exotic twist bun ready for party or evening get together.
The essential Bridal Bun. This look is very simple to create. Back brush all your hair into back side and part hair from the front into small section and make braids from those sections and pin it up .Now roll your hair back and make it like a bun. Now accessorize your front braid section and your back bun. The bridal bun look is ready.
For everyday college or beach look try the quick style. Make a side partition and take three to four section of hair and twist each portion and pin it up. Your quick hair style is ready.
One may also try a low neck French cognac style. So whatever is your age, skin tone or physicality do try all these above hair style for various occasions which will make you look like a stunning celebrity every time you step out. So try out different hair style for a new change to your all over appearance.

International Star Registry Is A Ripoff
Posted By Jim On 01/07/2009 @ 12:10 pm In Personal Finance | 46 Comments
One radio advertisement I heard over and over again during the holidays was for International Star Registry, a company that offers the ability to "name a star after someone" for a low fee of $54.00. In addition to having the star's new name "registered at the US Copyright office," you get a certificate. For $54, all you get is a certificate, some star charts, and a map of your star circled in red. Pay a little more and you get a nicer frame. You can also get various charms and bracelets with your star's official name and your name too.
It's cute but the name isn't official… check the fine print at the bottom of the page: "International Star Registry star naming is not recognized by the scientific community. Your stars name is reserved in International Star Registry records only." It might be worth $54 to be able to name a star a particular name, so that every time someone mentioned it in the news you'd get a little shout out ("Look, John Smith is going supernova!"), but to have it only written down in some company's book? C'mon.
$54 (plus shipping and handling) would be so much better spent on something else. Heck, despite my aversion to gift cards [3], I'd prefer a gift card to anywhere over a star named after me!
I must have heard this commercial two or three dozen times the week or two before Christmas and these guys have been in business forever, makes me wonder…
(in all fairness to people who did buy this and happen to read this, you do get a nice frame and it is a cool idea, but you aren't getting a star officially named after you!)

Menifee Students Develop Art Skills at Youth Art Institute
Students use crayons to create artwork in one of the classes at the Summer Art Institute. Abou...
|Students use crayons to create artwork in one of the classes at the Summer Art Institute.
This is the second year of the week-long program, in which Arts Council Menifee provides free instruction in the arts to children ages 6-11. The program is funded through the Community Development Block Grant program for implementation at two local schools. Next week, the program shifts to Romoland Elementary School.
This year, Arts Council Menifee board members chose to add creative writing to the program. Painting and artwork are taught on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and creative writing concepts are taught on Tuesday and Thursday. Teachers from local schools and other volunteers provide the instruction and supervision.
"We want to show the children that the arts is more than just painting," said Bill Zimmerman, president of Arts Council Menifee. "Each year, we want to bring one more component to the program. This year, that component is creative writing and poetry."
The program is part of the ever-expanding outreach program of Arts Council Menifee, which was voted Non-Profit Organization of the Year by the Menifee Valley Chamber of Commerce. Creative writing teachers are working under the direction of Shirley Wible, who heads up the literary division of ACM.
One of the teachers working with the students Wednesday was Anna Arroyo, an art teacher at Paloma Valley High School. She was working with children ages 5-6.
"Most students don't have an opportunity to develop these skills in school anymore. This gives them that opportunity. And they are the ones creating the works of art -- not a computer or video game."
Mario Vega, 15 and a student at Paloma Valley High, is working as a volunteer for the second year.
"I did it last year because my siblings attended and I wanted to come back and help this year," Vega said. "Creativity can be done by anybody. I'm a big fan of animation, but there are many art forms."
A reception will be held at Quail Valley Elementary Friday at 6 p.m. to display the children's artwork. They will be given a certificate of completion as well as art supplies and paper to continue making art and creative writing projects at home.
Class sessions run from 9-10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. For information about attending next week's art institute at Romoland Elementary School, visit the Arts Council Menifee website.

On August 17, three new pieces of legislation establishing and expanding financial incentives for solar energy projects were signed into law in New York by Governor Andrew Cuomo. Such incentives are necessary to ensure the competitiveness of solar energy production given its current high price [1] relative to conventional sources of electrical generation.
Bill A34B [2] provides for a 25 percent tax credit to homeowners, up to $5000, of the cost of installation of certain solar energy equipment. The law also extends this tax credit to homeowners either leasing solar equipment or purchasing power produced by solar equipment in agreements lasting at least ten years. This law takes effect immediately and lasts 14 years.
Bill A10620 [3] extends a maximum $62,500 real property tax abatement of 2.5 percent between January 2013 and January 2015 for homeowners installing solar energy equipment through 2014. Bill A05522B [4] provides for exemptions to sales taxes imposed by the state on commercial solar energy equipment and also allows for localities to provide the same exemption. These laws will take effect in January 2013.
Governor Cuomo enumerated benefits of these incentives, stating that the laws "demonstrate the state's commitment to reducing energy costs, growing our green energy sector, creating jobs, and protecting the environment." The New York legislature cited the importance of these initiatives in achieving the ambitious goal set by New York's renewable portfolio standard [5] of generating 30 percent [6] of the state's electricity using renewable sources by 2015. In 2011, 24 percent of electricity consumed in New York [7] was produced by renewable sources.
This legislation furthers the goals of the Governor's NY-SUN Initiative [8], which aims to rapidly increase solar energy generation in the state, doubling the level of photovoltaic capacity installed in 2012 and to quadruple the amount of installation in 2013 compared with 2011. These three laws represent the latest legislative tools in a larger set of policies to increase solar generating capacity including competitive grants financing large-scale commercial solar projects [9] and noncompetitive grants funding smaller scale residential projects [10].

A city in the east has a new medical unit that can transport more than 20 people at a time.
Morehead City has a $357,000 medical ambulance bus they bought with a Homeland Security Grant.
Morehead City Fire and EMS designed it to transport 12 patients on stretchers and 10 in wheelchairs at one time.
Morehead City Police Chief Wes Lail says the bus has four primary missions- respond to a mass causality, assist in an evacuation, be a special standby at a large event, and be used for rehabilitation for on-scene responders and as a command center.
The grant was originally awarded to Carteret County. When they turned it down the city worked to get it.
The bus will eventually be used throughout the region- not just the city.

Police Arrest Three in Friday Night Robbery and Shooting in Drug Deal Gone Wrong
DATE: September 21, 2013
BY: Chief Gill Kendrick
Point of Contact: Capt. T. Miller 731-425-8676 email@example.com
Police Arrest Three in Friday Night Robbery and Shooting in Drug Deal Gone Wrong
Jackson police have arrested two men and a woman in a Friday night robbery and shooting investigation during a drug deal gone wrong.
Around 10:40 p.m., officers were investigating an unrelated call in the area of N. Highland Ave. and Carriage House Dr. when they heard gunfire. Officers moved toward the noise and found Jacob Crossett, 29, of Madison County, lying on the parking lot of Taco Bell, located at 2330 N. Highland Ave. Crossett had suffered gunshot wounds to both legs. Officers were able to obtain a description of the car that the suspects had fled in.
The car was spotted in the area of North Parkway and Campbell St. Police attempted to stop the car, and the driver fled causing officers to pursue. The car was finally stopped in the area of Fernlawn St. And Cherry Place after officers deployed spike strips and did a Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) maneuver.
The occupants of the car were not seriously injured. Two police cars received minor damage due to the PIT maneuver. The driver was identified as Preston Gray, 23, of Enville. A second man, Allen Evans, 36, of Chicago and a Jackson woman were also inside the car.
Based on the investigation, Gray set up a drug deal with Crossett. They met at Taco Bell to make the transaction. When Crossett attempted to sell Gray and Evans the simulated narcotics, Evans took the purported drugs and demanded money. Crossett refused to give up any money. Evans then pulled a gun and shot him both legs.
Police recovered the simulated drugs and a gun from Gray's car. The gun had previously been reported stolen in Madison County.
During the drug deal, Crossett was accompanied by Tracey Chambliss, 30, of Madison County. Police determined that she had an outstanding arrest warrant. She was transported to the Madison County Jail and faces charges of violation of community corrections and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Evans and Gray were both transported to the Madison County Jail. They both face a charge of especially aggravated robbery of Crossett.
Evans will face an additional charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and theft of property for being in possession of the stolen gun.
Gray will face an additional charge of sale and delivery of a controlled substance for facilitating the drug deal. Even though the drugs were not real, they were packaged in a manner and purportedly narcotics. Gray will also face a charge of felony evading arrest by motor vehicle.
Crossett was released from the hospital around 3 a.m. today.
Chambliss, Evans and Gray will be arraigned at 8 a.m. Monday in Jackson City Court.
This case remains under investigation, and additional charges are likely.

Grana (parmesan cheese)
The exchange between the villages in Alta Val di Non and the Trentino is not just of a linguistic or a cultural nature. Many of the mountain dairy farmers in Alta Val di Non deliver their milk to the neighboring people in alpine dairies in the Trentino. There the milk is used in the production of the best "Grana" cheeses of Italy.
The distinctiveness of these products lies in the fact that strict quality guidelines must be adhered to during the production of the milk: Only high quality hay and special all-grain feed combinations are permitted.
Although Parmigiano Reggiano and Grana Padano are the most widely known cheese brands in Italy, the Trentingrana cheese, the local variety of Grana produced in the Trentino region, is fast catching up in terms of reputation among those in the know.
It is produced by the local collective daires of the alpine dairy Fondo and Castelfondo , its only ingredients being cow's milk, salt and rennet. For the most part, its elaboration process is still carried out manually. For a piece of cheese of 40 kg, about 600 liters of cow's milk are required.
The maturation process of this delicious cheese takes 24 months, after which the Grana cheese is passed on to resellers.

Parking Appeals
If you believe that a University parking ticket was issued improperly, you have the right to file an appeal. All appeals are reviewed by the Parking Appeals Committee, composed of faculty, staff, and students.
Parking ticket appeals must be made in writing to the Parking Appeals Committee within 30 days of the notice of violation; after that, appeals are not accepted. Appeal forms may be obtained here, or in person at the Parking Services office or the Information Booth. Notice of the Parking Appeals Committee's decision will be mailed to you. The appeal of any ticket does not prevent the unpaid fine from doubling after 30 days.
If your written appeal is denied, you may appeal in person to the Parking Appeals Committee. To schedule a personal appeal appointment, call Parking Services at 607-777-2279 within seven days of the receipt of the written appeal adjudication. If you are unable to attend your personal appeal and do not contact Parking Services in advance, a decision will be made in your absence. The decision made at a personal appeal is final. If the final adjudication of the Parking Appeals Committee is in your favor, your name will be removed from the delinquency system.
If your vehicle is towed, the only available appeal is a personal appearance before the Parking Appeals Committee. Requests to schedule appointments must be made to the Parking Services office within 30 days of the tow.

So now the revered 70 year-old Austrian director is as well known for LOLZ as he is for filmmaking, and that's something that this year's Cesars used to full effect. While the Oscars pre-recorded skits were busy celebrating Mr Skin, the French equivalent imagined what "Star Wars: Episode VII" would look like if Haneke were to step into JJ's shoes. It's a pretty great "Amour" parody with some pretty funny "Star Wars" gags in there as well – we particularly enjoyed Chewbacca's appearance. The only thing it was missing was a good pigeon gag. You can take a look at the skit for yourselves below.
Arguably it's funnier than anything we saw at this year's Oscars, and that's a pretty damning indictment Mr. McFarlane when the French are out-funnying you. But hey, casual xenophobia aside, we had no idea the Cesars had such a sense of humor, and it almost makes us want to learn the language so we can watch next year's ceremony live. Almost. "Amour" went on the win five awards at the ceremony, so it proved to be a pretty great night all round for Haneke.

Junior Janine Fellows was named the 2010 LSWA Player of the Year and to the All-Louisiana first team.
June 7, 2010
New Orleans - For the second straight year, Tulane's golf team staked its claim as the best women's collegiate golf squad in the state of Louisiana by rolling through the annual Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA) postseason awards.
The Green Wave collected the specialty awards with junior Janine Fellows receiving the LSWA Player of the Year award, while rookie Maribel Lopez Porras was named the LSWA Freshman of the Year and John Thomas Horton was tabbed the LSWA Coach of the Year, and Tulane placed three players on the All-Louisiana first team.
"We are very grateful to the members of the Louisiana Sports Writers Association for voting for our players and we appreciate this wonderful recognition," Tulane head coach John Thomas Horton said. "There are many great players and programs in the state of Louisiana and we are honored to be a part of these awards."
A native of Houston, Texas, Fellows' Louisiana Player of the Year award, followed up her 2010 Conference USA Player of the Year honor and she was also named to the All-Louisiana first team. Fellows was a second-team All-Louisiana performer a year ago.
This past season, she concluded the 2009-10 campaign as the nation's 60th ranked player and led the Green Wave with a 74.39 stroke average. An All C-USA first team pick, Fellows registered nine rounds of par or better, including a career-low 4-under 67 during the final round of the C-USA Championships, which marked the championship record for the lowest individual round, and had five top-10 finishes, including the individual title at the Kinderlou Forest Challenge, and she finished as the runner-up at the Conference USA Championships.
Porras, who hails from Bogota, Colombia, completed her freshman season ranked 158th in the nation. She produced five rounds of par or better, including a career-best 4-under 68 during the second round of the Windy City Collegiate, and she posted two top-20 finishes with a career-best 8th place showing at the Conference USA Championships, a 12-place finish at the Ole Miss Rebel Intercollegiate and an 18th place effort at the Windy City Collegiate. She was a third team All C-USA performer.
Horton is a repeat LSWA Coach of the Year recipient after leading the Green Wave to three team titles, including the Kinderlou Forest Challenge, the Ole Miss Rebel Intercollegiate and the Conference USA crown, a sixth-place finish at the NCAA East Regionals and a 18th place finish at the NCAA Championships.
Under his leadership, five Green Wave players were named to the 2010 All-Conference USA teams, including three to the first team, and for the second straight season he coached the C-USA Player of the Year with Fellows' Co-Player of the Year selection.
Off the course, six of his seven players are either members of the Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll, earned the C-USA Commissioner's Academic Medal or is a member of Tulane's 3.0 Club. The group has also participated in numerous community service activities.
Junior Linn Gustafsson repeated as an All-Louisiana selection this season. A year ago, she was named the LSWA Player and Newcomer of the Year and was also named to the first team. This past season, she recorded one top-five finish, one top-10 and one top-20 finish, including a season-best third place effort at the Windy City Collegiate in the fall. She notched eight rounds of par or better this season, including her lowest round of 3-under 69 at the Windy City Collegiate during the opening round.
Sophomore Samantha Troyanovich is a first-time selection to the All-Louisiana first team after she was tabbed to the second team during her rookie season. This past year, she finished second on the team with a 75.39 stroke average and concluded the year ranked 128th in the country. Troyanovich posted two top-5 outings this season, including a third place showing at the Mo-Morial, and two top-20 finishes, and she finished par or better six times, including a season-best 2-under 71 during the opening round of the Kinderlou Forest Challenge.

A Conservation Commission hearing regarding what has become known as "the McLaughlin Pier" was again continued, until the beginning of June, as the presentation on the current application lasted more than two hours during last week's meeting.
The application concerns the former Drew House, which was previously the property of the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society. The applicant proposes a three-foot by 198-foot pier to be installed on the marsh near the Bluefish River.
The Commission heard a presentation from Paul Driscoll, John McLaughlin's attorney, who walked the commission through the plans for the slightly redesigned proposed pier, gangway and float. The original design included an eight-foot by 20-foot float with float stops. The second one, presented at last week's meeting, has the same size float but also has skids and legs.
Messina allowed Driscoll to present the proposed design without public comment, to allow members of the Commission the opportunity to ask questions about the application without interruption.
"We need to make sure we have heard the presentation by the applicant and have a full opportunity for the Commissioners to ask questions and to ask for more information," he said. "This is probably not the last hearing, so there will be other hearings where there will be more opportunity for public comment."
The main concern for the Conservation Commission is whether the proposed pier will have an adverse effect on the marsh and resource area upon which it will be built.
Bob Gray, of Sabatia, Inc., discussed the resource area and the Bluefish River that is in question. He gave an overview of the wetland resource areas that are depicted on the revised plans that are dated March 28.
Joe Grady, Conservation Administrator, asked Gray to clarify what the conservation areas are and where they are in relation to the proposed proj- ect. One point of confusion was a dotted line of the plans that represented the edge of the vegetated salt marsh and distinguished that area from the unvegetated salt marsh.
"We will be discussing this quite a bit," Grady said. "We will need to hear from you where you believe the demarcation is between the salt marsh, which includes the tidal creek, and the salt flat."
Much of the presentation was in response to a consultation conducted by the Horsley-Witten Group, which requested more information in February of this year regarding the impact of the project on the marsh and resource area.
Paul Brogna, of Seacoast Engineering, walked through the permitting process for the pier both within the commonwealth and with the federal government He provided several images of projects around town that his company has been involved with from both a permitting and construction standpoint.
The Commissioners asked for clarification on the sites for the examples that Brogna presented, because they said they did not believe the resource areas were similar to the one in question for the McLaughlin pier.
After some deliberation, the Commission decided to continue the hearing until the June 3 meeting at 7 p.m.

Beta3: Validators not working
if I add a validator to a field, it often (but not always) validates an old value. I did not use the "autoValidate" function, but simply relied on "validateOnBlur". Thus, as soon as I leave the field and go to the next, the validator is executed an operated on an old value.
This issue seems to be similar to the following post:
I observed this behaviour with the following example program:
public void onModuleLoad() { VerticalLayoutContainer c = new VerticalLayoutContainer(); // create field with validator NumberField<Double> numberField = new NumberField<Double>( new NumberPropertyEditor.DoublePropertyEditor() ); numberField.getValidators().add( new AbstractValidator<Double>() { public List<EditorError> validate(Editor<Double> editor, Double value) { return createError( editor, "I reject all values! Your value is " + value, value ); } } ); c.add( new FieldLabel(numberField, "NumberField"), new VerticalLayoutData(1,-1) ); // create another field TextField textField = new TextField(); c.add( new FieldLabel(textField, "TextField"), new VerticalLayoutData(1,-1) ); RootPanel.get().add(c); }
1 Mar 2012 8:49 PM #2
I'm not noticing this on Beta 4. Each time I hover the cursor over the error icon (when I am no longer focussed on the field), I see the correct value in the tooltip.
Try your test case with Beta 4 and see if that resolves the issue. If you still notice problems, post a reply with your browser, OS, and whether you noticed this problem in development mode, production mode, or both.

Acid Elephant
- Artists Splitloop, Wax Hands, Sirkus Sirkuz
- Release Date 2013-11-21
- Labels Toast Club Recordings
- Catalog TC009
Toastclubs 9th release sees an absolute Electro stormer from Sirkis Sirkuz and Wax hands. Label bosses Splitloop are on hand with a big room bass offering.
Sirkuz Sirkus
After spending the last 14 years touring the world playing the biggest clubs and festivals as part of The Japanese Popstars and Hedrock Valley Beats; Decky Hedrock decided to go back to his roots and create a new live act called Sirkus Sirkuz.
BBC Radio 1 Massive
A collection of all his musical influences, Sirkus Sirkuz is a versatile move for the dancefloor, creating electronic monsters with old school references and sounds, receiving support from a diverse selection of the worlds largest DJs including Fake Blood, Benny Benassi, Dr Lektroluv, Steve Aoki, Leftfield, Crookers, Digitalism, Zombie Nation and many more.
DMC World Magazine - "One of the UK's most exciting new producers"
DJ Mag - Delicately Devastating
With an impressive back catalogue of critically acclaimed releases over the years, including remixes for such high profile artists as Beyonce, Depeche Mode, Kylie, Ash, Gorillaz and more, as well as having previous major chart success in various countries including a No.1 in Australia, a National Airplay No.1 in the USA and other Top 30 chart hits with various releases as Hedrock Valley Beats in the early 2000s, Sirkus Sirkuz is seen as a continuation of Deckys prolific music career.
The Daily Star On fire
Over the last year GND Records, 9G Records, CRUX Records, Hottwerks and Rocstar Recordings have been label hosts to a constant stream of Sirkus Sirkuz releases which have climbed high in various DJ and dance music retailers charts. A consistent pattern of releasing at least one track, remix, collaboration or EP per month in 2013, allowed him to gain more profile to build this new project up from the ground and support from the national radio stations like BBC Radio 1, 2FM, XFM and more. Also, employing a bold move, to successfully collaborate with his fellow artists and peers, such as March Against, Shadow Dancer and Peter Silbermann to create a series of Versus EPs that push the dance music genre boundaries further.
Hotpress "One of our fave producers"
Mixmag - Sirkus Sirkuz specialises in beats aimed straight at the dancefloor
Not just wanting to be another DJ, he has also been building a reputation as a 'must see' live act, as Decky has brought a blistering live show to the clubs and festivals yet again proving his lineage. Playing a select number of gigs in 2013 and then having been asked back to play those venues again due to public demand solidifies that. Coming from a live background based around performances with keyboards, samplers and other electronic gadgetry gives an advantage over a scene which is made up of DJs.
Wax hands
Wax Hands, producer based in south east England, has had a busy few years since forming 4 years ago. His productions encompass many different elements of electronic music, from pounding tech, to hands in the air progressive and deep, grooving house, with many of his releases garnering support from industry heavy hitters such as Plump dj, Eddy Temple Morris amongst others.
the Plump Djs - "sounds great, like the big floor feel "
2 Bit Thugs - "Love it. Top Production"
The release of his debut album Suitable Company midway through 2013 has taken things to the next level, allowing him to produce a collection of tracks ranging from techno and electro, through deep and tech house, and chilled out electronica.
Eddy Temple Morris - "I like it. It's a game of two halves, but the breakbeat section comes across like the Hartnoll Brothers -no bad thing."
Pyramid - "Cool tune buddy ! Big ups"
Headline shows at various festivals and events across the uk and further afield have allowed Wax Hands to perform his ever evolving live show, to ever receptive crowds throughout the summer, and with booking stacking up it going to be a busy end of 2013 and an even busier 2014.
Splitloop have toured the world over, release 2 critically acclaimed albums and shared bills with the likes of Pendulum, Nick Thayer, The Crystal Method, Cold Cut, Hybrid, Krafty Kuts, NAPT, The Freestylers and the mighty Plump DJs. With a unique brand of energy their live and DJ sets never fail to wreck a club; maximum throttle from start to finish.

«Swiss VCs don't act differently than in other countries»
Is what et al. Peter Pfister answered when questioned on the readiness of Swiss venture capitalists to take risks. In the following interview, the venture kick jury member and Business Angel of the Year 2009, answers further questions on his understanding of risk and the kind of companies he prefers to invest in.
«Swiss Business Angel of the Year 2009» and venture kick jury member Peter Pfister
«Switzerland is expecting a start-up boom this year. What could be the driving factors behind it?»
Peter Pfister: «It is not obvious to me why there should be a start-up boom this year. Innovation and scientific achievements cannot be timed. The only thing a country can do is to provide a supportive environment and the resources that foster innovation. Switzerland with its high quality universities, foundations and initiatives such as CTI, >>venture>> and venture kick does an excellent job.»
«Leaders in innovation, award winners, etc. How does Switzerland fare in your opinion in the international start-up and entrepreneurial scene?»
Peter Pfister: «Given the size of the country, Switzerland compares very well with the rest of the world with respect to innovation and start-ups. We are one of the world leaders in number of patents issued. In Switzerland successful businesses often exit trough a trade sale versus an IPO. Therefore, once they are part of a larger corporation nobody hears about them anymore. To some extent this is due to the fact that a relatively large percentage of successful companies are in the life sciences. IPO's in the life sciences are very rare – in any country. We possibly lack enough young people who want to be entrepreneurs.»
«What are your thoughts on the first-time publication of the TOP 100 Startups?»
Peter Pfister: «Very few people have a complete overview of the Swiss start-up scene. Therefore I assume that many have chosen from the few companies they knew. Having said that, I believe the winners are all well deserved. In the future the organization could possibly prepare a review of the potential start-ups.»
«Hugo Wyss, an honorary member of SECA addressed those present at the TOP 100 event. He emphasized the paramount importance for Swiss start-ups to take on a global perspective, this being the only way to create the new Logitech. What do Swiss start-ups need to do differently in order achieve this?»
Peter Pfister: «Mr. Wyss is correct. For most businesses the Swiss market is simply too small. However, I believe most start-ups recognize the need to have an international focus. Two of the companies where I am actively involved have over 90% of their revenues outside of Switzerland. One observation I have made is that Swiss start-ups are often reluctant or slow to set up a sales office or a subsidiary in a foreign target market. A foreign market (especially in a different time zone) can often only be penetrated by establishing a physical presence and acquiring in depth market knowledge that only locals can provide.»
«One often hears voices criticizing Swiss venture capitalists – in particular when compared to their American but also to some of their European counterparts – saying that sometimes they just aren't ready to take the necessary risks. Your thoughts?»
Peter Pfister: «I don't think that Swiss VCs act differently than in other countries – it's a global business. However in the USA Business Angels and VCs work better together than in Switzerland. We both need each other. The VCs need the Business Angels to provide seed financing and the Business Angels need the VCs for follow-on financing. I'm convinced that with some effort on both sides the cooperation could improve and be mutually beneficial.»
«What are the areas you prefer to invest in – and why?»
Peter Pfister: «I mainly invest in Life Sciences, but I avoid drug development because it requires too much capital for Business Angels. In Life Sciences Switzerland plays in the Champions League.»
«Which start-up supported by Starangels is your personal favorite? Are there some venture kick start-ups that you consider to be promising investment opportunities?»
Peter Pfister: «Of course my favorites are those where I am invested, e.g. Selexis and Viroblock. Many other companies that found financing through StartAngels Network look promising, they are just not in a sector of my investment focus. I have discussed investments with several venture kick companies. Unfortunately we never got to a deal or they found financing elsewhere.»
«There are some fundamental tips which are often given to start-ups on the lookout for investors. Which principle is the most important one for you personally – do you have any particular tip for newcomers?»
Peter Pfister: «I always look at 4 risks: Product Risk, People Risk, Financing Risk and Market Risk. Every investor has to decide for him/herself if the risks of a specific investment opportunity are acceptable. Market Risk is often underestimated.»
«Which idea, which to your regret hasn't be presented to you yet, would entice you to invest all the money of the world in it?»
Peter Pfister: «There is no idea which would entice me to put all of my eggs in one basket. Diversification is a cornerstone of successful Business Angel investing.»

Half an hour after Tara went to the shower, she came into the kitchen. Jack was just finishing up with making eggs and bacon and spooned some onto a plate for Tara. She thanked him with a kiss on the cheek and sat down at the table. Jack dished up his own food and sat down opposite Tara.
"Betcha Troezen's already there," he told her. Her eyes were still half closed and she shrugged.
"He can wait... same as normal," she answered. Jack laughed.
"Maybe we should give him a key, then," he said. Tara's eyes shot open and she shook her head immediately.
"You carry one of the two keys," she objected. "The other is hidden safely away. This way, there isn't quite the risk of a break-in."
Jack chuckled and continued eating. When he was done, he slipped into the bathroom and took a quick shower. When he emerged, Tara had the TV on and was watching the news.
"Turn that off," he said. "Time to go to work."
Tara nodded and flipped the TV off. Jack and Tara walked out to the car together and drove to the building that housed the new game. As they pulled into the parking lot behind the building, Tara laughed.
"Troezen's here alright," she said. "Betcha he's at the cafe across the street."
"I'm not even betting," Jack answered. He handed her the key to the building. "I'll go get him... you get everything going."
They got out of the car and Jack crossed the street. He spotted Troezen almost immediately and walked over to him.
"G'mornin, Troezen," he said. "How's the coffee?"
Mom tells me I need brain food... but if writing ain't that, I don't know what is!

Just another typical winter day in Maine. Was out with my new D90 and thought this was a good setting to try some of the new features on the D90. One of the better things about shooting with the 18-105 lens on my D90 is the vibration reduction setting, its a great way to shoot in the snow. However sometimes taking it off is a good choice too. Never be afraid to turn off settings that make a shot supposedly "look" better. More after the break.
The vibration reduction setting on the D90 lens is pretty good though and usually I shoot with it on. But I thought today I'd go out and shoot without it turned on and see what happened. The below shot is one that I took this morning in the lovely snow storm (that still hasn't stopped yet).

Man of Muscle
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
I've reviewed quite a few non-nude female sites in my time but although I've seen a few relatively soft-core all-male sites, Man Of Muscle is the first completely non-nude male site I've ever encountered. In fact, there is nothing explicitly sexual about the content here at all. It could be aimed towards women or men, anyone who appreciates the sculpted near perfection of a male bodybuilder. The guys featured are amateurs but once you see their incredible physiques, you'll soon realize despite not being deemed professionals they take their workouts very seriously.
There are currently 18 galleries of crisp, clear high-resolution photos. What you see in each are men posing and working out in front of the camera. Many wear workout shorts or some even jeans but although, some may also be modeling in posing suits, these are still tasteful and provide full coverage. The emphasis is the beefcake not the beef sausage and the layouts really highlight the musculature of each ManOfMuscle in a serious manner not in an overly sexually provocative way. The gentlemen who have videos also have sets of video captures alongside their higher quality photo sets.
So far, 15 sets of videos are available for download in great-quality Windows Media format (720x480, 1670kbps). Each lad has about four or five clips lasting under 3 minutes each again showing him going through a variety of poses and doing some of his workout as well as talking about his exercise regime or giving us some tips on how to achieve certain fitness goals. These are very simple, straightforward scenes. No fancy sets just a bodybuilder in a studio in front of a mirror or using dumbbells or other equipment to show us the size of his muscles and to demonstrate his physique in motion.
Members also have access to a couple of fitness advice feeds, which when added to the exclusive clips and pictures updated weekly help to make the low monthly fee (about fifty percent of a standard site's charge) seem worthwhile for anyone who seriously admires a Man Of Muscle.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Donald Sterling could lose Clippers, face lifetime ban
Since alleged racist comments of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling hit the Internet, there's been a clamoring for Sterling to be suspended, fined and even booted from the NBA's ownership group. But how much action can the NBA take against Sterling if the league's investigation reveals he made those racist remarks?
ESPN asked its legal guru Lester Munson what action the NBA could take in this Q&A column on Monday.
For instance, could Sterling be ousted by his peers as an owner? Munson's answer:
Yes. Under the terms of Paragraph 13 of the constitution, the owners can terminate another owner's franchise with a vote of three-fourths of the NBA Board of Governors, which is composed of all 30 owners. The power to terminate is limited to things like gambling and fraud in the application for ownership, but it also includes a provision for termination when an owner "fails to fulfill" a "contractual obligation" in "such a way as to affect the [NBA] or its members adversely." Silver and the owners could assert that Sterling's statements violated the constitution's requirements to conduct business on a "reasonable" and "ethical" level.
In the Q&A, Munson also says that various punishments can be levied by commissioner Adam Silver, from an indefinite suspension, forfeiture of draft picks and fines ranging of up to $2.5 million dollars, to a lifetime suspension with fines.
The NBA is set to make an announcement on the Donald Sterling situation at a 1 p.m. CST press conference from New York.

I know it's currently considered cool to make bravado-based Pats playoff comments
" I don't care who the Pats play - as long as we play at our best we can beat anybody ".
Newsflash :
Right now that very same retread drivel is being used by at least a half dozen other NFL teams' fan bases .
It's usually spewed out by cliche' flingin' fans that don't understand the historical significance of having home field advantage / weaker opponents - as it relates to hoisting the Lombardi trophy .
Here's my wish - list ( realistic ) for the Pats playoff run :
Texans lose at Indy
Broncos beat KC
( Denver will sooner cut Manning and resign Tebow than lose to KC )
Pats get 2nd seed and first round BYE .
Wild Card Weekend
Colts lose at Baltimore
Bengals lose at Houston
Pats get to face Shaubs' Scrubs for 2nd time in a month
Broncos must face a possibly resurrected ( and definitely healthier) Ravens squad -
Who knows...Maybe the good Flacco shows up in Denver ?
Divisional Round
Ravens win at Denver
Pats get Texans in Foxboro
So instead of travelin' to face Peyton Manning in the AFC Championship game - the Pats stay home and again greet Joe Flacco ( hopefully the bad one ) for a return trip to the SB .
OR Plan B
( where us most-macho fans get our wish granted by takin' the tough road )
Wild Card
Smash mouth game vs Gino Atkins' Bengals D
Pats should win ( hopefully nobody gets hurt)
Div. Game
Trip to Denver to face a well rested Peyton Manning & Co.
Tough game - but we own Manning
( plus we always win in Colorado ...right ?)
AFC Championship
Away game in Houston.
No problem .
( Pretty sure visiting teams typically fair very well in Conference Championship games ...might have to double-check tho , I'll get back to you )
If Plan B gets us to the promised land - more power to you Pat's Chest Thumpers ...
No doubt it 'd be more exciting .
( after all - at it's core this game IS suppose to be ENTERTAINMENT )
But for me ,
I just want to experience ring #4 ...
and I'm old enough to know which path gives us the best chance to make it happen .
GO UD6's BOYS !
