The Jacksonville Jaguars will be players in free agency.
That's what head coach Jack Del Rio told a group of season-ticket holders this past Wednesday at the team's "Evening with the Coaches" event.
"(Owner) Wayne (Weaver) made very clear he is going to be a player going into the free-agent market," Del Rio said. "We also believe until we have established ourselves, we're going have to use free agency to fill some holes."
Just exactly how big of a player the Jaguars will be is up for debate.
The team's needs are safety, linebacker, wide receiver and possibly defensive end, in that order.
If the Jaguars do swing for the fences and go after the top talent available that means the Jaguars could be looking at shutdown cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha or big time wide receiver Sidney Rice.
Rice is a possibility but it's hard to envision the Jaguars getting into a bidding war for either of those elite-level free agents.
With that being said, I fully believe Del Rio when he says Weaver will open up his wallet for the second-tier of free agents.
To me that list includes:
- Jonathan Joseph, cornerback
- Ray Edwards, defensive end
- Stephen Tulloch, linebacker
- Antonio Cromartie, cornerback
- Eric Weddle, safety
- Paul Posluszny, linebacker
- Charles Johnson, defensive end
- Barrett Rudd, linebacker
- Quintin Mikell, safety
- Michael Huff, safety
Obviously there are others but I didn't want to go overboard. The good news for the Jaguars is that their positions of need are not spectacular but fairly deep in this potential free agent class so the odds are pretty good that you'll see the Jaguars look to acquire two or three starters once free agency does begin.
And while you probably won't see the team get that big-name free agent, there are plenty of higher-caliber plays that Jaguars will target.Tags: Football, free agent, Jack Del Rio, Jacksonville, Jacksonville Jaguars, NFL

- Our Pearl Quality Commitment
- Pearl Size Guide
- Return Policy
- Pearls of AAA quality have mirror-like luster with metallic sheen. They exhibit a 'depth' to their luster (often called 'orient') that makes them seem as if you are looking deep into the pearl.
- Pearls of AA quality have very good luster with a near-metallic/mirror-like effect. Though slightly less reflective and deep than AAA, they are still stunningly beautiful and shiny
- Pearls of A quality have good luster without variation or 'chalky' areas. They are highly reflective and exhibit "depth."
- Pearls below A quality level will have "milky" or "chalky" area and uneven luster.
- AAA quality pearls have virtually no surface blemishes and exhibit a very thick, even coat of nacre. Any blemishes that do exist will be tiny and barely noticeable, if noticeable at all, to the untrained eye.
- AA quality pearls have very slight surface blemishes with a very thick, even coat of nacre. Very small dimples or spots that are difficult to notice without very close examination
- A quality pearls have some surface blemishes, but most of the surface is clean and exhibits thick, even nacre. The blemishes that exist will not create any chips or breaks in the surface, nor be noticeable at conversation-distance.
- Pearls below A quality have blemishes that are noticeable at any distance. ANY break in the "nacre" surface is sub-A quality no matter how nice the remaining surface may be.
- AAA quality pearls will be perfectly round
- AA quality pearls may be ever-so-slightly off-round, but difficult to detect to the untrained eye.
- A quality pearls may be near-round to the trained eye or upon up-close examination, but will typically appear totally round from conversation-distance
- Pearls below A quality are off-round in shape, at a level to be noticeable at 'handshake" distance.
- Note that for pearls presented as button, baroque, fireball, or other 'fancy' shape, roundness is not part of the quality grading: In that case the quality rating would refer to the luster and surface of the pearl, not the roundness.
- 5mm or less: Generally recommended for young girls and/or very petite ladies.
- 6mm Pearls: A bit smaller than 'usual' - a good option for ladies 5'3" or under and/or with a particularly slender neck.
- 7mm - 8mm Pearls: The 'standard' size. Most pearl strands you've likely seen are about 7-8mm.
- 9mm - 10mm Pearls: Luxury size. Larger than the 'usual' pearl strand, but subtly so. (It is unusual to find Akoya Pearls larger than this).
- 11mm - 12mm Pearls: Noticeably larger than the norm. Typically only found in Freshwater, South Sea or Tahitian Pearls.
- 13mm - 16mm Pearls: A true 'statement' heirloom piece of jewelry. Only found in Freshwater, South Sea or Tahitian Pearls.
- 4mm pearls are about the same diameter as an unpopped popcorn kernel.
- 5mm pearls are about the same diameter as a #2 pencil's eraser.
- 6mm pearls are about the same diameter as a #2 pencil's shaft (a #2 pencil's shaft is 1/4" which is 6.3mm).
- 7mm pearls are about the same diameter as an average dress-shirt button.
- 8mm pearls are about the same diameter as a green pea (not the 'baby' peas, the regular ones your mom forced you to eat...).
- 9mm pearls are about the same diameter as an AAA battery.
- 10mm pearls are about the same diameter as an M&M Candy (the longer side).
- 12mm is just a hair under 1/2 inch, so 12mm pearls are about the same diameter as the thickness of a standard household sponge.
- 14mm pearls are about the same diameter as an AA battery.
- 16mm pearls are about the same diameter as the width of standard-size dice (or think of it as if you took a die and cut off the corners to make it round).
- 18mm pearls are about the same diameter as a dime.
- 20mm pearls are about half-way between a penny and nickel (19mm and 21mm respectively).
- 24mm pearls are about the same diameter as a quarter.

About the Capitan Collection
These items were created to salute the captain in every man. A "captain" is defined as a leader, a person who takes charge. He is the one who protects, who enters the unknown first for the benefit of crew or clan and does so with dedication and love. This is men's jewelry that celebrates the most important elements in a man's life: Loyalty, Beauty, Wisdom, Honor, Family, Hope, Strength and Love.
The inspiration for my designs came from ancient Japanese Samurai swords maker, Unno Moritoshi. Years ago, I saw an exhibit of such artifacts at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. I was moved by the strength, love and dedication it took to create these instruments. So much artistry was required to decorate these swords--swords of honor yet also weapons of war and death--with delicately inlaid symbols. Today, each item in The Capitan Collection contains small elements and talismans that are forged, like the ancient swords that came before them, into deeply oxidized Sterling silver and 14k yellow gold.
With each item, a legend is told and unfolds. And yet, like most good tales, the story of a man's life continues as the Universe moves forward. This is the never-ending story, the beauty of Life in all its mysteries. This is what I give you with The Capitan Collection.

While many factors affect pearl quality, two of the most vital are luster and surface quality. Roundness is also a key factor.

Some quick guidance:
Having said that... if you're like us, it can be hard to 'visualize' what a 4mm or 8mm or any "mm" pearl size really looks like. And posting an image online isn't so good since they vary in size based on your monitor/resolution.
So here we're going to list some common pearl sizes compared to 'real world' objects that may be easier for you to picture:

MERRITT ISLAND, Fla. - Brevard County health officials are urging residents to take caution after a person was bitten by a raccoon, later proven to have rabies.
The Brevard County Health Department received confirmation of the raccoon testing positive Tuesday. That animal was located near North State Road 3, in Merritt Island.
Treatment was started for the person who was bitten by the animal.
Because rabies can be fatal in humans if not prevented or treated in time, officials are asking residents to be particularly careful by taking the following precautions:
-Report any strange behavior you see of animals
-Avoid direct contact with wild animals like raccoons, bats, etc.
-Have all cats and dogs immunized against rabies
-Keep all animals leashed when out and about
-Immediately report animals running at large
-Immediately report all animal bites received
If you come across any animals you suspect of rabies, stay back and contact the Brevard County Health Department at (321) 454-7111 or Animal Services and Enforcement at (321) 633-2024.

THE POLICE and Crime commissioner for Avon and Somerset Constabulary has visited Krunch Youth Club in Thornbury to discuss the club's work.
PCC Sue Mountstevens visited the club, based at Turnberries in Thornbury, where she talked about the work of the club and its links with the community on Wednesday, August 20.
Avon and Somerset Constabulary provide some funding to Krunch South West through the Proceeds of Crime Act who run the youth club held on two evenings a week.
As part of Ms Mountstevens' role she aims to spend at least one day a week visiting community programmes supported Avon and Somerset Constabulary.
Krunch have seen 280 young people use the club since it was founded just over a year ago and usually have between 20 and 30 children attend their bi-weekly sessions.
The club also run a mentoring programme where they work closely with children on the brink of exclusion who have been referred by their school. Krunch then works with them to resolve any issues and help teaches them skills through a range of activities they run.
Registered members come from as far away as Dursley and Stoke Gifford to the Thornbury-based youth club.
Ms Mountstevens said that the work of youth clubs is vital in preventing crime: "I'm really impressed with the work Krunch does, particularly their early intervention work in schools.
"The key thing about Krunch is that they provide a place where young people can come and be safe.
"The relationships they build with children gives them the freedom they need and that is the key to unlocking their potential.
"I notice a big difference when clubs like this close down. I think the work they do is vital in giving young people something to do.
"When there aren't opportunities like this around children will get bored and they will then do things which many of us recognise as anti-social behaviour."
Penny Baker, Krunch South West project manager, said: "Without funding from Avon and Somerset police we couldn't pilot our personal development schemes which have proved so successful.
"When people like Sue come to visit us it rubber stamps the work we do for the community as a whole.
"Many people in Thornbury don't even know that we're here, we like to work with other people in the community so that they can get a better understanding of the work we do."

LAFAYETTE, La. — Two men from Georgia have been sentenced for defrauding several retail businesses nationwide out of hundreds of thousands of dollars through identity theft and wire fraud, federal authorities said.
U.S. District Judge Richard T. Haik sentenced Derrick Nathanial Hartfield, 46, of Smyrna, Ga., to five years in prison, four years of supervised release and a $10,000 fine for wire fraud and two years in prison, two years of supervised release and a $5,000 fine for aggravated identity theft, U.S. Attorney Stephanie A. Finley said Tuesday. The prison terms will be served consecutively.
Haik also sentenced Rico Carty Clemons, 48, of Riverdale, Ga., to 10 months in prison and two years of supervised release for wire fraud, Finley said in a news release.
Both men also were ordered to pay $14,869 in restitution.
According to evidence presented at a May plea hearing, Hartfield and Clemons admitted using illegally obtained retail store gift cards and applied for credit/debit cards using other peoples' identities. Hartfield also told law enforcement officers he may have obtained about $1 million since 2005 as a result of the scheme.
A Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office deputy working a security detail at a Lake Charles Wal-Mart on July 7, 2012, apprehended Hartfield in the store. The officer then identified Clemons who was in a parked vehicle outside. The two men were in possession of $2,000 and numerous debit and credit cards that were not in their names.

Just had to share with all my friends:
I made 2 excellent beef tenderloins this weekend over charcoal. It was at my inlaws, using an old Weber, complete with damage from where a tree fell on it. They came out great and there was much rejoicing. I just couldn't let those beautiful cuts of meat go into the oven. So I stepped up to the plate, with all your voices of charcoal advise ringing in my head, and pulled off a masterpiece, if I do say so myself.
I still like my gas though.
But I'd deffinately do it again!

WINGER Gary Roberts was a frustrated man despite Town's dominant 4-0 victory over Carlisle on Saturday.
Roberts was handed a start in place of Raffa De Vita on the left of the Town midfield, and impressed on his return to the side as he combined superbly with Andy Williams and James Collins to help Town cruise to victory.
The 28-year-old had a number of chances to score including two efforts at the back post from tight angles, and also saw a shot saved which eventually allowed De Vita to tap home Town's fourth.
But while the former Huddersfield man was pleased to have earned a place in Paolo Di Canio's starting line-up, he was frustrated not to find the net himself.
"I had a few chances to score, and to be honest if I was still on the pitch now I probably still wouldn't have scored," he said.
"But it is good to be back in the team, and I was more than happy to get a start and hopefully I have done enough to stay in the team.
"But it is a squad game, and we have a big squad and we saw Raffa come on and get another goal, so that shows how tough it is."
Both Roberts and De Vita have shown flashes of brilliance during the first half of the season, and Roberts is hoping his display has given Di Canio a tough decision to make for next week's trip to Bournemouth.
"It is a great problem for the gaffer to have, because even though he didn't start Raffa came on and did well, and he is a quality player, and Matt Ritchie is on the other side too,"
"Having so much quality is only good for the team, and we all want each other to do well. But we all want to play too, so the competition is a great thing for us to have."

The Indiana Constitution directed the General Assembly to divide the State into judicial circuits, and provided that a Circuit Court would be established in each circuit. Presently, the boundaries of 90 Indiana Circuits are co-extensive with the boundaries of a particular Indiana county. There are two less populated counties which share a circuit. The boundaries of Indiana's First Judicial Circuit are the same as the boundaries of Vanderburgh County. The First Judicial Circuit Court is commonly known as the Vanderburgh Circuit Court.
Judge David D. Kiely was elected to the office of Vanderburgh Circuit Court Judge in 2012 for the term beginning in 2013. In addition, Kelli E. Fink has served as Vanderburgh Circuit Court Magistrate Judge since her appointment in 2009. Michael J. Cox was appointed as Vanderburgh Circuit Court Magistrate Judge as of August 3, 2015.

Sharon J. Lettman-Hicks
Executive Director & Chief Executive Officer
Throughout her career, Sharon J. Lettman-Hicks has brought vision, innovation, entrepreneurial spirit, political savvy, and strategic thinking to every endeavor she has attempted. She has the ability to bring talented people together to form cohesive leadership teams within organizations and build collaborative advocacy coalitions among very diverse stakeholders. A nationally recognized leader, Sharon thrives on challenges and seeks to develop and foster leadership in others. In January 2014, President Barack Obama named her to the President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for African Americans.
In October 2009, Mrs. Lettman-Hicks became the Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC), a civil rights organization dedicated to empowering Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. Founded in 2003, NBJC has provided leadership at the intersection of national civil rights groups and LGBT organizations, advocating for the unique challenges and needs of the African-American LGBT community that are often relegated to the sidelines. NBJC envisions a world where all people are fully-empowered to participate safely, openly and honestly in family, faith and community, regardless of race, gender identity or sexual orientation. In concert with NBJC's mission to eradicate racism and homophobia, her personal goals are to make the Black family the focal point of NBJC; to tell compelling stories about the Black LGBT community; and to see Black LGBT people understood, embraced and respected for their valuable contributions to society.
Sharon comes to NBJC after eight years at the People For the American Way (PFAW) Foundation, where her responsibilities included leading the "Homophobia in the Black Church" program through their African American Religious Affairs division. As an Executive Vice President at the PFAW Foundation, Sharon's responsibilities included overseeing the institution's dynamic leadership programs and the organization's engagement with supporters and investors, key constituency groups, and coalition allies. She was one of the chief architects of the leadership programs, and provided invaluable vision and innovative implementation models that led to the programs' tremendous growth. Sharon has been successful in orchestrating strategic partnerships, ranging from building grassroots activism to catalyzing the engagement and investment of key influencers and funders.
Sharon is renowned for her political acumen and an ability to bring together unlikely allies as stakeholders in joint collaborations that strengthen the progressive movement and give power to new ideas and policies. Her efforts to bridge divides across race, religion and sexual orientation were featured in the Gill Foundation's 2007 annual report, which identified her as a key ally for the LGBT equality movement. Sharon has been a powerful spokesperson for religious liberty, and the separation of church and state; her leadership in this arena has gained the confidence of individual and foundation investors. The Rockwood Leadership Institute selected Sharon as one of 24 progressive executive management leaders for the 2008-09 Leading from the Inside Out Fellowship Program, designed to strengthen senior leadership in the non-profit sector.
She has appeared on broadcast and in print media nationally, including CNN, MSNBC, the Washington Post, Black Enterprise magazine, the "Tom Joyner Morning Show" and The Root.com. She currently serves as a member of the National Business Inclusion Consortium for the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC); Project Advisory Committee Member of the LGBT Safe Schools Initiative for the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN); the Advisory Council of Creative Coalition's Be A STAR: Show Tolerance And Respect, a national anti-bullying initiative; and the Executive Committee of the National Black Leadership Forum. In addition, Sharon has served on the Board of Directors for the National Stonewall Democrats and the Advisory Council of Progressive Majority's Racial Justice Campaign; and she has been a national trainer for Wellstone Action, Democracia USA and the Front Line Leaders Academy. Sharon believes activism includes the need to financially support your interests—she is a Justice Society member of NBJC, and a fully-paid life member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., FAMU National Alumni Association, and the NAACP. Mrs. Lettman-Hicks is the proud wife of a retired Iraqi War veteran who served in the United State Air Force, and they reside in Southern Maryland, near Washington, DC.

Topic: New Cancer Research Centre in Dundee
Hi everyone,
I saw this in my local paper today and thought I would post a link.
http://www.thecourier.co.uk/output/2010 … 2086t0.asp
It is not directly CC related, but the more research into cancer and what can be done to it fight it in the future is always good. Dundee is my home city, born here and lived all my life here, and Ninewells is where my dad was diagnosed and treated.
From what the piece says, it seems like Cancer Research UK are trying to establish a chain of research centres throughout the UK and Dundee is the first of many planned. Hopefully they will all be up and running soon, and as Margaret would say, we can keep kickin that cancer!
Best wishes all,

I don't usually crave spicy food, but every now and then, some hot wings are in order. On this day, I was torn between lemon pepper and hot wings and decided to do a combination. In addition to combining these flavors, I decided to cook them two different ways. The spice mixture consisted of the following:
Ground together in spice grinder:
I then seasoned the wings liberally and tossed them onto the smoker with some oak:
Fresh off the smoker at 350 degrees:
Lunch is served:
That's a winning seasoning mix--zesty with a huge kick. The wings were also nice and moist, and the skin was crispy.
For dinner, I decided to try applying a crunchy seasoned coating to the wings. I started off by cutting the wings and seasoned them liberally with the habenero death dust, letting them marinate for 8 hours:
The crunchy coating was made with crushed corn flakes, panko bread crumbs, and lemon pepper seasoning:
The crushed corn flakes and panko bread crumbs were coated with Pam and then seasoned with lemon pepper:
The marinated wings were dipped in an egg wash, then coated:
As a side, I made some garlic scalloped potatoes to put on the smoker. Made some bechamel sauce:
The sauce was layered between thinly sliced potatoes:
Chicken and scalloped potatoes on the smoker:
I know I took a few dinner plate shots, but they managed to disappear from the camera. Got to be careful with those camera buttons. The scalloped potatoes were awesome. The chicken, while perfectly golden brown and seasoned, were crunchy as hell. I mean, if I had expensive dental work, I'd have had a heck of a dental bill. Going to have to go back to the drawing board with that one. Perhaps a lighter, more finely ground, Shake-n-Bake style corn flake and panko coating would fair better.
For dessert, I decided on a smoked apricot-peach frozen yogurt and smoked nectarine crumble combo. I hate chunks of frozen fruit in my ice cream, so the smoked fruit aspect of the frozen yogurt came from reducing fruit nectar on the smoker, using apple and cherry wood:
Some of this smokey, fruit nectar reduction was added to some greek yogurt and heavy whipped cream:
Into the gelato Pro:
The nectarines were sliced, coated in cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, and brown sugar, then left to macerate. They were then placed on the BGE with cherry and apple wood:
Made the crumble topping and covered the smoked fruit:
The smell of this crumble cooking was unbearable. Finally, dessert was served:
The smoked apricot-peach frozen yogurt reminded me of a dreamsickle--truely refreshing. The warm, buttery rich, nectarine crumble was right at home with the frozen yogurt. Definitely a match made in heaven.
Good eats.

A Healthy Summer Treat: Banana "Ice Cream"by Monique Volz in Uncategorized, June 1, 2012
We're hosting a Healthy Every Week Challenge for the month of May; a month-long initiative to develop healthy eating habits. The plan is to develop a manageable healthy habit each week that will carry through the new year. Join us here and share what you're eating on Facebook and Twitter.
I'm here wrapping up the Healthy Eating Challenge, but secretly I am wishing it was continuing longer! The healthy habits I've practiced during the month of May have actually stuck with me. I mean, who knew that plotting out my bites would lead to money saving and weight loss? I certainly didn't. Now eating breakfast every morning, preparing meals ahead of times, and thinking about the choices I make when I visit the grocery store helps me stay on track with healthy habits.
I think the hardest part of the challenge was trying to resist eating dessert. Summertime has me craving something cool and sweet. While buzzing around the internet, I found an incredible recipe for banana 'ice cream'. Here's the thing–this magical "ice cream" really isn't ice cream at all — it's a one-ingredient, dairy-free treat that tastes like soft serve. Have you ever tried it?
One medium banana has about 105 calories, is loaded with potassium and vitamins, and is fat free. All you need to make this ice cream is a food processor and chunks of frozen bananas. When processed, the frozen bananas transform into a wonderfully sweet ice cream alternative that can save you a ton of calories.
The best part of this guilt-free treat? Adding fun mix-ins! I love mimicking my favorite candy bars. When I created mine (pictured above), I was thinking about Almond Joys (my favorite candy bar). I made my banana "ice cream" first and piled it into a cone then; then rolled it in toasted coconut, chopped almonds, and a few dark chocolate chips.
Here are some of my favorite fun mix ins:
• Banana cream pie: Crumble a graham cracker or vanilla wafers on top
• Sweet-n-salty: Crushed chocolate covered pretzels on top
• Peanut butter cup: Mix in 2 teaspoons of peanut butter and top with 1 teaspoon of chocolate chips
• Snickers: Top with 1 teaspoon peanuts, a few chocolate chips, and a drizzle of caramel
• Strawberries-n-cream: Add 1/3 cup chopped strawberries
• Nutella banana: Mix in 2 teaspoons of Nutella
For more fun toppings, check out Dana's ideas here.
Now here's how to make your own banana "ice cream":
Start with 2-4 ripe bananas. Peel your bananas and cut them into small chunks. Freeze for just 2-4 hours on a plate or in a plastic bag. Place into food processor and process (you can use a blender as well), making sure to scrape down the bowl when they stick. Again process the bananas until they create a creamy puree. Serve in a cold bowl or in a cone. Each banana will make ½ cup of "ice cream."
I hope you'll continue to keep up with healthy habits you've learned during the month of May, it's been so much fun! As always you can catch me over on my food blog Ambitious Kitchen.

Visionary Voice Award: FAQs
Each year NSVRC partners with state, territory and tribal coalitions to honor individuals across the U.S. with visionary voice awards. These awards are announced every April during SAAM to spotlight the great work happening in communities to prevent sexual violence. The award process is already underway as NSVRC is currently accepting nominations, and I thought this would be a good opportunity to explain more about the awards and answer frequent questions about the awards.
What is the Visionary Voice Award?
In observance of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), the annual Visionary Voice Awards highlight individuals throughout the country whose outstanding prevention work is making a significant impact in their communities. Nominees are selected by state, tribal, or territory anti-sexual violence coalitions and represent a wide-range of individuals working in various professions to end sexual violence and promote safe, healthy communities.
How are winners selected?
State, territory, and tribal coalitions select an outstanding individual to nominate for the awards each year. Nominees may be partners from a local community or other outstanding individuals that have worked to end sexual violence, but must be nominated by a coalition.
Can I nominate someone I know?
Nominations are submitted to NSVRC by sexual assault coalitions. This partnership allows for NSVRC to support the state and community level work of the anti-sexual violence movement across the country. Generally one winner is selected from each state or territory that submits nominees. If you are interested in recommending an individual for nomination, you can share that recommendation with the coalition in your region. The final decision of who will be nominated for the award is made by the coalition.
How can I learn more about previous winners?
In 2012, twenty leaders from across the country were honored with this award. To learn about past award winners and how these individuals have made outstanding contributions to sexual violence prevention, visit: http://www.nsvrc.org/saam/award

It would be hard to pinpoint precisely when it happened, but at some point, Elvis Costello confused his record collection with his own career. It probably started with Almost Blue, his 1981 country-covers album. Costello had no business performing classics by Hank Williams and Patsy Cline, but for some reason, it worked out pretty well anyway; the worshipful inexperience he and his band brought to the task bent even the most resistant tracks to their will. Viewed as an aberration at the time, Almost Blue has set the standard for Costello's later excursions into whatever genre he feels like tackling, whether it needs his involvement or not.
Costello's simultaneously released new albums find him determined to prove once again that he can do right by whatever style suits him. But he never quite proves it. Recorded in Nashville, The Delivery Man has a combination of country, soul, and general American rootsiness that recalls Costello's great King Of America, but never quite matches its predecessor. A loose concept album about a possibly murderous deliveryman named Abel and the women in his life (represented on two different tracks by Emmylou Harris and Lucinda Williams), The Delivery Man only sparks to life when it slows down. The album-opening "Button My Lip" and the politically charged "Bedlam" exemplify an approach Costello can't pull off anymore: spitting venomous vocals over a beat that charges to keep pace with him. The searing ballad "Country Darkness" and "The Judgement" (originally written for Solomon Burke), on the other hand, capture Costello at his most searing. The songs scorch away the layers of formalism and academic appreciation and find a way to breathe on their own.
Commissioned by Italy's Aterbelletto dance company, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, and conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas, Il Sogno marks Costello's first attempt at a full-length orchestral piece. Intended to accompany a ballet adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream, it patches together a little Debussy, a little Aaron Copland, and a lot of George Gershwin. Saxophonist John Harle cuts loose on some solos to bring out the jazz, and it all sounds pleasant enough to not offend, as well as inventive enough to confirm Costello as more than a dabbler. It also sounds like, at best, a minor pleasure, which seems like the only kind of pleasure Costello has to offer these days.

Vibe Squashing is the act by which a person removes a negative topic from conversation by stating: Vibe Squashed. Typically, the scenario will involve illicit drugs and be used as a measure to prevent negative vibes from manifesting themselves into uncontrollable paranoia, but this does not have to be the case, and a vibe squash can be used in any social setting where negative vibes may exist. Once the vibe squashed is an accepted term amongst the group, any member of the group can interject the conversation with vibe squashed and the conversation must start anew.
Bill: Yo, what if the cops come or something while we're doing all these drugs, or something.
Ted: Hey man, vibe squashed.
Jake: The weather outside... Is weather.
Ted: Hey man, vibe squashed.

As three CV-22s on a rescue mission descended on a U.N. compound in war-torn South Sudan, Capt. Arjun Rau saw something he'll never forget — a bright red streak, headed straight at him.
"We were turning right, and I see a red tracer fly by my head," Rau said of the Dec. 21 flight. "I thought it was a road flare. It turned out to be a tracer."
His seat in the Osprey's cockpit began to shake. Small-arms and heavy machine gun rounds peppered his aircraft, Chalk 2, and the two others in the flight. The carbon fiber floor started to shred and the armor under his seat began to rumble as rounds came through the aircraft.
"I thought about, initially, almost nothing," Rau said. "I was kind of a little bit in shock at first over being shot at. But then everyone went right into thinking, 'OK, what do we do next?'"
The Ospreys flew into the civil war raging in South Sudan on a flight to try to rescue American citizens in the city of Bor, the center of the violence. Four Special Forces troops were injured on the flight and 119 rounds hit the three Ospreys, but the crews' quick thinking and prompt action prevented more casualties.
The Air Force recently awarded the 12 air crew members on the mission with the 2013 Mackay Trophy, awarded for the most meritorious flight in the Air Force that year.
Mission aborted
The Ospreys and crews from the 8th Special Operations Squadron were deployed to Djibouti from their home base of Hurlburt Field, Florida, for several months as violence raged in South Sudan. An attempted coup triggered violence across the country, two years after it had declared its independence from Sudan.
The airmen were told for weeks that American citizens could be under threat from the rebels and to form rescue plans if they were called into action. The U.S. Embassy in the capital city of Juba had evacuated at least 450 Americans and other foreign nationals. A U.N. helicopter was downed by small-arms fire the day before the Ospreys took off.
"Just leading up to our launch, there was a little bit of an uptick in violence," Rau said.
The crews took action Dec. 21. The flight of three Ospreys flew about 750 miles through three countries to reach the U.N. compound in Bor, which had recently fallen into rebel control.In addition to the 12 aircrew members, the Ospreys carried 21 special operations troops for the mission.
The flight was uneventful, until they arrived at the compound, said Master Sgt. Alberto Delgado, who was a special mission aviator on the third aircraft.
When the Ospreys arrived, they circled the site and assessed the area before beginning their approach. They flew close to the ground and began to turn right as the first rounds were fired. Rebels hit the flight with small-arms, heavy machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades.
Chalk 2, Rau's Osprey, took fire toward his cockpit. The lead aircraft, Chalk 1, took the heaviest fire, injuring four Special Forces troops. Chalk 3, Delgado's Osprey, was also hit. The rescue was off, and the crew had new priorities.
"One of the first things that flew to my head is, 'What are we going to do with the evacuees?' '' Rau said. "There was a contingency plan put into effect, and the citizens were eventually evacuated shortly thereafter."
The Ospreys scattered and rushed out of the area. Chalk 2 had the flight's medic and he began assessing the injuries on Chalk 1 over the radio. While in flight, the medic began a mobile "blood bank," requesting blood types of the crew and drawing blood.
The three aircraft had fuel leaks, structural damage and flight control failures, and still had to fly more than 500 miles to a waiting C-17 in Entebbe, Uganda, so the injured troops could be evacuated.
A C-130 that was standing by refueled the aircraft multiple times en route. The Ospreys finally landed an hour and a half after taking the first shots in Bor. The injured troops were then taken to Nairobi, Kenya, and all four survived.
'We took a lot of fire'
The CV-22 Osprey, once one of the military's most controversial aircraft, has become a workhorse for Air Force special operations, thanks to their ability to operate in missions such as this.
"We took a lot of fire, we took a lot of damage," Delgado said. "The aircraft proved to be very battle hardened."
The tilt-rotor aircraft flies two- to three times as fast as a regular helicopter, Rau said, which allowed the crews to get out of the attack quickly and make it to Entebbe despite extensive damage.
"We were shot multiple times in multiple fuel cells," Rau said. "The equipment didn't explode. The leak was stopped."
The crews in the mission credit the evasive maneuvers for preventing more casualties and getting the flight back to safety.
"One moment that will always stick with me was a Special Forces member approaching me a few months after the flight and asking if I was the aircraft commander of the flight he was on. I nodded yes," Maj. Taylor Fingarson, the pilot of the third Osprey, said in an Air Force release on the mission. "He told me, as he heard the rounds hitting the aircraft, he felt me maneuver the Osprey in ways he didn't know were possible. He told me I saved his life."
Meritorious flight
The Mackay Trophy dates back to 1912 and has been presented for flights such as Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier and Operation Homecoming in the Vietnam War. Recently, it has been presented to pararescue crews for dramatic rescues in Afghanistan.
"It's impressive, I'm very proud of that," Delgado said. "It's an honor to have our name on the same trophy."
"I feel very insignificant, compared to the other award winners," Rau said. "They are pretty inspirational and amazing. ... They did some very, very amazing things. "
While the crews of the Ospreys will receive the trophyat a November ceremony, the award really goes to everyone who was involved in the mission, Rau said.
"Everybody performed so admirably that day. All the crew members on board our three aircraft, as well as our accompanying C-130 that gave us the critical air refueling. As well as the special operations team members onboard. Everybody went above and beyond," he said.

San Clemente High School alumnae Heidi MacDonald and Maili Rohner joined forces after high school, starting a mural-painting business in Hawaii.
The team recently illustrated their first children's book, "Is There Really Such Thing as a Family Tree?"
MacDonald agreed to answer a few questions via email about the book experience and life in San Clemente.
Q. Tell me about the book you recently illustrated.
A. "Is There Really Such Thing as a Family Tree?" is an inspired, charming picture book with a very clear message – no matter how they are created, families are awesome! This book also introduces all the characters and gives you their backgrounds. The author's website myworldmedia.net also has everything you would like to know about her motivation behind the book series. The next book, "Who Do I Look Like?" is the first character book based on (the character) May being adopted from China. Each character will have their own book.
Q. How did you get started as an illustrator with this project?
A. We met the author Renee Carter two years ago. … We met and talked to her for about three hours. She told us about the nine characters that she needed designed and a little about her first three books. We left that meeting and designed one page from each book to see if she liked our style and a few characters as well.
When we met again and showed her what we had come up with, she said, "If I could draw, this is exactly what I would have drawn – you drew what has been in my head for years."
Q. How long does it typically take to complete one page of book illustration?
A. Maili (Rohner) does the rough sketch of the spread and then I do a refined finished version. Then I send that back to Maili and she does all of the coloring. On average we probably both work on the spreads for about eight to 10 hours each.
Q. Where do you live and operate your business?
A. I live in San Clemente and my business partner (Rohner) lives in Seattle. We started our mural painting business in 1995 on Kauai and moved back to Southern California in 1998.
Q. Have you always been interested in art and design?
A. Yes, it helped that both of our families are artistic. My brother works for "The Simpsons" cartoon in Burbank.
Q. What was it like growing up in San Clemente? What year did you graduate?
A. We both graduated in 1992. Maili was on the surf team and we were both on the basketball team. That's how we became friends.

Somerset County First Division
Saltford 1, Middlezoy Rovers 2
MIDDLEZOY scored twice in the final ten minutes to beat Saltford 2-1 on Saturday.
After falling behind on the half hour mark, Andy Smith blasted home an equaliser from long range on 80 minutes – before Dan Luce popped up three minutes later to tap home the winner.
Manager Johnny Warren believes his side deserved to take all three points from the game, despite not being at their best.
He said: ''On the balance of play we feel like we got what we deserved. Our keeper hasn't had an awful lot to do over the course of 90 minutes and we have tried to keep the ball on a difficult surface.
"We haven't played particularly well today, by our high standards, but have found a way of winning and it's three more points on the board."
The home side took the lead on 29 minutes through Andy May and were causing the Middlezoy defence problems with their direct counter attacking.
Middlezoy enjoyed the majority of possession but were not at the races in the first period, on a bobbly pitch in need of a good roll.
After half time, Middlezoy improved but were struggling to make the final pass count.
The Saltford goalkeeper was doing his best to preserve a slender lead and saved well from Steve Hall midway through the second half.
The Middlezoy equaliser was worth waiting for when Andy Smith found the net with a superb long range strike on 80 minutes.
That goal had Middlezoy believing they could take all three points and the match winner was Dan Luce three minutes later who tapped in from close range.
Middlezoy now eight points off second place, with a game in hand and travel to fourth placed Brislington this weekend.
Team: Baker, Bone (Temlett), Brown, L Turner, Lintell (Sc Turner), Cann, Smith, Luce, Hall, Wright (Warren), Atyeo.

DOUBLE-TRAP star Peter Wilson has given his biggest indication yet that he is set to try and defend his Olympic title in 2016.
Since striking gold in London last summer, the Dorset shooter's future in the sport has been unclear but a trip to Rio now appears to be at the forefront of his mind.
The Dorchester-born ace told Echosport: "You have caught me at a good time because we have just had a big British Shooting meeting in Newbury and we are now beginning to focus on the next Olympics.
"I have been thinking about that a lot and I am more certain now that I will be at least attempting to go to Rio in 2016.
"I do not want to jump the gun because there are all the qualifications to go through first but hopefully I will get there."
Big changes have been made to the Olympic discipline of double trap since the home Games but Wilson is confident a year of hard training will soon see him adapt.

I have this search bar on my site that begins with:
<form id="searchform" class="non-widget" action="http://www.mysite.com/" method="get">
This is going to sound silly, but how do I replace the url in the action statment with multiple urls of my choice?
ThanksAny help is realy appreciated.
Any idea?
I suggest you aim the form at a script file and have that take care of querying your multiple urls. There's an example here.
Maybe I need to tell you more about what I am trying to do.I have kind of library site with all kind works published in it and, like mine, there are some other sites of the same kind.I need to use an 'action' that will go searching my site and then the other sites (of my choise) for the same key word.I was thinking of something like comma separated site names.
A form cannot have multiple urls as action. And how do you imagine your idea of action "searching your site and other sites" to work? When you submit a form to a url then the browser is redirected to this url and the action results (search results) are displayed at this url. Redirecting to multiple urls doesn't make sense since a single browser window can open only 1 url. You need to tell us more how you imagine this to work. Multiple iframes? Multiple windows? Single page with results from all searches?
Single page with results from all searches. Something to Google search by only on specific sites
Then I don't think there is any other way than what 2ndmouse said above. Submit the form to a php script and have the script load the search results from the other sites (for example using curl) and combine them into a single html page. This may or may not be easy depending on how the result pages are structured, how different they are and most probably this will require some html parsing.
Thank you so much for you tips. I will have to start digging into what 2ndmouse said(thank him too).
Off topic: My wife is Polish.
Doable with JS, but that can be turned off.
Each of your target sites might require different q= variables though ...
Compiling search results from multiple pages can take a long time but it can work well for 2 or 3 sites...
Polish women are pretty :)[/ot]

New interim executive director named for state brand committee
More Ag News
A new sign now prominently points the way to North Platte's mostly hidden restaurant - the Pink Poodle.
Owners Ken and Connie Bible spent decades collecting items for their café. Photos of stars such as Annette Funicello, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Bob Marley, James Dean, Humphrey Bogart, Ricky Nelson, Cheech and Chong, Jimmy Hendrix and the Beatles hang on the walls.
Soon after the little café opened in August 2011, a bitter parking lot dispute with Attorney Allen Fugate came to life. Fugate owns the adjoining lot, as well as a building on the north side of the Bible's building.
Their spirited dispute first erupted some seven years ago, but the seeds were sown in the early part of the last century, when for some reason the title to the lot was separated from the building next to it and the adjoining properties came under separate ownership.
The Bibles have owned their building for nearly 20 years. Six years or so ago, Fugate bought the adjoining building, which came with the parking lot.
Fugate and the Bibles have been unable to agree to share the parking lot. For awhile after Fugate bought the adjoining building, the Bibles rented 5 parking spaces from him in the lot, but that agreement fell apart over a dispute that escalated from a pop machine near the entrance of the Bibles bigger store Midwest Screen Printing. The pop machine was technically on Fugates property.
Their dispute ended up in court in 2006, after Fugate parked a trailer on his parking lot so close to one of Bible's doorways that the doors could not be used. The Bible's built another doorway and filed suit, asking the court to rectify Fugates actions, which they called unreasonable, arbitrary and done in bad faith.
In 2009, Fugate called the cops when Ken Bible suspended a ladder from the roof of his building so he could repair a sign on his building, without setting foot in the parking lot.
Fugate said Bible was violating the airspace over his parking lot. The sign was never repaired and is no longer there.
The parties quietly settled the lawsuit later that year. But when the Pink Poodle opened in 2011, Fugate took steps to ensure that the Poodles customers would not use his parking lot.
First he posted signs, but customers came to the Pink Poodle anyway from North Platte and from a wider area, often parking wherever they could. A statewide magazine, Nebraska Life, featured the colorful café in a spread on the best things about North Platte. Visitors from all over the country stopped to eat.
In August 2012, Fugate hired a crew to build a concrete block wall along the edge of his lot right beside the entrance to the Pink Poodle. The wall split the front view of the café.
The Bibles pondered their options. At the time, Ken told the Bulletin he could reconfigure the entrance, but he was a little worried what Fugate might do next. He said the two of them were not speaking.
The Bibles finally decided to post a sign that can be seen from U.S. Highway 83/ Jeffers St. Ken set posts on his property, right next to the back of the wall. He said he took care not to invade any part of Fugates airspace while he was fastening the sign in place.
The sign was posted Wednesday. Business increased for the first four days. Now, motorists from out-of-state can find the café more easily.
U.S. Highway 83 brings out-of-state motorists within a half block of their no-longer-hidden retro café.

I want to insert a value into a table if it doesn't exist, and get the id (which is autoincremented) of the inserted row or the id of the existing row.
At the moment I am doing this like so:
INSERT INTO table SET col = 'value' ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE id=LAST_INSERT_ID(id)
Then I can just get the last insert id to get the id of the existing or new row ('col' has a UNIQUE constraint on it).
But the table in question is using the InnoDB storage engine, which means that it allocates the autoincrement value to the row before the INSERT operation, so if the INSERT fails, the autoincrement value has still increased. e.g. with an empty table
INSERT INTO table SET col = 'value1' ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE id=LAST_INSERT_ID(id)
would return the id of 1.If I try and insert 'value1' again 500 times, each time I would get back the id 1.Now if I try and insert a new value
INSERT INTO table SET col = 'value2' ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE id=LAST_INSERT_ID(id)
I will get back the id of 502, since InnoDB increased the auto increment value for those 500 insert operations, even though they didn't insert anything.
So I am worried about my autoincrement value getting really high really quickly.
There are a few solutions I can think of:
Can anyone advise me on this issue?
I can't help but think maybe you're overcomplicating things a little bit here. Here's my take on how to go about doing what you want to do...
INSERT IGNORE INTO table_name (col) VALUES ('value');
...and get the id (which is autoincremented) of the inserted row or the id of the existing row.I'm assuming your scripting language of choice is PHP:
$result = mysql_query("INSERT IGNORE INTO table_name (col) VALUES ('value')");
if(mysql_affected_rows($result) === 1) {
$id = mysql_insert_id();
} else {
$get_id = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM table_name WHERE col = 'value'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($get_id);
$id = $row[0]['id'];
So I am worried about my autoincrement value getting really high really quickly.How high is unacceptably high in your book? Because if the datatype of the id column is INT, this will allow for well over two billion rows. And if your table gets that large, I think you'll have other things to worry about besides an integer overflow
Just some food for thought really. Perhaps there is a more elegant solution though.
Thanks for the advice on not worrying about the id values getting too high.
However, I don't see how your advice on how to go about inserting the record is better or less complicated than what I'm doing at the moment?
You suggested:
How is that better than
mysql_query("INSERT INTO table SET col = 'value' ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE id=LAST_INSERT_ID(id)");
$id = mysql_insert_id();
Because I think in that case, mysql_insert_id wouldn't return the right result because in some cases technically you haven't inserted any rows, you'll have updated one. I may be wrong here though.
Thanks for the reply, that statement always returns the correct id because when it does an update it sets LAST_INSERT_ID() to the id of the row it is updating (i.e. the existing row).
whether you're wrong, SJH, can be verified quite quickly by testing
i ain't gonna bother, but the OP should
in any case, the two step approach you recommended (post #3) is the way i would do it
actually, i might instead reconsider the design here, and ask myself if i need an auto_increment in the first place
I have been using this method in my sites for quite a while, it definitely works. I got it from the MySQL Manual.
Any reason why you use the two step approach? It involves extra code, and up to two database calls as opposed to less code and always one database call. I haven't done any benchmarking, but assume the two step method would be slower?
Do you mean have a manual auto increment on the id column, or instead use the column I'm inserting values to as the primary key, and loose the id column altogether?
oh, then it ~must~ be okay
just make sure you use it exactly as they suggested:[indent]If a table contains an AUTO_INCREMENT column and INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE inserts a row, the LAST_INSERT_ID() function returns the AUTO_INCREMENT value. If the statement updates a row instead, LAST_INSERT_ID() is not meaningful prior to MySQL 5.1.12. However, you can work around this by using LAST_INSERT_ID(expr). Suppose that id is the AUTO_INCREMENT column. To make LAST_INSERT_ID() meaningful for updates, insert rows as follows:
INSERT INTO table (a,b,c) VALUES (1,2,3) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE id=LAST_INSERT_ID(id), c=3;[/indent]
yes, i might consider not having an auto_increment key at all
Thanks for the advice, do you know if this would effect memory usage much or query speed? (I'm mostly concerned with memory usage as I only have limited memory available on my hosting account)
I guess the size of other tables with columns referencing the table in question would increase, since they'd need to use the actual value that they were referencing as the key instead of just an integer. And I guess the index size would increase for tables that have a multi column index that includes a column that references the table in question. But I don't know if this would effect memory usage or performance?
it might
i can't comment further because all you've mentioned is a table called "table" and a column called "col"
if there are lotsa tables referencig this one, then yeah, i would probably use a surrogate key
Heh, yeah, I realise I didn't give you much to go on.
To give you a better idea of the database schema, I have one main table, which contains columns that reference values in various other tables. The majority of these 'other tables' just contain 2 columns, id (int, primary key), and value (varchar, unique).
Then I also have more tables with just 2 columns, id (int, primary key), and value (varchar, unique). Then I have lookup tables that link these tables to the main table. So, for example, my main table is called 'imageData', then I have a lookup table called 'img_keywords' like
CREATE TABLE `img_keywords` (
`img_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`keywords_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`img_id`,`keywords_id`),
KEY `fk_img_keywords_imageData` (`img_id`),
KEY `fk_img_keywords_keywords` (`keywords_id`),
CONSTRAINT `fk_img_keywords_imageData` FOREIGN KEY (`img_id`) REFERENCES `imageData` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE NO ACTION,
CONSTRAINT `fk_img_keywords_keywords` FOREIGN KEY (`keywords_id`) REFERENCES `keywords` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE NO ACTION
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci
and the keywords table like:
CREATE TABLE `keywords` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`Subject` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `UNIQUE` (`Subject`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci
So I don't have lots of tables referencing the sort of table I was asking about, but I do have lots of the sort of table that I was asking about.
I've attached an image of the schema, which probably shows the setup better than I can explain it.
thanks for the details, the schema looks really good
i would definitely use ids here, because of the many-to-many relationships
i might not use an id for keywords, but that's a special case
the other lookup tables would be necessary for relational integrity (i.e. to prevent the use of a lens type value, for example, that wasn't a legitimate lens type), so some of these might not require a numeric id
but at this point i wouldn't go back and change anything
Okay, thanks for taking the time to look at the schema, and the advice.
