The reserve safety is renting his condo for Super Bowl XLVIII week, meaning a lucky fan in town for the big game can spend the week living like an NFL player. Taylor told the New York Post that he's disappointed the Giants won't be playing in the Super Bowl, but because he'll have that time off he and his girlfriend figured it'd be a good opportunity to take a vacation. "We thought it would be the best time to get out of the city and go on vacation because that week will be a madhouse," Taylor said. "I am definitely disappointed that we are not playing in it. It would make it a lot more fun." Read the rest: http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/dish/201312/giants-rookie-renting-condo-super-bowl-week

5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Public Affairs
Fort Campbell, KY – Past and present members of the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) family gathered together here last week for its annual Reunion Week festivities.
This year marked the unit's 52nd anniversary of its activation, which originally took place September 21st, 1961, at Fort Bragg, NC. Although a time to celebrate, the "reunion" has become much more than just an annual gathering throughout the years.
The 5th SFG (A) has a storied history written by very quiet professionals, but more importantly they are a family that encompasses Veterans, past and present, families and friend of the Legion for generations past.
Col. John Brennan, commander of the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne), Mr. Steve Woods, son of Staff Sgt. Lawrence Woods, Mr. Frank Roe, and Col. Frederick Prins, deputy commander of the 5th SFG (A) join together for a picture at the Group's 52nd Reunion Picnic 21 held on Gabriel Field on Fort Campbell, Ky., Sept. 21, 2013. Approximately 49 years after Staff Sgt. Lawrence Woods, a Soldier with the 5th SFG (A) during the Vietnam War, was pronounced missing and presumed dead in Vietnam his remains were finally found just days before the Group's Reunion in Cambodia.
Nashville, TN – Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam and Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Many-Bears Grinder today announced September 20th-26th, 2013 as POW/MIA Recognition Week. Meanwhile, the United States Department of Defense announces the identification of Major Howard V. Andre, Jr. of Memphis who has been missing in action since July 8th, 1969.
Major Andre and Major James E. Sizemore of Illinois were on a night armed reconnaissance mission when their A-26A Invader aircraft crashed in Xiangkhoang Province, Laos during the Vietnam War. Both men died in the crash but their remains were unaccounted for until April 2013. The Air Force pilots will be returned to their families for burial with full military honors on September 23rd at Arlington National Cemetery. They were classified as missing in action for nearly 44 years.

Nashville, TN – Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam and First Lady Crissy Haslam joined Tennessee Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Many-Bears Grinder and Major General Terry "Max" Haston of the Tennessee Military Department to pay tribute to three Tennesseans killed in action, including a soldier previously missing in action for 62 years.
Sergeant Jacob M. Schwallie of Clarksville, was fatally injured by a roadside bomb on May 7th, 2012 in the Ghazi Province, Afghanistan. Schwallie graduated from Rossview High School in 2007 and enlisted in the United States Army in 2008.

Nashville, TN – Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam and Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Many-Bears Grinder solemnly announce the body of Private First Class Glenn Schoenmann will finally be laid to rest after 62 years.
Schoenmann was assigned to Company M, 3rd Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division in the United States Army when he was involved in the infamous Battle of Chosin Reservoir in North Korea on November 28th, 1950.

LOS CASTILLO Mexican Sterling & Wood Collar Necklace
Product Details
Los Castillo was a Mexican jewelry company formed by 4 brothers: Don Antonio, Jorge, Miguel, and Justo Castillo, in the late 1930's. All were trained in different areas of the silver business and Don Antonio Castillo was an apprentice for William Spratling's Las Delicias workshop in the early 1930's. Los Castillo is known for beautiful craftsmanship and their revival of ancient techniques.
A fantastic Vintage Mexican collar necklace by Los Castillo! From the 1950's the necklace is comprised of 32 long wooden beads, which are rectangular in shape and finished with sterling silver caps. Each wooden bead is separated by a round sterling bead and at each end of the necklace is a row of sterling beads, and the necklace fastens shut with a simple push clasp. The clasp is stamped "STERLING" along with the "Los Castillo" hallmark. The contrast between the dark wood and the sterling is beautiful, and the piece is a wonderful example of Los Castillo's work. The surface of the silver has a natural patina which adds to the richness of the piece; it could be polished if desired. It's an excellent statement piece and would make a fabulous addition to any collection!
Measurements: The necklace measures approximately 18 3/4" long. Each wooden bead measures slightly less than 1 1/2" long and 3/16" wide and thick.
Condition: The overall condition of the necklace is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the wooden or sterling beads and the clasp is secure and in good working condition.

It's me again! This time looking for mice opinions. I need to replace my Ikari Laser - the left button got slightly busted, it's double clicking automatically, and also every now and then the mouse will not work after reboot, only it's buttons do.
I am very disappointing, since this thing cost me 70 euros, and it's also THE most comfortable mouse i've ever used. It's ergonomics are so amazing that it makes me really sad to have to replace it. However, the build quality is apparently not quite on par. *sigh*
So i am now looking for replacement options. I am looking for solid, good quality mouse with a moderate number of buttons (like 2 more, except the standard 2+wheel), nothing crazy. I mostly play DOTA and FPS so precision and comfort come first. I'd like it to feel heavy in the hand and be "big", i have large hands and small mice force me to fold my palm in an uncomfortable position. (That's why i found the Ikari awesome, it's design fits perfectly my hand). Oh yeah, it MUST be a cable mouse, gaming doesn't really work with cordless mice imho.
So far i've got the Razer Imperator as a possible substitute, but i've never owned a Razer mouse so i am not sure if it's a good choice.
What do you guys think? Suggestions?

Cents and Sensibilities
It is hard to say whether men are really from Mars and women from Venus. But, at least when it comes to money matters, they seem to be worlds apart. Men are more likely to "think highly of their competence [in] money management skills than women," says psychologist Melvin Prince of Fordham University. And this translates into different investment behavior.
Indeed, economists Brad Barber and Terrance Odean at U.C. Davis found significant differences in portfolio performance between the sexes when they compared the accounts opened by men and women at a discount brokerage house between 1991 and 1997. Perhaps because they were more likely to think they knew what they were doing, men traded much more actively: The accounts opened by men showed 45 percent more trading activity than those opened by women. But all of this trading did not help their bottom line. When Barber and Odean compared each person's end-of-year portfolio to the results they would have obtained if they had left their beginning-of-year portfolio untouched, they found that, on average, men reduced their earnings by 2.7 percent through trading. Women would also have been better off if they had left their portfolios untouched. But at 1.7 percent, the difference was much smaller.
It wasn't that men were worse stock pickers than women. They were equally bad: For both genders, the stocks they bought tended to underperform the stocks they sold. But by trading more, men exercised their judgment more often. And, of course, transaction costs only made the situation worse.
Interestingly, marriage seems to bring the genders together in more ways than one. Married men behave more like women-trading less than single men. This means that, for men, marriage can potentially have a positive impact on their portfolio returns. But for women, the effect is less benign: Married women trade more than single women. Instead of listening to their husband's advice, perhaps wives should just have the last word after all.

When Nestlé acquired the Ralston Purina Group in January, analysts noted that dog and cat food sales were growing faster than sales of food for people. Indeed, the Pet Food Institute reports that sales of dog and cat food have been growing at an average annual rate of 6.5 percent since 1993, while sales of both at-home and eat-out food for humans are growing less than 2 percent per year, according to the Consumer Expenditure Survey.
Cat and dog populations are growing faster than the human population, but not quickly enough to explain the difference in spending levels. And spending is not just increasing for pet food. The entire $28.5 billion pet industry has been growing at an annual rate of 7 percent despite the past decade's decreased rate of household growth and the slower growth of families (those most likely to own pets).
"Consumers are spending more on their pets than ever before," says Bob Devine, President of Hartz Mountain Corporation, a leading pet product manufacturer. Owners are trading lower-quality brands for higher-end premium foods like Iams, Purina One, and Science Diet, and are increasingly splurging for pet treats. In addition, a quick trip to the store has provided owners with access to an elaborate array of products, including cat wedding dresses, chenille sweaters for dogs, ferret hammocks, and animal-specific shampoos. Vets now offer many of the expensive medical procedures and remedies available to humans, such as chemotherapy, EKGs, and dentistry, and pets can visit an acupuncturist or an astrologer for a consultation.
So why this newfound interest in buying premium food and high-end products and services? Increasing wealth might be part of the explanation, notes Devine. But owners also have a "greater commitment to their animals," says Alan Beck, a professor at Purdue University's School of Veterinary Medicine. The American Veterinary Medical Association reports that 85.3 percent of dog owners and 67.7 percent of cat owners took their pet to the vet in 1996, compared to 81.6 percent and 59.4 percent, respectively, in 1987. And a recent study by the American Animal Hospital Association revealed that 84 percent of pet owners refer to themselves as their pet's "parent." It's not surprising, then, that they feed their "kids" the best food around.

USF2000 - Andretti Autosport Signs Grist For 2013 Campaign
Indianapolis, Jan. 21, 2013: Andretti Autosport has signed Canadian-born driver, Garett Grist to pilot the No. 7 DaVinci Foods entry for the 2013 season of Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda.
"I am very excited about the opportunity to join Andretti Autosport," said Grist. "They are an amazing team and field winning cars which is important for a rookie in the series. I am also excited to bring DaVinci Foods on board and look forward to working with Andretti Autosport to develop their Mazda Road to Indy Program."Grist, a 17-year-old from Grimsby, Ontario, spent 10 years racing karts, before moving onto Formula Ford in Ontario and Quebec, where he set a new track record at Canadian Motorsports Park. The Derek Daly Academy driver spent 2012 competing in the F1600 Formula F Series, where he finished fourth in the championship with three top-three and seven top-10 finishes despite missing the final round of the season at Watkins Glen due to the age restriction.
With the addition of Grist's USF2000 entry to Andretti Autosport's full-time stable of three IZOD IndyCar Series entries (Ryan Hunter-Reay, James Hinchcliffe, Marco Andretti), two Firestone Indy Lights entries (Carlos Munoz, Zach Veach) and two Pro Mazda Championship entries (Shelby Blackstock, Matthew Brabham) team owner Michael Andretti will again claim credit to having the only team competing in every step of the Mazda Road to Indy ladder.
"We are proud to say we will again be competing at every level of the development program and are happy to welcome Garett (Grist) to the team," said Andretti's Chief Operating Officer JF Thormann. "He will be a great addition to our Mazda Road to Indy program and we look forward to watching his career grow."
In addition to working his way up the racing ladder, Grist was also the 2012 Team Canada Racing Scholarship winner, chosen following an extensive evaluation process by the 2012 selection committee. This honor allowed him to travel to the famous Brands Hatch Circuit (England) this past October to go head-to-head with the best F1600 racers in the world.
In November, Grist competed in the Walter Hayes Trophy event at the Silverstone Circuit (England) to compete against some of the most successful Formula Ford racers. He finished eighth out of 115 entrants, after earning his quickest time of the day on the last lap.
Outside of the track, Grist devotes much of his racing effort supporting SickKids Hospital in Toronto. Each year he allows the hospital's patients to submit helmet drawings, he then chooses one drawing to be worn during a race. The helmet featuring the winning design is then auctioned off to support the hospital's initiatives.

This is probably a FAQ but I can't find it. When I have DrScheme's language set to HTDP Advanced Student the interactions pane is painfully slow. It takes almost 8 seconds for the prompt to reappear after I hit enter at the prompt. This does not happen if I have the language set to R5RS. I don't recall it being this slow in previous versions of DrScheme. I've played with various preferences but to no avail. Any thoughts?

Mitt Romney said Tuesday he has no plans to push for legislation limiting abortion, a softer stance from a candidate who has said he would "get rid of" funding for Planned Parenthood and appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade.
"There's no legislation with regards to abortion that I'm familiar with that would become part of my agenda," the Republican presidential nominee told The Des Moines Register in an interview.
The Romney campaign walked back the remark within two hours of the Register posting its story. Spokeswoman Andrea Saul told the National Review Online's Katrina Trinko that Romney "would of course support legislation aimed at providing greater protections for life."
His statement could put him at odds with congressional Republicans who have made limiting abortion central to their messages. His own running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), has introduced bills to restrict access to abortion. And the Republican Party platform toughened its anti-abortion stance earlier this year.
Both Romney and Ryan oppose abortion, but the presidential candidate supports exemptions while his running mate does not. Romney told the Register he will restrict abortion in one way, through an executive order banning U.S. foreign aid money to be used for abortions.

The Animal Rescue League of Iowa (ARL) is Iowa's largest nonprofit animal shelter, caring for many thousands of pets each year. The ARL serves people and pets from across the state of Iowa through its programs, which include pet adoption, humane education, pet behavior training, spay/neuter, animal cruelty intervention and much more.
The ARL has grown dramatically since its founding in 1926 — expanding its programs that serve both people and homeless animals across Iowa. Through our proactive community outreach and spay/neuter programs, in the past few years we have begun to see a decrease in the number of animals we care for, but our work is far from over.
Other areas of growth include the ARL's programs designed specifically to address the reasons animals end up in shelters, including spay/neuter, behavior training, and humane education programs. The ARL's positive reinforcement training program has expanded to offer year-round classes, as well as free behavior advice for dogs, cats, rabbits and other pets. The shelter continues to spay and neuter all dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets and pigs that are adopted from our shelter.
In addition to the animals that come through the ARL's doors, the ARL also serves the people of Iowa through its many services.
To promote animal welfare, strengthen the human-animal bond, and prevent the overpopulation of pets.

'Dance Moms' star Miller brings the tough love
If ever there were a poster child for tough love, Abby Lee Miller would be it. As the much-feared taskmaster-in-residence featured on Lifetime's reality series, "Dance Moms," the infamous instructor quickly gained love-her-or-hate-her status when audiences were introduced to her no-holds-barred approach to cultivating a class of national title-winning dance students while employing psychological warfare against their mothers to maintain order. And make no mistake about it, there's some serious mama drama going on in these parts.
Striking a local chord, most of the filming takes place in the Pittsburgh-based Abby Lee Dance Company, with the cameras rolling during in-house practices and on the road for various competitions. Never a dull moment, the cat claws come out with little provocation as the Dance Moms fight to scratch their daughters' way to the top while routinely going head to head with Miller and her iron-clad regime.
Everyone gets a blue ribbon? Not in Abby Lee Miller's world; there are winners and there are losers. According to her, "You're only as good as your last dance." Don't like it? Too bad, see ya, goodbye. Just don't let the door hit you on your way out.
"Dance Moms" airs at 9 p.m. Tuesdays on Lifetime.
Question: Your philosophy is the antithesis of the "everyone is a winner" mentality embraced in today's society. Why is that so hard for parents to contend with?
Answer: I think parents usually want their child's life to be better than the life they had. So, if my kid can't win or can't make the team, I'm going to make it happen for them. I'm going to buy it; I'm going to see what favors I can do for that coach to see what I can do for them. Hey, I don't care if the people have two kids, three kids, four kids — they all have an iPhone and an iPad. They still get it all whether they are one kid or one of five kids. It's keeping up with the Joneses. Where years ago, if you were whining to your parents about something your friends had, they'd tell you to go over there to play with it. Now, it's "Oh, really? If they have it, I want it, too." It's not the same anymore.
Q: Looking beyond the dancing, do you feel as though you're better preparing the students for when they get out into the real world?
A: Yes. The life lessons that my students learn are used on a daily basis. I just had a girl call me last night from Tokyo. She grew up with very little means and got her first professional dance job in Tokyo. She has more money in the bank right now than probably what both of her parents have ever made. So eating in a four-star restaurant, working with professionals, getting on and off the elevator — all those things were learned in the dance studio, going on competitions. Kids learn a whole lot more than just the choreography of going through a routine.
Q: At what point is the line crossed between being a supportive parent and living vicariously through your child?
A: Well, I think every time a mother says "we" to me, I cringe. "Well, 'we' don't like the costume, and 'we' don't like the choreography." Who is we? You had your chance! Everybody had their chance. So when you're 40 and your kid's dancing, it's not about what you need and you like, it's about what's best for them. So try to jump out of it and look at it afar and put it all in perspective.
Q: So, at the end of the day, is the tough love you're giving directed more at the mothers or the students or a little of both?
A: There's no love at all between me and the mothers. Don't even go there! The tough love is directed at the children because their mothers do not. Ultimately, the kid is going to be on their own ,and the best thing you can do as a parent is to raise your kid to be independent and make sure they make the right choices. Sometimes, they make the wrong choices, and they will fall down, but you give them the integrity to stand up again.
Q: After more than three decades teaching dance and dealing with high emotions, do you feel you've earned an honorary degree in psychology?
A: I have! Could I talk to any of the universities about that? You can't even know what I've dealt with on the phone, through email and text messages with moms in my studio that aren't even on the show. ... They're all crazy!
Q: When your students look back on their experience with you, what is the one thing you hope resonates?
A: That what I did for them and their experiences with me, whether they love me or hate me, mattered in their life. That it was important that they learned all those lessons. I have to believe that every time one of my students steps out onstage, or does an interview, that they hear my voice in their head. They hear me telling them something. Even if they are just saying, "What would Abby do in this situation?"
Q: When you hear that, is that the greatest compliment?
A: Yeah! No, actually, when they go to an audition and someone says, "You must be one of Abby's kids." Just from their sheer talent alone. That's the greatest compliment.

Go Ryne! Great rookie race, she's doing SPK proud. Aliy is impressive too of course - that goes without saying. Still cheering loudly for the Red Team. Hope you get to Nome on time Kaz, safe travels.
- March 12, 2012 at 6:19 AM
Just because Joe Runyan is now mentioning Aliy's name more doesn't change how he dotes on Dallas & the rest of the men. It's still hard to read his love affairs with the male mushers. Where's more Bruce Lee?
Iditarod's got do something about this next year. Aliy was voted by her peers to represent the mushers on Iditarod board. This ancient champ is out of the loop...
Sorry for venting here SP, but I want praise where praise is due.
What's a little frostbite?:) Go get it Aliy, bath'll be waiting for you sooner you get home in Nome! SP Kennel just keeps going above & beyond. Thanx
- March 12, 2012 at 6:32 AM
Kaz, sure hope you don't miss seeing the finish! You've worked so hard behind the scenes!!
All my thoughts, prayers, good wishes are with Aliy and Ryne and the SP Kennel team! What a great year! This has been an amazing race to watch!!

I'll make it! Though I spent from 2 to 4 am calculating run times. Not a good time to do that!!!
No worries Marla. Totally understand! But don't tell my mom about the frostbite.
- March 12, 2012 at 7:18 AM
That team photo is awesome! Might be time for a new "header" photo for the site!
- March 12, 2012 at 7:35 AM
Marla ... well said. We can all let the folks know we didn't know enough about our musher because we were hearing about the authors favs.
kaz ... safe travels ... and if you think of it at the finish line give everyone a hug from us. Lordy, so I wish I was there to greet you all.
Warmest of wishes for safe travels and God's continued blessings.

Talking strategies with Randy Chappel? I met Randy the day before the Ceremonial Start when he brought his gear & Legacy, his last Iditarod dog, to speak at my school. He was fantastic!! And I loved the Cha-cha backstory!

Beautiful dogs, beautiful team, beautiful work. You ALL deserve kudos. Great Job !

20 Prince Albums You Still Can't Get on iTunes
See also: Legendary Musician Prince Dies at Age 57 at Minnesota Home
Prince (First Show) - Marquee Theatre - 4/30/2013
Three years ago, Prince's relationship status with the Internet could best be described as "It's complicated."
"The Internet's completely over," he told The Daily Mirror, the UK newspaper which give away copies of his 20Ten album. (No, I haven't heard it, either.) "I don't see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won't pay me an advance for it, and then they get angry when they can't get it."
In 20Thirteen, though, it's like nothing ever happened: You can buy "Screwdriver," his new single, right now. Even so, his star-crossed affairs with the Internet — not to mention plenty of record companies — have resulted in large chunks of his discography still being unavailable for digital download, some of them among his very best work. 4 Shame on U, Purple 1!
Prince is playing the Marquee Theatre in Tempe on Tuesday and Wednesday.
1. For You (1978)
Prince's debut album, the one that gave us "Soft and Wet," has been left high and dry out of the iTunes catalog. Maybe Prince doesn't like his puffed-out fro on the cover; maybe this second-rate Sylvester impersonation played better when everyone thought he was a 19-year-old wunderkind instead of a 21-year-old shaving years off his official bio.
Whatever the reason, the only Prince album worth owning for purely historical reasons isn't worth owning — or possible to own — digitally.
2. Love Symbol Album (1994)
The album where he changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol. If you buy just one Prince album in which he converses with Kirstie Alley between songs, make it this one.
3. The Black Album (1994)
Withdrawn from release in 1988 and replaced withLovesexy
only to become one of the most bootlegged albums of all time, Prince'sBlack Album
saw a quiet official release in 1994 but remains unavailable digitally.
Maybe Spinal Tap saw the all-black cover and issued a cease-and-desist.
4. The Gold Experience (1995)
A concept album and cut-for-cut probably Prince's strongest sinceSign "O" the Times
. Here's where his relationship with Warner Brothers went south, as evidenced by tracks like "Eye Hate U."
Curiously, Come, a 1994 collection of tracks recorded at the same time as The Gold Experience that Prince himself disowned at release, is available on iTunes.
5. Chaos and Disorder (1996)
The contract-fulfillment album that was his obligatory "see ya" to Warner Brothers. Universally accepted as a bad idea.

3TFO: Giants @ Chargers, Week 14
One of the Week 14 matchups this week, will feature two (5-7) teams in the New York Giants and the San Diego Chargers. The Giants come to Qualcomm Stadium as winners of five of their last six games. They trail the Cowboys and Eagles by two games each. With only one division game left, the Giants are holding on to very slim playoff hopes. An overall look at the Giants gives us a very up and down picture. The Giants have had a great run defense all year as they rank 5th in our cumulative rankings. Yet the Giants pass rush (once the strength of the team) is ranked toward the bottom of the league. The Giants' offense has been given a boost by the return on Andre Brown. His 81 carries for 343 yards gives the offense the threat of a running game. This helps a struggling offensive line which has failed to protect Eli Manning all year.
The Chargers come into this game only a game behind the Baltimore Ravens for the last playoff spot in the AFC. They finish the season with games at the Broncos and with the Raiders and Chiefs at home. A win here at home could at least give them some momentum. San Diego's offense has carried them all season. In our cumulative team grades they rank 8th overall and 1st in pass offense. The Chargers problems are straight forward. They have a terrible defense. The Charger defense is ranked 31st in our rankings including 32nd in pass coverage. The only consistently solid performer has been Eric Weddle whose +6.1 overall grade ranks in the top ten out of all safeties. Players like Donald Butler and Kendall Reyes who both flashed potential last year, now rank toward the bottom of all players at their positions. The San Diego corners are even more of a problem and lead to our first matchup.
Giants' Receivers vs. Chargers Corners
Leading the way for the Giants' receivers is Victor Cruz, who leads the Giants with 66 receptions for 931 yards. Cruz has been targeted 62 times in the slot, second only to Wes Welker's 81 targets. Hakeem Nicks has had a disappointing season for his standards. He has dropped 6 passes and has still yet to catch a touchdown. Rueben Randle has been Eli's big play receiver with 35 catches for over 500 yards, and a team leading 6 TDs. Other than Victor Cruz, none of the names really strike fear into you, but after looking at some of the San Diego corners they might.
There are four corners that have seen major time on the field for the Chargers in Shareece Wright, Derek Cox, Johnny Patrick, and Richard Marshall. None of these four cracks our top 90 graded cornerbacks. Shareece Wright currently has the worst PFF coverage grade at -16.3. When targeting these cornerbacks QBs have ten touchdown passes, almost a 70% completion percentage, and a rating over 110. The San Diego secondary will need a big game to slow down Victor Cruz and Co.
Antonio Gates and Danny Woodhead vs. NY Giants Secondary
This game has the look of a potential shootout. As much as the Chargers could struggle with the Giants' receivers, the Giants could struggle just as much the other way around. Leading the way for the Chargers' receivers are Antonio Gates and Danny Woodhead. Gates is still making a positive impact in the passing game. Despite only having 3 touchdowns, he leads the chargers with 64 catches. Right behind him is Woodhead with a running back leading 61 catches and five touchdowns. When Philip Rivers is not finding impact rookie Keenan Allen or Eddie Royal down the field, he will have no problem checking down to these two all day.
Matching up with Gates and Woodhead will be the Giants safeties. Will Hill leads the Giants' secondary with his +9.3 overall grade. The undrafted free agent from Florida has been a bright spot for the Giants. Ryan Mundy and Antrel Rolle have each made a positive impact as well. Jacquian Williams is another player that could see some time in coverage against Gates or Woodhead. Williams is a hybrid type of player as he has a safety body type but plays outside linebacker. Williams' +6.2 pass coverage grade puts him in the top ten out of all 4-3 outside linebackers. The Giants have some young talent in the middle of their secondary and Sunday the Chargers veterans will put them to the test.
Chargers Tackles vs. Giants Defensive Ends in the run game
The Chargers have had to shuffle around the offensive line in the last few weeks. The injury to King Dunlap forced them to move rookie right tackle DJ Fluker to left tackle and play Jerome Clary at right tackle. Dunlap is said to be practicing this week, but it is unclear if he starts and what changes that will bring to the offensive line. King Dunlap has been the most dominant run blocking tackle this year when healthy. His +9.1 run blocking grade is 4th overall despite him having half the snaps of the tackles ahead of him. If Dunlap starts, that will move Fluker back to right tackle. Fluker was starting to really own the right tackle position until all of these injuries hit. If Dunlap can't play Sunday, then DJ Fluker gets the nod at left tackle and taking DJ Fluker's spot on the right side will be Jerome Clary. The Chargers have been getting respectable play out of the tackles despite the injuries, but this could be a tough matchup for them.
As the Chargers have had to shuffle things around the Giants have an injury of their own to worry about. Jason Pierre-Paul has been banged up and might not make much of an impact or even play at all this week. Paul and Justin Tuck (when healthy) have been dominant against the run this year. Their +21.2 combined run grade only falls behind Cincinnati's Carlos Dunlap and Michael Johnson for the best 4-3 end combo. They both also rank in the top ten in our run stop percentage rating. If Pierre-Paul is not able to play, the drop off will be steep. Mathias Kiwanuka (the likely replacement) is ranked 49th out of 50 defensive ends. He has generated little quarterback pressure and has struggled against the run. His -6.4 run grade is a far cry from Pierre-Paul and Tuck. It would be great to see everyone in this match-up healthy. Fluker vs. Tuck and King vs. Pierre-Paul would be some great football. We can only wait and see.

Cambodia may be a small country, but it is a country with big history. During the Khmer era this place was grandiose and even now, as temples and shrines lay in a state of disarray and the country grows and flourishes beyond its history, the kingdom's old-fashioned charm and sleepy little towns will draw you in; the warmth and hospitality of its people will make you feel instantly at home.
Much like the rest of Southeast Asia, Cambodia's weather is dominated by monsoons, giving it two distinct seasons: wet and dry. The rainy season usually lasts from mid-May to mid-September while the dry season usually runs from early November to March. Depending on when you plan to visit, you can figure out what kind of extra gear will be needed for your holiday.
With all the historical architecture that Cambodia has open to the public, you will undoubtedly be walking a ton and you won't want to rely on local stores to have what you need when you arrive. Think ahead and pack a lightweight backpack so you can bring your own snacks and toiletries with you. That way, no matter what time of day or night it is, you have what you need with you.
During the wet season, all bets are off. One second you will be basking in sunlight and the next you will be drenched from a torrential downpour. Instead of holing up in your hotel for your whole holiday, pack a raincoat or poncho. They are easy to pack and easy to have on hand so you are always prepared for rain.
During the dry season, you will want a pair of sandals to beat the heat. Make sure they are broken in and comfortable since you will be doing a ton of walking and no one wants to deal with blisters. Beyond sandals, you will need a pair of closed-toe shoes for entering temples. When visiting temples also be sure your knees and shoulders are covered out of respect.
Just before the start of the rainy season, temperatures can soar up to temperatures around 38 degrees. Don't forget to pack a good sun hat to protect your eyes and face from the bright rays.
Finding your regular toiletries in Cambodia is tough to do, particularly if you are used to more luxurious brands. Pack enough toiletries for your entire trip plus some extra since you can't rely on local stores to carry what you need.
Mosquitos & Malaria are a fairly large problem in this country. To ward off the pesky bugs, carry a few travel sizes of each so you can throw one in your backpack and quickly reapply during the day.
Staying hygienic in this area is key for preventing sickness, so you may find that it's a good idea to carry a travel pack of hand wipes. You may also want to include some stomach medication seeing as stomach problems are the most common problem travellers encounter in Cambodia.
Beyond the essentials, you may need a few tech-friendly additions to make sure you capture the memories of your trip. There are a few tools/accessories that you don't want to forget when you are headed to Cambodia.
You may think that your brand new extra-large memory card is enough for all of the pictures you want to take, but once you get to Cambodia and see its natural beauty first-hand, you'll wish you had packed an extra or two. With all of the temples and scenic views, it is likely that you'll fill up the first card pretty fast, so the extra memory card will be a total lifesaver.
Many of the large temples can be quite dark and will not have lighting, so bringing along a small flashlight to carry in your backpack can help you navigate the darker ruins so you don't potentially trip or hurt yourself.
English is not common among older Cambodians and although younger Cambodians learn English in school, they may not be fluent or even proficient. If you come prepared with a phrasebook and at least attempt the language, you will charm any Cambodian that you come across. You may want to start practicing ahead of time though, as the official language, Khmer, is very difficult for those not accustomed.
When visiting Cambodia, it's important to do a bit of planning and research before your passport gets stamped. You'll want to know what time of year you are visiting and where you might be going, as this will influence what you will need to pack for your trip. Regardless of when you go, always pack travel insurance for an added layer of protection as you travel the world.

Winona injury delays shoplifting case
Hollywood actress Winona Ryder has successfully pleaded for her court hearing on shoplifting charges to be delayed for a fifth time.
Her lawyer told Judge Elden Fox that Ms Ryder could not go on with Monday's hearing, after her right elbow was struck by camera equipment in a media melee outside the court building.
She was nursing her right arm, although television shots of the incident showed her holding her left elbow immediately after the incident.
Lawyer Mark Geragos had initially arrived without his client for the hearing which will determine whether the case is substantial enough to be sent for jury trial.
He told Judge Fox that he was seeking a further postponement, despite the fact that the judge had earlier made clear he would tolerate no more delays in the six-month case.
"I want your client here, so call her," Judge Fox told Mr Geragos.
The 30-year-old actress arrived an hour later, wearing a cream coat, making no comment to waiting reporters.
In the subsequent crush, she was hit on the arm by a camera, and a court official was injured in the head.
Earlier, the court heard testimony from a security guard at the Beverly Hills department store from which Ms Ryder is alleged to have stolen $4,800 (£3,300) of clothing.
She was arrested in December 2000, but she categorically denies charges, including theft, burglary and vandalism, which carry a maximum jail sentence of more than three-and-a-half years.
Kenneth Evans, a security manager for Saks department store, told the court he had seen Ms Ryder walking around the store picking up items of clothing.
He said she spent time in a changing room and emerged "no longer plainly in possession of items".
Mr Evans also noticed that Ms Ryder had put a black hat she had picked up in her bag.
"I was able to see she still had the black hat," he said. "It was no longer on her head but was in her bag on top of her red Saks Fifth Avenue shopping bag."
She left the store after walking past several cash registers, he added.
Her lawyer has said Ms Ryder was only carrying items between store departments and had a prescription for the drugs.
He said at the time of her arrest that there had been "a misunderstanding".
Police have also said Ms Ryder was in possession of the painkiller oxycodone - a morphine derivative - without a prescription.
She was recently seen shrugging off the troubles and making bawdy jokes on stage at the MTV Movie Awards on Saturday.
The actress, who earned Oscar nominations for playing the heroines in the period films Little Women and The Age of Innocence, has been free on $20,000 (£13,700) bail.
She is also known for her roles as a troubled teenager in Girl, Interrupted and starring opposite future boyfriend Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands.
A hearing in May was delayed because her lawyer was busy with a murder case.
The actress appeared on the cover of the June issue of W magazine wearing one of the Free Winona T-shirts that have become a cult phenomenon.

NBC's reality series Fashion Star is scheduled to tape today at Hollywood Center Studios. But I've learned the shoot has been suspended after the crew of the show went on strike this morning seeking union representation. The action was organized by IATSE, which estimates that there are more than 50 crew members currently on the sidewalk protesting. (UPDATE: Eyewitnesses report of only a handful of picketers.) A taping with audience, slated for 1:30 PM, has been scrapped. Fashion Star is produced by Ben Silverman's Electus, 5X5 Media and Magical Elves Prods. It features Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie and John Varvatos as judges and Louise Roe as new host, replacing creator/executive producer Elle Macpherson. IATSE has been active organizing reality series through strike actions, including similar recent protests against Spike TV's 1000 Ways To Die and Face Off and TNT's The Great Escape. One of the highest-profile IATSE-organzied strikes was against another NBC reality series, The Biggest Loser, in 2010.
Production On 'Fashion Star' Shut Down As Crew Strikes Seeking Union Representation
54 Comments
Happened to drive by… Saw three picketers.
Last year Magical Elves had a halloween costume contest and the prize went to a someone dressed as a union striker. Treating other people's time like its valuable, respecting the people who do the hard work, making conditions fair, and paying real rates-it that funny? You thought it was funny last October when you picked the costume winner at your halloween party. Is it still funny Jane?
Hey Karma – the costume winner was Black Swan & it was "magical." And if you're a real protestor, quit trolling and go out there on the lines.
Not true easy cowboy the striker costume won a big screen tv. Don't make me publish his name and company wide email announcing him as the winner of the tv or the photos circulated, k?
I was on the lot today and saw a pretty huge group protesting.
600, 800, 728, 80, 33, 44, and teamsters. Hope the editors guild gets in there to flip the post.
Its long overdue. They run it like a sweatshop.
And hey editors guild- get to it!
Way to go Electus ….
What's wrong with these reality/alt shows production companies … first 3ball now Electus and Magical Elves, it's kind of disgraceful these small companies are treating its employees so poorly.
I don't know why you assume they were treated poorly before the show went union… I worked on a show this year that went union in the middle and you know what the net effect was? Nearly nothing. Rate was the same, hours the same. I put more hours towards the union health care so that was nice, but the benefit of unionization was marginal at best.
For AEs the benefit is HUGE. They get way more money for all the OT they work. Even editors get a shot at OT. And also you get holiday and vacation pay. And as you mentioned HEALTHCARE, and one of the best plans in the industry. Union benes are hardly marginal. They are great.
OT for AEs, Editors and every other hourly crew member is State law. You don't need a union for that.
Get your facts straight before you call someone out like that.
I really wish these production companies would grow a pair and fire these employees (w/no unemployment benefits b/c they chose to walk off the job). The employees chose to accept a non-union job. Now they are demanding that their employer go union. It's ridiculous. The companies should also sue the unions for interfering with their business. Everyone is an adult and made the adult decision to work under conditions established by their employer. If they don't like those conditions, they should find another job.
No clearly you don't get it. Before you post nonsense, please do some homework. Let's introduce you to the NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT of 1935 which gives workers the right to form unions and strike for better conditions and benefits like Healthcare. It's the law, and it's American traditions, and it's how the middle class gets ahead. UNIONS!
Well said. I also wonder how many union employees are on this blog as part of their job. I know one girl who was a camera operator who went full time union rep (probably because she was no good) Now all she does all day is try to convert everyone. Its such bull. everyone should go do a job they are proud of. Unions had their place in history….time has passed by most all of them.
Most of you are ignorant to what goes on. First, I agree that everyone deserves to be treated properly, and in most cases the company can absolutely afford to have a show go union. However, in many cases, the show is a fringe show and can't afford to pay union rates and benefits. Furthermore, on most shows, I would never go Teamster. Why am I going to pay for an "expert" at driving a van – the same thing that a 16 year old can do once they get their license…
And, if you don't like the working conditions, then quit. No one is forcing you to take a job. But, once you take the job, stop bitching and moaning and just do the job. And don't complain that there are no jobs in LA. YOU ARE CAUSING THE SHOWS TO LEAVE BECAUSE YOU ARE TRYING TO FORCE PEOPLE TO SPEND MORE MONEY THAN THE SHOW CAN AFFORD.
Also, if you think you as a forklift operator or you as a electrician or you as a camera operator are responsible for MAKING the show, you are half right. I don't see any of you in the office at 2am trying to figure the creative out, and I don't see you offering to help out another department for a few minutes. All you do is bitch and moan and say "I can't help move that table that will take 2 seconds, it's not my department." You would rather watch someone do something and critique how they did it wrong versus getting off you butt and helping. Another thing, a 5 minute bathroom break is 5 minutes, not 20 minutes. You bitch that you are not receiving fair pay, but you are the first one at the craft service table eating a bagel AND A donut, the first in the catered lunch line and the first one BACK AT THE CRAFT SERVICE TABLE 30 MINUTES AFTER LUNCH!!! Go work at GM and see if they feed you you all day long.
I've been working around all of you for many, many years. Overall, you are treated very well. Again, if you are not, then quit. No one if forcing you to do it. Go out into the real world. Don't forget to bring your own snacks. And you better be on time. The real world isn't as forgiving when you are 10-15 minutes late. Make sure you also actually do some work versus spending all day bitching about the show on Facebook.
Idiotic post. Get a clue. Unions help everyone.
Tell that to the US auto makers. Unions are great when they are needed. Terrible when left unchecked.
I wanna put you in a 15-pass driven by a 16 year old (even though that would never happen)… who's just come to the end of a 16-hour day and then put you on a little windy road in Malibu Canyon at 2AM. Then you'll wish you had a Teamster driving it.
Been there. Done that.
Teamsters have no more skill at driving than any normal person. Usually less since their senses are dulled from a day of doing absolutely nothing. Last movie I produced, the best driver was a PA, not a teamster. Teamsters are ridiculously overpaid for their "skill" set.
Local 700 was there.
could not agree more, idon'tgetit…and they wonder why LA loses so many productions. if the people feel thy are being treated unfairly, or unhappy on the show, don't book the gig. i am sure the union has a ton of jobs for you!
No, the union does not have "tons of jobs" for us but rather WE MAKE UNION JOBS from non-union ones by STRIKING. It's a Hollywood tradition…! See my response to I Don't Get It above.
idon'tgetit, you're goddamn right you don't get it. True, People accept their deal, however productions companies push employees past their agreed work day and refuse to pay overtime. Have you ever worked 16 hours because you had a cut to get out, or deadline to be met but you stopped getting paid after 10 hours due to a flat weekly rate? Free pizza at 11am doesn't make it okay. Theres nothing wrong with asking for better work conditions, which was what the unions provide.
Don't like the job. Don't like the working conditions. Don't like the pay. Don't work there. The end.
P.S. Production companies make so much money – blah, blah, blah. Here's a thought, start your own production company.
no, it's not the end. employees have every right to strike.
Yes…they have a right to strike and then I guess they also have the right to harass everyone involved with a production. That seems fair. Everyone is replaceable…..remember that.
Well said about the Free Pizza. Magical Elves keeps providing pizza and beer as a way to hypnotize their post staff from realizing that they are getting only a day rate, and NO OVERTIME, NO HEALTHCARE BENEFITS, nothing…. The Pizza must be really good because I wonder why the editors at Elves don't just walk for a contract instead of putting up with the BS.
then don't work for them. deliver the pizzas they are providing to their employees instead. entitled much?
Obviously you dont get it. Most of these reality shows spemd more money and bring in more ad revenue than most of the scripted shows, so why shouldnt the crew, who most probably already are union, not be able to collect benefits. All of these shows should be union from day one. This is fallout from runaway production.
I've seen the budgets (including this show). There's no money for union. Know what you're talking about before making general statements like that.
Yeah. Poor Ben Silverman's turning his couch upside down to find enough spare change to take Fashion Star through post.
He didn't say there was extra money in the budget. He said the budget should be bigger, because the show is probably quite profitable. If you're only looking at the production budget you won't see that. After the (too-low) production budget is spent, and they sell the show, there's extra money called profit. That money should go into a bigger budget to pay for union. Then everybody wins: Union = fair wages + higher quality shows. Go union.
You clearly don't know how TV works. Fair wages does not equal higher quality shows. You fucking idiot. Also, Ben Silverman doesn't finance the shows. No producer in his/her right mind would ever put up money. Does anyone here actually know the business? Or do they just troll all day because they can't get their foot in the door?
While reality accounts for a large percentage of the television landscape, almost if not overtaking scripted. Why should those people who work for these alternative shows not be warranted the same benefits, pension and welfare that scripted workers receive? I'm certain if a scripted crew member was working a 16 hour day after the agreed "flat rate" and didn't get OT OR his/her bene's a show stoppage wouldn't be surprising. Abuse is rampant in the "reality landscape" and I applaud the efforts of those seeking to have their industry treat them fairly. Take a poll of scripted and reality people! Ask them about their retirement plan, their health plan etc. I'm certain there is a gross difference between the two. If you're in the reality world, unless you are Burnett, Fleiss, Salsano, Beers, Piligian, Cutforth, Lipsitz etc. and you're facing retirement in the current landscape you might want to learn the phrase "do you want fries with that?" It's time to start taking care of the talent pool that makes this programming possible.
Oh please, if you didn't have union representation, the production crews would be filled with more interns and film students and other inexperienced people who couldn't handle the daily grind of physical production.TV makes a LOT of money for the networks. So much they are willing to blow millions of dollars on a pilot or half season of episodes because know that they'll recoup those losses and much more with even a moderately successful series. If Warners wasn't making billions on Two and a Half men, they wouldn't of made a 100 million dollar deal with Sheen.
They are notorious for working producers 7 days a week and very long days. 20hr days are not unusual. Their rep is terrible with producers about rate and hours. I talked to crew who said the show has been a train wreck this season and run horribly by people who don't know what they are doing so they got fed up. The crew will get benefits and in many cases make a much higher wage and then they can move on to other shows with a lesson learned. I feel bad for fellow producers who won't get anything out of a flip though. Maybe with the strike some will leave. I don't think elves will ever change how they treat producers. Lets be real that financial penalties are the only thing that makes companies pretend to care so the crew and editorial will make out great and the producers and production will be the same old sweatshop. Use your down days to look for other shows. Life is too short.
This show sucks and why this even got renewed is also something to ponder…a network which was once ruined by this turd Silverman during his reign of terror over there and NBC continues to do business with him? I mean…really???!!
Its easy to take that position, however things aren't that black and white. These reality shows are made on the cheap for big money. In the real world, as you like to say, most people turning out a product that generated that much income get healthcare. They get OT.
Unfortunately one side affect is that you may not be able to get a truck driver to move a crafty table, but you k ow what? Why don't you do it? It's probably not your job, but neither is it the truck driver's. If the production doesn't have the capacity to move a table by properly staffing to account for the MANY MANY tasks and save a few bucks by doing so, why should they assume someone else will pick up the slack while they sit pretty on their under budget spreadsheet? Who's not doing their job in this case? Stop passing the buck. No one works for free. Staff appropriately.
I agree, it's a bit unfair how reality producers are treated in this situation. They gain little by these shows going union. Unfortunately that is the nature of the beast if they want to break that ceiling to become real EPs or showrunners. Currently they are under-appreciated and underpaid. They do have a nice "producer" title though and people outside the business have no idea the huge difference in pay and stature between scripted TV, film and reality "producers".
Its not in the budget because it wasn't allocated for union wages and benefits in the first place. Do you think all productions have a couPle hundred K just sitting around and not allocated for SOMETHING related to the project? A production company comes up with a projected budget to the Network or whoever is backing the project based on what they plan to spend. If they plan not to be union the budget is lower than if they planned to be union or they plan to spend that money on something else. Your argument ignores all aspects of how budgets are made and spent.
not one crew member carried a sign. The only picketers were the IATSE board who gave us our lecture and left after most of us did.
This is good stuff. Solidarity with the striking workers should be a priority.
All the comments about union wages and contributions being so high are incorrect. Union scale is LOWER than the rates currently being paid on many of these shows. Take a union scripted show and you will take roughly a 20% pay cut against MANY non-union reality shows.
Most people I know would take a cut in their rate to offset employer contributions to health/pension plans on a union show.
The real issue is that once there is a union contract the employer cannot lean on people to work hours they are not paid for, which happens a lot.
This has everything to do with the network NOT the prodco. The prodco couldn't care less about unionizing if the production budgets can afford it. It's up to the networks to pony up more money. Go picket them. Why would you cut the tail of the snake and not the head?
As far as the reputations for unions are concerned, perception is reality. I've seen one too many card games in my day interrupted by work. They are what the are. Necessary? Maybe not.
And last I offer everyone the union challenge: come up with a basic union related question and call the respective union for an answer. See how long it takes and how many people you need to speak with before you get an answer. As far as organized labor goes, they are very unorganized.
Finally – SOMEONE who speaks the truth! Thanks ItsNotUs!
Most of you supporting the union have no idea what you are talking about. The ones defending the union have no clue what goes into planning out a show and budgeting a show. Pat Sullivan, you gave the typical non-educated response. You have worked on a lot for years, but never had to negotiate with a network about a budget, nor have you been the EP and had to sacrifice time with your family to work on your idea. Last I checked, you punched a time clock and when you left the job at the studio each day, you didn't stress about it like others over the weekend and at night.
Let's cut to the point: the skill set to be a union member is not that advanced over non-union workers. Did you go to college for 8 years to learn how to do your job, Mr. Teamster or Mr. IATSE?
Also, seriously, create your own show and take the huge risk on it. You complain about how much money Ben or Magical Elves make, but they had to work their butts off to get there. Mr. Union member, what did you do on set today? Did you offer ways to make the sure better? No, you probably said to yourself "I'm not an EP, why should I try to make things better?" – typical union member response. Ben and the Magical Elves people spend their weekends and nights coming up with show ideas and implementing show ideas.
I'm all for unions, but let's not give too much credit to the worth and value of certain people on a show. The EP's, Producers and Production staff are working a lot more hours than any of the union people and they don't get the benefits. Sad, they are the ones who deserve it more than anyone and contribute more to a show than a van driver or an electrician or a sound guy.
"". Did you go to college for 8 years to learn how to do your job, Mr. Teamster or Mr. IATSE?"" 8 years –your crapping me if you/they went to college for 8 your a DR.!!!!! then not a EP or you got drunk and stupid and high for 7.5 years!!!!
ohh and by the way yes some of us do have and education in the BIZ!!!
3 years high school –that had a real theater/video class –not actors class real TECH class
2 years college for video telcom -aka I can build you a sound stage for your evening news show
then add in my case 20 more years doing this biz that had many many classes on other specialty skills that are not taught by the "safety class" crud from the CSATTF
i don't know what is so "unfair" about working max 12 hours (with OT) twice a week on a stage with fully catered meals and a payrate 25% more than union rate. just let us go to work, this is what we signed up for and what we want to do
then the iatse reps don't make their pension and multiple $130k plus cushy job salaries…i think the west coast head baee salary is $250k plus…check their financials and yet it is posed as a protection of our rights.

Reviews for Pasta and Sausage Bake
Average Rating
"Tried. I have had better. Probably will not make again."
"I added a can of sliced black olives to this recipe and it turned out great. Fast, easy and tastes great."
"Have been making this for 30+ years with 1 lb. of ground beef, 24 oz. jar of spaghetti sauce, 1/2 cup of pizza sauce, sliced mushrooms, and two cups of mozzarella cheese, divided, one cup mixed in with the sauce, and then one cup on top. We love it and there is never any left when I take it to gatherings. Best of all is that I can make it in my large electric skillet and carry it where the party is, or make it stovetop and then use a large slow cooker to keep it warm. You just can't go wrong with this."
"Mostaccioli appears to be very similar to penne pasta."
"i want to make this b'cuz looks & sounds so-o good. But what is mostaccioli?????"
