Bone problems have quietly emerged as a major health issue for people with HIV, and HIV meds may be at least partly to blame, according to recent research. The findings add to a growing body of evidence that suggest HIV health care providers and the HIV community should start paying much more attention to bone health.
A small study published in the July 17 issue of the medical journal AIDS may shed some sorely needed light on this important issue. Researchers in the Netherlands and Finland recruited 50 HIV-positive men who had never before taken HIV meds and randomly divided them into two groups.
Each group started a different HIV treatment regimen: One group received Combivir (AZT/3TC) and Kaletra (lopinavir/ritonavir), while the other group took just Viramune (nevirapine) and Kaletra. (Both of those regimens, incidentally, are not considered "preferred" regimens in either the official U.S. HIV treatment guidelines or the European HIV treatment guidelines. However, the guidelines don't say it's a bad idea to take them, either.) The researchers followed those 50 men for two years, periodically checking their bone mineral density using a commonly used type of test called a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA or DEXA) scan.
By the end of the 24-month study, around 40 percent of the men in both groups had developed osteopenia in their femoral neck, meaning their bone mineral density was lower than normal. (Osteopenia is considered a risk factor for osteoporosis, the clinical name for bone disease.) Similar results were found in scans of the mens' lumbar spine, part of the lower region of the spinal cord.
This was admittedly just a small study. Also, importantly, it did not include women, who are generally known to be at an even greater risk for bone problems as they age than men. However, the study findings are an important wake-up call, especially for HIV health care providers. The results are alarming not just because they seem to show that HIV meds potentially weaken bones, but also because so many of the study volunteers already had low bone mineral density when they started the study: For instance, about 29 percent of the participants had femoral neck osteopenia before they even began taking HIV meds.
In a lengthy editorial published in the same issue of AIDS, a group of Italian researchers drove home the point that bone disease is clearly on the rise among people with HIV. They note that some surveys show between 10 percent and 20 percent of all people over the age of 45 have osteoporosis. Moreover, women over 50 are most likely to develop osteoporosis. If this is the case for HIV-negative individuals -- who don't have the dual bone-loss risk factors of HIV itself and HIV meds to contend with -- then the numbers among HIVers are likely to spike in the next several years, the researchers predict.
So, yes, the numbers are frightening. And it's not exactly comforting that, although experts feel pretty sure that both HIV and HIV meds appear to play a role in bone disease, they aren't sure exactly how. But, as the Italian researchers urge in their editorial, there are proactive steps that HIV health care providers and HIV-positive people can take to monitor their bone health, or to improve it if it turns out they're at risk for bone disease. They include:
"I have been talking about bone loss for two years, but this serious patient concern gets dismissed for the most part by researchers, companies, and NIAID [the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases]," wrote HIV advocate Jules Levin in his own analysis of this study. "Most of the big name researchers don't even understand bone disease ... and they arrogantly refuse to be educated."
That means it's up to you to get your HIV health care provider more involved in checking up on your bone health, especially if you're a man or woman over 40 with HIV -- or an HIV-positive woman who's gone through menopause.

So what's the big deal about casual sex? We've been trying to wrap our heads around the casual sex conundrum for years; guy takes girl home, guy gets high-fives all around. Girl takes guy home, girl gets no high-fives, and might be branded the 'S'-word (hint; it rhymes with 'butt').
It sounds completely unfair to us, and science agrees.
According to findings published in the Journal of Sex Research – which was actually trying to prove the downside of a one night stand – casual encounters provide the same level of pleasure and satisfaction for women as they do for men.
And speaking of science, a lot of chemistry stuff goes on when two people get busy together. But we're not talking lab geeks in white coats; we mean the good kind of chemistry. Stuff we like. Until now though, most people thought couples in a committed, stable relationship enjoyed more bedroom fireworks than their single friends.
Turns out that this, also, is not the case.
In fact, the research shows that two single people thrusting themselves into no-strings flings get the same short-term emotional and physical pleasure as their more steady-going counterparts.
But the study also says that women are more likely than men to experience anxiety about health concerns stemming from a one-nighter, so as always PicoBong recommends you keep it safe.
Rest assured then, casual sex is great for self confidence in all of us. So if it's a little pick-me-up you're looking for, throw away society's rule book – you never know what you might find out!

Lewis and Clark are so yesterday. This is Zebulon Pike's year. In 1806, Pike led an expedition exploring the Southwest, an adventure that took him through what is now Colorado Springs to the base of the mountain that bears his name. (He never climbed it.) An exhibit commemorating that trip, Pike's World: Exploration and Empire in the Greater Southwest, opens at 10 a.m. today at the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, the first of three major shows marking this bicentennial year.
Admission is free; the exhibit, which includes up-to-date maps of Pike's route and a video complete with narration from his journals, runs through October 14. The museum is located at 215 South Tejon Street in Colorado Springs; for more information, call 719-385-5990 or log onto www.cspm.org.

Remove the cylinder and grips.
Take a towel and wet it well with white vinegar. Wring it out, and it should be barely wet. Just damp is what you want.
Wrap the frame (and later the cylinder) tightly with the towel, molding it close to the contours with your fingers. Let the towel "not make" it to the lowest spots of the contours.
Wait 5 minutes, remove, wash, and examine.
Repeat as required.
This takes blue off of the high spots, which is what you want, and leaves some in the low spots, which is what you want.
When done, wash in hot water, wipe with a Ballistol wetted towel, and enjoy.
Practice on the cheapest junk Navy Arms POS that you can buy for $50 on Gunbroker, with a broken spring. It'll give you the confidence you need to do it to your new $400 Uberti.

|Westvleteren Extra 8
|Westvleteren Blond
|Westvleteren 12 (XII)
NickVega (29) Eugene, Oregon | August 17, 2007
(1997) Day 1 - Rent car in Brussels in AM, drive through Brugge as fast as possible, stop for lunch in Popperinge and enjoy a Hummel Ale, rush to Westvleteren for many afternoon goblets. This is a humble place to enjoy a great beer. Next to Kulminator this is my fondest memory in Belgium. If you want to see a monastery and Monks on forklifts - go to Orval.
beernoevil (51) Suwanee, Georgia | March 21, 2011
We were very hungover from attending the Zythos Bier Festival the night before but I had to give this place high marks. Ambiance was typical boring modern Europub. Service was great. I gave the beer selection the full score because where else in the world can you drink all 3 Westys without taking out a second mortgage on your house? We had the Carrot soup and a cheese plate and it was incredible. It's a long way out of the way from anywhere else but so worth the trip if you enjoy the mystique of their beers. You were allowed to buy 1 sixer to go and they only had the 8 available for sale when we were there. In addition to the 1 sixer you could also buy a gift pack w/ 1-12, 1-8 , 2 blonds and a glass. So between the 2 of us we left w/ a total of 2-12's, 14-8's and 4 blonds.
stevoj (351) Boise, Idaho | September 3, 2012
As this is the only place to get Westvelteren, the selection can't be beat. Had the 12 with dinner, the 8 with dessert and finished with the blonde. Truly a day to be remembered...
Joeh (49) , England | September 1, 2004
Has the 3 wonderful beers and a good, limited food menu. The attached gift shop sells bottles of the 3 beers for take away. The prices aren't quite as cheap as buying cases from the abbey, but the abbey doesn't usually have the beers on sale all the time. Bottles of the 12 in the shop are €10.50 for 6.
renatomorais (34) , Brazil | September 8, 2015
Lothore (75) California | June 4, 2014| Updated August 3, 2015
Beautiful country setting next to the monastery. I came on a picturesque day and had lunch, each of the three westvleteren beers offered and beer ice cream. Must have been lucky because when I came, it was half full and the staff was extremely attentive. The lunch (croque monsieur) was unremarkable but the beer and especially the ice cream were spectacular. Perhaps the best ice cream i've ever eaten. If I can make one recommendation, it is that you go here, get each of the delicious beers and stuff your face with remarkable ice cream made with westlvetern blonde. Life doesn't get much better. The gift shop is awesome. Got some cheap westy 12 and westvleteren glasses.
Steentje (7) , Netherlands | August 22, 2015
always crowded, often with beerdrinking cyclist-in-the-morning...and off you go with 2x12 in your body... anyway, nice place
sdcourtney (37) Indianapolis, Indiana | April 9, 2013
Visited over Easter weekend, so couldn't get the beer though the 'beer line' and had to sample the three Westy's here. Just had to stop by! Glad I came.
Mathieu87 (328) Brussels, Belgium | April 13, 2011| Updated May 13, 2013
I had to give the maximum points to selection because they have all 3 Wesvleterens all the time, as much as you want ;) Service is good, ambiance is chill and easy, people are there to enjoy their afternoon and their beer. The food is really nice and goes really well with the beers. Overall a 18/20, mostly because it's thé Westvleteren pub, but also because it's a nice place to be :)
jkwood04 (66) Connecticut | June 11, 2010
Ok maybe they only have 3 different, expensive bottles of beer here, but it's Westvleteren 12 and 8. Worth every penny and every second it takes to get there.

Peter Andre used to have a piercing on his manhood.
The 'Mysterious Girl' singer admitted he had his most private area pierced when he was in his 90s pop heyday.
Speaking on TV show 'Mad Mad World', he said: "I did go through a bit of a mad stage but back in the 90s everyone was doing it."
Peter has been revealing his racy side recently, saying he would like to write a version of erotic novel '50 Shades of Grey' for men.
He said: "Everyone's talking about the book 'Fifty Shades Of Grey', and us guys are feeling like we're missing out! Even on my Twitter feed, people are talking about it and I don't know what the heck's going on!
"Can I read it or is it just for girls? Help me out! Thinking about it, I might write my own version of the book, just for blokes."
The 39-year-old musician-turned-reality TV star is also rumoured to be dating 22-year-old medical student Emily MacDonagh, who he met when he was treated by her father, a surgeon, two years ago.
His spokesperson said: "Emily is a lovely girl and Pete thinks the world of her and her family.
"He is extremely cautious and it is early days. They are getting to know each other at the moment but get on tremendously well."

Driven by secret obsessions and desire, Cotton Mather (played by Seth Gabel) is the well-educated local aristocrat who fans the flames of the town's witch hunt in WGN America's new series "Salem," and a new video has arrived to introduce you to him.
In "Salem" witches are real, but they are not who or what they seem. The show, which centers on an epic romance wrapped around this explosive revelation, delivers a bold new vision of Salem – and an even bolder new vision of witches.
"Salem," premiering on Sunday, April 20th, enters the world of the most notorious witch trials in history, a period steeped in fear, suspicion, and hysteria. On an expansive set in Shreveport, Louisiana, built to reflect volatile 17th century Massachusetts, "Salem" explores what really fueled the town's infamous witch trials and dares to uncover the dark, supernatural truth behind them.
Related Story: New Photos from WGN America's "Salem"
Created, executive produced, and written by award-winning writer/producer Brannon Braga ("24," "Star Trek: The Next Generation, Voyager and Enterprise") and Adam Simon (The Haunting in Connecticut), "Salem" stars Janet Montgomery ("Human Target," "Made in Jersey") as the ruthless but vulnerable Mary Sibley, Salem's most powerful enchantress; Shane West ("Nikita," "ER") as handsome, hardened war veteran John Alden – and Mary's onetime love interest; Seth Gabel ("Fringe") as local aristocrat Cotton Mather, who fans the flames of Salem's witch hunt; Ashley Madekwe ("Revenge") as Mary's mysterious, carnal accomplice; Xander Berkeley ("Nikita," "Being Human") as chief politician Magistrate Hale; Tamzin Merchant (Jane Eyre) as the forthright Anne Hale, an artist with a perilous attraction to Alden; Elise Eberle (The Astronaut Farmer) as the mysteriously afflicted Mercy Lewis; and Iddo Goldberg ("Mob City") as outcast Isaac Walton.

I did Lifestyle lift in the Beverly Hills office about three months ago. The procedure was very painful. I ended up with terrible scarring. And on top of that, I do not see any major change.
I did not see the doctor after surgery. Some one who was not a doctor took my stitches out. I felt I was rushed. The same way I felt even before my surgery.
A month later, I keep requesting to see a doctor. Eventually after an hour wait he came in and said the scars would be ok and did not give enough chance to explain myself.
It has been few months and scars are not even slightly better. I was searching this site and came across some one raving about Dr {edited}. I went to see him in his Beverly Hills office last week. I was crying during my consultation. He was so compassionate. Dr {edited} felt so bad for me and promised to fix my scars for free. I saw couple of people in his waiting room that had surgery with him. They looked great and the incision line was so hidden (nothing like mine). I wished I looked at this site before and went to Dr {edited} instead.

Car arrived back safe and sound, Would highly recommend this Garage in the future to anyone wanting a affordable and reliable service.
Initially there was bit of a problem over the booking as I turned up on the Wednesday and was expected the following day. Despite this my Peugeot 307 was taken in for a cam belt and water pump change. Initially it looked as though the job might have to roll over into the next day, but after I explained that I was off to the British Grand Prix on Thursday they pulled out all the stops and I had the car all sorted and back on my drive by 2pm. Special thanks to Nicki on reception for jiggling things about and getting it all sorted for me. Will be back in the Autumn for service and MOT. Thanks again, great customer service!
Absolutely fantastic service. Booked the previous day to have it picked up and delivered back the next day. They even fixed a fault from another garage. (ABS lead hitting the drive shaft....). The price was superb too, massively better value for money when compared to the "big garages" (that left my ABS cable hanging!) I couldn't recommend them any higher.
Excellent customer service !!
Needed more than a simple recharge of my air cond.system,done some electrical repairs on wires,but all final price was fair...kind staff,starting with reception,continue with engineer.and finally the owner...definitely if I will have other issues with my car I would ask them first!
Brilliant, price as quoted
Absolute 5 star service, highly recommend this garage. Was treated so well by the garage owner, other bosses in various industries could take lessons from this owner. I've found my garage! definitely will return again for all my car needs. Have already recommended this garage to several people.
They were fantastic, fitted me in quickly and found the problem.
Absolutely perfect from start to finish, Great communication and advice and kept me in the loop from the start, great customer service, friendly staff and the car now feels like a new car! Perfect in every respect, highly reccomend. Five Stars Matt BMW 325i Clutch replacement.
I had a feeling of personal service. The staff were friendly, helpful and above all honest. They did as much as they possibly could for me, highly recommend them.
Helpful and fast service. Very friendly staff. Cost exceeded initial quote due to cost of parts but this was all itemised.
Quick and efficient service. They kept me updated throughout the day and explained clearly any remedial work that was needed.
Fantastic, nice people, will be using them from now on
Very happy with the work the garage did

Aarhus N, Denmark, 2013/11/28 - Tefirom Group has signed an agreement for the extension of the Bakras wind power plant using 7 V112-3.3 MW wind turbines - Vestas.com.
Vestas remains the sole provider of wind turbines to the Tefirom Group, who operates in the construction, energy, transport, logistics and education sectors in Turkey and with the extension will have 65 MW of wind power capacity.
Tefirom Group has signed an agreement for the extension of the Bakras wind power plant using 7 V112-3.3 MW wind turbines. Vestas remains the sole provider of wind turbines to the Tefirom Group, who operates in the construction, energy, transport, logistics and education sectors in Turkey and with the extension will have 65 MW of wind power capacity.
Built in 2010, the existing Bakras wind power plant currently consists of 5 V90-3.0 MW turbines.
The wind turbines for the extension are scheduled to be delivered in the first quarter of 2014, and to be commissioned by the second quarter of 2014.
The 23 MW contract includes supply, installation and commissioning of the wind turbines, a VestasOnline® Business SCADA system as well as a five-year full-scope service agreement (AOM 4000).
The complete Bakras wind power plant will have an estimated annual production of more than 120 GWh per year, which will save the environment from over 55,000 tons of CO2 emissions on an annual basis. Furthermore, it will provide enough electricity to cover the residential electricity consumption of more than 200,000 people in Turkey.
It comes very natural to develop our business with a supplier that has the same views of a successful wind project as we do: Vestas, like Tefirom Group, combines latest technology developments with its solid experience in construction, engineering, contracting and project management fields, states Tevfik Öz, President of Board of Directors of Tefirom Group who concludes We look forward to the installation of our first V112-3.3 MW wind turbines integrating our Vestas installed capacity. Based on our long-lasting relationship with Vestas, we are extremely confident that the projects will be successfully commissioned.
Olcayto Yigit, General Manager, Vestas Turkey, comments: Having provided 100 per cent of the Tefirom Groups wind capacity gives us pride and confidence in our organisation as well as in our products. We will continue to work closely with our customers throughout their value chain to understand their needs and meet their long-term requirements.
About Vestas

I've gone through two rounds of PT, anti-inflammation medication and muscle relaxers. My pcp bought up the idea of a breast reduction; however, I never followed up on her written referral. A year and a half later, the pain and shoulder grooving still exist and I have another referral. I have Federal BCBS PPO. I'm 240, 5'9, wear 36JJ and bottom heavy. My tummy is very flat and my waist fairly small. Even when I was 180, I still had the same cup size. Will my Insurance cover this?
Breast Reduction For JJ Cup With Federal Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO?
Doctor Answers 7
Breast reduction coverage
Patients with large breasts who also have persistent neck, back, and shoulder pain, shoulder grooving, and frequent rashes under the breasts tend to respond remarkably well to breast reduction. In fact close to 90,000 women benefit from these procedure each year. It can sometimes be challenging to prove medical necessity to an insurance company. The more documentation you can get from your pcp and physical therapist the better. The best judge as to whether you are a good candidate will be a local board certified plastic surgeon.
Insurance coverage for breast reduction
Not surprisingly. Your insurance company wants to avoid paying for your breast reduction surgery if they can. They often give several excuses despite your symptoms. Undergoing physical therapy is a waste of time. They may deny coverage based on your weight even though the surgery will still be needed if you lose weight. The key here is persistence. The insurance company is hoping you just give up trying. If you are indeed a good candidate for the surgery, you need to be persistent with the insurance company. Eventually they may decide it is less of a hassle to just approve the surgery than to field you calls on a daily basis.
Insurance Covering Breast Reduction
Sounds like you have covered most criteria that insurance companies require.In addition most will say a minimum of 500 grams of breast tissue needs to be removed from each breast and you would easily meet that. You should see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an evaluation and to help you get pre-authorization. Insurance companies usually want documentation of what you have tried, such as a letter from your Physical Therapist and a letter from the doctor that prescribed your medications, but again your Plastic Surgeon will know how to submit your request. then it will depend if your insurance policy covers breast reduction or it may have an exclusion, but usually Federal insurance plans have good coverage. Good Luck!!

A strong likelihood for coverage by insurance plan for breast reduction
From your explicit history, you stand an extremely high chance of being able to have insurance cover your breast reduction. You have failed conservative, non-operative therapy and hass massively enlarged breasts that would also qualify for coverage based on volume expected to be removed criteria.
You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who can examine you, explain his/her recommendations and then obtain authorization from your insurance plan. Some weight loss prior to your procedure would also be helpful.

You should definitely get insurance coverage for your breast reduction.
Insurance Coverage for Breast Reduction. I hope this article is useful.
80% of breast reduction questions on RealSelf are about insurance coverage. Here are some helpful points.
1) Insurance companies try very hard not to pay for breast reduction, even though they should. Even small breast reductions relieve many symptoms such as back pain and shoulder pain, and even some types of headaches.
2) Very big reductions (like from an F cup to a C cup) will usually be covered.
3) Many policies will pay for breast reduction if 500 grams (a little more than a pound) or more are removed from each breast.
4) Some policies take your height and weight into account. So that if you are tiny, smaller reductions will be covered. Find out the details of your policy.
5) DON'T get too much of a reduction just to satisfy the insurance company. You will be unhappy with tiny breasts.
6) Your surgeon needs to request pre-certification IN WRITING, and attach as much evidence as possible.
7) Evidence includes letters from your internist, orthopedic surgeon, and/or chiropractor stating that breast reduction will relieve your symptoms.
8) Some companies require that you try "alternative treatments" such as weight loss and physical therapy first.
9) Don't give up. If the first request is denied, demand an appeal.
10) If there is no insurance, and you cannot afford to pay a private surgeon, go to the plastic surgery clinic of a teaching hospital. There, residents do the surgery under supervision, and the cost is minimal. In New York City, we train residents and fellows at Lenox Hill Hospital, and they do good work.
Insurance coverage for JJ cup
Breast Reduction and insurance coverage.
Thank you for the question.
Based on your description you may be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery; it may be in your best interest to drop weight first. The ideal situation is for you to lose weight and be stable in regards to weight prior to surgery - that will give you the best chances of long-term results you will be happy with. If you, for example, have the surgery and then lose 20 more pounds, you may need to have another surgery because there may be additional loose skin to be removed or you may be displeased with the ultimate breast size.
The best way to obtain insurance coverage for breast reduction surgery involves some "hoops" to jump through. The more documentation you have (for example, from your primary care doctor, physical therapist, chiropractor etc.) the better when it comes to obtaining insurance "authorization" for the procedure.
This documentation and letter/pictures from your plastic surgeon will help you obtain authorization.
Make sure you're saying a well-trained/experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.
I hope this helps.

It takes 15 minutes to watch half a Seinfeld rerun, play a few levels of Angry Birds – or to cook a decent, healthy family meal. At least, that's the promise from taste.com.au's Quick and Easy section, which has a whole section devoted to recipes that take less than 30 minutes.
My family put five of these recipes to the test in one big "Quick and Easy" week. Parents and boys all had input into the plan and all the shopping was done on the weekend before we started.
The exercise showed the benefit of working to a structured meal plan.
These recipes do cut some corners – with cans, packets etc – but the final results deliver, both for flavour and a nutritious, balanced meal.
In the real environment of a family kitchen, complete with kids, homework, phone calls… 15 minutes might be a stretch unless you are a focused and highly proficient cook.
But set aside 20-30 minutes and you too can cook a dinner the kids' rate 100/10.
Lamb cutlets with lentils and fried onion rice
Cook some extra rice to go with your Sunday night curry or stir-fry and this impressive dish is a breeze. Like many of these recipes, doing a little bit of prep work the night or morning before takes the pressure off. I put together the spice mix, making double quantities so it's ready for next time. By frying the lamb cutlets first, the spice that's left in the pan (and the meat juices) are used to flavour the rice mix. Cunning. Canned lentils are fine, though you'd get a nicer, bitier texture by cooking green lentils from scratch – for special friends only, I'd say.
The theory would work with less expensive cuts than lamb cutlets (loin lamb chops, even steak) but you would need to cook them longer.
And the kids won't be able to eat them like a lollipop.
Lesson: Cooking more than you need (even rice) can help get through the following days.
Quick? About 20 minutes.
Easy? As long as you don't overcook the lamb.
Kids' verdict: 100/10
Chicken and corn soup
Mid-week sports practice gives "quick and easy" its biggest challenge.Mum comes home with the kids extra-hungry and needs to have something ready before they clean out the biscuit barrel. This deceptively simple soup is the answer. The can of creamed corn is the trick, making the stock base thicker and more satisfying. I chopped the kernels off a fresh cob of corn, added a splash of rice wine as well as the soy, and found some thin egg noodles in the pantry. A frozen container of homemade chicken stock will give the best results, but a good-quality consomme or salt-reduced commercial stock will be fine.
Lesson: Frozen homemade chicken stock is like money in the bank.
Quick? A real 15-minute meal – and reheats well for lunch the next day.
Easy? Absolutely.
Kids' verdict: A split decision, but noodles saved the day. 7/10
Bavette (pasta) with prawns, pesto, potato and green beans
The boys have yet to meet a prawn they don't like – especially if the tail is still attached to use as a handle. I had a jar of pesto in the fridge made from the last of a friend's basil crop. So this 15-minute recipe, where the potato and beans cook in the pasta pot, exemplifies quick and easy. The prawns could easily be replaced with chicken, pork or left out altogether for the traditional Italian combo. Don't be too fussed about finding bavette – most shapes of pasta will do.
Lesson: Cooking everything in one pot means less fuss – and less washing-up.
Quick? More like 25 minutes from scratch.
Easy? Even easier (and cheaper) if you omit the prawns, and make it simply vegetarian.
Kids' verdict: 8/10
Welsh rarebit steak
The parmigiana principle – grilled cheese on meat – is given a more sophisticated take, and the result is a winner all round. The boys, not the biggest fans of plain, grilled steak, gobbled it up, and friends asked for a recipe. The mustard and worcestershire sauce are the key, giving the topping a lovely, savoury edge. I served the steak with steamed beans, omitting the pine nuts and roasted potato wedges that wouldn't be possible in the time limit (though you might manage a mash).
Lesson: Shop-bought sauces and pastes are great for instant flavour.
Quick? About 20 minutes.
Easy? Your friends will never guess.
Kids' verdict: 9/10
Mexican pizza
This was a real no-brainer, given that it combines two of the boys' favourite foods – pizzas and burritos. Adding kidney beans to our standard toppings of diced zucchini and capsicum worked a treat. We'd run out of yoghurt, so we used the sour cream bought for the steak recipe as well as some avocado. This one is definitely a keeper.
Lesson: Adapt based on the ingredients you have.
Quick? Quicker than waiting for a pizza delivery – 20 minutes.
Easy? This is a recipe where everyone can help.
Kids' verdict: 10/10
- Half a dozen eggs will always get you out of a scrape. Omelets, scrambled eggs, and frittatas can be on the table in no time.
- Tinned fish is a lifesaver. Tuna and salmon are the obvious choices but anchovies and sardines add flavour without the effort.
- Thin and small pasta, such as angel hair or linguine, cooks faster than varieties such as penne and farfalle.
- A tin of chickpeas or lentils, carefully rinsed, can make a soup, salad or casserole more substantial.
- A few minutes of planning and a proper shopping list will set you up for a stressfree week of dinners.
- Cook more than you need and stock your fridge or freezer with curries, soups, casseroles and other dishes that reheat well.
- Other leftovers, such as rice, couscous or cooked chicken, can be re-invented in a different dish.
- Keep a few different spice mixes – perhaps a rub for meat and also a curry blend – to add instant flavour to your cooking.

Russia declares war on the United States of America.
At 16:00 (4 PM) Norwegian time, the state Alaska was attacked by Russia along with its 9 alliances:
USA has 14 alliances:
Bosnia and Herzegovina
United Kingdom
Czech Republic
North Korea
At 03:00: The Canadian Prime minister moved to several countries and posted a news article promoting support in various forms, one being moving to Canada. and the sale of "war bonds"[1],
It is certain that the article has been posted in the following countries: Norway, Spain, Malaysia, Australia, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Switzerland, Ukraine, Uruguay, Israel, Ireland and India.
UPDATE the Canadian prime minister asked that attacks should be directed to defend Alaska.
According to the American president, the battle of Nova Scotia was lost within the last 20 minutes, due to an extreme amount of players online, reaching the amound of more than 2500. The American president also put the blame on the aministrators and himself, as he apparently "wasted" 200,000 damage in a training war in Ireland,
"For the love of god, fight where you're told. We wasted 200k in damage in the UK for their training war!"
"[...]Current battle orders are wait until your last login and check here for further details. If nothing else is written, defend ALASKA."[1]
At 17:03: Admin announced that this might be the start of a world war.
Main article
The battle of Alaska currently appears to be in the favor of USA, possibly due to the different Timezones. USA is expected to make a comeback later today.
Earlier; the president of the United States has announced that they did want soldiers to defend USA, but to keep on defending Canada until this battle ended!
This is one of several attacks launched by PEACE GC nations within the last few days.
It is believed that this attack on the United States is a so called "dummy attack" where they attack to reduce the attention on the current war in Canada, seeing that the United States are one of the major parts of this war.
Another of the "dummy attacks" is believed to be the attack on the United Kingdom by Hungary, Hungary widthdrew later on.
After the attack on the United States, Canada suddenly lost their upper hand; their total damage is currently decreasing dramatically compared to the French (with 7 allies). If this should continue, the war for Nova Scotia will be lost by the Canadians, and France will conquer it.
Another scenario is the attack on Canada was an attack to make all Americans spend their resources on saving Canada, then going in for USA afterwards.
To the Norwegian people
The people of Norway are encouraged to help out in this war, but not to waste any resources, because they most likely will be needed in the imminent attack and possibly invasion of Norway
By all means the Norwegians should go to war, they should fight, but do not deplete yourself of wellness or weapons, because this will be needed when the time comes for the attack on Norway.
Hungarian News
The Hungarian news agency Hadugyi kozlony announced the 12th of July that they would aim all their major attacks at Nova Scotia in the battle for Nova Scotia.
The Hungarian article also reads that the main targets will be Scotland, Canada and USA due to their high Diamonds and high wood resources. The war against Sweden, Romania, and Poland is also being discussed the article reads.
According to the Hungarian news agency Hadugyi kozlony, the main target after Nova Scotia(Canada), the next main target will be Prince Edwards Island(Canada). If the attack on Alaska(USA) is a dummy attack is still unknown.
Resistance war
Hours after the war on the Canadian territory Prince Edwards Islands started, aresistance war in Burgenland in what currently is Hungary territory, if this war was to misdirect the attacks or to fight Hungary is still unknown.
The war quickly went in favor of Hungary, at 12:30 today, Hungary was in the lead with 100,000 points.
A world war.
This is going to be interesting, and all areas with full hospitals will enjoy those now.
Over here in "Vestlandet", we have Q4, but that's close enough.
To all you new citizens out there reading this, remember that you can use the hospitals after fighting once, so your first 4 or so fights each day will basically be "free", and DO use it to fight (you wouldn't be able to keep an overly wellness anyhow, the more you have the more it takes to increase it, so you might as well build military rank with it)
Do you see your error in here ?
Ireland and UK aint the same country !!!!
The American president also put the blame on the aministrators and himself, as he apparently "wasted" 200,000 damage in a training war in Ireland,
"For the love of god, fight where you're told. We wasted 200k in damage in the UK for their training war!"

It depends on the animal. I'm not sure how I classify them exactly but I do... Somehow.
Deer, kill to eat or give to those who will.
Crows, they're an infestation. Kill every one I can, which is not many since I don't try.
Starlings/Pidgeons, kill em all, let God sort em out.
Woodchucks, kill them all. Don't generally swerve to hit them but don't try to miss either.
Opossum/skunk/rabbit/coon, never really bothered any of them. Except a few rabbits back when.
When I was a kid with a BB gun I would shoot birds all day long, partly I think because it started with genuine pests (starlings and pidgeons) and my grandparents farm. The "nonpest" birds my dad was always like "why you shoot the birds? Leave them alone."
Funny, now I wouldn't kill the nonpest birds for anything.
As for running stuff over, the only ones I don't avoid are woodchucks.

Porto v Dynamo Kiev preview
Porto goalkeeper Helton has rejected suggestions his side are favourites ahead of the Champions League Group A clash with Dynamo Kiev.
Last Updated: 24/10/12 9:32am
Porto goalkeeper Helton has rejected suggestions his side are favourites ahead of the Champions League Group A clash with Dynamo Kiev.
Porto head the group standings with two wins from as many games going into Wednesday's fixture, but the Brazilian does not believe that makes them favourites.
Helton, who is set to make his 40th Champions League appearance against the Ukrainian side, told a press conference: "This idea (of being favourites) is not even mentioned in training or in the dressing room. The idea is humility. Our ethics do not allow this. They need the win just like us.
"Regarding the 40 games, I try to do the best. I am grateful and proud of it."
Helton praised his team-mates ahead of a game which sees the reigning Portuguese champions not having conceded a goal at this stage of the competition.
He said: "This is not just thanks to Helton. I have 10 team-mates who make sure FC Porto have not conceded."
Porto, who are top of the current Primeira Liga standings and won 1-0 away to FC Vizela in the third round of the Portuguese Cup on Saturday with a goal from Danilo, met Dynamo in the group stages of the 2008/09 season when both teams won away from home.
Dynamo's attacking midfielder Andriy Yarmolenko has put his 23rd birthday celebrations on hold as his team bid for victory against Porto.
Instead of celebrating his birthday today the St Petersburg native was in Portugal preparing for tomorrow night's game.
Yarmolenko told the club website: "Last year, we all had a game on my birthday, so I spent it on the field.
"Now we are preparing for an important game with Porto. I will gather most people close to me after returning from Portugal (for a celebration).
"Of course, we would like to have a party, but we need to achieve a positive result in the Champions League.
"That would be the best gift for me from my team-mates. I will play with a special inspiration."
Dynamo coach Oleg Blokhin will be without Brazilian striker Raffael who was injured in the 3-1 defeat to Metalist Kharkiv on Saturday which left them 12 points behind leaders Shakhtar Donetsk in second place in the Ukrainian league.
Dynamo, with one win from two Champions League Group A matches so far, will also be without Brazilian defenders Dudu and Leandro Almeida.
But another Brazilian defender Betao is back in the squad after missing the defeat to Metalist.

An Analysis of Language Mismatch in HMM State Mapping-Based Cross-Lingual Speaker Adaptation
This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the impacts of language mismatch on the performance of cross-lingual speaker adaptation. Our work confirms the influence of language mismatch between average voice distributions for synthesis and for transform estimation and the necessity of eliminating this mismatch in order to effectively utilize multiple transforms for cross-lingual speaker adaptation. Specifically, we show that language mismatch introduces unwanted language-specific information when estimating multiple transforms, thus making these transforms detrimental to adaptation performance. Our analysis demonstrates speaker characteristics should be separated from language characteristics in order to improve cross-lingual adaptation performance.

Much easier to find the faint 4 wheel drive to the north end of the canyon and walk up that. Then take a much less sloping trail to the base of this. Cairns will lead the way on that side of the canyon. Don't go up when you see bootleg like we did and grovel through sloping loose stuff.
AMAZING route. Glorious fingers, hands. Anchor is good. No one is ever back in Day Canyon and it's gorgeous and a great place to have to yourself with IC quality crack and no crowds.

Objective. To obtain demographic indicators for some indigenous communities in Colombia situated in three different regions of the country: the Caribbean, the Amazonic basin and the Andes. Material and methods. Demographic variables gathered in a KAP (knowledge, attitude and practices) survey among the indigenous population in 1993 and 1994 were analyzed. The survey included 11 522 Indians. Results. 45% of the population is under age 15; overall rate of fertility is 6.5 children per woman, and death rate in 1990 was 63.3 children per 1 000 live births. Life expectancy at birth was 57.8 years for women and 55.4 years for men. Conclusions. The indicators differ substantially from the national ciphers. Although the indigenous population seems to be undergoing a process of demographic transition, there are marked differences between regions, with significantly higher fertility and infant mortality rates for the Caribbean region.
Keywords : Indians; South American; demography; fertility; mortality; Colombia.

Lawyers have criticised a proposal by the Victorian Labor Party to allow juries a direct say in sentencing criminals convicted of serious crimes.
Opposition leader Daniel Andrews announced today that if Labor was elected in 2014, judges would have to consult with juries and hear their views before delivering sentences.
Under the plan, after a guilty verdict is delivered but before a sentence is handed down, juries would be given information that is currently provided exclusively to judges, such as victim impact statements and prior offences. They would then recommend a minimum jail term.
Judges would still have the ultimate say in sentencing, and would have to include reasons for disagreeing with the juries' advice in their sentencing judgment.
But the chairman of the Criminal Bar Association, Remy van de Wiel, QC, said the proposal was costly and had no real benefit.
"Juries do not have the training, they do not have an awareness of sentencing statistics and they rarely have any detailed information of the details of the offender such as their psychiatric history, family history and are usually not aware of the actions of co-accused and their sentences."
He said there was a "real danger" juries who who found people guilty of serious crimes would moderate their views because of their greater input in sentencing.
"The direction at the moment is the judge says questions of sentences are a matter for me, not for you."
Law Institute of Victoria president Reynah Tang said the institute had not been consulted about the proposal, which would be expensive and could lead to delays.
"It will result in delays in completing judgments and inconvenience juries by pulling them back into court after a trial."
He said judges were the best people to sentence offenders.
Mr Tang said judges were in touch with public opinion and cited a 2011 report by the Australian Institute of Criminology that found 90 per cent of jurors found sentences were appropriate after reading the judgment.
Victorian Attorney-General Robert Clark said the proposal was "lazy, half-baked and unworkable" and would grind the justice system to a halt.
He said the proposal was identical to one examined by the NSW Law Reform Commission in 2007, which found increasing the involvement of juries in sentencing would cause undue delays in trials.
But Mr Andrews said the proposal would enhance public confidence and a 12-month trial would expose any issues with its implementation.

As President Barack Obama moves forward with his plans to pursue significant national gun control measures, Madison's City Council added its voice to the national conversation when the body unanimously adopted a resolution calling for stricter gun control at its Jan. 8 meeting.
According to City Council President Shiva Bidar-Sielaff, District 5, the resolution highlighted the council's position on the issue and urged the U.S. Congress and Obama to establish a ban on assault weapons and high capacity ammunition.
In light of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School late last year, Bidar-Sielaff said the council felt it had become too increasingly common for U.S. citizens to be attacked by people with military-style weapons and ammunition clips.
"Weapons of that caliber have no purpose in civil society," Bidar-Sielaff said.
Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8, emphasized the events in Newtown, Conn., could have occurred in Madison. He said the council felt it was necessary to encourage Congress to act rapidly to ensure other cities do not fall victim to a similar fate.
The resolution emphasized the best way to protect children and adults in Madison schools, malls, theaters and other public places is to ban these types of weapons, Bidar-Sielaff said.
"As a council, we feel that weapons that can pierce body armor should not be sold to the general public," Resnick said. "They have no purpose other than to cause destruction."
While the City Council does not have the power to determine how gun control should take shape in Madison, Ald. Bridget Maniaci, District 2, explained it was important for the city leadership to establish its position on the issue.
Maniaci said the City Council produces these kinds of resolutions on a regular basis in order to address policy issues, both large and small, that they feel are important.
"[This resolution] shows that elected officials take these issues seriously and are able to go on record about gun violence in America," Maniaci said.
Resnick explained the purpose of the resolution was to send a clear message to other elected officials this was an important issue locally.
It is one of the few things a unified council can do to take action on an issue, Resnick said.
"Hopefully it helps send a message to Congress that the time for action is now, not to delay and not to compromise," Resnick said.
On Jan. 16, Obama publically announced his plans to address the issue of gun control in the country, including placing limits on high ammunition magazines and issuing a ban on assault rifles.
In a statement issued in response to the president's agenda, Mayor Paul Soglin voiced his opinion on the new measures. The statement said the founding fathers did not envision high capacity weapons in the hands of irresponsible persons when they drew up the second amendment.
"I support President Barack Obama's plan to make our country safe and to issue these very reasonable firearm controls," Soglin said in the statement.

São Paulo, Brazil, 2014/03/11 - Portal NEO1 is the newest generator and compiler of releases, material facts, articles and studies on financial communications and the capital market - PortalNEO1.net / MZGroup.com.
MZ, a member of Grupo Attitude, the worlds largest independent investor relations company and a benchmark for innovation in the financial communications market, is pleased to announce the launch of Portal NEO1, a robust website that will generate and compile content related to financial communications, the financial market, the capital market, sustainability, the law, investor relations and corporate governance.
The aim is to unite information on the financial market in a single channel, with news straight from the IR departments of listed companies, events calendars and results disclosure, with links to conference calls, as well as articles and studies by renowned financial sector professionals, and much more.
According to Paulo Barroso, an MZ partner and head of the companys marketing area,"MZ is following its innovation DNA by launching a pioneering portal for the creation of a knowledge bank, giving financial market professionals easy access to a wealth of information in a single location."
Portal NEO1 (portalneo1.net) also arose to take advantage of the changes introduced by CVM Instruction 547/14, which enters into effect today and allows listed companies to publish their material acts and facts on internet news portals and not only in large circulation newspapers, as previously.
MZ believes these changes will facilitate and streamline the dissemination of material acts and facts, as well as helping to reduce listed companies maintenance costs, thereby increasing the attractiveness of the capital market as an alternative financing source.
According to Rodrigo Alves, CEO of MZ,"in addition to being a portal with fully up-to-date information on the financial market, the channel has a specific section for online legal publicity where all MZs clients can publish their material facts free of charge and keep up with the latest market tendencies.".

A discarded cigarette is believed to be the cause of a blaze which destroyed 43 cars parked at a Sydney swimming complex on the weekend.
More than 1500 people were evacuated from the Olympic Park Aquatic Centre yesterday afternoon, after a grass fire spread to the carpark.
''I could hear explosions every 20 minutes - there were either tyres popping or petrol tanks exploding," witness Todd Fordham told the Sydney Morning Herald. ''There was a bit of smoke and it just got bigger and bigger… It was pretty scary."
Three people were treated for smoke inhalation, but it could have been much worse.
Nicola Tonuri's daughter was at the centre competing in swimming races when the blaze took hold. She told the paper the fire was only 20m away from where some of the swimmers were gathering between races.
They ran to their car, afraid of being burned or hurt by tyres "popping like fireworks".
"Luckily we were both safe, but I had friends whose cars were damaged or destroyed."
She called people inside the venue to tell them what was happening before the official call to evacuate was made.
"Cars can be replaced, but it could have been potentially so much worse," says Ms Tonuri.
The exact cause remains unknown, but it's suspected a smouldering cigarette is to blame.

For those of you who follow me on Instagram or have anything longer than a five minute conversation with me, you will quickly see I am slightly obsessed with my dogs. Between our family dog, Doc, my personal, Winnie, and the recent addition to the canine brood, Frankie, family gatherings at the Levin household are filled with cuteness overload.
The reality is that for most of our childhood, we were not allowed to have a dog. My siblings and I begged and pleaded with our parents to let us get a puppy, but they were convinced we were not "responsible" enough to handle having a dog. So they allowed us to get a turtle, hamster and even a plethora of fish as a compromise of sorts. Then one day when I was 13, my parents walked into the pet store on a routine fish food run and the tinniest dachshund you have ever seen walked up to my dad. There wasn't a question in their minds—this was going to be our dog. And that is the story of how Doc quickly became the fifth and undeniably most loved, pampered and important child in our family.
Anyone who has a pet has a similar admiration for their furry friend—their lives are enriched and transformed just by having that constant companion. Pets, much like personal style, shape who we are as people. That is why we asked nine of our Style Gurus to shine the spotlight on their pets and share how their adorable animal counterpart has transformed their lives and style. Be sure to check out all those features running on the homepage today. A big thanks to University of Florida Style Guru, Olivia Muenter, and University of South Florida Style Guru, Aisha Hatter, for showing off their adorable pups and standout style in these FROM THE EDITOR photos!
In the meantime, here are my five favorite thing about the Levin family dogs:
- Doc is literally the smartest animal ever. I joke that he wears a wristwatch because I am 99 percent sure he can tell time.
- Winnie has so much personality packed into a five pound frame. There are few things she loves more than poising for a picture. (Diva?)
- Frankie is just like Amy if she were a five month old French bulldog. He loves personal contact—he just wants to touch, snuggle and kiss you 24/7
- Doc tucks himself into bed at night and sleeps like a human being with his head on the pillow and one paw hanging over the covers. I told you he was a genius.
- Winnie loves fashion almost as much as me. She may or may not have several fur coats other then her natural one.

text: Our defense sucked last year. Fact. Our secondary lacked talent and was poorly coached. Almost certainly fact. Our front 7 had some talent last year but didn't produce. Mario's known for not having a good motor even in a 4-3. There are serious questions about Mario's and Smith's wilingness to do the dirty work as 3-4 ends. We gave an all out effort vs Indy in week 1, and I'm not sure we saw that the rest of the year. I think this draft is a recognition that for the conversion to 3-4 to have any chance, we need to change the culture and get everyone -- especially Mario and Antonio -- to buy in. If they sulk, we're finished. JJ Watt. Brooks Reed. Keo. Go all out every play, however many plays you play. Period. More than any X's and O's, the number one thing the defense needs is energy and commitment. There's some talent on board, and if Wade can get effort, we could land in the middle of the pack, maybe better. But you need the culture to change. Ravens. Steelers. Giants. Eagles. Those guys bring it on D every play. Every week. Every year. The slackers get weeded out and replaced. Big Caveat though -- Watt and Reed better produce. Or else, they're just goofy white guys that run around really hard tackling people 10 yards after the line of scrimmage. Nobody's following that crap.

Published: May 5, 2014 at 12:55 PMCongratulations with this milestone. Lets hope many years will follow.
Published: May 5, 2014 at 4:15 PMRobert, congrats. I'm not entirely sure how long I've been visiting the site, but I do remember when you regularly told stories about your days as a cast member. One of my favorites was (and still is) wearing your "Chicago" overcoat to work on a very very cold morning during Christmas break.
AM looking forward to many more years enjoying your work.
Published: May 5, 2014 at 5:07 PM2014, like 2012, is shaping up to be a good theme park year. I've been around for only three years and it's the community of fellow park-goers that keep me coming. I find myself meeting new voices every month here (I wonder where some of our other regular members have gone), but it's Robert's informative articles along with other wonderful contributors who keep me coming back.
In the spirit of Universal's night show: "15 years is just the beginning."
Published: May 5, 2014 at 5:08 PMI was a fan of TPI way before Robbie was on the payroll of the conglomarates.
Published: May 5, 2014 at 5:09 PMOne suggestion -
I used to enjoy perusing your message board, but after the recent forum format change, it seems like much of the conversation there has stalled.
Perhaps getting rid of the various sub-forums (ie- Disney, Universal, Orlando, Asia, etc.) and just having one main forum for all topics will help spur discussion again.
Published: May 5, 2014 at 6:38 PMI approved the anon comment from the troll as an excuse to remind everyone that, unlike some other theme park news website publishers, I do NOT accept free travel from theme park companies to attend press events, and I do not accept free admission to parks, except when it is necessary to attend those events.
So if I'm writing about a theme park and it's not a press event, I paid my way in to the park, just like everyone else. I don't do travel junkets.
Published: May 5, 2014 at 6:42 PMAlso, regarding the message board: The traffic's been too slow over there for years, and I tried the new format to shake things up a bit. Since it's still too slow for my liking, I'm shaking it up again and listing the threads in time order, rather than by topic first.
It's the same collection of threads on the page, but you'll see the most recently updated posts, regardless of topic, at the top of the page now. Again, you no longer need to wait for a thread to be approved when you submit one as a registered member. I hope this encourages more use of the discussion board! Thanks again.
Published: May 5, 2014 at 7:30 PMCongrats! and thanks for the wonderful publications.
Published: May 6, 2014 at 7:03 AMCongratulations Robert. I have been following this site for 5 or 6 years now and it remains one of my favorites. Well organized, objective, always informative and insightful with a great group of followers. It's inspiring to see someone who has a passion for theme parks combine it with good journalism skills and the flexibility to recruit additional talent to cover so many topics and issues. Keep up the great work !!
Published: May 6, 2014 at 12:25 AMOut of all the many theme park web sites out there this is the one I come back to most often and have saved in my favourites list. It has the right balance of news and comment, spirited debate (!) and seems to have its finger on the pulse of hot theme park gossip and breaking news. It's a fine example of how to do something right.
Congratulations Robert, and the rest of your team. Here's to the next 15 years.....
Published: May 6, 2014 at 5:47 AMCongratulations on a job well done!!!
Published: May 6, 2014 at 8:27 AMCongratulations!

Web Exclusive Price £40.75 £33.96 ex VAT
- In Stock
- Express delivery available
Domenis, perhaps the finest producer in Friuli, has produced an entry-level grappa that beats a lot of other distiller's top of the range efforts, thanks to its higher strength and delicious creamy texture.
Domenis Friulana Grappa Reviews
Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes by Tim F
N: Flax, linen, blackcurrant leaf, asparagus
P: Good texture, quite rich. Peppery entry, with honey, green apples, lemon and a vegetal character. Tongue-tingling spices
F: Spices & pepper linger, then becomes sweeter. Lightly astringent.
C: Much better than an entry-level grappa has any right to be. Good complexity and a long finish from the higher alcohol content.

Authored by Aaron Schatz, Andy Benoit, Bill Connelly, Doug Farrar, Brian Fremeau, Tom Gower, Matt Hinton, Rivers McCown, Brian McIntyre, Chase Stuart, Mike Tanier, Danny Tuccitto, Vince Verhei, Robert Weintraub
The most authoritative and innovative guide to professional football (previously known as "Pro Football Prospectus") is back for an all-new season with more cutting-edge statistical analysis, obsessive film study, and trademark humor. Includes comprehensive coverage of all 32 NFL teams, analysis of offseason personnel changes, over 500 KUBIAK fantasy football projections, and breakdowns of every team from the six BCS conferences plus the top independent and mid-major college football teams. With numerous statistical measures that go far beyond standard NFL stats, Football Outsiders Almanac 2013 gives NFL fans the kind of sabermetric-like statistical analysis that revolutionized the fan's understanding of baseball. It's also written with a knowing dry wit that gets under the skin of America's most popular spectator sport.
Groundbreaking team and player DVOA ratings that correct for situation and opponent to reveal which offenses and defenses are truly superior, and which players really help win games.
Exclusive data from the Football Outsiders Game Charting Project, unavailable in standard NFL stats, tells you which running backs face the most men in the box; which quarterbacks benefit the most from yards after catch; which teams most often blitz or run specific offensive formations; and which defensive backs stop the other team's passing game, measured by pass coverage on every single play rather than just tackles.
Detailed information on each team's performance in 2012 by offensive and defensive personnel package.
NEW FOR 2013: Detailed individual stats for offensive linemen.
Extensive coverage of all 32 teams with week-by-week stats from the 2012 season, five-year performance trends, and analysis of off-season personnel changes.
Exclusive 2013 predictions that give the odds on each team as a Super Bowl contender ... or a contender for the top pick in the 2014 draft.
2013 fantasy football projections for more than 500 skill position players based on the KUBIAK forecasting system.
Breakdowns on more than 75 different college football teams and full win-loss projections for all 125 Division I-A (FBS) teams.
"A book that any self-respecting NFL fan needs to purchase."
-- Bill Simmons, GRANTLAND.com
"Football Outsiders has now built a system that has some serious traction behind it. I personally find it fascinating."
-- John Schneider, General Manager, Seattle Seahawks
"The most accurate insight into why teams really win and lose."
-- Jim Schwartz, head coach of the Detroit Lions

During those 41 years she was instrumental in planning several libraries and designed libraries in three new school buildings in the district. Connie moved with the times from libraries dealing with books and magazines to computers and visual media.

While living in Little Falls, her civic involvement included being a member of the Carnegie Library Board, the Little Falls Education Association, the Minnesota Education Association, a Life Member of the NEA, being chosen chair of the Central Division of MN School Librarians and membership in the Alpha Delta Kappa Sorority. After retirement, Connie returned to her family home in Keewatin to enjoy time with her sisters and friends in the community.

She was on the Keewatin Library Board, a member of the Keewatin Senior Citizens, and a diligent worker with the Keewatin Centennial Committee. Faith, family and her students were always foremost in Connies thoughts.
The Michelich family greatly appreciates the outstanding care provided by the staff at Guardian Angels and Dr. Jon Rudberg. The family also wishes to thank, Father Gabriel Waweru, the deacons, and the Befrienders of the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church for lovingly caring for Connies spiritual needs.
