Nile Breweries urges fair pricing (Translation)
9 September 2010
September 06, 2010
Beer maker Nile Breweries Limited has urged all its distributors, stockists and retailers to observe fair pricing of the company's brands, so as to deliver quality beer to consumers at an affordable price.
The message is included in a company statement that was released today announcing a price increase averaging 8.6% for its key brands. This price increase is necessary as a result of increases in input, operating and financing costs.
"The depreciation in the exchange rate following the global recession has resulted in cost increases for containers and packaging material in particular, while we have experienced a sharp increase in freight costs passed onto us by our third party transporters," said the Nile Breweries statement.
"Recent fuel price increases have also pushed up the cost of transport, which is a significant cost driver in our business due to the bulky nature of beer."
"Our intensive expansion programme, which doubled brewing and packaging capacity last year, and continues with the construction of a barley malting plant this year to broaden our local raw material supply chain, has imposed substantial loans on the business at high interest rates."
"The modest price increase affects the mainstream brands, Nile Special and Club Pilsener, and the economy brand Eagle Extra."
"The prices of all Nile Breweries' premium brands, Nile Gold, Castle Milk Stout, and Redd's Premium Cold remain unchanged. Similarly the prices of the company's imported premium brands, Castle Lager and Grolsch, will be unaffected."

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I had a great experience with the professional printing service! Even noticed a typo right before I approved my design, and I was able to upload a new image and change the typo without much delay. The pearlescent paper turned out beautifully. Guests are already sending me messages about how great the invites are! I'm so glad I chose Wedding Paper Divas to print my self-designed invites. Not to mention the turn-around time was very quick--which is perfect for a procrastinator like myself!"
"I did both my save the dates and invites with wedding paper divas and I can't recommend them enough for future brides. On the day my invites came there was a torrential downpour and little did I know my package from wedding paper divas was getting soaked on my porch. I feared the worst when I opened the package, but to my complete surprise the invites were perfectly fine since everything including the envelopes were completely sealed in plastic. Just an example of the quality of their service! They delivered the invites within a week of my purchase and they are beautiful. Modern, but simple and pretty. I highly recommend these invites to anyone who wants to show off some cute engagement pics!"
"Just received my invitations, and they are beautiful! The color and quality of the invitation and photo's are great. The paper is very thick and great quality. I just got the standard without gloss, and am very happy overall. The fact that they send a proof e-mail BEFORE they print is amazing. I actually put my wedding together last minute, and had to change the date; this policy saved the day and kept me from having to reprint more invitations with the correct date. The packaging is excellent and it shipped quickly! It only took three days from the day I ordered it to get to my doorstep!"
"I ordered the matte finish and it turned out great. The picture is perfect and paper is high quality. Will be using Wedding Paper Divas for future paper needs."
"I ordered this invitation in Begonia and I absolutely love it! It fits perfectly with our color scheme. I wish the paper was a bit heavier, but I went with the standard option. Overall, I think this is a simple, modern design that represents our style perfectly."

In Waterfall or other SDLC processes, a large project is defined as a multiyear effort. Scrum is one of the ways within Agile to execute such a project. There are, of course, many questions about how to handle large projects using Scrum, and there are various opinions but no confirmed answers. . . .

All companies I know that run Scrum still have a line organization. The idea of a line organization is to link organizational units, with the help of managing relations, to a hierarchical organization system. In other words, all ScrumMasters are part of a ScrumMaster line, developers part of a developer line, etc. . . .

|Mung Beans starting to sprout Day 3
Why Sprout?
Sprouts are germinated seeds or legumes. The sprouting process makes the vitamin, protein, and enzyme content of the bean skyrocket! If you want to boost your nutrition and your energy, try adding sprouts to your diet. It's one of the simplest ways to add real live food to your diet.
How to sprout
Years ago I had a spouting kit that was basically a jar with a mesh lid
When we moved, the kit was
misplaced so I started using a regular jar and then a colander and it worked.
If you want to try to sprout, you can use any jar and follow these simple instructions.
1.Place the mung bean ( or lentil) in a jar and cover with water. Soak overnight. 8-12 hours
2. In the morning, pour off the water and either pour the mung beans into a colander and tip it sideways so no water accumulates or leave it in the jar, make sure it is drained well, tip on its side and leaning forward.
3. Rinse a few times a day..and then tip on its side and again lean it forward.
4. Do this for 3-4 days and you will have sprouts... After they sprout to the desired length refrigerate them
|Sprouts in my colander Day 1
|Mung Beans starting to sprout Day 3
They needed another two days to really get going and get much bigger; never mind, they were really tasty small too.
If you don't want to try the colander method you can buy a sprouting kit and follow their directions Or watch this video
I looked on YouTube for a short, but good video with great instructions for sprouting. I found this one:
Notice the little mung beans in this salad. They are sprouted and packed with nutrition.
Sprouting is a super easy way to add extra protein , nutrition, enzymes, and antioxidants to your diet. Sprouts are very low in calories and low in carbs to boot!
Sprouted Moong Salad
1 cup of of Sprouted Mung
1 red onion, chopped
2 large cucumbers, chopped
fresh mint , chopped ( optional)

Michael McHale: Industrial Chic Lighting
Store Profile
Store History
- Founded by: Michael McHale
Michael McHale walked into a design store one day to purchase a light fixture for his New York apartment. Unimpressed with either the materials or the message of what was on offer, he thought he could do a better job himself. What he ended up making proved to be more interesting than he had hoped. His choice of materials — industrial pipes and fittings drenched in fine crystal — conveyed a powerful message of what is capable of beauty when considered properly. The work became an affirmation of what's possible– much like McHale's own late artistic blooming.
In addition to Michael McHale's higher end custom pieces, the designer has recently introduced his Tribeca Collection, which is priced for the retail market.

There's a cafe (Cranky's) in Long Island City that has these fixtures. I've always liked them and didn't know they weren't DIY!
Yes thank you for liking that installation. We get a lot of compliments from people who've seen our lighting at Cranky's.

Great Wallet
I really enjoy this new wallet. It works great and it not to bulky in my pocket. The only downside was that the color was a little more red then I expected. Other than that I really enjoy the wallet and would recommend buying it.

SOURCE Research and Markets
DUBLIN, January 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/72sn6h/growth) have announced the addition of the "Growth Opportunities in the Global Carbon Fiber Market 2013-2018" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
The global carbon fiber market is forecast to experience double-digit growth annually for the next five years in terms of both dollars and pounds shipment. In terms of dollar shipment, the market is expected to reach $3.0 billion in 2018 from $1.8 billion in 2013. The industrial market is expected to witness annual double-digit growth while aerospace experiences high single-digit growth. The sporting goods market is likely to witness the lowest growth in 2013-2018 in terms of dollar shipment.
The author's research indicates future growth of the global carbon fiber industry will be driven by emerging applications such as wind blades; nuclear centrifuge rotor tubes; laptop cases; mobile phones; and risers, tethers and umbilical in the oil and gas industry. In addition, civil and bridge applications; CNG tanks, fuel cells, automotive applications in high-end cars; defense aircraft; commercial aerospace applications such as B787, A380, B747-8, A350; and next-generation narrow body aircraft are leading applications for carbon fiber use.
The industrial market is expected to see the highest growth among the other major sectors such as aerospace and sporting goods; and is forecast to grow at the highest rate annually over the next five years in terms of million dollars in shipments. More new carbon fiber suppliers from India, China, Russia, the Middle East, and other developing regions are likely to emerge. Although there will be a rise in pricing of final products due to material prices increasing annually over the next five years, this will be compensated because of an increase in manufacturing efficiency. Additionally, competition from offshore suppliers such as China and India will drive down the cost of end products.
The report, which provides trend scenarios and forecast statistics for 2013-2018; details industry drivers and challenges; compares properties and prices; and highlights major carbon fiber suppliers, also describes various carbon fiber properties, manufacturing processes, and more.
This unique report will provide you with valuable information, insights, and tools needed to identify new growth opportunities and operate your business successfully in this market.

Here is a picture of an activated (or should I say irradiated?)uranium fuel bundle (which could hold anywhere from 60-80 fuel rods). There could be approximately 174 bundles in a reactor core. It all depends on the size of the plant. I don't remember which plant this is from. I didn't keep good records. But you can clearly see the Cherenkov blue glow. This is the cool part.
Cherenkov is when the charged particles are traveling faster than the speed of light through the water.
Basically, this is the order of disassembly of the reactor for refueling maintenance. First, they put the reactor in shut down mode. The insertion of all the control rods in the core will stop the nuclear chain reaction. There is always water in the core which is what the whole process is about. There are two kinds of nuclear power plants that I have worked at but there are several different others that I have no clue about. The two that I'm talking about are PWR's (Pressurized Water Reactors) and BWR's (Boiling Water Reactors).
Water in the core is heated by the nuclear chain reaction. This is turned into steam which turns the turbine which powers the generators which produces the electricity that you use every day. It's so simple. But then not.
After the plant is shut down, then the workers will perform maintenance in all areas of the plant. The Refuel Floor is at the top of the Reactor Building in a BWR and on the main (top) floor in containment for a PWR. Depending on the type of plant (BWR or PWR) the disassembly begins. For PWR's they remove the Reactor Head and set it aside somewhere on the floor. Then they fill the cavity with water. The reactor internals may be removed if I remember correctly for a PWR. This is placed on the cavity floor beside the core. After this they can start shuffling or replacing fuel bundles.
This picture was taken during a refueling outage. They pick up the fuel bundle with a mast from a refuel bridge over the reactor cavity always maintaining a certain amount of distance from the top of the water. The water is moderating the neutrons and shielding the radiation from the workers. The Operators then move the used fuel bundle to a Spent Fuel Pool where it sits for many years to decay. This is usually outside of containment in a PWR and the process in which they transport the bundles can be tedious. They would have to tilt the bundle horizontally in the water and move it through a transfer canal then upright it and place it in the Spent Fuel Pool.
In recent years we have begun Dry Fuel Storage where the fuel bundles are moved to a multipurpose container which is engineered to allow cooling effect while it decays and keeps any radioactivity from escaping to the atmosphere. Our oldest fuel rods would go into these containers allowing more space in the Spent Fuel Pool for more refueling outages. The used bundles are always kept under water until they are placed safely in these storage casks because it would be deadly if they were exposed.
During an outage the Control Room Operators figure out the matrix of the reactor core and how the assemblies should be arranged. Some fuel rods are shifted around the core while new ones replace old ones. This maximizes the efficiency of the chain reaction in the core. Sometimes when they are done refueling you can look down in the core and see a unique design from the shiny new rods and the darker old ones. I was trying to recall what the design is called artistically. I think it's called Fractals. Don't quote me. Someone sent me an email years ago with very cool pictures of geometrical repeated designs. But I can't find them now.
In a BWR, the process is different. There are shield blocks on top of the cavity. These are removed. Then the Drywell Head (dome) is removed and the Reactor Pressure Vessel Head is removed which are placed on the floor. The Steam Dryer and then the Steam Separator are removed. These are moved into the Equipment Pit (filled with water). The Equipment Pit is directly beside the Reactor Cavity. On the other side of the cavity is the Spent Fuel Pool. There is a gate that is removed between the two areas which allow for the transfer of the fuel bundles.
Ok, I think that's enough for today. I hope that I haven't misspoken about anything here (maybe just the grammar, huh?). If anyone out there reading this is an expert on all of this don't hesitate to correct me. I'm on nights again and so very tired. It's been a few years since I've worked an outage and I have the worst memory in the world. I've been out of the loop because I worked at a DOE site (Dept of Energy) doing various jobs. And then when I got hired on here permanently I became pregnant and therefore couldn't, wouldn't work in the RCA and then of course I went on maternity leave. It's been actually 4 years since I worked the Refuel Floor.
That'll be my next story. What it feels like to work on the Refuel Floor. To me, it's like the most prestigious job there is for an HP. But that's just me. I think it's very exciting to work around the reactor core. The heart of the nuclear power plant. Thump, thump…thump, thump.
I've added a couple more pictures to this story. One is showing the Reactor Head of a PWR and the other is a better picture of the cavity pool and reactor core (PWR).
By the way, I'm not too worried about telling you guys all this stuff because it doesn't compromise the security of the plant. It's not top secret. You could find all this information out on the internet anyway. Now, if I were to tell you how security personnel do their job or the other security aspects of the plant then I would be in trouble. And it's not like I'm telling you how to build a bomb. Which ironically you can find out on the internet also. Isn't that sad?

Are you always in danger at your job? It sounds really dangerous. Who would have thought you'd grow up to working with dangerous things? :)
I think the dangerous jobs are when we have major construction going on like replacing big machinery or tearing down concrete walls. I guess being around this for so long it doesn't feel dangerous to be around radioactivity. What would you call that? Complancency? Superhuman feelings like nothing can hurt me (like when I was a kid climbing trees kind of feeling). Or brainwashing. jk. I love watching movies about nuclear power. The China Syndrome or Silkwood. It amazes me how true to life the movies are. Don't worry we don't use bristle brushes to decontaminate someone.
Thanks for your comment.

Participants in the Chelsea FC Foundation's Kickz programme met Branislav Ivanovic at Cobham for a Q and A yesterday afternoon.
The Serbian international posed for photos and signed autographs before fielding questions from the aspiring footballers, who earned the opportunity to meet Ivanovic after winning their local Kickz football tournament.
'It was great to meet them,' said Ivanovic. 'They asked some really good questions and they were really excited, which was nice to see.
'The Kickz programme is really important and it reminds these guys that they can achieve. It's also great for me to meet them because they had some really good questions about becoming a footballer.'
Kickz began as a pilot project in London between the Premier League and the Metropolitan Police in 2006, with the aim of using football to bring communities together and engage with young people. The vision was to build safer, stronger, more respectful communities through the development of young peoples' potential.
The Chelsea FC Foundation runs six Kickz projects across four boroughs, totalling 15 sessions a week. These boroughs are Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham, Westminster and Wandsworth. In total, the Chelsea FC Foundation works with 450 young people per week.
'It was brilliant to see the excitement in all the kids' faces as they waited for Branislav,' said the Chelsea Foundation's Gareth Davies, who runs the Kickz project.
'They had an amazing afternoon and it's something that will stay with them forever. It was a really inspiring event for all of them.'
Current Academy player Walter Figueira came from the Chelsea FC Foundation's Kickz project in Wandsworth. The Chelsea FC Foundation also currently employs three previous participants of the Kickz projects as coaches after helping them gain FA qualifications.

Re: ***2014 PATRIOTS DRAFT THREAD***
posted at 10/6/2013 1:14 PM EDT
DT is definately a team need next offseason. I hope the Pats address it both in FA and the draft. I would love if they added 2 big bodies to back up Vince and Kelly, especially with age becoming a concern. Anyway I caught some of the Georgia/ Tenn game last night and wasn't overly impressed with McCullers. Love his size but he looks like he could be more effective if he dropped about 20 lbs. ( just my opinion) I was much more impressed with Jenkins around this time last year, who seems to be off to a good start with the saints.

Colt Lyerla has issues. Sure hope the Pats stay away from him even if he drops to the 7th
EUGENE, Ore. -- Tight end Colt Lyerla is leaving No. 2 Oregon because of personal reason.
Lyerla did not travel with the Ducks to their game at Colorado on Saturday. Coach Mark Helfrich said after the 57-16 victory that the junior was suspended for a game for violating team rules.
The nature of the violation wasn't disclosed, but earlier this season a disagreement between Lyerla and Helfrich went public after the tight end missed the Ducks' game against Tennessee with an illness.
Oregon does not disclose injuries, so after the game Helfrich described the tight end's absence as "circumstances." Lyerla then complained to The Oregonian newspaper the he felt the description could be unfairly interpreted.
He later apologized for airing his frustration publicly and said he never meant to be a distraction. Both he and Helfrich said they'd discussed the matter and moved on, but Lyerla did not catch a pass in Oregon's next game against Cal, and then was suspended against Colorado.
Lyerla told Oregon's athletics website that his withdrawal from the Ducks on Sunday had nothing to do with that suspension.
"I love everyone at Oregon; everyone's on good terms, I believe," Lyerla said. "Just for my own benefit, it was time to move on."
Lyerla also told GoDucks.com that he will pursue an NFL career.
He caught three passes for 26 yards this season. For his career, he caught 34 passes for 565 yards and 11 touchdowns.
"We wish Colt nothing but the best in the future, and will support him in any way we can," Helfrich told GoDucks.com, declining further comment on the matter.
Lyerla also landed in the doghouse this summer for going to Twitter with his support of conspiracy theories surrounding the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut. One of his posts concerned the parents of the young victims.
The school issued a strongly worded statement condemning the post.
"Twitter posts attributed to student-athlete Colt Lyerla concerning the tragedy at Sandy Hook are insensitive and offensive, especially those devastated by the shootings, and we have communicated as much to Colt," the statement said.
He also missed the first several days of fall camp his sophomore year for personal reasons.

This is my way, way to early first mock draft but after the lose yesterday I seriously sat down and looked at the Pats short comings and wanted to make a first mock for the areas of need I see coming. So with that I am assuming the Pats make the playoffs but don't make it out of the 2nd round (as the team currently stands I don't think they are going deep) so I gave them pick #25 as such. Here's what I came up with:
1st round - Ed Reynolds SS Stanford
Given a look at their cap they would save some money by cutting Gregory, A. Wilson, and lose a bit on T. Wilson. They might keep A. Wilson to see what he can do in camp but Gregory might not be worth the expense and T. Wilson is a why BB why pick in the 2nd. I would go early on the SS end and grab Reynolds. Reynolds is a very smart SS with great instincts. I expect him to move up in the board possibly past the 25th pick but as it stands right now that's about where his value is. He would be a good fit next to McCourty moving forward and should help stabilize the back end of the scondary with Harmon as main backup
2nd round - Daniel McCullers DT/NT Tenn
With the Wilfork injury and Kelly being a question mark after last game it's beyond nesseciary to get a good sized DT/NT player. I love McCullers size and skill set. He's having an off year so far but I see 1st round potential and helpfully his off year continues to give us a chance to grab him in the 2nd. I see him much like I did Phil Taylor who later exploded during his last college year and flew up draft boards. To me McCullers is a guy I want to take over Wilforks role in the future
3rd round - CJ Fiedorowicz TE Iowa
CJ is an overall TE. A very solid blocker with some good catch ability that seems to be getting better with each year. He'll never be a Gronk or Hern but he most certainly is a Hooman upgrade and would be a very solid #2 TE overall
4th round - Travis Raciti DT San Jose State
This one might have some heads scratching but this kid has a ton of potential as an interior rusher. If we are going DT I want to double dip with one big body and one high potential pass rusher and Raciti fits that role. He's about 300lbs with 5.1 speed and great hand movement resulting in 8.5 sacks from the inside last year. He could be a nice guy to develop for a couple years
5th round - Brandon Thomas G/C Clemson
I was going to go with Lowery a G who is hampered by injures this year and is from Rutgers (seems like an instant BB pick right?) but Lowery and Schiano butted heads so I doubt that BB would want him. Instead Thomas is a solid already blocker who needs some work but the potential is their in a zone blocking scheme with the ability to flex from G to C
6th round - Chuckie Keeton QB Utah State
Here is where BB wishes he can redraft Brady but sadly that day is done however, Keeton coming from a smaller school reminds me a lot of Brady in the preyears. Makes very good decisions with the ball, has a good pocket presence, and is very accurate with the ball. I am in no way saying he's Brady but with Mallett maybe having a year left with the team this kid might be worth a good look.
7th round - Random CB from Rutgers
I'm not even going to bother attempting this one. There is no shot BB doesn't try to grab a CB and Rutgers seems like as good a place as any in the 7th
But Eng you may ask, where are the WR's or an earlier CB? Well my friends how I think about it, this year seems like a 06' year for the WRs so I expect them to go out and sign a FA or two to fill that role. I also envision them attempting to resign Talib but maybe going the FA route with a CB again after it appears they can't draft a CB to save their lives, unless he happens to punch a cop. LB and most of the OL I can't see them going early or even late for the LB nor can I see them going RB unless to get a kick returner/punt returner/gunner. Really I'm locking in on DT, SS, and Te as the biggest areas of need with depth needed to develop at QB, OG/C, and CB. The DE's seem fine as do the T's.
So that's my way to early draft this year lets see how I do after the combine as I expect a couple of these names to shoot up the boards and will have to be removed (because BB won't trade up) and be replaced later.I swear by lil 10 pound bearded baby Jesus

PatsEng, good stuff ^. We agree on team needs (DT, SS, TE). I like Fiedorowicz alot. Raciti sounds interesting, I'll have to check him out

Oregon TE Colt Lyerla, a potential Rd 1 pick when the season started, has withdrawn from school.
Kid is a fr!gg1n headcase, IMO... first he makes idiotic comments about Sandy Hook, then questions his coach publically... I hope BB/NC stay far, far away from this moron.
EDIT: Just saw Homecheese's post... sorry for the duplicate.

Bama S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix has been "suspended indefinitely" for accepting $500 from a Tide Assistan S&C coach. I love how these "suspensions" always seem to line up with the weakest team on the schedule.
1) The kid can play
2) Yes... it does appear that suspensions on big teams line up with the weak part of the sched
Def, might be the best S available in this class.

In response to JohnHannahrulz's comment:
Liked AJ from the get go. Considerably less of a knucklehead than Manziel and will continue to face excellent competition. Just looks very mature both as a player and person. Still see Bridgewater and Mariotta (if he can continue to pile up great stats) as ahead of McCarron. Where does McCarron fall in the draft I could see 15-25 as his potential landing spot, however he could also be a late 2nd rounder if Boyd is on the board. Where do think Mc Carron lands MB???
If the Pats draft Mc Carron there will be awesome catfights in luxury boxes (Giselle and Webb and Krafts GF). PPV-worthy.
I think you could potentially see as many as (10) QB's with Rd 1/Top 64 grades (list below in no particular order)... I see McCarron as a solid Rd 2 kid (Top 40-50) with Rd 1 upside. You may not see all (10) declare, but this could be one of the deepest QB drafts that we've seen in a long, long time.
Bridgewater- Lousiville
Hundley- UCLA
Mariota- Oregon
Boyd- Clemson
McCarron- Alabama
Gardner- Mich
Manziel- Tex A&M
Morris- Miami
Fales- SJSU
Murray- Georgia
You may want to drop Fales off your list. I now have seen two of his games. Unless he improves dramatically, he won't be picked even in the second or third.
On both games, I saw him consistently struggle throwing screen passes. It's hard to imagine a QB struggle with that but he does going either direction. Not sure if related, but he also seems to not connect on plays that rely heavily on timing. Not accurate enough on short and mid-range passes, for my taste.
He can throw a nice long ball.

Catching up ons ome college games on the DVR. Now watching ARIZONA @ WASHINGTON.
I find it interesting that Sefarian Jenkins is not being thrown to much.
UW's Sankey (RB) - Someone mentioned him earlier. I think it was MB. He is a player. I know the Pats is set at RB. I am just acknowledging here the post on Sankey.
Two of UW's defesnive players look interesting and they probably won't shoot up the draft boards.
UW DT Danny Shelton (6'1", 325): He played like he can stop Arizona's run game all by himself.
UW CB Marcus Peters (5'11", 193): Good cover skills and reliable tackler; got called for PI for getting in contact with his receiver a tad early. Otherwise solid game.
ARI CB Shaquille Richardson (6'1", 186): If he keeps up his play, watch out. This kid will shoot up to the second day of the draft at least.
Believe it was Godverment that mentioned Sankey... good player... I've heard the comps to forward Huskie Napoleon Kaufman (loved him as a kid).
I'm gonna give Shelton a look... certainly has the girth that BB likes in his interior players.

This is my current Pats draft wish list updated - given team needs, players with up big side and those likely available in the respective round:
1. DT - Johnson, LSU (May pick Sutton or even Hagman, Minn if availalbe. all worthy)
2. SS - Bailey, USC (I would rather have a S that can also play OLB then a Rugby player who can't play safety) Loston, LSU would be my alternative pick
3. TE - Fiedorowicz, Iowa; Lynch, Georgia; or Grimble, USC (in that order. good size 6'5")
4. OG - Long, Neb; or Filo, UCLA (6'5" 320. would like to get Grory, but likely gone. maybe I take Grory in the 3rd and hope one of the above TEs are still availalbe in 4 or trade up.)
5. WR - Street, Pitt (6'3", 192 speed, schmeed. dude is smart, gets open and catches the ball)
6. and 7. Take another gamble with another character issue (Denard) or injured player (Cannon). Maybe WR Mitchell, Georgia will enter the draft and/or TE Lyerla will still be available?

[/QUOTE]I think it's deep enough we could get a good one to develop in the mid rounds so this might be a good one to get one, if we want to develop them for 2-3yrs down the road. Otherwise it might be better to wait till 2015 and use a 1st in a Rogers type situation as the lower teams will fill up on QB's in this draft and let a good one or two fall in 2015

[/QUOTE]I don't get how BB makes his draft decisions, so I will only respond with what I would want them to do, not what I think they will do.
I think 2014 is absolutely the year to draft a QB. The depth is like no other year. Take a look at this list of QBs who could come out.
Mettenberger - His improvement from last year has been impressive
Some of them are definitely first rounders. Whether the others on that list are first rounders will be debatable, but they are pretty close to it. Yet, I can't believe all of those QBs will be taken in the first round. A good QB will be available in the second, maybe the third.
Below that list are QBs who would make good value on the third day...
And those are just the QBs I have seen play this year.
I am not sure anyone's going to be there in 2015. Maybe FSU's QB? Is he elligible in 2015?

And I even forgot about Hogan, who definiteiy belongs in the first list above!
I think it's jst going to be a case of supply > demand. Here's my list of teams who might take a QB (not considering what might happen in FA). Even if the team takes a QB, it's hard to tell if they will take it in the first.
JAX - Certain
TBB - Almost certain
ARI - Palmer is old and has not done anything; behind him are Stanton and Lindley
OAK - Pryor seems to be serviceable; I don't think the team will miss a chance to take an upgrade
MIN - I actually have not seen Ponder in a year. I am guessing though that FO is not holding their breath for him. Ponder was not taken last year. FO will be open to try picking up an upgrade.
PHI - Vick's career in PHI is probably nearing end; Do they think Foles will lead them to salvation? Kelly may have a shot at one of Manziel, Hundley, Boyd, Mariota.
CIN - Maybe they go for an upgrade
Beyond that, we're talking about
PIT - Do they start thinking about grooming BR's heir apparent?
STL - They gotta be starting to think Bradford will not take them anywhere
DET - They could be thinking Stafford will not take them anywhere
SDC - I am in SD a lot. People there still think Rivers can be the guy of they have the OL.
I am thinking one of Mettenberger, Hogan or Murray will be available in the late second.

I read the Jaguars and Steelers GM's are going to be attending Louisville vs Rutgers tonight. No suprise with the Jaguars but thought the Steelers was interesting. Though it could be just them doing their homework on Bridgwater and nothing more. Or checking out someone else. Just wqanted to pass this along.

Morning Boys!
Like most, I'd anticipate BB addressing the DT position this off season as VW isn't getting any younger and will be coming back from his achilles injury and while Tommy Kelly isn't out for he season, he too is nursing a knee injury... though I am intrigued to see what they get from Joe Vellano and Chris Jones (a kid I was pretty high on pre-draft last season).
With that said, I've started researching potential DT/NT fits and stumbled on a kid that would look pretty good in a Patriots uniform.
Beau Allen (6-3 325) Wisconsin is your typical Badger, blue collar mauler... very strong at the point, can eat the double, good explosion out of his stance and is a high effort kid, moving better than I thought he would. He's not some that's going to throw up huge sack #'s, but he does what you need him to do, occupy space/blockers. He's prob a mid/late Day 3 kid at this point, but I like him... not to mention the long hear and beard, haha.
posted at 10/12/2013 10:23 AM EDT
DaQuan Jones (6-3 333) Penn State is another DT that'll likely be on BB/NC's radar and they'll get all the info they need from BO. He's more athletic than Beau Allen and has more upside/potential as a pass rusher... he's also strong at the POA, can occupy the double and gives a solid effort. Looks like a late Day 2 type kid.

In response to maine12's comment:[QUOTE]
What a good Saturday with some very good games. I spent the entire day catching up on draft info. Here is some interesting things that Ive come away with.
Will Sutton needs to recognized on this board. This kid is a absolute beast in the middle. It pretty clear to me that if this defense wants to keep going in the right directing they need to keep creating pass rush to get after the qb. He may be a little under sized but he packs a punch. He heads up a guard and and he can straight dominate them, he also has the ablity to move to 3-4 DE which is a reason that he would be a great fit for the Pats. Check out any game he has played this year or last and he clearly stands out, always makes a key play in a game. He is also one bad mother f*cker, thats what this defense needs.
Domineque Easley will be the best second or third rounder taken. I have watched him every game before he tore his ACL and he was the best DL, in college football. Better production than Clowney. Would be a grea fit for NE because the ability to play anywhere on the line in a 4-3 and also could play 3-4 DE.
If anyone watched the Wisconsin game vs Ohio St saw Teddy Bruschi playing. I mean CHRIS BORLAND. Thsi kid was outstanding in that game. Also undersized but he made plenty of stops against Ohio State the best one coming near the goal line and RB Carlos Hyde(6ft 240lbs) had an open hole and boom Borland met him head on and stood him straight up. It wasn't his only good play of the game but it defenantly made me say out laud "wow".
Another kid who deserves to be on the radar is Deone Bucannon. Hes worth a late round pick. Is an absolute thumper at the SS position. Good become a very solid late round pick. I always like a guy with great range and puts the fear into a WR. I only watched him last night but he was all over the place and taking great routes to the ball. Having a hard time finding enough video on him but last night he looked to be a beast coming forward and making tackles. The announcer said he was the hardest hitting safety he has seen this year and they showed some (valid)video proof but I couldn't find any.
[/QUOTE]I'm with you on Borland... plays the game as hard as anybody and just makes plays all over the field... he reminds me of a thicker Zach Thomas... sure his height isn't ideal.... but he's 240-250 and build like a Sherman Tank, so I wouldn't have any worries about him holding up long term. I'd love to see him end up in Foxboro... with few of his teammates (DT Beau Allen / WR Jared Abbrederis)!
posted at 10/14/2013 2:27 PM EDT
I'll be curious to see what VT CB/S Antone Exum is able to do this season. He's exactly the type of defender that teams need for today's NFL... kid is a big (6-1 225), athletic, physical defensive back (played both CB and S) with good speed and quicks that is able to man up against the bigger, more athletic flex type players. He can be overly physical at times, which can get him in trouble with the refs, but I love his all around skill set and ability to make plays on/strip the football.
He hasn't played this season after tearing some knee ligaments in January, playing pickup basketball I believe, but he's a kid with Top 50/Rd 1 upside, IMO... I like him a lot.

ND DE Stephon Tuitt will return for his senior year... great news dor me, as an ND fan!

In response to mbeaulieu07's comment:[QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]Well that's one big boy who's off the board. There's not many of them coming out for the 2014 draft.
The other day, I got to see UCLA vs CAL. I am really intrigued with DeAndre Coleman.
ESPN lissts him at 315. He looks bigger than he's listed. But he is athletically built. He does not look fat.
I find it hard to assess him. They do not have a lot of play makers on that D. The opposing run game seems to just avoid him. When within his reach, he does make plays. With what I've seen, I like him. Hard to explain.
posted at 10/17/2013 11:01 AM EDT
So who does everyone think BB will trust in the college coaches ranks this year around? I'm going with Penn. I think Rutgers connection might have run dry last year as most of Scha's guys were taken by BB and the new draft class doesn't have strong connections to BB's coaching tree. I'm not looking at Florida again but one interesting note might be Ohio with the Vrable connection. Ohio and Penn state might be the most likely mid-late round runs for the Pats this year

Topics and speakers for the April Design Viewpoints Series include:
Noon, Sunday, April 21
What Price Is Right?
How do you bill for your goods and services as an interior designer without overcharging, or worse, undercharging? Designers struggle with that question as they work to balance their hard costs with payment for their intellectual property, creativity and most importantly, experience. A panel of principal designers from various companies throughout the U.S. and Canada will discuss what they have found to be the best options for their businesses, including new ideas that can aid you in getting optimal dollars for the goods and services you provide. The panel, led by Decor Mentor founder Lisa Ferguson, includes designers Jennifer Brouwer, Kati Curtis, Lisa Kahn and Elaine Williamson. 0.1 CEU Credit
Noon, Monday, April 22
The Devil in the Details
No one wants a cookie-cutter house, but rather a home full of personality and style. All the Best founder and editor Ronda Carman leads a panel of renowned designers in a lively discussion of how they bring their design aesthetics into their own homes, and how designers can add details and touches that will give clients' homes individuality and flair. Panelists include Barry Dixon, Celerie Kimble and Amanda Nisbet. Book signings will follow for Carman's new book, Designers at Home: Personal Reflections on Stylish Living, and for Nisbet's book, Dazzling Design. 0.1 CEU Credit
Noon, Tuesday, April 23
From Inspiration to Compensation
Famed Hollywood interior designers Jaime Rummerfield and Ron Woodson, of Woodson & Rummerfield's House of Design, are known not only for their fabulous design viewpoint, but also for stepping out of the design box. Besides designing for celebrity clients, the dynamic duo has branched out into their own online shop, a furniture line, their book High Style, showroom design for Stanley Furniture and more. They will discuss how they did it, and how you can turn your inspiration into ideas that bring you compensation. 0.1 CEU Credit

HERE'S A LETTER TO THE EDITOR from a recently returned Iraq vet. Like many other such letters, it says that thngs are much better there than media reports suggest.
I tend to believe that -- things are better almost everywhere (except Cuba) than media reports suggest., But as I've said before, the biggest problem with the Iraq reporting isn't that it's too negative, though it is, it's that it doesn't tell us what we need to know. The CERP issue, for example, was probably the most important single thing going on last summer/fall but it got very little attention from the media. Likewise, the big media were slow to follow up on Zeyad's war-crime scoop. And I ran an email regarding problems at the CPA that haven't been addressed by big media much, but that are quite important if they're as bad as my reader suggests.
Despite last week's hysteria, which made factional fighting -- ugly but limited -- out to be a massive popular uprising, it's clear that the real issues in Iraq are political, not military. Is our government doing a good job? It's hard to tell. And the tendency, knowing that the media are overplaying some negatives, is to apply Kentucky windage and assume that things in general are better than they say. This may be true, but it may also be true (as the above examples suggest, and as I've noted before on multiple occasions) that there's not just good news, but bad news, going unreported.
That's especially unfortunate, because good reporting doesn't just inform ordinary folks like us. It's also a check on reports that flow up within the chain of command, making sure that real problems get noticed and not papered over. I'm afraid that the White House, understandably tired of the unrelenting negativity that has given us the Brutal Afghan Winter of 2002, the Invasion-Killing Sandstorm of 2003, and the Mass Popular Uprising of 2004, may have started tuning out negative reports.
That would be a mistake, and here's one that shouldn't be tuned out: Jordan's King Abdullah is worried about increasing chances for civil war in Iraq: "Six months ago, I didn't think it was a possibility. I still don't think it is, but for the first time we're nervous."
He's unimpressed with the de-Baathification program, which he says has turned many people in to malcontents unnecessarily. Is he right? I don't know (though this echoes, in some ways, concerns raised by Chief Wiggles many months ago). But it's the kind of thing people ought to be thinking about, and the kind of thing I'd like to see reporting on. The blogosphere has been carrying more than its share of the load on this stuff, and it's not really something that blogs are ideally suited for. Big media can do it better -- if they want to, and if they bother to.

Pamela Anderson to Sarah Palin: Suck It!by Hilton Hater at .
Pamela Anderson isn't exactly as thoughtful or well-spoken as Matt Damon when it comes to her disdain for Sarah Palin.
But the former Baywatch star is a lot more direct.
As the video below and the quote above prove, Anderson doesn't think Palin is the ideal choice for Vice President:
Can Palin suck it? We're not about to go there.
But anyone that has seen Pamela Anderson nude on tape with Tommy Lee and/or Bret Michaels certainly knows this busty blonde can perform that act.

Guys, dont work your right hands out))
Good luck!
... a new nationwide survey of Americans 18 years old and older conducted by Responsive Management of Harrisonburg, Virginia, shows that 93% of Americans support hunting and fishing.
Hollywood is a very small part of America, yet they seem to believe that they are the only America that matters. Get a clue. The majority of us are NOT vegans, or Peta activists, so please don't act as if there is no other NORMAL way of thinking, it's very offensive. Tolerance goes both ways.
Pam - shut up you dumb ignoric slut... right from SNL. The pumped up and blown up procedures have gone right to your head....JUST AIR! Palin is the real deal! An intelligent mother with a beautiful family and able to handle a career and family balance. You have no clue about actual politics or government. You need to keep your pumped up mouth shut.
anderson is a tired looking old hag, no brains to speak of, calling jessica simpson a whore and a bitch, hahahahahha, takes one to know one. although i dont think simpson is a whore, youve got it down on that role.
youre obviously jealous of Sarah Palin, and your obviously stupid, youre not sexy or good looking. but you can keep trying. your poor kids. youre truly a lousy mother.
keep coming out with comments like that and you will get it right back at ya!
LMAO! Pam Anderson telling Sarah Palin to "suck it"?
Is it just me or does anyone else find it truly hysterical that these words are coming from a pinhead blond bimbo whose only real claim to fame IS sucking it in an infamous video that you can download online? I guess there IS poetic justice after all!

Plus one volleyball begins like a regular game of volleyball. The receiving team must play the ball twice on their side before returning it over the net.

Play continues in this fashion with each side passing it amonst themselves one more time than the last. In this game, only the serving team is allowed to score a point. This is a great activity to really focus on controlled passing and on not just trying to get the ball over the net to score a point.

Do it all yourself or have the class watch and learn with the video.
The upbeat song "I Like to Move It" from the movie Madagascar is just the ticket! Get your younsters up and moving.

After finishing the robot story, perhaps expand the experience by having the class move like a washing machine or a bug!

Let little dancers choreograph a dance using steps they have learned in the unit. Write the names of the dance steps that have been taught on sets of index cards. Make sure that each set of cards you create has a mix of the dance steps. You could even write out the directions on the back sides. Children can arrange the cards in order of how they want to perform the steps. A suggestion would be to have a list of 10-12 appropriate songs from which they could also choose.

Hello, I've spent there 2 nights for the first of the year. Even if the location of the hotel was good, (almost centre), the double room i booked (on the forth floor) was really small, it smelled bad when we came in each time, he smelled of old room and old carpet.. the carpet wasn't clean at all, and also the carpet on the stairs was really old and uncleaned..the bathroom was so small that you couldn't move in there and the hot water from the shower didn't come out properly.
