Once a Month Cooking for June
That's my best friend. I love her. She has nothing to do with once a month cooking.
The last time we did OAMC was back in April. You can check it out here. My review of last month.
Breakfast: some things the kids got tired of not because they were bad but they just were tired of them. The pigs in blanket did not work out for being reheated so I can't recommend them.
Lunches were fine as usual.
Dinners: The best dinners were the salmon, shrimp orzo bake and the creamy spaghetti. The chicken stroganoff was pretty gross. Coconut Curry chicken was ok for dinner but difficult to eat all the leftovers. Pulled pork was good. The spanish rice in the porkchop bake was tasteless. I'd rcommend going with a precooked batch of Spanish rice mix and doing that.
Once a month cooking keeps evolving. Personally I'm sick of the slow cooker. So we're putting that away. I do like the 2 weeks of the same meals a lot better than every week so we're keeping that.
For breakfast this month:
Pancakes + bacon
Scrambled Eggs
Breakfast Cookies
yogurt + granola
breakfast sandwiches (english muffin+canadian bacon+egg+cheese)
banana bread + sausage
I decided the trick to breakfast is for there to be options within the meal plan. So for muffins instead of making one kind, I made about 6. I just used the bags of muffins. I meant to make different kinds of breakfast sandwiches but I forgot to write sausage patties and canadian bacon into our ,list so I ended up with eggs/cheese + bacon or without bacon. I did some on biscuits and some on english muffins.
I used my new pampered chef brownie pan to make banana bread just from a mix. The individual brownie spots bake them into mini loaves, so cute! I also found this recipe to make some different type of breakfast bread so again, there are options. For granola I just buy a box of cereal that looks interesting.
hot dogs
lunch meat
fish sticks
chicken nuggets
pb and j
grilled cheese
mini pizzas
banana/peanut butter roll up
cheesy noodles (ramen+cheddar)
These basically stayed the same besides the new banana and peanut butter roll up.
For this month I'm using another new pampered chef goodie, the deep covered baker. I still haven't used it yet so will have to report how I like it. You can cook dinners in the microwave in this thing. I'm excited.
The first thing we did was cook 2 chickens in Tom's dad's Big Green Egg. We need to cook two more. Tom took all the meat off and put them into baggies to freeze. Each Monday we are doing a different meal using this chicken. Kids are basically eating chicken plain.
Monday: Waldorf Salad
Tuesday: Salmon Burgers we went ahead and made these patties and froze them 4 in each bag
Wednesday: pork tenderloin
ham <- This is in the deep covered baker. Place the butt portion of a ham in the baker. Top with lid. Place in 350 oven for 2 ½ – 3 hours. You may glaze ham in last 30 minutes of cooking with pineapple and brown sugar glaze.
Thursday: Mushroom Pork Chops <- Another deep covered baker
Empty 1 can of cream of mushroom soup into baker. Crush clove of garlic; mix in ¼ cup white wine. Place thick sliced pork chops on top, cover with lid. Bake 325°F for 45 minutes.
Pork tenderloin in the DCB Place pork into Deep Covered Baker, tucking smaller end under to create a uniform thickness. Evenly rub pork with barbecue rub. Cover baker; microwave on HIGH 6-10 minutes, checking temperature at 6 minutes and then at every 2-minute interval or until Pocket Thermometer registers 150°F. Remove baker from microwave; let stand, covered, 10 minutes (temperature will rise to 160°F for medium doneness)
Friday: Chicken Thighs One can of cream of chicken..one can of cream of celery mixed together and then put on bottom of baker… Add rice-a-roni (any flavor) then chicken thighs on top .. Sprinkle the rice-a-roni flavor packet on top of chicken and microwave in the loved DCB for 10minutes uncovered.. Cover and then nuke for another 5 and then check your chicken temp.. I did it again for another 5 after checking it.
Lasagna Add a layer of no-cook lasagna noodles. Sprinkle noodles with some of the reserved parmesan and Monterrey jack cheeses. Add a layer of the filling, using several spoonfuls spread evenly per layer. Repeat sequence of sauce, noodles, cheese and filling. Be sure to finish with the ricotta mixture on top, since it will seal in the cheese and keep it from becoming rubbery in the microwave. Cook 15 minutes on high, then 20 minutes on medium. Top with more parmesan cheese. Let stand 10 minutes
Saturday: Turkey breast Place turkey breast in baker; place 6-8 small red skinned potatoes, halved, around turkey. Add ½ cup white wine and 2 cloves pressed garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with lid. Bake at 350°F for 1-½ hours. Uncover for last 15-20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
Pot roast in DCB Place pot-roast 3-5 pounds into Baker. Add potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, salt and pepper. It isn't necessary to add water. Cover and Bake for 2-3 hours in a 350° F. oven. Use the broth to make gravy to pour over vegetables and roast.
Sunday we are doing leftovers or pizza.
I even did a few desserts in the brownie pan to freeze. You can find a lot of stuff on pinterest. They have some great breakfasts too but of course my kids won't eat mixed up stuff so nixed any sort of casserole or omelet ideas.

Help! Hurricane Harvey survivors!
Please see the following organizations for donations to those affected by Hurricane Harvey:
Excerpt from article by NPR's Pam Fessler:
"… Bob Ottenhoff, president and CEO of the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, has some words of caution for those who want to help. "This is not the time to be donating products or even services," he says. "That's frequently the urge, and most often that is the wrong thing to do. ...With the floods blocking off streets, when warehouses are not available, there's no place for these products — there's no place to store anything, there's no place to distribute anything. And that's going to be the case for some time."
Instead, he says, people should give money to groups they trust, and that have the ability to provide aid where it's needed most."
If there is ever a time of need to help our neighbors, that time is now.

Crocuses planted
1000 purple crocuses were planted today along the verges at Lutus Close along the Stoke Road. Malcolm Smith and two of his colleagues Robin and Duncan from Haverhill Rotary Club joined Peter & Nickie Carpenter (of Clare in Bloom), John Collecott, Roy and Chrissie Williams to plant them. Because there were a few of us, the task was completed within half an hour.
The donated crocuses are Ruby Giant and are part of the campaign organised by Rotary Club worldwide to eradicate polio. Running since 1985, it has almost achieved its aim, the only exceptions being areas of the world classified currently as warzones. The purple signifies the ink dye put on the finger after receiving drops to fight polio.
Crocus 'Ruby Giant' blooms from as early as February: a fabulous display of purple flowers rise above slender, strap-like foliage. The large blooms are supported on sturdy stems, ensuring that they remain upright throughout the flowering period. Like all crocus, this variety will provide valuable nectar for pollinating insects in early spring.
Dog fouling update
7 November 2017
From 1st October St Edmundsbury Borough Council has brought in a new Public Spaces Protection Order for Dogs. The text can be found on our Dog Fouling page.
This applies to every public area of Clare: pavements and footpaths, swards and roads, the Park and the Nuttery, the Playing Field and the Cemetery. Dogs are specifically banned from the Childrens' Playground in the Park and the Westfield Play Area.
This will strengthen the prosecution of offenders. Recently a dog owner in Wickhambrook was fined.
WW1 Commemorations continue – a sad episode at sea
21 September 2017
This Saturday two generations of relatives gathered at the War Memorial in Market Hill in Clare on the 100th anniversary of the death of Victor Bareham.
On the night of 16th September 1917, Victor was a newly posted seaman, aged 21, on the British submarine G9. In foul weather 70 miles off Norway, his commander mistook the destroyer, HMS Pasley for a German U-boat. Two torpedoes were fired: one failed to detonate, the other missed. The Pasley turned on its helm. A signal came from the submarine (probably the commander realised his mistake), but it was too late. Trying to go astern, HMS Pasley rammed G9 and cut it in two. Within a minute, all crew, bar one, were lost.
A nephew, Ronald Bareham attended the commemoration, along with two great-nieces and a great-nephew.
Clare Town Council has been holding these ceremonies on the 100th anniversary of the death of each of the 33 fallen of Clare.
The sinking of the submarine is described more fully in a Wikipedia article.
One consequence of the fatal action was that communication methods were improved; the slow, unreliable and cumbersome arc lamps were replaced with Aldis lamps.
Details of our commemorations may be found here.
Stour Valley Educational Trust
11 September 2017
Once again our Year 11 students have done us proud, achieving the best set of results since the school opened in 2011. 68% of students have achieved a pass grade of Grade 4 in English and Maths, our best achievement to date! Notable achievements include Freya Lambert, Naomi Lawson and Edith Wild, who achieved a grand total of five Grade 9s, three Grade 8s, seventeen Grade A*s and five Grade As between them. We are delighted that all of our students have received recognition for all of their hard work under the very challenging circumstances surrounding the new grading system, and know that they are well prepared and qualified for exciting futures ahead.
These exceptional results place Stour Valley Community School in third place overall among state schools in West Suffolk.
At Clare Primary we are delighted to welcome Mrs Lorna Stranger as Deputy Headteacher alongside our Headteacher Mrs Rebecca Loader.
Comments from Keith Haisman, Chair of the Trustees, Stour Valley Education Trust.

Road name signs in Clare
1 September 2017
Three members of the Traffic group of the Town Council met with a Highways Officer for West Suffolk this morning. Several road name signs have been replaced, following comments from the Town Council, noticeably Ashen Road and Nethergate Street. This morning's meeting considered proposals for additional road signs – example: the entrance to the High Street, and for re-positioning other signs – example: moving the Church Street sign nearer to the corner with Cavendish Road. Problems with clear identification of cul-de-sacs on either side of the Cavendish Road were noted as well as for Mill Road.
Suffolk County Council will be approached with requests to improve the quality and location of several black-on-white highway signs.
Clare in Bloom – into Winter
31 August 2017
The evenings are getting darker, though Summer is still here, but we are planning once more for the Winter.
Across the town, the 23 containers, full of red begonias, have been wonderful. We shall be adding four more containers, two at the Country park gates by the Fire Station and two beside the Platform One Café. We intend to plant naturalised daffodils outside the Café. 500 tulips and pansies have been ordered and will be planted on 11 October – so please clear the containers before then!
Thanks to our many supporters, funds are healthy. We hope to get a renewed grant from Clare Town Council, which will cover our winter costs. The Open Gardens was a success, amply covering expenses. It is unlikely we shall need to raise money in this way until 2019. Although it is enjoyable it is hard work – our thanks to all who opened their gardens, baked cakes and served teas……
We hope to see as many of our parishioners as possible gardening at our monthly Wednesday meets. We would be delighted to welcome new gardeners, especially new Clare residents. Many hands, armed with gloves and tools, make for light work!
The Wednesday Gardening Dates for your diaries are at the Ancient House (except on 11 October when we meet at The Old Manse, next to the Baptist Chapel):
6 September 9 am
4 October 9 am
11 October 9 am
1 November 9.30 am
6 December 9.30 am
Best wishes to all

Saturday Market re-opens in Clare
20 August 2017
After 20 years, a market was opened this Saturday in Clare. At 10am a Town Crier from Thetford officially opened the new market with a few verses celebrating the market dated back before the Normans and now returned, with a stentorious voice and a loud bell. He was followed by words from the Mayor of Bury St Edmunds, Terry Clements, Clare Town Council's leader, Paul Bishop and our local borough councillor, Alaric Pugh. Thanks was given to Sharon Fairweather, market development officer for St Edmundsbury Borough Council.
The stalls occupied either side of the road through to Bucks Lane from Market Hill; many stalls were located in the car park of Wayman & Long – thanks to our local solicitors for use of their facilities and electricity supply!
Among the many stalls were organic vegetables, cheeses, an English distillery, salami & meat products, bread, well being, clothes, pickles, cakes & tarts. crafts…… all the variety of a busy market.
Local traders also contributed: Mr Spencer's Flowers, No 1 Deli and Humphries, as well as the Friends of Clare Library.
The crowds were out for the launch at 10 am, but the market was still busy later in the day.

Stour Valley Community School maintains good Ofsted rating
12 August 2017
The schoo maintained the Good rating that it re
ceived at the previous inspection four years earlier, with inspectors stating there had been excellent progress across all aspects of the school. Students were praised for their achievements in science, mathematics and humanities, in which they performed significantly above the national average, while science subjects were given special mention, described by inspectors as "a beacon of excellence".
Stour Valley headteacher Christine Inchley said: "This was a tough inspection with the inspectors very focused on student progress, disadvantaged students and development of the curriculum. We have been tenacious in developing a wider range of curriculum courses that meets the needs of our growing student population. We continue to be strong in English, art, music, drama, and dance, and our modern foreign languages offering will be enhanced in 2017."
Keith Haisman, chairman of school trustees, added: "I am delighted with the outcome of this inspection. It is external proof of the quality of education that we offer, and I am very proud of the whole team at the school for working so hard to achieve such positive results for our students. I am particularly pleased that the behaviour of our students is confirmed to be outstanding. Their attitude to learning, to each other and to everyone they come into contact with is exemplary, and I am so proud of them."
As reported in Thursday's Suffolk Free Press
Our students in the Park
27 July 2017
You may have missed the recentarticle in the latest Haverhill Echo: Students embrace nature in Clare Castle Country Park study programme
Here's the link. We first reported on the building of a willow structure on the 24th March. The Haverhill Echo photo shows Neil Catchpole and students.
New footbridge near the Nuttery
A new footbridge has been installed across a ditch through a belt of trees close to the western end of the Nuttery, on one of the concessionary footpaths in that area. The heavy materials were provided by David Byford, the landowner and his team. The key builders were Keith Brown and Keith Mison, with Carl Benson, Derek Blake and Phil Gryce in supporting roles (chicken-wire fixing).
The photo (thanks to Keith Brown of the Walks Group) is of four willing testers of the new bridge.
Lottery update central to Park Meeting
13 July 2017
Last night the Clare Castle Country Park Trust held its Annual Meeting in the Park Centre. Attended by some 80 people, the main business, aside from a report on the current healthy finances, was an overview of the Heritage Lottery Fund project. The newly appointed project manager, James Mellish was introduced and he took everyone through the many professional consultants advising the trust as well as many of the features of the bid. James is a very experienced manager of such projects: Burgess and Clissold Parks in London, as well as RSPB Snape, Chatsworth House and Bury St Edmunds Guildhall. We expect to see him frequently in the park over the coming period. Trustees gave further details of the plans with respect to activities for all ages (both large and small), improvement to the ecology, archaeology investigations, walks events, educational programmes……
Members of the audience asked a range of questions that included how the Park could be sustained when the HLF funding ended and what financial support had been received since the Park had been transferred. Geoffrey Bray responded that
- the Trustees were committed to ensuring that the Park would be financially sustainable in the future
- the HLF would not make a grant unless they were convinced that would be the case
- apart from the money promised by Suffolk County Council at the time the Park was transferred, no financial support had been received from Clare Town Council or Suffolk CC.
Overall there was enthusiastic support of the proposals and strong expressions of thanks to the trustees.
There have been three days when the plans have been available (during the Party in the Park and the Priory's Art & Craft Fair). People have been encouraged to discuss them with trustees and consultants and complete feedback forms; some 250 people have viewed the plans. This week's Chevron will enclose an update from the Trust which invites residents to give feedback on the consultation plans. Make sure you have your say.
Note: James Mellish has a website where more of his work can be viewed.
The Swan
10 July 2017

Party in the Park 2017
3 July 2017
The sun shone, the music played and the people came – in their thousands!
An estimated 7,500 people attended the Party in the Park in Clare Castle Country Park on Saturday 1st July. Organised by the Clare Community Association, this event had something for everyone, young and old.
There was a fantastic raffle, tombola, stalls, donkey rides, children's entertainment, wood carving, morris dancing, vintage vehicles, traditional crafts, birds of prey, a hog roast, beer tent etc plus live music from the Drive In's and Jerimiah Marques and the Blue Aces, and much more!
There was lots going on in the arena too, with displays from local organisations and a fun dog show. All in all, a great day out for all the family.
'The Party in the Park was a wonderful success and shows that Clare people are capable of organising events in Clare Country Park without resorting to outside sources': Cllr Chris Marchant. 'Such a great event – and a great big thank you, before, during and after, to all those volunteers': Cllr Phil Gryce. 'What fabulous day. The sun shone on you and your team and very well deserved it was. A great success': Keith Haisman
Watch out for future CCA events in Clare – such as Pumpkins in the Park in October and the lovely Christmas Fair in November!
More pictures are here. Here's a first Thank you to our volunteers and sponsors.
It's a sell out!
The first edition of the new collection of historic photographs of Clare in the 20th century was sold out by May 15th. Robin Stone's large format, heavily illustrated book is being reprinted – order copies fro Harris & Harris bookshop; some of the profits from the cost of £17.99 goes towards the Clare Christmas Lights.
Park bench
This morning a new bench was unveiled in Clare Castle Country Park. It commemorates Harriet Loram who walked her dogs along the New Cut with fellow walkers and who helped found the Friends of Clare Library.
The bench will be found along the southern path along the New Cut from the car park to the weir. It was installed by Cutts & Cousins free of charge.
A group of friends gathered to toast her life and remember her efforts on behalf of the community.
Clare Antiques Centre burglary
16 May 2017
Police are appealing for information after a burglary at a shop in Malting Lane in Clare earlier this morning.
Officers were alerted at 4.50am today, Tuesday 16 May, to reports a black Jeep-style 4×4 vehicle, with a large radiator panel and a bull bar on the front, had been driven into a side door at the shop, triggering an alarm. Police arrived and discovered two cabinets had been smashed open and a quantity of jewellery had been stolen. It's thought at least two men, dressed in dark clothing, were involved and the vehicle appeared to drive off in the direction of Stoke-by-Clare following the incident.
Officers are also looking at whether the crime may be linked to an attempted burglary in Glemsford around 4.25am yesterday, Monday 15 May, where
a 4×4 vehicle was driven at a store in Hunts Hill. Damage was caused to a window and a bollard but no entry was gained to the premises.
Police are asking anyone who may have been in either area around the relevant time who may have seen the vehicle, or anyone with information about the burglary or those involved to call Suffolk Police on 101, quoting crime number 35321/17. Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers, anonymously if required, on 0800 555 111.
Street lighting in Clare
10 May 2017
Over the coming months many of our street lights will be replaced by Suffolk County Council in a rolling programme. They will be LED lights that are clearer than the existing – using much less electricity, better focused – shining on pavements and roads rather than buildings, dimmable – capable of being adjusted at different times. Permission from Planning in St Edmundsbury Borough Council will be sought where necessary.
The main streets affected in this round will be Common Street, Highfield, Snow Hill and Stoke Road. The full list may be found here. The situation is complicated as some lights require a different approach, being placed on power or telephone poles not owned by SCC; in other cases, where attached to listed buildings, other checks and permissions have to be sought. All lights will eventually be replaced.
County Council elections

The menu will offer soup, sandwiches & paninis, jacket potatoes & specials, scones. & cakes………plus teas and coffees from Butterworths in Bury St Edmunds. See Clare Castle Country Park's page for more information.
Clare Community Primary School
13 April 2017
New signs have gone up around the school and in Callis Street reflecting the new relationship between our primary school and the Stour Valley Community School.
The management has moved away from the county council, but for the children their education rolls on, the learning, the fun: here are some photos of the recent Forest School, a six week programme that was run with the help of parents, volunteers and the Clare Castle Country Park Trustees.
A slideshow of more pictures may be found on the Park's website.

Tree work in Clare Castle Country Park continues apace.
Here's Neil Catchpole felling a dead elm up the side of the motte.
Living outdoors!
24 March 2017
Students from Stour Valley Community School, assisted by Neil Catchpole, have begun work on creating a willow structure in the Country Park. The willow boughs & whips were cut from the pollarded trees alongside the moat closest to the motte.
The work is in progress, more will be woven into the frame. As the season progresses, those boughs & whips planted into the ground will root and flourish, making this into a living shelter. We will leave our readers to find it for themselves – just enjoy the walk!
Other work around Clare
The Stour Valley Volunteers have carried out a tremendous clearance along the footpath that goes north from Harp Lane – the muddiest stretch of any footpath in Clare. In one section as seen in the photo on the right they have returned the path to its original line, higher up the field bank, away from a treacherous slippery section.
This path is part of the Stour Valley Long Distance Walk as well as essential for walkers on the Clare-Cavendish trail or the Houghton Hall circular walk – see our Walks website for details
In Clare Castle Country Park, Suffolk County Council have relaid a footpath damaged during bank repairs last year. See our news item from 15 March below.
Red Kite overhead
A red kite was seen flying over Westfield last week. It has an unmistakable silhouette with a forked tail, unlike the buzzard, a more frequent visitor, with a semicircular tail.
It's almost time for the swallows, swifts and martins to appear – perhaps the best sign that spring has sprung!
Cemetery storage
15 March 2017
A new storage facility has been placed in the cemetery in the facility area behind the laurel bushes opposite the chapel, on the left-hand side of the entrance way. It will used to store equipment for our grave digger plus various bulky council possessions such as the temporary road signs used for Memorial Sunday.
Further work in the Park
15 March 2017
The footpath along the New Cut from the car park towards the weir will be closed for a few days while Suffolk County Council make good what was disturbed when they worked on the banks last year.
Work continues apace on the tree-cutting programme announced last year.
Hedging plants have been dug in along the boundary fence of the bowling green. This will make a more attractive edge than the wire.

Housing Fund for East Anglia
5 January 2017
Communities and Local Government have just announced a £9 million boost for the East of England to tackle issues relating to second home ownership and community led housing.
The Government recognise the issues regarding the availability of housing stock in areas where second home ownership is popular. This reduces not only the availability of homes but in some cases development land and opportunities.
Community-led housing will be given a further boost (as announced on 23 December 2016) from a new annual £60 million fund which will help almost 150 councils tackle the problem of high levels of second homeownership in their communities.
The Community Housing Fund will put local groups in the driving seat and help them deliver affordable housing aimed at first-time buyers in response to the problem second homes can cause in reducing supply.
One third of the funding – almost £20 million – will be allocated directly to local authorities in the South West as this is the most popular region for second homes in England. It accounts for 21% of all second homeownership.
Second home ownership in England is at an all-time high and is crowding out first time buyers and causing a shortage of available properties. Often second homes stand empty for a large proportion of the time which can also affect community cohesion, affect the demographics of an area and distort local housing markets.

Parkinson's disease (PD) symptoms can affect mouth, teeth and jaw health, sometimes complicating dental treatment.
- PD-related rigidity In Parkinson's, stiffness of the arms or legs beyond what would result from normal aging or arthritis. Some people call it "tightness" in their limbs., tremor Involuntary shaking of the hands, arms, legs, jaw or tongue. The typical Parkinson's tremor is "pill-rolling" – it looks like holding a pill between thumb and forefinger and continuously rolling it around. Some people report an internal tremor, a shaking sensation inside the chest, abdomen or limbs that cannot be seen. Most Parkinson's tremor is "resting tremor," which lessens during sleep and when the body part is actively in use. and dyskinesiaAbnormal, involuntary body movements that can appear as jerking, fidgeting, twisting and turning movements; frequently caused by dopaminergic medications to treat Parkinson's. can make it hard to brush one's teeth. These symptoms can also cause cracked teeth, tooth wear, changes in the fit and wear of dentures and tooth grinding.
- Symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety A feeling of nervousness, worried thoughts and physical distress. and tremor can make the commute to appointments, sitting still in the dentist's chair or opening the mouth wide challenging.
- Too much saliva can lead to a fungal infection at the corners of the mouth. By contrast, too little saliva or dry mouth increases the risk of cavities.
Tackling Care Challenges
These tips can significantly improve dental visits:
- Call first to make the office aware of your PD symptoms. This will help the dentist and the staff provide better treatment.
- Schedule wisely. Plan short dental appointments for the time of day your symptoms are most effectively controlled.
- Give the dentist the details of your overall health. Someone on staff should record vital signs upon arrival.
- Tell the dentist if you are taking MAO-B inhibitors (rasagiline and selegiline), as these may interact with anesthetics.
- Consider replacing old fillings, crowns and bridges and ill-fitting dentures or mouth guards during the early stages of PD. Dental visits may become more difficult as PD progresses.
Costs and Resources
The best way to control the cost of dental care is to prevent problems from developing. Regular care can help.
- Some commercial health plans have a dental benefit.
- Medicare does not cover dental care, although some Medicare Advantage plans offer a limited benefit.
- Dental coverage for adult Medicaid recipients varies by state.
- Most Federally Qualified Health Centers have a dental department. Fees are adjusted based on income for those who qualify.
- Free dental care is available in some areas. The Donated Dental Services program is offered through the nonprofit Dental Lifeline Network.

Met a chick last night and sorry I don't have an disater story because it went pretty well I think.
5 Comments:
Can we have some more details to this story?
By 3:11 PM, at
No real story to tell. I wasn't a nrevous nelly and she was pretty cool that's about all I have. I did make better clothing choices this time rather then a soccer jersey like the last time. It was good times all around. Just have to wait and see how it goes now.
I love how your successful endeavor is looked on as a negative here, as you feel you can't bring the goods on a story.
There's got to be some sort of disaster to get any material out of it really.
I wish you luck, I wish you joy, I wish you a bouncing baby boy!

Factors Affecting Participation In Post-Compulsory Education Conference
Friday 19th March 2004, 2.30-5.30pm
Venue: Centre for Economic Performance
Conference room R405, 4th Floor, 10 Portugal Street, London, WC2A 2HD
This conference is the second in a new series of six conferences on the economics of education, again funded by the ESRC. The topic of this conference will be factors affecting participation in post-compulsory education.
Pedro Carneiro (University College London) on Credit Constraints, Ability and Access to Higher Education.
Patricia Rice (Southampton University) will focus on participation immediately following the completion of compulsory schooling in the UK. She will use Youth Cohort Study data to examine regional differences in participation rates, focusing in particular on the ability of Local Education Authority level factors such as average expenditures and pupil-teacher ratios to explain such differences.
Download Paper
Jo Blanden (Centre for Economic Performance, London School of Economics) will consider to what extent family background characteristics, in particular family income, can explain the decision to participate in post-compulsory education. The two participation decisions considered by the previous presentations, namely at age 16 in post-compulsory education and university attendance, are both considered in this paper, allowing family income to have differential impacts on the two decisions.

Полное название книги - Writing for emotional impact Advanced Dramatic Techniques to Attract, Engage, and Fascinate the Reader from Beginning to End.
Уже на первых страницах автор заботливо предупреждает читателей, что не стоит браться за эту книгу, если вы любите смотреть кино, а то вам откроются такие тайны, и такая изнанка процесса, что вы будете знать слишком много, и все это will demystify what you see on the screen.
И ведь не обманул. Действительно в книге много очень полезных советов по написанию киносценариев (кстати, многие из них вполне годятся и для написания любых художественных книг). Рекомендуется не просто прочитать ее как пособие и отложить в сторону, но держать в качестве настольной и обращаться к ней как можно чаще.
Alfred Hitchcock, the master of suspense and audience manipulation, once said to writer Ernest Lehman, while they were filming North by Northwest, "We're not making a movie; we're making an organ, like in a church. We press this chord, the audience laughs. We press that chord, and they gasp. We press these notes and they chuckle. Someday, we won't have to make a movie. We'll just attach them to electrodes and play the various emotions for them to experience in the theatre."
Hollywood buys and sells emotional experiences. Therefore, if you want to become a successful screenwriter you must create emotional experiences in your scripts.
"Art is fire plus algebra." –Jorge Luis Borges
If you love the "magic" of movies, put this book back on the shelf. This book offers advanced techniques that will demystify what you see on the screen.
Ernest Hemingway once said, "When you first start writing, you never fail. You think it's wonderful. You think it's easy to write and you enjoy it very much, but you're thinking of yourself, not the reader. He doesn't enjoy it very much. Later, when you have learned to write for the reader, it's no longer easy to write."
Writers who write by instinct, who know what works and what doesn't because they have,
as Hemingway says, "a built-in shit detector."
"Always grab the reader by the throat in the first paragraph, send your thumbs into his
windpipe in the second, and hold him against the wall until the tagline." –Paul O'Neil
"A movie is a success or failure from the moment you solidify your сoncept. Execution is fifty percent. It is the primal attachment to the concept that makes the movie work or not."
–George Lucas
Most screenwriting students are no doubt aware of Jeffrey Katzenberg's internal memo to executives while he was at Disney. It's quoted in many screenwriting books and seminars because it preaches the following: "In the dizzying world of movie making, we must not be distracted from one fundamental concept: the idea is king. If a movie begins with a great, original idea, chances are good it will be successful, even if it is executed only marginally well. However, if a film begins with a flawed idea, it will almost certainly fail, even if it is made with 'A' talent and marketed to the hilt." The Los Angeles Times also quoted Katzenberg a few years ago, when he said, "Hollywood is about the marriage of art and commerce—with the accent on commerce. European filmmaking is about art. Period."
12 ways to increase your idea's appeal
1. Find the unique hook in your story.
2. What's the worst thing that happens to your
3. Contrast characters (odd couples).
4. Contrast environment and character (fish out of
5. Add a second idea to the mix.
6. Change traditional story elements.
7. Reverse predictable plots.
8. Create an interesting inciting event.
9. Take it to the extreme–the ultimate (blank) from hell.
10. Emphasize or add a time limit.
11. Emphasize a setting, arena, world (behind the scenes).
12. Make the concept an interesting dilemma.
"Art is a microscope which the artist fixes on the secrets of his soul and shows to people these secrets which are common to all."
-Leo Tolstoy
Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth. -Albert Camus
"The whole thing is you've got to make them care about somebody."
-Frank Capra
"No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise for the writer, no surprise for the reader."
-Robert Frost
"Screenwriting is like fashion. All clothes have the same structure. A
shirt has two sleeves and buttons, but not all shirts look alike."
-Akiva Goldsman
"Screenplays are carefully written and ordered in such a way that the audience has no choice but to feel exactly what the writers want them to feel."
-F. Scott Fitzgerald
"Good dialogue illuminates what people are not saying."
-Robert Towne
Well-crafted dialogue sells scripts, and it sells the writer. Talented scribes who excel in this area are highly sought-after to the tune of six figures per week for dialogue rewrites.
That said, however, dialogue is not as important as character development or structure because you're not writing a play. Screenwriting is mostly about what you see, not hear. You're writing motion pictures, not visual radio. Silent movies were doing fine without much dialogue for twenty years before sound changed the industry. William Goldman says that dialogue "is among the least important parts of a screenplay… if movies are story, and they are, then screenplays are structure." Alfred Hitchcock said, "Once the picture is set, we add the dialogue."
Director John Lee Hancock once said, "Good actors want fewer words, and bad actors want more words."
In John Brady's book The Craft of the Screenwriter, Paddy Chayefsky offers the following advice for crafting great dialogue: "I write laboriously worked-out dialogue… because I know what I want my characters to say. I envision the scene; I can imagine them up there on the screen; I try to imagine what they would say and how they would say it, and keep it in character. And the dialogue comes out of that. I think that goes for every writer in the world. Then I rewrite it. Then I cut it. Then I refine it until I get the scene as precisely as I can get it."
Write it, rewrite it, cut it, hone it, refine it, and polish it until it shines enough to
blind the reader.
"I hear and I forget; I see and I remember; I do and I understand."
-Chinese Proverb

ELE-BOX performs as amazing as it looks
by Dec 5, 2016 7:11 am6
We have already learned many things about the Elephone Ele-Box, the Bluetooth speaker from Elephone. But most of the information are about its design. A design that is objectively beautiful. The manufacturer claims that it isn't all about the design. It is build quality and performance as well. This is apparent not only in the latest mobile devices of the company , but also in the Ele-Box.
Ele-Box is the first Bluetooth speaker of the company and it's made with double color injection around the box, soft to touch, providing wonderful feeling. It comes with a 1000mAh battery,which can support 6 hours of continuous playback. The main feature of the BOX is fresh style as it's not just a mini speaker to listen to your music. It is also a piece of art which will fit well in your home as it serves as a decorative too.
Hopefully, soon enough we will get the chance to test one ourselves so that we can determine the sound quality it offers.
More details will be available soon on Elephone.hk

Abby Appelt (president of BlingToGo and owner of Out Of The Box Thinking, LLC) helps heal people by lifting their spirits. Her ornamental wraps return to ailing people some control of their lives, by helping them turn their institutional medical equipment into a fashion statement.
The Need
Finding herself on crutches for the fourth time, Ms. Appelt decided to cheer up herself and her commiserating friends by decorating her crutches. The warm response and good feeling she received led her to explore ways of extending that benefit to others. Why settle for decorating crutches when you can also beautify bed rails, canes, IV poles, hospital tables and trays, and walkers?
The Solution
A nurse told Ms. Appelt that any ornamental wrap used in a hospital would have to be sanitizable and removable, easily and without leaving a residue on the equipment. So she looked for and found a suitable commercially available fabric coated with pressure-sensitive adhesive. She hired a graphic artist to design decorative patterns based on ClipArt and found two printers to print chemical-resistant designs on the fabric – one to manufacture up to 2,000 items per week, and another to fulfill larger orders. The nurse tested the wraps in a hospital for free and found that patients liked them. The wraps made medical equipment uniquely attractive and less frightening.
Product Development can be costly, but Ms. Appelt showed us how to save money.
Even though her designs, like all eligible works, automatically received copyright protection the moment they were created and fixed in a tangible form, Ms. Appelt decided to register them as a group with the Copyright Office. She read a simple tutorial, filled out a registration form, and filed it with a $50 fee payment. Registration gave her the option of suing any infringer and became prima facie evidence of her copyright. Although no international copyright exists that could protect her designs throughout the world, the
U.S. has reciprocal agreements with most
countries ( ,
for example) for enforcing copyrights. Canada
Ms. Appelt hired an attorney to file a provisional patent application for her invention. That bought her time to identify her market and to determine whether that market would likely return enough profit to justify a more expensive nonprovisional patent application and patent. Her attorney also helped her to increase her business assets by creating a legal entity that will own any patent that issues.
Legalzoom.com offers an economical way to get a trademark, but be sure to closely monitor your application.
Elevator Pitch
You have to be your own champion if you want your business to succeed. A workshop at Eureka Ranch helped Ms. Appelt realize the value of an elevator pitch (a 30 second explanation of her wrap for people she meets). A pitch doesn't cost anything and can open unexpected windows of opportunity. She suggested preparing slightly different variations for different audiences and trying out the pitches on strangers.
Public Relations
Starting a business requires a lot of work (12 hour days in Ms. Appelt's case) and lasts about 3 years. Rather than spend time learning and practicing the intricacies of public relations (press releases, magazine and newspaper articles, social networking, radio interviews, etc.), she hired a professional (Rachel Jackson) to start and maintain a lively public conversation about her wrap.
Web Site
Likewise, Ms. Appelt delegated the design and maintenance of her profitable commercial website to a professional (Jerri Coverstone). Why spend your time worrying about domain names, keywords, and Google's 200 factors for ranking a website when so much else needs to be done? She noted that meaningful links to and from a website contribute to its rank. So find websites related to yours by typing key words into the Alexa website, and then ask the website owners to exchange website links with you.
Revenue Sharing
Revenue sharing (rewarding another business for bringing you sales) helps Ms. Appelt turn potential competitors into partners. This form of marketing is efficient – its cost is directly related to resulting sales. She displays her wraps on medical equipment sold by another, and that person displays her medical equipment wrapped in Ms. Appelt's designs. Each pays the other for referred customers. She also uses affiliate marketing (an internet version of revenue sharing) to increase her profits. She earns a commission each time someone follows a link from her website to a partner's website and buys there. In turn, she pays a commission for sales on her website that originate at a partner's website. Win/Win – how great is that?
Ms. Appelt bought barcodes (patterns of bars and spaces of varying width that represent data and can be read by machines) to help track her inventory and to show the business world that she manufactures and sells. She paid only $20 apiece by buying the barcodes from a reseller who has no annual barcode renewal fees (because the UCC, now GS1 US, assigned the barcodes to the reseller before 8/28/02).
Manufacturerrepresentatives.com helped Ms. Appelt create a national network of professional salespeople who sell her wraps in return for only a commission (15% of the wholesale price; this percentage is high because the price of her wrap is low). Job advertizements on this website cost her $30 per month.
Wrap on, Ms. Appelt! Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and methods with us. Best of luck with BlingToGo.
Note: Our secretary, Mr. Robert Brand, recommends the book Inventing for Dummies to new inventors.

Snowy and Cold
Here are some pictures I would like to share. One is my bear that I made along time ago. He is so small. He was my attempt at miniature bears. Another is my picture of "Lend A Hand" on my door. The other one is a tiny stitched ornament that I purchased a long time ago too from a craft shop.
Going to do more stitching. I'll share more another day,

Dear Donna, Congratulations on an exceptional year of wonderful designs! I just love them, as you know. And, thanks so much for your note of well wishes. I'm mending and feel better every day, though it's been a difficult 16 mos. Have a wonderful Christmas with your family and a very warm and peacefilled 2009. Love and hugs, DebReplyDelete
Donna, your bear is awesome. I too, love miniature bears! I always wanted to make one, but it seemed too difficult. Yours is great.ReplyDelete

I feel I should confess to succumbing to temptation and buying a onesie – the adult version of babygro. Well, it was on offer, plus it looked soooo comfy. It is a bit of a guilty pleasure, as I'm far too old for such nonsense but it's definitely cosy! I didn't count on the hazards of needing to empty your bladder though, firstly negotiating your way out of the thing and then accidentally leaving the sleeves dangling behind you… Luckily my weakened-by-childbirth pelvic floor muscles reacted in good time. I have also persuaded my husband into his very first set of pyjamas. What a pair we make. I won't post a photo.
I will however, share my pink birthday card creation for the second of the past weekend's birthday parties!
I made my own card blank again, using two 5×7″ cards and creating 'doors' at the front. I covered the front with pink pearl card. The image is another LOTV mini masterpiece of the image 'Dainty Dancing', put together with die-cut Spellbinders circles and stately circles, layered onto some beautiful silver card punched with Martha Stewart Deep Edge Punch Flower Bed. I had wanted to put the little girl's name on it too but ran out of space. Liquid pearls edged the image beautifully.
And this is how it looks opened up on display:
I would like to enter this card into the LOTV Monthly Challenge – Pink And White.

How To Install Exterior Or Interior Door Knobs
There are some things to consider when riding an old door with a new command. Remove the doorknob. According to Bob Vila, is beneficial to note the direction of the knob rotates when you take it out. Identify that exterior or interior door knobs and lock-set you have. Blocking whole is more than the locking knob. According to Tim Carter, there are two basic types: cylindrical and mortise. Shroud-sets are identifiable by the large required for installation of the box containing the locking cavity.
Identify the type of doorknob she has. There are four basic types according to WiseGeek and interior door knobs are fictitious, keyed knobs, dials and knobs passing privacy. A dummy knob is a knob operation used not just for looks. Key knobs require a key for entry. Passage Knobs have no locks, knobs and privacy are blocking only inside.
12 Photos Gallery of: How to Install Exterior or Interior Door Knobs
Measurements of the door such as the door depth, and the distance between the center of the knob and the door edge. Also measure the hole from which the command was removed. In the oldest houses of this hole is often less than the standard. Take note if the door opens inwards or outwards. This determines if you need a right or left interior door knobs.

Nebraska senior place-kicker and punter Brett Maher earned his second preseason All-America honor on Wednesday, when he was named the place-kicker on ESPN.com's 2012 Preseason All-America team. Earlier this summer, Athlon tabbed Maher as its second-team preseason All-America place-kicker.
In his first season as Nebraska's place-kicker in 2011, Maher connected on 19 of his 23 field goal attempts, including 16-of-17 from inside 50 yards. His 19 field goals ranked second in school history, and Maher also made 43-of-44 PAT attempts. Maher was the first-team All-Big Ten place-kicker last season and was the Bakken-Anderson Big Ten Kicker of the Year. Yahoo.com also tabbed Maher as its first-team All-America kicker last season, and Maher also won the Touchdown Club of Columbus' Vlade Award, presented to the nation's most accurate kicker.
After earning a spot as a Lou Groza Award semifinalist in 2011, Maher is one of 30 preseason candidates for the award again this season. A native of Kearney, Neb., Maher's talents are not limited to kicking the ball between the uprights. The 6-0 senior is also a talented punter, as he is one of 25 preseason candidates named to the Ray Guy Award watch list. Maher is one of only two kickers nationally to be on the watch lists for both the Lou Groza and Ray Guy awards, presented annually to the nation's top place-kicker and punter, respectively.
In his first season as Nebraska's punter in 2011, Maher averaged 44.5 yards per kick, the sixth-highest average in school history. He ranked 10th nationally in punting average and pinned the opponent inside the 20-yard line on 25 of his 59 punts. For his efforts, Maher was a first-team All-Big Ten selection and was the Eddleman-Fields Big Ten Punter of the Year.

PHILADELPHIA and OXFORD, England, July 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adaptimmune Therapeutics plc (Nasdaq:ADAP), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the use of T-cell therapy to treat cancer, today announced that data from its Phase I/II study of its affinity enhanced T-cell receptor (TCR) therapeutic targeting the NY-ESO-1 cancer antigen in patients with multiple myeloma has been published in Nature Medicine. The paper entitled NY-ESO-1 Specific TCR Engineered T-cells Mediate Sustained Antigen-specific Antitumor Effects in Myeloma by Drs. Aaron P. Rapoport, Edward Stadtmauer and Gwendolyn Binder-Scholl et al. describes the persistence and tumor trafficking, antitumor effect and safety profile of Adaptimmune's NY-ESO TCR therapeutic (ADAP NY-ESO TCR) in 20 patients with advanced multiple myeloma. The paper became available through advance online publication on July 20, 2015, and will appear in the August 2015 print edition of Nature Medicine.
This is the first published study of lentiviral vector mediated TCR gene expression in humans. Novel findings include encouraging clinical responses, prolonged duration of persistence of TCR engineered cells and continued expression of the TCR on the cell surface; which is a departure from previously published studies in TCR gene therapy. In addition, high levels of IL-6 were detected, without serious cytokine release syndrome, which is in contrast to the side effects observed with multiple antibody-based CD19 immunotherapeutics to date. Clinical response rates were higher than expected for the patient population enrolled, and evidence supporting the expected mechanism of action of the TCR engineered cells was found.
"We believe these are significant data for Adaptimmune and for the cancer gene therapy field," commented Dr. Rafael Amado, Adaptimmune's Chief Medical Officer. "The trial showed that autologous transduced cells can be safely administered to patients with advanced myeloma in the context of stem cell transplantation, and that the transduced cells persist for a prolonged period of time. There was also encouraging evidence of antitumor effect which supports further investigation of cell and gene therapy in myeloma."
The publication describes results of a Phase I/II trial to evaluate the safety and activity of autologous T-cells engineered to express an affinity-enhanced T-cell receptor (TCR) recognizing a naturally processed peptide shared by the cancer-testis antigens NY-ESO-1 and LAGE-1. All enrolled patients had symptomatic myeloma with active disease, representing an advanced stage population. Five patients (25 percent) had prior autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) and 12 (60 percent) with cytogenetic abnormalities, including seven categorized as high-risk. After autologous stem cell collection, patients were conditioned with high-dose melphalan followed two days later by autologous stem cell infusion (ASCT). Patients received ADAP NY-ESO TCR (an average of 2.4 billion NY-ESOc259-engineered CD3 T-cells) two days after ASCT.
Clinical Results
Encouraging clinical responses were observed in 16 patients (80 percent) in the study: Of the 20 patients, 14 patients (70 percent) had a near complete response or complete response, and another two had a very good partial response (VGPR) by three months post treatment. According to the authors, this compares favorably to the expected response frequencies following ASCT or double sequential (tandem) ASCT where response rates are typically less than 40 percent in patients without high risk disease.
Persistence and the manufacturing method
Persistence of gene modified cells in the patients was prolonged. In this study, 19/20 patients continued to have gene marked cells detectable in blood at six months post infusion, and long term persistence of engineered cells in the peripheral blood was detectable in 90 percent of patients who reached two years follow up. Continued TCR expression was detected at two years, which suggested gene silencing was not occurring. Engineered T-cells also trafficked to sites of tumor; a majority of patients (15/20) underwent marrow biopsy for response assessment at day 100; 14/15 had detectable engineered cells. Previous studies with engineered T-cells (Burns et al., 2009; Robbins et al., 2014) reported no demonstrated persistence and expression beyond one month.
The method of T-cell manufacture may be key to enabling persistence; CD3/CD28 costimulation was used to manufacture cells in this study, and as well as in CAR studies for CD19 and HIV by the coauthors, and all of these studies demonstrate long term persistence of gene marked cells. This technology induces activation of the T-cell receptor through CD3 and simultaneous costimulation to the T-cells though the CD28 receptor. This selects for younger T-cells and also helps to program them for prolonged expansion. Adaptimmune holds an exclusive license from ThermoFisher (formerly Life Technologies Corporation) for methods of expanding and activating T-cells transduced with engineered T-cell receptors (TCR), including use of the ThermoFisher DynaBeads® CD3/CD28 technology.
Tolerability Profile
Infusions were well-tolerated without clinically apparent cytokine release syndrome (CRS), or macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), despite high IL-6 levels. The observation of safety is a significant finding; CRS and MAS have been reported as significant safety concerns in multiple antibody-based CD19 immunotherapeutics to date. This differentiated safety profile may be related to physiological signaling and/or the antigen target and expression levels.
Anti-tumor activity
To evaluate antigen-specific anti-tumor activity of the engineered T-cells, RNA transcript levels in marrow specimens were quantitatively measured for NY-ESO-1 and LAGE-1, as well as CD138 as a measure of myeloma/plasma cell burden. Relative to levels at enrollment, loss of NY-ESO-1 and LAGE-1 transcripts was observed in 12/15 patients at day 100, and in 11/13 at day 180. At day 100, 3/15 patients had detectable levels of NY-ESO-1 and LAGE-1 transcripts. Notably, disease relapse was correlated with antigen escape (loss of NY-ESO and Lage expression in 2/10 cases) or loss of engineered T-cells (8/10 patients).
"These data suggest that treatment with enhanced NY-ESO-1/LAGE-1 TCR-engineered T-cells is not only safe but of potential clinical benefit to patients with certain types of aggressive multiple myeloma," said Aaron P. Rapoport, MD, the Gary Jobson Professor in Medical Oncology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and the Director of the Blood and Marrow Transplant Program at the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center. "This study establishes a strong foundation for further research in cellular immunotherapy of myeloma. We hope to investigate additional combination approaches to boost the durability and function of the engineered T-cells to achieve even longer and deeper clinical responses."
"This is the first report of TCR engineered T-cell therapy that has shown durable persistence in patients," said Dr. Carl June, Richard W. Vague Professor in Immunotherapy, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Pennsylvania. "These data are encouraging for the TCR platform, which I believe will be an important technology due to its ability to target intracellular antigens."
About Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a cancer formed by malignant plasma cells. Normal plasma cells are found in the bone marrow and are an important part of the immune system, which is made up of several types of cells that work together to fight infections and other diseases. Multiple myeloma is characterized by several features, including low blood counts, bone and calcium problems, infections, kidney problems, monoclonal gammopathy, and others; and by the proliferation of these plasma cells within bone marrow. The American Cancer Society estimates that approximately 26,850 new cases will be diagnosed in the United States in 2015. Average five-year survival rates are estimated to be less than 45 percent with survival rates depending on factors such as age, stage of diagnosis and suitability for auto-SCT, which is used as part of the treatment for eligible patients with multiple myeloma. Despite recent therapeutic advances, multiple myeloma remains an incurable but treatable cancer. Patients are typically treated with repeat rounds of combination therapy with the time intervals to relapse becoming shorter with each successive line of therapy. The majority of patients eventually have a relapse which cannot be further treated.

Ray Lewis: The Greatest Inside Linebacker of All Time.
Is 52 the best ever?
Every year, hundreds of amateur NFL players hope to be taken in the first round of the draft. some get invited to new york, where they get dressed up and analyzed by draftniks and experts. Some sit at home, sweaty hands gripping cell phones, eyes glued to the television. Some of these players do make the first 32. Of those 32, a few start. Of those few starters, a few are good right away. And of those few very good rookie starters are great.
In 1996, many people questioned when a brand new franchise in Baltimore used thei 26th pick on an undersized linebacker from the University of Miami. Thanks to surprising speed and the incredible ability to tackle in the open field, he was named the starter in week one.
Ray Lewis was named NFL defensive player of the week after his first NFL game.
17 seasons, 13 pro bowls, 7 first team all-pros, 3 second team all-pros, 2 time NFL linebacker of the year, 3 time AFC defensive player of the year, 2 NFL defensive player of year awards, a Super Bowl trophy, and a Super Bowl MVP later, I think it is safe to say that Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome made the right choice.
In a world where first ballot hall of fame consideration is reserved for Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and other offensive juggernauts, Ray Lewis stands out as the best defensive option.
Over the last sixteen years, no defensive player has been more feared, or more respected than Ravens linebacker, Ray Lewis. If I were to say "Ray Lewis is the best inside linebacker of the last twenty years", I bet people would begrudgingly shrug and agree.
But I'm not satisfied with that. I'm not satisfied with 20 or even 30 years.
So today, I'm gonna argue my points, and express my opinion and try to convince you to believe what I believe.
That "Sugah Ray Lewis" is the best inside linebacker of all time.
As far as records go, Ray Ray is no stranger. He currently holds the records for most games started at inside linebacker (227), most All-Pros at inside linebacker (10), most Pro Bowls (13), most seasons started at Inside linebacker (17), was the fastest to record both 20 interceptions/sacks and 30 interceptions/sacks (113 and 204), is the only player in NFL history to have 40 sacks and 30 interceptions (41 and 31), as well as holding the NFL record for tackles in a career (2,061). Despite playing 16 years, he only failed to lead his team in tackles twice, during the 2002 and 2005 seasons, when he was hurt. Those stats are staggering when you consider that at 37, a decade older than the best ILB in the league today, Patrick Willis, Lewis is still probably amongst the most feared players in the NFL. If his personal performance isn't enough, how about how he has affected his team?
When you think of the Ravens, what do you think?
Defense. Hard nosed, brutal, defense.
Since Ray Lewis was drafted in 1996, the Ravens defense has been ranked in the top ten twelve times. Their worst season in that span? Was in 2002, where the Ravens dropped from second in the league to twenty-second. That is a twenty team drop because of one injured player. That can be compared to the Colts collapse without Manning last season. The 2000 Ravens defense is considered one of the greatest of all time. They only allowed 165 points, a record previously held by the hallowed 85 Bears defense, and Lewis was awarded both Defensive Player of the year and Super Bowl MVP. In his career, his teams have given up an average of 3.42 yards per carry to running backs, especially during a 51 game streak (Between 1998 and 2001) where the Ravens defense did not give up a 100 yard rusher in a game.
The biggest argument against my theory is that the classics were better. That Ray doesn't stack up against the ferocity of players like Jack Lambert, Mike Singletary, and Dick Butkus. Ray Lewis can't be in their league because of how aggressively they played football. We've all heard the horror stories about some players were known to poke ball carriers in the eyes or knock each others teeth out. They played a style of football we now consider dirty, and because Ray Lewis plays in a softer, modern era, he can not be compared to them. Despite the fact that Ray Lewis has a long reel of hard hit highlights, and even despite those who call him dirty (I'm looking at you, Pats fans and American Football Media). But if those guys were tougher, how come they quit? If those legends of the gridiron were so tough, so bulletproof, how come Ray played longer against better athletes? Ray hit harder, faster, and yes, even stronger against superior competition for 17 seasons. Do you think Lambert could have chased down a Darren McFadden? Can you imagine Singletary covering a Tony Gonzales? And imagine Butkus trying to chase down Michael Vick. It wouldn't happen. Ray Lewis redefined the inside linebacker position. Everybody who ever played with Ray, whispers his name like a fallen idol, like a childhood comic strip hero. Talkative all of fame players such as Deion Sanders, Rod Woodson, and Shannon Sharpe all hush in Lewis' presence. And it isn't just players. Several men have gone from assistant to head coach because they coached Ray Lewis and his defense. Men like Marvin Lewis, Mike Smith, Rex Ryan, and Chuck Pagano all have Head Coaching jobs because they coached Ray Lewis.
Anyone who has ever heard a Ray Lewis speech remembers it clearly. His trademark enthusiasm, his ability to connect with anyone on a personal level, even in the raw testosterone of a pre-game huddle or away locker room. Sitting on my couch, rooting against the Ravens, even I have been inspired by the power, by the energy that seems to run through his veins. I, just a scrawny fan, hundreds of miles away, feel the testosterone pound through my body after just a few, hushed words from number 52.
If you don't believe me, listen to this speech, a doozy after Cundiff lost the 2011 AFC Championship. (Skip to 0:28 to get to the speech)
Ray Lewis suffered a tricep tear in 31-29 win over the Cowboys two weeks ago and is out for what many have argued to be his last season. And has left many of us wondering if we will ever see him dancing out of the tunnel again? Will he ever crush another running back trying to barrel down the middle again? Is this the end? I certainly hope not... But if it is, he certainly left a mark as the best inside linebacker in the game.
18 years ago, if you asked what athlete was most revered in Baltmore. It would have been easy. Everyone would say "Cal, hun" Or "shug, it's clearly Johnny U". Nowadays, you might hear "Oh Michael Phelps" or even the occasional "Gotta be Melo" but everyone knows.
You can't say Ravens without Ray.
I think he is one of the best ever. Check out the Madden 2013 introduction with Ray Lewis. He is great at speeches. The Madden Intro is one of the best every.

This was a great hub about one of the greatest defensive linebackers that the NFL has ever seen. I gave it a big blue thumbs up, and voted everything but funny! When you get a chance Ryan check out this tribute to Ray Lewis' retirement - https://hubpages.com/sports/Ray-Lewis-announces-re...
Sweet, sweet Sugar Ray! Excellent job on his stats...still more to be told on his inspirational leadership. You honored him well.

One of the immediate impressions that this mouse makes is the oddly shaped design. The mouse is a lot longer than any of the other mechanical mice we have used. The left and right buttons at the top of the mouse are long also thus eliminating any missed clicks in the heat of a frag fest!
The scroll button could have been larger. Often times a lot of scrolling was necessary to navigate down a website. Another negative in regards to the scroll button is the option of pressing it down for extra options. It was rather hard and many a times I thought I missed it only to hit it too many times and opening up too many menus. More on this will be discussed in the software overview.
