To really integrate, Woodworking would need to use other materials, and other professions would want to use wood.
Woodworking could utilize Skinning, which would fill another hole in WoW. Herbs are used by two professions, Mining by three, and Skinning by one! But hides could be stretched over framework to create portable lawn chairs, rolled into strong strings for bows, used to hang carvings, construct bags/boxes, cover or line items, and more.
Scribe inks could be used to make paints (by either Scribes or Woodworkers, or even transmuted by Alchemists) that could decorate or imbue objects.
Wood could be used in wand creation in place of vendor woods for Enchanters and enchanted to make special woods used in crafting. Pulp, as a by-product of Milling, could be used in the creation of better papers by Scribes. Engineers would certainly have plenty of uses for wood, and Tailors and Leatherworkers could probably find a use as well.
Sap, as a by-product of Logging, could be used as an adhesive, flavoring in Cooking, mixed into certain inks, or go into potions, elixirs and flasks. Dust, as another possible by-product, could be sold to Enchanters. Roots could be dug up and used in Cooking.
Alchemy oils could be used as finishing coats on many items. Metals could be used for hinges, uncut gems for decoration, disenchantment materials could be fused into things, and much more. Pick anything that isn't used enough, or end-game materials that need to become more scarce, and use your imagination.
Engineers could create a new gadget that combine the Logging axe and shovel, as well.
Whether this balance would be achieved by modifying reagents from older recipes, or creating new ones (likely both), it could be done.
Nethaera also mentioned that art concepts are important when adding a new profession. I think that Native art elements, as well as Troll-esque art, rune-like images, Pioneer styles and "primitive" elements would be quite welcome.
The story behind it all, and the next expansion
So who would bring this craft to the masses? Why, the Venture Company of course! Well, ex-Venture Company. In the next expansion, if Goblins do indeed become playable, we can expect that the (likely Horde) Goblins will have their own story, and of course, the neutral Goblins wouldn't be left out of this development. Some Venture Company members could have defected and found a home within neutral boundaries.
Eager to prove/redeem themselves, and make a little coin of course, they will pass along their most valuable skill; that of gathering, transforming and creating with, wood. Trainers could show up in Ratchet, making them accessible to young Trolls, Orcs and Tauren, in Booty Bay to be more accessible to some Alliance, and later, in other neutral Goblin towns.
In addition, in towns that contain a Goblin or two, an ex-Venture Co. member could be tagging along, able to reach out to small Horde and Alliance outposts, selling their know-how while the Goblin sells wares. This could even be an opportunity for a new Goblin faction that would grant reputation, although you might think that it is they who really owe us a reputation grind!
Later, in the sanctuaries of Shattrath and Dalaran (perhaps in the sewer), neutral ex-Venture Co. would be free to set up shop in peace. Not all of these NPCs would need to be Goblin, as there are plenty of other races in the Company, but the new playable Goblins could indeed get a profession-related racial.
CM Drysc has also hinted that we haven't seen the last of the Venture Trading Company, making all of this seem even more plausible.
As a point of interest, in Wrath, several Tailoring patterns were added for Lumberjack and Workman shirts. Could this have been a hint of things to come, or merely a questionable fashion choice?

Finding the Right Fit for Retirement
A variety of services are available for local seniors looking to remain in their home or move to a new one.
New Orleans is known for being one of the country's more exciting cities, and for the aging community, an exciting and independent life in the city is easier to maintain than ever before. Recently, Kiplinger named New Orleans one of the 10 best cities for retirement in the country. Options abound for those whose home and living needs are changing. For those looking for a completely independent living situation with less maintenance than a large estate, for those looking for in-home assistance with day-to-day tasks or for those in need of more advanced care, New Orleans' options for independent and assisted living run the gamut.
At Lambeth House, an age-qualified community of condo-style residences, lifestyle is everything. Residents can customize their home, maintain their pet and enjoy numerous services and amenities such as flexible meal plans, weekly house keeping, grounds maintenance, parking and the brand new Wellness Center at Lambeth House, a 21,072-square-foot recreation space with a stunning indoor saltwater pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center with cardio and strength equipment, an art studio, an interfaith chapel, a meditation room, a garden and a modern café and grill.
Lambeth House
Offering luxury independent living, assisted living, and nursing care, Lambeth House is a registered Continuous Care Retirement Community with LifeCare, a program that allows residents the ability to move across levels of care if ever needed with little to no increase in fees. In addition to the new Wellness Center, the recent $18.5 million expansion also included the opening of St. Anna's at Lambeth House, which offers private residences for nursing care and a specialized area for memory support.
"Having access to the right level of care, when and if needed, is an important feature of the lifestyle here – it gives residents and their families tremendous peace of mind," says Scott Crabtree, Lambeth House President and CEO.
Also a Continuing Care Retirement Community, Poydras Home offers residents the option of independent living with the assurance of additional care if needed through their assisted living, nursing care and memory support programs. Additionally, the PHASE senior day program for older adults still residing in their homes provides respite for caregivers and allows participants the opportunity to interact, socialize and benefit from programs and activities while having on-site medical supervision.
In August, Poydras Home opened the three-story Oak House at Poydras Home with 33 new assisted living rooms, 11 of which are dedicated to memory support. Oak House is the latest addition to the Poydras Home grounds, which also includes Garden House's one-bedroom independent living apartments, the Historic House's nursing care private rooms, and Hunter House for Alzheimer's and memory care in private rooms. The Historic House is also being updated with room renovations, a new nursing area, a therapy and wellness room and two new dining spaces with restaurant settings.
"Since 1817, Poydras Home has had a reputation for extraordinary compassionate care and service. Our recent expansion offers new and enhanced facilities, which allows our community to serve a larger resident population while enhancing the current residents' experience," says Erin Kolb, Director of Admissions & Social Services.
Another option for those who live independently but who may need occasional non-medical assistance is Home Care Solutions, which offers in-home assistance and companionship as well as Geriatric Care Management services when needed. In addition to the home, Home Care Solutions staff also work with residents in various assisted living programs to provide complementary support services such as running errands, walking pets, cooking light meals, doing laundry, helping residents shower and dress and go to various appointments. These services are particularly helpful for seniors whose adult children may not be available due to time or distance.
All in-home services begin with a professional assessment visit. A plan of care is designed specific to the client's needs while incorporating family input. Experienced, bonded and insured caregivers are chosen based on need and personality. If Geriatric Care Management services are needed, such as in the case of long-distance caregiving, professional Geriatric Care Managers are available to consult with family on complex care issues, act as a liaison between family and healthcare provider, and coordinate services.
Similarly, Gifted Nurses provides non-medical, in-home assistance while also offering medical assistance through registered nurses and other mid-level providers. Gifted Nurses services are available wherever the client calls home, and contracts are not mandatory.
"We want to be more than a solution. We want to be your solution," says Joy Roussel, Director of Advanced Practice Services. "We're building on a long-standing reputation of quality services and are growing by leaps and bounds." Gifted Nurses now offers direct placement of mid-level providers such as advanced practice registered nurses (registered nurses with additional experience in a certain discipline), nurse practitioners, and physician's assistants, as well as medical coders to the community.
When needed, Gifted Nurses is able to provide clients with caregivers with certain specialties, core groups with specific training in specific diseases, wound care, or other unique situations. The amount of daily or weekly care is based on the need of the individual after the initial assessment. Gifted Nurses is flexible in scheduling, offering services from as little as an hour a week up to total care.
Vista Shores
Vista Shores, an assisted living and memory care residence with three "neighborhoods" of one- or two-bedroom apartments and an entire floor dedicated to memory care, offers nursing available 24 hours a day, something few assisted living and memory care providers are able to offer to residents in private apartments who may need assistance throughout the night.
"We tailor each care plan to the individual, and being locally owned and operated we can think outside of the box and make every effort to find solutions as residents' needs change," says Courtney Bartholomew, Executive Director.
In the past year, Vista Shores has vastly expanded its cognitive programming in the memory neighborhood. With a heavy focus on what residents can do and not on what they can't, the daily activities help to calm and soothe. Committed to being at the forefront of care, Vista Shores steadily offers new training to staff in a variety of areas. A family-oriented company, they hold family nights and Sunday brunches each month and keep residents and their families socially engaged via social media and programming.
Those who require more comprehensive care may be interested in the services of The John J. Hainkel, Jr. Home & Rehabilitation Center and Adult Day Health Care. Founded in 1891, the Hainkel Home is located one block off of Magazine Street near Audubon Park in Uptown New Orleans.
Currently accepting new residents, the Hainkel Home offers comprehensive medical and nursing services for long-term residents, treatment and rehabilitation for the injured and ill, and an alternative on-site adult day health care center.
The facility recently opened its new Parkside Red Rehabilitation Wing, which provides a full range of skilled services. Such services are available to individuals with private pay, private insurance, VA benefits and Medicaid/Medicare benefits.
Over a century old, the facility was sold to the state in 1979. In April 2013, the original nonprofit organization leased it back from the state, and as a privately run facility the Hainkel Home exhibits a commitment to the highest quality of care. During the 2013 Annual Surveys conducted by the Department of Health and Hospitals, the Hainkel Home received "Zero Deficiencies" in both the Nursing Home and the Adult Day Health Care – a feat accomplished by few.
With a variety of living options and ways of receiving assistance and care, it's no surprise New Orleans is an exciting place to retire. Whether staying in the home or moving to a new one, local providers make it easy to remain engaged with both your city and family.

Anyone wheel a classic?

The old V8 in 4lo can really push the truck.

I've been playing around with a 71 Ford bronco, converted it from a wagon to a half-cab pickup body. Slowly turning from beat ranch truck to sweet looking rig.
Out on the ranch in Wyoming.

I wont even touch one. A guy I used to know and ride with, had 3 of them. He rolled them all, killing one friend. Thank god he never did it with me:-\
Posted 08 August 2007 - 09:40 PM
We have a rollbar that's going on soon. It needs some cleanup, a bit of welding and chopping, but it should help. It sits on the bedrails, so it's no better a rollbar than the average CJ rollbar, but it should help support the cab some.
The key is to not roll. It's a classic, and getting rare, so rolling one is a waste.
I put a duraspark II ignition into it, wow what a difference. Before, when you started it up, and it took some doing, you would have to wait untill it was warmed up to even free-rev it. Now, you start it and it's good to go driving right off the bat. Cool thing about V8's is how low you can lug them without stalling.

i'm am gettting a 72 blazer that i'm going to start working on as soon as my toyota is done(like that is ever gonna happen)
Posted 31 August 2007 - 05:40 PM
I have a '72 Jeep J-4000 (old school commanche...i.e. truck) that i wheel. I lit her on fire earlier this year, but it was just a gas fire on top of the motor. I stripped everything and set it up like one of my derby cars...which has led to me finding a truck demo derby that i will be driving it in. I know it is sad to kill a classic, but i don't really care. This derby will be a blast, and with any luck, i will be bringing her home after all is said and done, and i will still take her up into the woods. You got to love fully boxed frames for tuff factor.
I also have a '79 Blazer that needs a motor. This truck will become my full time wheeler after the jeep. The blazer is way more comfortable than the jeep to drive. I want to find a big block power house for it, but i may have to settle with a chevy 350. hell...maybe i'll drop that amc 360 from the jeep into it...lol
We need to get a Wyoming meet going on. Maybe go do some wheeling if you guys can get your rigs here.
subynut...wyoming sucks...no one lives here, and the women out here have more chest hair than you ever thought possible. move here at your own risk. j/k man, come on out...bring your parka and snow shovel.

I'm building an engine for it this spring. 71 302 block, 96 GT40 heads, flat top pistons, and new bearings and seals. Summit cam, duration: 262/272, Lift .448/.472, should be good for low end. The engine will spend it's life at 6k+ feet altitude, so easy breathing and high compression is a must.
Once it's built, I'll throw it and a subie 3at in the back of my Tacoma, drive it out there, swap up the motor in the Bronco, and the tranny in my 86 T-wagon, and bring that home.
It'll be a couple of years before I live out in Wyo. Not sure how many Honda dealerships there are out there that are hiring. Best get my resume filled in a bit more before making the leap.

Here's my 74. she is badass and lotsa fun. but at 8-10 mpg, I don't drive it a whole helluva lot. it does have a 6 point cage in it, too

Defender Rachel Rasmussen will inject considerable experience into the ranks of netball's Southern Steel next season.
The 28-year-old has spent the majority of her ANZ Championship career with the Northern Mystics since 2008, with the exception of a brief stint with the Pulse in 2011.
She was eager to venture south to Steel where she will link up with fellow defenders Storm Purvis, Sulu Tone-Fitzpatrick and Phoenix Karaka, who also emerged through Auckland's age-group system before heading south.
"I'm very excited and a little bit nervous at the same time," Rasmussen said.
"Living in Invercargill is going to be a different environment for this city girl but I know from talking to Sheryl Scanlan and Paula Griffin that they really enjoyed their time down there being part of the community so it will be awesome.
"With the exception of netball games, the furthest south I've been is probably Blenheim."
She was impressed with Steel's playing roster for next season.
"They've got an exciting bunch of young talent in there and some great experience as well so it's a good mix," she said.
"I'm really looking forward to sharing the knowledge I have but I know in turn I will learn a lot from the young defenders as well. I have a few things in the old bag of tricks to share."
Mother to two children aged 8 and 6, Rasmussen was preparing to shift the family across the ditch to join her partner in Perth in January but a call from the Steel prompted a change of plans.
"Playng for Steel really was too good an opportunity to pass up."

THE Uniting Church accrued more than $40 million in debt bailing out the developer of Acacia College after he ran into financial difficulties during the global financial crisis.
However, it was shocked to learn six weeks ago that the developer - who recently died on a plane - had not fully divulged a range of fees including the $10 million the City of Whittlesea demanded it spend on traffic works outside the school.
Acacia College had also accrued thousands of dollars in unpaid school fees and had a staff to student ratio of one to nine - far lower than the average ratio of one to 21.
The Age has learnt it was these factors that convinced the church Acacia College was unsustainable, prompting the shock announcement it would close at the end of the year.
''It's a scary amount of money,'' a Uniting Church member told The Age.
''All of the synod of Victoria and Tasmania will be affected because the only way to clear this debt is by property sales and the realisation of assets.''
The Uniting Church would retain the debt even if a new developer or buyer was found.
The Catholic Church has come forward as a potential saviour with Catholic Education executive director Stephen Elder saying he had held discussions with the Uniting Church and was currently doing due diligence.
The potential white knight came as furious parents accused the Uniting Church of a lack of disclosure and due diligence.
The church had originally planned to lease the school from the developer, Bruce Dorgan, but took on responsibility for funding its construction when the developer hit financial trouble in 2008.
Parent Naomi Robertson, from Whittlesea, who has four children, one of whom is in year 7 at the stricken college, said: ''We were set for the next 20 years, we are just devastated.''
Another parent, Adrian Donaghey, said his seven-year-old daughter had no school to attend next year.
''The Uniting Church must be held accountable for their complete incompetence in ensuring the good governance of Acacia,'' he said.
Uniting Church moderator Isabel Thomas Dobson said the synod was forced to inject more money than it intended to keep the two-year-old college's building projects going. The cost of installing lights and infrastructure such as roads alone was estimated at about $10 million.
''We did do due diligence. We've since discovered our due diligence wasn't diligent or detailed enough and it's in the last six weeks as we review other figures that we found there were substantial things that had been underestimated that has brought us to this decision,'' Ms Thomas Dobson said.
Principal Andrew Houghton tearfully read a statement yesterday saying the church and not the college board had decided to close the school. ''This is the worst day of my life,'' Mr Houghton said. ''As a community we are coming to terms with the decision the Uniting Church has made. I will be working with our parents and the Uniting Church to explore all opportunities to keep this fantastic school open.'' He said schools had offered to take students from next year.
City of Whittlesea chief executive David Turnbull said the decision to close the school had taken the council by surprise.
The Victorian government said it did not have the capacity to bail out the school.
The Uniting Church learnt the school's future was in jeopardy six weeks before it revealed its plans on Wednesday.
But Ms Thomas Dobson said parents and teachers were informed as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, the sacked principal of Methodist Ladies College, Rosa Storelli, pulled out of a meeting of supporters last night. The Age believes Ms Storelli's lawyers warned her against appearing.

The first, "Dem Bones Challenge Map," was previously only available to those that pre-ordered the brawler from retailer GameStop. The second, "Crime Alley Challenge Map," was previously only offered to those that bought the collector's edition of the game.
Both "Crime Alley" and "Dem Bones" are now available at 240 Microsoft Points / $3 each through the Xbox Live Marketplace and Games for Windows Live Marketplace--"Dem Bones" seems to be called "Villain Challenge Map" on PC--with PlayStation 3 owners expected to get them in today's PlayStation Store update.
However, the downloadable Playable Joker Challenge Maps are still exclusive to PlayStation 3, as is the "Prey in the Darkness" content in North America.
[Update - 11:30pm CST] - The downloads are not free, as we previously reported, but rather 240 Microsoft Points / $3 each, with the above post now reflecting that.

Yesterday we talked about Bratz, so it's only fair that we give Barbie some space today. Especially this Barbie, the Video Girl Doll. While this piece of plastic looks like any other Barbie doll, it harbors a secret: a hidden camera in a pendant around her neck, which can record up to 30 minutes of video.
Mattel gushes over the spy-doll:
Budding filmmakers, take note: Barbie® doll now doubles as a video camera! Girls can record and play back clips with this multi-tasking doll, which has a video camera built right in. Capture everything from a doll's-eye-view, then watch it instantly or upload to your computer. There's an LCD screen on Barbie® doll's back, and a camera lens hidden discreetly in her necklace. Talk about making movies in style!

Submission + - EVE Online Battle Breaks Records (And Servers) (kugutsumen.com) 2
captainktainer writes: "In one of the largest tests of Eve Online's new player sovereignty system in the Dominion expansion pack, a fleet of ships attempting to retake a lost star system was effectively annihilated amidst controversy. Defenders IT Alliance, a coalition succeeding the infamous Band of Brothers alliance (whose disbanding was covered in a previous story), effectively annihilated the enemy fleet, destroying thousands of dollars' worth of in-game assets. A representative of the alliance claimed to have destroyed a minimum of four, possibly five or more of the game's most expensive and powerful ship class, known as Titans. Both official and unofficial forums are filled with debate about whether the one-sided battle was due to difference in player skill or the well-known network failures after the release of the expansion. One of the attackers, a member of the GoonSwarm alliance, claims that because of bad coding, "Only 5% of [the attackers] loaded," meaning that lag prevented the attackers from using their ships, even as the defenders were able to destroy those ships unopposed. Even members of the victorious IT Alliance disappointment at the outcome of the battle. CCP, Eve Online's publisher, has recently acknowledged poor network performance, especially in the advertised "large fleet battles" that Dominion was supposed to encourage, and has asked players to help them stress test their code on Tuesday. Despite the admitted network failure, leaders of the attacking force do not expect CCP to replace lost ships, claiming that it was their own fault for not accounting for server failures. The incident raises questions about CCP's ability to cope with the increased network use associated with their rapid growth in subscriptions"

I'd rather get Gamble if I had my choice but I wouldn't have a problem with Ross. However, another poster brought up the Giants recent draft history, and their drafts haven't been as good as you might think; The only hits in recent years seem to be JPP, Nicks, and Cruz as a UDFA.
Mark Ross is the guy who for the past 5 Giants drafts was the main guy getting the players,everyone knows that.I think this would be a slam dunk hire and nobody is available who in my opinion is better.

Funny thing Wilson would be our biggest weapon by far.Non the less he drafted the Giants best players on both sides besides Eli.Nicks/Jpp are there best players.
Giants have select talent in top scout
By Mike Garafolo/The Star-Ledger
on April 21, 2008, updated January 07, 2010
Sitting at a table in a quiet hallway at the Indiana Convention Center two months ago -- safely removed from the meat-market atmosphere of the NFL Scouting Combine -- Marc Ross was, for once, reflecting on the past instead of the future.
Of course, he did so reluctantly and only after he was repeatedly asked to recount his greatest finds as an NFL scout.
The first one, which brought a smirk to Ross' face, was easy: Brian Westbrook, whom Ross expected to be dynamic on special teams and as a third-down back but didn't seem likely to turn into the "kill-people, game-plan-for-him" type of player he has been for the Eagles.
The next one was rather curious, and very telling.
"Kevin Everett," Ross said, his grin quickly replaced by a somber, blank stare.
Everett is the former Bills tight end who suffered a severe neck injury and was nearly paralyzed while making a tackle on a kickoff last September. He will never play football again.
A special-teams contributor who missed his entire rookie season due to a knee injury and then had his career cut short at three years is one of Ross' favorite finds ever?
"From an off-field standpoint, everything that's happened to him, the resiliency the guy has shown is amazing," Ross said. "He'll be more proud of what he's done than of what he could have done on the field."
Make no mistake: Ross, a former Princeton wide receiver who is now the Giants' director of college scouting, is looking for players who want to win Super Bowls, not Nobel Prizes. And after all eight of the Giants' picks in last year's draft contributed to this past season's championship run, Ross has a high standard to meet.
"I don't think he's afraid of the challenge," Giants general manager Jerry Reese said. "And it's really not a challenge. We're not looking for Marc Ross to match last year's draft.
"We just want him to help us continue to draft good players ... and, of course, good people."
Reese had been the Giants' director of player personnel since 2002 before taking over as general manager last February. Three months later, he hired the 34-year-old Ross to take his place. Ross has climbed the ranks of the scouting system even more quickly than Reese, who was 39 when he became the Giants' college scouting boss.
Ross has always been the young guy. He became a scouting intern in 1996 with the Eagles after one year as a public relations intern for the Giants. Only 23 when he was sent on the road to remote places like Montana to scout obscure players like linebacker Jason Crebo, he didn't know where he was going and had to haggle to get there. Because he was younger than 25, Ross wasn't allowed to rent a car until he proved it was a company account.
"Now, these scouts are getting younger and younger," Ross said. "But when I started, there weren't many guys my age at all."
It didn't stop him from gaining respect. Tom Modrak, hired by the Eagles as director of football operations in May 1998, noticed Ross' eye for talent immediately when he read his report on Florida State tackle Tra Thomas, whom Philly had drafted in the first round a few weeks prior to Modrak's hiring.
"The description and the directness (of the Thomas report) .¤.¤. his whole body of work was excellent," Modrak said. "That was an easy hire for me, to renew him."
Under Modrak, Ross learned a fundamental draft lesson on not caving to outside pressure. In 1999, he and Modrak easily identified Syracuse quarterback Donovan McNabb as the player they wanted to take with the No. 2 overall pick. As the draft approached, the local sports talk station, fans and even the mayor of Philadelphia (now Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell) pleaded with the team to take running back Ricky Williams.
The Eagles took McNabb, who was booed by Philly fans on draft day.
Nine years later, it's clear Ross, Modrak and the rest of the Eagles' scouting department were correct. McNabb has gone to five Pro Bowls and one Super Bowl; Williams has been in and out of the league because of a short-lived retirement and several drug suspensions.
Meanwhile, No. 1 overall pick Tim Couch, whom Ross and the Eagles rated below McNabb, quickly flamed out with the Browns.
"The bottom line is: Does a guy help you win?" Ross said. "Football comes down to who makes the plays at the right time. Certain guys have a sense for that and a savvy about them. They have great football sense."
In 2000, at the age of 27, Ross' football sense resulted in the Eagles' making him the youngest college scouting director in the NFL.
His climb and good standing with the Eagles ended, however, four years later. Modrak had butted heads with the organization and was fired, followed out the door soon after by his entire staff.
Ross rejoined Modrak in Buffalo and served as a national scout for the Bills. He had a lot of input into last year's impressive draft class, which included running back Marshawn Lynch, linebacker Paul Posluszny and quarterback Trent Edwards -- each of whom started as rookies.
All the while, Ross has maintained his approach as a scout who doesn't hedge his bets.
"He'll argue with you and that's good. I want guys that feel something and do it," Modrak said. "He doesn't politicize anything.
"If the buzz is going one way and he doesn't feel it, he doesn't go that way. That's a quality that's special in this business."
Ross didn't even sugarcoat his opinions of the Giants' draft last year when he interviewed with Reese and brought all of his reports to show his future boss.
"Some of them were good," Ross said, "some of them were bad."
Ross has been that honest and straightforward for quite some time, according to Steve Verbit, Princeton's defensive coordinator, who recruited Ross out of Archmere Academy in Claymont, Del.
"Everybody was in love with Marc Ross at Archmere," Verbit said.
"Teachers, coaches, guidance counselors -- all of them raved about his honesty and sincerity."
Ross' adjustment to the Ivy League, academically and on the field, was a struggle. It wasn't until his junior season that the undersized speedster developed into an All-Ivy League receiver for the Tigers.
"There were times I thought he was a volleyball player instead of a football player," Verbit said. "I would shake my head and think, 'What happened to the hands I saw on this young man two or three years ago?'"
Ross knows how Verbit felt. While with the Eagles, one player he raved about was North Carolina's Na Brown -- a sure-handed receiver in college who quickly came down with a case of the dropsies in three disappointing NFL seasons with Philly.
Of course, no scout is perfect. So Ross has tried not to let players that didn't pan out like Brown affect his approach or confidence in his ability to spot talent.
"It's like a DB -- you get beat, you have to look forward to the next play," Ross said. "You have to have that conviction in your evaluations and your system.
"You can't get gun-shy. You just keep going and forget about it."
Even the successes -- like last year's draft -- can't be held onto for too long.
"As we kept winning and those guys kept making plays, I was like, 'You're putting more pressure on me,'" Ross said with a laugh. "And (Reese) said, 'Hey, I expect you to take us to new levels.'
"To me, it's a challenge. I told the scouts, 'That was a great draft, but it's over with and we have to look forward to next year. Our goal should be to make it even better.' And that is really 100 percent my goal."
Sounds like a good candidate and would stand up to Rex. "Get out of my kitchen, Rex!"

Newcastle signing Moussa Sissoko delighted with start to life on Tyneside
New recruit Moussa Sissoko says he could never have imagined making such a good start to his career at Newcastle.
Last Updated: 06/02/13 3:38pm
The box-to-box midfielder, who joined the club from Ligue 1 outfit Toulouse for £1.8m last month, made a sensational home debut at the weekend by scoring two goals in the Magpies' 3-2 victory over Chelsea.
Sissoko, who was born to Malian parents, is now looking to carry on his superb vein of form and help guide Alan Pardew's side up the Premier League table.
The 23-year-old told the Chronicle: "I could never have imagined making such a good start to my time at Newcastle. My first home game was against Chelsea, the European champions, and we managed to win and scored two goals.
"I was very happy on a personal level, although it was a collective performance from the whole team. We all played a big game.
"At Newcastle, I have been asked to take the game to the opposition. I am playing in a more forward role and I can express myself.
"This is the championship for me. This is the one that fits my style best. The last few weeks at Toulouse were not easy, so when Newcastle offered me the chance to join in January then I did not hesitate.
"I know it is a very good club and I am still getting to know it."

The auditorium at Lindenwood University's largest satellite campus in Belleville, Ill., has been named recipient of a 2008 Historic Site Award from the St. Clair County Historical Society.
The auditorium was one of seven buildings to receive an award, which are bestowed bi-annually to buildings at least 75 years old that have undergone notable renovations.
"We are extremely proud to receive this award from the St. Clair County Historical Society," said James D. Evans, Ph.D., president of Lindenwood University. "We plan to hang our recognition plaque above the auditorium's front entrance, so all who enter will know of its historical significance."
The auditorium, designed in 1927 by famed architect William B. Ittner, had fallen into disrepair until Lindenwood University took ownership of the former Belleville West High School campus in 2003.
By the end of 2005, the university completed a $2 million renovation of the building's interior and exterior. The restoration of the auditorium is just one of many projects the university plans to complete during its long-term campus revitalization plans. When the work is finished, Lindenwood plans to have invested more than $5.5 million improving the 20-acre campus.
Lindenwood University, founded in 1827, is an independent liberal arts university offering 84 undergraduate degree programs and 37 graduate programs in diverse areas of study in traditional and accelerated formats.
Lindenwood operates a residential campus in historic St. Charles, as well as 10 extended sites throughout the St. Louis Metropolitan area.

An elderly man died in a crash involving an unmarked Marion County Sheriff's Office vehicle in Silver Springs Shores on Monday.
SILVER SPRINGS SHORES — An elderly man died in a crash involving an unmarked Marion County Sheriff's Office vehicle in Silver Springs Shores on Monday.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers said the unmarked Sheriff's Office vehicle with two sheriff's deputies, was heading west in the left lane on Southeast Maricamp Road.
A 1993 Dodge Spirit, driven James Barzey, was on Pine Road, traveling south.
Troopers said it's unknown if Barzey, 91, of Silver Springs Shores, was trying to cross the busy roadway of Southeast Maricamp Road or trying to turn onto Maricamp Road.
Barzey's car, however, pulled into the path of the deputy's vehicle and was struck on the driver's side.
FHP officials said that upon impact, the unmarked Sheriff's Office vehicle crashed into a concrete telephone pole, while Barzey's car twice circled the unmarked vehicle before hitting the driver's side of a 2004 Acura, driven by Carlos Fuentes, 47. Fuentes, of Silver Springs Shores, was not injured, officials said.
Barzey was extricated from his car by Marion County Fire Rescue officials and was taken to Ocala Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The deputies were transported to Munroe Regional Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
Troopers said both deputies and Barzey were wearing seat belts. The deputies names were not released by officials.
Troopers said the unmarked sheriff's vehicle, which was on duty, was not responding to any emergency at the time of the crash.
Barzey's death is the second person over the age of 90 to have died in a traffic accident in Marion County since the beginning of the year.
Last month, 92-year-old Matthew Rossi, of Ocala, was killed when the car he was driving drove into the path of a pickup truck on State Road 200.

The Newton City Council set Oct. 29 as the deadline to apply for the currently vacant mayor's seat with plans to interview all applicants and to appoint the city's next mayor at tonight's regular meeting.
It would appear their work has already been done for them. Headed into the meeting, the council will have just one candidate to consider: Second Ward councilor and mayor pro tempore Mike Hansen.
"Newton is my 'hometown,' where my wife and I were raised and went to school, and after completing my honorable service in the U.S. Army Special Forces, returned to raise our three daughters," he said in his letter of application dated Oct. 29. "We now enjoy spending time with our five grandchildren."
Hansen became a member of the city council Jan. 2, 2002, and began his third term Jan. 4, 2010. In addition to serving as mayor pro tempore, he also serves as chair of the Employee Relations and Finance committees.
"I completed the Iowa League of Cities Municipal Leadership Academy and the City of Newton Citizens' Academy in 2002," he said. "I also completed the City of Newton Citizens' Police Academy in 2011."
In his letter of application, Hansen said now is a critical time for the future of Newton. He added that he believes he has the skills, personality, experience and desire to lead an effort to create and maintain a thriving Newton.
"Leaders inspire others and this is no time for spectators," he said. "Only when we tap into the talents and energy of this community will we unleash the true genius of Newton — its citizens. I am up for the challenge and so are the people of Newton. Together, we can look beyond the obstacles and reach for the possible."
Consideration of Hansen's appointment to mayor and probable appointment are scheduled toward the end of tonight's meeting. The Council will close out the meeting with discussions of the city's "vicious dog" ordinances and the possibility of contracting out for the city's legal services.
In other business, the council will:
• Consider the second reading of changes to the city's snow ordinance,
• Consider a resolution accepting completion of the railroad crossing repair on North 19th Avenue East,
• Consider a resolution accepting completion of the 2012 sidewalk ramp improvements project,
• Consider a resolution accepting completion of the U.S. Highway 6 asphalt resurfacing project,
• Consider a resolution approving an engineering services agreement for the 2013 Apron Expansion Project at the Newton Municipal Airport,
• Consider approving quotes for work to correct a prohibited sanitary sewer discharge problem,
• Consider a resolution accepting completion of the 2012 Structure Demolition Project, and
• Consider a resolution entering into an agreement for Thunder Nites in Newton to be held the second Friday of each month from May through September of 2013.

And another + in Popp's corner, he's got some hockey hair going on up there
Even though it's in the CFL, Popp's fingerprints are all over the hugely successful Alouettes. He's put together the teams, maintained them, coached. He's really done it all. And coming from the CFL to the NFL he'll have something to prove.
Most of the candidates the Jets have or will interview haven't had nearly as much say or responsibility in their teams as Popp has had with the Alouettes.
Guys, I'm from Montreal & I can tell you Jim Popp is great (he's an American by the way)
There is alot of turnover in the CFL from one season to the next. This guy always finds a way to keep the Montreal Alouettes at the top
Being a fan of both franchises, I would lose on one end but would win on the other
Again, he's great
and Rex and be Snap, Woody can be Krackle and Popp is Pop... Great combo!
Snap, Krackle, Pop
Really though what makes these "other" candiadates that much better??? Look at Tanny's resume if you are living in Kansas City. Two AFC Champ, three playoff years and willing to get the big names. Two losing seasons out of 7, drafted Revis, got Cromartie for a 2nd rd pick and signed Landry, both whom are in this years in the Pro Bowl.
I want this guy!!!!
I would choose PoP
Some interesting info on Popp
Popps record in Montreal is nothing short of amazing. Hes been with the organization since its time in Baltimore and has found plenty of incredible talent over that time, a key reason why the Alouettes have been an East Division powerhouse for the last decade-plus. Some of his players have gone on to NFL success, too, including the Bengals Andrew Hawkins at the moment, so that could bode well for southern evaluations of his talent. The Carolina job is also an intriguing one that he may well receive significant consideration for; Popps from the area and has plenty of connections in local football circles, and Panthers owner Jerry Richardson is being advised by former Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi, a long-time fan of Popps.
- He has made some good moves and drafted some good players.
- He had a history of trading up and not taking later round picks seriously leading to an appalling lack of depth and development.
- For all of the mention of him being a 'cap guru' he has left the Jets in very poor cap position at this time.
He has simply made 'the big mistake' in a couple of areas and you can't do that.
I hadn't heard much of this guy, but I like the pedigree.
I'd be on board with this guy.

Hey! How are you doing? I noticed you haven't been around much lately or posted for a while, so I hope all is well
Sorry - not special, just sentimental - will clean out.
Hehehe, you have a point, it does look like a cross between a giraffe and a dragon, but I'm quite sure it's supposed to be a horse Glad you "enjoyed" the giant bar of choccy!
Here's a more complete picture, and although it's upside down, it seems that it's supposed to be a horse.
Oh, I finally found a large bar of white choccy for you
And just think, that's a chocolate bar whose main marketing strategy is aimed at children! Originally I was trying to find a picture of a very large bar of choccy, but without success, so when I came across that pic, I thought that would be just as good
Maybe this will provide clarity
Aww But did you take a close look at the picture?
Maybe this will satisfy you
You were probably treading carefully last time, being a bit wary, this time around you know the ropes

Michael Higdon scored twice as NEC claimed their first Eredivisie win of the season with a 2-1 victory against Heerenveen on Friday.
Anton Janssen's men went into game rock bottom of the table, but finally gave their fans something to cheer about with a confident performance.
Higdon proved to be the hero for the Nijmegen club, putting the hosts in command before Hakim Ziyech pulled one back for Marco van Basten's side late on.
English striker Higdon's first came 12 minutes before the break as he headed home Jeffrey Leiwakabessy's far post cross.
And seven minutes into the second half, NEC's lead was doubled as Higdon pounced again to convert Soren Rieks' delivery.
Higdon's goals looked to have secured the points, but Ziyech frayed the home fans' nerves when the scored his first goal of the season.
The 20-year-old attacker found the net in spectacular fashion, curling a free-kick in off the crossbar five minutes from time to give the visitors hope of a dramatic comeback.
However, those hopes were dashed as NEC clung on to condemn Heerenveen to only their third defeat of the season.

Agencies have made few, if any, strides on handling requests for public information more efficiently, according to a recent independent analysis.
Citizens seeking documents from federal agencies under the Freedom of Information Act are waiting longer to get a response, and are increasingly less likely to get the information they want, the report from the Arlington, Va., Coalition of Journalists for Open Government stated. The group used these findings to argue for FOIA reform beyond that required by a December 2005 executive order.
But officials from the Justice Department, which shares responsibility with the Office of Management and Budget for helping agencies follow the executive order, disagreed.
The coalition of journalists analyzed a collection of FOIA performance reports from 26 agencies. Half of the reports only were updated through fiscal 2005, just before Bush signed the executive order. Thirteen agencies had completed their fiscal 2006 reports, providing some perspective on the period following the mandate.
The backlog of FOIA requests increased from 105,119 in fiscal 2004 to 149,262 in fiscal 2005, the coalition's report stated. The portion of requests granted dropped 4 percentage points in the same period, from 67 percent to 63 percent.
For the 13 agencies that filed fiscal 2006 reports, the backlog increased from 43,079 in fiscal 2005 to 45,286 in fiscal 2006. The rate of requests granted by those agencies during that period dropped 2 percentage points, from 61 percent to 59 percent.
A Justice Department official who asked to remain anonymous said agencies have just started to reform their FOIA practices. The full benefits of the executive order, which directed agencies to make their FOIA operations citizen-centric and results-oriented, have yet to be realized, the official said, noting many milestones will occur in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008.
Several agencies already have reported a backlog reduction, and more are using technology to help manage the process of responding to requests, said Justice spokesman Evan Peterson.
The Justice Department decreased its own backlog of FOIA requests from 8,637 in fiscal 2005 to 8,004 in fiscal 2006, with 25 fewer full-time employees, the report said. The agency granted 48 percent of the requests processed in fiscal 2006, down slightly from 50 percent in fiscal 2005.
"This is an issue we take very seriously, and the department's FOIA officials are working closely with agencies to assist them in their compliance with the president's executive order," Peterson said.
But Pete Weitzel, author of the report and coordinator for the coalition, said the numbers show a need for legislative change to supplement the executive order. The order went into effect about three months into fiscal 2006, giving agencies enough time to make improvements that should have shown up in their fiscal 2006 reports, he said.
"You don't have to have a big plan to make some changes," Weitzel said. "You know you're going to get beat on the head if you don't do something."
Scott Hodes, a former government attorney in Justice's Office of Information and Privacy and author of The FOIA blog, which tracks government FOIA and privacy issues, wrote that while the executive order "made agencies think about their FOIA programs, they weren't required to do anything constructive about them."
Members of the FOIA community expect the group's report to help garner support for reform measures lawmakers may introduce this month to coincide with Sunshine Week March 11-16.
Meanwhile, last Thursday, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, the panel with jurisdiction over the FOIA, introduced two bills related to openness in government.
The first, the Presidential Records Act Amendments (H.R. 1255), would nullify an executive order giving presidents broad authority to withhold presidential records, restoring public access to those documents. The second, the Presidential Library Donation Reform Act (H.R. 1254), would require the disclosure of donors to presidential libraries.
