- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10414717412070.7441.1 flat trajectory, angled in and Tamim again pads up - Dharmasena gives it! Third time he's tried that and although Tamim reviews, it looks like a misjudgement from the batsman. Struck just outside the line, which doesn't matter as he wasn't playing a shot, and Hawk-Eye has it clipping the top of off stump, umpire's call. DRS can't save him on this occasion and, after a wonderful knock, Tamim goes! 171/21390033.332.2 short and wide, Imrul cuts... straight to point, he's thrown it away! England are a-whoopin' and a-hollerin' in celebration at the breakthrough and Woakes has his first wicket of the tour. Certainly not his best ball but Imrul made little attempt to keep it down and picked out the fielder, Duckett jumping to take the catch just above head height 1/16611118410059.4545.3 done him! Lovely bowling from Moeen. This slides on with the arm from round the wicket, Mominul misjudges the length, goes back to what was quite a full delivery and the ball skids past the inside edge 190/31326401150.0050.4 reward for Stokes! This has been a superb spell. Back of a length outside off and that's a really weak prod, without any footwork, from Mahmudullah which offers a simple catch to the lone slip. Poor shot, but created by Stokes' work in this spell. 196/41032690031.2560.4 width, outswing, full length, a pitiful waft outside off, and another edge to the keeper! Shakib was steering a sinking ship to be fair, but that was a limp way to depart 215/9412140033.3353.1 what a grab! Cook at leg slip, with a juggle. Mushfiqur came down the pitch, went to flick the ball to leg, the inside edge travels very quickly to leg slip. It rebounds off Cook's hand, goes upwards, gives him the chance to grab it again as it comes off his chest 201/5065000.0054.3 and another! What an afternoon for England...nibbles at a full delivery outside off, feet caught in the crease, sends a regulation edge to Bairstow's right. Takes it neatly 202/6618131033.3358.2 a bit of width, a wide half-volley really, but Hom was never in position for a swooshy drive. A simple nick through to Bairstow and Bangladesh's collapse continues! 212/71670016.6659.3 huge appeal as Mehedi sweeps! Round the wicket and very, very full! England review and little wonder, this could be in line with leg. Certainly no bat involved ... indeed, it's another one for poor Dharmasena to have to overturn! 213/8not out512171041.6601011000.0063.5 edged, gone! Five for Moeen, and completed with a sharp diving catch at slip from Joe Root! Bangladesh have lost their last nine wickets for 49 in 22.5 overs.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14121730116.664.1 zipping on! Cook is pinned on the back foot and Bangladesh are reviewing this! He's so far back, but all three stumps are visible. This is leg stump or bust ... and it's bust for Cook! And, poor old Kumar, another overrule! 24/21.5 turning sharply down the leg side and Duckett has been strangled! Closing the face as he followed the spin and grazing a catch straight into Mushfiqur's gloves! 10/1561221554045.9043.3 huge moment! This skids on and traps him on the back foot. Doesn't bother with the review. Perhaps wasn't as short as Root thought, he was playing deep in the crease, the ball slides past the bat and crashes into the back pad in front of middle leg 144/810.2 this time he's edged it! The perfect length, full outside off, draws him forward, ball straightens enough to take the edge. Ballance didn't chase it. Just a lovely piece of bowling 42/31017131058.8214.3 bowled him, straight through as Moeen sweep, first of the day! An ill-judged shot, perhaps pre-meditated, but the delivery was slightly wide of off and skidding on, no turn this time and it goes under the bat to clip off stump. Mehedi bellows in celebration! 64/415.4 stays back, edged on to pad, short leg plunges forward... Umpire Ravi wants to check it carried but Stokes it already heading off! Yes, replays confirm Mominul got his hands under the ball, sharp spin for Taijul and Stokes could only jam it on to his thigh pad, gone for a duck. Bangladesh have another, England on the ropes here! 69/52448580050.0032.1 darted on the stumps, Bairstow plays across the line - pinned in front! Immediate success for Bangladesh's wunderkind and there'll not be a review, not the wisest choice of shot to a fresh line of attack and Mehedi got it to scuttle on, a bit like Bairstow's first-innings dismissal in Chittagong. Rapped him on the knee plumb in front of off stump 114/61331331041.9340.6 this time the edge carries and is held! Another five for Mehedi. Probing away outside off, brings Ansari forward, grips another to take the edge and is well caught by the second slip which had just been brought in after those previous edges. Good captaincy, good bowling, good catching 140/7461221394037.7080.4 and that's the breakthrough! Mehedi again (and the new ball). Woakes going to flick this off his pads, gets a thick inside edge which flies quickly towards leg slip who holds a sharp catch. Stand ends at 99 243/9not out441071322041.1281.3 and that's that! A regulation outside edge as Finn props forward and a neat catch. Did Rashid get that right? Lovely delivery, asking a lot of the No. 11 against the new ball 244/10Extras21 (b 13, lb 7, nb 1)TOTAL244 all out (81.3 Overs, RR: 2.99, 296 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Ben Duckett, 1.5 ov), 2-24 (Sir Alastair Cook, 4.1 ov), 3-42 (Gary Ballance, 10.2 ov), 4-64 (Moeen Ali, 14.3 ov), 5-69 (Ben Stokes, 15.4 ov), 6-114 (Jonny Bairstow, 32.1 ov), 7-140 (Zafar Ansari, 40.6 ov), 8-144 (Joe Root, 43.3 ov), 9-243 (Chris Woakes, 80.4 ov), 10-244 (Steven Finn, 81.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4047477085.1012.5 inside edge, onto the bat, and snaffled at leg slip, for Ansari's maiden Test wicket! That leg-side line pays off in the end, as Tamim is cramped for room and can't keep his clip down 65/1781201839065.0045.1 Imrul sweeps, misses the ball - given! England finally get one, looked pretty plumb on the replay, hitting the front pad in line with middle stump. Excellent knock from Imrul, though he would have loved to convert it to a hundred 200/41220050.0013.1 round the wicket, banged in short, a loose flinch outside off, and a low snaffle at slip from Cook! Stokes cannot stay out of the action for long, and suddenly England are surging. He was very very wide on the crease there, so wide that they checked for that rarest of beasts, the back-foot no-ball. But it's all clear. And it's all gone quiet in Mirpur 66/24757825082.4530.6 what a shot to play with three minutes to play! What was he doing?! Sweeps across the line of a full ball, misses, and the stumps are clattered. Can only be a brain fade from Mahmudullah. And, in fact, that has turned out to the last ball of the day...jeepers 152/34181946050.6154.5 chopped on! Big spin. Round the wicket, this grips out of the footmarks, rags in at Shakib who is playing back. Gets cramped for room trying to cut and bottom edges into his off stump 238/5929501031.0355.6 edged, taken! Stokes again. In the channel outside off, back of a length, Mushfiqur feeling for it and a healthy edge travels quickly to Cook who takes a smart catch 238/61517273088.2360.3 trapped him lbw! The quicker, straighter delivery and Sabbir is playing back. Caught right in front of all three. Well bowled by Rashid, did the batsman with the length 268/7not out2528474089.2854410125.0061.3 there's another one, nicked low to the keeper! Not much in the way of celebration from Stokes, he knows the real battle is to come... Pitched up outside off, got Taijul driving and Bairstow did well to snaffle a low grab 273/82850025.0062.6 Mehedi charges, the ball ends up at slip... another one gone! Looked initially like it might have been a stumping chance but there was actually a thickish edge as Mehedi swung for the hills and Root was alive to it and held the chance this time 276/979140177.7766.5 swiped straight up in the air and Rashid takes the catch! Rabbi's top-edges his way out of it, he wasn't suggesting permanence but at least he hung around for a bit. Rashid finishes with a four-for 296/10Extras26 (b 17, lb 7, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL296 all out (66.5 Overs, RR: 4.42, 282 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-65 (Tamim Iqbal, 12.5 ov), 2-66 (Mominul Haque, 13.1 ov), 3-152 (Mahmudullah, 30.6 ov), 4-200 (Imrul Kayes, 45.1 ov), 5-238 (Shakib Al Hasan, 54.5 ov), 6-238 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 55.6 ov), 7-268 (Sabbir Rahman, 60.3 ov), 8-273 (Taijul Islam, 61.3 ov), 9-276 (Mehidy Hasan, 62.6 ov), 10-296 (Kamrul Islam, 66.5 ov)
- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR591171295050.4233.5 off the face of the bat and pocketed at silly point! That was a snaffle worthy of Eknath Solkar, just watching like a hawk as Cook loomed forward and keeping his hands soft on impact. Amazing scenes, and that is ten in the match for Mehedi! 127/55664827187.5023.1 skids through and Duckett is gone first ball! Stunning riposte from Mehedi, pushes through quicker, Duckett was playing for turn but was trapped on the back foot and in no position to save his stumps from being splattered! 100/11240050.0024.1 tossed up, nailed on the shin, and that's out! Root was non-committal on the front foot, he thinks for a moment then shakes his head and trots off to his death-bed. Should he have fronted up so soon after his illness? It's academic now ... 105/2514260035.7131.2 good grief, that is awful! A filthy long-hop, Ballance panicked himself into an aggressive response, and spanged a horrible leading edge high to mid-off! He traipses off in disgust, and Bangladesh have prised another opening! 124/3043000.0031.6 on the front foot, doesn't spin, spanks the pad and up goes the finger! Moeen reviews but this looked plumb to the naked eye. Halfway up the front foot, and no inside edge. Hitting leg and England are in strife once more! 124/42536502169.4442.3 done it! Shakib gets past Stokes outside edge with a straight delivery into off stump. Stokes goes down on his knees and Shakib brings out the salute celebration! Stokes just seemed to play down the wrong line. Straighter deliveries on this surface, offering so much, are dangerous 161/737.3 big inside edge, loops to leg slip for a dolly of a catch! Was a straight delivery, which gripped and turned to take the inside edge. Then flew off the pad for an easy catch. Another five-for for Mehedi 139/6not out917410052.94013000.0042.4 first ball! With a ripper. This is quite full, Rashid is playing back, gets completely squared. Hits the back leg. But he reviews. Has it pitched in line with leg stump? That's the only question. Waiting for the graphics. Pitches in line. All over! 161/842.6 three in four balls! Amazing scenes in Dhaka! Ansari flicks the ball off his pads and it's grabbed by short leg, one of three men catching on the leg side. Actually, it's even more amazing. It's a bobble from Mominul at short leg which is grabbed on the rebound by Imrul who is next to him 161/9089000.0045.3 it's all over! Finn flicks across the line, gets taken on the back leg and Dharmasena raises the finger for one last time in this series. He was going to ask for a review, but England have none left.

text: I finished two of these penguin pincushions this morning and got them photographed and listed in my Etsy Shop. I had fun with these! I love penguins. When my daughter was little she was obsessed with them for a time. She collected penguin books and did a report on them at school. We read "Mr Popper's Penguins" aloud several times and then a few years later were disappointed with the movie version that was so different from the book. We watched "March Of The Penguins" and "Happy Feet". So here is my interpretation of an emperor penguin and its chick. I've used chilly shades of blue and grey for the top and sides. The side band has hand embroidered waves done using a variegated thread in white/blue/grey to represent the icy waters of the Antarctic Ocean. The base of the pincushion is a golden yellow which is what is giving the background of the photos a bit of a glow!

Weekly Standard: The Iraq War Is Not Over
Read the full article at The Weekly Standard
Sectarian war has reignited in Iraq. Iranian-backed Shia militias have remobilized, Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) is conducting an intensive and escalating campaign of spectacular attacks against Shia targets, and some of the former Baathist insurgents are staging an effective campaign against the Iraqi Security Forces in the vicinity of Mosul.
The deteriorating security results from two trends that have caused both Sunni and Shia extremists to mobilize and gain traction. The first is Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's deliberate marginalization and ouster of prominent Sunni national politicians, which has led to a six-month-long Sunni protest movement. The killing of 53 protesters and wounding of another 200 in Hawijah on April 23 caused some protesters to rejoin the insurgency. The second trend is
the radicalization and mobilization of Shia militants, both to serve in Syria and to oppose Al Qaeda in Iraq.
Sunni extremists
Prime Minister Maliki's consistent targeting of his Sunni political rivals has removed two senior Sunni politicians from his cabinet. Former vice president Tariq al-Hashemi is living in exile and has been sentenced in absentia to death on terrorism charges brought after the arrest and torture of his bodyguards the day U.S. forces left Baghdad in 2011. Former finance minister Rafi al-Issawi, whose bodyguards were similarly targeted in December 2012, has led the Sunni protest movement, which has spread from Anbar all across the northern provinces and into Baghdad.
That nonviolent protest movement has been radicalizing since Maliki postponed provincial elections in Anbar and Ninevah. Those elections were finally held on June 20, months after the rest of the country had voted. And the movement has turned increasingly violent since the January killing of several protesters in Fallujah and a deliberate military maneuver on the protest camp in Hawijah in April that left 200 casualties. After these events, Maliki attempted to arrest tribal and protest movement leaders, generating further active and passive support for AQI and other extremist groups, such as the neo-Baathist organization Jaysh Rijal al-Tariq al-Naqshabandia (JRTN).
Since January, AQI and the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) have conducted spectacular attacks in Baghdad and the south, such as those that rocked Mahmudiya, Hillah, Madain, Nasiriyah, Kut, and Basra on June 10, resulting in more than 180 casualties. And since March, many of their signature car and truck bombs have targeted Shia religious sites and neighborhoods. This sectarian targeting has increased over the past month, as Shia militia groups have mobilized in Baghdad, conducting execution- style killings of Sunnis and morality killings in Shia neighborhoods. AQI/ISI attacks now occur nearly weekly.
AQI and ISI still function as terrorist groups, and Ansar al Islam, another Sunni extremist movement, is increasingly active as well. But the main body of the Sunni insurgency even in 2006 consisted of former Baath party members, often with military backgrounds, who conducted small-arms attacks and planted improvised explosive devices (IEDs) against U.S. and Iraqi Security Forces. The JRTN has been present at protest sites, including the one at Hawijah where Iraqi Security Forces killed numerous civilians. Since that incident, there has been an uptick in the number of highly accurate small-arms attacks inside Mosul proper, as well as IEDs in Qayarah, the approach to Mosul from the south. These attacks primarily target Iraqi Security Forces. Given the similarity of historical and current attack patterns, it appears that the JRTN is now resurgent in Mosul and fighting the Iraqi Security Forces.
As Iraq analyst Stephen Wicken notes,
The protesters have been dissipating from the protest sites this week, something that should be expected at this time, as the provincial elections in Anbar and Ninevah were held on 20 June. But the rising violence trends, and in particular, the attacks that do not bear the AQI/ISI hallmark, suggest that some Sunni have given up on the political process and are resorting to arms to resist the Maliki government. This trend has accelerated also after the fall of al Qusayr in Syria, which, because of the involvement of Hezbollah, has become a rallying cry for Sunni in the region. And as Maliki deploys ISF into Anbar and Ninevah in order to secure the provincial elections, the opportunity for violent opposition to the ISF increases.
There is thus a new inflection point in the Iraq conflict. The peaceful Sunni protest movement appears to be becoming an armed insurgency in northern Iraq.
Shia militias
Another Iranian-backed Shia militia, Asaib Ahl al Haq (AAH), has been responsible for the deaths of many American soldiers through its lethal Explosively Formed Projectiles. This group too began remobilizing in Baghdad in early May. AAH has been fighting alongside Lebanese Hezbollah at a prominent Shia shrine in Damascus since 2012. AAH's intensified presence in Baghdad is roughly concurrent with Lebanese Hezbollah's mobilization of a 2,000-man fighting force sent to Syria to reinforce the siege of Qusayr.
Shia militias have mobilized in Iraq and have resumed extrajudicial killings in Baghdad, Diyala, and Hillah. Since parading in a Baghdad soccer stadium ostensibly to celebrate its tenth anniversary, in front of leader Qais al Khazali, who was long in U.S. custody for his role in the murder of five American soldiers in 2007, AAH took to the streets.
The groups are responding in part to the wave of Al Qaeda in Iraq attacks on May 20 and 27, an escalating campaign of suicide bombings. The first attacks targeted the approaches to Baghdad and several sites around the country, the second hit the Shia and mixed fault-line neighborhoods that were contested in 2006-07.
By early June AAH had resumed some of the violent behaviors that characterized Shia militant attacks against Iraqis in 2006-07: establishment of false checkpoints, ID checking, kidnapping people from their cars or public places, and executing them. For example, two people were kidnapped from a bus stop near Baghdad University in the late afternoon, and their bodies were found in western Baghdad at a traditional 2006 dumping site, hands bound, shot in the head or chest, a few days later. AAH has also resumed executions with silenced weapons of other targets
with an intent to intimidate: whether pulling shopkeepers from their homes and killing them and their families; executing teachers; executing liquor store owners and conducting other morality policing. These events have occurred in areas not far from Sadr City, as well as in Diyala, in places familiar during the violence of 2006--07. The militias are evidently reasserting their control of East Baghdad while projecting checkpoints into West Baghdad.
Some of the militia activity is occurring within sight of Iraqi Security Forces checkpoints. Maliki is either tolerating it or has lost control over the escalation. In any case, politicians will not be able to check this violent retribution, which has a dynamic of its own—as Americans learned all too well in the wake of the Samarra mosque bombing in 2006.
Not all Shia groups are fanning the flames of sectarian reprisals. Even so, the current mobilization is unlikely to be limited. Some Shia militias are targeting Sunni mosques with IEDs in retribution for AQI attacks. The mobilization of AAH makes it hard for the Sadrist fighters to stay neutral, even when ordered to do so by their leader, Moktada al-Sadr, who has repeatedly instructed them not to reignite sectarian conflict. Rogue Sadrist elements—against Sadr's orders—have paraded in areas south of Baghdad.
In contrast, AAH's political bureau chief, Adnan al-Dulaimi, stated that AAH "is ready for [mobilization] and we are ready to protect our people." Indeed, friction between the Sadrist Trend and its AAH splinter is running high, after AAH attempted to assassinate Hazem al-Araji, one of the most prominent Sadrists, near the Kadhimiya shrine, a sacred site in Baghdad where he has served as a key patron.
The Sadrist Trend has allied itself with Sunni political parties and Kurds in Diyala and Baghdad to control the leadership of the newly elected provincial councils, freezing out Maliki's coalition. This odd alliance creates new opportunities for Sunni political participation in two swing provinces, where the sectarian fault lines are deepest. But it is difficult to imagine a political settlement that would gain the support of the remobilizing former Baathist elements or the rekindled AQI/ISI.
The United States
The United States must no longer unconditionally back Maliki, who has created this circumstance by choosing to target his Sunni political opponents and by tolerating violence against civilians in the protest movement. The United States cannot simply support the Iraqi Security Forces, which are tolerating the Shia militants willing to kill Sunni civilians. Iraqi Security Forces, even if supported by the United States, cannot target AQI without being able to separate it from the Sunni population.
Secretary of State John Kerry has used the limited leverage that the United States has to try to stop Iraq from allowing Iranian overflights to Syria. This is the least efficient use of our leverage, even though the strategic principle is sound, because Maliki has neither the capability nor the will to stop the Iranian regime from supporting Assad. It is no surprise that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Quds Force has staged inspections of its own aircraft to prove that Iraq is not permitting arms to transit its airspace.
There are, however, ways that the United States could use its leverage to influence the behavior of the Maliki government, although not to arrest the violence entirely. First and foremost, the United States needs to condition the provision of arms, equipment, and training to the Iraqi Security Forces on Maliki's respect for the representative political system, humanitarian treaties Iraq has signed, and inclusive political solutions. These include dropping his legal charges against the cabinet members and protest leaders, meeting the reasonable demands of the protesters for transparency and de-Baathification measures, and implementing the promised terms of the 2010 Erbil Agreement by which he achieved the premiership. It is also vital that Maliki not tolerate Shia militant groups.
Second, the United States can block the United Nations from lifting Iraq's onerous Chapter VII status, even though Kuwait has at long last agreed to support the change, until Maliki makes those concessions. Those who argue that conditioning aid is difficult must note that our failure to condition our aid has empowered Maliki disproportionately. His deliberate disenfranchisement of the Sunni population is the main accelerant to insurgency in Iraq.
Iraq sits at the heart of the Middle East and straddles the sectarian divide. The United States once hoped that, with American help, Iraq could decelerate sectarian conflict, serve as a buffer against an expanding Iran, and be an ally against al Qaeda. The United States had largely achieved those political conditions—fragile though the achievement was—by the time American troops departed. But that is not the Iraq we have today. The United States must no longer imagine that it has a friendly government in Baghdad with which to work, or that Iraq is stable enough to buffer the region against the sectarian war that is brewing in its heartland.

Hey there every peoples!
Long time no see. So what's my excuse this time? Just the usual this time a year: Live Oak music Festival (our 13th year going and volunteering), the Fourth of July, and then just lots of other little stuff. But the good news is I finally managed to get my hands on a voice-recognition program! I was able to find one on Amazon for only $40. This is my first time trying it out so hopefully this will really help improve my typing so I can get these posts to you guys on a more regular basis (like I used to when I first started). But enough about me, today's post is about someone special. Well he may not be so special when you consider the nature of the Internet but for me he kind of is special. It seems my blog is really coming along. In the roughly 2 1/2 years I've been running it I've somehow garnered over 30,000 views. I have had many people, some who I never met before, tell me that they liked it. And it seems my blog has taken just one more step to towards… bloghood (yeah, let's just go with that for now). You see ladies and gentlemen, I have gotten my very first troll!
But who is this troll you may ask? Well do you remember a little blog post I wrote called the "Tragedy of Lone Star"? In case you haven't here is the gist of it: I chronicled the unfortunate journey of a large mastodon skull found in Texas from a gravel pit to a garage and into the hands of a creationist who then put it up for auction to pay off some debts. Well it seems this creationist has found my post and he was not very happy. He left several comments that amounted to little more than inane vitriol and mudslinging tirades without anything really sustentative. I will admit some of his words did sting me. Half a year ago I probably would've curled up in a ball hoping I would die, thinking myself some kind of epic failure. But not this time. I have the tools and the people to help me in my battle against the Noonday Demon. And because of them I am not as weak as I used to be. Which means instead of getting depressed about this single man's harsh words, I will treat him as all trolls should be treated: by tackling the problem head-on and tearing his idiotic screeds to shreds. In essence there are quite a few doozies so we best dive right in.
Hey there whoever you are,
I am Ripper, Tearer, Slasher, Gouger! I am the teeth to the darkness, the talons in the night! Mine is strength, and lust, and power! I AM BEOWULF! Sorry sorry I just couldn't resist.
I went between laughing and being mad at your drivvle about the Lone Star mastodon.
Well I do to make people laugh when I can. Calling my stuff drivel, eh? Gee, I must've struck a nerve!
You should have invested a little effort in fact-checking. Too chicken to call the person you're trying to villanize? Most of you armchair fossil lovers are.
What can I say, I did the best I could. Not only did I read several news articles containing direct quotes from him and other folks involved in the whole debacle but I also did go through the little PDF pamphlet that he printed to go along with the skull. I mean yeah perhaps I could've called him but let's face it I was writing a blog post, not an article from major news outlet. Besides, the stuff from the pamphlet as well as… well, pretty much anything on his website makes it perfectly clear that Joe Taylor is a creationist. Maybe I didn't call him out of fear that he probably would have dragged the conversation into another debate over evolution. As we all know creationists never have anything new to offer the debate; so calling him and getting bogged down in a pointless argument would've been a waste time. And the comment about being "chicken" and an "armchair fossil lover" is just him puffing up his chest trying to sound all big and tough.
Are you too lazy to go work like Mike and I did?
Just a basic ad hominem attack. This shows that this Joe Taylor guy doesn't know me. But if he bothered to read over my blog he would have known that I'm not in the field not because I'm lazy but because I really don't have that much opportunity at the moment. A lot of people who are interested in paleontology don't do all the work that professional paleontologists do because a lot of them don't really live near a major museum. So you see Joe it's not laziness, it's just a lack of resources not specific to me.
And your whining about other people finding fossils you should have…?? LOL!
That's mischaracterization and I guess "whining" qualifies as ad hominem. Nowhere in my post did I say that I, the Central Coast Paleontologist, had to have the skull or other fossils that I "whine" about. I simply argue that the skull should've been in a museum. In fact, since I'm such an advocate of local fossils staying local, I'd say the skull should've stayed in a Texas Museum. We are only halfway through the comment and Joe is already showing how intellectually bankrupt his argument is by relying on such fallacies as name-calling, strawmen, and as we will soon find out, flat out lying.
You live in California idiot. Fossils are everywhere! Get out of your baby chair and go find some. Grow up.
Add "Idiot" and "baby chair" to the ad hominem tally. I know that there are fossils everywhere (that word… so right and yet so wrong). Believe me. I've been trying my damnedest to go out and find fossils. But it's not as easy as Joe apparently thinks it is. For starters I'm just a college student. I don't have near enough money to fund some of the major excavations that museums undertake. Furthermore I don't always have the time to go out and look for stuff usually because I'm busy with school. But I would say that the biggest hurdle is probably the most obvious (well maybe not to Joe). Go over to the Hit List and look at all the places hope to search someday. What do they all have in common? All of them (or at least the greater majority) are on government lands. You need a permit just to go out and look for stuff. In order to actually dig up fossils and move them out, you need a detailed curation plan. That requires a museum (as does the provision that the specimens must go to an approved repository). I doubt that I could just get a space over at the storage facility and have the government except that as a suitable repository for fossils. So until I can get my own building somewhere, invertebrates and plants are about all I can collect. Considering that I want to be a scientist and even open my own museum means I have to do everything right. And that means setting up a proper repository before I can actually go find vertebrate fossils.
Quit wasting your time in school and go to work for a real museum like I did and learn bones from the atheist evolutionists like I did.
Uh, did he just tell me to stop "wasting time" with school? Sure I've had trouble with school and had been there longer then I probably should've been. But I don't want to just dig up fossils. I want to teach people about them I want to even study them and try to learn their secrets. Sure there one, maybe two, self-taught paleontologists out there. But I'm not them. If I want to fulfill my lifelong dream of becoming a paleontologist and opening my own museum I need an education. And as I noted above I don't exactly have the resources to just dive in and work with fossils. Tthe biggest museum on the Central Coast (actually the biggest museum between Los Angeles and San Francisco) barely has a paleontology collection to speak of. It doesn't have a paleontology curator and thus their paleontology program is nonexistent. I did volunteer for one summer in 2008 helping them work on their newfound mammoth. The last couple of years I went on those field trips to Red Rock Canyon with the LA Museum (last year I found a camel ulna). I have also gone on those paleontology and geology field trips to the San Bernardino County Museum. Plain and simple, I'm doing the best I can with what's available to me. Since he takes the time to brand paleontologists as "atheist evolutionists", Joe reveals yet again that he's a creationist who is interested in fossils for religious interests, not scientific ones. But more on that later.
You guys are so "brave on the web" and gutless in person
Just more of Joe trying to sound like such a big bad man. And again he doesn't even know me.
Come to my museum and see what we do with fossils
One: your website makes clear what you guys do with fossils. You try to use them as props in your failing effort to prove an ancient myth. Two: I live in California and your museum is in Texas. How do you propose I get there, use the Tardus? Even if I did have the means to visit your museum I wouldn't. Creationists use the same tired old arguments over and over and over so visiting his place wouldn't offer me anything new or challenging. Besides there are so many real museums east of the Rockies I could visit instead. Like the Burpee Museum of Natural History in Rockford, Illinois. Or the fabulous new Paleontology Hall that just opened up at the Houston Museum of Natural Sciences. I loved the Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, North Carolina. And of course there's the Smithsonian's legendary National Museum of Natural History. So can someone please explain why I should forego all of these just to visit his podunk little shrine to pseudoscience?
Or maybe you don't really have any passion for fossils, you just like to throw rocks from a safe distance.
Yet more mindless ad hominem attacks. There are plenty of people out there (some of them professional paleontologists) who can attest to my passion for fossils.
Your article was disgusting. You have the book I did on Lone Star, my contact info is in there, give me a call. I don't bite.
Why? At the moment I have absolutely no reason to call him. Especially considering this guy is willing to distort science for Jesus.
All right on the second comment:
Hey Paleoblogger, why don't you invest some time in Mexico. There are so many mammoth remains there that one top secular, evolutionist paleontologist whom you would accept said to me that, in Mexico, "You have to dig through the mammoths to get to the dinosaurs." And since no one can sell the bones, those "evil" commercial guys won't be digging there and upsetting you.
Why don't I invest time in Mexico? The same reasons I listed above: I don't have the resources and unless he's referring to Baja, it's simply not a place I want to prospect. I'm interested in fossils of the American West; Joe would've known that if he bothered doing his research. And again he has to note that a paleontologist is secular and "evolutionist" (as if that pathetic label had any actual bearing on the situation). But moving to Mexico to do paleontology wouldn't really solve the problem. I mean there'd still be people selling fossils up in the states. Running from a problem never solves anything.
This one was in response to a comment someone left on the original Lone Star entry:
Asbet: What "mistreatment are you talking about? The mastodon skull is in a museum. I didn't get one penny from its sale. Would you have cried if you saw the skull laying on a cement floor broken up? Or scooped up and stored in some garage where no one would see it? What is so horrible about a beautiful and important skull being thoroughly studied, documented and restored and made available to the public? Was it horrible that good casts were sent to other museums for kids to see? You need to get your info from the source and not some wannabe paleo blogger. You have a personal invitation to my museum and a personal tour of what we do.
And what museum might that be Joe? In addition to being a creationist Joe apparently has terrible reading comprehension. In my original entry I stated that I had contacted both the auction house and Joe Taylor and they both told me that the skull ended up at a private museum in New Mexico off view to the public. So the fact that the skull ended up in a private museum (as stated by both the auction house and the guy who hocked it) automatically refutes his claim that the skull is available to the public. And studied and documented? How? I scoured Google scholar and found absolutely no papers even mentioning this specimen. And yes it was thoroughly restored but that's the problem. Restoration is only done for exhibits and even then it's nowhere near the extent that Joe did. That is because museums want people to appreciate the original fossil, to be able to see the original material. For fucks sake, judging from the photos Lone Star is covered in so much makeup that you can't tell what the real fossil is and what isn't. But probably the biggest problem Joe has with this little tirade is he's not being specific. He's not saying what museum the skull ended up then. He's not saying this study and documentation is. He's not saying which museums the casts went to. I can't help but feel like he's leaving out the specific details because he doesn't want anyone following up on them to see if they're true or not.
And now for the grand finale: comment number four:
Kenneth: can you name any paleontologists whom you accept who work for free? I know numerous real paleontologists, many are atheists and evolutionists, and ALL of them work for money, and if they didn't sell their time working on fossils they would have to get a job that did pay. From your self-descripytion, you are not a Christian but an evolutionist. The two are not compatible. You and your paleo blogger, here, are ignorant. You too have a personal invitation from me — the guy who saved Lone Star from remaining obscure — to come tour my museum and see what we actually do here.
His screed about paleontologists working for money is a red herring. Paleontologists work out of a passion for discovery, learning, and helping us understand the world around us. Besides, paleontologists don't make that much. In fact, all those paleontologists working at museums usually teach at the local college as well to help pay the bills. Paleontologists have told me that this is a science that you have to really love to participate in because the pay aint so great. So what if they get paid. Have you seen the society we live in? People need money just to be able to live. Just because paleontologists get paid for doing their job doesn't mean that they are in it solely for the money. And last I checked, they weren't auctioning off priceless fossils to dig themselves out of a hole. Also note how Joe says that Kenneth is not a Christian. This is what's known as the No True Scotsman fallacy. It's a favorite of creationists. When a Christian doesn't follow a creationist's ultra literal interpretation of the Bible, they are labeled as not being a Christian. Even if they still believe in God, read the Bible, and go to church. You know everything that makes a Christian a Christian. It just demonstrates yet again how intellectually bankrupt creationists are. It shows just how narrow minded and dogmatic they are. There is no middle ground. There is no other side of the issue. It's just their fanatical interpretation of the Bible and nothing else. If you don't think exactly like they do you are the enemy.
And lastly yes, you did save Lone Star from obscurity. In the worst way possible way! Lone Star only got a brief spat of fame because you decided to sell him to save your own ass. He was remembered because he was being labeled as 40,000 years old by someone who thinks the age of the earth is only 6000. Once the terrible deed was done, he vanished back into obscurity. I have scoured the internet and have found no trace of Lone Star. No scientific papers, no museum pages, and only news articles from the time he was auctioned. Nothing else exists. If Lone Star was in a public museum they would have a page about him. Considering he's possibly the biggest mastodon ever found, I'm pretty sure a museum would be really proud of that. Even if it was a cast their website would say something. When I type "Lone Star" mastodon into Google, I find nothing. This only confirms what Joe and the auction house had originally told me: that lone Star ended up in some private museum away from the world. So when Joe says that Lone Star is in the museum being studied and enjoyed by the public, and that there are casts that other museums, either he is straight up lying or there is something he is leaving out. Science demands repeatability, the ability to go back and check someone else's work to see if it was right or not. Since Joe's comments cannot be verified (because he won't give the names of the museums or the papers that included research on the skull) it is incredibly difficult to take him at his word. Who knows: the world may never see Lone Star again.
Plain and simple, this is just some guy who got upset because someone called him out on his bullshit. He lashes out with name-calling and logical fallacies in hopes that his pathetic attempt at bullying will shut me up or cause people to take him seriously. There is nothing about this guy to take seriously. Not only did he sell a valuable fossil, but he is also a creationist. Believing all science to be flawed, he attempts to use fossils to prop up his fragile faith in a Bronze Age myth. As a creationist, he distorts the facts and promotes forgeries in a demented caricature of what science actually does. There are no free spots in the market place of ideas. If you want a spot, you have to be able to stand up to rigorous testing and scientific scrutiny. Creationism fails to fulful either and yet it's proponants (like Joe) demand it be put on the same level as evolution or or geology, or any other facet of scientific fact. Creationists don't want to teach people about the world and how it came to be. The only wants to sell a very narrow minded, ill-informed version of history and justify it by calling it God's work. Joe is not a paleontologist but a religious zealot. And it is for this reason that his childish words and macho posturing does not faze me in the slightest. It is merely water over a ducks back for I know in my heart that I'm on the right side of the debate. That is the side that sees fossils like Lone Star as valuable clues to the riddle of our past and not as cash cows or trinkets claimed to support a failed ideology.
Till next time!

Everyone who likes delicious home-made food and dogs is welcome to our farm. Our cellar is filled with top-notch wines of Vipava wine road. You can sample the wines together with traditional air-dried meat products. You can relax with your beloved dog in a purposely arranged playground, and you can spend the night in idyllic rustic apartments which have the view of the lower Vipava Valley.
Vipava Valley is situated between two Karst plateaus, Trnovo forest with Hrušica to the north and Trieste-Komen Karst to the south. It is one of the most original areas in Slovenia. You can see the sea at a distance of 12 kilometres.
As the valley opens to the west, it still has the main characteristics of a moderate sub-Mediterranean climate. Wind is an important factor here. The warm south-westerly called "mornik" comes to the valley across Karst bringing warm and moist Mediterranean masses, which result in heavy rainfall because of high barriers.
Bora wind is a strong and gusty north-easterly. It is the strongest in winter, bringing cold air to the valley. All these climatic characteristics are the guarantee for us to process our traditional air-dried meat specialties such as Vipava air-dried ham, salamis, bacon, pressed sausages as well as some other exclusive products which can't fail to pleasantly surprise every guest. It is our wish to respect the tradition and to adopt modern approaches in order to preserve and upgrade successful farming.

New Gym Floor!
Submitted by Kellie Langenhop on
For four weeks in April Mr. B held his PE classes outdoors. No, it's not part of a new outdoor curriculum. Actually, it was because we were given an opportunity to completely refurbish the gym floor. Since the gym was built back in the late '70s, the gym has been closed for a week once or twice a year for a gentle refinish. This year, thanks to a generous donation, we were able to accomplish a complete overhaul.

Rear - Driver side seatbelt Not usable...
Rear - Driver side seatbelt Not usable...
It is very sensitive to the angle that you pull at. If you try to pull it towards the front of the car it may snag. Try pulling it so it is perpendicular to the slot it is coming out of - i.e. if it is the rear drivers side, try pulling it towards the passenger door, in other words across the car at 45deg, towards the clip receiver.
huh? It can't be a problem with all cars, mine works fine, and I think this is the first time I saw this mentioned.
I had this very problem happen to me during the Get Amp Tour test drive. I figured they would fix it in the production model... I guess not.
From what portia has indicated it's time to call someone besides the Fremont service center because it's not an issue in all cars. Wish I had mine, I'd go check and let you know.
There was a topic posted about ignoring what the reps say in general because they all have different answers.... not that I can find it, there is no search engine. It almost seems easier to come here first and ask for the general consensus from owners first.
Picked up our Model S three weeks ago and have the exact same problem with my son trying to pull the belt out and buckle up in his booster seat.
The only easy way to get the belt to come out is to pull it up and out (vs. just forward as you would sitting in the seat) which requires assistance.....every time. Let's hope they figure out a fix soon, it's on my list.
If you want to search TM's whole site, use any search engine with site:www.teslamotors.com/ in the search field.
Yeah, JIT (Just In Time) manufacture, with inventory arriving as needed and not stockpiled, is tough that way. Another benefit of vertical integration is avoiding "failure to deliver".
Was down at the service center today and there is definitely a difference between my left and right rear seat belts. Drivers side runs fairly freely; passenger side drags. The've added it to the punch list for my car.
My 6 1/2 year old daughter has trouble unbuckling in the Model S but she totally can not buckle up in the car because her booster seat scoots over infront of the buckle. To be fair we have the same issue in our Volvo V50, but she had no problems in the Prius that we are replacing. I'm hoping to just find a good belt buckle extender that works for the Model S. I'm going to start another thread shortly as I can't find any documentation online about what seatbelt extensions/extenders will work with the Model S.

Marlee matlin on Deaf And Police Interaction
Published on Apr 23, 2014
For more information, go to https://www.aclu.org/deafrights
Actress Marlee Matlin, who is deaf and the wife of a police officer, teamed up with ACLU and advocacy group HEARD, on an American Sign Language video to ensure deaf people know their rights when interacting with law enforcement.
When police officers don't realize deaf and hard of hearing people can't hear them, it has led to police officers brutally assaulting deaf people and other tragedies.
While this video aims to ensure that deaf people know their rights, they can only do so much. It is the responsibility of police departments to ensure that their officers are adequately trained.
We are calling on the Department of Justice to conduct trainings with local police departments on how to better interact with the deaf and hard of hearing.
For more information, go to https://www.aclu.org/deafrights
NOTE: During interrogations, the ADA requires qualified interpreters, but certified interpreters should always be used where they are available.

Aldebaran is the first pillar of Inade´s Audio Mythology with walls of solid deep and pulsating sound waves, crushing explosions of stellar noises, wails and voices dragged from the very depths of space itself, along with blanketing swathes of night-encrusted atonal skitterings echoing in dark cathedrals. Re-mastered for vinyl by the hands of Meister Wahnmann (Secretlab), and expanded with additional material using the same recording devices from the original sessions. Presented in gatefold sleeve.
`In the band of Truth my heart is opened. I feel, welling up and flowing through my body, The spring of the one inexorable life. I stand in the power of the Eternal One.´ Ansur-Arahi-sof ur

SCA Changes Up Hosts And Shows On The Hit Network
Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) has announced that the Hit Network's night time hosts Angus O'Loughlin and Emma Freedman will finish up on its Hit30 program this week to take up new opportunities within the radio group.
O'Loughlin will return to Adelaide to join hit107's breakfast show with Cat & Amos, having hosted a national night time show on the Hit Network for the last four years.
"I'm beyond stoked to be returning to Adelaide," O'Loughlin said. "Friends, AFL, Coopers Pale Ale, Hahndorf and hit107. I can't wait to get behind the mic every morning for breakfast with Cat & Amos.
"Growing up I secretly listened to night radio in my bedroom and idolised the format. When I was given the chance to get behind that microphone in Sydney, I had to leave home – I couldn't pass up the opportunity.
"One thousand celebrity interviews later and a thousand dinner dates missed, I'm very ready to swap nights for brekkie and One Direction for Rory Sloane."
Meanwhile, Freedman will remain in Sydney to join The Grill Team on Triple M, and will focus on sport, events and entertainment.
Freedman's voice is already familiar on Triple M, having recently been a roving reporter for The Grill Team during the Rio Olympics and has occasionally filled in for hosts Matty Johns, Mark Geyer and Gus Worland.
Commenting on her new role, Freedman said she is very excited to join The Grill Team on a permanent basis.
"Breakfast radio is a place I've always wanted to work, and this is an incredible opportunity with a great team who have been super welcoming," she said.
"Sport and laughs – I'm pumped for it!"
SCA also announced that Hit30 will be replaced with a new national night-time, music-based show, Ash London Live, hosted by none other than the lady herself.
London returns to the Hit Network having not so long ago hosted nightly countdown show Shazam Top 20.
The Hit Network's head of content Gemma Fordham, said Ash London Live will be a must-listen for music fans in Australia.
"It will be everywhere, curating and breaking the best music on earth," she said. "The show will be relatable, conversational and entertaining."
"Ash is simply brilliant and I couldn't be more delighted that she'll be enhancing the Hit Network line up."
London said she is excited to bring a new kind of show to night-time radio.

KISSING IN AMERICA by Margo Rabb takes an honest look at family, friends, and the world of romance for young adults.
Eva has read 118 romance novels, but real life is much more complicated. After her boyfriend moves to California, she decides to make a cross-country trip to surprise him. This coming-of-age, road-trip adventure explores a wide range of issues from family grief to self-discovery… and a bit of romance.
Readers will easily overlook the silly premise and enjoy Eva's quest. Rabb has an excellent handle on contemporary issues and teen humor making the happiness and heartbreak feel authentic.
This book is difficult to pigeonhole. Librarians need to keep in mind that despite the title, it's not solely a romance. Much of the book deals with Eva's ability to deal with the death of her father and frustrations with her mother. The novel also contains lots of literary connections that could be distracting for youth without a background in literature. However for young adults who enjoy realistic fiction, this book has it all.

ATHENS, Ohio - Ohio Football head coach Frank Solich met with the press on Monday to discuss the Bobcats' bye week and home game against Miami on Tuesday, Oct. 31. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. at Peden Stadium and can be seen on ESPN2 or ESPNU. Here is the complete transcript.
Head Coach Frank Solich
Weekly Press Conference Quotes
Oct. 23, 2017 – Bye/Miami Week
Opening Statement:
"The game started off slowly for us. We did not play extremely well early on. You have to give credit to Kent State. I thought they certainly battled and played hard. They want to win too. We had a slow start, but as the game went on I thought we got better. I was pleased with the outcome and the effort of our guys. We have things that we need to get straightened out. We're dropping too many balls, our passing attack needs to be better, and I think we can be both a very good running team and a very good passing team. We need to hit a higher percentage of our passes. Holding onto the ball would help. We've been hit and miss on taking care of the ball. We did a pretty good job this past game; we won the turnover ratio by one. It's always good to win that. We'd like to win it by two-plus, that's kind of our goal. Overall, it was a pretty good game on both sides of the ball. We had too many penalties on special teams, that's something that needs to be addressed. Our defense is continuing to get better as the year goes on. I think our secondary is showing improvement; I think our linebackers, although they've been banged up, continue to play well. Our guys inside seem to be holding up very well. We've played a number of rush-ends that seemed to hold up, so we'll see how that unfolds as we get later in the season."
On embracing the rivalry between Ohio and Miami:
"It's important to our fans, our student body, and the community, as it is to Miami. When I got here, it was made clear that was our main rival, so I jumped on board. It made sense to do that. You guys know me, that I work at approaching every game the same way. It only takes one game where you're supposed to win, where you should win, and you don't win to understand that. We're serious about every single game that's on the schedule. The Miami games seem to be really important to a lot of people so I made it important to myself. We've worked to uphold our end of the rivalry. It's always been a good, hard fought, physical football game that is always decided on a few plays here and there."
On what kind of time off the players receive during this short bye-week:
"We're giving them three complete days off. We gave them Sunday and today off. They don't even have to come in and look at us. They've earned these days. We're going for about 45 minutes tomorrow."
On the offensive line's role in the rushing attack:
"Nobody gets huge yards in a game without an offensive line that doesn't do their job. We have some of the best backs in the league, but if they can't get to the linebacker depth with blocking then they aren't going to have a very good game. It's [the offensive line's] job to make sure they can get to that linebacker depth, and then it's the back's job after that. The offensive line is paramount in terms of having a good rushing attack. Coach Johnson has done a great job with those guys. We have two freshmen playing, and they're obviously gaining a lot of experience. We've lost Jared McCray for a little bit of time, we've lost Durrell Wood for possibly the rest of the season. You take two guys out of there who have been experiences guys for you, and to replace them, or function without them is a credit to our players and Coach Johnson.
On the success of the option play this year:
"It starts with the quarterback. The way an option play is designed, in order to be successful you have to seal off backers, and that starts with your offensive line. Then, you have to have a quarterback that knows how to attack the defensive end, knows when to pitch it and when to keep it. Nathan seems to have a knack for that, and you can see it in his play. We practice it a lot. We are having success with it. Teams will have to slow that down, and I'm sure they'll work on that…If you have a good inside [running] game that allows you to execute the option well."
On getting Brenden Cope back in the mix against Miami:
"You need all of your weapons against Miami. They're a very good and experience football team. They have eight guys on both sides of the ball from last year's team that were counted on as starters. That's a really experienced football team and they were really good last year. You know that's going to be a factor and you know what you're going to be up against."
On Brenden Cope's status for this week:
"Probably good. Exactly when we'll get them back to practice is the question. We're hoping he can come back and practice three or four days leading up to the game. We've had receivers trying to keep themselves on the field, and the only way to do that lately is to not practice them all of the time because of their injuries. Does that carry over to dropped passes and not being sharp on your routes? When you can't practice a lot does that effect your timing from quarterback to receiver? Sure it does."
On halftime adjustments the team makes:
"We make some adjustments, but it comes down to playing and executing better. Sometimes it takes the early part of the game to get settled down and to look at what we need to do better. There are multiple things that go into the halftime meeting in terms of preparing to play your best game in the second half. Some of it comes down to what the coaches can get done, and some of it comes down to the players having a chance to look at one another in the eye and realize they need to play a better game."
On Dave Johnson's impact on the run game:
"He motivates his guys and he is very thorough. We know that a lineman in our system will be a much better player by the time he gets to his second or third year with Coach Johnson's guidance. He is very particular in his coaching style; he is driven in terms of making sure the guys take the right step. He coaches every single play with the importance of not being one inch off on this or one inch off on that. It can be frustrating being a young guy on the team having a thousand things going through your head. But those frustrations get overridden quickly by proper technique, doing all the right things, and giving yourself as a player the best chance to be a dominant lineman. And that is what Coach Johnson is all about."
On what Coach Johnson does during the games in terms of play calling:
"He is on the headset, communicating and suggesting with our other coaches. When the offensive linemen are off the field he has them over in a group going through what had just happened. Coach Johnson has constant dialogue with all of our coaches, so everyone has a chance to communicate on their thoughts of what plays should happen next."
On embracing the Miami culture and rivalry:
"When you have two teams that have a rivalry you need to jump on board, which I did. I was used to big rivalries in my previous job, so I know how meaningful a rivalry is to the coaches, players and fans. Rivalries are so important to so many people so we continue to utilize that as part of what our game is all about. Miami's players and coaches are great, so you like to have a rivalry with teams that have a historic program and good players."
On Papi White being back as a receiver:
"He is an explosive player. They have to know where he is at on the field all the time. There may be times when a team realizes they have to do some things special to slow him down. It is huge to us to have him back, but in saying that, when our guys are healthy our receivers are fast. We have Cope, who is one of the fastest guys on the team, Papi has great speed and a lot going for himself, and our other receivers also have the ability to be quick threats. We want to get everyone healthy and playing at the top of their level to have a good passing game."
On not focusing on reaching a bowl game:
"We want to keep moving this program forward. We don't want to plateau across the board. Nine-in-a-row bowl eligibility is great, but there are other accomplishments out there we want to get them."
On recruiting players from Florida:
"Florida is a concentrated area for us and we have established some relationships with high school coaches down there, which is helpful. We know that in general, there is a lot of talent down there. At times we will have three coaches in different parts of Florida recruiting. We also go down there to some university's football camps so we can identify players. We are also on national TV a fair amount of time, so we think those Florida kids are watching Ohio play, and can recognize we have a good program here. Our coaches have been around Florida with experience, such as Coach Dixon, who coached down in Florida. They know what is involved in recruiting and have created good relationships with high school coaches. We always start off in Ohio when recruiting then go wherever else we can."
On Florida players being drawn to Ohio over ACC or SEC schools:
"I think when it comes to scouts, pro scouts are here on campus. We have many scouts coming through here and players know if they play good football they can have a chance to get to the NFL from here. Being on national TV like we are is also important for those families who cannot come up for games as much, which is a huge factor in their decision making. When you add it all up, we can go almost anywhere to recruit, and do a good job at it, we even have some connections and players from Canada."
On Chad Moore's development
"It didn't take very long to identify Chad's qualities. Chad is as tough as they get, and put athleticism with toughness, along with him being bright, what's left? We knew he would continue to develop in the program and be a really good player."
On not having to switch out the defense when another team brings out a third wide-out
"There is nothing saying if they bring a third white out on the field that they aren't going to run the ball. Having a linebacker who can pursue and fill gaps is what we are after on a third in medium or a third in long. Teams don't just line up and do what you think or want them to do. Having a guy like Chad who is versatile and the rest of our linebackers we can get away with having him on the field in passing situations."
On having Chad Moore's older brother Keith on the team in the past
"It wasn't a package deal, but he mentioned him. We were alerted to Chad without Keith having to say much about him. Chad wanted to walk on here so it wasn't a deal where we had to go knock his door down. We want players who want to be here, and we knew his brother was a good player, and Chad has turned out to be great."

The process Facebook uses to determine which stories are trending on its social network gained national attention earlier this week after the tech blog Gizmodo reported Facebook "news curators" had been told to suppress stories from conservative news outlets from its more than 1.65 billion monthly users.
Zuckerberg went on to say that in coming weeks, he would "be inviting leading conservatives and people from across the political spectrum to talk with me about this and share their points of view. I want to have a direct conversation about what Facebook stands for and how we can be sure our platform stays as open as possible."

I think it's fairly safe to say that I have lost what little is left of my mind, and the rest of me is frozen.
Tired of hearing about the weather yet? I know I am.
So today was yet another snow day, and since this is Mardi Gras that means that the kids did not get to have their party today at school. It also means that I have a 16″ King Cake sitting on the kitchen table that I must find some way of disposing of, ideally by tomorrow. I'll make coffee if you want to come over and have a piece. If you get the baby it's all up to you next year. I'm done.
I hate to be unproductive, so when faced with a string of days where I'm essentially homebound, I start doing the Happy Homemaker routine. I am not good at this, just so you know. One of the things I do when I am seeking something productive to do is go through my pantry. My pantry is always something of a treasure hunt, and I always seem to find odd things tucked in the corners. Obviously I've bought these things with a purpose in mind, though some of the time I can't recall what that purpose was. Irish steel cut oats, for example. I remember reading that they were tastier and better for you than regular oats, and miles more nutritious than the instant oats (which I tend to favor), and I also recall a day spent in search of them. When you end up at a specialty grocer, it's a sign you've gone too far. I bought a tin of them (authentic! they come in a tin!) and made a batch and you know what? I do not particularly like Irish steel cut oats. And I have most of a tin left over. What the hell am I going to do with it?
Another thing plumbed from the depths of my pantry is a jar of organic almond butter. We're not big peanut butter fans here, so I bought the almond butter (at an insane price) with the idea that maybe Spawn would eat it and I could get some protein into the kid. Think again. So I found a recipe online for almond butter bread and that is what I have spent a portion of my afternoon working on. Lesson there is: I do not make good bread.
I always feel a little bit guilty that I am not the kind of mom that can whip up great and interesting things to do on a snow day. I know I could be spending some "quality time" with the kid, but Spawn is pretty content manufacturing entertainment that doesn't include me. There is probably a little too much TV/Nintendo/computer time in that equation, but we have already worked every puzzle we own, played quite a few board/card games, made homemade playdough, worked on art projects, and played with the cats. I've even made the kid do a few household chores, just for some variety. One thing we haven't done, despite repeated requests, is go sledding. Because the temperature out there includes a wind chill in the teens, my answer to that is OHELLNO.
My brain has started to liquefy and run out my ears.
