Earlier this week I gave you a recipe for Mandarin Orange Salad. The dressing was a simple vinaigrette and paired well with the ingredients of that salad. But vinaigrettes are a whole issue unto themselves. Let's see if I can help you make some sense of it.
A basic vinaigrette is a temporary emulsion of oil and vinegar seasoned with salt and pepper. That said, you are already aware of the vast differences between one vinaigrette and another. The basic ratio of oil to vinegar is 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar. This ratio can vary, however, especially when using strong flavored oils. In some recipes all or part of the vinegar is replaced with citrus juice, in which case it may take more than one part vinegar (juice) to properly balance the flavor. The best way to test for flavor is to taste it, and preferably on the greens.
Oils and vinegars have unique flavors and can be mixed and matched to achieve the correct balance for a particular salad. Olive oil goes well with red wine vinegar, nut oils got well with balsamic or sherry vinegars. Neutral oils such as canola, corn or safflower can be paired with flavored vinegar.
There is a confusingly large variety of vinegars to choose from. Red wine vinegar is probably the most widely used as it is inexpensive and blends well with a wide variety of foods. Coming in behind that would be cider vinegar, balsamic, and the other wine vinegars such as white and rice. Fruit and herb flavored vinegars like raspberry, garlic or tarragon are popular and will make great vinaigrette.
You can infuse flavors into your own vinegar. Add fruit, garlic or fresh herbs to a wine vinegar, red or white, and let it do its own magic for several days. Strain the liquid and you are ready to make dressing.
Herbs, spices, shallots, garlic, mustard (many kinds) and sugar or honey are a few of the vast array of flavoring ingredients used to enhance your dressing. If dried herbs are used the dressing should rest for at least 1 hour to allow the flavor to come to life.
Here are a couple of recipes to get you started. Feel free to be creative when making your own dressing.
Raspberry Vinaigrette
Red wine vinegar 1oz (2 Tbl) Rice wine vinegar 1ozLemon juice 1 tspDried thyme ˝ tspSalt 1/2 tspBlack pepper ˝ tspGarlic 1 clove, crushedHoney 2 tsp (or Agave nectar)
Raspberry preserves 1 oz (seedless)Extra virgin Olive Oil 1 ˝ ozVegetable oil 1 ˝ oz
Whisk together all ingredients except the oils. When well blended slowly add the oils while whisking vigorously, emulsifying the dressing. Serve immediately.
Another method to blend all of these ingredients would be to place them ALL in a mason jar, shake it up real good and serve immediately. This way you can leave it in the sealed jar to store in the refrigerator.
Lemon Vinaigrette
Dijon mustard 1/2 tspRed wine vinegar 1 TblFresh lemon juice 2 TblCayenne pepper pinchSalt and black pepper to tasteExtra virgin olive oil Ľ cup
Mix as in the recipe above. Remember some lemons have more flavor than others, so feel free to taste and add more lemon juice if necessary.
Blue Cheese Vinaigrette
Blue cheese crumbles 2 ozGarlic 1 clove, crushedWhite wine vinegar 2 TblOlive oil 1/3 cupSalt and pepper to tasteOptional, 1 clove garlic, crushed
Mix as above.
I hope you enjoy these dressings and that these articles motivate you to whip up some wonderful salads for yourself and your family.

Comments: Upper feels really flimsy, almost papery. Do not like the tongue or the way this shoe feels on the top of my foot. Maybe I need to size down a half size. I took it on a couple of long runs and did not like the overall feel. It was kind of soft and mushy, not very responsive. I also had pretty bad plantar, shin, and knee pain after running in these. I'm a mild overpronator and these felt like they provided little to no stability. I also felt like the plastic bridge seemed to pound the bottom of my feet causing some really nasty soreness around the midfoot/forefoot area where I tend to strike. I will keep these around for short runs or when the weather is nasty. I recommend saucony taking a look at modifying the plastic shank support system, maybe shrinking the plastic and firming up some of the midfoot foam to give more stability and cut down on the pounding on your feet. I found the Mizuno Wave Sayonara to be a better alternative to this type of shoe even for a mild overpronator like myself.
From: Jay, San Francisco, CA, USA
Comments: I primarily run in Kinvara 3's but use the Mirage 3 for longer runs. This shoe is much more plush, and I credit the mild arch support for helping reduce my achilles pain after long runs. My only complaint is the comically-thick tongue which I'm sure will be corrected for the Mirage 4.
From: Sam, Arlington, VA
Comments: Really disappointed in changes to mirage 3. Switched to mirage 1 in 2011 from newtons and loved the shoe right out of the box. I credit it and the newton for curing me of plantar fasciatis that plagued me for over a year in both feet. The shoes were a perfect blend of low drop, cushion and support. Purchased the 3 earlier this year to replace last mirage 1 and immediately noticed achiness and soreness in my lower leg area (high ankle region front and back both legs). I thought shoes just needed a bit more break in period so I put in about 150 miles to give them a fair shakeoutt. Due to leg issues I decided to purchase Saucony Guide and immediately noticed improvement. I don't like the guide mainly due to higher heel height (8mm) but it was clear they are a better shoe for me. I am a mid foot striker, have been before it became the in-thing to do and really liked the 4mm height offered by mirage and peregrine trail shoes. As a test, I alternated between guide and mirage for two additional weeks and confirmed issues were due to mirage 3. My conclusion is that saucony removed some of the stability aspects of shoe that I needed. According to Saucony they increased flexibility, reduced the mid-foot bridge and I think the biggest change is they softend the midsole. This latter change is the biggest problem for me as it makes the shoe too compliant and I feel like I'm running in sand with each step, which is what I think was causing lower leg issues. Too bad. I plan to test the Saucony Cortana and see if it works better for me. I agree with the previous reviewer.
From: Alex, Niwot, Colorado, USA
Comments: I had two pair of the Mirage 1, three pair of the Mirage 2, and I returned my only pair of Mirage 3. The upper material of the 3 is more flexible than the 2, but it seems to be much more snug which I did not like. The midsole was supposed to be slightly softer, however, I felt the opposite is the case. The three is more firm. I am stocking up on the Mirage 2 that I can find in my size. I do look forward to adding the Cortana 3 to my rotation.
From: Todd, Sellersburg, IN
Comments: Out of the box test run - 19 miles. No complaints.
From: RannieDV, Concord, CA
Comments: Unfortunately the midsole of this shoe creates soreness in my plantar that used to never happen with previous versions of the shoe. I loved the Mirage 1, never tried the 2. And now the 3 is not looking good for me. Would love to hear if anyone else has had similar experiences.

Another Dark Day for Bills
by Howard Simon
posted Dec 9 2012 12:00AM
Its games like this that make me wonder. Will the Bills ever have another winning season? Will they ever make the playoffs again? Will they ever get a quarterback who wins a game like this rather than lose it? Will they ever have a competent Head Coach again?
On Sunday, by the way, the answer was "no" to all of those questions. On yet another day where you walk away thinking "how do the Bills manage to lose that game?" they clinched a 12
non winning record over the last 13 seasons.
They are still mathematically alive in the AFC wild card race thanks to the out of town scoreboard. Both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals lost on Sunday. Of course that also means the Bills would have been 1 game out of a playoff spot had they held on and beaten the Rams. Man, those football gods have a severely twisted sense of humor.
As was the case in the Tennessee game, Ryan Fitzpatrick played well up until crunch time and the offense needed to win the game. Fiztpatrick outplayed Sam Bradford for most of the game but at with the game on the line, Bradford guided the Rams to a 14 play, 84 yard go ahead TD drive.
Down 15-12, Fitzpatrick and the offense got the ball at their own 23 yard line with 42 seconds left and 2 time outs. The first play was a 19 yard pass to Scott Chandler, giving Bills fans a reason to hope but it went down hill from there. First there was the not even close deep pass for T.J. Graham, then a sack and then the game ending interception.
Staying with the "haven't we seen this before" theme, it was another horrible day at the office for Chan Gailey.
C.J. Spiller, who leads the NFL in yards per carry and is 7
in total yards from scrimmage, had a mere 8 touches(7 rushes and 1 catch) out of 58 offensive plays. It was the lowest number of touches for Spiller, who was averaging 7.3 yards per touch coming into the game, since the week 5 matchup in San Francisco.
Spiller's last carry came with 9:05 left in the 4
quarter. Actually that was his last touch for the game. The Bills ran 9 offensive plays the rest of the game and none went to Spiller.
Yet again the best job of shutting down Spiller is turned in by Gailey and not an opposing defense. Spiller was the spark on the Bills lone TD drive of the day, ripping off 13 yard runs on the 1
and 3
plays of their initial possession in the 3
quarter. He never touched the ball again on that drive although the Bills did go on for the touchdown which put them in front 12-7.
During his post game press conference, Gailey said Spiller got winded after those 2 runs so they put Fred Jackson in the game. When asked why Spiller got just 8 touches, Gailey, whose record with the Bills is now 15-30, said they were trying to run the ball and "when it was Fred's turn, it was Fred's turn to be in there".
I absolutely love Fred Jackson but I never want to hear about it being Fred's turn, ever again. Especially on a day when Jackson managed a total of 14 yards on 9 carries and had a critical lost fumble in the red zone.
Gailey also had many scratching their heads with an early 4
quarter decision. Leading 12-7 and facing a 4
and 7 at the Rams 34 yard line, Gailey sent out the field goal team for what would have been a 52 yard attempt. Gailey then called time and sent the punt team out after the break.
Gailey, who has publicly stated he is not a fan of field goal attempts from 50 and beyond, said he was told it was a 50 yarder but when he saw it was 52 or 53, he opted for the punt. As to the time out, Gailey said he was "scared they were going to snap it" so he called time. That was a critical time out wasted that they could have used on that last drive.
The head coach said he was "scared" on a play where his team could have put points on the scoreboard. This has to be a new low for a franchise that has experienced way too many in this century.
If the Bills attempt the field goal and hit it, they are up 15-7 and no worse than tied when the Rams come back. If Lindell misses, the Rams get the ball at their own 42 which is not the end of the world since the defense had been playing well up to that point. And even with the miss, the Bills still would have had a 5 point lead. Either way he blew an important time out.
Questionable play calling also reared its considerably ugly head just before half time. Fitzpatrick had hit 4 straight passes to move the Bills from the Rams 49 yard line to their 23 with about 30 seconds left. Gailey then called for a Fred Jackson run up the middle which lost a yard and forced the Bills to call their 2
time out.
After a 2 yard pass to Jackson, the Bills called their final time out with 11 seconds to go and had Lindell kick a field goal. Ironic, isn't it? As we yell and scream for Gailey to run the ball more, we wonder why he'd run at that point after his QB hit 4 passes in a row. In addition, the Bills didn't take a single crack at the end zone in that red zone possession but we've seen that before this season(a lot).
When all was said and done Fitzpatrick threw 33 passes and Spiller/Jackson combined for 16 runs. Jackson also had his 4
fumble of the season which equals a career high.
Another game, another loss, another season soon to be officially down the drain and yet another day where you want to pull your hair out(unless you are like me and have none left to pull out). When will this ever end?

I have to wonder about Ishin's battle capabilities. He somewhat mentions that he isn't at his 100% after regaining his power at the time of the Arrancer Grand Fisher's attack. Then later on in Karakura Town, he quite easily handles Aizen (who is pretty much 2x a Captain's power), even forcing him to his knees without sweeting much. For him to be forced to only defend against that Hollow, would suggest that it's battle capabilities far surpasses that of a standard Captain-level Shinigami. Assuming that Ishin hasn't become much stronger after his fight with that Black Hollow until the point where he discarded his power.
Anyway, this page:
seems to be referring to something important, if we assume that by living creatures, Azien means living humans, then it might be referring to what Misaki did or wished for (then again, only Urahara's H-cube had originally a mind of it's own IIRC). Though it might simply refer to the potential that everyone holds, that can reach even that of the Soul King or something like that (still, why would Ishin be pissed by it so personally ?).
I'm still wondering about Urahara. He created many things, he even was able to create the H-cube. He lost it, but he couldn't control it anyway, in the past that is, since he suggested that he would be able to do it now (http://www.mangapanda.com/94-51305-9...apter-402.html). Seeing as he is able to control it now and was able to create it in the past, why didn't he make another one ? Did he really seal it because of the fear of it's power, or was he preparing himself in order to take total control over it ? Well he seems to be OK with Soul King ruling all, but he still seems quite fishy.
EDIT: Hm, I wonder if this means that the anime spilled the secrets right at the first episode :

Whether your first experience is in a cottage by the sea, a resort filled with amenities, or a warm and inviting bed and breakfast inn, you will always treasure the simple pleasure of being so close to sand dunes and salty air. Spend enough time on this mesmerizing peninsula, and it becomes a part of you, willing you to come back over the bridge time and again. Cape Cod, you might argue, is a state of mind.
The cover story in this month's edition of Cape Cod Life magazine features Days Cottages, the iconic seaside cottages nestled cheek by jowl on historic route 6A in Truro, MA. Built in the 1930s, these 23 identical cottages have been featured on national TV commercials and numerous magazine covers, and have weathered even the most horrific of New England storms, including the Blizzard of '78. With Cape Cod Bay as their front yard, Days Cottages are a mere 18 feet apart and simply furnished: no televisions, no resort-type amenities. But with a fiercely loyal clientele their simple allure spans generations.
Each tiny two-bedroom cottage is named for a flower as ordained by the original owner's wife, Amelia Days. For many returning guests, the simplicity of a no frills vacation by the sea is the idyllic choice for a family. Days are spent on the beach and nights are filled with the sounds of multiple generations playing games and sharing laughter.
I spent several summers on Cape Cod with my own family growing up. Though not at Days Cottages, our summer destination was Brewster and a cottage colony called Hopkins Cottages. Now long gone and replaced by condominiums, the memory of returning year after year to the same seaside shack and the thrill of meeting up with friends from the previous summer still warms my heart.
We have guests that come to our Inn every year, sometimes two and three times, sampling each season's special delights. We welcome them like family and enjoy catching up with them like old friends. Though we may not have the longevity of Days Cottages, we are grateful for our growing list of loyal fans and hope to welcome new friends this year.

Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, right off a rehab stint, pogoed and belted out tunes with fervor.
AUSTIN — Billie Joe Armstrong and Green Day have some recent experience with Broadway but they were upstaged Friday night at South By Southwest.
About two-thirds of the way through the two-hour concert at Austin City Limits Live's Moody Theater, the band played its breakthrough hit Longview from mega-platinum album Dookie. Understudy Ty Ehlinger, 15, of Richmond, Texas, who attended a Green Day concert three years ago, had prepared for his cue.
Before the third verse, Armstrong queried the crowd for a singer to finish the song. After a brief search, he gestured to Ehlinger, near the front of the stage wearing a red Green Day T-shirt. He proceeded to sing the verse, all the while stalking the stage.
As the band took over the chorus, he hopped up on the drum riser and jumped as the song ended. He stayed on stage and the crowd audibly cheered for him. Then the chant arose to "Jump, jump!" So Ehlinger got a running start and leapt into the dense din at the front of the stage.
Afterwards, he posed for pictures with fans. ""I was ready," he said between photo ops. "I said, 'Hell, I'm getting up there.' "
The band appears primed to restart its tour, which had been canceled after Armstrong went into rehab last September. His only nod to that during Green Day's first SXSW appearance came after a stage technician replaced Armstrong's microphone in its stand at front-center stage. "I wasn't even on drugs," Armstrong quipped.
Right after that, during Letterbomb, Armstrong declared "I love you, Austin. ... This is a celebration."
Armstrong sounded sharp and was a bundle of frenetic energy traversing the stage and then pogoing during Stop When the Red Lights Flash from ¡Dos!, part of the band's recent trilogy. The band attended Friday SXSW screenings of ¡Cuatro!, about the making of the three albums, and Broadway Idiot, about the adaptation of 2004's American Idiot to the stage.
His bandmates were dialed in, too. Guitarist Mike Dirnt performed an acrobatic leap during Welcome to Paradise and drummer Tre Cool provided sharp, solid backing and donned drag — as did the rest of the band — including a pink bra during King for a Day.
That was just one incident that suggested Armstrong, who's already reportedly working on a rocking remake of Much Ado About Nothing, could be testing out new Broadway musical themes. Earlier, a medley of classic rock faves included Sweet Child O' Mine and Highway to Hell. Another medley mashed up Stand By Me, Hey Jude and Shout. Animal House the musical, anyone?
Fan Nancy Allen, 52, who flew from Minneapolis after winning tickets through the band's official fan club Idiot Nation, got enough old tunes such as Basketcase and newer ones such as 99 Revolutions.
The band had "great energy," she said afterward. "I think he was happy. I've seen him play when he seemed not as happy. I saw him on Broadway, as well. He was happy tonight. He was really, really relaxed.
"We were all incredibly concerned with nothing but love for Billie to be healthy and well," she said. "We're just glad he's back."

A whole, new world
by Graaskamp Center Staff
Monday, January 31, 2011
In January, second-year Wisconsin Real Estate MBA students traveled to Hong Kong and Seoul. The tour included meetings with UW alumni and local officials and site visits to significant properties in each market. Students brought back networking contacts, souvenirs, and, most importantly, a new perspective on real estate markets beyond the U.S.
That international perspective is an important
of our real estate MBA program. The trip is part of the second-year
. First-year students will attend
in Cannes, France in March. It's the Wisconsin viewpoint that the world needs passionate, talented and socially responsible people to develop, finance and improve the urban environment. The
Wisconsin Real Estate Program
challenges the next generation of leaders to reach their potential.
Students have additional opportunities to travel within the U.S. and abroad through the Wisconsin School of Business and with the UW Real Estate Club.
Check out this video, made by one of our students, of the highlights of the trip:

Nikolic won $60,000 with online account
Australia: Jockey Danny Nikolic, who was last year handed a two-year ban for threatening a steward, reportedly had an online account run by a third party to win $60,000 on a race in 2011, it has emerged.
The account was registered to a third party in Queensland, designed to hide Nikolic's betting activities. The revelation follows the findings of a report into race-fixing which was overseen by Victorian racing integrity commissioner Sal Perna.
Danny Nikolic: serving long banPICTURE: AAP Racing
Perna recommended that the rules of racing be changed to make betting by jockeys a serious offence, which carries more severe penalties.
Fellow jockey Damien Oliver is currently suspended for ten months after admitting that he bet on a rival horse in 2010.
Perna's investigation concluded that race-fixing is not a problem, but the culture of jockeys betting needs to be tackled.
"There is an acceptance that most, if not all, jockeys bet and such behaviour is condoned," Perna said. "It is conduct that undermines public confidence. The ability to place lay bets has compounded the perception."
Perna's recommendations will be supported by the Australian government.

The Passionately Pink for the Cure is breast cancer awareness and fundraising program designed to raise money for cancer research, education and awareness and help discover a cure. The goal of the program is to bring an end to breast cancer altogether.
Preventing and detecting breast cancer early will help save more lives. Understand the lifestyle factors that may affect your risk of breast cancer and what you can do to stay healthy. Breast exams, mammograms and other screenings increase the chances of detecting breast cancer early, when they are most likely to be curable.
It's time to get moving and help find cures for "Breast Cancer". Do it for yourself, for the people you love, for the millions who need your support. Join the Passionately Pink ZUMBATHON® Charity Event Monday, October 21, 2013 from 6-8:00 p.m. at the Mesquite Recreation Center. The Recreation Center and Senior Center will have pre-event tickets on sale for a small fee. Every participant will be getting a door prize. Monetary donation is also gratefully appreciated.
"Giving back is a cornerstone of our unique culture here in Mesquite," said Paula Wikan, Passionately Pink Event Coordinator. "Partnering with the Komen organization and their Passionately Pink campaign is just one of the many ways our Fitness Professionals show their passion and compassion in our community", said Griseyda Belalcazar, Senior Services Supervisor.
Come join us! Have a great night of fun and meeting new people. "Meet and Greet the Zumba® Fitness Instructors and enjoy the music", added Belalcazar. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water. Whether you love to dance, or have no dance experience, leave those workout videos at home,"ditch the workout and join the party!"

Based on the new 2005 RL luxury performance sedan, the RL A-SPEC Concept is extensively modified to explore the next level of A-SPEC performance accessories for Acura's top-of-the-line sedan. It is approximately one inch wider than the production model with wide fender flares, restyled rocker panels and side sills accenting a solid, muscular look. The 30 mm wider track combines with custom 20-in. alloy wheels, and high performance Michelin Pilot Sport 245/40 R20 tires. The bold, sloping hood ends in a redesigned front fascia that features a new bumper, an enhanced signature Acura grille and larger lower air intakes. In the rear, the trunk lid has been restyled with an integrated spoiler. A new rear bumper featuring pairs of dual, high-flow exhaust finishers has also been applied.
An A-SPEC high performance suspension package with track-tuned shocks and springs lowers the car by one inch and enhances the RL's handling precision. Brembo brake components on all four wheels feature 8-piston calipers and 15-in. drilled rotors to give the RL A-SPEC Concept enhanced stopping power.
Inside, the RL A-SPEC Concept features custom hand-stitched premium leather on the seats, instrument panel, and door panels combined with a two-tone Alcantara headliner, and blonde Birchwood accents for a decidedly Latin flare. A wood sport steering wheel and shift knob evoke a high performance, yet luxurious feel.

On Aug. 2-3, the Super League Emery Heat Team, went to Cedar City to a tournament.
They played two games Friday and won both of them. They played two games Saturday and won both of them.
There were 15 teams in the tournament, they separated these into two pools, eight teams in pool number one and seven teams in pool number two.
The Emery Heat was in pool number one. They took the top team from pool one and the top team from pool two, and they played the championship game.
If there is more than one team that wins all four games they then take the team that gives up the least runs.
The Heat and one other team won all four games, but the Heat team gave up two more runs than the other one.
So the Heat team didn't make it into the tournament by two runs.
That team ended up winning the tournament. It was Las Vegas Baseball Academy Lightning.
The Heat was very disappointed that their team didn't have a chance to have a play-off game with the champions.
Tyson Roper also plays on this team, but wasn't at this tournament.
Team supporters say, "We are very proud of our Emery heat team, and appreciate our coach David Hreinsen and his helpers."

Adam Carriker De - Nebraska? What do you think?
Posted 17 January 2007 - 02:09 PM
College: Nebraska Number: 90
Height: 6-6 Weight: 286
Adam Carriker DE 6'6 295 Nebraska
By: Robert Davis
Carriker starter to come into his own during his sophomore season with the Huskers, after posting 36 tackles, seven for loss, and three sacks despite battling an ankle injury. He blew up as a junior, becoming one of the most feared ends in the country, finishing with 43 tackles, 17 for loss, and 9.5 sacks. Carriker didnt disappoint as a senior, as he again was an all around force. He had 34 tackles, 13.5 for loss, and six sacks on the year, to go along with an interception.
Adam Carriker is an interesting blend of talent. He has excellent size and strength, but has the athleticism to go along with it. He is already bigger than a lot of NFL defensive ends, and has the strength to push tackles out of his way. He has the ability to bull rush lineman, and can also hold his ground at the point of attack. Carriker has been a productive pass rusher in college, and knows how to get to the quarterback. He also has good straightline speed for a player his size.
While he is a good athlete for a player his size, he is not the freak many people make him out to be. He probably lacks the explosive quality you look for in top tier defensive ends. He has bulked up to 295lbs this year, but he doesnt look to have the same agility he had prior.
Adam Carriker is a player that shows nice all around skills, and should be a complete defensive end at the next level. He may be best suited as a 3-4 end because of his size and power, and lack of explosive pass rush ability off the edge. Carriker reportedly is a great workout player, and may be a player who impresses a lot of people in the post season. If he lands in the Top 50, he has probably gone too high, but he should be a Day One pick.
Has outstanding size and a big frame...Has tremendous strength and is extremely powerful...Holds his ground and is exceptional against the run...Has a motor that never stops...Solid tackler...Instinctive and pursues well...Is technically sound and uses his hands well...Is versatile and could play a number of different roles and positions...Very productive...Tough guy and a hard worker with great intangibles.
Is not overly athletic and lacks great timed speed...A DE / DT 'tweener...He might be too tall and has trouble protecting his lower body...Is not a great natural pass rusher...Is not explosive and doesn't have a burst to close...Has battled through a series of minor injuries during his career...May not be a good fit for every team.
Might be able to move inside to tackle but his best fit at the pro level will probably come as a defensive end in a 3-4 scheme...He isn't the type of flashy pass rusher we are accustomed to seeing from the position but that isn't everything...With so many teams now moving to the 34 defense there will probably be a high demand for this guy so don't be surprised if the "Blackshirt" goes higher than most expect.

the chargers, patriots, and cowboys are totally set with their front 3. however, the browns and steelers might want to replace one of their DEs this year. the browns will not spend a #3 overall on carriker, they might trade down and grab branch but we will have to worry about them going defense with their second rounder if they grab peterson or a QB with their 1st rounder. pittsburg could reach on carriker at #15 though it will still be a solid pick, but in that case it will be easy for us to figure something out since that decision will have been made for us. we should definitely grab carriker in the 1st round if he is available bc he is the best 3-4 DE available besides branch who should go top 10. then we can go OLB/RB in the second round. a sick draft would be carriker/woodley/OL, carriker/bush/spencer, or carriker/moses/OL
Posted 17 January 2007 - 02:49 PM
500th post, baby!
Posted 17 January 2007 - 02:51 PM
I doubt we get both of them but if we do that would be like getting Ferguson and Mangold this year except it would solidify the DLine for years to come. However saying that I think our first two picks won't be focused solely on the DLine and RB, G and OLB will certainly be looked at.
Posted 17 January 2007 - 02:53 PM
Posted 17 January 2007 - 03:02 PM
Why? They have Baker, who has come through time and time again when called upon, and Ryan, who proved that he is a solid blocker who can also catch the ball. I'm not saying they couldn't use a guy like Greg Olsen, who I went to high school with and will be an absolute beast, but I don't know about the second round. The team has too many needs to take a TE in the second round imo.
Posted 17 January 2007 - 03:10 PM
Posted 17 January 2007 - 03:13 PM
Plus we drafted a TE in the later rounds last year in Pociask and still have Ryan on the roster. If Baker was used more it would make the offense more successful as it would spread the defense out more as they would have another player to account for. Against NE he did great.

You are signed into Insider and have access to the exclusive draft content below.
Strengths: Possesses outstanding size and good quickness for his size. Is tall, well-built and powerful. Shows adequate initial quickness and good agility for such a bigger DE prospect. He plays with adequate leverage and shows the base to take on blocks versus the run. He takes solid angles in pursuit and has become a reliable wrap-up tackler in space. Also is a powerful hitter. Shows good instincts as a pass rusher. Displays a wide array of power moves and is relentless in pursuit. Not a speed-rusher type off the edge, but he is productive because of his quickness, power, versatility and motor.
Weaknesses: Lacks ideal top-end speed. Does not show the speed or closing burst to consistently turn the corner as an edge rusher in the NFL. Is a power-end type that will only fit well in certain schemes. He must continue to improve his hand-usage in order to consistently disengage quicker.
Overall: Carriker was redshirter in 2002. He played in nine games in 2003, missed three games with an ankle injury, and finished the year with three total tackles, one tackle for loss, and one sack. In 2004, he appeared in 10 games (eight starts), missed more time with an ankle injury, and recorded 36 total tackles, seven tackles for loss, and three sacks for the season. Carriker then started all 12 games in 2005 at "base" defensive end, made 43 total tackles, 17 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, and forced one fumble earning First Team All-Big 12 recognition from the Associated Press.
With an impressive combination of size and agility, Carriker has always been supremely talented but finally showed signs of reaching his full potential as a junior. If he can take his game to the next level as a senior, Carriker could come off the 2007 draft board as early as the second round.
Posted 17 January 2007 - 05:19 PM
why not though? Right now its are biggest need. But we will have a much clearer picture on what we need in April, once the FAs are signed. We wont have as many needs then as we do now.
Posted 17 January 2007 - 06:51 PM
Posted 17 January 2007 - 08:17 PM
Baker doesnt have nearly the same athletic ability that these guys have and he is constantly injured. I like Baker but i think he would be better as the no.2 TE. As for Ryan he is strictly a blocker and the guy we drafted last year i dont even know if he's on the team anymore. TE's are very valuable to QB's in that short to intermediate area and thats were chad lives and dies plus we dont have anyone to make tough grabs over the middle. If one of these guys is there in the 2nd rd we would be wise to grab one. Not taking Miller would be like Calvin Johnson falling to us and us saying no thanks we already have Laverneus Coles........that would be insane. These guys are on a totally different level than baker is and im sure penny would go to him if he was good enough but my guess is that he isnt.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 5, 2009
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that SystemVue version 2009.08 is now available for download. It features a number of new capabilities including an automated link that unlocks RF-DSP co-design and a fully custom, high-performance baseband signal processing design flow. Coupled with new IP reference libraries for DVB-S2, mmWave WPAN (IEEE 802.15.3c) and 3GPP LTE, the SystemVue 2009.08 release accelerates design of high-performance physical layer (PHY) signal processing in both aerospace/defense and commercial wireless applications.
Automating RF Modeling for DSP Developers
A key feature of SystemVue 2009.08 is a new simulation interface -- the RFlink -- which more effectively models RF transceivers and air interface for baseband designers. Available in SystemVue's optional W1719 RF System Design Kit, the RFlink bridges the gap between baseband signal processing and proven RF tools. Traditional DSP approaches either add "RF" block sets to limited dataflow simulators or use a brute-force analog co-simulation method that is orders of magnitude slower than DSP tools. In contrast, Agilent's automated RFlink conveniently embeds RF architectures into a baseband DSP environment, for a unified top-down team approach to system design. Using it, baseband designers can now re-use an RF system architect's own IP to see the impact of additional RF effects (e.g., internal impedance mismatch, nonlinearities and reverse propagation) within their native DSP environment, verify the robustness of their algorithms, and reduce overall design margins.
"SystemVue's new RFlink feature improves the accuracy and convenience of modeling the RF portion of signal processing chains, without burdening DSP architects with clunky analog tools or requiring specialized RF expertise," said Frank Ditore, product manager of Agilent's SystemVue. "By allowing the RF, system and baseband design teams to share a common environment for concurrent design, the link enables superior top-down RF-baseband partitioning and reduces overall design margins."
Enabling High-Performance Custom Model-Based Design
Another critical feature of SystemVue 2009.08 is its ability to enable a complete, end-to-end (system level to hardware) model-based design flow. This flow is made possible by allowing user-defined modeling of high-performance PHYs at multiple levels of abstraction, including C++ and math language algorithms, bit-true fixed-point models and cycle-accurate VHDL generation.
Together with easy scripting and instrument links for verification, SystemVue 2009.08 is now capable of importing and encapsulating a company's high-performance signal-processing IP flow, and verifying models at each level of abstraction -- either at the communications system level or a lower hardware level. This integration makes SystemVue a cost-effective, open, vendor-neutral platform for demanding custom applications, such as radar, software-defined radio and homeland security.
New Reference IP for Emerging Wireless PHYs
Other new features found in Agilent's SystemVue 2009.08 release are algorithmic references for emerging physical layer standards. These references allow system architects and baseband designers to verify signal processing algorithms and hardware implementation long before test equipment or commercial PHYs are available and include:
About SystemVue 2009
SystemVue 2009 is Agilent's new electronic design automation (EDA) platform for electronic system-level (ESL) design. The new platform cuts physical layer (PHY) design time in half for high-performance communications algorithms and system architectures, for both wireless and aerospace/defense applications.
U.S. Pricing and Availability

Two airplanes clipped wings this afternoon (Jan. 24) at Washington Dulles International Airport.
MORE: WUSA TV of Washington
United spokeswoman Jennifer Dohm confirmed the incident to Today in the Sky. In an e-mailed statement, she says:
Upon arriving at the gate at Washington Dulles today, the wingtip from United flight 951 from Brussels made contact with the wingtip of a second United aircraft parked at an adjacent gate. The passengers and crew deplaned the Brussels flight. There were no passengers onboard the parked aircraft. Our maintenance team is evaluating both aircraft to determine any damage.
United tells Kris Van Cleave of WJLA ABC 7 that both planes involved were Boeing 777s. WJLA adds no one was injured.
Rob Yingling, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, adds the FAA has been alerted to the incident.

"These will be important matches for us," head coach Debby Baker said. "We're starting to come together, but just need to put all the pieces in place. This weekend will give us the chance to do that and get a good start in the Big Sky."
Southern Utah will enter the weekend 1-8 overall on the year and riding a three-match losing streak. Kylie Schofield leads the Thunderbird offense with 109 kills, but the middles have proven to be the most efficient with three (Stradling, Angilau, Heine) leading the team in hitting percentage. Freshman Joanna Christenson continues to improve at setter with a team-best 317 assists. As a team, SUU is averaging 10.42 kills per set for a total of 375 on the year.
Defensively, SUU is led by a pair of underclassmen in digs with sophomore Jenna Bradfield tops on the team with 112 (3.11 per set) followed by freshman Sariah Pelaez with 108 and an average of 3.08 per set. Southern Utah's block has totaled 76.0 blocks this year with freshman Ann Clappier leading the team with 27.
The matches this week are scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. on both nights with live stats and live video links available online at www.suutbirds.com.

Ok so this has been bugging me a while and I keep seeing people talk about the vasto lords and why we still haven't had a character pointed at and called one directly. Normally I just sit back and read but this has been swirling around in my head a while and I honestly think we've blown right past them and they are no longer important.
If you check hierarchy, the hollow go like this:
- Hollow
- Gillian
- Adjuchas
- Vasto Lorde
There's a quote somewhere that says that a handful of Vasto Lorde could easily destroy Soul Society. Since no one in Soul Society had ever really seen one I think it was just an exaggeration or a bluff of some sort. The Vasto Lord were supposed to be smaller, human like hollows that were of captain class or higher.
There's more info on the wiki:
I know the manga and the anime don't always line up exactly but if you watch Bleach anime episode 284 you will see that Halibel is referred to as a Vasto Lorde twice in the episode(Sorry I don't remember the times). Compared to the Adjuchas that are shown throughout the episode, you'll notice that only her and Barraggan have a "human like" appearance. I really think that these two characters were Vasto Lorde back before Aizen got a hold of them.
When Aizen showed up in Hueco Mundo he started making the Arrancar. The Arrancar are hollows that have had their masks removed or partially removed, a result of the process Aizen used to make the hollow stronger. The stronger the hollow are before the Arrancar process, the greater the result and the more human like they appear. After the process, Baraggan is the #2 Espada, and Halibel is the #3 Espada.
At the end of the anime episode 284 Aizen says that the combined strength of all the Espada-Arrancar is less than that of his own, and he calls the Visored a failed attempt at making Arrancar.
If you put it all together I think it's safe to assume that the Arrancar form created by Aizen is more powerful than that of the Vasto Lord. Also I think that because Aizen was the one doing all the research on hollowfication, he probably was the one spreading the rumors or bluffs on how powerful the Vasto Lord actually were.
Edit: watch the episode here if you want.

|In response to Re: Bathroom tile installation
: Wondering if anyone could tell us what are the steps for installing ceramic tiles in the shower? What we're looking for is what the whole procedure (from start to finish) is. We had an addition put on last summer (8/97) and since the bathroom was completed, we've had to have the caulking replaced three times and the last time the contractor tried silicon caulk, which did last for three months but has begun to peel off again. Additionally, we have found certain areas of the grout that are cracked and am constantly having to keep cleaning all the rapidly forming mildew on the grout?
: We don't have any of these problems in our other bathroom (which is 30 years old). Additionally, the new bathroom has better ventilation.
: If anyone could help we would appreciate it. Knowing the steps involved might help us determine if perhaps a step or two was left out when our tiles were installed.

Delta Colorado resident, William Walter Turner, passed away on Monday, Oct. 4, 2010 at his home in Delta. He was 83 years of age.
A funeral service honoring William's life will be held at 10 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 9, 2010 at the Taylor Funeral Service Chapel, 682 1725 Road, Delta, CO. A visitation for family and friends will be held one hour prior to service. Burial will be held at the Delta City Cemetery.
William Walter Turner was born to John Robert Turner and Eva Collins on Feb. 8, 1927 in Davie, West Virginia. He spent his childhood and attended schools in West Virginia and Virginia's Coal Campus.
On Aug. 23, 1947, William married Jennie Mary Ostranski in Vancover, British Columbia. To this union, two children were born. William and Mary had the honor of sharing 63 years of love and marriage together this year. Mary survives.

It's no secret that Las Vegas is one of the music capitals of the world. The high-end entertainment on the Strip offers a variety of musical performances, from world-class pop stars to tribute acts to opera singers.
Alternative acts such as The Killers and Panic! At The Disco actually learned their craft in Las Vegas, as did 1980s hard rock chart toppers Slaughter. Las Vegas isn't just where great musicians come to perform; great music is born and raised here, too.
With such a wide array of musical talent, it can be difficult to find veteran performers who are willing to tutor younger students the tricks of the trade, but TakeLessons can help with that.
