I don't see the point in introducing new monsters...
I'm waiting for the moment we get to know how strong they are and where would they come from but for now I don't like this too much..
cool chapter, and why was that claymore so affraid of them? Are they really that strong?
Way to go to Helen for messing isley up that much!!!, I be once he releases though he will be back to normal and its going to get messy....
Im so eager to see the girls start fighting with their true strength now, everyones been getting so strong and fighting without their youriki for so long, I bet once they release their going to be stronger than the current #1's in the organization!
And these new monsters, seems like their hungry and may eat people or something?
AHHHH so many questions
A pie in the sky?
The story's kinda slow right now, lots of action but less development. LOL at Easley (Isley, or whatever the spelling is).
Great chapter, although not much happened other than the introduction of a third kind of monster, and Easly's formidable power (I hope Easly will battle those female versions of "Tayuya's summon-look-alikes", and he gets too crippled to attack those 2 claymores afterwards)
I'm at a lost with this chapter. What exactly are these monsters and why is Isley of the North doing in that town all by himself looking pissed....................
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE I'M FROM TAKE A LOOK HERE MY FRIEND:Spoiler!

chsnyder writes that the data is limited to 936 bits in his implementation.
Actually, it has nothing to do with RSA being CPU intensive, RAM or anything of the sort.
Basically when you encrypt something using an RSA key (whether public or private), the encrypted value must be smaller than the key (due to the maths used to do the actual encryption). So if you have a 1024-bit key, in theory you could encrypt any 1023-bit value (or a 1024-bit value smaller than the key) with that key.
However, the PKCS#1 standard, which OpenSSL uses, specifies a padding scheme (so you can encrypt smaller quantities without losing security), and that padding scheme takes a minimum of 11 bytes (it will be longer if the value you're encrypting is smaller). So the highest number of bits you can encrypt with a 1024-bit key is 936 bits because of this (unless you disable the padding by adding the OPENSSL_NO_PADDING flag, in which case you can go up to 1023-1024 bits). With a 2048-bit key it's 1960 bits instead.
But as chsnyder correctly wrote, the normal application of a public key encryption algorithm is to store a key or a hash of the data you want to respectively encrypt or sign. A hash is typically 128-256 bits (the PHP sha1() function returns a 160 bit hash). And an AES key is 128 to 256 bits. So either of those will comfortably fit inside a single RSA encryption.

Comments: Just starting out in goal as an adult and these pads fit the bill. It is tough to get all the equipment to play based on the cost of equipment. You always hear people say don't go cheap. Well these pads are on the cheap side and they are great. I have had no problems with them at all. I can move well in them and my knees feel fine going into the butterfly. I can only compare them to an older 12" TPS model I got on ebay, and I can tell you I am glad I bought a new, modern larceny pads to replace them. My knees are much happier now. I play drop in so I do face more experienced players at time, and the pads are fine on hard shots as well.
Also as I had them a year playing once a week, they are holding up very well

Comments: Just purchased these pad and wore them in a scrimmage. Great pads, don't think for the money you could get a better pad . Great protection along with mobility.

Winter on the Texas Gulf Coast is in full swing. We just went through a few days of freezing weather and reports are floating around of fish kills along the middle and lower Texas Gulf Coast. I plan to take ride around the Sabine Lake's shallow water areas to see how our shallow water Redfish and Trout are holding up. Luckly the upper coast has so much deeper water than a lot of the middle to lower Texas Coast that we shouldn't have the same problem. Lets keep our fingers crossed on that one.
Before the freezing weather set in Redfish and Trout were being caught with great success wading or staking-out over shell and mud flats. With the bays vacant of shad and shrimp just look for the Mullet. Find the mullet and use your Stake-out Stik (http://lboutfitters.com/stake-out) to hold you on the fish and slow your lure retrieve.
Once this weather starts to warm the fish should really turn on. Get out and Stake-out.

Another Marijuana Myth
Myth - Smoking Marijuana makes you mellow
Does Marijuana Cause Violence?
One of the claims by those advocating marijuana legalization is that smoking grass does not lead to the violent behavior associated with drinking alcohol. They instead ascribe qualities to marijuana smoking of soothing the savage beast in humans.
What they learned was that "the percentages of youths engaging in delinquent behaviors in the past year rose with increasing frequency of marijuana use."

Customer Reviews
Comments: This lure is great, really well designed and looks amazing. Perfect size for bass and other species of fish. I used this lure recently, October 16th through 18th at a shallow, dark bottom lake in Pennsylvania. I purchased the Ito Wakasagi and it was catching largemouth, smallmouth, and pike the whole trip, even though the conditions were horrible. Unfortunately I hooked a pike and as it was next to the boat it jumped and cut the line. I will definitely be buying more of these lures.
From: Madison, New Jersey
Comments: This is a great crankbait, especially at the 16.99 price. Flawless paint job and sticky sharp hooks, but is a little smaller than expected, about the size of a series 1xs strike king even tho its the larger of the griffons.

The Crafts Fair of the Southern Highlands Craft Guild is a wonderful showcase for the best artists in the Appalachians. Twice a year, in July and October, the Southern Highland Craft Guild presents this outstanding exhibit of traditional as well as contemporary crafts and artwork at the US Cellular Center. I never tire of going to it. The fair has exhibited work by Guild artists since 1948. Many of the artists display their work year after year, and you can see how they develop and change over time. But there are always surprises too. My experience over the years of going to this exhibit is that it's part great shopping for one of a kind gifts and part fine art exhibit. The level of the work can be art museum quality and is just a joy to explore. With the work of over 200 juried artists being shown and sold, there is something for every artistic taste. The rich diversity and talent attracts collectors and gallery owners as well as shoppers.
A Tiny Sampling of What's in Store:
One of the artists returning for this show is Wendy Seaward. She calls her stunning intricate jewelry "intuitive beading".
Her work ranges from very affordable one-of-a-kind earrings to amazing beaded masks and neck piece collages of stones and beads.
Harry Hearn is another artist returning for this show. He posed with his incredible clay works for me during the July Crafts Fair.
Rebecca Kempson's intricate and incredible life-like dolls will be there as well and they are totally riveting to look at.
The guild also hosts craft demonstrations throughout the fair in keeping with their traditional mission of educating the public about the history of crafts in this area of the country and the techniques used. Watch George McCollum create a white oak basket from tree to completed basket. Dede Styles will be demonstrating spinning and the use of natural plant dyes to color yarn. There will be demonstrations of less traditional crafts as well.
And there's music too! Mountain musicians perform live on the arena stage. Hot Duck Soup will play old time music with the help of "kazoos, slide whistles, banjos, guitars, ukes, an antique cornet, washtub bass and the Cacophonium" on Friday the 18th. Other performers will play everything from gospel, to bluegrass, to American Swing-grass.
Tickets to the 66th Annual Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands are $8 at the door. Children under 12 are admitted for free. Hours are Thurs-Sat 10AM to 6PM, Sunday 10AM-5PM.

Comments: I love running in this shoe. The fit is great with a snug heel and midfoot and a wide forefoot. It's a very slipper-like shoe that is very comfortable to run sockless. They are the type of shoe that disappears on your feet. I've done about everything in this shoe from 15 mile long runs to a road 5k. I have about 300 miles on them so far on a mix of roads and trails. They are holding up well with relatively minimal outsole wear and the insole is in good condition. The lugs are not deep, so I don't recommend for wet/muddy trails. They also aren't going to provide much protection on a rocky, technical trail. Overall, these are my favorite running shoe right now and I plan on buying another pair soon.
From: Glen W. NJ, USA. June 24th 2014
Comments: Minimal running shoes are good for nonrunners, or tartan, and excellent at breaking toes.
From: Anonymous. May 18th 2014
Comments: MT10 is probably the best running shoes I have ever used. But not for all round trail running as it was meant to at the first point. Conclusion: It's a light and really good natural running shoe, for use primarily on road or a dry gravel trail, without a doubt my favorite running shoe. Trail use: I have used the shoe in Denmark, soft beech and pine forest ground. The earth is wet and covered with leafs most of the year. Here is the grip on the shoe just not good enough. Neither in Greenland where the ground is primarily wet leaves, grass, rocks and snow. This is not the best combination for the soles either, here I would recommend Salomon Speedcross 3 I know this isn't a natural running shoe but it got the grip! The problem with MT10 on a wet ground is that you get wet feed quite fast due to the low sole before the mesh starts. I have used the MT10 shoe on a gravel road in southern France and I will say here the grip was acceptable. Road use: For use on road the grip is good when you use it on dry road. It becomes a bit slippery, but within a acceptable level. Not as slippery as the MR10 which is terrible.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Emery County Municipal Building Authority met in their regularly scheduled meeting on June 4 at 2 p.m. Those present were Commissioners Ira Hatch and Drew Sitterud. Board members Dennis Nelson, Sharon Jensen and Randy Jensen were also present.
The first item of business was the presentation of the Emery County Industrial Incubator Project survey. Welles Cannon from Cannon and Cannon, Inc., a professional management group, was on hand to make the presentation. He brought copies of the Impact Study of the Industrial Incubator for the board members. The purpose of the study was to determine feasibility of manufacturing at the incubator site. "We have looked at the building and it has a few problems. Most manufacturing takes place in large factories or complexes. Labor is cheap in other countries and it is difficult to compete. We need a unique feature in people or raw material. I have searched the country over and looked at various types of manufacturing and there is a report included in the study. We have to find a need or introduce something new.
"The building will need the plumbing repaired and will need the roof replaced. The gravel portion of floor will need to be replaced with concrete. The ceiling in one part of the building is only eight feet high. Most manufacturing operations would need a higher ceiling than that. The rooms on the side can be used for offices and storage. The building does need some work and we did not determine what the upgrades would cost.
"Of the 4,300 surveys sent out we received back 349. A number of the people who responded did not know what an incubator was because they responded that stores or a bowling alley be put there. I have given those surveys to the economic director here to look at these businesses that people want outside the incubator.
"Of those responding, a significant number, 93 percent wanted to remain in the county and those who said they are leaving would like to stay but needed a job to do so. We also broke down the respondents by town and Huntington had the largest percentage responding with 24 percent. Sixty-one percent of the respondents were women. Of those surveyed 39 percent said, yes they would like to own their own business. The largest majority of those returning surveys thought a machine shop or welding business would do well in the incubator," said Cannon.
Cannon also pointed out that a number of the respondents said they were currently unemployed. Many had mechanical skills, many were in education with degrees and 24 people with master's degrees responded and 10 with phds. "This is very favorable news," he said.
"The incubator will help people get started. Fifty-seven percent of the people returning surveys said they would help to get the incubator going. Many of them had skills in business, bookkeeping, auto repair and heavy equipment operation. Twenty-one people had experience in business management.
"We are sensitive to not competing with a business already existing in the county," said Cannon. "We looked for something with a lower capital requirement that could utilize the incubator services. These services include: Subsidized rent for the building, forgiveness or reduced property taxes during the incubator period, assistance by volunteers and reduced rate bookkeepers and accountants, engineering services by volunteers and reduced rate professionals, management professionals that will volunteer to sit on a board of directors or a management council, special consideration by lending institutions and governmental agencies to help place appropriate financing, training arrangements for qualified owners and employees, mentoring, suggested business plan is provided in the booklet by Incubator study consultants, technology for this project has been researched and will be available to the incubator business, marketing training and guidance can be provided by professionals within the county by volunteers for reduced rates," explained Cannon.
Cannon went on to mention a company named ReSyk from Brigham City which recycles plastics. This plastic is made into wheels for garbage cans, etc. Stepping stones for gardens with grippers on the back are also manufactured. Cannon explained the beauty of the operation is that you don't have to clean the plastic. This recycled plastic could include milk cartons, oil cartons, etc. The plastic is ground into 3/8" chips which are heated and blended and then molded into the various products. The TC-350 Compounder is patented by ReSyk there is a royalty charge on the use of the machine after its purchase. Cannon mentioned another company that wants to look at the plastic to be used for frames for the furniture they build instead of wood because the plastic does not split. He said there are many possibilities for the products.
Cannon estimated a business of this type would need to remain in the incubator for seven years. The estimated total capital needs for the first year would be $700,000. This includes the equipment purchases, start-up expense and working capital. The jobs created by a business of this sort would be on the higher end of the pay scale. Machine operators would be $12-14 per hour. Managers-$5,000 per month, sales person, $3,000 per month with possible bonuses, secretary- $14 per hour.
Cannon explained that the jobs created would be 10 after one year, 28 after five years and 44 after 10 years. An operator will be selected by application from interested parties who based upon their experience, training, credit worthiness and strong desire will be reviewed by the Emery County Economic Development Council and a selection will be made from those who filed an application or by recruiting a qualified operator if one cannot be found locally.
Commissioner Sitterud instructed board members to review the information compiled by Cannon and be ready to discuss how to proceed at the next meeting. The board expressed their thanks and appreciation to Cannon for the job he did on the incubator survey.
The next item on the agenda was the ratification of the petition for annexation of property into the city of Castle Dale. It was approved. The next item was the ratification of the special construction agreement between Emery Telcom and Emery County. It was explained that this was needed to allow the telephone line to the public safety complex property to be installed.
The next item discussed was the connectivity to the public safety complex, Jeff Guymon explained the situation. For now the connection will be plugged in at the current jail facility and two wireless antenna bridges will be used to bring the connection to the new complex. This method could change in the future as conditions change. Concern was expressed over this plan after the current jail facility is vacated and they move into the new complex. The equipment will be checked on a regular basis.
Todd Kitchen, project manager for the safety complex was on hand with an update. He said, "We are still on schedule and the complex will be completed by July 1. There is still a lot of work to do. We are on budget for the jail basically as planned and everything is fitting. The courts building is moving along. We have finalized the drawings with the state courts in Salt Lake and that is a big thing. We are moving on the construction of the outer shell and working ahead of schedule, so there are no problems there."
The next item on the agenda was the approval of the bills. Clerk Bruce Funk presented the bills. He said he still has questions on some of the charges from Sahara. Some of the truck charges were deducted from the public safety side and added to the court side of the project. Also charges for computer use and other items purchased for the computer were questioned by Funk. Commissioner Hatch said he would check with Sahara and clarify the items. Funk also said he needed detailed receipts from Sahara.
It was determined that all but the bills in question would be paid at this time. The next meeting of the Emery County Municipal Building Authority will be on July 2 at 2 p.m.

Skillfully blending the textures of historical reality with the rich and sensual imaginings of a timeless fairy tale, The Twentieth Wife sweeps listeners up in Mehrunnisa's embattled love with Prince Salim - and in the bedazzling destiny of a woman, a legend in her own time, who was all but lost to history until now.
©2002 Indu Sundaresan; (P)2006 Blackstone Audio Inc.
"Sundaresan writes in the great tradition of the Indian epic, an art she carries forward with grace and brilliance....This is a remarkably readable book despite the historical basis, with which many readers will not be familiar." (Library Journal)
"Sundaresan's debut is a sweeping, carefully researched tale of desire, sexual mores, and political treachery set against the backdrop of 16th- and 17th-century India....[She] charts the chronology of the Mughal Empire, describing life in the royal court in convincing detail and employing authentic period terms throughout." (Publishers Weekly)
The Twentieth Wife is a tough nut to crack. You *want* to like it; it's painstakingly researched and brings the court intrigues of Mughul India to life. However, the book has a few really critical flaws:
1. It often skips the key events, describing them between-chapter narration, choosing instead to flesh out the areas between key events.
2. It's characters change sometimes without a sense of why. You get the sense that the author saw, in the History, a change in character, and then made the character changed in the novel without a good sense of motivation. A simple non-spoiler example (although by no means the most jarring) is Mehrunnisa suddenly becoming an expert craftswoman.
3. The pacing is very uneven -- threads are suddenly picked up and then dropped as promptly. It seems, again, as though the author were paying close attention to historical accounts and including things simply because they're recorded in the history. The sudden inclusion of the English & Portuguese at the end of the book is very jarring.
4. The story relies on the love between two characters, but that love doesn't feel believable. There is a sense that there is a more subtle story about power, status and money hiding in the facts which the author tries to skirt around in favor of some fairytale concept of love. However, the facts don't seem to fit the emotions the characters are meant to have. I wasn't convinced by being told, again and again, how much the motivation was love. It felt hollow somehow.
It was an enjoyable enough listen -- it got me through re-painting my apartment, but i was never lost in the story. The story and setting are quite interesting, the narration is very good, but the execution of the book is flat and somehow lifeless. I do not regret listening, but I wouldn't wholeheartedly recommend it either.
"Great narration, love story & history"
I bought this on a whim during an audible sale and am very glad I did. My next credit will go towards purchasing the sequel, The Feast of Roses. It narrates the love story between Mehrunissa, the daughter of a Persian bureaucrat who flees his native land to seek better fortune in India, and Prince Salim (Emperor Jahangir) in late 16th and early 17th century India. The two meet as adolescents and are only able to marry as mature adults. Sundaresan is excellent in the small details - the tastes and smells of exotic foods, the ambiance of street life, of secluded royal courts, and of political intrigue and military campaigns. I imagine this book might appeal more to women than men. However, it provides a fascinating window into this period of Indian history. The narrator is wonderful, very expressive. Mehrunissa, by the way, is the aunt of the woman for whom the Taj Majal was built. She became a powerful political figure in her own right; this story is told in the sequel.
"Fiction that brings history to life"
First, this is a five star narration. Sneha Mathan was truly brilliant in giving voice to the characters. What a lyrical, rich, thoughtful and seasoned voice.
I felt the story was stronger in the second half than the first. Because the story adhered so closely to actual events and personages, I felt I was learning history while listening to Sundaresan's characters were embodied in Mathan's voice. This was historical fiction at its richest, I think, where the author fills in motives, feelings, dialog and thoughts about real events and people. The preface to each chapter is an excerpt from a historical piece and is a nice touch. You might find yourself, like me, looking up different references.
I agree with another reviewer that the concept of romantic love in the story probably was more prominent in the novel than in actual history. On the other hand, to avoid giving away a spoiler, I will say that there is plenty of evidence and reason to believe that the marriage alluded to in the title was different than those that usually took place. Story was really good, narration was even better.
"Exquisite Exposition"
This is by far the very best book I have ever received through Audible and I almost passed it up because ancient history bores me to tears. The sample lured me in, and I'm glad I took a chance on this little gem. Both the writer and narrator have transformed the history of ancient India into a fictional masterpiece that really appeals to modern readers. This isn't your ordinary read it and enjoy it once kind of book. The entire story is a captivating production of greed, envy, defiance, lust and romance surrounding the larger than life characters. What's more, the amazing narrator delivers an award winning presentation in driving every character to the core of vivid imagination. Definitely a treasure I'll be enjoying again!
"A good historical novel"
I really knew very little about the Emperors in India in the 16th and 17th century and therefore I really enjoyed this fictionalized novel of real events. It was very interesting to read of the court life and the hardships faced by those around the court, as well as the historical figures.
This is one of those books that is better listened to than read, because the reader's accent gives a charming dimension to the story.
There is a sequel to this book and another by the same author and I plan to listen to both of them.
"Couldn't finish it"
First the good news: this is beautifully written - and the narration is outstanding. The bad news - the story isn't very interesting. Although the title character seems quite interesting, the book gets lost because of its focus on historical accuracy and its dogged effort to to lay out the history of the story rather than writing an interesting story. For example, of the first 8 hours that I listened to - much of it was about Prince Salim and his exploits. There were long stretches when the story had nothing to do with the title character. If you are looking for a history primer on this corner of the world at this time in history, you might like it.
Reading Raven
"Rich, dramatic and beautiful"
Incredible images and descriptions from this well researched book....beautiful storyline that allows you to take a glimpse into the history of the Mughal Empire. Sundaresan's writing can best be described as fluid and elegant. The characters were well developed. The narrator made the story come alive. This is not a book you are sitting at the edge of your chair waiting for the next chapter, rather you are lounging on a comfortable chair basking in the imagery and perhaps silently appreciating the comforts of the 21st century.
"Entertaining listen"
I bought the second book in this series; The feast of roses and loved it so I decided to try the first book as a audio book. I was not disappointed! I listen to this book while doing routine chores at work and the time flew by. I would recommend this audio book to anyone who likes historical fiction or historial romance.
Beautifully written and narrated. Can't wait for her next novel. Vivid descriptions. Characters developed nicely. A love story for the ages.
At this time in Europe, a woman was the Queen of England but, in the Mogul empire, women could not earn money or own property. They were nothing without their husbands and they were required to give them children. A husband was often chosen for them and sometimes they could not even see their husband before they married.
This is the story of the marriage of a common woman in Hindustan, the daughter of a Persian refugee, to the Mogul Emperor. She had dreamed of marrying him since she was a little girl and he was a prince. This educated common woman saw that the only way a woman could have freedom and be self sufficient was to be in the royal harem. She won the love of the emperor prince but the emperor (his father) had already promised her to a man she had never met. The importance of propriety and honor in society prevented their families from calling off the arranged marriage for something as unimportant as love.
This was a riveting story of unrequited love in a time where women had no power or influence. It is also a sad story of a woman who was too intelligent to simply fulfill the duties of wife to a man she did not love.
The most interesting thing about this book is that, although the intimate details of their lives are fictional, it is rooted in historical fact. You can get a glimpse of the splendor and beauty of the Mogul Empire. I am not sure if the dates given in the book are in the christian or islamic calendar but, you can roughly match the events to western events with which we are more familiar.

Hi all,
I've a 7033 thinkcentre with Windows 7 Sp1 64bit and I'm experiencing an high, strange, memory consumption. When you boot Windows is using about 900mb of mem. If you leave untouched the pc after 24hrs you'll find 3gb or more of memory used.
Looking online this seems a well known behaviour due to some BIOS question and everywhere, also on microsoft website, is told to disable a bios feature like memory remapping. M90 does not have any similar choice in che BIOS settings.
Does anyone have suggestions?

Vanguard Group founder Jack Bogle fired something of a shot over the bow of the biggest mutual-fund companies this morning, arguing the business has become too concentrated in the hands of huge financial conglomerates.
Forty of the fifty largest fund firms are owned by a conglomerate, Bogle said, which raises a question: Are these firms serving their own shareholders, or their fund investors? It's a "dual fiduciary duty" that poses conflicts, he told listeners at the Morningstar Investment Conference this morning.
It's not a new theme for Bogle, who just last month was railing on the subject in a speech entitled "Big Money in Boston." One wrinkle was different this time, though: Bogle went Biblical.
He used a passage from the Gospel of Matthew to deliver the diss: "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other."
"It is very clear that a firm owned by Deutsche Bank (DB), loves Deutsche Bank," Bogle said to the packed convention hall. "They are the master who is loved. I won't say the shareholders are hated … but [the managers will say,] 'Dammit, we're not going to cut our fees.'"

I'm fortunate to have a well-stocked farm stand a mile from my house. This fall, it's supplied me with pumpkins, apples, cider, root vegetables, and dried beans. I stopped by today for apples—I've been eating two or three Cortlands a day, and I'm going to attempt a gluten-free pie this weekend (wish me luck).
Tomorrow from noon to 4pm, The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association holds its annual Great Maine Apple Day at the Common Ground Educational Center in Unity. The event celebrates the diversity of Maine apples with tastings, cooking demonstrations, and cider making, as well as workshops on fruit tree pruning and Maine apple history. Vendors will be selling local organic apples and apple products. It sounds like nice way to spend a rainy afternoon. Maine readers, are any of you planning to go?
This is why October is better than all the other months.

Bills training camp observations: Day 17
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 15 2014 12:50AM
Thursday was the day most fans of the Buffalo Bills were waiting for. With a second-year quarterback taking all the first-team snaps, many were hoping the light would go on for EJ Manuel, and that as soon as he started to play well enough that he would turn the corner and become the player that some are holding out hope for.
The fans of the team, although most were unable to attend due to the joint practice between Buffalo and the Pittsburgh Steelers in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, had to read all the rave reviews about Manuel and crack a bit of a smile. What made Manuel's day so good, and who else stood out? Here are some observations from the second day at Saint Vincent College:
EJ's earmarked day
- All throughout training camp, daily practices have been a struggle for EJ Manuel. While he has had his moments in camp at St. John Fisher College, Manuel has lacked the overall consistency and accuracy that many clamor for. For two-and-a-half hours at least, Manuel looked like he had taken a step forward for how he picked apart the Steelers' first-team defensive unit. Throughout practice, Manuel finished the day completing 17-of-23 passes for 216 (unofficial) yards, which both serve as a massive improvement from the previous day of work against the Steelers. Manuel was sacked three times throughout the day but the collapsing pocket didn't seem to rattle him at all. In fact, the Bills quarterback dropped all the way back and looked for whichever target had already won, or was in the process of winning, and delivered his passes with confidence. Thursday was undoubtedly the most comfortable he has appeared in the pocket during a practice, which led the way to Manuel's poise and accuracy to take a step up from where it had been even a day ago. None of his incompletions were mistakes that the Steelers' defense were ready to pounce on. As Manuel said after the practice, he still needs to work on finding the right level of consistency so that way the ups and downs of training camp won't have as large a disparity as it has. By all means, though, not only was that Manuel's best practice of 2014, but it also could be the best he has shown at practice since entering the NFL.
Nearly 30-percent of Manuel's passes went to…
- The Buffalo Bills addressed the wide receiver group with a few bold moves, jettisoning one longterm player and replenishing with the top wide receiver in the draft, Sammy Watkins, and also trading for the previously troubled Mike Williams to help contribute to the team. Manuel now has one of the shiniest of shiny toys in his arsenal, and he's taking advantage on daily basis. Of his 17 completions, five of Manuel's passes were thrown Watkins' way, who collected five receptions and 61 yards, far more than any other player. The quarterback also targeted Watkins two other times but the throw on both of those plays was either too far out in front or it was lacking touch on the deep pass down the field. The pairing of Manuel and Watkins is likely to be one that will demand attention for much of the season, but the two seem to be on the same page quite a bit going up against a different opponent.
Bryce Brown's struggles
- On three separate occasions Thursday, third-string running back Bryce Brown lacked the defining characteristic that made EJ Manuel's day such a good one: Brown lacked an overall decisiveness and it led to the demise of two other plays as well. It started off with the running back taking in what looked to be a harmless pitch play that took the runner to the offense's right side, and it even looked like the running back had caught it well enough to tuck it away. Brown took two more steps and the ball popped up and out of his hands which allowed the Steelers defense to pounce on it. Later in the day, Brown also dropped a swing pass that was wide open to gain big yardage. All that, was followed up by the young running back trying to pull a C.J. Spiller and reverse fields because the original rushing lane was shut down by the defense. Not shockingly, he was held to just a minimal gain. Brown has done many positive things in both camp and the preseason games, but Thursday wasn't his brightest evening.
Hogan experiment not over
- Sometimes in a training camp setting, head coaches will deliver messages to some of their more important players by giving their backups more time during practices and games just as an attempt to teach them a lesson. At first, that could have been the construed case for wide receiver Chris Hogan and second-year wideout Robert Woods. The latter has been thought of as a big part of the offensive attack for much of the offseason, but as of two weeks ago the Bills haven't been using Woods with the first-team nearly as much as many were expecting. Instead, Hogan has been getting the majority of repetitions at slot receiver with the first team. Initially, Hogan's rise could have just been to rile up Woods. However, Hogan just doesn't want to seem to go away. His impressive play throughout training camp has him in a spot where he's getting closer to lock territory for the 53-man roster. It will be especially safe if he continues to supplant Woods with the first-team offense.
Bills' Day 17 MVP: QB EJ Manuel
- This is the day many have been waiting for. Manuel truly had his first great practice of 2014, dispersing the ball to the open man and almost always hitting that player in the perfect position and in stride. One practice doesn't mean a player has made the next step in their career, regardless of the position. Manuel will simply look to build off the positivity he has helped create for himself on the second day in Latrobe.
Bills' Day 17 LVP: HB Bryce Brown
- The trio of aforementioned negative plays was enough to earn him these honors for the day. Don't look too deeply into it, though. Brown will still figure in with the team once they define his role. It may not even happen in 2014 if both C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson get through the entire season. If something does happen to one of those two, Brown will be part of the new duo of runners.
Injury Update:
K Dustin Hopkins (groin), S Jonathan Meeks (neck), LB Ty Powell (medical), G Chris Williams (lower back), TE Tony Moeaki (hamstring) and WR Marquise Goodwin (hamstring) all could not participate in the practice due to their injuries.
Up Next:
The Bills get Friday off and then prepare for their third preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night at 7:30 pm.

Admittedly, there can only be so much stock placed into the first four weeks of the college football season.
And certainly at this point the Heisman race is more of a hodge-podge of the nation's most talented players, usually from the biggest programs, rather than serious contenders.
NCAA RE-RANK: Our team list 125-1
But still, all of the stats and big plays from these early games will eventually culminate into a body of work that will leave some players as All-Americans, others as blue-chip draft picks, but only one as the Heisman Trophy winner.
Keeping in mind that Oregon's Marcus Mariota and De'Anthony Thomas, as well as South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney did not play this week but are some of the nation's top Heisman candidates, let's take a look at how the other Heisman hopefuls did in Week 4.
QB - Tajh Boyd, Clemson @ NC State: 24/37 244 yards, 3 TDs
Boyd returned for his senior year at Clemson with several pieces of unfinished business, to win a national championship and a Heisman Trophy. One of the nation's most versatile talents at quarterback, he will produce great passing and rushing numbers in Clemson's high-powered offense. In his first ACC action of the year, on the road nonetheless, Boyd played a very efficient game, scoring three times with no turnovers to lead the Tigers to victory and a 3-0 start.
MISERY INDEX: Moping in Morgantown
QB - Derek Carr, Fresno State vs Boise State: 39/60 460 yards, 4 TDs
When it comes down to really narrowing down the candidates at the end of the year, Carr is going to draw a lot of criticism for playing in a weaker conference and in a system that allows him to flourish. I mean if you throw the ball 60 times a game some big stats are bound to follow. But completing 65 percent of your passes and having a 4-0 touchdown to interception ratio is hard to argue with no matter what offense you are running. Look for Carr's numbers to be some of the best at the end of the year, but the level of competition to remain a question mark.
QB – Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville vs Florida International: 17/22 212 yards, 4 TDs
Teddy Touchdown lived up to his name on Saturday, as Louisville just torched FIU for 72 points. With a ridiculous 77 percent completion percentage, Bridegwater put on a clinic in efficiency, throwing for four touchdowns and no interceptions, before being replaced late in the game, probably so he can start writing that Heisman speech.
TOP 25 STOCK WATCH: Biggest jumps, dips in Week 4
QB – Kenny Guiton, Ohio State vs Florida A&M: 24/34 215 yards, 6 TDs 1 INT
For those who are like me and think that pretty much any quarterback can put up Heisman-like numbers in Urban Meyers offense, Kenny Guiton may be exhibit A. Braxton Miller was actually my preseason favorite to win the Heisman for that very reason, but with an injury to his knee in Week 2, Guiton answered the call and has since thrown himself into the Heisman conversation. This game in particular was his coming out party, tying a school-record of six touchdown passes thrown in a game.
QB – Aaron Murray, Georgia vs North Texas: 22/30 408 yards 73% 3 TDs, rushing TD
Like Boyd, Murray is another player who decided to forego the NFL draft for his senior season, in hopes of winning a national championship and perhaps being named the country's best player. He has been off to a solid start this year and if he can keep throwing for more than 400 yards and maintain a completion percentage above 70 like he did in this game, then he will be in the conversation at year's end.
RB – Todd Gurley II, Georgia vs North Texas: 21 carries, 91 yards, 1 TD
Gurley is considered one of the best runners in college football. His combination of size and speed gives defenses nightmares and having a quarterback as dangerous as Murray allows him to exploit defenses who can't afford to load the box. He seems to score almost every game as he did on Saturday, but we will see if he can maintain his numbers when the Bulldogs hit the bulk of their SEC schedule.
GO FIGURE: The weird, wacky and wow of the weekend
RB – Lache Seastrunk, Baylor vs LA-Monroe: 10 carries, 156 yards, 1 TD
Seastrunk is fast, very fast. But for as fast as he is, he may even be more confident. The Baylor running back predicted that he would win the Heisman before there was even a snap taken by anyone this season. And he has not disappointed. In three games Seastrunk already has 417 rushing yards and six touchdowns. And that's only on 38 carries, giving him an average of 11 yard every time he touches the ball. Consider him a strong dark-horse candidate for the trophy.
QB – Jameis Winston, Florida State vs Bethune-Cookman: 10/19 148 yards, 2 TDs
This was not the best game, against not the best team, for the freshman quarterback. But it's sometimes easy to forget that he is only a freshman, after throwing for more touchdowns than incompletions in his first start. But if famous Jameis wants to follow in Johnny Manziel's footsteps by beating out several upperclassmen for the award then he will really have to turn it up.
RB – Duke Johnson, Miami vs Savannah State: 8 carries, 59 yards, 1 TD
A lack-luster performance for Johnson, he surprisingly did not even lead his team in carries. But the sophomore has scored in all three of the Hurricanes games so far and does possess the type of big-play ability that will allow him to put up great numbers throughout the season.
QB – Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M vs SMU: 14/21 244 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 12 carries for 102 yards, 2 rushing TDs
The defending champ if you will, Johnny Football has gotten off to another great start. In fact, Johnny Football's numbers through the first four games of this season compared to the first four from last season show slight improvements in yards and even touchdowns, but the one big difference is that he has thrown four interceptions so far this season, where as he had none at this time last year. Regardless, a couple of interceptions are not going to take Manziel out of the picture that easily. He looks primed to have another season where he puts up gaudy numbers in the SEC, perhaps even breaking some of his own records along the way.
FLOYD MAYWEATHER: Wins $200,000 betting on Manziel and Texas A&M
QB – Jordan Lynch, Northern Illinois vs Eastern Illinois: 21/30, 235 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT
Lynch may not be a household name just yet, but this senior has been racking up stats for several years now at Northern Illinois. The dual-threat quarterback is like the Johnny Manziel of the MAC Conference, able to throw the ball down field consistently, while also a threat to rush for over 100 yards any given day. Playing in the MAC may hurt his chances at the end of the season, but if the undefeated Huskies can keep winning Lynch could sneak up on people.
QB – A.J. McCarron, Alabama vs Colorado State: 20/26, 258 yards 76.9%, 1 TD, 1 INT
For the Heisman voters who like consistency, efficiency, and wins, McCarron may be their guy. In pursuit of his third straight national championship, the Crimson Tide quarterback almost always has his completion percentage in the 65-70 percent range and interceptions for the season can usually be counted on one hand. Oh, not to mention he leads the No. 1 team in the nation.
RB – T.J. Yeldon. Alabama vs Colorado State: 7 carries, 49 yards
Yeldon is a very talented back running behind a stout offensive line. This was not his strongest performance and he is not having the type of season necessary to become a Heisman finalist. But he still possessed the right skills and the right team to be there in the end. It just remains to be seen whether or not there are enough touches to go around on an Alabama team stacked with talent.
QB – Devin Gardner, Michigan vs UCONN: 11/23 97 yards, 0 TD, 2 INTs, 19 carries for 64 yards, 1 TD
This stat line is about as confusing to me as the fact that Gardner is allowed to wear the No. 98 for the rest of the season. But either way, coming into this game Gardner had impressed enough people to at least be in the early conversation for the Heisman. But with performances like this that conversation might be short-lived. He is another dual-threat quarterback who will put up numbers through the air and on the ground. But when it's all said and done can he match the numbers put up by the other running quarterbacks.
MICHIGAN: What's wrong with Devin Gardner?
QB – Brett Hundley, UCLA vs New Mexico St.: 23/35, 280 yards, 3 TDs, 2 INTs
Hundley and the Bruins continue to win and continue to move closer to the top 10 as a team. With increased national spotlight, Hundley should have a chance down the stretch to show what he is made of. Mostly a pocket passer, Hundley also has the athletic ability to get out of the pocket and throw on the run when needed.
LSU makes a move up after beating Auburn, while Michigan tumbles after lackluster win at Connecticut.

: We have replaced the stems, etc in the bathtub today. This was done 7 yrs ago and the shower/tub diverter never worked properly even since then. So we have no "index" to use for replacing the diverter. We are preparing to sell the house and hoping to fix it this time.
: My husband has been diligently adjusting the stem millimeter by millimeter. The shower is now flowing well but the tub faucet continues with a steady stream at the same time. We removed the stem and "flushed out" the pipe with no improvement. Can you help?

Which tells me your a pro who knows what he is doing. I'm impressed.
: I regularly remove tubs single handedly, and install the new cast iron one the same way. As long as it is not on an upper floor.
: : I agree with the other poster. Replace it. It is not as big as a job as it looks. A few comments though.
: : 1) It is easy to break apart a tub with a sledge hammer with the necessary safty equipment. Removing it intact will require help. They wiegh over 3oo lbs.
: : 2) The drain connection can be tricky, In my case the new trap hit a stud.
: : 3) A acrylic tub or amercast tub can be manhandled by one person. A cast iron can not.
: : 4) You might find that the new tub is slightly shorter so you might need to build out the walls with furring strips. I need to add 1/2" to one end. Not a big beal but you need to allow for it.
: : 5) Make sure the wieght of the new tub can be supported by the floor. My new tub was considerable deeper than my old tub but the tub was 200 lbs lighter so the wieght with water was similar.
: : 6) It can be done as a DYIer.
: : Good luck.

Thanksgiving vegetable side dishes, no cooking required.
Baked Curried Rice with Apples and Coconut
By Freya Bellin
This dish is wonderfully flavorful, blending sweet-tart apples, nutty brown rice, and spicy coconut curry. As promised, it really is hands-off, and the results are fantastic. By cooking the dry rice before adding liquid it becomes extra nutty, plus it gets well coated with the curry- and ginger-infused oil. The coconut milk is subtle but crucial to the creaminess of the dish, and the shredded coconut adds a nice toasty element throughout. Once mixed in, give the apples some time to soften up—they will cook significantly and taste best when warmed all the way through. You can certainly play around with variations on this recipe, maybe swapping out the apples for raisins or pineapple, or some combination. Try topping it with plain Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
I did some improvising with the cooking technique in this recipe, and instead of using an oven-proof pan, I cooked everything in a large skillet up until it was ready for the oven. At that point, I transferred it to a small glass Pyrex dish and covered it with aluminum foil. The dish still came out great, so don't be deterred if you don't have the right cookware. Recipe from The Food Matters Cookbook.
We Asked Walmart. It Answered.
Last week I wrote about Walmart's recently announced $1 billion initiative to begin sourcing more produce from local small- and medium-sized farms. (In the U.S. it aims to double the amount of local produce it sells, to 9 percent, by 2015.) I suggested that the company had not been entirely forthcoming about the details of its plan, and consequently posed a handful of questions for the world's largest retailer.
I wanted to know some basic things: how Walmart defines "local"; whether it intends to pay small farmers full value for their produce; and if the new initiative might end up running any farmers out of business.
Pan-Cooked Salmon with Lentils
Makes: 4 servings
Time: About 1 hour
Salmon and green lentils are an excellent combination. Err on the side of undercooking the lentils. You want them to have an almost nutty texture. Other seafood you can use: trout, shrimp (both of which will cook more quickly, so make the sauce first), or scallops. Recipe from How to Cook Everything.
This Week's Minimalist (sort of): Thanksgiving
In addition to my stuffed cabbage revisited column, the dining section re-ran my 101 make-ahead thanksgiving recipes from last year. I guess it's almost turkey time.
This Week's Minimalist: Stuffed Cabbage
Braised Chard with Chicken and Steel-Cut Oats
By Freya Bellin
I've never thought to use oats in a savory dish, so this recipe immediately caught my eye. The headnote mentions that you can substitute bulgur, which maybe sounds like a more suitable dinner grain, but is actually quite similar to steel-cut oats. I opted for the oats and was pleasantly surprised by how well they fit in as a savory ingredient, with their nutty flavor and chewy texture. It makes a nice base for the sweet, vinegary sauce.
This one-pot dish comes together pretty quickly once you get it on the stove; separating and chopping the chard was probably the most time-consuming piece of the whole process, although I was happy to make use of both the stems and leaves. Browning the chicken thighs really deepens the flavor of the dish, which tastes best when eaten hot right away. Recipe from The Food Matters Cookbook.
Walmart Local and Sustainable? Let's Ask
Last month Walmart announced a $1 billion initiative to source produce from 1 million small and medium farmers, which the behemoth says will increase their income by 10 to 15 percent. Walmart's plan is to offer their customers more locally raised food as part of their corporate sustainability effort. This news has obviously created quite a buzz among supporters, skeptics, and the mainstream media. (You can tap some of it here, here, here, and here.)
As usual, Walmart has been silent in this discussion. Like every other major corporation, it totally controls the release of info and manages its spin; you see controlled quotes from anonymous spokespeople, or canned interviews, but candor is not happening. But now that we're living in a de facto corporatocracy, maybe it's time our rulers were held a bit more accountable, not only to their stockholders but to their customers, and to those affected by their decisions.
Crisp Pan-Fried Potatoes
Makes: 4 servings
Time: About 45 minutes
This technique produces better results than conventional Home Fries, but you need two things: waxy potatoes, because starchy ones will fall apart before they get crisp; and patience.
Other vegetables you can use: beets, rutabagas, parsnips, or carrots, though they won't get quite as crisp. Recipe from How to Cook Everything.
Junk Food Taxes: Go Big or Go Home
In Washington (state) there was a small tax on candy and soda, even "bottled water and some processed foods," which was rolled back by about a 2 to 1 margin Tuesday. Opponents of the tax, who claimed it would "hurt business" in the state (which is running a huge deficit, so business must be hurting already – though Bill Gates is doing fine, thank you very much), outspent the tax's supporters by 17 to 1, spending more than $16million to beat it down. It would have raised about $100 million a year, not bad except when you consider that the budget shortfall is $4 billion.
For these kinds of taxes to be successful, they're going to have to be bigger, not smaller, and seen not only as a novel way to raise new revenues (obviously, they're not an easy way to raise new revenues) but as political acts designed to bring the price of junk food to a level of what it really costs us to produce and eat it. A more politically correct and perhaps more consumer-friendly way to do this would be to tax profits and let the manufacturers raise the prices, but no doubt this would "hurt business" in the state also, and not hurting business is evidently the top priority. At least if you can outspend the less business-friendly voices by 17 to 1.

Not sure how to hop on the color blocking trend? Add a major pop of color to any outfit with a bright blazer! Najela of Copenhagen has got the right idea throwing on this oversized vintage electric green blazer over a simple black tank top tucked into a pair of black high waisted Won Hundred denim shorts. Simplicity is always key when color blocking—there's no need to overdue it with a slew of color. Try sticking to one focal bright garment, it can be just as effective especially for the fall season.

Sasha, Morrison to Chicago?
The trade winds have started up again and this time they are blowing in Chicago.
That's where Adam Morrison and maybe even Sasha Vujacic could be headed if a deal with the Bulls could be worked out. In return, the Lakers would get Kirk Hinrich.
Hinrich, a 6-foot-3 sixth-year guard out of Kansas, has two years remaining on his contract worth $17 million, which isn't outrageous but still high for the over luxury-taxed Lakers.
Still, if Jerry Buss is willing to take that gamble, it could be a decent move. Hinrich is averaging 10.1 points and 4.5 assists in a guard-heavy rotation in the windy city.

Over the course of the first two weeks, the Higher Education Appropriations Committee, on which I serve, has received a number of informative reports from each of the universities and colleges throughout the state. They are great places of advanced learning and serve our populous well. A new challenge has arisen of late. It stems from the LDS Church's lowering the age at which missionaries are called to serve. Almost overnight every institution has, and will continue for some two years, to experience a drop in enrollment. It will have the least impact at the University of Utah where the age of students spans a decade and includes not only the traditional four years but a wide variety of graduate programs. By far the largest impact falls on Snow College, which has the youngest studentbody, the fewest number of grade levels (freshman and sophomore) and near the highest percentage of LDS students. For Snow, that spells the largest percentage drop in state funding and in tuition collected. It will be a formidable challenge for President Wyatt and his staff and faculty. I hope we can give Snow at least a modest bump-up in funding so it can avoid any permanent injury during the transition period.
I was reminded this week of how truly open our society is to all voices, even those that are not respectful of any cause but their own. On Thursday, a sizable assemblage of protesters filled the capitol rotunda and were allowed admission to the Governor's reception area. They were extraordinarily loud and out of harmony with the nature of the setting. A group advocating for persons with disabilities had rented the rotunda area for a reception and an opportunity to interact with the lawmakers. Their reception wasn't a good mix with the protesters, but they handled it well. The rights of free speech and assembly are of great value in this land of the free, but they lend themselves to abuse if we are insensitive to the impact on others.
On the education front, I advanced through committee a bill to give school districts the flexibility for the next two years to use a portion of the capitol levy to fund basic costs in the classroom. The option was intended to be renewed two years ago but my bill died on the Senate calendar when time ran out. It is widely endorsed by school officials and is of primary benefit to the small rural school districts. It will go to the house floor this next week.
After considering similar bills over the last couple of years, the Judiciary Committee finally approved a bill authorizing the issuance of protective orders in a dating context. Passage of the measure was aided by the stunning and tragic statistic that during 2012 there were 15 homicides in Utah that arose out of dating relationships. One occurred in Sevier County. It is a sad commentary about the preoccupation with violence that has become an increasing part of today's culture. It threatens the safety and security which we have taken for granted. The protective orders will not solve the problem, but we hope they will help. Column: Third week of 2013 Utah Legislature.
Utah is at the top of almost every list of the most desirable places in America to locate or relocate a major business. We have a sound economy, a favorable tax structure, a reasonably young and well-educated workforce, exceptional medical care and facilities, a fair judicial system, well managed government on both the local and state level, and a high quality of life. In short, about our only "black eye" is the polluted air along the Wasatch front. Taking steps to improve air quality is on everyone's short list, but the task is not easy. Air inversion is a given in these bathtub shaped valleys. We can't turn on the exhaust fans and rearrange the terrain even if we wanted to - and we don't. For starters, I think we will continue to support and give tax breaks for automobiles and manufacturing methods that are less polluting. There are other proposals which will be carefully considered. On a personal note, it is nice to come home for a day or two on the weekend and catch up on some clean air.
The so-called "Bill of the Week" is House Bill 61 which granted university status to Dixie State College. I was privileged to serve as chair of the Board of Trustees when the same thing happened at Southern Utah University in the early 90s. It is a significant thing for the folks in "Dixie" and forces everyone to try a little harder to be worthy of the advancement.
The House also approved a bill disallowing smoking in a motor vehicle when children are present. The justification is simple. Children don't have a vote and second-hand smoke is not good for any of us. This is as least the third year in a row that we have considered the bill. It finally had enough support. We will see how it fares in the Senate.
I don't recall mentioning passage of a bill requiring insurers to include coverage for autism. It has also been unsuccessfully advanced during previous years. The studies show increasing numbers of young people suffering from this condition and a high incidence rate in Utah. This expanded coverage will reduce the burden on a lot of families though it may impact insurance rates to a modest degree.
During my first year in the legislature, I worked on a measure to compensate wrongly convicted persons whose innocence is not established until after they have spent time in prison. It doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it seems right and fair to compensate the wrongfully imprisoned person. My judiciary committee has now unanimously endorsed expanding the statute to include payment to the surviving wife who has stuck with her deceased husband through this almost unimaginable injustice.
Wednesday was Tourism Day on the hill. Garfield and Wayne counties were well represented as was the Moab area. All of these understand the great value of living near the many wonders of Utah's outdoor world. Little more than a decade ago, we were a somewhat disjointed in our outreach. No more. We now approach tourism like a well-run machine. We are organized, thoughtful and imaginative. "Life Elevated" is attractively packaged not only to our western neighbors, but to a national and, in some instances, international audience.
I have had several visits from folks from around District 70. Please make sure you contact me if you happen to be on capitol hill.

CHICAGO – The Cubs kick off a three-game series tonight versus the Reds, part of a 10-day, 10-game homestand.
They've won seven of their last 10 games and will try to prevent the Reds from clinching the National League Central at Wrigley Field. The Cubs cap the homestand with a three-game set with the Cardinals, who currently hold the second Wild Card spot.
Tonight marks Dusty Baker's 3,000th game as a manager in his 19th year. Baker spent four seasons as the Cubs' manager (648 games).
