Excellent and efficient service provided by Ross Motors. Previously I had always used a Toyota garage but following their move from the area decided to look elsewhere. I used www.whocanfixmycar.com who offered me a number of garages who could undertake a service and MOT for my 13 year old diesel car. I am very pleased I chose Ross Motors. Gavin was very efficient in booking me in and kept me informed when some extra work was inevitably required - rear brake discs and pads. I did not feel, as I have elsewhere, that problems were being sought. The job was done quickly, efficiently and for a good price. I will definitely be using Ross Motors again. Mark Hewitt
Great service!!! Will be going back next time
Definitely recommend Ross motors! great value fast service and above all honest! You should use this garage for sure!
Good price and very helpful and professional.
Job finished on time for the agreed sum. Excellent customer service and value for money, I will definitely be back in the future and recommend Ross Motors to my friends and family.
A £66 estimate ended up in £400 pounds just for fixing the hand brakes. They don't have the tools to test hand brake for 4x4, so shouldn't have taken this job. First we changed one cable, then all the cables, then all the pads. After each fix, the car had to be taken to another place for testing. Customer service was good and they got my MOT done for free,
All the staff were very friendly. A warm drink was provided whilst we waited. The cost was as quoted. Would definately use again.
Excellent service! Very professional and very good value for the service. I will certainly use them again soon for the MOT. Thanks
Done a good job, had no problems so far, very frendly staff, would definitely recommend.
Fantastic service and communication. It was a breeze to have my car repaired as it was collected, repaired and returned to me the same day. I would definitely recommend to anyone as the service is 5*.
I could say this is the first time I got it right with independent garage. My experience with previous garages has been bitter pills that scare me to swallow. The is a garage that hasn't caused me another damage while fixing one. I surely will recommend them to anyone.
These guys were amazing with the repair. good price, did a good job. very nice ;) would recomend to anyone ;D.
There was a significant delay for my MOT, but the customer service was great. The staff were friendly and complimentary coffees were offered during the wait. I suspect the delay was a one-off problem that hadn't been encountered previously. I would do business with MC Autos again in the future.
Very good garage. Quick to turn around the labour required to solve the problem with my golf's door. Very professional outfit. Would use again.
Yes prompt service and reasonably priced.
Terrible service. Scammers never did the work. They just polished my old parts and pit them back on.
Executive Motor Service was quick, reliable and cheap and very friendly team. Took my car in on the Thursday afternoon and the job was done by 12 pm Saturday afternoon. Looks brand new and no extra cost definitely recommend these guys Darren C
I was really impressed with the service I received. Had been meaning to repair bodywork on my outlander but never had time to get it done during term time as the car was needed for school run. Carl and his team did an excellent job. Looks like new. Only came over budget because I asked him to do more than what I quoted for originally. Professional and trustworthy. Would definitely recommend.
Initally Carl seemed very helpful, however due my experience with this garage i am giving a negative review. I put in a quote and this garage was the first to respond. I then realised i needed extra work done to the car. I called the garage and spoke to a guy called Carl. He was very helpful and advised that he could carry out the additional work too at a good price. He also sounded very knowledgeable with my type of car which was also good. In the telephone converstation with Carl i asked if he was open the next day which was on Sunday. He advised he wasnt however would text me over his number and garage details to arrange a time he could open the garage so i could drop my car off. I the replied to Carl advising that i would drop the car off at 1pm. I never got a reply. I then sent another message to Carl advising when i can drop my car and still no reply. He agreed to carry out the work and then stopped all communication with me and still to this day has not contacted me. This delayed me getting my car fixed and is extremely unprofessional. If he didnt want to carry out the work he should of said at the time rather then lead me on. I would not recommend this garage and would avoid at all costs. If they cant get his communication right i would not trust this garage with my car.
Excellent service - Highly recommend!!!!
Moses did a fantastic job on the car. Great level of service, and thoroughly nice guy. Would definitely use again and recommend to all.
Good work, great service in good price. Happy to discover this quality local garage.
Incredible work, quick and great job too. Made me feel very comfortable and will be taking it back to fix some small scratches in the future.
Had dent in front panel fixed in Volkswagen Up and delighted with the results. Done on time and with very friendly service, as well as being a good price.
Done my car really good work would recommend
Great job, exactly as described. Would happily use Bodyteq again.
couldn`t find the problem
the quote was £75 incl VAT but that was not the case
Thanks Jason. Would probably use again.

Item: Yellow Oversize Top, $9.95, H&M
Look 1: Very Casual. Wearing this top with jean shorts is a no-brainer. Just add gladiator sandals, a spring-like tote and wood accessories. Toss a brown leather jacket over the top for the cooler spring nights.
Look 2: Dinner. Going to dinner? Wear this top with black skinny jeans and bright coral shoes. Add a lightweight scarf in a solid color to keep the focus on the shirt. Pretty accessories complete the look.
Look 3: Party. Wear this skirt over a bold, body-conscious skirt for a night out. Sheer black tights and fun wedges add sophistication to the outfit.

2009-10 Oilers Goats and Stars
September 30 2009 12:30PM
It's become a tradition: every year at OilersNation (and at our sister sites FlamesNation and CanucksArmy), our writers and commenters pick their stars — that one player who they will praise without end no matter what — and their goats — their yearly whipping-boy; he who can do no good for the season.
And this season is no exception.
Your stalwart writers running the ship this year, Robin Brownlee, Jason Gregor, Jonathan Willis, Amber McCormick, bingofuel, and Wanye Gretz (who has already picked his star and his goat), have submitted their goats and stars for the 2009-10 Oilers hockey season. Who will you pick?
Jonathan Willis' Star and Goat
Star: Lubomir Visnovsky.
Visnovsky was Edmonton's best defenseman last year whn healthy, and he's the kind of player Pat Quinn loves. If the powerplay turns around, Visnovsky will be a big part of it; if the team manages to score more goals five-on-five, Visnovsky will be a part of that too. He was a star last season, and with good health should be more than that.
Goat: Nikolai Khabibulin.
I hope this prediction doesn't come true. I really, really do. There's just too many danger signs to pick someone else, though. He's 36 years old. He's been consistently injured pretty much every season since the lockout. Last time he signed a four-year contract, he stunk up the joint for the first two years, was mediocre in the third year, and came on strong in the fourth year - after management had gone out and spent money on a replacement.
Maybe things will be different this time. For the team to have success, they'll need to be.
Jason Gregor's Star and Goat
Star: JF Jacques
Sure, I could have picked one of the smurf-like forwards, who will undoubtedly outscore Jacques, but they are supposed to do that. Jacques will play in 71 games this year, and that will guarantee the Oilers will dress four forwards who are six feet or taller every game. Regardless of what system they play, they aren't big enough upfront and having Jacques contribute every night will make a difference. He will be one of the few Oiler forwards to set career highs in goals, assists and points this year. I can't see many guys matching that, so how can Jacques not be a star.
Goat: Marc Pouliot
If he is on the team, then I can't see the Oilers improving. He doesn't hit, he doesn't check, he doesn't score and I don't think he thinks the game well enough to help the Oilers. Sure, he might go to another organization and score nine goals, which will have some Poulioholics whining that the Oilers gave up on another young prospect, but I will say good riddance if it happens. If Pouliot is on this team, they aren't good enough.
Robin Brownlee's Star and Goat
Star: Mike Comrie
While it's a toss-up for me between Comrie and Patrick O'Sullivan, I'm going with MC because he's got a way of shoving it up the backsides of people who doubt him.
With all the bittnerness that accompanied Comrie's departure in 2003, he's got something to prove this time around. While I'm guessing he'll face a smattering of boos when he returns, fans being what they are, it won't be long until they're saluting him again -- with more than one finger.
Goat: Nikolai Khabibulin
Just a hunch, but The Bulin Wall had more bad seasons than good during his last contract before signing on with the Oilers for the next 17 years. Khabibulin, 36, is on the downside of his career and if he slips and a breaks a hip, it could get ugly in a hurry. With JDD as the back-up plan, what could possibly go wrong?
Amber McCormick's Star and Goat
Star: Ales Hemsky
Ales Hemsky. Over the past couple seasons he has surprised me. In 2006-07 I was always worried he was going to vomit going in circles around the net. Every season he takes more chances. Some work and some don't but the hunger is there. I really think this is the season that will make him a star.
Goat: Dustin Penner
Without a doubt, Dustin Penner will reside in my dog house (and no, that's no a euphemism for anything). There was a time when I forgave him for everything due to his purdy eyes but those days are far behind me. It will take a miracle and him giving up donairs cold-turkey to make me care about him again.
*Sidebar* I hate to admit this but I have a feeling Mike Comrie is hell-bent on making Edmonton eat its words. A lot of time has passed since he left in his huff and now he's back with the Duff. Hometown pride is a powerful thing no matter how much you're booed.
bingofuel's Star and Goat
Star: Nikolai Khabibulin
Knowing what little I do about hockey, and the scant few things I know about the Oilers, I'm going with the Bulin Wall for my star. The Oilers are well known for relying on very little other than their goaltender to scrape through games. I don't expect this year will be any different. Also, I just want to see how many boos and hisses I get for this one.
Goat: Steve Staios
I like Steve Staios. I have nothing against the man personally. He has lots of heart. But old, old balls. Staios will be inconsistent at best this year. At worst, the poor man will bust a hip. Hopefully he'll take a few opposing players out in the process.

Star: Much as I hate the man, Comrie. Goat: Moreau, Nilsson, Stortini … Really surprised at only one person mentioning Nilsson for goat, actually. Looking for good seasons from Hemsky, Penner and Horc too.
Bobby's pretty high up there for me actually, but I would say Poo comes first. Even if it is few and far between when Nilsson shows up, he's better than Poo on any given day.

@ Robin Brownlee: So did Stauffer ever pay up on that Brodziak bet? What was it again - for every game brodziak played Bob owed you...
September 30 2009, 01:38PM
Star - Horcoff, earns every penny of his contract. Leads NHL in faceoff win percentage. Goat - Pouliot, doesnt make the 20 game mark, Reddox replaces him by then.
Star: Comrie - shoots the lights out and signs somewhere else for $4 million a season next year.
Goat: Staios - proves older and slower than the was last year (which was pretty damn old and slow).
September 30 2009, 01:44PM
Goat is Hemsky and the star will be whoever he trade for him in December when Quinn realizes that Hemsky is more concerned about how he is utilized then how the team is doing.

I get the feeling Nilsson won't be around for long enough to earn any type of goat status. He's already starting the season on the outside looking in. Hard to be the goat when you're on the bench.
September 30 2009, 01:47PM

Nilsson still plays here... I mean... I didn't pick Nilsson because I figure his stay is short. Lets just assume everyone has Nilsson for GOAT if he's still here.

September 30 2009, 02:07PM
Star = Cogliano Goat = Penner
September 30 2009, 02:09PM
Star = O'Sullivan
Goat = I'd like to say Tambellini for not addressing the needs of the team but if I have to pick a player I will say JFJ. You can say there are low expectations and we just want him to add some size but if he's being given primo icetime (as it looks like he will) he better produce a bit too.

While I don't think I'd support a Hemsky trade, it's fun to think about who might be on the table if we start shopping him.
I'm just trying to think back to all of the comments that fit this format:
"The only way ______ (team) is trading _______ (player) is if Hemsky's on the table"
Trade Hemsky and the team is officially AHL material. If that's what management wants then go ahead. I'd rather fire the coach... Too soon??

HHHM: Steve Staios

Off topic but tsn has reported that Sergei Kostitsyn has requested a trade from Montreal. Oiler trade Nilson or Pouliot for him? His contract is cheap and he is the same type of player as Nilson and alot more grittier than both Nil and MAP.

What chakra type are you?
I'm still trying to work out why madara was Edo'd looking young again.
One possibility I have come up with: Nagato also has some type of jutsu that restores/rejuvenates organisms in proportion to how much chakra is used for the jutsu. We know Tsunade has that jutsu that helps her look young, and that the Uzumaki's in general are capable of high powered sealing jutsus. We've also witnessed Huugo return back to a youth-like state after he regenerated himself from suffering that blow from the Raikage. All jutsus/techniques in the shinobi world were made possible through the Rikudou's teachings of ninjutsu, so being that shinobi are in the first place capable of such feats should also mean that a shinobi that is capable of wielding the Rinnegan is capable of performing all things under the sun in terms of what is possible in the shinobi world.
This technique may be an Uzumaki sealing jutsu, or more simply, might be well within the capabilities of Rinnei Tensei ( http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Outer_P...Life_Technique ) . Nagato could have used enough chakra to pump enough life force into the aging Madara to make him young again. Also, based on Naruto Chapter 449, it seems as though time does not govern the use of this Rinnegan technique but rather Chakra does, so Nagato would have had no problem reviving Madara "years" after his death.
I think Tobi really is explaining to us his existence in these panels. The Rikudou's line split into the Uchiha and the Senju, with the Uchiha an affinity for Yin-release, and Senju an affinity for Yang-release. These are the two necessary ingredients in using Izanagi and how the tailed beasts came into existence (they were split into 9 different chakra masses from the same source using Yin energy, and by using Yang energy they gained life, or the ability to act on their own), and during the fight with Hashirama, Madara was able to steal the first's DNA, or literally a source for the first's "Yang energies". Madara could have used the eight trigrams seal to split his Yin and Yang energies, used the Yin energy of the original Madara to create a container (tobi), then used Hashirama's Yang-energy to give the container life. Then, with the remaining yang energy Nagato restored Madara to his youth and used Human Path to devour him only to be revived again by Nagato later. This might also be how Tobi is capable of using both Sharingan and Rinnegan without any real difficulty.
Izanagi might be the key after all, not the watered down Uchiha version, but a Rinnegan Izanagi.
Jugo turned young because he regenerated Sasuke not himself. And the only reason he could was because he already knew that Sasuke was viable due to him being able to use the curse mark. And it was during the fight with Killer Bee. Then he grew older again when absorbing a Samurai after the fight with the Fourth Raikage.
The reason Madara look so young is because he have Hashirama's cells, and that enables him to live a long life. What Tsunade does only makes her look young, and she needs to keep it active at all time, when she heals everyone during the Pain invasion she looses it's since she needs the chakra to heal. I highly doubt Madara would redo this as he came out of the coffin, and Madara is most likely as young in the body he looks, unlike Tsunade which does actually look younger than her body are.
Like Senju Uzumaki's are blessed with a long life, even longer than Senju, or so it would seem. But Madara isn't Uzumaki, so I don't see what this got to do with him, and if you think of Nagato in terms of having something to do with it he didn't know/talk to the real Madara, only Tobi, at least not after or during his training with Jiraiya, and most then have met him before that.

What chakra type are you?
Lunchroomclassic, What I am trying to say is that there are 2 different Izanagis.
1) First type performed by SO6P requires the Rinnegan, and YES it can create Two seperate Madaras.
2) Second type, performed by Danzo and Tobi, requires sacrifice of a Sharingan (if you are Uchiha), or for a non Uchiha it requires a stolen Sharingan plus Senju stamina. It cannot create 2 Madaras. It can only change the apparent fate/death of a User into a dream, so that the User continues to survive with his SAME body.
So what I am saying is that Even if Madara had used Izanagi when he fought the First Hokage, it would not have resulted in Splitting into 2 bodies, this method therefore could not have been how Tobi was created.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Paul you're still hung up on the Muu splitting frames which I explicitly said to FORGET and IGNORE. Using the term splitting was a mistake given how close we are to that chapter, so I forgive you.
When I say split, I mean SOUL-SPLIT, not physical splitting. If his soul were split, edo tensei would revive him at the point of his "death", or when he split. Which is why edo him looks so damn young.
First let me assure you that I like the innovative way you've looked at the Madara question, let me also say that I would not have responded if I hadn't thought it challenging and thoughtful.
However jd, my inquisitive mind just can't see how Izanagi had anything to do with it.
If Madara wanted to split his soul and imbue half into one of his eyes, he could do so anytime. Then pluck out the eye and step on it squishing it would have killed that half.
The problem I have had is that introducing Izanagi, Misrepresented what Sharingan style Izanagi does. In your theory, there was a dead body?near dead body left on the battlefield. As I had pointed out, in Danzo's example, the body that "died" while using Izanagi ceased to exist. Another problem is we still have no explanation for Zetsu-like Tobidara, and we also have no explanation for knowledge about Nagato by the newly Edo-Tensei'ed Madara.
I do hope I am not somehow misunderstanding your points, but frankly I think I should let up, since I've made my point. Afterall, this for fun, isn't it?

Paul, I've worked on this theory a little more since the latest chapter. You might call this an inception theory, because it's a theory inside of a theory. Hang on for the ride.
Here goes:
We learned of ONE, VERY IMPORTANT person using a splitting technique. The sage of the six paths.
What? He didn't split Jd, you're mad!
I believe he did split. I believe he split into.. *drumroll*
Uchiha and Senju. How else would you have two "Descendants of the sage of the six paths" with two completely different (but complimentary) abilities?
The so6p used izanagi on his deathbed to split his very essence of yin/yang chakra into two humans, aka, the two brothers.
This explains why Hashirama and (naurto's kyuubi mode) are very light based. And why the uchiha powers (going blind, black flames, etc) are all darkness based.
Perhaps the sage feared someone would take his eyes upon his death to become the next so6p, and thus split himself to prevent that from ever happening.
Another thing to note is that the so6p is very key to this manga. Interesting to note that both sasuke and naruto's powers are progressing towards the sage himself. Which again, reinforces my theory that the uchiha and senju were not literal "sexual children" descendants but rather "chakra" descendants of the so6p. Literally, "Of him."
Madara using Izanagi is now more likely than ever at the valley of the end, since he has Rinnegan - he wouldn't go blind.
I'm sorry if this is all cluster-fcked, my mind is going a million miles a minute and I completely forgot the original reason I came here paul!
That was to tell you, that Madara split himself just like the sage did!!!! The sage used Izanagi to create Uchiha and Senju. Madara split himself to create Tobi and maybe zetsu? Or, maybe just zetsu and tobi is a pawn of zetsu? I feel like zetsu has more importance than we're letting on here. Anyway, regardless that's what I believe happened. Firstly, sage splits forming the god-fathers of the two clans. Secondly, Madara splits himself because his mortal body was fatally wounded beyond repair and doing so would give him a shot at being resurrected.
And blah blah blah, shell of a former self makes even more sense now. I hope my 1am rant wasn't too chaotic. Perhaps I will re-edit this tomorrow. Thanks for your considerations!
PS. Paul, this is totally just for fun and I enjoy reading ALL your comments here and am honored you take the time to banter with me.
Also worthy to note that Tobi states, "I am two of the six paths in one person!" And then tells dead nagato that he is "The third path."
Obviously not simply "Owning" the Rinnegan gives you the power of the so6p. There must be something Madara is missing, else, he would technically quantify as the so6p for simply having rinnegan power. Same goes for Nagato. We're missing a huge piece of the puzzle here. And I believe those pieces are Tobi, Nagato, and the other 3 paths that Tobi has yet to mention. Clearly to be all 6 paths in one person requires combination of uchiha and senju (dna). We've been assuming DNA because we are assuming Uchiha and Senju are sexual children of the sage. If my theory is correct and they are not, it would be the uchiha and senju chakra that are required for so6p powers. Uchiha Madara may have unlocked the rinnegan, but he is not/was not the so6p... yet.
Had an "Aha!" moment. Madara assumed because he took Hashirama's DNA that he can "merge" with him and become the next so6p. However, if my theory is correct, this is where Madara was wrong. Madara needed to merge chakras with the senju, not just their DNA. I believe he KNOWS THIS TO BE TRUE, and thus started this whole series of events in motion to be resurrected with both uchiha and senju chakra thus making him the so6p reborn.
Edit: Or perhaps not reborn as the so6p right away, but rather the Vessel to become the so6p. I believe he may have to merge with the 6 paths to become the "sage" of the six paths through some ritual.
Second Edit after some sleep: Perhaps Madara did not split himself, but rather, created 6 "paths" like pain did, to use the powers of the so6p. Tobi is 2 paths in one, Nagato was the 3rd path, plus 3 others. Madara could have then used his god-path to have his soul sucked out and stored for later resurrection. Similar to kabuto's plan to do it to Bee and Naruto to obtain their biijuu. Perhaps, and this sounds crazy, but perhaps Tobi always had a rinnegan eye behind his mask because he was a path of Madara. IE, how all of pain's paths had Rinnegan too, we all thought that was mysterious, remember? Well, Nagato, a path of madara, had rinnegan too. I will need to pay close attention to see who else has the rinnegan, but don't be surprised if we learn zetsu has them too and is paths 4 and 5. Perhaps creating living paths was too much of a strain for madara and he died? Perhaps he only got to creating 3/6 of the paths before his demise. Pay close attention in the next dozen or so chapters to see who else has the rinnegan.

Agreed with a lot of things in the OP about Madara Tobi splitting. Some of the stuff since has been a bit radical.
Also Itachi's "He is Madara Uchiha, and a shadow of his former self" would make a lot of sense.
Itachi new about Madara tobi more or less I believe. Or at least knew something was up with Madara/Tobi.

come fight my brute here
The recent chapter(515) shows a cool picture naruto using his cloak to form rasengans. The thing that caught my eye was the fact he didn't need his hands to make the rasengans or it looked like that anyway. It technically wasn't part of the plot section of the manga but interesting none the less.
Back to the point for naruto or anyone for that matter to make rasengan around his body he would need to be able to make a rasengan without his hands which could be implied in this picture.
Not exactly evidence but worth a thought.
After I just saw the new chapter, this came mind. I hope this comes next. It would be so epic.
@ OP: How do you expect the rasengan to tank attacks especially without losing it's shape?
So far rasengan users ram a rasengan into the target or target's technique, the target gets repeled backwards, massive damage etc..
But if the opposite happened and the target or a target's technique rams into the rasengan? I would imagine the target would also get repelled away also
your forgetting that inside the rasengan the charka is twisting around. if you where inside a rasengan your would be ripped apart

This post by @Hatake Kakashi seems to have been forgotten/ignored or what ever. If he can only do it while wearing some sort of cloak then he won't need it, maybe in Sage mode, but he already can take pretty much damage, and it's safe to assume that it would take allot of chakra to do something like that.

Virgin Blue To Launch Intra WA Services04/08/2004
Low Fare Flights Take Off Between Perth And Broome
Virgin Blue has announced it will begin direct intra WA services with a brand new flight between Perth and Broome from 7 September 2004.
The low fare carrier already operates to both destinations from other ports but it will be the first time Virgin Blue will fly direct services within Western Australia.
The decision was made following intense lobbying by the WA community for an affordable option between the two key WA destinations as well as for more service to Broome from the east coast of Australia.
Virgin Blue has re-jigged its schedule to free up an aircraft to initially allow for three flights a week to judge support for the route. The carrier will monitor the route's progress with a view to increasing the number of flights if there is sufficient demand.
The flights will operate on a Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday offering a convenient late afternoon departure from Perth with an early evening return, allowing travellers to make the most of their time in this WA holiday haven.
Virgin Blue spokesperson Amanda Bolger said, "The people of WA have really gone into bat for us from the first day we began flights to the west coast almost three years ago and that loyalty has been unwavering. We have always said we will back the regions that back us and these additional new services are a direct result of support and demand from the people of Western Australia."
The low fare airline will continue its tradition of offering a special "wow" launch fare offer of $149* one-way on the net, on sale from now until 8 August for travel between 7 September and 30 September 2004. Everyday low fares will start from $199* one-way on the net, 23% cheaper than the competition.
Amanda Bolger continued, "For the people of Perth, this gives yet another fantastic direct Virgin Blue flight option to one of Australia's key tourism destinations right in their own backyard. For those lucky enough to be based in Broome, it offers an affordable and convenient direct Virgin Blue flight to the state capital to do some business or to visit family and friends."
Connections to Broome will also be available from Brisbane, Gold Coast, Hobart, Launceston, Melbourne and Sydney via Perth to compliment connections already available on Saturdays via Virgin Blue's direct Adelaide-Broome flight.
The first Perth-Broome flight will launch one week after Virgin Blue's fourth birthday celebrations, marking four years since the airline first took to Australian skies.
* All fares are for flights booked on the Internet. $10 more by phone. The $149 launch fare offer is on sale from today until 8 August 2004 for travel from 7 to 30 September 2004. Fares are subject to availability and may not be available on all flights or peak days.
For Virgin Blue bookings, log onto www.virginblue.com.au, phone our award winning Guest Contact Centre on 13 6789 or call a travel agent.

Pepperberry launched in March 2011, selling a range of clothes designed with boobs in mind. At Pepperberry we know there is something to be said about how clothes can make you feel. We believe that there should be no compromise when it comes to the styles you love and really want! If you love it, then you should be able to buy it – getting it to fit over your boobs and actually go in at the waist should be no issue whatsoever.
Pepperberry was born out of the Bravissimo clothing range; huge customer demand and ever increasing requests for new products, combined with a desire to offer more stylish clothes led to the decision to launch Pepperberry as a stand-alone clothing retailer offering workwear, occasionwear, casual and smart-casual styles.
Pepperberry clothes are available in sizes 8 to 18 with three curvy options to choose from depending how much extra room you need to fit your boobs in; Curvy, Really Curvy and Super Curvy. The smallest Curvy size is for women who rarely have a problem finding clothes to fit their boobs on the high street. The Really Curvy and Super Curvy sizes mean that women with bigger boobs, who struggle to fit their boobs into standard high street sizes, can also wear the styles they want to at Pepperberry, without compromising the fit on their waist and hips.

Welcome to Scholastic Booktalks where we recommend brand new Scholastic books that we think you will love. Today's booktalk is: The Loser List by Holly Kowitt.
Writing and drawing comics is Danny Shine's favorite activity. When he's bored in class, he draws all sorts of things like vomit, skulls and his classmates' faces. And what is Danny's second favorite activity? Why, buying and reading comic books, of course! Life is pretty good for Danny, until he finds out that he's been put on the Loser List.
Chantal Davis, the school diva, has declared Danny and his best friend, Jasper, "losers." While Danny is upset about this title, Jasper is totally fine with it. But Jasper occasionally wears a cape to school, so maybe there is some truth to it. . .
Danny decides that he has to immediately remove his and Jasper's names from the list. After all, his crush, Asia O'Neill, can't see his name on the list because then she'll never go out with him! But there is one small problem. The list is located in the girls' bathroom!
Danny sneaks in anyway to remove their names, but he's caught by a teacher and sentenced to one week in detention. Detention wouldn't be so bad if he could just sit in silence and draw comics. But unfortunately, he's stuck in detention with the school bully, Axl. As long as Danny stays on Axl's good side, he should be able to survive detention, right?
Join Danny and Jasper as they try to remove themselves from The Loser List!

Michael Lewis, Portable Antiquities Scheme, British Museum
Today, we launched the latest Portable Antiquities and Treasure Annual Report at the British Museum, with the help of Ed Vaizey, Minister for culture, communications and creative industries.
The report outlines the thousands of archaeological objects discovered and reported by members of the public through the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) in 2008 and to mark the occasion we had some of the more important or interesting finds on show.
Among them was a Late Iron Age coin hoard of 840 gold staters from the Wickham Market area in Suffolk, dating to about AD 15-20. The coins were discovered in March 2008; and more were later found during an excavation of the findspot by Suffolk County Council's Archaeology Service. It's the largest hoard of Iron Age gold coins discovered since a similar hoard – the Whaddon Chase Hoard (Buckinghamshire) – was unearthed in 1849.
Unfortunately the Whaddon Chase Hoard was partially dispersed following its discovery, making it difficult to estimate the number of coins found. It is hoped that Colchester and Ipswich Museums will be able to raise the funds to acquire it, which is currently on display in Room 41 at the British Museum.
Another intriguing find is a Roman knife handle from Syston, Lincolnshire. Its precise date in unknown. It was found by a man named David Barker and depicts an erotic scene involving two males and a female, and a decapitated head.
Only a handful of erotic knife handles are known from Britain, and this is of a new type. The significance of the decapitated head is unclear. The find has been acquired by The Collection, Lincoln.
On 7 August 2008 Darren Hoyle found a Medieval gold locket in Rolleston, Nottinghamshire, which dates to about AD 1450-1500. It has an inscription, which reads cauns [sauns] repentir (without regret), which may have been an amatory phrase. It is closely comparable to a similar object found as part of the Fishpool Hoard (also from Nottinghamshire), in 1966, which is on display in the British Museum.
The Fishpool Hoard is thought to have been deposited in May 1464, during the Wars of the Roses, and it is possible the Rolleston and Fishpool lockets were made by the same workshop. The Rolleston locket has been acquired by the British Museum.
The PAS was established in 1997 to record archaeological objects found by the public, to coincide with the passing of the Treasure Act 1996, under which finders have a legal obligation to report precious Treasure finds. The British Museum now manages the PAS and administers the Treasure Act.
Since 1997 there has been a significant increase in the reporting of both Treasure and non-Treasure finds. In 2010, 90,146 archaeological objects were recorded through the PAS – a 36% increase on 2009 – and 859 Treasure cases, up 10%. These finds, are important clues for understanding the past, telling us where and how people lived, and what they did. They also offer a tangible link with everyday people, often ignored in written sources.
The finds recorded are of many different types, including flints worked into tools, coins and tokens, pottery, copper-alloy dress accessories (brooches, pins, buckles etc), as well as high-status gold and silver objects. Some are complete, but many are incomplete, broken and/or worn. Even so all have archaeological value.
Most importantly, all finds recorded with the PAS have good findspot information. Archaeologists need to know exactly where a find was found to fully unleash its archaeological potential.
Without a findspot, the most spectacular discovery has almost no archaeological value. Conversely, if the findspot is known then it is possible to compare an object with others of that type, to see if there are distribution patterns, or learn more about the area where the find was discovered. Indeed, some common finds can be rare for a particular place, and therefore the findspot is of crucial importance.
A majority of the finds recorded by the PAS or reported Treasure have been found by members of the public; in fact the PAS only records object found by the public, though archaeologists too have a legal obligation to report Treasure.
Most archaeological finds nowadays are found by metal-detectorists, but now and again someone out walking or digging in their garden will make a chance discovery, and should take it to their local museum so it can be recorded with the PAS.
Now the funding of the PAS has been secured for the next four years there is great potential for the Scheme to further advance our knowledge of the past. Over the past few years there have been some amazing finds – such as the Staffordshire Hoard and Frome Hoard – and it is almost certain others will be found before long. But only if the finds are properly recovered and recorded will they have the potential to change the archaeological map of the country…

Data Curation Program Development in U.S. Universities: The Georgia Institute of Technology Example
2009, Vol. 4, No. 3, pp. 83-92
The curation of scientific research data at U.S. universities is a story of enterprising individuals and of incremental progress. A small number of libraries and data centers who see the possibilities of becoming "digital information management centers" are taking entrepreneurial steps to extend beyond their traditional information assets and include managing scientific and scholarly research data. The Georgia Institute of Technology (GT) has had a similar development path toward a data curation program based in its library. This paper will articulate GT's program development, which the author offers as an experience common in U.S. universities. The main characteristic is a program devoid of top-level mandates and incentives, but rich with independent, "bottom-up" action. The paper will address program antecedents and context, inter-institutional partnerships that advance the library's curation program, library organizational developments, partnerships with campus research communities, and a proposed model for curation program development. It concludes that despite the clear need for data curation put forth by researchers such as the groups of neuroscientists and bioscientists referenced in this paper, the university experience examined suggests that gathering resources for developing data curation programs at the institutional level is proving to be a quite onerous. However, and in spite of the challenges, some U.S. research universities are beginning to establish perceptible data curation programs.

With the Yankees aging and ailing and the Red Sox still down, the division is up for grabs. The Blue Jays spied a window and threw it open.
The scouts love: Clay Buchholz and Jon Lester. They look sharp after a down year. If they pitch well, the Red Sox can be respectable again. Kevin Gausman. Dylan Bundy will be a star, but Gausman is the Orioles pitching prospect closest to ready. Love his live fastball. Brian Roberts. Looks a lot like his pre-injury self. What a boost he could be for the Orioles. Mariano Rivera. Does he really want to retire? He's as sharp as ever. And don't sleep on the Yankees pitching in general.
The scouts cringe at: Tampa Bay's offense. Per usual. Even if it's better, there's still not much reason to pitch to Evan Longoria. Ricky Romero. The Blue Jays lefty hasn't shown much sign yet he can handle increased expectations. Yankees catchers. Their weakest position, easily. Dustin Pedroia. Not that there's anything wrong with the Red Sox second baseman. But there's too many iffy spots in their offense and Pedroia may try to do too much.
Based on interviews by Paul White with scouts who requested anonymity for competitive purposes.
MORE: Spring training team reports
Teams listed in order of predicted finish
Why they're enthused: The offseason additions have sent a message to the players that the Blue Jays are serious about contending. Their lineup, with newcomers Jose Reyes and Emilio Bonifacio at the top, has table-setters who can help manufacture runs, as well as big boppers like Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion. And the rotation has gotten a major boost from the acquisition of Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey, Josh Johnson and Mark Buehrle. This is a team ready to return to the postseason for the first time since 1993.
Why they're worried: Erstwhile ace Ricky Romero had the worst ERA (5.77) of any qualifying starter in the majors last season, and he hasn't looked much better in the spring. Dickey was a career journeyman until his magical season in 2012 and there's no certainty the 38-year-old knuckleballer will perform at that level again. Closer candidates Casey Janssen and Sergio Santos are coming off surgery, and the rest of the bullpen is not totally settled.
Kid in play: Anthony Gose got an extended taste of the majors last year, playing all three outfield positions, batting just .223 but stealing 15 bases in 56 games. Gose, 22, who had a .366 on-base percentage at Class AAA Las Vegas, needs to cut down on his strikeouts and bide his time while the Blue Jays decide whether Colby Rasmus is the long-term answer in center.
Follow this guy: @JoeyBats19. Bautista tweets bilingually with a heavy focus on photographs.
The end game: A balanced lineup and strong rotation should end Toronto's two-decade-long wait for a playoff spot. In a balanced division where it's impossible to forecast the last-place team with any certainty, the Blue Jays should still rise above the rest.
Why they're enthused: The Rays led the majors with a 3.19 ERA last season and, after trading away James Shields and Wade Davis, still look primed to have a strong staff with the likes of Cy Young Award winner David Price, Jeremy Hellickson, Matt Moore and Alex Cobb. Offensive centerpiece Evan Longoria, who missed 88 games last season, is healthy again. Enigmatic shortstop Yunel Escobar could thrive in the Rays' loose environment, giving the club much-needed stability at the position.
Why they're worried: Losing your leading home run and RBI man (B.J. Upton) is no way to improve an offense that ranked 11th in the league in runs scored. James Loney, the projected starter at first base, has averaged nine home runs over the last three seasons. Closer Fernando Rodney threw more high-intensity innings in the WBC than most teams would like and may pay for it later.
Kid in play: Wil Myers showed a solid all-around game before being sent down in mid-March and will be the Rays' trump card if they need an offensive boost. Myers, acquired in an offseason trade with the Kansas City Royals, banged out the second-most home runs in the minors last season with 37. He should be making his major-league debut by June.
Follow this guy: @RaysJoeMaddon. One of the game's most innovative managers, Joe Maddon shares baseball insight and behind-the-scenes observations with his customary wit.
The end game: The Red Sox's David Ortiz says the Rays are "like moles, always making their move underground.'' With strong pitching as a constant, Tampa Bay will contend for a fourth playoff spot in six years.
Why they're enthused: Top starters Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz have been healthy and sharp in the spring, both with ERAs under 1.00. There has been considerably less drama this spring with new manager John Farrell than last year under Bobby Valentine. The bullpen has three pitchers with closing experience in newcomer Joel Hanrahan, Andrew Bailey and Alfredo Aceves.
Why they're worried: Designated hitter David Ortiz (sore heels) will start the season on the disabled list, leaving a big void in a lineup that is not as fearsome as in the past. It's hard to know what to expect from fifth starter John Lackey, who is coming back from Tommy John surgery. Free-agent acquisitions Shane Victorino and Mike Napoli are coming off down seasons. Will they bounce back under the Boston scrutiny?
Kid in play: Jackie Bradley Jr. has been the talk of camp with his hot bat (.444 batting average), speed and ability to make plays all over the field. A natural center fielder, Bradley, 22, has been playing left and could stick with the big club as it seeks to find some offense in Ortiz's absence.
Follow this guy: @middlebrooks. The Sox's young third baseman engages fans and teammates with equal aplomb.
The end game: It's safe to say the Red Sox will be better than last year, when they went 69-93 and finished last for the first time since 1992. How much better will depend on whether their pitching staff, which had the league's third-worst ERA in 2012 at 4.70, makes a dramatic turnaround. The early signs are encouraging.
Why they're enthused: Baltimore has an enviable core of position players in Adam Jones, Nick Markakis, Matt Wieters and Manny Machado, who were factors in last year's breakthrough season . Second baseman Brian Roberts, who missed most of the 2012 season with concussion-like symptoms, has swung the bat well and reported no problems. With a seemingly endless supply of powerful young arms, the Orioles could get a midseason lift from some of the talented young pitchers they'll have waiting in the minors.
Why they're worried: The likelihood of regression to the mean is extremely high for a club that went 29-9 in one-run games and 16-2 in extra innings last season, then didn't change the roster much . There's no ace-quality pitcher on the staff, so Jason Hammel will likely get the opening day start even though he would be a No. 3 on other teams. A number of players who had breakthrough seasons in 2012 – the likes of Chris Davis, Jim Johnson, Miguel Gonzalez and Pedro Strop – don't have much of a track record of sustained success.
Kid in play: Kevin Gausman, last June's fourth overall draft pick out of LSU, has had an impressive spring and may have positioned himself to get called up if one of the starters falters or gets hurt. Gausman has been throwing in the mid-90s with good secondary pitches.
Follow this guy: @SimplyAJ10. Jones is one of the league's most active tweeters and shares many of his meals with the hashtag #StayHungry.
The end game: It wasn't until the last week of 2012 that the Orioles went over the break-even mark in runs scored vs. allowed, and they finished at plus-seven. Even though some of their young players figure to improve, too many things would have to go right again for them to avoid coming back to the pack.
Why they're enthused: Second baseman Robinson Cano, entering his walk year, was a line-drive machine in the World Baseball Classic and looks set to have a huge season. The starting rotation is solid with veterans CC Sabathia, Hiroki Kuroda and Andy Pettitte followed by Phil Hughes and either Ivan Nova or David Phelps. Mariano Rivera is back.
Why they're worried: Where to start? Injuries to Curtis Granderson, Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez have decimated a once-potent lineup, and Derek Jeter's continuing recovery from a broken ankle has deprived them of their spiritual leader. The ownership's newfound frugality has made it more difficult to replace departing players and to make up for bad contracts. Pettitte, Kuroda, Jeter, Rivera and Ichiro Suzuki are all 38 or older.
Kid in play: At 28, Ronnier Mustelier hardly qualifies as a kid, but the rookie has played his way into the Yankees' plans with his bat and versatility. The Cuban defector joined the organization in 2011 and has hit at every level, including a .324 batting average in the Grapefruit League. Mustelier is not a polished fielder but can play third base and the outfield, which enhances his chances.
Follow this guy: @Joba_62. Reliever Joba Chamberlain's enthusiastic tweets suggest his excitable mound demeanor is no act.
The end game: It's hard to imagine the Yankees finishing last after they led the AL with 95 wins last season, but the combination of injuries, an aging roster and the improvement of their division rivals points in that direction. This is a team in need of fresh blood.

Two Weeks In Hell DVD
$14.99(Was $19.95)
In the Two Weeks in Hell DVD, you are given a pass into the intense training and testing that determines who will be allowed to become a Green Beret candidate. Over two weeks, the most insane, mind-twisting games are played, and physical limits are stretched beyond imagination to enable the watchers to select the right individuals. During the Green Beret DVD Two Weeks in Hell, you will see some of the most intelligent and creative individuals alive, and witness brutality of training like you have never before seen.
Two Weeks In Hell DVD features the U.S. Army Special Forces Green Berets, America's unconventional warfare specialists. Whereas the military's focus usually is on brute-force tactics, the Green Berets rely on creative, innovative, and stealthy tactics to destabilize an enemy from within. The Green Beret DVD Two Weeks in Hell shows that they are experts in guerrilla warfare, sabotage, and subversion. They live as the locals do, and they live by their wits. During the Special Forces DVD Two Weeks in Hell, you can see that time and again, their tenet on how to win wars proves true: "Humans are more important than hardware." have the right man, in the right place, with the right mix of special tactics and smart thinking. The results are devastating to the enemy. The Green Berets Training DVD Two Weeks in Hell makes you understand that a Green Beret candidate may THINK he's the right man for the job, but the Special Forces Assessment and Selection will find out. Over 14 days, a candidate's true character will be exposed. During the Two Weeks In Hell DVD you will see that the candidates come from all across America, from both the military and civilian lives. Most have no idea what they are really getting into. Sixty percent of the candidates will not last the two weeks and passing this test is just for the OPPORTUNITY to start real Green Beret training. In the Green Beret DVD, Special Forces Assessment and Selection has only one purpose: To find those candidates who have the physical and emotional ability to become Green Berets. Simply surviving the two-week interview will not get you in. The Special Forces DVD Two Weeks in Hell has you realizing that everything is a mind game, and everything is planned to see how the candidates make decisions under extreme stress and disorientation. The cadre "watchers" who are evaluating have seen it all, and they have years of experience in places most people have never heard of. The Green Berets Training DVD ingrains that letting the wrong candidate into this special family gets people killed. The right people can win wars or stop them before they start. This unique access special takes you deep inside the world of America's Green Berets. In a profession of order and regiment, this is the place for the unconventional and strong-willed. The problem is finding these characters is a virtually impossible process. To find the unconventional thinker, you need an unconventional system to do it. Welcome to SFAS. The Green Berets know exactly what they are looking for, and the SFAS cadre will twist the minds and destroy the bodies of those candidates who want the part. Everything at selection has a reason, but it's like no other selection process in the world. For those who try out, it's an avalanche of chaos, stress, and doubt and a massive dose of "What the hell did I get myself into and what the hell is going on??". The selection process is a brutal test designed to mentally and physically smash men down to their core. Only then will Special Forces know if they want to invest in what is left.
Buy the Two Weeks in Hell DVD, and go inside the machine that spends two weeks determining who may be considered for the specialized force that is the Green Berets.

The 50,000 objects in the textile collections fall into two main categories: raw fibers, yarns, and fabrics, and machines, tools, and other textile technology. Shawls, coverlets, samplers, laces, linens, synthetics, and other fabrics are part of the first group, along with the 400 quilts in the National Quilt Collection. Some of the Museum's most popular artifacts, such as the Star-Spangled Banner and the gowns of the first ladies, have an obvious textile connection.
The machinery and tools include spinning wheels, sewing machines, thimbles, needlework tools, looms, and an invention that changed the course of American agriculture and society. A model of Eli Whitney's cotton gin, made by the inventor in the early 1800s, shows the workings of a machine that helped make cotton plantations profitable in the South and encouraged the spread of slavery.

1950 - 1969 Dorothy Overall's Flour-Sack Bassinet Quilt
- Description
- This bassinet quilt with a framed center design is made of high-quality plain blue and white cotton feed sack fabrics. Dorothy Overall of Caldwell, Kansas, a contestant in many sewing events in the 1950s and 1960s, pieced and appliquéd this quilt on a Pfaff sewing machine she had won in a contest. In 1959 she won the National Cotton Bag Sewing Contest that included a vacation trip to Hollywood as part of the prize.
- According to Dorothy, cotton feed sack fabric was light enough for summer, almost as nice as percale and the colors didn't fade. Cotton sacks for flour, animal feed and other commodities were produced in many colors and prints. Flour and feed companies found that their sales were often influenced by the popularity of their sacks which were used for clothes and household items.

Spoiler!Okay, what were you really trying to accomplish there Jellal?
So So
Spoiler!Okay, what were you really trying to accomplish there Jellal?
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Yeah Jellal can move around like a comet but now hes just standing there getting it handed to him??? What happened to him.. But I am really surprised that Tartaros had some ridiculous bomb just handing around that they could give it to elfman to blow up all of FT. Something so much stronger than a satellite bomb that took the 10 saint mages to fire, crazy! Excited to see what Cana will do next week, she definitely knows something is up. And props to Erza that she can still think only about Mira's freedom in that situation, I know that she doesn't know Jellal's location but still only thinking about her companion is amazing. She is what a S class mage should be I think, shes the gold standard, not just a level of power but of dedication and will.
So Mira has the ability of demon take over, shes in a den full of demons, she is being turned into one or something. Im thinking she will have an internal battle with herself and her own power to control the demon influence being injected in her, shes going to come out of this like a monster! Can't wait.
A pie in the sky?
Mira might be turning into there Guild Leader? Wouldn't that be a twist. Jellal... even though he's badass, and trying to get them to join him... I still confused on why he doesn't use his magic or does he know that if he uses his magic he'll be found?
I think he could be found easier if he used his powers but I also think hes trying to show them he doesn't want to hurt them and just wants to be their ally or whatever. I feel like Jellal is one of the fastest characters in the series and could easily outrun the tartaros demons if he wanted to when they find him, he needs to hurry up and unleash the beast, finish off OS and make his way to FACE so he can put another seal on it for in case he dies. I bet he already knows he is the 3rd mage.
When is the master going to get involved? Also is the one torturing Erza the guild master for Tartaros? Or is she a boss and the real master has yet to be revealed? I doubt it is Zeref, it seems like they are doing whatever they want and not looking for him, or maybe someone else is controlling the demons and making them act. If face goes off then Zeref would be injured too no?
A pie in the sky?

In what now almost seems like a quaint era of pro football — it was 1983, when The Big Chill and big hair ruled the day — a rookie threesome of future superstar quarterbacks emerged. From a single draft class came three men who eventually formed a mini-Mount Rushmore of a new generation of passers. They were named Elway, Marino and Kelly.
This season, with startling precociousness and productivity, rookie quarterbacks Robert Griffin III, 22, of the Washington Redskins, Andrew Luck, 23, of the Indianapolis Colts and Russell Wilson, 24, of the Seattle Seahawks have carved their likenesses into the NFL. Whether further chiseling leads to football immortality remains to be seen, but thus far they have carved a granite-like impression.
"You're wondering, 'What's up?' Well, so am I," Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy, who coached the Jim Kelly-led Buffalo Bills to four Super Bowls, told USA TODAY Sports. "Certainly, watching RGIII and Andrew Luck (you think), 'Wow, they are something.'"
NFL: Week 16 picks for every game
The quarterback class of '83 is regarded as the finest to materialize from a single draft. It also included Todd Blackledge, Tony Eason and Ken O'Brien. Of course, it was Kelly, John Elway and Dan Marino who did the heavy lifting. They combined for 11 Super Bowl appearances (two victories, both by Elway); 22 Pro Bowls; two league MVP trophies; and three bronze busts in Canton, Ohio.
The class of '12 includes a record eight rookie signal-callers who have started and won at least one game. The upper crust has earned high marks when it comes to being a quick-study group because it has executed its lessons with aplomb. Rookie passing records are falling like snowflakes, including Luck's 433-yard effort vs. the Miami Dolphins last month.
Significantly, Luck, Griffin and Wilson have their teams on the verge of making the playoffs after dreadful 2011 seasons that produced a combined 14-34 record. If the trio advances in January — and the Colts (9-5), Redskins (8-6) and Seahawks (9-5) can clinch berths on Sunday — it would establish a record number of NFL teams featuring rookie starters at the position.
From '83, only Marino was able to propel the Dolphins into the playoffs. As a rookie, Elway completed 47.5% of his passes, including seven touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Kelly, drafted by the Bills, opted for the USFL and didn't join the NFL until 1986 at age 26.
The deep '12 class also is bolstered by the rapid emergence of quarterbacks Ryan Tannehill of the Dolphins, Brandon Weeden of the Cleveland Browns, Nick Foles of the Philadelphia Eagles — and, in a peculiar twist, Kirk Cousins of the Redskins. Last week, the rookie from Michigan State replaced an injured RGIII and threw for 329 yards and two touchdowns in a 38-21 victory against the Cleveland Browns.
"This is a very special class that you don't see very often," Wilson told USA TODAY Sports.
But Tannehill points out: "It's a little early to start those comparisons" with the class of '83.
Nevertheless, this group has shredded standards of excellence among rookie passers for combined victories (39), passing yardage (18,220), completions (1,531) and touchdown passes (92) by first-year NFL quarterbacks. In all likelihood, four of them will ascend the 3,000-yard passing-yards plateau with Luck (3,978) and Weeden (3,281) leading the way, followed by Tannehill (2,929), Griffin (2,902) and Wilson (2,697).
Luck needs only 74 yards Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs to set the single-season rookie record established by Cam Newton in 2011. If RGIII heaves two more touchdowns for a total of 20, he joins Wilson (21) and Luck (20) as the only rookie threesome to reach that milestone. Griffin, suffering from a knee injury, must first be cleared to play.
QUARTERBACKS: Will Tebow have starting spot in 2013?
Kelly told USA TODAY Sports that he loves watching the young guys play and admires their talent and poise. He whimsically added: "But they've been trying to compare us (with other rookie classes) for, what, almost 30 years?
"The way I look at it is this: Compare us when these guys have been in the league for 12 to 15 years — then you can say something about it," Kelly said. "For now, it looks good on paper (because) they've started out well."
The class of 1999 drew initially favorable comparisons to '83 draftees because it featured highly touted Tim Couch (Cleveland), Donovan McNabb (Philadelphia), Akili Smith (Cincinnati), Daunte Culpepper (Minnesota) and Cade McNown (Chicago) — all drafted in the first dozen picks. Couch, McNabb and Smith were chosen Nos. 1, 2 and 3.
Then, in 2004, "It was Ben (Roethlisberger), Eli (Manning), Philip (Rivers), plus (Matt Schaub and J.P. Losman)," Kelly said. Roethlisberger and Manning each have won two Super Bowl rings . Schaub was a Pro Bowl player in 2009; Losman is out of the league.
"Hold all of your opinions for (several) years and we'll see what happens," Kelly said.
When told of Kelly's thoughts, Griffin replied: "I understand what he's saying. I'm not going to go there. " Griffin added it's too early to be compared to the greats. Redskins coach Mike Shanahan agreed: "You can't compare them to anybody until they do it over time."
So, is this season's rookie class an anomaly — or a harbinger?
There is no doubt that the intense preparation required for potential greatness at the position has shifted — namely the "sun up-to-sundown training we are doing," Cousins said.
As a boy, Marino, who quarterbacked the Dolphins for 17 seasons, never attended a passer's camp. Luck did — and was tutored by the guy he eventually replaced: Peyton Manning.
Advancements and refinements in training and nutrition, and sustained year-round emphasis on skill-building techniques that include seven-on-seven passing camps in their formative years, enable this generation of quarterbacks to hit the ground passing and running.
By the time they reach the NFL, the best of them feel less overwhelmed due to being "mentally trained at a higher level because of what they were asked to do in college," where a greater premium is placed on decision-making at the line of scrimmage, said Blackledge, now an ESPN college analyst.
Quarterback tutorials commence earlier than that, too.
"I started teaching my nephew (Clemson quarterback Chad Kelly) in the seventh grade about three-, five- and seven-step drops, and how to read defenses," Kelly said. "We didn't become (seriously) prepared until we got to college ."
In Tannehill's last two years of high school football in Big Spring, Texas, he operated the Wing-T offense and averaged less than 10 passes per game. But his mother made sure he enrolled in a seven-on-seven summer league.
Many high school and college coaches now deploy spread offenses. Greater familiarity with defensive schemes breeds a heightened learning curve once quarterbacks reach the pros. Meanwhile, the NFL aerial attack has grown in popularity because of pass-friendly rule changes.
"The difference is," Marino, now a CBS analyst, told USA TODAY Sports, "I see kids now in pee-wee and high school and everyone's in the shotgun throwing the football all over the place."
"In college, if I threw it 30 times a game, that was a lot — they're throwing it 30 times a half."
RGIII: What did QB wear to earn fine?
Technology also helped. Today's head-set communication in the NFL is a major plus in smoothly relaying plays from the sideline to the signal-caller. Furthermore, greater parity exists between teams, giving developing quarterbacks more of a chance at survival during their early days.
"The big difference is they're really protecting the quarterback," said O'Brien, a two-time Pro Bowler who was drafted 24th overall by the New York Jets and played 11 seasons for three teams. "You used to get hit right and left. The (penalty) flags didn't come out like they do now."
Blackledge was drafted seventh overall by the Chiefs and played from 1983-89, finishing his career in Pittsburgh. He said that the evolutionary nature of the position leaves young quarterbacks better prepared for the NFL.
"When our '83 class came out, the quarterbacks of that era were more defined by their ability to be drop-back passers who stood tall in the pocket and had a big arm," Blackledge said. " The ability to be mobile and extend plays — and in some cases run the football — is much more coveted by the NFL (today). "
Luck has commandeered the Colts to the most victories of any rookie quarterback drafted No. 1 overall in the Super Bowl era. More impressive are his six game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime — most by any first-year signal-caller since at least 1970.
Meanwhile, with a glowing passer rating of 104.2, Griffin is ahead of pace to snap Roethlisberger's passer rating mark as a rookie (98.1).
While Luck and RGIII were the Nos. 1 and 2 overall draft choices last April, it is Wilson who has surprised the most. The third-round pick (75th overall) was a decorated player at Wisconsin, but his lack of size (5-11) was believed to be a deterrent.
But with a knack for scrambling improvisation, he has led the Seahawks to a perfect home record (6-0) posting 12 touchdowns, one interception and a 118.4 rating in those games.
"I've always believed that the separation is in the preparation," Wilson said. "It's the quest for knowledge."
"It's one of those anything-is-possible years," said Levy, an 87-year-old history buff with degrees from Coe College and Harvard. "I would guess you're not going to see it frequently. Or maybe not for a very long time."
