Myrtle girls, East Union boys win Union County XC championship
Youth have stepped up for this year's top county cross country teams. Competing in the Union County championships on Saturday at East Union, Myrtle girls and East Union boys took home top honors in the varsity races.
For the Lady Hawks, this was the best race of the year, by far, according to their coach, Chris Greer. Led by Kitana High, who was the overall top female runner with a time of 16:33, the Lady Hawks had seven runners finish in the top 15.
"I think this has to be the proudest I've ever been of them," Greer said. "This is the first year that my daughter has run varsity, but all seven of our runner stepped up."
"Kitana's a great runner. She had some nagging injuries at the beginning of the season, but right now she's doing great."
After High in first, Carolyne Greer finished fifth with a time of 18:30, followed by Genisha Howell in sixth. Samantha Shettles, Meagan Lowery, Ivory Montgomery and Laykin Dulaney all finished within the top 15 for Myrtle.
Finishing second overall was West Union's Savannah Shirley, followed by teammate Samantha Bridges. Ingomar's Sydney Roberts finished in fourth.
Greer credits his younger runners in motivating his team this season.
"We've had a lot of injuries, but our seventh graders have kept us motivated," he said. "Our older runners are getting better, and this is just a great team."
Also led by the younger runners, East Union's boys took top honors in the varsity boys race. Joey Pace was the team's top finisher at third overall, and teammates Zach Rowan and Jordan Salmon also finished in the top 10 for the Urchins.
"We have two of our seniors that are hurt, but we have some ninth graders that have stepped up and are running great," East Union coach Nathan McLellan said. "Zach Rowan, Jordan Salmon and Joey Pace are leading us right now. If it weren't for our ninth graders, we'd have our hands full."
Pace finished with a time of 19:15, while Ingomar's Tyler Warren was the top boys finisher at 18:10, followed by West Union's Hunter Jennings at 18:51.
"He's just a hard worker; does whatever I ask him to do," McLellan said of Pace.

By Ben Levisohn
China's industrial production and retail sales data confirms what many investors already know: The world's second largest economy is still growing at a slower pace than in recent years. Investors, however, might be getting used to it.
The Wall Street Journal sums up the data:
Data released on Monday showed that industrial output in April came in at 9.3% over a year ago—a tally that was better than the weak 8.9% reading in March but below expectations of 9.5%, according to economists polled by The Wall Street Journal…
…Retail sales were 12.8% higher than a year ago in April, accelerating from a 12.6% increase in March, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed Monday. But consumer reluctance to spend kept sales increases below the 15.2% mark recorded in December.
HSBC's Sun Junwei and Qu Hongbin explain its significance:
April's growth data confirmed that China's slow and fragile growth recovery continued into 2Q. The recovery of overall IP growth reflected a low base and two additional working days in this April compared with April 2012, while the pick-up of heavy industries activity reconfirms the investment-led nature of China's growth recovery as seen in recent months. However, the strength of April's IP recovery was soft given the persisting external headwinds, excess capacity and the unexpected moderation of investment growth. The good news however is that consumer demand remains resilient, which should partially offset the impact of reduced public spending brought about by Beijing's anti-extravagance drive.
Their conclusion: "Investment growth still holds the key to sustaining the growth recovery," Junwei and Hongbin say. "We expect Beijing to keep policy relatively accommodative to strengthen growth momentum and avoid a further deterioration of labour market conditions."
Not so fast, say Nomura's Zhiwei Zhang and Wendy Chen. They write:
We do not believe the activity data for April was bad enough to trigger policy easing. We continue to expect policy tightening on credit growth and April monetary data suggest that the tightening has already started. We maintain our view that real GDP growth will slow to 7.5% in Q2 and 7.3% in H2, due to policy tightening.
China's stock market sure isn't acting like it expects the soft-patch to continue, however. During the past four weeks of trading, the MSCI China Index has gained 5.7% in local currency, to the MSCI Emerging Market Index's 3.2%. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock Index has gained 2.8%.
U.S. investors have done even better. The iShares FTSE China 25 Index ETF (FXI) has gained 6.7% during the past 20 days of trading, while the iShares MSCI China Index ETF (MCHI) has gone up 6.5%. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) ticked up 4%.
The question now: Is the market predicting a turn in China's data or are investors getting set up for disappointment once again?

Film & Discussion: "Gaza-strophe - Palestine"
Join us for a film showing of "Gaza-strophe-Palestine" and discussion of the current U.S.-backed Israeli siege of Gaza. Learn how you can get involved in upcoming actions for Gaza.
Filmmakers Samir Abdallah & Khéridine Mabrouk entered Gaza on January 20, 2009, just after the ceasefire of the brutal Israeli invasion of Gaza nearly four years ago. The three-week-long land, sea and air assault on the Palestinian residents of Gaza resulted in 1,440 Palestinian deaths—including 926 civilians—and over 5,000 wounded and thousands of homes destroyed. Along with friends from a Palestinian Human Rights delegation, the filmmakers documented the stories of dozens of witnesses enabling them to understand the extent of the Palestinian nightmare.
Just as in 2008-9, the 2012 attack on Gaza immediately followed the U.S. presidential election. After getting the go-ahead from the Obama administration in a meeting at the White House on Nov. 12, Israel has launched another massive air assault against the Palestinian people in Gaza. Israeli troops have been assembled at the border and are poised to invade Gaza again.
In an act designed to provoke a wider war, missiles from Israel assassinated a top Hamas official and killed and wounded many others as its planes and warships struck targets all over Gaza in an ongoing assault. Reports of the bombardment of Gaza are continuing as bodies, including those of children, are being brought to the hospital and morgue.

2.3: Appropriate Measurement Tools
Remember the problem about Sasha from the last Concept? Have you ever tried to make a dress? Well, here is a second part of that problem.
Sasha has figured out that she needs to use meters to measure her dress. After a trip to the fabric store, she came home with two and a half meters of cloth and began to attach the pattern to the material that she bought. However, she began to have challenges when she realized that she would need to use a tool to measure. Sasha thinks she should use a meter stick, but she isn't sure.
This Concept is all about tools. By the end of it, you will know whether Sasha has made the correct choice or not.
Whether you are measuring the length of items using the customary system of measurement or the metric system of measurement, you will still have to decide which measurement tool is the best one to use.
What kinds of tools can we use to measure length? We have already talked about a couple of different tools. Let's look at those and some that we haven't talked about yet.
- Rulers
- Tape measures
- Yard sticks
- Meter sticks
Rulers are used all the time in mathematics. We can use a ruler to measure things that are small. Most rulers show both customary units of measurement like inches and metric units of measurement, such as the millimeter and the centimeter.
When you measure something that is small, a ruler is often the best tool to use.
You can measure the small item in customary units or metric units or both.
We can see that this barrette is about ______ inches long. The barrette can also be measured in centimeters. It is about __________ centimeters long. If an item that is being measured fits on a piece of paper, a ruler is probably the best tool to use.
Tape Measure
If we were going to measure the length of a table, we could use a ruler, but it is probably not the best tool to use. Think about it. A table is probably much longer than a ruler. We could line up ruler after ruler after ruler, but this would be a bit time consuming.
There is an easier way. We can use a tape measure.
Tape measures are used to measure many of the distances that are too long for a ruler to measure easily.
We use tape measures to measure the distance across a room or an object that is very long.
Tape measures show us length in inches and feet. We can see exactly how long something is by comparing the length of the object with the measurement on the tape measure.
Yard Stick
What about a yard stick?
A yard stick measures things by the yard. Since there are three feet in a yard, we can say that a yard stick could be used for things that are longer than a piece of paper, but not too long. Some of the things that we could measure with a tape measure we could also measure with a yard stick. Think about the table in the last example. We could also use a yard stick to measure it. Sometimes, you have to use common sense. If the table is really long, longer than the yard stick, then you would switch to the tape measure.
Meter Stick
A meter stick measures one meter.
We can use meter sticks to measure objects that are larger than a piece of paper. Remember that you can use centimeters and millimeters if the object is smaller than a piece of paper. Those items are easily measured with a ruler.
A meter stick is actually a little over 3 feet long, because a meter is approximately 3.2 feet. A meter stick compares to a yard stick.
For instances where we would use a yard stick for customary units, we can use a meter stick for metric units. If we were measuring a table length in metric units, a meter stick would probably be our best choice.
Now let's look at a few examples. What would be the best tool to use if we were measuring each item?
Example A
A toothpick
Solution: A ruler
Example B
The length of a room
Solution: Tape measure or meter stick
Example C
The Height of a Standing Lamp
Solution: Yard stick or meter stick
Now back to Sasha and her dress dilemma. Here is the original problem once again.
Sasha has figured out that she needs to use meters to measure her dress. After a trip to the fabric store, she came home with two and a half meters of cloth and began to attach the pattern to the material that she bought. However, she began to have challenges when she realized that she would need to use a tool to measure. Sasha thinks she should use a meter stick, but she isn't sure.
If you look back through the Concept, you can use the descriptions of each tool to determine whether or not Sasha has chosen the best measurement tool for her project. A "meter stick is best used to measure objects that are larger than a piece of paper." Meter sticks also measure 1 meter which is approximately 3 feet, the same length as 1 yard.
Sasha is correct! She should use a meter stick while making her dress.
Here are the vocabulary words that are found in this concept.
- Measurement
- using different units to figure out the weight, height, length or size of different things.
- Length
- how long an item is
- Customary units of length
- units of measurement such as inches, feet, yards and miles
- Metric units of length
- units of measurement such as millimeter, centimeter, meter and kilometer.
- Inches
- the smallest customary units of measurement, measured best by a ruler
- Foot
- a customary unit of measurement, there are 12 inches in 1 foot
- Yard
- a customary unit of measurement, there are 3 feet in 1 yard
- Mile
- a customary unit for measuring distances, there are 5280 feet in 1 mile
- Millimeter
- the smallest common metric unit of length
- Centimeter
- a small metric unit of length, best measured by a ruler
- Meters
- a unit compared with a foot or yard. 1 meter = a little more than 3 feet
- Kilometer
- a metric unit for measuring distances
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
Which unit would you use to measure the length of a bug that needs to be seen with a magnifying glass, and which tool would be the most helpful?
Let's think about this.
If the bug is so tiny that it needs to be seen with a magnifying glass then it is probably smaller than inches and centimeters.
A millimeter is the best unit to measure this bug.
What about tools?
Well, a bug this tiny is definitely smaller than a piece of paper, so it makes the most sense to use a ruler with metric measurements so that the measure of the bug is accurate.

Redirecting stderr and stdout to a file plus displaying them
It has taken me ages to figure this out. Googling has been fruitless. Finally, after some tinkering, I was able to figure out how to properly redirect stdout and stderr to a file plus display them from within a script. Here's the idiom:
if [ ! -e $OUTPUT_PIPE ]; then
mkfifo $OUTPUT_PIPE
if [ -e $OUTPUT_LOG ]; then
rm $OUTPUT_LOG
exec 3>&1 4>&2
tee $OUTPUT_LOG < $OUTPUT_PIPE >&3 &
exec > $OUTPUT_PIPE 2>&1
echo "This is on standard out"
echo "This is on standard err" >&2
exec 1>&3 3>&- 2>&4 4>&-
wait $tpid
rm $OUTPUT_PIPE
It works but it might not be entirely correct, particularly the exec &> /dev/null. Improvements or suggestions are welcome.
Update: Figured it out. I had to store stderr and then restore stdout and stderr and close the fd that I stored them in.
Update update: Looked back and realized I had a typo on my first exec line.

Following a disappointing fiscal Q4 outlook last night from drive maker Seagate Technology (STX), the Street today was mulling the prospects for hard drives versus solid-state drives, which use NAND flash memory chips instead of spinning magnetic disks.
Many bulls came to Seagate's defense today, but the issue, aside from the immediate health of the company, is the prospect that flash will take over from drives in many markets. Seagate sells both conventional drives and solid-state drives, or SSDs, as they're commonly known.
Speculation had surfaced last week that Seagate would buy SSD maker OCZ Technology (STX), and a blogger even stated last Friday definitively that Seagate would announce the deal during yesterday's call. That bit of speculation had sent OCZ shares soaring by 30% last Friday. The stock lost 10% on Monday as speculation cooled, and dropped further on Tuesday after no deal was announced by Seagate.
Speculation was still swirling at the close of markets on Tuesday, as conflicting headlines from wires services suggested that OCZ had cancelled its annual shareholder meeting, or that it had not. An OCZ representative confirmed to me in an email that the company will, in fact, hold its shareholder meeting as planned, on August 13th.
FBN Securities's Shebly Seyrafi, who has an Outperform rating on Seagate stock and a $32 price target, writes that "Without a deal, OCZ may be forced to raise capital as its cash flow generation has been weak lately."
Friday's blogger, Bright Side of the News's Theo Valich, today posted a follow-up item on the matter, with respect to his thesis not playing out, writing that "Sometimes, timings do go wrong." Still, he thinks a deal for OCZ is possible, citing comments on Seagate's conference call last night from CFO Pat O'Mally: "[Seagate] would be interested in buying an SSD maker that has a 'significant' share of the enterprise market."
Instead of an OCZ buy, Seagate announced it had appointed Gary Gentry, formerly with Micron Technology's (MU) enterprise NAND business, to run its SSD efforts.
The importance of SSDs is front and center for the Street. As Joe Yoo, the Citigroup analyst who maintains a Buy rating on Seagate shares and a $35 price target, put it in today's report, "Valuation remains overly punitive given excessive secular concerns over cannibalization from solid state drives."
Aaron Rakers with Stifel Nicolaus, who has a Buy rating on Seagate shares and a $35 price target, today laid out what he understands to be Seagate's state of play with respect to SSDs:
With increasing questions surrounding Seagate's SSD strategy – including speculated acquisitions, recent investment in privately-held DensBits (next-generation MLC/TLC NAND Flash controller technology; Digital Signal Processing), ramping strategic partnership/ownership with Samsung, and that our estimates imply WD's SSD revenue standing at +$100M in C2Q12 – Seagate's views on the SSD market are of particular interest. Seagate has announced the appointment of Gary Gentry as Senior Vice President of its SSD efforts. The company reiterated that the SSD market looks like a 2014-2015 story and that it's positive on joint controller development efforts completed with Samsung, while it sounds as if DensBits-based solutions would be further out.
Jayson Noland with R.W. Baird, who has a Neutral rating on the shares, notes today that the DensBits investment will "will be a topic at the analyst day" event.
Seagate shares fell 41 cents, or 1.3%, to $30.02 on Tuesday. Shares of competitor Western Digital (WDC) fell 40 cents, or 1%, to $39.77.

|Bench and Tree Adoptions
Queens Botanical Garden's adoption programs allow both individuals and organizations the opportunity to support the Garden and honor loved ones and colleagues. Bench Adoptions
QBG has completed repaving the pathways throughout our 39-acre urban oasis, and creating new spaces for new benches. You are invited to become a supporter of this exciting initiative by adopting a bench!
The adoption of a bench for $5,000 is a wonderful opportunity to honor a loved one or associate on celebratory occasions, memorialize a family member or friend, or just celebrate your love of the Garden. Each adopted bench will be laser engraved with a short inscription of your choosing.
New benches are made from powder-coated cast iron and white oak and are available in either the 1939 or 1964 World's Fair styles, depending on placement. Benches have an anticipated lifespan of 20 years. QBG is thrilled to be working with Kenneth Lynch & Sons, fabricator of the original 1939 World's Fair Benches, to create replica benches using modern, sustainable materials.
For more information, please call Stephanie Ehrlich, Director of Development at 718.886.3800, ext. 330 or Annette Fanara, Assistant Director of Development, at 718.886.3800 ext. 202.
Tree Adoptions
As trees often live beyond the lifespan of a single individual, they have long been used by cultures around the world to mark notable happenings, such as births, marriages, anniversaries, retirements, deaths, and significant life events. Through QBG's Tree Adoption program, you can choose from among a select number of mature or new trees available for adoption to best commemorate your event. Trees are available for adoption starting at $5,000 and include oak, maple, magnolia, holly, birch, pine and a limited number of cherry.

Cubs deal Lilly, Theriot
Posted on 31 Jul 2010 by Eddie Kim.
The emergence of Starlin Castro as the shortstop has created a logjam at second base, so that was one area where the Cubs wanted to move some pieces around. Since the off-season, the Cubs have made their interest in trading Ryan Theriot perfectly clear. Despite being only $800,000 apart in arbitration, the Cubs refused to even negotiate with Theriot and went to arbitration for the first time si...

New Weight-Loss Drug Reduces Body Weight in Monkeys, Mice

Anti-obesity drug Adipotide
(Source: University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center)
The new drug, called Adipotide, attacks white adipose tissue under the skin and around the abdomen
Researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a drug that assaults the blood supply of fat cells and led to weight loss in obese rhesus monkeys.
Renata Pasqualini, Ph.D., co-senior author of the study and professor in MD Anderson's David H. Koch Center for Applied Research for Genitourinary Cancers, along with Wadih Arap, M.D., co-senior author of the study and a professor in the Koch Center, and Kirstin Barnhart, D.V.M., Ph.D., veterinary clinical pathologist at MD Anderson's Keeling Center for Comparative Medicine and Research, have created a new weight-loss drug that could potentially reduce accumulated
white fat in humans
Currently, weight-loss drugs work to suppress the appetite or increase metabolism in order to
combat obesity
, but harmful side effects come with the use of such drugs.
Now, Pasqualini and Arap have designed a new drug called Adipotide, which attacks white adipose tissue. This tissue is an unhealthy kind of fat that accumulates around the abdomen and under the skin. Adipotide contains a homing agent that attaches to a protein on the surface of blood vessels that support the fat. A synthetic peptide then triggers cell death, and with a lack of blood supply, the fat cells are reabsorbed.
The drug was used in mice models and rhesus monkey models. Adipotide was able to decrease abdominal circumference, body mass index (BMI) and body fat.
According to the study, the obese mice lost about 30 percent of their body weight while on Adipotide. The rhesus monkeys in the study, which were "spontaneously" obese due to overeating and a lack of physical activity, had a 27 percent decrease in abdominal fat levels. The drug reduced the weight of rhesus monkeys by 11 percent in just one month.
The rhesus monkeys, in addition to
being obese
, had other health problems associated with their obesity such as metabolic syndrome. This can lead to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. But those treated with Adipotide used about 50 percent less insulin.
The research team used Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to gauge abdominal body fat, which discovered the reduction in abdominal fat levels.
According to the study, monkeys were alert and acted normally during treatment. This showed that the usual side effects of weight-loss drugs, such as loss of appetite and nausea, were not present while using Adipotide. However, Barnhart noted side effects in the kidneys, but the effect was "dose-dependent, predictable and reversible."
In a separate study to test for the drug's effects in non-obese monkeys, lean monkeys did not lose weight, which shows that the drug only acts in obese subjects.
The next step will be a clinical trial for obese prostate cancer patients, where these patients will receive daily injections of Adipotide for 28 days. The team has targeted prostate cancer patients because current treatments can lead to weight gain, and weight gain has caused problems with arthritis. This then leads to less activity, and more weight gain.
"The question is, will their prostate cancer become better if we can reduce their body weight and the associated health risks," said Arap.

Detailed Description:
This trial combines zolendronic acid with anthracycline followed taxane plus trastuzumab for neoadjuvant treatment of HER 2 positive stage II/III breast cancer.
Zoledronic acid (ZOL) has activity of anti-bone resorption and shows diverse anti-tumor effects in vitro. Some chemical and biological characteristics of ZOL indicate potential for inhibition of tumor growth in pre clinical studies
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the residual cancer burden (RCB) with the addition of zolendronic acid to standard neoadjuvant therapy. RCB is calculated as a continuous index combining pathologic measurements of primary tumor (size and cellularity) and nodal metastases (number and size). RCB index is a significant predictor of distant relapse-free survival, and can be used to define categories of near-complete response and chemotherapy resistance after neoadjuvant chemotherapy compared with currently used risk factors. Additionally, the study will collect tissue biopsies and blood before and after treatment in order to correlate clinical outcomes with gene expression and radiologic data to predictive response.

Report: Eagles to cut Asomugha today
Posted by Mike Florio on March 6, 2013, 10:45 AM EST

The Dream Team is dead. Long live the Dream Team.
Less than 20 months after emerging as the unexpected winner of the Nnamdi Asomugha sweepstakes, the Eagles will release the veteran cornerback, according to Howard Eskin of WIP94 in Philly and FOX29.
Asomugha was due to make a base salary of $15 million in 2013. But the Eagles owe him $4 million guaranteed, without offset.
This means that Nnamdi will get $4 million from the Eagles, in addition to anything he earns elsewhere.
At the time Asomugha picked the Eagles, the Jets and Cowboys were chasing him. If the Jets jump back in now, it would be the clearest sign yet that they intend to trade Darrelle Revis.
Might be willing to take a pay cut if the the Eagles owe him $4M anyway.
Remember him getting beat alot last year. He didn't look the same.
He just didn't fit that scheme very well.
We can get a younger and cheaper option.
Nnamdi and DRC got abused last year because of the scheme the Eagles ran.
Nnamdi and DRC are both PURE MAN CB's.
Eagles ran a zone scheme that Nnamdi and DRC are not suited for.
Worth a look.
"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
I am not sure he fits Miami's scheme. If Sean Smith doesn't, I don't think Nnamdi does either.

6 Million a year for Hartline? Hell no. 5 Mil a year MAX, and personally I think he is worth more toward 4 - 4.5. I would't mind a 4 year, 20 mil contract though.
6 Million a year for Hartline? Hell no. 5 Mil a year MAX, and personally I think he is worth more toward 4 - 4.5. I would't mind a 4 year, 20 mil contract though.
I think Hartline and his agent will realize they won't get 5-6 million and we should get him for 4 million with incentives. If we resign Hartline I think that eliminates Wallace and Bowe but not Jennings. If we have Jennings, Hartline, Bess, Mathews and then draft a WR in round 1-2 we will be fine.
---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------
It's not worth bringing him back if you want to do both of getting Jennings and a rookie. We can do Jennings+Hartline, Jennings+Rookie, or Hartline+Rookie but not Jennings+Hartline+rookie. I prefer Jennings+rookie.
In today's NFL, there are dominant, tall, strong, speedy elite receivers like Megatron at Detroit Lions, A.J. Green at Cincinnati Bengals or Julio Jones at Atlanta Falcons. Each of them owns impressive skills and the offensive system works around them, they are what experts call "alpha receivers". Well alpha receivers outshine the rest of the offense but in order to be effective, they must share the load. It's hard to share when you require to have the football to increase your bonuses and these alpha receivers usually have "diva" personalities.
Joe Philbin, Miami Dolphins HC believes that such elements reduce the efficiency of the offense as these players disappear from time to time (because of injury, effective defense or just a bad day) and the offense is incapable of adjusting. So Philbin and Mike Sherman, Dolphins' OC share the idea of an unpredictable offense, with many targets and all of them as good as the next. Also unlike some of his predecessors, Joe Philbin has been clear with the fan base. When Jeff Ireland has expressed the team is looking for play-makers, they aren't meaning to add a Brandon Marshall nor Megatron. They want sure hands, YAC and skilled guys. Sometimes that talent is hidden not out shinning.
Miami roster in 2012 was competent, let's say Dolphins were one-guy shy of being dominant.
Brian Hartline seems to have finished his evolution and proved his worth as starting receiver.
Also Davone Bess, Rishard Mathews and Jeff Fuller deserve consideration. All of them are second tiers but important pieces of this multi-target offense.
With one of your "Big 4" plus Hartline, Bess (at least in 2013) and Mathews, there's no room to use a top quality rookie.
But I don't share the idea that "If you bring him back, it will be for 6+ million and that is way overpaying, limiting what else we can spend at the position". Brian's agent will tell everyone his client is asking for a $8-10 million contract, but that is part of free agency negotiations. Hartline will get important money, a figure close to $6 millions/year in a 5 years contract, but less than 4 millions will be warranted. That's decent money.
On the other hand, everybody has different impressions, but let me express I don't see Wallace nor Harvin as upgrades for Hartline as both have healthy questions. Jennings is an obvious upgrade and Bowe is just an equivalent.
From Mexico, GO PHINS GO!!!
Gase has taken an interesting approach to instilling a winning culture in Miami. He is cocky. He is smart. He is borderline deranged.
Read more here: http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/sp...#storylink=cpy
I disagree with the op. I think we can bring in Jennings, resign Hartline and still draft a reciever or tight end in round 1 or 2.
I'm not sure you can't... Now I agree hartline is not worth 6 mil but at 4 or 4.5 I would be interested. The early round thing I don't get because people often forget these draft picks are not getting huge contracts anymore and the price tag would not force them o to the field if they needed further development to go with their tremendous upside talent ie. Patterson. If you got Jennings for 8.5 or so and hartline for 4.5 and draft a guy that's not a huge payroll for Playmakers and possession guy. Lets say for argument sake they take Patterson at 12. Wrs now Jennings hartline Patterson bess Mathews that is a solid 5 receiver group that gives flexibility if injuries occur.

Depression has set in
I did not receive my renewal notice, so I called the 800 number to renew...
Turkey and Turkey Hunting is no longer...
All remaining subscribers are going to receive D&DH magazine to finish out the time they have paid for.
If you haven't already received your letter you will shortly.
Is this site going down too? The friendly lady on the phone with me didn't know.
If you like any of the threads here, you better back them up on your own computer because we may come here one day and find a deer hunting site.
Is this another sign turkey hunting is a dying sport?


text:
The first 10 years or so I had 1 half-day to hunt turkeys per season. Ohio did not allow Sunday hunting and hunting ended at Noon. I could not afford to spend vacation on it, so there I was driving 3-4 hours one way just to get a half-day of turkey hunting.
Eventually my work schedule relaxed. For the past 8 seasons, I was able to take a full week, with 5 days all to myself and 1 or two weekends with my sons on either end.
Now I'm unemployed. For the first time in my life I got to spend a week deer hunting, and unless the market improves I'll have the whole of Spring Gobbler Season open. On the one hand I'm elated. On the other hand, I have this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Fifty was not my target retirement age.
Three times I had to get called in from the field to take care of problems at work. One year they called on Weds evening to tell me they'd had to fire someone in my department, and needed me back to fill in. The next year the boss' boss called me on Weds night to tell me they'd fired my boss. The next year, I had a major power and telcom outage to contend with, and handled it successfully from my front porch using the cell phone and a dial-up connection. However, I decided it was better to get back to town and show my face the next afternoon, just to show I cared.
This last year, I had everything set up-- no big problems. All my big projects had lost funding, so I was remarkably free. However, my new boss came within a hair's breadth of asking me to cancel at the last minute, because he was uncomfortable with doing without me. He still managed to call me mid-week in a fluster over nothing, regarding a project with which I had no involvement, and demand an update. The voicemail came at 2 AM. I responded at 6 AM via email, and went out hunting. That's when I knew this job was no longer for me and put out my resume when I got back in town.
26 years on the job, and finally got 3 weeks paid vacation in 2005 and still never got to take all three. I was rolling a year from 10 years ago that never got spent and they were paying me out for the third week. Of course, once I got the farm in 2001, every weekend was a small vacation, so I really wasn't bitter. About the only thing I regret was not taking more time in the beginning to turkey hunt.

I bet it's just the 2008 version with the new cockpit, but painted in ROTJ colors. It's odd that it's a Kmart exclusive, as that likely means the price will be nuts, but it'll be nice to have a movie B-wing out there again.

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Hey "Bish",
Great hearing from your region. Keep up the good word. Perhaps bring your camera with you on the 1st and post some pics of the beats. Nothing like a picture to excite all who are going up and fishing with you this year. My wife and I are very excited about visiting your "temple" this season.....and fishing with the master....
|Gaspe Salmon
Cascapedia River report...
Greetings fellow salmon freaks!
The swallows have invaded my barn and that can mean only one thing... the salmon are not far behind, if not already here!
The river is in great shape. Just a bit on the high side of things, which is a good thing for this time of the year. The water is a bit colored but not chocolate brown as it can be early in the season.
Unfortunately, I have been too busy to check out the water temps but I imagine they are in the mid 40's which is normal for this time of the year. I will be heading out to do a bit of exploring on the 1st and am hoping for the first pull of the year.
I have not had many reports from Gaspe and their early season but have heard rumours of a few fish being hooked and released on the York and St-Jean. I am not sure if they were skinny fish or if they are fat-cat-cool-bright fish. I am hoping for the latter!
I am sure that things will get going soon on most of our rivers and encourage all of you that can make it to this area to come and check out our magnificent rivers.
Frowning rods and screaming reels to you all!

Hi all,
Where will everyone be getting their AOTC and LOTR DVDs this week?
Report back with your findings.
Hi all,
Where will everyone be getting their AOTC and LOTR DVDs this week?
Report back with your findings.
Try going to play.com if you have a credit card. They work out a lot cheaper than MVC and have free shipping on all orders. They're based in Jersey. I checked out the prices of the LOTR and AOTC DVDs yesterday and they were just £16.99 for AOTC and roughly £26 I think for the LOTR 4 disk set. They also do music and I was hard pushed to find a CD for more than £10. I did a search for older CDs and some of the really hard to find stuff that usually goes for like £20 at HMV was just £9.99. I haven't actually bought from them yet since my credit card is pretty much maxed out but with prices like that I'll definately be giving them a go.
thanks EJ.
I think I heard that Sainsbury's will be doing a good offer. Has anyone heard anything about that?
I was planning on trying Sainsbury's. Their CDs are all 9:99 each so I figured DVDs would be similarly reasonable.
Just checked Sainsburys website and it's £12.50 which seems pretty good to me.
I preordered my copy of AOTC from Play.com a while ago.
I was hoping it would have arrived today, as TPM arrived a day earlier than its release date last year.
Sadly no sign of it yet, hopefully tomorrow.
TK6540 of the UK Garrison
Amazon.co.uk are also selling AOTC for £16.99 and LOTR (4 Disc) for £22.49 - plus if you get both for £39.48 it is free p & p (any order above £39).
However, does the UK version of AOTC include the Jango/Obi Wan headbutt?
I think because it is U rated, this extra will only appear on the US version
Wipe them out. All of them.
Just wandered through Piccadilly Circus to compare the prices in Tower Records, Virgin & HMV. Here are the results:
Tower - 19.99 & 15.99
HMV - 19.99 (incl. voucher) & 13.99
Virgin Megastore - 18.99 & 13.99
Disappointed not to see any sign of a widescreen VHS version, though, as that would match the original TPM tape I bought a few years back.
"Afterlife, aftershave - don't hold with any of it!" - Sir Henry Rawlinson.
Had a look all around Derby today. The cheapest I could get it was 16.99 using my NUS discount at Virgin Megastores.
I feel a bit ripped-off.
I spoke to a guy in my local MVC today as I bought the VHS and asked if there was a widescreen VHS, he said "Um, whatever's on the shelf is what we've got...." not very helpful at all but he seemed more concerned with how his hair looked in the reflection of the vhs packaging than anything else. I have a feeling that the VHS version is more of a grudging release since the official site blared about how good the DVD was and how we should all go widescreen over fullscreen to see the movie THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED TO BE SEEN! which is great but for those of us not fortunate enough to have a DVD player it means the agony of having only half a movie.
I'm all for new technologies and better viewing experiences but sometimes we can't all jump on the bandwagon straight away and to be mean and force us to take on technology is pretty crappy of the entertainment industry. I foresee the VHS experience being pretty sad from now on as they make them poorer and poorer quality and the DVD's better and better. I'll buy both versions until I can afford a DVD player and suffer the fullscreen gloomily, but I'm not happy about this decision to only do a fullscreen version of the VHS. Maybe if they reduced the price of DVD technology more people would be embracing it.
But that's just my rant for the day. I'm sitting down to watch the VHS later, looking forward to seeing some of the deleted scenes.
Well said, Jargo!
Just watched the opening crawl and (as I'm about to post on another thread) 'tis indeed fullscreen.
I plan to get DVD at some point in the next year or so as part of an upgrade to my PC, but not before.
I suspect that your term 'grudging' sums the situation up quite accurately.
At the moment the VHS format seems to be a ridiculously cheap medium for buying anything. I suspect that by the time the DVD of Episode THREE is available, it may have become very much a minority medium, with prices increased accordingly.

Assumption tops Barneveld for 1st WIAA state title
Grundhoffer, Sigler lead way for Royals
GREEN BAY, Wis. - Gena Grundhoffer scored 10 points and Mary Sigler added 9 as Wisconsin Rapids Assumption beat Barneveld 39-35 in the WIAA Division 5 state championship game at Resch Center.
It is the first WIAA state title for Assumption. The game was a rematch of a regular-season game in January where the Royals took down Barneveld, 44-41.
Assumption (28-1) trailed 5-4 early before going on a 14-2 run. Barneveld, which was held scoreless for a seven-minute stretch, had nine first-half turnovers and was down 24-13 at halftime.
The Golden Eagles (27-2) scored the first seven points of the final quarter to tie the game at 31 with 3:13 remaining. But Grundhoffer responded with six points to put her team up for good.
Barneveld's Rachel Slaney scored a game-high 12 points.

Add something hearty to your French dinner. Bake this chicken, rice, and mushroom casserole flavored with soy, hot pepper sauce and water chestnuts.
Wild rice is not actually rice, but the seeds of an aquatic grass native to shallow lakes and streams in the northern Great Lakes area. Wild rice is also commercially cultivated. Cultivated wild rice is the most readily available product, and is usually more economical than lake wild rice.

Not everyone is happy about Sonny Bill Williams' return to league but the timing could be perfect for Kiwis coach Stephen Kearney as he plots the defence of New Zealand's world title next year.
Williams on Tuesday made official what everyone expected when he confirmed a one-year A$550,000 ($703,145) deal to return to the NRL with the Sydney Roosters.
It's likely it will be a one-year flirtation only, with most expecting him to return to rugby the next year with an eye on the All Blacks' 2015 World Cup campaign.
Williams polarises opinion in Australasia like no other player of his era and some, including former Bulldogs teammate Hazem El Masri, are upset he can return to the NRL after walking out on the club and a five-year deal in 2008.
The timing is poignant, given that deal with the Bulldogs would have expired two weeks ago, but the timing is perfect for Kearney and the Kiwis.
Of course, nothing is certain in Williams' world and he declined to comment when asked if he would make himself available for next year's league World Cup in England and Wales. He is also New Zealand heavyweight boxing champion and wants to find time to explore his potential in boxing further.
Kearney isn't banking on Williams being available for the World Cup but the 27-year-old would be a guaranteed selection if he was fit and willing.
"I think it's wonderful to have Sonny back in the game," Kearney said.
"There's no doubt about that. Like he said yesterday, he has to earn his opportunities even at the Roosters.
"He's injured at the moment so I don't want to think about [whether he will play at the World Cup] and he probably doesn't either. His priority is to get himself right and playing good footy for the Roosters, which I think he will do, and then work from there.
"A lot can happen between now and then. We will keep following the plans we have in place. If Sonny's part of the group, he will be a wonderful bonus for us. We will look at it that way."
Williams was just 18 and only a few matches into his NRL career when he first played for the Kiwis in 2004, becoming the youngest person to pull on the black and white jumper in a test. He played only seven tests in total before he walked out on the Bulldogs and league for French rugby club Toulon.
It was a blow to the Kiwis but Kearney's side still went on to upset Australia to claim the World Cup.
NZRL high performance manager and Kiwis team manager Tony Kemp has been in touch with Williams about his plans but Kearney will give him space to work his way back into the game before making contact.
It will take Williams some time to readjust but Kearney was convinced he would be a success.
"It's hard to say [how he might have changed as a player]," Kearney said. "As he said yesterday, he didn't do much contact in rugby union, which is a big part of rugby league. I think it's probably more that he's matured as a person with four years away from the game.
"There's no doubt he's a wonderful athlete. He's not a bad boxer also so whatever he does he will be good at it."
He's won an NRL and Super Rugby title as well as the ITM Cup and Rugby World Cup. Many will be hoping he has the appetite to chase a rugby league world crown, too.

Training is not science, it is art. A blend of this, a measure of that, a deep breath at the appropriate moment and always a loving touch.
I always liked John's dry sense of humor and his innate ability to liven things up.
I appreciate a man who speaks his mind and doesn't back peddle and John certainly possessed those traits.
A larger than life presence on this forum and I for one will miss his wit and feisty good natured ribbing.
Rest in peace John.

Any Sg From The Uk?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

My Gallery I scrap with Photoshop CS6.
Posted 19 February 2013 - 02:34 AM
I grew up just outside Brighton, but I now live in Yorkshire. I have 4 kids, my eldest is 15 my youngest 3. I scrap when all but my youngest are at school (I don't work), won't get much done this week! Until recently evening scrapping was impossible, the monitor for my computer is also used for the xbox and my two eldest argue over who's turn it is to play. We have now invested in a laptop capable of running photoshop, but it's windows 8 and I'm finding it hard to get used to.
If you are finding it hard to get layouts done in the time you have, why not try some templates, I use them often they can cut the time it takes to create a layout in half or more. Or even some JIF pages (just insert foto), these are ready made pages that you just add your photos to and add some journalling and a title if you wish.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I'm around during the day, but all members here are very friendly and very helpful.
Posted 19 February 2013 - 06:41 AM
Valerie's idea is a good one - use templates to start scrapping your stash of photos. Make sure that you journal too - it's the little details that get lost over the years. Also, be prepared to rescrap - as your skills improve you might find (as I do with some of mine) that early efforts make you cringe!
As for finding time to scrap - well, in the days before digiscrapping I would carefully switch off my computer and flick the switch on the wall. Now my computer only ever "sleeps" because I never know when I might find a few minutes to work on a LO and that way I can quickly get back to what I was doing withough having to wait 5 minutes for the computer to fire up.
Hope that helps. Maybe we'll see some of your LOs in the gallery soon.
Posted 27 April 2013 - 08:53 AM
I'm near Oxford, but grew up in Yorkshire. I've got a 4 year old daughter and 1 year old son. I see each layout I complete as an achievement and it motivates me to continue working towards my goal of having a book of layouts for a whole year; I got to April last year and I'm currently on January 2013! Templates are great, but I also find the gallery here as a great source of inspiration when I'm struggling with ideas.
I find it frustrating on here at times reading about the facilities available in the US for digital scrapbooking that I just can't find in the UK. What have services have you found that you really like?
I've used Albelli for printing a scrapbook album and Vistaprint for cards. I'd really like to find a magazine, but the best I've found is Photoshop Creative.
Posted 28 April 2013 - 03:53 PM
Like you I'm trying to complete a book for each year of my son's life. You sound like you're doing amazingly well to be up to January 2013 - I'm still on November 2009, but then I keep getting side-tracked by the brilliant challenges and events at SG!
I agree with you on the printing - the only things I've had printed so far are calendars and canvases - we've used Snapfish for the canvases (which we've been really pleased with) and Pixum for the calendars (they were ok, but I really struggled to make my LO size the correct fit for the space on their page). I haven't tried to print a book yet, but I don't think I'd use either Snapfish or Pixum - I was thinking I might have to bite the bullet and order from the USA.
I also really enjoyed being able to take part in a couple of the chats during Mischief week - because there were so many going on there were actually some that were at a sensible time for our little corner of the world.

Like you I'm trying to complete a book for each year of my son's life. You sound like you're doing amazingly well to be up to January 2013 - I'm still on November 2009, but then I keep getting side-tracked by the brilliant challenges and events at SG!
I'm not doing as well as it initially sounds.
I started in 2010 and did a few random pages here and there. I then started 2011 and followed the same approach and completed 11 pages. I then started 2012 and got to April. Now I'm up to January 2013.
I intend to go back and complete the previous books, but I knew that I wouldn't have as much motivation if I was trying to catch up all those months. Once I'm up to date I'll then go back and start filling in the gaps. My baby books are not great either, but again I'll catch up at some point.

I had fun and got a page closer to a finished book (and in a style I wouldn't have done on my own)

Three New Blog Badges: Zoey, Gavin and Philip
Our only regret is that we can't respond to and post all the requests we receive. We realize that some people feel overlooked or ignored. Our blog family has grown ten fold over the past few months and with that comes a new set of challenges.
Please realize that we get, and respond to dozens upon dozens of emails every day. We get a steady stream of requests to mention blogs, post badges, and let you know about other precious children or adults in tough situations. We wish we could post every single one of them. In fact, I might create a new blog simply for that purpose...
We have no rules or patterns or criteria about how we respond. We just do what we can do for as many as we can while continuing to minister generally to all. Please don't feel forgotten or neglected or ignored or intentionally overlooked. It is just simply physically impossible to respond to all and post everything we are asked to post.
One last thing... I was asked yesterday "how can you possibly respond to, pray for, and actually spend time thinking about hundreds of people and requests?" The question kind of implied that we pretend like we actually DO all those things for every request. Of course we don't... we can't, it's impossible and we don't pretend otherwise.
We respond to a LOT, we pray for a LOT, we answer a LOT, we give advice to a LOT... but we can't do it for all. I think people realize that. That is why we do features like "Pray for Me, Pray for Others" so that our entire community of blog friends can get in on praying for each other and responding with advice and information. We also allow our comments to be used to post links and information for other readers to see. This allows our blog friends to "post" their requests or information on our blog when they need to. People read comments, trust me.
We will continue to think of new creative ways to build "community" into our blog so that it can become a source of ministry to as many as possible.
Over on the right, you'll see blog badges for Zoey, Gavin, and Philip. Please take a moment and visit their blog and get to know them. Not trying to single anyone out, but Zoey's beautiful face will just melt your heart.
We'll keep you posted on Abby's surgery today. We have a lot of new pics and videos to share this week, just trying to find time to get them posted.
Thanks for the overwhelming response yesterday. It was very encouraging. We do not, and will not dwell on the negative comments, but occasionally they give us opportunity to remind each other what we are doing and why we are doing it.

I think the majority of us realize how busy you are, and we really appreciate the time that you have given us.
Maybe someone (that you know/trust) would be willing to run/moderate a Riggs family message board and/or chat room? I've seen both work wonders in building community. Some of my best friends are those that I connected with online as far back as 10 years ago through message boards and chat rooms, and we are still friends to this day.
Just throwing the idea out there.

I couldn't believe the post that you showed... the negative one. I think you are doing the right thing. Be encouraged that people are praying for Abby, my family is, and we do look at others and pray for others as well. I like the community it builds and the way, as believers, we connect even through blogging. I was woken last night to pray for Abby's surgery, and EARLY this morning. Know that you are covered!
God Bless,

We also wanted to add our voice to say that we, as fellow Christians and adoptive parents, gain tremendous strength from praying for your family and seeing how God works in your lives. We are praying for Abby throughout our days!

Praying for sweet Abby as always. I'm trying to wean myself from computer time but I ALWAYS check on Abby everyday. Michelle left a comment on Sydney's blog a few weeks ago requesting her badge code (I don't have a code - I juyst copied the picture onto blogger and inserted our web address) Brent you had actually commented on setting up a code for me but I never replied (I'mreally terrible about that and forgetful too)
Praying for surgery today.

Dear Riggs family, I just prayed for you and will continue to pray for the surgery today.
If there is anything that I can do to help you with the requests, or organize a prayer chain or something, please let me know. You all do so much to bless others, and lift up the name of the Lord.
Blessings, Lisa

I've seen a couple of other sites - Faithful Froggers, Dylan Hartung and Hope 4 Peyton come to mind - who started up separate pages for prayer requests or websites of sick children. Faithful Froggers actually lets the readers add their own requests, maybe you could team up with them or start your own page. Otherwise your page will be so full of badges you won't see anything else!

Having a busy blog is something so many people desire, but it does come with it's own stresses and demands. Keep your chin up, you're doing just fine!

You asked for it and we doubled it! Twice the cinnamon-sugar in the middle and on top adds extra sweetness to a melt-in-your-mouth coffee cake.
A drizzle of almond glaze adds a nice finishing touch. Stir together 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle glaze over warm coffee cake.
Cold butter is needed to create a "just right" streusel texture and a crust that's easy to handle.
