Before we revisit with today's author, I want to announce that the winner of the drawing for Cowboy Protector, by Margaret Daley, is:
gahome2mom@ . . .
Congratulations! I'll contact you today for your snail mail address, and we'll get your book to you right away. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right in order to participate in future book give-aways!
Now let's revisit novelist Deborah Raney, author of Almost Forever, the first book in the Hanover Falls Novels (Howard/Simon & Schuster, May 2010).
Deborah Raney is at work on her 20th novel. Her books have won the RITA Award, HOLT Medallion, National Readers' Choice Award, Silver Angel, and have twice been Christy Award finalists. Her first novel, A Vow to Cherish, inspired the World Wide Pictures film of the same title. Deb and her husband, Ken Raney, enjoy small-town life in Kansas. They are new empty nesters with four grown children and two precious grandsons, all of whom live much too far away.
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Almost Forever.
Unearthing a lost memory may cause her to lose everything she holds dear . . . but could it also set her free? Volunteer Bryn Hennesey was there at the Grove Street Homeless Shelter the night five heroic firefighters died at the scene. Among them was her husband, Adam. But a terrifying absence of memory has her wondering if she might, in some way, be responsible. Garrett Edmonds' wife, Molly, was the only female firefighter to perish in the blaze. He was supposed to protect the woman he loved. Now she's the one who's died a hero. How can he go on in the face of such unbearable loss? And what started the fire that destroyed the dreams and futures of so many? Investigators are stumped. But someone knows the answer.
What is it about your lead character that will make your readers care about her?
Like many of us, Bryn is unable to admit the truth about herself, about her motives and her fragile human nature. She is willing to believe a lie that's comfortable rather than face a truth that will change her life. But her strength, eventually, is a complete turnaround of her weakness: realizing the importance of honesty and being willing to place her life on the line so that the truth may be revealed.
Why will readers enjoy your novel?
I think readers will see a lot of themselves in my characters and be able to identify with the emotions and struggles they overcome. Almost Forever also has a stronger romantic element than some of my books, and that's always fun.
If you were the casting director for the film version of your novel, who would play your lead roles?
Bryn would be played by Stana Katic, from the Castle TV series:
And Michael Weatherly from NCIS would make a great Garrett:
One of the advantages of traditional publishing is the amount of editing one's manuscript receives before the publisher releases it as a novel. How much editing do your manuscripts typically get before you release them to your publisher?
In addition to my critique partner reading each chapter, and several readers reading the manuscript, I probably make at least 10 passes over each novel before it goes to my editor. After that, I rewrite from the substantive edit, then read through the suggested changes for the line edit stage, again for the copyedit, and finally I read the entire manuscript again in galley form (exactly as the book will appear in print.) Frankly, by the time a book hits the bookstores, I'm just about sick of it!
LOL! I'm with you there. But that shows why a traditionally published book reads so much better than your typical self-published novel.
What subject matter or era have you not yet published about (but would love to)?
I've really been able to write just about every type of book I wanted. Women's fiction is my first love, but I wrote a romantic comedy (Playing by Heart) that was a blast to write, and a historical that I'm very proud of (but that took way too much research!)
What is the last book you read that moved you?
I really enjoyed They Almost Always Come Home by Cynthia Ruchti. It moved me because it explored the question of how much you would be willing to sacrifice to save someone--especially someone you aren't sure you even like?
What are you working on now?
I'm writing the third book in the Hanover Falls Novels series, After All. It's very satisfying to be tying up the threads of the series in this installment.

The problem with being a "good sport" ....is sometimes you have to lose to prove it. The problem with big balls is never learning sometimes you just got it wrong.
Stan, the water blinds went well. We're into spring here. No more hard water here in the valley. Gonna head to the high country tomorrow. There maybe some ice still there. If it is still "hard", I'll follow the advice given...."stop doing 'blinds' and call your doctor immediately for a blind lasting more than four hours.
Stan, before you twist and spin my first paragraph into something that has nothing to do with you or me, or anyone else, try...try... to not always have the last word. It doesn't always make you the "winner", just ask your favorite poster. JD

There has been many a discussion post season as to why we finished in fifth spot in the league last season, when many, myself included, thought that fourth should have been a definite and maybe even second or third was a real possibility.
Some of the post mortem debates have been;
Was it the lack of goals from the strikeforce and the fact we didn't strengthen this area in the January transfer window? At the start of the season most would have said it was good enough to compete.
Was it that our success in the CL had a negative and tiring effect on our league form as we all know about the 2 points from 8 games fact, plus the seeming inability to defeat the so called inferior teams?
Is that I and many others are just wrong and we really aren't as good as we had hoped and believed and we are in the right place for the level we are at?
All the above points have merit to some degree.
We know that our strikeforce of JD, Pav, Crouchy and Keano should have been capable of firing in the goals as they had plenty of imagination, flair and talent behind them creating the chances for them. But ,for various reasons, it didn't happen for them last season and when we desperately needed to strengthen and had the opportunity this failed to materialise also.
The inability to defeat lesser teams was the most frustrating fact from last season for me. I can hear you saying now to yourself 'why would this be?', as Spurs have a history of doing such things and you would be correct in that thought. The previous season we were much better at getting the points when we struggled and played the bottom half of the table teams and maybe I just expected the team to carry on in the same vein. Of course the CL exertions had an effect but we have a quality and large enough squad that should have been used to its maximum to prevent such a dire return at the tail end of the season.
After reflecting on the last season I truly believe that it really was a superb opportunity for us to finish anywhere from second to fourth in the league as we had the talent to have done this. Especially as Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and even Manchester United struggled for large parts of the season, so a real opportunity lost in my eyes. On the where we really are front and compared to the other teams mentioned I think we can honestly seriously compete with City, Liverpool and Arsenal now.
But, after reading a very good article in the latest edition of FourFourTwo Magazine (@FourFourTwo on Twitter) I put forward this reason: Injuries and specifically injury to Ledley King!
According to said article Spurs had 61 different injuries during the last season, the most in the PL, the least were BLackpool with 20. Spurs as a whole lost 1528 days to injuries, the 4th most, Sunderland were top with 2001 days. I know our squad should be big enough and have enough depth within it to cope with such issues as every team has them, but 61! That seems a hell of a lot of injuries and days lost, I wonder how many times that specific ones occurred? Maybe the club should analyse what they were, how many times they occurred and how they could possibly change the training routine to prevent some of them. Yes, some were obviously match related injuries that you cannot do anything about as it is a contact sport after all and also injuries occurred to players whilst playing for the their countries rather then us (Dawson and JD's for England being 2). Still, injuries on this scale must have an effect on the team with consistency, gelling with and understanding team mates, fitness levels and possibly psychologically as well. With the amount of games we played I am not saying this was the only reason but it may have been a real factor and taken its toll on the team.
My second point on the injury front issue is our leader, Mr Cool himself, Ledley King. I firmly believe he is the best centre back in the country bar none and it's a crying shame what has happened to him due to his dodgy knees mainly, amongst other related issues. I have some interesting facts for you:
Last season LK missed 197 days of a 282 day PL season (the previous season 101). He was included in 10 squads throughout the last season, starting 9 times and being an unused sub once, 6 starts were in the PL (previous season 21 starts, 20 in PL). This related to a total of 764 minutes of competitive football played last season and 1637 minutes the season before. Our win percentage with him in the team last season was 75% (PL games only and yes I know only 6 of them!), and without 58%, over a much longer period it has to be said. I can counter this though with the stat that over the last 7 seasons we are at a win percentage of 59% with him in the team and 50% when he isn't. How many points this relates to last season if he played even 10 more league games of the 32 that he missed is anyone's guess but if we used a win percentage of only 50% and converted some of the draws into wins, it would be anywhere from 10-15 points I reckon and second place in the league! Wishful thinking I know.
Obviously this is all theoretical and stats can be twisted to suit but I do honestly believe we are a much calmer, better team with LK in it that wins more. It also would have helped if we could have had available our first choice XI much more often (obviously with squad rotation being taken into account) without the deluge of injuries and last season could have been even better than it was.
Hopefully next season we won't have so many injuries, especially to our top players, Ledley will play some more games and our strikers will be firing.
Top four here we come!

Supercomputer Heads North to Alaska
FAIRBANKS, ALASKA -- Luxury accommodations, an ocean cruise and air-cushioned ride -- that's how a $10.2 million supercomputer is traveling to Alaska.
The extremely-fast, large-memory CRAY supercomputer named Denali departs September 1, 1993 from Cray Research Inc.'s facility in Eagan, Minn. headed for the new Arctic Region Supercomputing Center which is located on the University of Alaska Fairbanks main campus.
The 15,000 pound, super-sensitive, high-tech equipment will make its 3,500-mile journey in relative luxury -- trucked inside a climate-controlled (temperature and humidity) air-ride van to Seattle. Next, the supercomputer will set sail across the Gulf of Alaska for Anchorage. The itinerary schedules the supercomputer's final stop in Fairbanks on September 11.
The supercomputer -- the first in The Last Frontier -- has been available to academic researchers, scientists and commercial users worldwide since January 1993 via an international computer-to-computer communications network called Internet. Following the move and installation, a global hookup from Fairbanks will be re-established September 15.

No doubt the Dems will be coming after your Rights to defend yourself. They will use this tragedy to over-react and impose laws that they have always wanted to. Just remember that the same folks that want to pass further gun laws are the same groups that want to ban hunting!
Here is one Political Party that is looking after your Rights!
Libertarian Party: Halt the Massacre of Innocent Children by Ending Prohibition on Self-Defense in Schools
Families throughout the nation mourn the horrific deaths of 26 people, including 20 young children, killed Friday during a Newtown, Conn., mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Its impossible to imagine the depths of despair and grief that the victims families are experiencing right now, said Geoffrey J. Neale, Chair of the Libertarian National Committee. Our hearts go out to every one of them.
In the immediate aftermath of news surrounding the shootings, pundits and politicians called for new restrictions on firearm ownership, exactly the opposite of the approach needed to combat tragic gun violence in schools.
We've created a 'gun-free zone,' a killing zone, for the sickest criminals on the face of the Earth," said R. Lee Wrights, vice-chair of the Libertarian Party. "We've given them an open killing field, and we've made the children of this country the victims."
Wrights pointed out that merely the knowledge that armed people will be present acts as a deterrent for would-be shooters.
"They're not going to walk into a police station, and why not? Because that's where the guns are," he said.
The Federal Gun Free Schools Zone Act prohibits carrying firearms on school grounds in most cases, effectively criminalizing the right to self-defense in places filled with the most vulnerable citizens. Without that federal prohibition, adults working at the school would have been free to defend themselves, very possibly saving the lives of many of the young children and adults who were slain in this horrific tragedy.
"We must stop blinding ourselves to the obvious: Most of these mass killings are happening at schools where self-defense is prohibited," said Carla Howell, executive director of the Libertarian Party. "Gun prohibition sets the stage for the slaughter of innocent children. We must repeal these anti-self-defense laws now to minimize the likelihood they will occur in the future and to the limit the damage done when they do."
Responsible gun owners can and do prevent mass shootings from occurring and escalating.
- A 1997 high school shooting in Pearl, Miss., was halted by the school's vice principal after he retrieved the Colt .45 he kept in his truck.
- A 1998 middle school shooting ended when a man living next door heard gunfire and apprehended the shooter with his shotgun.
- A 2002 terrorist attack at an Israeli school was quickly stopped by an armed teacher and a school guard.
- A 2002 law school shooting in Grundy, Va., came to an abrupt conclusion when students carrying firearms confronted the shooter.
- A 2007 mall shooting in Ogden, Utah, ended when an armed off-duty police officer intervened.
- A 2009 workplace shooting in Houston, Texas, was halted by two coworkers who carried concealed handguns.
- A 2012 church shooting in Aurora, Colo., was stopped by a member of the congregation carrying a gun.
- At the recent mall shooting in Portland, Ore., the gunman took his own life minutes after being confronted by a shopper carrying a concealed weapon.
For several years after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, gun prohibitionists blocked pilots from carrying firearms. But after it became undeniable that guns are an essential line of defense against hijackers and other terrorists when the lives of innocent passengers are at stake, Congress finally passed legislation allowing it.
It's time to take the same approach with teachers, school administrators, and security guards, who should be allowed to carry the tools necessary to protect the students in their care. It's time to put an end to gun-free zones and make it much easier for responsible adults to arm, train, and protect themselves and the people they love from the violent criminals who seek to harm them.
"You can't depend on somebody else to take care of your own life for you," Wrights said. "It's too precious to put it into the hands of somebody else, particularly when the seconds count."
The Libertarian Party Platform on Self-Defense states: The only legitimate use of force is in defense of individual rights life, liberty, and justly acquired property against aggression. This right inheres in the individual, who may agree to be aided by any other individual or group. We affirm the individual right recognized by the Second Amendment to keep and bear arms, and oppose the prosecution of individuals for exercising their rights of self-defense. We oppose all laws at any level of government requiring registration of, or restricting, the ownership, manufacture, or transfer or sale of firearms or ammunition.###
"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke

Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
Interesting how rarely mass shootings happen at police stations, gun clubs or shooting ranges. All places with a ready supply of... you guessed it... guns.
Bill Davis
The country that has the worse history oif gun violence in schools,, is Germany.. They also have a very restrictive gun ownership policy.
Do you folks remember the worse school shooting? It was in the Netherlands. 69 kids killed. Their Goverment also has MUCh,,MUCH strict controls on guns than we do here.
Everyones emotions are high right now,, Its the WORSE time to be considering strict gun laws ,that IMHO, will do NOTHING to keep this from happening again.
Buit then again,,,their are those in Government,, that will jump at the chance to take advantage of Emotion,, if it drives their agenda to completion..
I think the common thread is that these shooters are seeking suicide in a dramatic fashion. People carrying guns is not going to figure in their calculations. Neither does more gun regulation work. What is needed is a means of keeping firearms out of the way of mentally disturbed people and that won't be easy.

I don't want to feed an ugly dog!
Example of Gun control History in Germany.
They still, very recently, have horrendous gun violence in schools.
And yes Relodaing is very easy and fast. Even with a revolver. And bump stocks are an interesting way to simulate auto weapons, not nearly as fast but fun to shoot.

Been a while since i've posted in this thread, so here we go:
"Eastern Promises"- another solid outing from Cronenberg and Viggo Mortensen. Great acting all around and the film is very solid- ***1/2 out of ****
"Right At Your Door"- Indie film about a series of dirty bombs that gets unleashed into LA and how one man seals himself in his house and what happens when his wife, covered in ash and chemicals, comes home for help. Great visuals, but the characters don't develop and the ending is totally off base. ** out of ****
"The Mist"- FINALLY caught this flick (in theaters!) and loved it. The CGI was iffy in a few scenes, but for the most part it was a terrific film about how people react when fear sets in and reason leaves. The ending was INSANE. ***1/2 out of ****
"Across the Universe"- Very entertaining film if you enjoy trippy sequences with Beatles music. And just so happens: I enjoy trippy sequences to Beatles music. *** out of ****
"Be Kind Rewind"- caught this film today and really enjoyed it. Jack Black and Mos Def work really well together oddly enough and like all Michel Gondry films, it requires a bit of suspension of belief, but besides that, it's a very positive, uplifting film. *** out of ****
Expect a few here soon. :thumbsup:

If you run a fitness and/or wellness program of any kind as an extension of your practice, then having a surefire system of getting other healthcare professionals to refer their patients to you on a regular basis is extremely valuable.
In fact, if you get just 10 referrals each month, it can easily generate an extra $10,000/month in practice income based on the lifetime value and retention of that patient in your practice as a "wellness client" according to our statistics.
But more important is the fact that even when they do refer to you in the hopes that you can help them improve their health with certain lifestyle "game changers" like exercise and diet, how do you insure that their patients will show up on your doorstep?

Proximal renal tubular acidosis is a disease that occurs when the kidneys don't properly remove acids from the blood into the urine. As a result, too much acid remains in the blood (called acidosis).
Renal tubular acidosis - proximal; Type II RTA; RTA - proximal; Renal tubular acidosis type II
When the body performs its normal functions, it produces acid. If this acid is not removed or neutralized, the blood will become too acidic. This can lead to electrolyte imbalances in the blood. It can also cause problems with normal function of some cells.
The kidneys help control the body's acid level by removing acid from the blood and excreting it into the urine. Acidic substances in the body are neutralized by alkaline substances, mainly bicarbonate.
Proximal renal tubular acidosis (Type II RTA) occurs when bicarbonate is not properly reabsorbed by the kidney's filtering system.
Type II RTA is less common than Type I RTA. Type II most often occurs during infancy and may go away by itself.
Causes of type II RTA include:
Symptoms of distal renal tubular acidosis include any of the following:
Other symptoms can include:
The doctor will perform a physical exam and ask about the symptoms.
Tests that may be ordered include:
Other tests that may be done include:
The goal is to restore normal acid level and electrolyte balance in the body. This will help correct bone disorders and reduce the risk of osteomalacia and osteopenia in adults.
Some adults may need no treatment. All children need alkaline medicine such as potassium citrate and sodium bicarbonate. This is medicine that helps correct the acidic condition of the body. The medicine helps prevent bone disease caused by too much acid, such as rickets, and to allow normal growth.
The underlying cause of proximal renal tubular necrosis should be corrected if it can be found.
Vitamin D and calcium supplements may be needed to help reduce skeletal deformities resulting from osteomalacia or rickets.
Although the underlying cause of proximal renal tubular acidosis may go away by itself, the effects and complications can be permanent or life-threatening. Treatment is usually successful.
Untreated, distal renal tubular acidosis can lead to any of the following conditions:
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of proximal renal tubular acidosis.
Get medical help right away if any of the following emergency symptoms develop:
Most of the disorders that cause proximal renal tubular acidosis are not preventable.

New Zealand motorsport has had more than its fair share of heroes over the years, and the odd dastardly villain to boot. This week, I had the pleasure of seeing the fruits of our latest motorsport hero's labour. And the kicker is - he's Scottish and based in Australia.
Now this in itself may seem good reason to disqualify the gent in question from the status of Kiwi motorsport hero, but he's achieved more here in a very short space of time than many of our racing stalwarts ever will.
Tony Quinn, VIP Petfoods boss and Targa GTR legend, has poured a vast pile of cash and an even larger chunk of time into a piece of land near Cromwell to create what is without doubt the most impressive motor racing complex that this country has ever seen.
Targa fans will recognise Quinn's name from the tarmac rally's leaderboard, which he has topped an unprecedented five times. His black VIP Petfoods GTR has chewed up and spat out much of the North Island at pace. He's a colourful character and is highly likely to tell you what he really thinks, in no uncertain terms, with words that I'd get fired for using here.
Quinn's soon-to-open Highlands Motorsport Park is nothing short of jaw-dropping - from the beautiful location to the seriously well-conceived race circuit and the on-site museum. There's nothing that hasn't been considered.
It's so good that the blokes Quinn bought Highlands from - Ian Begg, Grant Aitken, Allan Dippie and Scott O'Donnell - are still very much involved.
We visited the Cromwell facility for no reason other than it's very cool and we were driving past on an unrelated launch and, well, it was there.
The motorsport museum alone could keep a racing geek happy for days - a selection of cars running from Black Beauty, the Kiwi entry from the ill-fated A1GP series, to Porsche 911 GT3s for hot laps and even an ex-Inky Tulloch race truck.
Then there are the photographs - from Waimate to Dunedin, Roycroft to Dixon, it's all there.
The Highland Motorsport Park will be opened on Easter Saturday by Jim Richards and the museum's ribbon will be cut by Sir Colin Giltrap the next day. Already on the roster for the grand opening are Anne Thompson's 1906 Darracq, the McLaren M8 CanAm and Murph's NZ Supertourer and dozens of other race cars. The first lap record will be set by Craig Baird in Quinn's own McLaren MP412C-GT3.

Is there such a thing as a controlled break during the period the Handler calls for birds and the judges release your dog?? I'll shut up now..
drop the team because the handler spoke to the dog before dog was released
carry the team with stern warning
Is there such a thing as a controlled break during the period the Handler calls for birds and the judges release your dog?? I'll shut up now..
Byron, in my experience that is the ONLY time you have a break, controlled or otherwise. Once the dog is released its impossible to break from the judges point of view. Sadly, I have too much experience in this issue. Got dropped once for talking when I told him to sit when I knew he was going to leave, and dropped the next time for a break because I did not say sit.

Thanks Carol, it is prolly a really good thing I am not a judge! How do you conduct a controlled break if you can't talk to the dog?? Step on thier tail?

no forward movement = no break!
saying sit = speaking to dog
speaking to dog = breaking the rules
breaking the rules = consequences!
(I have read this comment several times "the dog is judged on what the judges see, not what the handler thinks" <----- I agree with that, if the dog was judged on what the handler thought then there would be no point of a judge.)
I would also expect that I would be dropped (being new and haven't ran a dog yet) as quickly as some one who has ran a hundred dogs for breaking a rule.

the penalty for either would be the same; a low trainability score. any unsteadiness in the other marking test would be cause to fail the dog for gross unsteadiness.
the fault in either case is the same; unsteadiness. the senior standard allows for some, but it requires that penalty.-Paul
there's no good reason to fatten up a retriever.
I am not a judge and have not even attended a judges seminar so I did not vote. I will say that if I were to speak to my dog at any level of AKC HT after I called for the birds I would expect to be dropped. If I did this and was not dropped I would feel that I had been given a gift to a certain extent. Not that a ribbon would be unearned necessarily, the dog still has to do the work, but I would feel that I had dodged a bullet / judges showed mercy for my dumb/poor/possibly ignorant handling. I have been a recipient of mercy before, so I know what it feels like, but fortunately have not needed it for this issue.

Juli I think you missed the point of the other thread. It was never, for me anyway, about dropping them or not but rather was it a controlled break or just talking to the dog. You do not have to drop a handler for talking to the dog, you may but you do not have too. Likewise you do not have to carry a senior dog for a controlled break, but you may carry that dog.
Classification of Faults
Classification of the many faults which may be exhibited
by retrievers during the course of a hunting test shall be primarily
in terms of generalizations. In the lists which follow,
various infractions are cataloged as I. Serious Faults, II.
Moderate Faults and III. Minor Faults. Each fault should be
considered as a single occurrence, and only to an average
degree. However, such infraction may be so minor in degree
that it scarcely merits the indicated penalty. Conversely, the
degree of a given instance of infraction may be of sufficient
gravity to merit a much more severe penalty that is suggested
— even to the point of elimination from the stake. Also, in
each of these three general categories, all of the faults listed
should not be given equal weight, since they are not of equal
gravity or importance.
Repetition of a fault, particularly time after time, indicates
a "weakness" or a bad habit, and justifies much more penalty
than in an isolated occurrence of this fault. The same
holds true when there is a combination of different faults.
The listing of individual faults within each category has not
been made in the order of their seriousness. A Judge may be
thoroughly justified in moderating a penalty or even in failing
to impose one, if, in his or her opinion, there have been
extenuating circumstances to justify such action.
The faults included in this classification are limited to
those which are observed most often at retriever Hunting
Tests. Others may occur, such as the repeated failure to
exercise gun safety, and this classification may serve as a
helpful guide on such occasions in determining the relative
importance of such unusual offenses.

So, basically, it can be okay to talk to your dog in seniors and not get an immediate dq..but rather you can dinged on trainability. If you have a REALLY good dog, then perhaps as a handler you are wise to use this to your advantage.
I guess to me the rule is more cut and dry..and people should train for it...no talking to the dog to 'steady' them. If the dog breaks and you can get him under control, that shows 'some' trainability.
If the dog is 'dancing' at the line and the handler tells him 'sit', then as a judge do you know how much trainability the dog has (with regards to steadiness)?
Personally, I would not want to take the chance of talking to my dog and be dropped for it, or have it added to a low trainability score.
God answers prayers all the time. Even the ones we don't know we asked. God is Good (always)

Packers 22, Lions 9: Packers still have work to do
2-2 Green Bay gets to next level Sunday
GREEN BAY, Wis. - They are by no means perfect. The Green Bay Packers are aware of this, cognizant of both their emerging strengths and their remaining shortcomings.
And it could be easily argued that they did exactly what they were supposed to do on Sunday: Beat the Detroit Lions at home for the 23rd consecutive time, and for the 14th time in their last 15 tries regardless of locale under head coach Mike McCarthy, when the Lions were without their best player.
And, at 2-2 on the season, they are hardly the class of the NFL at this point, and have plenty of work ahead of them.
Nevertheless, their 22-9 victory at Lambeau Field on a sun-splashed October afternoon was a decided step forward. They overcame their uneven moments. Their defense controlled the line of scrimmage, generated pressure on quarterback Matthew Stafford, weathered more injuries. Their offense stayed patient, again put forth a more than effective running game and made some down-the-field plays through the air as a result. On special teams, their kicker who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn last year was 5 for 5 and remained perfect on the season.
At the quarter pole, the Packers aren't world beaters and they aren't the dregs of the NFC. But it certainly appears they're trending upward as they travel to face the defending Super Bowl-champion Baltimore Ravens in seven days.
"It's time for us to step up and take our game to another level," said McCarthy, whose Packers (2-2) improved to 7-1 in games immediately following the bye during his tenure. "I'll say this about our football team: We've improved every week, and that's what I like about it. But the reality is, we have so much more in front of us. We've got young players that have played more football at this point of the season than we probably expected coming out of training camp, and we will definitely benefit from that coming down the stretch."
The most important development with this team, however, is the legitimate running game that has appeared. A year ago, the Packers were 20th in the 32-team NFL in rushing yards per game (106.5) and 22nd in yards per attempt (3.9). After putting up 180 rushing yards Sunday – two shy of their season high set at Cincinnati in their Sept. 22 pre-bye loss to the Bengals – the Packers are averaging 141.0 yards per game and 5.3 yards per carry.
"There's nothing more fulfilling than seeing all the hard work pay off on Sundays," said right guard T.J. Lang, who won a unanimous decision in his mano-a-mano battle with Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh while left guard Josh Sitton contained Nick Fairley – with both getting help from center Evan Dietrich-Smith. "It seems like together, we're finally starting to jell as a unit rather than being on separate pages. That's something we spend a lot of time throughout the week meeting together, talking about plays and it feels good when you go out and execute."
After a 44-game regular-season streak without an individual 100-yard rusher, the Packers should have had their third straight different 100-yard rusher Sunday. Rookie Eddie Lacy, who suffered a concussion on his first carry against Washington on Sept. 15 and missed the loss to the Bengals, rushed 23 times for 99 yards, nearly joining James Starks (132 yards vs. Washington) and Johnathan Franklin (103 yards against Cincinnati) on the list. He would have made it, too, had his 26-yard run in the fourth quarter not been halved by a holding penalty, or had McCarthy given him the ball on third-and-7 from the Detroit 39 rather than having quarterback Aaron Rodgers kneel down.
"We've come out and we've made the run game a point of emphasis, put a little bit more on our shoulders," said Sitton, who was part of the line shakeup this offseason. "We've done a lot of good things in the run game.
"The communication between the coaches and players has been really good this year, and I think that's one of the biggest things for us. And, it's shown. We've done a couple different things, but we've done what we do – we've just done it better. We've got running backs back there playing with an edge and running the hell out of the ball. It's fun right now."
That ground success – helped by wide receiver Randall Cobb's 67-yard run out of the backfield – led to the Lions (3-2) coming out of their defensive shell and bringing safety help down to defend the run. That, in turn, opened up the passing game, as Rodgers (20 for 30, 274 yards, one touchdown, no interceptions, one sack, 106.8 rating) connected with James Jones on an 83-yard touchdown with 3 minutes 12 seconds left in the third quarter to break open what had been a ho-hum 9-3 game to that point.
"We knew coming in we had to be patient with the way they were going to play, keep chipping away (with) short passes, running the ball. And then the big plays would eventually come," Sitton said. "And they did."
When Detroit declared wide receiver Calvin Johnson out because of knee soreness, the Lions' offense was nearly toothless. When the Packers defense was able to limit resurgent running back Reggie Bush both on the ground (13 carries, 44 yards) and on short passes (four receptions, 25 yards), the Lions never really threatened when the game was in doubt.
"We can't make excuses for ourselves. Whether Calvin is playing or not, we still need to find a way to get it done," Bush said. "This one is on the offense; we'll take it on our shoulders. The defense played well today and we have to do a better job of scoring points and sustaining drives throughout the game to help our defense."
The Packers defense, meanwhile, was part of the reason for that. After allowing quarterback Matthew Stafford to be sacked only three times in the first four games, the Lions gave up five sacks Sunday, all by linebackers: Two by Nick Perry, and one each by Clay Matthews, Brad Jones and Mike Neal.
"Matt had to hold onto the ball to try to get guys open. They did a good job of rushing him and covering," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. "I give them credit. It affected the game. We gave up too much pressure and took too many lost-yardage plays."
The teams will meet again on Thanksgiving Day, and it will be interesting to see which direction each's arrow is pointing. Injuries to Brad Jones (hamstring) and Matthews (broken thumb) are worrisome. But for now, the Packers appear to have a realistic self-image, while also realizing their potential.
"We are what our record is. We're 2-2," said Rodgers, whose team faces back-to-back AFC opponents before a seven-game stretch of NFC opponents, including four against division foes. "We've got five division games (left) in front of us. Tough schedule in front of us, tough challenge next week. It's going to be important for us to win on the road. We're 0-2 on the road and 2-0 at home; we made the most of our homefield advantage but you have to win on the road to make the playoffs.
"It's going to be tough – the health of this football team is going to be very important come November and December for us to make the kind of run we want. We had some setbacks on defense today, so we'll see how they are tomorrow and Tuesday and hopefully get some of those guys back."

Luxury swimwear brand Basta Surf's identity is built on a line of conscientiously-produced beach apparel aimed at discriminating customers. Shoring up that brand identity means that even the hang tags on Basta's products must reflect values of quality, subtlety and an environmentally conscious worldview.
So, when Basta approached its distributor partner with an idea for a seeded hangtag, the rep knew just the right product. She suggested the seeded paper hang tag, an idea that became a resounding success. "They wanted to elevate their brand," the rep says. "They thought that this would be effective in showing their earth consciousness and organic materials."
Basta donates a part of its profits to causes that promote clean water. The company promoted this eco-conscious initiative on the back of the letter-pressed tags. Beyond complementing Basta's environmental efforts, the wildflower-seeded tags promote a free-and-fruitful attitude that is in keeping with Basta's worldview. The rep adds: "It allows the business to show the customer they are thinking of them in other ways than just selling swimwear."
Hosting a company or charity golf tournament? Remember: Gifts and prizes are key to golf events, and in fact, are the reason many people play in events and return again the following year. However, experts say it's important not to skimp on promotional items and giveaways.
Here are four popular areas for gift-giving:
In addition to the gifts above, you'll also need contest prizes for Longest Drive, Closest to the Pin and Hole-in-One. Items to consider for these contests include a branded bicycle and a messenger bag.
No matter the use, be sure all items have high perceived value to match the exclusive feel of the tournaments. Also, consider non-golf items like can coolers, tumblers, stainless-steel bottles, sunglasses, sun screen, folding chairs, umbrellas, sport packs and even tech products. With the amount of time spent on the golf course – minimum four hours – attendees will appreciate power banks for their cellphones.

The NFL was a little more colorful this past weekend, as hundreds of
players wore logoed customized cleats to raise awareness and money for
Players this season have been expressing their personality and
fashion tastes with colorful custom cleats – shoes that would also
violate the NFL dress code and draw a fine. For Week 13 of the football
season, the NFL called a détente on the shoe wars and concocted "My
Cause My Cleats," a campaign designed to raise awareness for different
social causes. More than a third of the league – over 500 players –
donned cleats with custom designs representing a charity or cause of
their choice.
"While there has always been interest and adoption at the youth level
in sports, customized footwear has now taken the main stage in many
verticals such as sports with the NFL's Week 13 efforts or fashion with
UGG stores offering the opportunity on their famous boots," Josh
Ellsworth, general manager of Stahls'(asi/88984) CAD-CUT Direct
division, tells Counselor. Ellsworth noted the increasing demand for
personalization and advances in a number of decoration techniques,
including heat printing, direct-to-garment, UV printing and embroidery.
"They are helping to drive quality products and, therefore, profitable
new sales opportunities for businesses."
Traditionally, NFL players must wear shoes without brand names and
logos (beyond that of the shoe manufacturer) – it's a fine of $6,076 for
first-time infractions and $12,154 for subsequent ones. But the cleats
sported by players last week featured all sorts of colorful logos,
graphics and designs to raise awareness about issues such as domestic
abuse, animal cruelty and rare diseases. NFL Auction has also allowed
bidding on the shoes with 100% of the proceeds benefiting respective
Ellsworth says customized footwear meshes well with the promotional
product industry because it centers on memorability. "Custom branded
shoes can be the next great thing that aligns with a campaign's goals,"
Ellsworth says. "Consider the following opportunities: customized
footwear that supports a special cause for a charity run/walk,
promotional footwear with a 'Kick Cancer' mantra that allows on-demand
customization, promotional sneakers for a company's event staff that
will be on their feet all day or even custom shoes with a player's name,
number, or hashtag."
However, Ellsworth warns that there are challenges to consider.
"Footwear does bring in an element of sizing, so inventory risk for
print on demand or in advance promotional opportunities can be costly,"
he says. "The shoe fits when you have a good understanding of exactly
who your customer is and what size they want."
Here's a look at several of the cleat designs that were worn by the players.

Editor's Note: This is the seventh in an 18-part series about Northeast Mississippi downtowns.
By Errol Castens
Daily Journal
OXFORD – Thirty-something years ago, the new Oxford Mall threatened to empty Oxford's Courthouse Square just as shopping centers had done to many a downtown.
Today, while the mall has ceased to be a retail-and-dining center, the Square has trouble accommodating all its visitors.
"Downtown has survived because in 1981, when the mall came, merchants around the Square got together and said, no, we're not leaving," said Amanda Hyneman, manager of J.E. Neilson Co., a department store in its 175th year.
In the decades since, merchants, restaurateurs, city officials and volunteer committees from planning and preservation commissions to a tourism council have worked to enhance the Square's esthetics and its retail, dining and entertainment mix.
Three of Oxford's last four mayors have been downtown merchants. Pharmacist John Leslie spearheaded a redesign in the 1970s, using traffic islands and one-way streets to tame chaotic traffic and hodgepodge parking, and he pushed the landscaping efforts that today win constant kudos for Billy Lamb and his crew.
Bookseller Richard Howorth, mayor from 2001-2009, strengthened the planning and preservation movements that predecessor Patricia Lamar had promoted. Howorth also shepherded the creation of the now-lauded transit system.
Current Mayor George "Pat" Patterson, a sporting goods retailer, has supported the use of security cameras and a police horse patrol, among other public safety enhancements. Parking management initiated last year may result eventually in a parking garage behind City Hall, and he's also exploring ways to make the Square even more pedestrian-friendly.
What's there
Visitors to William Faulkner's house often make their way to Square Books and its offspring, which feature a substantial Faulkner section, a continual parade of nationally known authors and a weekly live music-and-literature broadcast, "Thacker Mountain Radio." Other retailers include clothing boutiques and art galleries to the venerable Neilson Co. and specialized gift, furnishings and jewelry shops.
With eateries from fine dining to regional traditions, Oxford also has become what the New York Times deemed "a mecca of Southern eats." James Beard Award-winning Chef John Currence first put Oxford on the culinary map in the 1990s by immortalizing shrimp and grits, among other creations, at City Grocery. Bottletree Bakery, Ajax Diner, Bouré and a host of other restaurants add their own flavors.
Nightlife can crowd downtown Oxford even beyond its daytime use. Audiences gather most nights for live music at Proud Larry's, The Lyric Theatre or other venues, and The Lyric hosts frequent charity fundraisers and other community events.
The Double Decker Arts Festival (April 26-27 this year), Lions Club Christmas parade and activities sponsored by the Downtown Council also draw people to the Square.
In the end, downtown Oxford owes much of its success to Ole Miss.
"The heart and soul of why it works is the university," Hyneman said. "Oxford wouldn't be Oxford without the university. It's bringing people here every day."

Dir. Lucio Fulci
The suicide of a priest in a church cemetery in the small town of Dunwich, New England, mysteriously results in the opening of the gates of hell. As fate would have it, it falls upon a reporter, a young psychic, a psychiatrist and his patient to team up and find a way to close the portal before All Saints Day, when the dead will rise and feed upon the living.
A hugely influential and much-admired work of horror cinema by one of the genre's undisputed masters, City Of The Living Dead, taken purely as a stand-alone film, is a must-see horror classic and proves one of the most compelling and disturbing entries in Fulci's undead trilogy. A languid and creepy opening scene sets the tone and mood for the remainder of the film as a priest makes his way slowly through a moody cemetery and takes his own life – his image will haunt the rest of the film, appearing to various people and driving them insane. City of the Living Dead possesses an uneasy, positively queasy atmosphere and the director not only creates a startling and highly nauseating array of provocative imagery to tell his tale, but also employs a striking range of sounds effects; guttural, animalistic and base noises scuttle through the speakers as spooky music by Fabio Frizzi swirls around grunts and groans to upsetting effect.
The film is laced with protracted and drawn-out scenes of squishy violence and bone-cracking brutality. Fulci seems to specialise in churning out extreme and horrific imagery that disgusts, horrifies and repels in equal measure. The director delights in lingering shots depicting viscera and gore seeping and slopping out of hapless victims as they have their heads crushed in or eyes plucked out. The wet, gory effects squirm and slither their way across the screen and Fulci's camera endlessly zooms in and greedily laps up every grim and glistening detail. The effect of much on display in this film is to cause the viewer to recoil in disgust and repulsion – certain images will sear themselves forever into your mind: the sight of a woman regurgitating her own intestines, a group of people trapped in a rain of maggots, various pools of squiming worms, a man having his head drilled in and the endless array of dripping and decomposing zombies that shuffle and clutch ever forward. Fulci also conjures up eerily beautiful moments such as the many shots of the town at night, lit through a constantly swirling fog.
Internal logic is banished and in its place is a series of increasingly nightmarish, odd and skewed moments that thrust the audience into unknown territory: one simply does not feel safe watching City of the Living Dead – it is unpredictable, unfeeling, pessimistic and cold. Fulci offers us only one certainty: no one is safe. Much akin to Takashi Shimizu's Ju-On: The Grudge, and Dario Argento's Inferno, City of the Living Dead features a loosely connected group of people stalked and brutally bumped off by supernatural entities. Fulci does manage to generate overwhelming suspense and unease on a number of occasions too, notably in the scene where psychic Mary (Catriona MacColl) awakens from a trance to discover she's about to be buried alive. Hearing her muffled screams, Peter (Christpher George) begins to hack at the ground and her coffin within it with a pitchfork – narrowly missing her head with each blow. The characters just seem to know what they must do and where they most go to stop the impending apocalypse - psychics and journalists, eh? Their paths all cross eventually and before long, their make-shift Scooby gang are bound for Dunwich to stop the dead returning to eat the living. Cue even more blood-spillage and bone-crackage...
City of the Living Dead is a nightmarish, disturbing and utterly unforgettable film, and must surely rank amongst Fulci's most provocative work.

Steelers to crunch Bengals – MNF Showdown
Posted on 6 Nov 2010 by Chris Palisin.
This is a nasty rivalry as SI cover states… no Christmas cards sent between teams here, and even though teams are separated by 3 games in standings, it's a big game… The Steelers shouldn't have to make-up a fantasy threat out of Cincinnati's recent history. Disregard that 2-5 record Marvin Lewis' team is dragging around. He's the reigning NFL Coach of the Year. The Bengals won ...

quote: to be honest, i could give a shite about winning right now.
quote:the frick?
DWI boy.
quote:If you base your entire thread off of what one dumbass said in a thread that was probably driven by emotion, too much invested in the team, and probalby acholol, your thread is a fail.
Yes. There was a poster yesterday that said its not enough to just win.
No one wants LSU to lose, no one 'hates' Les, he's a good guy. I don't agree with the way he coaches the team in some areas. He probably doesn't give a shit, we get it. But We want him to change and put together a better offense. Other than a few games, we have been looking at a clusterfrick since 2007. It's getting old.
quote:It's easier to pass when there's no pressure of being on your own 5 yard line all day. Or it's easier to run down hill for a score when your D won't let the other team cross mid field. Last year was productive, but you can't say the Offense would have been as productive with out the field position given to them last year. Look what happened when they played a team as strong as them. 1/9 couldn't score...why? Defense wasn't able to help out by wearing down the opponent, or place them in great field position. Plus, we had a couple more guys on the line still around to help protect.
Good god. I hope you are joking. 2011 was the # 2 ALLTIME in passing and rushing TDs ,not defensive or special teams TDs. How soon we forget. Outside of one game and a half last year , our offense was fine. If you can't see this , you don't know football
osition given to them last year. Look what happened when they played a team as strong as them. 1/9 couldn't score...why
See this is totally false. 2011 was LSU's #2 overall offense of all time. Period. These are facts. Les Miles has coached 4 OUT OF THE TOP 5 OFFENSES IN LSU HISTORY. these are facts. The 2011 offense had the 2nd most TDs when ONLY ADDING passing and rushing TDs, but continue to state these false myths on here. They go with all the others like Flynn was a great qb at LSU, TM couldn't cover, and miles' offenses have always sucked. Again 4/5 OF LSU BESTS OFFENSE ARE MILES' Teams.
We are 1-2 in our last 3 games vs. SEC opponents with only one touchdown.
Keep the sunshine pumping.
Also I'm better than you at life
So you wanna fire Miles?

Campus groups raise money for tsunami relief
Posted January 14, 2005; 10:23 a.m.
A variety of campus organizations have been involved in fund-raising efforts to provide aid to countries affected by the Indian Ocean tsunami.
A coalition of student groups called Princeton Tsunami Relief is collecting donations daily at the 100 level of the Frist Campus Center, residential college dining halls and eating clubs. Donations will benefit the International Rescue Committee and CARE USA, which are providing food, water-purification and medical supplies, shelter materials and other emergency supplies to the affected areas.
In conjunction with the Department of Athletics, Princeton Tsunami Relief also is organizing a fund-raising drive at the men's basketball game against Haverford at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 24, at Jadwin Gym. Fans who donate $10 or more will receive free tickets and a free snack at the concession stand. For more information on the ticket promotion, contact Brie Galicinao.
In addition to the fund-raising efforts, the Religious Life Council sponsored an interfaith vigil, "One Human Family," on Thursday, Jan. 13, in the University Chapel.
On Saturday, Jan. 8, Princeton Tsunami Relief sponsored a fund-raising event at Frist, which included informational tables on the areas and people affected by the Dec. 26 tragedy, relief efforts and photos and video footage from the disaster. The event also featured live entertainment and a panel discussion on the disaster that included faculty members Stephen Macedo, director of the University Center for Human Values, and John Suppe, professor of geosciences.
In addition, the Manna Christian
Fellowship donated the proceeds from its "Musical Winterlude"
