Major: English
Year of Graduation: 1987
Graduate Degree: Master's in Counseling
Job Title: Academic Advisor
Please give a brief description of your current position and where you're working.
I work as an academic advisor at Inver Hills Community College in Inver Grove Heights. I help students understand college requirements, register & choose the correct courses, make long term academic plans to graduate or transfer. I also counsel students on probation and at-risk to help them improve their grades and make better academic choices.
What path did you follow to arrive at your current job?
My first job after graduating from St. Benedict's was working as an administrative assistant in an advertising office. I then taught English in Japan for two years. When I came back to the US, I did some temp work and also worked as administrative assistant for the academic advising department at a for-profit, distance learning university - Walden University. After two years, I was promoted into an advising position at Walden on the condition that I complete a Master's degree. After a few years, I was promoted to Assoc. Director of Enrollment for Walden University.
I then applied for a temporary academic advising position at Metropolitan State University. This is a state university that is part of the MN State Colleges and University (MNSCU) system. I wanted to work with a more "traditional" student population. Metropolitan State was a good option with lots of non-traditional adult students and online programs, but it was a traditional university in the sense that it had actual courses to register for and a campus, unlike Walden. After a year, I was hired permanently and worked there for four more years at the College of Management. During that time I was asked to be the interim director of advising while my boss was on leave. This gave me the courage to apply for my next position as Director of IT Career Development for a center of excellence in the MNSCU system. After eight years, I wanted to go back to having more contact with students and so applied and was selected for an academic advising position at Inver Hills Community College.
What advice/suggestions would you have for students who might be interested in your career?
Working with students and helping them succeed can be very rewarding. I feel like I am making a difference in their lives. However, don't expect to ever be making six figures in this type of position! . Academic Advising can have different titles, different responsibilities and different pay scales depending on where you work, so it is important to check into the organizations. Some places have full time professional academic advisors, other places use teaching faculty to offer some advising on the side. At some places a full- time academic advisor is considered faculty, and other places they are not. Community colleges may have different expectations and pay scales than universities for advisors. Most likely, you will need a master's degree in counseling or student affairs/student services. No matter what job you want, it is a good idea to conduct informational interviews with a variety of people in advising positions at different types of schools.
What skills are important in your field?
- Counseling skills, good listening, working with people
- Being detail oriented - giving accurate information, follow through
- Problem solving, good at "detective" work - looking up information, data analysis,
- Time management
- Creativity
- Being a team player
- Resilience and learning balance in my life
- Presentation skills - you may be required to give presentations to small or large groups of students.
- Excellent written and verbal (and non-verbal) communication skills. Good writing is important. Advisors have a lot of correspondence with students, so you need to be clear and easily understood. Additionally, you may need to create documents, forms, and possibly handbooks for use in your job.
- For most of these types of positions, a master's degree is required.
What activities/experiences were helpful at CSB/SJU (and elsewhere) in preparation for this career?
Theater classes and being in productions helped me be comfortable in front of groups, and be a more dynamic presenter. Study abroad programs were important to learn what it feels like to be part of another culture. Student employment as a writing tutor and teacher's assistant helped me learn how to teach and work with students. Generally, attending college gave me important experiences that help me relate to other college students and I use examples from my college experiences when I work with students on probation or at-risk.
What is the most satisfying/rewarding part of your job?
- Meeting many different types of people and learning about their career and life goals.
- Helping to make sense of curriculum requirements and solve problems so that students feel more comfortable and able to succeed.
- Working with other faculty and staff to come up with better ways to assist students and identify how to make them more successful.
- Creating new programs and processes that make systems more efficient and effective.
- Seeing a student who is struggling learn to be more successful and then graduate.
- Helping students overcome their fears about education.

Deforestation: Solved via carbon markets?
California's carbon pricing eyed as new motivator to saving tropical rainforests
Cristina Mittermeier
Deforestation is responsible for nearly 15% of the world's greenhouse gases. But, in many tropical nations, it is more economical to cut down forests than protect them.
At EDF, we want to transform the profit motive and make forests more valuable alive than dead. Doing so would be one of the most efficient ways to lower global emissions in a way that protects the livelihoods of indigenous communities.
That's the driving idea behind a global policy effort we helped pioneer, known as REDD+, or reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.
How it works: In a REDD+ program, a state, jurisdiction or country that commits to reducing deforestation below an established baseline would receive valuable credits to sell in carbon markets.
Who will buy the forest credits?
Photo credit: Cristina Mittermeier
Around the world, REDD+ programs are getting off the ground, including in the states of Acre, Brazil, and Chiapas, Mexico. We have partners and staff working in both countries, assisting with the launches.
For these programs to succeed, they will need financial incentives.
A major potential partner: California. The state's groundbreaking cap-and-trade market launched in 2013, with help from EDF.
Impressively, it's now the second-largest carbon market in the world. But it will have even more impact if it connects with efforts happening elsewhere.
The knowledge to make it happen
There are many complexities to establishing markets that operate fairly, openly and efficiently.
So, to help streamline this process, an expert working group, including EDF's tropical forest director Steve Schwartzman, released comprehensive recommendations in 2013 for how California could incorporate REDD+ credits into its cap-and-trade system. The REDD+ participants must show they they've reduced deforestation jurisdiction-wide and below historical levels.
Going forward, EDF will work with community partners, policymakers and carbon market experts in the hopes of adding REDD+ to the California system.
Help us save more forests
California leads the U.S. in progressive climate change policies. Now it can go global.
"California can establish itself as a world leader in curbing deforestation," explained Derek Walker, EDF's Climate and Energy Associate Vice President. "We want to usher in an era of collaboration."

Smoked sausage and cheese mingle in this crowd-pleasing Italian penne pasta bake. Delizioso!
Pasta shapes besides penne work in this casserole. Elbow macaroni, medium shells, radiatore, rotini and cavatappi are all fine choices.
We've used cooked, smoked sausage in this upscale macaroni and cheese to give it a subtle smoky flavor. Reduced-fat smoked sausage, turkey sausage or kielbasa sausage work, too.
Sub this topping for the Parmesan and Italian seasoning combo: 1/4 cup Progresso Italian-style bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine.

As of Jan. 1, 2012, they're gone: the U.S. soldiers who walked and drove, fought and bled, cursed, joked, cried, screamed, negotiated, interrogated, smoked, slept, ate, defecated, exercised, and did much else all across Iraq for the preceding 8 years, 9 months, and 12 days—ever since Operation Iraqi Freedom began on March 19, 2003.
The giant forward operating bases they created—mini-Americas complete with PXs as stocked as your average Walmart, chow halls and gyms as big as airplane hangars, coffee bars and fast-food restaurants straight out of your local mall, even cops with radar guns manning speed traps—all will either stand shuttered or be occupied by the Iraqis. Before long, one suspects, many of them will fade into the desert whence they rose, like a giant mirage. The passions aroused by their presence—the arguments between pro- and antiwar advocates that defined American politics as recently as 2008, when Barack Obama's opposition to the war carried him to the Democratic nomination and then to the presidency—have already faded, replaced by a pervasive sense of numbness and exhaustion. The notoriously fickle media spotlight moved on long ago to fresh wars (Afghanistan, Libya), fresh political developments (the Arab Spring), fresh disasters (the debt crises in Italy and Greece—and America).
It's far too soon to say definitively what U.S. troops did or did not accomplish in Mesopotamia. Were the sacrifices of more than 4,400 service members' lives and the wounding of more than 32,000 others worthwhile? The answer will not be obvious for years to come, as the ripples of America's presence slowly fade and Iraqi politics finds its own equilibrium—or doesn't. The Korean War hardly looked like a success in 1953, when the guns went silent on a deadlocked peninsula. Nearly 60 years on, with South Korea having become one of the freest and most prosperous countries in the world, the outcome looks rather better. Contrariwise, as eager as some Americans may have been to claim victory in Vietnam by the time they left in 1973, Hanoi's capture of Saigon two years later made a mockery of such boasts.

In the wake of Sunday's tentative deal between the National Hockey League and the NHL Players' Association on a new collective agreement several Canadiens players spoke to the media Monday about the shortened season that looms ahead and the prospect of playing again.
"This is the day I've been dreaming of for the past couple of months," said Habs forward Max Pacioretty before hitting the ice at an arena in Candiac on Montreal's South Shore.
Pacioretty was one of more than a dozen players, not all of them Habs, who practised in Candiac, including captain Brian Gionta, forward Travis Moen and defenceman Francis Bouillon.
"It's going to be a great feeling to finally strap on the skates with the boys again," Pacioretty said. "And we owe our fans a big show and we owe them a great season. So hopefully we can get off on the right track and do that for them."
You can hear more from Pacioretty here:
Forward Brandon Prust, who signed with the Habs as a free agent last summer, also had some words for fans, noting "they stood behind us and they stuck this out. We hope they come back."
"We're going to put a good product out on the ice for them. You don't want to miss a game this year because it's going to be high intensity and very passionate," Prust added. "The boys are itching to go and I hope the fans are too."
You can hear more of his comments here:
A week ago, Canadiens goalie Carey Price figured the NHL season was going to be cancelled, telling The Gazette's Dave Stubbs: "I didn't think we were going to play, I was just about ready to mail it in."
Things obviously changed and Price was left scrambling to get back to Montreal.
"Just packing up my equipment," Price told Stubbs late Sunday night from Washington state, organizing his life at the home of the parents of his fiancée, Angela. "I've got it all at the house. I've kept it here the last little while in case we needed to get on the move. I'm ready to go."
You can read Stubbs's column on Price by clicking here.
Meanwhile, the gambling website Bodog.ca has listed the Canadiens as 30-1 longshots to win the Stanley Cup. The Pittsburgh Penguins are the favourites at 8-1. Read more by clicking here.

Andersen hires assistant to replace Boulware
Jeff Genyk will coach tight ends, special teams
MADISON - Wisconsin head coach Gary Andersen announced the hiring of Jeff Genyk on Tuesday. Genyk will coach tight ends and oversee the Badgers' special teams after spending the last three seasons as an assistant coach at California.
"We're very excited to have Jeff, his wife, Lisa, and their two children, Jake and McKenna, become a part of the Badger family," Andersen said. "He's been a tight ends coach and special teams coordinator at the BCS level, as well as having head coach experience, so that made him a very attractive candidate. I'm extremely pleased we were able to get a tremendous coach like Jeff, especially given the timing of this transition."
Genyk comes to UW from Nevada, where he briefly served as the special teams coordinator and running backs coach. During his time at Cal, Genyk served as the Bears' special teams coordinator and tight ends coach. He led a dramatic improvement in the Cal special teams units, including back-to-back first-team All-Pac 12 selections at kicker and punter.
Genyk tutored punter Bryan Anger to first-team all-conference honors in 2011 and helped Anger become a Ray Guy semifinalist. Anger was drafted in the third round of the 2012 NFL draft - the highest selection for a punter over the past 17 years. Anger is one of just two Cal players in history to earn all-conference honors in three straight seasons.
Cal kicker Giorgio Tavecchio earned first-team all-conference honors under Genyk's guidance in 2011 and his successor, Vincenzo D'Amato, followed suit for Genyk and the Bears in 2012. Genyk also guided punt returner Keenan Allen to a 14.1 ypr. average, which was tops in the Pac-12 and fifth nationally.
Before going to Cal, Genyk served as the head coach at Eastern Michigan from 2004-08. He coached the Eagles to their best conference finish in seven years in 2004 with a third-place showing in the West Division of the MAC. His 2006 squad ranked third nationally in punt return yardage defense (3.1 ypr.) and 15th in the nation (5.7 ypr.) the following season. Eastern Michigan also set three NCAA passing records as well as multiple MAC and school records during his tenure.
While at Eastern Michigan Genyk coached three players (LB Daniel Holtzclaw, DE Jason Jones, PK Andrew Wellock) who earned All-American recognition. Jones was a second-round selection of the Tennessee Titans in the 2008 NFL Draft while Wellock was a finalist for the 2004 Lou Groza Award. He also coached OT T.J. Lang, who was selected by Green Bay in the fourth round of the 2009 NFL Draft.
Genyk previously spent 12 seasons at Northwestern (1994-2003), with responsibility for the special teams unit during each of his final five campaigns with the Wildcats. He began his coaching career as an assistant at Grand Rapids Community College in Michigan, where he worked with quarterbacks and tight ends from December 1990 through the spring of 1992.
A native of Milan, Mich., Genyk was an all-state quarterback at Milan High School before moving on to Bowling Green State, where he played quarterback and also served as the punter.

On 24 June the international Convention 'Sustainable Transport: Energy, Health and the Environment. Problems and solutions' took place in Rome. The convention hase been organised, with the contribution of Pirelli, by VERT – Verification of Emission Reduction Technologies – the international scientific association for the control of polluting emissions.
During the course of her opening address the Minister for the Environment, presented a national Government plan for the fight against smog containing severe and rigorous measures. The measure against heavy transport, which is the most urgent and will be enacted by a decree of law, is constituted by a system of filters to be installed in diesel engined commercial vehicles, which permit the investment of one euro to gain five in terms of social and health costs, given that those vehicles represent 60% of traffic smog.
"Anti-particulate filters represent the most immediate and effective anti-smog system now available. In Lombardy, 7,000-8,000 vehicles among trucks and buses are fitted with such filters, against 1,500 in the rest of Italy", said Bruno Tronchetti Provera, president of VERT and managing director of Pirelli Eco Technology, the Pirelli Group company active in the sector of technology for the control of emissions.

The preliminary final harvest numbers compiled by WDNR are posted on charlie elk I am going to tease them a little here because I am attempting to help get the word out about the Talk'n Turkey Expo. What do the harvest stats have to do with the turkey expo? Well not a lot directly. However, by keeping the chart of age, sex and zone kill stats only on my site for the moment- the search engines should point to it whenever a turkey hunter searches for these stats and the Talk'n Turkey link is right below em.
As of now, I think, I am the only outsider with these stats, so please check them out for yourselves to help ticklishpro promote the expo.
Hope I am not irritating anyone too much, it is for a good cause.

I jumped full steam into Ultra running just last year. I did the normal progression for marathon: 50K to 50 mile to 100 miler, however I tried to do it all in the manner of months. This turned out to be too much, too soon and led to several 100-miler DNFsL My wife kept telling me that MMT would be my first 100 mile finish – obviously since it would be the hardest one. Everything seemed to be going well leading up to the race. I had a good spring with many races and remained injury free (other than the knee banging at Bel Monte), I got in several really strong 100+ mile weeks of training and I actually took it easy the week leading up to MMT. So there would be no excuses…
I decided to do the race solo because 1) I had no crew and did not want to subject Anne to driving around the GW Forest roads chasing me around the mountains and 2) I seem to do better when I just focus on the run and not worrying about a crew, logistics, etc. I headed out to the race site at the Caroline Furnace Lutheran Camp on Friday afternoon, got my packet, ate some dinner, pitched a tent in the muddy field/parking lot and tried to get some sleep. I awoke around 3 AM to the sound of 80's music blaring from the start line. I got my stuff together and lined up to for the 4 AM start.
The race started on a 3.6 mile road section. Dave Ploskonka led the pack; with consensus picks for a 1-2-3 finish, Karl Meltzer, Neal Gorman, and David Frazier right behind. I stayed with a pack not far behind the front runners with a group that included Keith Knipling, Jason Lantz and Evan Cestari.. As we entered the trail up Short Mountain things began to thin out. The rain the night before led to some slippery rocks and the fog in the early morning darkness did make it a little hard to navigate. I was happy with the pace through this section though and just started to feel like I was waking up as I hit the first aid station where I had a drop bag; just before mile 20.
I downed my first bottle of Ensure, changed out my empty gels, and headed back out. It started to get very humid, so I decided to shed my shirt at the next aid station and upped my intake of liquids and salt. The next 30 or so miles went very smooth. I ran with several other runners, eventually working my way up to 6th place. I ran a good portion of this section with Mike Mason, and had a good time chatting with him as we moved along the course.
|Early in the Race feeling good!

I ran with several other runners, eventually working my way up to 6th place. I ran a good portion of this section with Mike Mason, and had a good time chatting with him as we moved along the course.
We hit the half-way point in about 9:30. I still felt pretty good. If I was smart it looked like I definitely could go sub-24 and possibly break 22 hours. I decided to get a little more conservative with the second half of the race as I wanted to make sure I finished well (and simply finished). I took it easy on the uphills and with my quads starting to "fire-up," I didn't force the downhills too much, but still ran everything that was relatively flat.
|Coming into Camp Roosevelt
At Camp Roosevelt (mile 63) I had my first relatively "low" point of the race. Nothing too bad, just a little low on energy; I took in some extra calories and before I knew it I was in-and-out of Gap Creek 1 and on my way up Jaw Bone. I was very glad to be running this section in the daylight, as the top of Kerns Mountain is one of the more difficult sections of the course. It is full of little ups-and-downs and is very rocky – seemingly lasting forever. I made it through this section and into Visitor Center Aid Station feeling pretty good. On the way up to Bird Knob, Eva Pastalkova came bouncing by me – smile on her face, looking like she hadn't yet run a mile, let alone 80. She is a really strong runner and I would end up never getting any closer than within about 5 minutes of her the rest of the race as she went on to smash the women's course record.
By now it was dark, my quads were very sore and this was farther than I have ever run. I knew I was on pace to finish very well and just needed to keep moving forward. I shortened my stride a bit and kept on going. At the aid stations, everyone was telling me how "great" I looked compared to everyone else. I did feel pretty good, but I knew I was not moving any faster than anyone else and did not want to screw anything up by pushing myself any harder. I just wanted to enjoy finishing my first 100.
As I hit Gap Creek II, and started up Jaw Bone for the second time I ran into Dave Yeakel, who was on his way up for the first time. I met him at one of my previous DNFs, and he asked how things were going (thinking I was on my first climb as well). When I told him I was glad to be within 6 miles of the finish, he was surprised and told me how happy he was for me. This gave a little surge of confidence and I picked up the pace a bit as I came down from Jaw Bone and onto the last section of road.
I crossed the finish line in 22:45 – Kevin Sayers, the race director, was there to shake my hand and confirm that I was in the Solo Division – "Did you use any headphones?" "No" – "congratulations you are the Solo Champ!" This came as a surprise and was a great way to top off the run. I immediately sat down had some soup and a grilled cheese before hiking up to the showers.
At about 3:30 AM I crawled into my tent, but was not able to sleep much with my legs twitching and turning. A few hours later, Anne showed up with fresh coffee and donuts, I was so glad to see her. We went down and watched the other runners finish for a few hours and had a good time talking with other runners and enjoying the beautiful weather. I have nothing but respect for everyone who finishes MMT; it is a challenging course that requires true patience and endurance. Also, I have to thank Kevin Sayers and all the support crew and volunteers throughout the day and night who put on a wonderful event.
|Solo Division Award
Lingering Thoughts and Lessons Learned: Me to Karl - "How do you run so fast on those rocks?" Karl's response - "practice." His accomplishments are really amazing - thirty 100-miler wins, 12 straight years with a 100 mile win, 3 MMT victories (most all time), and the list goes on...
My nutrition worked well for this race. My stomach was great all day. I drank about 5 bottles of Ensure and supplemented it with vanilla gels. The only solid food I had was some soup, boiled potatoes and little pieces of PB&J, but this was much later in the race when I was moving slower and knew I could digest it. I also drank as much as I could. Mostly water, but I did mix in some Gatorade and took salt tabs at every aid station. My shoes did not hold up too well. I wore the MT 101s and felt fine in them, but they were chewed up (soles ripping off, and cuts in the fabric) and my feet were pretty swollen. However, I did not have any blisters and I did not fall once:)
It was also good to have a plan in my head for this race and be knowledgeable of what to expect on the last half of the course. I had the second half of the course broken down so well in my mind that as I reached my "little goals" along the way, I knew I just kept getting closer to the finish. Also at night, the more light you have the better – I didn't pick up my hand-held flashlight until the last section – having more light definitely makes it easier to navigate on the rocks and boosts your confidence. This is also a course that requires a lot of experience and practice on technical terrain. I wish I had more of it heading in, as I feel it would have made my time better. But I am happy with my performance, and I know I can only improve at this distance and as an Ultra runner in general.

Robert Pirsig
Date Of Birth:
6 September 1928
Place Of Birth:
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Robert Pirsig wrote the 1974 bestseller Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. The book was Pirsig's account of a cross-country motorcycle trip with his 11-year-old son Chris, with Pirsig using the trip as a springboard for meditations on religion, philosophy and the meaning of life. (Pirsig previously had undergone electroshock therapy, and in the book he refers to his former self as "Phaedrus," after the character created by Plato.) According to Pirsig, 121 publishers turned down Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance before it was published by Morrow in 1974; the book became a surprise hit and a perennial favorite in high school and college English classes across America. In 2001 Pirsig published his second book, Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals.
Extra Credit
Pirsig's son Chris was murdered in a street mugging in San Francisco in 1979… According to the publisher HarperCollins, Pirsig "studied chemistry and philosophy (B.A., 1950) and journalism (M.A., 1953) at the University of Minnesota and also attended Benares Hindu University in India where he studied Oriental philosophy."

There's more to grilling than burgers and hot dogs. Think vegetables, fruit, beans, and cheese, and open up a whole world of unexpected dinner options. These recipes will inspire you to fire up the grill—even on Meatless Mondays.
Pizza may not be the first thing you think of for the grill, but it grills beautifully and is easily topped with a variety of meatless options. Here, grilled beets and their greens are surprisingly delicious toppings.
view recipe
Forget beef burgers. Chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and lemon come together here in creamy, hearty bean burgers that taste like a cross between hummus and falafel.
Halloumi, a goat and sheep's milk cheese, is perfect for grilling: It softens over the heat but doesn't melt. This cheese plate, complete with grilled grapes and rustic bread, is an elegant way to start off a special-occasion meal.
A good dose of chili powder adds smoky flavor to quickly made grits. Grilled corn and tomatoes, along with Cheddar, make this a rich main course.
Grilled vegetables—that summer side dish staple—easily become a satisfying main course when turned into a vibrant sauce for spaghetti.
Extra-firm tofu is meaty and filling, and absorbs the flavors of a marinade, making it a fine addition to summer kebabs, whether you're a strict vegetarian or just an occasional one.
Skip ordering the veggie-lovers pizza at your local pizza joint, and put this one on your grill instead.
What do you make when Meatless Monday falls on Mexican Night? Generously-stuffed tacos! Zucchini and the Mexican squash make up the filling for these tacos.
If you grill three out of four seasons, you've got to keep it interesting. Skip the meat aisle, head to the produce section, and grill up some portabella mushrooms for a fresh change from the burgers everyone expects.
Don't let vegetables have all the fun. Incorporating grilled fruit into a salad is a great way to keep dinner interesting. Here, reduced balsamic vinegar adds a tangy kick to peaches that are grilled to bring out their inherent sweetness.
You won't find a pizza like this at Sal's. After having intensely-flavored olive tapenade, sweet roasted Vidalia onions, and tangy crumbled blue cheese on your grilled pizza, you may never go back to your old pepperoni routine.
The best dinner salads have three key characteristics: contrasting textures, complimentary flavors, and an element of surprise. Adding a starch, like the couscous here, turns a grilled salad into a more substantial dish.
Grilling is the perfect way to showcase eggplant's earthy flavor and meaty texture. Add a bold vinaigrette to those thick slices of eggplant, and you've got a dish that satisfies.

CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY: Clinical psychologists assess and treat people with psychological problems. They may act as therapists for people experiencing normal psychological crises (e.g., grief) or for individuals suffering from chronic psychiatric disorders. Some clinical psychologists are generalists who work with a wide variety of populations, while others work with specific groups like children, the elderly, or those with specific disorders (e.g., schizophrenia). They are trained in universities or professional schools of psychology. They may be found working in academic settings, hospitals, community health centers, or private practice. (See also Counseling Psychology.)
COUNSELING PSYCHOLOGY: Counseling psychologists do many of the same things that clinical psychologists do. However, counseling psychologists tend to focus more on persons with adjustment problems rather than on persons suffering from severe psychological disorders. They may be trained in Psychology Departments or in Schools of Education. Counseling psychologists are employed in academic settings, community mental health centers, and private practice. (See also Clinical Psychology.)
Not to be confused with the field of psychology, psychiatry is its own medical specialty. There are psychiatry staffing companies that can help psychiatrists of all sub-specialties find contract and temporary job placements. --Monroe & Weisbrod: A Psychiatry-Specific Physician Recruitment Firm
DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY: Developmental psychologists study how we develop intellectually, socially, and emotionally over the lifespan. Some focus on just one period of life (e.g., childhood or adolescence). Developmental psychologists usually do research and teach in academic settings, but many act as consultants to day care centers, schools, or social service agencies.
EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY: Educational psychologists are concerned with the study of human learning. They attempt to understand the basic aspects of learning and then develop materials and strategies for enhancing the learning process. For example, an educational psychologist might study reading and then develop a new technique for teaching reading. They are typically trained in Schools of Education and employed in academic settings. (See also School Psychology.)
EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY: This area includes a diverse group of psychologists who do research in the most basic areas of psychology (e.g., learning, memory, cognition, perception, motivation, and language). Their research may be conducted with animals instead of humans. Most of these psychologists work in academic settings.
FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY: Forensic psychologists are involved in analyzing crime evidence and aiding law enforcement agencies in criminal investigations. See the brochure from the Psychology and Law division of the American Psychological Association, on this site, for useful information.
HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY: Health psychologists are concerned with psychology's contributions to the promotion and maintenance of good health and the prevention and treatment of illness. They may design and conduct programs to help individuals stop smoking, lose weight, manage stress, and stay physically fit. They are employed in hospitals, medical schools, rehabilitation centers, public health agencies, academic settings, and private practice.
HUMAN FACTORS PSYCHOLOGY: Human Factors researchers study the human/machine interface. They may help make appliances such as cameras user-friendly, or they may do studies of safety-related issues in the design of machinary, airplane controls and instrument layouts, or they may do basic research on human perceptual and motor abilities as they relate to the operation of machines, computers, and other mechanical devices.
INDUSTRIAL/ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY: Industrial/organizational psychologists are primarily concerned with the relationships between people and their work environments. They may develop new ways to increase productivity or be involved in personnel selection. They are employed in business, government agencies, and academic settings.
PHYSIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY: Physiological psychologists study the physiological correlates of behavior. They study both very basic processes (e.g., how brain cells function) and more readily observable phenomena (e.g., behavioral changes as a function of drug use or the biological/genetic roots of psychiatric disorders). Most are employed in academic settings.
SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY: School psychologists are involved in enhancing the development of children in educational settings. They assess children's psychoeducational abilities and recommend actions to facilitate student learning. They are typically trained in Schools of Education and work in public school systems. They often act as consultants to parents, teachers, and administrators to optimize the learning environments of specific students. (See also Educational Psychology.)
SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY: Social psychologists study how our beliefs, feelings, and behaviors are affected by other persons. Some topics of interest to social psychologists are attitude formation and change, aggression, prejudice, and interpersonal attraction. Most social psychologists work in academic settings, but some work in federal agencies and businesses doing applied research.

Because of its depth of flavor, dark-meat chicken clearly wins out over easy-to-dry-out white meat. It also has more intramuscular fat and more collagen. The result is juicier, more mouthwatering meat. But one of the problems that often confronts the chicken griller is that by the time the dark meat is cooked through, the outside is incinerated. Quick-clinching, however, sets the crust and begins the rapid transfer of heat into the meat, and then the superheated steam from the plank finishes the job. Don't misunderstand me—I have nothing against white meat, as in a perfectly roasted chicken—but in the world of barbecue, dark meat is my favorite!
Combine all the ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Transfer to a bowl or other container and allow to cool, then refrigerate overnight before using.
Tie the herb sprigs around the handle of a wooden spoon, or a long-handled carving fork with kitchen twine.
Put the chicken legs in a large heavy-duty plastic bag or a large bowl and add the brine. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for 3 hours.
Drain the chicken (discard the brine) and pat lightly dry with paper towels. Allow to come to room temperature, approximately 30 minutes.
Prepare a "mature and level" coal bed: lightly tamp the hot coals down to a uniform height of 4 to 6 inches. A cast-iron skillet or a roasting pan will serve you well for this task. If you like, place a clean thin grate or rack directly on the coals; the fire should be very hot. Just before placing the meat on the coals (or grate), use a hair dryer or a piece of cardboard to fan the coals sufficiently to clear away bits of ash.
Season the chicken legs all over with the seasoning blend, then lightly moisten your hands with water and work the seasonings into the chicken. Allow to stand for 5 minutes to develop a "meat paste."
Moisten the chicken legs on all sides with the butter baste, using the herb brush. Put the chicken legs skin side down on the grill grate or directly on the coals and cook, without moving them, for 2 minutes. Turn them, baste lightly, and cook for 2 minutes, then repeat two more times, basting the chicken each time it is flipped.
Transfer the chicken legs to a platter, skin side up, and baste generously. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Remove the grill grate, if you used it. Baste the chicken legs and put 2 legs side by side on each plank. Put the planks on the coal bed with some coals on the exposed corners of the planks and then cover with a grill lid, a large metal bowl, or a domed lid. Cook and smoke for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the juices run clear when a chicken thigh is pierced with a fork.
Mix the olive oil, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste directly on the board. Finely chop the tip of the herb brush and mix
the herbs into the dressing.
Transfer the chicken legs to the cutting board, turning them in the
dressing to coat, then turn skin side up. Sprinkle with the tarragon and
allow to rest for 3 minutes.
To serve, arrange the chicken on plates and finish with a sprinkling of the salt.

Certainly something that would lower your FA value the last time around. Best I can tell he's been clean from a legal standpoint for the last few years, but not sure he's the clean cut fit that we keep hearing Philbin likes.

Ok, now this show is cheesy, hasn't changed much in 20 years, and gets people to act like complete fools sometimes, but is this show great or what? There are a ton of different games varying from ridiculously simple to complicated to just plain fun (Plinko obviously being the best), and even the item bidding to get on stage to play a game wins someone a prize EVERY TIME! There's the famous catch-phrases like "____ ____, come on down!!!" and "please remember to spay and neuter your pets". There's Rod Roddy's hideously-fascinating outfits, the somehow never quite dressed models, and Bob Barker's thin little microphone. Then there's the showcase showdown, where a giant wheel can make grown men squeel with glee as that magical one dollar comes rolling around; the only part of the show that doesn't quite deliver IMO is the actual final showcase game between the two winners of the two showcase showdowns, somehow the showcases are never quite grand enough and the bidders NEVER bid within the $250 difference to get both showcases. Sure, this show is low-brow and basically just a string of ads for various products, but I bet when you're sick at home and you flip CBS on, nothing's quite as fun as watching some grandmother ravage poor lanky, gaunt Bob Barker with hugs and kisses as she wins a bottle of ketchup, a new stereo, and a pair of jet-skis... and heads on over to the big wheel. Sure, Jeopardy tests brains, Who Wants to be a Millionaire has high-tech lights and music, and the New Hollywood Squares has replaced the late Paul Lynde with the not-so-late Bruce Valanche, but I bet TPIR is the game show that's still gets you to cheer whenever Rod Roddy exclaims "it's a brand new car!"
Am I wrong or am I right?

Many dogs are trained and handled to a qualifying 1st or 2nd by a pro.
Every time I think about entering a Qual I look and see the Pros entered and think why brother.
The biggest battle cry one constantly hears about FT's is "getting new/young people invloved". The 2 quotes above come from the original "What's the point" thread. In my opinion, the 2 quotes above say a lot about that "cry" for new blood.
I respect the young dog trainers who run the minor stakes, please don't get me wrong, but I just don't understand why, as an owner, you would do this. The only reason that comes to mind is that the trial is in the South for a northern owner or the North for a southern owner.
Is there pressure when you run a minor stake? As a new owner/young blood to the sport you bet there is. However, there isn't a better place in the FT game to get your feet underneath you and gain control of your emotions than the minor stakes.
Don't sit on the side lines any longer. Get out there and play the game. Have fun, have failures as well that will make those successes all the more sweeter!!

March madness, sadness and gladness
More infrastructure work is being done in Port Clinton. Waterline replacement work on Maple Street started on Monday. Ed Burdue is the subcontractor for this work. Due to the age of the water-main infrastructure in the area, it is possible for sudden water loss due to depressurization of the water mains as crews connect existing lines to the new water mains being installed. The City may have to issue boil water advisories to the homes and businesses affected. They will be lifted as soon as testing results allow. Questions can be directed to City Hall at 419-734-5522.

As of the end of May, 6.7 million more individuals were enrolled in Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) as compared to the baseline period from July through September 2013, an increase of 11.4 percent. That includes more than 920,000 additional people enrolled in May as compared to April in the 48 states and the District of Columbia that reported data.
As we've seen for months, growth was more pronounced in 26 states (including the District of Columbia) that had adopted and implemented the Medicaid expansion by the end of May. Enrollment in those states rose by 17 percent, while states that have not expanded reported only a 3 percent increase.
The Affordable Care Act provides states with new opportunities to expand their Medicaid programs to meet the needs of more residents. In states that expanded Medicaid, most people with incomes up to 133 percent of the Federal Poverty Level, or $15,521 for an individual and $31,721 for a family of four, are eligible for coverage.
This month, for the first time, we are also reporting separately the total number of children enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP for those states that are reporting the relevant data for each month in 2014. In the 38 states that reported relevant data, more than half of all Medicaid and CHIP enrollees are children, highlighting the importance of these programs to the health and well-being of our nation's children.
Under the Affordable Care Act, coverage for the new low-income adult group is fully paid for during the first three years by the federal government, and federal funding for this group will never fall below 90 percent for the years following. Increasing access to Medicaid coverage reduces the amount of uncompensated care provided by hospitals, lowers "cost shifting" to businesses that see higher health insurance premiums (as some of the costs of caring for the uninsured are passed on to those businesses), and strengthens local economies.
The open enrollment period for private health plans through the federal or state Health Insurance Marketplaces has ended for this year. Nevertheless, consumers may still apply for Medicaid and CHIP coverage year round and, once enrolled, can use this coverage right away.

It has been a while since I last updated this diary, so here it goes. After a three and a half year relationship, Lorna and I have split up. Although some feelings are still there we hope to be good friends again in the future.
Development of WOPN's new interface is beginning. We have a long way to go, but development needs to be under two months if we are going to time this right. Recent developments with other websites have pushed the issue a bit faster than we may have liked, but it is atleast a definate motivation. Bevin, with the aid of his project RIFE, has volunteered to lead the back-end, but new contracts may have forced him out. I am not sure what we will do. However, before the first line of code is drawn, we need to get down all the features we want first

Some games don't work because they still try and set the geometry in a pixel-oriented fashion, but most seem to work. I'm working through those issues now and once done will move onto the actual cards themselves which should now be straight-forward. Unfortunately real life keeps seeming to interpose itself between me and hacking, but thats not all bad.

where do you come up with a ludicrous statement like that. as a former IBM stock holder that is totally false. I am fairly sure the other companies can all show they paid Federal taxes too...the ONLY part of your statement that may be true is that the global giants made billions...Here is IBM's 2008 annual report which was obtained with an elementary Google search
I think that Social Security, in and of itself, is not a bad thing. Nor do I read Goose's comments to be saying that either. In fact, run correctly it's a very good thing. Exactly what it's name implies, Security.
The problem is that our Government has been running it like a Ponzi scheme. They take in money, spend it, and then pay out dividends with the money they take in later. Isn't that exactly what Bernie Madoff is in prison for?
If all the money paid into Social Security has been saved and used for Social Security, what condition would the program be in now?

If it is a Ponzi scheme (which is a very loose application of that phrase, BTW) it has been a damn successful one! SS has a fund, and a long-term plan to ensure payout reserve. A true Ponzi scheme cares nothing of that.

You should pay attention more.
You can argue about whether this is good or bad. After all, look at the parts I bolded. What does that do to the argument that the bottom half pays no taxes? The way I see it, if corporations just pass their costs on to consumers, then the bottom 50% is paying part of those taxes too. And since they pretty much spend all of their income instead of saving around 35% of it like I do, if you could figure it out, they are paying a higher percentage than they are shown to pay in the analysis at the link that David provided. It isn't honest to say that corporations just pass their tax cost on to consumers out of one side of your mouth, then argue out of the other side that lower income people pay no taxes.
GE, Exxon Paid No U.S. Income Taxes in '09
As you work on your taxes this month, here's something to raise your hackles: Some of the world's biggest, most profitable corporations enjoy a far lower tax rate than you do--that is, if they pay taxes at all.
A view of the Exxon Mobil refinery in Baytown, Texas September 15, 2008. None of ExxonMobil's income taxes were paid to the U.S. last year.

The most egregious example is General Electric. Last year the conglomerate generated $10.3 billion in pretax income, but ended up owing nothing to Uncle Sam. In fact, it recorded a tax benefit of $1.1 billion.
Avoiding taxes is nothing new for General Electric. In 2008 its effective tax rate was 5.3%; in 2007 it was 15%. The marginal U.S. corporate rate is 35%.
In Pictures: What The 25 Top U.S. Companies Pay In Taxes
How did this happen? It's complicated. GE's tax return is the largest the IRS deals with each year--some 24,000 pages if printed out. Its annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission weighs in at more than 700 pages.
Inside you'll find that GE in effect consists of two divisions: General Electric Capital and everything else. The everything else--maker of engines, power plants, TV shows and the like--would have paid a 22% tax rate if it was a standalone company.
It's GE Capital that keeps the overall tax bill so low. Over the last two years, GE Capital has displayed an uncanny ability to lose lots of money in the U.S. (posting a $6.5 billion loss in 2009), and make lots of money overseas (a $4.3 billion gain). Not only do the U.S. losses balance out the overseas gains, but GE can defer taxes on that overseas income indefinitely. The timing of big deductions for depreciation in GE Capital's equipment leasing business also provides a tax benefit, as will loan losses left over from the credit crunch.
But it's the tax benefit of overseas operations that is the biggest reason why multinationals end up with lower tax rates than the rest of us. It only makes sense that multinationals "put costs in high-tax countries and profits in low-tax countries," says Scott Hodge, president of the Tax Foundation. Those low-tax countries are almost anywhere but the U.S. "When you add in state taxes, the U.S. has the highest tax burden among industrialized countries," says Hodge. In contrast, China's rate is just 25%; Ireland's is 12.5%.
Corporations are getting smarter, not just about doing more business in low-tax countries, but in moving their more valuable assets there as well. That means setting up overseas subsidiaries, then transferring to them ownership of long-lived, often intangible but highly profitable assets, like patents and software.
As a result, figures tax economist Martin Sullivan, companies are keeping some $28 billion a year out of the clutches of the U.S. Treasury by engaging in so-called transfer pricing arrangements, where, say, Microsoft's overseas subsidiaries license software to its U.S. parent company in return for handsome royalties (that get taxed at those lower overseas rates).
"Corporations are paying lower amounts of their profits in taxes now than in the past," says Douglas Shackelford, who teaches tax law at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "Other countries have been lowering their rates, but not the U.S."
Mind you, not all global megacorps enjoy such low tax rates. Try to muster some pity for Big Oil. ExxonMobil paid more income taxes than any other U.S. company last year, some $15 billion, or 47% of pretax earnings. Exxon's peers Chevron and ConocoPhillips likewise paid out more than half their earnings in income taxes. The oil companies are oddities among the multinationals because many of the oil-rich countries where they do business levy even higher taxes than the U.S.
Exxon tries to limit the tax pain with the help of 20 wholly owned subsidiaries domiciled in the Bahamas, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands that (legally) shelter the cash flow from operations in the likes of Angola, Azerbaijan and Abu Dhabi. No wonder that of $15 billion in income taxes last year, Exxon paid none of it to Uncle Sam, and has tens of billions in earnings permanently reinvested overseas.
Likewise, GE has $84 billion in overseas income parked indefinitely outside the U.S.
Naturally the Obama administration wants to put an end to this. It has proposed doing away with tax deferrals on overseas income. If the plan passes, a U.S. company that pays a 25% tax on profits in China would have to pay an additional 10% income tax to Uncle Sam to bring it up to the 35% corporate rate. "Eliminating deferrals would put U.S. companies on an unlevel playing field," says the Tax Foundation's Hodge, "especially if competing with the likes of Germany, which only taxes companies on domestic operations."
Hewlett-Packard and others among the top 25 state in their annual reports that if Obama's tax measures pass it would mean a certain tax hike, probably amounting to billions of dollars.
Would no more tax holiday for GE really end up helping Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer? Doubtful. "The average Joe should be in favor of lower corporate taxes," says Hodge, "because ultimately they are paying the corporate income tax. Either as workers, getting lower wages and fewer jobs, or as consumers, paying higher prices, or as retirees, getting lower dividends and earnings on their investments."
In the same vein, JPMorgan Chase Chief Executive Jamie Dimon has spoken out against an Obama proposal to levy a special tax on banks to recoup bailout costs. "Using tax policy to punish people is a bad idea," said Dimon. "All businesses tend to pass costs on to customers."

Yes, I do their federal income taxes. By the way people tend to say they pay federal income taxes because they have federal income taxes witheld from their paycheck however they actually end up with zero federal income tax liability.
The numbers I posted are the actual 2010 calculations using the standard deduction.
I didn't even go into a possible mortgage deduction, child care deductions etc.

Found this information in about 3 minutes. Don't have time to continue the research for you. The question was asked, show me somoeone who doesn't owe the IRS, these are two examples.
I've given you a 1st-hand summary picture that clearly shows that taxing individuals in the higher income brackets is a deterrent to jobs. That just taking a simpleton approach that all with income over $200K are "rich" and should pay more, notwithstanding this group pays over 58% of all taxes paid already while earning less than 35% of the total income. And in deterring jobs, also reduces the effective federal taxes paid (by reducing employment). Yet you ask questions that have no bearing on the subject.

Orders Speak Volumes: Amazon Launch Edition PlayStation 4 Page Sold Out, Xbox One Not So Much
Meanwhile, the Xbox One (Day One Edition) remains available. Of course, we must take all of this with a grain of salt, because we don't know how many units each company was readying for preorder, but Amazon shows the PS4 as a top seller ahead of the Xbox One, for what that's worth.
Further, after years of waiting, console gamers get two premier systems to choose from. One would think that passionate gamers would have come out in droves to preorder their favorite one. It's also worth noting that the Standard Edition of the PS4 remains available for preorder, too.
Still, it's ammunition for Sony to brag that its new system sold out well before the competition did. Amazon will ship the PS4 ($399.99) on December 31st, while the Xbox One ($499.99) will ship a month earlier on November 30th. If the latter's preorders haven't sold out soon, Microsoft should probably start sweating.

I have just implemented properties mechanism. We need some examples to see how it works. Recently I posted few messages to mailing lists from wrong mail account, and they have been bounced. This is how property solves my issue:
property address.email (to) { '@lists.sourceforge.net' => "email@example.com" '' => "email@example.com" }
What I wanted to say, is that my email address depends on who I am writing to. But how is it going to be used? Each time you start composing a new message elmo opens a template, and replaces properties (indicated by $) with their actual values. Let's take a look at default template:
From: "$address.name" <$address.email> To: $to Subject: $subject $quote $=$mail.quoted $signature
In the first example we defined a property address.name, which will be replaced by an actual value depending on property to.
Now let's go to something more complicated. Let's redefine a quote to be different for different groups of people. In polish we need a different quotation depending on people's sex, so I made something like this:
property quote (action mail.from.abook mail.from.foreign mail.from.sex mail.from.name){ 'reply' 'yes' 'no' 'F' => "%e napisała:" 'reply' 'yes' 'no' 'M' => "%e napisał:" 'reply' => "%e wrote:" '' => "" }
The quote property depends on 5 other properties. It depends on action, (which may be new, forward or reply), and some flags for author of the message we are replying. The magic happens in the resulting string, where I use %e. As you can expect: an actual value of mail.from.name property will be used. All %x tokens will be replaced by arguments values (%a is first, %b - second, and so on).
There is one more thing you could notice - a special token $=. You may place it, where you'd like to have a cursor placed in your editor. Elmo counts offset, line, and column of this token in resulting file, and you may use them in your editor variable, e.g.:
set editor "emacsclient +%l %f"

By David Helms/Pontotoc Progress
Pontotoc Police Chief Larry Poole reported that five persons were arrested recently in four separate incidents.
Poole said that Brandie M. Tutor, 29, of Randolph, has been arrested and charged with arson, burglary of an auto and two counts of felony malicious mischief.
Poole said that Tutor is charged in connection with allegedly setting fire to a barn on Old Airport Road on March 10, cutting the tires and throwing a concrete block through a house window on March 11 and breaking into a pickup truck on March 13.
On Friday, Tutor was still in jail on $40,000 bond, Poole said.
Poole said that James Bobby Collums, 26, of Bland Lane, Randolph, has also been charged with arson in connection with the barn fire, which destroyed the contents of the building.
"The charges against Collums stem from driving Tutor to the barn and then picking her up and driving away knowing that the barn was on fire," Poole alleged.
Collums was released on $5,000 bond, Poole said.
In a second incident, Poole said that Kayla Leanne Russell, 23, of Swords Lane, Pontotoc, was arrested March 15 and charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell.
"This started with a traffic stop when someone reported a small child riding in a car and not in a child restraint seat," Poole said.
"Upon getting permission to search the vehicle, marijuana was found in her purse, along with a large amount of cash," Poole alleged.
Russell was released on $10,000 bond, he said.
In reporting a third arrest, Poole said that Cesar Sanchez, 40, of Country Village Apartments, Pontotoc, has been arrested and charged with two counts of molesting a child under 10 years old.
"The charges were filed after the mothers of the two children brought the complaint to the police department," Poole reported.
Poole said Sanchez has been released from jail on a $500,000 bond.
In reporting another arrest, Poole said that Alexander Franklin, 19, of Highway 6 East, Pontotoc, has been arrested and charged with enticement of a child to meet for sexual purposes.
"The charges were filed after the mother of the 14-year-old girl saw text messages on the daughter's cell phone and filed a complaint with the police department," Poole said.
Poole said Franklin is being held in the Pontotoc County Jail on $100,000 bond.

I have noted in other posts here about my hunting this past weekend here in SC Iowa but a quick recap.
Saturday, arrive at timber, toms already fired up, and work into timber from CRP, but cannot move much closer for day break was upon us. We set up, quickly notice 2 hens, to our right, on the limb. Toms are gobbling to our left, we are pretty much on the same level as the birds on the hillside. To our surprise we had slipped really close to the hens and didnt bump them.
The 2 hens were pretty vocal, one in particular, yelping, clucking and purring from the roost. Toms responded to them. I decided to do a little tree calling, and set off the what I assume was the boss hen who responded to me each time I made a sound on my pot. I tried to keep my calling very sparse, and let the hens continue to vocalize. The hens stayed on the roost what seemed like forever and didnt actually fly down until around 7:00 AM on a gorgeous day. They flew down hill sort of right towards where the toms had been responding.
After they flew down we didnt hear squat, zip zero nadda for the longest time, I got antsy and made the move to an area that I thought they would be headed, but that hunt was cut short by a predator. (Another story in itself)
Next day, Sunday, we decided to arrive a little earlier, and try to set up a little closer to the toms. Sure enough, toms were almost in the same spot as previous day. We worked as close as we dared and set up a single deke in a little open area. Set up, and tree called. Got a response, waited, called again, another response, and yelped softly and continue to get a gobble. Heard the wings of a fly down, yelped, nothing, waited, waited, maybe 15 mins, called, nothing. We sat there for about a half an hour, maybe a little less, then a crow caws and then heard a the gobbles, walking away from us. I yelped a little more agressive this time and heard what I assume was the toms we set up on, working there way away from us. We circled trying to work in front of them, but didnt hear, see or get anything fired up later in the mourning. Its like they shut up and disappeared into the mists.
Let me point this out, I get antsy easy and I think I may need to practice more patience, but if I think the birds are moving away from me, I move. Also, maybe my calling is a little to agressive first thing after fly down or maybe not agressive enough. There were hens in the area, which we learned the day before.
I thought about busting the roosted birds up that evening, but I have never had the balls to try that tactic, but heard it can work SOMETIMES.
What would you do, how would you set up different, how would you adjust your calling?

We were clearly fools gold thru the first 7 weeks. With the playoff chances all but done, its time to evaluiate the talent on this roster. Let's see what Matthews, Egnew and Miller can do. Open up the playbook and see what Tannehill can do as well.
I'm reading through your post and I don't even know where to begin dissecting this piece of garbage.. Yeah some of these players are obviously showing they don't fit in this style of offense. Can we have a conversation about that rather than calling someone a "piece of ****" or "a vagina"? Then after you call our whole offense essentially garbage you get to Tannehill, our FUTURE at QB whether you like it or not, and proceed to insult him. How the **** is he supposed to be good if you think the whole rest of the offense is garbage and not worthy of a roster spot, like you say? I don't understand your logic..
Some of these guys won't be here next year. It's obvious they are phasing Reggie out, Long and some others on the OLine may have some issues with our blocking scheme and we don't have much else to help Tanne in the passing game. This is NOT a play off team.... So why the **** are you critiquing it like they are?
This is Philbins first year on the job. He's working with a lot of pieces that don't fit his system. Those people will be phased out in place of people who do fit, but just because they don't fit doesn't make them a "piece of ****". I'm just left shaking my head at dudes like this...
I'd also like to add as I just noticed, It's even more of a shame that every mod on this damn forum "thumbs up'd" this garbage..
What's funny is that you seem more mad about a post on a message board than you do about how the team performed last night, which was godawful. You respond to a "rant" with your own rant. You mad kid?
Speaking of disrespectful, nothing is more disrespectful than the performances this team has given the fans over the past two weeks against ****ty teams.
I wasn't mad that the dude had a rant. I'm sure a lot of us do after last night. I was more or less saying that it looked like a mad teen girl wrote this post. And there is very little logic in it. You seriously gonna tell me that Long, Bush, Incog and all the others on our team, not to mention RG3/Cam that he threw out there, have zero talent and deserve the moniker of "garbage" or "piece of ****"? I sure don't... And I'm sure most logical thinking people would agree.
Where is the imagination? Where is the adjustments? Where is keeping opposing teams guessing?
Cmon already Philbin. Mix this sucker up!
