I can honestly say I haven't heard this one before. I have heard its total BS, that it's the work of the devil, that it is wrong to varying degrees, that it's God's will and other things but never that it was a religion. I have even heard atheism is a religion many times. I am honestly at a loss as how to begin responding to this. Here is the post I stumbled across. I am not going to bother replying to this one but I would love to hear some ideas about how to respond to this in the future.
I have some ideas already such but would love to hear from someone who has encountered and debated this already.

Below is an exact copy of a response I just posted on the "Just Passing Thru" website:
Hogwash! Evolution is a scientific discipline. It is no different from the gravitational theory; the germ theory, the heliocentric theory, the electromagnetic theory; the heliocentric theory; quantum theory, the light propagation theory, etc. The only difference is that the theory of evolution supplies, by many orders of magnitude, more actual, solid, empirical evidence than any of them. Evolution HAPPENED; has ALWAYS happened, IS happening, and WILL always happen. Why? Because life, in all its variety, could not exist without it.
The Theory of Evolution offers mountains of virtually irrefutable evidence, including, among others, that diseases evolve resistance to antibiotics. Around 1935, evolutionary biologists unanimously predicted that bacteria would evolve resistance. No pastor, priest, rabbi, imam, or holy book predicted it; and it wasn't foretold in the Bible. That alone leads me to put more trust in science than blind faith in the ignorant ramblings of bronze age sheepherders or modern day charlatans who pass the plate on Sundays.
Religion? I can't see, hear, smell, taste, or touch anything that could remotely be called a god. There is ZERO evidence for any kind of god.
I don't have faith in Charles Darwin. He was wrong about a lot of things. Faith in God, conversely, is that He is wrong about nothing. He can't be wrong about anything. That is true faith – blind faith.
If there is such a thing as "faith" in evolution, it is better termed "trust" – trust that, based on myriad observable phenomena as presented by a variety of sciences, including biology, paleontology, geology, archeology, immunology, bacteriology, and, most recently, genetics, that one's best odds for making rational, efficacious decisions in life is through a reliance on (a trust in) science. Religion is based on NOTHING BUT FAITH! Faith in what? That you will live forever, despite abundant evidence to the contrary, of course. What does God look like, sound like, smell like, taste like, or feel like? Conceptions of God, although they are multifarious, tend to be highly anthropocentric – the magic man in the sky, who is usually white, male, bearded, white-robed, and avuncular. Hey, show Him to me and I'll believe.
Excellent!!! Did they post it?
There are no horrible, eternal consequences for not believing in evolution. That sets it apart from most religions.
Hmm... eternal maybe not, but free of consequences this type of "disbelief" is not.
Yes, there are consequences for that type of disbelief, but that's a different topic. Not believing in evolution, though, is not going to send your eternal soul to hell to burn forever. Some people will think you're a bit dim, but that's pretty small beans in comparison.
From my understanding of what was stated in the linked post is that Evolution is a religion due to the fact it is something that people believe in and that it explains how we were created. I don't see "Evolution" in the same light at all. I think of religions more as culturally developed sets of stories, rules, customs and beliefs that governs and/or affects the thinking and behaviours of people and communities. Evolution doesn't fit into my understanding of a religion. Most people I know believe in evolution, but it has little effect on our lifestyles.
I just left a comment on the blog article as well - It appears she is actually responding to our comments too! Being pretty dumb about her answers, but nonetheless responding!

Per Mertesacker has hailed the progress of teenage winger Serge Gnabry and believes he is making major strides forward in his career.
The teenager made his Premier League debut against Norwich on Saturday and became the youngest German to appear in the Champions League after coming off the bench against Schalke at 17 years, three months and 11 days.
Mertesacker believes that every appearance will be beneficial for the pacy forward as he bids to secure a permanent first-team place.
"Arsenal are always searching for this type of player who have shown their qualities very early," the defender said.
"They get them very early, so let's try to put confidence to him. He is learning a lot in training and these games are very important for him."

Hi all,
I was given a nice Pioneer head unit to replace my stock unit in my bugeye, and I was thinking about adding a subwoofer when I get the stereo installed. I don't need a huge 12" sub eating up space in my trunk (I regularly fill the whole trunk on road trips and such), so I was wondering if there were any decent slim subs out there that fit under the seat. I've heard the OEM Subaru one is worthless, but are there any good ones out there?
Also, since I'll be going from a double-din setup to a single-din unit, what do people use to fill the gap? I know Subarugenuineparts.com sells a din tray off a Forester that has a nice fold-down cover. I was thinking about moving the OEM clock down there and adding switches next to the clock for extra driving lights. Then the cover could neatly keep things hidden when I didn't need them.

More oil is spotted?in Nashua River
Justin Kates of the Office of Emergency Management said it is suspected that the source of both reported oil leaks are from someone probably illegally dumping oil down a drain of a nearby parking lot.
"They probably didn't know it was illegal, or that it would lead to the river," Kates said of the possible culprits.
Unlike the first spill in February, which required petroleum absorbent booms and a concerted cleanup by city and state officials, Kates said the recent leak located just west of the Main Street Bridge in Notre Dame Park off Water Street was minimal in nature, small enough that officials felt they could just let it disperse in the river.
"It was not enough to cause significant damage to the environment, and no response was possible because the amount was so small," Kates said.
Kates added that the state Department of Environmental Services said that after the first significant rainstorm or snow event the city could expect to see a small amount of oil that had latched onto the walls of the offending pipe flushed out into the river.
True to the DES's warning, a small oil sheen was seen on the river after the snow began to melt this past weekend, and the fire department and wastewater department were called in. Once on the scene, both determined nothing could be done, Kates said.
Police are not investigating despite the suspected cause of the leak being illegal in nature, Kates said.
"It is likely something accidental in nature. Maybe they didn't know the law, but maybe it was intentional. Maybe they didn't want to dispose (of the oil) in proper way. Fifty years ago no one would have thought this was illegal, but now we take better care of the environment and it is illegal to dump that kind of stuff," Kates said.
Deputy Fire Chief Michael O'Brien previously said city officials were very concerned about the potential environmental damage being done by the first leak.
"Any time a contaminant gets into the water it is a concern," O'Brien said previously.

During the past eight years, George Bush allowed Israeli leaders to do as they wished under the pretense their actions were in the interests of "security" even though many violated international law. George Bush was the greatest enemy to the people of Israel because he supported actions that made peace in the Middle East impossible to achieve. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has made clear a new administration is in power in Washington which intends to achieve Middle Eastern peace and this requires Israel to adhere to agreements and the law. Clinton sharply criticized the Israel decision to demolish homes in Arab East Jerusalem which she noted was a violation of Israel's international obligations. "Clearly this kind of activity is unhelpful and not in keeping with obligations entered into under the 'road map.' It is an issue we intend to raise with the government of Israel and the government at the municipal level in Jerusalem."
Palestinian leaders continually make clear the expansion of Israel housing on the West Bank destroys efforts to achieve peace in the region. These houses violate international law and make difficult the work of Arab moderates to achieve peace. Israel must evacuate all housing on the West Bank and reach out to Arab leaders in order to achieve peace in the Middle East. Hillary Clinton is for the first time in years proving to Muslims there is an even-handed approach to the Palestine-Israel conflict and she is urging more aid to Gaza.
Many Israelis will be upset at Clinton. They fail to realize George Bush did Israel more harm than any prior American president because he set no limits on what Israel could do. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are the true friends of Israel!

Noting on the right shoulder,

Noting on the right shoulder,
The left shoulder is an ammo pouch and three grenades.
My bad, I am tired and sickish right now. Ok that was what I thought it might be.
One other thing I think you should do is take the lower leg armor plates to the color of the rest of the armor plates.
I'm right now doing that :) using the same colors, but reversed a bit... I'll post it soon
I'm still thinking the jumpsuit needs to be more contrasting...
I liked the jumpsuit colors from earlier today (post #22) rather than this latest one. I dunno...something about the darker color makes the armor jump out more.
I'd agree with Jon, Go a bit darker on the jumpsuit cooler. maybe stick with the khakie, but darken it up a bit.
Oh and don't change anything else:p it looks great.
Have a good one,
I think you're right. It'll go back...
I like the new boot armor, you should keep that part the same as the second part from today.
The boot armor is going to stay painted like that... The jumpsuit is the only thing I plan on changing.
I think i found a good pistol to mod:
I like the look, and they've been used in the movies so there ya go... As for a rifle I'm thinking maybe converting an Airsoft xm8 'cause they've got them for cheap... Sadly they don't have the nice Carbine.
Very cool. I like how it is not some bright color that jumps out at me that would say "Here I am! Shoot ME!" The only item I might change is the neck seal. Maybe just have it cover part of the collor. To me, what makes a Mando a Mando is the way the chest is with the diamond. Make sense? Also, with the lines coming up from the lower chest, I would like to see what you would do with the rest of the chest.
Maybe if I split it up the middle? I dunno... I kinda like how it is...
I personaly like it the way it is too.
Those reversed colors look great, and I also like the mantle look as it's different. I use a set of combat suspenders that remind me of the ammo pockets hanging down your L shoulder, so I like that to.
absolutely love it! what program are you using for the drawing? looks very clean.
Yeah I'm leaving the mantle as-is, but I'm still adjusting the jumpsuit color to be more actually kakhi.
The program I use is "By Hand" I do all the drawing and inking by hand and color in Photoshop.
Keep in mind guys, this costume is probably going to be a while before anything gets made... I plan on losing some weight first... Maybe next Halloween.
It's looking seriously good. I like the mantle, it looks different but right if you know what I mean. Looking forward to seeing this one made, even if it does take a while ;)
I think colors are final, and I'm actually about to order my weapons.
This one was done over a picture of Boba Fett which is probably more acurate than my drawing Proportion-wise. So the mantle will probably not hide as much when actually made.
I tell you what, I never expected to do as much as I have with this costume before I signed up here.
My idea for doing the mantle:
Thinking of snaps for the back to make it easy to remove, but more secure than velcro.
Anyone have ideas for his Backpack? I'm not sure I wanna go with a jet pack... thinking more of a survival pack of sorts.
I think the mantel should be a bit more of an ovle that way more of the sholder gets coverd. But wait tell you make a mock up and see where that goes.
As for a backpack how about something like the snowtrooper backpacks.
The circle will be easier to cut. But that IS why I offset the neck hole, that will cause the shoulders to stick out a bit more and the back to be longer. Which wouldn't happen with an oval.
About 7 inches in front and close to 9 on the shoulder(Which I measured to be close to correct, albeit without any armor underneath).
The image isn't prefectly acurate. Not sure if the neck hole is too big/small.
Ah I see now that you did offset that hole. I didn't catch that earlier. That would work better then an Oval.
I had a thought about your rifle as well. You mentiond using an XM-8, which I assume you would build up. So that it looks like the one in your first drawing. If that is the case. I think you would be better off modding a 9-mm hand gun. It would work much better as a base. This one perhaps, minus the silly scope.
Edit: It was bugging me what that gun looked like and I finaly nailed it down. It looks sort of like the long barreled luger. Take a look that would be an even better base.
Well sadly, the Carbine I based the image off of: http://www.airsoftatlanta.com/images...arbine_jpg.jpg is like 95 bucks... The XM-8 is $12. That's the thing...
I was looking at this though: http://www.hobbytron.com/AirsoftPist...ingBCP608.html I'd hafta make a stock but it's much closerto what I had planned.
[EDIT]Yup, that one lol. It wouldn't be too hard
Prop guns are my big hobby. I think the stock could easily be made from PVC pipe. Or if you have local gunsmiths they may have some cast off stocks laying around that you could pick up for cheap. (Gunshows would work too.)
Single Points (that is the type of scope you got on there) can be made for less then 3 dollars if your crafty. You can also get resin ones and real ones.
Thanks... This is what I'm looking at mod-wise on the luger:
God I love Photoshop
A magpul stock huh. Cool idea.
Yeah I thought that'd be cool, have a retractable stock.
I've hit my first snag though... it seems that site is out of stock of that gun :( I am very upset because they had it for cheap. And they havethe other guns I planed on getting.
I have a question for everyone: What is the significance of the shoulder emblem? The Mythosaur? is it common for all mandalorians?

So I managed to get permission to hunt a pond that is close to a lake. The farmer asked if I liked killing Canadas... from this point it was easy to get permission. He said that the geese were always feeding on his crops right around the pond. I've never hunted geese in Kansas (this is my first year here) but I was hoping that some of you might have done this up around NE Kansas and could give some advice. I suspect the way I hunted geese is quite a bit different than what gets the job done here. I've only got a dozen goose shells; lost my roomates and most of my goose spread when I graduated and moved, my roomates were my hunting buddies and we pulled our dekes to make it half way decent. The pond is small but it is likely where I'll be Sept 3. Any advice welcome. Anyone wanting to do some hunting in the area? Maybe we can hook up and shoot us some honkers.
So to sum up my situation:
1 60yd X 40yd pond
2 ~1/2 mi from waterfowl refuge on the lake
3 Pond appeared to have soy beans around it (but farmer talked like there had been wheat at times)
4 There is a bit of a sunning area surrounding pond
5 A few small bushes for cover
6 Dozen flambeau shells as dekes
Any thoughts on what you do in this situation...

Get the Glock.
Cheaper to shoot = more shooting = you'll be a better shooter. Placement is EVERYTHING.
Cheaper gun means more practice ammo, right? See above.
Lighter + more compact + more shots = better for defense (all service-grade handguns are pathetic in power; .45 vs. 9mm = 10,007 vs. 10,003 angels dancing on the head of a pin).
Accuracy? A box-stock G19 with decent ammo vs. an unmodified rack-grade-quality 1911 with same decent ammo? The G19 will usually win (90-95% of the time). Might win by a LOT, depending on the exact 1911 and the shooters' experience.
The low bore axis of the Glock means less muzzle flip; this makes no difference for the first shot, but can be a BIG difference for subsequent shots. If you can shoot the 1911 well (speed & accuracy), you'll shoot a G19 superbly, given some practice. The muzzle-flip thing is not caliber-dependent; I've shot these base gun models with the calibers reversed (G30 in .45 vs. a 9mm 1911) and the Glock was still quicker for followup shots, even though it was much lighter and harder-kicking.
Finally, many 1911 shooters I know tend to baby their guns. They hate to get them scratched or holster-worn. Most Glock owners don't suffer from gotta-keep-it-nice-looking syndrome. Glocks are ugly to begin with, and a few scars or wear marks just improves their character.

Reviews forHam 'n' Cheese Brunch Strips
My Review
Average Rating
"Just the fact that they are strips makes it easy to hand them out in"to-go" bags as the kids take off in a rush so they don't have to scarf things down before they get out of the car"
"opps sorry I meant swiss - sorry!!!"
"ok, rather than being critical let's try to be the solution. The idea of something simple to compliment eggs - Great! here goes with the fix. Forget the American cheese and the mustard and go with ham and cream cheese (any variety - vegetable sounds pretty tasty)"
"Kirchner and lorrik, some people have NO CREATIVITY.....LOL ! If it isn't spelled out in black and white with a pic to go with it, they'd NEVER come up with an idea this complicated.....ROFLMAO !!! Kinda sad, huh ?"
"Really ...TOH you should be ashamed...this isn't brunch it's a grilled cheese sandwich ."

Prince commends Sustainable Glasgow
September 6, 2010 by localnews · Leave a Comment
Story by Grace Franklin Photographs by Stuart Maxwell
The Duke of Rothesay started it in Glasgow yesterday.
Aiming to encourage people to START to do what they can to make better use of natural resources and protect the environment, Prince Charles is making a whistle-stop tour of the UK in a train fuelled by recycled cooking oil, to visit good examples of what is being done already.
START – is a co-operative of partners who have all started down the eco friendly line.
The initiative was launched in Glasgow with the Duke going walk-about among the stands in Glasgow Central Station.
After being welcomed by Lord Provost Bob Winter, he chatted with people in the crowd and made Nancy Gray's day. From Shettleston, the 74-year-old is an avowed Royalist. 'I just love the Royal Family,' said the retired tailoress. But when
Prince Charles shook her hand and said he hoped he was not interrupting her day, she went all aflutter. Literally shaking with excitement, Nancy told the LOCAL NEWS: 'I came here specially to see him.' She followed the Royal entourage around all the stalls which highlighted what could be done to START looking after the planet better.
Price Charles – who is correctly addressed as the Duke of Rothesay when he is in Scotland – first dropped off a pair of his old green cord trousers into the Oxfam clothes recycling point.
Waitrose showed off their new trolley which can be borrowed by customers from their Byres Road shop, starting this week. It is fitted to the customer's bicycle and enables them to pedal home with a big amount of shopping.
Cube Housing Association was able to illustrate their new district heating scheme on the Wyndford Estate in Maryhill. The cost effective system delivers low-carbon energy and reduces carbon emissions in a whole neighbourhood.
Virgin Money had a wish tree to get people to promise to do something – and they'll come back to you in a month's time to see if you've done it for the planet.
B & Q staff showed the Prince how they make peat free compost. 'He was really interested in what we're doing,' said Douglas Szafranek.
Husband and wife team Alan and Hazel Tomkins were delighted to be presented with their award for sustainable business for their restaurants which include Gamba, Urban and Dining Room in Glasgow. The first such award from the START group, the company has worked to train staff in food safety, minimising waste and maximising on local produce. Said Alan Tomkins: 'It is very special to have been recognised for this.'
Four young apprentices from City Building's Queenslie training centre in Glasgow, explained to the Prince how they are building two different models of sustainable houses to test what works best. Said Laura Twigg (18): 'He was interested in the fact that we used tyres as one of the building materials.' Michael Connelly (17) commented: 'It was a great honour to meet Prince Charles. I never would have imagined I'd meet a member of the Royal family one day.' Naveed Mohammed (19) admits he's been bragging about meeting the Prince since he knew he'd been selected for the START event. And Brian Docherty (17) found the Prince asked a lot of questions about the pipe layout in the sustainable houses.
Glasgow City Council had a large number of stands in their exhibition. Most noticeable was a Peugeot electric seven seater vehicle which came from Allied Vehicles in Possilpark and is one of the fleet of electric vehicles the city has purchased. Said Allied Vehicles managing director Paul Nelson: 'The Prince was very interested in the project. Glasgow city has purchased 10 of these seven seaters and 30 smaller vehicles – called Peugeot Partners – from us.'
Quietly in the background, Richard Bellingham, Senior Research Fellow on energy Policy at the University of Strathclyde's Fraser of Allander Institute, was pleased that a report produced by the Institute had brought together so many of the organisations in Glasgow which are STARTing to implement sustainability procedures. 'By drawing in the right partners, the benefits will be real for the city and more likely to be supported and therefore, stronger,' he said.
At the end of the tour, Jane Wood, Chief Executive of Scottish Business in the Community said that Scotland – home of the Enlightenment – should be proud of leading the way in carbon reduction and sustainability as instanced by the work shown on the stands the Duke of Rothesay had toured. She was wearing an eye-catching outfit designed by Joey Dee of Edinburgh and using 75% recycled materials.
Before Prince Charles boarded his train to go to Edinburgh where a similar exhibition was to be visited, he told the assembled crowd: 'START is all about what each one of us can do for the benefit of our children and our children's children. It can be really simple to make better use of natural resources. Each of the major sponsors of START have their own message because they know their own customers best. Through these initiatives we are leading by example and showing what can be done to make that first step to sustainability.'
He added: 'Glasgow is good at working together. This will take the city forward to develop the brand Sustainable Glasgow.'

how do you guys affix the cod
elastic or is it affix to a belt
how do you guys affix the cod
elastic or is it affix to a belt
myn is attached to my girth actually.
the girth ropes were glued to a piece of aluminium, then the cod was screwed and glued to that aluminium piece.
holds the girth and cod up nicely.
that's not the real way to go however.
If ya wanna go accurate I think you should attach the cod to the but plate, with a elastique on the inside.
The cod is screwed into the kidney armor with a bolt just like the collar armor bolts. One on each hip. The two pieces clamshell together on your body and won't slip off.
I put some velcro on the cod and kidney armor then sewed some more on my suit. It isn't going anywhere now.
sounds like a solid solution!
but if your cod is like myn... a construction of various materials and kinda heavy due to kit and bondo... I do advice against velcro.
If it's a single plate... vac formed or fiberglassed, then I gues velcro would be a very good solution.
R_boba_fett said:
Good point. Mine is the FP stuff and takes to the velcro very well.
Has anyone got a picture of how the cod piece is attached ?
Kidney armor??? Anyone got a pic of this? I don't ever recall seeing this...
Some people call it the butt plate which is really inaccurate. It sits ontop your kidneys. Look around the forum... there's plenty of pictures of them.
i glued a screw or bolt to each side of the cod peice and just poked 2 holes in my jumpsuit, slide the screws in and just closed them w/ a nut, not the most comfy, but its not goin anywhere

Butch Jones, the 2011 BIG EAST Coach of the Year, enters his third season with the Bearcats.
With the Bearcats' win in the 2011 regular-season finale against Connecticut, Jones earned his third conference championship as a head coach (2007, 2009 at Central Michigan, 2011 at Cincinnati) and his 40th career victory.
Jones, who was named the head coach at UC on Dec. 16, 2009, holds a 41-24 career mark, a 27-10 record in conference play, has four bowl appearances and three league championships to his credit in five seasons as a collegiate head coach. In 2011, UC was the only program nationally to win both its conference championship as well as the league's team academic award.
Since arriving in Cincinnati, Jones has made an immediate impact, building a staff of championship-level coaches and teachers, as well as an atmosphere of competition and family, while also overseeing an academic program of great success. Jones and his staff have shown the ability to produce NFL-ready talent as well, sending 11 players to the NFL over the past three years.
UC was the most improved NCAA FBS AQ team in 2011, finishing with a 10-3 mark and a Top-25 final ranking, as well as returning to postseason play, knocking of SEC foe Vanderbilt in the 2011 AutoZone Liberty Bowl, the program's first bowl win over a BCS opponent.
Eight student-athletes earned All-BIG EAST accolades in 2011, including BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year Isaiah Pead and BIG EAST Co-Defensive Player of the Year Derek Wolfe. Wolfe, a senior defensive tackle, earned spots on five All-America teams, making him UC's sixth All-American since 2007. JK Schaffer was named the 2011 American Eagle Outfitters BIG EAST Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the second-straight UC player to win that honor, leading 23 UC student-athletes on the Academic All-BIG EAST squad.
The Bearcats were one of the most improved defenses in the nation in 2011, leading the NCAA FBS in tackles for a loss (8.62), ranking second in sacks (3.46), sixth in rushing defense (96.23) and 20th in scoring defense (20.31). UC led the BIG EAST and ranked ninth nationally in turnover margin (0.92) while the Bearcats' 33 turnovers gained was tied for fourth nationally.
Offensively, UC averaged 385 yards per game, ranking No. 2 in the BIG EAST in rushing offense (178.5 ypg) and scored an average of 33.3 points per game. Pead closed out his career with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, the first UC back to accomplish that feat in nearly 25 years. His 3,288 career yards rushing and 27 rushing touchdowns rank him third all-time.
QB Zach Collaros became only the second UC QB all-time to tally 6,000 yards passing and 50 passing touchdowns. He leaves UC as the school's all-time leader in completion percentage (.619) and was 485-of-783 for 6,278 yards and 51 touchdowns.
The Bearcats' overall team GPA for the fall 2011 quarter was a 2.73 which is a significant improvement over the in-season GPA of 2.69 the Bearcats posted in the fall of 2010. Forty-three student-athletes achieved a 3.0 GPA or better while 23 student-athletes earned spots on the Dean's List, with quarter GPAs of 3.4 or above.
UC was honored with the 2010-11 BIG EAST Team Academic Excellence Award. Nineteen players were named Academic All-BIG EAST and John Goebel earned the 2010 American Eagle Outfitters BIG EAST Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year award.
In 2010, the Bearcats led the BIG EAST in scoring offense (27.1 ppg), total offense (417.3 ypg), passing offense (260.7 ypg), first downs (21.9 pg), third-down conversions (45.6 pct.) and touchdown passes (27). Wide receiver Armon Binns and quarterback Zach Collaros were both First-Team all-BIG EAST selections while five other teammates earned all-BIG EAST honors.
In addition to their success in the classroom, Jones-coached squads have shown a great ability to close out games, sporting identical 32-1 marks when holding a lead at halftime or entering the fourth quarter.
Prior to leading the Bearcats, Jones spent three seasons at Central Michigan University, leading the Chippewas to a pair of Mid-American Conference Championships and three-straight bowl appearances from 2007-09 and a postseason Top-25 ranking.
A native of Saugatuck, Mich., and former offensive coordinator at CMU, Jones went 27-13 over three seasons as head coach at CMU, including a 22-3 mark in league games. The Chippewas won a pair of MAC Championships (2007, 2009), played in three-straight bowl games and earning a postseason ranking of No. 23 in 2009. He is the only coach in CMU history to lead the team to consecutive bowl games and is the first in MAC history to do it in his first three seasons as head coach.
Jones coached 32 all-MAC performers, including two-time MAC Offensive Player of the Year and 2009 MAC Vern Smith Leadership Award winner Dan LeFevour, and two-time MAC Special Teams Player of the Year Antonio Brown. Under his tutelage, 13 student-athletes earned Academic all-MAC accolades.
LeFevour had an NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision Record 148 career touchdowns (101 passing, 46 rushing and one receiving). His 101 career passing TDs, are the most in MAC history.
CMU was 22-3 against MAC opponents during Jones' tenure, including victories in the 2007 and 2009 MAC Championship Games. The Chippewas were 12-1 in MAC road games under Jones and earned two-straight wins over Big Ten teams.
In 2007, Jones became only the ninth first-year head coach to lead his team to a Mid-American Conference championship. The Chippewas' eight victories marked the second-most of any CMU coach in his debut season, and Jones was one of three first-year head coaches nationwide to coach in a bowl game.
The 2008 season was highlighted by a 37-34 win on the road at Indiana, CMU's first against a Big Ten opponent since 1992. The Chippewas capped the 2008 season with its third consecutive appearance in the Motor City Bowl.
Prior to becoming CMU's head coach, Jones spent a total of 11 seasons as an assistant at the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision level. He served as the offensive coordinator at three different schools, spanning eight seasons, and worked directly with 24 all-conference selections in 15 years as a full-time position coach.
Jones returned to CMU after spending the 2005 and 2006 seasons as an assistant coach under Rich Rodriguez at West Virginia University. In 2006, the Mountaineers employed a spread offensive attack which ranked second in the NCAA FBS in rushing offense (303.0 ypg), third in scoring offense (38.9 ppg) and fifth in total offense (461.4 ypg).
In two seasons at West Virginia, Jones was part of teams that recorded back-to-back 11-win campaigns, a pair of top-10 national rankings and victories in the 2006 Sugar Bowl and 2007 Gator Bowl.
Jones filled a variety of roles during his first stint at Central Michigan (1998-2004), including serving as offensive coordinator from 2001-03. The Chippewas averaged just 271.5 yards per game and 12.5 points per game in 2000; in 2001, Jones' first season directing the offense, those averages jumped to 379.5 yards per game and 22.8 points per game, respectively. He coached three different running backs that earned first or second team all-MAC honors.
A 1990 graduate of Ferris State University where he was a two-year letterman on the football team, Jones broke into the coaching ranks while still an undergraduate by serving as intern for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1987-89. He spent the 1990-92 seasons as a graduate assistant at Rutgers University before taking over as the offensive coordinator at Wilkes University in 1993. He directed an offense at Wilkes that led the Middle Atlantic Conference in scoring offense and total offense in 1993, a season in which it won a conference title and qualified for the NCAA Division III Playoffs.
Jones returned to his alma mater in 1995 as a running backs coach, only to be promoted to offensive coordinator for the 1996 season. The Bulldogs, while leading the Midwestern Intercollegiate Football Conference in total offense and scoring offense, won a second consecutive MIFC championship in 1996 and advanced to the NCAA Division II Quarterfinals.
Jones and his wife Barb are the parents of three children: Alex, Adam, and Andrew.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by roscoe36, Oct 21, 2008.
O'Neal a jolt for Raptors
I definitely thinks he jolts their team. My cuz and I were talking about that in the offseason when he joined them. I think our bigs are going to have a real match-up with them and it's going to be exciting to watch them play four times this season. He has to feel like a new man/player on that team. He is going to get help from everyone on that team. They are team that never gives up (especially when they play the Pistons).
Sheed has always been able to lock Bosh and JO up. The problem is, can Amir stop the one Sheed isn't guarding?
I have always felt Jermaine was short timing it during the last few years as a Pacer. This is just going to prove the theory.
JO will be on injured by Christmas..............
More than likely.... those knees are shot; just done...they're worst than Dices'!!
Not to mention Raptors don't have a Arnie Kander.
They said the same thing about VC when he went to New Jersey. "Half man, Half a season!" They shouted. He still had some mileage left in him. We'll have to wait and see.
"On Monday, the former Indiana Pacer did what looked to be the impossible: he shook the jet lag out of teammate Chris Bosh. Less than an hour after flying into Edmonton from Los Angeles..." Don't you at least need to cross more than one time zone to legitimately get jet lagged? What weenies. They ought to try flying in coach with their knees at their chins, landing, jumping in a rental car, and then presenting to hostile clients an hour later. Four hours in the luxury team plane and then having to sign some autographs. Tough life.
To be fair, it is 2 time zones. lol
Besides interesting facts like Edmonton having the world's largest shopping mall in 1981, Wikipedia claims it to be in the Mountain time zone, making it only one over from California. All right, Bosh had to cross a time zone. He was probably distracted trying to reset his watch.
Oh, I assumed the flight was from Toronto. My bad.
Jermaine O'Neal and Mateen Cleeves had quite a duel last night: JO- 2 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 0 steals, 1 block MC- 2 points, 0 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 0 blocks I'll give the game ball to Mateen for the high steals.
It's statlines like that which forced Michael Curry into early retirement.
Not to worry, I enjoy learning fun facts about my neighbors to the north.
I dunno. JO's statline without the block represents MC's career averages.
I meant the competitive statlines from superstars. MC ain't no JO when it comes to jersey sales!
Separate names with a comma.

Get the IR video model. Flashes are bad.
I've heard good things about the new cuddeback IR.Save the old ones broken or not they make good decoys.Place the active cameras high in trees pointing down.
i bought the moultri 80 series the first one i had i experienced a lot of problems. But i spoke with moultrie and they always sent me a new camera. Well i guess they finally fixed it and i have had no more issues. I think they are great cameras. and also i was having my pens disappear from my desk, well we now have a new janitorial service...Keith
$5 pens? We get the dime pens around here.
From my experience with game cameras you made a very good choice going with a Moultrie. <snip...>...JP

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Arsène Wenger's side face Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday, so to find out more we asked tactical expert Michael Cox and local journalist Yann Tear for their views.
At various points in a game, Fulham's formation could accurately be described as a 4-2-3-1, a 4-4-2 or a 4-4-1-1 - but regardless of the definition, the shape of the side is obvious. Two solid holding midfielders protect the defence, attack-minded wingers break forward quickly and one forward drops deeper than the other.
To a certain extent, that has been true of Fulham under previous managers Roy Hodgson and Mark Hughes, but Martin Jol has given the Cottagers a more attacking feel, and his side have scored the third-highest number of goals in the league this season, behind Manchester United and Chelsea. They have only lost three times in 2012/13 - against the two Manchester clubs, and at West Ham in early September, hours after the transfer deadline with an unfamiliar side.
Deadline day saw Fulham lose two key players, Clint Dempsey and Moussa Dembele, to Tottenham. The manner of the American's departure left a bitter taste, but Fulham had enough talented attackers to compensate for his absence. However, they had no natural replacement for Dembele, whose direct midfield runs provided Jol with a fifth attacking player. Instead, a more conservative shape was inevitable - two of Mahamadou Diarra, Chris Baird and Steve Sidwell stay deep, giving discipline to the side, and preventing opponents from breaking quickly through the centre.
In possession, the central midfielders spread the ball calmly to the flanks. Fulham are aesthetically pleasing because they work the entire width of the pitch. There's a determination to get the ball out quickly to the wingers, but they are happy to constantly switch play, changing the angle of attack.
They also offer a creative threat from the centre, especially when Bryan Ruiz is in the side, as he becomes a link player, offering a short forward passing option and adding another dimension to Fulham's attack. Dimitar Berbatov also moves towards the ball rather than spinning in behind. Fulham have been caught offside less frequently than any other Premier League side this season, although Jol can play Hugo Rodallega as a pacy striker to exploit high defensive lines.
At set-pieces, Berbatov and Brede Hangeland are natural targets, but Baird has scored twice in his previous three games, with deft finishes after excellent darts towards the near post.
Without the ball, the attack-minded nature of Fulham's wingers means they can be vulnerable down the flanks. After they snatched a draw against Everton last week, Jol admitted his side had struggled with the advanced positioning of Everton's full-backs, so something similar from Arsenal might work nicely today.
In central zones Fulham retain a solid shape. They are compact between the lines and intelligent in the way they regain possession - they have attempted fewer tackles than any other Premier League side, but have completed the most interceptions. At the back, Hangeland and Aaron Hughes is one of the division's finest partnerships. The former attracts plenty of attention for his dominance in the air, but Hughes plays a valuable covering role, sweeping up and clearing the danger calmly.
I think Fulham can make history and win away at Arsenal for the first time. They're more aggressive away from home than they have been in previous seasons. They've been a bit unlucky on the road, conceding late goals, but I think it's a good time for Fulham to play Arsenal,. Arsène Wenger's team have been going through a difficult spell of late and will have doubts if they don't start well on Saturday.
Martin Jol has moulded a very settled back four that are ably shielded by Mahamadou Diarra and Chris Baird. Already, Dimitar Berbatov has looked an excellent signing. He's got so much style and class and you can see how his presence lifts the others in the team. He's looked very good so far and could well cause problems for Arsenal's defence if he starts at the Emirates.
I think Fulham have got the better defence than Arsenal but it goes without saying that the Gunners will be dangerous if they click. Theo Walcott's pace could cause damage if he starts. But I think Fulham will win 2-1 - it's all set up for an upset.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

LAKELAND, FL (November 21, 2011) -- Although it was previously reported that Lakeland Electric General Manager Jim Stanfield was originally planning to retire on December 31, 2011, he has accepted a request by Lakeland City Manager Doug Thomas to remain at the helm of the utility through March 31, 2012.
Thomas said, "I have asked Jim to consider a slight delay in his original retirement plans to assist the utility complete a few remaining issues that were delayed due to the additional time involved with the utility's recent rate case." He added, "Jim's leadership and tenure with the electric utility will be invaluable as Lakeland Electric finalizes a number of key initiatives, including the completion of the utility's updated integrated Resource Plan (IRP)." The IRP is a a comprehensive decision support tool that outlines the most efficient way to meet customer's electricity needs while addressing the substantial risks and uncertainties inherent in the electric utility business.
Stanfield will also be overseeing the finalization of the smart meter installation process and the staffing needs associated with supporting smart grid technology. Stanfield said, "I am pleased to assist with the completion of some matters initiated by this team and help Doug finalize a few remaining utility projects before I end my tenure here." Stanfield has been General Manager of Lakeland Electric since 2003. He enrolled in the City's Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) on March 18, 2011 and is fully able to retain regular full time employment with the City through March 18, 2016.
Prior to this appointment as General Manager, he served as Director of Legislative, Regulatory and Environmental Affairs for Lakeland Electric. While General Manager at Lakeland Electric, he has managed to cut $11 million per year in O&M costs. Before assuming his job at Lakeland Electric, Stanfield held several positions during his 22-year career at Florida Power Corp., including that of Public Service Commission Liaison and Senior Counsel for the utility. He was the former chair of the Public Utilities Law Committee of the Florida Bar Association and also worked for the City of Gainesville and the Salt River Project in Arizona before joining Florida Power.
Stanfield has been active on the boards at the Florida Municipal Electric Association, Florida Municipal Power Pool, the Florida Municipal Power Agency and the ERO for Florida, the Florida Reliability Coordinating Council. He received the James D. Donovan Individual Achievement Award from the American Public Power Association in 2011.
Lakeland Electric is a full service power provider with over 600 full-time employees and it was one of the first electric utilities in the state of Florida. Serving over 120,000 customers, it is the third largest public power provider in Florida generating over 1,100-megawatts and operating 2000 miles of transmission and distribution facilities. Lakeland Electric owns and operates one of the most efficient combined cycle gas units in the United States and has been on the forefront of emerging renewable energy sources. It was one of the first utilities in the country to offer customers a solar hot water heater program over 20 years ago. The utility continues a push to the future with a recent large platform roof-top solar project and it will soon be introducing a 5.5-megawatt, 40-acre solar farm into the generation mix as part of its commitment to renewable energy.

The Beans, a band formed by current and former students of the University of St. Thomas, is preparing to release its first album on Dec. 29 at Fitzgerald's, 2703 White Oak Dr.
The Beans members began writing for their self-titled album two years ago. The recording process began early in February and consisted of scheduling issues, self-doubt and second guessing.
"It has been a long, exciting, exhausting and fun experience," band member Daniel Taylor said. "When I started to hear our artistic vision coming together and how good it sounded, everything else was blocked out. I just felt giddy and joyous."
The band is heavily influenced by artists like Bob Dylan, Tommy McClennan and Charles Mingus. They have inspired tracks on the album such as 'Wabasha,' 'Whiskey Headed Women' and 'Devil Woman,' respectively. Other influences include Junior Kimbrough, Townes Van Zandt and Jimi Hendrix. They give the album a brooding quality overall, Taylor said.
The band is made up of drummer Brendan Hall '10, bassist Taylor '10, guitarist and international studies major Christian Galatoire and guitarist and vocalist Sam Griffin. The group has been writing and performing together since early 2011, after Hall and Taylor met as active members of the University's Jazz Ensemble. They have since recorded a demo and gained popularity in the local music scene. "We started jamming in Cullen Hall on weekends before we had our own rehearsal space," Galatoire said.
The band has performed both on campus and in many local music venues. In 2011, the band was nominated for "Best New Act" in the Houston Press music awards. Members of the band were also nominated for best drummer and best bassist awards.
"One of the real benefits of waiting so long to record our first album is that we really gave ourselves time to develop as a band – for our ideas to take a clearer and more focused shape, which I believe makes the product substantially better," Taylor said. "A couple of the other songs that are on the album we wrote literally a couple of weeks before we started recording and had only practiced a handful of times, which I think is very rock and roll of us."
At the album release, The Beans will be playing along with The Journey Agents. For more information, visit their Facebook page. Story by Nicole Meza and Vivian Cabrera, communication students ---

One of the best things to do as a kid was plunking your worry-free behind down in front of the TV and taking in entire buttloads of cartoons. What the hell else did you have to do, anyway? "Responsibilities" and "jobs" and "concerns" and "having enough money for food" were for stupid grownups to think about! Let's go back to these days and get the "aw! I so remember that!" machine going with a look back at some of the best cartoons from our childhoods.
Listening to the theme song to Bobby's World damn near brings a tear to the eye. Who could forget that cute kid with the ridiculous voice? Bobby was a tiny bodied huge headed child always jumping on his tricycle and going on adventures in his mind, (which at this age you would have to pay someone to give you a hallucinogen for). His mother was comedy gold, always punctuating every sentence with "dontcha know" or "fer cryin in the mud!" or "gee golly gosh!" in a heavy Midwestern accent. We love Bobby!
Say it with me – CH CH CH CHIP AND DALE! Rescue Rangers! Need we say more? The most adorably wonderful chipmunks ever imagined. And that lady mouse Gadget was smarter than all of them combined – although the gadgets she invented sometimes failed, you never saw Chip or Dale steppin' up. If you're anything like me you want to sit back watch an entire episode of this and channel your inner 10 year old. Or if nothing else, you now will have CH- ch-chi-chip n dale! Stuck in your head for the rest of the day. So…you're welcome.
They were Animaniacs. And they were zany to the max. Did you have any idea that freakin Steven Spielberg was behind this thing? And if you'll dig way back into your childhood memory bank, Pinky & The Brain first originated on this show! What! Those two crazy bastards were plotting world domination eons before Stewie Griffin. Wakko Yakko and Dot, your shenanigans may be a bit blurry in our memories at our advanced age, but there's no denying the warm and fuzzies associated with hearing your frenzied theme song.
OK, OK. So technically Jem ended in the late 80's but I simply couldn't ignore the rockstar with the pink hair. She's truly, truly, TRULY outrageous! She had a singing girl group! She morphed from daytime blonde short hair Jem to nighttime crazy huge hair singing Jem with a touch of her earring! She had a sexy boyfriend! There was a rival girl group with equally crazy hair that constantly tried to steal her swag! Cat fights! Pink hair! OUTRAGEOUSNESS! Sigh. I wanted to be Jem at one point. I kinda still want to be Jem now.
Rugrats. The freakin Rugrats. No list of 90's cartoons could be considered legit without them. Just saying the name makes your heart do a happy little somersault. Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil and even that little hellspawn Angelica were just the greatest bunch of "poopetrators" you've ever seen. Check out how fearless little Tommy was, hiking up that diaper and venturing into the… dun dun dun….NEXT YARD, to chase after his ball! If that's not determination, I clearly don't understand the definition of the word.
Dooo do doo do do do dooo do do do do. You know what I'm talkin about; I'm talk about DOUG, people! Doug Funnie was a shy, sensitive guy with a crazy imagination, a superhero alter ego named Quailman (seriously…a Quail?) a kickass little dog, Porkchop, friends like Skeeter whose skin colors ranged from green to pink, and a crush on a girl named Patti with an unfortunate last name.
Ren & Stimpy was completely f$*%d up. There's no way around it. We watched it thinking it was a kid's show and it really, really wasn't. In fact, I kinda think I blame my distaste for Chihuahuas on Ren. Everything on this show was pretty vile, from the violence, to the gross outs, to the just, insane concepts. But it was somehow normal then, and by gosh we liked it. And they DID give us Happy Happy Joy Joy… Seriously watch this thing now as an adult…WTF IS THAT ANNOUNCER TALKING ABOUT and WHY is Ren slamming a hammer into his own head??!!...is Stimpy's butt..exploding? If you watched this as a child and are a normal, functioning adult right now, go ahead and pat yourself on the back.

I think that New Yorkers and their neighbors might consider that they have experienced the "War of the World.1". So Global Climate Change is an invention of corrupted scientists, eh? Do some of you folks maybe want to reconsider that? And good luck with that excess salt water, my children.

Like everyone at Emirates Stadium, Ivan Gazidis is unhappy to finish fourth this season. However the Arsenal CEO is warning against over-reaction and believes this Club is in a "very, very promising situation" over the next few years.
After he took the job in January, the 44-year-old was quoted as saying "fourth place was not good enough". Therefore, at a meeting of the Arsenal Supporters Trust this week, Mr Gazidis was asked for his view now given that Sunday's defeat to Chelsea had consigned Arsène Wenger's side to that very position. His response was robust.
"I am not happy where we ended up but I am pleased we are disappointed by it," he said. "There are other clubs who would feel this is a good position. Or we could say in December if someone had said we'd have been in this position then we would have bitten their hands off.
"So why aren't we feeling great about it? The answer is because we have higher expectations.
"But this is not a situation where we should be over-reactive and feel that we are in crisis. We are not. We have a team with an average age of 23 or 24 that went to the Champions League Semi-Finals and is going to get better.
"Does it need to be supplemented? Quite possibly but it is a very, very promising situation for the next four or five years.
"So right now I think it is important to have some perspective and be brutally realistic with ourselves - but not only on the negative side but the positive side aswell."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

painters touch sucked for me, dont jump on me because of my opinion asshole. i sprayed it on a few different surfaces (wood, concrete, painted wall section), and shook it well. its possible the quality could have had something to do with the age of the paint or they could have been defective cans. all i know is that both my friends with me agreed on the shitty quality of the paint. im going to get a few cans tommorow from the local ace to see how they work out, but if there shitty to then either your both fucked in the head or i have extremely bad luck.Originally posted by Cego3@Jun 16 2006, 10:51 PM
gov.issue i dont know you but if you call painter touch shitty well obviously you SUCK and you paint with white quick color that requires so much paint to be seen that it doesnt drip quick color is by far the worst in white ( its invisible without using a can per sq ft. ) but has a flat black that is ideal for bombing because it shows up and is so light it doesnt drip. so Q.C. WHITE = worst Q.C. black = best for a dollar

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by del, Feb 25, 2014.
Nice post...I guess one can hope.
Ping pong balls don't lie.
They're filling those Laker ping pong balls with Sulfur Hexafluoride even as we speak.
If the Lakers win the lottery, that'll be just as controversial as New Orleans winning it the year it was owned by the NBA.
I think Orlando is going to win it, but I have high expectations about getting the 3rd pick or at least staying at the 7th or 8th spot.
I'll be impressed if the team actually pulls of the tanking maneuver and keeps the pick. Without any major injuries this year, it is truly pathetic... but it would be such a shame to give away the pick in the strongest draft in years.
Lot of intrigue tonite on the opposite end of the NBA scale. Pistons have to lose and Sac has to win so we can improve out pick. but Sac is at home playing the Lakers who also need a lose to stay behind Boston. Sac/LA is going to be about who wants the lose more . I give the edge to LA since they are on the road and will also want to protect their pick from their old rival the Celtics. May want to tune into this one to see who gives their best impression of the Washington Generals.
Kings are not playing Lakers. They're playing Phoenix. Also a meaningless game, so the hometown team might have the edge.
What if the new GM blows this thing up and we suck even more next season? That pick is only top 1 protected.
No team with Dre can lose more games.
I think its top 3 next year and then no protection in the final year.
We'll all be looking back at this thread next year with a smile on our faces saying "remember what we said about this time last year?" as we enjoy the Pistons cruise into the 2015 playoffs as the #2 seed.
Not that far out of the realm of possibility. If we get a good draft pick and a good coach, we could be fine. There are teams out there that would love to have Smith/Monroe/Drummond. Think of what Popovich could do if he were handed the reins.
Says here its top 1. NBA Future Drafts Detailed - RealGM
Yea, top 1 next year and unprotected in 2016.
Well, we did our part, losing to OKC, now we need the Kings to beat the Suns AAAAND the coin flip in our favor.
The PHX vs SAC game is tied at 47 points at the half. No Dragic, No Cousins. I'm nervous!
It's fan appreciation night.... the Kings just celebrated Mitch Richmond being the first King ever voted the HOF at center court during halftime...the Kings will prevail for the fans. Rudy Gay has a sore back...so we will see................ Boy Mitch Richmond's wife is fine.....
LOL ! Yes she is. Kings 74 - 71 Suns ... end of the 3rd.
Separate names with a comma.

"Great quality, adorable soft/sweet invitation for a baby shower. I got great feedback from so many who received this invite from me."
"Item selection was easy. The actual product looks exactly like the proof. Delivery was on time and exactly what I ordered. I'm glad I ordered extra envelopes they came in handy when I spelled names wrong. I would order again for another event."
"The invitations were adorable and sweet. We received many comments from our guests. The thickness and weight of the card were exactly what I wanted not flimsy and light. I received my order within few days. I would recommend this product to you. You won't be disappointed."
"I have two nieces (sisters) that are expecting within a couple of months of the other, so decided for the benefit of the guests (90% would have been invited to both showers) to do a joint shower. I was worried that creating an invitation would be tricky, but this was perfect. Both Moms-to-be were thrilled! The envelope option was a bonus."
"I love my shower invitations. The colors and design are beautiful. I changed the color of my name to the brown color that was available and prefer it to the all blue text shown in the sample. The printing is perfect, and the paper quality is nice and thick. My guests have loved the invitation as well. I loved the invitation so much that I am using the color scheme and design as inspiration for my shower decor. I will definitely order from tiny prints again in the future. It is a little pricey, but totally worth the money for the quality of the product. Oh, and shipping was very fast as well! I ordered mine around the Christmas holiday and they came sooner than expected."

Heart Failure Appointment Guide
What is angiography?
Angiography is an imaging test that makes a detailed picture (called an angiogram) of blood vessels. Angiography makes images of arteries and veins in the abdomen, brain, heart, kidneys, lungs and legs.
Angiography shows blood flow and blood vessels that are obstructed, blocked, narrowed, enlarged or malformed. Doctors use angiography to diagnose diseases and abnormalities of the blood vessels, including atherosclerosis, blood clots, aneurysm, and coronary artery disease.
Your body has two types of blood vessels, the arteries and veins. When angiography examines arteries, the picture is called an arteriogram. When veins are examined, the picture is called a venogram.
An angiography is only one method used to test for blood vessels diseases and conditions. You may have less invasive testing options. Discuss all of your testing options with your doctor to understand which
Types of angiography
The types of angiography procedures include:
Catheter angiography involves inserting a catheter into a blood vessel in your groin or elbow. The catheter wire is fed or guided to the appropriate area. X-rays are used to produce the angiogram (picture) of the vessel.
Noninvasive angiography uses computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to make the angiogram. CT involves X-rays but MRA and ultrasound do not. MRI of blood vessels is also called magnetic resonance angiography, or MRA.
Catheter angiography, and in some cases, noninvasive angiography, use a contrast agent. The contrast agent is sometimes called a dye. It improves the quality of the images. The contrast agent is given through an IV.
Other procedures that may be performed
Your doctor may perform treatments during a catheter angiography including:
Angioplasty involves widening a narrowed or blocked blood vessel.
Blood clot removal involves injecting clot-dissolving medications into the blood vessel via the catheter.
Stent placement involves inserting a mesh tube into the blood vessel to hold it open.
These treatments are not performed during noninvasive angiography. Your doctor will recommend a catheter procedure to complete these treatments if needed.
