NFL Draft > 2010 Prospects > WR > Dezmon Briscoe

2010 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Dezmon Briscoe, WR, Kansas
When talking about possible first round receivers, Dezmon Briscoe is often left out of the conversation. However, after players like Arrelious Benn, Dez Bryant and Brandon LaFell, there are few -- if any -- other players who are better NFL prospects than Briscoe. As a true freshman in 2007, Briscoe caught seven touchdown passes for Kansas, setting a school record for freshmen. By 2008 he was garnering national attention and caught 92 passes for 1,407 yards and 15 touchdowns. Despite those superb numbers, he was not even named to the First-Team All-Big 12 team. Such is life in the Big 12, but Briscoe has something most other receivers in the Big 12 do not have. His 6-3, 200 pound frame is what will keep him in the first or second round of the NFL Draft. Briscoe has the size and the speed to absolutely dominate smaller cornerbacks. He will not dominate anybody in the NFL right away, but he could develop into that type of player. He has been dominating thus far in 2009. In nine contests, Briscoe has once again proven to be the big play receiver for the Jayhawks and is averaging over 110 receiving yards per game and has reached the end zone a total of eight times. 1/19 Update: With the firing of Mark Mangino, Briscoe also decided to head out of Kansas. After finishing the season with 84 receptions for 1,337 yards and nine scores it was probably a good move. Briscoe fell off the national radar as the Jayhawks lost their last seven games of the season, but he should be a pleasant surprise during workouts and will likely be a second or third round selection.

Prediction: 2nd Round
I love this kid. Is a very underrated reciever. Good hands, good speed, and great size. Can dominate cornerbacks with time to develope in the NFL. Has been overlooked because of playing for Kansas, and being hidden behind Dez Bryant in the Big 12. Should become better known with solid combine workouts. Good route runner.

The Monson family has been farming the Columbia Valley for over four decades and developed Goose Ridge Vineyard in 1999 under the guidance of Dr. Walter Clore, the "father" of the Washington wine industry.

About Columbia Valley
Columbia Valley is the largest of Washington State's wine growing regions, with almost 11 million acres. It encompasses a number of smaller regions, including Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, Red Mountain and more. The vast area consists of a range of climates, allowing viticulturists to plant a diverse selection of grape varieties. Most wineries plant rows sparsely, which helps the vines survive the harsh winters.
Notable FactsMerlot is the most popular and most planted grape of the area, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Syrah and Riesling are also popular and continue to grow in acreage.
About Washington
So how does a state known for rain and coffee produce high quality wines? They plant their grapes on the east side of the Cascade mountains, away from that ever-present rain cloud that sits along the coast. Perhaps wine grapes do well since the sandy loam soils east of the Cascade range give way to an almost desert-like land, saved from drought only by the helpful rivers that run through the area – and the good irrigation systems.
Thinking that the state would do best with typical northern growing grapes like Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, turns out the apple state is well-suited for reds, namely Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and, more recently, Syrah. Of course, whites have not been forgotten - Washington State Rieslings range from bone-dry to sweet, are well-structured and high quality, and Chardonnay dominates most of the other white plantings, making a range of wines. But the reds of the region, Merlot in particular, have made Washington State a quality force to be reckoned with.

Speaking from the South Lawn of the White House, as she assisted First Lady Michelle Obama in leading 10,000 children in the annual Easter Egg Roll, Kwan declared, "I feel like I have one more season of competitive skating in me and will Go for the Gold. Thanks to the U.S. gaining that 3rd ladies spot, I am confident that I can nab one of those berths to Sochi!"

A couple of years ago I was fortunate enough to discover that the keypad on Fett's gauntlet was a Casio MQ-1 calculator.
Last week I made a second discovery.
I was determined to figure out what type of electonic chip can be seen in the keyslots on the back of the Fett helmet. To make a very long story short I learned more about IC chips than I EVER wanted to know. When that utterly failed to help me, I began using mesurements of the keyslots to determine the size of the chip and board. I had thought about the MQ-1 early on as a possibility but had dismissed it as being to small to cover the keyslots but after taking measurements I realized the MQ-1 would be JUST wide enough to cover them. I rushed home in a mad frenzy and tore my MQ-1 apart and there it was... the upper keyslot detail piece!!!!
The MQ-1 electronics board is divided into two halves. Half is dedicated to the keypad and the other half to the display. The two halves were seperated and the leftover display half was used for the keyslot detail. As you can see in the pics below, that piece is not long enough to cover all the keyslots. It appears a plain piece of plastic was used to cover the remaining slots. You can even see a defined break between the top and bottom in a few of the inside helmet shots we took at MoM. It is even possible that the entire MQ-1 board was used on the RotJ helmet but I am not sure... Just not enough good pics...
I still haven't figured out what the two greeblies at the bottom of the Jedi and Prepro helmets are but at least we have most of it covered.
Thanks for looking!

Handmade Christmas Ornaments
Salt and Flour Ornaments and More
I was proud of our tree last year because almost every decoration on it was handmade. We were on sabbatical in Princeton, New Jersey, for the year from So Cal. We did not haul our holiday decorations across country. We got a great tree from a Vermont tree farmer, but we had nothing to put on it! So we decided to make our own ornaments. We started with flour and salt dough ornaments and went from there, adding wire, Sculpey and pipe cleaners to the mix. Here's the results. I am hoping to find time to make some more this year. Let me know which on is your favorite.
Which one is your favorite?
Happy Holidays to all!!!
If you want to make pipe cleaner ornaments, believe it or not, Amazon has the best deals and best selection on pipe cleaners.

I ordered a lot of soap from iHerb, including the very popular African Black and Shea butter soaps. I just got around to trying this one and was pleasantly surprised by how incredibly moisturizing and cleansing it is. Unlike some other soaps which are sketchily "natural" you can really tell that this soap is pure. Even if you don't have allergies or other sensitivities to chemicals or fragrances, you could enjoy its simple unpolluted clean. I found it was well worth the price, especially when compared to some of iHerb's more rated "star" soaps.
A good basic soap bar!

This is a good basic soap bar, with a better than average ingredient list. Priced right too, here at IHerbs. The only thing I've noted is that it has a bit of a "slime factor" when it sits for a while in a soap dish and is used up faster than some types of soaps i've tried. I'm guessing not milled soap but that's OK. Other than that, I would probably buy and use again. Note to company, the packaging is great! Love the design. :-)

I herb always comes through with amazing products, I purchased this item when there was a deal on it. The seaweed soap is great for my skin, doesn't dry my skin out and is smooth. I haven't experience too much of the product melting as I have been practicing ishnaan (hydrotherapy) therefore nothing really melts too much for me, however the product itself is great for those who don't want to much of the strong scented and 10+ chemical soaps sold nowadays.

It feels like an ordinary soap, normal scent, personally I didn't notice anything special, but I don't think, that it's possible to notice anything with naked eye...

Jack Wilshere had a long list of people thank after his return to the first team at the weekend - his family, the Club's medical team and the Arsenal fans
The England midfielder was a surprise starter against QPR on Saturday - exactly 524 days since he last began a Premier League game. But the 20-year-old looked like he had never been away as he helped the home side take control early on.
The winning goal came late on, long after Wilshere had been substituted midway through the second half. But nothing could take the shine off a great day for the former Arsenal trainee.
"It felt amazing to be back," Wilshere told Arsenal Player. "All the hard work and long days at the training ground have paid off.
"From the moment that I went out there, the fans were great. Even before the game when I was meeting Arsenal fans they were positive and all I can do now is prove to them that I can get back to the level I was at before and show then what I can do.
"It's been a long journey. As I've just been told, it's been 524 days since my last game. That's a long time, especially not to have any competition. You can play many reserve games but to come back into the Premier League is difficult.
"I have to thank all the medical staff, Declan and Colin Lewin. When you go to the training ground day after day there are times when you don't want to do it, especially when you see all the boys go out to training. But it's great now to be back and hopefully I can push on from here.
"My family have been great too. My dad is always been there for me and my mum as well. I think they were just as excited and nervous as me coming back.
"I've got my son now too and I don't know what I'd do if it wasn't for him. He helped me through it massively.
"No matter what you go through, when you see you son you're happy. For a couple of months, that was all I was looking forward to really was going home to see him.
"I didn't want to go into training just to see the other boys going out on the pitch to train. But you have to. For the last couple of months, I've been going in at 8am and going home at 4pm and the hard work is paying off now."

In the past few days, Xinhua News, the official voice of the Chinese government, has published a series of profile reports of the members of China's new Politburo, the highest decision-making body in the country. The move is seen by many as another indication that Xi and China's new leadership may have a very different management style from their predecessors: the robotic Hu and the "grandpa" Wen who almost never appeared in public with his wife.
Xi, his father in wheelchair, his daughter and his celebrity singer wife
These reports are very similar in formality – they playback the life stories of the Politburo members to showcase that they, too, like any other ordinary Chinese people, went through hardship, made sacrifices and worked hard for their dreams. This is not the first time when the Chinese media tried to give the country's officials a human touch. But seldom before did China's official media openly discuss the "human side" of its leaders – photos of top officials in work settings are everywhere but ones in family settings are rare, if any at all. The personal lives of China's top leaders, especially after they take power, have always been hidden behind a veil of secrecy. The recent reports of Xinhua , however, made many people believe that a new era has come. The difference? A handful photos of Xi Jinping, China's new leader, in his early years, solo and with family, including his celebrity singer wife Peng Liyuan. In a Weibo post titled "The Xi Jinping that you don't know," People's Daily thus summarized the life of the country's new boss:
"1. He graduated from Tsinghua University (top technology and engineering university in China); 2. He was put into jail during the Culture Revolution; 3. He's good at farming; 4. He worked from a village cadre all the way to Party Secretary; 5. His pen name is Zhe Qin; 6. He built Rongguo Masion in Hebei province; 7. He fell in love with Peng Liyuan at first sight; 8. He is a soccer fan and stays up late to watch soccer games; 9. His daughter's name is Xi Mingze, which means to be a clean and innocent person."
Following special profile reports take a similar route and present "the Li Keqiang (new Politburo member) that you don't know," "the Liu Yunshan (new Politburo member) that you don't know," and so on so forth. But those reports failed to make waves as big as the first one on Xi. After all, what can possibly beat a picture of young Xi riding a bike with his daughter sitting on the back, or a smiling Xi posing with his celebrity singer wife in front of a tourist site.
Xi: a husband and father
If the objective was to tell the Chinese people that their new leaders are "from the people and for the people," these reports are no doubt successful. Judging from netizens' responses, the release of Xi's family-life photos is definitely a smart move. 五岳散人, popular liberal intellectual and social critic in China, commented: "To be honest, the latest special reports from the official media on the new Politburo must be planned by public relation experts, from idea to execution. Of course, such reports won't be possible without the cooperation of these officials. The human touch is precious."
Many others even went further and concluded that such special profile reports may be the start of a new era in China's political life. Netizen 青衣刀笔吏 commented: "No more blind worship, officials are back on earth. This is an indication that China is shifting from one-man rule to elite rule." 幽嗅迷迭香 was even more optimistic: "I see the dawn of China's freedom and democracy."
Of course, it's not all rosy. 车海刚, vice chief editor of China Ecomonic Times, saw the move as a start and a start only: "For China to transform into a modern nation-state, China's officials have to evolve, from Gods, to saints, to human beings, and then to human beings with constraints. These special profile reports have positive effects by making the images of officials transparent. But this is far from enough. We are still at the first two stages and the transition is still top-down. We need to allow free bottom-up discussions." 中青报曹林 from China Youth Daily shared similar thoughts: "On the surface, Xinhua is singing a song of praise by presenting Xi's personal life. But it is also to disclose the situations of his family and his child to the public. It's a noteworthy sign of reform. China's top decision makers are taking actions [to reform]." 王冉, CEO of China eCapital, pointed out the key next step: "A reform is not a true reform until it is built into the system."

The goal is to turn this pile of scrap into a semi Auto MG34. The parts are from 3 different receivers. There is overlap on some of the parts, these will be cut and milled square for welding. The extra sections will be used as fillers where there is a big gap between sections. The gaps are to big to just fill in with weld, since the receiver is a precision machined part shrinkage and warping will be to great.
Strength is not to much of an issue as the bolt locks up into the barrel, however it needs to be straight and precise as all the parts fit closely. The receiver seems to be made from ductile Iron. I have done some welding tests on scrap pieces and found a mild stainless alloy rod works well. Using a post black will hide the welds.
The first step is to make a jig to hold the parts securely and in perfect alignment. The top plate of the jig will set the inside length of the receiver from front to back.
Questions and comments can be posted here.

One of the most common questions banking eBusiness executives ask Forrester analysts is: "What do you think of my Web site?". That's always a tough question to answer because what I think of a Web site depends on who I am and what I'm trying to use it for. To help UK bank eBusiness executives answer that question, my colleague Vanessa Niemeyer has just published a benchmark of the sales content and functionality on the Web sites of 10 of the UK's biggest banking brands, from the perspective of a typical customer trying to switch current account provider.
Some background: UK Net users are among the most likely anywhere in the world to use the Net to research and buy financial products. According to our Consumer Technographics® surveys, almost 60% of UK Net users have researched a financial product online in the past 12 months, more than in any other European country. Two out of five UK Net users have applied for a financial product online in the past year, which is double the Western European average. So you might think that UK bank Web sites are all highly effective sales sites.

haven't tried it yet 4th
i got a small box of it on the fed-ex ground truck headed this way. i guess we will see if it is any good when the truck pulls in the driveway.
Cabelas has it for $3.79 a box. Not sure on the shipping, but could add up in bulk.
Cabela's -- Tula .223 Ammunition
I've shot about 500 rds thru a Rock River that shoots anything- kinda dirty but thats why I buy russian ammo-it's cheap! Bill
he,he! i wish i could have found this first. it is a few bucks cheaper!
my order from CTD for 500rds ran about $114 including shipping.
if i had ordered the same 500rds from cabelas i could have got them for $107.70 and saved $6.30!
it seems to have better reviews from cabelas as well.
fired the first couple boxes on the 4th. so far it has sucked in the shortie barreled AR-15.
it short strokes about 7-8 times out of ten!
even worse it is like the shortie has caught cooties or something from this cheap ammo. it is now short-stroking on golden-bear! until i shot the tula out of it it had been running the bear ammo like a clock!
i am going to play around with it and see if i can get it to run as it is very close to running ,
the ammo seems accurate enough, gives a good strong report when fired and it has noticeable recoil. it don't seem underloaded?
if i can get some time i'll try in in one of my 16" ar-15s and my 5.56 ak.
if it runs in the 16"barreled ar's then i am going to see if i can tune up the 11.5" up enough to get it to run reliable in it. hopefully a well-worn out buffer spring or possibly bolt-carrier swap might do the trick for the 11.5" that is if the ammo isn't garbage and right now it is looking iffy---
O.K. j4. I will give you $1.50 a box for what you have left.
Thank you for the report. I almost pushed the buy button.
Me and my neighbor, a retired SWAT weapons instructor with the Orlando Sheriffs Dept. got too talking.
He was handed every weapon made too test for the Department.
Oh God Mall Ninjas dont beat me please. His words not mine.
Rock River ARs ate every type of ammo they fed it.
Highest rated. No. Like 7th on the list.
Most accurate. Maybe not. I dont know.
But he said the darn things went bang every time they pulled the trigger.
Now I am going too buy some and see if he is rite.

i would like to see a stock RR eat this crap ammo. i don't think any AR one off the shelf can run this shit without a tune up.
now an AK on the other hand should be able to run this stuff with no problems. i haven't tried it yet i might have to eat my words again--lol!
i haven't tried it on a rifle length either it may just be a SBR problem. a little extra bbl length can do wonders for an ar-15 with low pressure ammo.
this shortie is just a hair off working with the stuff. it may be something i overlooked on assembly. i did patch up a overly short buffer tube. this will compress the coils and might be the cause of the problem. though it only compressed the spring an extra one turn--
i am going to try it again with the m4 buffer tube and the weakest recoil spring i got and see if it will run it the tula then.
if it is another no-go. i'll pull the EBR bolt carrier and put in a LMT. and if that don't work i might order a wolf low power recoil spring-- or just write on the box--AK only!

Business Owner Threatened with Jail Time for Flying American Flag
A Georgia man was slapped with a ticket and threatened with jail time after he refused to remove an American flag that's been flying outside his business for more than thirty years.
An Albany code enforcement officer alleged that Tom Gieryic's flag was in violation of the city's sign ordinance. The standard size American flag was posted on a pole outside Gieryic's automotive repair shop.
"It's been there for 30 years," Gieryic told Fox News. "She told me my flag was in the city's right of way."
Gieryic said his troubles started last week when a group of retired Marines showed up and offered to put up a new flag. When he returned from lunch, Gieryic was met by a code enforcement officer telling him to either remove the American flag or face fines.
The Albany city manager did not return multiple calls seeking comment.
"I was shocked, man – a complete loss for words," he recounted. "I told her I wasn't going to be moving my flag."
He said he was told that if he didn't comply, he could face a $1,000-a-day fine and up to 60 days in jail. But the auto shop owner decided to stand his ground.
"She stomped off to her car, got her ticket book and demanded my license," he said. "She wrote me a ticket for flying my American flag on the city's right of way."
After Gieryic raised a ruckus with city officials, his ticket was later reduced to a warning. But he was told the flag still had to be moved – by exactly one foot.
"I'm boiling on the inside," he said. "They didn't demand that I move it. They suggested I do it as a gesture of good will."
Gieyric said he's received all sorts of support for standing his ground – from folks dropping by to shake his hand to others who've offered to help pay any possible fines.
"I got 15 business cards from lawyers offering their services," he said.
Gieryic said he wants the law changed.
"My local city manager has been more than fair," he said. "He stands behind me, but the law is the law and his hands are tied."
He blamed the entire incident on "government getting involved in areas they don't need to be involved."
"The point is – I'm an American," he said. "That's the American flag. That's American soil. It belongs to me and I'm going to fly it. I'm going to fly it where I want to fly it as long as it's not a safety hazard – and it's not."

I have written many articles on the HPV vaccine and have been a big advocate for giving this vaccine to all adolescents . I let my patients know that I even gave it to all of my sons in their teen and early adult years (off label at the time, as it was not initially approved for males in the U.S.), as I had looked at the European data as to HPV vaccine efficacy in both males and females.
At any rate, some parents, while proponents of vaccines, did not want to vaccinate their children during their teen years, "for fear that it might promote early sexual behaviors". I myself had not been concerned about that issue, as I have seen too many teens who never gave getting a sexually transmitted disease a second thought (though they should), prior to having their first sexual experience. I told parents, "I just wish they were thinking with their brains rather than with hormones and genitalia".
My own impression was that by giving the HPV vaccine while re-iterating to teens and young adults the ongoing risks about STI (sexually transmitted infections), we might see more "thinking" before engaging in pre-marital sex. My hope was that by providing information about developing a STI (including those not covered by the HPV vaccine such as chlamydia, herpes, gonorrhea etc) doctors and parents could also be influential in helping adolescents realize that even with HPV vaccine, "there is no safe sex". Double win, right?
There is an article in Pediatrics (February 2014) which confirms that HPV vaccine was not tied to initiation of riskier sexual behavior. A study done at Cincinnati Children's Hospital surveyed 339 female adolescents and young adults aged 13- 21 years following HPV vaccination. They also did follow up questionnaires 2 and 6 months post vaccine. The study showed that giving a young girl HPV vaccine did not lead to the perception that she was protected against STI's nor did it promote sexual activity. The study did show that the girls that received HPV vaccine understood that it only protected them against HPV related disease and the possibility of developing a HPV-related wart or cancer.
Another finding in the study, was that most girls held appropriate perceptions that there was still a need to practice safe sex even after HPV vaccine, including the use of a condom.
So, if a parent is worried that HPV vaccine may lead their teen to initiate earlier sexual behavior, at least there is one study confirming that there is no association in girls. Further studies including boys should also be undertaken.
Could there be an association between not discussing risky sexual behavior, not giving the HPV vaccine and early initiation of sex? Food for thought.

Open Practice Provided Game Atmosphere, Excitement
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay men's basketball team conducted an open practice on Saturday, Oct. 20, providing the Phoenix players a chance to go through game-like situations and providing the Phoenix fans in attendance an opportunity to see the 2012-13 team in action. The practice included the Green & White Scrimmage, which shifted to a black and white scrimmage to allow the team to show off its new practice uniforms, as well as player intros, drills, a three-point contest and a slam dunk contest.
VIDEO: Watch highlights from the slam dunk contest
PHOTOS: Check out a photo gallery from the day
Head coach Brian Wardle started the practice with some non-contact drills, meaning fans got to see junior Daniel Turner (McCordsville, Ind.) back on the floor. Turner is working his way back from an ACL injury which forced him to miss the final 16 games of the 2011-12 season.
"It was great to be back out there with the guys, and I am just trying to work every day to continue to get closer to full strength," Turner said. "It was fun seeing a lot of our fans in the crowd and supporting us."
The team then started its scrimmage, which Wardle broke into three segments with a new score starting each one. The first segment was an 8-minute period, and Green Bay's two Preseason All-Horizon League selections impressed by leading the black team to an 18-10 win. Junior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) had seven points and five rebounds in the segment while sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) had six points and four rebounds.
In the second segment, some players switched sides and the clock was set at 6:00. Sykes teamed up with three Phoenix freshmen and senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) and sophomore Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) to lead White to a 15-9 victory. Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) had six points, going 4-for-4 from the free-throw line, and added four rebounds, an assist and a steal in the win.
The third and final segment was a late-game situations drill the team does regularly. The game started with the score knotted at 56-56 and the clock at 2:00. When the first team got to 60 points, the clock started the teams played it out from there.
Brown scored the first four points for the Black team and the clock started, but junior newcomer Sultan Muhammad (Chicago, Ill.) quickly answered with a triple for white to close the gap. Cougill made a three for the Black team to extend the lead to four, but a jumper from junior transfer Alfonzo McKinnie (Chicago, Ill.) and a pair of free throws from freshman point guard Carrington Love (Milwaukee, Wis.) forced a 1-minute overtime.
On the opening possession of overtime, junior Kam Cerroni (Sussex, Wis.) drained a three-pointer and Black did not trail the rest of the way in winning 70-66.
"Saturday was a great day for our program," Wardle said. "We had a lot of support in the stands from our families, fans and students, and I hope they enjoyed getting a chance to watch our team and interact with our players. Getting out on the floor and recreating game-like situations with referees, timeouts, and fans in the stands was important. I was pleased with our effort and I know we got a lot out of the day that will help us as we continue to prepare for the season."
Brown led all players with 13 points and seven rebounds while Sykes went 3-0 and finished with 10 points and six rebounds. Newcomers Fouse and Love had nine points each while sophomore Cole Stefan (Minnetonka, Minn.) totaled seven. One highlight of the scrimmage was the team's free-throw shooting, as the Phoenix combined to go 31-of-36 from the charity stripe.
The Phoenix got the crowd into the action after the scrimmage with three-point and slam dunk contests. Four players entered the three-point contest and picked fans to team up with. In the end, it was Cerroni, the top returning three-point shooter in the Horizon League, and his teammate who took home the crown by defeating Stefan in the finals.
The dunk contest pitted Sykes against Mays and McKinnie, and fans chose which player they thought would win by moving to that player's section of the arena. Despite being the team's lone player shorter than 6-feet, Sykes won the title against his taller, high-flying teammates.
Green Bay will play its lone tune-up for the 2012-13 season on Wednesday, Oct. 31, hosting St. Norbert College at 7 p.m. at the Kress Center.

Blue and gold makes such great combinations, although one has to be careful with blending them toghether otherwise you'll get a hint of green as a bonus! Blue and gold also reminds me of the royal family, hence the name!
And what could be better than topping this look with some glitter?!
If you're looking for the perfect glitter eyeliner you simply must try the NYX Candy Glitter Liners, they're divine and long lasting!

Amaro: Hamels, Howard trying too hard
Asked to assess the Phillies' position, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. responded in typically blunt fashion.
"We're in a great spot," Amaro said Thursday. "We've played terrible. And we're 3 1/2 games out."
Amaro has a point, as far as the NL East standings are concerned.
The first-place Braves are 10-17 since opening the season 12-1, while the second-place Nationals are 14-17 since their 7-2 start.
On the other hand, the Phillies (19-22) are starting to show encouraging signs, winning three of their last four against two strong clubs, the Diamondbacks and Indians.
A significant test looms this weekend when the Phillies host the Reds (Saturday, MLB on Fox, 4:05 p.m. ET). After that, the Phils begin an eight-game road trip to Miami, Washington and Boston.
Amaro said that changes in the team's struggling middle-relief corps are possible over the next few weeks, with the Phillies currently weighing their options in the minor leagues.
He also said that two of the team's biggest stars — left-hander Cole Hamels and first baseman Ryan Howard — are trying too hard to justify their massive contracts.
Hamels, in the first year of a six-year, $144 million extension, is 1-6 with a 4.61 ERA. Howard, in the second year of a five-year, $125 million deal, is batting .245 with a .713 OPS, six homers and 22 RBI.
"Cole's stuff has been good, but he's pitching with the weight of the world on his shoulders," Amaro said. "He needs to relax. And it's the same with Ryan Howard.
"They're getting all that money and they're trying to be something they're not. They just need to relax and play."

Bio-Soft liners make clean-up a breeze. There's no need to sacrifice convenience when you choose cloth diapers - there will be no rinsing of poopy cloth diapers in the toilet. Bio-Soft liners contain the solid waste: you simply discard the soiled liner in the toilet and flush away the mess.
*when using cloth diapers that feature synthetic fabrics like suede-cloth against babys skin (as in many pocket type diapers), we recommended choosing the large size of liner to ensure that it does not move around inside the diaper
Bio-soft liners are highly biodegradable, however the flushing of any product like this can cause blockage in old or damaged drains or very sensitive septic systems. If this is your experience, please discard pee-soaked liners in the garbage and let soiled liners soak a few minutes in the toilet before flushing so that they can absorb some water and break down a bit before they are released into your septic system.

Great product, still waiting for more
I have been cloth diapering since my baby was born. As soon as she moved from breast milk to solids, I started using the shields. I used several different brands before I found these. They are soft, extra wide for full coverage, and flushable (I only flush in public bathrooms, never in homes, especially septic). I just wish they would be made. I emailed company and they said it was a production problem, they should be getting them soon. That was the beginning of May. I hope I can order soon, I don't want to have to start this search all over again when I've found a product I like.

Love These
We've been using these liners with our cloth diapers for 4 years (2 kids), and we absolutely love them. Once kids start eating solid foods and stools become more formed, these do an excellent job of containing the mess and keep the diapers virtually clean. While our kids seem to have skin irritations to other products, these have never caused issues. And they flush down the toilet without a problem.

NOT Flushable--Possibly Expensive Mistake
These work fine as liners, they do tend to bunch a little more than my fabric ones. However, they are NOT FLUSHABLE!! These went down the toilet just fine but clogged up our main sewer line. If my husband wasn't handy, using these would have ended in a very, very expensive plumber bill. These are fine if you want to throw the liners, but do not flush them!
2013-01-13 17:01:37
love them but they are hard to find :(
I love the small liners fo rmy baby boy they make clean up so easy!! Wish they were easier to find
2012-11-30 15:53:29
Very disappointed with this product! Just bought two rolls of the liners and it didn't contain the poop and the liner ripped as soon as I picked it up. I will not be buying this again!

Easy use, but do not disintegrate as promised
We began using these diaper liners once our baby switched to solids little over a month ago. They work great and make cleaning up messes very easy. HOWEVER, even with recommended use (flush only soiled liners and discard wet), the liners plugged up our main sewer line and had everything back up into our basement after about 3 weeks of use. When the line was unclogged, we found a thick wad of liners that did not even began to disintegrate. Per product description the liners fully disintegrate "within 8 days in the sewage", while Bummis customer service said 28 (!!!!) days. So much for flushable. We are going to give a try to reusable liners instead - may as well and they are cheaper.
2011-03-05 14:58:50
SOFTEST liners I've tried!
I tried these liners first, then a few other kinds because the Bummis were out of stock at my local cloth diaper store. I went back to these because they are literally the softest I have found!
2010-11-22 22:23:36
I was a nanny for a family who used these liners and we loved them. It made my job much easier as I didn't have to spray the diapers after a messy job!

Fantastic product!
I bought these liners when my son started eating solid foods; I was rinsing my diapers out in the toilet, but my stubborn husband kept "forgetting" lol. Since we've gotten these liners I can't imagine how I managed without them! No more mess, and my diaper pail doesn't stink anymore! Whenever someone asks me about cloth diapering, I always recommend these liners. A lifesaver (for me and my washer)!

1 of my CD must haves!
This was one of the CD products that convinced me to do cloth. We're unable to use a sprayer @ our home, so this makes CDing easy and feasible!

Love Love Love Bio-Soft Liners
I was bound and determined to breastfeed and cloth diaper my first and only child (so far), even when everyone kept telling me that cloth diapers were a hassle and inconvenient. I fell in love with Bummis and have been able to prove so many people wrong when I show them how easy they are to use. The Bio-Soft liners make cleaning up poopy diapers super super easy, especially since I don't have a diaper sprayer. I could go on and on about them and Bummis. Fantastic products!!!
2010-11-20 20:35:51
Great Transition Product
These were a lifesaver when we first started out with cloth diapering! It definitely made things easier and less messy! We no longer use them, as we're more able to handle cloth diapering our now 6 month old without the flushable liners. Though, we'll still use this product for the first few months with any other babies we have in the future, and highly recommend others to use this product too!

These are a cloth diapering essential at our house! They're the perfect width to fit a trifolded prefold or an insert, and the length covers the diaper area perfectly. Thick enough to keep staining at bay. I thought these would be a Daddy Essential, but they're a Daddy AND Mommy Essential and make changing time sooo much easier -- esp. when teething or having "poo issues", or when transitioning to solids. Or pretty much any time. :)

Love them!
I love these liners! We don't have a diaper sprayer and these liners are what make me feel like I can cloth diaper my toddler. I love how these liners help the poo just come right off the diaper. The do bunch up some, but I use the smaller size and I have wondered if using the bigger size would help with this problem. I would totally recommend these for anyone who doesn't have a diaper sprayer or who want to take their cloth diapers on the road! Thanks Bummis!

Twice the Poo... Half the work!
Cloth diapering twins could be a daunting task if you were chained to the toilet scraping and dunking all day! But with these liners its a simple task to simply discard the soiled liner and flush! It makes cloth diapering MUCH easier especially when you have twice the poo! We love them and won't cloth diaper without them!
2010-11-20 09:57:48
Can't live without them!
I didn't use liners for the first 5 months with my daughter. Now, at 9 months, I can't live without them! We were tired of rinsing the diapers, and the liners made dirty diapers so much easier to deal with! After our first order, I did try a different brand that was slightly cheaper, but they were so hard and scratchy! Bummis Biosoft liners are definitely the best!

Bummis Flushable Liners
I love that this product exists. I use them once my babies are on solid foods and their poop starts getting extra stinky. I love being able to get most the poop off of my prefolds be peeling off this liner and flushing it. I do wish they were a bit wider so I could wrap the edges around the long sides of my prefolds. That would allow all the poop to stay off of the diaper and it would help the liner not to shift so much. I have had times where the liner just gets all mushed up and the poop winds up missing most of the liner. That leads me to the old dunk and swish mess. (I don't have a diaper sprayer.)
2010-11-20 00:13:45
Thumbs up!
These flushable liners have been great for the transition from breastmilk-only to the baby starting on solids. The liner makes things easy to contain and now that the baby is older and the bowel movements are firmer, they work great - just wrap up and flush! They also help prevent staining of the underlying cloth diaper too.
2010-11-19 19:54:36
best ever
These saved me! My husband was against cloth diapering, until I showed him how to use these. They are so easy to use and literally you just flush the "solids" and put your diaper in your wetbag/pail. The only suggestion I have is that if you use pocket diapers, get the large liners as stated above, so they dont move around too much!
2010-11-19 19:32:11
Best Liners
Okay, I admit, the first liners I used were Bummis Bio-soft liners. But a little voice inside my head said to try out others even if I loved Bummis bio-soft liners. So armed with google search, I researched and tried out some cheaper liners. Well, all i can say is, I'm back to Bummis after trying out two other brands of liners. Bummis bio-soft was first and best. Bummis bio-soft liners will be the only liners to touch my son's bum from now on. Thanks Bummis! BTW, your pre-folds are the best too.

saved me!
I had been having a hard time with our dirty diapers. My son is 9 months and being that he is still breastfed but eats some solids his poops are a very weird sticky gross mess! i was having a hard time even with using a diaper sprayer to get them clean. I am squemish so i had thought about switching to disposible for awhile to avoid this mess. But then someone gave me some bummis liners and they have saved me from giving up! They really handle the mess well and are super soft on his bum!

Bio Soft Liners
I LOVE the bio soft liners! I have used another brand of the liners in the past (they were given to me) and I found them to be like very cheap toilet paper. The worst part was when I flushed them down the toilet. They plugged up my toilet every time and I had to get out the plunger and make a mess. The Bio Soft liners are just what they say they are - soft and barely there. They make clean up a breeze and have never once plugged up my toilet. I also like that they come in 2 different sizes although I have only used the small ones - it's nice to have options.
2010-11-19 17:30:07
Great liners
As my baby is 4.5 months and breastfed, we aren't using the liners for poo containment - yet. We sdo use them for a barrier between our cloth diapers and baby's bum when using a cream for occassional rash. They are super soft and so thin they are barely there. Very much recommended.
2010-11-19 17:13:25
Can't live without the biosoft liners!!!!
These are by far the best disposable liners I've tried! My son has very sensitive skin and we've never had an issue with these liners. They are super soft, durable and don't bunch up at all in his diapers. We jsut went through a bout of runny poop and I could not have survived it without the liners, they caught everything and made washing my diapers a breeze because there was no scraping or swishing in the toilet :)
Loretta Rippon
2010-11-19 17:09:40
are they as great as everyone says?
I have not tried these. I have not felt they are necessary considering the cost and the fact that we cloth diaper not just to be nice to the environment but to save money. So the cost has to be cheaper than disposables for me to use a product. I want to try these if they were cheaper then I would.

Bio-Soft Liners
I do like these liners. If I am using a syntheic material diaper, say a pocket with seuded cloth or microfleece you need to size up to the large no matter the baby's size. Even with a little bunching here and there these liners still make clean up MUCH easier!
2010-11-19 17:06:21
Best Liners
These liners are so much better than other liners I've tried as far as softness goes. I found others were oversized and seemed really rough to touch. The Bio-Soft liners are true to their name. Plus I love being able to flush the mess. Bottom line (no pun intended) my little girl is happier and more comfortable in them and that is the most important thing to me.

For those people who wonder what to do with the poo when cloth diapering. Here is your answer. Just flush it away with the liner. They make cloth diapering easy for people who are a little squirmish about poo. :)

Great product!!
I have been using cloth diapers for 10 months now (my son is 17 months) and only recently bought a roll of these liners to help with poop cleanup. They are FABULOUS!! Makes cleanup SO much easier, just dump in the toilet and flush - no swishing or spraying needed. Only con is that with a very mobile child they can tend to bunch up in the diaper and not catch all the poop. We use them mostly at night and naptime though so it's not a huge issue.

Bummis Flushable Liners
I really want to like these liners, and 5 times out of 10, they do what they are suppose to. The other 5 times, they get all wadded up unless you get them in the exact perfect position in the diaper. The small ones are the worst. HAVE to use the big ones even on a small baby or they dont work right.

Whenever I tell my disposable using mommy friends how much cloth diapers have evolved they are quite surprised. The flushable liners make cloth diapering even easier. I do admit I was quite nervous to use cloth as this was my first child, but honestly the liners make clean up a breeze. I love these liners and will continue using them along with my cloth diapers for all my children.

Bummis Flushable Liners
Not only do I use these, but I recommend them to all the mom's that I sell cloth to. I'm a representative for Everything Birth. So many moms are hesitant to use cloth because they don't want to scrape poop into the toilet or worry with a diaper sprayer. These are the perfect solution! I had tried another brand of flushable liners and they were so tough. These are like a soft piece of fabric and don't keep our diapers from absorbing like the others did. I highly, highly recommend these and have them listed as a necessity for every cloth diapering momma!
2010-09-12 22:04:16
New liners
I'm not sure why this item is forever on backorder in Canada, but I finally got my new roll of liners and it appears that they are different from our last roll. The new liners seem to be super thick and have recently caused problems with our toilet ... in a new house! Anyone else experiencing difficulty? What makes this new product better from the old? So far its sadly not working for us!
2010-06-02 06:13:17
Great Product!
I love these liners! These liners work well in prefold diapers, contours, etc. I can't imagine diapering without them. We have been using them in every diaper and have not had any trouble with them falling apart and/or causing diaper rash. I also love the fact that they can be flushed down the toilet and are biodegradable. I highly recommend these liners!

Bummis Liners
I recently purchased the bio-soft liners after running out of a previous brand. I was sorely disappointed to find that they left pieces of material stuck to my daughter's bum, didn't breathe well against her skin, and left her with a nasty diaper rash. I've never known my daughter to have sensitive skin, but these liners tell a different story. The liner also didn't sit well in her diaper and bunched up in her diaper. Sadly I will be passing these liner onto another momma.

Flushable Liners
I was given the Flushable Liners to do a review on. They couldn't have arrived at my house at a better time. We were dealing with some bowel issues in our house and we were at our wits end on how to deal with it all. Let me just say, not only am I thankful for these liners but so is my fiance. He's never been fully on the cloth diapering bandwagon especially when it comes to #2. He doesn't want to dunk and swish. He refuses to. So these flushable liners were perfect for both of us. Just flip the diaper over and the liner and poo fall into the toliet and.. FLUSH! It's all gone and diaper goes in the pail. You get a very large roll and for a great price. These are also great for taking out of the house on errands or vacation. I just stick a few in the diaper bag and go. Well done Bummis... well done!

Henry, you thought I was serious in my comments, I was joking, there was never a case more solid without any doubt what so ever than OJ's that piece of scum killed those people. Anyone who was up on that trial knows this, it is ludicrous for someone to say they did it, they must be so out of touch it isn't funny.

i'd like to delve back into the psychology of abuse;
Why would someone like G.S.--if he did do it/sandusky etc. do something like this?
a) If you have a lot of money and/or status why risk it?
b) If you have certain urges, there are ways to divert or suppress them. For example we all love money, but most of us will not rob a bank---even if the risk of getting caught is low.
c) i'm not sure why, if one was abused themselves, why this would cause them to repeat the process?
Do you know of any links that discuss the psychology of these adverse actions? Perhaps by learning more about it we could possibly prevent it in the future? In fact, i think we need to make this a top priority in society.
O.J. Simpson comes to mind.

|Never thought I´d read about vigilante "justice" in the UK.
And by the way, that point I made about the manipulator tossing out bait? A discussion like this is a PERFECT place for him to toss out bait. He tosses out bait to see how the other person reacts to this subject! It is the perfect place to "test the waters" and see if you are "his kind" and you can hook up, be it finding a victim or finding a fellow molester whom he can swap stories or skills.
I know this because I had it happen to me in person. Long story but I was a kid about 14 and one of my friends brought me over to an old guys house in his neighborhood who was "cool". This guy had a few teenage boys living there. He had a kick butt stereo, litterally the whole wall was speakers and stereo equipement. Now someone who grew up in the 90's or 2000's wouldn't understand but in 1972 this would have been a big deal, this guy WAS "cool". He dropped "bait" that were red flags to me, I never went back. The "bait" was things that a teenager thinks about sex, and this guy was SOOO "cool" that he was "with you" and said these things like he was a "bud". It was a red flag to me, but others, that bait is taken. Now fast forward 20 years later and I have my body shop, this guy comes in for me to work on his car! He dropped some bait talking as we are talking now about some molester who was arrested! It was a HUGE red flag for me at that point in my life and he saw this and never said another word, he barely finished the sentence in fact. I happened to be friends with a few cops in town and discussed this with one of them. He then told me that this guy HAD been on their radar for YEARS! What he did wasn't forcibly molesting boys, he found boys who were fighting with (or had accepted) their sexuality and were gay. He gave them what they wanted in male friendship, compassion and intimacy. So they weren't there against their will, and the cops could do nothing about it.
There was another guy in town who owned a record store, he always had these young boys working for him and one day I found out that he had been a teacher who was fired over allegations. Where they just "hear say"? I guess, but in standing back and looking at the big picture and how he interacted with the boys in his store it was damn obvious to me after I took off my shades and could see!
This is MUCH more complicated than one thinks, until you start understanding it a little more.
Sandusky was seen NAKED in the shower "wrestling" with a NAKED boy. I would say that is enough reason to slam someones head! If you are that much of a social illiterate you MUST be removed from any position like that. Let me put it his way, that scandal and what has came forth about what others had seen and knew is damn near destroying that college. It isn't some little hear say.
"hersay" is USUALLY a heck of a lot more than one person simply saying "he touched me". The victim is interviewed by doctors and this statement is much more than just taken as words, it is a big picture the doctors are looking for. Things have to fall into place with all the "evidence" making a puzzle until it is complete. Sure there are mistakes like in other investigations. But it is much more than just some guy pointing a finger and some innocent man going to jail.
On your waiting 30 years and every kid at 9 knows, you are very seriously lacking in an understanding of what power someone who manipulates others has. And I am happy for you that you don't have a clue, I truly am, I am happy for you. The manipulator has skills in literally MAKING you think what he or she wants you to think. You have seen Star Wars "These are not the Droids you are looking for", JUST like that, only it takes longer, they MANIPULATE, that is why they are called "Manipulators".
Handle or control (a tool, mechanism, etc.), typically in a skillful manner: "he manipulated the dials".
Alter, edit, or move (text or data) on a computer.
They take even the knowing and "alter, edit or move" the thinking of the victim.
I have been manipulated as an adult businessman was manipulated in a con to get his car done for free, and it WORKED. I can't explain the whole thing but this guy left me so whacked out it wasn't until the middle of the next day that I STARTED to understand what had happened.
"These aren't the Droids you're looking for" is an under statement, this guy made me do what he wanted me to do as skillfully as I had repaired his car. He is a PROFESSIONAL manipulator. And I soon found out with some detective work that this was his life, he lived every day manipulating everyone he came in contact with no matter how small or large, this was his life.
The person standing on the outside says "What a moron to fall for that", but they haven't a clue, just like the person who has never repaired a car in their life wouldn't believe I could pull the bed off their 2000 Chevy pickup and change the welded on bed side before lunch, the person who has never been exposed to a master manipulator can't believe that someone could "fall" for their lies.
I know one thing I will never knock the poor victim of a "pigeon drop" scheme. Pigeon drop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Or Police Warn of Pigeon Drop Schemes and Distraction Thefts Who would be so dumb one would ask? Someone who hasn't ran into or isn't susceptible to the manipulators ways.
The manipulator tosses out bait, little tiny pieces of bait to see if he has a victim, these pieces of bait are totally harmless on their own, you wouldn't think a thing of them. When that piece of bait works for him, he tosses another, again, on it's own, it is nothing and you wouldn't think a thing, he then tosses another, and another until he has planted seeds in your mind, and he has proven to himself that he can go to another step with you, that you are "safe" and he can move on to the next step. Psychological manipulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The mind is a very complex thing, what makes someone shut down and suppress bad memories, or "allow" such a horrendous thing to go on for years, many of these kids are abused for YEARS. You are going to have to delve deep into the study of mental health if you want to understand these things.
Someone standing on the outside looking in says "What a dummy to fall for that", it is pretty friggin obvious when you are standing on the outside looking in. Kind of like installing that quarter panel on a Chevy pickup, the owner of that truck who can't turn a wrench would sit there in a chair with a cup of coffee and watch me do it and then say "I didn't realize it was so easy".

A critique on Veizer's Celestial Climate Driver
In a paper in Geoscience Canada, Veizer (2005) states that 'the multitude of empirical observations favours celestial phenomena as the most important driver of terrestrial climate on most time scales'. This paper was cited by a contributor to a debate on the website openDemocracy . In short, the argument is that the cosmic ray flux (CRF, also denoted as 'GCR' – galactic cosmic rays – in some papers) is the most important factor affecting our climate. Since this issue is likely to crop up from time to time, it is worth taking a closer look at the Veizer (2005) paper ( Here is a link to short summary, but the actual paper requires subscription). [Update: The actual paper is now available as supplemental material on the Geoscience Canada website.] I will try to show that CRF explanation for the recent global warming is easy to rule out.
One of the main planks of the argument that CRF is responsible for the most recent warming is based on figure 14b in Veizer (2005), where there appears to be a trend in CRF from eg Climax neutron monitor (also, see plots at this URL). This CRF-curve was a surprise to me, and furthermore, it's at odds with CRF-evolution presented in figure 17 in the very same paper (showing no systematic change) – how can these accounts be so different? The inconsistency becomes even more apparent when it is argued that the 'balloon and satellite data ([Veizer, 2005] Fig. 17) do not show any clear temperature trend… Instead, their interannual temperature oscillations correlate clearly with … CRF' (p. 22, 2nd column). Again, no long-term trend in the CRF-data. It has been argued earlier on RealClimate that there is no long-term trend in the modern CRF measurements. The lack of systematic trends in CRF and other solar activity proxies is well-known and published in the scientific literature (eg. Richardson et al, 2002). In fact, the CRF curves presented by some of the key cosmic-ray hypothesis proponents, Marsh & Svensmark, do not exhibit any trend, yet it has been claimed that CRF is responsible for the most recent warming (Marsh & Svensmark say that the wiggles correlate, but don't discuss the [or lack of] observed trends).
There are other aspects which appear as problematic for the CRF-interpretation for the recent global warming. First of all, according to IPCC (2001) the night-time temperatures have in general increased more than the day-time temperature (the diurnal temperature range, DTR, has decreased in most areas, except over middle Canada, and parts of southern Africa, south-west Asia, Europe, and the western tropical Pacific Islands). Since individual clouds have a life time of hours, and the CRF-interpretation involves changes in the reflected light as well as ionisation, a climatic response from change in CRF is hypothetically almost instantaneous, and it is a challenge to explain why the night side (where there is no sunlight and hence reflection cannot play a role) warms more strongly than the dayside, if the CRF were to drive the recent warming trend. Another equally important challenge is the fact that there are pronounced ~11-year variations in the CRF, but the presence of ~11-year variations in the global mean temperature are much less pronounced than the trend over the 3–4 most recent decades. If the CRF were so important (and the cloud response near-instantaneous) why do we not see more pronounced ~11-year variations in the global mean temperature?
The paper also gives the impression that there is no trend in satellite-based temperatures (MSU), which is wrong. There are various analyses of the satellite trends, all of which indicating a warming trend in the troposphere.
