Eagles Trade for Bills tackle Jason Peters
Knowshon Moreno Scouting Report
Photo - Knowshon Moreno - Georgia
The second major blockbuster NFL trade over recent weeks has turned the first round of the NFL Draft 2009 upside down. The Eagles traded their late #1 pick plus a #4 pick next week and a 6th round selection in the 2010 NFL Draft to the Bills for Pro Bowl offensive tackle Jason Peters. The trade was discussed over recent days and was completed with the Eagles giving two later picks after surrendering one of their #1 selections. Interesting, the deal leaves both clubs interested in landing a feature back among their top priorities. Both will be interested in Georgia tailback Knowshon Moreno with the Eagles retaining the 22nd overall pick and the Bills now holding the 11th and 28th picks in the first round. The Peters deal leaves the Bills, Broncos and Lions with two #1 picks each for the NFL Draft 2009.
New Jersey high school running backs will be the prime focus in the NFL Draft 2009 with Knowshon Moreno our #1 prospect at the position. Other running backs with Jersey histories are Donald Brown and Shonn Greene and each is considered a highly rated prospect who will probably be prime draft choices next weekend. Both are NFL feature backs and most likely early pro starters.
Knowshon Moreno - Scouting Report
1. * Knowshon Moreno #24 - 5'11" 215 lbs. - Georgia - Sp. 4.50
Rating 92 - Hindu Theory - Marshawn Lynch
Athletic third year sophomore displayed big time talent as one of the nation's premier playmakers over his Bulldog career. Knowshon combines all the athletic talent to become a top NFL feature back with well rounded skills. He entered Georgia after a record setting career at Middletown South HS as one of the most talented athletes in NJ history. He has natural running skills including terrific vision, excellent cutting skills and good speed to run inside as well as make the big play. He has shown soft sure hands as a receiver to rank among the best in that role in recent memory, though not fully utilized in that capacity as a collegian. His career began with a terrific freshman season that saw him surpass 1000 yards rushing to become only the 2nd Georgia back to accomplish that feat, the other being Herschel Walker. He combines an awesome athletic package that includes size, speed, quickness and hands with natural running instincts. He is very quick to the hole with a good burst of speed through the hole and the cutting skills to put together several moves to create a running lane. He has very good change of direction skills to create room in addition to following his blockers well with the cutback skills to hit an opening with good speed. He has above average breakaway speed to go the distance and make a big play, though he lacks the elite speed of premier backs like Marshall Faulk He has both the power to break tackles and the speed to outrun defenders with some growth potential to get bigger and carry the weekly load as a pro feature back. As a receiver, he has made nice improvement especially as a route runner to warrant a high complete grade, in addition to showing the ability to pick up the blitz consistently as a blocker. He has excellent triangle numbers that have translated into outstanding production on the field at a very high level in the SEC. He is capable of being one of the special prospects for the NFL Draft '09 with further upside potential in time. Within a short area, his suddenness allows him to create running lanes, using his fine speed and power to be a dangerous runner both inside and outside. As a receiver, he creates problems for coverage with well developed hands and route running to play the 3rd down role immediately as a pro. He is refined receiver with the talent to be a fine weapon in that role. He is quick inside runner that allows him to dart through the hole without losing speed and exploding through an opening into the secondary. He ranks among the top backs recently, but not at the level of elite prospects like Adrian Peterson or Marshall Faulk who were the best backs of the last 15 years. He is similar to NFL star Marshawn Lynch in his size, speed, AA and openfield running skills. He runs in a couched style with low pad level to utilize his powerful burst to run inside and will probably add another 10 lbs. to his frame as a pro, making him very effective between the tackles. He provides both the big play ability and the talent and toughness to carry the weekly workhorse load in an offense. He has the combination of quickness, hands, toughness and instincts to become a top rookie NFL feature back. He is a fast fluid runner with quick feet, allowing him to accelerate through the hole and hit the opening using his natural running skills, such as vision, balance and change-of-direction skills to get to the 2nd level. He follows blockers well and can shift gears, hitting top speed quickly and uses his blockers well to set up defenders. He has the power to run between the tackles and the quickness to bounce outside and make a big play in the open field. He is a slashing type runner who must prove in the NFL that he can carry the rushing load on a weekly basis. He has shown the ability to get stronger over the course of the game with the power to wear down a defense and the toughness to earn much of his yardage after contact. He needs work as a blocker especially his reads and hand technique, though he has performed fairly well in that role. He shows the ability to pick up a blitzing backer, but must learn to use his hands better to adjust after the initial contact to sustain his blocks.
The Numbers: Over his final season, he played in 13 games with 250 carries for 1400 yards for a fine 5.6 yard average with 16 TDs and 33 receptions for 392 yards and 2 TDs. In '07, he played in all 13 games with 248 carries for 1334 yards and 14 TDs while averaging 5.4 yards per carry. He also added 20 receptions working with a young passer Matt Stafford. Over his career, he averaged a fine 5.5 yard average per carry and totaled 53 receptions.
The Skinny: Well rounded young playmaker with the ability to be a fine NFL feature back and an immediate impact performer. He has produced in big game situations over his career and wants the ball in critical situations. He has proven up to the challenge vs the best competition in the SEC. Quick tough versatile back with well rounded skills to become an NFL star and impact as a rookie. He combines the size and power to run inside and fine speed and running skills to get outside consistently and make the corner. At the combine, he ran 4.54 and 4.56 times with 25 reps in the lifting. He added a 35.5" VL and a 9'7" BJ. He was impressive in the agility and positional drills with a 6.84 three cone and 4.27 short shuttle to complete a good workout. Highest rated feature back with a top 20 grade in a deep group that has the makings of an excellent overall class. Young athlete is one of underclassmen who entered this January to form a special group of runners. Tough workhorse back with the package to become a top NFL runner. Clubs like the Texans, Jets, Eagles and the Bills interested.
Draft Projection: 1st Round - Top 20 Pick
Detroit Lions - 0-16 - Head Coach - Jim Schwartz - 1st Year
Key Team Needs: 1. QB 2. OT 3. CB 4. DT 5. LB
Photo - QB Matt Stafford - Georgia
1. Quarterback - The Lions would have to be overwhelmed to pass on Matthew Stafford with the first overall selection. They still have young QBs Drew Stanton and Dan Orlovsky and they could be part of trade moves after the draft process begins. Stafford gives them a franchise type passer, though one that should sit most or all of his 1st season.
2. Offensive Tackle - The Lions have savvy veteran LOT Jeff Backus and young vet OT Gosder Cherilus penciled in as the projected starters. They may address it with their #1 pick with blue chip tackle Eugene Monroe on the board. They could go for Eben Britton with the 21st overall selection. If they pass on the first round, they hope to address this in the early 2nd round with William Beatty at the 33rd overall selection.
3. Cornerback - The Lions have only marginal talent here and will most likely address this position at least once early in the process. They love Darius Butler and Alphonso Smith in the 1st round and D.J. Moore in the 2nd round. Their secondary has been sub par for a decade and needs to add top cover men in the early rounds. With their 3rd round selections, they could entertain corners Macho Harris, Mike Mickens and Chris Owens. They will probably address the secondary twice over the early rounds.
4. Defensive Tackle - The Lions traded vet Cory Redding for backer Julian Peterson. It was a sound move but leaves a pressing need on the inside. They love DT Peria Jerry with their second top pick, the 20th overall selection and Ziggy Hood with their #2 pick (33rd overall). They could opt for DT Corvey Irvin, Fili Moala and Alex Magee with all expected to be available in the 3rd round.
5. Linebacker - Lions have addressed this area fairly early in recent years with minimal success except for the addition of Pro Bowler Ernie Sims. They could draft both a Mike and Sam prospect fairly early in the process. They like James Laurinaitis very much and he could be available at the 33rd overall selection. On the outside, they like Clay Matthews and Clint Sintim in the 2nd round position. They also like Tyron McKenzie on the 3rd round for the SAM spot.
Insiders' Insights
The Lions have five of the top 82 selections and can address a few major areas with premier prospects. This is a pivotal draft class after a disastrous decade under former GM Matt Millen. They could trade one of their young passers Stanton or Orlavsky after selecting Matt Stafford for another top 100 selection. They have many needs, but can address several key areas over the top three rounds. They have several key defensive needs that have to be addressed if they expect to compete for the playoffs. They hope to add a bookend LOT in the later first early 2nd round area to develop with Stafford. They also want to add a pass rushing DT will a prime selection. They could address this position early with Jerry and Hood highly coveted prospects. Their offensive line may add a few prospects both left tackle and an interior blocker. Both the linebacker and secondary units will probably be addressed fairly early with one of their top 4-5 picks.
1st Round Pick - QB Matt Stafford - Georgia - Well developed QB can be a franchise type leader.
Alternate Pick - LB Aaron Curry - Wake Forest - Most developed prospect in this draft class.

QB Mark Sanchez #6 - 6'2" 225 lbs. - Southern Cal - Sp. 4.9 - Hindu Theory - Matt Cassel
Athletic strong armed junior QB has developed quickly over his short Pac 10 career while earning conference honors over his final performance. Mark surprisingly entered this draft class after basically just one season as the Trojan starting QB. Though he has enormous potential as a pro, he was a surprising addition to this class. His decision to turn pro was probably influenced by this year's weak group of senior passers. He will most likely earn a high draft ranking on upside potential despite his limited playing experience. He is an above average athlete who has a very good arm and a quick compact delivery that allows him to deliver the ball with excellent velocity, good timing, touch and fine accuracy. He has progressed quickly in all aspects of play since starting at times as a sophomore while subbing for the injured John David Booty. He is a quality passer with fine measureables, including a very strong arm with adequate footspeed that allows him to escape from heavy pass pressure. He can make the quick proper read and deliver the ball into tight spots in the intermediate and short zones. He is an average runner, but shows the ability to throw effectively on the move as well as move quickly within the pocket. He has a very good arm that the pro scouts seek in a prospect with the ability to drive the ball down the field and drop the ball into holes in coverage. As a junior, he made fewer mistakes and made fast progress for a prospect with such limited playing experience. At times, he attempts to do too much to lead his offense that leads to mistakes and turnovers. He is an accurate thrower with the touch to deliver all the passes, and showed fast improvement especially in the deep game over his late career. He displays a live arm with enough mobility and the touch and timing to make the big throws that the position demands. Over his career, he improved his accuracy despite limited playing time. He has a fine delivery and setup with the quick release and follow through to complete the pass. He has the arm to make all the throws and is very effective on the shorter and intermediate routes, leading the receivers nicely to run after the catch. He delivers the ball with good velocity and accuracy with the toughness to hang in the pocket and make the difficult throw. He is very competitive, hard working and shows the ability to direct an offense. As a junior, his decision-making and maturity improved further, though he still needs pocket development and reps in reading coverage.
The Numbers: As a junior, he completed 241 of 366 pass attempts for a 65% for 3207 yards with 34 TDs and 10 picks in 13 starts. During his sophomore season, he started just 3 games and threw for 695 yards with a 60% completion rate with 7 TD passes and 5 picks while backing up John David Booty. Over his career, he made only 16 starts with the great majority of his production over his final performance. At the NFL Combine, he ran a 4.93 time with a 32.5" VJ, 9'8" BJ and nice agility drills. In the passing drills, he showed a strong arm with the timing and touch to make all the throws. He is similar to the former Trojan Matt Cassel in size, AA and upside potential.
The Skinny: This guy looks like a possible top ten prospect off his overall talent and value of the position. He has the arm, mobility and smarts to earn a pro starting grade but only after extensive development. He is a fine prospect with definite NFL starting talent and upside to become a top flight leader. He should move up fairly fast on the depth charts after development. He has the physical and mental talent to be a fine NFL starter with outstanding upside as a passer, but must refine all aspects of the position to be ready for the pro game. Probable early pick in the 1st round with the Jaguars, 49ers and Seahawks all interested. Top 10 prospect with the skill set to be a fine pro leader in time, but he is not ready for prime time playing time early in his career.

Order Special Package Offer
Bengals and Titans awarded maximum Four Compensatory Draft Picks
A total of 32 compensatory choices in the 2009 NFL Draft have been awarded to 16 teams, including four each to Cincinnati and Tennessee, the NFL announced on Monday.
Under terms of the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks.
The number of picks a team receives equals the net loss of compensatory free agents up to a maximum of four. The 32 compensatory choices announced will supplement the 224 choices in the 7 rounds of the 2009 NFL Draft on April 25-26. This year, the compensatory picks will be positioned within the third through seventh rounds based on the value of the compensatory free agents lost. Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors. The formula was developed by the NFL Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this formula.
One club this year (Arizona) will receive a compensatory pick even though it did not suffer a net loss of compensatory free agents last year. Under the formula, the compensatory free agents Arizona lost were ranked higher than the ones it signed by a specified point differential based upon salary and performance.
Thirty compensatory picks were awarded to clubs based upon the compensatory pick formula. By rule, two additional choices were awarded at the end of the seventh round to bring the total number of compensatory selections to 32, equaling the number of NFL clubs. The two additional picks were awarded to Detroit and Kansas City based upon the 2009 draft selection order. (Note: St. Louis and Kansas City finished 2008 with identical records. St. Louis chooses second in all odd rounds and Kansas City chooses second in all even rounds.

In the realm of clinical cancer management, there are numerous professionals who serve as patient caregivers and function as members of a diverse, multidisciplinary team. They collaborate on a regular basis to provide the best care for cancer patients at every stage of their disease course, from diagnosis and treatment to nutrition and symptom management. Below is just a brief look at some of these key players of a comprehensive cancer care team. One must not forget, however, the undeniably crucial role of the patients' families, as they are often the truly "primary" caregivers. The needs they provide are an integral supplement to the care given by health care professionals.

Ways To Reduce Stress In Your Ponies
Stress in horses can cause several health worries, but the good news is that it can be easily spotted and controlled. Stress triggers the releasing of cortisol, the hormone responsible for 'fight or flight' reactions. While this is nature's defence mechanism at work in natural habitats, it could cause disaster in domestic environments. Frequent release of cortisone because of stress can adversely impact body functions like digestion and behavior. It could also damage the reproduction, immunity and cardiovascular systems. Stress may cause dysentery, stomach ulcers and colic.
It is hard to think of the factors that would stress horses in a domestic environment. They are not working 9 to 5, they're not handling choking traffic, they're not fretting about budgets. So what do they fret over?
Most causes of stress in horses relate to switch in routine or environment: changes in feed, bedding, pasture and pasture friends. Even tiny and reputedly insignificant changes are capable of worrying horses.
Below, I give you an inventory of common stress solutions and causes for them.
1. Untimely feeding patterns
While horses spend considerable time grazing. As a matter of fact, they spend up to 70% of their time in grazing. If at pasture, your horses will follow their natural inclinations. If not, you should feed them not less than four times each day, spaced out over the day.
Look out for feeds containing excess carbs, especially of the quick release type. Keep your horses on a feed of the slow energy-release type.
2. Help them work it out
Like with humans, horses work out their stress significantly with exercise. Take them frequently out for a stroll, a ride or some extra turnout. The exercise will help significantly with stress.
3. Isolation
Horses belong to herds. They derive a feeling of security and emotional support from their herds. Horses in a herd understand how to entertain themselves. Each horse in a herd is given their own place in the totem pole, When deprived of others of their species, horses feel lonely and that solitude leads to stress. While the best pasture and herd mates are other horses, donkeys and goats are good as substitutes.
Stable your horses together such that they're in sight of one another. They derive comfort from knowing they aren't alone.
4. Monotony and apathy
Boredom is a giant cause of stress, whether in humans or in horses. Give your horses lots of toys to prevent them from relieving their stress by activities like weaving or cribbing. Mirrors are very good stress busters: plenty of horses find having a look at themselves in mirrors sedative.
5. Boost confidence
Confident horses deal much better with stress. If you consistently but gradually treat your horse to formerly unknown smells, sounds and sights, you are playing on its natural sense of curiosity. When a horse is curious, it chases the object that intrigues it and stress goes out the back door. Make sure you aren't forcing your pony into anything; let it work things out at its own rate.
6. Watch out for contamination!
When your pony is feeling stress, speak to it as much as you can in soft tones. Keep cool and help it keep cool. Don't let your horse's stress trouble you, too.

King Arthur contradicts Steve Pavlina Steve Pavlina, correct me if I'm wrong, claims that it would be ideal to fear nothing at all, or at least act in spite of your fears. In the movie The First Knight, King Arthur says "a man who fears nothing is a man who loves nothing. And if you love nothing, what joy is there in your life?" Admittedly the king adds "I may be wrong". Is he? |
I don't know anyone who fears nothing :p Maybe it means being enlightened? Maybe you could better say "a man who fears nothing loves everything"? In any case, though, the question is probably not a practical one to make. There's no point in fighting the fact we have fears, because that doesn't make them go away. I think it's best to be honest with our fears, and transform them as we find the resources to do so. |
A better question- who would win in a fight, King arthur or Steve Pavlina? My vote, sadly, goes with king arthur because, well, he had a sword. |
Okay, I lol'd at this thread title. But yeah, when did Steve say that it would be ideal to fear nothing? |
Steve should fight Eckhart Tolle to see who really has the power of now |
First of all, I'd have to disagree with Steve's ideal of fearing nothing at all (again, sorry, Steve). Fear is something to be transcended, and that we fear anything is, I argue, the very reason we have this physical existence on planet Earth. I would agree that I think it would be nice to not have to deal with fears, but, then, unless I traverse the deepest valleys, I would likely not appreciate as much the highest peaks. I had to ponder the King Arthur quote for a bit, in order to discern a meaning, which, I can only assume, is that one who loves, fears for what (or whom) they love, while one who doesn't (or can't) love, is not afraid. This actually mirrors my own sentiment above, about valleys and peaks. Fear vs. Love (or Joy). I get it. But, I don't agree with it completely. I mean, whose to say that a person can't love everything, and have no fear? Of course, aside from Jesus or the Buddha, I can't think of anyone who would fit that description, but, well, the point is made. |
First of all: Good post Solipsist. Now, king Arthur was not specific enough when he was talking about fears. We define fear waaay to broad and words make reality seem waaay to linear. Yep. Now, what is fear? It's fear when anxiety overcomes one in conversation, talking to a beautifull boy or girl. It's fear when you are pushed of the building and looking at the pavement coming at you those last seconds. And then there is fear for losing your loved ones. These are very different. Very. Actually all are different. If u fear public speaking today, then the fear you feel tomorrow will be different. In reality, things aren't so lineair and convenient as in language. It's fluent and scaled. Words are in a different language than reality. So let's not try to focus on such seemingly paradoxical bullshize, aight? Uhm I'm straying a bit here. So yes, you have your info twisted. Uhm but I think you don't need to feel fear in order to love, but often it is a by-product. Eliminate the by-product and you might end up eliminating your love. blub ;) no need to think about it, you'll never figure it out or you'll fool yourself into thinking that your right but your actually wrong. sojustdowhateverthefukfeelsinspiredtodo. sorry for off topic garbage. |
I was re-listening to Steve's podcast on Overcoming Fear, and he does say in that podcast that fear is a mistake, if we're afraid at all, we're deluded. He goes on and on about Buddha, too. I think what he's saying is that all fear except for fear of physical pain should be transcended so as not to exist at all. |
I believe that it is not a bad thing to have a fear. But it is a bad thing if you let that fear control your life to any major degree. If we lived without any fears we would put ourselves in danger of finding out what the limits are the hard way. |

Failure: We all hate it. In fact, we don't even like to talk about it. Our pride may cause us to refuse to acknowledge it. Superstitious folks would rather avoid the very thought of it. Whatever the reason, human nature often leads us to turn a blind eye to our failures... More »

Rather than write a novel on why I think Lyle Overbay could be reasonably traded for I'll simply post facts:
-Overbay posted three consecutive seasons of .800+ OPS between 2004-2006.
-He averaged 44 doubles per season in those three years, with his high mark being 53 in 2004.
-JP Riccardi signed him to a four year, $24 million deal after an impressive 2006 campaign.
-He had a disappointing 2007 season (OPS .706)
-He rebounded a bit in 2008 (OPS .777) but still fell considerably short of expectations
-He is owed $14 million over the course of the next two years ($7million per)
-Riccardi would probably be willing to trade him if he could get back a position player that could contribute offensively -or- a starting pitcher since AJ Burnett will almost certainly opt out of his deal.
Mitigating circumstances that warrant consideration:
-Mark Teixeria will cost a fortune, and the last time the Yankees paid a first baseman a fortune he wound up being grossly overpaid, at least most of the time.
-Overbay's 2007 and 2008 campaigns could suggest he's not the answer, but if he reverts to 2004-2006 form he could be a valuable, relatively affordable asset.
-A change of scenery might do him good...the last two times he got traded he posted OPS numbers of .863 (2004 Milwaukee) and .880 (2006 Toronto) in his first seasons with his new ballclub.

LOS ANGELES — You know those tall, leggy beauties that normally carry the Oscar trophies so the stars can present them?
They've been replaced this year by aspiring filmmakers. Six college students from across the country won a contest to help present the Oscar statuettes this year.
"This tradition of the buxom babe that comes out and brings the trophy to the presenter to give to the winner seemed to be very antiquated and kind of sexist, too," said Neil Meron, co-producer of this year's Academy Awards. "They're just there to be objectified. Why can't we have people who actually care about film and are the future of film be the trophy presenters?"
So he and co-producer Craig Zadan developed a contest directed at college students that asked: How will you contribute to the future of film? More than 1,100 students submitted essays and videos, and six were chosen to appear on the Oscar telecast.
They attended their first rehearsal Wednesday.
"I'm still in shock," said ChaRon Brabham, 20, of Brooklyn, a theater major at State University of New York, Pottsdam. "I can't believe it, but it's real!"
The winning students each turned in an essay and a 30-second video about their aims in the film industry, and all said the opportunity to appear on the Oscar show is life-changing.
"Hollywood has always been a dream that was so far away," said Hearin Ko, 19, a sophomore at Boston's Emerson College who hails from Seoul, Korea. "To finally be here and see everything, it brings the dream closer to me. This can really happen if I try hard. It's not as far as I thought it was."
Abe Diaz of DePaul University in Chicago is a chemistry major who always considered film a hobby.
"This is the fork in the road right now," said the 18-year-old son of two doctors. "It'll definitely help in making me more aware if this is something I can do." Continued...
All six winning students will walk on the Oscar stage during Sunday's ceremony. They're each getting a makeover and formal tuxedo or gown for the event as well.
"For a film student to be at the Oscars is huge," said Jennifer Brofer, 30, a Marine Corps veteran who is now a film student at the University of Texas at Austin. "This is where we aspire to be one day."
Other student presenters include AJ Young, from Columbia College Chicago, and Tatenda Mbudzi, a Zimbabwe native studying at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Meron said he hopes the student-presenters become an annual Oscar tradition.
"There's a legacy that we bring," he said. "And if we never do the show again, we would love for this to continue."

the dueling pianos are pretty sweet for a birthday or celebration. Drink prices are a little high but you pay for the location and atmosphere, good place to go on a saturday night
The dueling pianos. This is a great place to chill and listen to music you want to hear I give it Two thumbs up its so much fun DONT WALK " RUM " LMAO

Great Restaurant. This place has really good food and a good atmosphere to go out with your friends and have a good time
Entertainment always. Not just a bar stool and a juke box- Live and exciting entertainment. Crowd is always involved and almost every act is pants-peeing funny!
free happy hour!!!. my friend got one of these and so we all went. the taco buffet was better than i expected and the drink coupons did include wine, but after the happy hour ended and the coupons were gone (you only get 2) the drinks were way too expensive and not that good.
Editorial Review. Dueling piano bar and sing-along provides nightly entertainment.
Fun for everyone!. This place is great! It's a dueling piano bar where you and your friends will spend the whole night singing along to songs that everybody knows the words to. Take people from the office, go on a date, go on a bachelorette or birthday party. There's no way you will leave without a smile on your face!
Want to get out & Howl?. Howl at the Moon is a great place to go to grab a few drinks after work or early on the weekend; The bar gets a little too crowded & smokey for my taste after 11:30 pm. It's a wonderful place if you like to try your talents at group sing-a-alongs after a few hours when the crowd starts to come in & loosen up. I recommend it to all my friends but warn them to eat beforehand, if they're planning on dinner, b/c they don't serve any food there.
the spot. Something for everyone here. reasonable prices and all the fun you can handle. perfect place to take a large group, or just you and a buddy. the only place that will get you singing at the top of your lungs before you are drunk!

We are a group of families that speak German to our children. Our playgroup, which is especially suitable for pre-school children, meets once a week.
There are plenty of activities for everyone – dressing up, riding bikes, craft activities, reading German books, singing and lots of toys to play with. There are refreshments for the children and of course coffee and cake for the adults. We celebrate German festivals such as St Martin's day and carnival and even have a German-speaking father Christmas that comes to the group.
We also organise evenings out to allow the adults to get together without the children and at the same time meet up with those who can not make it to the Monday afternoon playgroup.

Welding in Jacksboro, TX
Dino's Fencing CO - Jacksboro, TX - Phone: (940) 567-2548
Jacksboro Welding Supply - Jacksboro, TX - Phone: (940) 567-5709
Helpful Definition for: Welding
Welding in Jacksboro is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. This is often done by melting the workpieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material that cools to become a strong joint, with pressure sometimes used in conjunction with heat, or by itself, to produce the weld. Many different energy sources can be used for welding, including a gas flame, an electric arc, a laser, an electron beam, friction, and ultrasound. Welding can be done in open air, under water and in outer space. Regardless of location, it remains dangerous, and precautions are taken to avoid burns, electric shock, eye damage, poisonous fumes, and over exposure to ultraviolet light.

Variations of all the highs and lows that the central character of enchantingly beautiful Ruheen experiences in a short period of her life, and all the dramatic moves made by Aditya, that only a love struck individual maybe capable of implementing, really makes the reader want to believe that true love still exists and though there maybe a lot of pain that one has to experience during the journey, but at the end of it, it is all worth it. One of the quotes that really caught my attentions was - "It is love that gives birth to every single emotion under the sun". After reading and relating to the range of emotions that the key characters of Ruheen and Aditya along with the supporting characters of Varun and Malika have gone through, be it truly being in love or even an uncertain feeling of being in love, I can agree with the statement that love truly gives birth to emotions that one would never otherwise experience or realize.
As part of the author's prose, I especially liked how he has made use of the element of introducing and including music in a lot of scenes, as it helps describe the situation and the mood perfectly while connecting and putting the reader in the intended state of mind. I also enjoyed how the story line moves back and forth revealing just enough information for the reader to continue and not necessarily disclosing the entire story, as it kept me engrossed and wanting to know how each event would conclude and the background associated with it. Some of the other techniques that were noteworthy besides description of the characters were Aditya's work life and well as his letters to Ruheen towards the end.

Lual Deng said current average output is now between 450,000 and 470,000 bpd from the two blends -- Nile and Dar.
"For next year, all things being equal, we expect between 500,000 and 600,000. We are aiming at 650,000" bpd.
By comparison, output in Nigeria, Africa's largest producer, averaged 2.2 million bpd in 2009.
Sudan has an estimated six billion barrels of oil reserves.
Deng was speaking at a government-sponsored seminar on transparency in Sudan's oil sector, and promised that the ministry would now start publishing figures on daily output on its website.
"It is the lack of transparency, or the perceived lack of transparency, that has fuelled mistrust between partners," he said. "We want to enhance trust between the north and south."
Last year, non-governmental organisation Global Witness warned that lack of transparency could destabilise the 2005 agreement that ended Sudan's civil war between north and south, which was based on an agreement to share oil revenues.
The south Sudanese are due to vote in January in a referendum on whether to remain part of Africa's largest country, or to become independent.
Deng also expressed confidence that French oil giant Total, which has a huge untapped concession in south Sudan, will be guaranteed to keep it after the referendum.
"They wanted assurances what would happen after the referendum and they have been assured that the contract will be respected," he said, without explaining how he could speak for a potential new sovereign government in the south.

it kind of makes sense
it kind of makes sense
I think whoever wrote that is dreaming. I agree with the 1 comment to the story though
I just don't see it happening. I don't even daydream about it happening. this owner does sign the whale of the free agent season.
durango I hate to do this to you again but the only way Josh Hamilton becomes an Oriole is if you go to sleep and fall into dreamland. There is no chance of him coming here since a certain cheap owner who shall remain nameless refuses to spend big money on a free agent. The O's aren't signing any of the top free agents available and they won't be able to trade for some of the big names available on the trade market (Billy Butler, R.A. Dickey, Justin Upton). This team will be closer to last place (maybe not in last place but no chance they win 93 games again), there will be no magic ride this year.
That was really encouraging.
I expect DD to make some moves, and maybe one big one - but the O's are going to lose something in order to gain something.
I certainly am in favor of the short man loosening up the purse strings, but I'm just not sold that Josh Hamilton is the guy to spend it on. I don't know who would be better, but he just strikes me as someone who is past his best and risky.
I'd certainly rather have him than Swisher.
The market for Hamilton is shrinking faster than a sabermetrician's testicles.
O's made their big splash
just woke up from that dream
and that's exactly what it was

One of my favourite tools for penetration testing is ZAProxy or ZAP.
In case you haven't heard about it you can find more information and download it here.
In this post I will publish an answer Psiinon (the project lead) gave in the ZAP mailing list. I decided to publish this because I was asked the same thing many times, especially from new ZAP users.
Is there any danger when scanning with ZAP against a live website (e.g. create/delete/update/corrupt data)?
Answer: (Psiinon)
I usually try to explain it this way:
Proxying (and therefore passive scanning) requests via ZAP is completely safe and legal, it just allows you to see whats going on.Spidering is a bit more dangerous. Is could cause problems depending on how your application works (and we should make the 'no post' option visible!).Active scanning is dangerous and depending on your app may create/modify/delete data.So the only really safe thing is proxying and passive scanning, the other 2 could cause problems and could be considered illegal if you perform them on apps you dont have permission to test.I have wondered about adding a 'safe' mode to ZAP which will only allow you to do safe things. Thoughts anyone? I know its not something pentesters would use;)Hope that helps,Psiinon
I did searched a bit in the ZAP FAQ or wiki but I was not able to find it. Hope it helps!
Best regards,

Sounds Like: Local TV Icon Captain Jack Duffy Dead at 81
Duffy, who died Monday in Toronto at 81, was one of the stars of Party Game, a fondly-remembered suppertime charades series produced out of Hamilton, Ont.'s CHCH. (The Toronto Star's Richard Ouzounian has a tribute to Duffy here.)
Party Game ran for 11 seasons, from 1970 through 1980, and was basically a swingers party disguised as a charades show. The crummy basement paneling, shag carpeting, bad art and cheap-ass couches pre-dated (and likely influenced) Wayne's World. The laugh track was loud, jarring and completely unnecessary. The announcer was billed as "Gardiner Westbound," which is still funny if you commute between Toronto and Hamilton.
Hard to express the appeal of Party Game if you didn't live through it, but there was something very cool happening amidst all that corniness.
Duffy's "Home Team" charade mates were Dinah Christie and the late Billy Van and they were practically unbeatable at charades. Van was all id, a leering loose cannon. Christie was always professional, girlishly glamorous yet one of the boys. Duffy kinda made it all seem legit. He was an expert player, but he also had a face that made you think he had worked his way up through a 1001 burlesque halls. The Montreal-native started out as a CBC radio singer and even toured with the famed Tommy Dorsey band.
You can check out a clip of Captain Jack in action on YouTube here. (Somebody has disabled the embedding code, unfortunately.) What a blast from the past, that bit where a member of the Home Team would get right to the word by finding a sound alike and then chopping one hand through the alphabet.
That YouTube clip is probably the only place you can ever catch a glimpse of Party Game because 'CH, like a lot of other local market stations back in the days of bulky 2-inch tape, erased almost the entire run of the series, re-using the masters by taping over them. Only one or two original master tapes exist, or at least that was the case a few years ago when I interviewed Stacey Case in Toronto. He was the entrepreneur who hosted the Hilarious House of Frightenstein reunion in 2005, an homage to another 'CH classic starring Billy Van from the early '70s.
Case had rooted around in search of old Frightenstein and Party Game tapes, tracking down the producer of both series, Rafe Markowitz. The rumour that the Frightenstein masters had all been destroyed turned out to be false, thankfully (it airs now on TVLand), but, except for a few snippets, Party Game is probably history, as is almost the entire run of another 'CH classic, Tiny Talent Time, victims of the same tape-over thriftiness which has stolen so many hours of NBC's early Tonight Shows.
Christie had only one hour of Party Game in her personal collection when I spoke with her in 2005. If I'm wrong and more Party Game tapes exist, somebody clue me in and please clue in programmers at TVtropolis, TVLand or Deja-View--this stuff is like crack to Boomers.
There was certainly something intoxicating watching all those weekday afternoon shows back in 1970, '71, '72 and beyond. I was just transitioning from grade school to high school and after years of racing home to kiddie fare like Buffalo's bizarre time killer Commander Tom, the suspiciously well lubricated tomfoolery on shows like Match Game and Party Game was like staying up till midnight while the adults partied in the other room.
The original host of Party Game, former CHUM radio morning man Al Boliska, seemed to be in on the joke, a bit of a co-conspirator. When he died (on his 40th birthday), Bill Walker took over. The epitome of tone and diction, Walker was more formally trained as an announcer but always seemed a bit of a principal in that room, which kinda worked opposite bad boy Van. Walker also sported those wild '70s plaid jackets long before Grapes brought them all out of the closet.
A rotating series of Canadian guest celebrities would be booked each week to play the other team. Jayne Eastwood got in on a few games, as did Dave Broadfoot, but few stand out as much as buxom Quebec actress Nicole Morin. Zut alors! I'm sure I wasn't the only horny 13-year-old tuning in each week to see if she was on the series.
What's missing more than anything on TV today is a sense of playfulness. Party Game had it in spades. Captain Jack set the tone. One syllable, sounds like "tank." Thanks Captain Jack.

I never watched on a regular basis, Party Game. It's fair to say his talents were mostly unused on that series and too bad.
But I sure enjoyed Jack Duffy's work through the early live-in-studio days on the CBC. He eventually got his own show, 'Here's Duffy' after years of guesting as a pop/jazz singer; performing comedy routines on shows like 'The Barris Beat'.
In the 1970s, again on CBC, Duffy hosted a jazz, big-band show, 'In the Mood'. - May 21, 2008 at 6:53 AM
Great homage to Captain Jack...i guess "Gardiner Westbound" said the final goodbye.

is there a Party Game box set?

A good tribute to Jack Duffy.
For some of us oldsters, we remember Jack when he was a regular on Perry Como;s show and his impersonations of Frank Sinatra.
If you could dig up, a Star Weekly article from 1969 or so on Jack's battle with the bottle and his return to tv, after becoming sober. A nice piece as I recall. - June 4, 2008 at 1:01 AM

A radical overhaul of how nutritional information is displayed on the front of the packaging of many food products has been announced.
The government, food makers and food retailers have agreed the new standardised front-of-pack labelling to help make it easier for people to make healthier choices about what they buy and eat.
The Department of Health has today set out what the new food labels will look like and outlined how a colour-coding scheme of energy, salt, sugar and fat will look and how their levels are set.
Currently, food and drink labels often differ in the range of nutritional information provided. Currently, there is no law forcing retailers and manufacturers to display such information and manufacturers are currently only required by law to provide nutritional information if the product makes a nutritional claim. For instance, nutritional information must be on a product that claims to be 'low fat' or if vitamins or minerals have been added to the product.
Under new European Union rules, manufacturers will be required to provide particular nutritional information by December 2016. But any manufacturer that chooses to provide front-of-pack information will have to comply with the EU regulation by the end of 2014.
The new style of labels will follow the same format as this example from a packet of breakfast cereal:
What changes are being made to food labels?
What are kilojoules and kilocalories?
Kilojoules (kJ) and kilocalories (kcal - often called calories for short) are units of energy. They are used to refer to the energy value of food and drink and the amount of energy for our bodies to burn. Kilojoules are now the standard way of measuring energy, although calories are still often listed. Kilojoules are the metric equivalent of calories and 4.2 kilojoules (kJ) is equal to 1 calorie.
An average man needs around 10,500 kJ (2,500 kcal) a day to maintain his weight; an average woman needs around 8,400 kJ (2,000 kcal).
Nutrition labels, when they are displayed, are often provided on the back, side or on the front of packaging. The new, standardised food labels will be displayed on the front of food and drink products and they will routinely include the following information per portion of food:
- the amount of energy (presented in kilojoules (kJ) and kilocalories (kcal), known as calories)
- the amount of fat and saturated fat
- the amount of sugar
- the amount of salt
These amounts will be shown as 'Reference Intakes' (formerly known as 'Guideline Daily Amounts'). Alongside the amounts listed above, food labels will show how much of the maximum daily intake a portion of food accounts for.
Food labels will also contain red, amber and green colour-coding to visually show the nutritional value of food portions. This will allow people to see at a glance if the food product has high, medium or low amounts of fat, saturated fat, sugars and salt:
- red means high
- amber means medium
- green means low
In short, the more green lights, the healthier the choice.
Read more about the terms used on food labels.
When are these changes being made?
Standardised front-of-label packaging will be in place by December 2014 by organisations that have signed up to make the changes. Some have already made the changes and some will make changes from today.
Why are food labels being changed?
Research has shown that the different nutrition labels on food are confusing. These different nutrition labels have arisen because companies have responded to their customers' demand for more nutritional information, but until now there has been no agreement on a consistent format. The new labelling system aims to make it easier for people to make healthier choices, by comparing the same kinds of foods to see if there is a healthier option.
As part of the government's efforts to improve health through reducing obesity levels, the Department of Health is working with food manufacturers and supermarkets through a programme called the Responsibility Deal. This programme aims to get business to reduce the amount of calories, salt and saturated fat in foods. The standardised front-of-pack label is a new Responsibility Deal pledge that food and drink companies can sign up to. Many companies already have taken this pledge to change their food labels.
Public Health Minister, Anna Soubry, said: "The UK already has the largest number of products using a front-of-pack label in Europe, but we know that people get confused by the variety of labels that are used. Research shows that, of all the current schemes, people like this label the most and they can use the information to make healthier choices.
"We all have a responsibility to tackle the challenge of obesity, including the food industry. By having all major retailers and manufacturers signed up to the consistent label, we will all be able to see at a glance what is in our food - this is why I want to see more manufacturers signing up and using the label."
The labels are not designed to 'demonise' foods with lots of reds, but to have people consider what they are eating and make sure it's part of a balanced diet. Download the eatwell plate (PDF, 1.6Mb) for more information about a healthy balanced diet.

Discussions of water and how to get it to the masses continued to occupy the conversation of commissioners Tuesday evening.
Representatives from each of the local utilities met with members of the commission's waterline extension committee in an effort to gain momentum for a budget amendment that will provide money for surveys and grant applications to extend water lines from the 141 exit, to the Pioneer Post Office, Terry Creek and eventually tie into Scott County.

rundown of Michigan's riser
Ohio State Game Snowflakes Thread
What a game, gave my heart a workout but gritty, gutty game by both teams !!!
I've never watched "Rudy" because I can't stand notre dame.
I could make a blizzard myself with the amount of comments/concerns/take-aways regarding this game. I'll collect my thoughts and come back.
Good W though. GO BLUE!
Edit: Late addition after a couple hours of mulling a few things over. I'm nervous about this team, but elated after this win. Great and much needed win. We deserved it even though we were playing with fire there -keeping it a 4-5 point game and not digging down to take a lead as the minutes winded down. But, we got a lead and damn near had it until they tied it up. We need a different play other than a Burke fade away three beyond NBA range...in a TIE game; go to the f**king hoop and draw some contact/dish off for a better shot.
Anyway. I think teams across the country are coming into form (cough I guess not Florida tonight, though I guess one could say Arkansas is) and catching up to us in terms of playing very good basketball. We all thought we would kick Ohio's ass tonight in our own place but they've turned into a bit of a pretty good "team" themselves and playing good basketball (opposed to the Deshaun Thomas show). Sparty is as well. Wisconsin will suck to play against in the Kohl Center Saturday. Come March, many other teams are going to be on their A-game, as well. The end of outmatching everyone will be nearing an end, save for the Penn St.'s of the world.
What I'm getting at is that this Michigan team isn't as dominant as I once thought (no, not quite an overreaction to one game, it's been built over the past couple games against good competition). We have quite a few deficiencies. Against teams that can match-up to us and play good-great ball, wecan and will struggle. We struggled tonight quite a few times, for example. A few examplesof our struggles include lack of an offensive "threat" in the low block, youth in all areas, defense at times plays poorly, an offense that if not hitting threes with good efficiency can struggle to score, for a variety of reasons, and also THE FACT THAT EVERY TEAM THAT PLAYS US HAS A HIGH FG% AND WON"T MISS.
A needed win. And, ultimately, a win is a win.
We have a long view to worry about, though, and problems on defense and free throw shooting could bite us in March or April. Bite us hard.
But winning a tight, heavyweight battle punch-for-punch when the stakes are high will bite someone else in March. So this was good.
Servant. Pastor. Husband. Michigan fan in Duluth.
Heavyweight battle indeed.
That's why we need to show class and tip our hat to our opponent we just BEAT.
Just touch gloves, give a head nod and go celebrate. You don't gotta hug em, don't gotta like em.
Ohio played tough, Craft was a beast on defense. But THJ made shots, Burke was just as tough on defense and we WILLED our way to VICTORY.
It was a heavyweight fight, but we outlasted them in the end. We deserved to win and we did.
"True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty."
I hate Ohio...lived in both A2 and Columbus and Columbus is the worst place on earth. I bleed blue like the rest of you.
BUT, I think respect is what seperates our rivalry from Auburn/Alabama or Florida/FSU.
When I see that poisoning tree shit, it makes me fee good about my rivalry. Then laugh.
Act like you want, but I can give a head nod and keep it moving.
Edit: Also, when it comes to the rivalry...I LIKE that we're the better fanbase in terms of knowing how to act. We're also better in terms of everything else. I LIKE that the Ohio news comes to Ann Arbor and agrees with Michigan fans that a game in Ann Arbor is much better, Michigan fans aren't complete assclowns, and then they go report it back in Columbus in efforts to change (no impact). I LIKE that Ohio fans act like complete idiots and give us reasons to shake our heads and laugh. So I hate when Michigan fans act like Ohio fans...gives me less ammo for my high horse.
"True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty."
What an amazing game. Lots of highs and lows. In the end there was justice after all.
Go Blue
To many of these will be bad for my health.
If I say a duck can pull a truck, shut up and hook the sucka up!
Aaron Craft is the Tyler Ecker of basketball.
Great composure on Burke's part at the end there.
Go Blue!
Exactly. Did you see how wide open Manningham was on that last series???
points... Need to be physical down low. Well fought though.
2013 will be the year.
We needed to go 2-2 in this 4 game stretch and we would have been under a lot of pressure if we lose the first two. I've got to say I'm pretty happy about the season split they way they played us.
Whatcha gonna do, little brother?
Fuck Ohio!!!!! POSBANGS!!!!!
Walmart Wolverines are OK in my book!
Instant classic! GO BLUE!
Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.
Dick Vitale is such a douche, he keeps sayin that they should have blown the whistle on the last play where we blocked the shot
Dick Vitale keeps talking about fucking Indiana when they are nowhere to be seen on the court!!!!
Abort, Retry, Fail?
But he also sounded like he thought the hammer by Craft on Robinson was a flagrant but thought it was a hard spot to call it. I think the no call at the end was a result of the decision not to call flagrant.
5 4 3 2 1 Touchdown!
Touchdown Billy Taylor!
Touchdown Billy Taylor!
It was a foul. Hardaway clearly got a lot of arm before he got ball. I don't know if I would call Vitale a douche over that play.
Karma's a bitch, though. Craft's 3 point heave with clearly no time left on the clock + flagrant foul on GRIII. I don't feel bad about the non-call at the end.
If I was an Ohio fan, I'd be pissed about the no call on Craft at the end. That said, the same guy caught two critical breaks from the officials that were directly responsible for the Buckeyes even having a final shot to win or tie the game in the first place. There's only so many gifts you can get from the officials. And besides, with 7 seconds left, that ball needs to get to Thomas for the final shot instead of Craft. They were just playing with fire there and they ended up getting burned.
"60 percent of the time.....it works every time."
Aaron Fucking Craft. Hate that guy - love the way he plays.
The Team, The Team, The Team.
Kid is a douche but he drive opponents nuts trying to go one on one with him. Plus we provides just enough offense to piss me off.
"Those who stay will be champions" -Bo
Kid is a douche
Exactly what has he ever done to make you call him a douche?
CoE Class of 2007
You continue to do thankless work on all the basketball threads. At least this guy is engaging in personal attacks on the other team instead of our players, unlike about 8 people in the game thread. To pick out just a few gems... (and admittedly, these are easily found thanks to moderation as trolling)
horford is soft gr3 chokes nik has gone away trey burke decides that this game is all about him proving OSU wrong
With about 5 minutes left in the second half.
Game's over.
soft as fuck
hey burke...wanna go to the NBA? no really its okay...because it seems as if your stock has fallen.
You know it's a game thread when someone pulls out "this team has no heart"
Laaaaaaaaazy What a terrible response to the Indiana game. This team has no heart.
To use an old soccer referee dictum, play the ball, not the man. It's ok to criticize someone's play, it's out of bounds to impute misplays to some kind of flaw in players' personal character. Claiming that players are lazy, entitled, or have no heart, particularly this team in the midst of a gutty, tough, grinding game against a rival, when you know nothing about them personally, is really bad form.
What an awesome win! Where are the muppets?
"Long time listener, first time caller."
Happy to have gotten beyond Aaron Craft on the schedule.
To quote a legendary announcer (speaking of Bobby Bowden)..."He is indeeeeed....crafty!"
5 4 3 2 1 Touchdown!
