And Tim Tebow now has some competition for the backup QB job to Mark Sanchez…
Geno Smith
To the 2013 NFL Draft Class,
This is the weekend your life will change forever. You've come this far. You've finally reached the next step of your journey.
It took dedication, sacrifice, and hard work beyond what you may have ever imagined to get here. Now you're joining the proud ranks of the NFL. Wilson, as American made as the league itself, will be the only game football you use from here on out.
Wilson has been part of the greatest moments in all of the NFL and now it's your time.
We're proud to welcome you to the Wilson family.
Very classy move by Wilson.
I love the NFL Draft. A definite highlight on my sports calendar. However, one of the things that I don't enjoy, is what seems like the unnecessary focus on players like Geno Smith sitting in a Green Room, seemingly squirming to the delight of TV producers who are putting on a glorified sports reality show.
Then a company like Wilson, so deeply entrenched in the tradition of the NFL for so many years, reaches out to Smith & the rest of his draft class & it restores a good bit of the sportsmanship & humanity in the sport we all love so much.
Kudos to Wilson & their President, Chris Considine.
Aaaand finally, with the last pick of the first round, reigning champs the Baltimore Ravens went defense (natch) by taking Safety Matt Elam out of Florida.
With Bernard Pollard and Ed Reed moved on, the Ravens needed a spot filled in their safety corps. Oh, and just a side note, the last time the Ravens took a safety in the first round, was in the 2002 Draft, when they picked up Ed Reed himself. If Baltimore gets even half the man Reed is out on the field, they did themselves pretty good.
And then the Dallas Cowboys got in on the 2013 Draft. After trading down with the San Francisco 49ers, the Cowboys used their first round pick to get Center Travis Frederick at the 31st spot out of Wisconsin.
After inking QB Tony Romo for a few more million/years, one way to ensure Romo lasts and maybe becomes effective was to strengthen their interior. The only question about this, was why did they take what was largely seen as 3rd round talent in the 1st round? Is this enough for Romo and his injury-prone backfield?
So, Jeff Fisher and the St. Louis Rams did a little shifting during the 1st round of the 2013 Draft. First they traded up with Buffalo to get Tavon Austin on their receiving core, and now they've traded down with Atlanta to snag Inside Linebacker Alec Ogletree out of Georgia at the 30 spot.
And just like that, Fisher took care of two large concerns the team has had in the past and things are looking up.
Well, the Minnesota Vikings sure had a day. Having the 23rd & 25th picks in the first round wasn't enough, so they went ahead and gave the New England Patriots 4 of their picks to get the 29th pick, taking Tennessee WR Cordarrelle Patterson.
That's two defensemen and a wide receiver to support QB Christian Ponder and/or maybe QB Matt Cassel. They gave up a lot, including WR Percy Harvin, but it looks as though the Vikings are ready to get RB Adrian Peterson a decent shot at a ring.
Just what the Denver Broncos needed, a heavy duty addition to their defense. With the 28th pick in the 2013 Draft they were able to wrangle Defensive Tackle Sylvester Williams out of North Carolina.
So now that everyone knows QB Peyton Manning works and since the addition of WR Wes Welker, why not just add some depth and youth to your defense in front of monster OLB Von Miller?
WR DeAndre Hopkins out of Clemson is now a Houston Texan after being selected 27th in the 2013 Draft.
This is what most people have demanded and expected for the Texans. Another receiver to help distract and keep defenses honest for big WR Andre Johnson. If you're a fantasy football player, watch Johnson do well yet again this year, barring any injuries. Good on Houston.
The Green Bay Packers have taken Defensive End Datone (Day-tone) Jones at 26th in the 2013 Draft.
Green Bay is only becoming scarier and scarier at this point. Having Jones adding pressure on the line this big can only help the Pack and hurt everyone else.

I've never been a big Amanda Palmer fan. I dug the Dresden Dolls, since I really like the whole cabaret rock thing, and admittedly I haven't listened to much of the side projects, but I find her public persona to be irritating... I dunno, I've read several interviews and she just grates on my nerves.
Also, I'm sort of bitter that she gets to fuck Neil Gaiman.
Dresden Dolls toured with NIN for what i believe was the With Teeth club tour, before the big amphitheatre tour with QOTSA. This was pretty soon after the first record was released. Trent has a history of collaborating with people he's toured with, like Saul Williams and Aaron Icarus amongst others. I didn't realize Brian was on Ghosts though.
Somehow this EE project went right past without my knowledge of its existence. Sad to hear that it blows. I love both the first and second DD albums (never heard no, virginia for some reason) and Amanda's solo album. I have only seen her once, but she was the highlight of Coachella 2009 for me. That set was so amazingly good.
6/21/13-6/23/13 - Solid Sound Music Festival - MASS MOCA
If you like her solo show, you owe it to yourself to see the Evely Evelyn show. It is so much better than the album, which I have admitted is a bit of a disapointment.
As for what happened to the Dresden Dolls, I beieve that the juggernaut that is Amanda's creative ego finally proved to be more than Brian could handle.
As for Amanda's public persona, I believe that it will become more than she can handle very soon. It was great when she was a small performer in a small band, but with the attention she has brought upon herself through various media outlets, the facade is beginning to crack. The accessability that she has championed is not sustainable. All of the teeniboppers who believe that because she told them that they are awesome, they are the closest of BIFFLs will soon be crushed by the rubble of their own dreams.
Having spent the weekend with her at my house during Coachella 09, I can tell you that she is sincere about wanting a connection with the people who support her, and she is sincere about the art she creates.
Omg that was you? That is so awesome, I read about that last year in her blogs. Didnt you house her whole crew and make them breakfast? lol. I'm jealous.Having spent the weekend with her at my house during Coachella 09, I can tell you that she is sincere about wanting a connection with the people who support her, and she is sincere about the art she creates.
Would so rather have a new DD record... Oh well.
6/20- Bassrush, Vegas
7/25- Weezer, ACP
7/26- Jay Z/JT, Candlestick Park
7/27- Postal Service, Greek Theater
8/3-8/4- HARD Summer, LA
8/9-11- Outside Lands
8/24-25- First City Festival, Monterey
8/26- Black Sabbath, Shoreline
8/29-30- Alt J, Fox Theater
9/14- Sensation, Oracle

9/26- Crystal Castles, Shoreline
9/28-29- Beyond Wonderland, Shoreline
10/18- Kaskade, Shrine
10/29- Two Door Cinema Club, Fox Theater
Granted, I feel that a new Dresden Dolls record would probably be horrible at this point. Amanda's happy in life and love and that's the kind of frame of mind that doesn't exactly bode well for writing music that comes from a place of bitterness, anger and cynicism (which is what I like about DD).
The new song is all kinds of terrible but I like it.
I don't think it's supposed to be good per se. It's supposed to be over the top and ridiculous to which it passes with flying colors. I don't understand what you expected- a powerful ballad and lyrically stunning song about different lengths and shapes of pubic hair? How collectively women should revolt against the standards set by society and allow it to become like a jungle to suit our animal nature?
True. I'm sure it is meant to be ridiculous. That doesn't make what we're saying invalid. I, myself, had no idea what to expect. I didn't even know she was coming out with a new album until this morning.
I thought the electronic stuff was a nice touch.
Here's the scoop on why Map of Tasmania sounds like it was written in 15 minutes:
"This is like The Shawshank Redemption, only with more tunneling through shit and no fucking redemption." - Malcolm Tucker
So... Anyone going to see her tour with The Grand Theft Orchestra? Just got my tickets for the Roxy show in the mail.

A lot of us complain about service from airline employees now a days, but I heard from a long-time Delta flight attendant yesterday and she said the same works in reverse. She said she used to love her job, but the public is just isn't the same public anymore. She said over the last 20 or so years, people have just got so much more rude and entitled than they used to be - being nice is not so easy anymore.

The Robins Awards Committee will then appoint a committee to select the winner of the "Legacy of Utah State Award" from the eight college nominees. The person is recognized at the annual Robins Awards.

Published November 1, 1998.
We wanted a sweet potato casserole recipe that was sweet without being cloying, rich enough without gratuitous fat, and didn't require the better part of the holiday weekend to prepare. We first found we needed to precook the potatoes for our sweet potato casserole recipe; when we made a casserole with raw potatoes their sugars did not develop. Parboiling exposed them to hot water for a long enough time to bring them to the point of releasing their sugars, but not allowing them to overcook. Next we wanted to use a more interesting sweetener to complement the potatoes—a combination of dark molasses and honey was a perfect combination. Fresh ginger proved to be a natural seasoning and only six tablespoons of butter added sufficient flavor.
If you can find sorghum, a sweetener popular in the deep South, substitute five tablespoons of it for the combined honey and molasses.
Dear Friend,
These days, it's pretty easy to get free recipes on the Internet. I'm sure a search for "roast chicken recipe" will turn up thousands and thousands. But, as with so much on the web, you should tread lightly if you don't know the source.

Our test cooks spend their days obsessively testing recipes until they offer consistently great results. As we like to say here, "We make the mistakes so you don't have to."
CooksIllustrated.com is the only place you can find not only 20 years' worth of our foolproof recipes, but also objective ratings of cookware, and blind taste tests for hundreds of everyday supermarket ingredients (hey, without the proper ingredients and equipment you can still run into problems — no matter how good the recipe).
Let me make a simple, no-nonsense offer. Try out our website FREE for a 14-Day, No-Hassle Trial Offer. I'm pretty confident that CooksIllustrated.com will quickly become an invaluable resource for everything from quick, weeknight suppers to huge, holiday feasts for family and friends.

Be sure of which drive you buy as there is a huge difference between this drive WD20EARS and the other one WD20EURS.
The WD20EURS are effectively the standard WD20EARS drives with TLER set to 0 - ie the controller will give up trying to correct an error instantly, unlike a normal drive that will keep trying for many seconds before it gives up.
When recording video or TV you want an WD20EURS that will just record whatever you throw at it, and keep going even if it misses a byte or two. An error in a couple of bytes just causes a small corruption in the video.
However if you store important files, a single byte error could corrupt everything. In that case, but this drive, WD20EARS.
By the way, this drive runs way more cooler than the Seagates if you are considering using it in a tight enclosed cabinet with less Airflow.
this is the one of the best hard disk from wd.
i bought many pieces till last month,
never expected this 150% price boost in storage sector.
but WD WD20EARX is still tempting comparing other dumb hard disks.
waiting for price cut for more purchases.
To Flip kart>
Please add more WD Hard disk
I placed the order for this drive on 11 June 2012 @ Rs 6696/-and received the HDD on 12th June 2012.FLIPKART ROCKS!!!. NONE OF THE VENDORS AT SP ROAD IN BANGALORE WERE READY TO SELL AT THAT RATE!!. The primary reason why i purchased this drive was because of the 2 TB size and the minor (Rs1300) price difference between 1TB and 2 TB Drives.
THIS PARTICULAR DRIVE HAS SOMETHING CALLED "Advanced Format (AF) Technology". Those who are not so familiar with this one will have problems with installing it as extended partition for your Already existing Primary HDD.You have to download and install software from WD's Site and prepare your System for formatting this new HDD for using along with your present System.The documentation for the same is not that good.
At first, i didn't take care of this aspect and i found that the transfer speeds are too low (Even Teraacopy couldn't help!!!). I checked the site and found that "Advanced Format (AF) technology" had to be used so that the HDD works with its full throughput.Luckily for me, i hadn't transferred much data before i found this out.
IF YOU WANT A LOT OF STORAGE SPACE FOR APPLICATION SOFTWARES, GAMING IMAGE FILES, STUDY MATERIALS, MP3s, MUSIC VIDEOS, MOVIES ETC(THE LIST GOES ON) .....SIMPLY GO AHEAD AND BUY THIS ONE.
After doing quite a bit of search for a cheap yet performing 2TB HDD, finally got my hands on this.
Was confused between Seagate and WD Green Caviar, but former's tranfer rates are way lesser than later and fixed 5900rpm.
I was copying 162GB of files to the HDD for the first time, and i was getting 82-100 MB/s write speeds which i think is awesome.
so 5/5 for the product... \m/
The best cost effective storage solution is not worth being your primary hard drive. Its super silent, super cool while working but data transfer rates are just hovering near 40MB/s. With 64MB cache and WD name, I expected better speed. But, theres nothing to beat the value for money this product offers. Recommended, but do not expect the performance of caviar black series from this. Awesome value for money, super quiet operation and low power consumption.

Home Shop Essentials Storage and Organization FastCap Kaizen Tool Storage Foam |
FastCap Kaizen Tool Storage FoamCurrently In Stock Average Rating: (6 customer reviews) |
Imagine a workshop so clean and organized that you can find your tools with a blindfold on, and tell in an instant if one is missing. With FastCap's Kaizen Foam, it's no longer a figment of your imagination. Just open a drawer to reveal all of your tools exactly the way you organized them, the cutting edges still pristinely sharp. Unlike other versions of tool storage foam, Kaizen foam is layered so you can peel out layers until you reach the desired depth. This means the foam will still have a firm backing once the tools recesses are cut out, and you won't have those annoying floating islands where, say, the middle of a hacksaw was. If you cut the recesses nice and snug, you can even mount the entire panel on the wall. Cut it to size in seconds with a table saw. Sold in two thicknesses: 1-1/8'' and 2-1/4'', each 2'W x 4'L.

Matt Prichard joined the Fox 31 News Team in May of 2012 as a general assignment reporter.
ALBANY, GA -- As the so-called, "fiscal cliff" approaches, folks throughout the United States are looking to pinch their pocketbooks, and southwest Georgians are no exception.
"Well financially I'm going to be saving a lot, you know cutting back on a lot of spending, and probably cut my vacation time down a lot this year too," said local Albany resident, Johnny Lee.
"Planning to save money by staying home more, not buying stuff that I don't really need," said another Albany resident, Marlon Tonge.
And saving cash can be as simple as turning off a light switch, or avoiding eating out. Despite those helpful tips, Southwest Georgians are worried that the fiscal cliff will not only throw the nation's finances into the deep end, but their own as well.
"Yes, cause there's going to be a lot of cutbacks by the government, and that's something I really worry about," said Tonge.
Others though don't share that concern, feeling the fiscal cliff is simply not worth worrying about.
"Not really no, because it's out of my control, I'm not going to worry about it, because whatever happens, happens, but I'll definitely be cutting back on my spending," said Lee.
Early reports say both Speaker of the House John Boehner and president Barack Obama are working on a plan to avoid the fiscal cliff, and make sure the nation's concerns are laid to rest.

It's the first time fares have been increased since 2006.
The base fare will remain $2.50 but each click of the meter would increase from 40 to 50 cents.
The flat rate to John F. Kennedy International Airport from Manhattan jumps from $45 to $52.
Six cents from each trip would go to driver health care.
"It has been six years, they're actually earning less than they were then. A taxi driver today brings home $130 for a twelve hour shift. Now that's twelve hard hours behind the wheel, $130 with no benefits. I think people can appreciate it's time to increase that," said TLC Commissioner David Yassky.
The commission also voted Thursday to review the possible need for a rate hike every two years.
"The public reaction has been in my view overwhelmingly that passengers are prepared to pay more so that the taxi driver can earn a decent living," Yassky added.
Some commissioners opposed the hike because it almost exclusively benefits drivers and not taxi fleet owners, whose costs have increased and who are now responsible for credit card processing fees.
"All segments of the industry need an increase," said Taxi and Limousine Commissioner Elias Arout.
"I don't believe these rules, as drafted, are fair to the other aspects of the industry, particularly the fleet owners," said Taxi and Limousine Commissioner Nora Marino.
Drivers, who are often at odds with the TLC, celebrated the vote.
"Today is evidence that working people can still win in this society. This is a good day for the working class," said New York Taxi Workers Alliance Executive Director Bhairavi Desai.
Meantime, New Yorkers who spoke with NY1 had mixed reactions about the proposed fare increase.
"We are spending too much money for the gas too, that's why it's good for us. We're paying five percent for the credit card, everybody's using the credit card which is we're not getting nothing," said one cab driver.
"I would not take it. I would take the bus and I'm a disabled person, I would pay $1.10; $1.10 on the train and $1.10 on the bus. I would not take the cab, I'm sorry," said one city resident.
The new rates will now be published in the City Record, followed by a 30-day wait period.
Stickers on the sides of taxis will also have to be replaced and meters re-programmed, meaning the fare hike will likely take effect sometime in September.

Here's what's going on: We have reenactors in the field to represent Nick and Historic Clothiers, to talk to other reenactors and help them with whatever they need. I live near Baltimore and I'm the rep for Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. I'm available most days (except Saturdays for now) to come out and talk about what you want, take measurements, answer questions, etc., either one-on-one or at a unit meeting or event. You can contact me at any one of these addresses:
GNLaFrance (at) hotmail.com (best one for now)
Frenchie (at) njsekela.com
TaurusM605 (at) verizon.net
We've been getting e-mails from people who are glad to see us taking a pro-active lead on this. Here's a quote from one:
"While it has been quite some time since we last spoke (years), I have continued to seek out your products when looking to upgrade my impressions. My reasons are simple. I have developed firm confidence and trust in your historical expertise as it applies to the recreations you produce. You do for me what I cannot do for myself. I appreciate and thank you for that... "
I'm excited about this for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the opportunity to learn about period clothing and accessories. Just talking with Nick about what he knows is an education in itself, the man is a walking encyclopedia.
So go look at the Web site and give me a shout!

Independence Township residents will vote for trustees, fire millage increase
Most of the 11 Independence Township trustee candidates agree on one issue — voting in favor of the 0.59 fire millage hike on the Aug. 7 ballot.
There will be two fire millage proposals on the ballot — one for a renewal of the current rate of 3.1688 mills and one for the millage increase. If the measure passes, an average resident would see a $59 annual tax increase.
Fire Department Public Information Office Don Herbert said this tax increase would restore fire services to 2007 levels, before the recession hit. The millage increase proposal will be on the backside of the ballot, and Herbert wanted to remind residents to flip the ballot before submitting it.
"Five years ago, we had 10 full-time operations level personnel everyday," said Herbert. "What we've come down to is we have eight full-time personnel working everyday, nine maximum. With eight people we can't staff three ambulances. It's all we can do to staff the two we have."
The millage increase would add $785,000 to the department's annual budget, giving it a budget of approximately $5 million. The increase would be used for capital improvements, to add three full-time positions and allow the department to retain the fire prevention division, which is currently set to close next February.
Dave Lohmeier, who was first elected as trustee in 2008, voted in favor of putting the fire millage increase proposal on the primary ballot. Lohmeier is the only current trustee on the Independence Township Board running for re-election as a trustee. Trustees Larry Rosso and Mark Petterson are not running for re-election, and Trustee Neil Wallace is running for supervisor.
"Firefighters have voluntarily given up wage increases over the last few years to help. But maintaining quality service is dependent upon a sufficient millage," said Lohmeier, who is running as a Republican. "The current proposal that was unanimously supported by the board provides sufficient funds in a responsible way that supports our current and longer term plans."
Lohmeier's political experience includes serving as a chairman on the Planning Commission, the Parks and Recreation Board, the Wetland Review Board and the Vision 20/20 Commercial Use Task Force.
The 11 trustee candidates, eight Republicans and three Democrats, are running for four spots on the board of trustees.
Republican Jose Aliaga, who is endorsed by presidential candidate Mitt Romney's nephew George M. Romney Jr., also supports the fire millage. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Economics from the University of Michigan and is the founder of the Aliaga Foundation, which promotes conservative values and helps underprivileged children in Latin America. He is in favor of the construction of McLaren Hospital, and said the parks and recreation department should be supported by its own millage. "I see our community has not kept up with the rest of Oakland County, and I believe I will bring new ideas to Independence Township with leadership skills I have. Our community deserves to be economically sound with a strategic focus on growth without raising taxes," he said. Continued...
Republican Brian Foster, a former Oakland County Sheriff's deputy, said he is voting to maintain the current fire millage. "I am a big proponent of lower taxes and the wise use of the valuable tax dollars that our government is entrusted with," said Foster. "It is my goal for the government to remain small. I favor free-market solutions, which is often interpreted as pro-business."
Republican Joette Kunse, a 46-year resident of Independence Township, supports the fire millage increase. She currently serves on the Senior Citizens Advisory Committee and the Public Access Television Committee. She has worked 34 years as a teacher and administrator in three school systems, including Clarkston, has served in the military and worked in finance for the city of Birmingham.
She would like the township to update the Vision 20/20 land use plan, collaborate more with the Chamber of Commerce and other organizations in the community, and create a more interactive website.
"The empty storefronts which may create blight in the community concern me," she said. "While Independence Township has many attractive aspects, we are competing with other communities for distinctive small businesses."
Democrat Jeremy Mitchell, who just moved to the township one year ago, said he believes he can assist families by growing local industries such as heritage tourism, to boost local business, raise housing values and create local jobs.
"Heritage tourism is the fastest growing segment of the tourism industry and is particularly promising for Independence Township. Establishing a Tourism Commission will be a good first step in embracing the positive economic impact that this industry can have within our community," said Mitchell.
Mitchell has much experience in the nonprofit sector for nature centers, faith-based initiatives and in efforts to expand the Earned Income Tax Credit.
Republican Al Pope is in favor of the fire millage renewal, and although he supports the increase, he said he wishes the board approved a more conservative proposal in light of economic concerns in the township.
Pope is a retired Chrysler government public affairs officer.
"I had responsibility for legislative and economic development matters across nine states. I have seen and dealt with good government administrations as well as poor government administration. I have real working experience in how government works. I have very good contacts in both county and state government," he said. "I will bring professionalism and integrity to this office." Continued...
Republican Bruce Quigley was born and raised in Independence Township and is a graduate of Clarkston High School.
"No one wants to pay more to get top quality response, but everyone wants to be protected. The reality is, we need to fund our police and fire from a safety point of view. Emergency services are an area I believe should not be underfunded. Your own life could depend on having updated equipment and enough firefighters," he said.
Quigley, a licensed builder and self-employed construction worker, said he wants to make a difference locally. He also said he would like to help make board meetings more efficient instead of so "ridiculously long."
"I have watched personal vendettas flow out of our township too many times. Way too much money is spent on legal and consulting fees," he said. "I believe it is easy to spend 'other peoples money.' That is the problem — if the wasteful spending came solely out of their pockets, they might think twice. Bottom line we need responsible spending and development for our township to go on."
Republican Ronald Ritchie currently serves as Vice Chairman on the Township Planning Commission, Chairman of the Dixie Highway Corridor Improvement Committee and a member of the township Safety Path Committee. He currently owns Premier Associates, a manufacturer representative company located in the township, and is the former president and owner of Terry Machine Company.
Ritchie said he decided to run for the position of trustee because he believes the township needs someone with business experience.
"We need to further develop the infrastructure of the township, internally and physically, to support future growth. I want to retain the prestige of our township, but actively recruit unique businesses that will continue to make our community the destination point for families to live, work and play," he said.
Republican Andrea Schroeder works as a strategic planning consultant, is a small business owner and was appointed by Gov. Rick Snyder to the State Board of Cosmetology, representing the general public on policy issues of public safety, licensing and industry standards. She was elected to leadership of several Parent-Teacher Associations and completed a year-long fellowship at Michigan State University's Political Leadership Program on public policy and good governance. Successful projects she started was No Spice/K2 Clarkston, and she initiated the push for the installation of new traffic signals near Clarkston High School to improve safety.
Schroeder also supports the fire millage increase proposal, especially after her experience needing emergency response when she unexpectedly went into labor in her home.
"They were there within six minutes of us calling 911, arriving right as our daughter did and saving my husband and I from total panic. Since then, budget reductions have eliminated emergency staff, services and equipment. I want everyone in an emergency situation to have the kind of response my family had," she said. Continued...
Schroeder said she believes public service is an honor.
"I will be happy to see our township leadership stabilize so that our board can move forward with a fresh manner of doing business. Greater focus on protocol and transparency, respectful disagreement and efficiently taking care of township business will demonstrate that Independence is serious about economic development," she said.
Democrat Joe Wauldron is a retired financial auditor and is currently a member of the Clarkston Area Youth Assistance, Oakland County Youth Assistance, Clarkston Rotary, Clarkston Optimists, current president of Clarkston Community for Performing Arts, Clarkston Coalition for Youth, Independence Township Planning Commission and Michigan Humane Society.
Wauldron said he feels the most important issues are keeping taxes low, increasing business growth and not allowing fracking to release natural gas from underground rock formations at Bay Court Park.
He said he has always wanted to be involved in local government. He previously lived in Royal Oak and was a member of the Board of Appeals for seniors and low income families.
"At the present time, I am involved with several nonprofit organizations which require knowledge of how budgets work," he said. "Most of the citizens of Independence Township know who I am and what I have done for this community. If elected, I would have an open door policy that would give the citizens of Independence Township access to me 24/7."
Democrat Kevin Bushroe did not respond to The Oakland Press before deadline. According to the League of Women Voters, Bushroe's top priorities are to protect home values, rebuild infrastructure and diversify the revenue base.

very cute and cozy apartment
appartamento molto carino ed accogliente
Pleasant location, romantic, a little bit dark room(only one doorwindow). We were a bit disturbed by the noise from the street in the night. The description on the internet responds to the reality. Plus the lift was very handy (we lived on the 3rd floor). We had a wonderful stay with very good ...service. The location was great, really 5 meters far from an outstanding Gothic church Santa Maria del Mar, which although rang the bells on its bellfries, wasn´t noisy: it was fantastic. The only noise, which was annoying, was coming from the street and the surrounding when garbage collectors were working at night: roughly around midnight, then later at about 2a.m., 3a.m. and later the noise of the closing time of all the small cosy wine cellars and restaurants was disturbing us. The accommodation was cosy, with a very well-equipped kitchenette (cooker, toaster, coffee-machine, dishwasher, fridge+freezer, sink and glasses, cups, cutlery, plates, pots and pans, too) . Air-conditioning worked too. The bathroom was very good , too, the only thing, which was missing there - it was a shelf or more pegs. Our another suggestion: It would be better to have a brush+dustpan+floor cloth to have the possibility to tidy the room ourselves. To sum up, we were happy to use the accommodation and to contact the contact person and to speak to the staff of oh-apartments. They are very friendly and kind people. Our stay was great. The place is great for a family.
+Good location. +Posibility to heat up the apartment. +Very clean. +Well equipped kitchen. -Small bed sofa. -No linen for the bed sofa. -Dark.
the pictures on the website give the impression that the flat is bigger than it is in reality.
On the web indicated that I had 2 beds and a sofa bed and actually had a double bed and a sofa bed. The microwave did not work and the smell of the accommodation was unpleasant. The contact person indicated that it was not responsible for the information that aoarecia on the web.
En la web indicaba que tenía 2 camas y un sofá cama y en realidad tenía una cama de matrimonio y un sofá cama. El microondas no funcionó y el olor del alojamiento era desagradable. La persona de contacto indicó que no se hacía responsable de la información que aoarecía en la web.
Apartment deliveries were corresponding to the web page, but it was really small. Not recommended for those who, like us, are travelling with baby and stroller in tow as small elevator and entrance door really cramped. Perfect location.
Le forniture dell'appartamento erano corrispondenti alla pagina web, ma era veramente piccolo. Sconsigliato per chi, come noi, viaggia con bimbo e passeggino al seguito in quanto ascensore piccolo e portone d'ingresso veramente angusto. Posizione perfetta.
It is perfect but should be cleaner!
Es perfecto pero deberia estar más limpio!!
There should be instruction on how the equipment works eg the microwave. The toster was faulty and caused the switch board to dejunct. The kitchen was a bit underequiped for food preparation, and a broom to sweep the floor would have been usefull.

As mentioned by a previous visitor, the images in the description of the apartment are very misleading and suspect an apartment with 2 rooms, since the first and second image definitely do not to the apartment belong. For 4 adults, we find the apartment somewhat small. Otherwise, the location is ...very central, in the area there are many shops and bars - this because it is quite noisy but even at night and in the morning. Since each itself must decide what is one more important. So, for us, it was ok.
Wie bereits von einem vorherigen Besucher erwähnt, sind die Bilder in der Beschreibung des Appartements sehr irreführend und lassen ein Appartement mit 2 Zimmern vermuten, da das erste und zweite Bild definitiv nicht zu dem Appartement gehören. Für 4 Erwachsene finden wir das Appartement doch ...etwas klein. Ansonsten ist die Lage sehr zentral, in der Umgebung gibt es viele Läden und Bars - dadurch bedingt ist es aber auch gerade in der Nacht und am Morgen ziemlich laut. Da muss jeder selbst entscheiden, was einem wichtiger ist. Für uns war es ok so.

 ANMERKUNG VON OH (23. Okt.): Anmerkung in Apartmentbeschreibung eingefügt:Bitte beachten Sie dass das gezeigte Apartment stellvertretend für mehrere Apartments ist, die sich im gleichen Gebäude befinden, sich aber leicht unterscheiden können.
Just add your question in the comments box below and we'll get back to you very soon.

A solitary pulmonary nodule is defined as a relatively round lesion that is <3 cm in diameter and completely surrounded by lung parenchyma. It is distinct from lung lesions >3 cm in diameter, which are considered lung masses. Traditionally, the definition of solitary pulmonary nodule has also excluded a ground-glass infiltrate seen on CT scan, as this finding is commonly associated with bronchioalveolar cell carcinoma and does not fulfil the physical characteristics of a nodule. [1] For the purposes of this monograph, we will consider ground-glass opacities as solitary pulmonary nodules.
Management goals
The goals in managing a patient with a solitary pulmonary nodule are to distinguish the benign from the malignant nodule and, when malignancy is either confirmed or strongly suspected, to expedite resection.
For solitary pulmonary nodules, established clinical features (e.g., patient age, smoking status) and radiographic findings (e.g., calcification, growth rate, size) help determine a probability of malignancy. If necessary, non-invasive and/or invasive testing is used to more accurately determine the probability of malignancy to a level that enables a decision to be made regarding observation or resection. Therefore, the proper use of these tests mandates knowledge about their performance characteristics. Decision analysis approaches using Bayesian methods may also assist with the calculation of the probability of malignancy, although these methods have not consistently outperformed the clinical assessment and testing approach.

Foodborne trematode infections
Key facts
- At least 56 million people suffer from one or more foodborne trematode infections.
- People become infected through the consumption of raw fish, crustaceans or vegetables that harbour the parasite larvae.
- Foodborne trematode infections are most prevalent in South-East Asia and South America.
- Foodborne trematode infections result in severe liver and lung morbidity.
- Safe and effective medicines are available to prevent and treat foodborne trematode infections.
Foodborne trematode infections affect more than 56 million people throughout the world. They are caused by trematode worms ("flukes"), of which the most common species affecting people are Clonorchis, Opisthorchis, Fasciola and Paragonimus.
People become infected through the consumption of raw or poorly cooked fish, crustaceans and vegetables that harbour the minute larval stages of the parasites (see table 1).
Foodborne trematode infections are zoonoses, i.e. they are naturally transmissible from vertebrate animals to people and vice versa. They have complex life-cycles that usually involve two intermediate hosts. The first intermediate host in all cases is a freshwater snail, while the second host differs: in clonorchiasis and opisthorchiasis it is a freshwater fish, while in paragonimiasis it is a crustacean. The final host is always a mammal.
People become infected when they ingest the second intermediate host that is infected with larval forms of the parasite. Fascioliasis does not require a second intermediate host and people become infected when the larvae are ingested together with the aquatic vegetables to which they are attached (see table 1 for details).
Table 1. Epidemiological characteristics of foodborne trematode infections
Disease | Infectious agent | Acquired through consumption of | Natural final hosts of the infection |
Clonorchiasis | Clonorchis sinensis | Fish | Dogs and other fish-eating carnivores |
Opisthorchiasis | Opisthorchis viverrini | Fish | Cats and other fish-eating carnivores |
Fascioliasis | Fasciola hepatica, F. gigantica |
Aquatic vegetables | Sheep, cattle and other herbivores |
Paragonimiasis | Paragonimus spp. | Crustaceans (crabs and crayfish) | Cats, dogs and other crustacean-eating carnivores |
In 2005, more than 56 million people were infected with foodborne trematodes and over 7 000 people died.
Cases of foodborne trematode infections have been reported from over 70 countries worldwide; however South-East Asia and South America are the most affected areas. In these regions, foodborne trematode infections represent a significant public health problem.
Within countries, transmission is often restricted to limited areas and reflects behavioural and ecological patterns, such as people's food habits, methods of food production and preparation, and the distribution of the intermediate hosts. Information on the epidemiological status of foodborne trematode infections in Africa is largely missing.
The economic impact of foodborne trematode infections is significant, and is mainly linked to the expanding aquaculture industry.
The public health burden attributable to foodborne trematode infections is predominantly due to morbidity rather than mortality.
Early and light infections often pass unnoticed, as they are asymptomatic or only scarcely symptomatic. Conversely, if the worm load is high, general malaise is common and severe pain can occur, especially in the abdominal region, and most frequently in the case of fascioliasis.
Chronic infections are invariably associated with severe morbidity. Symptoms are mainly organ-specific and reflect the final location of the adult worms in the body.
Clonorchiasis and opisthorchiasis: the adult worms lodge in the smaller bile ducts of the liver, causing inflammation and fibrosis of the adjacent tissues and eventually cholangiocarcinoma, a severe and fatal form of bile cancer. Both C. sinensis and O. viverrini, but not O. felineus, are classified as carcinogenic agents.
Fascioliasis: the adult worms lodge in the larger bile ducts and the gall bladder, where they cause inflammation, fibrosis, blockage, colic pain and jaundice. Liver fibrosis and anaemia are also frequent.
Paragonimiasis: the final location of the worms is the lung tissue. They cause symptoms that can be confounded with tuberculosis: chronic cough with blood-stained sputum, chest pain, dyspnoea (shortness of breath) and fever. Migration of the worms is possible: cerebral locations are the most severe.
Prevention and control
Control of foodborne trematode infections aims at reducing the risk of infection and at controlling associated morbidity.
Veterinary public health measures and food safety practices, are recommended to reduce the risk of infection, while, to control morbidity, WHO recommends preventive chemotherapy and improved access to treatment using safe and effective anthelminthic medicines (drugs that expel the worms).
Preventive chemotherapy involves a population-based approach whereby everyone in a given region or area is given medicines, irrespective of their infection status. Individual case-management involves the treatment of people with confirmed or suspected infection (see table 2).
Table 2. Recommended treatments and strategies
Disease | Recommended drug and dosage | Recommended strategy |
Clonorchiasis and opisthorchiasis | Praziquantel: – 40 mg/kg in single administration, or – 25 mg/kg three times daily for 2–3 consecutive days |
Preventive chemotherapy: – In districts where the prevalence of infection is ≥ 20%, treat all residents every 12 months – In districts where the prevalence of infection is < 20%, treat all residences every 24 months, or treat only those individuals reporting the habit of eating raw fish, every 12 months |
Fascioliasis | Triclabendazole: – 10 mg/kg in single administration |
Individual case-management: – Treat all confirmed cases – In endemic areas: treat all suspect cases Preventive chemotherapy: – In sub-districts, villages or communities where cases of fascioliasis appear to be clustered: treat all school-age children (5–14 years) or all residents, every 12 months |
Paragonimiasis | Triclabendazole: – 2 x 10 mg/kg in the same day (individual case-management), or – 20 mg/kg in single administration (preventive chemotherapy), or Praziquantel: – 25 mg/kg three times daily for three days (individual case-management) |
Individual case-management: – Treat all confirmed cases – In endemic areas: treat all suspect cases Preventive chemotherapy: – In sub-districts, villages or communities where cases of paragonimiasis appear to be clustered: treat all residents every 12 months |
WHO response
WHO's work on foodborne trematode infections is part of an integrated approach to the control of neglected tropical diseases, and includes:
- development of strategic directions and recommendations
- support for mapping in endemic countries
- support for pilot interventions and control programmes in endemic countries
- support for monitoring and evaluation of implemented activities
- documentation of the burden of foodborne trematode infections and the impact of implemented interventions.
WHO is working to include foodborne trematode infections in its mainstream preventive chemotherapy strategy and ensure that their worst consequences (cancers of the bile duct) are fully prevented.
WHO has also negotiated an agreement with Novartis Pharma AG whereby this company will donate triclabendazole for the treatment of human fascioliasis and paragonimiasis. The medicines are shipped free of charge upon application from ministries of health. WHO invites all endemic countries to take advantage of this donation programme.

This camera is so hard to use for the average person. too many settings to contimplate, and by the time you get it all set for the picture, your photo opp is gone. I only had this camera for 6 mths, and while on vacation with my family, the shutter froze and great pictures were lost. I cannot even access my photos on file to download now. I do not recommend this to anyone!

A head-on vehicle collision claimed the life of 27-year-old Falls of Rough resident, Steven Puckett, on the morning of Tuesday, March 5.
At approximately 7:50 a.m. The Grayson County Sheriff's Department requested a Kentucky State Police reconstructionist to work a two-vehicle accident on Ready Jackson Road about five miles southwest of Caneyville, reported Master Trooper Norman Chaffins.
A 2004 Honda Civic driven by 27-year-old Puckett was eastbound on Ready Jackson Road approaching a small hill near the 1800 block.
In the westbound lane a 2006 Pontiac G6 operated by 25-year-old Danielle L. Preston of Caneyville also approached the small hill.
As both vehicles topped the hill they met in the center of the roadway and struck one another head-on.
The Civic came to final rest in a ditch on the eastbound side while the G6 came to final rest in the ditch on the westbound side.
Puckett was killed instantly in the collision.
Preston suffered injuries to her lower extremities and was transported to The Medical Center in Bowling Green by the Grayson County Emergency Medical Services.
Chaffins, who investigated the crash, was assisted by the Caneyville Fire Department and the Grayson County Sheriff's Department.
Grayson County Coroner Joe Brad Hudson said Puckett passed away as a result of multiple blunt force injuries sustained in the accident.
Hudson said Puckett was driving unrestrained at the time of the accident.

The U.N. monitoring mission in Syria will remain in place for now, despite having halted its activities amid rising violence, its leaders said.
Security Council members met in private with the mission's leader, Norwegian Maj. Gen. Robert Mood, who halted operations Saturday. He reported then that the escalating violence between government troops and opposition groups was making it too risky for the monitors to do their jobs.
"I conveyed first and last that the suffering of the Syrian people -- the suffering of men, women and children in Syria, some of them trapped by fighting -- is getting worse," Mood said. However, he added, "I remain committed to the mission, in the position we are currently in. We're not going anywhere."
And Herve Ladsous, the United Nations' peacekeeping chief, told reporters that, "for the time being, we have decided not to touch, not to modify" the observer mission.
But a U.N. diplomat, speaking about the session on condition of anonymity, described Mood's briefing as "gloomy."
He told council members that monitors had been targeted directly 10 times and indirectly 100 times, the diplomat said. Monitors' vehicles had been attacked nine times in the prior eight days, the diplomat quoted Mood as saying.
Mood told reporters after the session that gunfire and shelling were "coming much closer" to the monitors, "and we have been targeted several times." He said he was reviewing conditions daily and hoped to resume operations soon.
About 300 monitors are in Syria ostensibly to ensure that all sides in the conflict comply with a six-point peace plan brokered by joint U.N. and Arab League special envoy Kofi Annan. But the April cease-fire took place only in name, and fighting has increased sharply since late May.
Routine government shelling and massacres of civilians have been reported in recent weeks. Opposition groups say more than 13,000 people have been killed since President Bashar al-Assad launched a crackdown on anti-government protests in March 2011. The U.N. estimates the death toll at more than 10,000.
At least 52 people were killed Tuesday in Syria, according to the Local Coordination Committees of Syria, an opposition umbrella group.

It is once again that time of year when one never knows which way the wind will blow.
We suffer through great gusts of hot air, or frigid blasts all over the country, breeding illness and insanity.
At least the damned groundhog gave us something to look forward to. (Yes, I KNOW I've ended a sentence with a preposition. "Something for which to look forward" seems just too frigging presumptuous.) Cabin fever has people on edge. There seems to be nothing but bad news on TV.
Of course I am referring to Valentine's Day.
If I see one more jewelry commercial I fear I will gouge my eyes out with a melon baller. I can't grab the remote fast enough. But as soon as I change the channel there is another assault on my senses. Open hearts and diamond rings and circles of infinity…oh MY.
The sappy, gorgeous, heterosexual couples, (even the OLD ones are perfect,) gaze into each other's eyes lovingly. A woman excuses herself to go dance around by the ladies room while she texts all her friends. He went to JARROD!!
My favorite Valentine's Day was when I was in second grade. I had a crush on a pale, sickly boy with a runny nose named Richard Allison. I won an award for the best card, a giant pink hippo, and the most creative Valentine box, decorated with doilies, Red Hots, and candy hearts. Our Moms had purchased multi-packs of cards that said things like, "Valentine, You Fly Me To The MOON!" or "Be Mine Forever!" Boy, were WE naïve? Right?
I believe ignorance is bliss. I probably wouldn't have even tried to draw a giant pink hippo surrounded by a tulle and hearts tutu, or wasted my time cutting doilies had I known what this love thing was REALLY about. It's ICKY!
I mean, I never had to actually touch Richard Allison or even talk to the kid for God's sake. It wouldn'thave devastated me had I not received a card from him. But that wouldn't have happened, because everyone in the class was required to address a valentine to everyone in the class.
We marched around the room placing our alphabetized envelopes in every box. Rejection and torment were not options. We couldn't spell well enough to write mean things on the cards anyway. We barely signed our names.
Had I actually had to LIVE with Richard Allison I probably would have found him highly annoying, especially the runny nose part.
Indeed, as an adult, I have discovered that most of the men I dated were pretty annoying. You do realize that men HATE Valentine's Day …don't you?
It was always SO satisfying to get a bunch of dyed carnations from the Exxon station down the street after enduring endless flower deliveries to everyone around me at the office. What kind of a sadistic, trumped–up holiday DOES this to people? Can I get a WITNESS?
And so the actors gush.
There's a close-up of a perfectly manicured male hand opening a velvet box for a beautiful woman who gasps, covers her mouth, and tries to tear-up spontaneously while she looks lovingly at the actor across from her, who she may or may not hook up with after the shoot, before she goes home to hubby.
About D. Klein: I live in Safety Harbor and plan to be a famous writer someday so I can buy a slick pair of expensive shoes and travel to Pittsburgh, or some other exotic place.

1975 Kawasaki Z1-900 Restoration
Posted 12 August 2010 - 05:37 AM
xr650r2000 said:
Tools and supplies: Sandblaster/sand $125; zinc plating kit $75; aluminum polishing kit $25-30. Other materials: various paint $75, various abrasives/sandpaper $20; maybe another $20-30 in cleaners, chemical and rags.
For the bike, I'd say I have at most $1000 in parts. More than half of that money was in the wheels and tires. There were a few chrome pieces I had to replace like the shocks and the steering stem bolt. Those were pretty bad. I didn't buy the first thing I saw. For instance, the levers I bout (aftermarket) $15 for the pair on Ebay. If there was anything that had the "Make Offer" option on Ebay I'd make an offer. The shocks were listd for $99 + $13 shipping, I made an offer of $87 + $13, an even $100 and they accepted. Chrome hardware like on the top clamp I sat and polished every bolt. I did replace some of the small zinc plated 6mm stuff with new hardware from Lowes. I might have spent $30 tops on new bolts and lockwashers. I repaired and refinished before I replaced. The seat had a tear in it that my wife sewed up. Crap like that will save you a ton of money.
It's still not 'pristine'. Over the winter I'm going to get all the misc chrome parts together and get them replated. Things like the rear brake pedal, the grab bar behind the seat. I'm going to try to repaint the handlebar switches and replace the phillips screws fastening the engine covers. I probobly have about $150 or so more to spend over the winter.
I can tell you this, having that sandblaster 'on hand' is the only way to go. I made a friggin beach outside my bay door. lol If you think you're going to get away with just getting the frame and swingarm blasted you're wrong. There's all sorts of small brackets and fasteners you'll need to strip down. It was definately worth buying. You should try to buy a pressurized tank system instead of the gravity feed like I bought. Mine worked 'ok' it just took a little longer. Just from plating the axle adjusters and a couple other small parts the zinc plater paid for itself, so you might want to look into one of those.
Refinishing the body was the most gratifying. And finding that 2 part clear coat was the icing on the cake and gave a nice deep shine. The hardest part was waiting for the paint to dry between coats.
Posted 05 November 2010 - 02:22 PM
The restore looks great. I am 90% through my '75 restore that I have been working on for 5 years. Just like you my bike also belong to my dad. I have hit a snag and was hoping you could help me out.
Since it has been so long since I broke down the bike I can't remember how the front of the main wire harness is routed through and around the front part of the frame and the gauge cluster.
Do you have any pictures that show the wiring harness in the front part of the frame? My wires that connect to the front lights are bare and exposed just behind the headlight bucket, are these wires suppose to be tucked inside the headlight bucket? Are these wires suppose to be wrapped in a sleeve? Also, all the electrical works but I have a couple of wire that are not connected to anything, did you have this well or is everything suppose to be connected to something? I am thinking these two loose wires are probably meant to be used on the European models and thus are left unconnected on the US model.
Any insight you have would be greatly appreciated?
Posted 08 November 2010 - 06:29 PM
All the wires connected to something, do you have any photos of yours and the loose wires? I can take a pic with the headlight removed if you need more help.

Original housings.
About 15-20 minutes later. I used a small wire brush to help along the stripper.
Then soda blasted any remaining paint.
Make sure you run taps through any open threads after soda blasting. The soda clogs up threads.
Ready for paint. PJ1 doesn't recommend a primer using this particular paint.
I like the Fast Black because it looks like a factory finish, not too "wet" like most paints.
Posted 21 February 2011 - 09:37 AM
You have to be real fast using this paint. It should stand up to bike washes since it's dishwasher safe on glass. The extra paint wipes off with water, but if it dries you'll have to touch that area up with some Fast Black sprayed in a cup an a small brush. I had a damp, almost wet paper towel rolled up in a tight roll to wipe off the excess. Just udab the paint into the letters with a small brush, also brish side to side to really fil up the letters. Then immediately wipe off. I tried a small, damp sponge too but sometimes it picked up more paint than I wanted. Only do one word at a time.
Back on the bike.

Those bikes, 76 900's, are pretty desireable too, so I wouldn't ruin anything you can't redo. There's alot of hackers on these bikes. I'm on kzriders and Z1 owners club. Z1OC has more guys looking to preserve the bikes, KZ rider all you see are 1/2 done bobbers and cafe projects.
If your bike is in good shape, or close to it, you'll have a decent investment keeping it as close to original as possible. Post some pics!
Oh, and the most important thing: Do NOT throw anything away! Save everything you take off the bike, even hardware, it's all hard to find and worth money. Complete tool kits can fetch $500+.
Posted 28 April 2011 - 12:17 PM
I have a couple small parts I'm getting ready to install along with a larger front sprocket to handle the highway better.

"The lightening lotion is phenomenal. It is lightweight and very non-greasy. This is important to me because I have very oily skin. In addition, the lightening lotion gives your skin the most amazing glow. The glow is better than a light sun-kissed tan. More importantly, this skincare system did not break me out. I have extremely sensitive skin and I did not experience one blemish during the 6 week trial…"
"I also noticed that JolieMD made my skin very very smooth. It improved my skin's texture by 100%. Seriously. I am always struggling with blackheads and big pores, but my skin feels smooth as a baby's. I am sure that is the slow and daily exfoliation caused alpha-hydroxy acids in the softening serum. Last week my niece touched my face and she said "Toicha, your skin is so smooth". Boy that made me feel good!
"Overall I really love this product! I am definitely going to use JolieMD Metamorphosis as my skincare system of choice; not because it totally got rid of my dark spots. But because I have not had one pimple or black head since using the product and like I said my skin is so soft and smooth! The two-part system retails for $95 dollars and I think it is absolutely worth it."
