Here's a look at Saturday's first two rounds of the NFL draft. Along with the annual infusion of new blood into the NFL, the most intriguing part will include trades.
I anticipate Washington will get antsy for USC QB Mark Sanchez and will give away the farm to Kansas City to get him. That will include a No. 1 this year and next year, and their own No. 2 next year. Washington will trade starting QB Jason Campbell to the New York Jets for the Jet's second-round pick, which then will be dealt to the Chiefs.
I expect Cleveland to deal WR Braylon Edwards to the New York Giants for a first-round pick.
At the bottom are Iowa's draft hopefuls and where I think they could land.

People incarcerated in U.S. Detention Centers face the reality of rape, sexual abuse, and sexual harassment every day. In the wake of the Sandusky trial, I often heard reference to "real justice" being served once he was in prison. Rape in prison is commonly acknowledged as widespread. Rather than gaining public outcry, this reality is joked about, belittled, or even invited. No one deserves to be raped. As I continue exploring the idea of justice and accountability after sexual violence, it seemed important to put a spotlight on some of the realities of sexual violence in detention.
According to Just Detention International most people who experience rape in prison are not violent offenders. Rather, some of the most vulnerable detainees are those who represent many of the traditionally victimized and marginalized communities and identities in society. A person who identifies as or is perceived to be LGBTQ is at particularly high risk of sexual violence in detention. There is little or no institutional protection for LGBTQ detainees, and sexual violence is commonly ongoing.
Youth in detention are also at increased risk for experiencing sexual violence.People who rape and abuse detained youth can be other youth detainees or staff and professionals charged with monitoring and caring for them. A two-part video series, "Keeping Our Kids Safe," discusses the risk of violence, the duty to protect, and the impact of the Prison Rape Elimination Act on the juvenile justice system. It explores strategies for preventing and responding to sexual violence in juvenile detention facilities.
Even detainees who have committed no crime are at risk for sexual violence. U.S. Immigration detainees face similar dynamics of sexual violence and abuse as inmates in criminal detention facilities. In addition, these individuals have no access to an attorney or legal services, and are subject to the decision to deport made by the organization that detains them.
Sexual violence in detention is a human rights issue. Just Detention International works to address this issue through policy reform, education, and survivor services. Many local victim-service organizations also make an effort to provide counseling, advocacy, and support groups within the prison setting. These important and needed efforts make a difference in the lives of people in detention. In May, national standards were released that provide some protections for LGBTQ detainees and others. Beyond this though, it seems important to think critically about what we can do to change our culture around prison rape. I wonder what a feminist approach to detention might look like.

I'm wondering why Ralph Dooley's obit is on the Clepper family website. What's the connection? He's my Uncle.

The connection is a small one, but it is bolded within the obit notice. :)

Benne means butter in Kannada and Murukku mean crunchy savory snack. Murukku is also known as chakali is a traditional treat made during festivals of Diwali and Krishna Janmashtami. There are so many variations of this chakli, but this is a tried and a tested one, the one I can rely one. I learnt this recipe from my mom who has been making these for years now.
'Benne Murukku' is so crispy that it melts when you pop it in your mouth. This is easy to make and does not consume too much time. This forms a good afternoon snack and a good accompaniment for tea or coffee.
On another note, maybe I spoke a bit too soon about FoodWorld in my previous post. It was up for a day and everything seemed well but then it could not stay up long and crashed again. As of now I am not sure when it might be up again, but then I thank you readers for your patience and understanding.?
- 2 cups rice flour
- 1 cup powdered Hurigadale( fried gram dal)
- 50 gms butter/3.5 Tbsp [bring it to room temperature]
- 1 tsp redchili powder? ( according to taste)
- Salt?to taste
- 1 tsp cummin seeds/jeera
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- Oil for deep frying
- Take a big plate and add all the flours, add the salt, red chilli powder, sesame seeds and cumin seeds. Mix it thoroughly with hand.
- Now add the star ingredient 'butter' to this and mix well with your fingers until incorporated. The entire flour should be mixed giving it a crumbly flour texture.
- Note: do not add oil instead of butter as it might not have the same crispy effect.
- Check for taste and add other seasonings if required. Now add water little by little to make thick dough. (Do not add too much water, the lesser water the better).
- Keep the dough covered with damp cloth/towel and set aside.
- Add oil into a big kadai and get it ready for deep frying. Keep the murukku/chakli press ready by greasing it on the inside.
- To make sure the oil if of the correct temperature, drop a bit of dough and when you hear the sizzling sound and it turns light brown it is ready.
- Make small balls of above mixture and put it in chakkali press and press it directly over hot oil and fry.
- Note: The dough might break because of the butter, but that is ok.
- Fry in oil until golden brown. Drain it on a plate covered with paper towel/napkin. Let it cool and store it in an air tight container. Stores well for at least 2 weeks.

A long awaited update to my blog, but at least this time I'm posting an actual picture of the results I've been seeing.
Now, my weight has remained about the same. I wasn't really concerned with dropping pounds. I mainly wanted to get strong and toned. I can honestly say I'm happy with the results so far!
I haven't been doing P90x alone though. I sort of got burnt out on it when classes started back up. I began doing my 30 Day Shred video and the EA Active 2 to supplement on days I just couldn't get up early enough for P90x.
I have found EA Active 2 to be really pretty good. I don't use the bands, I use weights usually between 5-10lbs. depending on the exercise. Also, I make sure I really go at it hard and get my heart rate up there the entire workout.
I haven't been dieting, but I do watch what I eat and make sure not to over indulge. I don't beat myself up if I have a scoop of ice cream, I just don't do it everyday!
I do use protein powder drinks with breakfast (usually a bowl of oatmeal). That breakfast keeps me full well into lunch time! Be careful to read labels on your protein powder because some are better than others.
So there you have it! I'm excited I finally got this update on here…I've been quite the blog slacker lately.

Affection in Garfield is an aggressive emotion, its most frequent expressions normally portrayed as unwelcome and overbearing. In its most common manifestations, we see Jon's desperation for love from Liz, and companionship and respect from Garfield, Odie's indiscriminate attacks of physical ardor, Nermal's narcissistic longing for praise and attention. This is not to say it is a negative, or destructive impulse, just that the infrequency of characters exhibiting reciprocity to caring and understanding give affection a specific power and commodity in the world as Garfield sees it. The means by which Garfield copes with this shortage is to channel desire into aesthetic passion for food, sleep, TV, flowers, etc., which he variously decimates or overindulges and exhausts the love-object. This is less self-delusory than an act of self-deprivation; in the interest of sustaining control over his surroundings and self, Garfield eliminates from his nature those desires which cannot be reliably self-fulfilled. In effort to maintain his Cool, love takes a backseat.
So when faced with warning that his tactics for moving through the world emotionally unscathed may be undermined by force, Garfield panics, and casts his normally cooling, penetrative gaze about in comic impotence. Love comes crashing, blundering in sudden and huge, but unstoppable even with forewarning. Garfield finds himself pressed face-first into a heart that mirrors his own technique of avoiding communication by taking what he wants by force; his eyeballs smushed the unavoidable reality of love's existence. You may be scared, but can't deny it, when it its clutch.

PBS' Genealogy Roadshow - Good Format But What's The Back Story
The 'Roadshow' title immediately suggested to me the lines of folks seen on The Antiques Roadshow, each hauling an old family treasure in the hope that an expert would provide good news about the treasure's remarkable value and place in history. The Genealogy Roadshow doesn't disappoint - there are the long lines of folks seen outside the show's venue but, rather than carrying family antique treasures, they come with family stories and questions about relationships and connections.
D. Joshua Taylor and Kenyatta Berry serve as the experts who present the genealogical findings that answer the family history questions on the show. I think they both do an admirable job of presenting and explaining the genealogy evidence found through what had to be an exhausting amount of research. Both Josh and Kenyatta also do, in my opinion, a even better job in representing the genealogical community. They are not just clever but they also have a sense of humour and an ability to communicate a lot of information concisely, perhaps too concisely.
On the critical side, the show covers a lot of stories in it's fast paced format. Perhaps a few less stories and more depth would work better?
While viewing the show, I was left puzzled as to how the guests were selected. It was clear that there had been some preliminary event when potential guests would have offered their family history queries however if I didn't know what I know about genealogy, I might have been left with the impression that the census records, city directories, archived letters would just appear on online.
That certainly seemed to be the impression of New York Times television reviewer Neil Genzlinger whose tepid review of the show appeared on September 22, 2013. In his review, Genzlinger states, "No frequent-flier miles are racked up by the guests on "Genealogy Roadshow." Mostly, its experts just show them computer screens full of census pages and such (research they could have done themselves with a little search-engine savvy)."
Now I know where I've gone wrong. I just need a little search engine savvy. I'm sorry to disappoint Neil but I think I have more than a little search engine savvy in addition to a pretty good idea of the type of records to look for and how to read them but still I can't find all the answers to some of my family's questions and mysteries.
"Genealogy Roadshow" might benefit from spending a little bit of time looking at the back story, that is the research process used to uncover the answers to the puzzles being solved for the on-air guests. For example, how did an unknown first cousin of a woman inquiring about the father she didn't know, just happen to be in Tennessee in order to step out from a group of onlookers with a two inch thick album of photos and mementos specially prepared for the occasion.
"Genealogy Roadshow" succeeds in showing that answers are possible but I think the show needs to do more to explain how to make possible a reality.
What were your first impressions of the show?
4 comments:
I had the same thoughts! And how long did it take to find these records? Where is the genealogical proof? :-)ReplyDelete
Yes, as a genealogist I want to know the back story. But I'm a fan of "Antiques Roadshow" and I knew what was coming with this genealogy show. On AR the experts give a short history, provenance, and information on retail, auction or insurance values. But they don't tell the audience or the participant how they came up with this information. GR is based on AR, and is expected to be entertaining and fast paced. I understand both PBS's position, and also sympathize with you, the New York times and other genealogy fans.ReplyDeleteReplies
Heather, thanks for the comment. I am also a fan of 'AR' and 'GR' succeeds with the fast paced, entertaining format. Perhaps I've been incorrect in assuming the 'AR' experts don't need to do as much research as I am certain is required for 'GR.' I still think some minor tinkering can improve 'GR' by explaining a bit of the research effort.Delete

I have been an amateur genealogist for almost 50 years so was really looking forward to the "Genealogy Roadshow". I was very disappointed with the format and presentation and felt a lot of the information was just being 'thrown' on the screen. It felt contrived and lacklustre. I have given it a three-episode chance. I won't be watching any more.ReplyDelete

- 1 General Information
- 2 Filing Bug Reports
- 3 Known Issues
- 4 Release Overview
- 5 What's New in Fedora 17 Alpha
- 6 Additional Information
General Information
Filing Bug Reports
Please file bug reports on this Alpha release if you find any problems.
Known Issues
Refer to the Common F17 bugs page for a listing of issues, and any known resolutions, commonly found with this release. This page is maintained throughout the Fedora 17 developmental cycle.
Release Overview
As always, Fedora continues to develop and integrate the latest free and open sourced software. The following sections provide a brief overview of major changes from the last release of Fedora. For more details about other features that are set for inclusion in Fedora 17, refer to their individual wiki pages that detail feature goals and progress. Features for this release are tracked on the feature list page.
The Purpose of the Alpha Release
This release is an installable, testable version of the code and features being developed for Fedora 17 (Beefy Miracle). The software has bugs, problems, and incomplete features. It is not likely to eat your data or parts of your computer, but you should be aware that it could.
You have an important part to play in this release. Either install or run a Fedora Live instance of the Fedora 17 Alpha release, then try using a few applications or activities that are important to you. If it doesn't work, file a bug. This release gives the wider community a set of code to test against as a very important step in the process of making a solid Fedora 17 release. You can make the Fedora 17 release better by testing this release and reporting your findings.
What's New in Fedora 17 Alpha
Beefy Miracle, as expected, is a beefy release, loaded with tasty new features to delight the palate of the most finicky diners.
Of course, we have the latest in GNOME and KDE Desktops. The Miracle includes GNOME 3.4 and KDE 4.8. There is also a rendering improvement to let more users, even those with older hardware, enjoy the GNOME shell goodness. The Beefy Miracle plays well with sweet things, too; the release includes an updated Sugar desktop.
Beefy Miracle flies high above the clouds, including OpenStack Essex, the latest OpenStack release, including Horizon, Quantum, and Qpid. Additional cloudy features include Eucalyptus, CloudStack and Open Nebula.
End users will see support for ICC profiles for color printing, a new and greatly improved gimp, and more consistent and sensible password checking.
Virtualization features continue to ramp up, including a new Xen API, a new virtual storage architecture, improvements to oVirt, a virtualization sandbox, thin provisioning features, performance monitoring for guest, and a new live blockcopy feature.
And for developers, well, the features just won't quit. The Opa language is new to Fedora, and gcc, D, PHP, Java, Ruby, Haskell and Erlang all see updates in the Beefy Miracle. Additional developer condiments include an update of Eclipse to Juno, DIET middleware for grid computing, infrastructure for multitouch, an updated JBOSS application server, improved dependency checking for KDE, and so much more.
Additional Information
How to Try Alpha
This release is accompanied by installable live media of both the GNOME and KDE desktops. With live media users can perform testing and demonstration without installing any software to the hard disk. As this release is largely targeted at developers and contains many bleeding edge packages, this is the best method for less experienced users who want to get involved with testing. The Live media also have an option to install Fedora to an hard disk for the more intrepid users.
The best way to download this release is through BitTorrent -- visit the Fedora torrent server for a listing of available images. Release images can also be downloaded from any of our mirrors. Remember that live images can be used on USB media via the livecd-iso-to-disk utility available in the livecd-tools package on existing Fedora systems. Refer to the USB How-to for more instructions. You can also use Jigdo to download the i386 or x86_64
Verify Fedora
Fedora does not publish MD5 or SHA1 hashes to verify images since they are not secure enough. Instead we have been using SHA256 since Fedora 11. In Linux, you can use sha256sum command (part of coreutils and installed by default) to verify the Fedora image
sha256sum -c *-CHECKSUM
Windows can use the free to download utility HashCalc.
Mac OS X can use the free to download utility hashtab.
Fedora GPG signatures can be verified following the instructions here
Debugging Information And Performance
Fedora kernels have many extensive debugging options during the developmental cycle that have a negative impact on performance but provide developers with more information automatically, in the case of bug reports. If you are running performance analysis on Rawhide or test releases such as Alpha or Beta, make sure you take this into account.
Fedora 17 Release Schedule And Feature Details
Development continues on Rawhide during and after this release, leading to the beta, then the final release. The links below provide the release schedule for both the pre-releases and the final release, as well as the wiki's pages for tracking the various features planned for inclusion in Fedora 17.
