Do you sense a theme this week? It may or may not have been intentional.
Stephen Emond's debut Happyface is unlike many books I've read recently. Told through a diary format, to include email messages, pages of sketches, comics, and instant messages, this is the story of Happyface. But who is Happyface?
That's the entire premise of the story. As readers, we gain insight into exactly who Happyface is through this journal, filled with fragmented thoughts and drawings. We know Happyface has had a rough home life, and he hasn't always had luck with the ladies, especially Chloe. At the beginning of the book, we know Chloe will play an important role in Happyface's life, but we don't know how, especially when Happyface and his mother leave their home and move to a new city to get a new lease on life, away from dad. This means a new school . . . and new girls.
Happyface used to be a loner, but the move seems to have made him a little more popular. He's making friends at the new school, and he's found a new girl to crush on: Gretchen. But Gretchen's got a bit of a past she's hiding too, and Happyface will have a hard time breaking through to find out what that past entails. It makes sense that she's the one who has given Happyface his moniker.
Although so much revolves around the obsession Happyface has with Gretchen, there's more depth to this story. Chloe will make a reappearance, and we will discover why it is that Happyface's mother and father divorced.
Unfortunately for me, the story took too long to develop in this book. I felt like we don't know anything about Happyface for the length it took to get to the Big Event that gives us as readers a lot of feeling for him. His journal is real, like that of a high school boy focused on girl issues, but with the Big Event, I would expect any boy to write about that issue more. Likewise, when the Big Event is brought up, it's at a very awkward moment, and having been given no heads up about it prior to the announcement, I felt tricked as a reader. There was ample opportunity to introduce it slyly in other spots, which would have made it felt more realistic, rather than a convenient explanation for other plot points and character issues.
As a reader, I'm never sympathetic for Happyface. I think he's weak, and because I don't get enough into his head, I can't say that I'm particularly sad that he's too scared to ask any of these girls out. In fact, I think he deserves what he gets at many moments, particularly when it comes to Trevor, the other boy in Gretchen's life.
The ending of the book really was the icing on the cake for me, though. I felt it was far too much of a message, and it felt too much like a Full House ending, with everyone living happily ever after. All he had to do was remove his mask. That's not a spoiler. I kind of wish we got a little more time with Happyface, to see how things panned out after his great revelation. We only get about nine months with him, and in that time, he goes through a heck of a lot.
What I thought would be such a fantastic book for boys might end up being disappointing for them with that sort of ending. Fortunately, this book has an incredible format going for it, as it reads sort of like a manga. I think the wimpy kid aspect to Happyface will appeal to older fans of Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid, though the didactic ending will leave them feeling a bit cheated.
I handed this title off to some of my 9th grade patrons, though, and the responses I got were pretty positive. They enjoyed the glimpse into the life of the kid, and they, too, drew the comparison's to Kinney's title. They suggested it as a good read for anyone in middle or high school, though I'd think middle school might be a bit young for some of the issues brought up here. Everyone loved the format — it is unique and stands out as memorable for that reason.
So while this wasn't my favorite book, I have a feeling it'll get some great teen reception because of the readalike quality to Kinney's highly-popular titles and because of the great format.
Happyface will be available March 1, 2010 by Little Brown Books.
* The publisher sent me an ARC of this title. They also clearly paid me sums of money to give it a glowing review and ignore any and all flaws I as a reader might find because obviously, every reader will love every book. Seriously, though, I strive to point out the strengths and weaknesses of every book I read, so why I need to explain that I got an ARC is ridiculous…but I am really appreciative for the publisher's support in letting me preview titles and offer them to kids to look at, too.

[tweetmeme source="elizabethev" only_single=false]Here I am, talking about September when we're already three days into October. It's sort of like when I "discovered" Harry Potter three months before the final movie came out. Yes, I realize they were books first. Or like the time I learned about this cool new band called Mumford and Sons, six months after everyone else. Including my dog. Better late to the party, than never to arrive… right? Right?!
Jill, my foodie pen pal for September sent me the sweetest package last week. She included a great note, detailing the package's contents and a bit of meaning behind each item. In addition, Jill included two of her favorite recipes: Bobby Flay's ginger-soy-lime marinated shrimp and crock pot peach dump dessert. I have a feeling Nick would love that shrimp recipe!
- Al's Popcorn (the sinfully chocolate variety… rawrrrrrrr)
- Mis Rubin's White Magic seasoning
- White truffle oil
- Yogurt covered raisins
- A delicious looking bar of chocolate from an event her company sponsored (to benefit wellness programs, provided at no cost to cancer patients)
And (this girl knows the way to my heart), a whole lot of Crimson Cup tea!
Thanks to Lindsay, each month provides a new opportunity to connect with fellow bloggers (and readers) and exchange fun foodie mail.

Students in the United States face more than one trillion dollars in student loans. As the cost of a college education continues to grow, more young twenty somethings find themselves struggling to find employment with tens of thousands of dollars in debt. Despite the statistical fact that a college education is a good investment over the course of one's lifetime, the prospect of crushing debt drives some away from traditional college educations all together.
For those who can't afford to pay for college, but decide to attend it, the prospects of a prosperous life after graduation can often be delayed by a decade. Even with financial aid and loan options, interest rates can mean big fees.
Scholarships provide students with money they are not required to pay back but must earn through distinguished academic or athletic accomplishments. While some scholarships are aimed at the underprivileged, many in need are forced to turn to high interest loans. For those who receive well paying jobs out of college, repaying loans may not be a problem but for the reported 50% of graduates who are unemployed or underemployed, the price of their four years of education can cost them a lifetime of financial stress.
In response the growing student debt as well as in line with the Islamic principle of avoiding interest, The Islamic Society of North America and the Islamic Development Bank created a unique interest-free loans option for college students
The loans are offered as fifteen thousand dollar annual scholarships to college students enrolled or intending to enroll in medical sciences or engineering. The money is then repaid by the student, without interest, to the scholarship fund in installments thus replenishing the fund for future loans.
Applicants eligible for the scholarship must have show both academic success as well as financial need.
While these loans are particularly lucrative for Muslim students who are seeking interest-free options to finance their increasingly costly educations, even those without religious obligation to avoid interest payments find that the option is far more practical and plausible for them as well.
Other faith-based groups, as well as individual foundations have begun to provide interest-free loans to students, such as the International Association of Hebrew Free Loans. Though some loans are restricted by geographical region, others like The Bill Raskob Foundation offer interest free loans to students around the country.
With a new class of incoming college freshman around the corner, this generation of students may find scholarship and loan applications more valuable than their college applications.

How to save money when looking for Hotels Stansted
Book a flight out of Stansted airport and you might think about staying in Accommodation Stansted the night before to make travel plans a little easier. There are plenty of hotels Stansted that offer great quality accommodation and if you booked a room in a fine establishment you'd have a short transfer to the airport the very next day. The only problem with Hotels Stansted is they can prove to be pretty pricey. Most travellers choose to fly from Stansted because the flights are cheaper in the first place. It'd be pretty pointless if you saved money on a flight from this airport only to blow a hole in the holiday budget staying at one of the luxury Hotels Stansted has to offer.
What's the solution? How about a night in a B&B instead of staying in Hotels Stansted? Bed and breakfasts are much cheaper than Hotels Stansted and many of them are more charming as well.
Find a four-star property
Compare the price of Hotels Stansted to B&B Accommodation Stansted and there's no comparison. You'll easily find a good quality guest house that offers a room for below £80, could you say that of the leading Hotels Stansted can provide? Plus there's another great reason to choose a B&B over Hotels Stansted. You are treated to a first-rate customer experience at a bed and breakfast the service is friendlier than anything you'll experience at Hotels Stansted.
Get your holiday off to a flying start and stay overnight at affordable accommodation in the area, steer clear of pricey Hotels Stansted that like to charge you the earth.
Keep it simple
Okay you might argue that hotels Stansted are closer to the airport than other types of Accommodation Stansted. Sure you'll save money staying in a B&B instead of Hotels Stansted but you'll still have to drive to the airport the next day. Know what? Some guest houses offer their customers a transfer service and they even provide parking facilities as well. So you see staying at a B&B is just as convenient as booking into Hotels Stansted located near to the airport.
If you still want to go ahead and book Hotels Stansted then do so, it's your prerogative after all. However, if you want to save money on overnight accommodation ignore Hotels Stansted and check into a B&B instead.

The government's 2% inflation target will require a 1.5 percentage-point premium on interest rates because of spiralling food and energy prices. This will lead to sharply lower growth and rising unemployment, according to a study released today .
A report by the Ernst & Young Item club, which uses the Treasury model to forecast the economy, urged the chancellor, Alistair Darling, to exclude food and energy from the inflation target or risk excessive pain for voters in the run-up to the election.
Peter Spencer, chief economic adviser to the Item club, said food and energy prices alone were contributing more than 1.7 percentage points to inflation as measured by the consumer prices index. This left little room for other price increases if the government's 2% inflation target was to be met. With food prices set to rise, oil prices threatening to break $150 a barrel, and fears that household energy bills could leap 40% by the end of 2008, other prices would have to fall significantly if the Bank of England's monetary policy committee is to get inflation back on target over the next two years.
Spencer said that to hit the target, interest rates would have to remain higher, resulting in a 0.75 percentage-point cut in GDP and a 60,000 increase in unemployment.
He said the surge in global food and energy prices highlighted a weakness in the inflation-targeting regime and there was a case for moving to a core measure of inflation that excluded food and energy.
"I think it is time to take another look at the way that the inflation target is specified," he said. "What is the sense in asking the MPC to target a price index like the CPI that places a big weight on food and energy that are set beyond its control in world commodity markets? It is imperative that UK wages and costs remain restrained. But it is not necessary to repress them further just to offset food prices.
"This is not a time for dithering. The chancellor must give the Bank a clear steer and accept that the consequences will reflect his judgment on the trade-off between holding to an arbitrary inflation target in the face of a major global shock or supporting activity and employment."
The report found Britain was more exposed to rising food prices than its peers, with a trade deficit in food equal to 1% of GDP.

Ages 7–12
Have you ever thought about what crazy things could happen if you gave an animal a treat? The answer might be more than a little surprising! In this writing workshop based on Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond's popular If You Give A Mouse A Cookie series, we will explore how small actions can lead to zany consequences, and how an everyday situation can turn disastrous—or hilarious! Taking place at the Gallery at Market East, this is a perfect opportunity for parents to get some holiday shopping done without the kids. And, as a special treat after the workshop, participants are invited to help paint the "How Philly Moves" mural, which is being installed next spring on the exterior of the airport.

BANGKOK, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Southeast Asian stocks were
mixed on Thursday, with Malaysia eking out more gains to a
record high amid hopes about the country's fiscal deficit, while
the Thai index retreated as telecommunications stocks fell on
concerns over quarterly results.
Kaula Lumpur's composite index was up 0.3 percent at
1,819.81, building on Wednesday's rise that pushed the main
index to a record close of 1,814.11. Shares in Tenaga Nasional
was the most actively traded, climbing 1.6 percent.
Malaysian assets were relatively strong, including a rise in
the ringgit as some investors hoped the government may
deliver measures to improve the fiscal deficit.
The Thai index eased 0.2 percent at midday, led down
by shares in mobile phone operators including Advanced Info
Service as analysts forecast weak July-September
results due to traditionally low season for mobile use in
Thailand during the period.
Stocks in Singapore and Vietnam trimmed
earlier gains to trade nearly flat while Philippine shares
slid 0.7 percent as concerns over China weighed on
broader Asia.
Indonesian stocks were up 0.5 percent, after a 0.8
percent gain in the previous session.
Foreign investors bought back shares in the region on
Wednesday after recent withdrawals, with Indonesia booking $86
million of net foreign inflows after five sessions of outflows,
while the Philippines noted $4 million in inflows after three
days of outflows.
Navis Capital Partners, an investment firm based in Malaysia
mainly investing in Southeast Asian markets, said returns for
Southeast Asian equities continued to be driven by what was
going on in the United States.
"Outlook is positive for Southeast Asian equities as
continuing debt problems and nomination of supposedly dovish Ms.

260z RB25DET swap
Posted 05 October 2016 - 03:26 PM
Welp figured it might be beneficial to document this process instead of starting a new topic everytime I have a question.
Also I'm posting this on mobile so I can't embed pictures. If anyone wants to do that for me that would be swell.
Okay so that's my 260z which has an L24 with dual SU carbs. The engine is an L28e out of a 77 280z. I'm gonna build the motor a little bit and either upgrade it to a megasquirt system or triple carbs.
Also I need a little help with identifying some of the stuff in the last picture. I think I know what some of the stuff is like the AFM but I have no idea what the other parts are or where they go.
Hopefully I'll update this thread over the weekend because I'm home for fall break.

Bout time for an update. Unfortunately my phone decided to destroy the pics of the taking it apart process and end pictures so I only have like 3 pictures.
That being said I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the smaller round tubes are inside the exhaust ports?
As for the performance the plan right now is flattop pistons and triple webers, as for cam/valves/springs/etc I was hoping someone could recommend some products? As it stands right now I was planning on buying the MSA stage II or stage III cam kit and then spending a bunch of money at datsunspirit. I'm gonna give them both a call tomorrow and see if I can get some more info and figure out what they recommend for a daily driven car before I pull the trigger on anything.
Also big thanks to dattokai for embedding those pics for me!

Posted 21 October 2016 - 11:34 AM
The small tubes are for injected air from a belt driven pump. They reach down into the exhaust port closer to the exhaust valve and provide oxygen rich air to ignite the unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust stroke.
What do you need an RB 5 speed for? won't fit the L28.
Posted 21 October 2016 - 11:41 AM
I'm looking for the rb engine and trans. I'm thinking about doing an RB swap instead of the L28 for the 260z and put the L28 in my 240z instead.

Try an engine importing company.
Posted 22 October 2016 - 04:28 PM
Looks like a good start! L28 is the way to go for fun.
The Megasquirt fuel injection is the route to go for more horsepower and torque.
The tripple carbs will SOUND way better.

The mustang in the back of the first picture should be going to it's new owners next week sometime so after that I'm gonna start sourcing an RB25 and take that L28 apart.
Yeah that's what I meant. What companies should I be looking for? Every thread I find on this is either several years old or is full of dead links. Most companies I already know of say it'll be like February before I could get one.
Posted 12 November 2016 - 05:05 PM
Bought an RB25! I found a good deal on a local RB25 full swap so I went and picked it up today. I'm going home next weekend and I plan to fab up some mounts and such so expect some pics next weekend.
Also is there a way to edit the title or should I just make a new thread?

Thanks I appreciate it!
Is there anyway I can keep my stock speedo and tach? My friend said might be possible to convert them to a digital signal. I did some research and I can't find anything about it. Alternatively does anyone make stock gauges that have been modified to make this work?
Posted 14 November 2016 - 06:04 PM
Find an electric Speedo with the same sweep as your stock gauge. Swap the electric guts into your gauge bezel. If it doesn't read correctly, use a Dakota digital unit to correct that signal so it reads right.
You can also use a digital Speedo converter to drive your stock Speedo. Look up "cable x" or "Abbott box".
Not sure about the tach, unless you can gut it and put in electronic guts

Before I start this update can I get some feedback on the size of the pictures? I personally think they are way too big but unfortunately the iPhone 7 takes really big pictures. I can resize them down a little before I post them but if the size is just right then I can leave it.
Also if anyone wants to follow me on instagram I'll probably be posting a lot of pictures over there that don't make it on this thread. Instagram
Update #1
I'll start this one with some better pics of the RB itself. As you can see it's actually really clean and the gauge cluster said it only had around 40k miles on it and I'd be inclined to believe it given the condition.
As for progress on the car me and my dad started taking it apart but unfortunately we got a late start today so we didn't get much work done.
We got the hood off, radiator removed and unplugged everything the engine and took the console out. Tomorrow all we need to do is pull it out.
As for the RB I got the power steering pump, AC compressor, CAS, and top timing cover off. Unfortunately the salty air in the container rusted the cam gears a little so I'll have to pop those off and sand them down.
Plans for tomorrow are take remove the engine, trans, driveshaft, and dash from the Datsun and then get a crank puller and take the crank pulley and bottom timing cover off and see how timing stuff looks.
Posted 19 November 2016 - 02:32 PM
Update #2
Unfortunately this is going a lot slower than I had hoped because I didn't get a lot of the bolts and screws with this motor so I've had to run all over town hitting up hardware stores.
Got the motor mostly assembled. Sanded and polished the valve covers then painted them.
Also removed the engine, trans, driveshaft and put them in the engine pile.
Tune back in Tuesday when I attempt to make motor mounts.

Everyone says something about struts? I probably have the skills to make coils work but I don't know a lot about suspension. What exactly makes it so difficult?
Posted 24 November 2016 - 11:26 PM
Hey guys quick question. I know it's difficult to put coilovers on the S30 but I'm curious exactly why it's difficult?
Everyone says something about struts? I probably have the skills to make coils work but I don't know a lot about suspension. What exactly makes it so difficult?
nothing is difficult but buy techno toy tuning coil over kit and cut the old spring perches off and weld the coil over perch on the rest is bolt up
you can buy other brand coil over set ups but the techno ones are great
Posted 27 November 2016 - 05:07 AM
Coilovers are not difficult, they just take some planning and access to a good welder. The BC Racing kits and T3 kits are pretty good options but install and adjust differently. I have the BC Racing setup and i installed them in about a day. If you have the skills to do the RB swap a adjustable coil over setup will be cake.

Hey hey! Happy Monday.
Most of you in the states are probably off today, right? Hard to believe how easy it is to get out of touch with holiday schedules. I don't even know if today is a holiday here in Curacao.
Oblivious much. :/
Anyway, it seems like a good day to review all that was the month of March, with some new stuff mixed in for fun. For me, it was one of those months where I feel like I didn't actually finish much. I worked on a lot, was a bit all over the board…but let's see what was actually done, shall we?
We started off with a fun journey to determine …
And a three tier deck with built in fire pit and seating in Indy.
But I can't blame anyone, because in March the very sweet Marilyn from 4 You With Love kindly bestowed upon this little space the Versatile Blogger Award and the always inspiring Heidi Milton said some of the kindest words about me and this here blog that I ever did hear when she gave us the Liebster Award. I'm still smiling…at the realization I'm not nearly as cute in person as I can make myself appear from a far off photograph. 🙂
And I didn't really do anything with these lovely awards other than have a celebratory cocktail
every day. But I sure do appreciate the recognition. Thanks so much ladies!!
Then I posted about a few It's a Cinch projects I did to go along with our theme for the March Last Tuesday party…and I posted some cinchy inspiration ideas from a couple of blogs I love.
For all kinds of easy peasy project ideas you can always refer to the links at our It's a Cinch party, which happened to be the same day I shared a super simple spring wreath I made.
One of my all time favorite projects was announced when I was on a little family vacation, the Pass It On Project. An idea to pass along some kindness just for the sake of it.
I've been linking up to everyone I know who is participating so you all can follow all of the kindness. Just refer back to my post and you can see what everybody has been making and sending. And if you know of anyone I haven't linked up please just let me know. I definitely don't want to leave anyone out. 🙂
Oh, and you may have noticed this fun little button in my sidebar, but my canvas dog silhouettes (the post that keeps on posting) were selected as a finalist for consideration for a feature in Cottages and Bungalows magazine! Squeal! Sorry for all of the yelling but that is Crazy Exciting!
No, we didn't win, but my new blog goal is to be some-way-or-another featured in some sort of magazine. I mean seriously, how frickin' cool would that be?!? Well, as of yet I wouldn't know how cool, but I sure hope to find out. 🙂
In the meantime I'm off to have more celebratory cocktails … it is after all a holiday … isn't it? 🙂
And … just a friendly reminder that these months in minutes can be easily accessed from the stamp like buttons appropriately named by month right. over. there. ———————————–>

Today is special. I'm stretching the boundaries of my tagline:
Let's gossip and share on all things that help us feel pretty… inside and out.
I typically post and share on beauty/skincare that "help us feel pretty," but not today. Today, I want to share a "compliment" with you that can "help us feel pretty" too! Let me explain~
I was browsing through photos on Instagram when I randomly came across this gorgeous ring.
I immediately began stalking "Compliment" on their website, Facebook and Instagram (@shopcompliment)… drooling over the beautiful jewelry pieces.
I found out that the husband and wife duo are full time teachers, have set up a scholarship fund and donate 5% of their sales to the fund! I have a special place in my heart for education, and was thrilled to see a couple follow their dreams of starting a small business AND giving back to the community. Also, the couple is so cute… read Melissa and Mike's explanation of how compliment came to be.
"one of the best things about being married to Mike is how romantic he is. He surprises me with little notes and 'thank-you-for-being-a-rad-wife' gifts." This was the inspiration behind their business idea. Mike adds, "we wanted to not only sell a cool product, but also to have a reason WHY. We both believe in making people feel good with our words. That's where the note inside each box comes into play. Women need to know how valued they are. Compliment seeks to make women feel beautiful, inside AND out." (full story here)
Did you read the last sentence? "Compliment seeks to make women feel beautiful, inside and out." Talk about being in sync! Pretty Gossip's tagline is the same sentiment: "Let's gossip and share on all things that help us feel pretty… inside and out." Also gotta mention my sign off for almost every post: "Until next time, stay pretty… inside and out."
After some friendly comments on Instagram, Melissa and I got in touch via email and we hit it off. Then one day… I received a compliment from Melissa. ♥
The compliment was as sweet as can be and the ring was STUNNING. It was the ring from the original Instagram photo I had obsessed over! Seriously… are you kidding me?! Look at this ring! I can't keep my eyes off it and apparently, others can't either. I've received so many compliments on it, it's ridiculous.
So here's the great news! Compliment has generously agreed to do a giveaway for Pretty Gossip readers! Yipee~ I love being able to share my favorites with my readers, so I couldn't be happier. ♥
Details of the Compliment Giveaway:
- 1 winner will receive TWO rings!
- 1 ring for the winner
- 1 ring for the winner's mom, friend, sister, or any amazing woman that the winner wants to send a compliment to!
- Ends April 26th, 2012 at 12:01am (est)
- Open only to US residents.
- Must be over 18 years of age.
Isn't this giveaway fun?! The winner not only gets a compliment + ring for themselves, but they can send a compliment + ring to someone special! When Melissa and I were brainstorming about this giveaway, we thought it would make a perfect Mother's Day gift, which btw is right around the corner, and yes… Melissa will take care of the shipping and make sure you and your mom have the rings by Mother's Day.
If not for your mom, this is a great gift for any special woman in your life that deserves a compliment and a beautiful ring to remind them that you think that they're AWESOME… maybe a loving sister, a loyal friend, a friendly neighbor, or even an inspiring teacher like Melissa!
I'm seriously in love with this giveaway and I'm so happy to have connected with Melissa (thank you Instagram!).
So, get to it! Enter the giveaway, think of the special someone and plan out the color scheme for your rings! ENTER THE GIVEAWAY HERE!~
Thanks again to Compliment (Melissa and Mike) for this giveaway! Good Luck Everyone!!!
Until next time, stay pretty… inside and out!

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — The doors are open once again at the Arms Family Museum in Youngstown.
In spite of repairs that are still being made to the main dining room, the museum is open and celebrating a milestone this weekend. It's the 50th anniversary of the museum, and to mark the event, the admission fee has been rolled back to 1964 prices, which is when the museum opened.
Adults will pay 50 cents, children under 18 pay 25 cents and seniors and military members are free.
Work is still being done on the main dining room after a water leak this winter damaged the entire area, but folks will get an update on the restoration process and an education on what it takes to restore the room to its original grandeur.
"You can learn a lot, see a lot, get reintroduced to the museum," said Mahoning Valley Historical Society President Bill Lawson. "It is open on all three floors. We still have some damage that we are dealing with now, the largest being the dining room which will requre a pretty extensive restoration."
Lawson said restoration should be complete by Labor Day. The museum will be open Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m.

Today's question about the Broncos comes from Casey Milligan:
Q: In the NFL draft, many publications have running back as a top need for the Denver Broncos. Many think Eddie Lacy would be a great fit for Denver, while others have mentioned Stanford running back Stepfan Taylor. One guy that I haven't heard mentioned is Zac Stacy from Vanderbilt. He gained more than 1,000 yards in each of the past two years in the SEC. What do you think of him?
A:Eddie Lacy is regarded by most NFL teams as the top back on the NFL draft board this year and may be the only running back taken in the first round.
The are some concerns about Lacy — one, how little he was tested in games running in the open spaces provided by a line that included three-top prospects. But Alabama practices more in pads than most schools and many of the school's top draft prospects in the last two or three drafts had surgeries in the weeks and months before the draft.
This year's Alabama surgery list included defensive tackle Jesse Williams (knee), linebacker Nico Johnson (knee), cornerback Dee Milliner (shoulder) and center Barrett Jones (foot), who all had some kind of surgical procedure that impacted their pre-draft work.
Lacy dealt with a hamstring injury following the season and did not take part in the combine or Alabama's initial pro day. Lacy ran for scouts earlier this month, but the time off obviously affected his conditioning.
Taylor is a down-the-board back simply because of a lack of top-end speed. But he's a productive runner, can catch the ball out of the backfield and is a quality blocker.
There's a lot to like about Taylor, who plays plenty faster than he times in workouts and he was far more productive in his career than plenty of faster, flashier backs on the board.
Stacy, too, will be a quality find for a team. I've slotted him with a fifth-round grade, but could see him going slightly earlier to a team that likes all that he brings.
He finished his career as Vanderbilt's all-time leading rusher and put up back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2011 and 2012 without the benefit of a single offensive lineman to be named first- or second-team All-SEC in either of those seasons.
And he averaged 5.9 and 5.5 yards per carry while doing it. Add in a 4.55 clocking in the 40-yard dash at the combine and you have a prospect who is worth a long look.
Vanderbilt hasn't had a running back selected in the draft since Frank Mordica in the ninth round of the 1980 draft, so Stacy has more than a little history working against him. He has shown some big-play pop in a conference with the nation's fastest defenders as well with runs of 86 and 90 yards this past season.
My personal favorite looking at his work was a touchdown run against Kentucky in 2011 when he essentially carried seven defenders into the endzone to close out the play.
He's thrown some passes in the Vanderbilt offense, did some kickoff and punt return work over the course of his career as well, so has also shown some versatility along the way.
Runs hard, but also takes some hits as he consistently battles for the extra yards. He missed three games with a concussion in 2010 and has dealt with a sprained knee that year to go with an ankle injury in '09.
At 5-8 3/8, 216 pounds, Stacy is not quite the big back the Broncos would, in a perfect draft, like to add to their offense. But he runs hard inside and doesn't waste time once he has the ball.

Mikhail Gendelev
Jerusalem July 2004
In the Spring of 2004, several rooms of the Israel Museum, the country's main artistic platform, were used by an exhibition - a retrospective, selective, fundamental and simply tremendous exhibition of works by Jan Rauchwerger.
To say that I was overwhelmed is to say nothing.
Of course, I knew Jan, I had known him for more than a decade, I had seen his paintings, I had known for certain that Jan Rauchwerger was a brilliant artist, inventive, technically and technologically perfect, civilized, very much in demand...
That is to say, he had received enough laudatory epithets for a comfortable existence as an artist in life, for his persona - in the art world, and for his name - in critical reviews; assets for a clever modern artist to live on during his lifetime and with some to spere for his heirs.
All these words-epithets both mean something in general, direct, literal sense and, sometimes, even correspond to the object of enthusiasm in a figurative, approximate sense.
In a word, a strong master, contemporary to me, to us, to the culture of our state, to the phase in the history of art. A contemporary artist. Which means modern, but not in the sense given the word "modern" in soviet and postsoviet times, when read more

Vape store opens its doors in Newberg
Hoping to change the way consumers smoke, Newberg Vapors sells a form of electronic cigarettes
When Ed and Laura Wiggins heard about a storefront opening on First Street, they seized the opportunity. Now, six months after entertaining the idea of opening a shop, they opened Newberg Vapors Jan. 11.
Were smokers. I was a smoker until about seven years ago when I got a case of bronchial pneumonia, Ed Wiggins said. So he quit, but started missing cigarettes.
So I picked up cigars and was eventually smoking a cigar a day, he said. But then I came across this product. I started using it and I thought, Wow, Ive got to do this. Ive got to help other people to get off the traditional cigarette.
Wiggins and his wife sell vaporizers. They look like colorful, long pipes. Battery operated, the vapes burn an oil-based liquid called juice that contains nicotine. Essentially, they are electronic cigarettes.
It cant be classified as a safer alternative, but it is cleaner, he said, cleaner than traditional cigarettes that is. It makes life feel a little better. Kids dont have to go to school smelling like an old ashtray, thats how we got here.
The juice comes in a variety of flavors Newberg Vapors has 25 so far ranging from chocolate-banana, apple, triple menthol and watermelon and emits minimal aroma.
I dont smell like cigarettes, Ed Wiggins said. They arent entirely scent free, the worst is probably tobacco flavored.
The juices also range in nicotine content. He said they have flavors that contain no nicotine, and the concentration ranges up to 24 milligrams the equivalent of nicotine ingested by a pack-and-a-half-a-day smoker.
Its not a quit-smoking device, but it has helped a lot of people to quit smokes, he said. The nicotine can taper down to zero and then you can toss the device.
But despite some of the juices containing no nicotine, he said he tries to deter non-smokers from using vapes.
If they just want flavor because of the e-hookah craze, I will sell to them but Ill tell them its not as good for you as not doing anything, Ed Wiggins said.
He said he wants to operate the shop with his conscience clear, which includes not selling to minors.
Its not illegal in the state of Oregon or city of Newberg to sell these to minors, but I card anyone that looks under 18 and I wont sell to them, he said. If theyre with someone whos 18 and theyre buying two devices I wont sell to them either. This product is going to get in the hands of teenagers one way or another, but I dont want it to be on my conscience. Its more a sense of whats moral and whats right.
He said there are some shops, including one in Tigard, that do sell to teenagers less than 18, because nicotine isnt federally regulated, not yet anyway.
I feel to make our buck I want to do it the right way and honestly, he said.
Currently, Ed Wiggins said there isnt a huge market in Newberg for the relatively new product, but he thinks it will grow pretty quickly.
There are people ages 18 to 70 doing this. A lot of your older people are less apt to want to switch over, but the ones who give it a try are surprised, he said. I was talking to this lady whos smoked for 50 years who hasnt had a cigarette in over a month (after trying a vaporizer). Thats saying a lot for a product the government doesnt approve of.
He said he hopes to continuously expand.
When were done, there will be 200 flavors, he said. And we will be setting up a lounge at some point.
The shop is located at 809 E. First St. and is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, visit www.newbergvapors.com.

Moms Don't Need Hospital Visitors After Having a Baby, They Need Space! Do you agree?
Moms Don't Need Hospital Visitors After Having a Baby, They Need Space
Having a baby is life's most joyous occasion. And not just for the new mom and dad, but for the new mom and dad's parents. And grandparents. And friends. And aunts and uncles. Everyone loves a baby. And everyone wants to see and hold a baby shortly after it's born. But, here's the thing: Everyone needs to wait.
Aside from being joyous, having a baby is stressful and confusing. The last thing a new mom needs is brigades of people traipsing through her hospital room when she's trying to bond with her little one, and/or trying to figure out how to breastfeed.
I know none of us like saying no to people (especially people we love), but when it comes to those first precious days after giving birth, I'm all for the dreaded "n" word. I didn't do it last go 'round, but if I'm lucky enough to have another baby, I most definitely will. Some of you on CafeMom beg to differ, though.
After reading through the comments and answers to a question Anonymous asked regarding whether or not she was being unreasonable not wanting any visitors the first day in the hospital, it seems like, ultimately, it comes down to a personality thing. Some want lots of friends and family visiting that first day to share in the joy, others (like me) would prefer a more low-key couple of days. There's no "right" way to do things in motherhood, as we all know. Just preferences.
When I was in the hospital after having my daughter, there were a million visitors. And it made me feel very loved that people drove all the way into land-of-million-dollar-parking New York City to see me and my daughter. But also, it was chaotic. Really chaotic. I was so sore and exhausted that I barely had any idea of what was going on. I was learning to nurse my baby (and my family's old school), so every time I had to whip out a boob, everyone would shuffle out. My husband and I were trying to get to know the new addition to our family, and, well, that wasn't super easy with people constantly coming in and out of the room.
I know that it's coming from a place of love. And it actually feels a little bit like a bratty thing to do -- telling people you don't want them to visit you and your new baby. But ultimately, if it's what you want, you should do it. It's your baby. You get to call the shots. And if anyone's feelings get hurt, guess what? They'll totally forget about it when they're holding your newborn a few weeks later.
Did you have lots of visitors when you were in the hospital?
Image via ConspiracyofHappiess/Flickr
oh god, no, i LOVED having everyone there... with my 1st i had about 20 visitors in the 2 nights i was there..
with baby #2, i had many more visitors (because now i had local friends).
i love having visitors...
Now Personally I agree. Your at the hospital to rest, not hold social hour. Luckily my family feels the same way. The baby's not going anywhere. Does it really matter if you see it the day It's born or a few days/week after mom and baby is home.
DH has a cousin and her parents paraded everything and their brother into the hospital. I didn't go but MIL got talked into going up their by her SIL. She said that girl was dog tired but no-one would take a hint.
DH and I made it perfectly clear that no one was allowed there and we didn't even tell anyone when I went into labor so that they couldn't invite themselves. We told them when the baby arrived and said that they were welcome to visit the next day but mama and baby needed rest. I'm glad we did that.
I had no visitors with my 1st (nobody lived close enough). After my 2nd, only my parents and my grandmother came and they didn't stay long...just a quick visit. After my 3rd, I had 7 visitors including my 2 older kids. They all came at once and I loved it.
The only person I was not happy about was my husband's pastor, who came while I was in labor with my 3rd. I'm not religious and I didn't even let my own mother come until afterwards. I couldn't believe my husband let him in at all. He asked me a question at one point and I couldn't answer because I was in the middle of a really hard contraction and trying to focus on breathing. For some reason, he decided that would be a good time to pray. My husband looked at me with this "Oh, shit" face. I'm not comfortable in church, so of course I was incredibly uncomfortable with such an intrusion on such an intimate moment. I was not happy at all and I have never wanted to scream so much in my life.
My second the only visitors I got was my bff (I needed baby name books), my mil, and sil.
My third we had no one. Which was nice
My forth my mom was in town. I wasn't allowed visitors outside of family because I kept having complications and almost died.
I have to say I prefer no visitors. It was much calmer and we could enjoy.some family time with just us and the kids before everything got crazy and we could rest.
Obviously, it's different for everyone. I loved having visitors! Not only that, I regret the decision to only have dh and my mom in the room with me while I delivered. I was just so damned ecstatic, I wished all my friends and family could have been there :o)
I agree that it is not social hour and I wanted a quiet, bonding time with my baby and husband. However, I got BORED. So my closest friends, whom I didn't mind whipping a boob out in front of, would kindof take turns keep me company. THAT, I just absolutely LOVED.

wednesday morning reflections…Wednesday, April 10th, 2013
it's been a roller coaster of life lately. so much going on. my own way of thinking of things also puts me into places that can be utterly pleasant or terrible, depending on how my mind wanders… I had one rough moment yesterday afternoon. I suppose the best way I can put it is that I'm aware of all that I manage and oversee and for some reason, it is feeling like it is too much these days. I am seeking help and support but not really getting it and so something has to give.
I shut off all electronics last night and went to bed at 10 pm. It felt good for me to cease and desist all computer work and mindless FB chatting. In bed, my mind immediately went to a beautiful image of some future place and state that I want to be in. I drifted off into sleep.
In the morning just before awakening, I had a dream about an old boyfriend. One that I hadn't thought of in years and years. I don't know why he decided to show up in my dream but my reflection after waking was on the ways in which I gave a bit of myself over to him. I was very immature back then and had not had much relationship experience back then. I was a lot stronger, too, in many ways, and that was also good to reflect on. It turned out to be a very good reflection… I went into a place of meditation after that. Acknowledging the thoughts and reflections and then letting them be. No need to analyze further.
More thoughts and reflections came in and they went about their way, too.
In my rough moments yesterday, I want to acknowledge that I did some tonglen around them, too. There was a moment when the pain I was feeling (emotional pain) was so great that it felt like I couldn't breathe for a few seconds. I breathed into and out of that space for myself and for countless others that could possibly be feeling that right then, too. I suppose it helped me to do this act for myself and others because that pain was big enough to fool me into thinking I was alone in that thought/feeling.
This morning I made a loose plan for how I wanted the day to go to day. I'm doing all things for me right now. OBLIGATION was the word that kept popping up as the action to avoid in my life from now on. 🙂 It feels good to make that claim. I also figured on what I was going to eat today since eating has been so strange for me since late January. (No worries on this.) The phrase that popped in to replace obligation was CARING AS A WANT FOR SELF/OTHERS – in other words: CHOICE. It's a much better place in my heart (with lots of space around it) when I ask myself, "what do I choose to do today?"
This morning I made a kickass slam dunk green smoothie for myself and my kids:
2 bananas
1 orange
1 local small apple
a head of lettuce
local blueberries
rice protein powder
hemp powder
cacao powder
vitamineral green
I sucked down 3/4 of it and will have the rest later. Since January I have been at a loss for what to eat. Don't ask me why. I decided today that I will have a smoothie in the morning and a nori wrap this afternoon if I'm hungry. Dinner is always easy to figure out.
So that's all that's on my mind thus far. I'm off to see about getting another paper written and posted for school. Thank you to anyone that is reading my thoughts and mind wanderings… all love, Linda

For the last eight Montreal Canadiens Stanley Cup wins, from 1971 to 1993, I managed to save the front pages and laminate them. (Although one, from 1977, is an inner page).
Using info from the papers, here's a couple of my recaps, first from 1976, and then 1977.
It was their 17th Stanley Cup, a beautiful, delicious four-game sweep of the Philadelphia Flyers. How sweet is that? Sweeping the Broad St. Bullies, the goons who had slashed and punched their way to the two previous championships. But this time, real hockey prevailed over thuggery.
All in all, it was the Canadiens plumbers who helped made things happen in a big way. Bob Gainey, Jim Roberts, Doug Jarvis, and Doug Risebrough proved just how important blue-collar guys can be. The team had Lafleur and Shutt and the boys, but the lesser-lights shone. "Really, the plumbers did the job for us in this series," said Steve Shutt. "But when we needed the goals, the two big guys (Lafleur and Perter Mahovlich) came through."
Lafleur and Mahovlich weren't having a sensational series up until the final game and the plumbers stepped up. But both Lafleur and Mahovlich scored goals in the third period to ice the thing and to prove that singer Kate Smith, the Flyers' lucky charm, wasn't such a lucky charm after all.
Kate was there in person that night to sing the anthem, usually it was a recording, but even her live and in colour wasn't enought for the thugs from Philly. And in the dressing room, the Habs sung God Bless America in a good-natured jibe to the singer.
It had only taken Montreal 13 games from start to finish in these 1976 Stanley Cup playoffs, sweeping Chicago, taking out the Islanders in five games, and then the four-game dismissing of the Flyers.
Some Flyers fans thought it might have been different if their team had been healthy. Rick MacLeish didn't suit up, and Bobby Clarke and Orest Kindrachuk played but weren't 100%. And Wayne Stephenson was between the pipes instead of number one, Bernie Parent. But even coach Fred Shero admitted that his team, although they might have prolonged it slightly, would have lost anyway. "If we'd had everybody healthy, I suppose we might have lasted longer, we might have made it close, at least." said Shero. "But on the other hand, I imagine that if we had been able to play better, Canadiens might have played better too. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they could."
And to make all Habs fans giddy, Shero also went on about how good the Habs actually were. "These are guys you can't ride off the puck. They're immune to normal forechecking. You put pressure on most defences and they fall apart. They cough up the puck or throw it away. These fellows never panic. They just won't give up the puck. They're always in control."
And Shero wasn't finished being nice. "And my God, they're all like forwards besides. That's what you've got to have on your defence in the NHL today. You can put Robinson, Savard or Lapointe up front and they don't look out of place at all."
The last word goes to Bobby Clarke. "We were beaten by one great hockey team, the best in many years."
And now, 1977
In the spring of 1977, as I was on the verge of getting married for the first time, Jacques Lemaire scored the overtime goal to give his team their second straight Stanley Cup in this late 1970's run, and it was done with a lovely four-game sweep against Don Cherry and his Boston Bruins. Is this one of the reasons you hate the Habs, Don?
It had been quite a year for this dominating bunch. Montreal only lost eight times in 80 games and racked up a record 132 points. Nobody was going to beat them in the playoffs. You didn't have to be Kreskin to figure it out. In fact, the team swept the Blues, took out the Islanders 4 games to 2, and then swept the Bruins. Fourteen games in total, and very similar to the 13 it had taken them the year before.
Guy Lafleur won the Conn Smythe trophy for playoff MVP and managed nine goals and 17 assists throughout. But he had this to say: "It's my third Cup and it's always nice, but it's not the same excitement. I don't think I'm the best player. It's just that everything went well for me."
Jacques Lemaire was the quiet hero on this ride. His teammates had told him to shoot more, and on this night, he delivered with the overtime marker. "Why shouldn't I be happy," said Lemaire. "I'm on a holiday. I'm on a holiday starting now. It's about time. It still is Lafleur and Shutt, except tonight. Tonight was a mistake. They said, shoot the puck, you look good."
Coach Scotty Bowman had this to say about Lafleur and Shutt. "They play more like Europeans. I'm not knocking the NHL style of play, but the Europeans make more plays on the move. That's what Lafleur and Shutt do."
And last word to Don Cherry. "It's hard to believe we kept outshooting them and still can't win a game. I still say the whole thing boiled down to those three defensemen."

I haven't read anything yet but am surprised to know that there is such a place called The National Constitutional Center. How quaint.

er, The National *Constitution* Center. Forgive me.
John February 1, 2013 at 5:36 pm #
I will second the recommendation, I just made my most recent visit on MLK day and took my 8 year old daughter for the first time. The center is a place everybody should see and as an added bonus the special exhibit about prohibition is very well done.

Claudio Ranieri: I will rest this Leicester star if he runs out of steam
LEICESTER boss Claudio Ranieri says he will rest main man Jamie Vardy if and when the England striker runs out of steam.
But Ranieri insists he has no plans to leave Vardy out just yet even though his star striker is pushing himself to the limit.
Vardy has played through the pain on his way to 15 goals this season with wrist and hip injuries restricting him in training.
The 28-year-old has started all 19 of his club's Premier League games so far and played against Liverpool and Manchester City last week despite being ill.
He wore a protective cast to ensure the wrist problem would not rule him out and sat in an ice chamber to help his hip heal.
"Jamie had a little problem for one or two months and of course he didn't train every day"Claudio Ranieri
Ranieri said: "When I think it's the right moment to give him a rest I'll give it to him.
"At the moment he doesn't need one yet. Now it's important to carry on with him.
"Jamie had a little problem for one or two months and of course he didn't train every day.
"The last few days he had a fever and he's not 100 per cent, but that's normal."
Vardy led the way as Leicester ended 2015 level on points with leaders Arsenal.
That has got Foxes fans dreaming of a title challenge despite the Gunners and fellow giants Manchester City challenging them.
The Italian has shed his 'Tinkerman' reputation by staying loyal to most of his regular starters and he believes they have the stamina to stay the course.
But he hopes Arsenal and City's Champions League commitments could also count in the Foxes' favour.
"This is another aspect," said Ranieri.
"Everyone is saying 'top of the league, top of the league' but we are running a lot.
"Now we must continue at this top level because when we put the other teams under pressure we are very dangerous.
"It is good for us because big teams play in a lot of competitions, the Champions League, the FA Cup, League Cup and Premier League.
"I want them to continue to win in the Champions League until the end."

Mac OS usage tops 4%
December 25th 2005
By Mike Flaminio
Hitslink, yet another web metrics company, reports that the number of people using Mac OS online topped 4 percent by the end of November. Over the last 12 months the use of the fairer platform has surged from 3.29 to 4.11 percent.
Further, preliminary data for December from the company shows that Mac OS usage will post another large jump, as well.
Various flavors of Windows--XP, 2000 and 98, respectively--account for over 90 percent of those measured.
An earlier report from Net Applications also shows 4.11 percent of end users on the web running Mac OS.
Editor's note: Will the arrival of Vista dampen Apple's long-march return to relevance?

Last year's defense for the Miami Dolphins was an off-week Fantasy team at best. Though they held offenses to a respectably low 19.8 points-per-game, their turnover ratio was anemic. Sporting a patchwork secondary, most of which has been replaced, they collected a mere 10 interceptions, six forced fumbles and three defensive touchdowns (none of which was a fumble return).
This year's crop of Dolphin defenders hope to remain stout at the point of attack by being a highly versatile unit that plays fast and changes looks as often as possible. Led by sack specialist Cameron Wake, who has been perhaps the best pass rusher in the NFL since 2010 with 37.5 sacks, this defense has added a bunch of new pieces in the hope that they can improve on last year's numbers.
Gone are cornerbacks Vontae Davis (traded to Colts) and Sean Smith. Gone are linebackers Carlos Dansby and Kevin Burnett. And gone is the idea of the wait and react defense.
Today's Dolphins feature newly added veterans Brent Grimes, Phillip Wheeler and Dannell Ellerbe; all of which are supposed to add speed and tenacity. But Jeff Ireland didn't stop there. He continued to strengthen the defense with draft additions Dion Jordan, Jamar Taylor, Will Davis and Jelani Jenkins.
Even though for the past three seasons the Dolphins haven't cracked the top-10 as a Fantasy defense, they have the ability to finally cash it all in and make a push to be a top-five group. Through four preseason games, their starting defense has stifled the first team offenses for the majority of snaps. Whether that's a byproduct of preseason or of good team play, we won't know until the Dolphins open against the Cleveland Browns in September.
For now, my money is on the Dolphins to make a big impact by creating a lot of turnovers this year, but I still wouldn't draft them above the 11th round.

VA Statement on Durham VA Medical Center
May 13, 2014At the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), our most important mission is to provide the high quality health care and benefits Veterans have earned and deserve. Secretary Shinseki has directed the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to complete a national audit of patient access and scheduling. In preparation for this audit, VHA Central Office learned on May 12 that a Durham VA Medical Center employee indicated that some employees at that facility may have engaged in inappropriate scheduling practices at some point between 2009 and 2012. If true, these scheduling practices did not comply with VHA's policy on Outpatient Scheduling Processes and Procedures. A VHA audit team will be on site this week to assess current scheduling practices and determine if inappropriate behavior occurred. In the meantime, VHA has placed two Durham VA Medical Center employees on administrative leave pending the review of the allegations. A thorough investigation will be conducted based on the findings of the initial review and audit. VA takes any allegations about patient care or employee misconduct very seriously. If the allegations are true, the inappropriate behavior is unacceptable and employees will be held accountable.

It is sometimes difficult to help clients understand that the first priority is to tackle the day to day episodes of emotional distress they experience before trying to work on aspects of their early life that might be underlying their current difficulties.
It is like dealing with a plumbing emergency. The first task is to stop the water gushing out of the pipe. This is the equivalent of using mood management stategies in the heat of the moment to control the emotional flow. Only then can we begin to look at the system as a whole to understand what is causing the pressure to build up – the equivalent of identifying the factors that contribute to a person's emotional vulnerability.
