I'm a battlefield player, good sir. I don't play metro.
PC is no longer PC master race. It's PC mustard race, because consoles need to ketchup :'D
DICE gave so much into making commander better, but lemmings be lemmings I guess.
As a good guy that don't want to use overly glitched weapons, I'll quit using the MTAR and switch to the ACWR until it's fixed
The world needs more people like you
+1, I think we're all in agreement that more MrT3as would be an awesome thing
Although if that was the case they'd use up so much of the world's awesome that there'd be none left for the rest of us!

text: Tractors Are From Mars, Planters Are From Venus December 16, 2010 08:26 AM Tweet Today's planters and the hydraulically powered systems paired with them demand careful consideration to ensure enough hydraulic capacity. © Sara Brown TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Dan Anderson Farm Journal Columnist Email Compatibility isn't a problem just for husbands and wives. In a machinery relationship, there's a reason many modern planters are pulled by late-model tractors. It's because it takes a tractor with enhanced hydraulics to satisfy the demands of planters with multiple hydraulically powered systems. "Vacuum metering systems can require up to 13 gal. per minute of hydraulic flow, bulk fill systems add another 10 gal., each hydraulic drive will require 3 gal. to 4 gal., and to lift and lower a planter with markers could require 13 gal. to 20 gal., depending on planter size," explains Alan Forbes, planter marketing manager for Case IH. When all the hydraulic demands are tallied, modern planters can require more than 35 gal. of oil per minute from tractors at more than 2,200 psi of pressure. Adequate hydraulic flow and pressure are only the first steps toward tractor/planter hydraulic compatibility. Tractors must have enough selective control valves (SCVs) to accommodate three or more sets of hydraulic hoses. Newer planters require tractors to have special case drain and motor-return hydraulic couplers. Fortunately, all of the major planter manufacturers have developed hydraulic compatibility charts for their product lines. Those charts define how many gallons per minute of hydraulic flow tractors must provide and how many SCVs are needed, depending on how many hydraulic systems an individual planter uses. "A tractor may have the horse-power to pull the planter, but not the capacity to operate it. For every gallon of hydraulic oil that machine is taking in, it requires about 1 hp," Forbes says. Tractor and planter compatibility charts are a good starting point, but don't expect instant hydraulic bliss. Hydraulic checkup. A tractor may have enough SCVs but not enough hydraulic capacity to make all the planter's hydraulic systems work correctly, says Laura Blomme, marketing specialist for Kinze Manufacturing. "[Local dealerships have] ran tests and found that tractors' hydraulic systems weren't working to full capacity, or were worn and couldn't produce full flow and pressure. Growers need to have their dealer check to see what their tractor can actually do hydraulically, and not just what its specs were from the factory," Blomme says. Older tractors may simply not have enough SCVs. Some farmers add power beyond–type hydraulic systems to sidestep the cost of adding SCVs. Power beyond systems are essentially hydraulic couplers plumbed directly into the hydraulic system. The couplers and anything connected to them receive full hydraulic flow and pressure when the tractor is running. "I'm not a great fan of power beyond because it puts full flow and pressure to a planter's hydraulic motors, and that can cause problems for vacuum fan motors and variable-rate-drive motors that don't need full flow," says Jared Matthews, service manager at Sloan Implement's Assumption, Ill., dealership. "I prefer to install additional SCV blocks. SCVs give hydraulic motors controlled flow, and it's an all-around better deal." Even with adequate hydraulic capacity and ample SCVs on their tractors, farmers with new planters may discover they have extra hoses that need to be connected to their tractor. "The new hydraulic motors are a double-seal design that use controlled leakage to lubricate the motors," says Matt Winters, a field service representative for Great Plains Manufacturing. "That's what the third hose on new-style hydraulic motors is for. There's almost no volume in that extra return hose. Maybe a drop or two [of hydraulic oil] a minute. But if there's any restriction, that little bit of oil can build up during a day of planting, create backpressure and take out the seals in the hydraulic motor." That's why many modern tractors have case drain (also known as sump return) ports outfitted with special hydraulic couplers. The couplers dump directly into the tractor's hydraulic sump/reservoir to ensure minimal backpressure on the hydraulic circuit. Case drain hydraulic circuits differ from motor-return circuits. Motor-return is a fancy name for the traditional hydraulic circuit that returns pressurized oil from hydraulic motors back to the tractor. On some modern planters, motor-return hoses may need to be connected to special motor-return hydraulic couplers on tractors. "Going through the ports and orifices of an SCV can build up to 1,800 psi to 2,000 psi of backpressure," explains Sloan Implement's Matthews. "Some [hydraulic] motors can't take that sort of pressure on their return circuits. You've got to read the [planter's] owner's manual, and if that type of hydraulic motor needs to be connected to a designated motor-return port, you've got to make sure the tractor has a motor-return coupler and that the right hoses are plugged into it." It's important to connect case drain and motor-return hoses to the correct ports. "A motor-return port usually carries around 200 psi to 300 psi," says Great Plains' Winters. "Case drain ports have next to no resistance. Plug a case drain hose into a motor-return port and it will take out the [hydraulic motor] seals instantly." Sometimes planter hydraulic systems don't work correctly even if the tractor has adequate flow and pressure and all of the hydraulic hoses are plugged into appropriate SCV couplers. Greg Brenneman, marketing manager for Great Plains Manufacturing, says adjustment of hydraulic controls in the tractor's cab is critical. "Strange things can happen if you have the controls set for full flow of 30 gal. per minute, but the variable-rate-drive motor only needs 6 gal. per minute," he says. Hydraulically powered vacuum fans and variable-rate-drive motors operate at low volume but high pressure. Excessive flow can cause erratic performance. Brenneman suggests farmers who buy a new planter or trade for a used one work with their dealer to match the planter's hydraulic needs with their tractor's hydraulic capabilities. "Depending on the size of the planter and what hydraulic systems you have on it, you're probably going to need at least 30 gal., maybe 35 gal., per minute of hydraulic capacity and four SCVs," he says. "You also need to know if your tractor is open-center or closed-center hydraulics. "The bottom line," Brenneman says, "is to make certain your tractor and planter hydraulics are compatible and connected correctly, long before you head to the field." Avoid Electrical Headaches Hydraulics aren't the only tractor system taxed by large modern planters. Electric row shutoffs, on-board air compressors, aftermarket monitoring systems and extra lights on planters can add amps that overload tractor electrical systems. Symptoms that indicate an overloaded electrical system include row shutoffs that operate erratically, air compressor motors that overheat, blown fuses, tripped circuit breakers and monitoring systems that give erratic or odd warnings or alarms. A dead giveaway of an overloaded electrical system is when any of these symptoms develop at sunset, coincidental to switching on the tractor's lighting system. "We're going to see more stress on tractor electrical systems because there are more planter and seeder control systems coming down the road that are really going to increase the demands on tractor electrical systems," says Matt Winters, a field service representative for Great Plains Manufacturing. "If you're going to trade for a planter that has more electrically controlled systems, or if you're thinking of adding row shutoffs or other electrical components, it's a good idea to check ahead of time to make sure your tractor has a big enough alternator and electrical system to power the additional electrical components."

Meet Karen. A woman who walked the same path many women are struggling to simply get on. The path of health, fitness, and happiness. This was Karen at 260 pounds. She made the choice to change. She trained herself down to a healthy weight, losing over 100 pounds, and is now a Cross Fit coach and personal trainer. There's no one better to coach me than a woman who's been there and done that. If she can do it, I can do it.
Look at her! To say she's amazing is a true understatement! After hearing my story on the radio, a Fitz in the Morning listener suggested I meet with Karen and so I did. She opened her mouth and the cutest British accent came out. But more than that, she gets it. She knows where I am because she's been there.
Together we made both scale and non-scale goals. She took into consideration the fact that I don't like running. I'm self conscious of my boobs bouncing around! (We'd have to run a mile every Tuesday in high school and I remember the boys would finish then wait just to watch me. Little pervs.) Considering my hang ups, we're focusing on a weight focused cardio workout. I don't want to be thin. I want to be fit. I'm talking big booty hoe! I'm talking curves! I'm talking hour glass figure! I've got the shape, (somewhere) so move over Kim Kardashian, I'm coming for you!
As I chomped down on my salmon salad while having dinner with a friend last week, I explained to him that I'm not where I want to be but dammit, I'm going to accept what I do have and love what I've got. All of it. For the first time in my life, I believed it. And it scared the shit out of me.
I left dinner that night feeling great but the next morning I woke up and thought, "Why are you confident? You don't deserve it. At least not yet." Cue the downfall. I went off the grid. I didn't fall off the wagon but I fell back into bad habits. I didn't eat. I didn't do the homework Karen had assigned. (aka I didn't go to the gym on my own.) Sure, I didn't binge but not eating was just as bad.
I had a training session scheduled with Karen the next morning which happened to be the 4th of July. (Remember that Karen's British and doesn't care about an American holiday hence the 7am workout.) I had mentally pushed aside what happened the day before but the second I saw Karen, I started to cry. All of the sudden I'm one on of those pussies I see on The Biggest Loser or Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition. There's more to this weight than the physical and Karen is quickly becoming more than my trainer. She's becoming a mentor, therapist, and friend.
Yuck. I hate being mushy gushy. I hate crying. I hate showing feelings other than a happy-go-lucky girl. But apparently I've got to get in touch. Do I use my extra weight to build a physical wall to keep people out? I don't like letting people in. Hence why I shut Karen out. Even if it was just for a day, that was one day too long.
I cried through that workout not because it was hard but because I finally realized I am going to do this and that scared me. I've got my head wrapped around eating right. I've got the right trainer. My body is responding great to the workouts. All of this stuff is everything I wanted! Everything I tried so hard for years to achieve. And now that it's here, I want to crawl into bed and hide. What?! That makes no sense!
I've been this way for so long and I've only dreamed of being in shape. Being in shape is months away. Granted months of hard work. But I've dreamed of this for close to 10 years, if not my whole life. To realize life as I know it is going to change is terrifying. Even if it is a change for the better.
We're focusing on a strength training cardio regimen. I've realized I'm really good at squats. I love the way my butt looks after doing them and more importantly, I'm good at it so it helps boost my confidence! I suck at running so we don't do it. Karen is showing me ways to get my heart rate up by doing things I actually like. Wait, there are things I actually like in the gym?! Never thought I'd say that.
The day of my crying workout, I found peace while doing squats and asked Karen to snap a few photos. I posted this on my social media sites not because I'm proud of where I'm at. Not because I want attention. But because I need to accept what I am now. I need to love me now. I'm not saying be complacent but I've got to love myself. And let's be real, this will be a great "before" photo. I don't want my ass to get smaller but I want it tighter. And I want that weight on the bar to increase, a lot! I want to be a beast!
It's not about the number on the scale anymore. Although yes, it does need to, and will, come down. But I want to look like I'm healthy. No. I want to be healthy! And fit! And thick! (With a tiny waist, of course. HaHa!) And with Karen's guidance, I know I can do this.

The single-fiber SFP transceiver is shamefully expensive, it is basically a 4-way WDM module. There is an effort in the 10G committees to spec the quad-fiber cable that is used for many other things.

Having already captured a similar accolade, Alex Herrera decided to make it 2-for-2.
The Fort Lewis College mens basketball center was selected to the National Association of Basketball Coaches All-South Central Region first team after being selected to the same team by Daktronics (voted on by South Central Region sports information directors) last week.
Herrera, a 6-9 sophomore from Ignacio, became the first Skyhawk to earn the distinction from the NABC. He set an FLC single-season record for blocked shots with 84 and led the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference in field-goal percentage at 60.3.
Herrera averaged 15.3 points per game and 8.8 rebounds per contest and was named RMAC Defensive Player of the Year earlier this month.
I think its a nice honor for Alex, FLC head coach Bob Hofman said in a news release. Im sure hed be the first to credit his teammates for achieving this award. We look at all of our individual awards as collective awards. He and his teammates have worked very hard for this.
Kirk Archibeque, DeAndre Lansdowne and Matt Morris also earned honors from the NABC, but those were second-team selections.
FLC finished 22-8 this season after bowing out to St. Marys in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. FLC finished 16-6 in the RMAC and scored a victory over league foe Adams State in the first round of the NCAAs.
Craig Foster of Cameron, Brandon Jefferson and Jonathan Morse of Metro State, Kevin Kotzur of St. Marys and Corbin Thomas of Midwestern State joined Herrera on the first team and all are eligible for the upcoming NABC All-America teams.
Shamar Acuay of Newman, Nick Fox of Dallas Baptist, Chuck Guy of Tarleton State, Kaimyn Pruitt of Adams State and Dionelle Rucker of Incarnate Word landed on the second team.
Metro States Derrick Clark was named the regions top coach.
Clark will coach Metro State against Franklin Pierce in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday in Louisville, Ky.

Smith & Nephew (NYSE:SNN) inked a deal on Monday to buy medical-device maker ArthroCare (NASDAQ:ARTC) for $1.7 billion as it bets on sports medicine.
Continue Reading Below
The medical device companies, which have worked together in the past through licensing and supply arrangements, will focus on their resection and repair technologies, including those affecting joint, knee and shoulder repair.
"Together, we will be able to generate significant additional revenue from the more comprehensive portfolio, combined sales force and Smith & Nephew's global footprint," Smith & Nephew CEO Olivier Bohuon said in a statement.
The deal will also expand their global footprint, enabling Smith & Nephew to cross-sell their combined portfolio and take advantage of cost and revenue synergies, which are expected to mount to roughly $85 million in the third full year after the acquisition closes.
Smith & Nephew says the money saved will help to offset a projected $100 million in integration costs incurred over a three-year period.
The acquisition price of $48.25 a share in cash represents a 20% premium over the 90-day volume weighted average price of ArthroCare's shares.
The transaction is expected to close in mid-2014 pending customary closing conditions as well as regulatory and shareholder approvals. And the companies said ArthroCare will be "integrated swiftly" to minimize operational disruptions.
Shares of ArthroCare were up close to 7% to $48.48 in recent trade, while those of Smith & Nephew were trading up about 1.2% to $73.08.

Beside the great Lake Kivu, beneath the shadow of an enormous volcano, the Rwanda-DRC border divides the neighboring cities of Gisenyi and Goma. As the day begins, the predominant impression is one of movement, as people walk in either direction through the customs checkpoint, carrying giant bunches of green banana, stacks of nesting plastic chairs, anything that is tradable. They form an unbroken stream of humanity crossing to and fro, the tall border signboards towering overhead.

RIO DE JANEIRO — "Should I use violence to restrain you if you want to buy too much?" my Italian roommate asked, seeing my enthusiasm for shopping manifest itself at a Brazilian kitchenware and china shop in Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana neighborhood.
She was perfectly capable of this violence, just as I was capable of defending against it. We were in Rio last year as visiting female martial artists studying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with four-time world champion and famed Carioca Kyra Gracie. Nevertheless, I had to think about the violence question, picturing a double-leg takedown in proximity to the china.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not popular (yet) among women. But Gracie runs an annual international camp specifically for women (http://www.gracieadventure.wordpress.com). Never mind that the four other women in the program were in their 20s and I was, well, not. Unlike me, they didn't leave kids behind as they traveled from different parts of the planet. I went anyway. I love this martial art, and it gave me an opportunity to see Rio de Janeiro differently from the way I might have seen it otherwise.
And I did see it differently. The program, driven by Gracie's desire to promote women in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and her outreach to underprivileged segments of the country's population, took us, among other destinations, inside the walls of the favela Cantagalo. With gym bags slung over our shoulders, we wound our way up the steep mountainside streets of what some call a slum or shanty town, headed for a boxing academy.
Inside Nobre Arte, jump ropes banged against the floor as we jabbed and uppercut imaginary opponents. This academy, founded more than 20 years ago by famed Brazilian boxing coach Claudio Coelho, transformed the rundown building, primarily used for drug deals, into a place where kids could focus on training.
Nobre Arte's yellow walls were barely visible beneath the photographs of smiling fighters who have built notable careers here (Royler Gracie, Murilo Bustamante and countless others). Boxing is not a part of Jiu-Jitsu, but combining the two arts, as many mixed martial artists have done, makes for a great fight.
The history of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu dates to the 1920s, when Carlos Gracie (Kyra Gracie's great-grandfather) and his brother Hélio put their own take on the Japanese arts of judo and jujitsu. They created an ever-evolving system of self-defense that exploits leverage over strength by using techniques that include numerous chokes and arm locks. Different Gracie schools, started by various members of this famous Brazilian fighting family, have now opened in places as far away as Alaska and Slovenia.
Our base was Hotel Tropical on the shores of Barra da Tijuca, a beach town west of tourist destinations Ipanema and Copacabana. Often referred to as Barra, it has been an epicenter of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since Carlos Gracie's son, Carlos Jr., founded his academy there in 1986.
Now, it's a middle-class suburb complete with a mega-mall and other suburban trappings. But Barra's natural beauty shows in the form of an 11-mile stretch of white-sand beaches. Although the accommodations at Hotel Tropical were no frills, the view out my window was five star: kite surfers skimming at high speeds over the white caps of Praia do Pepê, a beach named for Brazilian professional surfer and hang glider Pedro Paulo Guise Carneiro Lopes, a.k.a. Pepê, who died in 1991 in a hang-gliding accident.
Not dissuaded by this story of hang-gliding gone awry, I wanted to fly. And the easiest place to catch a ride on a hang glider is São Conrado beach, the landing place for those flying off Gávea Rock in Tijuca National Park. There, at Rio Hang Gliding, I found former national hang-gliding champion Konrad Heilmann, who would take me for a ride.
As we drove up the mountain roads of the world's largest urban rain forest, I saw some of the locals, namely playful capuchin monkeys. Was it my imagination, or were they laughing at us for wanting to strap ourselves to a pair of phony wings and pretend to be birds? No matter. My heart beat loudly as I ran off wooden planks straight into the blue sky.
The only thing suspending me hundreds of feet above the trees and jagged rocks was a minuscule amount of aluminum alloy and some fabric. Yet serenity set in as Heilmann steered the glider over Rio's spectacular coastline of cliffs, bustling cityscape, sandy beaches and the ever-present Christ the Redeemer statue.
Back on the ground, we spent most of our days sparring with the guys at the Gordo Evolve Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Barra, where Kyra Gracie trains regularly. But we also had a chance to train with the spunky little kids in the Vargem Grande area at Gracie's pet charity project, the Instituto Kapacidade, or Institute of Capability.
Known for its greenery and restaurants, Vargem Grande is also home to poorer communities where many residents work long hours as manual laborers or domestic help in Rio's more affluent areas. Kids ages 5 to 16 show up at the institute after school for martial arts instruction and for help with their schoolwork and computer skills.
"Our focus is not only on martial arts and academics, but it is on educating the kids about right and wrong," said Bruno Neves, who co-runs the institute. "We are doing this using Jiu-Jitsu."
Gracie explained. "Sometimes the parents are on buses for three hours a day commuting to and from their job and they don't have time to see the kids," she said. "They have difficulties in school." Along with Neves, she formed the Instituto Kapacidade three years ago. "The kids learn discipline and respect. When they compete in tournaments, they learn the power to control their minds and that can help them in their lives off the mat."
The institute's faded pink and blue mats occasionally had to be kicked back as we showed the kids techniques, rolled around and sparred with them. I don't speak a lot of Portuguese, but the high-contact art of Jiu-Jitsu is a language in itself. These kids in their well-worn gis were all smiles as they practiced an art that might lead them to a national championship or simply to good life skills.
Many Brazilians teeter on or below the brink of poverty, yet even those who sweep the streets are often smiling or singing to themselves. Perhaps it's the Brazilians' cultural value that encourages embracing life. It was hard to walk a block without seeing folks from all sectors of society enjoying food, sports or music.
Samba music, considered a gem of Brazil's national identity, was born in the 1920s in Rio's most impoverished neighborhoods. Rooted in the African rhythms brought by slaves, it exploded on the scene when samba schools started dancing their way through Rio's Carnival in the 1930s. Although I was not in Rio for Carnival, I wanted to check out the samba scene.
Donning dresses (for once) and happily comparing now-exposed Jiu-Jitsu bruises on our lower and upper extremities, the girls and I headed to the Lapa neighborhood, an artsy area that bubbles over with musical venues and bars. Standing on the upstairs balcony of nightclub Lapa 40 Degrees owned by Gracie's friend, dancer Carlinhos de Jesus, we overlooked the nine-piece samba band as it laid the beat for masses of hip-swaying Cariocas. Looking down, I realized that a Brazilian guy was pointing up, motioning for me to come and samba with him. I looked right and left, incredulously.
What the heck. I was in Brazil. That one samba lesson I took as part of my extensive pre-trip "all-things-Brazilian" research might just pay off, and hey, wasn't martial artist Bruce Lee also a cha-cha champion? And what about that dance scene withJean-Claude Van Dammein "Kickboxer"?
It was Jiu-Jitsu fighting that brought me to Brazil, but watching the Brazilians fight for every moment of joy made me understand how this country is climbing up the world's economic stage.
As I sambaed with Crazy Brazilian Guy, I got the rare Fred-and-Ginger-people-are-actually-clearing-a-space-for-us-on-the-dance-floor moment. Our last women's Jiu-Jitsu camp evening was spent in the club, experiencing the boundless enthusiasm Cariocas have for music and life.

It's a busy Saturday night at Chestnut 7 on Germantown Avenue, but there's plenty of elbow room for everyone.
The spacious new pub-grub joint took the place of Solaris in May, and the 30-odd bar stools stationed around the thick rectangular wooden bar top leave plenty of breathing room for a bite and a brew with friends.
"Chestnut Hill needed a bigger bar," said bartender and Hill resident Steve Hartner, taking a breather.
He's been shuttling back and forth between the beer taps and liquor stock all night; slinging spirits and pulling pints. Next to him, dishes of nachos, plates of French fries and burger platters spread out in front of patrons around the bar.
"Bars in Chestnut Hill are all kind of the same – you get there early and there's nowhere to go with friends to find a space," Hartner said.
Not at Chestnut 7, though. The food, drinks and space make this restaurant one of a kind. Behind Hartner, in a wide arc around the island bar, the patrons, eclectically clad in T-shirts and baseball caps or button downs and cotton pants, have plenty of room.
With elbows a-table, and drinks in hand, everyone is glued to the two large flat screen TVs above Hartner's head. There's a Phillies game on.
Bar tops can look and sound like the organized chaos of the Conshohocken Curve at rush hour – a traffic jam of arms, elbows, plates, silverware, bottles and colorful things in martini glasses. Chestnut 7, however, is more like the Autobahn: busy, spacious, and classy.
That's why when Lisa Kopcsandy, a longtime Solaris supporter, heard about Chestnut 7, she couldn't wait to bring her family and friends.
"I loved Solaris, but the bar was so closed in you couldn't come and hang out," Kopcsandy said, motioning to her small entourage perched at the bar eating, drinking and watching the game.
Still, Kopcsandy said that Chestnut 7 is not just a sports bar.
"You can come and watch the game, but it's more upscale," she said.
Chestnut 7's business cards disparage any sports bar myths as well, with "Kitchen & Bar" printed on one side and "Restaurant & Lounge" on the other. Just as the owners of Chestnut 7 carefully picked the Chestnut Hill real estate on Germantown Avenue for its burgeoning food culture, they carefully picked the real estate of Kitchen and Restaurant on their cards.
Location, location, location – it's somewhere in the space between the bar stools and the high wooden dining tables that Chestnut 7 takes on another role, Its role as renaissance restaurant, that is. The tempting aromas of crispy, thin-crust pizza with garlic, sundried tomato and olive waft from the open doors of the kitchen just behind the bar.
Serving up comfort foods like the CH7 burger, with your choice of five different cheeses, caramelized onions, mushrooms and applewood-smoked bacon, or a hearty jambalaya with shrimp, clams, chicken, and chorizo in a spicy Creole sauce, Chestnut 7 invites guests into a cozy, no fuss environment. You can even take it outside to the patio.
With the Phillies playing, however, and the massive flat screen TVs beaming the game into the bar area, the inside of Chestnut 7 stirs with the whoops and chatter of baseball fans.
"It's a great vibe for the space," said Michael Buchman, a young Mt. Airy resident, between bites of nachos and sips of beer. He glances up at Hunter Pence who launches one over the back wall.
"It's a great improvement from Solaris. They've really opened it up," he added.
At the other end of the bar, Beth Resch and her husband keep their distance from the din, but not too far to be out of touch with the action. The couple, who come to Chestnut Hill weekly from their home in Erdenheim for dinner or drinks, converse through the clangs and clinks of glasses and silverware.
"A lively atmosphere," Beth said with a smile after finishing her pint.
At 9:30, Steve Hartner is still weaving in and out of co-workers behind the bar, pouring drinks and serving up food.
"There's nothing comparable in Chestnut Hill," he said. "It gives the parents in their 40s a nice place to go instead of going all the way to Philly. It's a more sophisticated feel that's closer."
Plus, with Eagles season around the corner and plans to have live acoustic music sessions, Chestnut 7 is a restaurant for all seasons.

A Muslim woman was sitting next to the Christian woman in the pew. She reached out and whispered, "You are the true original people here, and we are sorry for what has been done to you in the name of Islam."
These words, printed in the New York Times three weeks ago, have buoyed up my spirit ever since.
The Muslim woman who spoke them did so at a Mass in a Christian church in Baghdad. She and some other people of her faith had gathered to express support for Christians who were being forced out of their native country.
Just days before, those Christians living in Mosul, Iraq�s second-largest city, had been driven out of their homes. The city had been overrun by ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
Members of this fiercely violent group were prepared to murder any Christians who refused to become Muslim. Most fled the city, leaving all of their possessions behind.
Other Christians who were living in Baghdad were worried that soon no people of their faith would be left. It must have come as a great relief that some Muslims in the capital city reached out to them.
Two parts of the Muslim woman�s statement would have had special meaning for the Christians.
First, calling them "the original people here." This refers to the historical fact of the ancestors of these Christians. Scholars say these people first settled in parts of what is now Iraq, not very long after the time of Jesus.
Their religious traditions bring them back to those early Christian centuries when the Apostles and others who knew Jesus did not seem far removed in time. This history is, of course, anathema to ISIS. Its members are ready to ruin whatever parts of this great tradition they can reach.
You can imagine what it must have meant for the people in this Christian church to hear their tradition recognized with respect.
The second essential part of the statement was the apology. The Muslim woman expressed regret that other Muslims were treating Christians so badly.
The actions of ISIS would seem to violate all that is important in the Islamic faith. To force non-Islamic people to abandon their religion, and threaten them with loss of life if they don�t, surely goes against all authentic religion.
This applies to Islamic people of all parties, as that faith�s authentic leaders will surely witness.
Of course, I am painfully aware of what Christians have done to non-Christians in many parts of the world at various points in history.
Among the many instances of this treatment I think of the Crusades, first begun in the 11th Century.
What future awaits the Christians of Iraq remains to be seen. Already large numbers of them have fled the country and become refugees. Soon, it seems, there will be few of their churches and other relics of their faith left in this violated country.
I have Jesuit friends who worked long ago to enhance the education of Iraqis; they must themselves now feel a strong sense of loss. The young men they educated at Baghdad College and Al-Hikma University were mostly Moslem. And these students felt strong appreciation of their Christian teachers.
But, in the late 1960s, Saddam Hussein�s Ba�ath party predecessors expelled the Jesuits from Baghdad. This qualified as an earlier and less violent act of intolerance.
The American role in the invasion of Iraq will surely go down in history as one of the terrible blunders of our time. The forced departure of Christians from their homes and churches is only one of many horrific outcomes of this error.

How To Prevent Snow Mold – Lawn Tips [Sponsored Post]
Snow mold is a fungus and common for Montana lawns. It generally kills only the leaf of the plant. It forms under the snow usually when the ground is unfrozen.
It does not occur every year though. Snow mold is UV sensitive so once the sun hits it, it's dead. Mow your lawn short in the fall to help reduce it throughout the winter and into the spring. It is not necessary to use fungicide on the snow mold as the sun takes care of it.
This lawn care tip is brought to you by Springhill Sod Farm

Is a Breakup Inevitable?Thursday, March 19th, 2015
You could have been heading for a breakup for some time without even knowing it. Some people can read between the lines better than others. These people are a lot more perceptive when it comes to friendships and relationships. They pick up on non-verbal cues and can usually often tell when someone is lying.
And yet these people will still often fail to notice when things start to go wrong. As well as the rest of us that can't see it at all, and feel like we have been hit by a sledgehammer when in fact an imminent breakup was creeping up on us all the time, the perceptive person can still be caught out.
A lot of these perceptive people realize that the signs had been there all along, but had chosen to ignore them. The biggest signs were 'gut' feelings that something was wrong. And that's the key! Our gut feelings are rarely wrong, and instead of ignoring them, we need to take notice before the relationship spirals out of control.
Your partner could be telling you one thing, but behaving a different way. This contradiction is usually a huge sign that all is not well.
Other common signs of an impending breakup are:
- Your partner becomes secretive
- There is a change in their routine
- They want to spend less time with you
- They forget important dates
- They go out with friends more than you
- They don't express love as often as they used to
- They don't propose within five years of dating
- They pick fights over insignificant things
- They continue friendships with ex partners
- They start to browse dating sites
These clues can often mean the writing's on the wall, but it does not mean your relationship is definitely doomed. It just means the spark has gone for your partner, but there are ways you can get it back!
You just need to be willing to change your outlook and behavior. So no, a breakup is not inevitable, and you are already in the right place to start to put things right!

KeePass stores your passwords securely in an encrypted file (database). This database is locked with a master password, a key file and/or the current Windows account details. To open a database, all key sources (password, key file, ...) are required. Together, these key sources form the Composite Master Key.
KeePass does not support keys being used alternatively, i.e. it's not possible that you can open your database using a password or a key file. Either use a password, a key file, or both at once (both required), but not interchangeably.
Master Passwords
If you use a master password, you only have to remember one password or passphrase (which should be good!) to open your database. KeePass features protection against brute-force and dictionary attacks on the master password, read the security information page for more about this.
If you forget this master password, all your other passwords in the database are lost, too. There isn't any backdoor or a key which can open all databases. There is no way of recovering your passwords.
Key Files
You don't even have to remember a long, complicated master passphrase. The database can also be locked using a key file. A key file is basically a master password in a file. Key files are typically stronger than master passwords, because the key can be a lot more complicated; however it's also harder to keep them secret.
Location. The point of a key file is that you have something to authenticate with (in contrast to master passwords, where you know something), for example a file on a USB stick. The key file content (i.e. the key data contained within the key file) needs to be kept secret. The point is not to keep the location of the key file secret – selecting a file out of thousands existing on your hard disk basically doesn't increase security at all, because it's very easy for malware/attackers to find out the correct file (for example by observing the last access times of files, the recently used files list of Windows, malware scanner logs, etc.). Trying to keep the key file location secret is security by obscurity, i.e. not really effective.
File Type and Existing Files. KeePass can generate key files for you, however you can also use any other, already existing file (like JPG image, DOC document, etc.).
KeePass 1.x OnlyIn order to use an existing file as key file, click the button with the 'Save' image in the master key creation dialog and select the existing file. After accepting the dialog, KeePass will ask you whether to overwrite or reuse the file (see screenshot).
KeePass 2.x OnlyIn order to use an existing file as key file, click the 'Browse' button in the master key creation dialog.
Windows User Account
KeePass 1.x OnlyKeePass 1.x does not support encrypting databases using Windows user account credentials. Only 2.x and higher support this.
KeePass 2.x OnlyKeePass can make the database dependent on the current Windows user account. If you enable this option, you can only open the database when you are logged in as the same Windows user when creating the database.
Be very careful with using this option. If your Windows user account gets deleted, you won't be able to open your KeePass database anymore. Also, when using this option at home and your computer breaks (hard disk damaged), it is not enough to just create a new Windows account on the new installation with the same name and password; you need to copy the complete account (i.e. SID, ...). This is not a simple task, so if you don't know how to do this, it is highly recommended that you don't enable this option. Detailed instructions how to recover a Windows user account can be found here: Recover Windows User Account Credentials (a short technical tutorial can be found in a Microsoft TechNet article: How to recover a Vault corrupted by lost DPAPI keys).
You can change the password of the Windows user account freely; this does not affect the KeePass database. Note that changing the password (e.g. a user using the Control Panel or pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del and selecting 'Change Password') and resetting it to a new one (e.g. an administrator using a
NET USER <User> <NewPassword>
command) are two different things.
After changing your password, you can still open your KeePass database.
When resetting the password to a new one, access usually is not possible
anymore (because the user's DPAPI keys are lost), but there are exceptions
(for example when the user is in a domain, Windows can retrieve the user's DPAPI keys
from a domain controller, or a home user can use a previously created
Password Reset Disk).
Details can be found in the MSDN article
Windows Data Protection and in the support article
How to troubleshoot the Data Protection API (DPAPI).
If you decide to use this option, it is highly recommended not to rely on it exclusively, but to additionally use one of the other two options (password or key file).

Administrators can specify a minimum length and/or the minimum estimated quality that master passwords must have in order to be accepted. You can tell KeePass to check these two minimum requirements by adding/editing appropriate definitions in the INI/XML configuration file.
KeePass 1.x OnlyThe value of the
KeeMasterPasswordMinLength key can contain
the minimum master password length in characters. For example, by specifying
KeeMasterPasswordMinLength=10, KeePass will only accept
master passwords that have at least 10 characters.
The value of the
KeeMasterPasswordMinQuality key can contain
the minimum estimated quality in bits that master passwords must have. For example,
by specifying
KeeMasterPasswordMinQuality=64, only master passwords
with an estimated quality of at least 64 bits will be accepted.
KeePass 2.x OnlyThe value of the
Security/MasterPassword/MinimumLength node specifies
the minimum master password length (in characters). For example, by setting
it to
10, KeePass will only accept
master passwords that consist of at least 10 characters.
The value of the
Security/MasterPassword/MinimumQuality node specifies
the minimum estimated quality (in bits) that master passwords must have.
For example, by setting it to
80, only master passwords
with an estimated quality of at least 80 bits will be accepted.
Security/MasterKeyExpiryRec node can be set to an
XSD date.
If the master key has not been changed since the specified date,
KeePass recommends to change it.
By specifying
KeyCreationFlags and/or
(in the
UI node), you can force states (enabled, disabled,
checked, unchecked) of key source controls in the master key creation and
prompt dialogs. These values can be bitwise combinations of one or more of
the following flags:
The values of
KeyCreationFlags and
must be specified in decimal notation.
For example, if you want to enforce using the user account option, you could check and disable the control (such that the user can't uncheck it anymore) by specifying 263168 as value (0x40000 + 0x400 = 0x40400 = 263168).

There's no question how important email marketing is when it comes to running a successful ecommerce business.
When compared to other channels, email subscribers are more responsive, they have a stronger connection with your business, and they buy more of your products.
And every subscriber counts. Whether you're gaining one per week, one per day, or one per minute.
But how to you go about getting people to join yet another newsletter - not to mention actually buying your stuff once they've signed up?
At the end of the day you need the right mix of incentives, sign-up forms and high quality, valuable content.
Let's take a look at how to put all these ingredients together so you can drive more sign-ups and sales.
Choosing the Right Sign Up Incentive
The first stage of building your mailing list is choosing the right incentive, or 'ethical bribe', to offer people in exchange for joining your list.
This step is all about getting permission to follow up with your potential customers over time.
There are lots of options you can choose from - the key is to make sure it's something that's compelling. For most ecommerce businesses, this is usually an immediate discount or the promise of getting future discounts and information about special, members-only sales delivered by email.
There are also a number of email marketing and incentive focused apps and services you can use to help make this step easier like Incentivibe and ViralSweep for example.
Another good incentive is a free piece of content that your target customer would find valuable and would put your subscriber into a buying frame of mind. Here are a couple of ideas to get you started.
- A women's clothing store could create seasonal fashion guides to help women learn the latest trends and how to coordinate outfits and accessories - specifically, outfits and accessories they sell.
- A bookseller could offer sample chapters of their latest / best sellers.
- A musician could offer a free MP3 download of their new song.
- A photographer could offer a free high-resolution wallpaper download.
No matter what industry you're in, coming up with a compelling incentive is an effective way to kickstart your list building efforts.
Creating High Converting Landing Pages
Once you've decided on your incentive, your next job is to create a landing page - sometimes called a squeeze page. A squeeze page is simply a page on your website that is 100% focused on getting people to subscribe to your mailing list.
Why do you need a landing page? You can use it in a variety of ways to help build your list.
- Add it as a link in your social profiles.
- Advertise it using Google AdWords and Facebook Ads.
- Link to it in blog posts.
- Link to it in emails (within the body or email signatures).
Essentially, it's just an easy to reference page that you can get people to and convince them to subscribe. It has no distractions - no other objectives.
Your landing page content should include a persuasive headline, some text or a video about your incentive and the benefits of joining your mailing list, and an opt-in form.
Everything else - like your sidebar - should be removed.
Placing Strategic Opt-in Forms
Aside from your landing page, the most important element for driving opt-ins on your website is strategically placed opt-in forms. Opt-in forms are just a fancy word for the email sign-up boxes.
Popular email marketing software solutions will have handy opt-in form generators that will provide you with a snippet of code that you can just drag and drop into various places around your site.
Here are some of the more popular services:
While it may sound excessive to add multiple opt-in forms to your website, it's really not. If you had eye-tracking analytics on every visitor to your website, you would find that they do not look at every part of your website, from header to footer.
They may just look at the content on a blog post or your about page, your navigation menu, or your sidebar. Hence, you need to make sure that any one spot they look at has a conversion point for your mailing list - an opt-in form.
So where should you place an opt-in? Here are good places to consider.
- Your header / navigation bar. This can be an email field with simple text like 'join', 'subscribe', 'sign up', 'get updates', 'get exclusive discounts', 'get our free fashion guide', etc.
- Your sidebar. This can be just an email field or name and address field with a sentence about your free incentive and what your mailing list has to offer.
- Your About Page. After you tell visitors about your business and the benefits of your products, get them to connect and learn more by subscribing. This can be just an email field or name and address field with a few sentences about why people should subscribe.
- At the bottom of your blog posts. If people make it to the end of your blog post, chances are they enjoyed your content and are ready to take action. Having a strategically placed form here gives them a clear option for what to do next.
- Your website footer. Let's say your visitor bypasses all of the above fields. If they do make it to your website footer, they're still interested. Capture them as subscribers.
- Your checkout page. One of the best ways to build your list is to simply make sales. The services mentioned above all have integrations, whether it's their own or a third party app, that will allow you to add customers to your email list after they make a purchase.
Most visitors will be blind to a few of these spots so having multiple forms is important.
Also, if you run a brick and mortar store, don't forget about offline opportunities. Email service providers provide apps that allow you to capture subscribers in-person. One such app is Chimpadeedoo from MailChimp which lets subscribers enter their email address on your iPad or Android tablet. Even if you're offline, it will collect the email addresses and import them into your MailChimp account the next time you're online.
Staying in Touch
As you start growing your mailing list, you need to make sure you're staying in touch with your subscribers. The last thing you want is to build up a great list, not email them for months, and then have them either not open your emails or unsubscribe because they've forgotten all about you and why they joined in the first place.
You have two options for keeping your subscribers interested in your business. The first is to send regular, manual updates, such as newsletters, information about your industry that your customers would want to keep up-to-date about, or links to your latest pieces of content. Preferably this would be high quality content that has independent value but that also has sales and conversions in mind. This option is best for businesses who have new things to talk about on a consistent basis.
The second option is to put your customers in an autoresponder series. This is a series of emails that you set up in advance and scheduled to send to new subscribers within a specific timeframe as they join your list.
Your first email to your subscriber would have the incentive you promised - the discount, free guide, link to a download, etc. The next email, sent a few days later, would follow up with the subscriber, asking how they liked the incentive. The next email, sent a few days later, would let subscribers know about some products and services that will be of interest based on the free incentive they received.
This option is best for businesses who have pretty static products or simply those who want to automate their sales funnel in a set it and (almost) forget it kind of way. I say almost because if you do have updates to your products and services, you'll want to update your autoresponder accordingly for future subscribers.
Bringing it All Together
When it comes down to it, building your list is all about getting permission and providing value. To get permission, think about what incentives or high quality content you can create in order to drive sign-ups. Once you've got people joining your list, focus on sending your subscribers a balanced mix of more high quality content with occasional sales and promotional messages mixed in.
In our next post in this series, we'll be looking at how some of the major online brands are building their lists and driving sales with email marketing.
Make sure you sign up for free email updates in the sidebar on the right so you don't miss out.

After making an undefeated run through the Girls Inter-Ac League regular season schedule for the first time in school history, Springside Chestnut Hill Academy tested its mettle against some of the best runners in the region last Saturday evening, participating in the 7th Annual Twilight Invitational at Souderton High School.
The boys' varsity race was, indeed, run at twilight, and in the girls' race, which went of a little earlier, the SCH Lions received a sixth-place finish from sophomore Jamie Costarino and wound up 10th in the team standings out of the 14 schools who had official teams at the event. Although still rounding back into shape following a stress fracture, Costarino ran a personal record time of 18 minutes, 53 seconds, joining 14 other runners who earned MileSplit® National Elite Silver Standard status on Souderton's relatively flat five-kilometer course.
Because every other team at the invitational was a member of the Pa. Interscholastic Athletic Association, Springside Chestnut Hill did not enter one of its varsity regulars, Emma Helstrom, in the actual varsity race at Souderton. Instead, the seventh-grader competed in the junior varsity contest, beating all of her high-school-aged opponents to win in 20:26, more than half-a-minute ahead of the runner-up.
In league competition this fall, the Lions' first dual meet turned out to be the closest, as they won at Germantown Academy, 28-29. In another nailbiter on the road, SCH topped Penn Charter, 27-30, and after that the
rest of the team's Inter-Ac wins came more easily.
Captain Maddi Hinchey, a Norwood Fontbonne Academy graduate, is the only senior on the Lions' roster. At last Saturday's invitational she placed 35th in 21 minutes flat, a step behind freshman teammate Nicole Novo, who was 34th in 20:59. Completing the team score for the Lions were freshman Brenna Isackman (67th; 22:39), and a sophomore transfer from the Academy of Notre Dame, Steph Haenn (82nd; 24:54).
The SCH underclassmen were just part of a plethora of young talent at the Twilight Invitational. In fact, the first two seniors didn't finish until 10th and 11th place; defending Catholic Academies champion Megan Magarity of St. Basil was timed in 19:15, and Gwynedd Mercy's Emma Keenan finished two seconds later. In addition to placing ahead of these two AACA standouts, SCH's Costarino also eclipsed the top finisher from that league, Nazareth Academy junior Veronica Wheeler (7th; 19:00).
Methacton High School phenom Kara Steinke, an 11th-grader who won the championship division at September's Briarwood Invitational in Philadelphia, shattered both the competition and the course record last Saturday, winning in 18:05. That put her 29 seconds ahead of the runner-up, fellow junior Kaitlin Poisz of Central Bucks South.
Third through fifth went to a trio of freshmen. Maddie Villalba (18:44) and Emory Griffin (18:48) helped generate a convincing team victory for Central Bucks West, who totaled 40 points while Poisz' C.B. South squad was a distant runner-up with 106. In fifth place was Wissahickon High School's Lotte Black (18:51).
This week, Springside Chestnut Hill will once again be trying to make some waves in a major talent pool, travelling to the Henderson High School Invitational in West Chester, PA. That'll be the Lions' final tune-up before the Inter-Ac championship meet on October 15 at Belmont Plateau.

Britney Spears Gets Engaged to Jason Trawick
It's official! Britney Spears is engaged to marry Jason Trawick. According to sources at People, Trawick got down on one knee and popped the question to Spears last night (Dec. 15) on the eve of his 40th birthday.
"This is something they've both wanted for a long time," a source tells Us Weekly (via Rolling Stone). "It's a way to cement their family. They're both extremely happy and can't wait to become man and wife."
Another source tells People, "He surprised her after she gave him his gifts and after they had cake last night." The engagement ring is said to be Neil Lane sparkler.
Spears, 30, and Trawick will celebrate their engagement tonight in Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood."She's very happy. It's going to be a great weekend," the sources says.
Trawick is Spears' former manager, helping to run her career from 2008 up until early 2011. Britney's fiancee, who co-stars in her 'Criminal' video, retired from his position as her manager earlier this year in order to dedicate more time to their relationship.
Spears has two sons with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline. We hope that her kids — Preston, 6, and Jayden, 5, — are excited for their mom and soon-to-be step-dad!
Congratulations to Britney Spears and Jason Trawick! We wish you both all of the happiness in the world.

For Patriots' Danny Woodhead, it's all positive
FOXBOROUGH — It's not simply a personality trait of Danny Woodhead's to shun the negative and embrace the positive. His production on the football field almost always follows suit.
Those who have watched Woodhead this season have seen the pride of North Platte, Neb., set a career high for touchdowns (seven) in his third year with the Patriots. They've seen him become the first Patriot since Kevin Faulk in 2008 to join the 40-40 club, with at least 40 carries and 40 receptions in the same season; Woodhead has 76 rushes and 40 catches.
They've seen Woodhead pile up 747 yards on the season: 301 on the ground, 446 through the air. Not bad, but not as good as his first year with the Patriots in 2010, when he gained 926 all-purpose yards in only 14 games, after being released one game into the season by the Jets, then quickly signed by their division rivals.
Woodhead has been dependable ever since, staying healthy, earning a start every so often, taking advantage of the plays the Patriots call for him, gaining yards. Almost always gaining yards.
"That's definitely the goal, but you also have 10 other guys doing their job, and without them you're not going to get a positive play,'' Woodhead said. "I try to approach every play the same: to go out and do my responsibility to the best of my ability.''
If it seems Woodhead gains yards every single time he carries the ball or catches it, that's not correct. But it's not far off.
Question: In his 116 regular-season touches this year, how many negative-yardage plays was Woodhead responsible for?
Answer: Four.
The short list: A 9-yard rushing loss on a third-and-6 play in the third quarter against the Cardinals in Week 2; a 4-yard rushing loss on a first-and-10 play in the fourth quarter against the Ravens in Week 3; a 2-yard loss on a fourth-quarter pass from Tom Brady against the Dolphins in Week 13; and a 3-yard loss on a first-quarter pass from Brady against the 49ers in Week 15.
That's it. Just four times in 116 chances. Roughly 3 percent of the time, Woodhead was brought down behind the line of scrimmage. Every other touch has brought positive yardage.
"Danny is as consistent of a worker as we have,'' said offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. "He comes into the building every day and really does a great job of studying the opponent, studies his game plan and his role in it.''
Those who grew accustomed to seeing Faulk as a run/catch threat for the Patriots, especially on third down, should see a resemblance in Woodhead. Strong enough to push a pile for a few extra yards, quick enough to separate from a linebacker on a short pass route, smart enough to make the right reads and maximize open space. A leader, mostly by example.
"He knows more than his responsibility on every play, which I think is a valuable asset to have. He does a great job of carrying out his assignment,'' McDaniels said. "He's a dependable player, and if you can use that word about any player, I think that's a great thing for your team and certainly for our offense.
"Danny is unselfish. He goes in when he's told to go in and does his job to the best of his ability every single play. Usually, the results are very positive for us.''
Woodhead isn't the featured back; Stevan Ridley has roughly four times as many carries (290) and four times the yards (1,263). But he's not the dual threat Woodhead is. None of the other running backs are, either. Ridley, Shane Vereen, and Brandon Bolden have 16 receptions this year. Combined.
Faulk wasn't the featured back, either, but he created a valuable role that Woodhead has seemingly stepped into, with similar success.
"I don't know if I've looked too much into that,'' Woodhead said, when asked about the similarities. "Kevin's a great guy, he's a good friend, he was an awesome teammate to me, and he's definitely someone I can talk to about anything.''
Woodhead is playing some of his best football of the season as the Patriots embark on yet another playoff run. They'll watch the AFC wild-card games this weekend, which will determine their Jan. 13 opponent at Gillette Stadium in the divisional round. If Houston beats Cincinnati Saturday, the Texans are headed to Foxborough for a rematch of a regular-season game won by the Patriots, 42-14. A Bengals win means the Indianapolis-Baltimore winner heads north.
The 59-24 win over the Colts Nov. 18 is the only game this season in which Woodhead was shut out: no carries, no catches. He had a season-high 61 rushing yards on 12 attempts in the loss three weeks ago to the 49ers, and a season-high 79 receiving yards (on five catches) in the regular-season finale last Sunday against the Dolphins. Add in 18 rushing yards, and the 97 all-purpose yards are the most for Woodhead since a 125-yard game against Buffalo on Dec. 26, 2010.
"Whatever I'm asked to do,'' Woodhead said. "If I'm asked to run the ball, I'll do whatever I can to do my best, and if I'm asked to run a route and catch the ball, I'm willing to do that also. Whatever the coaches ask.''
They've asked him to do a little bit of everything. He's not a bruising, every-down back (he's had more than eight carries just twice this season), but he uses his 5-foot-8-inch frame to his advantage, slinking behind bigger linemen, slithering through the smallest opening.
"When you're small, you can do that,'' Woodhead said. "I try to take what God has given me and do the best I can. I'm obviously blessed to have awesome coaches and teammates with me.''
With the playoffs looming, Woodhead is focused on what's in his control. Not his contract status (his two-year extension ends this season), not his season so far, not how he might be underappreciated, especially beyond the Gillette Stadium locker room.
"That's not something I ever think of,'' said Woodhead. "I just try to go out and do my job every day. I'm not worried about the outside.
"Everyone [here] is just concerned with doing their job, and I like that, because I'm just concerned with doing my job.''
