Bock is a strong lager of German origin. Several substyles exist, including maibock (helles bock, heller bock), a paler, more hopped version generally made for consumption at spring festivals; doppelbock (double bock), a stronger and maltier version; and eisbock, a much stronger version made by partially freezing the beer and removing the ice that forms.
Originally a dark beer, a modern bock can range from light copper to brown in colour.[1] The style is very popular, with many examples brewed internationally.
The style known now as bock was a dark, malty, lightly hopped ale first brewed in the 14th century by German brewers in the Hanseatic town of Einbeck.[2] The style from Einbeck was later adopted by Munich brewers in the 17th century and adapted to the new lager style of brewing. Due to their Bavarian accent, citizens of Munich pronounced "Einbeck" as "ein Bock" ("a billy goat"), and thus the beer became known as "bock". To this day, as a visual pun, a goat often appears on bock labels.[2]
Bock is historically associated with special occasions, often religious festivals such as Christmas, Easter or Lent (the latter as Lentenbock). Bocks have a long history of being brewed and consumed by Bavarian monks as a source of nutrition during times of fasting.[3]
Bockfest, in Cincinnati, Ohio, is the longest running and largest bock beer festival in the world. The festival celebrates bock beer, the Cincinnati neighborhood of Over-the-Rhine, the city's German heritage, and the coming of spring.
Styles of bock
Traditional bock
Traditional bock is a sweet, relatively strong (6.3%–7.2% by volume), lightly hopped (20-27 IBUs) lager. The beer should be clear, and colour can range from light copper to brown, with a bountiful and persistent off-white head. The aroma should be malty and toasty, possibly with hints of alcohol, but no detectable hops or fruitiness. The mouthfeel is smooth, with low to moderate carbonation and no astringency. The taste is rich and toasty, sometimes with a bit of caramel. Again, hop presence is low to undetectable, providing just enough bitterness so that the sweetness is not cloying and the aftertaste is muted.[1] The following commercial products are indicative of the style: Einbecker Ur-Bock Dunkel, Pennsylvania Brewing St. Nick Bock, Aass Bock, Great Lakes Rockefeller Bock, Stegmaier Brewhouse Bock.
The maibock style, also known as helles bock or heller bock, is a helles lager brewed to bock strength; therefore, still as strong as traditional bock, but lighter in colour and with more hop presence. It is a fairly recent development compared to other styles of bock beers, frequently associated with springtime and the month of May. Colour can range from deep gold to light amber with a large, creamy, persistent white head, and moderate to moderately high carbonation, while alcohol content ranges from 6.3% to 7.4% by volume. The flavour is typically less malty than a traditional bock, and may be drier, hoppier, and more bitter, but still with a relatively low hop flavour, with a mild spicy or peppery quality from the hops, increased carbonation and alcohol content. The following commercial products are indicative of the style: Ayinger Maibock, Mahr's Bock, Hacker-Pschorr Hubertus Bock, Capital Maibock, Einbecker Mai-Urbock, Hofbräu Maibock, Victory St. Boisterous, Gordon Biersch Blonde Bock, Smuttynose Maibock, Old Dominion Brewing Company Big Thaw Bock, [Brewery 85's Quittin' Time], Rogue Dead Guy Ale, Franconia Brewing Company Maibock Ale, Church Street maibock, and Tröegs Cultivator.
Doppelbock or double bock is a stronger version of traditional bock that was first brewed in Munich by the Paulaner Friars, a Franciscan order founded by St. Francis of Paula.[3] Historically, doppelbock was high in alcohol and sweet, thus serving as "liquid bread" for the Friars during times of fasting, when solid food was not permitted. Today, doppelbock is still strong—ranging from 7%–12% or more by volume. It is clear, with colour ranging from dark gold, for the paler version, to dark brown with ruby highlights for darker version. It has a large, creamy, persistent head (although head retention may be impaired by alcohol in the stronger versions). The aroma is intensely malty, with some toasty notes, and possibly some alcohol presence as well; darker versions may have a chocolate-like or fruity aroma. The flavour is very rich and malty, with toasty notes and noticeable alcoholic strength, and little or no detectable hops (16–26 IBUs). Paler versions may have a drier finish. The monks who originally brewed doppelbock named their beer "Salvator" ("Savior"), which today is trademarked by Paulaner.[3] Brewers of modern doppelbocks often add "-ator" to their beer's name as a signpost of the style; there are 200 "-ator" doppelbock names registered with the German patent office.[3] The following are representative examples of the style: Predator, Paulaner Salvator, Ayinger Celebrator, Weihenstephaner Korbinian, Andechser Doppelbock Dunkel, Spaten Optimator, Augustiner Maximator, Tucher Bajuvator, Weltenburger Kloster Asam-Bock, Capital Autumnal Fire, EKU 28, Eggenberg Urbock 23º, Bell's Consecrator, Moretti La Rossa, Samuel Adams Double Bock, Tröegs Tröegenator Double Bock, Wasatch Brewery Devastator, Great Lakes Doppelrock, Abita Andygator, and Wolverine State Brewing Company Predator.
Eisbock is a traditional specialty beer of the Kulmbach district of Germany that is made by partially freezing a doppelbock and removing the water ice to concentrate the flavour and alcohol content, which ranges from 9% to 13% by volume. It is clear, with a colour ranging from deep copper to dark brown in colour, often with ruby highlights. Although it can pour with a thin off-white head, head retention is frequently impaired by the higher alcohol content. The aroma is intense, with no hop presence, but frequently can contain fruity notes, especially of prunes, raisins, and plums. Mouthfeel is full and smooth, with significant alcohol, although this should not be hot or sharp. The flavour is rich and sweet, often with toasty notes, and sometimes hints of chocolate, always balanced by a significant alcohol presence. The following are representative examples of the style: Kulmbacher Reichelbräu Eisbock, Eggenberg, Schneider Aventinus Eisbock, Urbock Dunkel Eisbock, Franconia Brewing Company Ice Bock 17%.
The strongest ice-beer is being produced by a Franconian company as well - it is called Schorschbräu and is 57% (current world record).
Weizenbock is a style of bock brewed using wheat instead of barley. It was first produced in Bavaria in 1907 by G. Schneider & Sohn and was named Aventinus after a Bavarian historian. The style combines darker Munich malts and top-fermenting wheat beer yeast, brewed at the strength of a doppelbock.[4]

Mikey Radziwon popping off the roof at Mt. High. Photo: Bryce Maxwell
A few weeks ago on an otherwise normal weekday at Mountain High, Justin Montoya (Terrain Park Manager), inspired by a symphony of snow removal, commandeered a skid steer and created an impromptu bomb drop off the south wall of the West Base Lodge. Mikey Radziwon, Cory Whetstone, Anthony Fire, and a guy only known as Mizl, cleared a launch pad atop the roof and began scoping out the newly-created landing. After only 2 practice attempts, the 4 riders began throwing down. Anthony elected to throw down a clean Frontside Nosebone with Whetstone following up with a very classic and very stylish method. Mikey decided a Front 270 Melon would be a nice variation while Mizl, took it way back to the days of Palmer with a One Footed Bomb Drop to seal the stylish deal. The session ended as quickly as it began, and just like that, the snow was cleared, the crowd dispersed, and everyone walked away with a fun story to tell.

Let's try some pop-culture word association: Top Gun? Aviators. Risky Business? Wayfarers. Cruise proves it time and time again: a great pair of sunglasses makes all the difference!
Now sure, times have changed since 1983 — the Cold War's over and Ray-Ban is just one fish in a sea of wayfarers — but sunnies are still, without a doubt, the go-to accessory for box-office smashing outfits. Want proof? Check out our first NYC edition of shade-stalking (sorry left coast, we know how to rock 'em better than you). Yep, we got in the faces of friendly sidewalk passersby to get a close-up look at their summertime specs. Sure enough we could really, erm, see ourselves in them. You, too?

Extraterrestrial Affairs Editor
This source for this post is an article from MUFON's (the Mutual UFO Network) web site. The authorship--like much of UFOlogy is murky. In any case, it is amusing. You have to admit, it would be a little spooky to find footsteps and bodies on the moon. And wearing jeans!
America'a Apollo 11 lunar module photographed a human skeleton on the moon when it landed there in 1969.
That's the claim of Chinese astrophysicist Dr. Kang Mao-pang,who first floored the world when he released pictures of bare human footprints on the moon at a news conference in Beijing last winter. The scientist claimed to have received those photos --- which were so secret the Apollo 11 astronauts didn't even know they existed -- from "an unimpeachable U.S. source."
The photograph of the human skeleton was included with a second batch of photos and documents he received from the same source. "The Americans have conspired in a cover-up of monumental and possibly even criminal proportions," Dr. Kang told newsmen in Beijing. "They hid photos of bare human footprints on the moon for 20 years and managed to keep the human skeleton secret even longer. The implications of what they found up there are staggering," he continued. "But the Americans apparently feel that nobody else in the world is privileged enough to share the information."
The story goes that Dr. Kang's allegations stunned U.S. space and intelligence experts, one of whom went into hiding after reporters tried to question him in a Washington, D.C., restaurant. Other sources also allegedly refused to comment--even when told that the Chinese expert has copies of over 1,000 NASA photographs that clearly show bare human footprints and a human skeleton on the lunar surface.
Intriguingly, the skeleton appears to have been wearing jeans. Judging from the position of the bones, it seems likely that the person it belonged to was at least partially dismembered and met with a violent death. It is also probable that the skeleton was transported into space long after the person was killed. The decomposition of bone and flesh would not have been possible in the airless atmosphere of the moon. The Chinese expert further noted that the age of the skeleton cannot be estimated without analyzing the bone firsthand.
"Like the footprints on the moon, these photos were taken by a remote camera aboard the lunar lander and were given to me by an American source who is beyond reproach," said Dr. Kang. "I am also in the possession of classified documents and letters that describe the footprints as being fresh and the skeleton unquestionably human. The question that must be answered is how the footprints and skeleton go to the moon. The obvious implication is that extraterrestrial lifeforms were involved but we'll never know unless the Americans release the information they have."
The documents Dr. Kang quoted from are stamped "top secret" and dated Aug. 3, 1969, which means they were written just two weeks after astronauts Neal Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed and walked on the moon--in boots, not barefoot--on July 20, 1969. Large portions of the text have been redacted in black ink. It's clear that U.S experts agreed extraterrestrials had something to do with the bare footprints and skeleton on the moon.
Repeated attempts to get officials at any level of government to address Dr. Kang's report were unsuccessful. Explained a Washington source: "Nobody's going to say anything until President Bush gives the go-ahead. This isn't any ordinary cover-up. It makesWatergate look like a Sunday School picnic. It's that damn big."
Jack Note: As wonderful as the story is, it has unfortunately been traced back to the July 15, 1997 issue of none other than the Weekly World News...

2. works for print on white (letterheads, business cards, etc.)
3. Any icon, image, etc. should be worked into the lettering or go below/above it, nothing on the left or right of the word "beanster".
please stay away from legumey designs :) I just want to clarify I'm not looking for a green logo necessarily, just that colors you choose for the logo look good against the above green.

Dear Environmental Protection Agency,
I'm writing to support the carbon pollution standards for new power plants.
Carbon pollution is being dumped into our atmosphere at unprecedented and unregulated rates, and it's costing us. We're paying in dollars, in lives, in jobs, in lifestyles -- truly in every way imaginable.
Because of this unchecked carbon pollution, I'm living in a world of extreme, erratic weather. In 2013 alone our precious planet was subject to biblical flooding, unprecedented wildfire, crippling drought, devastating super storms, and so much more. I don't want to leave that behind for future generations.
If carbon pollution continues unchecked, my children face a future of extreme weather, worsening health, food insecurity, and a bleak economy. I refuse to sacrifice their future when clean, renewable alternatives are readily available.
Today, power plants have limits on emissions of mercury, sulfur, arsenic, cyanide, soot, and lead, but there are no federal limits on carbon pollution that is responsible for climate change. This must end, and your limits on carbon pollution from new power plants are an important first step.
Thank you for recognizing the cost we're all paying for carbon pollution, and for taking necessary steps to protect future generations of Americans, and people just like me.

As you already know, carbon pollution is driving climate change, transforming our weather, disrupting our lives, and threatening our future.
We cannot afford to live in a world with unregulated, unchecked carbon pollution like we do today. The fact is 40 percent of the carbon pollution emitted in the U.S. comes from power plants -- and that's just too much.
But here's the thing: we can do something about it. Today.
Recently, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed a groundbreaking new standard to limit carbon pollution from new power plants, helping ensure a safer, cleaner, and healthier future for us all. It's one of the most important climate policy developments in the United States in decades. But with Big Oil and Big Coal fighting hard -- and fighting nasty -- to undermine the standard, it won't stand without your support.
Please, sign our petition to tell the EPA we need to make carbon pollution history.

Suarez charged with violent conduct
The Football Association has charged Liverpool forward Luis Suarez with violent conduct for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.
The incident occurred in the 74th minute of Sunday's 2-2 draw at Anfield, in which Suarez went on to score a 96th-minute equaliser.
Suarez could face an extended ban after the FA claimed the standard three-match ban for violent conduct was "clearly insufficient".
An FA statement read: "The FA has charged Liverpool forward Luis Suarez with violent conduct. The charge follows an incident with Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic in yesterday's fixture at Anfield [21 April 2013]. The incident was not seen by the match officials and has therefore been retrospectively reviewed.
"It is alleged that the conduct of Suarez constitutes violent conduct and it is the FA's contention that the standard punishment of three matches that would otherwise apply is clearly insufficient in these circumstances. Suarez has until 6pm on Tuesday 23 April to respond to the charge, thereafter an Independent Regulatory Commission will be convened this Wednesday, 24 April."
Liverpool have pledged not to sell the Uruguay international after his latest transgression, despite many commentators suggesting they should offload a player who had brought more than his fair share of controversy.
The 26-year-old has been fined - with the player requesting the money goes to the Hillsborough Family Support Group - but that will be the extent of the club's discipline. Suarez, however, has been told that there cannot be any repeat offences and that he must change his behaviour on the pitch.
Asked whether the incident would have any effect on the player's future managing director Ian Ayre, who has liaised with owners Fenway Sports Group over the last 24 hours, told liverpoolfc.com: "No, not at all. It affects his future in the sense that we have to work with him on his discipline - but Luis is a very important player to the club.
"He signed a new four-year contract last summer and we'd all love to see him here throughout that contract. He's a fantastic player, top scorer and everything we'd want in a striker, so there's no change there.
"This is more about getting him back on the right track and it's largely down to (manager) Brendan (Rodgers) now to work with him on that side of his character, Brendan will be working with him further on his discipline."

Top 10 Reasons to Visit Branson During the Holiday Season
By: Michael Ayo
Fall and winter are absolutely beautiful in Branson. Between the fall colors and the Christmas lights, your senses will be overwhelmed with beauty as you drive through town. Whether you are planning a vacation in November or December, there are a number of fantastic activities and festivities to experience. So much so that it is hard to narrow it down, but Choose Branson did its best.
10. Adoration Parade, Dec. 4
The 68th annual Adoration Parade will take place through downtown Branson on Sunday, Dec. 4. It starts with the annual lighting of the area's largest nativity scene then the parade follows through town. On this night of celebration, no organization is highlighted and nothing is promoted, it's just some good, old-fashioned Christmas festivities.
9. Lazy Magnolia Carriage Company
There is no shortage of Christmas lights throughout the city of Branson, and there is no better way to view them than from a horse-drawn carriage. The Lazy Magnolia Carriage Company operates out of downtown Branson and gives you a beautiful and elegant carriage ride through town, making it a great activity for the holiday season.
8. Branson Landing
The Branson Landing is absolutely stunning during the holiday season. Festive decorations line the boardwalk and a 50-foot Christmas tree stands tall in the Landing's town square. When you make a trip to the Landing, you can take in the beauty of Lake Taneycomo, view the holiday decorations and visit Santa Claus at Bass Pro Shops.
7. Ozark Mountain Christmas Lights and Village
This festive village is located off Buena Vista Road in Branson, and features 200 displays and over 1 million Christmas lights. Paired with the light displays are holiday-themed crafts available for purchase along with homemade fudge, kettle corn, hot chocolate and s'mores. Once you have seen the lights and sampled the holiday snacks, view the life-size nativity scene and be sure to take the kids to go see Santa.
6. Holiday Shopping
Branson is a shopping haven, and it is made even better during the holiday season. Malls such as the Branson Landing and Tanger Outlets have impeccable deals during the holidays, or if you want something directly catered toward Christmas, check out Kringles Christmas Store at the Grand Village Shops. Kringles is the largest Christmas store in the state of Missouri, and features an incredible collection of Christmas decorations including 125 designer-decorated themed trees.
5. Shepherd of the Hills
The Shepherd of the Hills Homestead turns into a Christmas wonderland during the holiday season. Instead of the usual "Roundup on the Trail" show, the "Christmas on the Trail" show plays for eager visitors. While you listen to classic holiday music, you will enjoy a chuckwagon dinner like no other complete with maple-smoked turkey breast, a whole-flame roasted ear of corn, cornbread and Dutch-oven cobbler. Once you have seen the show, be sure to visit the Trail of Lights that features two and a half miles of animated displays, three-dimensional characters and multi-colored lights.
4. Polar Express
Throughout the months of November and December, the Branson Scenic Railway transforms into the Polar Express. This holiday-themed train ride takes you on a magical trip through the Ozarks while supplying you with hot cocoa and freshly baked cookies.
3. Veterans Homecoming Week
One holiday that may not be as important as Christmas to most is an incredibly big deal in Branson. Veterans Day is widely celebrated throughout the Ozarks and there is a whole week of events dedicated to it. Branson's Veterans Homecoming Weekkicks off on Nov. 5 and lasts through Nov. 11. Events include special performances from "Baldknobbers Jamboree," "Golden Sounds of the Platters" and more. There will also be special ceremonies and activities for veterans in attendance. The week will conclude with the 83rd annual Veterans Day Parade through downtown Branson.
2. Holiday Shows
There are several shows throughout November and December that put on special performances for the holidays. "It" at the Hughes Brothers Theatre puts on a special show for Thanksgiving along with a wonderful Christmas show. Other shows such as Shoji Tabuchi, "Haygoods" and "Dixie Stampede" provide a completely different performance during the holiday season.
1. An Old Time Christmas Festival at Silver Dollar City
Silver Dollar City's "An Old Time Christmas" has been recognized by USA Today, CNN Travel, The Travel Channel, Good Morning America, AOL Travel, Yahoo! Travel and MSN.com as a top holiday celebration in America. This festival includes 5 million lights, 1,000 decorated trees and a five-story special effects Christmas tree. There are also wonderful Christmas shows inside the park such as "The Living Nativity," "It's a Wonderful Life," "A Dickens' Christmas Carol" and the Frisco Sing-Along Steam Train. Rudolph's Holly Jolly Christmas Light Parade marches through the streets twice each evening as well.

There's an old joke that highlights the risk inherent in investing: "How do you make a million dollars in the market? Start with two million." A million dollars may not buy what it did when that joke was first written, but it's a nest egg for many investors. In this post, we'll walk through a step-by-step example of protecting a million dollar nest egg against market risk.
Step 1: Choose A Proxy Exchange-Traded FundAlthough mutual funds can't be hedged directly, you can still hedge a diverse portfolio of mutual funds and non-hedgeable stocks against market risk by buying optimal puts* on a suitable exchange-traded fund, or ETF. The first consideration is that the ETF will need to have options traded on it, but most of the most widely-traded ETFs do. The second consideration is that the ETF be invested in same asset class as your portfolio. Let's assume your portfolio consists of mutual funds that are invested in blue chip U.S. stocks. An ETF you could use as a proxy would be the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average (NYSEARCA:DIA), which, as its name suggests, tracks the Dow Jones Industrial Average. You could then enter its ticker symbol, DIA, in "Ticker Symbol" field in the Portfolio Armor iOS app, as in the screen capture below.For larger image view, click here. Step 2: Pick A Number Of SharesIn order to hedge a $1,000,000 equity portfolio against market risk, you would want to hedge an equivalent dollar amount of your proxy ETF. Since DIA traded at $148.64 on Wednesday, you would simply divide your portfolio dollar amount, $1,000,000, by $148.64, and enter the rounded quotient, 6728, in the "Shares Owned" field, as in the screen capture below.Step 3: Pick a ThresholdThreshold, in this context, means the maximum decline in the value of your position that you are willing to risk. If you weren't sure of that, you could click on the question mark to the right of the Threshold field above, and you'd see this explanation in the screen capture below.What is the maximum decline you are willing to risk? Generally, the larger the decline, the less expensive the hedge, and vice-versa. In some cases, a threshold that's too small can be so expensive to hedge that the cost of doing so is greater than the loss you are trying to hedge. I generally use 20% decline thresholds when hedging equities, an idea borrowed from a comment by fund manager John Hussman:"An intolerable loss, in my view, is one that requires a heroic recovery simply to break even ... a short-term loss of 20%, particularly after the market has become severely depressed, should not be at all intolerable to long-term investors because such losses are generally reversed in the first few months of an advance (or even a powerful bear market rally)."Essentially, 20% is a large enough threshold that it reduces the cost of hedging but not so large that it precludes a recovery. So we'll enter 20, in the Threshold field below, and tap "done", as in the screen capture below.Step 4: Find the Optimal Puts A few moments after tapping "Done", we'd be presented with the optimal puts. The screen capture below shows the optimal puts, as of Wednesday's close to hedge against a greater-than-20% drop in DIA over the next several months.
Continue Reading Below
As you can see at the bottom of the screen capture above, the cost of this protection was only 1.17% of your position value.How This Hedge Would Protect Your Mutual Fund PortfolioRemember, the reason we picked DIA in this case is because our hypothetical investor's mutual funds were invested in blue chip US stocks. If these mutual funds drop in value due to a market decline, most likely, the Dow Jones Industrial Average will have dropped as well. And if the Dow has dropped, the ETF tracking it, DIA, will have dropped as well. If the Dow drops more than 20% -- if it drops 20.5%, 30%, 40%, or even more -- the put options above will rise in price by at least enough so that the total value of a $1,000,000 position in DIA + the puts will have only dropped by 20%, in a worst-case scenario.Put options move in a nonlinear fashion, which enables a small dollar amount of them to hedge a much larger dollar value position in an underlying security. For an example of this nonlinearity in action, see this post about hedges on Microsoft (NASDAQGS:MSFT).
Hedging A Portfolio Of Stock And Bond Mutual FundsThe example above is simplified in that we've assumed our hypothetical investor's portfolio is entirely invested in equity mutual funds. But what if he had some bonds or bond mutual funds? In that case, we could use a similar process to hedge his portfolio against market risk, except instead of using just one proxy ETF, we'd use one per each asset class. So, for example, if 60% of the investor's assets were in blue chip US stocks, and 40% in investment grade corporate bonds, we might scan for optimal puts for a $600k position in DIA and then scan for optimal puts for a $400k position in the iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD).*Optimal puts are the ones that will give you the level of protection you want at the lowest possible cost. Portfolio Armor uses an algorithm developed by a finance Ph.D to sort through and analyze all of the available puts for your stocks and ETFs, scanning for the optimal ones.

It also runs on top of python and anaconda. From your list of tools below, you're definitely doing redundant work, but yum has more features and looks a bit easier to modify. From its man page: yum(8) yum(8) NAME yum - Yellowdog Updater Modified SYNOPSIS yum [options] [command] [package ...] DESCRIPTION yum is an interactive, automated update program which can be used for maintaining systems using rpm command is one of: * install package1 [package2] [...] * update [package1] [package2] [...] * upgrade * remove [package1] [package2] [...] * groupinstall group1 [group2] [...] * groupupdate group1 [group2] [...] * list [...] * grouplist [...] * clean [packages | headers | old-headers | all] Unless the --help or -h option is given, one of the above commands must be present. ... There is a fairly active yum development list with quite a few participants, and the primary developer (Seth Vidal) is extremely open to new suggestions and always happy to have new contributers and participants. Features of yum that are appealing: Full automated dependency resolution, to the extent possible (yes, one can easily get into dependency loops with rpms that require humans to curse and untangle by hand, but yum will deal smoothly with all unbroken dependencies and at least help with some of the broken ones). The yum tools split the headers out of the repository RPMs. yum itself then downloads and caches the headers (only) from your repository ONCE. This makes dependency resolution pretty much as fast as it can be. When it starts up, it checks all header files to ensure that it has the latest copies (a few seconds), downloads any it is missing (a few seconds more) and then resolves dependencies and so forth for an update or install. It can install from multiple repositories automatically. It supports package groups (!) (the same ones that anaconda uses). It has list options to let you know what is installed and what is available on your repository. Other options and features are being discussed and added in the development version. The production version is quite stable and unbroken. There are two or three aspects of yum that make it truly lovely. Once configured, to install or update most packages you just enter (e.g.) yum update pvm at a command line. To maintain a system completely synchronized with your repository, just yum update in a nightly cron. To do a RUNNING UPGRADE from (e.g.) 7.1 to 7.3, one can actually enter yum upgrade (followed when it is finished with a reboot) and have a decent chance of it actually succeeding! You are also extremely unlikely to break anything if it doesn't. Note that the ability to upgrade a running system is VERY slick. Note also that if your system is in an inconsistent state of dependencies OR has packages installed that are obsoleted (not in the new repository) OR is changing from e.g. lilo to grub, you may have to do a certain amount of preparatory work to get the upgrade feature to work, but yum will not proceed with an inconsistent upgrade -- it reports any problems it encounters and waits for you to fix them and proceeds only when it is safe to do so. At this point I've done a number of running upgrades from 7.1 and 7.2 to 7.3 -- very lovely. Note that new rpm's do vary in how they handle upgrades -- some will generate e.g. a file like /etc/whatever.rpmnew and leave /etc/whatever alone; others will install /etc/whatever and save /etc/whatever.rpmsave -- so one CAN have a tiny bit of work to do by hand to recover a configuration, but in nearly all cases (and definitely all the really important ones) your installed configuration data is perfectly preserved. Another thing that will likely be a future possibility (it really is possible now, but hasn't been implemented) is a two-step kickstart or network install: Run kickstart (or do a hand install) to install a base system with the bare minimum of support for yum to run; complete the installation with yum groupupdates and yum updates. Anyone who has dealt with installing over a slow/erratic network (e.g. DSL link, modem link, busy network) has probably done an install that got (say) 5/6 of the way through and then died. Grrr. Have to start over. On a DSL link, that can be another 2-5 hours of waiting and eating most of the line bandwidth. With a two-step install, the basic system takes only a few minutes, and yum is RESTARTABLE! You can just repeat running the update script (run out of a post.sh) until it finishes, and will do no work over that it doesn't need to. Another trick I use at home (DSL bottlenecked to the primary repository) to good effect is to put the yum rpm and header cache into a shared NFS directory and mount it across all the hosts I am maintaining on my home network. If one doesn't deliberately clean up the rpm cache (with a yum option) yum simply updates those rpms and headers that might have changed ONCE over the slow link, and then does the update on all the other hosts in the LAN out of the now up-to-date cache! Sure, I could also do this by rsync'ing a local repository to the main repository, but the NFS trick is actually simpler and automagically downloads and keeps sync'd only the rpm's I use on at least one host. Much more efficient. Finally, IIRC there is somebody making noises about fronting yum with a simple GUI. I don't know if this would really be all that advantageous for experienced administrators, but, it might help novices get started and will certainly make it very easy for user/administrators with single systems to shop for packages from their local yum repository. On campus, it looks like this toolset will let EVERY SYSTEM ON CAMPUS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE be kept sync'd to a common repository. One human being can (and in fact, is at this time) de facto manage software for several thousand hosts in an environment distributed across departments, schools, dormitories, laboratories.. Nodes, desktops, departmental systems, private/student systems, clients, servers -- all maintained automatically from one repository. When most security problems are discovered and patched, the entire campus is immune to the exploit after the nightly yum update, including the systems of users who will NEVER know that the problem even existed or how to check for the exploit if they did. So anyway, it would be lovely to have more people contributing to this toolset, especially good python programmers who are already familiar how all this works. BTW (apropos the Winblows cluster discussion that I largely missed while on vacation:-) it is tools like yum that clearly show the TCO advantages of linux relative to WinXX for ANY sort of LAN or cluster or even single installation. With linux, one can now: a) Install, for free and in real-time, directly over the network, from many public sites. It is also absolutely trivial (well, to a competent systems administrator:-) to set up a mirror (or a mirror with modifications and local additions) to act as an installation server. With yum, one can even install from one (e.g. public) repository while grabbing certain packages from several other (e.g. private) repositories. b) Keep your system(s) slaved to your installation repositories, automatically updating as often as you wish, keeping your entire installed software base as secure as it is possible to be even if some of it is managed by amateurs. c) Approach the theoretical limits of administrative scaling efficiency. One administrator can (and does, at Duke) take care of the base linux software installation(s) for the entire campus, thousands of machines. The primary factors that limit the number of systems our linux folks can manage (on desks, in clusters, or both at the same time) are (in order of impact): * hardware reliability (fixing downed hardware) * user support (answering silly or otherwise questions, unsticking the stuck) * server management (inevitably, for any OS -- managing mail, accounts, shared filespace, security) * competence of the administrators (which could always be the first one in terms of impact for a very incompetent manager:-). * software management. Note well that in a Windows environment, one will likely spend more time on managing LICENSING ISSUES ALONE than one does managing software, per system, in any comparable linux shop. If there were any point, I could go on systematically brutalizing WinXX (including NT, 2k or XP) in any TCO comparison with linux, but there isn't any. Anybody who asserts that HPC people are ignorant of TCO issues on the >>beowulf<< list (recalling that beowulfs were INVENTED to lower the total cost of ownership and operation of parallel HPC resources) is clearly so clueless that there is no point. rgb Robert G.

Here's some killer statistics from the Facebook page which I curate which fits both the 'shock and awe' and 'frickin' useful' categories:
Between August 2011 and January 2012 friends of the page left 348 posts.
– 60% of these were related to making an application, or a question about our degrees
– 30% of them were practical questions about studying at Malmö
– 10% were links to events, jobs or other content
Simple take home? 90% of the posts we received in that 6 month period were about applying, splendid!
These data tell me that our page is totally supporting the current goals we have for Facebook – our strategy is to specifically focus on using Facebook for customer service and encourage prospective students to contact us via the wall.
How did we get these data? The hard way – my awesome colleague @idarosqvist went through our page with a pen and paper categorising the posts we had received. Definitely not the world's most glamorous task but it results in some simple, easy to understand numbers which gives both insight (we're on target with our strategy) and a set of data which allays the fears of those who worry that our page's wall is full of random nonsense.
If you've got a billion friends, and a wall to match, then this probably is not for you; but if you've got a 'regular' page then taking a foray into your wall, armed with pen and paper, may give you some great insights and some awesome data to report.
(We didn't look at comments, that would have taken too much time. The sentiment of the posts was largely positive or neutral, as tends to be the case with comments as well).

William married Celia Temperance Bliss November 4, 1845 in a double wedding with her brother Seneca Bliss. The Chicago Democrat ran the following announcement:
Sadly, only the two girls survived to adulthood. Celia Bliss Butler died in November 1865. And this is where the story gets hairy. On the 1870 census, William is listed without a wife and with five children. But remember, supposedly, only two of his children with Celia would have been alive in 1870. So who is the mother of the other three children?
|William Butler's 1870 census from Chicago, Illinois.
William M. Butler, Sr., had some legal trouble with the children from his first marriage, which I have discussed in a previous entry. The long and the short is that he had to pay money to Willamena and Celia for misappropriating their inheritance. He was in the hardware business until the Great Fire in 1871. Soon thereafter William moved his family to Hobart, Indiana, just across the state line from Chicago.
William is listed as a farmer in 1880, but I have found no land records for him. I have no information on William between 1880 and his death. Even in death he is a conundrum. He has two headstones. The first is in the Hobart Cemetery in Hobart, Indiana.

Luminaires for Metal Fireproof Ceilings
In general, protective boxes are necessary for the installation of luminaires and downlights to maintain the fire protection class. Lindner offers especially developed flat luminaires resp. integrated luminaires to be able to do without additional protective boxes and to reduce the effort of installation and planning.
Consequently, an universal concept for the realisation of ceiling and illumination is available for architectural and planning aspects.
T38/20 - Flat specular Louvre Luminaire
T38/17 - Flat opal Line T5
T38/17LED - Flat opal Line LED
Factory-provided recessed luminaire, flush integrated in F30 or F90 metal ceiling elements. The luminaire has a total height of 38mm thanks to the flat and compact construction. The luminaire is very maintenance-friendly and economic due to the high energy efficiency/saving and long durability of the LEDs.
T38/7.1L - Flat opal T5
The flat luminaire for the installation in standard ceilings as well as F90/F90 metal ceiling elements requires no additional protective box. Perfect light quality due to the wide-beam specular louvre made of highly reflective Miro material. Moreover, the luminaire is visually attractive thanks to the opal acrylic glass cover (PMMA).

Arsenal end trophy drought with FA Cup win
Arsenal ended its nine-year trophy drought on Saturday, coming from two goals...
Glendale, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) – Nathan Horton will make his long-awaited
Blue Jackets debut when Columbus takes on Phoenix later Thursday.
The Jackets made the biggest splash in the early stages of free agency back
in July, agreeing to terms with unrestricted free-agent Horton on a seven-year
Shortly after the signing, Horton had to undergo surgery his left shoulder,
which was injured during the Boston Bruins' unsuccessful Stanley Cup bid, a
procedure whose recovery time was 4-to-6 months.
Horton, who spent the last three seasons with the Bruins, posted 13 goals and
22 points in 43 regular-season games, then contributed 19 points (7G, 12A) in
22 playoff appearances this past season.
The 28-year-old Ontario native has collected 198 goals and 402 points in
591 games along with a plus-57 rating with the Panthers and Bruins.

Towards a Representative Network of Mediterranean Marine Managed Areas
The Mediterranean Sea possesses important biodiversity and unique biological values with a high level of endemism of marine fauna and flora. As a consequence of this necessity of marine habitat protection to promote sustainable marine resource use and marine biodiversity conservation, a number of international efforts and nations have committed themselves to the creation of networks of marine conservation zones.
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the World Summit on Sustainable Development – have established measurable targets for terrestrial and marine protected area coverage, to be achieved by 2010 and 2012 respectively: "By 2010, terrestrially and 2012 in the marine area, a global network of comprehensive, representative and effectively managed national and regional protected area system is established"' (Decision VII/28, CBD 2004).
Main objective
NEREUS is a development of the inception project named Med-RAS project , funded by MAVA and Total Foundations in 2009 and 2010. Its main objective is "to gather, produce, synthesize and communicate information on the marine environment (species, features, resources and threats) and to identify conservation priorities sites in the Mediterranean Sea".
The ultimate aim will be the identification and then the designation and networking of representative sites at the national, sub-regional and regional levels as a support to the protection of the Mediterranean.
Nereus, one of the gods of the Greek mythology, is described as a wise seaman ruling the Mediterranean or the god of the Mediterranean sea and its richness. He is the father, with his wife Doris, of fifty daughters named the Nereids.
Specific objectives
- To identify national and regional expertise concerning the marine environment, its conservation and management for the identification of a representative and coherent network of marine managed areas;
- To identify the most coherent and representative network of marine managed areas based on the existing knowledge;
- To assist in the preparation and adoption of a strategic document for marine conservation and of site proposal for conservation for the national institutions and/or international organisations, identifying gaps and hindrances
- To set an annual regional meeting of partners in one of the countries participating to the project or during an existing event of a convention, agreement or initiative for review of activities, links between different initiatives from the high sea to the land and planning for the future year.
The geographical coverage of the project considers the following areas and countries as first priority:
- North Africa: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt
- Eastern Mediterranean: Lebanon and Turkey
And as second priority, due to existing support programmes from the European Union and of some of the partners, countries for which funds could be allocated for during the project along the Eastern Adriatic coast for the following countries: Slovenia Croatia, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Montenegro & Albania.
Partners & donor
IUCN-Med is coordinating the project with the collaboration of ACCOBAMS, MedWET, RAC/SPA, MedPAN and the Lebanese Ministry of Environment. The national partners will be identified in each country, including all potential stakeholders involved in the marine and coastal activities, such as the national administrations and institutions, the universities and research centres, the experts, the NGOs or other representatives of the civil society.
NEREUS is co-funded by MAVA Foundation.
Duration : 2 years. January 2011 - December 2012.
Extension : 1 year. Juanuary 2012 - December 2013.
For more information on the project, please contact [email protected]
IUCN-Med receives core financial support from the Ministry of Environment of the Junta de Andalucia, the Ministry of Environment and Rural and Marine Affairs and the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID).

Description composed by world renowned Asian expert & appraiser, Mr. Anthony Lee. His bio is below.
China, late 1400's to early 1500's. Ming Blue White Porcelain Peacock Bowl/Dish Peony Rockery Plate. Heavily potted with rounded sides and uneverted rim, the exterior with lotus and tendril with vines in a continuous pattern around the dish, the cavetto with a wide Ming style roundel of a peacock on a rockery with large peony blooms surrounding, and bordered in a simple bowstring line. Kiln adhesion, some minor chipping to the foot. Some glaze creep. Most examples of this plate tend to have dense borders in the cavetto as Export items for the Southeast Asian and Ottoman market, but this restrained example with the white bordered interior suggests it was possibly made for the Chinese domestic market. It measures approx. 8" across.

YOU CAN offer WITH CONFIDENCE!!
Please note: We put up a very ecclectic collection of items and are not experts in every area,
so descriptions are our best guess as to what something is. While we try to research each item to the
best of our ability, it is the buyer's responsibility to know what they are buying.
is ALL we do for a living, husband and wife (Norb & Marie) working together, while we home school our kids on our farmette in Rural Delmarva. We have worked very hard to build our little business and it is very important to us. We try and do business the old fashioned way and have a rather simple outlook.
Treat all of your customers as if they are family.
Be courteous, answer emails, be fair in all your deallings and try and make friends of each and every customer.
BUT... with 's new star rating and the rate increases in the U.S. Postal rates we needed to define and explain our methods of business.
ONE - Who We Deal With
We sell and ship world wide to anywhere, so please email us for a quote to wherever you happen to be.
TWO - Shipping Charges
We charge shipping based on the USPS system, we will sometimes ship via courier if we can get it to you within the same time frame or faster. We add a reasonable cost for materials, normally that is $2.00 for regular sized packages. For small flat items $1.00. That covers the expense of boxes, envelopes, bubble wrap, peanuts, (We only use new packing materials, life is too short to scrounge through dumpsters). For larger items that take a larger more expensive box, we charge a little more, to cover the special box, example paintings or lamps. For oversized items or items that will take special attention to package, (Build a crate, wrap a zillion things individually, etc.), we ask you to email us for a quote on shipping prior to the sale ending. If you do not, we charge the same amount as if you did. In other words WE NEVER GOUGE OUR CLIENTS SHIPPING COSTS!!
THREE - International Shipping
We charge shipping based on the USPS international system. The rates follow the same guidelines as number two above, though for international customers we add an additional $1.00 to cover the extra paperwork involved in international shipping. If an amount goes over $50 in value we will only ship it with Priority or Express Mail, regardless how small an item. That allows for us to have international tracking. There is no tracking available on First Class Mail.
FOUR - Insurance
's policies no longer allows us to charge the client for insurance. But... we still apply insurance to any item that goes over $27.00 in value. We reserve the right to use the insurance carrier of our choice. Sometimes that is Postal or the Carrier's Insurance and sometimes that is a private insurance company such as DSI or U-PIC/Shipsurance. If we use a private insurance company the package will not be marked insured, but it will be.
FIVE - Methods of Payment Accepted
We aoffere by 's rules and try and stay abreast of their changes. We accept Paypal. Paypal also accepts the major credit cards, or we also take Credit Cards Directly over the phone, (MC, VISA, DISCOVER, AMERICAN EXPRESS, CARTE BLANCHE, DINERS CLUB, JCB) Bottom line, whatever method is most convenient for you.
SIX - Time Frame To Pay
We ask all sales to be paid for in the fastest possible time frame. (This is all we do for a living and we need the money to pay the bills and buy more unique and fun items to put up on )
SEVEN - Shipping Time Frame
We make every effort to ship in a timely manner. We are home schooling the boys, listing tons of items, and as like any of us are just plain swamped, so we have to schedule a special time to pack and ship. We ship on a first paid, first shipped basis. (We do not ship any item until it has been paid and the funds have cleared.) With the ebb and flow of payments we manage to get everything out of the door within one week. If there is a rush, we will make every effort to work with you in getting it out of the door faster. As you can see from our response, we do not disappoint. OF COURSE, items that need special attention, crating, etc adds to the time frame of those items.
EIGHT - Local Pickup
Sometimes it makes sense to come by and pickup your items. Sometimes an item is just too big for any other option. If you've arranged local pickup with us, you must pickup the item within 30 days otherwise it will be subject to storage fees or relisting.
Finally, NINE - Communication
Please feel free to contact us at anytime, with any question or comment. Unless we are out of town we make an effort to answer all emails as quickly as possible.

BEASAIN, Spain (Reuters) - Colombia's Nairo Quintana fended off overwhelming favorite Richie Porte of Australia to take a surprise overall win in the Tour of the Basque Country on Saturday.
The 23-year-old Movistar rider finished second in the final, hilly individual 24-kilometre time trial at Beasain, 17 seconds down on world champion Tony Martin which was enough for Quintana to claim the biggest win of his career.
Paris-Nice winner Porte, victorious on Friday's mountain stage, was a below-expectations fourth in the time trial, 40 seconds behind German Martin, and had to settle for second overall, 23 seconds adrift of Quintana in the final standings.
Porte's Sky team mate and former race leader Sergio Luis Henao of Colombia dropped to third at 34 seconds.
"I've been looking for a big win like this since Paris-Nice," Quintana told reporters. "I don't know if you can call this (victory) a surprise.
"This time trial definitely suited me, with so many hilly sections, and I've been gambling on a good performance here all week.
When a time trial is not flat, then I can be up there with the big names in races like this one."
Having beaten Sky's two favorites, while Spain's top contender Alberto Contador faded badly to finish 10th in the time trial, Quintana said he had bigger goals.
"I've got to go on learning, but my idea is to fight for a Grand Tour in the future."
In 2010, Quintana took the Tour de L'Avenir, cycling's top stage race for young riders and was snapped up by leading Spanish squad Movistar in 2012.
Last year, he inflicted a rare defeat on the all-powerful Sky in the hardest Alpine stage of the Criterium du Dauphine, the key warm-up race for the Tour de France.
Victorious in a mountain stage of the Tour of Catalonia two weeks ago, Quintana moved into second overall in the Basque Country race with a win on the Arrate summit on Thursday.
Martin repeated his 2011 victory in the Basque Country's final stage on a rain-soaked, technical course, but said he had come looking for a bigger prize.
"The week was not perfect for me, I crashed on the first stage and I'd wanted to go for the overall victory," the Omega Pharma-Quick Step rider told reporters.
"It was a dangerous time trial, with the bad weather and a lot of corners, so I really hope that in the Basque Country in the future there will be a better one."

text: 1st and 2nd Grade Parent Body Safety Information Night (1/16 at Gombert) Reported by email@example.com on 12/20/18 December 20, 2018 Dear Parents of 1st and 2nd Grade Students, In response to concerns regarding child safety and vulnerability to sexual abuse, the State of Illinois requires schools to provide instruction in personal safety and awareness of safe/unsafe situations. This law is known as Erin's law.

text: The occasional "snapping" that can be heard when walking or swinging one's leg around results from the movement of a muscle or tendon (the tough, fibrous tissue that connects muscle to bone) over a bony structure. In the hip, the most common site is at the outer side where a band of connective tissue (the iliotibial band) passes over the broad, flat portion of the thighbone known as the greater trochanter (tro-KAN-ter). The snapping can also occur from the back-and-forth motion that takes place when the tendon, running from the inside of the thighbone up through the pelvis, shifts across the head of the thighbone. A tear in the cartilage or some bone debris in the hip joint can also cause a snapping or clicking sensation.

Two electricity generators at a Huntington Beach power plant have been sold to allow another project to rise.
AES Huntington Beach LLC, part of a company that generates electricity in 28 countries, sold two of its four power units to Santa Ana-based Edison Mission Energy, a Southern California Edison affiliate, said AES Southland President Eric Pendergraft.
The sale is part of an agreement that keeps emissions within the South Coast Air Quality Management District's limits in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, Pendergraft said.
"Before they can get authority to operate, they have to provide these emission offsets in order to keep the environment whole," he said. "By us agreeing to shut down our facility, that is enabling this new facility to go into operation."
Edison Mission will construct a new electricity-generating facility, Walnut Creek Energy LLC, in the City of Industry. The project, a 500-megawatt advanced technology plant, is expected to create 400 construction jobs, said Edison Mission spokesman Doug McFarlan. The $500-million project has a 10-year contract to sell electricity to Southern California Edison for distribution, he said.
Although the sale was completed in May, the two units are not expected to shut down for two years while Walnut Creek is under construction. AES is leasing back the units and operating them as usual, burning natural gas and generating electricity that is sold and distributed to Southern California Edison customers, Pendergraft said.
AES Southland has 14 units in Huntington Beach, Redondo Beach and Long Beach, Pendergraft said.
"AES has units along the coast there that would either require significant additional investment in future years or [retirement]," McFarlan said. "This [transaction] turned out to be a good fit for both sides."
Neither Pendergraft nor McFarlan would disclose how much the two units cost.
"As we evaluated the transaction, we had to balance what they're paying us against what we expect to earn, and from our perspective, it was a good decision to move forward," Pendergraft said.
AES plans to replace the two units with others that have newer and more efficient technology, Pendergraft said. It's not clear yet how many units will replace the two that were sold, but this type of project would take between five and seven years to complete, he said.
"They will be more efficient, which translates to fewer emissions, more flexible and better suited to integrate renewable forms of energy, like solar and wind," Pendergraft said.
When the time comes, AES will have to do what Edison Mission is doing — buy units from another company or retire some of its existing ones to keep the emissions within acceptable levels.
"We're faced with the same constraints," he said.

Some of the class A's have real belts and anchors in the dinette
And were from Hampshire by the way perhaps only marginally more sunny than south Wales
Looking forward to reading the info you've been able to gather. Understand not wanting to change the plan and stick with a class C.I always joked that it rains 366 days a year in Wales, then I met my new neighbor, a Dutchman; He said it rains 9 days a week in Holland, and I quit complaining (or bragging)
https://www.elmonterv.com/rent/rv-details/cabover-style-c25-rv/Shows the seats in dinette with lap style belts. Looks like the cushions will come off but the dinette itself looks fixed. May be others on forum with similar style of rv who can advise.Good luck.

barch needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 197 designs submitted by 42 freelance designers.
Phillips/Sekanick Architects, inc, architecture/planning/consulting http://www.phillips-sekanick.com
We are a small mid-west architectural firm, established in 1916, that is currently expanding to provide services throughout the eastern half of the United States. We have registered architects in 18 states and are looking to provide a fresh image (a new website is currently in design) that states that we are an established and experienced firm, but that we are also progressive concerned with the aesthetic. Because the firm name has the name of the directors, we have been using the initials recently in all publications (psainc) because it reads easier and is not as hard to identify. For legal reasons, we need to have the firm name included with the logo.
We are generally targeting new design clients, contractors and developers who are interested in working with an experienced design firm that comes off as progressive but professional. About 60% of our design work is in the restaurant field from Ohio to Florida. We want people who look at our logo and information to feel that it is professional, that we can be trusted, while at the same time, saying we are creative. The people we work with are construction or leasing managers from development companies, restaurant owners, or restaurant franchisees.
One of our concerns on any change in the logo is that because we are established, the logo should have some relationship with what we currently have, although we are open to fresh ideas. Our currently logo is generally black and white with yellow, although we are not tied to that color scheme. The logo needs to set us apart so our presentations are looked at to allow us to sell ourselves. The psa inc. should be part of the logo, and the Phillips/Sekanick Architects, inc and the architecture/planning/consulting, can be incorporated outside of the logo itself. Credibility, professionalism, and creativity needs to be part of the defining characteristics. This logo should also be easy to place on stationary, business cards, etc without looking too busy.

A d v e r t i s e m e n t
As promised, let's pay our respects to the kickers and
defense/special teams units that help us decide our fantasy fates
each and every season…once again, these are 15-game projections.
Let's revisit the color-coding system before we start:
Red – A very difficult matchup.
For lower-level players, a red matchup means they should not be
used in fantasy that week. For a second- or third-tier player,
drop your expectations for them at least one grade that week (i.e.
from WR2 to WR3). For elite players, expect them to perform one
level lower than their usual status (i.e. RB1 performs like a
Yellow – Keep expectations
fairly low in this matchup. For lower-level players, a yellow
matchup is a borderline start at best. For a second- or third-tier
player, they can probably overcome the matchup if things fall
right. For the elite players, expect slightly better than average
White – Basically, this matchup
is one that could go either way. In some cases, I just don't
feel like I have a good feel yet for this defense. Generally speaking,
these matchups are winnable matchups for all levels of players.
Green – It doesn't
get much better than this. For non-elite players, the stage is
basically set for said player to exploit the matchup. For the
elite player, this matchup should produce special numbers..
Instead of waiting until the end of the preseason to search for
the next Victor Cruz (like
I did here last season), I'm going to provide a list
of under-the-radar players who impressed me in the previous week
of preseason action). Since I don't make it a habit to watch
all 16 exhibition games in the final week of the preseason, I
will start with Week 1's "standouts" this week
and continue on over the next two weeks. The main difference between
what I did last year and what I will do this year, however, is
simply identify players who I believe made their case to move
up the depth chart. And this isn't so much about who performed
well in the box score, but more about skill-position players who
did their job well. If nothing else, don't hesitate to queue
these players on your dynasty watch list (in no particular order):
Week 1: Armanti Edwards, WR Carolina;
Brice Butler, WR Oakland; Jaron Brown, WR Arizona; C.J. Anderson,
RB Denver (out 4-6 weeks); Rex Burkhead, RB Cincinnati; Jermaine
Kearse, WR Seattle; Travaris Cadet, RB New Orleans, Ace Sanders,
WR Jacksonville; Marquess Wilson, WR Chicago; Michael Cox, RB
NY Giants
Next: PPR
Big Board
