8 Ways to de-craze, unwind and refocus on your business
Ever snap at a customer who grates on your nerves? Hastily throw together a marketing proposal only to later realize you misspelled your prospect's last name? Are you so overwhelmed by deadline pressure, market competition and bills that you're wondering why you went into business for yourself in the first place?
If you're like most busy entrepreneurs, the good news is: You're not going crazy. The bad news is: You're stressed. High blood pressure, insomnia, frequent headaches, foggy thinking, lack of energy--they're all signs that your body and mind are working overtime. While it's not possible to work in a stress-free world, there are ways you can manage stress. The process begins with knowing where to look for the causes of stress in your life.
"Stress is an inside job," says Lorraine Colletti-Lafferty, chief operating officer of clinical services at Human Synergistics International, a management-consulting firm in Plymouth, Michigan. "Feeling anxious and out of control isn't caused by what's happening to us, but rather by how we relate to our circumstances." A business associate, she explains, might thrive on deadline pressure and do his best work under such circumstances. "You, however, might feel stymied and tell yourself, `I can't work this way.' So, recognize that stress isn't an outside force; it's what we do to ourselves in response to a situation."
Fortunately, stress isn't all bad. Ever get an adrenaline rush when you've signed a big contract or aced out the competition to hire a dynamic new employee? You're experiencing positive stress. "When you are really doing something meaningful, your capacity to replenish yourself is high," says Doug Kruschke, owner of InSynergy, a Marina del Rey, California, management-consulting firm. But when your work depletes your energy and makes you miserable, it's time to pause. "Take inventory of what's driving you crazy, and learn how to keep yourself on an even keel," Kruschke suggests. Here are eight stress-reducing tips to get you started:
1. Practice positive self talk. When you talk to yourself, do you say: "How could I be so stupid?" or "I'll never be asked to join that business group. I don't have what it takes"? Negative self-talk like this feeds your insecurities and raises your stress level. Instead, change your mental dialogue and practice positive self-talk. Tell yourself: "I'm doing a great job," "I can meet this deadline," and "I'll be asked to join that club because I'm an asset to its membership." Such statements, Colletti-Lafferty says, give us encouragement and affirm our value as human beings.
2. Get organized. If you don't make lists of all the things you need to accomplish, you're bound to feel overwhelmed, says Edith Weiner, president of Weiner, Edrich, Brown Inc., a New York City-based trend-analysis consulting firm, and co-author of Office Biology (see sidebar for ordering information), a book about workplace productivity and health. Stress builds, she explains, when "we keep reviewing what we have to do without doing it. Once you write it down, you can dump it from your mind."
It's good practice, therefore, to make a daily or weekly list of tasks you want or need to achieve. Rank them in order of importance, and tackle one task at a time. Be sure you accurately estimate how much time a task will take. For example, if you allot an hour each week to review the books with your accountant, but your meetings end up taking the entire afternoon, you need to block out more time. Otherwise, you'll constantly feel frustrated and behind schedule. Remember, what you don't finish today can be put at the top of tomorrow's to-do list, or can be delegated to an employee.
3. Learn to delegate. As an entrepreneur, you're by nature a self-starter and want to manage and control your business. But that doesn't mean you have to do it all alone. Learn to delegate tasks to your employees or hire independent contractors as needed, so you can focus your attention on projects demanding your special talents.
4. Exercise daily. Your body reacts to stress in different ways, from full-blown panic attacks and muscle tension to stomach problems and headaches. The best remedy is vigorous aerobic exercise, such as running, racquetball, tennis or a workout at the gym. By raising your heart rate and taking full, deep breaths while you exercise, you'll feel more energetic and less stressed. If you can't get to the gym, take frequent breaks at work. Ten-minute stretching routines or quick walks around the block will have you feeling like new.
5. Watch what you eat and drink. Cut down on the caffeine and sweets; too much coffee and cola will fray your nerves. Never skip lunch; you need to fuel your body and mind during your work day.
6. Find a diversion. All work and no play will cause any entrepreneur to eventually lose his cool. "Find ways to replenish your reserves," Kruschke suggests. Some entrepreneurs need a frenzy of activity: a busy travel schedule, or regular, competitive games of tennis or racquetball. Others seek more quiet time: working in the garden, reading mystery novels, or trying their hand at gourmet cooking.
"Reconnect with people who are important to you and with things that give you a broader perspective on life," Kruschke says. "Nature will do that. Take a walk on the beach or in the forest." He also suggests becoming involved in volunteer work that's nonbusiness-related. Volunteer activities can take your mind off your own stress and give you a quick sense of accomplishment.
7. Create a pleasant environment. Where and how you work most definitely affect your attitude and stress level. Attractive pictures on the walls, a potted plant on your desk, soft background music, and proper lighting are all conducive to a pleasant and productive work environment. Keeping a neat and clean office will help reduce your stress level, too. It not only lets you quickly find what you need, but also gives you an important feeling of being in control of your work area.
8. Lighten up. As the timeless proverb goes, "Laughter is the best medicine." There's no better way to calm your nerves and put a lightness in your step than to laugh. Go tell your employees a good joke, watch an "Andy Griffith" or "Saturday Night Live" rerun, or read the comics. They're all great ways to let the stress melt away.
Sales & Marketing
Gold In Cold Calls
Who likes to make cold calls? Nobody. And yet cold calls are crucial to your business. If you're having trouble corralling new clients and dislike making cold calls, it may be time to rethink your telephone strategy. Believe it or not, cold-calling can be fun if you play it like a game. Here are some tips to take the drudgery out of cold-calling:
- Be prepared. Know what you want to say before you get on the phone, write it down, and keep it handy. This could consist of a short description of your company and its products or services. You should be able to describe your business in such a way that people become interested and want to know more.
- Have a goal in mind. The goal may be to get an in-person meeting, to make a sale, or just to learn more about your prospect for future reference. Never let the prospect off the phone without knowing your next move.
- Treat your prospect the way you like to be treated. Even if your telephone meeting was prearranged, ask your prospect if this is a good time to talk. If not, reschedule. There's no point making your pitch if you don't have their full attention.
- Engage your prospect by asking questions first. This information is essential in knowing how to tailor your discussion to meet your prospect's needs. Questions engage your listener in conversation and should be worded in such a way to encourage a dialogue. Keep answers to objections readily available. Be prepared to use them with each call.
- Be polite to secretaries. They can be your ally. "Remember that your prospect's secretary is doing the same thing as your secretary--guarding the boss," says Diane M. Wildowsky, president of Cold Call Enterprises in New York City, which provides training in cold-calling. Ask for the secretary's name and write it down. Use it the next time you call and you'll see how much warmer he or she is to you.
- Turn voice mail into an ally. The truth is, voice mail can actually be a wonderful selling tool. Rather than relying on a secretary who might not get your message straight, you can leave your prospect with your pitch--in your own words and at your own tone.
- Use the "you" factor. Draw your listener in by inserting "you" into your dialogue. For prospects to listen to what you have to say, they have to see a benefit. They need to know what's in it for them. --Bruce W. Fraser
Money Matters
Suite Savings
Have you ever wanted to invite a client to a meeting in your office, but couldn't because your office was the spare bedroom in your house? How do you project a corporate image while staying within a small-business budget?
Many office buildings set aside a portion of their floor space for executive suites. Businesspeople can rent the office space they need, whether it's one suite or several. Prices vary, depending on which part of the country you're in. In fact, prices can even vary within the same city.
For instance, a 60-square-foot suite without a window in one part of Baltimore runs around $400 a month, while a 300-square-foot, double office, corner unit with a large window overlooking Baltimore's Inner Harbor can run about $2,500 a month.
Suites can usually be rented on an hourly, weekly, monthly or annual basis. Instead of buying or leasing equipment, businesspeople can use the suites' office furniture, computers, telephones, fax machines, and audio-visual equipment. Rather than paying and managing a full-time office staff or maintaining a reception area and conference room that sit unused much of the time, businesspeople can simply pay for the suites' clerical support and extra office space as they use it.
Jeannine Windbigler is the executive director of the 500-plus-member Executive Suite Association in Worthington, Ohio. Her association receives between 70 and 80 calls a month from businesspeople wanting to know where to find executive suites in their area.
"Executive suites allow a small-business owner to have a person answer their phones, have access to a conference room, have use of secretarial services, and more--all on a small budget," says Windbigler.
Computer networking consultant Larry Tedrow, an ExecuCenter executive-suite tenant in Columbia, Maryland, says, "We didn't want to sink a lot of money into hardware and personnel, but we still needed to project a professional aura. We looked at about five different places with different offerings and decided an executive suite was just what we needed."
Avoiding isolation is another reason for the success of executive suites. Tenants can network by interacting with other tenants. Ann Esposito, general manager of three ExecuCenter executive suites in Maryland, says, "Beyond the nuts-and-bolts work, the manager tries to create a social environment where the tenants feel comfortable and can interact." Much of this interaction takes place in the community lunchroom. At ExecuCenter, regular breakfasts are sponsored by the company to encourage networking.
And, finally, if you're comfortable in your home-office space but could use an administrative hand now and again, you'll find it refreshing to know that you don't even have to rent an office space to take advantage of many executive suites' services. Often, businesses can use the secretarial support, conference rooms, and mailing address on an "as needed" basis. --James Rada Jr.

1966 Chevrolet Suburban From ACCEL Performance Group At The 2013 SEMA Show
ACCEL Performance Group/ Mr. Gasket Unveiling
As most of you out there probably already know, the 2013 SEMA Show kicked off today and there were some really exciting things to take a gander at. We stopped by ACCEL Performance Group's booth to witness an unveiling that we were told would catch our eye. They were absolutely right. When the tarp was removed from the vehicle, we saw a beatiful 1966 Chevrolet Suburban. There were lots of, "wows" and "oh my's" as everyone started clapping for this amazing project.
To start, this truck's paint was incredible. It was a custom mixed green which they called, "Mr. Gasket Green." and was done by Charley Hutton. The look of the truck was something that looked cool to cruise around the coast with so the subtleties of the truck reflected that sort of lifestyle. This truck screamed custom from its shaved door handles, modified grille, smooth and tucked front bumper, to its custom interior that featured an aluminum center console.
Underneath the hood this truck had a GM ZZ454 crate motor which mods include: Performance CAM, roller rockers and ACCEL Thruster EFI. A 4L85 transmission gets the Billet Specialites wheels moving and everything sits on a FAST TRACK chassis built by Roadster shop.
Don't take our word for it though, take a look for yourself!

what is the meaning of baby bar i dont know i think that it might be a bar for babies only and i want to say thatbaby bar means a bar for babies where only babies are allowd and the came there only for babies in a male baby have a female baby for thier recreationthanks for listning my comment
I also am new to posting here, but have been quite disappointed with the negativity on these boards.
That said, Falconjimmy, Fortook, Cerealkiller, Roald, and a couple of others on this forum are very capable of holding intelligent conversations about issues without telling you to stfu just because they disagree.
How is it possible that you did so poorly on the essays, yet received a 77% on the MBE questions? Such circumstances are a complete distortion of how things work in these types of exams.
BTW, on the bar 65 is passing for the essays. Is that the same for the FYLSE? If so a 60 doesn't seem so bad, certainly capable of being remedied.

Alejandrino Honorato's journey began with a smuggler who led him across the Rio Grande, into the Texas desert with little food or water and finally to a field where he picked tobacco to pay his passage. Living illegally in a labor camp, he didn't know lawmakers in Washington were deciding his future.
It was 1986 and Congress was weighing an amnesty plan to legalize millions of undocumented workers. Unemployment was 7 percent. Some lawmakers warned the change would overwhelm the economy and strain hospitals and schools. "Are we going to cause havoc?" said Representative Bill McCollum, a Florida Republican, as the House prepared to vote.
The bill became law and Honorato came out of the shadows. Today, he owns two eateries and a market in central Florida and has about 60 employees. "I've helped a lot of people work," Honorato, 49, said through a translator. "If people were legalized they'd have a chance to open businesses like me."
More than a quarter century after Congress last rewrote the law, immigration is again a top Washington issue. President Barack Obama has made changing the law a priority in his second term. A group of senators including Democrat Charles Schumer of New York and Republican John McCain of Arizona are drafting legislation that will include a path to residency — and perhaps citizenship — for 11 million undocumented workers.
"It's time to fix a system that's been broken for way too long," Obama said in January. "We've got to bring our legal immigration system into the 21st century."
Hot-Button Word
With unemployment at 7.9 percent and more than 12 million Americans out of work, politicians are avoiding the hot-button word "amnesty." They also are armed with more than two decades of research showing that the 1986 law raised wages and boosted the economy. Economists at the free-market Cato Institute, the pro-labor Center for American Progress and the business and municipal Partnership for a New American Economy are in rare agreement that legalization makes economic sense.
Almost 3 million people were documented between 1987 and 1990 as a result of the Immigration Reform and Control Act. By 1992, more than four years after legalization, real hourly wages for those workers had risen an average of 15.1 percent, according to a Department of Labor survey. Wages overall continued to rise, according to a 2012 study by the Economic Policy Institute in Washington, even as the nation entered a recession that lasted from July 1990 to March 1991.
Barriers to upward economic mobility eased as the newly legalized found jobs that better matched their skills. They ventured deeper into society, pursuing educations and buying homes, said Raul Hinojosa-Ojeda, director of the North American Integration and Development Center at the University of California, Los Angeles.
'A Stakeholder Now'
"You have a chance to make it, you're a stakeholder now," Hinojosa-Ojeda said. "These people are employed already. It's not like you're bringing them in and dumping them onto the labor market."
A comprehensive immigration plan that includes a path to legalization could add $1.5 trillion to the economy over the next 10 years and increase tax revenues by $4.5 billion or more in three years, Hinojosa-Ojeda said.
Honorato made his way to Apopka, Florida, where he found work in a greenhouse, bought a home and raised a family. In 1998, he and his brother used their savings to buy a $15,000 tortilla maker and open their first restaurant.
Economy Gained
The American economy long has profited from an influx of foreign-born workers. Several studies, including a September 2010 report from Michael Greenstone, director of an immigration project at the Washington-based Brookings Institution and an economics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, conclude that immigrants occupy jobs in labor- intensive industries such as construction and agriculture, complementing more-skilled workers. On the other end of the spectrum, they meet demand for scientists and engineers, fueling innovation and entrepreneurship.
And there's a new economic imperative -- the demographic cliff, Hinojosa-Ojeda and others say. As a generation of baby boomers enters retirement and fewer young people start families, the growth of the labor force is slowing, putting a drag on the recovery, even as the 1986 law and others since have made legal immigration more difficult.
Economic forecasts are getting less optimistic as population growth decelerates, said Matt McDonald, an adviser to McCain's 2008 presidential campaign and a partner at Hamilton Place Strategies, a Washington-based consulting group. Citing research by the Congressional Budget Office, McDonald said the rate of work force growth is expected to drop to 0.5 percent in the next five years, to the slowest in decades, while gross domestic product increases also moderate.
Low-Skilled Hurt
Steven Camarota, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington research group that advocates for border controls, says that while legalizing immigrants will have little impact on the overall economy, it could hurt pockets of low-skilled workers.
"The impact of illegal immigration on GDP in the U.S. is so tiny it's almost not worth thinking about," he said. "But it could matter a whole lot to those workers who are affected." The 1986 act failed, he said, not because of amnesty but because of its weak enforcement provisions to control illegal immigration.
The labor force as a whole will benefit from the documentation of unauthorized workers by leveling the playing field for wages, said Heidi Shierholz, an economist with Economic Policy Institute. The challenge will be managing the future flow of immigrants, she said.
Costs Apparent
The costs of an undocumented workforce become apparent over time as the tax base erodes and the ability of government to enforce labor laws is weakened, according to a 2012 study by Pia Orrenius, a senior economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. A path to legalization could help solve those problems, she concluded.
"Legalization has economic benefits, most of which accrue to the people who adjust their status and their families," she wrote. "Tax revenues are likely to increase, an important consideration in an era of large deficits."
Amnesty allows people a larger stake in the economy, said Rodolfo Cardenas. He and his wife applied for legal status after the couple overstayed their student visas in 1987. They were living in Boulder, Colorado, with their small son, and his part- time job at a radio station didn't pay the bills. With help from their parents in Venezuela, they stayed and applied for amnesty.
"We thought, 'Let's give it a shot,'" Cardenas said. "There was no way we were going to stay here and live in the shadows."
After obtaining their documents, they found full-time jobs. Now 59, Cardenas hosts a Spanish-language radio talk show. And their son? He got amnesty too. In 2007, Rudy Cardenas, then 28, made an appearance on "American Idol."
"The 1986 law changed our lives," Cardenas said. "It's a story of success that only happens here in this country."

I am following the installation/setup instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XenProposed to install ubuntu + xen. I was able to install a PV guest OS. However, when I got to the HVM guest OS part, I keep getting the statement:
error: domain 'ubuntu-hvm' does not exist
This error shows when I execute the following command:
sudo xm create /etc/xen/ubuntu-hvm.cfg
ubuntu-hvm.cfg looks like the following:

I did some internet searches, and some site the
dhcp = 'dhcp' line in the configuration file as the problem (which I do not have). I've also seen some variations of the configuration file where they set:

which doesn't resolve the error message for me.

There's a difference between paranoid for no reason and paranoid because someone's standing behind you right now as you're reading this. Good thing for both types this Auto Detective Pen only costs $17.71. The pen scans your surroundings for unknown wireless signals, and when found, lights up automatically. Now for some Engrish by someone other than me:
The color light flash will be stronger and stronger when the detector is nearer to the suspicious transmit, then you can touch or hold the cap of a pen to reduce the sensitivity of the detector, until find the source of the signal
It apparently also scans money to see if it's counterfeit, but it's doubtful that you'll get an accurate read from a $17 toy.

Hunted Creatures – Room With A View
Download Hunted Creatures / Blown Doors Split
Ryan Emmett of Hunted Creatures and the Dynamo Sound Collective label gave me the heads up that the Blown Doors split on 905 from last year was kaput and they wanted to start spreading the good sounds to the rest of the world who missed out.
Hunted Creatures is no longer an Emmett solo project, he's quadrupled in size & awesomeness. I'm not certain, but I think this tape might be the first HC release that has them as a four piece now. Their three tracks are a wacky noisey spray that's way more textured & varied than Emmett's old droney ways. More instruments, more ambient destruction, darkly twisted, endlessly foreboding, waiting to tar your heart.
Blown Doors's side is one 28 minute piece of deep end bass blow outage, static explosions, hissing, piercing, pulsing devils. It's way dark, gritty as shit, consuming by way of collapsing, terror from a swampy Elm St. It bubbles & builds to a pure fucking carnage singularity. Definitely not to be missed. SO goddamn cool. And now, free.

Pre-pregnancy depressed mood may heighten risk for premature birth
Researchers trying to uncover why premature birth is a growing problem in the United States and one that disproportionately affects black women have found that pre-pregnancy depressive mood appears to be a risk factor in preterm birth among both blacks and whites.
Black women, however, have nearly two times the odds of having a preterm birth compared to white women, according to Amelia Gavin, a University of Washington assistant professor of social work and lead author of a new study that appears online in the June issue of the Journal of Women's Health.
"Preterm births are one of the most significant health disparities in the United States and the overall number of these births increased from 10.6 percent in 2000 to 12.8 percent in 2005," she said.
While there appears to be some sort of link between giving birth prematurely and depressed mood, the study found no cause and effect, said Gavin, who studies health disparities. She believes the higher preterm birth rate among blacks may be the result of declining health over time among black women.
For this study, premature birth referred to any child born after less than 37 weeks of gestation. Normal gestation ranges from 38 to 42 weeks. Data for the study was drawn from a larger longitudinal investigation looking at the risks for cardiovascular disease among more than 5,000 young adults in four metropolitan areas. The Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study also collected information about mental health and pregnancy outcomes. Between 1990 and 1996, 555 women in the larger study gave birth. These women were the subjects in the depression-premature birth study.
"At this point we can't say that pre-pregnancy depressive mood is a cause of preterm birth or how race affects this association," said Gavin. "But it seems to be a risk factor in giving birth prematurely and higher pre-pregnancy depressive mood among black women compared to white women may indirectly contribute to the greater odds of preterm birth found among black women."
In the study 18.1 percent of the black women had a preterm birth compared to 8.5 percent of the white women.
This difference may be the result of what she calls "weathering," or accelerated declines in health due to repeated socioeconomic and political factors.
"What some people experience by being black takes a toll on the physiological system, and over time wear and tear that occurs across neural, neuroendocrine and immune systems as a result of chronic exposure to stressors lead to health disparities for blacks. Some of this may manifest itself in premature birth and low-birth weight," Gavin said.
The study did not look at depressive mood or depression during pregnancy because the larger research project did not collect that data. She hopes to replicate and expand her findings by analyzing data from another study to look at depressive mood prior to pregnancy and childhood poverty to see if those two factors in part explain the black and white difference in preterm delivery. That study also will look at the role antidepressive medication plays in preterm birth.
"My ultimate goal is to incorporate a life course health development framework to examine disparities in birth outcomes," she said. "You have to look at the context of health across the life course of a woman, not just during pregnancy."
The consequences of higher preterm delivery are a growing burden on the health care system and parents. Studies have shown that preterm babies have higher morbidity rates and U.S. preterm birth rates are creeping up with no good explanation. In the U.S. the population at greatest risk for major depression is women of childbearing age and the onset and course of depression are often intertwined with reproductive events. A recent national study reported that 8.4 percent of pregnant women in the past year experienced major depression and only slightly more than 14 percent of those women sought treatment for any mood disorder.
Co-authors of the study are David Chae of Emory University, Sarah Mustillo of Purdue University, and Dr. Catarina Kiefe of the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the Birmingham Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The National Center for Research Resources and the Roadmap for Medical Research, both components of the National Institutes of Health, funded the research.

SUNY Canton Automotive Technology Program Receives National CertificationWednesday, October 15th, 2008
CANTON – SUNY Canton's automotive technology program has received the highest level of national certification following an extensive review and analysis.
The program received certification by National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) and the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). It gives the already-renowned program instant credibility nationwide and will assist graduates in their career pursuits anywhere in the nation.
To achieve this coveted recognition, the school's automotive technology program underwent rigorous evaluation and met or exceeded nationally accepted standards of excellence in areas including instruction, facilities, and equipment.
Brandon Baldwin, director of the automotive technology program noted that it had become necessary to add the ASE standards to continue the level of excellence established in the program.
"Many of our corporate contacts look for the ASE standard when they look to sponsor a program," Baldwin said. "This will mean that our students have the latest vehicles and equipment to hone their skills and complete their education."
Baldwin and other SUNY Canton faculty members within the Canino School of Engineering Technology worked side-by-side with the NATEF evaluators to ensure that the college met the stringent guidelines for the certification.
Upon completion of the evaluation, NATEF recommended that SUNY Canton be certified by The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). ASE is a national non-profit organization which tests and certifies repair technicians, in addition to certifying automotive training programs.
"This program increases cooperation between local education and industry leaders and gives even more assurance that SUNY Canton's graduates are ready to step into a career," said Donald Seyfer, NATEF Chair.
SUNY Canton offers a wide variety of career-driven bachelor's, associate, and certificate programs, as well as three master's degrees in conjunction with SUNYIT, Utica. Most of SUNY Canton's new four-year programs are designed so students can take them on-campus, online, or both. SUNY Canton OnLine features more than 100 courses online each semester. The college's athletic teams belong to the NAIA's Sunrise Conference, enabling students to compete in their respective sports for four years.
Media inquiries should be directed to Gregory Kie, Media Relations Coordinator, or call 315/386-7528.

Super-Easy Stir-Fry
- Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry
(toss last night's leftover steak and veggies in this recipe's sauce)
- Ginger-Scented Rice
(make double and save half for Friday)
Y ou did most of the work last night. Tonight, enjoy a quick stir-fry, sautéing the leftover steak and veggies in a tangy sauce from today's recipe. Ginger-scented rice is a great partner, and for dessert, serve purchased sorbet.
menu tip:
- Sorbet Solutions
We love mango, raspberry, or any fruit sorbet with this zesty Asian supper. And chocolate sorbet makes a low-fat yet decadent-tasting dessert. Another idea: Top scoops of mango sorbet with bittersweet chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate for an unexpected, wholly satisfying treat.

Industrial demand in Redditch remains strong as its position in the centre of the country continues to attract technology firms and manufacturers, according to property agents John Truslove.
In a review 2012 they point to the sector's resilience and ability constantly to reinvent itself.
Ben Truslove, of John Truslove, highlighted the firm's experience whereby Industrial is up ten per cent on 2011 which itself was ahead more than 20 per cent on 2010.
He said: "Redditch continues to attract a broad variety of industrial sectors including design, manufacturing, assembly and distribution.
"These have included a decent number of lettings of more than 10,000sqft such as the high-spec units at Threadneedle's Trafford Park scheme, where we were sole agents, and which is now fully let. To accommodate their continued expansion, Multi-Automation, who design and build machines for production line manufacturing, took one of the last remaining units.
"We see successful expanding local businesses through to big regionals and international companies who are looking to utilise the dedicated and skilled workforce that is available in the Midlands as well as its excellent communication links.
"It is primarily these two factors, along with some excellent industrial parks, which is the basis for Redditch thriving."
So much so that there is now a very limited supply of vacant industrial stock less than 20 years old in the Town.
The Office sector, said Mr Truslove, had also picked up – with the take-up figures for 2012 being more than triple those of 2011, both in terms of sales and lettings.
"Again it is down to a spread of business activity including successful start-ups and niche operators as well as the larger established companies."
John Truslove was responsible for one of the biggest office lettings in the Midlands during 2012, which has seen Ravensbank House in North Moons Moat fully let. Swiss packaging machine manufacturer Bobst Group announced a major expansion, taking more than 10,000sqft of high specification space to provide a showroom and offices.
Unfortunately, Retail is not matching the Industrial and Offices performance.
Mr Truslove said: "To put it bluntly the High Street continues to be difficult. "Think of all the national chains like JJB which have hit big problems – the whole sector is struggling. "With the economy proving problematic, consumers have been keeping a close check on their spending.
"Which is why it is so important for towns and cities to offer the welcome mat in every way possible. Unfortunately that is not always the case."
Making it easy and inexpensive to park is one vital incentive, with Redditch town centre in particular need of attention.
Mr Truslove noted: "I am pleased to hear that Redditch Council are considering providing on-street parking in the Town Centre; whether or not this comes to anything is another matter though. Positive action is essential if they want to breathe life into the Church Green business and shopping district, which forms the traditional hub of the Town. "It appears that the message is finally getting through that a lack of short-term parking combined with the use of aggressive parking wardens is killing local businesses. Understandably, it puts people off visiting the Town when they have more convenient options such as out of town retail parks, which offer free parking, or staying at home and shopping on line."
As for 2013, Mr Truslove is hopeful that the property market will develop further.
He said: "The figures for the past three years show that the demand for industrial and office space in Redditch is steadily improving but the big question mark remains retail. Whilst we are very much hoping for a turnaround I fear that the retail sector will remain tough for the foreseeable future."

HARRISBURG – As of 3 p.m. today, PennDOT temporarily reduced the speed limit on several roadways in the region.
PennDOT is urging motorists to avoid unnecessary travel but those who must head out will see speeds reduced to 45 miles per hour on the following highways:
- Interstates 78, 80, and 81.
Although PennDOT has crews treating roadways around the clock, the department's primary goal is to keep roads passable, not completely free of ice and snow. PennDOT will continue to treat roadways throughout the storm until precipitation stops and roads are clear.
Although PennDOT recommends not traveling during winter storms, motorists can check road conditions on more than 2,900 miles of state roads by calling 5-1-1 or visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, average traffic speeds on urban interstates and access to more than 670 traffic cameras. The 511 site also provides easy-to-use, color-coded winter road conditions for all interstates and other routes covered in the 511 reporting network. Regional Twitter alerts are also available on the 511PA website.
The department also asks motorists to allow plenty of space when driving near plow trucks. Also, for their own safety and the safety of plow operators, motorists should never attempt to pass a truck while it is plowing or spreading winter materials.
PennDOT reminds motorists to pack an emergency kit for their vehicles. A basic kit should include non-perishable food, water, blanket, small shovel and warm clothes. When preparing an emergency kit, motorists should take into account special needs of passengers such as baby food, pet supplies or medications and pack accordingly.
For more winter driving tips and information on how PennDOT treats winter storms, visit www.dot.state.pa.us/winter.

I have made no secret over the years writing this blog that I love Country Style magazine. It is truly one of those magazines that make you feel like making yourself a cuppa and settling down to devour the whole issue cover to cover. The March issue is no exception to this rule, rating up there as one of my all time favourites.
The March issue is based almost entirely on Tasmania, and is named the Tasmanian issue "Island Dreaming". The decorating pages are filled with Tasmanian only products including pieces from our very own Drill Hall Emporium. Our orchard ladder looks right at home against this sandstone wall, above. And our 19th century chaise longue doesn't look too shabby, either. No actually, it is meant to be shabby. It suits perfectly!
Tessa Kavanagh, Melbourne stylist with a unbeatable eye, was responsible for putting these decorating pages together. She sourced and assembled a beautiful mix of Tasmanian art, woollen blankets, wooden spoons and handmade porcelain pieces among other uniquely Tasmanian products. She showed how much Tasmanian has so much to offer in terms of quality materials, the handmade and the unique.
Another feature in the March issue is the privately owned Satellite Island upon which sits the most stylish beach (or should I say island?) home. In fact, you can book to stay on the island when the family are based in Melbourne. The perfect hideaway! Some of the pieces including the jars, cafe chairs and trestle table, above, were originally bought from our store. Who else would love to have a seafood lunch on this deck?
And I would really love to read a book at this setting! Notice the blue striped grain sack cushion? Mum will be happy to see that the owners have put it to good use... To see more on Satellite Island visit their website.
If you are planning a visit to Tasmania the March issue also plans out an itinerary starting in Launceston and heading south through the Midlands and on to the Derwent Valley. You could base most of you holiday on these few pages alone - where to stay, where to eat and what to do.
And most excitingly, Flywheel, our sister store to The Drill Hall Emporium, is featured over two fantastic pages. The article tells how and why we started Flywheel and shows some pictures around the store, including a shot of Rachel working the c.1915 Arab platen press!
So if you need any more convincing to go buy a copy and put the kettle on, I really cannot help you...
Until next time,

Costa Rica Conservation June update
Although June hasn't been the busiest time for us in terms of volunteers, we have still been incredibly busy continuing the work that has already been started, finishing certain projects around the park and setting up our butterfly project.
We began the month with the construction of the butterfly traps, those of you who have never seen a butterfly trap will be able to see the basic design in these photos, bait is left on the bottom plate (Which can be fruit, meat or even faecal matter depending on the type of butterfly you want to attract – we have been using fruit)
The butterflies are attracted to the scent of the bait and land on the plate to feed, once they walk to the centre where the bait is they feed until they are full or scared and then they fly, generally they cannot fly great distances downward so they get caught on the side of the net and then proceed upwards where they stay.
Once they are caught we can then come along and retrieve them from the net, bring them back to the camp and sort through them, identifying them and saving the most impressive individuals of each species to be displayed here in the park.
Although the displaying process is probably the part that many people will consider to be morally wrong it is part of the project that must be done, we cannot take the photos needed to identify species unless they are mounted and dried effectively, clearly once this process has been completed we should keep the specimens to make a presentation for park visitors and scientists who visit the area.
There have been a few studies already in the area but nothing continuous or regular enough to be of real use, so once again we are starting something ground-breaking for the park, learning along the way and already gaining some impressive results for the area.
Some of the other bigger projects we have been doing this month included the some things from the vast list of maintenance projects in the park, this time we began, and finished, the construction of a new drainage ditch for the kitchen sinks, this is something that should be done for every drain, toilet and shower, but like many things in the park there wasn't enough time or money to do them in the beginning. It doesn't sound like a huge project but legally drainage ditches have to be of a certain size and shape, this one being 1.5M deep on one side and 1M deep on the other and about 1M wide by 2M, not quite as easy as you originally thought right?
Thanks to the amazingly hard work of the volunteers, we managed to do this in just 1 day, although it was a very hard day we all felt content at the end of it!
One of the things I have been really happy about this month has been our increased involvement in environmental education projects, on two occasions we have worked in two different schools alongside students, parents and teachers to clean the school and plant native species from our nursery garden into the school grounds.
The reason why this has been especially enjoyable was because the students and teachers and parents noticed us as foreigners and began asking questions as to why we were there helping out, after explaining how people from all over the world are interested in working in Costa Rica for free to help conserve the beauty that this country has to offer we were all impressed to see that many of them were shocked and then almost embarrassed that there were people doing work that they could easily be doing themselves. Many of the children especially were then asking questions about other things they could be doing to protect the park and the surrounding areas and of course everyone noticed that the National Park Barra Honda was also heavily involved in these projects, improving the parks image which will eventually help us in controlling illegal activities and get extra help and funding into the park.
The increase in wildlife movement has shown no sign of decreasing this month although we have begun to notice a strange pattern in the area. As we are running three different observation projects in the area have been able to note the difference in movement on three different levels, Firstly we have noticed that there has been a increase in reptile movement and numbers around most of the park, over the last month we have seen 4 different species and about 8 individuals which has been a massive increase on months passed.
However we have noticed that there has been a decrease in mammal movement, this decrease has been noticed through the use of the sensor cameras and although we are 100% confident that the mammals are still in the park and nothing bad has happened to them we have yet been able to identify where they are now. It is very probable that, like in many countries that experience such different seasons, the wildlife is now spreading out due to the higher availability of food in the park, but water is still only available in certain areas and as yet we have not been able to find the water holes that mammals are using…The hunt continues!
And finally we have also noted that at this time there is a constant increase of species and individuals in the butterfly world, this is clearly because of the increase in fruit, flowers and salts from rain and faecal matter in the forest, which is continuing to keep us very interested in the butterfly project as new species are arriving all of the time.

BurlesqueDecember 23rd, 2010
"Get your ass up, show me how you burlesque," growls Christina Aguilera in one of this indulgent movie's indulgent musical numbers that swagger with pearls, glitter and red lipstick—if not grammatical verb usage. Writer-director Steve Antin's tarted up a great guilty pleasure that hews to the farm-girl-becomes-a-star framework, but adds extra flourishes. Don't judge Burlesque by its clichés—it's got 'em all and who cares. Note Antin's extra shimmies: Stanley Tucci's scene-stealing turn as the club's man of costumes and advice, the grand entrance of Cher who nails her role as a diva shaded by pride, regret and untapped maternalism. Underneath the rhinestones, Antin's made a character piece with credit due as much to casting as to his script. And he's unrepentant about shoe-horning in moments for his cast to shine; you giggle at the lead-foot obviousness when Cher decides to practice her new ballad, "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me," after hours, but damned if she doesn't kill it with her warm, warbling forte as though with every note she's apologizing for launching Auto-Tune. Kristen Bell is miscast as a sexpot who sees Aguilera as a threat, but Aguilera herself is damned decent in a performance that feels tailored to her limitations. She's no actress—at least, not yet—but she can own a stage. Antin's smartly crafted her role, keeping that voice under wraps from the other characters until halfway through the film. ("How do you do that!?" a fellow dancer gushes. "It just comes out," says Aguilera, a non-answer so tossed off and true it can only come from someone born with a gift.) But the best move Antin makes is to muss up his heroine. She's no naïf corrupted by the big city; she's a scrapper who gives as good as she gets. Aguilera gets to smile when her successes come at other girls' misfortunes, to hit back when they get catty. Even her crush (Cam Gigandet) is affianced to another woman, giving the mandatory romantic subplot some claws. She and the film around her work for what they want, even if we think their goals are cornball. Like his leading lady does here, Antin must have also gone home at night to read stacks of books on burlesque. They might be picture books, but effort counts.

The Social Services major is designed for professionals in the social services area. Eight units in Social Services are required for this program.
Students must complete 32 units of credit (128 semester hours) to earn a B.S. degree. The requirements for the B.S. degree fall into four categories:
- major area courses; varies according to major
- courses meeting general distribution requirements—17 units
- elective courses—6 units
- a "perspectives" capstone course—1 unit
The Major
Through study of a major, a student specializes and deepens academic and professional knowledge in a subject area. Students pursuing the bachelor of science degree must meet with an academic advisor for information about degree requirements.
Transfer students must take at least half the courses in their major area and all upper-level major requirements at Clark.
Distribution Requirements
Students are required to take 17 course units to meet the liberal arts distribution requirement. This requirement is designed to give students perspectives on human affairs, which will enrich their academic background and their professionalism. Industry, government and nonprofit organizations continue to emphasize breadth of knowledge and capability in those they employ.
A general outline of courses falling within discipline areas may be found preceding the course descriptions. Students should also review all interdepartmental (IDND) courses, many of which fulfill one or more area requirements. The student's School of Professional Studies undergraduate academic adviser can identify which courses meet particular requirements.
The 17 units must be distributed as follows:
- English/Verbal Expression — two units
- Humanities — five units
These courses must be distributed among at least three disciplines. One unit must be met by professional ethics.
- Science/Mathematics — four units
At least one course in each of these disciplines is required.
- Social Sciences — six units
These courses must be distributed among at least three disciplines.
Six electives are required for the B.S. degree. These electives may be selected from the entire spectrum of courses. One course must be taken in computer/information science. Students already computer literate may have this requirement waived by the associate dean.
Perspectives Course
In the senior or graduating year, degree candidates are required to take a "perspectives" course. As perspective courses vary from year to year, students should consult with their academic advisers. Current perspective course must be international in its focus.
Note that these requirements are the same for any B.S. major.

- About USCCB
Refugees, having suffered great loss, including loss of their homes, livelihoods, possessions and oftentimes families, need assistance starting over in a new country. Their initial needs are many: food, clothing, shelter, employment, ESL, and orientation to a new community and culture. In partnership with its affiliates, USCCB/MRS resettles approximately 30% of the refugees that arrive in the U.S. each year. The Catholic refugee resettlement network includes over 100 diocesan offices across the country and in Guam and Puerto Rico. Resettling refugees provides an extraordinary opportunity for countless Americans to take an active part in offering a caring and supportive environment for refugees as they begin new lives. Without volunteers and resources from the community and parishes, USCCB/MRS and the diocesan resettlement offices would be unable to accomplish the tremendous task of giving refugees new hope and the opportunity to begin again.
Residents of New York, Florida, and Washington, DC, donate online. Others may donate by going to the National Catholic Fund for Migration and Refugee Services webpage.
MyMembership is for diocesan staff working in partnership
with USCCB/MRS to provide services to refugees and migrants and others on the
move. It provides program-specific information, resources, and trainings
as well as broader resources to support this ministry. | Login

Nicole Richie reunites with Jessica Simpson and John Varvatos as celebrity mentors on NBC's reality competition Fashion Star, premiering tomorrow at 8/7c. Richie will continue to offer insight and advice to up-and-coming designers creating looks worthy enough to convince buyers from Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Express to purchase and carry exclusively in their stores. With $3,000,000 on the line, the fashion expert takes her job seriously. Here are five reasons why Richie's our favorite Fashion Star.
1. Nicole Richie Fashion Star: Bohemian Vibe
She was born and raised in California, which gives her that effortlessly cool bohemian vibe. Surrounded by creative spirits (her adopted father is Motown hit maker Lionel Richie and her biological father is Mexican American percussionist Peter Michael Escovedo), Richie says she developed an appreciation for fashion at an early age.
2. Nicole Richie Fashion Star: House of Harlow 1960
She launched House of Harlow 1960 in 2008. Debuting on celebrity hotspot Kitson.com, Richie's 1960s and 70s-inspired jewelry line (named after her daughter) is a favorite amongst Madonna, Vanessa Minnillo and Ashlee Simpson. She's since expanded to include her signature huge sunglasses, boho handbags, and sexy shoes.
3. Nicole Richie Fashion Star: Winter Kate
She launched Winter Kate, her first clothing collection, in 2009. Finding inspiration in her daughter again (her two middle names), The full-fledged line of bold print, ready-to-wear pieces are available at high-end department stores Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Selfridges, and ShopBop. "Fashion gives you the ability to express yourself, your mood," Richie said. "It's a creative outlet in many ways."
4. Nicole Richie Fashion Star: Bongo Jeans Ad
She was the face of Bongo Jeans and Jimmy Choo. Richie modeled crocheted camisoles and jeans for Bongo's 2005 ad campaign in the midst of her Simple Life reality show days with then-BFF Paris Hilton. In 2006, Jimmy Choo chose Richie for his spring advertising campaign, which featured jeweled sandals and a leather hobo bag adorned with Swarovski crystals.
5. Nicole Richie Fashion Star: Perfume
She has her own perfume. Nicole by Nicole Richie is a sensual scent with notes of blackberry, Seville orange, Moroccan rose, lily of the valley, sandalwood, sugared patchouli and vanilla. Translation: Heaven in a bottle.
6. Nicole Richie Fashion Star: Glamour Women of the Year Award
She's won awards for fashion. In 2010, Richie was awarded "Entrepreneur of the Year" for her House of Harlow 1960 and Winter Kate lines at Glamour's Women of the Year Awards. Her House of Harlow 1960 was also nominated for "Best Celebrity Fashion Line" at the 2010 Teen Choice Awards.
7. Nicole Richie Fashion Star: A Pea in the Pod
She designed a maternity line for A Pea in the Pod. In 2009, Richie joined maternity store A Pea in the Pod to create Nicole, a collection of long flowy paisley-print dresses, modern hippie tops, and solid staples for fashion conscious expectant mothers. Love!
8. Nicole Richie Fashion Star: Richie Madden Children's Foundation
She's down for the cause. Not only does Richie rock floppy hats like no other, but she's also a tireless giver. In 2007, Richie, her hubbie Joel Madden, and his twin Benji launched The Richie Madden Children's Foundation, which provides clean water, housing, and education to disadvantaged children around the world.

Norma, re: no-knead I don't remember where I read it - but I vaguely recall an interview/article on Jim Lahey which suggested that that his Pizza Bianca was the one dough at Sullivan Street which required mechanical mixing. I know Grandaisy Bakery* uses mechanical mixers for their Pizza Bianca (which is very similar, if not identical, to Lahey's product).Also, in Daniel Leader's "Local Breads", the author describes the process of making Pizza Bianca (in Rome) as requiring a long intensive mix of a high hydration dough.I have no idea if the "Pizza pomodoro" sold at Sullivan street uses the same dough as their Pizza Bianca...but if it does - then it will likely have been mixed using the same process. The whole "no-knead" phenomenon came later, I think, partially thanks to the famous Mark Bittman article in the NY Times.*situated at the original/former Sullivan Street bakery location. Grandaisy owner Monica Von Thun Calderón was Lahey's former partner at Sullivan Street Bakery when it was actually located on Sullivan Street.
Toby,Great to see you back on the forum. You always seem to know so much about everything related to pizza making. Your knowledge of what you vaguely recall is very interesting and also what you know about Grandaisy Bakery.I can now understand the ties between Jim Lahey and Monica Von Thun Calderón and maybe that might be the clue to finding out how to make a pizza something like this.I will do some more research to see what I can find.Thanks for taking your time to help out in this thread. Norma
We walked past the ovens, and Lahey showed me a long pizza bianca that was cooling (one of the only kneaded bread products he sells and, according to him, one of the oldest known bread products in history)
Thanks Norma, although it appears my memory was only half correct. Here is the article I was thinking of: http://www.eattoblog.com/behind-the-scenes-at-sullivan-st-bakery/and regarding Pizza Bianca, the writer says this:which does not necessarily confirm a machine mixer. However I am pretty sure about Grandaisy using a mechanical mixer.
Norma,The whole no knead thing, with the help of Mark Bitman, help put Jim Lahey on the map and on his way to celebrity status. Several years ago, I actually met Jim Lahey. This was all before the no knead phenomenon caught fire. He was with his dog outside of the bakery. I had just purchased some items from the bakery and was about to head out to the airport to return home when Jim struck up a conversation with me about bread making and the bakery. I didn't know who he was but he was trying to talk me into signing up for one of the bakery's bread making courses. I told him that I had just picked up some items from the bakery and was heading home and, hence, wouldn't be able to attend one of the courses. He suggested that I might want to return for one of the courses. I finally asked him what his relationship was to the bakery. I thought maybe he lived in the neighborhood and was a regular of the bakery. That is when he told me that he was Jim Lahey and that he owned the bakery. It looks like his persistent manner has served him well.Peter
Toby,Thanks a lot for referencing that article you were thinking about. It was very interesting to read about someone that was left to go back into the bakery and see all the big tubs of dough and even hear Jim Lahey might used natural starters in almost all of his breads. I wonder if his starter that he had been cultivating for 15 years was a milk kefir starter. It sure sounds like it, because it said the starter was yogurt-like in both taste and texture. I also was very interested in hearing about his Pizza Bianca. I would really like to be able to make a pizza as close to the pizza Jim Lahey does. I always had wanted to go back to the most simple pizzas made years ago. You are right, it does sound like Jim Laheys Pizza Bianca is kneaded.Thanks again for helping. Norma
The Pugliese Dough is a combination of a natural leavening and the saccharomyces cerevisiae strain of yeast. notice the likeness between the words saccharomyces cerevisiae and cerveza (the spanish word for "beer"); this is an alcohol-producing rain of yeast. jim lahey cultivated our natural leavening in tuscany, in a small farmhouse outside of the town of san gimignano. it was started with the bloom of the leaves of cavolo nero.
The details of the Sullivan Street Starter are no longer available on the current website, but retrieved from "menupages" google cache (as recent as October 2010):This picture from 2005 indicates that the Pizza Bianca formula contains both starter and baker's yeast:http://www.flickr.com/photos/roboppy/30224795/FWIW attached are some pics from my own pizza bianca style bakes (baker's yeast, no starter, 80% hydration)
Norma, I think you might find these useful:Grandaisy making Pizza BiancaPizza Bianca @ Forno Campo de'FioriI pretty much learned to make the pizza bianca you saw pictured from watching those videos.
Toby,Thanks so much for referencing those videos. That dough look so amazing at Pizza Bianca @ Forno Campo de'Fiori. The finished pizza bianca looks so nice, light and airy, too!Do you mind telling me what protein flour you used when you made your Pizza Bianca?Your help is appreciated. Norma
Toby,Thanks for telling me what kind of flour you went with. After I do more research on Jim Laheys Pizza Bianca, I will try one of the kinds of flour I have. I do have durum flour, Caputo Pizzeria, and KASL. Norma
You're most welcome. I think most bread flours would work fine - as would KA AP (which is pretty strong for an AP, since it's milled from hard wheat).Jim Lahey did once mention that Sullivan Street uses Conagra flour:http://www.seriouseats.com/2010/01/is-heirloom-wheat-the-next-big-baking-trend-jim-lahey.html

While it's true that Baby Face Willette's Stop and Listen is widely regarded as his finest recording, this, his Blue Note debut from January of 1961, should not by any means be overlooked. After all, before this session he had the same lot as most Blue Note artists at the time; they played as sidemen on other's recordings before being allowed to headline their own dates. Willette performed on dates by Grant Green (Grant's First Stand) and Lou Donaldson (Here 'Tis). Face to Face boasts a mighty meat and potatoes soul-jazz lineup: Green on guitar, Fred Jackson on tenor, and drummer Ben Dixon. Comprised of six cuts, five of them are Willette originals. The evidence of the rough and rowdy side of Willette's playing is evident from the opener, "Swinging at Sugar Ray's." His approach to the B-3 is far more percussive than Jimmy Smith's, each note is a distinct punch; not only in his solos, but in his chord and head approaches. His solo is a nasty, knotty blues sprint that encompasses gospel licks and R&B fills, too. The other notable thing about the cut is Green's guitar break that shows a side of him we seldom got to hear early on, where he's bending strings, playing in the high register, and using intense single-note runs. It's nearly a breathless way to open a record. Things slow down on the blues "Goin' Down" that features a nice emotive solo by Jackson. The mambo-infused "Whatever Lola Wants" by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross comes next and includes some beautiful stop-and-and start moves in the melody, as well as beautiful call and response between Jackson and Willette, while Dixon's drums shift around the outside before the whole thing breaks down into a groover. The poppin' funky title track has one of those beautiful hard bop heads that's instantly memorable. Sure, it's not terribly sophisticated but it's full of soul and a relaxed yet quick group of changes before Jackson begins to blow. "Somethin' Strange" is pure blues, Chicago style, before moving into tough funky soul. The set closes with "High 'N' Low," a relaxed show-closing groove joint; it's all blues with fine contributions from Green, Jackson, and Willette. The two alternates are not necessarily revelatory, but they do keep the solid vibes happening for another 13 minutes or so. Certainly it's true that these compositions don't show a ton of imagination conceptually, but that doesn't mean anything. The group interplay here is the thing, it works seamlessly. The other notable is the looseness with which Green was playing on the date, and the true introduction of Willette's trademark approach to the B-3. That's all here. These tunes have their own little trademark knots and notches all over them. Highly recommended.

Peace & Yours in Black 'N Gold,
Many thanks to BR7 (Ron) for the sig and matching avatar
well hes the second highest paid QB, and probably the 3rd or 4th best overall QB
I'd put him in the top 5 in the league for sure. He's easily mentioned in same breath as Manning, Brady, Palmer, Eli Manning, and anyone else you care to place at the top of the NFL.
after last year i would say most would have him just behind manning and brady. last year he passed palmer, mcnabb...among others.
and im not sure eli should even be mentioned yet, they had a nice playoff run but was terrible for alot of the year
I think when you win the SB you automatically get thrown into the top QB's in the league status whether it's warranted or not. Eli was average best during most of the year then he was very good in the playoffs and the SB.
meh ben wasnt really thrown in after the superbowl, no one really gave him much credit at all actually
Peace & Yours in Black 'N Gold,
Many thanks to BR7 (Ron) for the sig and matching avatar
I KNOW, but no one outside of pittsburgh gave him any credit for his first 2 years

Utah Week: Players Not ReturningPosted by AMurawa on August 29th, 2012
For the third straight year, Utah underwent rampant roster turnover in the offseason, with six transfers joining one senior (who had been dismissed from the team in the middle of last season) on their way out the door. There is a subtle difference this year, however, as the changes to the roster should benefit the program next season, allowing the new coaching staff to begin building with their own players rather than with the scraps they were able to assemble late in the recruiting period last offseason. In essence, last year was an audition period for all of the players on the roster, determining not only whether the coaching staff wanted each player back, but whether those players were interested in returning to the rebuilding job that is Utah basketball. Below, we'll take a brief look at all seven players (not including Blake Wilkinson, a freshman last season who departed for an two-year LDS mission in May) from last year who will not return to the Utes.
Josh Watkins – Watkins was dismissed by Larry Ktystkowiak on January 18 last season for an undisclosed team violation which was just another in a long line of issues that brought Watkins to that point. The lone active senior on the roster last season, Watkins was supposed to be an example for his younger teammates, doing all the right things on a team where everything else was going wrong. Still, Watkins played a valuable role for Krystkowiak last year; the dismissal of the team's most viable offensive threat in the middle of the season showed everybody else that nobody was above the team. Watkins, to his credit, completed his degree in May and acknowledged that despite his dismissal he still regards Krystkowiak as a "great coach."
Chris Hines – Following his graduation in May, Hines took advantage of the NCAA rule that allows graduates to transfer without having to sit out a year. As a result, the team's most prolific three-point shooter from 2011-12 will be matriculating at Drake this season. While an experienced veteran like Hines could always be valuable, the fact that the Utes have transfers Aaron Dotson, Glen Dean and Jared DuBois ready to step in this season lessens the blow considerably.
