It appears as though Los Angeles Kings' defenceman Drew Doughty will not be heading to Germany after all.
It was thought that the 20-year old Norris Trophy nominee would join Team Canada following the Kings first round elimination at the hands of the Vancouver Canucks, however a wrist injury means that the blueliner will not be able to represent Canada for the second straight year.
Doughty told USA Today that he "messed up" his hand during Game 1 of the Kings and Canucks series but he was able to play through the pain. He was stellar for Los Angeles in the six game series, scoring three goals and adding four assists.

The Battered Women's Justice Project (BWJP) is pleased to announce a webinar on the current use of risk assessment tools in the criminal justice and advocacy response to intimate partner violence (IPV) cases. There will also be a specific discussion about IPV cases involving military personnel and veteran perpetrators. How often do you hear people say there is a higher rate of IPV and a higher incidence of lethal IPV among the military and veteran populations? Is this true? Are military and veteran-related cases of IPV more dangerous? Is there a relationship between military and/or combat experience and the level of risk and danger? Are there different risk factors for lethality and re-offense when a perpetrator has served in the military and had combat experience? Do advocates and other providers need to use different models and risk and danger assessment tools/instruments when working with the military and veteran populations?
For more information and to register: http://conferences.bwjp.org/webconferencedetail.aspx?confid=350

A goal of many OVW grantees is to change institutional practices that give rise to poor outcomes for survivors of violence against women. Praxis International offers methods and tools for activists and representatives from institutions that process "cases" to move toward approaches that reform the ongoing work routines that ultimately shape case outcomes. The tools avoid blaming individuals for failing to protect victims. A Community Assessment emphasizes understanding how work is organized in ways that impede attention to victim safety and well-being and to offender accountability. Practitioners and advocates work side by side to analyze policies, case files, and the steps in case processing in order to identify concrete points of change. This webinar will provide an overview of the tools available and how they might benefit your community's efforts to improve responses to violence against women.

Presented by Teresa M. Garvey
The application of Crawford principles in the context of forensic evidence continues to plague the criminal justice system. The United States Supreme Court's decision in Williams v. Illinois did not provide the guidance prosecutors had hoped for with regard to satisfying Sixth Amendment confrontation requirements in cases involving forensic evidence, where multiple analysts may be involved or where examining experts are no longer available to testify. The Williams decision raises more questions than it answers about when and how an expert may testify to conclusions based upon the opinions or work of other (non-testifying) experts or technicians.
This webinar will provide a review of the relevant case law, and will explore how trial prosecutors can present a case involving forensic testing that involves a multitude of technicians and experts. It will also address Williams' impact on "cold cases," in which original experts who performed autopsies and other forensic examinations and testing are no longer available for trial. This webinar will provide practical suggestions to trial prosecutors who must balance limited resources against the need to secure convictions that will withstand confrontation challenges on appeal.
Allied justice system professionals including but not limited to prosecutors, law enforcement officers, lab personnel, medical professionals, and judges are encouraged to view the recording.

Good Luck!
As far as having less than 900 messages…its for speed and storage space. The BB internet is only so fast…generating those messages (had they not been stored on the phone alread) would take quite some time. Also, BB don't have unlimited space, so storage is an issue. Depending on the type of e-mails, 900 messages could easily go over the 64MB most BB's have.
Hope this helps!

As MTV ushered in the new frontier of music videos and 24-hour music television, the first video it played seemed like a warning shot across the bow of the music industry — it was Video Killed the Radio Star a synth-pop hit by a British New Wave band called The Buggles. The new format (for music) was threatening the established and ingrained radio industry.
Modernity and technology, it appeared, would force radio stations far and wide to become more relevant or go the way of full-service gas stations and the home delivery of milk.
As it turned out, video didn't kill radio because the radio industry did a fine job, over the last three decades, of annihilating itself.
Of course, none of this should come as a surprise — the incessant corporate push towards homogeneity that has occurred throughout the United States is beyond palpable. "Mom-and-pop" operations are nearing extinction. In media, particularly in the most intimate format, radio, the takeover of corporate behemoths has eliminated every and any regional appeal and charm that local radio offered. It has sublimated the lively, unique sounds that depict a city with a tasteless, mindless drone. At some point, our once distinguishable and varied radio waves became nothing more than insipid, prepackaged schlock.
Can anyone, older than a prepubescent child, listen to a pop station for longer than two minutes? If you surveyed your friends and neighbors, you would find the answer to be a resounding "No." With the exception of public and college radio stations, Miami radio sounds like the rest of the country, a bland, inane mush.
In Miami, the abysmal trend isn't confined to English-language radio, it has spilled over into Spanish-language stations, which have extracted most Cuban rhythms from their airwaves and, instead, serenade Miami listeners with syrupy ballads, Mexican pop and a disturbing mélange of reggaeton and fluffy hip-hop.
The corporate takeover of radio was the death knell for music. The days of music labels developing artists and shaping culture are long gone. Over the last several decades, bean counters and attorneys have replaced music-savvy executives. Music industry taste makers now hail from institutions like the Wharton School of Business and the results are painfully audible.
Radio was the polling booth for popular music. It also served as the squawk box for local concerns and issues. We can still hear a semblance of local opinions on sports-talk radio. However, I wonder if we need three, 24-hour stations chatting about free throws and NFL drafts?
A while back, the Darth Vaders of the radio business somehow convinced us (it was more like imposed on us) the notion that news talk or topical conversation was drab and passé. (The exception is WLRN in South Florida, which does community programming and an hourlong public affairs show on Fridays.)
That particular mindset of corporate-run stations was self-serving for the radio czars — sports talk radio is much more malleable. It is easy to target and identify listeners, thus making the format easier to sell to advertisers than thorny and often times controversial political content.
A resounding example of the effects of the lack of civic discourse and engagement in our town is easily attained by asking any Miamian, "Who plays point guard for the Miami Heat? There's a good chance that they will readily tell you its Mario Chalmers. In contrast, just above 10 percent of eligible voters turned out for our last election. Is this not the "dumbing down" of a community?
I challenge local radio stations to unleash and unshackle their on-air personalities (formerly known as disc jockeys) and allow them to play music and chat about issues in a way that reflects local tastes and interests — all the while preserving our unique blend of flavors and highlighting our undeniable panache. If this defiant plea for creativity and originality seems scary and overwhelming, then I recommend they experiment with a single, prominent part of the day.
Something tells me radio stations that unleash their DJs will be the toast of the town, and their ratings will reflect it.

Canadian comic scoops 'top gag', pushing pun-master Tim Vine into second place
IN 2011 it was Nick Helm's "I needed a password eight characters long so I picked Snow White and the Seven Dwarves"; this year, comic Stewart Francis's gag has been named the funniest one-liner at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
The Canadian scooped the top nomination in the poll, run by TV channel Dave, for writing: "You know who really gives kids a bad name? Posh and Becks."
Francis's didn't-see-it-coming swipe at the begetters of Cruz, Romeo and Brooklyn pushed Tim Vine, brother of radio presenter Jeremy and master of the quick-fire pun, into second place, reports The Times.
In February, Vine was given an award for the funniest UK gag of the year for his snappy one-liner "Conjunctivitis.com – that's a site for sore eyes".
In the US, Stewart Francis is known for hosting trivia show You Bet Your Ass and appearing on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson. Over here, he has toured with Ricky Gervais and guested on Mock the Week and 8 Out of 10 Cats. Other comics in this year's Edinburgh top ten included Rob Beckett and Lou Sanders.
The top ten Edinburgh one-liners in full:
1. Stewart Francis - "You know who really gives kids a bad name? Posh and Becks. "
2. Tim Vine - "Last night me and my girlfriend watched three DVDs back to back. Luckily I was the one facing the telly."
3. Will Marsh - "I was raised as an only child, which really annoyed my sister."
4. Rob Beckett - "You know you're working class when your TV is bigger than your bookcase."
5. Chris Turner - "I'm good friends with 25 letters of the alphabet ... I don't know why."
6. Tim Vine - "I took part in the sun tanning Olympics - I just got Bronze."
7. George Ryegold - "Pornography is often frowned upon, but that's only because I'm concentrating."
8. Stewart Francis - "I saw a documentary on how ships are kept together. Riveting."
9. Lou Sanders - "I waited an hour for my starter so I complained: 'It's not rocket salad'."
10. Nish Kumar - "My mum's so pessimistic, that if there was an Olympics for pessimism ... she wouldn't fancy her chances."

Timney Trigger AR-15 Large Pin .174" 3 lb Single Stage Solid
Product #: 920882 Timney #: 667-L UPC #: 081950667123

This Timney trigger is a true drop-in upgrade that will change the way you think about AR triggers forever. Available with a factory 3 or 4 pound pull, this trigger is a self contained unit that replaces your standard trigger in minutes, using the same hammer and triggers pins.

KINGMAN, Ariz. (AP) - A Kingman city councilman says taking steps to reduce noise from blaring horns of Burlington Northern Santa Fe freight trains passing through the Mohave County community remains a topic of significant interest to city officials.
Councilman Mark Wimpee says creating a so-called "quiet zone" to buffer train noise is on the city's wish list but that the least expensive option would cost taxpayers more than $350,000.
Wimpee says the city would bear all costs for changing crossings, installing concrete dividers and other work unless local businesses chip in.
The Kingman Daily Miner says some businesses have said they are willing to contribute.

Sellout Risk: Extremely High
DC is allowing you to be the boss and make all the calls with the new Judge boots. If you like a moderately stiff boot with great response, then throw these things on and lay down the law. The Judge boots also feature the Alpha Liner with a zonal construction for maximum comfort and performance. This shred is in session, the verdict is in, DC rules that the Judge boots are all you need to make a good time better.
Judge BOA
I had the old style ones from the first year they came out. After they finally ripped last year, I decided it was time for a new pair. Glad I stuck with these. I love how tight the Boa gets the boot. I also love the stiffness of the boot. I think that's one of the main things when you talk about responsiveness in a set up. The bindings can really be as stiff or loose as you want. You'll still be able to get serious response when your shins and heels aren't pulling out because the laces loosened during the day. The price for last year�s model is the only way to buy boots. The tech from first year to second year of a product is usually a big gap but when it comes to 8th and 9th iterations you're not seeing much.

"I have just had my bathroom refitted and these tiles look very classy. I would highly recommend them. I used ivory coloured grout which matched very well. I also used the tiles on the floor in the cloakroom. They look lovely, but on the floor are a little slippery."
"The first thing that caught my attention was the price, but after seeing the tiles in store I was pleased with the quality. They were really easy to lay and the end product was very pleasing to the eye, I am very happy all round."
"I have just used these tiles on my bathroom walls. The back wall and the corner where the shower is were completely tiled, the other walls were half tiled and border tiles were used all around the bathroom. The tiles look superb and I had them at a good price, I would have bought them at the full price if necessary! The delivery was as promised and the staff I dealt with at my local store were very helpful, no problem in returning excess tiles."
"The tiles looked lovely but when the tiler went to lay them we noticed that one side of the tiles was flat and the other was not. The tiles don't all lie straight when put on a flat surface with a level on them. This caused a lot of problems when laying & the end result is not as flat as we would have liked though adequate for use. For this reason I would not recommend or buy these tiles again."

Can one teach young people to be moral? Is morality something that must be taught in the home? Is it innate?
Currently I am working on a professional development platform focused on teaching college students ethics and morality. Young people seem to be incredibly disengaged from others, have little sense of what it means to be moral, gracious or ethical and don't care. How can we teach morality or is it something that is innate?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jan 25 2013: Morality is a very personal yet vague notion. Every society has or had thier own form of norms that would be equated to morals. I believe parents play an extremely important role in the moral growth of their children. Sharing personal stories and learning points work to a certain extent.
Proviidng quantity time as opposed to quality time made a difference to me as a child. Whenever I wanted to talk or such, my dad would always be there for me, even though he was pulling in minimum wage and long hours. HE instilled in me a great sense of responsibility as well as a sense of morals that have put me in good stead with my peers. While morals may shift, the values we give as significant figures in children's life enable them to evolve.
As an educator, I applaud you in your attempt to teach ethics and morality. It's not easy. Especially as they come to you at this age, where they have already 'tasted' the world.
The Scouts have a term that Scouting means 'Doing". Nothing beats a lesson on morality than to get into the trenches and do physical work.
Using lesson times to work at the homeless shelters/orphanages to make new furniture or to even organise long term stints as "Big Brother' to the underpriviledged and other such programmes will really help them to shape their ethics and sense of morality. It did for me.

They have had their carpets cleaned in the past with products that were labeled non-toxic and still had a reaction. How do we determine what is non-toxic?
A: Before we define non-toxic, we need to understand what toxic means. The word toxic has been defined as "Having a chemical nature that is harmful to health or lethal if consumed or otherwise entering into the body in small quantities."
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, "The toxicity of a substance is its ability to cause harmful effects. These effects can strike a single cell, a group of cells, an organ system, or the entire body. A toxic effect may be visible damage, or a decrease in performance or function measurable only by a test. All chemicals can cause harm. When only a very large amount of the chemical can cause damage, the chemical is considered to be relatively non-toxic. When a small amount can be harmful, the chemical is considered toxic."
The toxicity of a substance depends on three factors: its chemical structure, the extent to which the substance is absorbed by the body, and the body's ability to detoxify the substance (change it into less toxic substances) and eliminate it from the body.
Are "Toxic" and "Hazardous" the Same?
No, toxic and hazardous are not the same. The toxicity of a substance is the potential of that substance to cause harm, and is just one of the factors used in determining whether a hazard exists or not. The hazard of a chemical is the practical likelihood that the chemical will cause harm. A chemical is determined to be hazardous based on the following factors:
- Toxicity: how much of the substance is required to cause harm
- Route of exposure: how the substance enters the body
- Dose: how much of the substance enters the body
- Duration: the length of time the subject is exposed to the substance
- Reaction and interaction: other substances the subject is exposed to concurrently and their combined effect
- Sensitivity: how the body reacts to the substance compared to its reaction in other subjects
Some common everyday products that are generally safe for use can be considered toxic given an unusual set of circumstances. For example, water is necessary to sustain life, yet if the dose is significant enough, it can be considered toxic.
Drinking too much water can deplete the body of essential electrolytes. Electrolytes are substances that become ions in a solution and acquire the capacity to conduct electricity. The balance of electrolytes in the body is essential for the normal function of cells and organs. In September of 2005, it was reported that a 32-year-old man in Liverpool, England died after drinking too much water. A pathologist said that the water had washed the essential salts from his body causing him to fall into a coma. Likewise, there have been a number of similar cases reported in the United States within the past few years.
Once more, a cleaning product is considered non-toxic "When only a very large amount of the chemical can cause damage..." Cleaning products that meet that definition can be labeled as such. That means that most of the population will not have a noticeable reaction to their use. However, there is a segment of the population that is highly sensitive to the same chemicals. According to National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, multiple chemical sensitivity, or MCS, "usually starts with either an acute or chronic toxic exposure, after which this initial sensitivity broadens to include many other chemicals and common irritants (pesticides, perfumes and other scented products, fuels, food additives, carpets, building materials, etc.)." Ohio State University published the following comments in an article on MCS, "...there seems to be no single stimuli or predictor of reactions" and "...the unique ability of each body to respond to different chemicals in different ways makes it difficult to understand the effects of any one chemical in a particular concentration on any person. Just as some people react adversely to certain medications while others do not, the way one person reacts to a chemical in the environment may be entirely different than another person."
Working with MCS clients requires more research and understanding. They may have sensitivities to a broad range of chemicals. Because they are highly sensitive, the criterion that is normally used to determine what is acceptable does not apply. OSHA's permissible exposure limits (PELs) and the American Conference of Governmental Hygienists' threshold limit values (TLVs) do not apply. Sometimes the only way to determine what cleaning products are usable in such a situation is trial and error. Additionally, what works with one MCS client may not work with the next. Some clients with MCS may know of products that they can tolerate versus others they cannot; others may fall into the category of not knowing what does and does not work for them at all. Clearly, providing cleaning services in these cases is highly complex and should be handled with the utmost care and concern.
According to John Banta, co-author of "Prescriptions for a Healthy House, A Practical Guide for Architects Builders and Homeowners," there are some things you can do to help assure your success when working with clients that suffer from MCS. People with MCS are often able to smell odors that cannot be detected by others. Therefore, cleaning equipment, hoses and supply tanks needs to be scrupulously clean. Any residual cleaners from previous jobs may contain perfumes or other components that may not be acceptable for your client. Just because you aren't bothered by the product, or can't smell it doesn't mean it will be acceptable for them.
Your client may not be able to tolerate the odors on your clothes from previous jobs, your laundry detergent or fabric softeners. They may also have difficulties with residual smoke odors, antiperspirants, colognes or other fragrances you use or pick-up from places you have been.
One suggestion would be to provide the client with a sample of the cleaning chemicals, labeling and MSDS sheets for any product you plan to use. This will allow them to self-test, or consult with their physician to determine if the product will be acceptable. If your client already has a cleaning product that works for them, it may be helpful to use the product they supply.
Another possible strategy would be to test the cleaning product on a sample of the material you will be cleaning. Sometimes the cleaning product will react with the material or other chemical treatments creating an unacceptable odor or condition for the client. Some products have been specifically developed for individuals with MCS, but even they don't work for everyone and require careful evaluation.
When asked to provide cleaning services for a client that has MCS, it is important to weigh the cost and time required to solve the problem versus the risk of failure to provide acceptable service. Solving such a problem can be very rewarding; however, it may not make good business sense to all professional cleaning firms. As the world population becomes progressively more sensitive to the environment, the increasing number of individuals with chemical sensitivities will increase the demand for professional cleaning firms to help solve the cleaning needs of their clients.

One player of interest for the Atlanta Falcons is Missouri linebacker Sean Weatherspoon, who is set to workout for representatives from the team on Wednesday in Columbia, Missouri.
The Falcons have dipped into the Big 12 with each of their second round picks in each of the last two drafts.
In 2008, they selected Oklahoma linebacker Curtis Lofton and last season they selected Missouri safety William Moore.
Weatherspoon meet with the Falcons at the NFL scouting combine. He' s the No. 2 rated linebacker in the draft by Pro Football Weekly's 2010 Draft Guide. Texas linebacker Sergio Kindle is rated ahead of Weatherspoon.
Here's their upside to Weatherspoon: "Instinctive with an outstanding football IQ — has a nose for the ball."
Downside: "Does not have long arms and could do a better job disengaging — stays hung up on blocks and can be engulfed."
March 16th, 2010
6:52 am
Draft SPOON!
March 16th, 2010
6:59 am
He's a nice player, but not outstanding. I'd trade down in the first round and try to get an additional pick by sliding. He is like Lofton, pretty good, but not enough to be a game changer on defense.
March 16th, 2010
7:03 am
We need someone who can hit hard and make plays. If Weatherspoon is that type of player then go get him!
March 16th, 2010
7:15 am
"Downside: "Does not have long arms and could do a better job disengaging — stays hung up on blocks and can be engulfed."
I can do without a LB with this problem. A LB has to be able to take on a blocker and disengage to make the tackle. This isn't college where LBs just hang out and make tackles. I say NO to Weatherspoon.
Compare him to LBs from last year and he's a 3rd/4th rounder. Do not reach just because he is the #2 LB this year. Get a LB further down in 3rd or 4th round.
March 16th, 2010
7:32 am
have not yet decided on spoon. am sold on spork, though.
March 16th, 2010

Turner may start to regress a little and Norwood is fragile and the easiest RB to arm tackle in the NFL. Get the best offensive talent in the draft this year–get Spiller!
March 16th, 2010
7:55 am
If the Falcons go offense in the first it will be a O-lineman or maybe WR. They are not going to draft a RB in the first when they already have Turner, Norwood and Snelling under contract.
Weatherspoon is the player most likely to be drafted by the Falcons in rnd 1. He fits a need and has the traits the Falcons look for in a player.
March 16th, 2010
7:56 am
Weatherspoon would be a decent pick. I would prefer Griffen or Pierre-Paul, but would not complain. Actually as long as more than half our picks are on defensive players, I will celebrate. I know we need another WR, offensive lineman, maybe even a RB. But I think if we can really beef up the D, the offense can wait another year.

I like the Spoon pick at 19 if available .But if not and Spiller is available then that would be a great pick up.Mcknight should go in the 2nd rd.But McClusky could possibly make it to us in the 3rd.

Weatherspoon reminds me of Jessie Tuggle in size and veracity. Some players can look good with long arms and hugh bodies, but you can't teach heart. Spoon seems to have "it".

The type LB we need is a rush of the edge type, IF we draft that position. That is not his game which requires quick dis-engagement.
Please forget about Spiller unless you want the same defense as last year. Which of course means you're really a A'ints fan.

Updating previous reports, the Lions surrendered only a 2010 sixth-round pick and a conditional seventh-rounder in the 2011 draft in their trade with the Falcons for CB Chris Houston.
In addition to the confirmed 2010 sixth-rounder, original reports had the Lions exchanging fifth-round picks in this April's draft (No. 132 for No. 148). Instead, the second pick traded won't come for another year and may be as late as the seventh, presumably depending on starts and Houston's production.

We got hosed on the Houston trade.

I say BLOW up our draft to trade for Eric Berry. He`s a game changer and seems to be falling somewhat. If hes available @ 7-9 lets move up…
March 16th, 2010
8:55 am
Berry is dropping for a reason and Don Imus would be a better pick than Pouncey. Take spoon if he is still there although I doubt he will be.My pick would then be the best available D.E.
March 16th, 2010

I've seen into the Falcons future………and it involves a SPOON!!!!
March 16th, 2010

Unless we trade back to get a 2nd rounder we need to take OL or Spoon at 19!
March 16th, 2010
9:11 am
I heard Spoon was "ME" type player who came off as a real jerk at the combine interviews…read one of the scouting reports and the scout said he'd be a cancer in the locker room and suggested teams stay away in the 1st round.
March 16th, 2010
9:21 am
Spoon has a lot of Heart, a motor that doesn't quit, leadership qualities that we lack currently, a mouth that will be backed up physically and the 'IT' quality that most NFL teams covet. I think our guys TD/MS love him and will make him our 1st rounder. I think we also go best player availible in the 3rd and needs base on or 3rd comp.
March 16th, 2010
9:22 am
A "nose for the ball" is exactly what we need more of on defense. Hey D-Led, how come you didn't use this guy's entire name? Are you THAT sure we're going to trade back into the 2nd to get Pouncey and picks?
March 16th, 2010
9:32 am
Spoon is exactly the piece we need to bring this Defense into the top 10. Not only because of his play, but his work ethic and influence on his teammates. He would be our version of Derrick Brooks and add an identity to this D. Not to mention he is fantastic in pass protection. Look at his Senior Bowl performance.
Obviously the Pass-rush needs to be addressed, but short of Derrick Morgan, all of the first round DEs are projects, and we already have 2 promising prospects in Sidbury and Biermann. Sidbury's numbers are as good, and in most cases better than any DE in this draft.
Look back to the '08 and '09 Eagles games, both Ain'ts games last season. We are getting killed by athletic TEs and pass-catching RBs like Westbrook, Bush, and Shockey. A great coverage OLB like Spoon, who can be a starter day 1, would neutralize that weakness. He would also be a great asset agent mobile QBs as a spy, like Derrick Brooks was so good at getting to Vick. Imperative since we may have to face Vick and a few other mobile Qbs again this year.
March 16th, 2010
9:33 am
I'm still thinking TD will make a trade using a player/players (JA 98 comes to mind) or picks (trading down to a later 1st rd pick and adding a 2nd pick) to get us back in the second rd and with his old team (NE) sitting there with 3 second rd picks, in the 40's, it would seem they are the likely trading partner. If we gave up our 19 and JA 98 (NE needs depth at DE and JA 98 is better suited to be a 3-4 DE anyway) and one of our 4th rd picks, we might get there no. 1 (mid 20's) and one of the their 2nd rounders (say 47). Then we could get an OLB with either our No. 1 or No. 2 and pick highest rated OT or WR or DE with the other pick. I really like Spoon but if TD has him rated in the high 20's on the board, I don't want to reach for him. After Spoon and Sergio there is a drop at OLB but if we had a 2nd rd pick we could fill that need for an OLB at that spot. It definately has to addressed in this yr's draft in the upper rounds. It's the thinest spot we have on the team
March 16th, 2010

AiphaDawg…..I've been saying that myself and no one listens. We don't need another DHall on this team. Spoon=DHall 2.0
March 16th, 2010

He will not fit in with the sorry Atlanta defense that dallas just killed for a nice 37-21 win
March 16th, 2010
9:58 am
The guy has attitude which is something our D needs. We also saw what having a playmaker at LB does for a team with Mike P at the begining of last year. Too bad he lost his mojo as the year went on. I would be happy to see Spoons name called out at 19.
March 16th, 2010
10:02 am
I checked out a number of mock drafts and I was surprised at what I found. Everyone of those mock drafts had Kindle, Witherspoon and Graham available at #19. It appears everyone feels there will be a run on OT's early, and there seems to be a lot of quality at the position.
The question is, if all 3 are available, which one would you choose? Would those of you who've been promoting Spoon select him over Kindle, who's rated higher overall than Spoon? Let's say we draft Spoon or Kindle, and either one beats out MPeterson for the starting OLB spot. Then let's say WMoore wins the starting FS position from EColeman.
With the return of DT's PJerry from injury and JBabineaux from suspension, DE JAbraham to form, the additions of CB DRobinson, OLB SWitherspoon/SKindle and FS WMoore, we could end up with the NFL's youngest, fastest, quickest, most athletic and potentially most dominant DEF, depending on how quickly things come together.
Basically, the Saints have lost their 2 biggest DEF playmakers and. They signed most of these FA's because they didn't have many draft picks last yr due to a couple of trades, so they don't have any quality replacements waiting in the wings to take over. THE ATLANTA FALCONS WILL WIN THE NFC SOUTH AND THE SAINTS WILL BATTLE IT OUT WITH THE BUCS FOR 2ND PLACE.

If the Falcons' interest in "Spoon is just a smokescreen,as some of you seem to be saying, it sure is an elaborate deception! Remember folks–most of the men we brought onboard the last couple of seasons have all participated in these private workout sessions. I don't see this staff wasting the very limited time before draftday on trying to fake some other GMs out. Instead, I suggest our interest in this young man is genuine and intense. He posesses most of the attributes a manager looks for in a player and a person in whom you're about to invest your carreer and a lot of your bosses' dough. In that regard this guy appears to be one of the safer risks in the late 1st and a great value from the mid-1st on down.

It's not too farfetched to expect a run on the top OL talent, as it happens every year. The only guy who fits that description that MIGHT be there @ 19 is Iupati and given the huge turnout at his proday I doubt he'll be around when we pick.
If it's down to 'Spoon or Kindle I don't think Sergio's game is as complete as "Spoon's right now. Kindle has upside but in rd 1 you don't have the luxury of hoping a guy will pick up his game at the next level.
I concur with your asessment of the NFC South–it's ripe for the pickin' and we're almost positioned perfectly to take advantage of our opponents misfortunes. A few key guys in the draft and (Lord willin') a few less injuries and this really could be our time.
Ignoring obnoxious Dallas fans' is 2nd nature to me– my best friend since 2nd grade is a Cowboy nut and all this racket on here this morning is like normal background noise to me. The only thing enviable about big D is their marketing and self-promotion (plus they seem to draft really well in the late rounds which ain't easy).
March 16th, 2010
10:54 am
@waynester you need to join the cowboys bang wagon. Hey tell your best-friend he is a very smart man. I think you should draft a QB matty ice is trash
March 16th, 2010
10:55 am
He is the guy we need to run sideline to sideline with the likes of D. Williams, Bush, Bradshaw, Peterson, F. Jones, McCoy and all the other fast RBs we will face in the NFC this regular season and in the playoffs.
Right now our LBs are too slow. TD loves speed and this guy has it ! He flies around the field like a mad man making plays.
Then we get that center position locked up in the 3rd round with M. Johnson or Tennant.
March 16th, 2010

March 16th, 2010

Ahh, my two least favorite teams bickering, what fun! Geaux Saints in '10. It's between my Saints and the Falcons for the NFC South, and the Cowboys will good next year in their division, so we all have a great reason to talk trash. But, in the end, you know who will be playing in Jerrah's World in February, The Saints! The Falcons are getting there, and the Cowboys are coached by Wade Phillips, enough said. We got Drew Brees and Sean Payton. And Sean P will be chugging Jerrah's Caymus wine all night! Drew Brees, the best QB in the league, and will lead us to the promise land again. And there is nothing that Tony Homeaux or Matty Ice can do about it. WHO DAT!
March 16th, 2010
11:11 am
Larry is right.. Get offense in the first round.. Norwood seems like he has taken a dip the past couple of seasons and Turner has shown he cannot carry the load without getting hurt.. It would be smart to do this. We still have other holes to fill or secure.. Maybe @ wr too..
March 16th, 2010
11:16 am
well let me add my 2cents. i think it time to get another weapon, m. jenkins just not cutting it. if not now when? you got Dez Bryant droping, Demaryius Thomas movingup even with a broken foot. and with the rigt move the falcons could really get Golden. I know Harry will be back so what and I hope he'll be 100% when he do. but how can you get too much ammo for your rifleman. and i hate all this projecting some one here and there. what about letting that big guy G.Reynolds a chance to work the spot. now D led please stop with M. Pouncey withour top pick you can gey a good C from anywhere right Jammie Dukes he had aprety good run with the falcon and just where did we get T Mac anyway and you have B. Romberg waiting my point is you're wrong too keep pushing him when you fine a serviciable one for the next few years.

If the Falcons go offense in the first it will be a O-lineman or maybe WR. They are not going to draft a RB in the first when they already have Turner, Norwood and Snelling under contract.
Halsey, I'd like to hear you make a case for the Falcons taking a WR in the first round………are we talking about the same team? And if he is available I guarantee you they will take CJ Spiller @ #19. but he won't be.

love to see O-line or Spiller(if available) in the 1st…if not there move up into the late 2nd and try for the cat from Old Miss…there tons of potentail in later rounds for an OLB and a WR…and I'd like to see Grant here as a FA for a cpl years as a stop gap till we can develope a later round DE…

Here's where you find the best of the best, our top digital cameras across the board.
The update to Canon's aged midrange dSLR has some really nice enhancements, as well as some disappointing omissions.
While it's a perfectly fine camera when you're making the jump from a point-and-shoot, there are better choices than the Canon EOS Rebel T5.
An overall excellent camera, but one that fails to capture the best-in-class prize for image quality.
Unless it's got some hidden tricks or deep price cuts in its future, the T5's entry-level dSLR competitors should have little to worry about.
While the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 is a perfectly reasonable entry-level dSLR, you can get the same photo and video quality in a smaller body for the same money (or less) by opting for a mirrorless interchangeable-lens model.
While it provides one of the best touch-screen experiences in its class and the compact body is quite comfortable to shoot with, the Canon EOS M's disappointing performance and blah feature set make it less attractive than competitors.
While the Canon EOS Rebel T5i is -- almost literally -- the same solid camera as its predecessor, it's starting to lag frustratingly behind the competition in some ways.
The photo quality you get from the EOS 6D makes it well worth the upgrade over a consumer APS-C model, but between this and comparable or higher-end models it's a less obvious choice.
A fine camera, the Canon EOS Rebel T4i's more expensive 18-135mm STM kit (or body with another STM lens) is the only version that merits an unqualified recommendation. You can probably find better alternatives if you just want a sub-$1,000 dSLR for still photography.
The company's interchangeable-lens HD camcorder comes in at $7999.

Drowning Into The Heavens
The white ripples dance over the glassy waves, washing over the sandy beach. Tiny holes fill with clear blue, and collapse underneath until the banks are solid once more. The sun against the painted sky casts a hue of violet across the peaceful body of water. Its illuminating glow hovers over the ocean, and lowers until it shows only a single ray of light throughout the waters. The clouds begin to disappear, absorbed by the night sky. Day is conquered by night, and all that is heard within its grasp is the single, silent sound of waves washing over rock and sand. The moon rises in the night sky, casting a new light on the world.
Under the twirling salt water of the Mariana Trench lies an entire different world. Creatures with gills swim in colonies, rubbery skin covering their tiny bodies. Blobs of blue and red float throughout this universe, carrying tiny strands that move to the beat of the current. Colossal beings gaze through the world, singing in pure joy. Pieces of green and yellow plants attach themselves down below, hiding and housing colorful bodies that feed on its nutrition. Strange species roam its depths, deeper into the darkness.
Down below, where no human may ever breath or see, lies a land unlike any other. Stars light the abyss, in a multi array of color and beauty. These beings posses the ability to produce such wonder, because the darkness is so overwhelming. Exotic, horrifying molds wonder into the unknown. Millions of teeth cover them. Electric shots of poison shoot from their mouths. Tiny globs of light attract the weak to their grasps. The more peaceful absorb defensive structure, to confuse and bewilder the strong. Transparent figures dance. Knots of muscle float. Chemicals produce twinkling lights.
Even deeper, past the pitch black world lies a figment of gods imagination. Over the end of the ocean, lies a castle. A castle made of pure glass and gold. Its streaks of blue cover every inch, to form an astronomical city. The structures spread wide and far, holding a group of figures known as the wise ones. These creatures run the universe. They create. They destroy. With their spears of light, darkness, and glass, they control. Walking giants with crab shaped bodies slowly tread over the land, searching for death. All they see is the castle, and nothing else. It seems abandoned, it seems dead. All that is seen is glass. All that is seen are the waves of diamond, covering the beaches of their world.
He wakes up. He notices, quickly, that everything around him is made of a strange, glassy material. His face reflects distortedly back at him. There is nothing inside of this room except a single mattress, and a pitch blue door. He looks again, thinking this might be a dream, but he sees the same wonder. He opens his mouth, but his cries for help make no sound. What is this place? He gets up from the cold mattress, and stumbles against the blue handle of the door. It turns, to his surprise, and opens in complete silence. There is no sound... there is no air. Yet I can see.
Outside his chamber lies an endless tunnel of glass. There are no windows. There are no people. There is just emptiness. A tear drops from his face, and melts onto the glassy floor below. He walks. His footsteps make no sound as he continues into the unknown. He walks still. Hours pass. He grown tired. He grows anxious. He runs. He sweats. He screams to no avail, already understanding that this silent hell is an endless abyss of solid, blue glass. He slips, and falls to the floor below. Pounding his fist against its surface, he beings crying. He lies there, staring straight up. Everything is the same, distorted blue. It goes on forever. He grows hungry. He grows thirsty. He grows old.
Everything begins growing black. He stops breathing, and he finally hears a sound. His heartbeat covers everything, and then stops. The world is quiet once again. And so the crab shaped giants carry him into the sky, and illuminate the moon that lights our peaceful world.
