It is one of the oldest questions in college football: Coaches know that at this time of year it is important to push their teams, mentally and physically, in order to get them ready for the season. At the same time, the coach also wants to get to the first game with a reasonably healthy team.
Push them too hard and the injuries start to mount up. Here are just a few injuries that have already impacted the upcoming season:
**–Darren Evans, RB, Virginia Tech: Evans, who set the school record for rushing by a freshman in 2008, tore an ACL and is out for the season. Virginia Tech opens against Alabama in the Chick-fil-A College Kickoff on Sept. 5 at the Georgia Dome.
**–Isaac Madison, CB, Arkansas: Was projected to be a starter on a defense that desperately needs improvement. Torn ACL. Out for the season.
**–Jaybo Shaw, QB, Georgia Tech: The backup to starter Josh Nesbitt broke a collarbone and will be out for six weeks. He may decide to redshirt.
**–Aaron Corp, QB, Southern Cal: Corp won the job of replacing Mark Sanchez in the spring but cracked a bone in his leg last week. If he doesn't return to practice soon, it is likely that the Trojans will start a true freshman, Matt Barkley, in their opener against San Jose State on Sept. 5 and their big trip to Ohio State on Sept. 12.
**–Oklahoma State opens with Georgia on Sept. 5 but quarterback Zac Robinson has missed a bunch of practice with a bad hamstring. Robinson is expected to be ready for Georgia but how sharp will he be?
But if coaches don't push their players hard enough, they don't have the physical edge necessary to play at the highest level of college football. Georgia's Mark Richt admitted that he started to back off a little last season when the injuries started to pile up. There is no question that it impacted the team, especially on defense.
"The head coach has to make that call and it is not always an easy one," said former Tennessee head coach Phillip Fulmer. "Your staff wants to get after it pretty good because they want to see their guys get better. The head coach has to look at how injuries are affecting the entire team and tell his coaches what to do."
For most of Vince Dooley's 25 years at Georgia (1964-88) he believed in tough, physical practices in the preseason to set the tone for what was to come. Once the season started, however, Georgia would hit on Tuesdays and then have no contact the rest of the week. Later in his career Dooley would limit contact in practice, especially in the second half of the season.
"The natural reaction when you start getting injuries is to back off," said Dooley, who won 201 games and six SEC championships at Georgia. "But injuries are part of the game and you can't back off too much or your team won't be ready to play. At the same time, you've got to get your best players on the field on Saturday. If you don't, you're not giving your team the best chance to win."
So what's the answer? If you're a fan, do you have to live with a certain number of injuries, knowing that it is necessary to get your team ready to play? Or should coaches be less demanding in order to limit injuries, especially to key players?
The floor is yours.

There is a reason that you put red jersies on the players you don't want injured. That way the defense knows to hit them like ugag would hit them….powderpuff.
45-42….just the beginning.

Other than the QB, I believe there should be full speed heavy hitting in August. You have to see who can do it, and to go less than 100% is to invite injury. Once the season starts, I believe in a hard hitting Tuesday and Wednesday. Ease off the rest of the week. Injuries are part of the game, and if you think about it..most injuries during the regular season happen in the games, not practices. In the preseason, a lot of the injuries are in the first week when their bodies are not used to the hitting. By keeping the hitting going, the bodies adjust.

If you are really a tough team and your tough players are not in uniform, you only have bragging rights not victories. CMR is going to be better prepared this season. I really like our team! We want to see them play on Sat. not read about them on Wed.

Depth may be the determining factor for a lot of coaches. And it always seems like Murphy's law. If you're thin at a particular position, that's where injuries occur.
August 18th, 2009
8:44 am
Off season conditioning is vital to minimizing injury. Early camp non-contact drills will still see stress fractures, seperated shoulders, torn ligaments and broken bones occur from coast to coast. Once the pads are on and guys are fighting for jobs, toss in a head injury or two. It's a fine line for coaches to get their horses to the starting line healthy…May the strong survive.

It seems that one victory in a decade is all a Technerd needs to pump up his or hers or its confidence to an all time high. 45-42 the beginning and the end of this period of equality. Hope you all enjoy it. Practice those chop blocks boys….cause Hell's coming, and he's wearing Red and Black

This is an age old question – we had the same questions, and injuries, back when I played in the 60's – 70's, and even before. The bottom line is that injuries are a freakin' big part of the game, especially the season ending knee injuries. They are unavoidable, and unless you want to field a wussified team, try to practice like UGA did last due to the injuries, and the results are less than stellar. You deal with it and move on – and have great year (9-4 a la Tech), or a mediocre year (10 – 3 a la UGA). You just keep pluggin' and doing the best you can!

I ain't sure why the Gawja Tech Jackettes practice at all. No body can stop the triple option cept Gardner Webb and they don't play them this year. They have such rich football tradition… they win at least 7 games a year and once in a decade they win 9 and give themselves a ring.
Maybe some day, if they were to start practicing real hard they'd win an ACC Championship and a bowl game. They might even be able to sell some tickets to the games too. I'm gonna buy me a ticket and get those free hotdogs and cokes, weeee doggie….

Just something you have to deal with in the preseason. It is the reason recruiting is so vital. They have to be ready to play and you can't do that without contact.

August 18th, 2009
9:04 am
You have to hit but you be smart about the way you hit. I like the way Saban does it. Bama will hit plenty in spring practice and get used to the contact, but they don't tackle to the ground. His theory is most of the injuries occur on the ground or going down to the ground. The last couple of years they've been a pretty healthy team and still one of the toughest out there.

Rennie Curran called. He wants to discuss the term powderpuff with you. now be a good little nerd, go blow up your doll for your date and go to the Varsity for some chili dogs.

I think you always have to protect the QB unless you've got a another good one one the bench and you protect your best player or "cornerstone" (most talented or best leadership) player, other than the QB.
August 18th, 2009
9:23 am
Injuries happen during football practice, regardless of whether its during full scrimmage or by freak accidents. Look at what happened to Roddy Jones, just lifting weights this off-season.
Jaybo Shaw hurt his shoulder when someone fell on him; not from a viscous hit. Last season, Josh Nesbitt's injuries could be attributed to things other than hard hits on the playing field during games but getting his ankles rolled up on by linemen, etc. These things can happen whether these kids are wearing a red shirt during practice or not.
I guess my point is that having these kids going at full speed before the season starts, including in full pads, will at least give them an opportunity to get a good feel for what the conditions will be like once the season begins so that they'll have a better chance of protecting themselves once the opponents are coming at them at full speed.

Talk about m all you want, but do yourself a favor and don't make any comparisons between a GT education and the salary it commands versus a UGA education and the salary it commands. You're no where in the same league.
August 18th, 2009
9:26 am
There's a fine line between "playing through an injury" and aggravating an existing condition. Young players don't always know the difference. Players want to play, and will sometimes try to hide the true extent of an injury, fearing the loss of playing time. Good coaches and trainers must know the difference and recognize the problem. Some injuries are unavoidable (that's why they're called accidents); others result from the player or coach doing something foolish. It's better to bench an injured Percy Harvin for a game or two than lose him for the season. When a player is obviously limping or favoring an injury, it's time for the trainer and possibly the team doctor to have a look-see.
Injuries typically occur in full-contact practice, not conditioning. Coaches must know when and for how long to allow their players to hit at 100%, and its not 100% of full-contact practices. Few skill players can take 10-15 hours of 100% hits in weekly practices (that's 10 to 15 times what a starter will take in a game), and no smart coach structures his practices that way.

Proper practice precautions should include not hitting a teammate while he's in a vulnerable position. Play hard, hit hard, but don't take kill shots against your own team.
Sometimes injuries occur even while taking adequate precautions….it happens. Team depth usually determines who survives to play for the title at the end of the season.
August 18th, 2009
9:38 am
The game is played fast. If a team does not go full speed, it is impossible to develop the timing that is required to execute. Unfortunately, injuries are part of the game. A team that plays with the QB deep or is predominately a passing team, can do some things to protect the QB. But, if the plan is to run a quick hitting, option style offense, it is vital that full speed practice be used to develop the split second decision making that is required to win.

GT que,
would love to engage in civil conversation/debate with a Techster. Hasn't happened in my 50 years on the planet.
All I get is the same stereotypical garbage about how you are better than me just because you went to Tech. When you want to discuss college football in a civilized manner, let me know. Until then, all I have to go on are idiots like "m" who spew his nonsense about UGA football despite the fact UGA has won 70% of the time vs GT in the last 3 decades and holds an overall 20 + game advantage in the head-to-head series.
We also have the best coach at UGA we have ever had(including Dooley) and we have actually won our conference and made BCS bowl games and finished rated higher in the polls as compared to the preseason prediction 6 out of 8 years under Richt.
Coach Johnson is a fine coach. He tutored under Erk. Here's hoping there are 22 wins between the 2 teams when we meet in ATL.
August 18th, 2009
9:45 am
Is Rennie Curran new? Or is he one of the little powderpuff dawgies that got left in the diesel fumes of Jonathan Dwyer and Roddy Jones.
Paul Johnson is like a train…he will run over you…back up…..and run over you again…of course you dawgies have already experienced that first hand.
45-42…glad is still hurts so bad.

GT que,
See above post.
I rest my case.
August 18th, 2009

I think it's mostly luck. UGA had terrible luck with injuries last year, Bama and GA Tech to name a couple, had great luck with nearly no injuries. This year UGA is having pretty good luck (knock on wood) to date and the injury bug has hit Tech. Just luck…
August 18th, 2009

DawginLex, I don't recall ever slamming the GA Bulldogs even once during any of my posts. I may have come down hard on a few posters, but I think I've been pretty even-handed between the UGA and GA tech juveniles…

Today's football players come across as being soft than the players from the 50's and 60's and 70's who would put some dirt on a liitle problem and take a asprin for pain relief!! ROLL TIDE FOLKS!!
August 18th, 2009
9:52 am
How is it harsh?
Read "m"'s posts. You think he wants to engage in anything civil or for that matter discuss anything in an adult manner?
He is so delusional it is absurd.
ACC was 6-4 vs the SEC last year according to m. I guess that bowl beatdown doesn't fit his agenda so he doesn't count it.
Just an example. There are countless others.
August 18th, 2009
9:53 am
Maybe you are the exception to the rule. I would like to think so.
August 18th, 2009

You didn't answer the question…where was Rennie Curran last year??? Oh, that's what I thought.
If I played powderpuff, I would be over there in Athens with your fluff puppies.

August 18th, 2009
9:55 am
The ACL tears usually have nothing to do with contact. They often occur when a player is just trying to make a cut. Not a whole lot you can do about that.
Bama has been lucky in regard to avoiding injuries but Bama Aaron was right about the way we avoid injuries. Since most injuries occur on the ground because obviously the ground doesn't give Saban has his players try to avoid tackling to the ground.
Utah, nice little dig there about us not tackling so well against Utah. That's okay. We still tackled well enough to win about 12 other games. Not to many programs that could say that last year. I imagine you're a fan of one of those programs that can't say that and hence you live vicariously through Utah.

I kinda noticed that too. Never did understand how m or some of the other ACC fans conveniently ignore the 2 bowl beatdowns. Or the fact that 5 of the 6 SEC wins were by blowout proportions of 23 or more points or that overall we outscored the ACC by a whopping 119 points in those 12 games.
I guess some folks just don't let the facts get in the way of their argument.
August 18th, 2009
10:02 am
It's a man's game,hate the injuries but that's why we have 85 and that's why we love it so. Choose your depth wisely, you may need it more than you think.
August 18th, 2009
10:03 am
I've got to disagree with you about Dooley. He won a lot of SEC titles (7?), won a national title, played for another a couple of years later. Even after Hershel left he beat a #2, unbeaten Texas team in the Cotton Bowl. Played for yet another title in '76 against a Dorsett led, unbeaten Pitt team. He owned the Gators and Jackets, and held his own with Auburn and Alabama, and never lost to underdogs. Went to Ann Arbor and beat defending nat champ Michigan… I could go on but won't. Mark Richt may become the best ever at UGA, but he's not yet…
August 18th, 2009

Maybe you need more evidence on your fluff puppies:
45-42…glad it still hurts so bad!!
August 18th, 2009
10:08 am
Dooley was a great coach but the SEC was watered down compared to today. UT was horrible most of the time and Florida went through coaches like Tech does.
Dooley had too many 6-5 and 7-4 seasons. Richt's worse year was his first at 8-4. I just believe richt works in a much tougher environment today than Dooley did.
They are both quality coaches.

I think it's less about how hard a team practices but how "smart" they pratice. As a coach, you want to prepare your team for any kind of situation, and you want your team to play with great technique. You instill this during the summer. But at the same time, it's counterproductive for a team to beat themselves to death. Injuries happen, but to me technique is key. You teach the players basic techinques in drills( foot work, hand placement, pursuit angles), then you have the test their skills in live contact drills. Technique is what players will default to in adverse situations, and if you get away from the fundamentals too much it will cost you in games. I think this is what happened with UGA last year. Sometimes coaches, when they know they have more talent, will get away from fundamentals and allow their team to cost on their athletic abilities. UGA was a little too finesse last season and not enough smash mouth. In 2007 they had both, which is why they finished the way they did.
August 18th, 2009
10:23 am
When you get down to 11 players, stop the contact!!!I would rather play with walk-ons who will wrap up and drive on a tackle than a five star shoulder bumping scholarship player. I always thought coaching cliche #1 was you play like you practice. But I guess the Dawgs did last year.

What Happens in Vegas…
I know I am defying the rules.
The "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" rule. Sorry, but bloggers can't live by that. It is only natural to snap of photo of everything you see or eat on vacation. It won't matter if people give me the "why is she taking a picture of her food" look. I highly doubt I'll ever see these people again. With that being said, here is my Las Vegas timeline.
Vegas happened too fast. My trip is a blurred and hasty memory. As I try to put the pieces together, my head is throbbing with frustration. I diagnosed myself with a vacation coma. Thank goodness my camera stores pictures in order, or this post would be disastrous than I already foresee it being. Sorry for the lack of organization and typos that will appear in this post. I am fully prepared for the grammar police to pull me over. I tried to pull myself together, but unfortunately they don't make drugs for vacation comas.
Jeremy and I took off from Atlanta at 4 p.m. (Georgia time) I hadn't eaten dinner yet. My stomach was growling loud enough to cause the person next to me give the "would you be quite" stare. When the flight attendant came around with the bag of pretzels, I was relieved. Even though they were only 45 calories and bitsy as an ant, they kept me content during the flight. I stayed busy reading the new Health magazine with Jillian Michaels (which I highly recommend) and Fifty Shades of Grey.
We landed in Vegas four hours later.
I will be honest. I wasn't that excited about this trip to Vegas. It was Jeremy's idea. I assumed it was going to be crazy. I pictured naked hookers and meat-heads partying in the streets. You know? Just like Hollywood portrays it to be. I decided to be open-minded and make the best of it.
My stereo type for Vegas was immensely off. It was nothing like I pictured it to be. Vegas includes an artsy side with a lot of classy places to visit. Don't get me wrong, there are parts similar the movies, but we didn't bump into many of those.
When we checked into our Hotel, the front desk upgraded us to a colossal suite. We were puzzled to why they had done this, but we were extremely excited! I don't know if any of you are fans of The Hills or Laguna Beach, but I had a L.C. moment. Every time they take their trips, they walk into the hotel room with an "oh my gosh" look. They start checking out all the rooms and screaming each others name. J eremy and I immediately dropped our bags and reacted the same. We had a marvelous view of the city, two rooms, two bathrooms that had T.V.s in them and a Jacuzzi. We felt like royalty.
Jeremy and I flew his parents to Vegas for a well-deserved get a way. We were all equally hungry, so we met them down at the Mandalay Bay buffet.
Coffee was the first word that came out of my mouth when the waiter took our drink orders. I'm sure that is not a shock for all of you. I am surprised coffee wasn't my first word as a baby.
I had a half and half packet in my coffee with one packet of sugar. All they had was sweet n low, so I settled for the real deal.
The buffet looked fabulous. There was an abundant amount of healthy options with fresh fruit and vegetables. I knew I was going to eat a ton this trip, but I still wanted my choices to be healthy. You can splurge without fearing the scale or over using the gym when you return home. You just have to splurge smartly.
Buffets scare the majority of people who are trying to eat healthier. Buffets don't intimidate me at all. I prefer them. I like making my own choices and choosing what goes onto my plate. Buffets give me that option.
My first (yes, first) plate consisted of: cooked shrimp, mixed steamed vegetables, some kind of Chinese green vegetable, asparagus, a red potato, crab legs and a chunk of salmon.
I was still hungry. To prevent myself from eating the entire buffet, I had a bowl of fruit to allow my stomach to settle for a couple minutes before making another trip. Fruit keeps you from overeating. It is rich with water and fiber to help your stomach feel fuller.
My second plate consisted of: pineapple, asparagus, cooked shrimp, breaded salmon and a garden salad. I was finally content. I wasn't shooting for miserably full or I'd have to be rolled out of there.
After a long day of preparation and travel, I was exhausted.
Friday was going to be a long day filled with walking and touring. We decided to call it a night. I relaxed in the Jacuzzi, then turned on the T.V. and dosed off. I figured I would have slept like a baby because the bed was heavenly soft, but I kept waking up. I don't know if the time difference was the culprit, or because I ate late. I was restless all through the night.
I woke up hours before everyone else.
I didn't want to be rude and wake Jeremy up, so I headed downstairs to the cafe to pick up fresh fruit and coffee. I like to eat right when I wake up to boost the metabolism. I knew it would be hours before Jeremy even rolled over.
To sweeten my fruit, I used honey. This was a much better option than the other, Sweet n Low.
I went through two cups of coffee in the first hour. Unfortunately, they don't do refills. I had to pay full price for two. As a coffee addict, cost is just a number.
After giving up cable in January, T.V. doesn't interest me anymore. I put on my gym shoes and decided to walk the the mall. Yes, our hotel had it's own mall. Still mind-blown about it.
I may have stopped at a few slots while making my way around the hotel casino…I broke out of my shell this weekend. I should have had 1-800-bets-off on my speed dial. I now understand why people form gambling addictions. Once you win…and win again…you never want to stop! It's a good thing I don't live in Vegas. I can still see the slot machines go round and around in my head.
Finally, I got the text from Jeremy…."Where'd you go"…I headed back upstairs. I brought him a whole wheat bagel and cream cheese on the way up to the nineteenth floor. I thought it was a nice gesture since bagels are his favorite.
He's a guy, so he was happy to see his bagel. He leaned in to kiss me good morning, then snatched the bagel bag like a thief I felt robbed. As he started eating, we got a text from his parents "come meet us for breakfast". Uh oh! We already ate! It was going to be a long day full of walking, so maybe eating again wasn't a bad idea. I was already getting hungry. I had only eaten half of my fruit and had been awake for hours being productive and stuff… (walking the mall and gambling my life away).
His parents wanted to eat the the Mandalay buffet. That's right! Two buffets in less than 24 hours. I could have easily dove into the blueberry pancakes, banana nut muffins or french toast. Instead, I decided to nourish my body and go for fresh fruit and yogurt bar. All of the starchy options would have left me hungry in a few hours.
My first plate had : strawberry yogurt, spoonful of almonds, granola, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, apricots, blackberries, grapes and a little portion of the scrambled eggs.
Sometimes I think I have a tapeworm. I can eat more food than my body size. Healthy food of course. I went back for more. I grabbed the same choice but with a piece of crepe and pineapple this time.
I guess my eyes were bigger than my stomach. I stirred everything up, contemplating a finish, but there was no way. The second plate was too much. I threw in the towel! My face was starting to look like Adam Richman's during his food challenge days.
After breakfast, Jeremy's parents hit the casino and we hit the strip. We walked from 10 am to 6 pm, covering about ten miles of Vegas! I was in awe of the impressive architecture and art. The buildings were miraculous inside and decorated with a royal style.
People watching was my favorite.
We lucked out with the weather. It was almost eighty degrees. I was excited to wear my sundress. I made a mistake by wearing my new shoes. My feet were killing me! As the sun went down, Jeremy and I made our way back to the hotel to meet his parents.
All that walking made us HUNGRY! Anything sounded good. The hotel stocked our room up with all kinds of junk food. All my favorites: Pringles, Peanut M&M's, Snickers, chocolate chip cookies, cashews, Sour Patch Kids and salty trail mix. We could have easily ripped open the bags and ate till we were satisfied, but we didn't. Thank goodness we have self control as the fine print said each bag was fifteen dollars.
Luckily, I had leftover fruit from earlier that morning. I grabbed it from the mini fridge and ate the rest to hold me over until dinner. I relaxed in the Jacuzzi again, then got ready for the night.
We headed to old Vegas, Fremont street. This is where the crazies are! There were all kinds of people. People wearing feathers, to people wearing nothing, to transformers and movie murderers. Its almost possible to be bored here. Everyone was getting hungry. We stopped at another buffet, the Golden Nugget. Yep, that's right…my third buffet!
This time, I decided to go lighter on the dinner plate. I had a huge sweet tooth. My plate had: vegetable shrimp stir fry, steamed broccoli, crab legs and a salad with a side of dressing.
I have this method when it comes to buffet desserts. How can you say no to all the delicious treats screaming your name? Instead of putting a whole brownie, cookie or piece of pie onto my dessert plate, I add little sample pieces. That way I get a little taste of everything without going overboard on the sugar. There are usually broken pieces of dessert on the trays, so I grab those. On my dessert plate I have: apple pie cobbler fudge brownie, raisin oatmeal cookie, carrot cake and whipped butterscotch ice cream with a cinnamon sugar chip. It doesn't look like I have six desserts on my plate, but that is the beauty of the "sample-method". It's all about moderation splurges, not binge splurges.
My eyes were starting to get heavy. I always get tired and go overboard on vacations, so I ordered some coffee for an extra boost.
After playing hours of casino games, I was so ready to head back to the hotel and crawl into bed for some shut eye. When we got to the hotel , Jeremy pointed out the "karaoke night" sign at the House of Blues. I rolled my eyes and knew exactly what he was thinking. There was no fighting it, we all headed in and grabbed a table.
Jeremy and his dad, Greg, love watching people sing. We sat there for about fifteen minutes before his family secretly signed me up. I was already tired and now mad on top of that! I did not want to sing. But, I did it for Greg and ended up getting an extra $100 out of the deal.
Finally 2 AM rolled around. I was ready to leave the House of Blues. As we walked through our hotel casino, Jeremy couldn't resist the craps table. We stopped and decided to play the extra $100. I wasn't kidding when I said we needed 1-800-bets-off during this trip.
After playing the table, we turned our $100 into an easy $600. Again, I felt the gambling problem increase…you just keep winning…and winning…
Finally, I dragged Jeremy back to the room and refused to make any more "stops". At that point, I would have paid $600 to get some sleep.
Another Vegas morning had arrived.
This time I woke up a little later…7 am. I can't sleep when I am anxious to start the day. And how could I not be anxious? I was in Vegas! I grabbed my workout clothes and headed down to the fitness center at the hotel. I did a nice jog and weight session. I was surprised to see an empty fitness center. How do these Vegas goers look so good if they don't hit the gym? I must be missing something.
On the way back up, I grabbed a little fruit tray from the cafe and a couple coffees.
After showering and getting dressed, I sat down to read a book with my fruit and coffee. I left my laptop at home to prevent wasting my time getting caught up in Facebook or Pinterest. A book is much easier to put down than closing up a laptop during a Pinterest session. Am I right?
A couple hours later, Jeremy's parents met us for breakfast down at the Mandalay bay buffet…yup…my fourth buffet in one weekend!
This time, I had: yogurt with granola, blueberries, pineapple, melon, blackberries, a scoop of scrambled egg and a slice of french toast. I grabbed the apple and took it with me for my long day ahead. I learned my lesson and didn't go back for another plate.
Jeremy, his parents and I headed down the strip. We did a ton of walking until we got to the Cosmopolitan. I bet you can guess what we did…yup…gambled. I played slots and left a winner, and so did everyone else! It was getting late, so we all headed back to the Mandalay.
When we got back to the hotel, I caved. I opened up the room's $4.00 K-cup coffee. Such a rip off, but only coffee addicts understand.
We relaxed a little, watched T.V and got ready for the night out on the strip.
We decided to have dinner at the Bellagio buffet…yup…my fifth buffet in one weekend! We kept hearing it was one of the best and decided to try it out.
I've never seen anything like it.
They had everything for everyone. It was fat kid's heaven and health nut's heaven all at the same time. I squeezed right between both heavens.
As all buffets go for me, I go in with a method.
Instead of starting off with everything that looked good like: pasta, macaroni, pizza or mashed potatoes, I decided to fill up on greens. My first plate consisted of: grilled salad zucchini, cucumber, bell pepper, dried fruits, romaine, egg whites, cous cous, onions and a side of dressing. This was just a teaser…
For my next plate, I decided to fill up on protein and cooked veggies. My plate had: grilled salad zucchini and squash asparagus, broccolini, shrimp, crab, glazed baby carrots, cous cous, dried fruit and a baby potatoes. I know dried fruit isn't that great for you, but it was so tasty. I never buy it, so once in a while won't kill me. The broccolini was incredible. I can't describe the flavors. All I could think of was getting more!
I was starting to fill up, so I chose to put a piece of pizza on my plate. If I would have put pizza on my plate the first time up, I would have kept going back for more neglecting the vegetables that tasted just as good.
My last plate consisted of: mahi mahi, cheese pizza, grilled salad zucchini, dried fruit, broccolini and a couple seasoned potato wedges. I skipped out on the macaroni and cheese because I was getting full. Good thing I didn't put that on my first plate.
The dessert bar was incredible. It was basically it's own bakery. It had every kind of dessert from every kind of culture.
I have always seen macaroons on Pinterest and in magazines, but had never tried one. At the Bellagio, I finally did. I only planned on taking one bite, but that didn't play out as I planned. I can't describe how delicious it was. It tasted like a brownie flavored Kit-Kat on the outside with brownie batter in the middle. I can't believe I have been missing out on these all my life. Shame on my parents!
If I ever decided to eat until my death, I would go here. Is that crazy to say? Oh well…
After we left the buffet we headed out to the Bellagio Casino and of course…played some games.(sounds better than saying we gambled) Jeremy and I had fun people watching at the Bellagio. The things you see in Vegas….
We were so tired. We ended up leaving his parents there and taking off. Shouldn't it have been the other way around? Where do adults get their energy? As soon as we got back to the hotel we passed out like babies.
Our last day in Vegas was here. I did not want to leave. I was starting to get into a Vegas routine. After devouring my coffee and a tray of fruit, I woke Jeremy up. I wasn't going to let him sleep in this time. We only had six hours to enjoy the day before heading back to the airport. His parents didn't leave until today.
We left the Mandalay and headed a couple miles down the strip. I bought some T-shirts and gifts for friends. The weather was beautiful and we decided to keep walking to soak in the heat.
We stopped at the Venetian for iced coffee. I had one tbsp of half and half in mine. The Venetian is beautiful. It reminded me of Italy. Luckily for my parents, they are staying there this weekend. They will love it. They met and lived in Italy when they were younger.
On our way back, Jeremy and I stopped at the Mirage to see their animal exhibits. I wasn't too interested in that, because I am not a huge fan of animal confinement. I was excited to see the Kardashian Khaos store! Jeremy has way too much patience with me.
Our last stop was the Miracle Mile Mall. I'd love to live in Vegas. There is so much to do and no excuses to be bored. I enjoyed watching all the talented people on the streets and the not-so-talented people (old man dressed in a diaper pretending to be cupid). After we were all shopped out, we headed back to the hotel for our final meal and to say our goodbyes to Jeremy's parents.
I bet you can guess where my last meal was…yup…another buffet! My sixth to be exact! This was going to be my final meal of the day. It would be midnight by the time we landed in Atlanta.
On my plate I had : fruit, kidney beans, shrimp, cucumber, romaine, crab, three bean salad, croutons, a potato and Italian on the side.
The salad was delicious and refreshing. After our long walk on the strip, I felt better about going up for another! After dinner, we headed to the airport to go back to Atlanta. We had an amazing time and I can't wait to go back! I don't have anything negative to say about Vegas! Other than the amount I spent on coffee. Good thing I won it back with my new gambling addiction.
Vacations can be scary to some health nuts, but I made the best of it. I ate healthy and still enjoyed my sweets. I made sure to find time to exercise and stay active. Take advantage of your hotel's fitness center and pool Get out and walk new places instead of taking a taxi. Vacations are apart of your lifestyle and can easily fit into a healthy one. It's all about choices. Don't deprive yourself on vacation, but don't over do it either. Don't have a binge splurge. Have a moderation splurge. Find your happy medium and go with it!

Belmont voters take little time to add money for rescue boat
"It was the quickest town meeting I have ever been associated with," said Selectman Ronald Cormier Jr., who has been a selectmen in town for nine years.
On the proposed budget, Article 7 asked voters to approve $10,000 for the purchase of a rescue and fire suppression boat, with the money to come from the town's Fire/Ambulance Equipment and Apparatus Special Revenue Fund. The town isn't sure yet if it will buy a new or used boat, Cormier said.
The budget committee had recommended $10,000 for the boat, but the selectmen had recommended $25,000.
Voters chose to amend the article to the $25,000 figure.
"There was some discussion and the people felt they needed more for the boat," Cormier said.
Article 4, which would raise $355,000 to replace 3,750 feet of water line within Belmont Village, did not draw much discussion. The town hopes that all of the project's costs would be paid for by a government Community Development Block Grant Program.
Also going without much discussion was Article 6, which asks voters to approve $180,000 for a new fire department ambulance, with the funds to come from the Fire/Ambulance Equipment and Apparatus Special Revenue Fund.
The new ambulance would replace two town ambulances, both of which will be used as trade-ins or sold outright to help pay for the new ambulance.
Voting will take place on March 12 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Belmont High School.

the definition of utopia
Utopia would never succeed unless every one of its members were perfect and good. The reality is, noone can be perfect, much less all of us. We should keep that in mind when adapting our society and governments. The true definition of utopia is a government and community that accepts human faults and takes them into account, and isn't perfect, but does the very best that is possible to make our lives better and more functional

Mar 4 2012: Utopia a the thought of the most perfect way something would work. An ideal situation in any context. Utopia is a place in a metaphysical sense that does not exist.
One could say that utopia on earth would be a world without hunger, catastrophes, criminals and everything else related to bad and evil.

2015 Hyundai Genesis
Hyundai grabbed our attention with its first-generation Genesis. Now, with this second-gen model, the company's job is to keep it. The 2015 Genesis, known internally as "DH," wisely follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, a model that showed the automaker's naked ambition, putting it on the map of not just bargain hunters, but the upwardly mobile, too. The outgoing Genesis proved Hyundai was capable of producing a premium car of superior quality, complete with a plush interior, handsome looks and a relatively sporty driving demeanor, all for the sort of cut-rate price the brand built...

While we've already tested Hyundai's all-new, second-generation Genesis Sedan in its home market, the Korean brand unveiled the American-spec luxury car to the sleep-deprived journalists of Detroit. The big sedan isn't wildly different from its KDM counterpart, boasting the same pair of engines that have done so well in the first-generation car. The ...
The big guns are starting to roll out at the 2013 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. This is the Bisimoto Hyundai Genesis Coupe, the promised 1,000-horsepower monster that was first shown at the end of September. We ventured across the SEMA floor to get an up-close look at this hugely powerful two-door. The list of aftermarket parts fitted to this Genesis Coupe is ...
After we posted the renderings of the 2015 Hyundai Genesis last night, Hyundai issued a full press release revealing some of the details about its next-generation sedan. Set to make its debut at the Detroit Auto Show in a few months, the 2015 Genesis promises to bring a whole new level of styling and technology to the Korean automaker's ...
Hyundai has brought along two high-performance Genesis Coupes to the SEMA Show to augment is huge fleet of Velosters, Elantras and other modified Korean goodies. We've already dropped the knowledge on both the Cosworth Genesis Racing Series Concept (above, right in blue) – tuned by Cosworth, as you can probably tell – and the Genesis Coupe ...
With less than 72 hours until the debut of the refreshed 2013 Genesis Coupe, Hyundai has posted a new teaser video that shows off the car's new styling in gory detail. Well, most of it anyway. Although sworn to secrecy, we've seen the new car up close, so we know exactly where to look to catch all the new cosmetics in the teaser. But trust us when we say ...
In just a few weeks, we'll be feasting our eyes on the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe under the bright lights of the Detroit Auto Show. And while the endless spy shots and leaked images have done a good job of showing us exactly what the new coupe looks like, this in-person video gives us a glimpse of what the new Hyundai sports cars looks like in the wild ...
We already know that the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe will make its debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show in January, but now, details about what's behind that newly sculpted, Veloster-inspired front fascia have finally surfaced. According to Car and Driver, the four- and six-cylinder engines found under the coupe's newly designed hood are coming in for ...
This isn't really shocking news – we've known that Hyundai has been working on a turbocharged version of its new Veloster for quite some time – but it's nice to have official confirmation directly from CEO John Krafcik on the company's Twitter account and via a live announcement at SEMA. The highly anticipated 2013 Veloster Turbo will debut at ...
We're all anxiously waiting to see what Hyundai has up its sleeves for the updated Genesis Coupe, and it looks like we may have a better idea of what's coming down the line. Gencoupe.com forum member shcboyzone managed to lay hands on a few grainy photos of what's appears to be the 2013 Genesis Coupe. Is this the real deal? Hard telling. If it is, the ...
The Chicago Auto Show may be the smallest of the major North American auto shows, but this year proved to be surprisingly bountiful in terms of the number of new cars that were revealed. Sure, many of these new products were merely trim level upgrades, but we saw quite a few big introductions that sparked lengthy discussions amongst the Autoblog ...
The Hyundai Genesis sedan has just received an upgraded 3.8-liter V6 with 333 horsepower and 291 pound-feet, adding 43 more horses and 27 more pound-feet of torque to its accomplishments. The Genesis Coupe, on the other hand, is playing with 306 hp, and according to Hyundai spokesman Jim Trainor, that isn't going to change soon. When we asked if the ...
The current Hyundai Genesis 4.6 sedan, with its 385 horsepower V8, is hardly a slouch. In fact, according to most road tests, the luxury four-door reportedly hits 60 mph in about 5.5 seconds. In an effort to raise the vehicle's performance bar and snuff out those who have complained about the four-door's lack of "sport," Hyundai has pulled the covers of ...
It seems like only yesterday when Hyundai shocked the auto industry with the Genesis Sedan. The hard truth, though, is that the Korean automaker's first foray into the luxury market arrived in 2008 as a 2009 model. Hyundai doesn't intend to rest on its laurels, and new updates for the 2012 model year are being debuted during the Chicago Auto Show this ...
Hyundai's second big unveiling for the LA Auto Show is its next-generation Tucson, its compact crossover. Like the Sonata sedan, we've actually already seen the Tucson for some time now, as it previously debuted South Korea and Europe badged as the ix35 or Tucson ix. We actually first saw this shape as the ix-onic concept at Geneva last March and the ...
If someone hadn't reread the Hyundai press release, we might have totally missed seeing the Genesis Coupe 2.0T R-Spec. Compared to the RM460 and other tuned Coupes in the booth, the R-Spec just didn't sparkle enough for us to pursue it. And perhaps that's the point. The 2.0T R-Spec launches a tuner-friendly line of Hyundai automobiles that have all of ...
It's arrived. Finally. The wickedly awesome Rhys Millen Racing mid-engine V8 version the Hyundai Genesis Coupe is here, and it took every fiber of our being not to hop in and drive it off the SEMA show floor. The RM460 is why we're in Sin City -- it's the embodiment of the originality and DIY-ethic of the aftermarket extravaganza in Vegas. Its Genesis ...
John Hennessey is no stranger to extracting power from already quick cars and giving them a unique appearance.

Over the years, thousands of cars with custom paint jobs have littered the floor at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas. But almost all of them arrive already painted and ready to show. At next week's SEMA Show in Las Vegas, however, Street Concepts will be showing off a special Hyundai Genesis Sedan that will arrive at ...
We've been keeping tabs on Rhys Millen Racing and their construction of a V8-powered, mid-engine Hyundai Genesis Coupe for the last few weeks. Called the RM460 Genesis Coupe, this car will make its official debut at SEMA in early November, but we've got the first rendering of the exterior right here for ya. As we've mentioned before, the engine is the ...

NEW YORK — The New York Jets are expanding their search for a general manager, setting up interviews with Miami Dolphins assistant GM Brian Gaine and Pittsburgh Steelers executive Omar Khan.
The Jets will meet with former Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo on Thursday, the New York Daily News also reported Wednesday night, citing an anonymous source.
Mike Tannenbaum was fired by owner Woody Johnson on Dec. 31 after seven seasons as GM.
The Jets previously interviewed David Caldwell, hired by the Jacksonville Jaguars; the San Francisco 49ers' Tom Gamble, the New York Giants' Marc Ross and Jets assistant GM Scott Cohen.
Gaine is a New York native who worked for Bill Parcells with the Jets, Dallas Cowboys and the Dolphins.
Khan has played a key part in contract negotiations for the Steelers since 2001. A month shy of 36, he has been a target for other teams in recent seasons. Among them: the Seattle Seahawks in 2010 and the St. Louis Rams last year.

Am I At Risk for Carcinoma of Unknown Primary Origin?
Certain factors can make you more likely to get cancer than another person. These are called risk factors.�Because doctors do not know why, how, or where cancer of unknown primary origin (CUP), it is hard to identify risk factors for it.
Doctors do know, however, that smoking is a risk factor for many kinds of cancer.�Certain foods have been linked to cancers of the stomach, colon, or rectum, which are all possible sources of CUP. Melanoma, a type of skin cancer, is another source of CUP. Finally, a certain family cancer history may also be considered a risk factor. If more than�one close relative, such as a grandparent, parent, or sibling, has been diagnosed with colorectal, ovarian, or breast cancer, your risk for cancer may increase. Taking steps to lower your risk for cancer,�such as quitting smoking, eating�more fruits and vegetables, exercising regularly, and�using sunscreen, may also lower your risk for CUP.

Now in her second year at the helm is Shantel Twiggs.
The former track standout and All-American at Northern Iowa was inducted into her alma mater's Hall of Fame in 2005.
Twiggs came to Nevada from Northern Illinois where she spent the previous three seasons resurrecting the Huskies' program. When Twiggs took over the program in the winter of 2000, the team had not competed in 18 years. Since that time, her athletes broke more than 14 school records. The 2003-04 season saw the school's first NCAA Mid-East Regional qualifiers when two Huskies finished 25 and 30th, respectively, in the shot put. One of those throwers, Ashley Morrow, was named to the All-Mid American Conference second team, also a first for the program.
Before coaching at NIU, Twiggs was an assistant coach for three years at her alma mater, Northern Iowa. During her tenure at Northern Iowa, Twiggs coached the men's and women's sprinters to more than 10 school records and two dozen all-conference honors. In her final season, she coached five NCAA Division I qualifiers with one gaining All-America honors at the indoor track and field championships.
Twiggs can also claim two Missouri Valley Conference Championships Athletes of the Meet to her coaching resume, as Marshall Frazier took home the award at the 2000 MVC indoor meet and Devon Davis nabbed the title at the 1999 outdoor competition. She also worked heavily in recruiting for the Panthers' program and assisted with the Northern Iowa cross country teams.
The 32-year-old Twiggs was an all-conference sprinter for the Panthers from 1990-94, earning All-MVC honors six times in her career. She also won All-American honors her senior season when she placed sixth in the 55-meters at the NCAA Indoor Championships as well as earning All-America distinction in the outdoor 200-meters. Additionally, Twiggs placed sixth in the 200-meter dash at the U.S. Track & Field Outdoor Championships that summer.
Overall, she qualified for the NCAA's eight times with two provisional qualifying marks while at Northern Iowa and is the owner and co-owner of 13 school records. She has been a member of three U.S. National Teams (US vs Great Britain, 1994; World Cup, 1994; and Pan Am Games, 1995) leading off the gold medal 4x100-meter relay team at the Pan Am Games in 1995. She also won gold and bronze medals at the 1994 Olympic Festival as the anchor leg of the 4x100-meter relay team and the 200-meters, respectively.
Twiggs received her bachelor of arts degree in chemistry and marketing from Northern Iowa in 1995. After graduation, she worked as an assistant track coach and substitute teacher for the Ferguson-Florissant School District in Berkeley, Mo., before returning to her alma mater in 1997. She is a member of both the US Track Coaches Association of America (USTCA) and USA Track & Field.

BBQ Road Trip - Please Advise
- mrgreenbeenz Jul 9, 2008 10:53 AM
Moving from East Coast to West Coast (again...) and decided this time to veer through the South/Deep South in order to seek out the country's most delicious pig (and maybe some cattle once I hit Texas)
Planning to make first stop in Chapel Hill - Lexington BBQ is at the top of my list - then head down through North Georgia on my way to Dallas. My route is pretty flexible though it's not likely I'll hit anything south of I-10. Thinking Route 82 across AL and MS - but I'm open to suggestions.
I'll probably go North Louisiana into Dallas and then up Route 287 through W Texas.
Any suggestions on where to find the best eats along roughly that route would be seriously appreciated.
re: quazi
You probably should consider going west on I-40 from Chapel Hill. You could then consider a place in Bluff City, Tennessee (eastern part of the state), that gets raves. Believe it's name is the Ridgewood or Ridgeway. Then you could also go through Memphis (western part of the state), which has what many consider the best BBQ joints in the South. From there it's easy to go south to Dallas, through any number of routes. But if you take I-40, you'll miss north Georgia. Not far off I-40 in Nashville (about halfway across Tennessee) is a great breakfast joint, the Loveless Motel and Restaurant. One way to go from Memphis is straight south through the Mississippi Delta, (I-55). Lotsa great restaurants down that way, especially along the famous River Road.
I 40 brings you right by White Bluff , TN, 20 miles west of Nashville and the home of Carl's Perfect Pig. Be warned though Carl has family obligations and he's only open Tuesday through Saturday and he closes around 6pm. His ribs are roasted, yet they are without a doubt perfect. Oh, the yellow squash and cheese is superb. Did I mention the corn cakes. Don't forget to report on your trip.
re: Cameraman
unfortunately most of the good SC Q is in the eastern part of the state.
tough call between going through say memphis and AL/MS.
john edge's "southern belly" would be worth checking out if you haven't already. he details quite a few excellent, off-the-beaten path restaurants.
and if you're going through texas and want Q, if you can swing toward austin (lockhart and other "nearby" towns) you can visit some of their heavy hitters. the latest(?) issue of texas monthly had their top 50 in the state of texas.
re: chili367
Yeah, I'd vote for I-10 through TX, with side trips to Lockhart, Austin, and Llano.
re: ted
Definitely agree on going to Lockhart, TX. It's a town obsessed with BBQ- I accidentally started an argument between three old ladies in a gift shop about what type of wood to use for BBQ. Smitty's (on courthouse square) was my favorite for brisket and beef sausage, though Black's was also good.
re: chili367
All Southerners should be required to read this book!
Rib's Shack in Greenwood Mississippi. Greenwood is on the Blues Heritage Trail and is deeply authentic, possibly even stuck in the Fifties. Looks like Mayberry. Muddy Yazoo River runs through it. Rib's Shack is just out of downtown and run by two guys. Meat's really really smokey. There are other que places in town, too, that I haven't tried, so it's a really promising stop.
re: fluffernutter
Thanks, that's right on my route. Will definitely check it out. Any word on Ubon's in Yazoo City?
re: mrgreenbeenz
My expertise doesn't extend to Yazoo City -- sorry. I usually drive to Greenwood to catch the train the NOLA, so Greenwood's all I know. There are other great places in Greenwood, too, including Lusco's and the Crystal Diner.
re: tennreb
Love the Memphis BBQ - I've done it before and am rolling further south on this particular venture.
If you are coming through North Georgia, check out Sam & Dave's #1 or #2 in Marietta, north of Atlanta...or the Pig N Chik in Roswell.
I don't know Lexington BBQ, but definitely try Allen and Son - see http://www.chowhound.com/topics/135133 . The Q Shack in Durham is also good (but I prefer their beef brisket to their pork) - http://www.theqshackoriginal.com/.
re: truman
i do need to get back to allen and son's. i prefer the barbecue joint in chapel hill, but to be fair i need to get back to allen and sons -- it's been a couple of years. neither are in the same league as lexington #1.
the only thing to get at the Q shack is brisket. it's amazing they can make such good brisket and terrible pork in the same kitchen.
if you want to experience great pork bbq in nc, go east,east nc bbq is the best, it's chopped pork with a vingar based sauce. I reccommend a place called parkers bbq in wilson nc. i've been eatting their bbq for 20 years, and I don't even live in nc (i'm in va.). Growing up my family visited friends in wilson twice a year, and every visit we ate at parkers, repeatedly. Now that I am grow, I still visit parkers once a year, while traveling to the beach. I once forced my best friend to take a 20 minute detior to eat at parker's. She complained about the side trip untill she tasted the bbq. On the return trip, she decided to take the detour again, to eat more parker's. My annual beach trip begins saturday, and I have been ordered by my beach buddies 2 pick up the parkers bbq for everyone (even my friend who doesn't eat pork, loves parker's). If you go with a group, they have great family style dinning. Chopped pork, vingar based slaw, brunswick stew, boiled potatoes, and corn sticks, more then anyone could possible eat, served with pitchers of sweet tea with crushed ice (truly southern). If dining in one's or two's, get the fried chicken and chopped pork platter, comes with slaw, and corn sticks, and your choice of sides. The is no need for a bun with this bbq.

The Oakville District of Napa Valley has produced Napa Valley's most sought after Cabernet Sauvignons for 130 years. Perhaps the most famous of all the district's producers, Robert Mondavi has been producing Oakville District Cabernet Sauvignons for 50 years. Designated an American Viticultural Area (AVA) in 1993, the Oakville District region is noted for well-drained soils that allow deep rooting and the development of complex flavors in the grapes.
After grapes were gently destemmed and crushed, we fermented the must with a combination of native (wild) and cultured yeast for layers of complexity. To naturally soften the grape tannins and develop varietal complexity, we gave the wine 37 days of skin contact. A long malolactic fermentation conducted entirely in barrels enhanced the wine's depth and body. During 17 months in small French oak barrels (45% new oak), the wine was racked barrel-to-barrel several times and lightly fined with fresh egg whites. Between rackings, the wine was left undisturbed for optimal clarity. These gentle winemaking techniques allowed us to bottle this Cabernet Sauvignon without filtration to fully retain its complex flavors and long aging potential. This is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot and 1% Malbec.
Great with Rack of Lamb, Beef Tenderloin, and Grilled Flank Steak.
"Ripe, rich and plush, with complex currant, herb, tea and cedar notes supported by rich, loamy tannins and hints of mocha and berry on the finish. A gorgeous young Cabernet. Best from 2004 through 2011. "

"A very nice wine that smells great. Opens with perfumed scents of black currant and oak. Quite soft in the mouth, with thoroughly melted tannins and low acids. Could use a little bit more structure, but it's seductive stuff. "

It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon
