Lunch Time0 Reviews
The bell rung again, Mr. Bunsen dismissed us quickly, and everyone pilled back into the hall.
I looked down at my schedule again, Second period, Art Class, at least it was something I actually like.
I looked around for the right Room and found it since it had a big sign over it that said art.
I entered, again one of the first ones in there.
I looked around and to see if there was anyone I remember from earlier, and soon spotted that same blonde cat that bumped into me earlier, and to her side, uh, Larry.
Other than those two didn't recognize anyone in here.
Suddenly a bright flashy peacock walked by me, he was dressed in one of those fancy rich kid uniforms, and he walked with a so called elegant feeling.
I found a seat, and a leopard with a paint stained apron and white lab coat on, stepped in front of the board.
"Good morning everyone, my name is Mrs. Wax, and I will be your art teacher for the year." Her voice was sweet and calm.
"Now, in this box is a block of wood, I want you to carve it into the first thing that comes to mind to you. This will help define the way you see and think of art."
We all grabbed a block of wood and a carving knife and got to carving.
I had no idea what I wanted to carve, I just started hacking away at the wood.
I could hear the peacock kid complaining about the splintering wood, what a whiner.
I turned and looked at the girl from earlier she looked like she was carving some sort of fish or something.
I really wasn't paying attention at what I was carving, I looked down and saw it looked somewhat like a knife or something, suddenly my hand slipped, and I cut into the palm of my hand.
I walked quickly to Mrs. Wax's desk, my hand bleeding badly.
"Uh, Mrs. Wax" I said.
She looked up from her desk and I showed her my bleeding hand.
She quickly rushed me to the sink and rinsed of my hand with water.
"Alissa, could you pleas walk Jacob down to the nurse?" She said looking up from the sink.
She looked up from her carving, and smiled when she saw me.
"Of course I will." She said placing aside her carving.
So her name was Alissa. I was in such a hurry, before I hardly had a chance to ask her what her name was.
We walked out of the Art Room, making our way towards the office.
"So, how bad is that cut?" She asked out of curiosity.
I took of the towel and revealed my cut.
"Oh man, that must hurt."
"It does." I said.
I glanced down at my cut, it was still bleeding pretty badly, but something was odd. The pain was being masked by a stomach churning sensation, it felt...well...somewhat good.
Just the feeling of blood trickling down my skin, it was indescribable.
"Um, hello? You there?" Alissa said snapping me out of my little state of mind.
"Oh, sorry. I kinda zoned out."
"I can see that."
We arrived at the office, and I went into a room labeled nurse on it.
The nurse was a anteater with some strange tiny glasses right in front of her eyes.
"Excuse me?" I said peaking into her office.
"Yes? Do you need something?" She asked.
I showed her my hand.
"Oh Dear." She said leading me inside her office.
"How did that happen?"
"I cut myself in Art Class."
She wrapped my hand in bandages.
"If the bleeding doesn't stop bleeding by lunch time, go see a doctor." She instructed
She handed me a late pass and sent me off.
The bell rang before I made it back to class, and all the students piled into the halls.
I stopped by the Art Room and grabbed my things before I went to my next destination.
I looked at my schedule and saw I had A lunch next, so I went down to the lunchroom.
The School lunches weren't so great but I grabbed a plate of food and went off to find a seat.
I looked around and saw Alissa and Larry sitting at a table alone.
I went over and sat down next to them, I didn't eat much, but I did stare at my bandaged hand.
"Man, that's a big cut, can you still move your hand?" Alissa asked.
"Yeah, I can still write and all that but, I'll probably bleed some more."
I could see the blood piling up under the bandages.
Suddenly that Peacock kid sat down in front of me with a sack lunch.
"What, your not gonna try the school food?" Larry asked.
"Are you mad? Do you have any idea what they put in those things?" He replied.
"You're always so fussy, James, lighten up." Alissa said.
"Look I want to watch my weight and you don't know how many empty calories could be in that food?"
"Whatever." Alissa said rolling her eyes.
The looked over at me. I was still fascinated by the blood in my hand.
"You know staring at that thing isn't gonna make it heal faster." James said.
I looked up.
"I know, I'm just board."
"You haven't even touched that." Larry said pointing at my plate.
"I'm not hungry." I said.
Then the bell rang.
I tossed out my uneaten food and went off to my next class.
On the way out I peeked into the kitchen and saw one of the lunch ladies behead and pluck a duck.
Blood sprayed everywhere, it makes you wonder how they keep the kitchen clean.

This recipe is incredibly simple but so tasty that I'm writing about it just in case it has not yet occurred to you to make spinach this way as I would hate for you to miss out on it.Fresh spinach, lots of garlic, some shallot or onion, olive oil, salt and pepper - that is it! It's delicious and super good for you, too.You can also create a variation on this recipe by adding some dried currants, toasted pine nuts and a splash of balsamic vinegar if you feel like getting wild (though it is plenty good without those additions, too.)Simple Sautéed Spinach With Garlic
Serves 4-6
* 2 bunches fresh spinach leaves, washed thoroughly
* 4-6 cloves of garlic, minced or pressed (you can use less if you prefer, I just really like garlic)
* 1 large shallot or small onion, chopped
* 3-4 tsps olive oil
* Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
* 1 Tbsp butter (optional)
1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over a medium flame then add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften. Add the garlic and sautée for another 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are translucent and the garlic releases its fragrance.
2. Add the spinach to the pan in small batches, stirring to help expose all the leaves to the heat. As it wilts, add more handfuls of spinach until it is all wilted. Season with salt and pepper and add the (optional) butter - stir to combine and serve.

Columbia, Mo. - On a gorgeous Missouri afternoon five of seven Tigers earned impressive wins over opponents from SMU, Illinois and Louisville. The women faced the toughest competition they've seen this fall as they welcomed three teams whom were all ranked in the top 75 nationally less than a year ago. Play began at 10:30 a.m. Friday morning at the Green Tennis Center in Columbia. With temperatures in the mid 70's all day the women were able to take advantage of the outdoor courts and finished around 3:00 pm.
The day began with a round of doubles including three different mini-draws. Once the doubles matches were complete singles matches followed. The singles play also included three separate mini-draws.
In the Pink, Black and Gold 1 bracket Jamie Mera, Kaitlyn Ritchie and Jessica Giuggioli represented Missouri. Giuggioli would record the first win for the Tigers with a default as her opponent struggled with a foot injury and opted out of the first singles match. Ritchie faced Jo-Ann Van Aerde of Louisville. The women went back and forth during the entire first set but Van Aerde was able to just edge Ritchie 7-6. Van Aerde went on to win the second set 6-1 and moved on to tomorrow's semi-final round. Mera went into three sets with Illinois' sophomore Marisa Lambropoulos. After taking the first set 6-4, Mera dropped the second 1-6, but wasn't quite done. In the tie-breaking match Mera battled hard and was able to land several points on Lambropoulos. Mera earned the win with a 6-3 decision in the third set.
Mizzou went undefeated in the Pink, Black and Gold 2 bracket as Mallory Weber and Sofia Ayala both carded Tiger wins. Playing side-by-side under the sun the pair took each of their matches in two sets over opponents from SMU. Weber finished first with a victory over Megan Garlich, 6-4, 6-2. Ayala followed suit earning the win, 6-4, 7-5, over Sophie Quest.
As the day wound down several spectators and players headed indoors to watch the final match of the day between MU's Maureen Modesto and Gabrielle Duncan of Louisville. Modesto took the first set easily 6-2, and, though it took a little longer, solidified her victory with a 7-5 win in the second set. Modesto will compete in tomorrow's semi-final of the Pink, Black and Gold 3 bracket.
Upon completion of day one the women all headed to their weekend home-away-from-homes. Each team will stay with families, who have opened their doors to the opponents, across Columbia instead of hotels this weekend.
"It's a really nice touch," said Missouri coach Blake Starkey. "They won't have to stay in hotels this weekend. They'll also be able to check out the Roots, Blues and Barbeque Festival downtown and can really enjoy themselves while they're here in Columbia."
With plenty of daylight left after play was finished on Friday many of the women plan to be a part of the expected 100,000 people who will head to downtown Columbia for the festival.
Competition will continue Saturday (Oct. 4) in the Green Tennis Center facilities. Play will begin at 10:30 a.m., as the "Ace For A Cure" theme will peak. Each match will be played using pink tennis balls and participants have each been given a pink "Ace For A Cure" jersey to wear. Tournament t-shirts will continue to be sold for $10 each, until supply runs out. All proceeds from this weekend's tournament will benefit cancer research.

She Said WHAT?
In a town hall meeting, a gentleman asked Democrat Rep. Kathy Hochul where the Constitution allows the Federal Government to require a "private or religious organization to pay for anything for free?"
Here's her chilling response:
"Well, basically, we're not looking to the Constitution on that aspect of it."
Stunning. You can watch it at Freedom's Lighthouse.

The main reason I made these is that they're a pattern for knits, which you don't see very often, and they've got nice slim legs and a fly front. Usually knit trousers mean elasticated waistbands a'la leggings, but I have fond memories of a few RTW pairs like this I had in high school and university that I wore positively threadbare! I hate turn ups, though, so I just cut these at the final indicated length and then just didn't fold them up (for normal length legs rather than 7/8 length with cuffs).
These are just SO comfortable to wear, and they're nice enough to wear to the office with a nice silk blouse, too.

First-time visitors tend to associate Buenos Aires with tango, steak, and wine—that trifecta of local passions—but the Argentine capital's French buildings, Italian food, and Spanish nightlife also tell the story of a city with one foot in Latin America and the other in Europe. Beyond the "Paris-of-South-America" clichés, this is a city of world-class art, exceptional cuisine, and internationally acclaimed design. After a 2001 crisis battered the nation's economy and the value of its currency, B.A. became one of the world's few high-gloss/low-cost travel destinations; the resulting influx of visitors and expats transformed the city, in some ways arguably saving it from an even worse downturn. In recent months, however, acute inflation has confounded the country's once-robust recovery. The days of Buenos Aires as a bastion of bargains have passed—at least for now—yet its physical and cultural charms have never been more evident.

Onetime home to legendary tango crooner Carlos Gardel, Buenos Aires's Abasto neighborhood is—like the music—experiencing a revival. Immerse yourself in the history of tango culture at Gardel's former residence, Museo Casa Carlos Gardel.

died Sept. 15, 1985, New York, N.Y.
African-American trumpeter whose mastery of mutes and expressive effects made him one of the most distinctive jazz musicians.
A self-taught trumpeter, Williams toured with several bands, including Lester Young's family band, in his mid-teens before moving to New York in 1928. The next year he replaced the seminal Bubber Miley in the plunger-muted trumpet role in Duke Ellington's band, a role that was fundamental to the band's sound. Influenced by Louis Armstrong, Williams was a more modern stylist than Miley, with a wider range of technique. Moreover, Williams soon expanded his mutes' ranges of timbres and expression and also became a master of open-horn playing.
Williams' emotional range, from intimate to extroverted to harsh, was uncommonly wide, his sense of harmony was sophisticated, and he was a valuable improviser as well as interpreter. Among the hundreds of Ellington recordings on which he is featured, the miniature concertos Echoes of Harlem and Concerto for Cootie are especially noted; he also led a small ensemble of fellow Ellington band members, Cootie Williams and His Rug Cutters, on outstanding recordings.
Williams left Ellington in 1940 and spent a year in Benny Goodman's band. In the face of the general decline of the big band business, he led a big band for much of the 1940s and rhythm-and-blues units after that. He rejoined Ellington in 1962; by then he was a somewhat coarser but no less dramatic player. After Duke's death he played in the Mercer Ellington band into the 1970s. Especially notable among his recordings is the 1957 album The Big Challenge, led by Williams and former Ellington cornetist Rex Stewart.

Construction began in April 2014 on a project to improve safety and operations in the area of OR 99W northbound and I-5 northbound, spanning the Tigard/Portland city limits. Once complete, traffic in the area should see a reduction in crashes and all road users will have a safer environment. Construction is slated for completion in Sept. 2014. Read the weekly construction news which details the traffic impacts on a weekly basis.
Project elements include:
* An additional lane on OR 99W northbound between SW 64th Avenue and SW Coronado Street. Along with improved signage and striping, this will help reduce confusion and create better movement between OR 99W north and I-5 north.
* A wider off-ramp from I-5 north to OR 99W for improved flow between the two highways
* Shoulder widening, new sidewalks and a new bike lane to improve safety for those walking and on bicycles.
* A new pedestrian refuge island in the middle of OR 99W just north of the I-5 off-ramp, near SW 60th Avenue
See the graphic below for more details on the project elements.
View the map above as a PDF
Traffic Impacts* Road users should expect intermittent lane closures on OR 99W and the I-5 on- and off-ramps from April 2014 to fall 2014* Most of the construction will take place at night when traffic volumes are lower. Any weekday work impacting traffic on OR 99W or the ramps will be between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.* In general, work will occur Monday through Friday with occasional weekend nights * There will be a limited number of full nighttime I-5 ramp closures* Sidewalk closures will occur intermittently. The contractor is required to provide a signed ADA-accessible pedestrian detour during any sidewalk closures* Intermittent shoulder closures are planned on OR 99W. During shoulder closures, bicyclists will need to use the travel lane* Trimet bus stops will be temporarily impacted and relocated during construction
* Road users should expect increased congestion and delays in the project area

I work with a lot of people and companies on improving their communication skills. Whether a company or individual hires me because there is a serious problem or they recognize that poor or ineffective business communication skills are hindering them in some way, the root cause is always the same: They don't listen, but they always think they are. If I asked 100 people, "Do you think you listen to other people?" the answer would be a resounding YES! Of course, they would also tell me that other people don't listen to them — which of course is what they see as the problem. "If only those dimwits would listen to me, we wouldn't have these problems."
Every one of us believes, truly believes, that we listen to other people. I'm here to argue this point. We don't listen — we hear. Our ears hear what someone is saying but we aren't really listening.
We miss tone, inflection, the specific words they use, their values, beliefs, the nuances and what's under the words. We attach judgments to what they are saying or how they are saying it, and don't listen. At times we are even thinking about the upcoming meeting, the report we have to finish, the fight we had this morning with our kids, or any number of other things. If any of these facts exist we can't be listening, even if we hear the words. Improving listening skills is the first step toward improving communication.
Even more than that, improving your listening skills will build trust by making others feel understood, It eliminate misunderstanding, and improves productivity and, and, and … all leading to happier relationships and more fun. And who doesn't want that?

iPad Tumblr Roundup
Given that you have to pay to get the device, pay more for 3G, THEN pay $30 a month, THEN pay for content, all in addition to paying similar fees on your regular iPhone, I can't see a lot of people investing in this thing unless it does more than an iPhone does, and right now it really doesn't. The Kindle, at least, is much cheaper. I can't replace my iPhone with this thing, why would I just add another log to the fire that's burning a hole in my wallet already?
After all the hype has died down, I can't help but think this is going to end up a dud.
Slightly edited from original post, but these are kind of my thoughts exactly. I was at this conference in Munich this week with lots of smart internet people and the "is the tablet going to be great?" question dominated a lot of conversations. Even before Apple even showed the iPhone for the first time we all wanted one. With the tablet I really needed to be sold on it and that just didn't happen. (I was secretly hoping for a foldable, dual screen thing like that Top Secret Microsoft Project).
One interesting sidenote…
I can assume eventually apple will offer Macbooks with built in 3G for a $30 unlimited data plan with no contract.
… which sucks cause I am about to throw down and buy a new MacBook Pro. Like tomorrow. (Should I wait??? If so, tell me!)
Another sidenote (and I think I've posted on this before): I'm excited for people carrying large scale touch screen displays because of the social things that can happen around them. Think about when we call meet up at Tom & Jerry's at that back table… a lot of us place our phones on the table. Now, I don't expect that 60 days from now all those iPhones will be replaced with, er, bigger 10" iPhones, but the idea of a bunch of people sitting down and interacting with content on a shared screen is really interesting. I mean, maybe we make a foursquare app that's designed for 4 people to look at at once? Maybe the app knows that your 4 friends are at T&J's and shows you a map of where all you common friends are, or places to eat that none of you have been to yet. That stuff is pretty cool.
Sidenote #3: We used to think alot about big screens when I was at area/code. How can big touch screens change the way we think about board games? e.g. Is Monopoly or Risk or Sorry (or Catan!) different / better on a Microsoft Surface Table… or a 10" touch screen? And what if the 10" screen can sniff out the devices nearby so the cards you'd normally hold in hard are now held on your iPhone screen (anyone remember how the Sega Dreamcast had a screen build into the controller for secretly calling fake punts in Madden?). I'm not 100% on-board that 10" is big enough, but it's a start… especially if you think less about the iPad as a "big iPhone" or "color Kindle" and more of it as a "mini Microsoft Surface table"
Anyway, these social interactions - games, photo sharing, social utility, etc - will be some of the more interesting things that'll come out of this next round of devices (and the apps that run on them). Should be an interesting 6 months…

Cattle Guards
- Saturday, July 26, 2003
For some reason the bovines will not step on the guards, probably because they fear getting their feet caught between the rails. I need to make that clear in order for everyone to appreciate the following TRUE story. (?)
President Clinton received a report that there were over 100,000 cattle guards in Colorado. Because Colorado ranchers protested his proposed changes in grazing policies, he ordered Secretary of Interior Bruce Babbitt to fire half of the guards immediately.
Before Babbitt could respond, and presumably straighten him out, Colorado's congresswoman Pat Schroeder intervened with a request that before any were fired they be given six months of retraining.
Stranger than fiction, isn't it?

Comments about Moog Music Sub Phatty Analog Synthesizer:
Its noticeable differences are in the bass (compared to what your computer might offer you) it has at least ten times more detail than the simulation.
Deadmau5 uses this type of machines to get the real sound you hear at the raves. Professional DJs wouldnt settle for anything less than true analog. I have met many artists who have spent thousands on modular gear who were very impressed with the performance and results from phatty, Thankyou Dr. moog.
Its monophonic which means it only plays one note at a time.

I've had to skip Presbyterian, Georgia Tech's Sept. 3 opponent. The team doesn't have a beat writer and my attempts to find a reasonably unbiased source to analyze the team fell short. I'll keep working on it. Anyway, Norm Wood of the Daily Press of Newport News, Va., was gracious enough to answer questions about Virginia, Tech's opponent Sept. 15 at Bobby Dodd Stadium. You can follow his blog here and on Twitter here.
1. In a nutshell, what are Virginia's strengths and weaknesses?
Despite losing Associated Press second team All-American left guard Austin Pasztor and honorable mention All-Atlantic Coast Conference center Anthony Mihota, U.Va. should still be very sturdy up front. Starting right guard Luke Bowanko spent his offseason rehabilitating from surgeries to each of his shoulders, but he should be ready to go for the start of practice and could slide over to center. Left tackle Oday Aboushi and right tackle Morgan Moses could be one of the best overall blocking duos in the nation.
Last season, U.Va. gave up 16 sacks, which was second-least in the ACC and least among offenses that didn't run the option. With a still capable offensive line, and an experienced backfield, U.Va. should be just as strong in pass protection. Speaking of the backfield, Perry Jones (113 all-purpose yards per game; seventh in ACC), Kevin Parks and Clifton Richardson give U.Va. a versatile corps of running backs with speed and power running skills and the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield.
As far as quarterback play is concerned, depth will not be an issue with Michael Rocco, Phillip Sims, David Watford and freshmen Greyson Lambert and Matt Johns in the fold. On the defensive side, linebackers Steve Greer and LaRoy Reynolds are two very experienced leaders. Defensive tackle Will Hill will be a starter for the first time as a senior, but he gained ample field-time last season in a three-man rotation with now-graduated seniors Matt Conrath and Nick Jenkins.
Replacing Conrath, Jenkins and defensive end Cam Johnson won't be easy, but U.Va. may have bigger concerns about how green its secondary will be this season. Other than returning starting cornerback Demetrious Nicholson, none of U.Va.'s other projected first team defensive backs has ever started a game. U.Va.'s secondary will be among the youngest in the Football Bowl Subdivision. While Smith, Dominique Terrell and Darius Jennings are all promising players at wide receiver, it's going to be challenging to find someone to step into the shoes of receiver Kris Burd, who left U.Va. after last season the No. 2 all-time pass-catcher (162). There's also a lot of uncertainty in the special teams units, where a new starting kicker and punter must be identified, and a dependable punt return option must emerge.
2. It's probably hard to say, but what do you think are Alabama transfer Phillip Sims' chances to start this season?
Without having a feel for how long incumbent Michael Rocco's leash will be, it is indeed difficult to gauge Sims' chances of starting this season. Given all the expected elements – relatively short period of time to work with new teammates, very little practice implementation of the playbook – one could reasonably assume Sims' odds of being under center for the Sept. 1 season-opener against Richmond are long.
On the other hand, it's not unreasonable to think Sims could start at some point during the season if Rocco were to falter. For the first seven games last season, Rocco split time with true freshman David Watford, who entered each of those games on U.Va.'s fourth or fifth drive and played extensively in each game. In U.Va.'s last six games, Watford only played in three of them, and he only attempted three more passes (completed none) in those games. Though Rocco started all 13 games, he sometimes ended up playing less than Watford in those first seven games.
Obviously, none of last season's quarterback swapping has anything to do with Sims, but it does show coach Mike London and offensive coordinator Bill Lazor have a willingness to at least get creative with their quarterback situation if they deem it necessary. Sims may have a slightly less daunting learning curve because he's already familiar with playing in the same offense as Jones and wide receiver Tim Smith. Sims, Jones and Smith all played at Oscar Smith High in Chesapeake, Va., winning a state championship together in 2008.
3. Who is the biggest loss from the team and how will that impact Virginia?
The "biggest loss" title could easily be attached to Burd, but there are experienced options to explore at the receiver spots. Johnson, who led the team in sacks last season with four, could be the most significant loss considering U.Va. has virtually no returning pass rush, but there's potential in highly-recruited incoming freshman defensive end Eli Harold. Instead, cornerback Chase Minnifield might be the most irreplaceable cog. Last season, he earned first team All-ACC honors after leading the team with 11 passes defended, including three interceptions. The biggest problem is U.Va. has next-to-nothing in terms of seasoned depth at cornerback.
Sophomores Drequan Hoskey, Brandon Phelps and Brendan Morgan all spent most of last season playing special teams. Now, Hoskey, who came to U.Va. on a track scholarship before joining the football program in 2010, and the highly-touted Phelps will enter preseason practice as the favorites to take over for Minnifield. Hoskey and/or Phelps need to be effective. If they aren't, U.Va. will likely have to rely on a true freshman to pick up the slack. Nicholson was able to come in last season as a true freshman, start right away and play fairly well throughout the season, but he was also considered by most recruiting analysts to be one of the nation's top five cornerbacks and top 100 overall prospects coming out of high school. None of the incoming cornerbacks this season will arrive with that kind of rep.
4. With five returning starters on defense, how vulnerable to do you think that unit is?
Other than the linebackers and a few promising individuals (Harold, Hill and Nicholson), there are serious questions to be answered. The worries obviously start in the secondary, where Hoskey or Phelps and projected first-team safeties Anthony Harris and Rijo Walker will all be first-time starters. Offenses may try to pick on the green secondary. If the young players don't respond, U.Va. may have a difficult time even rising to last season's unspectacular, yet reasonable overall passing defense numbers (212 yards per game, 45th in the nation; 12 interceptions, 55th in the nation).
Generating a pass rush may also be a challenge for U.Va. with Johnson and Conrath (three sacks) gone to National Football League camps. No other returning player had more than two sacks last season, but defensive coordinator Jim Reid talked about making adjustments in his 4-3 scheme to free up outside linebackers Daquan Romero (who had a combined 49 sacks in his final two seasons of high school as a defensive end) and Reynolds on blitzing opportunities, and London expressed optimism about the 6-4, 215-pound Harold's pass-rushing ability from the edge.
5. What is the fan base's perception of Mike London?
London has had to fight what can best be described as general fan malaise surrounding the program – a condition that took root far before he was named the coach in Dec. 2009. Attendance in U.Va.'s Scott Stadium fell in each of former coach Al Groh's final three seasons – average of 59,824 fans in '07, 53,815 in '08 and 47,986 in '09. It continued to plummet in the '10 season (45,459) – London's first as coach – before making a small increase last season (47,940). On the whole, the impressions of London seem to be positive.
Fans are encouraged by his staff's recruiting acumen (could be on the brink of a top 25 national class for 2013; have made inroads to re-establish themselves as major entities in the fertile Hampton Roads and northern Virginia recruiting territories). Last season's appearance in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, which was U.Va.'s first bowl in four years, along with U.Va. contending for the Coastal Division crown into the last week of the regular season and London's conference coach of the year award have helped raise confidence in London's vision. Yet, until there's sustained winning (three of the last four seasons have featured losing records) in Charlottesville, fans that were used to seven to nine-win seasons under coach George Welsh and in the early Groh years will stay away.
6. Given the team's inexperience, if Virginia goes 4-4 in the ACC, will that be a disappointing season?
As a matter of fact, a 4-4 conference mark seems like a perfectly reasonable prediction. With road contests against Georgia Tech, North Carolina State and Virginia Tech – all of which could challenge for respective division crowns – it's not inconceivable U.Va. could lose all three of those games. A road game against Duke and home games against Maryland and Wake Forest seem winnable, but home games against Miami and UNC aren't gimmes by any stretch.
After going 8-5 last season, U.Va. could be in for a small step back this season before it moves forward. In other words, with the addition and development of solid recruiting classes, brighter days are ahead for U.Va. – but something like a 6-6 overall, 4-4 ACC record this season is a distinct possibility.

gt4ever, I just saw an article witch claims that GT has played more "Big 4 conference" opponents than any other team in the ACC dating back to 2005. If true,I think we have earned the right to play a team like Presbyterian.
July 31st, 2012
1:59 pm
Sounds like their defense won't be as imposing as it was last year. Their D-line (now mostly in the NFL) had our guys beat inside. If their defense is weaker, I'm thinking this is a more winnable game than we may have thought. We'll know a lot more about our own team after that first game, though!

2:07 pm
@ gt4ever……although I agree that having Pres on the schedule looks very bad, there WAS a reason for putting them there, you know. I don't remember now who the 12th team on the schedule originally was, but when ESPN convinced (not a hard job…..LOL) the two Tech's to play on Labor Day, Tech had to have a game 4 days later that would not be over-taxing. At that late date, it's not easy to find an opponent, so we "settled". Va Tech is playing Austin Peay that same day, and that's nothing to be proud of either.
July 31st, 2012
2:07 pm
If they have fresh D-linemen and corners playing while we're fielding a veteran offensive line, then I'm going to hazard a guess that offense won't be a problem. Now, our defense against their running game might an issue (but only because that's wour D's issue against everyone until we tighten that up.) They'll play us tough, but I'm no longer as worried about them if they're starting a lot of fresh defenders against us.

July 31st, 2012
2:26 pm
Thanks "Super", I'll keep that in mind moving forward. I'm pretty sure MTS was suppose to be the first game of the season and then when ESPN put us playing on 9/3 we shifted them to later in the season and talked Presbyterian into traveling to Atlanta on very short notice. We had a open slot later in the year that Drad was trying to fill when the Labor Day game popped up I'm pretty sure.

gt4ever, when CPJ is sitting at 7-5 with all of his recruits(which is where Gailey was almost every year), we will then have the start of that "sufficient data". Let's give this 2012 team a chance to play the games before making a call on that "data".

OK Toemeetsleather… You win. I will attempt to be positive no matter how absurd it becomes… BTW, I was never a Gailey fan.

@ gt4ever……have you seen the yellow firetruck that is parked at the corner of Techwood and Fowler, just outside the stadium? UOAD has friends who gather there every week, and some of us have gone by there before the game. Others have just met inside the stadium; one in fact arranged to have his seat next to mine in the upper east deck. It sorta varies from week to week, and nothing definite has been set up yet for this year. If you're interested though, check in the week before a given game, and I'm sure it will be mentioned…..or you can just ask. We just started doing this the last couple of games last year, but some of us met in El Paso, and 5 or 6 of us sat together at the T-Night game. Even if you and some of us might disagree on some things, we're still all Tech fans.

@ juvenal…..I think the only time we met last year was when you stopped by my seat for a minute. I have the same seats, and 1 4 GT will now be in the one next to mine. GT Lee will be using that ticket for the Pres game. As far as before games, just read what I said to gt4ever. The last thing you said was "bring pix." What did that mean?

Even if you and some of us might disagree on some things, we're still all Tech fans.
Exactly… Well said!
July 31st, 2012
2:59 pm
@ gt4ever…..we just need to disagree civilly. I mean absolutely no offense to you here, because I think I figured you out a long time ago……sometimes you don't come across as offering civil disagreement. Choose your words a little better. LOL
July 31st, 2012
3:01 pm
of your trip, of course…last year, the noon thing was a killer, & my kid has a lot of Sat. soccer stuff. as you may notice, i have to plan anything months-years in advance…will definitely make the bowl this year, won't be out of the US for Christmas…& the almighty tv gods make it so you have 12 days to plan…hoping to get you to some basketball…
July 31st, 2012
3:01 pm
LOL… I will try to do better…. Good grief I had NO idea some of you guys were delicate flowers… Oh Damn, there I go again…
July 31st, 2012
3:05 pm
gt4ever, blind loyalty is more blindness than loyalty, Doug & Ken could tell you how often i have queried about the shot-gun, QB rotation, & NT-still, some tones are better in a pre-game meeting than in public…
July 31st, 2012
3:07 pm
juvenal…..check your email
July 31st, 2012
3:10 pm
LOL @ gt4ever
It's not that we are delicate flowers, but on blogs where a*holes like WnE and dwagfan made regularly STUPID posts, maybe sometimes we are a little sensitive to some posts which sometimes don't sound much better than their's. Hell, there are some on here who have actually claimed that you and WnE are the same person. LOL
July 31st, 2012
3:16 pm
dawgfan is a typical mutt… you really have to feel sorry for them… They have nothing but their football… kinda pathetic really…
I'm not sure about Wne yet…
July 31st, 2012
3:25 pm
LOL, I hope I'm not WnE…. I don't spend nearly the same amount of time blogging as detailed as he does…. I don't agree with everything he says, but he has made some very astute comments… Sorry to say… lol
July 31st, 2012
3:30 pm
@ gt4ever…….but he says the same old crap over and over and over again, and he has NEVER said one good thing about Tech. He CLAIMS to be a Tech fan and not give a damn about what the dwags do, and yet on April 1, he glowed effusive in his comments about UGA players' progress during the spring. Does that really sound like a Tech fan to you?
July 31st, 2012
3:41 pm
I'm not sure he is a GT fan, maybe just a college football fan or a closet UGA fan… Imagine that.. Just plain embarrassed to claim his allegiance to UGA, the JOKE of the south…
July 31st, 2012
3:45 pm
@ gt4ever…….see you and I CAN agree on something. LOL
July 31st, 2012
3:50 pm
I personally think that Carnack the Magnificent (gollum) went to GT. He knew too much about where students hung out & where they could eat (even down to nick names). But he either flunked out or was kicked out for some reason. That explains his complete disdain for GT to me. Selah!
July 31st, 2012
3:54 pm
HUGE game. It doesn't get any bigger or better than this. 40,000 people at Bobby Dodd stadium will be rocking for the noon kickoff. It will be an absolutely electric atmosphere. I wish I could be there. Thank God ESPN will be broadcasting the game on the internet.
July 31st, 2012
3:56 pm
and then there was dawgfan….
July 31st, 2012
4:00 pm
@ dwagfan…..you obviously don't have a clue. If you are referring to the Presbyterian game, it will not be played at noon. I think you're confusing that with KO time for the UGA game with Buffalo. BUFFALO ??? Do they even have a football team there?
July 31st, 2012
4:02 pm
And if you're referring to the Tech – UVA game, it starts at 3:30 on ESPNU
July 31st, 2012
4:04 pm
Yeah, Buffalo is equally as embarrassing… Plus that classless, clueless defensive coordinator. A defense that has beat NOBODY of substance…. A group of 4 and 5 star athletes that underachieve EVERY year… Joke is an understatement… for UGA's program…
July 31st, 2012
4:06 pm
Damn, gt4ever, we agree again…….regarding "Choke" Grantham.
July 31st, 2012
4:08 pm
maybe it's really the end of time as we know it…. lol
July 31st, 2012
4:10 pm
dwagfan if the type of Georgie fan that the other 99% of them look bad. He is the type of guy that it is too easy to say, "Kiss me where the sun don't shine."
July 31st, 2012
4:10 pm
July 31st, 2012
4:12 pm
"make" between that & the other
July 31st, 2012
4:14 pm
@ 1 4 GT…..I know they are known as butt sniffers, but I don't want dwagfan anywhere near my butt. LOL
July 31st, 2012
4:16 pm
I'm gone–gotta go vote!
July 31st, 2012
4:21 pm
"And if you're referring to the Tech – UVA game, it starts at 3:30 on ESPNU"
Sweet!!! If you're a fan of ACC Coastal football (and really, who isn't?) you'll be sure to tune in to this one. Hundreds of thousands of people all over the southeast tuned in last year to watch UVA pull the shocker over 6-0 Georgia Tech. After impressive wins over the likes of Western Carolina, Kansas and NC State Georgia Tech football seemed destined for greatness, but in the rough and tumble ACC Coastal you can never take anything for granted. You've got to bring the B- game every single week.
"A defense that has beat NOBODY of substance…."
I couldn't agree more. Georgia Tech football=no one of substance.
July 31st, 2012
4:21 pm
3;30 may be do-able…80,000 AA drop-outs, the atmosphere definitely reeks in azzins…p,p & p…
July 31st, 2012
4:27 pm
dwagfan…..who do you think will be your D-coach after Grantham gets his classless azz fired? It WILL happen, you know, even though he probably appeals to jerks like you.
July 31st, 2012
4:29 pm
dwagfan, where's the usual reference about putting something in or pulling something out of your rear end? You are slipping my smelly friend.

You knew it was coming, so don't act surprised. After a little super Sonic skydive, next came something closer to home. Or at least to Earth. In Long Beach over the weekend, the Chevrolet crew stacked shipping containers ten stories high and then tipped a Sonic over the edge. It landed safely, gently plopping its nose into a wading pool before elasticity took over and hurtled the Sonic back in the air.
This is all part of the "Let's Do This" and "Game of Firsts" campaigns, and as far as we can tell there remain ten brand new Sonics to be won by a very suspecting public. If you'd rather just watch a Sonic fall 100 feet, however, then there's a video for you after the jump.

SPOKANE -- The quarterback who brought two championships to Spokane is coming back for the 2011 season.
Kyle Rowley re-signed with the Spokane Shock on Thursday. He's the seventh member of last year's championship team to commit to the Shock for next season.
"I don't think there's a better quarterback in the league than Kyle," head coach Rob Keefe said. "This is the ultimate team sport and you need a quarterback who has good leadership qualities, understands the game and is willing to do whatever it takes to win a game. We have that now with Kyle Rowley."
Rowley set the single-season franchise record for passing yards (4,428) and passing touchdowns (100) last season. He completed 75% of his passes for 237 yards and nine touchdowns in Spokane's ArenaBowl XXIII victory in August.
That's not the only title Rowley won. He also led the Shock to an ArenaCup title in 2006 when they were an expansion team in arenafootball2.

Weird Al is a general 40-1 chance for the John Smith's Grand NationalPICTURE: Getty Images
Weird Al to join Ballabriggs in National
WEIRD AL will join last year's hero Ballabriggs in next Saturday's John Smith's Grand National after trainer Donald McCain confirmed him for the race.
A general 40-1 chance for the 4m4f marathon, Weird Al won the Charlie Hall Chase on his first start for McCain last October but was pulled-up in last month's Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup.
The horse was reported to have bled at Cheltenham but after impressing his trainer recently, McCain has decided to run him at Aintree along with stablemate Ballabriggs.
Quoted in his Betfair column, the trainer said: "We just felt that he might not get the chance to run off such an attractive mark in the future and that he might be the sort of horse who would really take to the place - in the end, it's the Grand National and the decision really took care of itself.
"He was obviously below-par in the Gold Cup but he bled there and it clearly wasn't his true running - he has looked in great nick at home since."
Timmy Murphy, who won the 2008 National on Comply Or Die, will take the ride.

Class: Aves
Order: Anseriformes
Family: Anatidae
Find out more about the Canvasback from:
Publications -
Minnesota Conservation Volunteer articles
Hunting information -
A large, fast-flying diving duck, the canvasback is prized by hunters. While canvasback hunting seasons have been closed and bag limits reduced in the past, the canvasback population is now at high levels in many states. In the fall, they sometimes gather in large numbers on north-central Minnesota lakes.
General description: The canvasback is a large diving duck that has a sloping bill and is found on larger bodies of water. Drake (male) canvasbacks have red eyes, cinnamon-colored heads and brilliant white backs.
Length: About 21 inches.
Weight: About 2 1/2 pounds.
Color: Males have reddish brown (or cinnamon-colored) heads, white backs, and light gray sides and bellies. Females have tan heads, dark brown breasts and cream sides and bellies.
Sounds: A deep staccato purring from the hen and a "whoo" call from the drake.
Canvasbacks are early nesters, usually the first week of May. On average, eight eggs per nest hatch, and the majority of ducklings survive. Young ducks are fully feathered in eight weeks. Canvasback nests are built from cattails or bulrushes and float on the water.
Sago pondweed, wild celery tubers, wild rice and aquatic insects.
Mink, raccoons, hawks and owls.
Large lakes, potholes and river systems. The highest concentrations of nesting canvasbacks are found on the prairies of western Canada. Each November, canvasbacks fly south across Minnesota to the waterways of Louisiana, Texas, Florida and North Carolina.
Each year, canvasbacks make up about one to three percent of all the ducks harvested in Minnesota. In 1999, Minnesota hunters harvested 8,600 canvasbacks.
Canvasbacks respond well to the large decoy spreads set out by waterfowl hunters.

Patrick Kielty hosted the 2013 Greenbuild Awardshttp://www.greenbuildnews.co.uk/images/img/articles/297_198/Articles_812_1_1368171282.jpg
Recognising excellence in sustainable buildings, the awards focus on projects that can illustrate an understanding of the importance of building performance in use.
Judge Kerry Mashford, chief executive of NEF, commented: "It has been an absolute pleasure to judge the Greenbuild Awards again this year and we are pleased that so many great projects are raising the profile of creating truly sustainable buildings.
"National Energy Foundation's primary objective is improving the use of energy in buildings, so I am delighted that the Greenbuild Awards differentiate themselves by giving emphasis to the in-use performance of buildings. We really hope the awards inspire more project teams to monitor the performance of their buildings and ensure it measures up with the design predictions."
Greenbuild's Lucy Young said: "Hosted by Patrick Kielty, the awards night was a fantastic way to celebrate some impressive achievements in the built environment and we'd like to thank all the shortlisted entries for making it such a wonderful occasion. And many congratulations to the winners, who are all very deserving indeed. We aim to showcase the very best in sustainability in building across a variety of projects and sectors.

Ask from Daya Gamage
Welcome To Daya Gamage-Anoma Gamage.com
Govt. calls temporary solutions as development - Daya Gamage
Spending colossal sums on imports and calling its temporary solutions as development, the present government is deceiving the people to gain political advantage, UNP national organizer Daya Gamage has told 'The Independent' website in an interview.
He has said that export growth was imperative for the development of the business sector and a country like Sri Lanka needs to have a stable production economy without relying on self-dependency.
Export revenue declined to 16 per cent from 36 pc in 2005 due to investors not coming to the country to strengthen production, as they do not have any confidence in its economy, he has pointed out.
The ICAPP Mission to India
Hon. Chung Eui-yong, Co-Chairman of the Standing Committee and Secretary General,Hon. Daya D.K. Gamage,Hon. Dr.Anoma Gamage
The International Conference of Asian Political Parties (ICAPP) is a forum of political parties from Asia-Oceania countries; it was launched in Manila, Philippines in September 2000. The objective of the conference is to keep Asia's political leaders in regular communication. It is thereby becoming a positive force in strengthening unity among Asian countries and driving Asia along the road toward stability and prosperity. More than 300 political parties in the region with diverse political and ideological backgrounds are eligible to participate in ICAPP activities and the forum has contributed greatly towards achieving mutual understanding among countries in Asia.
The ICAPP mission visited India from the 11-12th of July 2014 and had several meetings with leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress to discuss future cooperation between the ICAPP and political parties in India.
Valuable gift to Daya, Anoma from London
UNP national organizer Daya Gamage and MP Dr. Anoma Gamage received a valuable gift from the party's London branch when they toured UK.
That gift is a parcel of raw chillies – which cost Rs. 1,000 a kilo in Sri Lanka under Mahinda Chinthana, and is priced a Pound (Rs. 218) a kilo in UK.
Daya and Anoma Gamage met party activists in that country at the invitation of London branch president Harshaka Kannangara, during their visit to participate in the convocation of their daughter who graduated in economics from Durham University.

|SHARE road map for HealthGrids: Methodology
|Mark OliveHanene RahmouniTony SolomonidesVincent Breton1Yannick LegréIgnacio BlanquerVicente Hernandez
|The SHARE1 project (http://www.eu-share.org) was asked to identify the key developments needed to achieve wide adoption and deployment of HealthGrids throughout Europe. The project was asked to organise these as milestones on a road map, so that all technical advances, social actions, economic investments and ethical or legal initiatives necessary for HealthGrids would be seen together in a single coherent document. The full road map includes an extensive analysis of several case studies exploring their technical requirements, full discussion of the ethical, legal, social and economic issues which may impede early deployment, and concludes with an attempt to reconcile the tensions between technological developments and regulatory frameworks. This paper has been restricted to the technical aspects of the project. SHARE built on the work of the 'HealthGrid' initiative so we begin by, reviewing work carried out in various European HealthGrid projects and report on joint work with numerous European collaborators. Following many successful HealthGrid projects, HealthGrid published a 'White Paper' which establishes the foundations, potential scope and prospects of an approach to health informatics based on a grid infrastructure. The White Paper demonstrates the ways in which the HealthGrid approach supports many modern trends in medicine and healthcare, such as evidence-based practice, integration across levels, from molecules and cells, through tissues and organs to the whole person and community, and the promise of individualised healthcare. SHARE was funded by the European Commission to define a research roadmap for a 'HealthGrid for Europe', to be seen as the preferred infrastructure for biomedical and healthcare projects in the European Research Area.

HAMPTON ROADS -- A 13News investigation found some high levels of lead in grocery bags from local retailers.
A dozen reusable bags from Farm Fresh, Fresh Market, Harris Teeter, Kroger, CVS, Dollar Tree, Total Wine & More and Trader Joe's were tested along with a 13News bag that is used for promotional events.
When the lab results returned bags from Farm Fresh (468.7 Parts Per Million), Total Wine & More (468.6 PPM), Harris Teeter (328.0 PPM) and CVS (100.4 PPM) came back with the highest levels of lead. All of the other bags tested at less than 10 PPM of lead.
Many states including Virginia only allow 100 PPM of lead in consumer packaging. The Consumer Product Safety Commission does not regulate reusable grocery bags but allows only 90 PPM of lead in children's toys.
"Anything that we know for a fact introduces a hazard especially to a child's environment we really should avoid it," said Colleen Becker, an industrial hygienist at Marine Chemist Service, Inc. in Newport News.
We asked the companies with bags that showed higher levels of lead about their products.
Farm Fresh's parent company SuperValu said the bag that we found that had a higher level of lead was a holiday promotional bag, adding that "[the bags] were tested before distribution in our stores and the results showed them to be lead-free. At the same time, the safety of our customers is always a top priority and we are working with our supplier to understand the discrepancies between those results and yours," said Luke Friedrich spokesperson for SuperValu.
Total Wine & More sent us a response through its bag manufacturer, Earthwise. Though our test showed that it did have 468.6 PPM of lead in the bag we tested, Earthwise said that all of its bags are below Consumer Product Safety Commission's standards.
"We certainly appreciate your concerns regarding the safety of reusable shopping bags. We say with complete confidence and definitive testing evidence that Earthwise reusable bags are safe for consumer use. Our reusable bags meet or exceed Federal Consumer Product Safety Standards in accordance with the CPSIA 2008. These are stringent government standards that also apply to lead safety in toys and other consumer products. Earthwise has a long standing testing protocol in place that ensures the products we produce and distribute are safe. As part of this protocol, we routinely test a variety of materials and inks. As a family owned small business, we are dedicated to providing safe, high quality products that are good enough for our own families as well as yours," said Adam Lerner of Earthwise.
Harris Teeter sent this statement:
"Harris Teeter requires its reusable bag manufacturer, Redi-Bag USA, to test the raw materials used in its bags, as well as the bag itself for lead and other metals prior to shipment. In light of recent media attention concerning heavy metals in reusable bags, Redi-Bag commissioned Centre Testing International (CTI) to perform an analytical review on behalf of Harris Teeter. CTI has received and maintains certification from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The test results confirmed that Harris Teeter's reusable bags contain well below 100 ppm for lead, cadmium, mercury and hexavalent chromium."
Our 13News lab test showed that the same style bag contained 328 PPM of lead.
CVS said that it had already pulled the bags off of the shelves when we asked about the bag that tested at 100.4 PPM of lead.
Environmental health science professor Dr. Anna Jeng at Old Dominion University says that if reusable bags with high amounts of lead aren't disposed of properly, they can be toxic to the environment.
"It will eventually leak from the bag and into the groundwater."
In clean soil, lead is naturally occurring and is usually at 5 PPM.
13News showed results from testing the reusable bags to the Food and Drug Administration, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency.
A spokesperson from the FDA responded, "At FDA, we are concerned with food safety and the surfaces of the bag that could come into contact with the food. Materials containing lead that are used in the bag to decorate the outside have little likelihood of migrating to food because there is little chance that they will come into contact with it. Even if there is lead containing material on the inside of the bag, when we use these bags we typically carry packaged food or produce that is contained in an outer bag so there is little likelihood of any migration to that food. Even if the produce were to fall out of the bags it is in, the short duration of time that it would be in contact with the inside of the bag would leave little likelihood of any migration, should there be any lead even in the inner surface of the bag," said Douglas Karas.
Justin Wilson, a senior analyst at non-profit consumer group, Consumer Freedom said that lead can get into reusable bags during the manufacturing process. The reusable bags are made from post-consumer waste and that waste can sometimes contain trace levels of lead.
The federal government does not regulate the manufacturing process.
In high doses, lead can create brain damage and kidney problems. Children and pregnant women are more sensitive to exposure.
In terms of dangers of trace lead in reusable bags, Becker says that the risk comes from lead dust that can be released over time when bags are used over and over again.
"Sunlight can deteriorate them. Constant use could deteriorate them"
Consumer advocates say to try to see if the reusable bag you're using has a low amount of lead, to check with retailers that are selling the bags.
