My hair had been long, straight, and blond for what seemed to be an eternity. When I was younger I used to experiment, cut, color, and go bold on a whim, but since becoming a mom, I've kind of just stuck with my style.
Until recently.
I wasn't ready to cut it, but I wanted a change. A BIG change. So I decided to go brunette. Not just some subtle low-lights, but a "big, dramatic change" I told my stylist.
So big and dramatic change I got. My own 9-year-old son didn't recognize me, and I had several friends whose kids came home and said, "Mrs. Evans did something to her hair!" I got lots of double takes, and it was fun to see people's surprised reactions to the change.
It was a nice change too. I think it worked well with my skin tone, and made my eyes much bluer (they tend to look green with blonde hair). Though I will say as much as it made my eyes stand out, it also made my under-eye circles stand out, which wasn't such a bonus. The consensus from my friends and family, however, was that they liked it. "Don't ever go back to blond," more than one friend told me.
But I had to ... and much sooner than I wanted to. I went brunette in early December and figured I'd keep it that way at least until summer. What I didn't plan for, however, is that all of those highlights over the years were hiding something major -- gray hairs. And LOTS of them.
Mixed in with my blond highlights, I rarely ever noticed grays, and if I did, I don't think anyone else could. But contrasted against that dark brown hair ... oh, it was bad. And depressing. Some women embrace the gray, and good for them. I'm just not one of them. Not even close.
So back to blond I went last week. It's a much subtler blond this time, as it had gotten too light for my taste before. And I'm good with it. I still see brunettes and look wistfully at their locks sometimes, but I know that for me, being blond is way more fun than facing a bunch of gray in the mirror.
Have you ever changed your hair color dramatically?

Same exact thing happen to me. Once I went back brunette, all kinds of grey came out. I didn't even know I had grey hair yet. I'm gonna go back to highlights
I did the exact same thing as you. it's been a year and i'm still dark because i can't really afford to maintain the blonde i had. but i miss it everyday...
Blonde hair is gorgeous! Why change it?
I went blonde recently, turns out it's not for me so I went back to brunette. Blonde didn't go well with my skin.
I like being blonde, and my kids are both blonde so I think thats cute.
Love the brunette! Gorgeous no matter what though -- and I hear you on the gray thing!

I'm not american but canada's taking a similar approach by trying to buy their way out and I'm quite floored by it. In basic macroeconomics isn't the main example of the failure of keynesian government policy (a policy where the gov't tries to heat up or cool down the economy by adjusting its spending level, i.e. hitler building roads and such) was the stagflation of the 70's where we had both massive inflation AND unemployment (which goes against the philip's curve). Now here's the rub. Wasn't stagflation in the 70's CAUSED by increasing oil prices? So our classic example of when government spending will fail to heat up the economy is when the recession/depression if being fueled (so to speak) by rising oil prices? Is that not the exact same bloody situation we're in now?

Fun Facts about Bachelorette Strippers
Bachelorette Strippers are a fun addition to the final fling. Hiring bachelorette party strippers can sometimes be misinterpreted by people. Bachelorette parties hire male strippers not because they want the bachelorette to get laid, but just for the fun of it! It's purely for visual entertainment; something to tease and taunt the bachelorette.
But did you know the history of strippers and stripping? We found some interesting and outrageous facts about strippers; we had so much fun reading it so we'd like to share it with you!
Stripping started in the 1960′s. It began in America with a topless dance at the Condor night club in the night of June 19, 1964. The bottomless dance followed after 5 years in the same club. There were only female strippers during that time.
However, the word stripping was introduced earlier in 1681 in the comedy "The Soldier's Fortune" by Thomas Otway. And in 1938, the term "striptease" surfaced.
Male stripping came later in the 1970′s. But in the underground world, there may be some male stripping happening around before that.
There are more female strippers compared to male strippers. In population, only 8% are male strippers while the rest of the 92% are female.
According to the Guinness Book of Records, the oldest male stripper is Bernie Barker. Bernie was 60 years old when he started stripping. And amazingly, he won 42 stripper contests. He died 2007 from prostate cancer.
Strippers have different earning potentials and their salary varies. Although sources say that female strippers earn more than males.
The movie "Magic Mike" is about the lives of male strippers. (You girls should watch this! Channing Tatum is so hot in that movie!)
Most male strippers enjoy the experience of stripping because it offers them money, girls, and a freaking good time. Compared to female strippers, males feel more power when they are onstage. A lot of male strippers feel great when hundreds of women are screaming for them. (Oh well, I guess it's the male ego at work!)
Feel like hiring a male stripper for a bachelorette party?
Watch out for our next article where we fill you in with some details and tips on hiring a male stripper for your bachelorette party!

Wonder Boy in Monster Land is the second game in the "Wonder Boy" series. A departure from the original Wonder Boy, rather than being a standard platformer like the original, Monster Land employed a more action RPG-like approach to its game design, allowing the player to equip his characters with swords, spells and various pieces of armor. The player controls a young lad named Bocke Lee Temjin as he sets out to rescue his homeland of Wonder Land, which has been taken over by an army of monsters led by an evil dragon.Monster Land was originally released in Japan as an arcade game in 1987, before getting an international release for the Master System in 1989. The Mark III version was titled Super Wonder Boy: Monster World in Japan, making it the first game in the "Monster World" sub-series. Computer versions were also released for the Amiga, Atari ST, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC, along with licensed remakes for non-Sega platforms such as Bikkuriman World for the PC Engine and Saiyuki World for the Famicom.
Tropes in Monster Land:

As familiar backdrops for Hollywood thrillers, dramatic landmarks on the horizon and stargazers par excellence, astronomical observatories rule. The United States of America has some of the very best in the world, with superb public access at most. Check out some of our favorites.
Arecibo Observatory
OK, so this is a bit of a cheat, since our first observatory is actually in Puerto Rico. Still, as an an unincorporated territory of the United States, it makes the cut. Plus, how can we deny the wonder that is the Arecibo Observatory? Star of the silver screen, most notably in GoldenEye and Contact, the observatory's immense, world record 305 m radio telescope is an absolute marvel. The jungle scenery and nearby city of Arecibo are pretty cool too.
Griffith Observatory
For dramatic views of the Los Angeles Basin and Pacific Ocean, all from a superb perch on Mount Hollywood and Griffith Park, the Griffith Observatory is phenomenal. Countless films, music videos and popular television shows have been shot here, with perhaps none more notable than James Dean's Rebel Without a Cause.
Lick Observatory
The Diablo mountain range outside of San Jose is a worthwhile tourist attraction in and of itself. Throw in the scenic peak of Mount Hamilton and the Lick Observatory however, and you have one terrific destination. The University of California astronomical observatory has made several vital discoveries over the decades.
McDonald Observatory
Davis Mountains State Park in West Texas is home to some of the most desolate and rugged beauty in the Lone Star State. Fort Davis National Historic Site is a wonderful tourist attraction in the area. The McDonald Observatory on Mount Locke and Mount Fowlkes is the real star of the show however, with daily tours that allow visitors to gaze at the sky through some massive telescopes.
Lowell Observatory
A distinctive National Historic Monument in the United States, thanks in no small part to the awesome Clark Telescope Dome on Mars Hill, the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona is a gem. The superb facility has plans to construct a new giant telescope in nearby Coconino National Forest in partnership with the Discovery Channel.
Mauna Kea
The summit of inactive volcano Mauna Kea on the island of Hawaii offers scenery that is almost unimaginable and even alien in nature. If you measure Mauna Kea's peak from the volcano's floor on the Pacific Ocean, it ranks above Mount Everest, most incredibly, at 10,203 m. The awesome observatory at the summit boasts some fantastic features, namely the fact that it soars above 40% of the planet's atmosphere and over 90% of our total water vapor.
With minimal light pollution in low population density Hawaii, the starry scenery Mauna Kea Observatory offers is about the best astronomers have on Earth. Native Hawaiians and conservation groups have been at legal odds with the U.S. military and several scientific institutes about further development on Mauna Kea in recent years.
Kitt Peak National Observatory
The barren confines of the Sonoran Desert provide astronomers with another excellent base of study. The desert covers a large part of California, Arizona and Mexico and features a diverse ecology. Barren then, is merely a surface observation. Kitt Peak of the Quinlan Mountains, home to the Tohono O'odham aboriginal tribe, contains no less than 23 telescopes.
Palomar Observatory
The California Institute of Technology operates one of the most popular tourist attractions in San Diego County. The Palomar Observatory, though a vital active research facility, offers wonderful daily tours.
Yerkes Observatory
The self-proclaimed "birthplace of modern astrophysics" is not only a marvel of science but aesthetically beautiful as well. The astronomical observatory managed by the University of Chicago in Williams Bay, Wisconsin has been a landmark on Lake Geneva since the late 19th century.

Take a look around the next time you're walking down the street. You'll notice a lot of dissatisfied men—men who feel they have a bit too much Bruce Banner in them and not enough Incredible Hulk (the size and strength of The Hulk, mind you, not all the rage and destructiveness). Afterward, take a look in the mirror.
Are you one of these men? If so, you need a training protocol that will considerably enhance your muscular size, strength, and power—if not quite to Hulk proportions, then, at the very least, surpassing Banner.
To deliver such a program, we enlisted Hollywood celebrity trainer Eric Fleishman (aka "Eric the Trainer"), owner of the fitness company ETT Corp. (ericthetrainer.com) and a bona fide comic-book buff.
"I based the following workouts off of my Sleeping Giant program, which is what we use to transform the bodies of Hollywood actors," says Fleishman, who suggests you do his Hulk program for four weeks while following a proper mass-building diet. Is there a sleeping giant within you? If so, this is the workout you'll need to awaken your own inner Hulk.

(Georgia 73, LSU 53: Click here for game story.)
ATHENS — Amid the good news for Georgia's basketball team Wednesday night –- a 20th win, a move into a second-place tie in the SEC East and fitting farewells to Stegeman Coliseum for two senior players — there was a bit of bad news:
Trey Thompkins is questionable for the regular-season finale at Alabama on Saturday.
Thompkins has been bothered this week by an injured toe and, according to coach Mark Fox, had part of a toenail removed on Tuesday. The tender toe obviously was bothering Thompkins in Wednesday's game, limiting him to 22 minutes –- just six in the second half.
Afterward, Fox suggested Thompkins might not play in Tuscaloosa, where the Crimson Tide is unbeaten this season (15-0).
"I'm not sure, to be honest with you, if he'll make it to the weekend," Fox said. "We've got to get him healthy. The poor kid has been hurt the entire year."
Thompkins, Georgia's leading scorer (15.8 points per game) and rebounder (7.5 per game), had a severe ankle sprain at the start of the season and later had an injured shin.
With or without him, Georgia could benefit considerably from a win at Alabama if two other games break the Bulldogs' way this weekend.
Wednesday's 73-53 victory over a young LSU team put Georgia in a three-way tie with Kentucky and Vanderbilt for second place in the SEC East heading into the final weekend of the regular season. If Georgia remains tied with either or both of those teams, the Bulldogs would lose the tiebreaker for the No. 2 East seed and first-round bye in the SEC tournament. But if Georgia wins at Alabama, Vanderbilt loses at home to Florida and Kentucky loses at Tennessee, the Bulldogs would finish alone in second place and get the bye.
LSU coach Trent Johnson said after Wednesday's game that as far as he is concerned, Georgia is an NCAA tournament lock. "I don't know what everyone is worrying about," said Johnson, a close friend of Fox's. "There's no question to me." Fox wants to continue building the portfolio by winning at Alabama and in the SEC tournament, but he also feels strongly that the Bulldogs have proven their worthiness.
"Nine wins with a chance of 10 in this league, OK? Twenty wins in the regular season. A good nonconference resume," Fox said. "I wouldn't sit here and tell you that we're in the NCAA tournament, that we can be satisfied with where we sit. Now, if I were sitting here with the selection committee, with some other coaches, I'd argue all day for our team. You're darn right I'd argue all day for our team. I think we've put ourselves in great position, but we still have games to play, and we can't be satisfied."

Tough break w/ Thompkins. Hopefully, he can go on Saturday. My Gators could use another loss by Bama to clinch the regular season title outright. UGA needs a win by UF to try and get the 2 seed. We'll be pulling for you guys over in Tuscaloosa.

It is nice to have a basketball team at UGA. I was sitting on the couch watching the second half of the game when my middle school daughter came in the room and sat down and watched it with me and commented how good they were and that she did not know they had a team. It is great that we have a team. Thanks Coach Fox!

Thompkins should be a poster child of what is good in Georgia both state and university athletics and the proof of Fox as a coach. So many times with Georgia in football and Tech in basketball the farmer ,being the high school system, dishes up the best produce and the cook spoils the dinner. Here is a case where talent is meeting potential. Not to be missed in this is the character of Thompkins. No high school cheating him by cheating on his grades or test scores, no prime time attitude, no confusion on the Fox part on how to coach this talent. Check the talent and resumes on the Georgia coaching bench. No gym bums punching out his kids because he can't communicate in the king's English what he is trying to say. Last year Georgia had a medical doctor practically coaching for free as an assistant. Fox like the coach at Duke or North Carolina gets it. Thompkins gets it. When we look at all that is wrong in our two school's athletic programs here is something right, we should study it and repeat it and put more attention to it so those that follow have a better idea what real success is.

I credit his parents – both of them( together) we're present for vitually every high school game.
I credit Wesleyan School that provided him with an academic challenge, a christian-based nurturing environment and a competitive basketball program. He would have made a helluva tight end ( right, Coach Richt?) but didn't play football. He was just another kid although he stood a foot above everyone else at school even though he was a "celebrity" if you want to call it that.
I credit his faith.
Howard (before I was Trey) is a good young man. I'm critical at times with his performance and attitude on the court. Off the court, he's as good as they get. I hop that does not change.
Stick around Howard. Get your degree and hit the wieghts. The NBA is no going anywhere.

My Dad and I drove up from Augusta last night to see the game. This was my first time in the renovated Stegosaurus – it's very nice (although the selections at the concession stands still are not all that great). IMHO, we are a good team but by no means are we a great team. I like Coach Fox a lot, but our team still has he tendency to fall into bad habits for three to five minute streches at a time, especially during the second half. We get very sloppy with our ball handling and with our passing. There were many trips down the floor last night 9especially in the awful first half) where our offense settled for poor three point attempts instead of hustling to the basket, and we also had no one around the rim to rebound when we would put up the long range jumpers. On the other hand, Gerald had his best game last night in a while. It was very cool to see JP kiss the G on the floor at the end of the game. We will miss JP and Chris – two good kids who have endured a lot in their four years in Athens.

Buckeye That was a very nice gesture on your part.
Proud of Coach Fox, his staff, and especially the players. Those guys, especially all of the seniors, have been through hell and hopefully they will make the tournament. It is great to have meaningful basketball back in Athens. Thanks Dawgs.
March 3rd, 2011

Yes I agree a good team but not a great team. I see Fox getting about three or 4 more wins out of this team fin this season. Dawgs are a couple of years away of being a real good team though.

gt Very nice as well. Now we have to sit on the edge of our seats and wait to see if Fox remains with UGA. The local media will have a lot to write about when basketball ends.

Fox has done a great job this year. Should have won the game in Athens against the Gators except for a 30 footer in the first OT. IMO UGA fans should be patient with him as I believe he will be as successful as Billy has in Gainesville if given the time. The only thing that separated the 2 teams this year was UF's superior depth.

To listen to the announcers in last night's game, you'd think that Trey was 'sittin' the bench' because of an 'attitude' issue – slumped shoulders, etc. – now we know that the kid's been playing, still, hurt. Now I'll admit that I think he can improve his skills further by given Georgia another year, but it his 'head' seems to be screwed on pretty darn straight.
At least once last night I saw Leslie drive to the foul-line and take an easy 13-15 foot jump shot that should be his bread and butter. Even the announcer said as much. If he would look for that shot instead of constantly driving into trouble under the basket, he'd average 25 a game…oh yeah, and learn to use his left hand.

The guy at BYU was kicked off of the team for having sex with his girlfriend! I know it's a Mormon school but still, are you kidding me? What, did the F police have a secret camera?
Lets see at BYU you cant drink, smoke, catch a buzz or have sex. Sounds like a swingin' place..but not to worry..after you get married, then you can have 3 wives. Wow..Sounds like the plan would be to get married as a freshman to the first three hotties you met. Until that becomes a new school rule, they should just rename the school BYM.

Coach Fox is a winner in every respect, as are these players! They have worked hard and as someone said, the seniors have endured a lot. A fitting reward would be for them to make the tourney.
McGarity and Adams would not dare let Coach Fox get away. Pay him well, gentlemen, and a new multi year contract as well. We've got the money, so not to worry folks.

Finally… We have a very good basketball coach at UGA. The big question is
will Georgia be able to keep him.
It is time to lock him up to a big time long term contract.
When we finally get a very good coach, another school
makes the big play and steals him away for more money!
Let's hope the powers to be in Athens would have
learned their lesson.

…is the most overrated player in D1 – and he may be the softest, too…a total wuss…no way he should even THINK about going to the NBA for next year…

What are the chances both of these guys will come back next year?. Would either of them still go out if they knew they were NOT a lottery pick? I'm not sure how the NBA money works, is there enough money to be made in the lower half of the 1st round for them to come out?
IMO Leslie is a low 1st rounder and Tompkins is as well, having played himself out of being a lottery selection this yr .Both could put themselves in a lottery draft position next yr with another good yr at UGA. but that's just me hoping..They may need the cash.. like a lot of people. ,,if so, go for it and good luck.

I was glad to see us defend the on ball screen last night. It has been something that has gotten us in trouble a lot this year. It is obviously something the coaching staff has been working. Great job guys.

Classy post earlier Buckeye. I almost always enjoy your posts and I think that you have every right to tout the accomplishments of your Buckeyes just as we Dawg fans would be doing if we were ranked #1. Ga gator, Fox will be as successful as coach D (whom I really like by the way) if he can recruit like coach D. That is still an unknown at this point. It was great that he got Kentavious for next year and it hurts that he didn't get Royal. But if he can get Tony Parker and a good point guard in 2012, I expect we will be well on our way to being respectable on a yearly basis.

Congrats to Jeremy Price and Chris Barnes as seniors to finally help UGA get to the big dance once again?? I just watched the game from last night and got chills as Price left the court and kissed the "G" at midcourt!!! It reminded me of sitting in the old gator bowl and watching Buck Belue, Hershel & "run Lindsay run" with Munson and his memorable calls!! Thanks Coach Fox and all the guys…now let's win Saturday and make a run in both the SEC & NCAA tournaments!!
Go Dawgs!!!

I give up on our bb program…truthfully, how many of y ou thought they would go to Alabama and win….ho, hum…same old same old…..wilt under pressure…can't shoot free throws, can;t stop the other team from shooting the lights outl….why should the U OF G get a bid to the NC2A….guess they could go to the NIT, i.e., the Independence Bowl of BB, and maybe, only maybe, beat South Florida in a rematch….best they can look forward to is one more loss to Alabama in the tournament….
March 7th, 2011

Well maybe he shouldnt be downtown all night after a loss…

Long time…you're obviously a Miss St "dawg fan" (or maybe some HS team that go by "dawgs"). You only have negative comments in the UGA blogs. With your constant negativity I can't imagine you being a Georgia Bulldogs fan. Guess what else? We didn't play South Florida this year…DA.

Rules for humans in 2014
The following is a list of rules for humans living in 2014. While amusing, there is truth in the humor of each rule. These are of course my views, and not gospel. Making such a list is probably quite pretentious, and my behaviors may be on your list…but fuck off, make your own god damn list.
1. Your destination is not more important than mine, and vice versa. Cool it. How am I supposed to know that you're driving like an asshole because you need to get to Wetzel Pretzel before they run out of free samples?
2. Selfies must stop. We (in my decaying mind, the general population has clearly appointed me their spokesperson) don't need to see what your face, hair, and clothes look like every day. We're happy that you own more than one shirt and that you hair can part to both sides, but we do not want or need to see them.
3. Eating healthy is a great idea. I do it as much as I can because I wish to remain living. However, what isn't alright is being a high and mighty dickhead because your god damn kale wasn't grown in a puppy mill. Eat what you want, but stop being a fuckface about it. And especially don't tell me what to eat. A large number of these people exclusively buying organic things actually look to be quite malnourished and/or bloated; so I don't need to be told by them that I eat incorrectly. I'll eat what I want, you do the same.
4. We all have camera phones, but we are not all photographers. Take it easy, Ansel Adams.
5. Dress how you want to dress, not how the urban outfitters depicts the douchebags in their ads. When did it become cool to wear a tacky shirt, ugly pants, and moccasins? I'll tell you when: when the assholes wearing them had the all money and started calling shots. Wear what you want. If you confidently wear something you feel strongly about, nothing could be cooler. Dressing like a blind Ace Ventura is not going to be a lasting fashion.6. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you're expert and therefore justified in dispensing advice and/or tips. There are things you know and do well, and there are things that you can simply just do well enough.

I've got to do a lot of unglamorous "stock up" cooking this weekend. But there will definitely be a cream of roasted tomato soup and the first pumpkin muffins of the season. I think a batch of peanut butter granola and some mocha cupcakes need to make it on to the roster as well.
Right now, I'm making a curried zucchini soup. Then it'll be an Indian eggplant dish, Bhurtha. One of my absolute favorites!!
It may be the official first day of autumn but it is 100 degrees here in Northern California. Until it cools off, it is hard for me to get that excited over eating cozy fall foods. But tonight I will be making the prune plum pie posted here a couple of weeks ago and preparing the apple strata breakfast casserole to enjoy tomorrow morning. Blue cheese burgers on the grill and baked steak fries will be this evenings meal and the rest of the weekend is still undecided. But at least I know breakfast and desert is taken care of!
Sweet potato and black bean enchiladas, and pasta with short rib tomato sauce. I think some roasted jalapeno hummus too.
I plan on using up some brown bananas for muffins and then a pasta with cream sauce, chicken and broccoli my kid's favorite. On Sunday, my husband is making me my favorite meal ever. Perfect roast chicken, gravy and rice and green beans and then I will make a buttermilk cake with whipped cream and strawberries for dessert.
Those enchiladas sound GOOD. Got to put sweet potatoes on the grocery list.
Cooking up some penne in cheese and garlic sauce right now, which will be served with brussels sprouts. Roasting some beets as well. I wish I had the energy to make apple crumble but Friday has me exhausted as usual so perhaps tomorrow.
Challah bread pudding with red pears and raisins is in the oven right now. Scrambled eggs cooking stovetop.
Freezing carrots, onions, and chopped celery later. And gorging on the last tomatoes of the season (if I can get my hands on them) at tomorrow's CSA run.
Having friends over for dinner tomorrow, going to try my hand at coq au vin (properly) for the first time! Serving it with roasted fingerling potatos, fresh bread and salad. Dessert will be chocolate peanut butter whoopie pies - it is my boyfriends pre-birthday dinner and anything chocolate peanut butter is his favorite (real birthday is next week but we are going out that night). Wish me luck!
I'm making the Tomato Cobbler from Homesick Texan's new cookbook! It's in the oven now, and I can't wait to try it!
I'm all about Ina Garten's first cookbook this weekend, and in particular planning to try her recipe for raspberry corn scones. Cookbooker is hosting a cooking challenge, where you can win a cookbook. Besides, the recipes look fabulous!
I want what mskapay is having!
I'm definitely ready for pumpkin and pears! We had cinnamon raisin french toast for breakfast that went over really well. Tomorrow will be a pumpkin pull apart bread and Sunday will be spice doughnuts for breakfast (!!) and meatloaf (pioneer woman's is our favourite) and potato galette for dinner.
Just made a kale salad with lemon juice, avocado, red onion and chopped almonds and a burrito made with whole wheat tortilla filled with refried beans, brown rice, grilled red onion and red pepper, diced jalepeno and avocado. The weekend is off to a great start!
honey cake
nothing too special - hummus, a batch of barley for a salad, carrot bread. just to stock up for the upcoming week.
For me, weekend is about desserts. Actually, I need try a lot of recipes so we'll have a smooth Thanksgiving this year. :)
the artichoke olive biscuit bread again (very easy & very good) and probably some kitchen sink pie.
For those of you keen on my enchiladas, the recipe is here: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/2333.
I've made it a few times and it's very good. But um, all the fiber has an effect.
Hummus is here: http://www.bakespace.com/recipes/detail/Roasted-Jalapeno-Hummus/32313/
And short rib sauce is here: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/03/short-ribs-in-tomato-sauce/.
The last two recipes are untried but I know they will be faboosh.
We're not cooking! We're going to the Vendys on Governors Island on Saturday and volunteering at Landmark Feast on Sunday. Nom nom nom.
I haven't the faintest idea. Recently I returned to work very unexpectedly after almost 20 years of being at home. My kitchen is topsy turvy, and the way I did most of my meals doesn't work at all with my new schedule.
My cooking life is in upheaval.
Merry123-In December, I went back to work full time and I have a hard time cooking what I want to cook as opposed to what works. I've recently had to sacrifice entire Sundays in order to get ready for the week ahead-it really helps!
This weekend, I'm making some of my freezer meals-perhaps a batch of muffins. I honestly don't feel very well, a few people in my office have been out sick this week and I think I'm coming down with it.
I've got a loaf of oatmeal bread on the go right now, for sandwiches throughout the week and, most likely French toast for Sunday's breakfast. A big batch of spicy black bean soup with some garlic sausage and yoghurt biscuits is also on the menu, and I'm making a batch of beef and chive potstickers to freeze.
Dinner tonight will be finalized after a trip to the farmer's market, but it's definitely going to involve a braise, and perhaps a kale salad - especially if I can find some lacinato kale. I'm also planning a simple coffee cake for dessert, using the last of the peaches I canned last summer.
I'm having leftovers for actual meals, but making a tiramisu cake from Smitten Kitchen for a friend's birthday tonight, and going to a dumpling making party tomorrow at which I will make my dumpling specialty, Georgian khinkali with lamb and pork. Can't wait for that!
Pears and chocolate. I harvested over 150 pears off my $1 pear tree in the garden, and they'd been wrapped and left to ripen, the first batch is ready to use now. Today for lunch it's crepes with sauteed pear, homemade soft goat cheese, toasted marcona almonds and lavender honey. Tomorrow it's experimenting to come up with new chocolate candy bars so I have something else to gift come Christmastime. Next weekend the apple harvest begins.
Killing chickens and a duck today, smoking said duck tomorrow, ha!
It has been decided that we will indulge in cinnamon and clove monkey bread and fresh apple-pear syrup for dinner. While watching cartoons. In our jammies.
Dinner tomorrow will probably be fava beans with roasted mushrooms and leek sauce. And later this week I want to make the pumpkin and feta muffins from 101 Cookbooks.
Dinner tonight: twice-baked potatoes stuffed with broccoli, caramelized onions, and goat cheese, served with a side of green beans topped with almonds and a big glass of Lambrusco. I will also be making a half-batch of tollhouse cookies with dark chocolate chunks. (I had a not-great week. Cookies make it better.)
It's 90 degrees here today, so tonight's dinner will be grilled Andouille sausage, peppers, and onions with multi-grain baguette, corn pudding, and salad.
Tomorrow, we'll have our usual Sunday morning full English breakfast, then maybe the summer veg mac and cheese from ezrapoundcake. And a couple of dips: Baba Ganooj and Spinach Dip, both from Cook's Illustrated.
Fall has definitely come to my part of the world - dinner out Saturday but roast beef with roasted onions and tomatoes, mashed potatoes, roasted butternut squash and brussell sprouts and prepping for the week on Sunday. I think I'll roast some extra squash so I can make pasta with butternut squash, chile and parmesan sauce - new recipe, I hope the family likes it.
Last night (Friday) was corn macque chou with corn from my CSA and grilled hot links. With a sliced tomato from the garden. Tonight was fried green tomatoes (ditto on the source) with shrimp remoulade on top. Tomorrow will be miso/veggie soup with wontons stuffed with a roasted winter squash puree I made earlier in the week for a risotto. Which rocked ! I *should* use some of the glut of tomatoes for soup, or roast some. Possibly on the agenda, along with possibly an apple pie with the first apples from CSA.
I'm making a batch a Raw Coconut Fudge. Delicious (healthy!) treat.
Usual post-run, post-farmer's market omelets for brunch, acorn squash roasted and stuffed with sausage and spinach for dinner. Good for both of us getting over this cold! Maybe soup tomorrow...
Sunday night dinner was cottage pie with CSA everything! Onions, scallions, carrots, acorn squash, garlic, minced beef, potatoes + red wine. Perfect for fall.
Two meatloaves (one for dinner and one for samwiches), cabbage, mashed turnips, hamburgers (sandwiches again) and cooked a ham( samwiches and way cheaper than deli meat) I hate eating the same thing for lunch everyday.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
We have been following the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (the AODA) and watching for related developments in other provinces. The filing deadline of December 31, 2012, for the Accessibility Standards for Customer Service (the Customer Service Standards) in Ontario is fast approaching.
Recently, the Ministry has provided some guidance on the Integrated Accessibility Standards (the Integrated Standards) and has published a "Guide to the Integrated Accessibility Standards". The Ministry has also released a draft version of the Accessibility Standards for the Design of Public Spaces in the Built Environment (the Built Environment Standards).
Outside Ontario, we are seeing significant developments in this area in Manitoba. The Manitoba government is in the process of adopting accessibility legislation. The government has appointed an Accessibility Advisory Council, which has released a report with recommendations for proposed accessibility legislation.
As of January 1, 2012, most private sector employers with one or more employees in Ontario who are providing goods or services to Ontario customers should be complying with the Customer Service Standards, which require organizations to provide goods and services to customers and third parties in an accessible manner. The Customer Service Standards include requirements to create policies, provide training, notify customers and create a feedback process (For more information, see the Osler AODA resource page.)
Please note: Most organizations with 20 or more employees in Ontario must file a Customer Service Accessibility Report with the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services (the Ministry) on or before December 31, 2012.
Some organizations in Ontario may not be covered by the legislation, as they are subject exclusively to the federal Canadian Human Rights Act and Employment Equity Act.
The Integrated Standards outline new standards in the areas of information and communication, employment and transportation that started to be phased in as of 2011. We have summarized the more immediate compliance requirements below. We will continue to monitor the Integrated Standards and will provide further updates as requirement deadlines approach.
Workplace Emergency Response Information
Employers must provide individualized workplace emergency response information to employees who have a disability if the disability is such that individualized information is necessary and the employer is aware of the need for accommodation.
Emergency Information Accessible to the Public
If an organization prepares emergency procedures, plans or public safety information and makes the information available to the public, the organization must provide information in an accessible format or with appropriate communication supports, as soon as practicable, upon request. For example, information that is given to the public about how emergency alarms work must be provided in accessible formats.
The draft Built Environment Standards which will only apply to new construction and planned development are now available on the Ministry's website (click here for the Standards). The Built Environment Standards include requirements such as installing accessible service counters, accessible seating in waiting areas and accessible parking. The Ministry has stated that enhancements to accessibility in buildings will happen at a later date through Ontario's Building Code.
As we noted above, Manitoba's Accessibility Advisory Council has published a report outlining recommendations for accessibility legislation. The Ministry of Family Services and Labour is inviting public comments on the report until October 21, 2012. The report is calling for legislation very similar to the AODA in Ontario. Please advise us if you would like to send comments on the report.
If you have any questions regarding AODA compliance or whether the requirements apply to your industry, please contact Jim Hassell (416.862.6623) or Golbon Mehrabkhani (416.862.5664) or any other member of the Osler Employment and Labour Department. If there are other individuals in your organization who would like to receive these updates, please contact Golbon Mehrabkhani.

How did it get to Jessops?
Not until tomorrow!
Over the weekend I intend (family mockery permitting) to take pics with my 20D, 40D and 1D.
I will attempt to see if I can really tell the difference between them, image quality wise..
Will somebody do me a test please ?
put a 580 flash gun on after dark, go in to a room with no lights on on one shot and tell me if it can focus using the af assist lights on the flash and how quickly it does it, is it as good as the 20d at rapid dark focus.or as bad as the 1dmkii
Very grateful for any results
Have got one. Can't use it in RAW because Canon disk was corrupt and Lightroom are slow to update for using RAW facility. The JPEGs look good. Great personal functions now mean that I can go to Mirror Lock Up with in one move. Still think one button for this facility would be easier.
No need, my 40D and the Lightroom update have arrived within 20 minutes of each other.
Now to get it unpacked and play.
(Oh, and to do some work as well!)
Personally I find sick a great subject for photos.

Below is a list of my current BBQ-related equipment and gadgets.
Grill Dome Infinity Series Ceramic Kamado (XL model and Copper Color)
This XL Grill Dome Infinity Series Ceramic Kamado is the newest addition to my back porch arsenal of cookers. I've been cooking on the large model Grill Dome Infinity Series Kamado (featured immediately below) since last fall and have quickly fallen in love with ceramic style cookers. This new XL model is Grill Dome's largest cooker and differs from the large model in that it has a 22″ grilling diameter and weighs a 100 lbs more (300 lbs total!!). Though Grill Dome offers 6 colors to choose from, I went with the copper color again because it is absolutely gorgeous and changes various hues as the sunlight hits it from various angles throughout the day. These cookers are without a doubt the most versatile cookers on the market in that you can slow smoke on them but also sear at very high temps. The fuel efficiency of these cookers is also unmatched and I frequently cook large cuts of meat (like Boston butts) 10+ hours with just 5 lbs or so of lump charcoal.
Grill Dome Infinity Series Ceramic Kamado (Large model and Copper Color)
The Grill Dome Infinity Series Ceramic Kamado cooker is the newest addition to my collection of cookers and instantly has become my favorite. I've had my eyes on ceramic kamados for quite some time now and finally pulled the trigger. They are NOT cheap, but they are hands down the most fuel efficient cookers money can buy. The can cook low and slow around the normal 225° – 250° range or they can cook as high as 700° for searing steaks. As long as you take care of them, they will last you a life time. I did a lot of research before investing in one and personally believe that the Grill Dome cookers are the best on the market. Check out more on my Grill Dome post here.
The 22.5″ Weber Smokey Mountain (or "WSM") charcoal water smoker is my primary cooker. It is a vertical "bullet" style smoker that is perfect for low and slow cooking on your back porch. Though these smokers are quite cheap ($300-$400 range) compared to much more expensive smokers on the market, there are competition guys that use these and beat out guys with $30K rigs. No joke. The WSM is one of my true loves.
26.75″ Weber One Touch Gold Kettle
The 26.75″ Weber One Touch Gold Charcoal Grill, or "kettle", is an incredibly versatile BBQ rig that can be used for both grilling and low and slow smoking. Weber currently offers 3 standard size charcoal kettles: a 18.5″, a 22.5″ and the one I have, the 26.75″. If you're just starting out with BBQ'ing, I highly recommend investing in one of the Weber One Touch kettles before investing in a unit like the WSM that is solely meant for low and slow cooking.
Weber Jumbo Joe
The Weber Jumbo Joe is a portable charcoal grill with a respectable 18.5″ cooking grate that has become my one of my favorite cookers for camping, tail gates or quick 1-2 person meals on the back porch. I invested in the Lime Green Weber Smokey Joe you see below before Weber had released this updated Jumbo Joe model in 2013 and sadly, the Smokey Joe gets no more attention now that have this Jumbo Joe For portability, this little cooker just can't be beat because compared to the Smokey Joe models (Silver and Gold), you have significant more grilling real estate and can easily cook for 4-6 people. It's also large enough to perform small, indirect low and slow cooks. I even upgraded this little rig with the 18.5″ Craycort Cast Iron Grate system to make this one heck of little cooker!
Lime Green Weber Smokey Joe
What could be cooler than the ultra portable Weber Smokey Joe? An ultra portable Weber Smokey Joe in Lime Green! The Weber Smokey Joe (available in both a "Silver" and "Gold" model) is perfect for quick charcoal grilling for 2-4 people. Don't be fooled by it's small stature as this guy packs a punch and I cook on mine almost weekly. They normally just come in black, but I scored a rare lime green "Silver" model which I absolutely love. Check out my unboxing video if you'd like.
A "Mini" WSM is essentially a converted Weber Smokey Joe into a vertical style smoker like the Weber Smokey Mountains. They are super portable and despite their seemingly smaller size, they can cook a TON of food. These rigs are great for camping trips, tailgates or cooking for smaller crowds. Check out my full article on how to build the Mini WSM.
The BBQ Guru DigiQ DX2 is a digital BBQ temperature monitoring and control device. Before I invested in the DX2 I cooked everything full blown manual, meaning I had to "babysit" my WSM quite a bit and during long overnight cooks I'd have to get up a couple times to make sure everything was OK. BBQ Guru offers several different temperature controlling devices, some fairly affordable, others pretty steep…but let me tell you…this is probably the best money I have spent on BBQ accessories. It saves me a lot of heartache by taking all of the babysitting part out (especially overnight cooks) and also helps cut down on fuel usage. I HIGHLY recommend investing in one of these. You will not regret it.
Maverick ET 732 Wireless BBQ Thermometer Set
The Maverick ET 732 Wireless BBQ Thermometer Set is my second favorite gadget, next to my DigiQ DX2. The ET 732 is a wireless pit temp and food temp monitoring device that allows me to sit inside the AC and keep an eye on my cooker outside. In my opinion, this gadget, paired with the above mentioned BBQ Guru controller, makes BBQ'ing "easy". I mean, you still need to know what you're doing, but my bros and I will be sitting inside watching football or playing XBOX and all I have to do is glance over at the receiver every once in a while. Before owning this device or the DigiQ, I did everything manually, and that's fine…but man, I LOVE THESE GADGETS and this Maverick ET 732 is one of my true loves.
ThermoWorks Splash-Proof Super-Fast Thermapen
The ThermoWorks Splash-Proof Super-Fast Thermapen is another staple in my digital BBQ device collection. ThermoWorks manufactures several devices used by the FDA and they are very well know for their quality and accuracy. The Splash-Proof Thermapen is accurate to ± .7° F and gives you a reading in just 3 seconds. It is water resistant, has a 1,500 hr battery life and comes in over 10 colors. I of course ,living here in Gator Nation, have one of the best colors they offer: orange. ( I need to get a blue one too I guess…)
Maverick PT-100BBQ Digital Thermometer
The Maverick PT-100BBQ Digital Thermometer is very similar to the Thermapen mentioned above, but it has a back-lit screen which gives it an advantage over the Thermapen when using it in low light conditions. It is accurate to ± 2 ° F and provides a reading within 3-5 seconds. It is also water resistent and shock resistent (though I wouldn't purposely try to test that out…). It also uses 3 AAA batteries which is different than the Thermapen's lithium coin cell battery. To be honest, I really like them both and use them both a lot, but if you were to just get one, I'd go w/ the Maverick so you can see the read out in low light. Check out my video review of it HERE.
iGrill Wireless Bluetooth Digital Grilling Thermometer
The iGrill Wireless Bluetooth Digital Grilling Thermometer is a fancy little grilling gadget that connects to iOS or Android devices via Bluetooth and displays the pit and food temps of your cook environment via the iGrill mobile app. I have the app on both my iPhone 5 and my iPad Mini and must say it works really well. The receiver gives you the option of running either two food probes or one food probe and one pit probe. In addition to monitoring your cook via the iGrill app, you can also check the temps directly on the receiver as well as set temp alarms. When using the pit and food probes together, the app has a cool graphing function that lets you go back and review your pit and food temps during the cook. Check out my full review of the iGrill here.
Kitchen & Grilling Gear
The Meat Rake makes pulling pork a breeze. The rakes are made of professional grade 304 stainless steel and have non-slip polypropylene handles. I also have Bear Paws (featured below), but what I like more about the Meat Rakes is that they allow you to keep your hands out of the greasy meat, whereas with the Bear Paws you hands are much lower and dragging in the meat at times. These are pretty much a must have tool in my kitchen. Grab a set on Amazon here.
The GrillGrate is an interlocking, raised rail grilling surface constructed of hard anodized aluminum that is a exceptional upgrade to any grilling surface b/c it reduces flare ups; produces gorgeous sear marks; provides evenly heat distributed cooking surface; and sizzles and radiates fats and juices back up into the meat. One of the biggest problems with most grilling surfaces is flare ups and over-charring. The GrillGrates raised rail design and catch channels prevent this from happen and I can honestly tell you it has taken my direct heat grilling to whole new level. Check out my full review here.
Bear Paws
Up until I got hooked up with a set of Meat Rakes, I used the Bear Paws exclusively to pull pork. Though I've been reach for my Meat Rakes more often than not lately, there Bear Paws still do a good job. They're plastic so they're not as tough as the Meat Rakes and as I mentioned before, it's also pretty easy to get your hands fairly greasy with the Bear Claws simply b/c they don't have a handle like the Meat Rakes. Don't get me wrong though, these do a great job shredding pork apart, so if those are your only option or they're given to you as a gift, I wouldn't complain, they're still a great tool to have.
If you are an avid follower on my YouTube Channel, then you've no doubt seen these little guys in a lot of my videos. They're perfect for measuring out ingredients for sauces and rubs or for using for serving sauces. They come with lids, but the lids don't seal super great so I wouldn't count on them to keep stuff really fresh if you plan on using them for storage. The lids are more meant for temporarily transporting ingredients somewhere. They come 8 in a set and you can grab some for about $15 here on Amazon.
Bayou Classic Stainless Steel Seasoning and Marinade Injector
I use my Bayou Classic Stainless Steel Seasoning and Marinade Injector all the time for injecting marinades into large cuts of meat like pork shoulders, briskets and whole chickens. There are a ton of debates online whether injecting is necessary to produce good BBQ, and at this point in my BBQ adventures, I really can't give you a solid opinion one way or the other when it comes to tenderness, but I definitely think it's the way to go if you want to experiment with new flavor profiles in your meat. This injector feels solid in your hand and is stainless steel so it's going to last you a long, long time. One tip with this injector: tiny bits of stuff tend to clog the holes in the marinade needle, so all you need to do to remedy that is use some canned air and blast that junk out of there.
A very large cutting board, preferably w/ grooved channels around the edge to catch juices, is absolutely essential in my opinion for prepping and slicing various cuts of meats. I have the Winco CBI-1824 Cutting Board with dimensions of 18″ X 24″ X 1/2. It provides a ton of space for me to prep for my cooks and my wife loves it because it catches all of the raw meat juices and keeps them from flowing off onto the counter. A quick head's up though: this cutting board is so massive that it doesn't even fit in our kitchen sink, so what I normally do is just hose it down outside and then wipe it clean with a Clorox wipe before storing. That's not a deal breaker though b/c this massive cutting board is one of my favorite things in the kitchen. I use it 4-5 times per week.

Sly & the Family Stone were an important and influential band from Vallejo, California, United States. Active from 1966 until 1975, the band was pivotal in the development of soul, funk and psychedelia. Headed by singer, songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist Sly Stone, and containing several of his family members and friends, the band was the first major American rock band to have an integrated lineup in both race and gender.
Brothers Sly Stone and singer/guitarist Freddie Stone combined their bands (Sly & the Stoners and Freddie & the Stone Souls) at the end of 1966. Sly and Freddie Stone, trumpeter Cynthia Robinson, drummer Gregg Errico, saxophonist Jerry Martini, and bassist Larry Graham completed the original lineup; Sly and Freddie's sister, singer/keyboardist Rose Stone, joined within a year.

TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens, Washington Redskins
In the latest edition of "Football Nation Today," Alex talks about the latest news around the world of the NFL:1st Down: Alex briefly talks about the top storylines from last weekend's wild card games, including how shocked he is that so many national football pundits are letting Mike Shanahan off the hook for his handling of Robert Griffin III last Sunday. Shanahan was negligent and irresponsible in his handling of Griffin over the past month, Alex says, and it cost the Redskins the game last Sunday.Looking ahead to this week's divisional match-ups, Alex talks about what he thinks the most underplayed storyline in football is: Peyton Manning's track record of choking in the postseason. Alex also says Matt Ryan has the most pressure on him out of any playoff QB, the Texans don't have the mentality to compete with the Patriots and he tries to prognosticate the stellar Packers/49ers game.2nd Down: The NFL coaching carousal was in the headlines again this week, with Chiefs and Bills h...

The Rivers of Wine
Meandering through the heart of Germany the magical waters of the rivers Rhine and Moselle are renowned for their amazing steep-sided vineyards and the fine wines they yield each Autumn. Our 8 day easy-cruising itinerary takes you to the most dramatic section of the river Rhine, and through the beautiful scenery of the Moselle valley. Simply sit back and enjoy the wonderful spectacle as the landscapes change with each bend in the river
Cologne • Koblenz • Moselle Valley • Cochem • Boppard • Rhine Gorge • Rudesheim • Andernach
Sunday: From selected departure points we cross the Channel to Calais, then into Germany to reach Cologne in time for a late dinner.
Monday: Cruising upstream on the River Rhine we pass the university city of Bonn and enter the Rhine Gorge, where the river winds its way past the Seven Mountains to reach the old Roman town of Andernach by early afternoon. From here we include a coach tour of the Eifel Mountains.
Tuesday: Cruising upstream on the quieter River Moselle, past famous vineyards and picturesque wine villages, to arrive at the favourite tourist centre of Cochem, with its colourful riverside promenade and cobbled alleyways and squares. In the afternoon we include a coach excursion through the Moselle Valley to Bernkastel.
Wednesday: We cruise back to Koblenz and onto the wine town of Boppard, where the remainder of the day is free to explore.
Thursday: Cruise through the most spectacular part of the Rhine Gorge, learning about the legendary Loreley Rock, and passing a succession of ruined hilltop castles. Today's destination is Rudesheim, perhaps the best known of the Rhine Valley resorts, where the Drosselgasse alleyway is full of friendly wine taverns.
Friday: From Rudesheim our coach takes us to the twin riverside villages of St Goar and St Goarhausen, and to the top of the Loreley Rock for views of the river below. We rejoin the ship in Koblenz, mooring adjacent to the old town, re-built since World War II.
Saturday: Return downstream from Koblenz, with a stop at the riverside resort of Konigswinter, before continuing to Cologne.

MCPB Diversity Statement
Mendocino County Public Broadcasting (MCPB), license holder for KZYX and KZYZ, serves a large, mountainous, rural region of northern California. The economy of our area, like much of the United States, has not performed well since 2008.
MCPB offers arguably the greatest available training and practice opportunities for anyone in this area to learn and improve broadcasting-related skills. In its 24 year history, members of staff, volunteer programmers and student interns have benefitted directly from their experience here and then gone on to work at other broadcasting and media organizations.
This tradition continues to this day. We have in the past two years trained six student interns in a variety of broadcast and media production skills, including on-air technique, live recording, studio recording, sound editing, digital audio conversion, web page development, and internet skills related to radio broadcast.
We air a local program that is entirely produced and edited by students (under the adult supervision of an award-winning radio producer) called "Youth Speaks Out." Some of those students have gone on to college and used the skills they learned here to do more work in media, often at their college radio station.
We currently have 108 local volunteer on-air radio programmers, almost all of whom learned the craft here. In addition, we have trained dozens of volunteers in editing and recording skills and taught many of them to create and edit web page content and archives directly related to their programs.
Current MCPB staff benefits from membership in the National Federation of Community Broadcasters (NFCB), which entitles us to take their many training seminars as well as attend their annual national conference. Through our affiliation with the NFCB, MCPB staff members have, in addition to formal learning processes, the ability to converse, network an talk shop with their peers from all around the country. This enhances our individual ability to learn about and potentially seek other work opportunities in the broadcast field.
MCPB reaches out to all parts of our listening area. We encourage all, regardless of age, race, religion or political affiliation to participate. We operate three broadcast studios in our large and spread-out area which makes it easier for volunteers. Our outreach efforts include on-air invitations to come and learn, participation in job fairs (when they occur), booths set up at public events and in public places, and coordination with organized and informal intern programs in the local high schools and college.

Running Technique Refresher: Flat Surfaces
How's your running form? Aches and pains during or after running could indicate that you are running incorrectly, so it's always a good idea to make sure you are practicing proper running technique in order to avoid chronic pain or serious injury. Proper technique may vary according to conditions such as uphill, downhill, flat surfaces, or trail running. Let's start out with a little refresher in flat surface running basics.
1. Keep head, shoulders, and hips in alignment
2. Bend elbows at 90 degrees
3. Look about 10 feet in front of you - at the tip of your shadow-to help keep your spine in alignment
4. Remember there are 4 parts to your stride: high knee, landing, push off, and butt kick. Visualizing a train "chugging along" will help you get the idea of what your movement should look like.
Check out this quick video to learn the basic techniques for running on a flat surface.

John Kuhn, B.J. Raji named to USA Football All-Fundamentals TeamPosted by on January 15, 2014 – 10:59 am
Packers FB John Kuhn and DL B.J. Raji are two of 26 players who have been named to the USA Football All-Fundamentals Team for 2013.
The fifth annual USA Football All-Fundamentals Team recognizes NFL players who employ proper technique, particularly when blocking and tackling, which fosters better on-field performance and inherent safety benefits.
A total of 11 players on offense, 11 on defense and four on special teams were chosen. Each player will receive a $1,500 equipment grant from USA Football to donate to the youth or high school football program of his choice. USA Football, the sport's national governing body in the United States, is the official youth football development partner of the Packers, the NFL and each of the league's other 31 teams.
A fan vote will determine the All-Fundamentals Team captains, one each for offense, defense and special teams. Voting is open until Jan. 29 and can be done by clicking here. USA Football will award each of the three captains a $3,000 equipment grant to donate and an All-Fundamentals Team helmet trophy.

Awesome!!!! I can just imagine little Johnny opening his football cards saying to little Jose: "COOL…I got BJ Raji, he is on the All Fundamentals team"
C'Mon, really??
So,is there a second team All Fundamentists???
When do they play in the Fundamental bowl??
By Dnation on Jan 15, 2014 | Reply
Raji sure does employ proper technique as he get's steamrolled and knocked 5 yards off the line every play.
By Debbie Downer on Jan 15, 2014 | Reply
They gave it to Raji, the giant suet ball. I just knew they would.
By Fourononeoff on Jan 15, 2014 | Reply
Come march neither of these 2 might be on the Packers,especially Raji seeing he turned down 2 offers already.
By northerner on Jan 16, 2014 | Reply
Raji is toooooo slow to play up front. He will be gone before training camp. They need to keep Kuhn merely for the fans in game attendance to call out his name. Other than that he blocks well but given the ball can't gain a yard.

Ragi is too slow and Kuhn is too old.

I do not have a problem seeing Kuhn stay; he is still pretty solid, especially on 3rd down, and he blocks well. Raji….so long. Your lack of productivity and two-year sack drought is unacceptable. Good luck elsewhere.
By Debbie Downer on Jan 16, 2014 | Reply
norterner, Raji's contract ended January 10th. He's technically gone now.

All the better!
By Debbie Downer on Jan 16, 2014 | Reply
Yes, Raji flamed out. I just knew he would. Kuhn got old. I just knew that would happen, too.
By john on Jan 16, 2014 | Reply
Giant suet ball…I knew there was something he reminded me of. The Bears are about ready to cut Peppers, who can play 3/4 or 4/3…hmmmm. They still need another run stuffer though. Pickett's also had it.

Will be interesting to see who throws money at a guy that actually quit trying during his contract year so he could get out of Green Bay.
By Green Tide on Jan 16, 2014 | Reply
Kuhn I can understand and I think he plays his position very well.
I refrained from commenting on how Raji could win a fundamentals award but now why not pile on. He turned down two offers? Where they offers from GB? What has this guy done that warrants keeping him around? Raji is nothing like a suet ball. Suet balls become solid when it gets cold, Raji still flops around.
By BIG CHEESE on Jan 16, 2014 | Reply
It seems fundamentally sound to me for Raji to avoid contact and effort on nearly every play to remain safe. Hands on hips, watch ball carrier run by. Good strategy.
By mrpocatello on Jan 16, 2014 | Reply
Not to many Raji fans anymore.
By MagikMajkowski on Jan 17, 2014 | Reply
Congratulations to those two. Great for the schools getting the donations. Maybe Raji and Kuhn can throw a little extra on top of the $1,500 the are getting.
By Green Tide on Jan 17, 2014 | Reply
@Dagrise And yet you still chose to make it your home….
By calvin Smith on Jan 17, 2014 | Reply
Lol kuhn does get that yard sometimes and he is a fan favorite not to mention he is tough and was the blocker for the NFL rookie of the year 2 be Lacy…Raji kan go he is not an impact player for us now.
By William Lea on Jan 17, 2014 | Reply
Raji, had a cold all year, from all the runners going by him. He gets in his stance, grabs the guy in front and dances in place, while the runners run by him. They he straighten his jersey and dugs on his shirt to go over this pot belly.15 tackles for the year, less then one a game. If the packers bring him back I would use him as a tackling dummy.
By John on Jan 17, 2014 | Reply
So they must have missed the game where Kuhn tried to pick up the kick and fumbled it.
That was one of the dumbest, least fundamentally sound plays by anyone, all year.

Raji basically has done nothing this year so does that warrant him being kept here?
Time for him to move on!
It's unfortunate but he certainly didn't prove that he is worth what the Pac is paying him!
On a different note, its going to be a big loss for the Pac to see Kevin Greene step down.
Maybe when he comes back into coaching, it will be time for MM to step down and have KG become the head coach!
To all Packer fans out there, get ready, were're going to go into a couple of lean years, don't say I didn't warn you!
Just like we were un-prepared when AR went down, we are definitely unprepared to be able to loose valuable coaches like KG.
We are not the elite team we once were, we need to make some changes from the top down.
Elite teams win with defense and offensive superiority.
That is something we haven't had for three years now.
The Niners have evolved into that elite status based on their defense and offensive game planning. Their defense far outshined us, hope we learned from it!
The winds of change are upon us!
We need a new and fresh outlook going into next season.
MM still hasn't said anything about the DC, think he's avoiding the issue right now.
Just keep wondering what Vince would have done!!!!
Lets pray for some positive moves!!!!!!

I just know everything, jon. I know that "allan, Conn" is right about everything, too. Unless he isn't.

Kevin Greene for head coach, right Allan. He's turned down ten offers already.

The Raji pick is a head scratcher. Fullbacks area dying breed in today's NFL. Kuhn's spot on the team may be too valuable for no more than Kuhn is used.

While we await the news of Microsoft's next move in its pursuit of the unsolicited Yahoo acquisition, the Wall Street Journal has learned that the software giant plans to spend $1.5 billion to retain Yahoo employees should a merger - or takeover - occur.
The plan was revealed in court transcripts regarding a suit by shareholders against Yahoo's directors. The shareholders who filed the suit feel that Yahoo hasn't responded in good faith to Microsoft's bid. The suit was brought forth by two Detroit pension funds. The lawyers for the funds argued that a recent expansion of Yahoo employee benefits make it difficult for shareholders to get maximum value should an acquisition take place.
