I feel that if the food is great and the service is outstanding, then a generous 20% tip is in order.
1. 20% should be everyone's baseline tip
2. Don't get a server's attention by snapping your fingers, jangling your keys, etc
3. Don't say you're ready to order when you aren't
4. If the server asks if you want an appetizer the correct answer isn't "free bread"
5. Don't hold a table for longer than you really need to especially on a weekend night
6. Don't blame the server for changes to the menu
7. Don't tell the server they cooked your entree wrong
8. Don't hand your server a credit card and a gift card and feel the need to tell them to run the gift card first - they know how to do their jobs

Gamecast: April 10th, 2010 - Cubs at Reds
Carlos Zambrano (0-1, 54.00 ERA) Vs. Aaron Harang (0-1, 5.40 ERA)
So here we are once again. One of the beautiful things about baseball is that no matter what happens the day before, the next day gives an opportunity to forget all that nasty "Bullpen fail" that came before. After yesterday's 5-4 suckfest, I'm sure we all will be looking for a better taste in our mouths' today.
Carlos Zambrano gets the start for the Cubs, and after a disastrous 1st start I'm predicting he will bounce back in a big, big way today. Look for him to keep his walks lower, and go about 6 to 7 innings today.
Who's Hot
Cubs Starting Pitchers - Since Zambrano's opening day shenanigans, Cubs' starters have given up 2 runs in three games. Unfortunately they only got 1 win out of those games, but hey, it's early, right?
Who's Not
Cub's Bullpen - See the game recap for proof. Someone not named "Sean Marshall" needs to step up soon.
The Cubs need to start putting up more insurance runs, and the 8th inning bullpen awfulness needs to end. I predict a solid bounce back effort, and free chocolates for all.

This conversation is closed.
Solving gun violence in the US in today's insane political climate requires a solution that makes it painless for everyone.
First that this idea even needs to be broached in the first place is ridiculous especially given the lack of clarity in the second amendment (eg it does not specify types of arms so that should be handled by laws not as a "do what you will free for all").
That said it seems there are some major elements that would be necessary to reduce gun deaths in the US and there are some obfuscating interests embodied in the NRA that must be sidestepped or accommodated in the solution.
Four main areas of focus jump out to reduce gun deaths:
1) "mass killings" (included in this would be the 2 or 3 person shootings as well as as Newtown or Aurora types)
2) Accidental shootings
3) Non-owner shootings (eg the shooter is not the owner of the gun)
4) "black market" trading
Added to these I would say the parameter that makes gun control legislation difficult is gun manufacturer revenue stream protection using the second amendment as a shill.
So what are the necessary parameters to make something happen vs. the absurdity of what is going to happen over the next few months in Washington:
1) Figure out a way that shifting policy creates more revenue for gun manufacturers so they get the NRA on board
2) Make sure that guns cannot be used in public places or by someone other than their owner
The Idea - Mandatory gun locks and universal kill switches.
On locks, all responsible gun owners have gun safes. Why not move the lock to the gun's trigger mechanism either with a combination code or biometric locks. That would prevent unauthorized use of the gun by anyone but the owner.
On kill switches, in the same locking mechanism put a chip and actuator that freezes the locking mechanism mentioned above when it receives a certain modulated radio signal.
If mandatory then all existing guns will have to be refitted with the new bolt mechanism creating revenue streams for the gun manufacturers and on all new guns they can charge more creating more revenue.

Jan 29 2013: This is an obvious fact that people need to get through their heads - Bad people do bad things, but them having access to guns only makes their bad deeds worse. We need to get guns out of as many hands as possible because it makes violence and mass murder so much easier. Nobody could walk into a school with a knife and kill 20 people before being stopped, but with a gun it is really easy. It makes me sick that politicians are more hell-bent on regulating the size of soft drinks consumers can buy than controlling guns. Apparently most people in Washington believe soda drinks are a bigger threat than guns. Absolutely idiotic, and something needs to be done.
Jan 29 2013: Guess what, people will get guns regardless of what you ban. I lived in England and hung around with some shady people (Never got into their "activities") but I was told by a friend that if I ever needed protection (A Desert Eagle) that he could get me one. (Only 800 Pounds) I couldn't believe it! In the most regulated country in the world!
Laws only restrict the Law-Abiding. Criminals do not and will not follow your rules.
Jan 29 2013: I agree totally Jazz, but it will make it harder than it is now to get a hold of them. It is a fact that if people want something bad enough they can get it, but I just think regulating firearms will make them less common. The fact that anyone can walk into a gun show, here in Nebraska, and purchase a weapon without a background check and training is crazy. This will stop the people who get an idea and one day decide to randomly walk into a mall and gun down 50 people. You can never stop everything, I agree with you on that, but trying to is better than sitting aside and doing nothing while children and innocent people die.
Jan 30 2013: If people want to make a difference they should look at themselves and the people they are responsible for first. Do I think that everyone should own a gun? No, I don't. Will I make it so that they cannot get a gun? No. It is not my decision. If they ever threaten my life or the life of my family I will defend myself. But my job is not to "save" anyone but myself and my family.
Jan 30 2013: That seems a little selfish to me. I totally agree with you that we need to look hard at ourselves and our loved ones first. The problem with society now is that there is no community. Everyone seems to have your sentiment about 'I am going to get mine and others are not my responsibility." We live in an age where we have to work together or our way of living will fall apart. We need to look out for each other like it is our nature to, and care for the well-being of people as a whole. It saddens me to hear you say it is not your job to "save" anyone else. If your kid were in school and something bad happened wouldn't you want someone to step up and save him. I would, so it is everyones responsibility to save each other and protect other people's loved-ones. That is how humans survive.
Jan 30 2013: Do not get me wrong, if I have the opportunity presented in front of me I will defend those in my immediate surrounding. As long as doing that does not threaten my family. If it is a decision between saving any number of people or getting my family out of a situation safely, I will safely extract my family. Is that selfish? Yes, and I am ok with that.
Jazz Sutto
Jan 31 2013: Eric: Yes , something does need to be done. What we should work on the this US popular idea that murder is exciting, entertaining, and can be "useful". It is one of those cases where leading by example would be a big help, but our President, for example, is going in the Opposite Direction, earning praise for having the "courage" to have various people assassinated around the world. Not to mention our Army doing the same thing. No trials, no formalities, no concern for "collateral damage". No wonder some young people who are not very "tightly wrapped" go on shooting sprees. And if it is a matter of the evil influence of "guns", why are not the Swiss doing this? They have more guns than we do.
Jan 31 2013: I totally agree Shawn. The system is broken and you are completely right. Murder is glorified, but don't you think it will take a combination of reducint the romanticism of murder and controlling access to the weapons that do it. How many people have guns just because they are cool (I can think of many just in my family). There is a side that wants to ban all guns and a side that wants to keep all guns and control how killing is seen. I subscribe to the theory that the answer is somewhere in between.
shawn disney 10+Jan 31 2013: Eric: I'm glad, and impressed , that you agree about the murder glorification concept. I see that as the major problem. As to the second part of your idea, we should give careful thought to just how "Gun Control" could actually be made to work, as anything more than a useless , counter productive "feel -good" sham. And you soon would have to conclude that it would require a Police State to do it, and a far more efficient one than the Soviet Union ever was. It would amount to a coup, if carried out.And all this to "save the children"?! By the way, let's note that a lot of those "children" (below 21 years old) are actually drug gang assassins, totaling many more than merely innocent bystanders. Sad, but true, that G.C. would not save a single one, and might actually make it worse.
Jan 31 2013: I definitely see where you are coming from. Maybe these should be state laws then instead of a federal mandate. Take certain types of guns and large volume clips and make just them illegal to own outside of a licensed gun range. This would require a task force like the DEA, but most people don't have a problem with the DEA (it's essentially the same concept.) It doesn't have to be a military effort to get all guns gone, It would be a state regulation and a branch of the police we already have. I don't see us taking a drastic turn like a Police State to enforce this. It would reduce at least some (not all, but some) of the unnecessary killings made by people who get drunk break into their dad's gun case and go to the mall to cause havoc (organized crime is a different story). Do you think this idea could work?
Feb 1 2013: Eric : I'm sorry to say this, but we are not the Swiss. Your plan might work with them, , but then, they don't need it. In the US, we have a large contingent of fairly ordinary people, let's call them Rednecks, who are very suspicious that ANY G.C. measure is merely a cover for mass confiscation, as it developed in Britain and Australia. This kind of person is well aware that G.C. ONLY affects ordinary people , not criminals, and they assume there is an ulterior motive in the whole thing, since it would only facilitate some kind of government takeover, by...(name your favorite bete noir) While I am not a redneck myself, I appreciate their good qualities, especially their concern with the Constitution , as well as common sense when it comes to fending off attackers, etc.I am so "Liberal" I have been accused of being a Communist in the past, but on this issue, the Rednecks are absolutely right, and in a common sense kind of way. Liberals these days are very far from Jeffersonian thinking, as is the Democratic party. They not only don't trust people, they brag about how they run screaming from the room if they see a gun anywhere. Jefferson would be appalled to think that the "Enlightenment" has come to this.
Feb 1 2013: Yes, you are absolutely right. I am from Nebraska and live around a lot of those "Rednecks". The thing is that no matter how many conspiracy theories they can come up with they will never do anything about it, and if they do it will be short lived before the next theory abounds. (have you heard about the flouride conspiract in the drinking water, its all I heard about for about a month and now, nothing.) However, they are also a little backward in their thinking. When having these types of discussions with people like that they romanticize past times and look badly on the future and we cannot do that. WE have to embrace the future and make it a better place than our past was, and not fall into their thinking of recreating the past.
shawn disney 10+Feb 1 2013: Eric: I admire your enthusiasm. Part of the problem is that a lot of people feel "disenfranchised". Yes, I've heard about how fluoride is a plot to dispose of industrial waste into the drinking water, on the basis of purportedly shoddy science. But since it has been banned in many European countries, I'm still waiting to see what the truth is.
Feb 1 2013: There are things that we do not know for sure. I do not know if there is a right answer to this G.C. question though. The more I talk to people the more I start to feel both sides have valid arguments. There are very intelligent people on both sides. I wish our policy makers could sit down and have convorsations like this. Maybe they need to take a page out of this book and something might get done or at least they could find middle ground. It is nice to see this many people who genuinely care for the well-being of our country. I think we can all agree on that.

continued "Everybody's always worried about Jeff Edwards," Mancuso said. "But when you give Miller the ball, you see he's an athletic runner, and he cracks it. They kind of forget about him because Jeff is so good and when they forget about him, the coach up in the box reminds me of him, and we give him the ball."
Another Miller touchdown run with 9:29 left in the half extended Liverpool's lead to 21-6. After Dustin Springer scooped up a muffed Proctor punt and ran it back for the score, it appeared Liverpool would head into the break with a double-digit lead.
But in only 76 seconds, Treen drove the Raiders 66 yards. Elliott took a sweep right 30 yards to cap it off and pull Proctor within 28-18.
On the ensuing kickoff, Liverpool's Pat Twum juked and jived his way past a slew of Raiders tacklers 85 yards and into the end zone. However, while attempting to stretch the ball over the pylon, Twum fumbled, and it was ruled a touchback.
Treen then hit Chris Simmons on an improbable, 78-yard bomb with four seconds left in the half. Liverpool's 16-point lead was reduced to three in only 58 seconds.
"I was really concerned about them at halftime with us giving up 14 points in (a minute)," Mancuso said. "That really takes the breath out of you, but we have great kids. They just battled."
Proctor took the lead early in the second half. Elliott returned the opening kickoff 80 yards and punched it in from the five on the very next play.
But Mancuso went right back to Edwards and Miller. Carrying the ball nine times on the Warriors 11-play, 56-yard scoring drive, the duo continued to grind down the stacked Raiders front. Utica Proctor put as many as nine players in the box in the second half. Edwards finished the drive and put Liverpool back on top with a one-yard plunge.

TEAMS: Boston Red Sox
From ESPN Boston Starting today at 4:30 p.m., Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine will call in for a weekly segment on the Michael Kay Show on ESPN New York Radio 1050. Each week, we'll also promote the appearance right here on ESPNBoston.com and recap it with the audio clip and partial transcript. The time and day will vary from week to week, but we'll keep you updated. For starters, you can CLICK HERE to listen today at 4:30. Why isn't he doing it on one of the two Boston networks? Is Bobby still a slave to ESPN? Does this mean Mazz has more fodder to trash Valentine with? Will Curt Schilling somehow make this about himself? Does this affect Valentine's position as Director of Public Safety for the city of Stamford, CT? How many titles can I add a question mark to in one day? In the grand scheme of things this isn't a big deal at all. It's just Bobby earning a little extra cash in a much bigger market than Boston. I'm sure he'll still call in to the B...

For Immediate release:Majority Caucus Louisville Metro CouncilContact: Tony Hyatt 574-4137/526-3622Councilman Dan Johnson (D-21) is sending out the word to residents of District 21 that his annual Town Hall Meeting will be Monday, October 12 at 6:00 PM at the Beechmont Community Center.
"We have many things going on in this District that I would like for everyone to know about," says Johnson. "I especially want to people to come out and get a progress report on the new firehouse for the Beechmont area."
Chief Greg Fredrick of Louisville Fire and Rescue will be one of the many Metro Government officials who will attend the meeting. Recently, it was announced that over $3 million of federal stimulus money has been designated to get a state of the Art Station built on Ashland Avenue.
"This new fire house has been a public safety priority of mine for many years," says Johnson. "We want to make sure the community knows how it is moving forward."
Other areas of Metro Government have been invited to attend including Louisville Metro Police, Metro Parks, Public Works, IPL and MSD.
"There are other issues we have been keeping an eye on as well including the recent flooding," says Johnson. "This is a good opportunity to learn more about the backflow program of MSD to help homeowners minimize flooding."
For more information about the District 21 Town Hall meeting, contact Councilman Johnson's office at 574-1121.

Pressure on Hogan Lovells to inform Met of fraud
Readers' comments (27)
I think that the bloke has probably had enough so its best that people leave him alone. Its an internal matter for HL and they should be able to deal with it as they want. He probably had no intention to permanently deprive ... etc.
"He probably had no intention to permanently deprive ... etc."
Exactly. Its not like he's some robber running off with a bag of swag. He's a gentleman and has generously decided to return the money in full.
Frankly it would be a waste of police time to involve them at stage this when the matter has been settled to the satisfaction of all concerned and the politics of envy types on here ought to pipe down.
I read lots of comments previously, that the man in question was very nice to work with and that this behaviour is entirely out of character. Being dismissed and publicly humiliated in this way is probably punishment enough for this man, who may well be suffering enough from whatever caused him to act this way in the first place.
It's very easy to stand there on your moral high horse, not knowing what this man was going through at the time, and more to the point, what he is going through now.
I do hope that none of you are ever in his shoes, feeling as low as he probably does and for people to show you as little sympathy as you are showing him.
He is only human for God's sake.
The codswallop continues. Would Anon @ 4:38 being saying the same thing about a secretary who stole from the firm (cf what happened to the Goldman Sachs seccy a few years ago)? Would (s)he be worrying about how low someone is feeling who nicked some food because their monthly benefit had run out? Fat chance.
It embarrasses me to read some of the morally and intellectually bereft drivel on this page. It would be bad enough coming from a thieving clutch of bankers. From lawyers, it beggars belief.
Someone who steals a million pounds is a thief, pure and simple. It's a while since I last prosecuted, but I recall that factors such as being highly educated, stealing from your friends etc. make the matter worse, not better.
And please don't denounce me as some jealous leftie. I vote Tory and that's one of the reasons why I hate dishonesty.
These comments are hilarious:
@ City Gent | 23-May-2011 11:44 am: "Getting the police involved really would be to blow this little incident out of all proportion". Yeah, stealing 1 million is not really a big deal is it - let the police just focus on some 16 year old stealing a bra from Top Shop or a pack of crisps from WH Smith. This is actually one of the largest thefts of the year and the police should look at it. More so that he was in a position of trust. So what if he paid it back - that makes it alright then does it - would he have given it back if he didn't get caught?
@Anonymous | 23-May-2011 4:38 pm: "Being dismissed and publicly humiliated in this way is probably punishment enough for this man, who may well be suffering enough from whatever caused him to act this way in the first place". What caused him to act in this way is that he is a thief. So if Hitler was "publicly humiliated" and had some life issues to deal with, that would be enough punishment too then? Also: "It's very easy to stand there on your moral high horse, not knowing what this man was going through at the time, and more to the point, what he is going through now". Err "moral high horse" - you mean having a distaste for thieves - whether you wear a suite or a balaclava, if you steal 1 million you should be incarcerated for at least a decade. So if he was having a hard time that's ok then is it - let him off? So you would let all the burglars and muggers off too would you because they could argue they were going through a hard time no doubt! And "what he is going through now" - If he is upset then good - that is part of the justice system - you get caught - you suffer the consequences.
The police will do nothing and neither will the SRA though - City lawyers have still not been investigated and struck off for advising on financial products that contributed the financial crisis yet (and then being allowed to advise on the restructuring and insolvency too). This guy will probably land a job in the FSA next week as a special advisor on financial crime.
Why not the police? Easy - HL doesn't want the police mucking about in the books and records.
I call 'Godwin' on this thread.
He should have got a 'super'-injunction to prevent this all coming out....
The Police or the SRA may do nothing, but he should be also referred to Companies House for an investigation as to whether he is fit to hold Corporate Office again.
To the person who posted a comment to the effect that "he's only human", what are you on? I'm also "only human" and would never blag a million from my mates ... or anyone for that matter. If he was such a nice bloke / chap / egg ... he wouldn't have STOLEN from them. SIMPLES.

Styling pages using the mobile module
29 October 2012 at 3:06pm
Hi there
I have installed the mobile module and it is working really well, I am just confused as to how I would create individual templates for the pages when they are shown on the mobile? It seems it just reads the page template and not the extended pages. For example the home page on the full site is using the homepage.ss template but if I add homepage.ss to my mobile theme it doesn't work.
Please can somebody help me as I have quite a few different page templates to accommodate.
Thanks in advance

The mobile module if I'm not mistaken allows you to use a different theme directory for mobile. So you would have themes/yourtheme for desktop and themes/mobilethemename for mobile. Make sure the configuration is set up in the settings tab for mobile to use the mobilethemename.
After adding any new templates much sure you've ?flush=1.

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones is watching his team sit comfortable atop the NFC East and the team can continue impress during the 2013-14 NFL regular season with another win this weekend when they travel to Qualcomm Stadium to take on the San Diego Chargers.
The Cowboys have been impressive throughout the first three weeks of September, but Jones still seemed a bit surprised when he looked at the betting lines and saw his team listed as the favorite to take home the win.
"I'm surprised we're the favorite, being on the road," Jones said in a video on the official team website.
While Jones was surprised the team isn't the underdog during their road trip, he did admit he is very happy with the strides the team is making and what they could accomplish this season.
"This team is getting better, and this team is better than the team we've had the last few years," he added.
Jones is hoping that his team can live up to those expectations and come away with the road win, which would help them continue to show they are the class of the NFC East.

DIY Sock Potholder
Saving the World—and Burnt Fingers—One Sock at a Time
(Hello again to Jen, one of the bloggers trying out for a spot on the Re-Nest editorial team. Her first post on Water Bottle Notebooks can be found here. Comments are welcome!)
Where do missing socks go? More importantly, what to do with the remaining single sock? Until now, my useless spares were regulated to an (overflowing) drawer for a TBA reunion. So I was thrilled—and so was my boyfriend, who now has extra closet space—when I found a way to repurpose the extras into a potholder.
Remember weaving kits from summer camp? Back then, the cotton rings that came with the loom were actually surplus fabric from sock factories, but today they are manufactured. In an attempt to be green, I got retro by cutting a few unmatched socks into1/4 inch thick loops. Because of their tube shape, socks are perfect for making the bands -- just wash them first!
You can find directions for the weaving process here. I purchased my potholder loom from a craft store, but you could just as easily make your own by nailing brads into scrap wood. Space the brads a 1/4 of an inch apart in a square the size of a potholder. Just like when I was a kid…I'm giving it to Mom for her birthday.
7 Comments
talk about a blast from the past! i remember the sock scrap potholders. my mom still uses the ones i made as a kid. now, our dog likes to steal socks--so we have plenty of leftovers and i'm thinking this is what i should do with them.
I actually tried doing that once but I wasn't too wild about the loops I came up with. It may have been that I wore the socks out just a little too far... ;)
This project looks great -- my daughter is a fiend for making potholders with her loom but decent, mostly cotton loops get pretty expensive. So now we can use up our old socks AND continue making enough potholders to carpet our whole house :)
Awesome - I'm about to go through and weed out my worn out socks, so now I know exactly what to do with them!
no way! these are cute! my boyfriend just made me trash all my old socks. my idea was to make a quilt out of them, but he told me there was no way he would sleep under a quilt of old socks....
2.5 yrs later, I post this... but
You don't have to purchase a plastic loom.
You can hammer nails into a block of wood, or a little picture frame.

Cartooning trick in Nate Beeler's Haiti cartoon
Nate's cartoon today, Helping Hand in Haiti, represents an interesting thing one can do with comic art. Nate made one large drawing, but then put the idea of time into the drawing by adding in the rectangle on the one side. our familiarity with the mechanics of comics means this functions as a brake on the reader's eye, so that the illusion of the passage of time is created even in one continuous drawing.

That's a trick I borrowed from Scott Stantis. I remember him using it in a few "Prickly City" Sunday strips that I thought were simply beautiful.

I am, as we know, a little odd. My first question to Tony Gonzalez involved not the sport he has been hired by the Falcons to play but the one he played as a lark in college. "So how many points," I asked last week, "did you have against Villanova in the NCAA tournament?"
A bit of background: Villanova was the No. 4 seed in the East Regional in 1997, and Cal — Gonzalez's team — played the Wildcats in the second half of a Round 2 doubleheader on a Saturday in Winston-Salem. This game was widely ignored nationally and locally because Dean Smith had broken Adolph Rupp's record for career victories in the first game, and North Carolina basketball tends to be a big deal everywhere but especially in Winston-Salem, N.C.
But does Gonzalez recall the game? Oh, yes. "Twenty-three," he said, in answer to my question. "Tim Thomas [who's still in the NBA] had eight. We were guarding each other."
Which brings me, albeit in a roundabout manner, to A.J. Green. It was in Tempe, Ariz., last September that he rose and snatched — that's the only proper description — a Matthew Stafford pass from the desert sky, and I sat upstairs and said to myself, "That wasn't a catch. That was a rebound." So last week at Media Day I asked him: What kind of basketball player were you? Pretty good?"
"I was OK," he said, and he smiled.
Where'd you play? Small forward? "Everywhere. Forward. Point guard. Everywhere."
What'd you average? "About 25," he said.
Did you ever think of playing both sports in college? "Sometimes. But football is my first love."
And I say that's a shame. Not that he's playing the wrong sport — I like football, too — but I figure he's so gifted he could walk onto Georgia's basketball team in mid-January and be starting, Gonzalez-like, by February.
Indeed, here's the Charleston Post and Courier's recap of Green's performance for Summerville (S.C.) High in the 2008 Class AAAA state title game against Spartanburg, and you'll gather from Philip M. Bowman's account that Mr. Green did more than OK that night. He scored 25 of his team's 50 points, took nine rebounds and blocked three shots. (Heck of a game, too: A 60-footer that would have won the game for Spartanburg was waved off by the refs.)
But enough basketball. Green's favorite catch as a Georgia freshman wasn't the one in Tempe but the one in Lexington, Ky. "The game-winner," he said, smiling again. As for 2009:
Does he worry the offense will become more run-oriented with a new quarterback? No, Green said. "The offensive coordinator [Mike Bobo] has confidence in Joe [Cox] and his ability to step up and lead the team."
With Stafford and Knowshon Moreno gone, does the sophomore feel like the old man of the offense? "I guess it's me and Mike [Moore, a fellow receiver]. But we've still got some things to learn."
What does the addition of Orson Charles, an ebullient freshman tight end, mean for the offense? "Orson's a great tight end. He's going to do great things. He reminds me [disposition-wise] of Knowshon."
And what Georgia receiver, you're asking, does Green most resemble? Well, I haven't seen them all, but I did see Gene Washington and Lindsay Scott and Andre Hastings and Brice Hunter and Fred Gibson and Reggie Brown, and each was very good. But Green has the potential to better than all of them. He is, not to put any pressure on him, a talent on the order of Randy Moss and Calvin Johnson. He's an All-American.

Give it a rest with the constant questions to every single player about the former QB and running back going to the NFL!
Sheesh, all of you need to just leave that part of the history alone, and, as Lou Holtz said way back yonder when he had to kick his 2 best players off the team before the Orange Bowl against Oklahoma in 1978, and he was continually asked about it, "we only talk about the players who are here"!
August 10th, 2009
3:01 pm
I think AJ will have 1500 yards this season…even with the double-teams he will see all season. Moore and Troup will really step up there game as well and take some pressure off of AJ on the other side. Brown looks tough in practice and will create a big mismatch for smaller corners.
When we play a team with a poor secondary like Okie State or South Carolina, AJ will probably have 200 yards a piece. He will be virtually unstoppable.

His playoff performance on a whole that season was incredible. Not only is this story great, but the relationship he shared w/ the JV Basetball coach who was tragically killed in the Sofa Super Store fire is also very good. That is the piece that Outside the Lines did on ESPN. I followed AJ since he was a Freshman in High School and have never witnessed a better athlete in person. Not even Carlos Dunlap who played at the rival Fort Dorchester.

AJ nursed a bum ankle all last season as well, if I recall correctly. I can't wait to see him full speed. He is also, by far, the best freshman WR I have ever seen at UGA. The only other who comes close is Terrance Edwards. But not THAT close.

A.J. Has a long way to go to get to Calvin Johnson status. Calvin put up his numbers with an awful quarterback who could never hit his targets or remember what down it was. Imagine what Calvin could have done as a freshman with a quality quarterback like Stafford throwing to him? My guess is a lot better than A.J Green last year.

Carlos Dunlap while a phenomenal athlete in High School (At 6′6 240 he returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown- I saw this in person) had a terrible attitude. He displayed this several times throughout his tenure at Fort D. Dunlap might not have even been the best defensive player on his team. Robert Quinn was a gifted defensive end and a state wrestling champ who had offers from essentially every D-1 school, but suffered a brain tumor that cost him basically his senior year in High School.
Dunlap may go higher in the Draft, but on a high school level AJ Green commanded TRIPLE COVERAGE his Senior year. Despite that he was still able to go over 1000 yards receiving.
August 10th, 2009
4:50 pm
Is it 09/05 yet?
August 10th, 2009
4:55 pm
Lowcountry bulldawg,
AJ commanded triple coverage? What exactly are you smoking? That's got to be the dumbest statement I've seen all year. The kid is not superman and he's not even the best wr in the sec. Julio Jones is vastly superior to this kid and he proved it against you guys head to head. Give it a rest. TRIPLE COVERAGE MY ARSE!
August 10th, 2009
4:59 pm
Research it yourself. A corner back, the had a Linebacker in the zone and rolled a safety to his side. That is triple coverage. That is a fact not an opinion. Go research Bowmans article with the Post and Courier. Again, feel free to show your lack of intelligence with name calling if it makes you feel better.
August 10th, 2009
5:26 pm
AJ is no Calvin Johnson. Calvin was smothered by the Dawgs D his last game. I don't see that happening to AJ. Well unless he is smothered by the Dawgs D, but that is for an alternate Universe.

UGA most likely won't beat Florida, but will at some point during AJ Green's career here. UGA will beat Tech because it's not 2016 yet, which is when Tech is schedule to beat UGA again.

Calvin Johnson could probably beat AJ in World of Warcraft. He did go to Tech don't ya know. Oh my God I am starting to talk like these people.
August 10th, 2009
5:45 pm
AJ is already showing much more potential than Calvin "2-Catch" Johnson. The Dawgs smothered him on defense. Paul Oliver, Minter & co. locked 2-Catch down every time.
August 10th, 2009
5:47 pm
You prove my point exactly when you stated the linebacker was in the zone. Exactly. In zone coverage a linebacker covers a "zone" not a person. A safety naturally rolls over on either side to help out the corner if the wr gets a step past the corner. You make it sound like AJ automatically has 3 guys assigned just to cover him which is absurd. No defense can afford to put 3 guys on one single guy and then be exposed against every other skill player. How ridiculous is that?
August 10th, 2009
6:16 pm
I foresee AJ setting receiving records at UGA and in the SEC during his tenure here. Cox this year, Gray/Murray/Mettenberger (all good qbs) the following years.
August 10th, 2009
6:23 pm
AJ still has a good amount of work to do to be as good as Calvin was. Calvin was an automatic touchdown on fade routes when Tech was inside the 10 yard line. AJ hasn't reached that level of dominance, but he is quite a talent. He's still young, so who knows how good he really is. However, I do think that Julio Jones has shown more potential so far than AJ.
August 10th, 2009

I still can't believe Munson is gone . . . just damn

August 10th, 2009
7:35 pm
What about Marlon Brown for the 2 sport act? He is still listed at some of the recruiting sites as both a football and basketball signee at UGA. When I was in Athens in June the coaches wouldn't say anything about it; just that no decision had been made on whether he would, or could play both sports.
Please let the next 25 days go by quickly! Go Dawgs!
August 10th, 2009
7:52 pm
Hey Saint Simons, how many times has Tech won in the last decade? Must be nice to go all over the AJC website and post last year's score. I'm guessing that you have no job? That Tech degree's really helping you, right?
August 10th, 2009
8:04 pm
Any reference to Lou Holtzzzzz is a waste of words. I can't stand the man as a analyst. ESPN needs to hire some SEC analyst and get rid of the guys who constantly want to talk about how great Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, and Southern Cal are. Since ESPN has signed the huge contract with the SEC, they need to show us the deserved respect.
August 10th, 2009
9:54 pm
Coach buck I will buy Mark a beer when he shows up at the Masters but he is not my type. I stick to females.
Jason, I think from what I saw last year that AJ has a fairly good understanding of the ten yard fade route.
August 10th, 2009
11:00 pm
Yep, those green wraped Pimento cheese sandwiches are worth the three thousand for the ticket.
August 10th, 2009

Fred Gibson had a much better freshman season than A.J. Green and he had to catch passes from David Greene who has the arm strength of a high school quarterback. His freshmen season was the best single season for a wide receiver in UGA history per game average. (He didnt play the first 4 or 5 games). He was also an incredible basketball player and could have entered the MLB draft if he wanted to after playing only his senior year of baseball.

SYNTHA-6™ can be used before your workouts as a pre-workout concoction that you can use to help you get the most out of your workouts. Alternatively, BSN Syntha-6 can be used as a recovery drink after your workouts in order to help you regain your peak energy levels so that you can get on with the rest of your day. No matter how you look at it, the fact of the matter is that Syntha-6 has a lot to offer just about anyone that is interested in taking their fitness regiment to the next level.
In a nutshell, the point of Syntha-6 is protein provision. In other words, BSN Syntha-6 protein supplements exist to provide more protein than your body needs. That protein can then be burned up during the workout process to create more muscle mass or it can be used throughout the day to help you recover your energy from a workout that started at the beginning. This is important because it means that instead of using one product for pre-workout, one product for recovery and one product for general energy boost, you can get all of those purposes just from BSN Syntha-6. This can save you money and time in the long run.
Product main features:
«constantly release, ensure smooth blood sugar and blood have stable amino acids flow.
«muti_function protein mixed formula, all of the body to protein digestion and absorption of state, the ideal recovery after training products

Follow These Five Simple Steps to Make it Past the Customs Department
Posted on October 20th, 2010 by Renaldo Smith
Okay so you just landed in the United States from a foreign country, and the last thing you want to do is spend hours at the airport waiting to clear Customs. You know, those departments where they go through your baggage to make sure you are not importing anything illegal? Although you won't be able to control the number of people ahead of you in line, you do have some control over how quickly your customs agent stamps your passport once you make it to the front. Before you panic, know that the process can be extremely simple unless you make it difficult.
Follow These Five Simple Steps to Conquer Your Fears of Making it Through Customs Without the Help of Professional movers.
- Pack wisely: Before you board the plane, you already know Custom agents will be waiting for you once you get to America. So, why would you try to pack pieces of meat and a marijuana plant? When you pack your clothing, try to mix in some old pieces with anything that you recently bought. If an agent opens a bag full of clothing with tags attached, you may be in for paying a heavy fee. Make sure that you place items that are low duty or duty-free at the top of your suitcase. The last thing you want is to be pulled in the back room with airport security.
- Collect receipts: If you are coming back to America with electronics such a lap top computers or big screen televisions, receipts will be required to show proof of purchase. After all, it does look a bit suspicious if you can't produce one.
- Fill Out Your Declaration Form Early: When you check in with your respective airline, ask them for a Customs Declaration form. This is a form where you basically list everything that you purchased while outside of the United States. The form will also ask you to put a total amount of money for the goods you are importing.
- Be Honest: Although this may be the hardest step to follow, it's important that you declare everything you didn't purchase in the United States. Leaving out items that may be illegal could land you in a heap of trouble.
- Claim Exemption: If you have less than $800 worth of goods and it is your first time entering/re-entering the country in the pass 30 days, you can claim personal exemption. This option disqualifies you from paying duty and warrants a quick stamp on your passport. If you have a large amount of goods that you need cleared, try using international moving companies to relocate all your belongings instead of doing the move yourself.

The very best idea is to have it shipped internationally. I agree that is a great way to get through customs–just don't bring anything that can make them start questioning you.

Afar across cool waves on quiet shores,
beneath each rising sun her beauty grew,
as pure as falling snow, the skin she wore
aglow with radiance as sweet as dew.
Soft burnished raven tresses, black as night,
caressed her face then fell in silk cascade,
and honeyed tones adorned a voice, so light,
that echoed from blush lips in serenade.
As days and many months of time weaved on
she blossomed, as a rose of scent so rare,
yet of her many suitors she'd have none,
dismissed with gentle wave of hand so fair.
A lone and wistful silver moonlit stroll
unearths a song that strangely stirs her soul.

Favorite Find Friday: Noya Classic Lip Balm
Written on March 7, 2014 at 1:47 pm , by Molly Ritterbeck
A good lip balm is like good skincare for your lips—it's the perfect base for your look. We all know how bad foundation and blush can look on dry, rough skin. The same goes for a bold lip color or shiny gloss over chapped, flaky lips—not a pretty look. I've recently been slathering on Noya Classic Lipbalm ($4, noyabeauty.com). Not only does it keep my lips feeling soft and supple, it's made of just four all-natural, kosher ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, beeswax and organic stevia. Sounds a little like your kitchen pantry, right? It's one of the most natural balms out there, which makes me feel good since we inadvertently end up consuming some of our lip products. It comes in three other flavors as well: Vanilla, Cherry and Spearmint and for every lip balm purchased, Noya will donate one to a homeless person in need through The National Health Care for the Homeless. It's easy to take something as basic as lip balm for granted, but now you can treat yourself and help someone else in need, all at the same time.

Juicy Pomegranate Beauty Finds
Written on November 18, 2013 at 9:44 am , by Fitness Magazine
When I think of November, a few activities come to mind: football (watching, not playing), Thanksgiving, holiday shopping, oh, and eating pomegranates. Believe it or not, November marks National Pomegranate Month (yes, there is such a thing). At FITNESS, we're huge fans of the superfruit for its health benefits. After all, it can do amazing things like clean teeth, regulate cholesterol, prevent arthritis and even help protect against heart disease. In addition, the red fruit also packs some sweet beauty benefits—it contains more antioxidants than red wine and green tea. To celebrate, we've rounded up some of our favorite pom beauty products (you're welcome).
Weleda Pomegranate Regenerating Hand Cream ($13, usa.weleda.com)
This luxurious hand cream is loaded with pomegranate seed oil to protect your hands from free radical damage and that dry, cracking feeling winter weather brings. High five!
Burt's Bees Naturally Ageless Intensive Repairing Serum ($25, burtsbees.com)
With pom, primrose and borage oils, this serum acts as a triple threat against fine lines and wrinkles.
Josie Maran Argan Tinted Moisturizer ($38, sephora.com)
Get glowing, flawless skin with a hefty does of protection with this tinted moisturizer. Pomegranate oil, argan oil and goji berry hydrate the skin while SPF 30 protects against rays.
Korres Pomegranate Cleansing & Make Up Removing Wipes ($12 for 25, sephora.com)
Talk about a refreshing treat: these wipes (with pomegranate extract) remove dirt, makeup and oil while reducing the appearance of pores. Bonus: they're easy to stash in your gym bag.
Sun Bum Lip Balm SPF 30 Pomegranate ($4, dermstore.com)
Soothe dry, chapped lips with this powerhouse lip balm infused with aloe, vitamin A, green tea and pomegranate plus SPF 30.

Favorite Find Friday: ChapStick Sport Ready
Written on January 11, 2013 at 9:00 am , by Molly Ritterbeck
I'll admit it: I'm a self-declared lip balm addict. I need one in my purse at all times. This week, I somehow misplaced one of my many tubes (talk about traumatic!) so I ran to the beauty closet for a last-minute replacement and came across ChapStick Sport Ready ($3, drugstore.com). Not only did it immediately hydrate my tight, dry lips, but I also fell in love with the subtle, lemon-y scent. The convenient clip attached to the cap makes it perfect for athletes or anyone on the go since it allows for easy, one-hand application. Plus, it's perfect for all seasons (think: clipping it on your gear while speeding down the slopes or attaching it your bag before heading to the beach.) Its water resistant formula with SPF 30 protects lips no matter where you are or what you're doing. I'm going to put some on right now…

5 Unexpected Uses For Makeup You Already Own
Written on February 21, 2012 at 10:00 am , by Fitness Magazine
Time to streamline! These genius double uses for the makeup staples you already own make your cosmetics go the extra mile, saving much-needed space in your gym bag—and money in your wallet.
- BLUSH = EYE SHADOW Use an eye shadow brush to sweep blush over your eyelids for a pretty, monochromatic look.
- CONCEALER = EYE & LIP PRIMER Neutralize the ruddy pink tones of eyelids and lips with a light layer of your regular concealer: The colors you apply on top with appear truer and last longer.
- EYE SHADOW = HIGHLIGHTER Blend a light-colored neutral cream eye shadow (think champagne or gold), such as CoverGirl Intense ShadowBlast in Beige Blaze, on the tops of cheekbones, cupid's bow, inner corners of the eyes and under the brows for a believable glow.
- LIP BALM OR LIPSTICK = CHEEK & EYE ENHANCER In a pinch, dab tinted lip balm or lipstick on cheeks and eyes—they can double as a cream blush and eye shadow. Use a clear balm to add a touch of healthy sheen.

And my own creation: Layer lip balm, a rose, pinky-nude or mauve-hued eye shadow, and top with clear lip gloss for a custom-created lip color.

Favorite Find Friday: VMV Hypoallergenics Armada Moisturising Protective Lip Balm SPF 60+
Written on September 9, 2011 at 9:56 am , by Eleanor Langston
When prepping for my 12-day trip to Italy over Labor Day, I surprised myself and did the unthinkable– I fit all of my clothes, shoes and beauty products into a CARRY-ON. My husband's jaw dropped when I rolled out my kid-sized suitcase. Space was definitely at a premium, but I luckily included my MVP (most valuable product) of the vacay: VMV Hypoallergenics Armada Moisturising Protective Lip Balm SPF 60+. The texture is ideal– not too oily, but not goopy either. One swipe kept my lips hydrated all day, and I love that it has such a high SPF, since the skin on your lips is extremely thin and sensitive to damage. It's pricey, but a little goes a long way, so one tube will last you months. An added bonus: It doesn't have any shimmer in it, so I got my husband hooked on it too.

Kiss of Approval
Written on February 23, 2011 at 7:53 am , by Fitness Magazine
In preparation for Valentine's Day last week, I scoured the beauty closet for the best products for my kisser. I've glossed, blotted, stained and have finally found the few that gave me the perfect pout.
Stain it:
I admit it: I was afraid of lip stain, but now I want to shout my devotion from the rooftops! My favorite was the Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstain in Wink of Pink. It gives the perfect hint of color that actually lasts the several hours that other lipsticks and glosses boast. Since this product is a stain (so yes, it stains your lips), you need to make sure you pick the right color for your skin tone. Start off with neutrals to be safe, and if you choose something too bright, try layering gloss or tinted balm on top to mute or change the color.
Smear it:
While I went with a stain for a bold punch of color, I loved MAC Cosmetics Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Bare Again for its understated and easy-to-wear tone. It goes on like a lipstick, looks like a gloss and hydrates like lip balm: The lip product jackpot!
Hydrate it:
Silky Korres Lip Butter is my pick to hydrate winter-worn pouts while providing a brightening kick of color. And the flavors are so yummy that you'll never got back to ordinary balm again. My favorite: jasmine. Pucker up!

As is for parts or restoration
Moog Polymoog As-is For Parts or Restoration www.newenglandanalog.com For sale is a Moog Polymoog that needs a lot of work. Cosmetically, it is in good condition, however the electronics will need work. Our shop has restored Polymoogs and we can say that it is a labor of love. They basically need to be rechipped, recapped, and the power supply must be replaced or rebuilt. This being said, we are happy to restore the unit to full working condition, but that would come at a significantly higher price than that we are asking in this auction. The unit has all of its polycon chips should you want to use it as your backup parts unit to keep a 203a running. What we know is that unless someone is willing to pay us our regular hourly repair rate, we aren't fixing this one. Our loss is your gain. We have even included a new holographic Moog logo for the cover. For those interested in having the unit repaired and wanting to know what it might cost, it's hard to know, but in our experience, these synths can take us up to a week to restore. The power supplies on these are usually failing in some way, and all of the parts in it are aged and need to be replaced. We usually opt to put in a modern linear supply to replace the old supply. The polymoog uses a Pratt Read mechanism similar to that found on the Odyssey, Minimoog etc. and the rubber key bushings are going to need to be replaced. The key contacts and velocity contacts in the key mechanism will also need a cleaning. (see our video about this here: click here) Once we have power and the keyboard is working correctly, we move on to the electronics. We need to see what else is wrong with the synth. Typically we replace the CMOS 4000 series and opamps on the voice preset boards and the upper boards. If there is a problem with the master oscillator board, we will need to address this before we can get any sound through the rest of the unit. In a typical Polymoog repair, there will be many sample and hold capacitors that have failed (there are 200+ in the whole synth. Some of the Polycon boards will usually need either a new poly chip or a capacitor will have failed. Getting to the sample and hold caps requires basically the entire synth to be out of the chassis in order to access this board, and we recommend replacing them all. If we replace 1, we still need to reassemble the whole synth before we can see if our repair even worked. The more times we assemble and disassemble, the more the project starts to cost. Since all of these caps are almost 40 years old, they have lived past their useful reliable lifetime and should be replaced. To see a gallery of a Polymoog 203a restoration we did, click here. To really do what needs to be done is a job that is only going to be worth it for a true Polymoog enthusiast. It is not cheap by any means. The last Polymoog we did took us over 40 hours to do at $100/hr. It's a good project if you have the skills to do the work, but is one that we would only undertake if we were being paid for the project. This is not something that "just needs to be gone over by a tech for a couple hundred bucks". The PM is a very cool vintage synth that sounds great. Its reputation for reliability problems is deserved. If one wants a fully functioning one, they are going to have to pay with either a bunch of time or money spent on the project. SHIPPING: The crate and packaging materials for this item was $66. Ebay shipping prices do not take in to consideration packaging materials, insurance, or the type of service used. If you are using Ebay's international shipping program, Ebay will pay us a small sum to have the item shipped to their Pitney Bowes facility in KY. Typically 90% of the money in Ebay's price calculator goes to Pitney Bowes, and the rest goes to us. This is usually not even enough to cover packaging a synth, let alone shipping it. Anyone that tells you they can ship a Polymoog for $50 is out to lunch or lying. Please don't pay for the item until we can invoice you for the exact shipping amount, otherwise you will be creating an extra step. We are writing this so that people have an understanding of how Ebay shipping costs are calculated and why they are wrong. Ironically, Ebay has a fee for "high shipping prices", which is like a tax on walking, because their calculator is always about 60% below actual shipping costs. We use a professional parcel company to do all of our shipping. We are synth specialists and we handle synths. We leave shipping to shipping specialists. For liability reasons, we must pay the parcel service to pack all items because their insurance only covers what they pack themselves. Obviously shipping antique synthesizers is risky business and not ideal. NEA cannot be held liable for the damages incurred every time that UPS drives a forklift through a Rhodes Chroma. (No joke, and it took 6 months for them to own up to the damages) Everything that we ship leaves our shop in the condition we say it's in. We know that our reputation is staked on this always being the case. That being said, happy bidding..
