Multiple phone robberies in Dorchester prompt police warning
Boston police issued a warning after multiple people in the Dorchester neighborhood were robbed of their cell phones.
Police said on Monday that there have been four reported robberies since the start of the month.
In most of the robberies, the suspect used a knife or scissors to threaten and rob the victims who were out walking.
The most recent robbery took place just after midnight Sunday. Police said a woman walking from the JFK MBTA station was approached from behind by two men and felt something hard in the back of her head. The men demanded her money and cell phone, which she gave them before they fled.
The other robberies took place on Nov. 2, 4 and 6.
Police said they are investigating. They urged people to keep their phones out of sight, never walk with earphones in and pay attention to their surroundings.

Sharon Tyndale
Sharon Tyndale was the Secretary of State of Illinois, United States, from 1865 to 1869. His tenure is notable for his redesign of the Great Seal of the State of Illinois.
Tyndale himself requested that the state legislature authorize a redesign of the seal, with one key suggestion, that the words of the motto (State Sovereignty, National Union) be reversed (to National Union, State Sovereignty). The legislature did authorize the redesign, but specifically required the redesign to maintain the motto's word order. Then they gave Tyndale responsibility for the redesign. Tyndale overhauled the Great Seal, but he did so in a manner that appeared to thwart the legislature's intent. His new seal featured a twisted banner, which caused the word "sovereignty" to be upside down, albeit, in the order required by the legislature. Tyndale's banner has remained in place, with only minor changes, since 1868.
Two years after leaving office, Tyndale was murdered outside his home. His killer was never identified.[1]

I've been seeing some people getting extremely uneasy about some rumours on Disney stopping their hand drawn animation in places such as this. I'd like to point out some facts (meaning, I will provide sources for you to check out):
As far as I know, those are the facts. The rest I've seen is pure speculation that comes with irrelevant box office results and Disney's acquisition of many other companies that are giving Disney other kinds of branches to reach (like Marvel and LucasFilms). If someone knows of an actual official source that said something as terminant as the post I linked in the beginning, let me know.
I'd totally see something in the same style as Paperman. THAT would be better than no 2D films at all

Political reform groups have reacted with anger to the government's abandonment of Lords reform, following Tory backbench pressure.
Unlock Democracy has published new research confirming majority public support for plans to introduce elections to the House of Lords.
The need for substantial change in the political system, and among large parties, has been signalled by the sensational by-election result in Bradford West.
Action not bluster is needed from the government on "Cash for Cameron" questions, says a major UK campaign for political reform.
The government's consultation on the statutory register of lobbyists is deeply unsatisfactory and deceptive, say political reform campaigners.
Political reform group Unlock Democracy has called for the government to scrap its plans to introduce expensive elected police commissioner elections.
A new poll by the Committee on Standards in Public Life indicates widespread public mistrust towards major donors to political parties.
Real political change does not follow one, or even three, crises. It takes decades, says Jonathan Bartley, surveying the scene this summer. In certain respects things aren't all that different from sixty years ago. But grassroots pressure still makes a difference.

11. San Diego Chargers – Jonathan Cooper, Center, North Carolina
Cooper is a good sized center that can adjust to the more complicated schemes in the NFL, he will be a great pick for the Chargers. Another great thing is that Cooper is versatile at just about any position on the offensive line, giving the Chargers the added bonus of position flexibility.
12. Miami Dolphins – Ezekiel Ansah, Defensive End, Brigham Young
Not afraid to hit someone, Ansah will fill a need on defense for the Dolphins. He has a motor that doesn't stop and with his speed and athleticism, expect him to be a game 1 starter for the Dolphins.
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Johnathan Banks, Cornerback, Mississippi State
Banks' size will make a good run defender plus he has good ball handling skills. He is a well-rounded athlete who will be a good fit for Tampa Bay.
14. Carolina Panthers – Star Lotulelei, Defensive Tackle, Utah
Best interior defensive lineman in the draft, according to many scouting reports. Considering how bad the Panthers were on the defensive side of the ball, this will be a tremendous upgrade.
15. New Orleans Saints – Dion Jordan, Outside Linebacker, Oregon
The Saints need help on the defensive side of the ball. Jordan would be a good addition. Standing at 6-7, 243 this kid has not only size but a burst of speed that has the ability to stay up with most halfbacks and slot receivers.
16. St. Louis Rams – Eric Fisher, Offensive Tackle, Central Michigan
Standing at 6-8, 305 Fisher has excellent pass blocking skills and in this pass happy NFL, you want your star QB well protected. The Rams get themselves a good selection out of the Central Michigan product.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers – Alec Ogletree, Linebacker, Georgia
Ogletree will help an aging LB corp in Steeler country. He possesses some good technique that could use some polishing off, but other than that he will be a contributor to Pittsburgh.
18. Dallas Cowboys – Sheldon Richardson, Defensive Tackle, Missouri
The Cowboys will be rebuilding their defense as they transition back to the 4-3 defense after several seasons in the 3-4 scheme, the Cowboys will like Richardson as he is a large guy who is quick off the ball. After having a career year in 2012, Richardson will be one of many pieces to the 4-3 puzzle that new defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin will be putting into place.
19. New York Giants –Tyler Eifert, Tight End, Notre Dame
Tom Coughlin likes to have a few tight ends and to have a good blocking tight end, that's a bonus. Eifert will give Coughlin that and much more. If the Giants can sign former Dallas Cowboy Martellus Bennet to a contract extension, you can expect some old school NY Giants football using the 3 TE set.
20. Chicago Bears – Lane Johnson, Offensive Tackle, Oklahoma
If Chance Warmack is available then the Bears go with him, if not look for the Bears to select Johnson. Johnson, a former high school QB, will make the transition from college TE to professional OT as the Bears work on their offensive line to better protect Jay Cutler.

CO2 abatement, competitiveness and leakage in the European cement industry under the EU ETS: Grandfathering vs. output-based allocation
AbstractA recurrent concern raised by the European GHG Emissions Trading System (ETS) is the fear of EU industry competitiveness loss: a loss in domestic production and a loss in profits. This paper analyses how production and profits in the European cement industry may depend upon allocation approaches. We analyse two contrasting allocation methods of free allowances. Under "grandfathering", the number of allowances a firm gets is independent of its current behaviour. Under "output-based allocation", it is proportional to its current production level. Whereas almost all the quantitative assessments of the EU ETS assume grandfathering, the real allocation methods used by Member States, notably because of the updating every five years and of the special provision for new plants and plant closings, stand somewhere between these two polar cases. We study the impacts of these two polar allocation methods by linking a detailed trade model of homogeneous products with high transportation costs (GEO) with a bottom-up model of the cement industry (CEMSIM). The two allocation approaches have very different impacts on competitiveness and emissions abatements. Grandfathering 50% of past emissions to cement producers is enough to maintain aggregate profitability (EBITDA) at its business-as-usual level, but with significant production losses and CO2 leakage. For an output-based allocation over 75% of historic unitary (tCO2/tonne-cement) emissions, impact on production levels and EBITDA is insignificant, abatement in the EU is much lower but there is almost no leakage. Policy needs to recognise to what extent different allocation approaches may change the impacts of emissions trading, and adopt approaches accordingly.

Anxiety is something I have struggled with for years. Thinking back now, It has been going on a lot longer then I thought it was. Even as a child, I can remember that sinking feeling in my stomach as my dad would pull up outside my moms house. Not that my mom is a horrible person or anything, its just that deep down, I have always been terrified of her (as well as adoring her and admiring her completley) Of course, at the time I never knew that she too was suffering with depression, as a child I was just always afraid, would I get in trouble for something this time? What kind of mood would she be in? Would she pick me up and give me a hug or would she nod at me, and go back to bed? I didnt understand then, and It used terrify me!
For some reason, I dont remember much of like my late childhood/early teens…anxiety wise. So maybe, I had a good few years. But I know that it started up again when I was around 15. I didnt know then what it was….and intsead of talking to someone, and getting a diagnosis, I used lock myself in my room, turn on some My Chemical Romance, and cut, and cut and cry and cry. At the time, I put it down to the fact that I was a teenager, and i was just full of teen angst, hating my life, hating myself, my family, my friends. Now I know, that it wasnt like that at all, I needed help then, but I was too young, too stupid and too stubborn to realise it. I remember one day, I was hoovering, and my mom saw the marks on my arm. She asked me what happened, and I told her my cat scratched me….she believed me….I didnt even have a cat.
When we got a bit older in school, around 17 or that, people grew up, my class mates stopped teasing me about being "different" and actually started respecting the fact that I wasnt afraid to do my own thing…I even introduced a few of them to the music I liked. And that's when I started going out with #. It was great, and I'm almost positive in the 2 years that we were together, I didnt have one panic attack, or one week where I didnt wanna get out of bed. Of course, this could all be a little idealistic, there surely was some, but nothing signifigant enough to stand out in my memory. When I started university, I broke up with him…we were just going in different directions, and it wasnt going to work. This suprisingly enough, didnt break me. I was a first year, living away from home, with lots of new friends, parties every night etc. I didnt have time to think, to get upset. At the weekends when I went home, I was working in a bar, so I would be there till 4/5 am and then asleep all day. Life was good, because I was totally distracted all the time.
Last sept, I started my second year in uni, and also started going out with a guy called *. Again, everything was going great. And then my parents (well my mom and my step dad) decided, right We're moving to austrailia, see ya later. They up and left, taking my 11 year old sister and 9 year old brother with them. For a while, I was happy for them, I knew this was what they needed, and that they would be better off. About 3 weeks later, I lost my job. Then everything came crashing down around me. Once I was out of work, I realised that my parents werent there any more, I started getting down in myself again, getting irratable with everyone. I stopped going out, partially because I could no longer afford it, moreso because every time I drank, I broke down in tears, ruining my night and everyone elses. Panic attacks started up agian, but this time, I realised that this wasnt me being stupid.
To be fair, * had a lot to do with helping me realise this. We were living together, so he knew that if I had dissapeared up to our room, that I was more than likely thrown on my bed, gasping for air and crying my heart out. And he was great, he could always talk me out of it, and he would stay in and watch movies with me while all out friends went out and got drunk and had fun. I became completley dependant on him. But I was missing alot of college, because I had developed a fear of leaving my house. * eventually convinced me to go to a doctor and he rang my dad and told him what was going on. After years of hiding behind all of this, I was suddenly put into counselling and being forced to talk about everything. I didnt like it at the start, but even after the first few sessions, I started feeling better. I learned how to control my anxiety, without medication and it was great. Then I found out that * had cheated on me. Slept with his "Best Friend" from home. So I kicked him out, and confided in my other friends about what I was going through. They werent as understanding as him about the whole thing, they thought that the only reason I had stopped going out with them was because I had a boyfriend and I was becoming "dry"….I had become completley dependant on him, and then when he was gone, my panic attacks got worse, I undid all the good work I had been doing with my counsellor, and stopped going to college again.
Anxiety is not something to be taken lightly, but at the same time, it can be controlled. I wish now that I had spoken about this when I was 15…not 7 years later. It is so important not to hide yourself away. It does not make you weak, it makes you human. Everyone has fears, everyone feels anxious, its just that it can spiral and then you can let it take over. Talking is key. Its been a month since I've had a panic attack…and I know I've had longer periods before where I have been panic attack free…but this time is different, I know what it is. I know it cannot hurt me. I know how to control it. And i know, that if it does come back again, that I can survive.

I am not ignoring you guys!! I dont know what happened! If anyone has messaged me in the last few days, maybe try again!
Be Strong xoxo
Well physically anyway…
I still smoke, and drink, but it's been five years since I have intentionally caused any harm to my own body.
I went through a time where I thought it would never stop.
I thought the pain was endless and there was nothing I could do.
But I did stop
And the pain, well, it didnt go away, but it got easier, more manageable.
And it can for you too!
Please Dont Harm Yourselves.
Talking about your problems is a far better solution, and I only wish I had had someone to tell me that when I was 15.
If you cant talk to anyone around you, then talk to me.
I am willing to share my experience with anyone if it will make them feel better and less isolated.
Talk to me.
Tell me your problems.
I will always listen and I will ALWAYS reply. (anon or not)
I may not be much help, but I will try.
Be Strong

Cute & Coveted: Faux Cobblestone Street
In college, I lived on a little cobblestone street. I knew a few people who found it annoying to drive or bike down our block, what with all the bumpity-bumpity, but I loved it, and knew it might be the only time in my life when I'd get to live on a real cobblestone street. Well, it's not quite the same, but I was inordinately pleased to see that one of my favorite blocks in San Francisco recently had a faux-cobblestone street put in...
I find the new street charming- not quite as charming, perhaps, as true old-world cobblestone, but not as bumpity or treacherous to bike on in the rain either. I was able to see the crew creating this road over the span of several days, and it was fascinating. They used a big...stamp to create the impressions, pressing it in and then moving on to the next section. (The best analogy I can think of is that at the bakery where I work, we have a honeycomb cookie cutter that's basically 9 hexagons attached to each other. You move the cutter from one section to the next, with no dough wasted between each hex-cookie. I'm sure that example helps.) Anyway, it was very cool to watch, very careful & precise, and I would have loved to join in. Does baking experience help?
I was caught off-guard the day I walked past and the road had been colored this terra cotta. What do you think? I'm withholding judgement until it has a little time to age and get a nice patina. I think it's a good color, and fits into its environment, but it's definitely lighter & brighter than the cobblestone streets I've known.
Has anyone had this done at their place? And how on earth would you get your whole street done? If I remember the name of the company that did this particular block I'll add it, but a search for "stamped concrete [your city here]" should yield some good places to start.

Some of the crosswalks in Andersonville (Chicago) have this. They look nice for a bit until the paint starts coming off. Might last a little longer in CA though I suppose.
I suspect you have "stamped asphalt" not concrete. The town where I work (Derry, NH) has sidewalks like this, with "old time" faux gaslight street lamps, too. In this area, cobblestone streets (mainly in Boston, now, and only some old neighborhoods even so) are light gray granite, not terra cotta. But it's still more interesting than ordinary black asphalt, and with some wear it does gain character.
Wow, must be a budget surplus over there. My city can't even pay to fix the blown lightbulbs on a certain bridge.
Huh...I have never thought of this as cobblestone. To me this looks like a bricked street or if it didn't have color then setts (Belgian blocks).
Where I grew up and the only places I have been that had cobbled streets used the small round stones that were truly a pain to walk on. While the bricked streets were only problematic if you had some rise or fall in the stones and you caught a toe or something.
The image shows a faux-brick street, not cobblestone.
However, for a legit brick paved street, you could always go the route of the amazing brick-laying machine: http://inhabitat.com/amazing-brick-machine-rolls-out-roads-like-carpet/
Another vote for faux brick, not cobblestone.
My parents had this done out front of our house in the early 80s with the hexagonal pattern and a dye similar to the one you've shown. It looked decent for the cost and the dye didn't fade or age to a patina type look.
I'd rather have a real brick street, or a real brick sidewalk. That's very obviously faux brick, and it isn't something I'm interested in. The real thing is nice because it takes thermal shock exceptionally well, and is very repairable compared to concrete or asphalt.
I like it. By the color and texture, I do suspect that it is concrete with an acid dye applied to it. Paint would be slippery and would wear off. Dye is far more durable as it gets into the pores of the concrete.With age, the dye should get a little grungier and more realistic.
Yes, this is indeed stamped asphalt. The pattern will wear our in certain areas (where it's driven on the most) and the colour wont stay. It's relatively cheap to do in the world of stamped roads (since it's asphalt) but it doesn't last long or look nice for very long. Stamped concrete on the other hand is very expensive to put down for an entire street but would last significantly longer.
If the stamped concrete is $500 per sqm then the stampede asphalt is $150 per sqm (not actual numbers as I can't remember off the top of my head - our landscape department would know but it's a close enough price comparison to give you an idea of the cost difference)
Was the original road here brick? I live in an area with some original brick roads and sidewalks, and they are very attractive although they can trip you up when you're walking on them. If the original road were brick but it was decided that this was too expensive to replicate, I guess I can understand the decision to put a fake brick in. But otherwise I don't see the point. This isn't attractive enough on its own because it's so obviously fake.
Definitely not a cobblestone design. Even fake cobblestones would have to be rounded on top.
In the alley where I live (I have a carriage house type thing) the city finally replaced the main throughway with non-dyed stamped asphalt a couple of years ago. There were a couple of residents who freaked out because the alley was originally paved with real brick and this was a gross violation of historical precedent or whatever, but luckily they were a minority and the stamped asphalt was put in.
So no one gets the wrong idea, I am generally in favor of historic preservation, but in this situation, the asphalt was absolutely the correct decision. 1) The city had the money and was willing to do the work which was a pretty big deal 2)The city had not done any work on the alley for decades (I know because I've lived here that long) and it was more pothole and hotpatch than brick so the historical value was pretty much shot anyway 3) there was no drainage and the alley was almost impassible in heavy rain or snow 4) Garbage and recycling trucks rumble through twice a week or more and brick will not stand up to that kind of abuse over years and years of use.
The city did a great job with the work -- the alley drains now, there aren't any potholes and it looks a million times better.
As others have commented, it is stamped asphalt with a color coating and it is most likely streetprint. The color and texture should last for a long time if there isn't much traffic. It will always look cheap and fake IMHO. http://www.streetprint.com/pages/project-gallery
I'm originally from Londonderry (one town over, for anyone NOT from Southern NH), and I have to say that the sidewalks in Derry never made sense for that very reason. I wish they'd just done brick, or maybe a faux slate effect instead.
Hi -- which street in SF is this? I live in the Bay Area and would love to see the street firsthand. thanks!
Hi! What street is this? It's so cute. I live in San Francisco too and would love to take pictures here. Thank you. Hope you get to read this message.

WINNIPEG -- Despite best efforts to ensure a healthy starting lineup for the CFL season opener Thursday, Winnipeg Blue Bombers coach Tim Burke says Chris Matthews remains a question mark.
"We will know the morning of the game whether he can play or not," Burke said Tuesday after the team's No. 1 receiver last season did not attend practice.
The CFL's outstanding rookie in 2012, Matthews is nursing a minor ankle injury sustained during Sunday's practice.
But Burke was a little more optimistic Tuesday than he had been earlier about Matthews' prognosis.
"Right now, I would say it's closer to him playing than not playing," he said. "It depends on how fast he can heal up in the next 48 hours."
If he can play, missing a few days of practice won't hurt Matthews performance, Burke said.
Receiver Terrence Edwards, who had off-season foot surgery, will be on the field.
"I'm really surprised at how well he's moving," Burke said of the veteran, who also topped the 1,000-yard mark last season for the fifth time as a Bomber.
"Last week I was going 'I don't know if he's going to be ready,' and this week he looks great."
Burke says he feels the offence is ready but he has had questions this season about his defence.
"I feel better about our defence," he said after practice Tuesday.
"I still think . . . because we have a couple of young guys there that haven't played a CFL game, I'm a little concerned for them."
On defence, the Bombers have rookies Desia Dunn, a linebacker who could be a starter with Johnny Sears still out, defensive back Marty Markett and defensive end Freddie Harris.
Burke says rookies can make their first game a bigger event that it should be and he's going to remind them they don't have to win it all by themselves.
Despite a new look offence and new protection schemes to try and keep quarterback Buck Pierce out of harm's way as much as possible, Burke says the opposition Thursday is much more of a blank slate.
The Montreal Alouettes have a new head coach and a new defence this season.
"They didn't show much in pre season. What we did see was different than what Montreal did under Marc Trestman and certainly different than what (Jeff) Reinebold did last year on defence," said Burke.
"We have no idea what they're doing and they know what we're doing."

Bish & Coney a cut above tho, it must be said. Nice double act. Actually do more than just call the play.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"as much a news event as an actual footballer, a worthy stop-start centre forward, but an all-time hyper-galactico when it comes to doing funny things with cars and hats, a player whose signing proves once again that the Premier League is still undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to doing things with cars and hats."
- Barney Ronay on Mario Balotelli
FFS, the likes of Harsha Bhogle shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the commentary box.
They're just getting paid to talk whatever they want..LoL
When Hussain & Lloyd were discussing the role of a leg-spinner in T20 cricket, he was asking dem for a break.
Sanjay Manjarekar & Alan Wilkins are **** & I did not heard any Aussie commentator, yet.
Harsha is a good radio commentator but waffles a bit too much for TV imo. Enjoyed Kumble yesterday, sounded so hilariously Anil like. A few stutters but I'm sure he'll iron out the chinks in the armour over time.
No idea if Gavaskar is commentating on the WC currently, but if he utters the word 'fella' once more, or has us believe that every player from the West indies sports a Jamaican accent, I'm going to hurl the remote at the TV.
Quite liking Nasser & Chappelli as a combo too. Bit of friendly needle, but both thinking about what's going on.
Like a PhD level Greig & Lawry, kinda.
Don't like Nasser at all for twenty20 cricket, he's okay for tests, but spouts a bunch of cliched crap most of the time in twenty20

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Agriculture Department and the Vermont state agriculture agency said they pulled operating licenses on Friday for a Vermont slaughter plant after viewing footage of mistreated veal calves.
The footage was from the Humane Society of the United States, which said it conducted an undercover investigation at Bushway Packing Inc of Grand Isle, Vermont, in August and September.
The video footage showed veal calves being "kicked, slapped and repeatedly shocked with electric prods and subjected to other mistreatment," the Humane Society said in a release.
A worker who answered the telephone at the plant on Friday said he didn't know anything about the investigation and could not confirm the plant had been shut.
One of the plant's owners, John McCracken, told Reuters he had just found out about the allegations and declined comment.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack called the treatment shown in the video "unequivocally unacceptable" and said USDA would investigate whether employees and an inspector with USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service violated the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act.
"The behavior of FSIS and establishment personnel witnessed in this video is inexcusable," Vilsack said in a statement.
USDA's inspector general will conduct a criminal investigation, he said.
Vermont Agriculture Secretary Roger Allbee said the state would participate in the investigation. The Humane Society notified the state and the USDA of the issue on Wednesday, he said in a statement.
"These practices are not representative of the industry as a whole in Vermont and such actions will not be tolerated in our state," Allbee said. "The (agriculture) agency is taking every action within its power to address the situation."
The Humane Society applauded the governments for "taking decisive action" on the issue.
The organization's investigation two years ago at the Hallmark Meat Packing Co plant in California led to the largest meat recall in U.S. history and led to new regulations forbidding the slaughter of cattle too sick or injured to walk.
Temple Grandin, an expert in humane handling of animals at the University of Colorado, also reviewed the footage. She said the conditions were not as severe as those in the Hallmark investigation but that the plant's practices were unacceptable.

Ever since a shutout loss to their region rival Norcross, the Collins Hill Eagles have been a different, higher-scoring football team. That trend continued into the first round of the AAAAAA state playoffs, as the Eagles cruised to a 41-7 victory over the visiting Walton Raiders on Friday at Fahring Field.
The Eagles (10-1) are the No. 2 seed from Region 7 and will advance to play the winner of South Gwinnett-Alpharetta.
Tyler Henderson rushed for four scores and 111 yards on 24 carries to lead the Eagles' attack, while the defense collected two interceptions and held the Raiders offense to less than 200 yards. The fourth quarter featured a running clock.
"Our offensive momentum is crazy right now," said Henderson, who had touchdown runs of 1, 2, 9 and 60 yards. "We're rolling on all cylinders."
Collins Hill scored 21 points in the second quarter to all but put the Raiders (6-5) away, taking a 28-0 lead. The Eagles scored on three consecutive possessions, capped with Tyler Herman's 36-yard touchdown pass to Grant McDonald with 19 seconds left in the half.
The Raiders – a No. 3 seed from Region 5 – never built enough momentum to get themselves into the game. They stopped Collins Hill to open the second half and then used a nine-play, 46-yard drive to score their only points of the game – a 12-yard touchdown run by Jordan McCray. But the very next play from scrimmage, Henderson burned the Raiders for a 60-yard run to put the Eagles up 34-7 with 6:07 left in the third.
Walton's offense struggled mightily and especially in the first half. In eight possessions, the Raiders punted five times, failed on a fake punt and threw an interception. The second half didn't fare any better. Following Henderson's long touchdown run, Walton threw another interception and Collins Hill capitalized, scoring the next possession on Herman's 1-yard run to bring the score to its final tally with 1:07 left in the third.
The decisive win continues a trend for the Eagles since being shut out by Norcross, 28-0, on Oct. 11. It was their only loss of the season and cost them the No. 1 seed. Since the loss, they've averaged 51.2 points a game and have outscored opponents 256-83.
"After the Norcross game, our kids were upset," Eagles coach Kevin Reach said. "They were upset with themselves and the way they played and they said it wasn't going to happen again. … We're clicking right now, and I tell you, our defense is playing phenomenal."

I think it's enrollment based. We have the skill players to match-up, but it's tough to get 5 big offensive linemen and 4 big defensive lineman with school enrollments of 2k kids like we have at Lassiter. Gwinnett schools have 3k plus and so do south GA schools. DeKalb and Fulton Co schools are more like Cobb schools in terms of enrollment numbers. Fishing in a bigger pond means more big fish. Don't mistake my words here. I'm not complaining about it. I'm just explaining it.

@High 5 and Eagle Fan…why can't you guys just cheer for your team/region and stop putting down others. These are high school kids busting their butts year round to play a game that they love. You want to bash someone, do it to the pro teams. They get paid for playing.
November 17th, 2013
9:06 pm
@Trojan2017 – Except that you are explaining it wrong. Most Gwinnett schools don't have 3k+. Mid to high 2k, sure but there are only a handful with those kind of numbers. Brookwood has high numbers but had a tough year this year. This only shows that big or small you can be up or down.

Cobb doesnt have the talent as most other counties because the schools are so close and the talent is spread out, 1 school cant keep there talent, if Lassiter and Walton were able to combine somewhat then you would see a bigger differnece and the schools that have some talent arent using it to the potential, u take Campbell who didnt really have the talent but used there star CB in Rogers both ways, he was tops in rushing in 6A ball and held his own on defense, then you take Walton who had arguebly the best athlete to come thru that school in DJ Smith and rarely use him on offense on a squad that definitely needed him, if he touched the ball as much as Rogers did then Walton would still be playing, the days of lining up and running the ball down a teams throat are done, you fall behind against spread happy teams, ball control is for the birds, a good offensive coordinator doesnt want the ball, he wants it put in the end zone quick, look at Kell, he uses his talent on both sides, North Cobb, Hillgrove, the proof is in the pudding,,,,,,now teams like Camden, Colquitt, there arent many schools down there to split the talent, if a school was built in the center of them and pulled some talent, then they would not be power houses every year so it is what it is, no matter what we as fans, parents, uncles, cousins will never be satisfied so life goes on

Hi Miss Sarah:I don't get to go to games, and usually doing time-outs I have to endure the commercials; therefore, i don't get to see the dancers too often. and I don't know any by sight. Of course I will stay tuned to trailblazer.com and hopefully see the wonderful dancers and hopefully you on Blazer TV. Maybe I can start recognizing them and have my favorite dancer as well as my favorite player and my favorite Blogger. I don't know really if I have a favorite Blazer Blogger as I love all of you that works for the organization.
Dancers are great but they are also a distraction from the game.
Well mbmurr1. some distraction are a good thing. I just can't find the passion to protest the distraction. Sorry LOL.
Distraction? Not really getting that. They perform during timeouts... how are they distracting?
We have the best dancers in the NBA!
Wooohooo!!! Auditions start this weekend! I'm SO READY!!! :)
@dancer.amanda. I don't know you personally, I love the smile. good luck in the audition.
lol Sarah, they're not distracting at all! our blazer dancers rock! it's amazing how much they train and how much effort they put into it.

Pro Bowl Rosters Announced: No Jets Selected
The NFL has officially announced the rosters for the 2014 Pro Bowl. As expected/feared, no Jet was selected, although three players were named as alternates:
Bent, TheJetsBlog.comThis is disappointing, but not altogether unexpected. No Jets player was faring too well in fan voting the last time the NFL released an update and the fact that the team has missed the postseason for the third straight year doesn't help matters.
Obviously it's a complete farce that Muhammad Wilkerson, who some experts have been saying has been the second-best defensive player in the NFL this year, will not be on the roster but hopefully he'll still get a chance to go if someone drops out. Cromartie and Mangold each being selected as an alternate in a down year is surprising, although Mangold arguably deserves extra credit for holding the fort while often having to cover for rookie Brian Winters. Other snubs include Damon Harrison, Nick Folk and Sheldon Richardson.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comHey did everyone see that the Pro Bowl has a new format this year? What fun!
Instead of having teams comprised of the AFC and NFC's "best" in intuitively neutral star-spangled jerseys, the whole game has gotten an overhaul and only the "best" players, regardless of conference will don jerseys which colors represent one of the most irrelevant rivalries in all of sport, Oregon's Civil War.
I know it's not been a great year for the Jets, but not one Jet was voted in? No Nick Folk? No Muhammad Wilkerson?
Other than to recognize that people who actually watch football, like the ATL crew agree with our assessment, the fact that Wilkerson was on the snub list gives me zero consolation.
We would always rather a Jets player be on the Pro Bowl roster than not, but if Mo Wilkerson can't get voted into the Pro Bowl after the season he just had, then as we always say, this is still a poorly run homecoming queen contest. Now it's just a re-jumbled poorly run homecoming queen contest with even crappier gowns.
Does anyone really watch the Pro Bowl? No matter how the NFL juggles it, it's a problem due to the nature of the sport. To show off exceptional skills and play hard, there's a possibility of injury to some of the best players in the game so the result is walk-through "theater."
IMO the Pro Bowl should be eliminated and instead honors given to individual players after showing plays that highlight their skills and accomplishments during the year. I know this sounds like the BS Hollywood award shows that I hate, but I WOULD watch this if it were done as a serious football documentary rather than glitz mongers looking up their own arses.
You know the pro bowls a complete joke when cromarties a second alternate after the crapfest he put up this season. CRo has no buisness even sniffing the pro bowl.
Wait doh minute..
I'm going to the prowl bowl and I gonna sell green and white Jet Yo Yo's dats light up yo yos dats right!
we win 1 loose 1 ...I think the green and white yoyos should go off the shelf really quik.
I hope the Jets didn't shoot their load last week with all the emotions involved and still a big uncertainty on Rex. They could be emotionally drained.
The thing that gets me, is if they are going to keep Rex , why not just endorse him now or when all this speculation started brewing?
Rex Ryan won seven games with a team that had no first team pro-Bowlers and Idjit wants to fire him? Fsck that. #FireIdjit #KeepRex
The media is making too big of a deal of the so called Black Monday. Even if there is a big shake-up, as long as General Idzik gets the pieces for our club, that is what will count. An offense with weapons, and key pieces on the defense will do the trick. I am sure his new regime will have a solid background in football. I would rather have just average coaching, but with a lot of talent on the field, than good coaching and no talent. Many teams with non spectacular coaches but solid talent on the field have went real far. Of course you want both , but lets not overshoot this. This is what happens when a new GM gets to put his stamp on things. Lets back our Commander and Chief! In Idzik we trust! At first, many fans will be upset, but then when Johnny Z starts adding talent and has a spectacular draft, we will all be on board. Go Jets!
And I was so looking forward to watching the pro bowl. oh, wait, no, I was not.
Why are they making a big deal out of 6 assistant coaches being in the final year of their contracts?
I can't take it no Mo!
The Giants didn't have a selection either. 27 of 32 teams had at least one initial selection.The Niners and Chiefs of the future led with each having 8 .
Twitter land is going nutso with this!
Something is very wrong when big Mo doesn't make it and Cro who is ranked near the bottom for CBs, makes it as an alternate.
I guess it is the injustice of thing that bothers me. Welp, it is not that big of a deal. Lets just knock the Dolphins out Sunday and start our off season into building a real contender.
What nonsense that Wliks didnt make it!!!!!!!
never bothered me one way or another. i realize it helps players with negotiations.
Wilkerson needs an extension this offseason. If this helps them keep it in the 6/72 range of Charles Johnson instead of the 6/100 range of Mario Williams, then that's fine with me.
What a travesty and a pathetic joke.
Wilkerson and Folk should've been starters.
Richardson, Howard, Pace and Mangold should've been backups.
Cromartie shouldn't have made it.
No bias.
Another chip on the shoulder for Sunday?
No Giants either FWIW.
Wow. Four Dolphins make it, and not a single Jet?
WilkShake was robbed !!
No doubt, Rex exceeded expectations, but Idzik is looking at the future and big picture. They have to let Idzik call the shots, or they should not have hired him. The GM gets the say.
@Hanknaples @Bent What's that got to do with me? Leave me alone Hank.
@Hanknaples@Bent you sound exactly like a spoiled child whining to his parents about his brother.Grow up.
@Bent@Hanknaples what moderators? :)
Hank, why are you acting so churlish?
@Hanknaples @Bent You know that's not true, so the only reason you could possibly have for saying that is to be inflammatory as usual. I hope the moderators are watching.
I have better things to do.
@Hanknaples @Bent Even if I was a moderator, have you ever known me to sit there deleting your comments as soon as they were made? Obviously whatever you put was caught by automatically by a filter.
Mangold is a great player and gloating about him not making the Pro Bowl is inflammatory behavior, so be careful not to do that because the current moderators may not be as forgiving as I am.
@Hanknaples @Bent I do not currently have moderator rights on this site Hank. If you are getting posts wiped out then that has nothing to do with me. However, if all you are going to do is gloat about some Browns player making the team I DON'T CARE.
Go away.
@Hanknaples @Bent Leave me alone.

I would imagine that this topic has been brought up in the past, but I'll do it again.
It would be nice to have captions by the pictures in our profile. We can say our weight in the picture and allow others to see our progress without posting it in a forum.
Also, it would be nice if we could arrange our photos how we like. I have my before and after all mixed up.
Thanks :)

One fix is to caption the picture via your photo-editing software of choice before you upload it. Then it's "captioned" for reference on MFP. MFP just hosts the files as part of your profile but they're not a photo manipulating site, they're fitness oriented!

Thanks for the response. Caloricounter through About.com has captions, that's why I figured that MFP could too. I just need to figure out my photo editor some day.

they could add a text field below the pictures or something, there are work-arounds possible, just captioning the pictures via your own photo-editing software would let you caption them NOW and upload them captioned.

"Has there ever been a live concert film as vibrant or as brilliantly realized? I don't think so. That's a tribute to the Talking Heads and their infectious music -- and a measure of Jonathan Demme's skill, intelligence and generosity as a filmmaker." - Edward Guthman, San Francisco Chronicle
Make way for the return of The Big Suit! Stop Making Sense marks the perfect combo of filmmaker and band as Jonathan Demme captures on film the singular magic of the Talking Heads in what is widely considered to be one of the greatest rock concert films ever made. Shot over the course of three action-packed nights at Hollywood's historic Pantages Theater in December 1983, as the group was touring to promote their new album Speaking in Tongues, Stop Making Sense brilliantly captures the legendary Talking Heads at the height of their funky/punky/new wave power, and today, almost 30 years after its original release, the film has lost none of its rhythmic power and charisma, remaining a rich model of what a music film can (and should) be. Flaunting David Byrne's famous "Big Suit" - in which the geek-ish singer cavorts like a 12-year-old caught in his dad's work clothes - the film reels from bright, funk-influenced danceables ("Life During Wartime," "Take Me to the River") to austere and atmospheric numbers such as the moving "Heaven" and the kinky "Psycho Killer." Director Demme (coming off the Oscar-winning success of Melvin and Howard) generously allows his roaming camera to focus on the stage action, blissfully swimming amongst the band members - Talking Heads Jerry Harrison, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth and David Byrne, along with Parliament/Funkadelic keyboardist Bernie Worrell, percussionist Steve Scales and vocalists Lynn Mabry and Ednah Holt - and never forgetting that a concert film should be about the music, nothing more and nothing less. What emerges is a thrilling blast of pure pop bliss, and what ends up on screen says as much about the director's impeccable instincts as it does about the rocking music of The Talking Heads themselves. (Dir. by Jonathan Demme, 1984, USA, 88 mins., Not Rated) 35mm

Chapter 19:Honest Mistake...1 Reviews
"Don't look at me that way. It was an honest mistake."
One Month Later...
Spencer was just being lazy one day when the phone rang.
"Hello?" He asked.
"Hey, is Lilee there?"
"May I ask who is calling?"
"Skye Farro."
"You! The chick who beat me in guitar hero!!"
"Spencer Smith? Is that you?"
"Yeah and you may NOT speak to her."
"Hey, hey, hey! She's my friend and I have a right to speak to her!"
"Fine." He put the phone down. "LILEE! PHONE!!"
Lilee came over to Spencer. "Who is it?" She asked.
Lilee smiled. "Thanks."
She picked up the phone.
"Lilee here!"
"Hey! It's Skye."
"Sorry about Spencer...I'm pretty sure of the way he acted..."
"No, it's okay. He's just weird..."
"Yeah, he needs someone to love."
"Skye? Hello? Skye?"
"Sorry...someone was calling me. He, he."
Lilee cocked one eyebrow. "Oh-kay."
"Well, If I haven't told you already, I'm moving to Las Vegas. Job wise...I finished my years. I was just taking other courses to learn a bit more..."
"Really? That's awesome!!"
"Yeah. I already have a job there for me."
"Working at one of the clubs. I'll be moving in with my brother."
"That's awesome. So I guess I'll see you around."
"Totally. See you!"
Lilee hung up.
"Hey Spence!"
"If it's about her, I don't want to know."
"Yeah you do...she's moving to Las Vegas." Lilee smiled.
"Not in this house, you're lucky. With her brother."
"Still, living in the same city isn't any better."
Lilee shook her head. "You know you're happy."
*A few hours later*
Everyone was doing their own thing.
"Seriously Ryan. When should it be. I was hoping for the Spring." Kara said, looking like she was in a fantasy world.
Ryan smiled and took her into his arms. "When ever you'd like. If you want spring. We'll have it in Spring." He smiled.
Kara smiled back. Her face turned serious. "Then we'd better hurry. Spring's not to far away!"
Everyone else laughed.
"Does anybody know how to sign up for Bridezillas?" Jon asked.
Kara smiled at him. "I haven't been too bad."
"Compared to Lilee here." Spencer said.
Lilee playfully wacked Spencer in the back of the head.
"I was joking!"
Brendon smiled. "We haven't had any major problems...except for the bug in the sink." He said, looking at Ryan. "Maybe we can make our own show, called Groomzillas."
Ryan laughed. "It was a big hairy spider. It's impossible not to freak out."
Lilee put her head on Brendon's shoulder. "Spiders scare the living hell out of me. Don't feel alone, Ryan." She laughed. Lilee put her hand on her stomach. Brendon looked at her and smiled.
Somebody knocked on the back door.
"I'll get it!" Spencer jumped up from the couch to answer the door.
He opened it. His mouth wide open.
"Hi." He spoke.
Jon walked into the room to find Spencer makeing out with the guest.
He ran back into the other room.
"Guys! Spencer! Skye! SMACK!" He made a gesture with his hands, showing kissy movements.
