ALAMEDA The Raiders have long made an effort to be a global brand. And with their two picks on the second day of the NFL draft, they took a global approach.
The Raiders selected offensive tackle Menelik Watson and linebacker Sio Moore in the second and third rounds Friday.
Watson comes to the Raiders from Florida State via Manchester, England. Moore played at Connecticut and was born in Liberia before moving to the United States as an infant.
Watson took the more unusual route to Oakland. He came to America as a basketball player for Marist College in 2009. After giving up basketball, Watson ended up at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo for the 2011 football season.
Watson showed enough in eight games to earn multiple scholarship offers before deciding to attend Florida State for the 2012 season. Watson started 12 games, earned an All-Atlantic Coast Conference honorable mention honor and became the 42nd overall selection in the draft.
Between Marist and Saddleback, Watson even tried boxing.
Before Watson ever played in a football game, he thought he could one day play in the NFL.
"I wrote this draft when I was leaving Marist," the 6-foot-5, 310-pound Watson said. " And the draft was just basically explaining who I am and where I'm from. I said in that letter, I wrote that with the chance, I know I can play at the highest level, in the NFL. I just knew that with the right coaching and the right situation, and obviously (I'm) disciplined enough to go out there and put in the extra time, I knew that it was possible."
Even with just 21 career games, the Raiders believe Watson's athleticism and work ethic will allow him to catch on in the NFL.
"He played at a major university," Raiders director of player personnel Joey Clinkscales said. "From a technique standpoint, he'll need work. He was coached pretty hard if you know anything about Florida State football, the offensive line coach (Rick Trickett) there. He's been tutored well. We feel like he'll be able to come in and adjust to the pro game pretty quickly and contribute."
Watson played right tackle for the Seminoles but will get looks on both sides of the offensive line for the Raiders.
Moore already is familiar with the Raiders. He played for the coaching staff during the Senior Bowl and enjoyed the experience.
A three-year starter and two-time All-Big East selection, Moore said he's happy to be a Raider. He's also confident.
"Like I said from the beginning of this whole draft process, there's going to be one team that's going to fall in love and make the right pick, and there's going to be 31 other teams that are going to be (ticked) off," Moore said. "The Oakland Raiders got the best linebacker in the draft. I don't care who went before."
Moore was credited with 72 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss and eight sacks last season.
The Raiders used Moore (6-1, 245) as an outside linebacker and defensive end as a pass rusher in the Senior Bowl. If Moore could help there, he could play soon. The Raiders were 31st in the NFL with just 25 sacks last season.
Even with their different paths to the NFL, coach Dennis Allen said Watkins and Moore had something in common that makes them what the Raiders want in players.
"I spoke to both those players after we took them, and both of them have a little bit of a chip on their shoulder," Allen said. "They want to prove that they belong in the NFL. They want to prove that they were worthy of being picked where they were picked and, really, in their minds, should have been picked sooner. So, that's a great thing. Both of them love the game of football, and both of them want to be really good."

It is the height of summer in New Hampshire, and many families and visitors are planning to get outdoors and enjoy the many vacation and recreation opportunities the state offers. While the Granite State's woods and rivers help create memories for families, they also create jobs and economic value for our communities.
City and state officials broke ground on a new urban farm in Roxbury Friday afternoon, at 227 Harold Street. Universal Hub reports neighborhood residents joined in the celebration, as work commenced on the Garrison-Trotter Farm, which will allow trained local residents cultivate and dish out fresh produce to Roxbury dwellers and local restaurants.
Mayor Martin J. Walsh announced today that The Trust for Public Land,a leading national nonprofit land conservation organization, has acquired and received permit approval from the City of Boston to create the first urban farm in Boston allowed under the City's new "Article 89" farming rules.
One thousand acres at stake. Voters must approve borrowing 3 million dollars.
Voters came out in droves for Tuesday's $3 million appropriation referendum to purchase 930 acres of the long-embattled 1,000 acre Preserve property. In all, 2244 votes were cast, including 98 absentee ballots. Town officials agreed that it was likely a record turnout for a single issue referendum in Old Saybrook.
On June 10, hundreds of people came out for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate a new "greened" schoolyard at William Dick Elementary School.
Today The Trust for Public Land unveiled the findings of a new report entitled New Hampshire's Return on Investment in Land Conservation. The report quantitatively demonstrates that state investment in land conservation has measurable economic value. Conserved lands provide natural goods and services such as water quality protection, wildlife habitat and air pollution removal - all important to New Hampshire's strong economy and jobs.
The Trust for Public Land, the only national conservation organization dedicated to creating parks and protecting land for people, today announced the launch of #OurLand , an outreach campaign designed to spur a movement to inspire people to share why nature matters to them.
The overgrown Coogan Farm dates to the 17th century and is a keystone parcel between Mystic Aquarium, Mystic Seaport and the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center property once eyed for development, but some locals had a different idea.
The Trust for Public Land has announced the final land acquisition for The 606 park and trail system on Chicago's northwest side, adding a new access park adjacent to the western trailhead. The non-profit, which serves as project manager on behalf of the Chicago Park District, coordinating fundraising, community engagement, land acquisition and park development, has entered into $2.975 million agreement to acquire the Magid Glove factory at 1800 N. Ridgeway Avenue.

EAU CLAIRE (WKOW) -- More than a foot of snow fell in the Eau Claire area.
Some school districts in western Wisconsin canceled classes Monday, including Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire and Barron.
The winter-like weather caused numerous accidents, including a jackknifed semi that closed a westbound lane of Interstate 94 near Menomonie about 2 a.m. Monday.
The storm had less of an impact in southern Wisconsin. The Dane County Regional Airport had about 3 1/2 inches of snow Sunday night. But several accidents have been reported in Dane County Monday morning as the roads were still slick.

Where can I order chicken oysters online?
Thank you. I misspoke and didn't mean what I said. I know the oyster is above the thigh and that I would have to buy leg quarters. I hope I didn't mislead or confuse anyone

Where can I order chicken oysters online?
Well, here we are almost a year later and I am Googling "Buy chicken oysters" and ended up here. Here's my big 'DUH' moment: buy 8 chicken legs! I was thinking I would have to buy 4 whole chickens! That I can do! Thanks to the original poster

With all due respect you seem to be missing a layer, even if you count the butter and the graham crackers separately. Typically you would separate out 2 kinds of chips and then add some kind of crushed chocolate coated candy like crushed toffee

Alder and an herb! Great idea! Thank you for your tips!
Very much appreciated! By the way, anyone looking to get an immersion blender should avoid the cordless model. I'm saving up to replace mine with one that plugs into the wall
Thank you!
I have designs on presenting a Smoked Tomato Bisque to my guests during the soup course at Thanksgiving next month. Admittedly the idea is in the conceptual mode and I have no attempted this recipe to date.
I'm sure I will be using canned, fire-roasted, organic tomatoes due to the season and am thinking about using the Cameron Stovetop Smoker for which I just purchased a complete 'fresh' selection of hardwood 'dusts' they offer. I would really prefer not to use the Liquid Smoke product, unless you can convince me otherwise.
I am curious as to how my fellow Chowhound might tackle this challenge with those two components and how you would prepare such a soup
Thank you very much!

Okay, Now On To Christmas Dinner...
Do you have a recipe/technique for your Wild Mushroom Duxelle in puff pastry? cheers :)

I like the idea of countering meat and potatoes with onions of some sort. I like to do a gratin of pearl or Cipollini onions; too, balsamic red onions are wonderful and would go with many kinds of meat whether lamb, pork or beef.
One of my favorite make-ahead meat dishes is Individual Beef Wellingtons. They can be made in advance, frozen and then tempered in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking them off.
I love the Fennel slaw idea. Roasted or braised fennel is wonderful too. You also can't go wrong with the utter simplicity and pure nutty flavor of roasted broccoli.
I'd probably opt for the cheese puffs as an hors d'oeuvres if you're doing a cocktail before and save the shrimp cocktail for the appetizer. Crab cakes make a nice appetizer too and you could couple them with your salad or serve each course separately.

What did you cook today, and was it good?
I made Linguine frittata w garlic shrimp and sun-dried tomato for dinner last night. I'm still devising my lunch menu for today.

The walk is probably more like 20 minutes, unless you are quick walkers with long strides and you catch all the lights.
Maybe uppercase letters are more expensive to print?

A super good looking soap opera stud claims he's being victimized by an obsessed female movie producer -- who allegedly has it out for him because he refused to email her a pic of his "live organ."
Victor Alfieri -- who starred on "The Bold and the Beautiful" and appeared in the movie "Angels and Demons" -- is also an aspiring filmmaker ... and claims a female fan decided to invest in one of his projects last year.
Alfieri claims the woman, Adriana Trevino, dumped more than $150k into his movie -- but it soon became clear that she wanted a sexual relationship with Alfieri as part of the package deal.
In his lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Alfieri claims Adriana would often try to get frisky with him -- one time suggesting they have sex to "release some stress."
Alfieri claims he turned her down ... so "she asked that he at least email her a picture of his 'c**k' which she could masturbate to."
Alfieri claims he again refused ... and instead emailed her a link to a photo of a dildo -- but Adriana replied that she would rather "have Alfieri's 'live' organ."
According to the suit, Adriana finally got the message ... but instead of quietly moving on, she allegedly stole the footage from Victor's movie ... and refuses to give it back.
Victor claims Adriana contacted his mother who lives in Italy -- and told her that they were humping ... which in turn caused Victor's mom to FREAK OUT so bad, she needed to be hospitalized.
Victor is begging a judge to force Adrana to return his footage -- plus he wants unspecified monetary damages.
I want my 55 seconds back for reading that. No, really...I want my f*cking 55 seconds back. And I don't want a picture of a clock!
This story makes no sense...and as Judge Judy would say "if it doesn't make sense, it must not be true."
Why can't women do this to me? I would like for a women to lust over me and tell me to email my **** for her to masturbate :(
Could it be possible that he's a victim of sexual harassment? I comend him for not giving in and taking the easy road. Atleast someone in Tinsel Town has morals.
Some of this seemed probable except this part:
"Victor claims Adriana contacted his mother who lives in Italy -- and told her that they were humping ... which in turn caused Victor's mom to FREAK OUT so bad, she needed to be hospitalized. "
Give me a #$%^ break. Does he have a sexual relationship with his mom? Mom freaked out he was having sex? Oh, my baby boy! Wtf.
God, you can see the white orbit rings and the little bridge thing across his nose from the protector he wears while tanning.
this is a plot to garner attention for a nothing project that no one will ever see. BOTH sound psycho with a side of crazy. And how old is that chick to be calling someone's MOTHER and TELLING ON THEM ! ! ! hahahahaha
He coulda sent a pic of any **** & why he not see what she wanted out of the deal. If a **** pic costs 150k imagine what sex would cost. IMHO he is handsome & I hope gay & I hope I win the lottery soon.
how did this psycho locate his mother in italy, and speak with her. there is a lot of fishy in this story..guess it is a slow day at tmz.
if the chick wasn't privy to intimate details of his life,then how did she know how to contact his mama?
Is this guy for real. The judge should put this guy in jail. The courts should do a full investagation on this case. This sound like a out of work actor taking this womans money. No one should hire this loser for any movies or show.
Why don't you give her the $150,000 back and she can give you the movie. Maybe because this was a scame on your part. Who do you think you are Mr, Winner Gay
For all your fathers out their I hope your daughters never date a loser like this Victor Alfrieri. It sound like they had a relationship this is why she had the mothers phone and he took her money in a scam . And when who couldnt produce any busines he dumped her not to give back her money , A real s***bag.
Victor Alfieri is a great actor for all those people who are negative towards him,, I wouldn't be surprise with the likes of people like that, if I was to bump into those people they would be rude and mean, who knows they probably mean to people and to animals,, atleast with Victor Alfieri, I know what i get a great talented actor,, he was in the movie Angels and Demons alongside Tom Hanks,, and I would like to know what Tom Hanks and other celebrities think of reading this rubbish and gossip,, I feel sorry for all celebrities, they get nothing but put downs ,, so please leave Victor Alfieri alone,,, he is a great actor, director and writer,, I seen him in Angels and Demons and in great tv dramas like Persons Unknown and Undercovers,, he is a true talented actor and a very handsome one,,, and my mum is a fan of him too....

A Montpelier woman got a surprise phone call on Christmas Day from President Obama.
Senior Airman Keshia Shutts is stationed at the Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan. She was one of 10 service members to receive a Christmas call from the Commander and Chief.
Shutts says the President thanked her for her service and asked about her daughter and fiance.
"He asked me if I set a wedding date yet because I'm engaged. I said, you are welcome to attend my wedding, Sir." Shutts said. "He says, I'd love to attend, but you'd have to have a lot of security there."
Shutts was nominated for the special Presidential chat. She's scheduled to return home next week.

February 05, 2013, 2:18 PM — Equinix faced a global conundrum: How to meet its in-house IT needs amid a rapid expansion into 31 markets worldwide.
The Redwood City, Calif.-based data center and interconnection company has experienced double-digit growth in recent years, with acquisitions and international expansion helping to fuel the build out. Since 2007, Equinix's purchases have included IXEurope, Virtu and Ancotel in Europe; Switch and Data in the U.S.; ALOG Data Centers in Brazil; and Asia Tone in Hong Kong.
As Equinix grew its data center holdings, the company also accumulated a number of IT service management (ITSM) tools. The company at one point employed a half dozen systems to automate IT delivery. Equinix decided to migrate to a single toolkit to get everyone on the same ITSM page. It opted for a Software-as-a-Service platform to get there: ServiceNow, a San Diego-based company that provides cloud-based services for automating IT operations.
"We went to a cloud-based ITSM product," notes Brian Lille, CIO at Equinix. "We wanted a standard way to provision services. In the tool set, we have created a common language around the world IT team...where we didn't have one before."
SaaS Lowers IT Service Management Costs
The shift to enterprise-wide SaaS deployment in IT service management seems to gaining momentum. ITSM, as a practice, promotes the creation of unified processes to boost the quality of an IT organizations services. From a tooling standpoint, ITSM software encompasses an array of components, from help desk automation to incident reporting and management.
Analysis: Why IT Service Management Is a Good Starting Point for SaaS
Until recently, most solutions have been on-premises. But SaaS has begun to take hold as companies look to cut costs and introduce solutions with the flexibility to accommodate an increasingly complex IT environment.
Jack Probst, president-elect of the Information Technology Service Management Forum ( itSMF) USA, an organization for ITSM professionals, says the SaaS shift was a bit slow to get underway. The pace of acceptance is quickening, however.
"Within the last 18 months, there have been a lot of organizations...moving away from the on-site model to the remote model. Just about everyone now is jumping on the SaaS model," he says.

This week the Food and Drug Administration released nine graphic warning labels to appear on cigarette packs.1 This is a strong message to deter people from smoking by illustrating a variety of related health hazards. The nine warnings did not include any imagery indicating that smoking can lead to foot and lower limb amputations.
Podiatrists, vascular surgeons and orthopedists know that smoking can lead to several serious problems in the lower extremity. Some of these problems include wound healing difficulties, gangrene, non-unions and amputations.
The surgeon general's message is clear that "smoking kills" but there is not a visual message that smoking can maim.
In a recent blog, I asked the question: "Why Did The FDA Neglect Smoking-Related Foot Amputation Warning?" (see and comment: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/neal-m-blitz/smoking-amputation_b_882739.html [3] )
Podiatrists know that the risk of smoking-related foot and limb amputation is real and costly. Smoking is the number one cause of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), according to the Peripheral Arterial Disease Coalition.2 We know peripheral arterial disease can result in decreased blood flow to the legs and feet, elevating the potential risk of amputation. This can result in the need for amputation. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services indicates that "one in every 20 Americans over the age of 50 has PAD" and that "8 to 12 million people in the United States, especially those over 50" are affected.3
"Diabetes and vascular disease are the leading causes of limb loss and major drivers of increased limb loss incidence in the U.S.," according to the Amputee Coalition. The coalition adds that "PAD is a common cause of amputation (and that) 1 to 2 percent of all people with PAD will progress to major amputation." Furthermore, the coalition indicates that dysvascular disease results in 54 percent of limb loss amputations, which translates into approximately 92,000 amputations each year.4
Do you think this risk of smoking-related foot amputations should have been included as a graphic warning? Comment and cast your vote at www.podiatrytoday.com/should-cigarettes-include-warnings-about-lower-ext... [4] .

With the exception of the removal of compiled issues (they should automate the process).
I think the content of dragon & dungeon is improving. Seems that later surveys did help
I think communication is improving, they are broadcasting almost every day and then. From bug fixes (300+ on the last CB update!!!) to delays on magazine articles (R&D involved on them!).
And finally, the CB ... I really like it, and I think it have a lot of potential.
Come on, one of the next things planed is characters sharing (yay!) ... and MB (Online) is in the works. I imagine MB will have sharing too ...
And the VT tool ... it's a nice application, and people are already sharing adventures, monsters and whatever in it.
The idea of all those applications working together (on a cloud system) is really exciting ... maybe in a future we would share house rules too.
Who knows, maybe wizards could become the Valve+Steam of RPGs
Something like no subscription social platform where people can sell they works (monster packs, adventures, campaign settings) and WotC taking a % from the sell . That would be reaaaal nice.
So ... I'm very excited for D&D future, it has a lot of potential, and I'm happy with it.

Based in ancient shamanic traditions, the experience of Quodoushka will change the course of your life forever. This series of spiritual sexuality workshops will empower you to be a more sensitive, creative lover and will help you enjoy the intimacy you deserve in your relationships.
Since 1985 Quodoushka workshops have empowered people around the world to unlock their deep seeded blocks against pleasure and to have greater health, hope, happiness, harmony and humor in their sexual lives

For me, discovering the teachings and practices of Quodoushka dramatically changed the course of my life. They not only offered an inspiring system of integrated knowledge, they expanded my whole view of sex, orgasms and relationships. They helped me accept the unique characteristics of my sexual anatomy and most importantly, showed me how we can learn through pleasure in order to become more sensitive, creative lovers."

James Stewart Revolutionized the Sport of Motocross

James Stewart revolutionized motocross in ways he never imagined – Photo by Steve Cox
You may not have noticed it, but our sport is changing. In the past few years motocross has gone through incredibly significant changes. Yes, the four stroke has become the dominant motocross technology and yes Leatt Braces are now prevalent in almost any motocross event across the country. However, what I'm talking about it something different.
Ever since James Stewart turned pro, his riding style has pushed the limits of what is possible on a motocross bike. It was shocking watching him hit bigger jumps than anyone else (on a KX125, no less) and scrub speed on every double, triple and table top. James Stewart's riding style was truly evolutionary.

James Stewart is a superstar of the motocross industry. He rides with incredible flow and style and is constantly raising the sport to a new level. In addition, he is the most well known motocross rider, outside of the industry.
After writing an article on Stewart's new website and Twitter account, I recently got a chance to interview the motocross sensation. Below is the interview in both audio and text format. Enjoy!

Breaking Into the Mainstream {Part 3: Is Supercross the Right Move for the Sport?}
January 7th, 2009 • Comments Breaking Into the Mainstream, My Thoughts
Tags: advertisements, amateur, Breaking Into the Mainstream, James Stewart, John Dowd, My Thoughts, Paul Buckley, Phil Nicoletti, Supercross Motocross
Note: Before reading this post, be sure to check out Part 1 and Part 2 of the series.
In the previous post in this series, I outlined the reasons why Supercross would allow our sport the growth it needs in order to go mainstream. In this post, I will talk about whether or not Supercross is right for our sport.
Supercross is the fancier, more dramatic, and "fluffier" version of Motocross. It wasn't invented until years after motocross, and the truth is that it has become more of a show in recent years. The format is better suited to television, and it makes the industry much more money than Motocross does.
-Photo by Paul Buckley.
However, regardless of money, Motocross is the sport for the hard core fans. Professional Motocross events happen on the same tracks as amateur ones, and the events resemble the same one that hardcore fans participate in week in and week out. This allows amateur riders to personally connect with Motocross riders and events which is why Motocross races are a favorite among hard core fans of the sport.
Supercross Abandons the Fans
-Photo by Paul Buckley.
Supercross abandons the fans. I'm sure some of you right now are wondering what I am talking about. I listed several reasons in Part 2 why Supercross was better for the fans. The difference, however, is that Supercross is not friendly for the hard core fans who actually ride motocross. Supercross is a great way to bring new fans to the sport, but Motocross keeps them interested in the long term.
What keeps fans interested in outdoor Motocross in the long term? As I previously mentioned, it is the connection with which the fans can make to their favorite pros which keeps them loving the outdoor Motocross Nationals. Just like any good piece of literature, Motocross fans can identify with the struggles, triumphs, tragedies and emotions felt by pros while riding on an outdoor motocross track. This deep personal connection leaves them craving more races and is what leads them to battle the elements year in and year out to watch outdoor Motocross races.
Supercross simply cannot match this connection to the fans. Sure, there are some local Supercross tracks, and amateur Arenacross events allow riders to ride almost the same tracks which are used in Supercross. But, the truth is that most riders will never ride a professional caliber Supercross track, and if they do, they will not be able to carry any type of speed and rhythm. By nature, fans simply cannot connect with Supercross as well as they do with Motocross.

Prepare for some side-splitting laughs funny man Robin Williams is heading our way to perform stand-up comedy for the first time in New Zealand.
The Oscar-winning actor will kick off the laughs in Christchurch on November 19, with an Auckland show the next day as part of his international Weapons of Self Destruction Tour, according to media reports.
His previous visits to NZ were to promote films he attended the premieres of Bicentennial Man and What Dreams May Come.
This time he'll be playing 90- minute live sets and shocking fans with the risqué humour he is well-known for.
He might wish he'd headed our way earlier in the year Robin is a self-confessed All Blacks fan.
He told media he was first impressed by them when he saw a video of Jonah Lomu, who he coined as "a wall with legs" scoring "with four Frenchmen hanging onto him".
But the All Blacks will be on the end of year tour in the United Kingdom by November.

The sole purpose of this post is as a time-waster, and since you shouldn't have to work to waste time, we've done it for you. In the numerous videos below you'll find cars that have lately been in the news tramping all over the grounds of Lord March's estate in Goodwood, England.
There's the McLaren P1 heading up the hill, the Jaguar Project 7, then a casually-driven Porsche 917 followed by an even-more-casually-driven Porsche 956, topped off by a Porsche 936 that is anything but casually driven. The next round is the flame-spitting Peugeot 405 T16 Pikes Peak from Climb Dance, a camera mounted on the Peugeot RCZ R after it showing you what the whole, uninterrupted run up the hill looks like. For a real head-turner, we couldn't embed it but there's Andy Reid blasting up the hill in a Ford Transit Supervan with a Cosworth 3000 V6 engine.
The modern racing contingent has Allan McNish doing the hill in the Audi R18 e-tron quattro he used to win Le Mans and Lewis Hamilton making lots of tire smoke in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas MGP-W02. For comparison, that's followed by Nick Heidfeld's record-setting run up the hill in 1999 in the McLaren MP4/14 . The classic racing contingent is headlined by 71-year-old Giacomo Agostini on an MV Agusta.
Finally, there are the miscellaneous exhaust notes of all kinds of supercars headed to the start for the supercar run. You'll find it all below. Enjoy.

Garmin-Sharp threw what they had at Sky and Bradley Wiggins, but in the end, it wasn't enough. On Stage 6, anyway.
The past two years, Sky has been the evil empire of pro cycling, calmly and coolly—clinically, even—setting pace on the big climbs of the hardest stages in the hardest stage races to deliver their man to victory.
Reel them off: Paris-Nice, Tour of Romandie, Criterium du Dauphine and, of course, the Tour de France. Each time, the black Sky train hits the front and it's all over. Few teams have the power to disrupt their orderly domination of a race. Garmin-Sharp is one; on Stage 9 of the 2013 Tour de France, they attacked from the gun and blew Sky apart. They didn't crack Chris Froome, but Richie Porte lost nine minutes. Vasil Kiryienka didn't even finish.
So when something works, you try it again.
At the Tour of California, Garmin hit out early and hard with climbers. Tom Danielson attacked several times to get into the day's big break on the queen stage to Mountain High, and it didn't go un-noticed by Sky. "The break went on strength because it was attacking for the first 40 minutes," Wiggins noted at the finish. Among the provocateurs: eventual stage winner Esteban Chaves, just 3:32 down on the overall.
And Danielson, of course, who said that the move was not made with the stage win in mind, but Rohan Dennis's bid for the overall. "With Rohan riding how he is, we said 'Let's just put it all out there,' said Danielson. "I know that climb and I knew we wouldn't be able to put pressure on him on that climb; we had to do it all day."
But Sky didn't panic. The team had faith in its support riders, said director Kurt-Asle Arveson. "For sure they tried to put pressure on us," he said. "But we knew this climb would suit us better (than Diablo). We were more organized today."
Even late, when Garmin sent Ben King and then Janier Acevedo, a talented climber who won a stage here last year and finished third, and was in 10th this year, Sky was unruffled. "When guys make those big accelerations, but it's not sustainable in this heat and at this altitude," said Joe Dombrowski, the American climber who hung late in the race to make pace for Wiggins. Dombrowski then hinted at Sky's method of control. "So if you just look at your powermeter, and just kind of ride to the watts, you know you'll bring them back."
Dombrowski said that as he climbed Big Pines to the Mountain High turnoff, Wiggins was on his wheel, using his experience to tell Dombrowski to back off a bit, or lift the pace a bit. Wiggins said that he didn't even look around to see who else was there until a few hundred meters to go. "I didn't see who was there until the big screen when we rounded the corner with 300 to go, and I saw who was there and went to the line and let it all out," he said.
At a race like California, when there are a few really good guys, and teams aren't that deep, that works.
But if Garmin had a gambit, teams are figuring out Sky's own counter-move, and learning how to attack it. Sky thrives on order and tempo; one of the reasons they don't do so well at the spring Classics is that they're less predictable, less controllable than a stage race, with their orderly climbs and selections. But teams are discovering that even in stage races, with a deep team, on a hard stage, making things hard from the gun can be a winning move. Stage 6 wasn't quite hard enough, the teams weren't quite deep enough or didn't have the kind of similar goals that produce alliances, and Wiggins himself was simply too strong (Arveson said the TOC was one of his major goals for the year).
Come July, things could be different (although teams may have to deal with an on-form Wiggins and Froome). And, unlike at the TOC, there will be more than one team trying to crack Sky. In 2012, Sky had the top time triallist, slightly vulnerable in the mountains, and the dominant team; in 2013, Sky had the dominant overall rider and a good, but not great, team. Garmin and Saxo Bank put them in difficulty on at least two days. They'll try to do so again. What Sky does in response, and how they do it, determines who wins the Tour de France. Consider the Tour of California yet another test case.

Wing Ma'am IndieGoGo Video from Wing Ma'am on Vimeo.
This is huge news. The leading organization promoting gay cures has closed its doors for good.
Pam Spaulding, author of the award-winning LGBT blog Pam's House Blend, has announced she'll be shutting down her site on July 1.
Spaulding says ongoing health problems, including chronic pain conditions and rheumatoid arthritis, have kept her from producing the quality of work she'd like Pam's House Blend to uphold. The site will be converted into archives on July 1, while contributors will continue writing for its parent site FireDogLake.
Reflecting on the impact of citizen-run blogs like hers in the mainstream media and even on beltway Washington politics, Spaulding offered a brief retrospective.
"I brought the perspective of a black lesbian living in the South to the dialogue — broadcasting a voice certainly not represented in the power structure of the LGBT movement," explains Spaulding. "It was the first major blog to feature a transgender contributor, and it was important to me to bring talent to the blog from under-represented regions and voices."
Sad news. The gay blogosphere will miss her!
The question of who qualifies as married is shaping up as the next big battle for same-sex marriage advocates. It's "fundamental to where this issue goes next," Fred Sainz of the Human Rights Campaign told MSNBC.
"But three years ago, I also promised you this: I said that even if it took more time than we would like, we would see progress, we would see success, we would see real and lasting change. And together, that's what we're witnessing."

Health & Pregnancy
Ominous Rise in Pre-Pregnancy Diabetes
April 28, 2008 -- Diabetes before pregnancy -- linked to miscarriage and birth defects -- has doubled in six years.
The finding comes from analysis of data on more than 175,000 pregnant women treated in Kaiser Permanente hospitals from 1999 through 2005. The researchers focused on the 2,784 births to women who had type 1 or type 2 diabetes at the time they became pregnant. They did not have gestational diabetes, which develops for the first time during pregnancy.
Pregnancy Videos
In 1999, eight out of 1,000 births were to women who had type 1 or type 2 diabetes. By 2005, this more than doubled to 18 out of 1,000 births. And this number includes only women who successfully gave birth. Diabetes is a major risk factor for miscarriage, notes study researcher Jean M. Lawrence, MD, MPH, of Kaiser Permanente.
"Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are more dangerous for the baby and potentially harder to treat than gestational diabetes," Lawrence tells WebMD. "It means that diabetes is with you the entire pregnancy -- particularly the crucial early stage of pregnancy, before women even know they are pregnant. At this stage, high blood sugar can cause miscarriage and birth defects."
Nobody knew Sandy Kaplan had diabetes when she had a miscarriage. For most of their 10-year marriage, the 36-year old San Francisco Bay-area woman and her husband have been trying for another pregnancy.
"I was not really working on diabetes control," Kaplan tells WebMD. "I was a very heavyset girl. The doctors all said I just needed to lose weight, but I said, "Yeah yeah yeah, uh-huh, it's the old fat girl thing again."
That changed when Kaplan finally got pregnant for the second time.
"When I got pregnant something snapped in my head. I thought, 'If I really want to have a baby, I need to take care of myself," she says. "So I went to Kaiser, and they got me into a program with a nutritionist. It is really, really hard to lose weight when you are pregnant. I was about 300 pounds -- but I was down to around 230 when I had my daughter."
That daughter, now 4 months old, is perfectly healthy -- which means Kaplan dodged a bullet, says Celia Dominguez, MD, assistant professor of gynecology and obstetrics at Atlanta's Emory University.
"Whether it's type 1 or type 2 diabetes, when it is not well controlled, even if the baby does make it there is a high risk of anomalies, ranging from 'mermaid' babies without bottom limbs to all kinds of other problems," Dominguez tells WebMD. "If mother's diabetes is not diagnosed or in poor control, it can mean significant handicap to the child."
Although Lawrence's study did not distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, both she and Dominguez believe the increase in prepregnancy diabetes is due to a surge in obesity-linked type 2 diabetes.
Dominguez says several trends are crashing together: growing obesity, a delay in pregnancy, and a tendency for everyone to get heavier as they get older.
"We are literally now changing the face of pregnancy to encompass a little more high risk," she says. "And with that increase in maternal weight unfortunately come other problems like high blood pressure. So do I see more pregnant women with type 2 diabetes than I did two decades ago? Yes."

Guides for People With HIV


text: My fiance and i are planning our honeymoon for 2011 and looking for information about where to do a safari. We have been thinking about doing it in Tanzania (for the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater) but the more we hear about other locations in Botswana and South Africa, we are beginning to question that choice. Can someone give us some guidance about doing a safari in December in Tanz versus other locations? We want to make sure we see all the big animals and not just the WB migration. We also plan on hitting Cape Town and the Seychelles so moving from Tanz to Kruger would save some travel time.

RYAN GOSLING's Mom Wears EVA MENDES' Clothes For "Gangster Squad" Red Carpet Premiere (PHOTOS)
RYAN GOSLING's mom had the honor of wearing EVA MENDES' clothes for her son's "Gangster Squad" red carpet premiere on Monday.
Doesn't she look fabulous?
Ryan Gosling was unable to bring his sexy girlfriend Eva Mendes to the red carpet premiere of his new movie, "Gangster Squad," but he was accompanied by the other woman in his life… his adorable mom, Donna Gosling.
And to make sure that Eva was sort-of there, Mrs. Gosling wore items from the actress' closet!
The Canadian heartthrob dished to E! News:
"My mother's wearing all my girlfriend's clothes."
Donna—who then sported a silver coat over a thigh-high dark gray dress, strappy black platform heels, sheer black stockings and a bejeweled handbag—beamed in confirmation, adding:
"I'm wearing Eva Mendes. She let me raid her closet."
How cute!
When asked why his mother was such a perfect date, he told Us Weekly:
"I mean, where do I start? That's an impossible question to answer. She's amazing!"
See more photos of the good-looking mother and son tandem on the red carpet below:

Samsung Galaxy Tab 11.6 release tipped for MWC 2012
Samsung looks set to expand its already varied array of tablet devices with an oversized Samsung Galaxy Tab 11.6 to land in February with a near 12-inch display, new reports have revealed.
Tipped for MWC 2012 arrival at the end of February, the 11.6-inch Samsung tablet is claimed to sport a form factor little bigger than that of its injunction hit 10.1-inch sibling with a much smaller bezel offing increased real-estate for the expansive display.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 11.6 Features
Quoting a "reliable source" the new reports, which come courtesy of BGR, have suggested that the mooted Galaxy Tab 11.6 will boast Google's recently released Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich mobile operating system with Apple's seemingly iPad 3 bound Retina Display to be trumped by the inclusion of a hefty 2560 x 1600p Full HD offering.
Driving the leaked tablet to true powerhouse status, a 2GHz dual-core Exynos processor is said to be on the Tab 11.6's impressive specs list with Android Beam inclusion seeing the users able to sync the upcoming tablet with their Galaxy Nexus handsets.
Is 11.6-inches too big for a tablet device, should manufacturers simply stick a functional keyboard on the bottom and call it a laptop? Let us know what you think via the comments box below.

World's first Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich tablet released
The world's first Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich tablet has gone on sale with Chinese manufacturer Ainovo taking the honours with a budget 7-inch offering, the Ainovo NOVO7.
With the Motorola Xoom 2 expected to be the first ICS tab prior to its somewhat disappointing unveiling, speculation and anticipation has been rife for a number of weeks around which high profile manufacturer would get the nod to release the first tablet sporting the latest Google mobile OS offering.
Ainovo NOVO7 Specs
- Asides from joining the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in the now two strong contingent of Ice Cream Sandwich outing devices the entry level Ainovo NOVO7 features specs which punch far beyond its minimalist £60 price tag.
- Boasting 4GB of internal storage and a MIPS-based 1GHz processor the NOVO7 touts front and rear mounted 2-megapixel cameras alongside a touted seven hour battery life whilst browsing the web.
- Despite coming firmly out of left field to land as the first Android Ice Cream Sandwich tablet, Ainovo is claiming to have the full support of Google and the company's head of Android, Andy Rubin.
- "I'm thrilled to see the entrance of MIPS-Based Android 4.0 tablets into the market," the Ainovo press release quotes the Google leader as saying.
- "Low cost, high performance tablets are a big win for mobile consumers and a strong illustration of how Android's openness drives innovation and competition for the benefit of consumers around the world."

HTC G1 gets a taste of Ice Cream Sandwich (video)
Even though Ice Cream Sandwich is popping up everywhere since its source code was released to the public, we've got to give a shout out now that its been squeezed onto the original Google phone, HTC's G1. The G1 was last seen sporting an unofficial Honeycomb port, and now jcarrz1 from XDA-Developers is showing off his device running Android 4.0 in this video. So far the touchscreen is (slowly) working, along with all apps and "ICS goodies", though WiFi, Bluetooth and rotation are still out. That's a nice effort for a device that some said wouldn't see any versions past 1.5, so press play and witness the unholy fusion of Android's past and present working all at once, or hit the source link below to grab the alpha release for yourself.

Samsung Galaxy S II Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade confirmed
Hardly the most unpredictable news in the world, but Samsung has now officially confirmed that the Galaxy S II will be receiving an upgrade to the next big version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich. That word comes from the company's UK Twitter feed, though specific dates aren't yet being provided. Samsung's UK strategy has generally been consistent with the rest of Europe, meaning that an update to British Galaxy S II phones will likely be happening simultaneously with those in neighboring countries. US owners of the various carrier-branded GSII models should be a little more wary, however, as the history of Samsung Android upgrades in that market has been one of patchy, inconsistent updates that typically come quite a bit later than the global version. For now, let's just add another highly prized handset to the growing list of confirmed ICS upgrades.
If you were hoping for similarly good news with respect to Samsung's earlier top model, the Galaxy S, the company's saying it has nothing to announce yet. An update to Ice Cream Sandwich isn't being ruled out, but clearly Samsung doesn't want to make any promises it won't be able to keep.

HTC Zeta rendered, rumored to pack 2.5GHz quad-core CPU and Ice Cream Sandwich
Ready for today's grain of salt? We just got handed imagery and specs of a possible HTC device in the works codenamed the Zeta. It's a quad-core handset, much like the Edge that was leaked last week, but it has a much faster 2.5GHz APQ8064 CPU along with 1GB of RAM running the show, on a 4.5-inch 720p HD display. According to our source, the uniquely shaped smartphone will come with Ice Cream Sandwich pre-installed with Sense UI (version 4.0 wasn't specified, but we'd be surprised to see it any lower on an ICS device) and have 32GB of internal storage space, an 1,830mAh battery, Beats Audio, Bluetooth 4.0, an 8MP rear camera with dual LED flash, 1080p video capture and a 1.3MP front-facing cam. Dimensions? We have those, too: the Zeta is said to measure at 109.8 x 60.9 x 9.8mm (4.32 x 2.4 x 0.39 inches) and weigh 5.15 ounces (146g). Pricing and availability aren't known, and we're still digging for more info. It certainly has an intriguing look; the sharp corners would be a huge departure from HTC's recent design choices, though it appears to have HTC's signature unibody build in the back. So are we just looking at a cool concept or is this the next flagship phone? We're hoping it's the latter.

Ice Cream Sandwich source code released, custom ROMs inevitable
The Google ice cream truck hit neighborhoods early, handing out tasty ice cream sandwiches to everyone! That's right, the Ice Cream Sandwich source code was made available and modders couldn't get the wrapper off quick enough. AOSP Software Engineer Jean-Baptiste Queru broke the news yesterday and stated that it was "actually the source code for version 4.0.1 of Android, which is the specific version that will ship on the Galaxy Nexus." He also made it a point to let everyone know that while this release includes the full history of the Android source code tree (Honeycomb included), everyone should try and focus on Ice Cream Sandwich (since Honeycomb was a little incomplete).
Well, I'm sure all the modders, developers and hackers are hard at work and we should start seeing those custom ROMs in no time. I can already smell CM9 (smells like bacon flavored ice cream) coming and hopefully this is also a sign that the Galaxy Nexus is right around the corner. Also be wary of anyone pushing out the "first" Android 4.0 custom ROMs, as they may end up being for notoriety purposes only and not too stable. Anyone interested can go ahead and grab the source along with all the instructions at the link below. Happy modding!

HTC Ville detailed: HTC Sense 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, thinner than iPhone
We just got the scoop on another brand new HTC handset, which will be part of the company's Mobile World Congress announcements alongside the HTC Edge we detailed yesterday. The HTC Ville (codename) is set to launch in April with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and, for the first time, HTC Sense 4.0. The smartphone will feature a 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED display, and is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon Series 4 processor. In addition to those specifications, the HTC Ville will house an 8-megapixel backside-illuminated camera, just like the one on the HTC Edge, with 1080p HD video capture support. We're told the handset won't feature NFC due to the metal construction of the case, and it will be less than 8mm thick, we understand. Lastly, it will be a HSPA+ device powered by a 1,650 mAh battery, and of course Beats audio processing will be included as well.

Equity partnerships ride out the recession at UK's top firms…

I love the fact that Halliwells feature on this list. I bet their partners are very proud.
Real cutting edge journalism.
do they count as equity partners if they have been recruited as such but cannot afford to put the money in?
Agreed. But surely they should top the list? There's no tighter equity than NO equity!
DLA. You are an accountancy firm.
Anon, what's your problem? Halliwells filed for administration in June. The figures refer to the past financial year.
Real hard-nosed, piercing, rapier-like commentary. Well done.

2002 IS300 Sportcross. by Ricky, Orlando, FL on 12/31/2007. Trim: 2002 Lexus IS 300 SportCross SportCross, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Great sound of engine, Performance, Interior styling, Sound system, Utility of hatch, Exterior styling
Cons: Intrusive manumatic (doesnt let you shift into first, shifts for you if you hit the redline), Some materials on interior are questionable (but you can buy dash kits online to alleviate this problem), CD changer has been problematic for many IS owners, A few annoying blind spots.
Overall review: I love this car, but a few small things could have made it a true competitor in 2002. They can be easily fixed so theres nothing truly in this car to dislike. The extra room in the back because of the hatch design helps, but its no Suburban. They should have made the exhaust sportier, its a dual exhaust setup from the engine but it combines to one tailpipe before its at the back.
