I am extremely pleased with St. Andrew's. After searching for months for the perfect school for my children, we decided on St. Andrew's and couldn't be happier. The teachers and curriculum are top-notch. There is always a ton of communication between the parents and teachers. There is also a new Head of School this year who is very responsive to ideas and concerns. The pre-school is very nurturing and loving. The pre-schoolers receive music, Spanish, library and gym which is not offered in many pre-schools. The class size is really the big selling point. If you think class size is not important, think again. The Kindergarten classes have 12 students with TWO teachers full-time. My child was never really interested in writing or reading until he started at St. Andrew's. He loves school and wants to learn. Pick-up and drop-off is really easy with a car-line system. You can drop the kids off between 7:50-8:15 in the elementary school and pick up is between 3:10-4 basically which is a great. The art program is amazing! It's a green school! There are goats and chickens on site. The atheletic fields and playgrounds are super nice.
St Andrews has the perfect size classes and the school has a warm environment. The teachers and kids are happy (and it shows), the outdoor fields are great and the fact the Administration listens to parents and constantly tries to make the school better each year - appealing.
School provides structure and attention that my daughter needed. We have seen great improvement in her development since moving her to St Andrews. Fun and nurturing environment for the kids!
We've been at the school for 3 years, and first learned of it 5 years ago, when touring all area private elementary schools, from the head of our child's then preschool. This respected administrator had 30 years in education, much of that in the Annapolis area, and she told us she heard excellent things about St. Andrew's program. Her advce has proved to be spot on! The academics are challenging. The faculty is engaged and caring. The overall environment is nurturing. The campus, with it's secure neighborhood location, distinct preschool, elementary school and middle school buildings, 2 libraries, beautiful chapel, outdoor class room, spacious fields, gardens, playgrounds, and animals, is delightful. The tuition is a bargain for what is provided. I'm on site often, and am struck by how engaged and happy the kids are. They are also respectful, and the families are supportive. Our child is thriving and loving school. I am a huge fan of St. Andrew's, and have recommended it to a number of friends. I do check back, and all those who have brought their children here are very happy as well.
We have attended St. Andrews for a number of years - my oldest graduated last year (2011) and was fully prepared for the rigor of high school. We have been extremely happy and feel both our children have been challenged academically and at the same time very nurtured. I have recommeded St. Andrews to a number of families over the years and all that have attended have thanked me often for the recommendation. Extremely impressed with the Head of School, her passion and devotion to the children and school is evident every day.
We have had 2 children at St. Andrew's since 1999 and we have been very pleased with the education that they have received. Our daughter is now in her 2nd year of high school at Archbishop Spalding and to say that she was prepared would be an understatement! Our son will graduate next year and is thriving as well. We can truly recommend St. Andrew's to anyone who is looking for a Christian based school with exceptional academics.
One of my children attends St Andrew's and I'm very pleased with the school and teachers. After meeting parents with kids in the upper grades who rave about the advanced curriculum as compared to public schools, I received a copy of the St Andrew's 3rd grade curriculum. With my other child in 3rd grade at blue ribbon public school, I was astonished to see how advanced St Andrew's is by comparison. We're she not so well established, I would certainly make the switch. Teachers at St A's seem to be hired based on their proven history of success and/or ability to educate at a higher level and it show's. As a former student of public school, while I had many good teachers, poor performing teachers were also present and seemingly impossible to get rid of. St A's has no such restrictions, yet they hire well through a stringent process so removing teachers doesn't often seem to be necessary. Lastly, their certification as a "Green School" and focus on teaching kids the value of the environment and each other is an important distinction.
I went to St. Andrew's for middle school and it was great preparation for high school. Some of the St. Andrew's classes were even harder than my preliminary classes in public high school. The teachers were all very good, and it was a great experience overall. One thing that could be improved, however, is their math program; even though their math teacher is the best teacher there (everyone knows this), the math is not as fast-tracked as public middle schools. I made up for this by taking geometry and pre-calc together in one year, so it did not end up being an issue. I am now at an Ivy League school and I honestly believe that St. Andrew's instilled in me a great work ethic and appreciation for education. I definitely recommend the school!
We are Paying $10,000 this year for our child to NOT attend St Andrews UM...should be enough to just say that, but there's more. Horrible experience with St Andrews from start to finish and we were never sure if the school had the ability or talent to just teach kids. Then there is the Administration. Horrible. Then we found out that the teacher did not have certification to teach. (Reported to us from a third party with knowledge of the issue.) VERY unhappy with this school.. signed a contract that was great for making sure we pay them.. but not good to make sure they actually do what they are getting paid for. We have plenty more to say.. just contact us here and we'll be happy to give you the REAL picture of this school. I only gave one star because the website made me select one.
I have been disappointed with the mid school math program. However i do believe that it will improve. The art program is excellent and the caring environment at St. Andrew's is wonderful. Mr. Roberson is a big plus for St. Andrew's.
I have two children at St. Andrew's and their experience at this school has been exceptional. They are thriving both academically and socially. There are so many opportunities to have hands on learning either in the classroom or on the many fieldtrips they experience (both educational and philanthropic). St. Andrew's has a great balance between the core academic classes and a wonderful arts and music program. My children are getting a very well rounded learning experience that will help them in whichever direction their next step takes them. There are also an amazing number of extracurricular opportunities for your children to thrive in so many other ways.
Excellent academics. Caring teachers and leadership. Good selection of extracurricular activities. Positive learning environment. Many improvements since new principal arrived in summer of 06.
this school is aHmazingg. the teachers are great, exepct a few. i have learned alot here
The new principle was a great ideal she is making it a bully proof, fun, and educational environment. She is just what the school needed!
The new head of school (principal) is a highly capable leader that has invigorated math and science within the school without losing the caring social environment that has always made St. Andrew's special. Her cross-disciplinary approach to teaching has engaged both the teachers and kids. For example: math classes frame problems in terms of current social studies topics, science classes use techniques being taught in math, reading and writing exercises involve science and social studies topics.
Have been there for 6 years. 2005-2006 things have changed. Many new teachers and big gaps in what students are learning one year to the next. The school seems unorganized this year.
Saint Andrews UM Day School is led by a very caring Pastor and wonderful School staff. The educational experience my children continue to have here is exceptional. The characteristics of the students themselves: bright, courteous, upbeat, and eager to learn. Sure, parents have been asked to support the construction of a new building, but this was done to move children OUT of very old portable classrooms and INTO a new and modern facility. When we first arrived at the school, the playground facilities were very limited/the kids played with rocks! Thanks to parents and wonderful/devoted staffmembers, a brand new playground was purchased and installed. If all of the est. St. Andrews' 200 families chip in - we can continue to ensure our children and their educataors have a safe and motivating environment to enjoy. PS We haven't experienced the 'snob alert' suggested in prev reviews. EDC/JA
Our daughter has been here for 6 years and it's the perfect place for her. Very caring faculty, Good discipline, getting better qualified teachers,caring environment, but very money-hungry. Snob factor alert.
Our son has been a student at St. Andrews since preschool. When he graduates, he will have spent ll formulative years here. Not only has he learned in a nuturing environment of an accredited independent school, he has made countless friends, learned to play an instrument, honed his athletic skills in three sports, and will be very prepared to continue independent education at the secondary level. The school has grown to a faculty of over 50 and student population of over 410 in just a few years. With new facilities coming on line during the next year, the school will be even that much better! I encourage all parents who seek independent education, that is modestly priced, with low teacher to student ratios to consider St. Andrews. I am glad we did!
I think the environment at St. Andrew's is compassionate. Unfortunately, lately in an attempt to keep up with 'The Jones', they have spent considerable time solicitating money from the parents and children. Classroom time is spent trying to convince the kids that it's worth the investment of over 2 million dollars. All this in an effort to build a gym and a middle school building. While the majority of parents weren't asked to vote on the issue of whether to build the latest buildings, they have been asked to pay for it to the tune of $6,800 per family. Teachers provide a learning environment not buildings.

I'm sure a lot of you have had this experience where you're changing, you're growing as a person.. and people still tend to treat you like you were 18 months ago.
It can be very frustrating.
..The best way to deal with this is by keeping our eye on the prize, and turning out some great product.. marching forward, one foot in front of the other.. and it's gonna take care of itself. By the end of the year, it's gonna look quite different."—Amazing quote about people (and very applicable to products) from Steve Jobs the great WWDC video from 1997 (ht to ronenreblogs for pulling it)

- Don't try to build a community
- Your first 50 to 100 users are the most important users you'll ever have
- Be human
- Have a focus
- Always listen to users, but only sometimes
- Users need to feel ownership

The Jacksonville Jaguars have been starting Will Blackmon and Alan Ball at their starting cornerback spots, but the Jaguars will be re-inserting Dwayne Gratz into the starting lineup after not starting him in two-CB sets over the past two weeks. The Jaguars were easing Gratz back into things following his return from a severe high-ankle sprain, which caused him to miss five games. Gratz was able to return in Week 7, and he'll be starting tomorrow against the rival Tennessee Titans following the bye week.
According to the Florida Times Union's Ryan O'Halloran, the Jaguars will now start Gratz over Blackmon, who has looked impressive this season and has shown excellent ball skills. It's unclear as to why Blackmon will be benched in favor of Ball, but Gratz's return to the starting lineup shows that this team has a lot of faith in him. He looked good before the ankle sprain, and Gratz has a bright future ahead of him as a rookie out of UConn.
Here's what Gratz said about his return to the starting lineup, "I feel like it's a big chance. Since I got here, I've been mentally preparing myself for any situation and I feel like [Bradley] trusts me to give me the opportunity to show what I can do."
Gus Bradley has always been high on Gratz, which isn't much of a surprise. He plays with the physical kind of style that Bradley loves, and I think Gratz has shown up very well in run defense in the limited times that I have seen him play this season.

Flexible LEDs Get Under the SkinOctober 23, 2010 – 9:08 am
John Rogers, a professor from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has headed up a research effort to develop a flexible and implantable LED array. Collaborating with researchers from the United States, China, Korea and Singapore, Rogers used ultra-thin sheets of inorganic LEDs and photodetectors. Potential applications include medical monitoring, activating photo-sensitive drugs and other biomedical applications. They also could be used in light-emitting sutures or implantable illuminated plasmonic crystals.
According to the researchers, the lights can bend and twist as much as 75% , which enables them to interfere minimally with movement. The LEDs are encapsulated in a thin layer of silicon rubber to enable them to function well when implanted or when immersed in liquids.
We've covered some other research from professor Rogers in the past on medtechinsider:
Flexible Electronics Could Lead to New Generation of Implantable Medical Devices

Scientists Discover Substance That Causes Pain
Posted 28 Apr 2010 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, April 28 – The human body produces a substance similar to capsaicin – which makes chili peppers hot – at sites of pain, and blocking production of this substance can ease pain, a new study shows. The findings may lead to the development of non-addictive painkillers, according to the researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. In work with mice, the scientists found that a family of fatty acids called oxidized linoleic acid metabolites (OLAMs) play an important role in the biology of pain. "This is a major breakthrough in understanding the mechanisms of pain and how to more effectively treat it," senior investigator Kenneth Hargreaves, chair of the Department of Endodontics in the Dental School at the UT Health Sciences Center, said in an UT news release. "These data demonstrate, for the first time, that OLAMs constitute a new family of ... Read more

19-year-old son stumbles in and flops onto the toilet
Toilet Wall: Code Red, everyone. Code Red!
Mirror Wall: He just stuffed a Chipotle bag in the trash. We're in this for the long haul, boys.
Son: Ugh, leave me alone! I need to concentrate.
Picture Wall: Then don't start playing Tiny Wings this time. Last time you were here for half an hour.
Mirror Wall: We nearly died of suffocation.
Son: This is my bathroom and I'll take however long I want.
Toilet Wall: At least give us a courtesy flush.
Son: Just give me a little privacy.
Picture Wall: I have an idea. Have your dad build an outhouse in the backyard. Win-win.
Son: It's the middle of the winter. I'd freeze to death.
Mirror Wall: Better than suffocating to death.
Son: Look, no one's enjoying this. But the sooner you quit bugging me the faster I'll be.

WebMD's Top Health Stories of 2011
Stem-Cell Breakthrough? continued...
Of the 14 patients analyzed so far, heart function improved dramatically. And in the eight patients seen one year after treatment, improvement appears to have continued. Moreover, the scars on patients hearts -- areas of dead tissue killed during their heart attacks -- are healing.
And patients aren't just doing better on measures of heart function. They report vastly improved quality of life and ability to perform daily tasks.
How big of a deal is this? WebMD asked an independent expert not involved in the study.
"This is a groundbreaking study of extreme importance," said Joshua Hare, MD, director of the University of Miami's Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute.
A word of caution: Not all promising clinical research results in a treatment. A case in point is the first human trial of stem cells to heal people paralyzed with spine injuries.
Despite a promising beginning, the company that makes the stem cells this year closed the clinical trial and stopped developing the treatment.
But undoubtedly, the research will continue elsewhere, perhaps leading to another story of the year.

affiliate marketing for beginners 3 foundational steps you must take to be successful
Before we start talking about affiliate marketing for beginners, let's get one thing clear.
Just because you don't know about affiliate marketing doesn't make you a dummy. You just don't know what you don't know.
And quite frankly, there's probably a lot you don't know. Way more than I can cover in one article. But what I can do today is give you a quick look at the basics of affiliate marketing for beginners.
At it's most basic, it can be summed up in 3 steps.
Identify a group with a need
Find a product or service to fill the need
Introduce the group to the product or service
Affiliate marketing for beginners is really as simple as these 3 things, the rest depends what happens between the prospective customer and the vendor.
So how do you go about doing this stuff?
First, lets talk about finding an audience and matching them to a product or service.
The first step to doing this is separating needs from wants.
Because people are much more likely to spend money on what they need vs what they want. You have to have what you need. But you'll pass on something that you'd just like to have.
For example, let's say you are marketing a skin moisturizer. One is for general use, the other is for people with eczema. Which one do you think will be an easier sell?
The one for eczema because this person NEEDS to stop the itchiness, the flaking and sometimes bleeding that comes with this skin condition. The general moisturizer is a product that is simply nice to have.
Makes sense?
OK, so that takes us to step 3. How do you find an audience of eczema sufferers and match them to the moisturizer?
Well, you put yourself in their shoes. Where would you go if you had this issue? Would you do a search on Google?
I would!
And when you do, you'll find everything from Wikis to websites on the subject. But as an affiliate marketer, you need to know exactly how to position yourself online to be successful. You want to be right in the line of fire when that audience is ready to buy.
Knowing these things are crucial for affiliate marketing for beginners.

SWS is awesome. So glad I got into it early. Are you in the Hands program?
No, but I've heard about it. Are you? If so, how has it been? I'd love to hear about it.
I'm not but many of my grad school colleagues were/are. I'm probably now at the point in my career at which I should be a mentor. Which is pretty scary. I just know that SWS is a great group and that it is a great opportunity to get in early. If your advisor is pushing it, go for it.
I was/am mad lucky to have fabulous feminist mentoring in grad school even without the official nature of Hands, simply because I went to school where I did (Florida State). Where are you going to school? Is it a PhD program?

You might try rubbing a bit of Neosporin on it. It will sooth it and also, as a bonus, it will taste bad (but harmless!) so he's less likely to keep licking it.

What the what?

holy fucking shit there is a woman on my bus right now drinking RUBBING ALCOHOL

I collect them.
Now I feel obligated to post a horrible picture of my latest poop. You know, for science.
I am so annoyed I could puke.
So am I Irish or what? I kind of need to know.
If only I had an enemy bigger than my apathy I would have won.
I think I've developed an allergy to something and if it's dairy, I will just die
I could live without gluten or soy or whatever the fuck else I could suddenly be intolerant of, but if I have to give up cheese?
there will be BLOOD
I go through weird stages of this. I blame hormones. Or society.

Photo: Harvest the Hope
The "Harvest the Hope" concert featuring headliners Willie Nelson and Neil Young took place on Sept. 27, 2014 at the Tanderup farm near Neligh, NE, which lies directly in the path of the Keystone XL pipeline, and also crosses the Ponca Trail of Tears.
By 2012, the U.S. was awash in light sweet crude from (fracked) shale oil deposits in Texas, North Dakota and elsewhere. With Midwest and Gulf Coast refineries configured to take heavy oil, that light crude has been looking for a refining home.
British Columbia is a land of extremes, blessed by the clash of successive unstable terrains that have shaped its geography and its flora and fauna.Even the human fauna is shaped by it to extremes of political polarization. British Columbia takes some pride in being home to some of the nation's wackiest, most extreme and incomprehensible politics. That probably explains a lot about the actual lamentable state of the environment belying BC's spectacular landscapes.
Washington, DC – On the last day of the public comment period, Keystone XL opponents held a rally in front of the State Department to deliver more than 2 million comments submitted to the State Department to urge Secretary Kerry and President Obama to reject the dirty, dangerous pipeline. The public comment period regarding the national interest of the pipeline began on February 5, after the State Department published the final environmental review.
Line 9B Reversal Brings Tar Sands to New England's Doorstep; Faces Major Obstacles to Get In
Today, Canada's National Energy Board (NEB) approved Enbridge's controversial application to reverse the flow and increase the capacity of Line 9B between southern Ontario and Montreal. Enbridge's requests are part of an effort to ship tar sands oil to Eastern Canada and the United States. Anti-tar sands groups in Canada and the United States are united in condemning the decision.
Good news for white sturgeon, the pacific humpback whale, the marbled murrelet, the southern mountain woodland caribou and over 200 other critters. In a spectacular victory for environmental groups and the critters, the Federal Court has ruled that the Ministers of Environment and Fisheries broke the law, and were negligent in their lack of enforcement of the Species At Risk Act.
by Eric Swanson, Dogwood Initiative
When it comes to elections, groups can walk three basic paths: do nothing, back a specific candidate or party, or develop a credible non-partisan approach.
In "The Successful and Disastrous Election Politics of the BC Environmental Movement" Bruce Edson implies groups should have endorsed the NDP or at the very least refrained from anything that could cast doubt on them, and then trust if the NDP got elected they'd "do the right thing."
I suspect we can all think of examples where that approach hasn't worked out.
by David Ellis, June 28, 2013
It was spring in the British Columbia coast mountains, a glorious time, no mosquitoes yet, here in the high country, 4100 feet up, the sun felt hot, you are closer to it, up here. The last of the snow patches were still hanging on, in the shade of the aromatic balsam firs. I had several times that day pulled balsam needles off as I passed, crushed them, and put them to my nose, the scent, was exhilarating. The roar and murmur of streams and runoff, was everywhere, my boots were soaked from fording three swollen creeks.
The Wilderness Committee has taken a close look at the NDP's platform. Campaign Director (and Watershed Sentinel columnist) Joe Foy gives us an assessment of what the party says it will do if it wins the provincial election on May 14. Joe Foy is National Campaign Organizer for the Wilderness Committee. He speaks with Redeye host Jane Williams.
Writing for Island Tides, Elizabeth May discusses the issues around all the pipeline proposals, eastern Canada's reliance on foreign oil, and comes to the only sensible solution -- slow down the expansion of the tar sands to a managable and steady 2 million barrels a day, which would cool inflation, and construct the refineries needed so that Alberta is shipping conventional oil and gas to eastern Canada instead of dilbert. May says this would be thinking like a country.
Sounds like a plan to me.

Definition: This entry gives the average annual number of deaths during a year per 1,000 population at midyear; also known as crude death rate. The death rate, while only a rough indicator of the mortality situation in a country, accurately indicates the current mortality impact on population growth. This indicator is significantly affected by age distribution, and most countries will eventually show a rise in the overall death rate, in spite of continued decline in mortality at all ages, as declining fertility results in an aging population.

Do you want to add over 100 hp to your 6.1L Hemi with a box of parts, some average mechanical skills, and about eight hours of your time? Now that I have your attention, check out what Vortech can do for your SRT8 Mopar.
I happen to have a 2006 SRT8 Charger, and I wanted it to go faster. I wanted the most horsepower and torque I could get for the money, and I like the idea of installing it myself in my garage with basic tools. Like most of you, I'm not a mechanic, so I imagine a lot of you reading this have had those thoughts go through your mind at least a few times. If you know me, you know I'm a musician who loves guitars and cars. I like to wrench on my stuff anytime my schedule permits. FYI, I've written plenty of songs, but I have never written an editorial before. When presented the opportunity to install a blower on my SRT8 Dodge Charger and write about my experience doing it for Popular Hot Rodding magazine, I jumped at the chance. You see, I'm a Mopar guy. I own both new and old ones. As of writing this article, I own five Mopars and am working on acquiring my sixth (the new Dodge Challenger SRT8). I really love my SRT8, and everything was fine until I went to the quarter-mile track for the first time. Trust me, this car has more than enough power from the factory for most people, but if you've ever been bitten by the drag racing bug, you know what I'm talking about. My first time at the track, I ran the car to a best of 13.00 at 108 mph with a couple of Mopar Performance bolt-ons (exhaust and cold air intake) into a 35-mph headwind. That's pretty darned good, but now I need more, because at the strip, it's all about going faster, and that 13-oh barrier is begging to be broken.
I started thinking about the options that would meet my criteria, and decided on a supercharger. Supercharging an engine is nothing new. It's a proven method of boosting horsepower that's been done for years in all kinds of automotive applications. Supercharging an engine is pretty simple in theory. Force as much cool, dense air as possible (with the right amount of fuel!) into the engine, and create more cylinder pressure and power. It's like increasing the displacement, but you don't have to do a thing to the engine.
When looking for a supercharger for my 6.1L, I wanted to go with a company that had a history of supercharging cars with good results. That's when I came across Vortech's kit for the new-generation Hemi. It's just what I was looking for: a company that's been doing this for a long time. Its technicians are top-notch, and this is a system it developed in-house, not a mix-and-match group of parts that someone pieced together in their backyard. This is a brand-new unit that uses a centrifugal supercharger, which is ideal for cars that have a limited amount of space to work with inside the engine bay. The Hemi kit includes an intercooler to help cool the air charge as it is force-fed into the engine. All the large components are made of aluminum to keep the weight and temperatures down. It also includes larger injectors and a Boost-A-Pump for increased fuel delivery. You can buy one right now, and the typical street price is $4,900 for a satin finish, or $5,200 for a polished one like this. Vortech is awaiting CARB approval, so for now it's for off-road use only, but once the California Air Resources Board exemption order is issued, it will be 50-state legal, and you can get the necessary documentation for your Hemi kit sent to you from Vortech.
Let's get down to the nitty gritty. You want to know how much power this thing makes. When I first drove my car to Vortech, we did a baseline run on its Mustang dyno. The dyno showed my car putting 283 hp and 286 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. Don't be shocked by those numbers because I previously had the car on a Dynojet dyno and it posted 400 hp and 402 lb-ft. Those numbers, incidentally, were produced with a Mopar Performance cold air induction kit and a Mopar Performance exhaust-both of which I installed myself. Seems like quite a discrepancy, but the Mustang dyno has a reputation for being more conservative with its numbers, and what's really important in the overall scheme of things is the amount of horsepower gained. Now that I had a base number for reference, I could install my kit. As I opened the box, I noticed just how complete this thing is. No runs to the auto parts store for any missing pieces. No need to have my car's computer tuned after installing the supercharger. Vortech supplies a Diablosport Predator handheld tuner with a preprogrammed tune for this application. Just plug it into your car's OBD-II port, and in about 10 minutes you're ready to go. After everything was done and buttoned up, the guys at Vortech did another run on the Mustang dyno. I must say, the proof's in the puddin'. (Hey, maybe there's a lyric in there somewhere!) The new peak numbers are 395 hp and 384 lb-ft; that's a net gain of 116 hp and 104 lb-ft at a very conservative pump-gas-friendly 4.6 pounds of boost. This setup is very streetable, and at the same time allows me to smoke the rear wheels all the way through Third gear should I feel the urge. So far I've only been through one tank of gas since the install, but I haven't noticed any drop in mileage. That's impressive, considering I can't seem to keep my foot out of this thing! I also haven't made it back to the track yet, but I'll be going down that quarter-mile as soon as my touring schedule permits to get you guys an updated quarter-mile timeslip.
The quality of workmanship in this kit is great, and the parts are notably lightweight. It took the better part of a day to install the system on my car, but I had a little help from Ricky Best at Vortech. If you're on your own, give yourself a weekend to get the job done. There's not a lot that needs to be removed from thecar prior to installation, and the instructions are clear, but if you want a little extra guidance, you can follow along as I show you the high points on installing the Vortech supercharger on my SRT8.

1. Donovan McNabb
Donovan McNabb is one of the best quarterbacks to ever play in my lifetime. He led the Eagles to four consecutive NFC Championship Games and is a six-time Pro Bowler. The Donovan McNabb now playing for the Vikings isn't close to the McNabb that played for the Eagles all those years. In his first game in a Viking uniform, McNabb threw for less than 40 yards against the Chargers. Not good. He improved his performance last week with 228 yards but only had a 83.8 QB Rating. Detroit's secondary is much improved and that combined with the front seven of the Lions, McNabb doesn't stand a chance. McNabb used to be agile, quick, and could get himself out of pressure but not anymore. One of Minnesota's top weapons, Percy Harvin, is mysteriously not playing much anymore. Percy Harvin's limited playing time definitely doesn't help McNabb or the offense.
2. Matthew Stafford
Sorry Viking fans, Shaun Hill won't be the quarterback starting against you this time. Instead you'll have to bother with one of the hottest quarterbacks in the league right now. Stafford has already thrown for 599 yards and 7 touchdowns this year. The Vikings are ranked in the bottom third of the league in passing difference. I expect a repeat of his past two performances against the Vikes this weekend. The Lions are stacked at receivers with Johnson, Young, Bureleson and have two great tight ends. Matthew Stafford is the only QB that hasn't been sacked this year. That is a testament to the offensive line's great pass protection. Once again, I don't expect Stafford to have any sort of problems against the Viking defense.
3. Minnesota is awful after half-time.
The Vikings have took big half-time leads to the locker room this year only to be beat both times. They blew a 17-0 lead last week against the Bucs and had a 17-7 half-time lead against the Chargers before losing the game. Last week, the Lions outscored the Cheifs by 28 points in the second half. We are only two games into this season but Viking fans should be concerned with the way the team has played in the second half of the games. I do not know the cause of this problem but it needs to be fixed for the Vikings to have a successful season. Hopefully the trend will continue this Sunday.

The Obama administration does not think new restrictions on government procurement of IT products sourced from China will benefit cybersecurity. The measure was tucked away in the continuing resolution Obama signed into law March 26, and requires NASA, the Commerce and Justice departments and the National Science Foundation to clear IT acquisitions that involve companies with supply-chain links to Chinese state-owned or state-directed firms.
White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden told The Hill on April 5 that, "The undefined terms of this provision will make implementation challenging." The measure, she said, "could prove highly disruptive without significantly enhancing the affected agencies' cybersecurity. While the administration has raised concerns about the cyber threats emanating from China, resolving this issue requires open dialogue between the U.S. and China."
While the White House appears to be seeking the removal of the language regarding China IT sourcing from future appropriations bills, the provision is currently the law of the land, and the government is expected to put forth rules for its implementation. A congressional staffer familiar with the issue told FCW that he had "every confidence that the law would be implemented effectively and appropriately," and said, "I hope agencies remember that it's Congress and not the White House that's responsible for their appropriations." The language in the continuing resolution was originally proposed by Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) who heads the Appropriations subcommittee that funds the four agencies affected by the law. Wolf has been among the most outspoken members of Congress on the potential threat posed to U.S. interests from IT firms with strong Chinese government connections.
Industry groups are also pushing back against the rule. U.S.-China Business Council president John Frisbie urged the leadership of both parties in the Senate and the House of Representatives to reject "country-specific restrictions" in cybersecurity legislation. In an April 8 letter, Frisbie wrote, "The U.S. and Chinese government should cooperate to address cybsersecurity issues as they impact the commercial relationship, starting with one fundamental premise: commercial espionage should not be tolerated and if it is not addressed, it could undermine a constructive commercial relationship."
This underscores the complaint in an April 4 letter signed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, TechAmerica, and other key groups warning that the measure set "a troubling and counterproductive precedent that could have significant international repercussions and put U.S.-based global IT companies at a competitive disadvantage in global markets."
The congressional aide expects to see the language included in the 2014 version of the appropriation for the affected agencies, and that it might be extended by other appropriators. "We see it as a pilot strategy to deal with this problem," he said.

Kejriwal is aiming for LS elections, says Sheila Dikshit
Former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Saturday said that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal is aiming for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections and added that he is keen to prove that the AAP is not like the rest of the parties.
"I think he is aiming for the Lok Sabha elections because either he is giving statements on the T.V., or is sitting on a protest. He is keen to prove that this party is unlike the others," Dikshit told media here today.
Quoting Kejriwal's controversial statement saying that he is an anarchist, Dikshit said, "He defined himself by saying this. The Chief Minister has to work for the welfare of the state and its people. You cannot just promise things to the people and then don't act accordingly."
She also said that the people know the truth about the promises he says that he has delivered.
"He said that in 20 days he has fulfilled 22 promises. Now everybody knows the truth about all this," he added.
Referring to the confusion regarding the electricity rate and water in the Delhi, Dikshit said, "He has created confusion among the people. You cannot provide good governance if you confuse people. Now the people have to pay because of this confusion."
On the Jan Lokpal Bill, Dikshit said, "He had to resign as the Jan Lokpal which he was proposing was not constitutional sustainable. It is all related to the constitution. You are an elected body and how can you go against the constitution."
On Friday, Kejriwal resigned as Delhi Chief Minister after the Assembly session was adjourned sine die following protests by the opposition over the Jan Lokpal Bill.
"Today Jan Lokpal Bill was not allowed to be introduced, BJP and Congress united to oppose it. Their true faces have been brought in front of all of us," he said to the AAP supporters who had gathered outside the party office here today.
"I did not come here for power. And today our Government has tendered its resignation. And I will consider myself fortunate if I have to sacrifice my life for the country. We had a Cabinet meeting right now, and it was decided that our government will resign," he added.
Kejriwal also said that the Delhi Assembly should be immediately dissolved, and demanded for re-elections in the state.
He further claimed the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for blocking the Bill in the House, in retaliation to the FIR filed by the Delhi Government against Reliance chairman Mukesh Ambani over gas prices.

Baltimore, MDUSA 21231
September 14, 2011
I would say I am an advanced bassist, some others might say I am an expert...been playing bass since 1978. My guitar skills probably fall in the advanced level and keyboard skills most likely fall in the intermediate level. I just started on the mandolin this year.
I have known about this group for some time now after running into the group at what used to be the Little Falls II bar on Belair road (now The Horse You?) Recently got better acquainted with some of the gang at Benchwarmers in Middle River. Thanks to Les, Mike, Hank, Chris, Art, and a few others for making me feel so welcome!
Tough to pick among Fender American California Series Fat Strat & Taylor 410 CE as far as the six strings go. I like my favorite basses for different reasons. A sweet Fender Amercian Jazz Deluxe which is a great all-around bass for many types of music. It has wide tonal range and active EQ so I can dial in anything from a bright treble tone to a "dub" bass reggae tone, even almost like an upright. A '76 P-Bass has classic tone that you hear on the great rock and roll recordings through the years and really cuts through the mix. I recently was given an acoustic bass (early) for my birthday. It's a Dean Exotica Quited Ash Acoustic/Electric. I've played every acoustic bass that I've seen and had the opportunity to "give a tickle". This Dean is well worth every single penny of the full retail price, and at $371 out the door at Guitar Center, couldn't be more pleased. Huge thanks and much love to my mate Judy for making it happen! If I had to pick just one, it would be the Jazz bass.
I am happy with the small collection that I have but would like to get another acoustic/electric bass to play unplugged mostly at bonfires, the beach etc. I recently had a Dean in my hands at Guitar Center that had a real pretty quilted ash top on it. Saving up for that one now to replace a Kona acoustic bass that the headstock has broken off of. OUCH!
I'll say Paul McCartney because I just love his bass work on the Beatles recordings. His approach was so melodic and just different than most bass players.
Playing out for 33 years now! Bass is my main instrument but I also play guitar, mandolin, and keys AND SING! Had a great time last night playing bass along with Les, Chris, Hank, Art, and a few others at Benchwarmers! Keep up the good work group!
I've only met a small handful of the groups members at Benchwarmers open mic' run by Les Spittel. Thus far I can say that I am impressed with the way Les runs things and the folks that I have met have been fun to jam with! I'll be attending the open mic' at Benchwarmers after giving guitar lessons on Tuesday evenings for the foreseeable future!

Aries is the 3rd installment in the latest round of Brewers' Select Series beers! Aries breaks the mold of preceding Brewers' Select beers in that it is NOT a new beer—rather, it is a blend of two existing beers which have been being mixed by Weyerbacher employees for a few years now. In perfect timing for October / Halloween, Aries is a delicious blend of Old Heathen Imperial Stout and Imperial Pumpkin Ale!
Known around the brewery as a "Black & Orange", this mix is generally credited to Weyerbacher's Philly Sales Rep Mike Lubieski as being a way to support his Flyers and also by NJ Sales Rep Natalie DeChico who got it into firkins here and there (she's the former Philly Beer Geek and creator of Althea). By mixing these two brews, the otherwise pretty dominant cinnamon and nutmeg spices of Imperial Pumpkin Ale are subdued by Old Heathen while highlighting the malt backbone of both beers. The result is a really balanced yet spicy dark beer which will work very well as a dessert beer and still pair nicely with your favorite fall foods.
Since both Old Heathen and Imperial Pumpkin Ale are each 8% ABV, Aries is also a very manageable 8% [really complicated math here].
When Aries was originally conceived, the plan was to mix Heresy—our Bourbon barrel-aged Old Heathen—with Imperial Pumpkin Ale. On the day the decision had to be made, however, it was found that the brand new batch of Old Heathen actually tasted better in the mix so we switched things up a bit. The result speaks for itself!
