A History of Deftones ticketsA groundbreaking metal band from Sacramento, Deftones established their own sound with slamming guitar riffs that took a page out of Black Sabbath's book, but often overlaid with a series of soft, cerebral vocals punctuated with screaming choruses. Many bands have followed their style since the Deftones set the mark. Deftones tickets give you access to the band that originated a style that has since swept the metal genre. Deftones was founded in 1989 by Chino Moreno (lead vocals), Stephen Carpenter (guitar) and Abe Cunningham (drums). They added bassist Chi Cheng and started playing the metal clubs of Sacramento, working to expand their sound and solidify their brand.
Strong DebutAfter touring for several years, the quartet released its first album Adrenaline in 1995 and toured relentlessly to promote it. Their strategy worked well, and Adrenaline sold more than 200,000 copies. By 1997, expectations were high for their second release, and Around the Fur didn't disappoint, scoring hits with the singles 'My Own Summer (Shove It)' and 'Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)', which were assisted by their popular videos. Between the second and third albums, Deftones became a quintet when turntablist and keyboardist Frank Delgado joined. After releasing the EP Live in 1999, Deftones built anticipation of their third feature album high. White Pony, released in 2000, again delivered, debuting at number 3 on the Billboard album charts. With Delgado's input, Deftones was adding new components to its sound, as demonstrated on 'Teenager,' a moody trip-hop song. Influences of the Cure and the Smiths could be heard to creep into their sound as well. The band's 2003 release Deftones continued to expand on their musical styles, again incorporating trip hop, and though it received critical acclaim it wasn't a fan favorite like its predecessors. Saturday Night Wrist, released in 2006, was again a critical success but didn't enjoy the Billboard success as earlier albums. Tensions among band members were beginning to tug at the fray as well, particularly Chi Cheng's drug addiction. Though Deftones have remained a popular concert draw, 2010's Diamond Eyes provided a sort of comeback recording for the band, even as they continue to expand their sound.

Hoosiers are warned they will be in violation of Indiana law if they take waste tires to Stewart Recycling, Inc.
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) is warning Indiana residents and businesses it is a violation of state law to take waste tires to Stewart Recycling, Inc., 10701 E. Hamlin Chapel Road, Monroe City, Ind. Anyone taking waste tires to the Knox County business will be in violation of state law because IDEM has revoked its waste tire registration. Indiana law requires all waste tire processors, storage facilities and transporters to be properly registered with the state through IDEM.
IDEM inspectors have repeatedly found Stewart Recycling, Inc. in violation of state laws and rules since 2007. Each time the agency has taken appropriate enforcement action to try and bring the company into compliance; however, in subsequent inspections IDEM staff would find repeated violations. IDEM used its authority to deny Stewart Recycling, Inc. its registration renewal on May 2, 2012, making it illegal for them to receive waste tires. A Contempt Hearing is set for 10 a.m., Wednesday, January 23, 2013, in Knox Superior Court I, with Judge Crowley.
IDEM Commissioner Thomas Easterly said, "Sometimes we find that we are at the end of our rope with facilities that refuse to abide by the laws and rules. IDEM has patiently worked with Stewart Tire Recycling, Inc. to bring them into compliance and to make sure they fully understand their environmental responsibilities. Because they have chosen to continually violate environmental laws and rules, IDEM has had to take the most extreme action to protect Hoosiers and the environment. It is unfortunate that one bad player casts a dark shadow over the majority of businesses in the waste tire industry that are operating in compliance with their registration. I want citizens to know that we are serious about protecting them and the environment. We are making Hoosiers aware that it is a violation of law to take waste tires to Stewart Tire Recycling, Inc."
Hoosiers will find a list of permitted recyclers at IDEM's website: www.idem.IN.gov/files/wt_processors_and_storage.pdf. More information about waste tire recycling can be found at: www.idem.IN.gov/recycle/2344.htm.
About IDEM
IDEM (www.idem.IN.gov) implements federal and state regulations regarding the environment. Through compliance assistance, incentive programs and educational outreach, the agency encourages and aids businesses and citizens in protecting Hoosiers and our environment.

ALBANY — Once again, the Labrador retriever is the top dog in the capital city.
The American Kennel Club released its 2012 ranking of Albany's most popular dog breeds Wednesday and the only change from the 2011 list was in the 5th spot, where the beagle knocked out No. 5 from 2011, the Doberman Pinscher.
Albany's Top 5 Breeds in 2012:
1) Labrador retriever
2) German shepherd
3) Boxer
4) Golden retriever
5) Beagle
The Lab is a stout hunting breed and strong swimmer from Canada that comes in black, yellow and chocolate colors and is noted for its intelligence and family-friendly temperament. The Lab was also the most popular breed nationally and Albany's canine preferences mirrored national trends. The AKC list is compiled by dog registration data for each city's zip codes.
Albany showed an affinity for larger breeds. The smaller Chihuahua and Maltese fell off the 2012 list. Four new breeds entered Albany's top 10 for 2012: Boston terrier, miniature pinscher, pug and Yorkshire terrier , which shared the 8th most popular spot along with the soft-coated Wheaten terrier.
This year, the kennel club added three new breeds - the bluetick coonhound, Boykin spaniel and redbone coonhound - to its list of registered breeds, bringing the number up to 164. The three breeds become eligible for full AKC registration and competition in their respective groups at shows on and after Dec. 30.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is now set to star as Charley Pride in a biopic, Pride said in a late April interview with the New Brunswick Telegraph Journal.
Johnson is rumored to also be serving as co-producer on the film, which has no planned release date. Originally, Terrence Howard was to play Pride in a movie directed by Craig Brewer (Hustle & Flow). According to Variety, Johnson's co-producers include Dany Garcia, Randy Jackson and Pride's manager, John Daines.
Pride's camp has no comment on the pairing and will not confirm that any deal has been made, though a Johnson representative told the Dallas Observer, "Yup – we can confirm his attachment."

Series: The Meaning of mîn in the Hebrew Old Testament (3 entries)
The related ideas of the "fixity of species" and "natural kinds" have been prominent in the science and faith conversation. Some Christians take Genesis to mean that God created (bara) fixed species (mîn). But does the text truly indicate such a concept? Biblical scholar Dr. Richard Hess looks at the Biblical context and meaning of the Hebrew mîn, and suggests that when Christians use it to frame our understanding of the entire created order, we may be asking too much of this single word.

Alfonso Martin named TBII Artistic Manager
Dec 1, 2012 in General News
November 30, 2012 - Tulsa Ballet Principal Dancer Alfonso Martin will be joining the Tulsa Ballet Artistic Staff for the 2013-2014 season. Mr. Martin has had a long career as a dancer for Tulsa Ballet, and after his retirement at the end of the current season, he will be assuming the responsibility of Tulsa Ballet II Artistic Manager.
Martin has already begun working with the TBII dancers in setting a new work by Resident Choreographer Ma Cong.
Artistic Director Marcello Angelini said, "Alfonso is the perfect individual to assume the reins of Tulsa Ballet II. He has been dancing with Tulsa Ballet for fourteen years, ten of which were spent as Principal Dancer. As a dancer, he embodied the professional standards of our company, both on stage and off, the artistic and technical range required of our dancers, the drive and passion for our art form that leads to individual and team success and the human values we expect from our artists. He is now ready to pass on his experience to present and future Tulsa Ballet dancers.
"The mission of Tulsa Ballet II is to recruit and coach the next generation of company dancers, so that our second company becomes the primary recruiting ground for our main company. I have no doubt that we will achieve our mission and primary goal in short order with Mr. Martin in charge of this ensemble," said Angelini.

Artfully printed clothes were key players on the spring '14 runways. Big-shot fashion houses, like Céline, Chanel, Dior, and Prada, led the parade of abstract patterns and painterly concoctions. And, quirky London-based designers, like Mary Katrantzou and Peter Pilotto, amped up their signature print play to the max. Sure, we oohed and ahhed through the shows last September, but we're even more excited now that these styles are finally for sale.
Great news: This fine-art approach to dressing isn't just for the fashion elite. Sure, our favorite celebrities and street-style mavens have already been donning these looks, but now you can, too. Draw inspiration from Freida Pinto, Olivia Palermo, and Lena Dunham for unique ways to interpret the trend for your closet.

How long should a clone of Gulden Draak be aged before comparing it to the real stuff? Our club is trying to get our clone recipe as close as possible, so want to tweak the recipe to get it closer to Gulden Draak if there are significant differences. We want to minimize the chance that the differences are due to our clone being too "green" when we make the comparison. Also, should we age it longer in the carboy vs. in the bottles? The current plan is 14 days of primary, 14 days of secondary, then prime, bottle, and condition for 60-90 days.

There is not a rule for how long to age a beer other than "until it's ready to drink". You have to determine that yourself. Most Belgian breweries don't age the beer long. According to "Brew Like a Monk", a few weeks is the average.

New PipeWorx FieldPro™ System Brings Simplified Multiprocess Welding Capabilities to Onsite Pipe Welding Applications
New welding system brings proven PipeWorx pipe welding processes to portable field applications to improve productivity, uptime and quality.
Miller Electric Mfg. Co. introduces the new PipeWorx FieldPro™ System for onsite pipe welding in the refinery, petrochemical, power generation and HVAC industries. The system comes with traditional Stick, TIG, MIG and Flux-Cored processes, and can run the advanced Regulated Metal Deposition (RMD®) and Pulsed MIG processes with the addition of the FieldPro Smart Feeder. The PipeWorx FieldPro System also brings advanced remote control capabilities to the welder at the joint, eliminating travel to and from the power source, optimizing uptime, simplifying process changeover and helping to improve overall weld quality and productivity. The system simplifies cable management by eliminating all of the communication cables that cause clutter and hassle on the job sites. Controls are labeled in common welder terminology to make it simple and intuitive to use.
The system takes the ease-of-use and advanced welding arc quality of the PipeWorx Welding System, common in fabrication shop environments, and brings these capabilities to the field for the first time. It is constructed to withstand the rigors of field use, including features such as a metal roll cage for the power source, impact-resistant cases for the feeders and remote, and protected circuit boards. The portable power source, remote and feeders make this an extremely powerful pipe welding system.
Full remote control over Stick and TIG welding
The PipeWorx FieldPro System provides Stick and TIG performance optimized for open root pipe welding in the field. The Stick and TIG processes have been programmed to prevent arc strikes outside of the heat–affected zone that leave marks on the pipe, which is a common pipe weld flaw, while TIG starts are designed to prevent damage to the prepared edge of the joint.
What sets this new system apart is the complete remote Stick and TIG control capabilities provided by the new FieldPro Remote. Connected in line with the electrode holder or the TIG torch with standard welding cables, this new remote gives users full control at the weld joint, including process selection, amperage adjustment and Stick electrode selection. The remote automatically sets the polarity based on the process selected and alerts operators if the weld cables are connected incorrectly, which helps to prevent defects associated with welding in the wrong polarity. This can all be accomplished hundreds of feet away from the power source, helping to improve productivity, reducing possible weld defects, and improving safety by minimizing trips back and forth to the power source.
Productivity and quality demands drive need for advanced MIG processes
The new PipeWorx FieldPro System is compatible with two wire feeder options: the FieldPro Feeder and the FieldPro Smart Feeder. The FieldPro Feeder allows for conventional MIG and Flux-Cored welding processes, while the FieldPro Smart Feeder allows for the technologies of RMD and Pulsed MIG processes in addition to standard MIG and Flux-Cored processes. RMD, offered here for the first time without a control cable, has proven to improve quality and productivity significantly over more traditional Stick and TIG processes in root passes, while Flux-Cored and Pulsed MIG offer the same advantages on hot and cover passes.
Both feeders connect easily to the weld lead and are operable hundreds of feet from the power source — more than twice the distance as previously possible. This includes full remote control capabilities, such as process selection, material type and wire diameter, gas type, wire feed speed and voltage. Set up and operation is easy; the PipeWorx 350 FieldPro Power Source automatically shifts all controls to the feeder when connected, eliminating confusion and hassle with cords and controls. Having complete control at the point of the weld joint helps ensure quality and productivity, and also increases safety as it limits the amount of time operators spend traveling between the work site and the power source, and with it opportunity for trips, slips and falls.
The FieldPro Smart Feeder further simplifies setup with built-in default parameters and synergic controls that automatically optimize weld parameters based on: wire feed speed.
Additional Benefits
Weld processes with the PipeWorx FieldPro System are easily saved through memory cards, helping to ensure process and parameter consistency. This same memory card feature also allows for easy electronic upgrades to the system that can be downloaded from MillerWelds.com.

All Federal agencies provide Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). An EAP is a voluntary, work-based program that offers free and confidential assessments, short-term counseling, referrals, and follow-up services to employees who have personal and/or work-related problems. EAPs address a broad and complex body of issues affecting mental and emotional well-being, such as alcohol and other substance abuse, stress, grief, family problems, and psychological disorders. EAP counselors also work in a consultative role with managers and supervisors to address employee and organizational challenges and needs. Many EAPs are active in helping organizations prevent and cope with workplace violence, trauma, and other emergency response situations.
Several legislative initiatives have shaped guidance and implementation of Employee Assistance Programs in the Federal Government. The Office of Personnel Management is charged through these legislative initiatives to provide overall guidance to Federal agencies, creating baseline expectations for agency programs and helping agencies implement those programs as effectively as possible.
The Employee Health Services Handbook's Chapter on Administering Employee Assistance Programs, written in collaboration with the Department of Heatlh & Human Services, offers policy guidance to assist agency management and program administrators in implementing successful Employee Assistance Programs.
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) provides policy guidance and technical assistance to agencies in establishing and improving EAPs. In the development and implementation of EAPs, OPM works closely with the Department of Health and Human Services.
The Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Federal Occupational Health (FOH) provides professional consultation and technical assistance to agencies in the development and oversight of EAP programs and delivers comprehensive EAP services to agencies through interagency agreements. Federal professionals monitor and evaluate the delivery of program services and provide quality assurance that employee and agency needs are being met. HHS' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) provides assistance to agencies on facilitating and extending programs for the prevention of drug abuse and for the treatment and rehabilitation of drug abusers. In terms of the Drug-Free Federal Workplace Program, SAMHSA is responsible for enforcing the Mandatory Guidelines on Drug Testing and coordinating the review of agency drug plans under E.O. 12564. SAMHSA also provides technical assistance to Federal agencies on drug testing, medical review, laboratory certification, and overall drug program implementation. SAMHSA compiles the Semi-Annual Report on Drug Testing.
Individual Federal Agencies Responsibilities
Title 5 U.S.C. 7901, Public Law 79-658 enables each agency to establish a health service program to promote and maintain the physical and mental fitness of employees.
Counseling programs for Federal civilian employees who have substance abuse problems are required by:
Public Law 99-570 (5 U.S.C. §§7361 and 7362), The Federal Employee Substance Abuse Education and Treatment Act of 1986, and title 5 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 792, requires Federal agencies to establish appropriate prevention, treatment, and rehabilitative programs and services for alcohol and drug abuse problems for Federal civilian employees.
Public Laws 96-180 and 96-181 authorize your agency to extend counseling services, to the extent feasible, to family members of employees who have alcohol and drug problems, and to employees with family members who have substance abuse problems.
Public Law 79-658 authorizes the head of agency to establish health services programs for employees, also forms the basis for expanding counseling programs from those dealing solely with substance abuse to broad range programs which provide counseling for other personal problems, e.g., family, financial, marital, etc.
Executive Order 12564 requires your agency to establish a drug-free Federal workplace program, including an EAP as an essential element in achieving a drug-free workforce. Your agency must refer all employees found to use illegal drugs to the EAP for assessment, counseling, and referral for appropriate 'treatment or rehabilitation.
The Federal EAPs: Guiding Principles, Frameworks, and Definitions is the product of the 2008 Federal Employee Assistance Program Summit. Developed as a guide, rather than a requirement, for Federal EAP Administrators and other stakeholders, the information provided is based on participants' knowledge of best practices in the EAP field, as well as their own experience and understanding of EAP in Federal workplaces, and is intended to address the ways in which these programs can best meet mental and behavioral health needs of the Federal workforce.
Back to Top
Every agency provides EAP services to its employees at no cost. These programs are staffed by certified counselors who are available to discuss problems in a confidential, helpful manner.
Laws and policies that affect EAP Confidentiality
Following are the most frequently asked questions about the confidentiality of EAP records. To find more FAQs on EAP and Work/Life, please visit to Work/Life FAQs.
Most agencies have issued internal policy about their EAPs which assures that no matter what an employee's problem is, it will remain confidential.
We encourage you to contact your agency's EAP administrator for more information. You can find contact information for your EAP administrator through our Agency POC Contact Tool. You may also wish to contact your local Human Resources office for more information about your agency's EAP.

The use of illegal drugs by Federal employees, whether on or off the job, cannot be tolerated. Employees who use illegal drugs have three to four times more accidents while at work. Federal workers have a right to a safe and secure workplace, and all American citizens who depend on the work of the Federal government for their health, safety, and security have a right to a reliable and productive Federal workforce. In pursuit of this effort, the Office of Personnel Management in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services developed "Alcoholism in the Workplace: A Handbook for Supervisors" to foster a better awareness in supervisors, managers, and human resource personnel of issues surrounding alcohol abuse, especially as it relates to the Federal workforce.
Since 1986, the Federal government has mandated a comprehensive drug-free workplace program for all Federal Executive Branch workers. Executive Order 12564 (Drug-Free Federal Workplace, 1986) established a condition of employment for all Federal employees to refrain from using illegal drugs on or off-duty. This comprehensive approach includes the following five components:
Another agency is the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA) which is a part of the Department of Health and Human Services. They provide excellent guidance on through their Division of Workplace Programs. In particular, SAMHSA has developed a Model Plan for a Comprehensive Drug-free Workplace Program which may be helpful to agencies as they implement and improve their programs.
Several Federal agencies are involved in the Drug-Free Workplace effort. One of these is the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. They have several resources available, including How Illicit Drug Use Affects Business and the Economy.
Launched in February 2003, Ready is a national public service advertising (PSA) campaign designed to educate and empower Americans to prepare for and respond to emergencies including natural and man-made disasters. The goal of the campaign is to get the public involved and ultimately to increase the level of basic preparedness across the nation. We encourage Federal managers and employees to review the information available on Ready in preparation for and response to emergency situations.
Emergencies, disasters, and other traumatic events are often unpredictable. They can strike anyone, anytime, and anywhere. You and your employees could be forced to respond to an emergencies when you least expect it. Familiarizing yourself with your agency's emergency action plan, as well as resources available to assist employees before, during and after an emergency, is helpful if you encounter an emergency situation.
After incidents, such as workplace assaults, unnatural deaths, and natural disasters, employees may experience a deterioration of job performance, personality change, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, co-worker conflicts, grief reactions, and depression. Each agency's Employee Assistance Program has professionals with expertise in helping employees, managers, and teams overcome these issues through developing techniques and plans for coping with stress, facilitating group debriefing sessions after traumatic events, identifying and referring employees to professional and community resources, and other recovery techniques.
On April 18, 2012, President Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum regarding the review of policies addressing domestic violence in the federal workplace. The memo stated that despite considerable progress made since the initial passage of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994, domestic violence remains a significant problem in our society. The memorandum specifically directs agencies to send any existing agency-specific policies and practices for addressing the effects of domestic violence in the workplace to OPM. Upon receipt and review of the policies and practices, OPM, in consultation with other agencies and experts in domestic violence, issued the Guide for Agency-Specific Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Policies and the Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Resource List.
Mental disorders are common in the United States, and in a given year approximately a quarter of adults are diagnosable for one or more disorders.
Mental health is an important issue in the workplace. It is a state of well-being in which an individual achieves his or her own potential, copes effectively with the normal challenges of life, and is able to work more efficiently and productively. To support Federal efforts, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and U.S. Department of Health & Human Service's Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration released a memorandum to Heads of Executive Department and Agencies, highlighting the importance of ensuring the workforce has access to the appropriate resources. The memorandum also included fact sheets for supervisors and employees. The fact sheets highlight key resources to increase awareness and access to services when needed. Below are links to the memorandum and fact sheets.
Since Employee Assistance Program (EAP) personnel are involved in the initial assessment of conditions and treatment referrals, they play a vital role in achieving healthy outcomes for Federal employees and their families. There are a number of strategies agencies can pursue to support employees' mental health:
An essential role of Federal agency Work/Life and EAP coordinators involves reducing the stigma associated with mental illness. You may have an excellent EAP program; however, the stigma associated with mental health treatment may be great enough to discourage your agency's employees from seeking assistance. Nearly two-thirds of all people with diagnosable mental disorders do not seek treatment.
For more information, we encourage you to review the Department of Health & Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Developing a Stigma Reduction Initiative.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration has developed several FREE, useful guides for professionals and the general public. Federal Work/Life coordinators, EAP administers, and employees are encouraged to utilize these materials when addressing issues regarding mental health.
The National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health's Stress at Work website offers knowledge about the causes of stress at work and outlines steps that can be taken to prevent job stress.
The National Institute of Mental Health is the lead Federal agency for research on mental and behavioral disorders. Here you can find a vast about of information regarding mental health, as well as current and past research initiatives.

Football Honesty Not Always The Best Policy
17 comments
Jermain Defoe gave Harry Kane some nonsensical advice recently, so let's all laug... Actually, so much of football is played in the head. This is all a big confidence trick...
All Articles
There are some people that simply cannot be trusted under any circumstances. Greet with suspicion any politician that tells you they think your team's sure to win, furrow your brow at any prospective owner that, while not having any particular interest in football, insists he is the man to take your club back to the glory days, and raise an eyebrow at any pundit who plays golf with the manager of the team they're meant to be criticising. To this list can be added football managers who claim to have a 'philosophy', and that means we need to talk about Brendan Rodgers.
Rodgers, incidentally, has actually claimed to have plural 'philosophies', but we'll stick with the singular for two reasons. First, it's handier for the writing. Secondly, we can be fairly sure that Rodgers views all his constituent 'philosophies' as cohering into one overarching super-'philosophy', like that bit at the end of the Power Rangers where all their Dinozords stand on one another's head and become a larger and more terrifying Megazord.
To pre-empt an obvious complaint early, this is not - repeat, not - to say that Rodgers is a bad manager. He was very good at Swansea and pretty decent at Watford, which works out as a generally positive scorecard even allowing for the bobbins at Reading. Too early to tell at Liverpool, of course, though while they may not have all that many actual points, as such, there is at least a vague sense that points are being collected in a better way to previous regimes.
When a manager tells you he has a 'philosophy', what are they saying? They are saying 'I have a clearly defined way that I think football should be played'. Often, said 'philosophy' will cleave to one or other of those vague bromides that make up the 'right' way of playing football: lots of young players, perhaps, or a minimum of percentage-chasing hoofs. The distinction is with those managers that don't have such distinct preferences, that instead adapt their own selves and their teams to the tools available. In itself, perhaps it's a useful line to be able to draw: the systematic vs. the pragmatic; the fixed vs. the flexible. Neither is inherently superior; that's a question of circumstance.
Now, philosophy the subject, the intellectual discipline, is a process, and it works like this. First, take one fundamental question of human existence. Then publish a slim volume outlining (i) why all previous attempts to answer this question are the work of charlatans, sophists, and morons, and (ii) why your attempt to answer this question, though it may appear on the surface to simply be a minor variation on that of some charlatan, sophist, or moron, is in fact a profound and fundamental insight into the inner workings of the universe. Finally, embark on a series of closely argued and vicious debates with the aforementioned charlatans, sophists and morons - if you're good, these can last an entire career - pausing occasionally to lament and wonder at the fact that nobody's all that interested in philosophy anymore.
But outside of the dusty bickering cloisters, it's a word that has been enthusiastically embraced by everybody from hot drink salespeople ("our philosophy is to use tea as a treatment") to jeans salespeople ("the official Be Stupid philosophy"). It's become a noun with cachet. With oomph. After all, a 'thought' is a mundane thing that happens to almost everybody, and an 'idea' just two or more thoughts joined together. A 'plan' is prosaic, a 'preference' is vague, and a 'strategy' sounds bland and faintly fascist. But a 'philosophy'? Woof! How could you not respect one of those?
There's the problem: the term's too loaded. It's both an assertion of the inherent superiority of the idea, and a demand to be admired for having an idea so inherently superior. You know that I am thinking, therefore I am, as Descartes was far too self-secure to conclude. It's nothing more than an exercise in public relations. For while ideas can't really be put in a cage and made to pound seven shades out of one another, footballers, and the 'philosophies' that their managers purport to have, are tested against one another as a matter of course. If you can't keep the ball out of your net and get it into theirs, then not only will your grandiloquent beliefs not save you, but you'll look even more foolish.
Chances are that Rodgers isn't doing this in a calculated manner; he is, after all, just a chilled-out entertainer. Yet that's how he comes across: like a man inflating the value of his own beliefs and thoughts, in the hope that this will serve to inflate his own reputation. A 'philosophy' comes with the lingering scent of snake-oil. For there never was a footballing 'philosophy' that boiled down to anything grander than 'we're going to try to score more than they are', and there never was a manager who survived not doing. Anybody that tells you differently is selling something.

Drafting a wide receiver is a necessary evil.
It's necessary because, as we saw in the Super Bowl and all throughout the playoffs, you need guys that can make plays for your quarterback. When you don't have those guys you're dead in the water. No matter what anyone says you can't get by with marginal talent and "savvy" at the position. You need play makers. On a 3rd & Short the coverage dictates Joe Flacco go one-on-one to the outside with Boldin and he throws up a 50/50 ball that Boldin comes down with. When the Giants win the Super Bowl against the Patriots last year, it's on a Mario Manningham catch that Eli Manning had no business throwing based on the coverage, but he trusted Manningham to make a play for him, and he did. When the Cardinals come back on the Steelers it's Larry Fitzgerald being ridiculous. And when the Steelers somehow come back on the Cardinals at the very end, it's a beautiful Santonio Holmes fingertip-to-toetip play in the end zone.
But it's also evil...because when you look at the straight percentages, it's flat out daunting. So many of the guys we're talking about and getting excited about will amount to NOTHING at the next level. It's just a fact of the draft. So because it's so inherently risky, teams try and take risk off the board any way they can. Being an incredible athlete from a size/speed standpoint takes risk off the board. A guy is usually going to be at least SOMETHING when he's an incredible athlete. But pure speed and agility also takes risk off the board because you know if you teach the guy right he's going to be able to separate.
What I'm getting at is Markus Wheaton with his pure speed and agility, both of which he showed at Oregon State and then he showed against higher caliber competition at the Senior Bowl, makes him a relatively safe guy. Not all guys with his speed and agility have had the chances he's had to show that he's a safe prospect, but one way or another he's gotten those chances and he's taken them...so I think of him as a relatively safe bet. And if he's a relatively safe bet then teams trying to take risk off the board are going to steer toward him, IMO.

titus young looked more rediculously explosive to me at the senior bowl than wheaton but that kid had a ton of skeletons in his closet which hurt him...i don't think wheatons gonna have the same issues...still there's a ton of underclassmen wrs who i think will be viewed higher than wheaton in nfl circles...i'd feel pretty confident he gets to #42 personally...
hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"
for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
I noticed with both Hopkins and Wheaton that each consistently gets behind the D, and each player's QB consistently under throws him. What I like, though, is that both fight back for the ball and often make contested catches. I think it's very easy for a young WR to get frustrated on plays like that. Easy to make a halfhearted attempt to break up an INT and say, "Man, I was open, but you were late on the throw." You don't get any of that with these guys. Both look to maximize each play. On Wheaton, you can see him ducking his head and fighting forward for a few extra yards.
---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------
I'm generally skeptical of wide receivers that make their living "getting behind defenses" and catching deeper passes, when they don't actually have much speed.
[QUOTE=ckparrothead;1064577302]After the Senior Bowl he had, I'm really not sure you can count on that.
Drafting a wide receiver is a necessary evil.
Doesn't this suggest that we might be better off going for a #1-type WR through trade/FA, or at least saving our high draft picks for surer positions? It seems like every year there are at least a couple star WR on the market. I have seen various studies on bust rates in the draft based on position, as well as studies of the impact of each position on team wins. What I haven't seen, and would love to see, is some integrated study between bust-rate ( or better yet, "%-star rate" ), average FA availability/cost, and impact to team wins for elite-level players per postiion. My hunch is that for QB, for instance, you pretty much have to draft one till you get one, because no position impacts the team more, and it's very rare you get a chance to land an elite one by other means. Offensive Guard, though, you probably can find them pretty regularly, and/or the average starting guard isn't that much worse than the best one from a team wins perspective. My guess is WR is somewhere in between.
I warn you, it's not pretty...

The incidence of eating disorders is rising and is thought to involve a complex inter-relationship between society's ideals of beauty, childhood psychological trauma, genetics, and family dynamics. These disorders may result in a range of consequences — from mild disturbance in daily functioning to complete disability and even death.
The acts of binge eating, purging, excessive exercising, or food restrictions may be an unconscious effort to control and cope with internal sources of conflict and stress. The onset of an eating disorder can be triggered by sudden stressful life changes, such as personal loss or illness. Other psychological disorders, such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance abuse and addictions are also often associated.
The first and most important step toward treatment is acknowledging you have a problem. This is often the most difficult step. Initially, an eating disorder may be denied and kept secret due to feelings of shame or a perception that no one will understand their feelings and/or behaviors. By the time it becomes severe and undeniably evident, daily life has become unbearable and many of the medical complications have set in.
Though many treatment modalities exist, there isn't a definitive standard treatment protocol that is right for everyone.

From October, 2008Ā a landlordĀhas to provide a prospective tenant with a copy of the certificate whenever the property is marketed as available for rent.Ā A copy of the certificate will need to be issued to any prospective tenant.Ā Visit the government website for landlord responsabilities.Ā The certificate will make suggestions of cost effective actions to improve the energy performance of a property, but more importantly will allow prospective tenants to compare buildings on energy performance. ĀThis will be of interest to tenants who may need to consider the running costs of the home.
The cost of producing the certificate will be the property owner's responsibility. Each certificate will last for ten years but owners can voluntarily get a new certificate after installation of energy efficiency measures - particularly if these improve the energy rating.
The certificate will give each building a SAP rating, and this will equate to an energy rating from A to G similar to those seen on white goods.
EPCs can only be produced by accredited energy assessors. They may be employed by a company (such as an estate agent or energy company) or be independent traders. Always check they operate as part of an accreditation scheme, as this ensures your energy assessor is operating to professional standards.
