Hello all,
Little bit of a strange request/subject and I didnt know where to put it but I really need your help.
I am currently doing an online Basketball GM and Scouting course and the assigment I just did was to scout 3 future draft picks...........now the problem is that it is impossible for me to see college games and I have seen about 3 in the last 10 years so lets just say my knowledge and ability to asses these guys fully is a little limited.
With that, I made my choices from Chad Fords "Whos Hot" list, these being DeAndre Jordan and DJ Augustine and did one on Tyler Hansbrough (as draftexpress.com has him as the Warriors No. 20 pick, so I thought I would take a look at him).
I did well, and my report was well received and graded, mostly due to the fact that we have access to a site that has examples of play types from every player in the country (as well as the fact that Im great! lol), you can literally ask for every example of a Pick and Roll with a guy and it gives you the video!! amazing and Im lucky to have access as its what the pro's use and it costs $75,000 per year to use!
However, a guy commented that Jordan and Augustine were on Chad Ford's list and as such Im a little worried that they may think Im just going for the "expert" picks..........which is what I WAS doing but atleast it wasnt Beasley, Mayo, Gordon and the like.
So with all this rambling in mind, I would really appreciate it if you could guys could drop me some names of promising college guys that arnt on the radar/the latest short list, from being able to watch games and hear the grape vine and stuff...........so I can do my next scouting report on them and not look like Im scouting the "in" guys to make myself look good.
So far the other guys have done, Kenny George, Ty Lawson, OJ Mayo, Chase Budinger, Brook Lopez.
Thanks alot in advance and I will really appreciate your help and look forward to your input.
Ps: Ill PM any of you my report if you want to take a look and let me know what you think, again, Id appreciate the feedback for you guys.
Can I call upon my Warrior bretheren for help?

Sure. I'll help any way I can. Keep in mind that I'm just an amateur, and probably a (slightly) biased one...

i think he's gonna be a first rounder...might be a little of my bias in my opinion considering he is one of my friends, but as far as talent goes i think he could definitely be at LEAST a late first rounder. he's actually projected as one of the top 10 big men expected to enter this upcoming draft. but of course the PAC 10 isnt exactly known for its big men. it would be great to see DeVon in a warrior uniform tho. id buy it as soon as it hit the store, assuming he couldnt hook me up

The mobile defender gave the Americans a 2-1 lead when he cut to the net and buried a backhand off a nice feed from John Gaudreau at 5:10 of the opening period.
McCabe, who saw the majority of his even-strength time with Seth Jones ('13), would later make a neutral zone pass to earn a secondary assist on Gaudreau's power play goal at 4:55 of the second period.
The victory gives the USA a third place finish in Group B. Their next opponent will be known after the completion of Group A's final round robin match between Finland and Sweden.

SPLAT: Adventures in Youth Programming
Authored by: Rachel Baerg on February 3, 2010
February has arrived… and so has the really cold weather! Remember, a frigid February day is the perfect opportunity to come and warm up in our galleries. We've got a number of fantastic exhibitions on view during the next couple of months, including an exhibition highlighting the work of Canadian encaustic artist Tony Scherman, who creates paintings with mixed color pigments and hot dripping wax. Our on-going exhibition The Permanent Collection on View showcases an impressive selection of coveted treasures from our collection, including paintings, sculpture, decorative arts, and furniture. Also not to be missed in our current line-up of exhibitions is Delicate Beauty: The Ruby Ashdown Porcelain Collection, featuring beautiful dishes and fancy chinaware that get you right in the mood for a cuppa' hot chocolate. Finally, if you need to chill out after all that, check out the work of Arctic photographer Richard Harrington located in the mezzanine gallery.
We can hardly wait to present our big block-buster exhibition, The Art of Warner Bros. Cartoons, which opens on March 5! Don't forget to mark your calendars for our Warner Bros. Family Sunday on March 14. You definitely won't want to miss it! Activities will begin at 1:30 and run until 4pm. Admission is just $10 for your whole family (that covers 2 adults and up to 4 kids under 18!). And on April 3 you can come to our pancake breakfast in your pyjamas! What fun is that! Stay looney tuned for more details in our March SPLAT!!
February Mystery Masterpiece
How good are your eyes? Have you been to the Gallery lately? Take a look at the image at the top of the page. Can you figure out what this detail actually is? Do you remember which work of art it is from? If not, you might want to come in and find out.
Kid's Art Pick Of The Month
Kids of all ages really love the painting by Etienne Adolphe Piot entitled Italian Apple Girl in gallery 3. Not only do the eyes of the girl follow anyone walking by the painting, but the expression on her face is rather mischievous. The painting reminds many kids of the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Remember when the witch disguises herself as a nice old lady and gives Snow White the poisonous apple? Come and check out the Italian Apple Girl for yourself and see what you think.
Quirky Quotes About Art
We love hearing student responses to their visit to the Gallery with our tour guides. A 7-year-old boy was here with his class for one of our interactive school tours called Another Time, Another Place. When he was shown an Egyptian painting and asked what he would do if he could climb into the picture, he immediately blurted out "I would dress up as a mummy and scare lots of people!"
Family Challenge Of The Month
Bring your family and friends to the Gallery soon and find a collection of different sculpted figures at the top of the stairs in the Skylight Lounge. Choose a sculpture that you really like and make a rough sketch of it on a piece of paper. Then, when you're back at home, call a couple of adventurous friends or family members to help you create your own gallery-inspired figure out of snow. That's right—this is your chance to create your very own snow sculpture. Won't your neighbors be impressed! Make it as big or as small as you like. When you are finished, take a photo and e-mail it to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will post it on our website. We can hardly wait to see what you come up with!
Birthday Parties
By the way, did you know we offer awesome birthday parties for kids 4-12? Happy birthday to Sabrina, age 10, who pARTied in the Gallery on her special day in January. Thank you for celebrating with us at the WAG!!
See you all at the Gallery this February! Rachel & Aline

Let's start with the petty stuff. The wax used on this bottle is annoying. It is hard almost plastic like and difficult to remove. Beneath this wax is... a screw top. Really?? Don't get me wrong, I am good with screw tops, but then lose the wax.
The rich dark honey brown color is beautiful. The nose has a definite alcohol part, but not anything more than you expect from something of this proof. There is hints of something sweet, as well as vanilla and just a hint a caramel.
Mouth feel is a little thin, but the taste isn't. Black pepper, clove and just a hint of wintergreen mint is what you notice first before it settles in with some corn flavors mixed with rye and finally a very strong wood flavor comes on and the wood ultimately dominates your senses.
Finish is long with more rye taste and more woody flavor, almost pulp like and just a bit of sweetness and mint. Not at all hot, as a matter fact it was surprisingly soft for something of this proof.
A dash of water doesn't hurt and actually helps bring out some more flavor. However, add too much water, or add ice and you lose most everything but the taste of wood and alcohol.
Overall, it is a good pour, but there is just a little something keeps me from saying great.
There seems to be a LOT of variation in this brand. The bottle I had was rather corny and hot showing little of its age. Not bad, but certainly not worth the $35 I paid for it.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
-Agent Kay
I think I amleaning towards agreeing with you in it not being worth the price. There is just something there that bugs me, and I can't quite puy my finger on it. On one hand, there is definitely a lot of wood in the taste, but it doesn't taste as "old" as I would expect it. In that regard it almost reminds me of Devil's Cut.
Then there is that toothpaste-ish mintiness to it. It was that minty taste that turned me off to Heaven Hill, but the wood flavors help in this case keep it more subdued and in the background. So it makes seem almost like am Evan Williams version of Devil's Cut. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing... But not for $35 a bottle.
As I ponder the possibility that this is a Heaven Hill distillate, I must ask for those that may have had both... How does the Pure Kentucky XO compare with Elijah Craig 12 Year old? Is it just a higher proof expression of the same whiskey?
I have to agree with most on this thread. This bourbon just isn't for me. It is too woody and has too much spice for my pallet especially since I'm a wheater fan. This bourbon has now been moved to the kitchen cabinet to be used to cook with. JayMonster I would say hands down that the EC 12 is better than the PK XO.

Rhubarb tips:
Rhubarb leaves contain toxins and should never be eaten.
Older stalks on a plant may be woody. Choose younger ones.
When buying rhubarb, choose redder stalks for a more striking pink color in a pie or sauce. If flavor alone is what matters, either green or red stalks are fine. Its a misconception that red stalks are sweeter, gardening expert Charlie Nardozzi said. (Green-stalked) Victoria has a nice sweet flavor.
Dont pick when the plant is wet and pull the stalks, dont cut them, said rhubarb baker Jessica Gaudette. Grasp the stalk near its base and tug. That thins the plant and does not leave a cut surface behind.
To learn more: The Internet offers many sources for information about cultivating and cooking with rhubarb. Among the most helpful:
www.rhubarbinfo.com includes a guide to varieties, instructions on dividing rhubarb, a discussion of the plants history and links to other sites.
www.rhubarb-central.com provides dozens of recipes for using rhubarb in baking, preserves and cooking.
www.marthastewart.com/food offers nearly four dozen beautifully presented rhubarb recipes. Click on seasonal produce recipes in the left-hand column, then on rhubarb.

You will not find a more urban Vermonter than I, raised inside the city limits of Burlington, settled for the last 30 years on a city street as close-packed as a rugby scrum.
So why has rhubarb, that plant of farmyards and rural kitchens, burgeoned in the backyard of every home Ive occupied? Why do I anticipate those green-and-red stalks of spring as if they were a birthday gift?
And why has the culinary world recently jumped on the rhubarb bandwagon, converting a homely pie ingredient into a star in such haute dishes as goat cheese panna cotta, roasted pork belly with rhubarb compote and rhubarb mousse?
Rhubarb brings balance and brightness, said Steve Atkins, chef-owner of Richmonds Kitchen Table Bistro, who uses rhubarb with caramelized garlic and onions to accompany his all-day roasted pork shoulder. It tastes like spring and we really need that reminder these days.
People are taking more notice of what is growing around them, offered Max MacKinnon of Pistou in Burlington, where rhubarb can appear as a savory condiment as well as a dessert. Theres more interest in new or rediscovered ingredients ... Rhubarb brings a nice acidity to brighten up a dish.
Rhubarb also plays into our new obsession with local, seasonal food. Asked where he obtains his rhubarb, Atkins said, Im looking out the window. When his own patch is insufficient, he drives down the road to a farm stand.
MacKinnons rhubarb comes from his mothers plants. At August First, the Burlington bakery, co-owner Phil Merrick said an ample supply walks in the door.
He puts out the word hes looking for rhubarb, and customers bring in armloads to trade for a gift card, or they just drop it and run, Merrick said.
He turns the bounty into rhubarb crumble baked on big sheet pans. We dont make it real sweet, he said. You want that tart rhubarb flavor to come through most recipes call for three times as much sugar as you need.
Easy as pie
In my own case, I wish I could say my appreciation was the result of a superior palate or talent in the kitchen.
No such luck.
Laziness, and a preference for sweets that are balanced by tartness, explain why I love rhubarb and why I believe it belongs in the garden of every home baker.
Consider: Once established, a rhubarb plant needs virtually no tending beyond a good feeding of fertilizer and plenty of water each year. No fruit is easier to prepare.
Pull a stalk, wash, chop and youre ready to bake: yes, rhubarb pie, but also rhubarb cake, rhubarb crisp, rhubarb muffins and my very favorite treat, rhubarb maple bread pudding.
Dont feel like baking? Put some chopped rhubarb in a saucepan a non-reactive stainless or enamel one, because of rhubarbs acidity. Add sugar, cook briefly and you have a tart, delicious sauce for ice cream or pound cake or to add to a morning fruit smoothie. Use maple syrup instead of sugar as the sweetener and you have an entirely localvore rhubarb sauce.
No fruit is easier to preserve. Pull some stalks, chop, put in bags and drop in the freezer. Elapsed time: 10 minutes.
'I love rhubarb'
Still, after 40 years baking with rhubarb, I remain an amateur.
My go-to dessert, Grannys Rhubarb Cake (named for a friends Texas grandmother who put one on the table every night during rhubarb season) has a tendency to remain under-baked in the middle. All that rhubarb in the freezer? I still am not sure the best way to bake with it thaw first, or leave frozen?
This year, on the cusp of rhubarb season, I turned to two expert Vermont cooks for help.
When it comes to practical rhubarb experience, it would be hard to beat Jessica Gaudette and her parents, Bill and Sara Kittell of Fairfield: Any family with 125 rhubarb plants in the backyard can speak with authority.
Oh God, I love rhubarb. Id eat it every day, Sara Kittell exclaimed when I called.
Rhubarb lemon pound cakes have been the star of Gaudettes farm stand, Black Creek Preserves, at the Burlington Farmers Market, since 1994. She has baked and sold 50 a week, along with a dozen of her mothers 9-inch rhubarb pies and 20 to 40 of the six-inch size.
Gaudettes rhubarb ginger jam (one of my biggest sellers) and rhubarb maple chutney (with or without cashews) round out her rhubarb repertory.
Black Creek Preserves wont be at the market this year. Gaudette this week bought a St. Albans kitchen store, As the Crow Flies, and is taking a market sabbatical while she establishes her new business. The womens pies and cakes will be available through the store, Gaudette said.
Gaudette had plenty of advice. She grows Victoria, a green-stemmed rhubarb variety, for its hardiness and superior flavor, but limits its use to concoctions in which some other ingredient will provide vibrant color.
It cooks up greeny-brown, not pretty, so we use it in strawberry pie where its color doesnt matter, she said. We use two less hardy hybrids, one medium red, one dark red for jam because they hold their color.
In the garden, my rhubarb tip is to pull the stalks, dont cut them. You pull from the bottom and you get the most fruit and it keeps the plant thinned out, she said.
For efficiency, Gaudette and Kittell do most of their harvesting in two or three swoops during the May-June season, picking 900 pounds of rhubarb and freezing more than two-thirds of it for later use. Friends and relatives pitch in, pulling stalks and whacking the rhubarb into pieces and measuring it into quart bags for freezing.
I actually prefer frozen rhubarb for cake, Gaudette said. It seems to make the cake more consistent because freezing has broken down the rhubarb fibers.
Using frozen rhubarb might solve my problem with the soggy-in-the-center cake, she said. If the fruit is frozen, the batter has a chance to firm up before the rhubarb releases all the liquid. (Putting the rhubarb in the bottom of the pan, rather than scattered on top of the batter, might also work, she suggested).
Gaudette also told me not to worry that frozen rhubarb will turn a pie crust soggy.
The more fat in the crust, the better, she said (a good rule for pie crust in any case). You put the fruit in frozen, and it hits that 400 degree oven and it really tightens up.
Gaudette declined to share her rhubarb lemon pound cake recipe, but said it is based on the pound cake in the original Moosewood cookbook, spiked with fresh lemon juice and an amount of rhubarb measured by weight.
We weigh everything now, she said, since dry measures of rhubarb can vary greatly depending on the size into which the stalks have been diced.
Sara Kittell, the family pie maker, uses a formula of 19 ounces of rhubarb just short of four cups, for those who lack a kitchen scale to a scant cup of sugar. (Like Merrick, the August First baker, Kittell finds most rhubarb recipes far too sweet.) Into a crust made with Vermont butter go the rhubarb, sugar, a bit of King Arthur flour to thicken the juice and a beaten egg additional binder.
With a store of the fruit in the freezer, Kittell uses rhubarb as the base for a rainbow of summer pies, reducing the rhubarb to 13 ounces and adding six ounces of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries or sliced apples.
Sometimes Ill add a little cinnamon, but I like to keep it plain, said Kittell, who retired this year after 17 years representing Franklin County as a state senator and hopes to turn her pie making into a serious business.
Rhubarb is the essence of spring, she said, explaining why she loves it. When she was growing up, one of nine Branon kids on the familys farm, rhubarb followed fresh maple syrup as a marker of the seasons advance.
Now, even with 125 plants outside the door, we never have enough rhubarb. Last year we ran out by Christmas, she said. I keep telling Bill and Jessica we need to plant more.

I herd rumors about Poirot being canceled before the last 6 books could be adapted so I emailed ITV asking and got this reply.
@ITV said: Dear Sir/Madam
Thank you for your email regarding 'Poirot'. We have a new film yet to be broadcast The Clocks which was produced last year and ITV is in active discussions about doing more.

I do hope you will continue to watch and enjoy many of our programmes.
May I take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to contact us here at ITV Viewer Services. If we can be of further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.

Asparagus is a harbinger of spring. Steam, roast or saute it, or combine it with leeks to make a seasonal tart.
- Filed Under
Coming off what feels like the longest winter ever, I can say with confidence we're all looking forward to spring, especially when it means that fresh seasonal produce will soon be arriving at farmers markets and grocery stores.
Asparagus is a well-known harbinger of the season, but there are other vegetables that signal the change, too. Foodies love ramps (a sort of cross between wild onions and garlic) and fiddleheads (baby ostrich ferns, just before they unfurl). But I'm not a fan. Both remind me of a biting wind on a raw spring day: cold, bitter and harsh. I prefer young spring vegetables ...

Dayton, OH – Sinclair Men's Tartan Pride basketball team opened their home Ohio Community College Athletic Conference season with a match-up from neighboring OCCAC school Edison CC.
The Tartan Pride were down by 9 going into half-time, 39-30. Sinclair shot only 29% from the field in the first half.
In the second half, The Pride mounted a comeback that would leave them down by 2 with two minutes remaining but could never close the gap. Edison would make some key free throws to take the 82-78 win.
Freshmen Darrien Wilkins (Princeton) led all scorers with 25 points. Mark Allen, Freshmen from Northwest High School, added 17.
The Tartan Pride moves to 14-5 overall and 1-2 in conference play. Sinclair will return to home action on Wednesday, January 26 as they take on Cincinnati State in Sinclair's Annual White Out Wednesday Game.
Game time is 7:30 PM in Sinclair's Physical Activities Center located in Building 8.

Iron is a mineral that is found in every living cell. Iron exists in two forms—heme and nonheme. Heme iron is part of the hemoglobin and myoglobin molecules in animal tissues. Nonheme iron comes from animal tissues other than hemoglobin and myoglobin and from plant tissues. Iron is found in meats, eggs, milk, vegetables, grains, and other plant foods. The body absorbs heme iron much more efficiently than nonheme iron. Much of the iron in our diet comes from foods, such as breads and cereals that are fortified with this mineral. Worldwide, iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of malnutrition.
Iron's functions include:
Iron needs are greatest during times of rapid growth—childhood, adolescence, and pregnancy. Also, women have higher requirements than men, to replace the iron that is lost with monthly menstruation.
Groups of people who are susceptible to being iron deficient are:
There are no symptoms of iron deficiency unless you become anemic. If not corrected, iron deficiency can progress to anemia. Symptoms of
Iron-deficiency anemia is usually treated by increasing iron intake through dietary sources and iron supplementation.
At high levels, iron is toxic. And since the body has no effective means of excreting excess iron, it is possible, although not common, for iron to build up. Iron pills and supplements containing iron that are designed for adults
can cause poisoning in children.
Symptoms of iron toxicity include:
People with the genetic disease hemochromatosis absorb excessive amounts of iron. This leads to a buildup of iron in the bloodstream and in certain organs, including the liver, muscles, pancreas, and heart. Signs and symptoms of disease usually do not appear until midlife. People of Northern European descent and men are at higher risk. Without treatment, high levels of iron can damage these organs. Treatment involves eating a diet low in iron and donating blood regularly.
Some research has suggested that excess levels of iron in the body may lead to an increased risk for heart disease or cancer. These effects may be due to how the body metabolizes iron, as opposed to how much iron is in the diet. However, the research in these areas is still inconclusive.
The amount of iron your body absorbs varies depending on several factors. For example, your body will absorb more iron from foods when your iron stores are low and will absorb less when stores are sufficient.
In addition, certain dietary factors affect absorption:
To increase your intake and absorption of dietary iron, try the following:

Detroit � On the long, long list of staggering Lions losses, add an all-time crusher. In a game of misses and miscues, the Ravens hit the big one, and the Lions dropped a huge one.
This could be impossible to overcome, because the Lions� playoffs hopes just got pummeled by the most improbable of plays. Baltimore�s Justin Tucker drilled a 61-yard field goal with 38 seconds left to silence a raucous crowd and beat the Lions 18-16 Monday night.
After misfiring much of the night, Matthew Stafford seemed to flip the painful script, firing a 14-yard touchdown pass to Joseph Fauria to take the lead. The defense was primed to end it, but then here came Tucker, nailing his sixth field goal � shy of the NFL record of 64 yards � and the gasp from the crowd was deafening. The Lions (7-7) aren�t out of the playoff chase but they�re in serious trouble, plummeting all the way to third in the NFC North.
Not many teams ever have lost like this, but for all the bizarre and unfortunate twists, the Lions put themselves here. Their best players didn�t come through, from Stafford�s continued erratic passing to Calvin Johnson�s damaging drops. After Tucker�s final kick, Stafford threw his third interception, and it was over.
Stafford let the Lions down, briefly picked them up, then let them down again. He wasn�t the only one, and Johnson�s two drops were drive-killers. But Stafford has been awful in this stretch of four losses in five games, throwing 10 interceptions. The repercussions are enormous, because this sure felt like a referendum on reputations, from coach Jim Schwartz to the quarterback to the whole current regime.
A month ago, the Lions were 6-3 and in prime playoff position with division foes Chicago and Green Bay missing injured quarterbacks. Now once again, they need help. Good luck, because this is a team that can�t help itself, and can�t stop destroying itself.
�Me personally, we just didn�t make the plays when they were there for us to make,� Johnson said. �We just let them get away. You can�t lay all the blame on (Stafford). It�s on us, it�s everybody.�
It�s on Schwartz too, whose job security officially is an issue. The Lions have two games remaining � home to the Giants, at the Vikings � and even if they win both, they still need the Bears and Packers to lose once.
This was the pivotal game, arguably the most-important Lions game ever in Ford Field. The Lions declared it a Blue Out and fans complied by dressing in blue, and hoping not to end up blue. From a Blue Out to another Blown Out opportunity, this is the shattered state of the team.
It starts with Stafford, who was throwing behind receivers and over receivers, and one interception came on an off-balance side-arm fling. He was 18 for 34 for 235 yards, and while the 80-yard drive for the go-ahead touchdown was impressive, it wasn�t enough.
Stafford looked shell-shocked at times, and his confidence is enough of a concern that Schwartz and others felt compelled to rally behind him.
�I like the character of our team, I like the toughness of our team, and I like our quarterback,� Schwartz said. �Our quarterback is gonna bounce back, and he�s gonna play great over these next two games.�
This was supposed to be the night for the Lions to cleanse themselves, to bathe in waves of blue and turn their season around against the defending Super Bowl champs. No more favors from Chicago and Green Bay, so if the Lions weren�t getting any more freebies, they wouldn�t be giving any more away, right?
Yeah, right.
Not sure if you�ve noticed, but things generally don�t go as planned with this team. The stadium was packed, the crowd was roaring and a national TV audience would get to see what the Lions were about. And that�s mostly what they saw � glimpses of the good Lions, more images of the bad Lions.
Tucker is a tremendous kicker, but it was still shocking that Ravens coach John Harbaugh elected to try the 61-yarder instead of going for the first down. Tucker drilled it just over the crossbar and barely inside the right upright.
�When it cleared the crossbar, I saw one of the officials put his hands up, and I would say I was little bit surprised,� Tucker said. �I�m just glad it went through.�
It�s hard to figure out how the Lions ended up there after a blistering start. Their first drive was effortless, a 78-yard march to Reggie Bush�s 14-yard touchdown run. Bush didn�t play last week because of an injured calf and looked especially energetic, as if shot out of a starting gate. It was exactly the opening they needed, followed by exactly the miscues they can�t ever seem to shake.
�I didn�t play my best game by any means,� Stafford said. �We put seven on the board, and for one reason or another the rest of that half, and even into the third quarter, it was tough for us to get a rhythm.�
Megatron misses
Johnson dropped a long pass on the second drive and dropped another late in the half. Each would�ve produced 25-plus yards and could�ve changed everything. By the time the first half ended, the stadium atmosphere had gone from festive to restive, from boisterous to boozy to simply boos-y.
Ravens rookie safety Matt Elam had created a mini-stir last week because, in the process of praising Johnson, he happened to mention the Lions� 28-year-old star was �pretty old.� Megatron hadn�t shown his age, but in this game he and others showed something else � big-stage jitters?
�I don�t think Calvin Johnson or Stafford would be jittery, it falls into human beings,� Schwartz said. �As much as we say �Megatron,� there�s still a human element to this game.�
The Lions didn�t get much help on a few key penalty calls (and non-calls), but they could�ve rendered it moot. There was a questionable pass interference on Don Carey, but also a dumb helmet hit by Louis Delmas on a defenseless receiver. This is what the Lions have done, squandering chances, and savvy quarterback Joe Flacco was determined to make them pay.
The Lions are paying painfully and repeatedly. More mistakes, more Stafford inaccuracy, more mistakes. It�s always darkest before the dawn, or bluest before the Blue Out. Right now, the Lions are staring into a black-and-blue abyss.

Griner, Diggins, Donne Top WNBA All-Star Vote Getters
Brittney Griner is thrilled to have a chance to play in her first WNBA All-Star game. The location makes it even more special.
"It means everything," Griner said. "Being here in Phoenix, playing in front of the home crowd, that's awesome."
Griner was among the starters in the Western Conference when the league unveiled the lineups for the July 19 game on Tuesday night. She will play alongside Mercury teammate Diana Taurasi, Tulsa's Skylar Diggins, Los Angeles' Candace Parker, and Minnesota's Maya Moore, who was the leading vote-getter.
"It's great to be honored and appreciated by so many people across the world and to want to continue to have my game match that appreciation and play well," Moore said.
Griner missed the All-Star game last season while she recovered from a left knee injury. Now she gets a chance to make her All-Star game debut when the WNBA holds the event in Phoenix for the second time.
The Mercury's 6-foot-8 star said she has something special planned for the game, but didn't want to give it away just yet.
She hopes fellow second-year player Elena Delle Donne will be able to join her in Phoenix. Delle Donne, who was the leading vote-getter in the Eastern Conference, has been sidelined with a flare-up of Lyme Disease and has only played once for Chicago in the past 10 games.
"It is really sad that she's dealing with this right now," Griner said of Delle Donne. "We all want her better. I hate that she's going to miss the All-Star game again."
Delle Donne missed last year's All-Star game when she suffered a concussion a few days before the contest.
"There are so many talented players in the league so just to be listed as an All-Star is an honor," Delle Donne said. "Our fans are incredible."
Joining the Chicago star in the Eastern Conference starting lineup are New York's Cappie Pondexter, Indiana's Tamika Catchings, and Atlanta's Shoni Schimmel and Angel McCoughtry.
Schimmel will become just the third reserve to start an All-Star game, according to STATS. Sue Wicks did it in 2000 and Ruthie Bolton in 2001. Neither started more than half their team's games that season.
Schimmel, who has started two games, is the third straight first-year player to be voted to start an All-Star game.
"For the fans to go out and vote, I definitely have to give it to them. For them to have my back and sit there and vote for me every day is just something they took pride in," Schimmel said. "They obviously want to see me in the game, so for them to do that means a lot to me."
Parker will be playing in her second All-Star game. She was selected in 2011, but was unable to play because of a knee injury.
"It means a lot," said Parker, who earned MVP honors at last year's game in Connecticut. "Obviously it's only my second game and early on I was injured and pregnant and all that jazz, so it's nice to be there and not be at home looking at it on the couch."
Parker was thrilled the game was being played in Phoenix instead of on the East Coast.
"I'm just happy it's not out East. I'm happy it's on the West Coast," she said. "It's an easy flight, like an hour from LA, so it's not too bad."
The All-Star reserves will be announced next Tuesday.

Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., told a forum in Washington on Nov. 8 that a massive deal with spending cuts, new revenues and entitlement program reforms could garner ample votes from both political parties to pass the Senate. (File)
- Filed Under
A comprehensive deal that would dramatically lower America's massive federal debt and stave off massive defense cuts would get 70 votes in the Senate, says a key member of that chamber's Budget Committee.
Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., told a forum in Washington on Nov. 8 that a massive deal with spending cuts, new revenues and entitlement program reforms could garner ample votes from both political parties to pass the Senate.
Lawmakers in coming months must pass a $1.2 trillion debt-reduction measure and extend some tax cuts, or the nation will plunge into a new recession, economists say.
What's more, shy of that kind of deal, twin $500 billion cuts to planned defense and domestic spending would kick in Jan. 2. Pentagon officials, lawmakers and analysts warn those defense cuts — made by cutting around 9 percent from a few non-exempt accounts — would harm national security.
Warner said there is enough support in both parties of his chamber to pass a deal that includes "spending cuts, revenues and entitlement reforms."
Congressional Republicans had for nearly two years voiced stern opposition to any new federal revenues, buoyed by the party's anti-tax stance. But that might be changing, at least while lawmakers and the Obama White House are negotiating a big debt deal.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Nov. 7 that his caucus is "willing to accept some revenues," but only under certain circumstances.
While Boehner sounds willing to talk about cutting a deal, it is clear Republicans and Democrats remain far apart on issues such as defense cuts.
In his remarks, the House speaker ruled them out of any deal his caucus would support. But Warner said some level of additional defense cuts are necessary to reach debt-reduction targets set by the 2011 Budget Control Act.
The former Virginia governor — and potential 2016 presidential candidate, some say — warned against Senate Democratic leaders pushing through legislation that would pass with "56 Democrats and six Republicans."
What's preferable to Warner and members of both parties who have been working in near-secret to begin building a comprehensive debt deal is a bill that passes with a nearly equal number of Republicans and Democrats, he said.
"This will have to be something where people on both sides," Warner said, "are mad about it."

KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN — An official said a suicide car bomber apparently aiming to hit a NATO-Afghan convoy near the southern city of Kandahar blew up early, killing at least three civilians.
Saturdays explosion occurred along a highway near the Kandahar airport.
Javid Faisal, a spokesman for the provincial governor, said it was unclear why the car bomber detonated his explosives early. He said the NATO and Afghan soldiers were all safe.
There were conflicting reports on the number of dead civilians some said four people died and how many were men, women or children. Several people also were wounded.
NATO officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Taliban are strong in southern Afghanistan, where the majority of people are Pashtuns, the ethnic group that dominates the militant movement.

Associated Press
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) - Prosecutors in the George Zimmerman trial are trying to introduce recordings of non-emergency calls he made to law enforcement to prove the former neighborhood watch leader is guilty of second-degree murder in shooting Trayvon Martin.
WEB EXTRA: Watch day 2 of the trial LIVE in the video player above. Court proceedings begin at 9am.
Prosecutors want to convince Judge Debra Nelson on Tuesday that a series of calls Zimmerman made to authorities about suspicious people in his Florida neighborhood in the months before the shooting indicate his state of mind that night.
State attorney John Guy said in his opening statement that Zimmerman thought Martin was one of the "punks" who "always get away" whom he'd observed previously in his neighborhood and called police about.
Defense attorneys objected to the introduction of the calls, saying they were being used in violation of evidence rules to show prior bad acts.

The flag of Indiana
- Filed Under
National traffic safety officials are urging states to reduce the amount of alcohol that folks can drink before getting behind the wheel - but don't look to Indiana lawmakers to get behind the idea anytime soon.
I remember when Indiana was one of the few remaining states with a legal blood-alcohol level for driving of 0.10 percent.
Sen. Tom Wyss, R-Fort Wayne, had been battling for years to reduce that level to 0.08 percent, a level experts had by then agreed meant impairment for almost everyone.
But despite testimony from the families of people killed by drunken drivers, despite Wyss' own tears over the issue, and despite pressure from federal officials, Indiana lawmakers just kept saying no.
By the time I started covering the General Assembly in 1996, Wyss' emotional campaign for 0.08 was legendary. In fact, one of my first Statehouse assignments for The Journal Gazette, the morning newspaper in Fort Wayne, was to write about whether Wyss had started to hurt his own bill's chance of passage.
I think it was true, although no one wanted to say it. But mostly, the bill failed year after year because bar and restaurant owners generally opposed it. They worried the law would cause customers to cut back on social drinking, which would hurt their businesses. And they said social drinkers weren't the cause of most drunken driving fatalities.
Every legislative district is filled with bars and restaurants, and their owners not only vote but contribute to campaigns. They've always been influential - and still are today.
But eventually, proponents of 0.08 won out.
As other states began to strengthen their drunken-driving laws and bars and restaurants in those places didn't collapse, the pressure mounted on Hoosier lawmakers. Then the feds got serious about their efforts to "encourage" states to change their laws.
The U.S. Department of Transportation announced that it would withhold 2 percent of federal transportation funding - that equates to millions of dollars for roads - from states that didn't have a 0.08 law.
In Indiana - the so-called Crossroads of America - that was enough.
Still, Wyss did have to take his name off the bill. In the end, it was then-Rep. Bob Kuzman, a Democrat and now a lobbyist, who was the author of the final bill. Wyss didn't even come to the bill signing.
But he'll always be remembered as the father of the 0.08 law for his tireless efforts on the issue.
Today, Wyss says he believes the new federal effort to reduce the legal limit for drunken driving to 0.05 percent is a good idea. He says the research shows almost everyone is too impaired at that level to be driving. But he says he won't be the guy behind the legislation to make the change.
"It's an effort I would not undertake again," Wyss told a reporter for TheStatehouseFile.com.
It will probably be years before there's a serious effort to move Indiana's limit to 0.05 - and even then it would probably take more years to pass it. Those restaurant and bar owners are still persuasive, although the science and victims' groups can be too.
Most persuasive, though, is money. So if federal officials are serious about forcing the change, they'll likely have to threaten Indiana and other states again with withholding federal highway funds. At a time when money for roads already is dwindling, that's likely the only way to get the attention of a majority of Hoosier lawmakers.

Grapes, like many other fruits and vegetables, have long been known to promote health heart, but a news study has shed light on a more profound and long-term heart benefit of grape consumption.
In fact, scientists from the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center found a grape-enriched diet may prevent heart damage after years of high blood pressure.
They arrived at the conclusion after comparing blood pressure in two groups of laboratory animals on a high-sodium diet. One group consumed a grape powder consisting of a blend of green, red and black grape extracts and one received a mild dose of a common blood pressure drug.
After 18 weeks, the rats that received the grape powder had lower blood pressure, better circulation and fewer signs of heart muscle damage than those that did not receive grapes.
"There are the small changes that diet can bring, but the effect of grape intake on genes can have a greater impact on disease down the road," says E. Mitchell Seymour, who led the research as part of his doctoral work in nutrition science at Michigan State University.
The researchers believe specific natural antioxidants called phytochemicals have the power to stimulate a protective process in the genes that reduces damage to the heart muscle.
The study was presented at the 2009 Experimental Biology convention in New Orleans.

Buford Rogers, who faces weapons charges in what the FBI once called a 'terror plot' to blow up a police station, is expected to plead guilty, according to a Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2014 update to a federal court calendar. (AP)
MINNEAPOLIS — The defense attorney for a Minnesota militia member indicted in what authorities once called a terror plot to blow up a police station said in court documents Wednesday that his client is not as dangerous as he was made out to be and should be released pending sentencing.
Buford Braden Rogers, 25, of Montevideo, faces weapons charges, including charges related to possessing Molotov cocktails, two black powder nail devices and a pipe bomb. He is scheduled to plead guilty Friday in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis.
He does not face any terror-related charges.
Assistant Federal Defender Andrew Mohring said authorities cast Rogers as a domestic terrorist when he was arrested in May.
Coming less than three weeks after the Boston Marathon bombings, these accusations were made in an unusually public manner, through press releases and televised interviews, Mohring wrote.
Eight months later, he said, the case stands in sharp contrast to what was initially publicized, and Rogers offenses are limited to possessing firearms and unregistered devices.
Aggravating circumstances, including terrorism ... let alone a conspiracy to blow things up, are agreed not to apply to this case, he wrote, adding: In the end, no additional evidence has been identified to confirm the existence of any plot to attack anyone or anything.
The FBI and the U.S. Attorneys Office had no comment.
Former U.S. Attorney Thomas Heffelfinger said terrorism charges can be difficult to bring because they require that the government prove a certain state of mind or intent. He said charging a defendant with an appropriate count that is more straightforward and easier to prove is a legitimate prosecutorial strategy.
You dont need to build a castle when a simple hut will do, he said.
Authorities say Rogers and his family members were part of a tiny anti-government militia called the Black Snack Militia and that Rogers was plotting to blow up the Montevideo police station and raid a National Guard Armory. At the time of his arrest, FBI officials said they believed they stopped a terrorist attack in its planning stages.
According to a redacted transcript of a May 3 interview with the FBI, Rogers told agents he was not violent and didnt know of anyone planning an attack. He also said he was using the Internet to try to investigate groups he considered to be dangerous, and that he formed his militia to do good, not harm people, the transcript said.
When the case began in May, Mohring waived detention proceedings for Rogers and reserved the right to deal with custody issues later on. He said he is raising the issue now, and asked the court to assess Rogers based on the current evidence, not the initial accusations.
Mohring asked that Rogers be allowed to go home, and said any concerns about public safety could be addressed through conditions such as house arrest, supervision, or placement in a halfway house.

On Sunday, March 3, Eastside Community Ministry was pleased to host its annual prom dress giveaway, Once Upon a Prom. More than 100 area high school girls attended this event at the Welcome Center, and were able to choose from more than 600 beautiful dresses at no costs. All of this could not have been possible without the generosity, participation and work of a wide partnership of community people.
First I would like to recognize Debbie Dennis and Levisa Hughes, of the Times Recorder, who dedicated many hours to collecting dresses and generating donations, as well as to setting up and working the event.
Vicki Maple and her staff at the Welcome Center were tireless in creating a welcoming atmosphere for all the girls and other guests. Every detail was handled with style and care.
Olde Towne Cleaners provided free cleaning for any dress. Jillian's provided hanging racks and bags for the gowns. Main Events Party Rentals provided drapes for the dressing rooms. Numerous local businesses provided door prizes. Individuals brought in more than 600 dresses to be given away. Finally, more than 50 local women volunteered to help girls with choosing the perfect dress.
The smiles on the faces of those girls are evidence that the giving heart of our Zanesville area is alive and strong. Thank you to everyone who made this event a success.

something for every metal fan under this swirling, deafening
maelstrom of wattage as Skinless truly come of age.
Noah Carpenter and bassman Joe Keyser give a free rein to
pure, hypnotic heaviness in From Sacrifice to Survival,
particularly during Battle Perpetual Will and Miscreant,
an indelible thrust on the senses where you can almost smell
the protein burning as its thick smoke blinds you. Punishing
soundscapes like Dead Conscience and the discs title track
see vocalist Sherwood Webber experimenting more with the dynamics
of his voice, his unearthly growl layered with black-metal
shrieks, spoken-word refrains and even a little freakin melody,
thank you very much. Drummer John Longstreth has a knack,
or maybe even a perversion, for finding the pocket of each
groove and tearing it to ribbons, adding a new, darker depth
and dimension to the Skinless assaultthe most scathing example
being the unfathomable helicopter breakdown at the end of
The Front Line of Sanity. Longstreth, formerly behind the
kit for Relapse labelmates Origin, is a welcome addition to
the fold after the departure of longtime skin basher Bob Beulac.
Produced by veteran metal producer Neil Kernon, this disc
showcases how death metal should be: an ever-evolving hypothesis
tried repeatedly by brutal stress-fatigue technology. And
while the droll splatter-samples and the horror-movie schlock
have given way to the tastes and neuroses of a more mature
monster, Skinless continue to challenge the traditional boundaries
between death, doom and thrash with this dark source of unadulterated
acceleration, threatening to pull you apart with every change
in your plane of motion. So far the most refreshing pit music
of 2003, and Im not just talking for the locals. Youre gonna
need a tetanus booster and dental insurance.
Artists Choice
(Hear Music/Sony)
The buying-CDs-in-Starbucks phenomenon doesnt make any more
(or less) sense than its promotional predecessors in the LP-era.
Triple lattes and world music are no more (or less) compatible
than natural gas and Fred Astaire dance tunes were in the
The latest coffee-shop promotion finds esteemed artists selecting
a discs worth of music that matters to them. So far, the
releases have been mixed. While Lucinda Williams and Ray Charles
made interesting picks, the Rolling Stones and Sheryl Crow
went the boring and obvious route.
The Stones chose a dozen African-American artists, plus one
each from the Beach Boys and Eddie Cochrane. There are no
contemporaries (sorry Ray, Pete, Eric, Paul and Ringo), nor
the band they once termed their fave (the Four Seasons), nor
the guy who taught them country (Gram Parsons). Mick and Keith,
petty and ungrateful as ever. This is the evidence that the
artists do compile each disc.
Tony Bennett has picked a predictable but pleasing roster
of artists. Some of the choices tend to the obvious side.
Frank Sinatra, Art Tatum, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole,
Doris Day, Duke Ellington and Count Basie are all represented
by trademark tunes; lesser-known recordings by Billie Holiday,
Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire stand out. The flow of the songs
is very good, however.
The disc is noticeable, too, for Bennetts liner notes, as
when he explains how Crosby (on Cole Porters I Love You
Samantha) bizarrely, and effortlessly, hums the intro in
a different key than the rest of the song.
There are worse things to do while sucking down an overly
caffeinated beverage than listening to this perfectly nice
Lonesome Organist
Forms and Follies
(Thrill Jockey)
Opening with toy piano and accordion, the one-man band known
as the Lonesome Organist (aka Jeremy Jacobsen) invites listeners
into Forms and Follies, the third installment of his
hybrid cartoon- carnival-cabaret (his second album was aptly
titled Cavalcade). The Lonesome Organists self-recorded
set finds his self-imposed loneliness cracked by the similarly
inclined Nick Macri (aka Bobby Conn), who adds bass to a couple
numbers. Jacobsens prankster and romantic impulses are both
given their due here, the former sometimes giving way to the
latter and vice versa. Melodies give the 14 songs their heart,
their concise purposefulness embracing the sad, the surreal
and the celebratory. While sharing some traits with film music,
these pieces have far too involved foreground and background
movement to lie still behind visuals for very long. Jacobsen
also invites assorted postpunk sensibilities to attend the
banquet, resulting in the dense hijinks of Whos to Say Your
Souls Not Carbon, a sort of second generation Tom Waits
kitchen-sink production.
Elsewhere, there are hallucinogenic skating-rink themes (The
Multiplier), Keatonesque silent-screen melancholia (Blue
Bellows), vibes-based jazz vamps (The Moon Fugue), and
fractured, doowop-informed crooning (One of Me). Much of
Jacobsens multi-instrumentalization is recorded in the same
way he plays live: simultaneously (his multitracked vocals
being the most obvious exception). Jacobsen has his feet in
two worlds, one being the live dazzle of a one-man band, the
other being the more open-ended realm of composing and recording
studios. He continues to demonstrate a keen sense of using
the right tool for the job, maximizing the emotional bearing
of the music in the end.
All That Glitters Is Dead
Cancel my Gold Circle subscription to Al Goldsteins Screw
Magazine. Theres a new organized criminal in the waste-management
industry, a wonderfully insipid and lurid steamroller of obsession
and psychosis. You never could take Erotics frontman Mike
Trash anywhere. Hell, you cant even dress him up, but give
him six strings and 60 bucks for bail and watch what happens.
certain fatalistic, sci-fi porn sensibility is the platform
for All That Glitters Is Dead, from the anthemic choruses
of Supermodel Suicide and Only Girl for Me (an incognito
version of the bands infamous Helen Keller) to the rapacious
hooks of Bullet and Star-Spangled and Beaten. Trash has
finally given up on the idea of a lead guitarist and has assumed
those chores himself, his smudgy junkies voice an abrasive
slur over the murderous hail of his Les Paul. Bassist Bil
(thats not a typo) Dolan, a killer guitarist in his own right,
anchors Trash to planet Earth with flawless nickel-plated
steel rumbling through the crossfire while Mickey King dutifully
whaps the skins à la Tommy Ramone. Infamous for hiring career
felons and sociopaths, Trash seems to have found some stability
in this current lineup, and it shows here in the details.
Its easy to categorize the Erotics as a glam outfit, what
with the oozing mascara eyeballs and all, but to me its just
rock & roll that can blow the chrome off a tailpipe at
50 paces. Virtuosos? Oh god no. But All That Glitters .
. . is as brash and subversive as it gets, while maintaining
that curious, infectious listenability, one that dances with
hookers, wrestles with troopers and performs unspeakable acts
at the rest stop. Smoke em if you got em.

Yes, upper register. Its index in Serbian and that's what we used in Introductory Linguistics when I was still going to college.
The languages I know or can understand are mainly Slavic. For example if I go to any Slavic language Wikipedia I can read any article. In school I have studied (apart from Slovak and Serbo-Croatian which are native to me) only Russian. The rest I have just practised by reading and listening. Studying Old Church Slavonic and reading Comparative linguistics of Slavic languages helped me understand how Slavic languages separated and in what way they are different and same. So even if I come to a word I have never seen before I can compare it to a word from one of the Slavic languages I do know and discover its meaning. Same goes for morphology. Of course there are exceptions when a word is unique for a language in which case I consult a dictionary, but I do that rarely.
One thing I do though when reading another Slavic language is that I pronounce the words the way they would be in my own language. For instance, I always pronounce Polish /rz/ or Chech /ř/ as [r], the way it is in Slovak, or Polish /y/ and Russian /ы/ as [i], not [ɨ], or Polish /ą/ as [u]. I also pronounce accents and vowels longer or shorter according to where they are pronounced in Slovak. This doesn't help me in learning the language, but it makes it reading hell of a lot easier.

Warm and fit well
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
These are warm enough for my mild climate and stay in place. I don't know what it's like to ride in temps below 50 degrees so I can't say if these would work for that, but I find them too warm for all but the chilliest days here.
