Japan's Growth in Solar Power Falters as Utilities Balk
Solar use in Japan has exploded over the last two years as part of an ambitious national effort to promote renewable energy. But the technology's future role is now in doubt. Utilities say their infrastructure cannot handle the swelling army of solar entrepreneurs intent on selling their power. And their willingness to invest more money depends heavily on whether the government remains committed to clean energy.
Pennsylvania Governor Proposes Big Investments in Renewable Energy and Efficiency
Today, in his first budget address as Governor of Pennsylvania, Tom Wolf proposed $325 million in investments in the state's energy sector, including significant investments in wind, solar, and energy efficiency. This proposal is part of an overall economic development plan aimed at investing in education and creating high-paying jobs across the Commonwealth.
Colo. latest state to reject scale-back of renewable standards
Efforts to roll back state-level renewable energy standards hit another roadblock yesterday, as Colorado Democrats rejected a measure aimed at reducing the state's current generation requirements. But opponents to the mandated use of resources including wind and solar power will still press similar bills in a handful of other states this year.
Most Americans see combating climate change as a moral duty
Two-thirds of respondents (66 percent) said that world leaders are morally obligated to take action to reduce CO2 emissions. And 72 percent said they were "personally morally obligated" to do what they can in their daily lives to reduce emissions. "When climate change is viewed through a moral lens it has broader appeal," said Eric Sapp, executive director of the American Values Network, a grassroots organization that mobilizes faith-based communities on politics and policy issues.
Comment: Is renewable energy part of the 'all of the above' strategy?
In the Midwest, the support for renewable fuels is clearly bipartisan. Gov. Terry Brandstad (R) of Iowa is one of their most vocal champions. As far as solar power is concerned, the industry's support is from coast to coast, including Govs. Pat McCrory (R-N.C.) and Brian Sandoval (R-Nev.) and former Gov. Jan Brewer (R-Ariz.). Plus, wind power farms can be found in 39 states and that only happens when political support exists amongst mayors, city councils, state legislatures and governors
Dems stop Colorado renewable-energy rollback
Colorado Democrats controlling a House of Representatives committee on Monday killed a Republican attempt to roll back rural renewable-energy standards. The measure made it through the Republican-controlled Senate last month but faced an uphill climb in the House, where Democrats on the State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee ended the effort by a 6-5 party-line vote.
Scott Walker wants to end funding for renewable energy program
In an about-face from his first term, Gov. Scott Walker wants to eliminate funding for a University of Wisconsin-Madison renewable energy research center that has played a key role in helping land one of its biggest government grants ever. In his budget, Walker is proposing to eliminate $8.1 million over two years — a total of 35 positions — from a bioenergy program. The reductions are separate from his proposal to cut $300 million from the University of Wisconsin System over the next two years.
Rhode Island project may become nation's first offshore wind farm
While problems have mounted for Cape Wind's 130-turbine installation, a smaller developer may steal its thunder. Deepwater Wind, a Providence-based renewable energy developer, said Monday that its Block Island wind farm project was fully financed. The $250 million, five-turbine project is on track to put "steel in the water" in Rhode Island state waters later this summer, the company said, and begin generating 30 megawatts of power in 2016.
Midwest law center can compromise but doesn't fear a fight
ELPC is among a few regional environmental law centers that operate in the gap between national Goliaths like the Natural Resources Defense Council and small grass-roots organizations. The center takes on major litigation — fighting lawsuits brought by former Chesapeake Energy Corp. CEO Aubrey McClendon, arguing for solar and wind energy in state Supreme Courts, and battling Great Lakes pollution.

Product Description
While other films directed by Nicolas Roeg have attained similar cult status (including Walkabout and Don't Look Now), none has been as hotly debated as this languid but oddly fascinating adaptation of the science fiction novel by Walter Tevis. David Bowie plays the alien of the title, who arrives on Earth with hopes of finding a way to save his own planet from turning into an arid wasteland. He funds this effort by capitalizing on several highly lucrative inventions, and in so doing becomes the powerful leader of an international corporate conglomerate. But his success has negative consequences as well--his contact with Earth has a disintegrating effect that sends him into a tailspin of disorientation and metaphysical despair. The sexual attention of a cheerful young woman (Candy Clark) doesn't do much to change his outlook, and his introduction to liquor proves even more devastating, until, finally, it looks as though his visit to Earth may be a permanent one. The Man Who Fell to Earth is definitely not for every taste--it's a highly contemplative, primarily visual experience that Roeg directs as an abstract treatise on (among other things) the alienating effects of an over-commercialized society. Stimulating and hypnotic or frightfully dull, depending on your receptiveness to its loosely knit ideas, it's at least in part about not belonging, about being disconnected from the world--about being a stranger in a strange land when there's really no place like home. --Jeff Shannon. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Despite my being a Bowie (super-) fan, I think everyone looking for a new experience in an interesting, smart and thought provoking, non-linear film should definitely buy the special edition DVD! It's worth every penny because it's a movie you can't just watch once, the VHS edition does not do it justice and the 2nd disc offers a very interesting and helpful 'Watching The Alien' documentary!
David Bowie, whom I adore anyway, makes an excellent debut in this superb film.
The film follows Walter Tevis's novel very well and adapts to the screen to create a very saddening tale of corporate America and how it can be a boon or a bust to some, including aliens.
That alone is a scary thought.
Upon his arrival from a dying planet, Thomas Jerome Newton sets out to create an empire to obtain money to purchase water for his dying planet. Occasional scenes are shown of him leaving his wife and children behind, and throughout the film we see other scenes of them waiting for his return.
What is never shown is how he is going to transport this to his home planet.
Along the way to his path to success, he is plagued by metaphorical leeches who will do anything to stop him. Greed, lust, and several other deadly sins are thrust upon our protaganist as he tries in vain to overcome them in the process.
David Bowie was the perfect person to be cast for this movie. He moves along in it with an icy perfection that is or was appropriate to his character at the time.
Keep in mind, this film is not without it's flaws. Some scenes were restored to make this the original theatrical release. One involving Rip Torn and his student could have been done without as it makes no sense and attributes nothing to the overall affect of the movie. Again, that is just an opinion, and die hard fans of this movie will be happy that it is included.
This film, upon it's release, was well ahead of its time and to this day, many of the themes implied still are appropiate to what constitutes success vs. failure in the American business sense.Read more ›

Sarah Michelle Geller
Sarah Michelle Geller in Current/Elliott The Stiletto in Rose Gold Stars
Snapped while running errands, Sarah Michelle Geller was photographed wearing a pair of Current/Elliott The Stiletto jeans in Rose Gold Stars.
These are one of my all time favorite pairs of printed jeans! We haven't seen a celeb out in them in quite some time. I do have to say, the way she styled them isn't my favorite. I think there's too much going on and a simpler look would've allowed the jeans to shine through more. You can buy Current/Elliott online from Shopbop.com.

Z-Band: The Leader in Enterprise Video Distribution Systems
Z-Band is a veteran-owned commercial video system provider based in Carlisle, PA. The company designs and manufactures leading-edge, high-definition video distribution systems for the government, healthcare, commercial, education, hospitality, and international markets. Z-Band features an active, self-adjusting system that is capable of distributing CATV/HDTV, satellite, internally-generated video, 4K and other video-on-demand (VOD) services over shielded and unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Category cable.
Patented Technology Provides Dependable Maintenance-Free Picture Quality
Z-Band's (RF) HDTV distribution system features patented technology that is unparalleled in the industry. A one-piece 12- or 24-port master hub and intelligent balun automatically adjust the video signal for gain or slope, ensuring the highest possible picture quality to all drops and across the broadcast spectrum. Through a process known as cascading, additional hubs can be added quickly and easily, enabling efficient HD distribution to thousands of enterprise televisions.
Category Cable Is the Horizontal Infrastructure of a Z-Band Video Distribution System
While the Z-Band distribution system relies on single-mode fiber or coax cable (RG6 or RG11) for its backbone, it's the use of Category (CAT) cable in the horizontal that makes the difference. Z-Band technology works extremely well with CAT 5e or better cable for providing video distribution from the hubs to individual TVs, using "video CAT 6A shielded cable" facilitates the end-user to get the highest quality video from their HD distribution system.
Acquisition and Life-Cycle Costs of a Z-Band System
A Z-Band system can offer multiple benefits for your organization. Because the system makes use of CAT cable, it's much easier to configure than a coax-based system. The simple "plug and play" technology requires only a small amount of technical expertise for adds, moves and drops. A Z-Band system is also easy to maintain, keeping associated labor costs to a minimum — you'll appreciate the way the lower design, installation and maintenance costs will provide a meaningful return on your initial investment.
An Innovative Enterprise Video Distribution Backed by the Best Support in the Industry
While a Z-Band system will deliver superior video distribution throughout your enterprise, our support is what really sets us apart. We'll be with you every step of the way, from initial video system design all the way through installation and commissioning. You can always count on us to provide ongoing support and service long after the initial system implementation.
Z-Band's newly launched IP Systems/IP Video Company offers its customers a state-of-the-art, highly scalable, standards-based video distribution technology to encode, decode, record, store, send and receive video over the LAN or WAN

Released: Dec 01st, 2004
Running Time: 93
Director: Andre Madness
Company: Madness Pictures
Cast: Jerry (II), Steven St. Croix, Jerry (I), Alex Rox, Jayna Oso, Seth Dickens, Kaylynn, Jenaveve Jolie, Lola (I), Marco Duato, Jennifer Luv, Lee Stone
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Prominently in your Latin section.
As he so often does, Steven St. Croix provides the comic highlight of this all-Latin affair, hamming it up as a masseuse who plays gay in order to knead his way right betwixt the thighs of delectable Jenaveve Jolie. The sexual highlight, on the other hand, has to be Jennifer Luv's scrog sesh with cop Lee Stone, which has its own chuckle-worthy touches, particularly Luv screaming, "Fuck me, piggy!" with Stone's cop hat perched on her head.
One problem here is that if you watch the DVD's behind the scenes, you'll discover an entire connecting device (alluded to in the box copy, by the by) has been cut out. But who needs connecting devices when you've got everything from internal pops to double vag (performed muy enthusiastically by Jayna Oso in the opener)?

Comments about Purifying Mud Mask Travel Size:
I used the product as directed and when applying it felt like a really fine sand. It was a nice exfoliator. When I rinsed my face it was not dry although when waiting the 2 minutes to rinse it felt like it was going to be. Hours later I noticed that my T-zone was not oily like it usually is and that was a nice surpise.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - A church-run Tulsa daycare has shut down at the request of the Department of Human Services after three children got out of the building and were found alone.
The daycare at Christ United Methodist Church closed yesterday after two 1-year-olds left the building Wednesday.
The incident comes after a 3-year-old wandered away from the daycare on April 9.
All three children were returned to the center and none were hurt.
Church pastor Bob Feist says there are no plans to try to reopen the daycare.

Genre: All-Sex
The French are such sturdy people. We're guessing that's why Melissa Lauren seems willing to suffer with whatever's done to her in the course of fucking - like forcing her to keep a weird inflatable bulb in her mouth as she's getting double-plunged by Joel Lawrence and Tony T two or three times.
Nothing else on this disk is quite as strange - well, maybe Lily Thai's phonecall from mom while getting doggie-pounded by Brian Surewood - but several scenes are a bit sexier - like Lucy Thai's three d.p.s and the Asia/Jada Fire/Tony and Nautica Thorn/Lani Lei/Surewood threeways. And while no one scene is pre-nommable, the total package is in the running for Best All-Sex Release.

MOST CURRENT reports on rheumatic diseases deal with treatment; many compare the effects of particular pharmaceutical agents. Properly regarded as fragments of clinical investigation, such reports do not mean that the successful management of rheumatoid arthritis depends on the administration of one or the other medicine. To be sure, several drugs have definite, more or less circumscribed usefulness. Some rheumatoid patients treated with a new preparation may also have been substantially improved at some time. But if one in practice were to rely foremost on his selection of antirheumatic drugs, he would oftener than not make merely a choice of embarrassments.
There is as yet no remedy which can be counted upon to arrest rheumatoid arthritis. None has induced remissions as consistently as have either pregnancy or jaundice. But even though Factor X, credited by Hench with reversibility of rheumatoid arthritis, remains unknown, the disease also commonly abates under

In Brief: Erie police investigate crash involving patrol vehicle
Police investigate crash involving patrol vehicle
Erie police are investigating a Tuesday afternoon traffic accident involving a city police patrol vehicle that sent occupants of both vehicles for medical treatment.
Police said the accident happened at about 2 p.m. A patrol vehicle driven by Erie police Patrolman Chuck Fuhrman was traveling north on Raspberry Street and was responding to a call when it collided with a Range Rover traveling west on West 10th Street, police said.
Five people in the Range Rover were taken to the hospital.
Fuhrman later went to a medical facility to be checked out, according to police.
The vehicles received heavy damage.
The Erie Bureau of Police Accident Investigation Unit will investigate the crash with assistance from the Pennsylvania State Police, Police Chief Randy Bowers said Wednesday.
Another crash involving an Erie police vehicle happened at Third and State streets early on the morning of May 15. The police officer involved in that crash was found at fault and was reprimanded, police said.
Slots players bet $30.2 million at casino
Gamblers wagered $30.2 million on slot machines at Presque Isle Downs & Casino during the week of July 14-20.
The amount returned to gamblers was $27.1 million, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported.
The gross revenue -- the amount of gamblers' losses -- was $2.3 million, after subtracting $783,306 in promotional free plays. Of that gross revenue, more than $1.2 million went to the state and nearly $1.1 million to the casino.
During a comparable week in 2013, July 15-21, gamblers wagered $32.6 million. The amount returned to them was $29.2 million.
The record for slots wagers in a week was $57 million, set July 5-11, 2010.
Erie woman hits slots jackpot worth $75,000
An Erie woman won a $75,000 jackpot this week while playing a slot machine at Presque Isle Downs & Casino.
The woman, who told the casino that she wanted to remain anonymous, won on a $1 Bally Quick Hit Platinum Black Gold machine Monday, the casino said.
Jeff Favre, Presque Isle Downs' general manager, said in a statement that he was "thrilled" to learn about the jackpot. "A big $75,000 jackpot is definitely a great way to start the week," he said.

Spring Hill College to present "Godspell" March 22-25
Mobile, Ala. – The Spring Hill College Theater will present the musical "Godspell" March 22-25 at the Arlene Mitchell Theater on campus.
The Broadway hit by John-Michael Tebelak and Stephen Schwartz presents the Gospel of St. Matthew told almost entirely in song. Updated to New York City of the late 1960s and early '70s, the play features Jesus Christ as a wandering minstrel dressed like a circus clown. By blowing on an instrument that reaches only the ears of a select few around the bustling city, John the Baptist summons nine simpatico hippies to a fountain in Central Park, where they revel in the waters of their baptism. When Christ joins the group, the free-flowing fraternal love solidifies into a desire to spread the word of God around the city.
"Godspell" performances begin each night at 8 p.m. General admission is $10; student admission is $5. For more information, call the SHC Department of Fine and Performing Arts at (251) 380-3855.

For action, adventure, airplane movies soar
Published: Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at 3:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at 3:21 p.m.
"Red Tails" tells the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, black fighter pilots who fought the enemy and prejudice during World War II. It's an important historical moment, of course. But it's also an airplane movie. Wings, propellers and jet engines play a role in a lot of movies, and have for a long time, as we'll see. A few good ones:
"Wings" (1927): See? Told you airplane movies have been around for a long time. This love triangle involving World War I fighter pilots and Clara Bow was the first Academy Awards best-picture winner. Look for Cary Grant (though he's not one of the leads), as well.
"Airplane!" (1980): Jim Abrahams and David and Jerry Zucker redefined comedy — really — with their throw-every-joke-at-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks disaster-film spoof. But you knew that. Let's just go right to the quotes: " What kind of plane is it?" " Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the window and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol."
"Airport" (1970): First of the all-star disaster movies — the kind of thing "Airplane!" went on to skewer. Burt Lancaster, Dean Martin, Jacqueline Bisset — hey, they were big stars then — involves a snowstorm at a fictional airport near Chicago and a suicidal bomber. Man, wouldn't you love to have Dean Martin flying your plane? Now that would be hip, if only for the pilot announcements. Helen Hayes — who would also be in " Airplane!" — won a best supporting actress Oscar.
"The Spirit of St. Louis" (1957): Jimmy Stewart stars in this biopic of Charles Lindbergh, as he works to make the first solo transatlantic crossing by plane. Cooler still: Not only was Stewart a pilot himself, he flew bombing missions in World War II, and rose to the rank of brigadier general in the U.S. Air Force.
"Top Gun" (1986): Tony Scott's film is sometimes derided as a glossy recruiting poster for the military. Maybe, but it's also the film that, once " Risky Business" made him a star, launched Tom Cruise into whatever level exists above that. He plays Maverick, a fighter pilot in training, who clashes with instructors and rival Iceman (Val Kilmer) but naturally learns his lesson and becomes a hero. Poor Goose, though, even if Anthony Edwards did all right with "E.R." in the end.
"Air Force One" (1997): President James Marshall (Harrison Ford) adopts a zero-tolerance stance against terrorists. Naturally, terrorists hijack his plane (as if) and take its passengers, including his family, hostage. Happily for the country, and unhappily for the terrorists, Marshall isn't just Commander-in-Chief. He's also a badass Medal of Honor winner. Gary Oldman makes a great bad guy, and he's the subject of the notable line (and scene) in which Marshall yells, " Get off my plane!" Have a nice fall. â(euro) 1/8
"United 93" (2006): Paul Greengrass wrote and directed this film, about United Flight 93, hijacked by terrorists on 9/11. Passengers banded together to prevent it from striking its target, the U.S. Capitol, but it cost them their lives. There was talk at the time that it was too much, too soon, but the film was warmly received as a tribute to the passengers' bravery and sacrifice.
"Thirty Seconds over Tokyo" (1944): Spencer Tracy plays Lt. Col. James Doolittle, who leads the first air strike against Japan after the Pearl Harbor attack. The cast also includes Van Johnson, Robert Mitchum and Robert Walker; Dalton Trumbo — who would later be blacklisted after refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee — wrote the screenplay.
"The Right Stuff" (1983): Yes, Philip Kaufman's film, based on the great book by Tom Wolfe, tells the story of the original Mercury 7 astronauts. But before they were astronauts, they were pilots. And the film uses a framing device that makes a hero out of legendary fighter pilot Chuck Yeager, played with grit by Sam Shepard. Read the book, see the movie. Both are fantastic.
"Snakes on a Plane" (2006): OK, it's not exactly a classic, and you hate to see Samuel L. Jackson reduced to this. It's pretty much what the title promises — snakes are released on a plane to silence a witness before a trial, horror ensues. But it's notable in that a big Internet response led to the addition of Jackson's line, "I have had it with these (expletive) snakes on this (expletive) plane!" Very interactive.

National wildlife refuge week
This year, National Wildlife Refuge Week will be celebrated from October 10 through October 16. During this week, wildlife enthusiasts throughout Mississippi will join with millions of others across America in celebrating the diversity and resources of our national wildlife refuges.
National wildlife refuges are dedicated to the conservation of fish and wildlife and their habitats. They also offer a wide range of wildlife-dependent recreation – from hunting and fishing to wildlife observation, environmental education, nature interpretation and wildlife photography. They are great places to teach our children the importance of making a lifelong commitment to our nation's natural resources.
Refuges in Mississippi include Coldwater, DaHomey, Grand Bay, Hillside, Holt Collier, Noxubee, Panther Swamp, St. Catherine's Creek, Sand Hill Crane, Tallahatchie, Theodore Roosevelt, Yazoo, Morgan Brake and Matthew's Brake.
Waterfowl populations are some of the highest they have been in over a decade and Mississippi's deer population is over 1.7 million. That's more deer per acre than any other state. Many boat ramps have been constructed and thousands of acres in public lands have been added to our wildlife management areas and national wildlife refuges in the last 10 years.
Our wildlife populations would not be so good and we would not have the opportunity to enjoy them on our public lands if it were not for our congressional delegation, the Mississippi Legislature and members of Mississippi's conservation organizations, such as Wildlife Mississippi, Ducks Unlimited, The Conservation Fund, the Trust For Public Land, The Nature Conservancy, the Mississippi Wildlife Federation, the Mississippi Legislative Sportsman's Caucus and the Mississippi Land Trust. They have provided the leadership to make sure our refuges are maintained under sound conservation practices to benefit both wildlife and wildlife enthusiasts. But not to be forgotten are our superb biologists and law enforcement personnel.
If you visit a national wildlife refuge during National Wildlife Refuge Week, you can enjoy birding tours, fishing and hunting events, hiking and educational activities for kids. These refuges also offer opportunities all year long. With national refuges in every state and within an hour's drive of most major metropolitan areas, nearly all of us can find unsurpassed opportunities to hunt, fish, photograph and watch wildlife.
For more information about national wildlife refuges, call 1-800-344-WILD (9453) or visit www.fws.gov. Enjoy our refuges and remember the work it took to make them happen.

Published: Tuesday, December 23, 2008 at 12:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 23, 2008 at 12:55 p.m.
A man who died in a single-car accident Sunday had stolen the vehicle he was driving, according to the N.C. Highway Patrol.

The accident occurred at about 7:25 p.m. Sunday, Watkins said.

More on Liberty Media's hunt for Time Warner Cable: (previous): A bid to purchase the cable operator is being structured by John Malone's company even though Time Warner Cable (TWC +4.2%) hasn't indicated serious interest. Analysts see Time Warner Cable wanting at least a 20% premium before it warms up to the notion. The end game for Liberty Media (LMCA +2.4%) is to increase its scale through horizontal acquisitions which could be achieved bringing Charter Communications and TWC under the same corporate umbrella.

Today is a sad day for me in the crafting world. I have made the final decisions to step down from my last 2 design teams. I guess I am officially retiring from crafting. Over the last couple of years I have been slowly cutting back on commitments but My Mind's Eye was so dear to my heart that I just couldn't do it. We had some family trouble a few years ago and through all of that I lost my mojo and love for crafting. My design teams are what kept me crafting. Family life is great now, and I do enjoy my crafting again, but the desire is not completely back. I am so busy with my Jamberry and my grand daughter that I could never find time for crafting. What used to be a nightly occurrence now squeaking in time for design team commitments was proving difficult. So I made the final decisions and have stepped away from My Mind's Eye and Scrapbook Adhesives, my last 2 design teams. I am up on both blogs today. My Mind's Eye was the hardest decision for me. I have been on that team for many years and still remember the day one summer when I got the email asking if I would like to be on the team.... a dream come true!
I do hope to get back into regular crafting one day. Right now though I am enjoying the things I am doing and in fact... my daughter and grand daughter spent the night last night and I think I hear some noises... the little one should be up soon :)

Hello World - Planner Pages, Journal and then the Layout!
Oh I'm bad. I have been so busy lately, feeling somewhat like a hamster in a wheel! I was up on the My Mind's Eye and Scrapbook Adhesives Blog with my first layout of my Greece Trip.
I have used the Hello World papers which I used on my planner pages:
I have used the Hello World papers which I used on my planner pages:
I then used the papers to alter some little notebooks for my daughter, husband and myself to document our trip to Greece.
The papers were also perfect for creating some luggage tags with the Self Laminating Pouches - so quick and easy!
So finally here is the layout. Of course I used the E-Z Runner Grand to adhere the main pieces.
See that airplane cut out on the corner: That is the leftover negative piece when I created the little journals! I just cut it out and used it as an accent.
I also used a piece of the packaging as I thought it made for a great tag to tuck in behind my cluster.
Thanks for stopping by, I know I don't post as much as I used to.... my weekend crafty time is taken up playing with my grand daughter and our house is like grand central station with a constant stream of visitors who know, that they will most likely get to see my grand daughter if they pop over! Lots of fun!

Boy Birthday Card
Time for another challenge over at The Challenge and this week it is a sketch, which I love.
I decided to use it as a chance to make another birthday card.
I used the Cameron Collection by Elle's Studio, yes I still have some left
and yes I will be sad when I have used it all up :)
I used some dies by My Favorite Things for a quick and easy card.
Now hop on over to The Challenge to see what the rest of the DT have created and please play along!

Lucky Me - St. Patrick's Day card with Non Themed paper
I was up on the My Mind's Eye blog with a St. Patrick's Day themed card using the On Trend 2 collection.
I love the bits of gold in the collection and thought it would be perfect.
Kind of like a pot of gold ;)
The title is a Kerri Bradford cut file I cut with my Silhouette.
I couldn't let that negative gold piece go to waste so I used it on the corner.

Matt Williamson (11:49 AM)
MW here to get started a little early. Beautiful day here in the 'Burgh-hopefully it is wherever you are as well. Let's roll.
Mathis (West Branch, Iowa
What would be chiefs smartest draft choice?
Matt Williamson (11:51 AM)
That isn't an easy question to answer in my opinion. I still really think Crabtree should be a target (think Moss in NEng), but I seem to be in the minority. A pass rusher is the biggest need without a doubt, but I don't see one worthy of such a high pick. Maybe Raji-make him the NT and then Dorsey to DE? Couldn't go too wrong with one of the OTs-but then you would have to ask him or Albert (both very high draft picks) to move to the right side, which isn't what they are accustomed. When it is all said and done, Curry seems like the most logical guys I suppose.
Nate (DC)
I get the feeling these 3 top QBs are going to get people in the 17-22 range to trade up to the early teens, agree?
Matt Williamson (11:53 AM)
Yeah, I could see that. As you might know, I really am high on Sanchez, but lets just assume that Stafford goes very high, Sanchez then goes in the 8-12 neighborhood-then I think the rush starts to get that third (& final) QB who can be considered a franchise type guy.
Matt (East Lansing Michigan)
What is the most likely trade the lions would pull off to get cutler?
Matt Williamson (11:53 AM)
How about #20 straight up for Cutler?
Kevin (Waukee, IA)
What is the Vikings front office thinking? They draft Jackson a couple years ago, sign Rosenfels this offseason, and now their rumored to be interested in Cutler.
Matt Williamson (11:55 AM)
Well, for years, they have put small band aids on a gaping wound. Cutler certainly has his faults-and is not a sure thing-but he would be a massive upgrade over what they have been playing with and obviously should help Minny to win right away. However, his pension for making poor decisions and forcing throws makes him a not-so-great fit on a team that should stress D and their running game.
james (pitt)
What are the eagles most likely to do with their first round picks? use them or trade them?
Matt Williamson (11:56 AM)
Boldin seems like the only target they would use the picks to trade for-& I would be very much in favor of that. But, if they keep the picks, I think Moreno will be high on their wish list. Oher or Britton at OT also could be a real possibility. I like Nicks and Britt for the Eagels as well. One guy who should be very hard for them to pass on is Pettigrew though.
Kevin (Waukee, IA)
Don't you think the Packers would be better off with Julius Peppers than Aaron Kampman at OLB? I just can't see Kampman playing in the 3-4. Think they could swap players?
Matt Williamson (11:58 AM)
I do think that Peppers is a better fit at OLB than Kampman-no doubt. And...now is a great time for me to make my rant about how this is a terrible move for GBay to move to a 3-4 for just so many reasons. Anyways, a swap? I am sure there are legistics as to why this wouldn't work out, but on the surface, it actually makes a lot of sense. Car would have a gaping hole at DE if/when they move Peppers.
bob. jerseyyyy [via mobile]
hey matt u think maybin from penn state can provide that outside rush green bay needs in their new scheme.any otha playas u see them getin at nine.
Matt Williamson (11:59 AM)
I really have mixed feelings on Maybin. One year wonder with very questionable instincts....which doesn't bode well for a position change or ability to read the play from a coverage standpoint. However, edge rushers do not grow on trees and his first step quickness is excellent. Wouldn't take him at 9 though.
james (pitt)
Do you think the Eagles would draft Pettigrew and a solid OT. Then use one of their 4th or 5th round picks combined with their second to move up and draft one of the solid backs left over?
Matt Williamson (12:02 PM)
One thing that we know is that Andy Reid very much values big men. If they went Pettigrew with their first pick and Britton with that second first rounder, I would be all in favor of that. Could see it happening as well. Then...maybe you consider trading up for someone like Robiskie, who would be an excellent fit or a RB who starts to fall. But, if you stay put after getting those top two, you are still going to get adaquate help at WR and esp RB with a player like Brown from NC ST or Jennings from Liberty for example. Philly has a lot of cards in their hand right now.
Nate (Crosby ND)
Is there any way the Cards would part with Matt Leinart in some sort of a three team trade with the Broncos? Possibly Culter to the Lions, Pick number 20 to the Cards, and Leinart to the Broncos.
Matt Williamson (12:04 PM)
Hmmm-not sure what the cap ramifications would be on something like that, since Zona did give ML a big signing bonus after drafting him, but is that a good deal for Denver? I assume there would be more to the deal and I am not ready to dismiss Leinhart as a bust, but I would want some picks along with ML if I were to trade Cutler. As for Zona-they should do it. Would HAVE to find another QB-preferably a young one and maybe a vet as well-considering Warner's fragility and age.
Ralph (Northern Ireland)
Hi Matt I always enjoy your chats the most. As a Bucs fan do you think #19 straight up would be enough to get Cutler, or would a #4 or #5 be required as well? With him in our team our offense suddenly looks very good
Matt Williamson (12:06 PM)
I like him going to TBay. They have the money to lock him up as well. Hard to say on the compensation, but I do think it benefits TBay that they have the pick right ahead of Detroit. If they were to complete a deal similiar to what you suggest, they would be set on O. D still worries me and it doesn't look any better on paper now than it did last season.
luke (bellingham, wa)
What's your take on Seattle's draft plans?
Matt Williamson (12:08 PM)
Was leaning towards Raji there for a while, as Ruskell likes to take D players from big schools early in the draft, but they now just added C Redding and have a lot of bodies at DT. They are still a mystery to me. What I don't know for sure if just how much longer do they think that W Jones has left. Locklear is fine at RT. Is now the time to get a guy like Monroe? Wouldn't blame them and I suppose Locklear could move to OG. Now with Housh in the fold, Crabtree is probbaly out...or is he? Sanchez?
chauncey (teaneck)
Is Kenny Britt the pick for the giants?
Matt Williamson (12:09 PM)
Sure could be. WR is far and away need #1. I do think one more LB would be a welcome addition as well and looking at team needs, WR is going to be in much more demand on DDay than LB, so maybe someone like Cushing happens to fall into their lap. OT could be a consideration as well and I think a 2nd round TE could be in the cards, but overall, I hear ya loud and clear with Britt.
cody (huntsville, alabama)
i think that the giants will grab nicks or britt with their pick
Matt Williamson (12:10 PM)
Nicks is a guy whose stock is probably higher than many realize. One of the more NFL ready WRs out there. I bet he goes pretty high and NYG has zero shot at him.
Steiny (NYC)
Despite everything, won't Andre Smith be drafted in the top 10 anyway?
Matt Williamson (12:11 PM)
Perhaps. The guy just has a skill set that is very difficult to find. He moves bodies. Can't see him getting past SD for sure. But...he REALLY should have wore a shirt during his 40 yard dash at his Pro Day! Wow.
Corey (Philadelphia)
Moreno, Beanie Wells, Pettigrew: Any chance the Eagles land any of em?
Matt Williamson (12:13 PM)
Sure. Maybe two of the three. There is a lot to like about Wells, but to me, Moreno should be more sought after by Philly-just because of his ability to catch the ball. Philly is going to throw. Their RB has to be effective in the passing game.
Nick (NYC)
Do you think the jets may trade for cutler or trade up for sanchez?
Matt Williamson (12:15 PM)
Check out my article in the AFC East blog section about Cutler going to any of those four teams. He surely would be an upgrade for NYJ, but is he want R Ryan wants behind center? His risk taking and turnovers would drive Ryan nuts. Like I said, I love Sanchez and would be very aggressive to land him if I were in charge of NYJ, TBay, etc.
david (baltimore)
hey what do you think the ravens are going to do in the draft and in free agency
Matt Williamson (12:15 PM)
O Pace is still an option from what I understand, but overall, it is time to focus on the draft. I would expect them to target smaller guys (WR and CB) early in the draft now that they signed LJ Smith.
MJ (Boston)
What are the differences with Jay Cutler and Jeff George, besides the funky mullet and 70's porn-stache?
Matt Williamson (12:17 PM)
Have heard those comparisons and there is certainly some validity to them. Cutler has not exactly acted incredibly mature during this whole situation either. Still, he has had success at this level, has every physical tool that you look for and has to be considered safer than someone like Freeman or Stafford. Got to take risks to acquire a possible franchise QB-no way around that.
Chris, Minny
Is Heyward-Bey going to be the next Troy Williamson?
Matt Williamson (12:18 PM)
Has some strikingly similiar qualities, huh? Was very underused at Maryland though and I do think he is getting better and better. Catches the ball better than Williamson (no relation) though by a large margin. When you play WR, catching the football is rather important.
Matt (Chicago)
Jerry Angelo has said that he is "fixated on stabilizing the quarterback position". Apparently signing Basanez is the stabilization they had in mind. Why have they not at least called Denver??? The 18th overall pick and Orton would be a nice deal. If he's on record saying that and doesn't call Denver, what does that tell you?
Matt Williamson (12:19 PM)
You may have answered your own question. He seems to be actiing like the economy has hurt his team more than most. Shallow pockets.
Doug (North Carolina)
Matt, any chance Jay Cutler ends up in Carolina in a trade for Peppers or someone else?
Matt Williamson (12:20 PM)
Wow. Not sure how they swing that with Delhomme in the fold, but Car does need to start thinking long term at that position and Denver surely could use Peppers.
Since Vinny Cerrato is telling everyone who'll listen that the Redskins don't want Cutler isn't it basically a done deal he'll be in DC in '09?
Matt Williamson (12:21 PM)
You are very wise. Seems like a perfect fit, huh? Actually, Wash/Zorn needs to find a quick release, quick decision making QB who doesn't make many mistakes. Campbell isn't that guy and neither is Cutler.
Cameron (Boise, ID)
Hey Matt! Enough with all the Cutler talk! Who do you think the Chargers take with there first pick? Would it not make sense to trade it for more late round picks?
Matt Williamson (12:22 PM)
I look at SD's roster and think that they need quality more than quantity, so I say stay there at pick the best OT (Smith/Oher) avaliable and plug him in on the right side. SS is another big need, but not one to fill in the first round.
Stephen (Graves)
What is going on with the Browns and the Broncos?!?! There are all kinds of rumors right now in Ohio about Cutler going to Detroit and Cleveland trading Anderson or Quinn to the Broncos?
Matt Williamson (12:22 PM)
Have heard those as well and I could certainly see why the Browns' new staff would not be completely on board with Quinn or esp DA.
Doug (North Carolina)
Who in you opinion, is the best defensive end in this year's draft?
Matt Williamson (12:24 PM)
Orakpo. Would like to see him give 100% on a more consistent basis, but the other guys have a lot of questions about them as well. With this draft more than any other in recent memory, I find myself focusing on each of these top players' negative traits. Is it just that this draft isn't up to par or I am getting cynical in my old age? Probably both.
Tedy Blessed (Arkansas)
For him to show how great of a QB he is Orton needs another targert in The Chi. This will also free up hester. Do you think Marvin Harrison or they will draft a wide out.
Matt Williamson (12:27 PM)
I don't see Marvin being a good fit there at all. Remember he came from a timing based passing attack in a dome recieving the ball from a HOF QB. That isn't the case in Chicago. But yes, they must find a true #1 WR. If you look to the draft and take someone like Heyward-Bey or Nicks, you still have to expect a rookie learning curve. Holt? Much like Marvin, he had his best days in a similiar dome/rythm situation. Big problem for Chi-Town.
cody (huntsville, alabama)
do you think its a better chance for buffalo to grab pettigrew to build up that pass offense alongside owens and evans?
Matt Williamson (12:28 PM)
Maybe, but that is high for Pettigrew. I bet they like him a lot though because they can also run behind him in short yardage situations and Pettigrew would also help their OTs in protection. Good fit there and remember, TO only signed a one year deal.
MIke (Houston)
Would this be a good draft for the Texans...Cushing in rd.1...Brace in rd. 2...and S.Greene or A.Brown in rd. 3.
Matt Williamson (12:29 PM)
I like it a lot and expect Houston to finally get over that 8-8 hump next year. Not so sure that Brace will be there in the middle of round 2 though. Probably a lot of people who have the same idea as you concerning Brace.
Kevin (New York)
Was it smart for the Giants to keep Plax? If not who should they grab???
Matt Williamson (12:30 PM)
Not sure that they have a whole lot of other options. Boldin would be the only other guy who would really interest me-but are the Cards dealing him or not?
Chris, MN
Three way trade: Cutler to the Vikings, Quinn to Denver, Browns receive #22 and third rd pick from Vikes? Far fetched?
Matt Williamson (12:31 PM)
Denver can get more for Cutler than just Quinn and Clev would be getting too much for Quinn in that scenerio.
Brad (MS)
I agree that this is a weak draft. There could be value late in the 1st, though, if Moreno and Petitgrew are available.
Matt Williamson (12:32 PM)
That is a good point. Really just a bad year to be a bad football team picking high is more like it.
Lawrence (Barstow Ca.)
How do you think the Steelers will spend their pick?
Matt Williamson (12:33 PM)
Some names to consider: Alphonso Smith, Darius Butler, Alex Mack, Max Unger, Eric Wood, Ziggy Hood. Wouldn't argue with any of those, although they might be able to trade down a few slots to get one. WR is also in the equation. Would consider trading up for Britton as well.
jake (Mayville, WI)
what do you think the colts will do in the draft
Matt Williamson (12:35 PM)
DT is the biggest need and someone like Jerry, Brace or Hood would make a lot of sense, but Indy is a team that uses first round picks on players to surround Manning....so I am betting on WR. Even a guy like Robiskie could fit their style. A sleeper pick could be at RB.
mojo (Castle Rock, CO)
Suppose Marshall gets 8 games. Do the Broncos hold the line with Royal and Stokely, or do they draft WR at some point?
Matt Williamson (12:35 PM)
Tough situation because they just need so much more help on D. They did sign Gaffney, who might be enough to hold down the fort and Scheffler is a good recieving TE.
Cody Philly
Matt, Bucs give 1st and 5th picks plus rights to Jake the snake back to Denver, everyones happy right?
Matt Williamson (12:37 PM)
LOL-The rights to Jake the Snake? Why don't they throw in a box of kicking tees as well? Maybe a copy of the TBay Bucs' 1983 NFL Films Season in Review to seal the deal?
gary kubiak
i worked with this cutler kid before. hes not bad..should i trade schaub and a 3rd rounder for him? you think denver will bite on this?
Matt Williamson (12:37 PM)
No reason to do such thing Gary. Stick with your guy. Things are looking up in Houston. Don't rock the boat.
Mike (Boston)
Has any QB ever been more spoiled than Peyton? Must be rough to have 1st rounders everywhere. I'd like to see him have to play with the ragtag receivers Brady did for all but one season.
Matt Williamson (12:38 PM)
Manning also plays in a dome. Not bashing Manning here-very big fan. But you bring up good points. Indy has also been quite wise with the way they have designed their team around Peyton.
Jr (Boston)
Do you the see the Pats packaging their 1st and one of their second to try to move up in the draft if the player they want is in the teens?
Matt Williamson (12:39 PM)
Very well could. They are not big on giving rookies huge contracts, but if there is one stud who starts to fall, they could surely be aggressive.
gary kubiak
thanks matt..youre right. i dont need to pull a josh mcdaniels down here in houston.
Matt Williamson (12:40 PM)
Yeah, what if you start talking trade, it doesn't go through and all of a sudden Schaub gets all offended? Joking of course, but to me, the crime that McDaniels and company committed was not landing Cassel. If you are going to open that door, you have to dive through it at 100%. Can't just dip your big toe in the water. Dive in.
Nick (SLC)
How would you grade AJ Smiths performance so far in SD? Should he be let go?
Matt Williamson (12:41 PM)
Don't have to like him, but the guy is top notch at his job. What teams in the NFL have had a better roster than SD over the past five years or so? It seems like they enter most of the recent drafts without glaring needs.
Ryan Easton
I just heard a rumor on the radio, Cutler to Washington for Cambell. any truth to this rumor?
Matt Williamson (12:41 PM)
No idea. LOTs of rumors right now surrounding Cutler.
Bigger mistake, Sanchez not returning to school for another year, or A. Smith at the combine?
Matt Williamson (12:42 PM)
Smith by far.
Brian (Cleveland)
Any truth to the current trade rumors between the Browns and Broncos? I heard Quinn & Rogers for Cutler and all master copies of "The Drive" which will be destroyed immediately upon arriving in Berea.
Matt Williamson (12:42 PM)
Sounds fair
True Mike, NJ
Besides Curry, who are the best 4-3 strongside linebackers in the draft?
Matt Williamson (12:43 PM)
I see that as Cushing's role. Many want to project him to a 3-4 OLB because of his size, but he really isn't a top shelf pass rusher.
Scott (SD)
I have not been impressed by AJ Smith's decision making. He gave up way to much for average starters Weddle and Hester. Waters and Siler were supposed to be furture starters, but they cut Waters and signed Burnett. And Cromartie was a one year wonder in 07.
Matt Williamson (12:44 PM)
Cromartie had a hip problem-wait and see on him. He was quite good two years ago. I agree very much on Hester in particular. But bro, you are complaining about a few mid round picks here and there. Pull up the Lions' draft over the past ten years! Everyone misses on guys here and there.
Rich (Bayonne, NJ)
If Maclin or Crabtree are there, the Niners have to take him at #10 right? The they can draft either Sintim or English as an OLB or Moore or Delmas at Safety.
Matt Williamson (12:45 PM)
The only reason I could see them pasing on Crabtree/Maclin would be to nab a OT to play opposite Staley. But, With Oak and Jax picking ahead of of SF, I don't expect either of those WRs to be available.
John Boy (Cincinnati)
How bout a Bengals question? I think it's either Crabtree with Ocho leaving or OT with Levi taking a walk...
Matt Williamson (12:47 PM)
Yeah, hard to argue with that. I like Crabtree more than the OT they will likely get, but I also see OT as the bigger need since they have Henry, 85, Coles, Caldwell and Simpson, who has been slow to grow. Don't discount the need for a pass rusher either. Cincy really struggled getting to opposing QBs last year. Also, if Raji is there, you just might have to nab him, although their DTs are promising.
Browns Fans (Cleveland)
Make sure Scott (SD) knows we passed on Tomlinson, McNabb, AP and many more.
Matt Williamson (12:47 PM)
pattydread (rocky mountains)
Wouldn't the Packers be wise to keep adding weapons to the franchise Aaron Rodgers--like the colts have done over the years for Peyton?
Matt Williamson (12:49 PM)
Yes and they have done that. Didn't see the benefits last year, but they used a first round pick on a WR and another early pick on a TE, Finly. Will see the benefits of those picks going forward. Also, don't forget, Peyton and Rodgers play in very different climates, which comes into play heavily at the end of the season and come playoff time.
Todd (Cinci)
I partially agree with your analysis of the Bengals DTs. Sims has a bright future, but Peko is bad.
Matt Williamson (12:49 PM)
Don't agree on Peko. He certainly isn't flashy, but he holds the point.
Kevin (New York)
What team is most likely to pick up MArvin Harrison? wouldnt that be a great pick up for the Jets??
Matt Williamson (12:50 PM)
He and Holt are tough for me. Tenn? Would assume that neither player wants to go to a team that isn't a contender. Carolina? I suppose the Jets wouldn't be a terrible fit.
Jay Atlanta
Is there any hope for the Raiders? & Any Chance Cutler ends up with the bears?
Matt Williamson (12:51 PM)
Chi is a real good fit for him in my opinion, but I can't say that I expect their decision makers to get real aggressive to obtain him. Hope for the Raiders? I really don't see it. But, they do get to play KC and Den each twice next year!
Paul (Albany, OR)
Before folks start picking on Manning for the things he benefits from can anybody remember how many games he led them to victory with a defense that resembled a spaghetti strainer? Brady has always had a very solid defense to assist him. Not bashing him, but there are many facets to that discussion.
Matt Williamson (12:53 PM)
Many facets. One thing I am sure of though is that we all should tell our kids and the next generation about these two. I wouldn't be surprised-when it is all said and done-that they are right on top when talking about the best players to ever play the position. Enjoy
CC (Atlanta)
Will Cushing and/or Matthews be there for the Falcons at #24?
Matt Williamson (12:54 PM)
Maybe both. Wouldn't go that direction though. I can live with their LBs and would prefer that they got more DL help. Safety is another big need, but not that early.
Mike (Indy)
Would E.Brown be a good choice for the Green Bay defense at #9? If he's there.
Matt Williamson (12:56 PM)
Seems like someone who could very well end up in GBay. But...to focus on his negatives: FSU DEs have been actrocious in the NFL. He is shorter and slower than expected. He got most of his sacks in just a few games. He would be making a position switch and needs to prove that he can play the game in reverse. I do not doubt that Brown is a good pass rusher and he gets off the ball very well. He might end up being a fine pro and I wouldn't be overly critical of GBay if they did in fact make that move....but it isn't a sure bet!
Kevin (New York)
I know its still early, but which team is going to sneek up on everyone this season?
Matt Williamson (12:57 PM)
Houston comes to mind immediatly. Does New Orleans qualify?
Luke (Atlanta)
I heard there is talk of a three way trade between Denver, Washington and Kansas City. Ulitmately, the Skins would end up with Cutler. You think there is any truth to this?
Matt Williamson (12:57 PM)
Who knows. A lot of threeway rumors going on right now. Hmmm...
Jared in AZ
Charger fans will miss watching Cutler sob on the bench twice a year. Oh Well!
Matt Williamson (12:58 PM)
Indeed. SD is SO far ahead of those other teams in the AFC West right now. They are going to moonwalk to a playoff spot.
josh mcdaniels
hi matt. quick question. you think pat bowlen misses coach shanahan right now? i dont know about him but i kind of do.
Matt Williamson (12:59 PM)
If I were a Denver fan, I would miss Shanny.
Eric (Sioux City)
Packer fans can only hope E.Brown works out as well as their Jamal Reynolds pick. That was a good trade, though, Hasselbeck to move up five spots for Reynolds.
Matt Williamson (12:59 PM)
...or Andre Wadsworth. Kamerion Wimbley is in that discussion as well. There are others.
Nate (Madison)
With so many questionmarks at DE/OLB for the 3-4 format at least around pick #9, wouldn't Green Bay almost be better trading down and getting another pick and filling more then one need on defense with those picks?
Matt Williamson (1:00 PM)
Wouldn't argue with that. Did I mention that switching to a 3-4 is simply a terrible decision for the Packers?
CC (Atlanta)
Uh Matt... SD was 8-8 with that team last year. You seem to forget that Norv Turner is STILL the head coach.
Matt Williamson (1:01 PM)
That is an excellent point and he very well could Norv it all up, but the other teams in that division are quite horrible right now.
Will in Chatt, TN
could you see the Titans trading for Cutler, maybe adding Vince Young in the deal?
Matt Williamson (1:02 PM)
Thought about Tenn, but not sure you mess with a team that was a contender a year ago. As for VY, I am not sure he has any more value than that bag of kicking tees that TBay was going to throw in for Cutler.
Matt Williamson (1:03 PM)
Okay folks. I am about Cutlered out. I really hope something happens with him soon. More excited to talk about the new fit than all these scenerios. But, I am out. Take care all.
