Thread: Clarence Moore Released
Re: Clarence Moore Released
Let us wish Clarence well in his life endeavors and turn our attention to the job at hand. Onward and forward.ENFORCE THE 1ST AMENDMENT WITH THE SECOND, NEVER DISARM
Re: Clarence Moore Released
I don't think it was he didn't have the heart, it was more like he didn't have the aggressiveness & meanness to succeed at his position. Good luck to Clarence as he moves on, a too nice guy.

Re: Clarence Moore ReleasedI liked him and I think if that throw would have been a bit higher, he would have caught it....Not taking anything away from McNair, but Boller makes that throw.. Boller has a very nice angle on that fade jump ball.
Him letting Champ Bailey catch the ball like he was actually the intended receiver is why I think he's gone.
The play call in itself was pretty stupid IMO to begin with since it's the only play Moore sees the field to begin with, but that's another discussion.
The fact that he did absolutely nothing to try and prevent the INT. or fight for the ball is why he's gone.
You simply cannot let that be an INT. and loose the minimum 3 point field goal in that situation.
Either catch the ball, knock it out of the way or commit offensive pass interference.
Anything to preserve possession!!
He did nothing but jump up and hope the ball was going to be there.
If he hasn't gotten down the fundamentals of playing the receiver position in the only situation he is called upon to perform, then he never will.:hammer:
Don't know anything about the Haley kid, but linebacker is not as big of need as other poisitions are right now regarding depth.
I can only assume and hope that he's a special teams guy that's being brought in to fill in for an ailing Corey Ivy and Gary Stills.

Re: Clarence Moore Released
yeah he should have tried harder to knock it down, but if this ball is thrown properly even champ bailey has no chance........
Re: Clarence Moore ReleasedEither catch the ball, knock it out of the way or commit offensive pass interference.

McNair took three steps back and launched the ball in Moores general direction.
Moore had no balls to start with, and his off season surgery to have a pair attached was obviously a failure.we aren't just loyal, we are obsessed. and we are violently so. we are baltimore, and we are the epitome of dysfunctionality.

Re: Clarence Moore Released
The positive is that Moore is still young enough to return to college and choose another profession. I wish Moore the best, but he just does not have it for NFL football. Now, he could always go CFL.
As for where we go, I am excited that this means more playing time for Demetrius, but could this mean that another WR is coming in to take the 4th slot? (Charles Rogers? Randy Moss? *nah on Moss*)It's a new season! It's a new day!

Re: Clarence Moore Released
Hope not to start a conspiracy theory -- but this is so unlike Billick and the coaching staff based on the last couple of years of behavior.
Wonder if Bisciotti got involved in any way?
Aaron this is where you can help us out!!

Re: Clarence Moore Released
I can't help but feel a little sorry for the guy. He was supposed to be the next great thing at WR. But then I remember how he played...hope some CFL team takes a look at you Clarence!
The only issue I have with this move is promoting a LB to take his spot. Granted, we had inactive WRs, but I get the feeling the active spot will be filled by Haley, and not the man who SHOULD be active...Dan Cody!
As for signing a WR, I'd say we'll either grab Travis LaTenderesse and stash him on the P Sq, or go for a WR recently cut in the 53 man cutdown. Charles Rogers is a remote possibility..
When I think of a Baltimore Raven - we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. Thats the Baltimore Raven way. - Steve Smith Sr.

The five colors are black, aqua, purple, red, and yellow. The inbetween colors are just a bunch of short lines in one color over the other color. I figured lines would be just as admissible as the comic book-like dots. (are those called half tones?)

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. - Chris Mooney grabbed his 150th Division I coaching win as the Richmond men's basketball team defeated Wofford 64-58 Tuesday in the Nation of Coaches Classic Tuesday at the Robins Center.
Richmond is off to a 4-1 start for the third time in the last four seasons and it is the 30th time in 100 seasons of Spider basketball that Richmond has started 4-1 or better.
Playing without starting point guard Cedrick Lindsay, sophomore Kendall Anthony had a career-high 24 points in his second career start to lead Richmond. Junior Derrick Williams tallied his sixth career double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds, while senior Darien Brothers chipped in 13 points.
After a back-and-forth first half, the Spiders seized control of the game at the start of the second half, going on a 12-3 run to take a 38-27 lead with 12:36 left in the game. Richmond's defense was smothering to start the final frame, not allowing Wofford to score for the first 6:36 of the half.
With Anthony's timely scoring and strong defense, the Spiders defeated the Terriers, 64-58, moving their record to 3-0 in Nation of Coaches Classic games this season.
Richmond scored 14 points off 11 Wofford turnovers on Tuesday night, allowing the Terriers to shoot just 35.7 percent from the floor on 20-of-56 shooting. The Spiders out-rebounded Wofford, 38-33, and out-scored the Terriers in the paint, 26-22.
Senior Greg Robbins filled the stat sheet, totaling nine points, eight rebounds and four assists, while redshirt freshman Alonzo Nelson-Ododa added four points and grabbed five boards.
The Richmond Spiders will head to Athens to face the Ohio Bobcats on Saturday afternoon in the title game of the Nation of Coaches Classic. Tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m.
NOTES: The Spiders improved to 44-8 in its last 52 home games and to 31-4 in its last 35 home non-conference contests...the Spiders are 14-1 in regular-season tournament play over the last four seasons...the Spiders are averaging 10.8 steals per game and forcing 17.8 turnovers per game through five contests.

Home Courts, Judges and Politics led by Mark Wolf PRIMARY TABS View(active tab) Edit Convert Log Keywords Devel Date & Time: Thursday, April 24, 2014 - 4:00pm Event Type: Study Groups 8. April 24, 2014 – From the Pentagon Papers to Edward Snowden The guest speaker will be James Greenfield, the New York Times editor of the Pentagon Papers. This session will explore the role of the courts in balancing the interests of free speech and national security historically and in the internet age. In 1971, the unauthorized disclosure of the Pentagon Papers, a classified history of the VietNam war, exposed systematic lies by the administration of President Lyndon Johnson to Congress and the American people, and led to a Supreme Court ruling that makes it very difficult for the government to obtain court orders prohibiting publication of classified information. As a result, the government has increasingly relied on the threat of criminal prosecution to deter such disclosures. The advent of the internet has raised the risks for the government and the media. The courts are now again challenged to decide competing, compelling claims of fundamental importance to the future of American democracy. Trevor Timm, co-founder and the executive director of the Freedom of the Press Foundation, will also join the study group. He is a writer, activist, and lawyer who specializes in free speech and government transparency issues. His work has appeared in The Atlantic, Al Jazeera,Foreign Policy, The Guardian, Harvard Law and Policy Review, Politico, PBS MediaShift and Salon.

Pinkerton saxophone player receives national honor
By HUNTER McGEE
Union Leader Correspondent | October 08. 2013 10:23PM
Adam Claussen, a junior from Pinkerton Academy, stands on the stage of the school's Stockbridge Theater with his alto saxophone Tuesday. Claussen has been named to the All-National Honor Ensemble. He is the first student musician from Pinkerton to receive the honor. (HUNTER McGEE PHOTO)
Now Claussen's devotion to music has earned him a place on the prestigious All-National Honor Ensembles, the first time a student from the school has received the honor, said Chip Underhill, Pinkerton's executive director of public affairs.
Claussen said the ensembles are similar to the All-State Honor Ensembles in New Hampshire. Although he prefers jazz, Claussen auditioned for the classical ensemble and submitted a video online. Students were required to submit a two-minute selection of the piece used for their all-state audition.
He has been practicing a lot more lately as he prepares to make the trip to Nashville, and he has to submit a re-auditioned recording by midnight Friday to determine seat placement. Claussen said he and a friend from Maine are competing, in a friendly way, for that seat.
"Classical-wise, I don't have a huge pallet of inspiration," Claussen said. "I think jazz is my real passion. I want to ultimately end up doing more with jazz."
Ultimately, Claussen said he would like to become a college music professor.
The All-National Honor Ensembles are scheduled to run from Sunday, Oct. 27, to Wednesday, Oct. 30.

There's been a lot in the news lately about size and size acceptance. At Junonia we have an inclusive philosophy-we want EVERY woman to feel great in her body and to embrace her active life. That's why we focus on plus-size activewear.
Marilyn Wann, size acceptance advocate, recently published some great ideas for ALL people, but with special words for large women:
- Don't put your life on hold. Do something that you've been telling yourself you'll do after you lose weight. It might be a trying a sport, buying a new outfit, applying for a high-profile job, or asking somebody on a date.
- Swear off dieting. Food addiction, or compulsive overeating, is often a reaction to dieting, which can be an addiction in itself. Many people find that when they stop restricting food, they also stop abusing or overusing it.
- Be a subject, not an object. Women's bodies have been scrutinised for so long in our society that it's easy to lose sight of what it's like to live inside them. Use deep breathing, meditation and movement to help you experience your body from the inside out.
- Ask for support. Tell health care providers that you don't think weight loss dieting is realistic or healthy, and ask them not to make it part of your treatment plan. Ask what medical advice they'd give a thin person with the same complaints or conditions. Ask friends to avoid diet talk or deprecating remarks about your body or theirs, even if mutual commiseration about struggling with your weight has been a bonding experience in the past.
- Move your body. Research shows that women who are exercising are happier with their bodies and their size, regardless of whether they're losing weight. Find out what forms of exercise you enjoy. Try movement that's not a prescribed regimen but simply a part of your life, such as dancing or walking. Check with a doctor about any new exercise plan. One who's familiar with the concept of health at every size will have ideas about which exercises large bodies can do and benefit from.
And when you are ready to try something new, or to trade up to a great new swimsuit—check us out! www.junonia.com We hope we help you feel comfortable in the skin you are in!

Posted by Ted Schadler on the Application Development & Delivery Professionals Blog on December 2, 2010
The General Services Administration made a bold decision to move its email and collaboration systems to the cloud. In the RFP issued last June, it was easy to see their goals in the statement of objectives:
This Statement of Objectives (SOO) describes the goals that GSA expects to achieve with regard to the
1. modernization of its e-mail system;
2. provision of an effective collaborative working environment;
3. reduction of the government's in-house system maintenance burden by providing related business, technical, and management functions; and
4. application of appropriate security and privacy safeguards.
GSA announced yesterday that they choose Google Apps for email and collaboration and Unisys as the implementation partner.
So what does this mean?
What it means (WIM) #1: GSA employees will be using a next-generation information workplace. And that means mobile, device-agnostic, and location-agile. Gmail on an iPad? No problem. Email from a home computer? Yep. For GSA and for every other agency and most companies, it's important to give employees the tools to be productive and engage from every location on every device. "Work becomes a thing you do and not a place you go." [Thanks to Earl Newsome of Estee Lauder for that quote.]

While there are many requirements that comprise total student eligibility, a summary of those are presented on the above website. Additional information is available on the FAFSA application itself or by speaking with a financial aid representative.
SAP requirements vary between colleges, although they all comprise some basic levels of GPA and progress requirements. To fully understand the SAP policy at Foothill College please review the website above. Additionally, there is a summary table posted within every financial aid student's MyPortal account and financial aid representatives are available for any needed clarification.
Please carefully review the above webpage to fully understand when the regularly scheduled disbursements happen each quarter and for each financial aid fund type. Realize that some students receive their funds in their first quarter not on the regular schedule due to file completion date, but they get it in a subsequent week. Additionally, the second website is necessary to select how a student wants to receive their financial aid refunds from Foothill College. Please seek answers to any questions from a financial aid representative.
While Federal Work-Study has federal eligibility requirements, identified on our financial aid eligibility page referenced at the top of this page, there are some fund and college specific requirements that are referenced on the webpages immediately above. Please be aware that Federal Work-Study is a limited fund, so runs out of funds very quickly in any given academic year. Please seek answers to any questions from a financial aid representative.
At Foothill College student borrowers can come and go on a quarterly basis. Due to this more transient nature of our student population we have instituted the policy of requiring an exit interview whenever a student drops below the minimum of 6 units of enrollment. While this can be waived if the student immediately enrolls again in the following quarter, completion of the Exit interview process by the student is also a viable way to clear that requirement. If in doubt completing the Exit interview process will remind the student of their responsibilities when borrowing funds and is positive feedback on their debt levels. If there are any questions please seek answers from a financial aid representative.

Information For...
Student Support Services
The bookstore stocks all of the supplies required by the faculty and students for their programs, as well as paper, pencils, pens, etc. If you require special instruments for your class, notify the bookstore manager as soon as possible at the beginning of the semester.
The bookstore at the Reese Center is located in Building 2 and the bookstore on the Levelland Campus is located in the Student Center.
As institutions of higher learning, colleges sometimes tend to dwell on the development of the student academically and fail to recognize the variety of needs that students possess. This is one of the reasons counseling and guidance has become a basic foundation of South Plains College.
The Counselors, along with you as part of the faculty, will make available a comprehensive counseling service geared to meet the individual and group needs of students. The growth and development of the individual as a whole person is the goal of the Counseling staff.
In order to work toward this goal of total development, the Counselors will offer services in a variety of program areas. A more extensive discussion of services is available in the Student Handbook.
Counseling services are offered with no tuition or fee charge other than those required for specialized testing and those fees are nominal.
This particular service will be offered in a joint effort by the faculty and Counseling staff in the form of a Faculty Advisement Program. The Counselors will function in an integral supportive capacity in that the counseling staff will work with non-majors, will assist any student who needs additional help deciding on a curriculum or scheduling, and will refer students to the proper faculty advisors.
These services include the use of the Career Lab on a drop-in basis. Computer-based programs, videos, on-site workshops, and individualized job search assistance are available. In addition, the Counseling area offers a variety of services that include the following: Career Counseling, Vocational Counseling, Placement and Follow-Up, and Testing.
Most basic in our philosophy of guidance and counseling is a deep concern for the student and his/her welfare. The Counseling staff will be available to reach out to the student who is dealing with personal problems. A community referral system is offered to the student who may need services not available in the Counseling area.
Financial Aid/Veterans Affairs Services
The educational opportunities of capable students should not be limited because of their financial resources. The primary responsibility for financing rests with the student and his/her family; however, it is recognized that many students will require further financial assistance in order to finance their education. The objective of the Financial Aid program is to provide assistance based on documented financial need to students unable to attend college without such aid.
Financial Aid is available in various types of grants, loans, and scholarships.

Help me find the right springs
I have a 54 Chevy with a big block. I am new to this forum but I am presently using 74-78 V8 springs with a coil cut out. After 500 miles the spring has settled and my lower arms are no longer parallel to the street. The ride is horrible (it was before) so what springs should I use. Someone named Centerline seemed knowledgeable and it would be great to hear from him and others. I was thinking of dropped spindles and not cutting the springs. Mainly I want a nice ride without knocking my fillings out.
with my personal experience with cutting springs you never cut a half coil cause its alot. i usually get the right ride height with a 1/4 cut of a coil.
if you have a small block or a big block with aluminum heads a small block spring will be perfect. if its a iron headed big block u big block springs and just cut a 1/8 th of a spring out and it should be good.
i think you should just get new springs and shocks and install them as is, if you think its a little too high then cut out a 1/8 of a coil at a time, cutting coils changes the spring rate so you want as much coil as you can get.
It depends a lot on the spring rate of the spring. My 48 chevy p/u for example. I ended up cutting a little over a full coil out to get it where it needed to be and the ride is great. I have another set of springs that were a different rate and cutting a coil on those would not have been good. Find out where you need it and get the springs to match.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Gazpacho, Jan 29, 2011.
I'm considering using it but would like to hear about others' experiences first. Thanks!
Yes. The food is gross. But it works. You lose weight pretty easily, as long as you can choke the food down. It worked for me just because the food IS so gross. You REALLY don't finish a meal and say wow, that was so good I wish I could have some more! It fills the hole in your tummy without giving you the urge for seconds.
The freeze-dried burgers are pretty darn good. Surprisingly good. Sounds raunchy, they look nasty, but after sopping up hot water for a minute they actually become edible. The pizzas are tolerable. Stay away from the tuna casserole, whatever you do.
Someone once stole my shipment from the porch and they sent out a replacement shipment right away. They send stuffed bears for every ten pounds you lose. It sounds really corny, but you actually start to look forward to receiving those rainbow bears.
Oh yeah, there's a phenomena called the NutriToots because you get really, really gassy for the first few weeks.
But it works.
I have a friend who tried it, but couldn't stand it because the food was so horrible.
Thanks for sharing. Other than the ones you mentioned, are there any other foods to steer toward or away from?
Tried it for perhaps a month a few years back. I agree the food is disgusting. I gave half of it away. The snacks and desserts are tolerable
My sister used the plan that was five days a week, weekends off. She did it for a month and dropped seven pounds. It really did teach her portion control.
And she didn't mind the food. There was only one thing that she couldn't stand, but I don't remember what it was.
Um, was it .... The Food ?
No. It was one of the soups, I think.
The best thing to do with NS is to let them give you the "variety pack" or whatever it's called for the first shipment. You'll learn in the first month which foods are tolerable and which foods are too revolting to ever let into your house again.
For breakfast I always leaned towards the dry cereals and the breakfast bars. Powdered eggs? No thanks. The pancake mix wasn't bad, but I just didn't feel like bothering with that. I still follow the NS idea of breakfast, even though I don't eat the food. I eat a small bowl of cereal, a hard-boiled egg and a piece of fruit. NS really does train you in portion control. Now, whether or not you actually choose to put that information to use with real food is another matter, but at least you know what a controlled portion is.
For lunches I mostly chose the "just add water to the cup" products. I liked the split pea soup, the Mexican Tortilla soup, and the pasta cups like fettuccine alfredo. I even liked the chicken salad, but I think a lot of people would probably be squicked out by it.
The dinners are hit and miss, and that's something you'll just have to figure out through trial and error. They use Splenda in a couple of them and I can't stand what Splenda does on my tongue so I couldn't tolerate those. I generally leaned towards the burger, the pizza, rotini with meatballs, chicken and dumplings and the lasagna.
The desserts and snacks are pretty ok across the board.
My coach is on Nutrisystem and has lost a ton of weight (though she works out a ton as well). The food looks/smells absolutely disgusting to me, and the portions are very small. I lost a lot of weight years ago on my own system - non-fat yogurt with fruit for breakfast, Lean Cuisine for lunch, salad with vinegar and smidgen of oil for dinner. It worked and it was cheap. Some people need structure, though, where I can see Nutrisystem works.
I've also tried Slim Fast - BLECH!
I have many friends and family who swear by Weight Watchers, but to me it seems like AA for foodaholics, and sometimes the more I talk about food, the more I want, so I think it would actually make me more obsessed!
I did the same to lose about 30 pounds many years back. Breakfast shake in the morning, very lightly dressed salad at lunch, and a small piece of meat with veg for dinner. It was BORING, but after I got used to it, the weight dropped off fairly quickly.
Sounds great, I like the structured diets. I did a VLCD diet to blast off the weight Id gained from steroids. 50lb off in just over 4 months and it's stayed off for a year as that really taught me a lot about portion control as well.
I found it easier cos diets such as WW etc make me obsess more over food, wondering where I can use my points and thinking non stop re the next meal. End up thinking more about food than ever. Stuff like a VLCD or this sort of diet where you have your meals delivered or you pick them up for the week takes that away. Hope it does the trick for you!
ETA - I see Bonita more or less said exactly the same thing! LOL!
I know people who have lost weight on the pre-packaged food programs, but in most cases, it came back on. But note, I said in 'most cases'. I think the same can be said for any weight management program -- different things work for different people. I tried Jenny Craig and grew to hate it because I found the 'counsellors' rather condescending. I'm one who hates having to go to meetings and 'check in' with others, so WeightWatchers Online has been perfect for me. I'm learning portion control without having to go to meetings.
But...whatever works for you!
Not me!
Now where are my congratulatory mittens?
i tried it for a month in previous times and it was so disgusting I ended up throwing most of it out. I'm not a fan of the "buy our stuff" diets because once you stop eating their "stuff" the weight goes back on. If anything, go for weight watchers where you can make your own meals....
My sister has not gained back the weight she lost on Nutrisystem, because it showed her how much she was over-eating. It's all about what you learn from it.
I have no experience with this but I did notice last time Nutrisystem was on the Shopping Channel, they said that it was improved. I can't remember if they said so specifically, but I took that to mean taste wise, since that's always been the complaint.
Might mean nothing, but I thought I'd mention it.
How much do these programs stress exercise? Because in my experience, unless you are making a habit of working out to the point where you need a nap afterwards, all the "portion control" in the world isn't going to do you a bit of good.
I bought a couple of Nutrisystem overstock dinners at Big Lots. It didn't taste that bad.
This guide has a lot of good information: http://www.epicurious.com/articlesguides/healthy/news/dietdelivery_nutrisystem
It's interesting to note that the vegetarian plan apparently tastes a lot better.
These struck me as well, from The Nutritionist's Take at the bottom:
I tried Nutrisystem a few years ago and really liked it. I lost about 55 pounds on the program, but I also exercised like a dog. Perhaps my palate is not as sophisticated as some others who have posted, but I didn't think the food was that bad. It is a diet, so the fat and sugars are cut down, but I expected as much. I chose a plan that had both prepackaged foods and also frozen foods that were delivered separately. Breakfasts were things like cereal, muffins, granola bars, egg white omelets, pankakes, and the odd breakfast burrito. The forzen lunches were similar to Hot Pockets, and the pre-packaged ones were things like tortilla soup, black bean soup, and - gosh, I can't remember. Dinners were mainly microwave dinners- the frozen ones were tastier, but there were only about 6 or so options. The prepackaged ones had more variety. Portion sizes seemed small initially, but after a few days, I didn't even notice, and remarkably, I was never hungry. There are afternoon snacks and evening snacks- things like ice cream sundaes and sandwiches, which were quite good, and a variety of salty mixes and bland coockies and things like lemon bars that were dense but served their purpose. All in all, I didn't find the food to be all that bad, but what got me over time was the lack of variety. Fortunately, by the time I started feeling that, I had lost more weight than I had ever intended to lose, and I learned a lot about portion control, so I didn't need the plan any more. You can certainly lose weight easily with other methods, but Nutrisystem is really easy and convenient.
NS pushes exercise, but that wasn't my problem area because I was already exercising when I started their program. My problem was portion control, and I already drank a lot of water, so I had half the battle already won going into the program.
I am actually on it right now and maybe its just me but I don't find the food that bad
For me it's great because I work full time and teach part time so I am always on the run and its so easy with this plan as the food is there are ready and takes 90 seconds...
For breakfast I really like the chocolate muffins and the cereal too, the portions are really tiny though but apparently that is what we are supposed to eat
The chocolate bars for desert are excellent - my favourite being the chocolate mint - tastes just like a yorkie.. also the peanut butter ones are yummy, I really look forward to them at night..
The lunches and dinners for me have been hit and miss - like southpaw said get a variety pack.. I also love the freeze dried burger.. and also the sausage rice and lasagna.. I even like the pizza bread thing.. not been a huge fan of the lunches but do like the split pea soup and the bean soup..
What has worked for me (I have lost 7 pounds in the first 2.5 weeks) is that I'm eating so many fresh vegetables and fruit.. which if you knew me would be shocking (my athlete daughter is impressed).. initially because I was starving - well the first few days and now I'm kinda hooked on having a small entree and a plate of veggies.. grocery shopping is very easy I just go to market and pick up fruit and veg for the week - costs about $20 and that's it as the rest of the food is provided..
For people who are too busy to cook, on the run and need portion control - its much easier than weight watchers. Plus the food is delivered too.. so easy..
We are celebrating our 25th with a trip to Europe so that is my motivation I want new clothes
I think I'm going to do it for another month and then when the weight loss is done I'm going to head to weight watchers to hopefully lose some more and maybe even maintain.. well that's the plan Good luck..
That's why I had a much slower start with Weight Watchers than a lot of people with my start weight. I already eat moderately healthy foods, and at the time I was still skating regularly and drinking lots of water. Portion sizes and a love of pasta and cheese are my issues.
If you talk to any doctor they will tell you this is a very balanced program. (great for diabetics)
If you go to the meetings, it is hit an miss finding a group that works. Some focus on the food, some focus on what makes people overeat. But, you can join online and get everthing the program offers.
I have tried so many different diets, and Weight Watcher is the only one that really taught me how to eat well and keep the weight off. Also, I lost weight all over, not just some areas.
Interesting- how is it possible for your body to lose weight in just certain areas and not others?
Great Question...
If you fad diet, you do not get an all over fat burn.
On diets that were not properly balanced, my face and tummy would lose the fat, but not my arms and legs. Also, because the weight may come off faster, you can look flabby because the skin does not "shrink" quickly.
Also, with fad diets some of what can be lost is actually muscle weight and can make the weight loss look out of proportion.
Are you going to stick with your diet plan when you go to Europe? It would be a shame if you did not sample the delicious food there, especially the pastries (YUM!).
An update: I haven't tried Nutrisystem, but I did start Diet-To-Go. The food is surprisingly tasty. I'm on the lunch and dinner menu and have only tried two of the lunches, which were acceptable. But the dinners are surprisingly very tasty. I heat them in the oven, which I think makes a good difference.

Well, I'm not sure about hat size, but my head is just over 22" and the SF helmet fits me OK.
I'm a 7 3/4 (yeah, melon head!) and a Sgt Fang mystery helmet will fit you fine.
Awesome! As far as inches, I just checked and my head is about 23 1/2" around, then there are my ears and my big nose lol. Thanks guys, now I just need to wait on him to respond to a pm so I can order one! You just made my day. :cheers
How exactly does one measure your head size, around the forehead and such or how?
First, you get the straightest ruler possible, then you wrap your head around the Ruler until the left ear touches the right ear. If you feel pain, stop and try again until you no longer feel pain -- or your nose. :cheers
The standard for measuring hat width is using a tape measure, measuring slightly above the ears.
Here you go- 8)
Funny. Mine is 23 1/2 inches around. Guess that makes me an XL lol
I'm going for it Sarge. Money has been sent to your paypal account. Thanks!
WOW My head is 24 1/4 around no wonder why I can't get any helmets to fit my giganormousmonstrosity melon! LOL
i remember finding a costume helmet at a place nearby that sold costumes and it was quite a but too small for me, especially with my glasses, but even without... i need to measure and check what size i'd need.
how big do Sargeant Fang helmets fit? would be my next question.
I got my visor from t-visor.com today. Judging from it, it seems like the helmet will fit. Once I get the mystery helmet I'll see how much room I've got in it and if there is any room to spare and post how it fits.
Found this - http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g2...reHeadSize.jpg
My head is between 23 1/2" & 24" (I think) Will a SgtFang fit my head?
I think it will. Mine is 23.5" and it fits me fine.
also, keep in mind that head shapes are different as well.
mine is longer front to back (Think Alien), while some people have a "Biscuit head"
I wear a 7 3/8. My nose is pressed against the visor when I put my MS Mystery on. I must have one of those Alien heads.
Hey my threads back! lol, totally forgot about it.
As for the update. Yeah, It fits great! :thumbsup
How does one go about buying a SgtFang helmet??
My only probolem is my nose touching the visor. :lol

Chicago • The Chicago Bulls were down and just about out in this one. Go figure, Nate Robinson led them back.
Robinson scored 34 points, and Chicago wiped out a 14-point deficit late in regulation and beat the Brooklyn Nets 142-134 in triple overtime Saturday to take a 3-1 lead in the first-round playoff series.
The Bulls were trailing 109-95 in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter when Robinson went on one of his tears, carrying his team to an improbable victory with a stretch that reminded the streaky point guard of a video game.
"I always think I'm on fire, kind of like the old-school game NBA Jam," he said. "You make a couple in a row, the rim's on fire. You shoot the ball, the ball's on fire. I feel like that at times all the time. Whenever I'm in the game, I just play with a lot of confidence. You kind of have to lie to yourself and feel like you can't miss."
There's the rub with Robinson.
He'll rush shots. He'll miss. He'll make his coach cringe and every Bulls fan groan, but then, he'll do something like this.
Robinson scored all but five of his points after the third quarter, including the first 12 in a 14-0 run that wiped out Brooklyn's late lead. Then, with 2 seconds left in the first overtime, he banked in a go-ahead jumper over Deron Williams.
Joe Johnson answered with one of his own to send it to another overtime, tied at 121. The Bulls had a chance to win in the closing seconds of the second extra session, but Joakim Noah was blocked, and the game went to a third OT.
The Bulls finally pulled away after Williams (32 points) drove for a layup to pull Brooklyn to 133-130 with 3 minutes left. The basket accounted for Williams' only points after regulation.
Luol Deng then scored to make it a five-point game, and Nazr Mohammed hit two shots in the final 32 seconds to help preserve the win.
He converted a jump hook, then grabbed the rebound and scored with 19 seconds left after Carlos Boozer made a free throw and missed the second, making it 140-134.
The Bulls will try to wrap up the best-of-seven series at Brooklyn on Monday.
Up next
P Monday, 7 p.m., TV • NBA TV
Chicago leads 3-1

Hello, it is my first time building a computer and my budget is around 700 dollars. Is this good enough to create a machine that will run most games?
I had posted months before, but it's only now that im actually decided on getting one. Someone had suggested these two: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2ZF67 and http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2ZFSM
Are these good for the price and is there anywhere from these that i can improve and/or save money on? It was a few months ago so im not sure if anything new has come out since then. Thank you

These zinc lozenges work very well. They make my dry throat feel better in no time. And I love the lemon flavor. Not a big fan of cherry and menthol. so the lemon is a great option.
Great product.

I take these when I feel a cold coming on, and during a cold as well (along with extra C and probiotics). I take several each day, sometimes as often as every thiry minutes. Soothes the pain of a sore throat and I swear they shorten the duration of the cold.

How populated is the F2P server, was playing Nox a few months back P2P but it was unbearably desolate so I decided to quit.
Play Wakfu on the Remington server with us.
It definitely isnt as populated in the beginning maps as the English server was back during the start of Open Beta. Donno about later maps though.
Please be aware that from this point on, Karnage is being retired and replaced by a new Earth Sac for my tank character. If and when statis is buffed in the future, I may use Karnage as a ranged statis dps. But for now, Painzer is taking the hits!
So I'm about to download it when the front page of the site says a cash store will open soon. Is this the end of the nice F2P system they had going?

As long as they're non-game-changing items, and there's some variety in the game, I'll be okay with it.
Their support isn't to good I guess. At least on the forums. I posted my error last week right when it happened and still have yet to get a response. =/

I've never heard of an Okinawan White crane style, could you tell us about it?Incidentally I often see people on these forums talk about white crane kung fu and then post vids of ancestrsal crane or shouting crane. These are all crane styles, but they are not white crane.White crane is Bai he quan, bai=white he=crane, so vids labelled Zonghequan aren't strictly speaking white crane. I just thought it was worth mentioning as within white crane their seem to be technical differences, but across the crane styles there are some quite major differences.

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Arsène Wenger and his side travel to West Ham United on Saturday so, to find out more, tactical expert Michael Cox and local journalist Dave Evans gave their pre-match views.
Sam Allardyce gave Arsenal plenty of problems during his time in charge of Bolton, and West Ham will offer a physical threat at Upton Park this weekend. So far this season, West Ham have committed the most fouls and picked up the most bookings in the Premier League, so Arsenal will have to be up for a fight in the centre of midfield.
West Ham have also won the second most aerial duels in the league (behind Stoke) primarily due to the threat of their central striker. Andy Carroll was signed on loan to play as a target man, but Carlton Cole has done well in his absence through injury – whoever Allardyce chooses, West Ham will hit the ball long quickly and get support up towards the lone striker.
It's 4-5-1 without the ball and more 4-2-3-1 when West Ham do have possession – and although they get the ball into the final third quickly, don't underestimate their quality around the box.
Kevin Nolan has a knack of arriving in the area at exactly the right time, reviving his good partnership with Carroll from their Newcastle days. Whereas Nolan collects knock-downs, right-winger Ricardo Vaz Te will look to collect flick-ons, darting towards goal. On the left, Matt Jarvis can duck inside or outside the full back, and will look to hang balls up to the far post.
The central midfield partnership will be Mohamed Diame and Mark Noble. Diame breaks play up and keeps his distribution simple, whereas Noble is more of an all-action player. Santi Cazorla will look to find space in behind these two, and it's worth Arsenal trying to slide balls between West Ham's midfield into him quickly, as Allardyce's side have a good shape when they get their midfield behind the ball.
At the back, Winston Reid and James Collins are decent defenders, but relatively poor in possession. If pressed, they can make mistakes. The full backs can be vulnerable to direct movement, so forward runs towards goal from Arsenal's wingers may be a promising route to goal.
Sam Allardyce will play a 4-2-3-1 system - he calls it the Spanish formation, whatever that might mean! He plays a lone striker but insists the two wide men help out all the time. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, it depends on who they play really. I think Andy Carroll will come back into the side on Saturday. I am sure he will want to impress against Arsenal and Carlton Cole has not been playing that well in the lone striker role.
Mohamed Diame has been the engine room in midfield for West Ham so far this season. He has really impressed, which is a bit of a surprise as a lot of people raised their eyebrows when he joined. But he has proved to be a good signing, and has worked well alongside Mark Noble and Kevin Nolan. Those three have been the heart of the team.
It has been a good start to the season, but they have been helped by the fixture list. If they could have chosen who to start with, it would be pretty close to who they have actually played. The Arsenal game is almost the start of the season for West Ham as they face a lot of the top teams coming up in the next two months. The fact they have so many points already means they can play with more freedom and attack these sides, and anything they get will be a bonus.
They will try to bully Arsenal on Saturday - there is no point in sitting back as they will just get picked off. Sam will keep it tight, and I would imagine they will be hustling and bustling in midfield, trying to stop Arsenal playing as much as possible. That is the way they play anyway, but it will be even more important on Saturday. Carroll will play an important role.
Joey O'Brien has a hamstring tweak and I would expect him to miss out as they do like to handle him with care, as he has had long-term injury problems before. If that is the case I would expect George McCartney to come in for him. Winston Reid was poleaxed by his own keeper on Monday and was flat out for a while, but he should be OK. But Jack Collison will definitely miss out as he has not played at all this season with a knee injury.
The way West Ham are playing, I can see them getting a 1-1 draw on Saturday.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Christmas Lights - Outdoor String Lights
(Showing 51 categories)
History of Christmas Lights
First Christmas tree with electric lights, 1882
Christmas lights have been one of the most popular Christmas decorations for the past century. In 1882, three years after Edison invented the first sensible light bulb, Edward H. Johnson created the first Christmas lights in his home in New York City. The tree was hand-wired and lit with 80 red, white, and blue globes. The lights blinked and twinkled while the tree slowly revolved.
Christmas lights were first made available for sale in 1890, but they were so expensive that most people could not afford them. They were a symbol of status among the wealthy and many of them rented the lights instead of buying them. In 1903, one set of 24 Christmas lights was sold for $12.00. Considering the average person made about $9 a week, this was far too extravagant for the normal family. In addition to the cost of the lights, the services of a wireman were required and, if the house was not electrically powered, they also needed a generator.
Christmas lights did not become practical for the average family until the 1930s. By this time, not only homes were decorated with electric lights. Stores, community Christmas trees, and government buildings were adorned with the twinkling lamps. General Electric began to sponsor community lighting competitions in the 1920s, but it wasn't until the 1950s that it was common to see rows of houses lit on the outside. Today, the places you find the lights are as numerous as the types of lights available.
Varieties of Christmas Lights
Mini-light strings: Most popular because of their versatility.
LED Christmas lights: Energy-efficient alternative available in a variety of sizes including LED C6, LED C7, LED C9, LED Wide Angle, and LED icicle stringers.
Battery-powered mini-lights: Used in even more applications.
Rice lights: Tiny points of light for smaller decorations.
C7 & C9 bulbs: Most prominent outdoor lights because of their larger size and greater luminescence.
Globes and Teardrops: Stylish indoor alternative available in a variety of sizes including G8, G23, G25, G28, and G40.
Net lights and trunk wraps: Easy way to decorate bushes and trees.
Light curtains and icicle lights: Mini-light strands that hang vertically.
Lighted decorations: Christmas Stars, lantern lights, and starlight spheres are favorites.
Commercial decorations: Perfect for stores, malls, and businesses and feature bows, wreaths, festoons, giant candy canes, Christmas topiary, and even life-size figures.

Ah family road trips. Who can forget those from our childhood? Loading up in the family truckster - in my case a blue 1968 Chevy Impala - and heading off to the beach, mountains, amusement park or what have you. Despite all of those great memories, I somehow doubt my brother and I were as comfortable in the back seat of that giant car as these guys look. And I'm guessing their iPods aren't full of the greatest hits of Barry Manilow and The Carpenters as my parents' cassette collection was.
Arsenal began this year's summer tour last week, jetting off to Kuala Lampur for the first part of their tour of Asia. The squad took a couple days of acclimating to the sizzling temperatures and draining humidity as well as taking time to check out the sights and meet with supporters.
And it was a rather strong squad, despite several big names being left behind. Both of our new signings Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud remained in London to work on their fitness after getting some extra time off following the Euro. Their countrymen Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny respectively also were held back for the same reasons. But plenty of big names like Thomas Vermaelen, Theo Walcott and Mikel Arteta made the trip and should see plenty of action over the course of the trip.
Also on board for the tour is Abou Diaby. Arsène Wenger has handed the oft-injured Frenchman a big opportunity to put his fitness on display during the tour. And should everything work out, it could be quite the coup for Arsenal. Few can doubt Diaby's talents, but we have just had so few opportunities to really see him shine since his awful injury back in 2006. If he can in fact stay healthy this season, it will truly be a de facto new signing.
And that could put the kibosh on one of the big rumors of this off season. According to numerous websites and news outlets, the signing of French international Yann M'vila was all but complete before the Euros began. But Arsène dismissed that during his first interview of the pre-season. "When you look we have Song, Ramsey, Coquelin, Wilshere, Arteta and Diaby," he told Arsenal Player. "In defensive midfielders and box-to-box players we are not short if they are all coming back. If we have setbacks in pre-season it could be different."
But that does not mean the Boss is done playing the transfer market. As expected he won't elaborate, but he has suggested that who comes in very much depends on who goes out. "I cannot tell you anything concrete about the situation [regarding those who might leave] because if they are not finding clubs they will stay here and be players of the squad."
One of those players who could be on his way out, of course, is Robin van Persie. But Wenger said that he still hopes to keep striker at the Club and he was quick to dispel any notion that the situation surrounding the Dutchman is the same as what we experienced with Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri. "The situation is not the same as last season," he said. "We have a squad that is solid and we have bought two strikers. Last year we lost not only two players in the transfer market, but players through injury in pre-season."
And avoiding injuries will be absolutely paramount to this season. Which is why you don't often see teams do more than simply stretch their legs and line up against some lower division club from whichever town they are holding camp in. But for Arsenal, the first game came against a group of Malaysian stars - some of which have had trials with clubs in Europe. And they definitely had no plans to simply roll over for the big boys. "In Asia you get mobile teams who are very enthusiastic," Wenger said. "They have the opportunity to play against players they usually watch on television so they don't make it easy for you."
Despite Arsenal dominating most of the first half, it was the Malaysian squad that took a lead into the break. A superb Mohamad Azmi Muslim strike from the edge of the area put the home side in front with just seconds left in the first half. The home side held their lead until the 87th minute when Nico Yennaris found Thomas Eisfeld for the equalizer. And just minutes later, Chuks Aneke found the back of the net after his shot deflected off the heel of a Malaysia defender.
So it wasn't a 4-0 blow out like last season, but still all in all, Wenger was pleased. "I think we got the quality of the game we wanted and that is very positive. We got through it without any injuries and it was a good game."
Back in the UK, a squad made up of Reserve and Youth players lined up against Boreham Wood FC in Terry Burton's first game in charge. The Arsenal squad found themselves go behind early, but rebounded in the second half after picking up two penalties, scored by Sanchez Watt and 16-year-old Chuba Akpom. Kristoffer Olsson added a third five minutes from time to give Arsenal the comfortable win.
Shortly after the game, the team boarded a plane and headed for Beijing where they were met by waiting fans at the airport. A couple of days of training and other events and then Arsenal will match up against last year's Premier League champions Man City. Once again, you can see the full match live on Arsenal Player on Friday - as well as Sunday's game against Kitchee FC in Hong Kong.
After that, it's a long flight back home and further preparations for the new season. But until then , stay tuned because there is certainly a lot more to come.
Come on you Gunners!

July 11, 2012
And just like that the pre-season workouts have begun. The squad turned out at London Colney on Tuesday to start training for the new season. Amazingly, we're only days away from the first friendly of 2012/12 - in the Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup at Southampton's St Mary's Stadium.
To say it has been an eventful off-season would be the understatement of... the off-season. The early move for German international Lukas Podolski, the 10 Gunners involved in the Euros, another quick move for last season's top scorer in Ligue 1, Olivier Giroud and then something less appetizing, the Robin van Persie situation.
We've had a week to decompress, but there has not been any news since the Club released a statement. Sure, we've heard a rumble here and a rumor or two there, but everything is pure speculation. All we can do is sit back and stay tuned to Arsenal.com for any and all official statements.
Meanwhile, there has been a fair amount of movement this week, although much of it is of a more behind-the-scenes nature. First - Podolski officially signed his deal with the Club and then took a stroll around his new stomping grounds. Welcome aboard Poldi - can't wait to celebrate that first goal in an Arsenal shirt!
Next up, Arsenal filled a coaching role that was left vacant when Pat Rice retired and Steve Bould and Neil Banfield moved up to first-team roles. Terry Burton has returned to Arsenal to become the new reserves and head development coach. It marks his third spell at Arsenal - the first was as a youth player in the early 70s and the second in various coaching roles from 1979-1987. The youngsters look to be in good hands.
There was also a bit of player movement, although not really anything you would describe as earth shattering... or even terribly surprising. Denilson secured another year on loan to his hometown club Sao Paulo. Costa Rica international Joel Campbell landed another loan move as well - to La Liga side Real Betis.
We also found out that Arsenal's pre-season schedule has become a bit less congested. The planned trip to Nigeria - which was to be on the heels of the Club's Asia Tour has been postponed. To be sure it's a disappointment for the many Arsenal supporters there, but in light of several with recent deals being struck in Africa, Arsenal is already working on firming up a trip there next summer.
The Asia Tour is still very much on and that kicks off in about two weeks. Arsène Wenger is very excited about returning to China, a country that he feels has amazing passion and knowledge of the game - and Arsenal. "The [surprise about China] for me was how much people know about our club," he said. "When we are in China it was unbelievable. I had a press conference at Hangzhou and people in the room knew more about Arsenal than I did!"
Wojceich Szczesny also praised the fans there, saying that the reception the players received last summer was incredible. "We were shocked really, we didn't expect anything like it. We thought we were going to be there for a nice trip, play a couple of games, have a few training sessions, and that's it, but people were outside the hotel 24/7," the goalkeeper recalled. "It gives you the idea of how big a club this is and it's something that stuck in my mind."
The Boss also commented on China's future as a potential force in world football. "Usually, sport follows the economic power, and the economic power is moving at the moment from Europe to China and Brazil," he said. "These countries, if they have the desire, they will have the players. The history is in Europe - but how long can we resist the power of China if they really want to develop football? The future will tell."
So buckle your safety belts and return your seatback to its full upright and locked position. It's time for some Arsenal.
Come on you Gunners!

Last week on One to One, I talked with former New Zealand legislator and diplomat Maurice McTigue. He now consults with state governments and business groups around the United States about how to improve economic competitiveness.
It was a fascinating conversation about the opportunities he sees for Kentucky to become more business-friendly and more competitive with our neighboring states. McTigue doesn't believe simply cutting regulations and offering unlimited tax breaks are the answer. In fact, McTigue says tax incentives simply indicate that something else is wrong with state development policies that, if fixed, would be more beneficial to current and prospective businesses alike.
McTigue encourages states like Kentucky to focus on growth strategies rather than job creation. He says when states invest in growth, the jobs will follow. He also advises states to speed up and streamline permitting and compliance processes so businesses can do what they need to do more efficiently. And he said that Kentucky should reduce the number of taxes it collects from 70 down to around 10 – not to reduce tax revenues, but to simplify how many taxes have to be paid.
Advocacy groups and business organizations are also closely listening to McTigue's ideas. I asked three such organizations in the Commonwealth to offer their thoughts. First, here's what Jim Waters, president of the Bluegrass Institute in Lexington had to say:
Maurice McTigue's polite but firm refusal to back down on his assertion that tax incentives, which form the centerpiece of Kentucky's economic-development approach, [are] not the best policy if we hope to turn Kentucky from a poor state to a mecca of prosperity is a breath of fresh air among all of the voices claiming that such handouts are the only way for the Commonwealth to compete …
Perhaps the best advice offered by McTigue, and yet the one so often ignored or rejected by Kentucky politicians, is: "If others are doing it better than you, you better find out what they're doing and copy it." Such "best practices" approach works for Kentucky business giants like Toyota and UPS. Frankfort should try it, too.
Could such an approach also hold the key to why states like Louisiana, which historically have trailed Kentucky in certain areas of economic competitiveness, are now passing us up in key economic and education indices?
Jason Bailey, director of the Berea-based Kentucky Center for Economic Policy, also agrees that Kentucky focuses too much on tax incentives, but disagrees with McTigue on the fundamentals of economic growth.
The specific ideas he focuses on are to streamline regulatory and permitting processes and have fewer types of taxes. He focuses heavily on the tax and regulatory structure, and speaks positively of right to work laws because they allegedly "make it easier for people to manage their labor force."
But the real fundamentals that truly matter for economic development are about the quality of life in a state and the capacity of the state's citizens. Those things require adequate public investment in education, health, human services, public amenities and infrastructure, and a role for government in protecting against abusive business practices. They require an economic development strategy based on assisting targeted sectors and supporting entrepreneurs. They require broad, democratic public participation in economic development planning. Mr. McTigue talks about none of those things.
While everyone wants governmental processes to be no more complicated than necessary, simplicity alone will not unleash economic growth. And deregulation, tax cuts and right-to-work laws are a recipe for inequality rather than development …
Economic development is about raising the quality of life of all of the state's citizens. That requires a government that sees broad improvement in living standards as the goal, and invests in the capacity of its people to create their own economic future.
Finally Bryan Sunderland, a senior vice president of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, urges an annual review of our state's economic development policies.
"If Kentucky leaders are not looking to improve the business climate every single year, we'll continue to be passed by other states that do," says Sunderland. "Improving our business climate through education, competitive taxes, and reasonable regulations is the best way to grow the economy and jobs."
What do you think of McTigue's ideas? You can add your voice to the conversation by emailing me your comments at email@example.com, or by posting them on Facebook (billgoodmanKET) or on Twitter (@BillKET). I'd love to hear from you.
