You same with me , but i have problem with ALT-TAB when i uninstal compiz
Hello all, this is my 1st post. Im a very beginner in linux, i never tried them before. BT5 is my first linux .
Im using Linux Backtrack 5rc, Ggnome x32, i installed it on my hard disk ( side-by-side option )
Everything went well until recently when i tried to play around, i cant remember much what i did, but i did install Nvidia Display driver though. Everything went ok without any error, and im not sure if that could be the culprit.
The problem is, after i startx, the background is empty. I had changed the desktop earlier with PNG i downloaded from net. The next time i boot, the wallpaper is missing, and when i click 'set desktop wallpaper' on right-click index, the system just froze each time and i had to press power button. So everytime i boot BT5 i dont bother to change the wallpaper anymore. This is problem number 1.
Problem number2, when i typing, dont matter on terminal, text editor or firefox... i dont know how to describe this but it seems like sometimes when i was typing or pressing kybord buttons, it presses like 10x times. If i typed "airmon-ng" it would be like aaaiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmon-nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg"
sometimes when i pressed enter, it presses 'enter' like 20times. this is so weird, the keyboard is ok, no problem. its impossible for me to post this thread using linux, i dont boot into BT anymore, its a pain in the butt.
I wish i could restore everything to original state, just like windows system restore, if i could. Is teh a way?
Tell me what else you need to know. Im very NOOB, plaese shed some light.
You same with me , but i have problem with ALT-TAB when i uninstal compiz

Ivan (The Ape at Exit 8) is a downtrodden, has-been silverback gorilla living in a small, unkept domain within a shopping mall, occasionally accompanied by Bob, a stray dog who sneaks into Ivan's domain through a hole in the glass.
Stella, an aging elephant with a bad foot, dies from lack of treatment after Ruby, a baby elephant purchased from a defunct circus, arrives at the mall. The owner hopes Ruby will jumpstart visitor attendance again. Before Stella dies, she asks Ivan to promise that he will bring Ruby somewhere safe, knowing his devotion to protection of his friends is paramount.
Ivan's poetic narration is honest, painful, and heartbreaking; Applegate's insight into captive animal life is powerful. Don't miss this book, no matter how old you are.

The Utah Department of Health has launched a new website to report food-related illnesses.
The site, igotsick.health.utah.gov, is a one-stop spot for anyone who thinks they became sick after eating and provides an alternative to reporting it to one of 12 local health departments. Those departments will be notified of the report and investigate it.
The state health department said the information provided is confidential and will be used to determine if food caused the reported illness.
Symptoms of food-borne illness include diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain and fever. According to the department's news release, food can become contaminated when it is undercooked, improperly washed or during harvesting and preparation.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate food-borne microorganisms sicken 48 million people and lead to 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths a year.

It was a scorcher! For three days the thermometer was well over 100 degrees. The always creative Steel Magnolias found a way to deal with the untimely weather for their 13th annual fundraising gala on Sept. 15. They held it in a sideless, topless tent where the cool evening breezes added to the delightful alfresco ambiance.
More than 200 guests dined and danced under the stars beneath the tent frame that was bedecked with twinkling lights, elegantly set tables, full bar, lounge area, bandstand and dance floor. The Junior Long Beach Band led the throng from the reception in the clubhouse of the elegant Virginia Country Club to the nearby dining pavilion with rousing marching music, and serenaded them as they entered.
Before they were led to the dance floor, guests at the reception were greeted with wine, champagne and hors d'oeuvres. Guests oohed and aahed over the spectacular table promotions that showcased the over-the-top parties that were for sale.
A look-alike Marilyn Monroe, with her iconic white skirt aflutter, advertised the Hollywood Party. Steel Magnolias' own Aimee DuRee, decked out as a cowgirl, stood among the hay bales, saddle and chuck wagon utensils, heralding a "Country Western Hoedown." "A Night to Remember," Titanic-theme party, displayed ship's artifacts; while the "Chicago" party display was complete with a jail, including a comely prisoner.
"Gondoliers" (Carl Ann Wiley and Susan Redfield) completed the splendid Venetian scene, tempting guests to purchase a bay cruise and Italian dinner. Eiffel towers, garden arch, topiaries and posters for Julia Child's 100th birthday suggested the delights awaiting purchasers of a Provençal dinner. The table for a wine tasting dinner was elegantly set and attended by a "mystery chef" in chef's jacket and toque, plus mask.
Joe Jost's party table had the requisite peanuts and beer mugs. Theater seats hand painted with old-time movie stars were among the trappings for an Academy Awards party at Keesal, Young and Logan's top-floor, and "top-drawer," dining room. A plethora of restaurant certificates for varied tastes were also offered.
Once guests entered the dining area, the Lee Farrell Ensemble took over with high-energy dance music that had many people "shaking their booties" all night long. Five-foot-tall centerpieces of lighted vases filled with red, blue or purple water beads and topped with magnolia blossoms and glittery spirals adorned the tables, where a stylish and delicious dinner featuring entrees of sea bass and filet mignon was served.
Over the years, the Steel Magnolias have raised well over $2 million for the Geraldine Stramski Children's Developmental Center at Miller Children's Hospital. President Lorie Merrill (with husband Paul), spoke movingly of the need for funds to care for the center's patients. He noted that children with a low birth weight who are seen at the center may have 10 or more medical appointments per month and take many medications. Patients with cleft lip and palate are seen through their 18th birthdays. Autism involves the patient's entire family.
Most of the center's work is diagnostic, and reimbursement from public and private sources falls far short of the costs. To help offset this shortfall, the gala raised $100,000 (net), a sum that will be combined with other money raised. For more information, call 562-331-8007 or visit email@example.com.
Nancy Gaines of the Ackerman/Bauer Foundation was presented with the Steel Magnolias Founders Award by Shirley Wild (there with Bill).
Nancy said, "I can't imagine a more worthy organization - there is nothing like the feeling of giving."
That was the perfect segue for Master of Ceremonies John Morris to ask for donations to the KIDS (Kids in Diagnosis at Stramski) Klub fund, which quickly raised $7,500.
John announced that he and Fire Chief Mike DuRee would offer brunch for eight at McKenna's on the Bay, a Duffy Boat ride, and a firetruck ride for $1,000. Eight were sold.
Also auctioned: a trip to Washington, D.C., with a tour by U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrbacher; five nights at the Regis Hotel in Kauai; and dinner for eight at Keesal Young and Logan.
Seen at the scene: Chairman Anthony Gagliardi with his brother Bill and sister Elena Papini; Gloria and former Gov. George Deukmejian; event Chairman Gary Lee Wolf with Carl Lee, Mary Alice and Bob Braly, Carolyn and Pat Bixby, The Stags Man of the Year Steve Goodling with his wife Lisa, Judy McNulty and Don Black, Mari Hooper, Bonnie and Vic Ceglas, Carolyn and John Faber, Susan and Lee Hill, Jeannie and Phil Jones, Gail Gray, Barbara and Ned Gaylord, Georgi and Allan Kolski, Carolyn Maney, Barbara and Don Hall, Jim Keck, Steve Baba, Barbara and Don Hall, Meg Littlefield, Sherry and Jim Loos, Surina Geoffrey, Karen Nolte, Penny Wilds, Diana Chase, Karen Haney, Cheryl LeMmon, Judie Johnsen, Stephanie Davis, Karen and Bob Lewis, Harry and Maria Saltzgaver, Paul Diego, Bonnie Ganz, Hilda and David Sanchez, Dr. Audra DeVikas.

Hydrants buried in snow delayed firefighters who put out a bus fire on Saturday, leaving the University of Utah shuttle a complete loss.
The shuttle bus driver noticed the front end of his vehicle had caught fire near 2147 E. Pollock Road. He called 911 and grabbed the extinguisher aboard the bus to try to put it out, but when Salt Lake City firefighters arrived at 9:52 a.m., they found the bus engulfed in smoke and flames.
Firefighters went to work, but they soon realized that all of the nearby fire hydrants were buried under snow. Two firefighters were assigned to find and dig out the nearest one, but by the time they did so and put the fire out, the bus was a total loss.
The bus driver was the only person on board and was not injured.
It's unclear whether the ready availability of a hydrant would have made a big difference, said Jasen Asay, spokesman for the fire department. But the incident serves as a warning that everyone should clear the snow from the hydrants near their homes and businesses, before buried hydrants delay firefighters from saving someone's house, he said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Al-Jazeera English has been getting lots of praise recently for their coverage of the events in Egypt.
An Obama appointment: Schwarzenegger and Obama have been full of praise for each other.
The same section in Let Us Now praise Famous Men is not more poetic.
Obama stepped in it by echoing W.'s praise for Brownie, saying Larry Summers had done "a heck of a job."
When Elvis Costello this week canceled two upcoming shows in Israel, Twitter lit up with praise and condemnation.
But as she turned with praise on her lips, Evelyn leaned eagerly towards her.
praise cannot stoop, like satire, to the ground; The number may be hanged, but not be crowned.
Is the note of praise to be found in the streets of my soul?
Yet censure is not heard beneath the tomb, any more than praise.
"praise from Sir George Manderville is praise indeed," she quoted demurely.
c.1300, "to laud, commend, flatter," from Old French preisier, variant of prisier "to praise, value," from Late Latin preciare, earlier pretiare (see price (n.)). Replaced Old English lof, hreþ.
Specifically with God as an object from late 14c. Related: Praised; praising. Now a verb in most Germanic languages (German preis, Danish pris, etc.), but only in English is it differentiated in form from cognate price.
early 14c., not common until 16c., from praise (v.).

Along with accepting new test methods, producers are discovering other methods to overcome the obstacles of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) acceptance. One new approach of proportioning concrete and reducing cement content has been developed by iCrete.
SCC mixes proportioned using the iCrete technology have all the attributes of SCC at less material cost and with more robustness. This means producers will batch the same concrete every time regardless of slight variations in the ingredients.
A robust and cost-effective SCC mix is one a contractor will opt to use. The iCrete technology is a method of proportioning concrete based on proprietary algorithms and tight control of the raw materials, especially aggregate moisture.
"Every mix design engineer has a unique characterization technique for the raw materials used to meet a certain strength requirement," says Jack Holley, iCrete's director of concrete development. "But ours is a little different. We are not necessarily going for maximum particle packing, but for optimum particle packing. The result is a mix matrix that is very stable and that allows the producer to batch a mix with SCC properties a lot easier and to do it in a repeatable way."
Mix designs using iCrete will almost always be specified as performance-based. "We will work within the parameters of what the industry and the particular job requires," says Holley. "But we will try to challenge any prescriptive requirements, like water-cement ratio or minimum cement content, to move toward the performance the contractor and designer are really looking for, whether it's SCC properties, modulus of elasticity, pumpability, or low shrinkage and creep."
Atlantic County Concrete is supplying SCC to the Revel project in Atlantic City and has switched completely to the iCrete system for its mix design. "Our iCrete mix is more consistent than our commercial mix, and we are able to do it with a better blend of materials," says Atlantic's project manager, Bob Todd. "We've also been able to meet the performance specification and reduce our material costs."
What's most unique about iCrete is that producers are easily able to produce robust SCC mixes with precision properties that stay within tolerance, without increasing the production and materials costs.
Working with the producer's existing raw materials, iCrete is able to produce mixes to meet any performance need. "Usually the producer doesn't need to add new materials that would require new aggregate bins or silos," says Holley. "We're not asking for a higher cementitious fraction that's going to drive the cost up ridiculously. And we will provide an even more consistent product so the producer doesn't have to worry about batch-to-batch variations and segregation without using lots of filler and high dosages of viscosity modifiers."

LL Cool J & Brad Paisley follow 'Accidental Racist' with new single
Listen to LL Cool J on iHeartRadio | Listen to Brad Paisley on iHeartRadio
In the midst of backlash over their controversial duet, "Accidental Racist," LL Cool J and Brad Paisley have released another new single that's causing far less fuss than the first.
Titled "Live For You," the duo's second collaboration finds Paisley sounding a little more R&B over LL's rap rhymes. The song is about love and steers clear of the racial themes of "Accidental Racist" that drew scathing criticism from many following its release Tuesday.
Both Paisley and LL have defended "Accidental Racist" despite the strong reactions. Appearing on ABC's "Good Morning America" Wednesday, the artists said they were "proud" of the track and respect the fact that some people may not care for the song's lyrics.
While "Accidental Racist" appears on Paisley's new album "Wheelhouse," "Live For You' will show up on LL's upcoming album "Authentic." That album, which also includes a guest spot from Van Halen guitarist Eddie Van Halen, is due out on April 30th.

I started using the new website Footnote last week, and within about 15 minutes I found a record with my 3rd Great Grandfather's signature on it. John Osgatharp was a Justice of the Peace in Jackson County, Tennessee when the document was signed on 20 Dec. 1843.
As a certified handwriting analyst, I was interested in my ancestor's writing and what it could tell me about him. Taking into consideration that handwriting of the day was dictated by the social flamboyance of this Victorian era, John's cursive form of writing was not surprising. Being able to read, write and spell tells me that he was an educated man. His position in the county as Justice of the Peace also speaks to his being respected by his peers. Some other things I have noticed is that he most generally crosses his T's with the bar high on the stem, denoting high goals, but not unreachable. The hook at the end of some of his words says to me that he might have had something in his past that he always thought about, and most of his letters like O's and small a's are closed, showing that he was able to keep his mouth shut. Probably a good thing if he was a Justice of the Peace.
This record, as a genealogical source has everything going for it. Names (Miles, Osgatharp), the date (at least twice), location (Jackson County, Tennessee) and references the Revolutionary War. I should mention too, that John's own father, Richard Osgatharp (official spelling believed to be Osgathorpe) was a Patriot in the RW, serving from Burke County, North Carolina. I have a copies of two of Richard's pay vouchers issued in Morgan County, NC and plan to add him to my Patriot list for the Daughters of the American Revolution.
It has only been a few days since I began using Footnote, but if this is any indication of what kind of documentation I will be able to find on the site, it is well worth the price of subscribing. I suspect it will only get better as they add more and more documents over time.

I finally get my BT4 final to VMware. I have alfa networks awus036h USB device. It's wlan0
I know that for kismet I have to edit kismet.conf file to get my device to work. It should be something like this source:ALFA,RTxxxx,wlan0. I can't now remember or check it.
How should I put it to kismet new core. I can get it by add source but I have to do it every time. Wlan0 alfa.
And in vmware it doesn't fit that quest desktop to fit it's window. It doesn also support unity. What wrong whit that file?
Hi I have Alfa networks AWUS036H 1000mw usb device.
In kismet old core I had to do this before using Kismet:edit Kismet.conf to "source=rt8180,wlan0,ALFA"
Now its in a different form in kismet newcore. How shoud i do it now.
I can do it after starting Kismet newcore by adding a source: wlan0 , ALFA
I would like to do it so that my settings will stay.

The cardboard rounds that are used inside of a tiered cake for stability don't need to be covered in anything, unless they're visible from outside the cake. Don't use parchment paper to cover visible cake boards because they are meant to have a slick, nonstick finish that could cause your cake to slide.

We must take advantage of every possible opening to educate the world about the Holocaust if we are to ensure that "Never Again" still resonates.
Another International Holocaust Remembrance Day has come and gone. Did you notice?
For too many of us, the answer might be a slightly bewildered, "Wait, isn't that in the spring?" The event, sanctioned by the United Nations in 2005 and commemorated this year by no fewer than 34 member countries, provided not just another opportunity to mourn the loss of the 6 million Jewish victims of the Nazis and their countless millions of progeny that never were; it also offered another vehicle to impart the lessons of the Shoah to generations of people who are becoming more and more removed from it.
And that is really what Jan. 27, the date selected by the United Nations because it was when Soviet troops liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau, is all about. It may be tempting to dismiss the UN-backed date by pointing to the primacy of Yom Hashoah, the spring Holocaust Remembrance Day which has the advantage of being decades more established. That began in Israel in 1953, with the imprimatur of Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion.
But there continue to be so many cases of anti-Semitism that if we are to ensure that "Never Again" still resonates, we must take advantage of every possible opening to educate about the Holocaust.
In a world where French comedian Dieudonné, his name itself a sick play on the Aryan belief in their ascendance being God-given, can inspire legions of admirers to post photos of themselves performing his inverted Nazi salute, is it really possible to say that we are doing enough? When pig heads are sent to the Israeli Embassy and a synagogue in Rome just before International Holocaust Remembrance Day events, can we justify not taking hold of every initiative possible for outreach?
We can't. And we won't. It is the debt we owe past generations and the responsibility we have to future ones to press for Holocaust education, whether that means mandating a curriculum in Pennsylvania public schools or promoting historical exhibits in Serbia. The United Nations and its member nations themselves need continuous reminders about the lessons of the Holocaust.
It is our job to tell the stories of those who make up our history, whether they are among the living or among the massacred.
As this week's cover package demonstrates, there are still recollections we have not heard, personal histories that need to be brought to light. If there are "8 million stories to tell in the naked city," as the 1948 film of the same name once famously posited, then how can we abdicate our responsibility to share the stories of the Holocaust until we have told the last of them?
We can't. And we won't.

I'm very new to web development, and so far I'm teaching myself. I plan on enrolling in my local community college and entering the web developer AAS program, but want to know a lot of the basics before I do. I already have an associates, and a bachelors degree in Advertising & Public Relations but after I graduated in 2003 the market was so bad that I got into banking instead. I'm not liking where I'm at in my career currently so I want to try something new.
I have a pretty good grasp of HTML so far and starting to learn CSS. I have a couple of questions though to make sure I'm on the right path.
1- The programs that I believe I should know to start are HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Photoshop. I know Photoshop is more for web design, but I'd like to know it so I can put together my own portfolio once I start looking for a job. Is this a good base to start with?
2- I already know HTML pretty well, and learning CSS now, but is it OK to learn CSS and JavaScript at the same time as a beginner, or should I focus on CSS first and once I know that pretty well, start learning JS?
Thanks for any help you can give!
If you intend to build a website that interacts with a database, you need to decide what server-side processing language you wish to learn, a common one is PHP.
http://www.sitepoint.com/store/ has various books (some in ebook format only)https://learnable.com/ has got various courses
With both of them different books and/or course are aimed at different levels of experience. There was a page with a chart showing what level each book was aimed at. @HAWK; If that chart has gone could HQ restore it but with it covering all books and Learnable courses?
Hi there. Welcome and good on you!
I can help you out there. As SpacePhoenix says, we have a lot of beginner resources at Learnable. You are right in that HTML& CSS are the place to start. If you are planning on focussing on front end, then JavaScript would be a good follow up, however if you want some more flexibility you could look at PHP as well. Here are a few good resources for absolute beginners:
Books:Build Your Own Website the Right Way Using HTML & CSSJump Start CSS (learn CSS in a weekend)Jump Start Javascript (learn Javascript in a weekend)Jump Start PHP (learn PHP in a weekend)
Courses:Build Your First Website: Getting Started with HTML & CSSJavascript Programming for the WebPHP & MySQL Web Development for Beginners
I hope that helps! Feel free to ask more questions.
Great idea in theory but the number of courses that we are releasing would make it a bit hard to keep up to date. I'll suggest it to the team.
Hi djay. As SpacePhoenix said, HTML and CSS will take you a long way. JS is nice, but for most websites is not needed at all, and is a nice extra layer—though, as said, the site should work nicely without it too.
SpacePhoenix said—
The one alternative to that is to use a content management system (CMS). Examples include WordPress, Joomla etc.This is a bunch of software you install on your server that comes with all the fancy functionality you'd want on a dynamic website already done for you, so that you can just concentrate on HTML and CSS. That includes like blog posting, user comments etc.
In a similar way to there being out of the box options for server side code (CMSes etc.) there are also out of the box options for JS. There is jQuery, for example, which comes with a lot of pre-made add-ons, meaning you can easily add slideshows, accordions etc. to your site without knowing JS.
So, HTML and CSS are worth learning thoroughly first, as there are fallbacks for the more advanced aspects of web design. HTML and CSS are the meat and potatoes of web design. Then, the more you can learn about the other things, like JS and PHP, the better.
1 - photoshop is web design, and html,css,php, etc are web programming. You need both!2 - Yes, as soon as you understands the basic.
in my opinion you should start learning css (would be helpful to have dreamweaver on this one) first, then php, and if you wan't to learn some designing you could put photoshop in there. Javascript i would put last on this list.
If you plan to create a website that communicates with a data source, you need to choose what server-side handling terminology you wish to understand, a typical one is PHP.
What I have done over the last 3 months to learn web design from scratch:
Learnt the basic of wordpress + plugins + themes
Learnt basics of domain names + hosting
Set up a website with hosting (total cost so far 15 dollars for year)
Started asking questions as to limitations of any word press theme. e.g. how do I put menu in footer
Look at what wordpress does when you switch from visual to text mode. (i.e. basics of HTML)
Started using Div statements and Basic CSS
Read the forums, its a bit like free homework. You'll be able to answer questions before you know it.
Yeah these are the fundamental for web design you should learn this the photoshop, HTML CSS. if you want to learn this in depth and from begginig then you can browse w3schools.com. yes it's really great to learn JS but it would be nice if you first focus on CSS later on JS. but it going to be perfect if you've intrest in PHP Mysql and other programming languages this would be really helpful for your job.
According to my opinion should begin studying css (would be necessary to have dreamweaver on this one) first, then php, and if you wan't to understand some developing you could put photoshop in there. Javascript i would put last on this record.
That's a nice list. Do you know any books which are for people who can write a bit code in PHP but wanna learn more...(can't find any nice books) I always think practising is the best way to do it, but i always get a bit confused if i see OOP terms in scripts.... You got some solution for me to extend my PHP programming skills? or some books you used? Thanks in advance
You should check the list at learnable. There are courses and books for begginer to advanced and there's definately a course about OOP PHP
Check out:Object-oriented PHP (a course)PHP Master : Write Cutting Edge Code (a book)

Over on the 'other most popular iPhone forum' - Simon's counterpart ( a moderator over there) very well spoken and trustworthy with his info just posted that an untethered jailbreak for '6.0.1' will be posted this weekend. Is that just flat wrong compared to all the tweeting that's been happening from Planetbeing and ipod2? Is there some 'hot shot' hacker that's nailed a jailbreak for 6.0.1 only without the help of the dev teams? Curious if anyone's heard about this or is it just another 'false alarm'?
Great group of people but they shouldn't of put a 3 in their name as they are 4
If you have not heard it from any of the four hackers listed, it should not even be considered.
Thanks Anthony.
Also what if 6.1 throws a wrench in the jailbreak and it takes longer? Or maybe doesn't happen at all.
Unfortunately people (not all) have forgot what a donation is a bout. Donating is what it is. To donate some money to someone with out strings. You donate to recognize hard work and appreciation. A lot of people donate to get something in return.
It's sad
Evad3rs?!?! this reminds me of Avengers
Were not worthy!!!
Has anyone noticed that their iPhone 5 wifi speeds are slower than their 4S? I was hitting 30Mbps on my 4S and rarely get over 20Mbps on my iPhone 5. I was hoping updating to 6.0.2 from 6.0 would have corrected the issue but it did not.
I thought the 5 was supposed to have faster wifi than the 4S?

Hello Rebeccamommyof2,
You are definitely not asking too much of your 7 year old. My 7 year old picks up after the dog (picks up the poo), feeds her, gives her water, and plays with her (runs her, throws the ball, etc. to give her exercise). This was a condition my husband made when we got the dog. The children would need to care for the dog in all respects or the dog would go back.
I think that the crux of the problem may be that your daughter started getting an attitude and throwing fits when she was about 4 years old, and that poor behavior was not corrected at that time. If this is how she normally responds when being asked to do something she doesn't want to do, then you can absolutely expect that she will do the same thing if asked to care for the dog, and she doesn't want to.
As you witnessed, when you first got the dog your daughter was fine caring for her. But after the "newness" wore off, it became a "chore" and it's apparent that she chooses to display a bad attitude when she doesn't want to do something that she should.
So here's what I would suggest. You need to curb the poor behavior in all areas, and not focus on the bad attitude being connected to the responsibilities with the dog. This is a bigger issue than the dog.
You can use the dog responsibilities to start training her to respond with a happy face whenever you give her direction, but don't focus only on the dog (i.e. don't say "We got you the dog you wanted because you agreed to take care of it. Now you need do do what you said you would do." That will only breed resentment in her because she will possibly think that she would rather not have the dog then have to care for it. Instead, you use individual chores to train her which might look something like this.
You ask her, kindly, to feed the dog.
She either ignores you or responds with a bad attitude and possibly throwing a fit.
You correct the poor behavior. If she just gets a bad attitude, or roles her eyes or does anything other than replying promptly with a good attitude, you can say, "I won't let you respond that way. You need to say, "Yes Mum, right away mum." and then you need to go and do what I asked you to do. Now go and get the dog's food and poor it in her bowl."
Just doing this, in a stern, loving voice may catch her off guard if she's not used to you taking control of the situation.
If she refuses, but has not yet thrown a tantrum, you can take her hand and guide her to the dog food and "help" her to do it. This is typically done with 3 year olds when these kinds of attitudes and tantrums start to surface, but it can definitely be done with a 7 year old who needs an "attitude adjustment".
If she then throws herself on the ground and throws a tantrum, you can take her to her room and tell her that she can come out when she has a smile on her face and is ready to feed the dog.
When she comes out, be sure you guide her to feed the dog right away and then say "Thank you for feeding the dog." The praise comes when she does the job the way you want, which is right away with a good attitude.
You will need to be consistent in correcting the poor behavior every single time it surfaces. If you notice that she has a bad attitude after watching TV, then you take TV away for awhile. If it's after playing with a friend, you take that away for awhile. She will earn the fun things by responding prompty and with a good attitude when asked to do things.
If your daughter is not being asked to pick up after the dog (pooh) you can also ADD this chore to her list. She is capable of doing it. But I would suggest correcting the attitude problem first, and then adding the "pick up" chore just in case she gets upset and wants to throw it. That wouldn't be a good thing.
Your daughter is also capable of helping out in the kitchen (preparing food), doing the dishes, setting the table, picking up after herself (and others) and a lot more. If you take a good week to consistently work on correcting the attitude and responding properly you'll have a different child on your hands a week from now. It takes work to train a child and often times parents just don't know what to do or how to do it.
Please let me know if this information has been helpful and post back when you've tried some things. Also post back if you want any specific ideas on how to handle a situation. We're here to help.
Warm regards,

DISCONNECTED: Charting The Charlotte Observer's Failure To Cover The Fight For Internet Access In North Carolina
Research ››› ››› BRIAN POWELL & SALVATORE COLLELUORI
CORRECTION: Media Matters has identified a serious error that resulted in the omission of several Charlotte Observer columns and articles discussing municipal broadband during the time of this debate. We cannot support our earlier conclusion that the Charlotte Observer did not inform its readers on the issue of North Carolina's "digital divide" over the past two years. Media Matters prides itself on a long history of accuracy in its media studies, and we apologize for the error.
Over the past two years, North Carolina's largest newspaper, the Charlotte Observer, has almost entirely ignored efforts to restrict broadband internet access for thousands of North Carolina residents -- efforts that proved successful after passage of the "Level Playing Field" law in 2011, effectively prohibiting underserved North Carolina communities from creating their own municipal broadband networks. Broadband internet access boosts a community's economic output and quality of education, creates jobs, increases government efficiency, and reduces the costs of doing business, but the readership of the Charlotte Observer was left in the dark on the debate.
What Is Municipal Broadband?
Municipal Broadband "Is The Building Of A Public Broadband Infrastructure" That Can Be Used For A Variety Of Purposes To Serve The Public. From CNET:
Municipal broadband is the building of a public broadband infrastructure that can be used as a platform to offer things like free public Wi-Fi in city spaces.
But free Wi-Fi paid for by taxpayer dollars and subscriptions to residential service is not its only use or business model. [...]
Public broadband infrastructure can be used to host applications for managing municipal services like surveillance, meter reading, controlling traffic lights, and administering databases, media and proprietary communications systems for police, firefighters, first responders and municipal workers. It can be used to offer things like VoIP for residents. [CNET.com, 6/6/07]
PTI Report: "Municipal Fiber Networks Can Increase Efficiency, Reduce Costs, Expand Opportunity And Help America's Public And Private Institutions Better Serve Its Citizens." According to a report by David Chaffee & Mitchell Shapiro published by Public Technology Institute:
Among the key lessons learned from these pioneers is that well-planned and well managed muni-fiber operations can pay for themselves. In fact, it is reasonable to expect that financial success will be even easier for future projects, given that FTTH construction costs have already fallen by as much as 40% from the prices paid to deploy the first generation of muni-fiber networks.
As this report has shown, investments in municipal fiber networks are not only able to generate enough revenue support their costs. Perhaps more importantly, they can provide a 21st century electronic equivalent of the 20th century public road network.
Like that road network, which was funded as a long-term investment in public infrastructure, municipal fiber networks can increase efficiency, reduce costs, expand opportunity and help America's public and private institutions better serve its citizens. And, in doing so, they can help revitalize local and regional economies, enhance the quality of life in American communities, and help these communities compete in a global marketplace in which other nations have taken an early lead in leveraging fiber's power. [Public Technology Institute, 2008]
Municipal Fiber To The Home [FTTH] Broadband Systems "Have Generally Been Successful To Date" With An Average Of 54% Of Those Offered The Service Subscribing To The System. According to a report by the Fiber To The Home Council:
Municipal FTTH [Fiber to the Home Broadband] systems have generally been successful to date. In some cases, as expected, projects have had to deviate from their original business plans in order to respond to realities and ensure success in the field. A number of systems have far exceeded original expectations, while a few others are behind early expectations... As of this printing, not a single muni FTTH system has failed.
In the case of muni systems, of which many are not for-profit enterprises, one measure of "success" is defined as the level of their "take rate" - that is, the percentage of potential subscribers who are offered the service that actually do subscribe. Nationwide, the take rates for retail municipal systems after one to four years of operation averages 54 percent. This is much higher than larger incumbent service provider take rates, and is also well above the typical FTTH business plan. Deployments usually require a 30-40 percent take rate to "break even" within planned payback periods. [FTTH Council, October 2009]
Report: "Many Communities Have Found That Public Ownership Is The Only Way They Can Achieve A Truly Competitive Information Economy." According to a May 2010 report by the New Rules Project:
At the local level, these communities understand that their interests are quite different from massive corporations. Companies have a fiduciary responsibility to do what is best for their shareholders, which may mean putting off network upgrades in rural communities and charging as much as the market will bear. However, unreliable networks and high prices hurt all citizens and businesses, which is why "public v. private" mischaracterizes the decision. The decision is between the needs of a whole community and one or two absentee companies.
Many communities have found that public ownership is the only way they can achieve a truly competitive information economy. A community with no power to create competition by requiring the private cable company to share its lines with competitors may choose to build its own network and allow independent service providers to compete fairly - creating a true market for broadband services. Rather than having to beg for upgrades to remain competitive, the community has the power to choose how quickly to invest in new technologies. Owning the network means an end to paying monopoly prices - and keeping that money in the community rather than exporting profits to distant shareholders. Given the supreme importance of broadband for modern commerce, owning the network is a key element of self-determination. [New Rules Project, May 2010, emphasis added]
ILSR: Municipal Broadband Initiatives Are Doing What Private Companies "Have Largely Refused To Do." From the Institute for Local Self-Reliance:
It should be understood that public entities are doing what the private entities have largely refused to do: overbuild existing networks. Most Americans have a choice between a single cable provider and a single DSL provider. The big cable companies have refused to compete with each other each other; Time Warner Cable has no interest in going head to head with Comcast. The largest telephone companies, AT&T and Verizon, have ceased their investments in next-generation wired networks to focus on higher returns from wireless investments. [Broadband At the Speed of Light: How Three Communities Built Next-Generation Networks, ILSR.org, April 2012]
Rural Communities Are At A Distinct Disadvantage When It Comes To Broadband Penetration: According to a study funded by the Rural Cellular Association:
[T]he broadband supply gap represents a critical issue for states with a considerable rural economy. While at the national level, unserved or underserved broadband households represent 6.1% of all households, this metric increases dramatically in rural geographies, for example reaching 14.0% in Kentucky, and 21.8% in West Virginia. Obviously, the supply gap, which measures service coverage, does not equate to penetration, which measures adoption of broadband. However, the rural lag still exists: while national broadband penetration has reached 64% of households, in Kentucky it is 54% and in West Virginia it is 52%.
It is expected that, even under universal coverage conditions, a portion of the non-adopting households would not be subscribing to broadband service simply due to demand issues such as affordability and educational factors. Nevertheless, unless these communities are given the opportunity to connect to the Internet, they will remain permanently marginalized and the economic penalty would be significant. [Rural Cellular Association, 2/24/11, emphasis added]
North Carolina And Other States Have Banned Or Severely Restricted Municipal Broadband Initiatives
North Carolina Passed The 'Level Playing Field' Law Restricting Municipal Broadband Initiatives. From the Triangle Business Journal:
The hope of extending a broadband network being built by the town of Chapel Hill to the municipal school system and to UNC-Chapel Hill has been thwarted by a new law that prohibits local governments from selling such service. [...]
The town's plans for its $500,000 network were changed with the passage of House Bill 129, titled "Level Playing Field/Local Government Competition" on May 21. [...]
The broadband law, which restricts municipal networks from selling high speed internet, essentially barring them from the consumer market, was passed after a five-year battle between municipal leaders across the state and the proponents of the bill, Time Warner Cable and CenturyLink. [Triangle Business Journal, 6/17/11, via Nexis, emphasis added]
- North Carolina's Anti-Municipal Broadband Law Will "Make It Almost Impossible For Cities To Build Their Own Broadband Networks. From Ars Technica:
The North Carolina bill is called the "Level Playing Field/Local Gov't Competition" act, intended to "protect jobs and investment by regulating local government competition." Opponents call it just the opposite--a cable industry-backed proposal intended to make it almost impossible for cities to build their own broadband networks. [...]
Apparently intended to prevent unfair competition from tax-subsidized business, the rule would actually put public networks at a disadvantage; private networks have long been able to offer "loss leader" offers and intro pricing to get people to sign up, and the large ISPs can all use profits from one area to subsidize below-cost prices in another. [...]
The bill has been so controversial that cities like Asheville and Raleigh, the state capitol, have passed resolutions urging the bill to be voted down. Raleigh's resolution asked the General Assembly to "promote competition by curtailing predatory pricing practices that are used to push new providers and public broadband services out of the market" and to "reject any legislation similar to the Level Playing Field bills that would have a chilling effect on local economies and would impede or remove local governments' ability to provide broadband services, including WiFi, to enhance economic development and improve the quality of life for their citizens." [Ars Technica, 3/30/11]
- Law Passed Despite Report Showing NC Is Home To Seven Of The Top Ten Worst Broadband Deals In The Country. From TechJournal.org:
Craig Settles, of Successful.com, a consulting firm with a heavy emphasis on municipal broadband and government use of mobile tech, tells us, "What we have here is a handful of corporations going into some of the most broadband-deficient states in the country, and subverting communities' efforts to claw their way into the digital 21st Century. These entrenched incumbents are trying to pass rules that would make even Google's support (similar to the Kansas City Gigabit City announcement) illegal. At least we're now getting some attention from DC."
That's not just talk. Bandwidth.com, which does broadband mapping, shows that seven of the ten U.S. cities with the worst broadband connections at price per Mbps are in North Carolina. They include Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Wilmington, and Charlotte. Columbia, SC, is also on the list. South Carolina is also considering a bill to restrict municipal broadband. [TechJournal.org, 4/5/11]
Nineteen States Have "Enacted Barriers" To Municipal Broadband Networks. From the Institute for Local Self-Reliance:
Nineteen states in the U.S. have enacted barriers to either make it difficult or impossible for communities to build publicly-owned networks. The map below displays states with barriers based on our analysis of whether they have an outright ban, a de facto ban, or various barriers to communities owning this essential infrastructure.
As peer nations surpass U.S. capabilities in broadband networks - the key infrastructure in the 21st century - eighteen states have decided to make it more difficult for their communities to build for themselves what the private sector will not. [MuniNetworks.org, accessed 4/4/12]
Three States Are Attempting To Enact Municipal Broadband Restrictions In 2012. According to the Baller Herbst Law Group, who has compiled a history of municipal broadband-related legislation, three states -- Georgia, South Carolina, and Minnesota -- are in the process of limiting publicly-owned networks in 2012. [Baller.com, accessed 4/4/12]
The Charlotte Observer Ignores Attacks On Municipal Broadband While The News & Observer Informs And Debates
The Charlotte Observer Has Mentioned "Level Playing Field" Once Since The Bill's Original Text Was Filed. The Charlotte Observer has discussed North Carolina's digital divide three times since April 2010, but only once since February 2011, when the "Level Playing Field" bill was filed:
- June 2010: In the "Regional briefs" section, the Observer briefly notes that the NC Senate Finance Committee approved a bill that would "impose a freeze on cities and towns that want to sell cheaper, faster Internet service than companies offer." [Charlotte Observer, 6/3/10, via Nexis]
- October 2010: A news item describes the impetus for a conference held by the Alliance for Digital Equality -- drastic disparity in broadband Internet access along socioeconomic lines. [Charlotte Observer, 10/1/10, via Nexis]
- April 2011: The only item published after the introduction of the "Level Playing Field" bill discusses the restrictive effects the law will have on the already established municipal network MI-Connection. [Charlotte Observer, 4/13/10, via Nexis]
In Contrast, Raleigh's News & Observer Has Provided Significant Coverage And Debate On Municipal Broadband Initiatives In Over A Dozen Items. Since April 2010, the News & Observer published 13 items furthering discussion of the push to ban municipal broadband in North Carolina -- over four times the coverage provided by the state's largest newspaper, the Charlotte Observer. The coverage included:
- Five straight news reports updating readers on Time Warner Cable's unsuccessful 2010 attempt to put a moratorium on municipal broadband development, the tens of thousands of dollars Time Warner and other telecoms spent to push through the "Level Playing Field" law in 2011, and Gov. Bev Perdue's (D) refusal to veto said law. [LexisNexis, 4/4/10-4/4/12]
- Four guest columns discussing the pros and cons of a ban on municipal broadband initiatives. [LexisNexis, 4/4/10-4/4/12]
- Three letters to the editor opposing the "Level Playing Field" bill. [LexisNexis, 4/4/10-4/4/12]
- One editorial questioning whether large corporate campaign contributions affected legislators' decisions to restrict municipal broadband. [LexisNexis, 4/4/10-4/4/12]
The above is a record of mentions of the "Level Playing Field" bill in the pages of North Carolina's two largest newspapers (the Charlotte Observer and Raleigh's News & Observer) during the bill's debate and after its controversial passage. The search was based on LexisNexis records going back two years (4/4/10-4/4/12), using a broad string of terms to ensure all related stories would be caught (string: broadband OR "municipal broadband" OR "community broadband" OR "municipal internet" OR "community internet" OR "municipal communicat" OR 129).

Post subject: Texans First round picks
I was just reading an Article that said that all but 2 of the Texans 12 first round picks have started at least 14 games as a rookie. The two that didnt were Travis Johnson and Whitney Mercilus
Does that mean we draft well or we have just been so bad for so long that rookies have had to start. we have a pretty good track record on 1st round picks
Daivd Carr - I still believe he would have been a franchise QB that the texans ruined by fielding a joke offensive line, and just bad coaching. By the time we got a coach that can develop QBs Carr was ruined
Andre Johnson - If he remains healthy i dont see any way he isnt top 10 all time in yards and catches, a steal even at #3 overall
Dunta Robinson - Was a dominate player as a rookie and while his ego grew bigger than his play, his play was always solid and he remains maybe not a great player, but a very solid starter
Jason Babin - Another guy who proved later on that while he seemed like a bust to the Texans, he was a worthy first round pick, he just wasnt a fit as an OLB, but as he showed in his pro bowl seasons post texans he was a very good player
Travis Johnson - The one true bust for the Texans, and it looks even worse when you think that we passed on some major talent in 2005 to get him. He fit a huge need, but never really progressed
Mario Williams - Perhaps the best draft day choice a #1 team has ever made. Reggie Bush was the no brainer and he defied that and went with Williams who did not disappoint
Amobi Okoye - I wouldnt call him a bust. Willis and Revis would have been better picks in hindsight, but how often does a 19 year old 4 year starter come along? He started off with a bang as a rookie, but he never developed into the guy we thought, funny thing is that he still just 25 years old. crazy to think a normal guy would be going into his 3rd or 4th make or break season and Okoye already has 7 years in the NFL
Starting in 2008, we have hit on every 1st round pick, and i think that is what has built our team, and gave Kubiak a reset button in 2010.
Duane Brown - boy was i wrong, and most of us were about him, He has turned out to be something special
Brian Cushing - Another guy that would be All World if he could stay on the field. Between health problems and suspensions he has missed a lot of time
Kareem Jackson - Jackson might never be a #1 shut down corner, but he showed this season that he can start in this league for a long time, and thats exactly what we need
JJ Watt
Whitney Merciless - Our first luxury pick in franchise history. We had never drafted a player in round 1 that we didnt need to start right away. While Travis Johnson didnt start, that was more to do with him than our needs. Merciless was good in limited action with 6 sacks and hopefully he will take another step forward
Hopkins - will the trend continue, we need it to

Easily Johnson. Putting Carr on the poll isn't fair because he had nothing around him and took a beating. It's surprising that he is still alive after what we subjected him too. Okoye never lived up to the hype but was an ok player. Travis Johnson never did anything or really showed much IMO

I'd argue Okoye because of the talent drafted around him. I wanted Revis or a trade up to Peterson. Willis and Lynch were right around Okoye, too.

We all have to keep in mind when judging Okoye is that wanting him instead of a trade up for Peterson is solely responisble for us have EliteTexan around

I don't think the talent around Okoye should matter though. They had nothing to do with his poor. Okoye was just a bad pick by the FO. I think him and Johnson would be a push. Carr is awesome. I should have solid his autographed rookie cards when I first pulled them from packs. I loved it at the time though. I got two of him the same week. I nearly fainted.

You forget, we traded back to pick Johnson. We could have picked Derrick Thomas. At least Okoye had at least 1 productive season with us (his rookie year, even though he hit a wall towards the end of his rookie year.) Johnson was horrible from his rookie year until his last year with us. The picks after Okoye sting a little, but Travis Johnson was our biggest bust IMO. There is a reason he is out the league.

If you are going to use the premise that Carr had no one around him, you could use it Okoye defense as well. Here is a 19 yr old rookie, with a defensive coordinator and system that, basically just sucked. There is no way he was going to learn or develope with the defensive coaches we had at the time. And, I personally think the jury is still out on Okoye.
I also think Carr's problems was more on Carr than the offensive line. That's not to say they were good, but the sack numbers were almost halved just by switching QB's with basically the same offensive line.
Travis Johnson was a worthless draft pick.

I'm conflicted on this. Always drives me nuts when blame for Carr's failure is placed solely on the o-line. First off, the Texans did have a decent "plan" as a line of Boselli - Pitts - McKinney - Weary - R. Young would have been solid. Whomever you blame (Jags, Boselli, Texans medical), it's not like the Texans took Carr with a plan of feeding him to the wolves as is commonly stated (he did get a future hall of fame WR in year 2). Year 2, I do place more direct blame on the Texans as holding out blind hope in Boselli's recovery (fool me once, shame on you... fool me twice, shame on me) and letting Young go and bringing in Weigert was grossly insufficient and exacerbated by the true worst pick in franchise history - Bennie Joppru in the 2nd round (regardless of the injury, he presented poor value even amongst TEs and there is no way TE was on the priority need radar). It got even worse the next year with painfully slow Seth Wand presented as a solution (which made missing out on Freeney in 02 that much more painful).
Simple fact was that we chose a year not unlike this past year that was lacking in any true franchise caliber QB (Carr, Harrington, Ramsey) and elevated Carr into the 1st overall based more on marketing potential than football potential. McNair and others had visions of the pretty boy All American QB drawing fan interest and loved his squeaky clean alter boy persona (that hid a poor work ethic, poor leadership skills, and soft demeanor). Carr was "tough" in the sense that he kept getting up after brutal beatings (game 2 vs. Chargers included 9 sacks and about 12 QB hits) but he was pampered in life and by the warm, fuzzy Texans and the rah rah media who refused to hold him accountable as the talent around him improved and he was still a turnover machine who seemed at a certain point to take sacks just to prove a point about his "plight." Worst of all, the guy became a quitter who was given a new lease on life when Kubiak came to town, but cowered when Kubs actually challenged him to improve and suggested that SOME of the blame for all the sacks and turnovers we're on him. I'm sorry, Schaub ended this debate in his first year by only getting sacked 16 times with a line in front of him not substantially better than the one Carr got sacked 68 times behind the year before. It's a fact all these people calling for fast, strong, mobile QBs needs to recall as Carr was all of the above, but he held the damn ball too long and never understood how destructive sacks and turnovers were vs. just throwing a ball away and winning the next play.
While initially Travis Johnson didn't quite meet the test as a "worst pick" candidate as the 2005 draft talent pool was perceived as shallow and Casserly got a 3rd rounder that became Eric Winston by moving back 3 spots and stockpiling into a talent filled 06 draft. The pick was maddening at the time because as usual the Chargers and Cowboys "scooped" us and grabbed our ideal picks Shawn Merriman, and Demarcus Ware the picks before and we missed both Jamaal Brown and Derrick Johnson before settling on TJ. It's hard to judge that draft as so many teams missed badly, but also hard to ignore that Casserly never grasped that the 3-4 is built upon OLBs getting to the passer, not DEs who he kept overpaying for in dollars (Gary Walker) and picks like TJ. Considering Capers and Fangio went on to do just fine at Green Bay and SF, I have to think Casserly was the problem especially went he went nuts and traded away our next two picks for Patrick Buchanon which was the final nail in his coffin.
That leaves Okoye to examine. Rick Smith's first pick was not unlike Casserly's first for us. The "idea" of Okoye was always better than the player as he seemed like the type you want to build around as a solid citizen and high upside based upon his post season and combine, but he was a good-not great college player in a soft Big East. The measurables showed up on occasion on broken plays, but he was never a penatrator and like Carr, just wasn't internally driven to excel at football the way you need to be to be a star. While I "get" the Okoye pick, it was a classic "swing for the fences pick" when we had solid doubles sitting there with Patrick Willis, Leon Hall, and Darelle Revis. Obviously Okoye was a swing and a miss while the others hit it out of the park, but like the Carr pick, it was exacerbated by our reluctance to call him out on his failure to develop which wasn't helped by the woeful hires of Richard Smith and Frank Bush.
Weighing those 3, I still give the nod to the David Carr pick primarily because Julius Peppers was so clearly the best player coming out and that we should have known better, having watched a far more talented QB in Tim Couch get destroyed for 3 years in relaunching the Browns franchise under the new restricted expansion rules that ensured we would stink for 3-4 years. We even hired the same coordinator that couldn't figure out a way to keep him from getting killed in Chris Palmer. For my money, it still made far more sense to stick a placeholder mobile QB like Jeff Blake or Charlie Batch back there (or Tony Banks) the first few seasons before plugging in the franchise QB. Gee, in 2004 we could have been players for Eli Manning, Phillip Rivers, Big Ben, or developed some guy named Matt Schaub.

It wasn't a choice, but my actual vote for worst #1 pick of all time would actually be Jason Babin. It is irrelevant that he became a decent player 6 years (and 5 teams) later after finding that Kyle Vandenbosch, Travis Laboy, Antwan Odom, Haynesworth, "secret sauce" to pass rush success (and no it wasn't Jim Washburn's superior coaching as that myth was exposed in Philly). The pick again showed just how clueless Casserly was in fitting talent to a 3-4 and how careless he was in burning draft picks for a developmental team with so many holes. Babin had no business in a 3-4 as a completely one dimensional upfield pass rusher who couldn't shed NFL blocks, couldn't cover, and couldn't be hidden on running downs. More than anything, the guy was the very personification of a dumb jock who couldn't learn NFL schemes or be taught technique, was painfully unathletic in anything that didn't involve lifting heavy weights or running in a straight line and Casserly must have missed the "Western" in his Western Michigan college resume.
However, the mortal sin in the pick was the compensation. We gave up a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th for Babin and a 5th. This was on top of Casserly peeing away a 2nd rounder (that would have been the #33 pick) on Tony Hollings in the supplemental draft (Cards grabbed Karlos Dansby at #33 instead). Remember, this was a 5-11 team folks! It's too easy to just plug in the best from each round, but that's why you play the numbers game to have a chance at finding Bob Sanders, Matt Schaub, and Jared Allen in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th vs. shooting your wad on a 1st round flyer on a small school workout wonder. Was just an absolutely ridiculously short sighted move for a team that was clearly several years away from a winning season, better yet going anywhere in the playoffs.

Getting back to the OP, this concept of "starting = success" has been a fundamental flaw in our evaluation of picks since inception. Even just looking at the first round picks, David Carr should have never been stuck out there once it was clear Boselli and Young weren't and we likely set the franchise back 5 years in doing so. Inserting Kareem Jackson as a rookie next to Quin and McCain with coverage challenged safeties behind him like Pollard, Wilson, Nolan was a suicide mission that wasted a playoff caliber offense with the o-line peaking, Foster bringing balance, and Walter/Jacoby/Dreessen contributing the best effort from the supporting cast, not to mention the damage and ridicule we exposed Kareem to which has broken many a DB (Jason David was "broken" in one game and we'll see what becomes of Rahim Moore in Denver).
I recall posters once extolling the greatness of "sleeper picks" like CC Brown, Zac Diles, Fred Bennett, Dom Barber, Troy Nolan, as if the fact they were starting so early made them great picks rather than representing the FAILURES of previous drafts. If Casserly doesn't throw away all of our 2nd and 3rd round picks in 04-05, we could have used those picks on guys who were actually talented enough to start at safety like Bob Sanders, Nick Collins, OJ Atogwe, Corey Webster, etc. If we just stayed put in 04 we could have paired Chris Gamble with Dunta and been set instead of all the picks burned finding the #2 including the Buchanon disaster, Bennett, Molden, etc. Zac Diles or even Adibi's brief stint starting was a complete product of the Texans and their fans settling for "just a guy" players and it took Cushing to show us that Greenwood, Diles, Clark etc were just taking up space out there vs. making plays that impact games. Barber/Nolan and all the other street garbage we ran out there at safety was the most maddening of all especially in a division dominated by Peyton's Colts. Hell, imagine where we might be if we had just started out with Ed Reed in 2002 instead of Carr. Daniel Manning finally showed what had been missing and I hope we get few glimpses of what Ed Reed could do and make this a major 2013 priority as I think Swearinger will be a good #3 in the box improvement for today, but not a long-term answer at FS for tomorrow.
We may come to view Hopkins as an inspired coupling of need/value, but lets not define his success based on him being a likely day 1 starter. If Johnathan Cyprien ends up being what many think he will, we may look back and wonder if having Terence Williams starting alongside AJ wouldn't have been just fine even if Cyprien WASN'T a day one starter, but a star for a decade. Again, even having to take Hopkins needs to be viewed through the lens of the poor value of Posey / Martin when we could have had Randle & Hilton (or my preference Dwayne Allen & Hilton or Givens). Heck, instead of reaching up for Brandon Harris we could have grabbed Torrey Smith or Randall Cobb. If we didn't burn the 2nd rounder on Ben Tate we could have had Golden Tate, Emmanuel Sanders, or Eric Decker. Again, don't view these things in a vacuum as we have bypassed plenty of talent to create a hole as large as we had at WR.
For me, the Duane Brown pick and my kneejerk reaction was a learning point as to truly waiting those 3-4 years to truly judge a pick and maybe Kareem will drive the point home further if he takes another step this year. Heck, look where the Cowboys were in 08 and how popular the Felix Jones and Mike Jenkins picks were relative to ours and both of those guys are already out of the league and we've got the best LT in the game. Heck the Steelers used to never start rookies but Mendenhall seemed like such a can't miss fit they couldn't pass him up, yet they've cratered the past few seasons with no LT and Mendenhall is already ancient history. Wouldn't it be a bizarro world if the Raiders found gold in Menelik Watson or Jerry found himself a 10 year starter in Frederick while we just plugged what we thought was a final hole at #2 WR? Just sayin...

Nothing relevant but that's just a cool video to watch.
Early in his career before he had those lower-body injuries, he really had some speed which is what I sort of forgot about. His instincts as a runner are the highlight of that video though, I think.
He was so tough to bring down and could burst through the hole like a real top RB should. The play where he broke 6 tackles was a trip to watch, too. He always had that toughness.
To me, it's just amazing to see how superbly talented he really was and how there have actually been a few stand-out players over the last decade in Miami. Not a ton, but clearly, early Ronnie Brown was a BEAST!

I miss DTRB, he was such a great RB before his injuries started to pile up. If he didn't get injured, I think he could have been the best RB in Miami. Unfortunately he is a shell of his former self right now. I saw him play for SD a couple of weeks ago and he was so average at best. If we could put Tannyhill and DTRB from right out of college together we could be amazing.

When I think of Ronnie Brown I get depressed wondering what could have been. He was a clearly talented RB that could never be successful due to injuries. Still one of my favorite Dolphins of the last decade.

He did dance too much! When did I say he didn't?
Nah, but for real I have shifted my view on that. I will say, I complained about 'dancing' when Cameron was implementing his offense and its ZBS. I see Reggie Bush doing the same thing now which I think is "pressing the line" while waiting for a cut-back lane. When there's limited blocking and no cut-back lane all you can do is dance, so now I understand why we see that so much and why we did back in 2007 as well.
One problem I do credit to Reggie though is his tendency to still break the run outside even when there is a clear lane. To me, this is only going to irritate his blockers. I see a clear difference in the authority of our run-blocking when Thomas & Miller are handed the ball.
In that regard, Ronnie Brown was a great back. Look at those highlights and how well he explodes past his blockers and how well he's able to use them in the second-level.
Ronnie Brown had instincts as a running back because early on he had speed, power and vision all available to him.
To me, Reggie Bush is limited because his power is very low and he's actually limited in his vision so much as I can tell. He misses way too many creases and lanes with his tendency to bounce it outside. I don't think, at this point in his career, he's going to change who he is.
Good dude. Superb work ethic. Excellent runner. Average RB.
But this was really just a thread to comment on how ballin' Ronnie Brown was for a few years here. Great character, too. Wish he could've had greater success in Philly or San Diego.

I completely agree with Jaytotha. DTRB was on track to be a great RB until he got injured the first time. Once that happened he started really dancing and could not return to his form.

I still stand by it. He danced in the hole to much. He was a good running back but Ricky was way better IMO.

Good running back, one of my all time favorite players but also one of the most frustrating. Never got even close to his potential (besides the Cameron year) due to his hesitance.

I'm sorry, but I do not see why people loved Ronnie Brown so much.
He underachieved, was always injured, and for a 230 RB....hit the hole like a "scat" back. He never developed into the "take the game over" type of running back. He was drafted solely because Ricky Williams decided that weed was better then football and still had only a portion of the ability Ricky had. Ronnie Brown had limited vision and somewhat poor instincts as a RB....the physical tributes where there....they just didn't translate to field as well as they should have.

osasko 04/18/10 03:03 AM
Sam Bradford has all the college credentials needed for a 2 year career, but he isn't worth the number one pick or a Top 5 pick for that matter. He is a second round at best talent being pushed to the top of the draft by false hopes. He may have added bulk but is easily dinged up and not ready to run an NFL offense. His career path as a top 5 pick will be that of a bust, but if he came in as a second rounder that, in the right system,can learn for two years from the bench and maybe be somewhat productive.
jnols 04/16/10 04:06 PM
I don't think Bradford would be a good pick for the Rams. He's injury prone, and would most likely be beat up just like QB Marc Bulger was in a pass-happy division. Suh is what they need, and is the safest pick. If the Rams traded Atogwe and the 33rd overall pick for McNabb, or even Kolb, they could then trade the #1 overall pick to TB for a nice #3 pick replacement for Atogwe in Eric Berry, and probably get a decent upgrade in round 2 from TB's 42nd pick if Tampa wants Suh bad enough.

kvnwillshire 03/02/10 11:15 AM
Anywhere between 1-9. And him falling to #9 would be just as surprising as Rodgers falling to #24. Rams, Seattle, Cleveland, Oakland and Buffalo all needs QBs. If the Redskins decide to move on from Campbell then they will draft him, assuming he's there.
Horcasitas 03/01/10 07:18 PM
The best decision Bradford ever made was to stay in school. If he'd come out last year he would have gone to the black hole that is Detroit and he would have suffered the same fate as Stafford. Now he'll go to a team that can afford to sit him a year and get him an elite LT to protect him. There are 3 teams in the top ten that need a franchise QB. He won't fall further than Seattle and he probably won't fall that far.

If Bradford goes to Washington then he will put up great numbers...He will have a coach that will tell him to sling it down the field...I wonder why none of the great QB's are coaching anyone now? Marino, Montana, Elway, Nameth the list goes on and on....None of them are trying to teach the next generation how to play football?
Oh well........

Anger can be a form of emotional poison. I help clients understand the sources of their anger and find more appropriate ways to channel their feelings. Anger can be transformed into a new range of insights and feelings. I also teach stress management techniques so that the client lives from a place of calm rather than chronic anger. With practice, clients will create new neural pathways of peacefulness.
