Post subject: [UMN]'s Home Stretch Mock
After finishing with a sub .500 record yet again with no real progress being shown, Zygi Wilf decides it is time to move on from Leslie Frazier. After appointing Spielman to General Manager last year, Wilf gives Spielman the opportunity to pick his own head coach and put his stamp on the team. After interviewing multiple candidates, Spielman makes an interesting decision and hires current Broncos offensive coordinator
Mike McCoy
One of the biggest issues with the previous coaching staff in Minnesota was the inability to make adjustments both during the season and during games. McCoy has shown that he excels at adapting to new situations and making adjustments during the season when he was forced to completely re-work the Denver offense mid-season in 2011 when Tim Tebow was made the starter, and then again in 2012 when Peyton Manning was brought in.
In 2009, then-Broncos QB Kyle Orton enjoyed a career year under McCoy, posting career highs in virtually every passing category. The following year, the Broncos passing attack ranked seventh in the NFL, and Orton ranked fourth in the league in passing yards per game. In 2011 to accommodate Tim Tebow's skill-set, and the Broncos led the NFL in rushing, and in 2012 with Peyton Manning the Broncos have one of the best passing attacks in the league.
McCoy also brings along former Viking
Jack Del Rio
from Denver to serve as the Assistant Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator, effectively running the defense while McCoy can focus on the offensive side of the ball. McCoy runs a variant of the WCO, which will be an easy transition for Christian Ponder, and Del Rio will carry over his attacking 4-3 defense from Denver. One big change will be Chad Greenway moving back to WLB, with Everson Griffen starting at SLB in a role similar to Von Miller in Denver.
RB Matt Asiata - not resigned
WR Jerome Simpson - not resigned
WR Michael Jenkins cut
WR Devin Aromashodu - not resigned
WR Stephen Burton cut
TE John Carlson - cut
OL Joe Berger - not resigned
OL Mark Asper - not resigned
LB Jasper Brinkley - not resigned
LB Marvin Mitchell - not resigned
LB Tyrone McKenzie - not resigned
S Andrew Sendejo - not resigned
P Chris Kluwe cut
Even a casual fan knows that the WRs and LBs on the 2012 Vikings did not get the job done, and Spielmans first move is to gut both units. The only WRs left on the team are Percy Harvin and Jarius Wright. Underperforming and overpaid veterans John Carlson and Chris Kluwe are also let go. Jasper Brinkley is a decent player but not a great fit in the 4-3 and will earn Minnesota a late round comp pick in 2014.
FB Jerome Felton - resigned 4 years
OG Geoff Schwartz - resigned 1 year
OT Phil Loadholt - resigned 4 years
DT Kevin Williams - resigned 3 years
LB Erin Henderson - resigned 1 year
CB AJ Jefferson - resigned 3 years
CB Marcus Sherels - resigned 3 years
S Jamarca Sanford - resigned 1 year
WR Percy Harvin extended - 5 years
DE Jared Allen extended - 4 years
WR Greg Jennings (GB) signed - 4 years
Spielman makes it a point to address the WR position early and makes a big splash by bringing in Greg Jennings from Green Bay. He knows the fans will revolt if the offense doesnt improve, and adding a premiere veteran WR is a big step towards doing so. Outside of Jennings the Vikings focus on internal free agents by bringing back Phil Loadholt, Kevin Williams, Jerome Felton and AJ Jefferson while also extending the contracts on Percy Harvin and Jared Allen who are set to become free agents after the 2013 season. Erin Henderson and Jamarca Sanford are also brought back for depth purposes after they test the FA market without finding any real interest.
1. LB CJ Mosley, Alabama
After missing out on his #1 target (Manti Teo) and the high-end WRs, Spielman decides to trade back in the 1st and grab his 2nd rated 4-3 LB, while picking up an extra 2nd round pick. Mosley will be a tremendous addition in the middle of the defense, and will be a leader from day 1. He is an all-around great linebacker, able to play the run, drop into coverage and rush the passer.
2. DT Kawann Short, Purdue
Due to the wealth of DT talent in this class, it is inevitable that a couple top notch DTs will fall into the 2nd round. The Vikings get lucky and are able to pick up Short who will add a big boost to the interior pass rush and is solid against the run. With the addition of Mosley and Short the Vikings defense should be much more stout up the middle.
2. WR DaRick Rogers, Tennessee Tech
DaRick is probably the most talented WR in this class, he just needs to get his head on straight. However, the last time the Vikings bet on a WR with character issues (Harvin) it paid off handsomely. Greg Jennings is the perfect veteran mentor for a WR like Rogers, and Minnesota is a perfect place for a kid like DaRick to cool his heels. A combo of Jennings/Harvin/Rogers/Wright puts Ponder in a great situation. Throw in Peterson and Rudolph and you have a deadly, balanced offense.
3. G Gabe Jackson, Mississippi State
I would argue that OG is the biggest need on the team, and adding a big body like Gabe Jackson is an absolute necessity. Jackson provides great push in the running game and paired with Kalil and Sullivan really solidifies the blind side for Ponder. With Schwartz taking over for Fusco on the right side and resigning Loadholt the OL should be ready to roll.
4. S Rashard Hall, Clemson
This is a very deep safety class, and although Harrison Smith has one spot locked up, the other safety spot is still an open competition. Sanford is best in a ST/reserve role, and Mistral Raymond hasnt done enough to say he doesnt need some competition. Between Raymond, Sanford, Hall and Blanton hopefully we can find one guy who can step up.
4. DE Margus Hunt, Southern Methodist
With Everson Griffen taking over at SLB and Brian Robisons contract expiring after 2013, adding a LDE is a bit of a priority. Hunt is a huge DE at 68 and 275+ pounds, and is a great fit as a run-stuffing LDE. Similar to Robison, Hunt is also a shotputter who won gold medals for Estonia in the 2006 Junior World Championships in both shotput and discus, and more importantly he has blocked more kicks than anyone in NCAA history (17).
5. WR Conner Vernon, Duke
Vernon lacks elite size or speed, but he is just flat out productive. He is the current NCAA active leader with 3630 receiving yards, 2nd with 280 catches and has at least one reception in every game he has played, while only missing 1 game in 4 years. He is a great route runner who knows how to create separation and has extremely reliable hands. He will never be a #1 WR, but every team needs someone reliable who can come off the bench and make a difference
6. WR Aaron Mellette, Elon
Mellette may be from a small school, but his prototypical size and excellent production makes him a very intriguing prospect. If he has good offseason workouts and runs well at the combine he could shoot up draft boards very quickly. Currently he is one of the best sleeper WR prospects in this class.
UDFA. P Jeff Locke, UCLA
Chris Kluwe is one of my favorite Vikings, but he has been terrible this year, and you simply cannot hang onto a punter that makes that many mistakes. Also from UCLA is Jeff Locke, who has a booming leg and has consistently been able to flip the field for the Bruins as a punter, ranking among national leaders in net punting throughout his entire career.
UDFA. CB Brandon McGee, Miami
McGee is a former top recruit that hasnt lived up to expectations at Miami. Coaches rave about his natural athleticism and football ability, but he hasnt been able to put it together on the field yet. Definitely worth a look as a UDFA.

My only real complaint is I just don't see Everson Griffen working out as a LB. He would have to show much more than he did during the preseason.
I must be the only one but I feel Robison would be better in a stand up linebacking role. He just seems better in space.

Love the veteran wide receiver. Love the first few picks. Love a new starting guard.
not sure about Kluwe being cut. Not sure Griffin is a linebacker, nut since they refuse to really rotate the dline, like they should, I guess it is worth a shot. Not sure about extending Allen.....he has disappeared a lot this year. I would be looking at dealing him, but no way Spielman does that....

Not much to complain about. I have heard Denver fans complain about the Broncos offensive playcalling, but I guess that falls more on the coordinator. I love Kawann Short but he more of a UT, I personally feel that we need that space eater to get back to the run defense we are used to.

I can't comment on McCoy's playcalling, but his offensive production even with terrible QB's is pretty impressive.
I think another interior pass rusher is more important than a 2-gap NT in a 4-3. You can still have a great run defense with 1-gap rushers if the LB'ers are decent at shedding blocks. Getting disruption in the backfield and blowing up the line is just as important as occupying blockers.

I didn't even think about this, but that may be true. I think Griffen has more sideline-to-sideline speed, but Robison has better short area quickness.

You simply can't keep a punter around that shanks as many kicks as Kluwe has this season. He has been great over the years but his performance this year is inexcusable.

I would only want to see Griffin in at LB in a scheme like what Denver uses with Von Miller where the SLB blitzes the majority of the time and is really just a 5th pass rusher.

Honestly, this is excellent. Very well done. I love getting Short and Mosley to bolster the defense, and I think you drafted a Guard right where we should draft one. I also absolutely love the additions of Greg Jennings and Da'Rick Rodgers because even if Ponder fails, we'll have two rock-solid weapons (one established, the other upstart) for the next QB to step right in and work with. I'm a fan of this mock, for sure, nice work, hombre.

I like it.
FA - I'm a big fan of Greg Jennings.
1st - If Ogletree's off the field issues scare away the team or if he isn't available, Mosley would easily be my next choice.
2nd(a) - I would prefer a bigger, run stopping NT, but Short would be too good of value to pass up in the 2nd, and if he doesn't fall, I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Jesse Williams does.
2nd(b) - Love the Da'Rick Rogers pick.
3rd - Good spot for an OG.
I'm not sure about Griffin as a full time SLB, but if he's used as an aggressive, pass rushing LB, it could work.

I like it but I can't get on board with Rogers. He hasn't dominated weak competition so that has me fearful on what happens when he faces a large step up.

Home prices make largest jump in nearly seven years
Home prices are up by the biggest margin in nearly seven years. The latest S&P/Case-Shiller index shows a 9.3% jump year over year for the month of February, which beat analyst expectations in the 20-city survey. The Phoenix market showed the biggest gains, where home prices are up 23%. S&P Committee Chairman David Blitzer says housing continues to be a bright spot in the economy, despite mixed economic reports for the month of March.

InsulinomaInsuloma; Islet cell adenoma
An insulinoma is a tumor in the pancreas that produces too much insulin.
The pancreas is an organ in the abdomen. The pancreasmakes several enzymes and hormones,including the hormone insulin. Insulin's job is to reduce the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood by helping it move into cells.
Most of the time when your blood sugar level drops too low, the pancreas stops making insulin until your blood sugar returns to normal. Tumors of the pancreas that produce too much insulin are called insulinomas. Insulinomas keep making insulin, even when your blood sugar drops too low.
A high blood insulin level causes alow blood sugar level (hypoglycemia). Hypoglycemia may be mild, leading to symptoms such as anxiety and hunger. Or it can be severe, leading to seizures, coma, and even death.
Insulinomas are rare tumors. They usually occur as single, small tumors in adults.
These tumors are very rare in children. Most children with high blood insulin levels have many areas of overactive insulin-releasing cells in the pancreas, instead of a single tumor.
More than 90% of insulinomas are non-cancerous (benign) tumors. People with the genetic syndrome called multiple endocrine neoplasia type I are at riskof insulinomas and other endocrine tumors.
- Anxiety
- Behavior changes
- Clouded vision
- Coma
- Confusion
- Convulsions
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Hunger
- Loss of consciousness
- Rapid heart rate
- Sweating
- Tremor
- Weight gain
Exams and Tests
After fasting, your blood may be tested for:
- Blood C-peptide level
- Blood glucose level
- Blood insulin level
- Drugs that cause the pancreas to release insulin
CT or MRI scan of the abdomen, or PET scanmay be done to look for a tumor in the pancreas. If the test is negative, one of the following tests may be performed:
- Endoscopic ultrasound
- Octreotide scan
- Pancreatic arteriography
- Pancreatic venous sampling for insulin
Surgery is the recommended treatment for insulinoma. The tumor is first found by tests or surgery. Medication may be used to get patients stable before surgery.
If there is a single tumor, it will be removed. If there are many tumors, part of the pancreas will need to be removed (partial pancreatectomy). At least 15% of the pancreas must be left to produce its enzymes for digestion. This may prevent the surgeon from removing the whole insulinoma tumor.
In rare cases, the entire pancreas is removed if there are many insulinomas or they continue to come back.Removing the entire pancreas leads to diabetes because there is no longer any insulin being produced. Insulin injections are then required.
If no tumor is found during surgery, or if you are not a candidate for surgery, you may get the drug diazoxide to lower insulin production andprevent hypoglycemia. A diuretic (water pill) is given with this medication to prevent the body from retaining fluid. Octreotide is used to reduce insulin release in some patients.
Outlook (Prognosis)
In most cases, the tumor is non-cancerous (benign), and surgery can cure the disease. But a severe hypoglycemic reaction or the spread of a cancerous tumor to other organs can be life-threatening.
Possible Complications
- Severe hypoglycemic reaction
- Spreading of a cancerous tumor (metastasis)
- Diabetes if the entire pancreas is removed (rare)
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you develop any symptoms of insulinoma. Convulsions and decreased consciousness are an emergency -- call 911 or your local emergency number right away.

Software configuration management (SCM) techniques have a reputation as something to tolerate as a necessary evil, in spite of the fact that they appear to make development more complicated.
With time, developers see the benefit of version control, but often they have the impression that SCM is "important" in some not understood way. The fear is particularly acute when it comes to codeline management, especially when the word "branch" is mentioned.
In this article I will explain the concept of Agile Software Configuration Management, and give an example of how one of the more feared codeline management concepts; the branch, can be understood as a tool for agility. This is one example of why version management is part of the software developer's toolkit, even the agile developer's toolkit.
What Is Agile Software Development?
In his book, Agile Software Development Ecosystems , Jim Highsmith says that "Agility is the ability to both create and respond to change in order to profit in a turbulent business environment." A team that practices agile software development, is one that is responsive rather than weighed down by process and which embraces these values (From the Agile Manifesto: www.agilemanifesto.org):
- To value individuals, interactions processes, and tools
- To value working software over comprehensive documentation
- To value customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- To value responding to change over following a plan
Agile and SCM
Developers often fear that SCM techniques beyond basic version management, will add complexity to the development process and slow down progress. It is true that inappropriate use of SCM techniques, such as branching, can do more harm than good to your project. The correct application of SCM tools and techniques can give you the courage to forge ahead quickly since you know that there will be little risk that you will get lost.
SCM is often associated with heavyweight "Process." When you apply SCM appropriately, it becomes a tool to enable your approach to software development to help you work more effectively. Let's detail a few of the ways Agile SCM applies the values of the Agile Manifesto.
Individuals and Interactions over Processes and Tools
SCM Tools should support the way that you work, not the other way around. Often, the reason behind frustrating SCM processes is due to trying to fit a tool that imposes a process into an organization that needs a much different kind of process.
Working Software over Comprehensive Documentation
SCM can automate development policies and processes with executable knowledge over documented knowledge. This way, you can both make things easy for developers, and ensure that necessary procedures are followed by writing scripts instead of documenting procedures.
Customer Collaboration over Contract Negotiation
SCM should facilitate communication among stakeholders and help manage expectations. By using the appropriate codeline structures you can make it easier to create snapshots of the current state of the system. This also makes it easier for stakeholders to see them.
Responding to Change over Following a Plan
SCM is about facilitating change, not preventing it. Create codeline structures that isolate the components that need to be kept stable from those that are in active development. Don't make the entire team move at the pace of the more restrictive components. To understand how to structure codelines for agility, you need to understand the concepts of codeline and codeline policies.
Agile Codelines
A codeline is a progression of the set of source files, and other artifacts, which make up software components as they change over time. You can have multiple codelines for a project that are independent of each other. For example, you can do your development work

The MCA's dream team
Meet two new faces revamping the museum—and one longtime staffer with a groundbreaking new role.
Wed Nov 2 2011
Photograph: Paul Mpagi Sepuya.
Naomi Beckwith
Naomi Beckwith, curator
Will shake up the MCA by deepening the conversation on works by artists of color
What that will mean to you Exhibitions from artists like Brussels-based Jimmy Robert, who in 2008 invited visitors to London's Cubitt Gallery to rip pieces of tape off his back while he read aloud reviews of Yoko Ono's Cut Piece
About a year before Beckwith moved to Chicago to accept a curator position at the MCA, retail giant J.Crew featured the 35-year-old—then the associate curator at the Studio Museum in Harlem—in its March 2010 catalog, with a nod to her recent show "30 Seconds Off an Inch." The exhibit looked at the way people extrapolate political and social meanings, often incorrectly, from artwork when they know the artist is black. Critics praised her ambition—something she brings with her to the MCA, where her focus isn't just showing more black artists, but also facilitating the discourse surrounding their works. She's quick to point out this is different than talking about race: "Someone said at a show I curated before, 'You didn't talk about race.' And I said, 'Well, it wasn't about race.' "
Since joining the MCA in May, the willowy Beckwith has been busily in conversation: with artists, colleagues, trustees, committee members and museum visitors. "The best thing any curator can do is talk to multiple groups of people—those who have no familiarity with [art] to people who absolutely know art history and contemporary work," she says.
Beckwith, who grew up in Hyde Park, remembers going to the DuSable Arts and Crafts Festival each year with her family, sneaking into the Art Institute of Chicago with friends ("We had all sorts of schemes for cheating the box office") and experiencing a particularly transformative moment at an Odilon Redon exhibition at the Art Institute in the early '90s. "The theme of the show was something about a dream, and the works were organized by medium," she says. "That was the first time I realized that there was someone organizing the way I received this artwork." As an undergrad at Northwestern in the late '90s, she decided to veer away from her pre-med studies and toward art history.
Living back in Chicago allows Beckwith to spend more time with her family, particularly her nieces and nephews, whom she often brings to the MCA. She also hops around to other galleries. "I really enjoy spending informal time with artists, talking about the world, about what interests them, and really getting a sense of how the artistic mind frames the universe," she says. "I am also a huge fan of the performing arts: I often see live music, dance and theater. To me, contemporary culture is about how all the creative disciplines respond to and re-create the world we live in."
At the MCA, Beckwith will help curate "Chicago Works" (a revamped version of the popular UBS 12x12 series). She'll also manage Martin Creed's upcoming yearlong residency and is organizing her first major exhibition for the museum, to debut in August and feature Brussels-based artist Jimmy Robert. "He's doing really beautiful photographic work that extends into sculpture and film work that's really inspired by the feminist New Wave filmmakers," Beckwith says. "I'm really interested in what it means for this young man to take up these terms—now and as a man."

what is the correct way to cite a newspaper article located in Trove?
what is the correct way to cite a newspaper article located in Trove?
When you have clicked on the newspaper article that you want to cite you will see at the top of the Electronically Translated Text area (on the left of screen) six blue buttons in a row. The fifth one is Cite. Click on that and you will see a variety of citation formations to choose from.
G'day Infotech,
How exactly to cite a reference all depends on which of the several 'standards' you wish to use, or are required to use for a particular publication/organisation.
The easy way to obtain a citation is to use the "Cite" button available in Trove. When you are viewing an article, or even a page of articles, you will see a "Cite" button at the top of the column on the left.
When you click this button you will get a floating window with various versions of a citation to that particular article, each of which conform to some of the common citation standards. You can copy and paste the one you want and do with it as you please.
In addition to the citations there is also an "Article identifier" link that provides a permanent weblink to that article, which you can also copy and insert wherever you like. As well as that at the bottom there are 'Endnote' and 'BibTex' downloads that provide citations that will work with these two examples of bibliographic software.
Spoilt for choice !?!
Sorry, we were both obviously posting an answer at the same time.

Re: Lose out
That's why somehow in a game where Flacco posted a 120+ QB rating and accounted for 21 points, he's still somehow primarily responsible for the loss. The defense gets a pass because of injuries. The OL gets a pass because "nobody expects the LT to do his job every snap, and the QB has to be aware of that and account for it" (Seriously, I really love this one.)
The coaches get a pass because it's not their fault that players don't execute. But the QB doesn't get a pass because he never has and never will in this town, a town that would probably spit on Tom Brady (who gave up an awful sack-fumble and 3 picks in the 09 playoffs if you remember) or Peyton Manning (who has thrown picks in 4 straight games this year alone)

Re: Lose out
The strip/fumble was just a good play by Jackson, same guy who got a pick 6 off his hsoe laces against the Bengals, I think. Oher could have blacked him better but he had his hand on Flacco's hand in like 2 seconds. I can't put that one on Joe.

Re: Lose out
I thought I would chime in, since there are 50 the world is ending threads going on and I am among the biggest detractors of John Harbaugh I'd like to set something straight.
In the end, it is all a game. Period, life goes on, win or lose. I'd never want to see the team lose out. In fact, I wish more than anything John Harbaugh would alter his method of coaching and win us a Super Bowl and then I would endure years of admonishment from the Raven Fanbase establishment.
Is that likely to happen? No, winning a Super Bowl is damn hard, I mean we were within a catch last year of going. Odds are the team so banged up with injuries are going to have a hard time of it.
But, there was a Packer team that had 13 starters on IR, and they got hot, red hot at the right time. Anything is possible in the game of football, it is what makes it the perfect sport.
Now, there was some crying over my sig pic and comments on another thread about telling John "fuck you" after his presser. Big deal, I tell my best friend that all the time when he is trying to sell me a line of bullshit. No matter how I feel about the man as a coach, I wish him no ill outside of coach better or go coach somewhere else. Okay, the latter more.
But wanting the team to 'fail' for the rest of the year, for a draft pic, or to cost John his job is insane. Who doesn't want Ed Reed to walk off into the sunset with a ring? Losing out would make that almost impossible.
Re: Lose out
What a shameful thread! More importantly, as pointed out, we most likely still win the division at 9-7 because of tie-breaking advantages. It's about 70% we win the division, 30% we win the sixth seed. So just hope they win the last three, and go into the playoffs, with a head of steam.
Re: Lose out
Speaking of losers, did anyone catch Marty Ass this morning?
Here the hated Skins beat us and he's happy for them and their
long suffering fans. They finally have a football team if only their
owner will stay out of things.
We hate Pissburgh and DC more than anyone. DC kept us out of the
league for 12 years. We could have had the Patriots when Kraft
wanted to move them here but Cook blocked them out.
Bmore was Skins territory. Even when Tags announced the expansion teams he said the Skins were moving to Laurel so that takes care of Baltimore. Sure, with all the season tickets sold out to Skins fans
and they had a waiting list.
We didn't like them even before that but Marty Ass loves them
and is happy for them the day after they beat us and knocked us
down in the seed position for the POs.
That Ass just doesn't get it. He also had Gibbs on his morning show
when he came back because the Ass had a Nascar website and Gibbs owned a car.
He also had TP and other Squeelers on talking about their good works instead of Mason or Birk talking about their foundations.
Once he was MC at the Lyric and they booed him so loud he couldn't speak. The same thing happened to his pal John Buren when he was MC at the new stadium's very first game and they had to take him
off the field w/o saying a word. He's now out of TV.
Marty Ass should be too.
He just doesn't get it.

Re: Lose out
Honestly, I think that the best way to handle the Redskins fans is just to be polite to them and try to coexist. They can't say anything if our team is taking care of business, and the fans are acting like they've been there before. It seems like they're the one that takes this "rivalry" seriously, but so many of our fans give in and fan the flames. Just be the better man and walk away.

Item # SH-ARK
The Soft/Hard Arkansas Combination Stone is made of a stone called novaculite. This stone, quarried in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas and Oklahoma, is almost pure silica which makes a great surface for sharpening knives and tools.
The Soft/Hard Arkansas Combination Stone gives you a medium and a fine grit. This combination offers you an economical combination grit stone. When paired with a coarser India stone, this combo stone will give you a good value for sharpening knifes and tools.
The handsome wooden box keeps the stone safe when not in use. The Soft/Hard Arkansas Combination Stone is now available in 3 sizes to fit your needs. The 6" x 2" x 1" is a medium sized stone that is popular due to the good size and value. If you do a lot of sharpening, you'll appreciate the large 8" x 2" x 1" stone; its generous size allows for longer strokes to speed up the sharpening process. Newest to the line is the very large 10" x 2 1/2" x 1" stone; this size is great for sharpening very large knives and tools.
Proudly quarried and made in the USA.
Q. I see that the Soft Arkansas side is rated as medium, isn't that rather coarse?
A. We carry many stones that are deemed "medium" but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are all the same. The Soft Arkansas side is considerably more fine then a medium India or Silicon Carbide stone. The Soft Arkansas is in fact finer than a fine India or Silicon Carbide stone.
Q. Is the Hard Arkansas side fine enough for the final grit?
A. Like many questions in sharpening, this question doesn't have a simple yes or no answer. The Hard Arkansas is finer than the vast majority of sharpening stones on the market so it will give you superior overall results. If you're looking for an even finer edge, we recommend going to a Hard Black Arkansas or using a leather strop.

The Fender Deluxe Series offers upgraded, yet affordable versions of the classic electric guitars, basses, and amplifiers that first revolutionized popular music over fifty years ago, from the iconic Telecaster and Stratocaster to the Precision Bass and Jazz Bass, as well as newer, series-exclusive favorites like the Deluxe Jaguar Bass and Acoustasonic Tele.
The Deluxe Series instruments boast classy touches like gold hardware and tortoiseshell pickguards; enhanced tonal options with beefed-up pickups and innovative switching controls; and effortless playing with smooth-feeling, fast-action necks and that legendary Fender design. The Deluxe Series began in 1997 with the Nashville Tele, a brawny twang machine which now features three Tex-Mex pickups, with a Tex-Mex Strat in between two Tex-Mex Tele single-coil pickups, and special five-way Strat-o-Tone switching. Available with rosewood or maple fretboards in Brown Sunburst, Honey Blonde Maple or Candy Apple Red, the Deluxe Series Telecaster is as versatile as it is cool-looking. The Deluxe Nashville Power Tele ups the ante by adding acoustic tones to the mix via the Fender/Fishman Power Bridge, with six piezo pickups and special electronics, so you can mix your shimmering Strat, twanging Tele and sparkling acoustic signals however you want, in stereo or mono modes. The Blackout Telecaster is loaded with three vintage-style Tele pickups and five-way switching in a stealthy black package, while the Acoustasonic Tele combines a Fishman piezo pickup and Aura preamp with a Twisted Tele neck pickup and chambered body to deliver an amazing variety of tones, also in mono or stereo. Too cool!
Stratocaster players can choose from the Deluxe Players Strat, which combines some gorgeous finishes and gold-plated hardware with three vintage-style Noiseless Strat pickups, and a special push/push mini-switch for seven pickup combinations! The Roadhouse Stratocaster sports three searing Texas Special single-coil pickups, while the Lonestar Stratocaster combines two Texas Special single-coils with a Pearly Gates humbucker at the bridge for plenty of Texas-size tone. The Deluxe Power Strat also features a humbucker bridge pickup, as well as a Fishman Power Bridge for acoustic tones, and that classic Fender whammy system, for a Strat that will power you through any musical adventure.
Bass thumpers will want to check out the Deluxe Active P Bass Special, a monstrous hybrid with Jazz Bass neck, P-Bass and J-Bass pickups, and active electronics; or the Deluxe Active Jazz Bass and Deluxe Active Jazz Bass V (Five String), souped-up versions of the classic J-Bass design with two dual-coil ceramic Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups and active electronics, including three-band EQ. The Aerodyne Jazz Bass is an all-black, heavier-than-air vehicle for your musical travels, with a P-Bass pickup in the middle and J-Bass in the bridge, black Strat-style output jack, and smoked chrome bridge and tuners for a strikingly cool black beauty of a bass. The Deluxe Jaguar Bass is a retro-modern classic, with dual tone circuits (passive and active), and Jag-style controls like active/passive slide switches and active circuit tone control wheels. Whatever you're looking for in an axe, the Fender Deluxe Series delivers with a set of great-sounding guitars, basses, and amps with high-end options and appointments, at incredibly affordable prices. Get your Deluxe today.

I've heard a lot of complaining from SEOs who have sites that have plummeted over the past few months. Some shaking their fists and blaming Google, some a little more realistic. All complaining nonetheless. And the one thing they had in common as SEOs, is they relied on some type of SEO crutch. Within minutes each one told me exactly why they have disappeared, or they lost spots for their clients. Always obvious.
And that's the problem. You're too obvious.
I didn't lose any spots anywhere, despite being known as pretty aggressive. And it's not because I had some super serious spygames moves. It's because I didn't get too hyperfocused on specific things. I just went out and got links, and got social mentions. I tried when it made sense to use anchor text. I didn't bother scraping and harvesting links to my important sites (don't get me wrong, for my crappy sites, I will try anything to see what happens). I didn't buy links from link networks. I didn't obsess over the PR or backlink portfolio of each potential link. I just got them. A lot of nofollows. Lots of branded links. Lots of domain links. Whatever. I figured if I was able to look at a link portfolio and within seconds spot anchor text jamming, the multi-hundredaire engineers at Google could probably do the same.
So to avoid getting wiped out in the next Google update, I suggest you stop being a friggin idiot and trying to outsmart Google. Know where the line is, but more importantly, know where the line COULD be. And work within those guidelines but do so in an very aggressive manner, and eventually, you'll have update proof rankings. And you'll see sites rise instead of fall when the next panda or penguin comes and wipes out all your less intelligent competition.

The Twins have always found a way to get creative with their advertising campaigns. A couple of seasons ago the Twins ran the above advertisement that featured current Twins player Joe Nathan and former Twins player Johan Santana. In the video Nathan is getting sick from the way that Santana is driving. Santana is driving the way that he pitched in games for the Twins. He would constantly change speeds to keep the batters on their toes. Nathan was more in favor of always going fast with the speed of his car and the speed of his pitches.
Nathan is at an interesting point in his career where he could find himself taking the advice of Santana, the Twins former ace pitcher. Since Nathan returned from Tommy John surgery there has been a noticeable drop in the velocity of his fastball. Pre-surgery he could hit in the high to mid 90's and now he finds himself at the lower end of the 90 mph range. Below you will find a chart of all of the pitches that Nathan has thrown in his two outings this year.
|Nathan vs. Toronto 4-3-11
Save vs. the Blue Jays (4-3-11)
Four-Seam (5): 91, 91, 92, 91, 91
Two-Seam (1): 91
Curveball (19): 81, 87, 88, 87, 86, 87, 87, 88, 82, 88, 87, 82, 82, 86, 86, 82, 83, 87, 81
Slider (5): 90, 90, 90, 91, 90
|Nathan vs. New York 4-5-11
Save vs. the Yankees (4-5-11)
Four-Seam (7): 91, 91, 90, 91, 91, 91, 90
Two-Seam (3): 89, 91, 91
Curveball (1): 81
Slider (4): 85, 87, 85, 86
Changeup (2): 91, 89
Against Toronto Nathan stayed away from his fastball and relied heavily on his curveball. On his pitch-chart you can see how he continued to change speeds during his entire first outing. The difference between in MPH between his fastball and curveball was 3-10 MPH. Last night Nathan made quick work of the Yankees in the bottom of the ninth. After throwing 19 curveballs in his first appearance, he only threw one to a Yankee hitter. Nathan was able to use all of his pitches to clinch the win for the Twins.
Take a look at the pitch-charts from Nathan's last two saves of the 2009 season before he went through the Tommy John procedure.
|Nathan vs. Kansas City 10-2-09
|Nathan vs. Kansas City 10-3-09
The difference between Nathan's fastball and off-speed pitch was as much as 14 MPH before the surgery. There is also a much higher frequency of fastballs that were being used against the hitters.
To succeed in his post-surgery career, Nathan is going to have to evolve into a pitcher that can use his breaking pitches at any time in the count. Before the surgery, he was able to overpower batters with the strength of his fastball. The difference in speed between his fastball and other pitches has dropped significantly and it will be interesting to see if that trend continues or if Nathan is able to find more velocity in his right arm.
No matter how pretty or ugly the outing were the only numbers Twins fans care about right now is two for two. Nathan is two for two in save situations this year. A perfect start but still a long way to go as he evolves into a new pitcher...

The Christmas season is upon us.
The Christmas lights are up in Chiefland.
A radio station is playing Christmas music.
A local store is having a "Christmas Sale 40% to 50% off"
I don't care if if it's a discounted holiday or merchandise.
I'm a sucker for stuff at a nice discount.
My wish list is the same as last year's. I want that "Five-Pound Box of Money" singer Pearl Bailey rhapsodizes. She tells Santa it would be useful and is loaded with lots of sentiment.

wilderness in pr gets really big
was that comment about Rincon, Calif a serious one?
where do you guys stand about Hawaii? which personally i think would be in the top 3
Billabongmoney- You cant be serious. and if you are please get on a flight somewhere, asap. The beachbreaks on the east coast are very good, but are all or nothing in regards to consistency. I have gotten some of the best barrels and rides of my life in the Northeast/Mid-atlantic. But you cant really deny- Puerto Escondido, Hossegor, Blacks, OB san fran, etc
puerto escondido for sure
On that note, what exactly constitutes a 'beach break'. If it breaks along a groin is it still considered a beach break? What about a jetty at the mouth of an inlet? What about a sandy point- is it a beach break or a point break? Or are we just going to say a beach break is something that breaks on a sandy or pebble bottom? Does that mean that waves that break on a rocky cost line are out? And how about Wiamia shore break? It breaks on a beach.
Also are we talking about the best beach break under ideal conditions or your best bet to catch a decent wave?
Ok, end rant. I would judge the best beach break on size, form, and consistency. For a wave that captures all three my vote has to go to Hossegor.

"S3 Supergirl Jam" Rides To New Heights
Three-Day Event To Be Held In Conjunction With The U.S. Open Of Surfing With Top Female Athletes To Compete In 2nd Annual Surf, Skate And Snow Competition
Los Angeles, Calif. (May 29, 2008) - Southern California is set to host the premiere all-female action sports competition when the 2nd Annual S3 Supergirl Jam hits Huntington Beach on July 25 - 27 in conjunction with the 2008 Honda U.S. Open of Surfing. More than 100 of the world's top female professionals in surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding will compete in the S3 Supergirl Jam, an event that combines all three sports into one venue over three days.
The 2nd Annual S3 Supergirl Jam is the only large-scale, all-girls action sports competition and lifestyle/music festival. The S3 Supergirl Jam is designed to promote and celebrate female strength, independence and empowerment by creating a platform for today's athletes to compete in multiple action sports disciplines. The event features top female athletes in surf, skate and snow, as well as female bands and a variety of other activities. This year's S3 Supergirl Jam will see elevated levels of competition, increased prize purse, and broadened appeal for spectators.
New to the S3 Supergirl Jam lineup this year is the Supergirl Junior Pro surfing competition. Officially sanctioned by the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP), the Supergirl Junior Pro will be held on Saturday, July 26, and will crown the event's best 19 year-old or younger female surfer in North America. The Women's Junior Pro has launched many young women to the heights of the surfing world, and the Supergirl Junior Pro will continue that tradition.
"DC Comics' Supergirl S-shield is the universally recognized symbol of strength and leadership and creates a powerful symbol for today's action sports girl, the 'actionista,'" said Karen McTier, Executive Vice President of Domestic Licensing and Worldwide Marketing, Warner Bros. Consumer Products. "The young women involved in action sports are the embodiment of what Supergirl stands for - power, creativity, intelligence, independence. We are thrilled to offer these inspiring athletes a much larger and more exciting competitive experience this year."
With nearly $60,000 in total prize money on the line, the competition is expected to be intense, the excitement electrifying, and the event an unparalleled experience for action sports fans and young female athletes worldwide.
2008 marks the second year of the S3 Supergirl Jam and it is again hosted by a committee of four renowned 'actionistas' including Olympic medalist and top professionally ranked snowboarder, Gretchen Bleiler (Toledo, Ohio); inline skating's Fabiola da Silva (São Paulo, Brazil); skateboarding's Lyn-Z Adams (Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Calif.); and surfing's Kassia Meador (Oceanside, Calif.).
When asked about her involvement, Bleiler stated, "The Supergirl event is helping raise the profile of women's action sports and provides young girls the opportunity to see some of the top athletes in the industry."
The event is located on the beach, just south of the Huntington Beach Pier, in Huntington Beach, Calif. (Yes, there will be 15 tons of snow on the beach in July.). Adding to the excitement of the three separate surf, skate and snow contests, the event will also feature vert and bowl skateboarding competitions along with inline skating rail jam best trick contests. More than 100,000 spectators are expected to attend the three-day event, which is free to the public each day.
"ASA Entertainment creates action sports events all around the world, and we are pleased to present the S3 Supergirl Jam for the second year in row and make it a bigger, better, and more entertaining competition," said ASA Entertainment CEO Rick Bratman, producer of the S3 Supergirl Jam. "We are thrilled to be hosting the 2008 event in conjunction with the U.S. Open of Surfing, as it creates an opportunity for more people to see these amazing female athletes competing at the highest skill levels, and witness the significant progression of women in action sports."
"I think it's fantastic that the Supergirl Junior Pro will be part of this year's U.S. Open," adds Brodie Carr, CEO, ASP. "Over the past few years, we've seen the staggering results of athletes who excel within the ASP Pro Junior Series, and with one of the biggest events in the U.S. hosting this summer's event, it should be a great development for female surfing within ASP North America."
The three-day event schedule includes:
Friday, July 25 will feature a skateboarding bowl jam contest, as well as free skateboarding clinics for girls of all ages.
Saturday, July 26 the line-up showcases the Supergirl Junior Pro surfing contest; skateboarding bowl and vert ramp best trick contests; inline skating rail jam best trick contest; and the skateboarding street prelims.
Sunday, July 27 highlights will include the snowboard rail jam contest; skateboarding street competition finals; and vert ramp skateboarding demos.
Keeping with the spirit of Supergirl empowerment, the S3 Supergirl Jam will also offer an interactive village of female-inspired activities, autograph sessions, exhibitions, clinics and a musical line-up of female bands. Live concerts will cap each day's activities.
The S3 Supergirl Jam is produced by ASA Entertainment, the leader in action sports event and television production, whose properties include the LG Action Sports World Championships. Its events are broadcast nationally on a host of networks - CBS, Spike, VERSUS and Fuel TV. ASA's 2008 S3 Supergirl Jam including the Supergirl Junior Pro will air as part of a 60-minute program on both network and cable television, with live streaming taking place on Go211.com.

Sadly she left her infamous twerking skills out of this one.
