Thread: Billick to HBO
Re: Billick to HBO
That would be interesting . . . . Collingsworth and Billick. Collingsworth has never, not once that I can ever remember said anything good about the Ravens.
I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm going to miss Billick and his "coach speak". I always got a giggle out of it. What really amused me was watching the meltdowns because people couldn't understand what he was saying or thought he was speaking down to them when that was just the way he talked. I've never seen people get so upset because a coach never threw anyone under the bus. I kinda admired him for thatScrew 'em all

Re: Billick to HBO
I don't understand why they gloss over so many games...I will sit there and watch the highlights of the most boring game with the 2 worst teams in the league before I will watch those bozo's blabber on about crap nobody cares about. I remember during Jamal's 2000 yard season, we went 10-6 and they may have shown 6 of our games that year
I fell in love with the show in the late 80's and 90's because of the highlights...Nick and Len were there just to move the show along and they did a nice job of that. These guys...including Costas, think this show is all about them.
Bring back those highlights...by far the best produced week in and week out.

Re: Billick to HBO
Re Cris Collingsworth. Gotta disagree with you there. I like him. He makes me laugh, and I find he has good insights. LadyRaven said that she has never heard him say anything good about the Ravens. I have. Near the end of last season, when everyone else picked against the Ravens, he said that he felt this team had a good chance to go all the way. Well the Ravens let him (and us, of course) down. In the coming season, the Ravens will have to go a long way to get him to stick his neck out again, probably.
Drkraven, I'm with you about missing Billick. I just liked to hear him talk, and enjoyed his use of the language etc. If he's going to be on TV, I'm going to be watching him.

Dear Carolyn • I'm pregnant with our first child. My husband is being very supportive in many ways, but I've also asked him to go to my doctor's appointments. I want him there for support in case something goes wrong, and I also think he should experience everything I have to go through during this pregnancy. Tests, exams, etc.
I've told a friend I expect him to go, and she thought I was being unreasonable. She said I'm going to be a mom and that's just what I have to do.
Is it wrong of me to want my husband to experience the whole pregnancy? I think more people should do the same. He says he doesn't have a problem with it, but he could just be trying to keep me happy.
Dear K. • How will you get him to experience labor beat him with a stick?
There's a lot here, actually, that you can take with you into motherhood:
(1) Different people go about parenthood in different ways, usually with the best of intentions. Whether you're judging them or fretting that they all know something you don't, it's best not to get too caught up in the ways of other parents. When you need mentors, pick a few you trust.
(2) Inclusion is good. Teamwork is good. Not being possessive of all your child's milestones is good. So is being transparent about when and how you would like support. "Expect," though? "Everything I have to go through"? That's trouble.
(3) Humoring a spouse occasionally is an act of love, and sure beats picking at every little thing. But if you sense your husband humors you often, then you need to make a good faith effort to be less demanding with professional help if it comes to that.
(4) Sharing the little moments of pregnancy, baby, family life in general, can bring you and your husband closer in big ways. Those routine appointments can be a magical start to that which is why it's crucial to ask, not insist.

text: With Romo's new contract, the Cowboys have about 5M available cap space now and can free up more after June 1st (Cut of Spears and possibly Free and Livings). If they cut Free after June 1st they get 7M more under the cap. They get about 1.6M after June 1st due to Spears being a "designated" June 1st cut. The cost of draft picks is offset by the fact that they replace players already counting against the cap. The max required cap space for the draft picks will be 3M. That leaves 5M + 7M + 1.6M - 3M = 10.6M available after signing the draft picks. Summary: Should the Cowboys sign Spencer to a contract if they don't need the cap space that it would free up in 2013? They could keep Spencer on the Franchise tag this year. There is no reason that they couldn't sign him to a contract next year, if desired.

McCoy bans use of E-Cigs in all Albany County owned buildings
Albany County Executive Dan McCoy is pulling the plug on electronic cigarettes.
The executive order bans the smoking of e-cigs inside and within 20 feet of all county-owned buildings.
The makers of e-cigs say they don't contain any of the health hazards of traditional tobacco cigarettes but
McCoy and supporters of the ban say the F-D-A hasn't studied e-cigs.

Thanksgiving begins the holiday season. But it certainly isn't the only time of year when we show gratitude and pass around good cheer. Yet for some dedicated souls who work at difficult but necessary jobs, thanks can be a rare commodity. Still, they persist and enjoy their roles, even as others ignore, pity or revile them. Here are the stories of three such Utahns who have at least one trait in common: thankless jobs.
Parking officer •When folks quiz Jennifer Farrell on what she does for a living, the 25-year-old Weber State grad says she's got the most-hated job in Salt Lake City.
And they guess it every time: She's a parking enforcement officer called a "meter maid" in the old days, even by The Beatles.
"Occasionally, there are people who aren't happy about getting a ticket," explains the easygoing Farrell. "I got called the Antichrist by a guy who works at a bar on Main Street."
If it's not dumping snow, Farrell patrols on a bicycle with a hand-held computer that tells her which meters have expired.
"You never know what you're going to get when you meet someone who just got a ticket," she says. "You'd be surprised who is really sweet and who is really mean."
Duty bound and professional, no matter how withering the insults get, she doesn't react. On a good day, she can let it all go "like water off a duck's back," she says.
"But I don't like being called the B-word and I do get called that here and there," she laments. "They say it as they drive away because they don't want to swear at a redheaded girl with pink cheeks."
To help keep her life in balance, she practices "fire spinning," like the Polynesian fire dancers who spin flaming batons. She's also into drumming with an udu, a ceramic Nigerian instrument.
Pedaling around downtown for the past 10 months, Farrell has gotten to recognize "regulars" business owners, employees, vendors and transients. They exchange salutations; it's one of the perks of being on a bicycle. Of course, those friendly faces aren't getting citations.
Even motorists who aren't being slapped with a parking ticket like to pass out advice.
"I hear this a lot: give 'em a break," she says. "We give people breaks all the time."
If a motorist whose meter has expired approaches Farrell before she's printed the ticket, "I'll let them go," she says.
And then maybe, just maybe, that person will say something nice.
Doorman •Jory Gallegos knows what it's like to be lambasted with language seasoned by libation.
As a doorman what some call a bouncer at the Green Pig Pub downtown, the 37-year-old Carbon County native has seen up close what it means when someone says, "He can't hold his liquor."
With an athletic build, the former Marine carries himself with confidence. And that likely helps when dealing with folks who have had a little too much fun and decide to take on the world or maybe just the barmaid.
"You've just got to be nice. That's the way it is," he explains of his technique for dealing with agitated inebriates. "Nobody wants to have muscles flexed on them. Most of the time it works out. But it is a bar, and things do happen."
Gallegos is an electrical-systems designer by trade, but he likes to work nights at the Green Pig because it helps him balance out his week working in a cubicle.
"If I didn't like this, I wouldn't be doing it," he says. "You get to meet people from all over the world. A lot of different characters come in here. You can learn a lot from them."
As a young Marine, Gallegos "partied with the best of them." But these days, he doesn't drink. That provides an interesting view of those who do, sometimes to embarrassing excess.
"Some girl called me every name in the book," he recalls of a margarita-fueled misunderstanding on a hot summer night. "It wasn't pretty, but you've got to deal with it."
The best way to handle such an encounter is to take a deep breath, Gallegos explains.
"You just say, 'Hey, how are you doing?' And you offer them some water," he says. "We have them sit down and we call a cab. You want everyone else to have a good time."
As thankless as the job might appear, there are times when customers show appreciation for his abilities after he's taken a drunken tongue-lashing. "I've had customers come up to me and say, 'Hey, man, you didn't deserve that.' "
For the most part, Gallegos says, the clientele at the Green Pig is a good crowd. "It's fun when it's smooth. But it's bad when it's bad."
Funeral director •Spencer Larkin is no stranger to grief. He's the fifth generation of the family that has owned and operated Salt Lake City's Larkin Mortuary.
"I never planned on going into the family business," he says. "Some people rate morticians with used-car salesmen."
But, working his way through college at the family business, he found the rewards that come by helping people struggle through the death of a loved one. "To just be able to make their lives a little better, that's why we're here."
The 37-year-old University of Utah grad explains that funeral directors help people make dozens of decisions at a time when the world is a blur of emotion. While the mortuary can appear calm and solemn, behind the scenes it can be chaotic particularly if there are a number of funerals on a given day.
"Whether it's a father who has died of cancer or a 6-year-old who has died in a fire, or a homicide of a family member, to be there and keep your composure is difficult."
Because the job can be burdensome, "it's important to recharge," he says. "You have to take care of yourself."
Larkin finds solace in mixed martial arts and what he calls "no holds barred" fighting. It allows him to escape from the reality of death and grief surrounding his day job.
"Children always affect me the most," he says, recalling the little girl who perished in the fire. "It was devastating to the whole family. The chance to serve that family was so difficult."
A mortician's job isn't completely thankless. On the one-year anniversary of the girl's death, her family held a celebration to honor her short life and invited Larkin and his wife. It was a "special day," he recalls.
"You are with somebody at such a vulnerable time," he says. "The bonds are made immediately."
Larkin sees one of his most important tasks as helping grieving people begin to mourn.
"If we don't go through the mourning process," he says, "it continues to affect us."
And people often are reluctant to start down that path.
"They have grief, but they don't want to mourn," he says. "If we can help them start that journey, they can heal. We can become better [as a culture] by letting people know it's OK to cry."

Gatlinburg, Tennessee, is a beautiful mountain town that borders the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. There are many rental options in the area but the most popular is the mountain cabin, most of which have hot tubs on the deck and scenic mountain views. The area is home to a wide variety of outdoor activities along with many shops and dining options.
When visiting the town of Gatlinburg, you can't miss the unique shops and dining places. There are many shops in The Village, a Bavarian-style shopping area, that are very unique. If you like trying a variety of foods, there are options like The Donut Friar and the Pepper Palace, which specializes in all types of hot sauces. To see the work of local artisans you can visit Alewine pottery and Lamplight Gallery. The Mountain Mall is another shopping area in town where a variety of stores and a multi-storied indoor fountain make for a unique atmosphere. If you wish to stay in downtown, there are many accommodations available that offer a great city view.The Pancake Pantry
This breakfast and lunch restaurant is a great place to try a local favorite, pancakes. The menu offers things like pigs in a blanket, blueberry pancakes, and even orange-walnut. They also have an extensive lunch menu with burgers and sandwiches. The kids will love the M&M pancakes or the silver dollar pancakes. The Pancake Pantry is the original pancake house in an area with many different breakfast places.Great Smoky Mountains National Park
The national park is the most visited in the nation. It is one of the last parks that actually doesn't charge an entrance fee. Inside the park there are many hiking, biking and picnicking opportunities. You can visit Cades Cove to drive an 11-mile one way loop and view wildlife, especially deer and turkey. The occasional bear with cubs can also be sighted in the valley. Clingmans Dome offers a spectacular view of the mountains, with the tower being the highest point in Tennessee. A short hike to the lookout tower offers a view of up to 100 miles on a clear day.
There are several ways to get the best view in town. The Aerial Tramway, which goes to Ober Gatlinburg, is a cable car that takes you on a 2.1 mile ride from downtown up to the amusement area on the top of the mountain and is one of the largest in America. You can also check out the Sky Lift in the middle of town. The Sky Lift offers a seat for two up the mountain with amazing views coming back down and is a must see at night.
The weather in the area can vary greatly depending on the time of year. Each season offers a unique vacation experience. Summer is one of the most popular times to visit and temperature can be quite hot with random rain showers throughout the day. October is a very popular month as well due to the mountain views of the changing leaves. When visiting in Winter, you can see snow and participate in some outdoor activities like skiing and sledding. Spring offers a chance to see wildlife emerging from hibernation along with the new growth of all the local plants.
Most people travel to the Gatlinburg area by personal or rental car. There is also an airport in the nearby city of Knoxville where a car can be rented. There are opportunities for tours in the area as well, with many tour buses visiting throughout the year.

Mr. Everything
By Chris Horn, University Magazine Group, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-3687
Picture this: a guy goes in for a cardiac stress test — the kind where you run like a hamster on a treadmill while they check your heart rate.
After he runs for a while, the attendant asks him to go as fast and as long as he can, inclining the treadmill steeply. He keeps on running until, finally, he passes out.
It really happened, and the guy who put the pedal to the metal until he ran out of gas was Jerry Odom, who was a USC chemistry professor at the time and is now executive director of USC Foundations.
"That story defines Jerry Odom," said Tom Moore, chancellor of USC Upstate and one of Odom's former doctoral students. "He's going to give it everything he has. He works harder than anyone I've ever known and expects the same from others."
In a sense, Odom has been running since he arrived on campus in 1969, serving first as a chemistry professor, then as chair of the chemistry department, dean of the College of Science and Mathematics (now Arts and Sciences), provost and executive vice president for academic affairs and, finally, as executive director of foundations. And though he's retiring from university service in December after 43 years, he's still got plenty in the tank with plans to do consulting around the country.
"I had offers from other places during my career at USC but never really considered them," he said. "And I never had ambitions to climb the ladder in higher education; I was content being a professor, but the opportunities to help strategically plan the university's future were appealing."
Talk to people who have rubbed elbows with Odom over the years and an interesting portrait emerges. He was:
• a dean who "saw things through to the end. An insider who knew where the problems were and had the integrity to fix them." — Dan Reger, a 40-year veteran professor in the department of chemistry and biochemistry
• a provost who was "even-keeled, calm and thoughtful and matter of fact." — Joan Hinde Stewart, former dean of USC's College of Liberal Arts, now president of Hamilton College in New York
• "utterly unpretentious and not impressed with himself — even though he could have been because he won just about every teaching and research award there was to win." — Bill Hogue, vice president for information technology and chief information officer at USC.
In the 1990s, Odom served on the Future Committee and years later led the Strategic Directions and Initiatives Committee, which brought about substantive and positive change. But Odom's success wasn't only about his administrative abilities. Fellow chemistry professor Dan Reger recalled Odom's mentoring skills with professors and students.
"There were always students around Jerry's office, wanting to talk to him," Reger said. "He had a knack for getting students who were struggling to come by his office for help."
Moore, his former student, put it this way: "He held people accountable in appropriate ways. He would tell you exactly what he thought about something, and you never had to wonder about the veracity of anything he said. His example has been a tremendous influence on me. I grew up a lot working for Jerry Odom. That's served me well as a parent, as a teacher and as a person."

Families of September 11 is now operating as the For Action Initiative. The web pages on this site are available for informational purposes only. Please visit us at www.foractioninitiative.org.
Take us out to a ball game! Family members Anna, Alex
and Aidan pose for a quick photo at the September 10th
Mets vs. Marlins Game. Look under our "Events" Section
below for more fun family activities!
"Resiliency" is a word that can mean different things to different people. For 9/11 families, it means learning to tap into the resources we as individuals may possess as well as resources made available to help us in the days, weeks, months and years to come. As we move into our third year of changed lives, Families of September 11 remains committed to making available to all our members those resources upon which they can draw for support or information.
Whether providing updates on investigations and litigation, or contact information on mental health help, we are intent on keeping you informed. We are also pursuing an effort that will result in family members being able to connect with one another through the Internet. As we move closer to that goal, we urge you to send us any articles, pictures or information you would like us to share. Our strength comes from your continued strength and support. Thank you for your example.
Issues Update
URGENT: The deadline for filing the Victim's Compensation Fund is December 22, 2003. Please visit the following website: http://www.usdoj.gov/victimcompensation and consult with your attorney so that you can make an informed decision about whether to enter the fund. Also look under the "Legislative Issues" section for information on bills supporting the extension of the deadline. However, do not assume that this deadline will be extended.
Legislative Issues
Families of September 11 supports the extension of the deadline for filing claims under the VCF. However, as these bills were introduced late in the congressional calendar, it is unlikely that they will successfully pass and be signed into law before Congress adjourns for the year, nor is there any guarantee this proposed legislation will be passed in the future by Congress and applied retroactively. Thus, Families of of September 11 recommends that family members who have not yet made a decision as to whether to participate in the Victims Compensation Fund not rely on these bills and put off making a well informed decision about filing a claim under the VCF. We urge you to consult legal counsel As soon as possible (so that you will have the time necessary to make decisions before December 22nd of this year).
As Representative Fossella stated when he introduced his bill, "Given the complexities of the Fund and recent court decisions, it only seems fair that the deadline be extended. However, I do not want to give the families a false sense of hope nor do I want to see anyone delay making a decision and end up missing out on their right to join with Fund. This is going to be an uphill battle, and families need to proceed with their decision-making according to the December 22, 2003 deadline."
Family members who support passage of these bills are urged to contact their congressmen and senators. Contact information can be found at http://www.senate.gov and http://www.house.gov.
All family members are also encouraged to visit the National Center for Victims of Crime website to voice your opinion of these bills. Please submit your view on their website, http://www.ncvc.org and click on their September 11 Victim Compensation Fund survey (it is only 3 questions and takes less than one minute.) We applaud their work towards ensuring ample application time for September 11 families, as well as any potential victims of future crimes.

Remember when American Idol tinkered with its three judge panel and decided to add a fourth? Well, Kara DioGuardi remembers and thanks the producers for her million bucks. The idea was a disaster and it was that season which really marked the start of decline for the show and has never recovered. It was the season the producers decided that judges were more important than talent, forgetting of course the original lineup of the show had two relative unknowns and a has been. All you do when you spend $45M on judges like Idol is have $45M less to give yourself because the same number of people are going to watch regardless of who is judging. They are too scared to give it a chance though.
Anyway, Dancing With The Stars has added a fourth judge and it is Julianne Hough. With none of the projects she left the show for actually doing any good and with the prospects of getting any gig that requires her to work less and that pays more than DWTS doubtful, Julianne will be a judge and Maksim is probably thrilled he left the show. Julianne will not recuse herself when it comes to Derek's scores, but will spontaneously run over and dance with him after every routine and of course pick out random women in the audience for him to have sex with after the show.

Guest Post from The Blissful Chef
Today's guest post comes from one of our attendees, chef and author Christy Morgan. Share her story and anticipation below…
I couldn't be more psyched to go to the first ever vegan blogger conference. I'm relatively new to the blogging world. I went vegan about 9 years ago and began teaching myself to cook because at the time there was only one vegan restaurant in Los Angeles. This sparked my desire to go to culinary school. A couple of years later I started a vegan meal delivery service cooking for people like Alicia Silverstone, then began teaching cooking classes. Teaching has become my passion because I like empowering others to take charge of their health and well-being. After teaching for a few years I started my blog to share my knowledge and my way of cooking with others. I feel like my blog is a way to hold people's hands through their transition into veganism.

Brevard, N.C. - For the second time in as many weekends, Eric Renegar capped off a Brevard College South Atlantic Conference victory as the redshirt sophomore from Stuart, Va. drove a single through the right side of the infield, scoring John Slade from second for the 2-1 Brevard walk-off victory over Anderson.
Casey Smith (2-3) backed a strong start by Zach Joyce, pitching the final three innings and striking out seven in picking up the win for Brevard as the Tornados improve to 24-20, 14-11 in the conference on the season. Riley McDermott (2-4) suffered the loss for Anderson (13-34, 6-19 SAC), despite a stellar pitching performance by J.T. Trujillo.
Anderson opened the scoring in the top of the first as Brett Cash led off the game with a walk. Cash swiped second base, but appeared to be stranded as Joyce retired the next two batters on strikes. Erick Sanderson singled home Cash, driving the ball into left field for the first run of the game.
Brevard answered in the bottom of the second as Randy O'Dell and Christian Christopoulos hit back-to-back one-out singles, and Renegar drew a walk loading the bases. Kramer Clark followed with the RBI, driving a grounder into the gap between first and second, getting thrown out a first, but allowing O'Dell to cross the plate to even the score. A walk issued to Champ Stuart reloaded the bases, but Trujillo escaped the jam retiring the final batter on strikes to end the threat and the inning.
Anderson placed runners in scoring position in the fifth, seventh and eighth innings, but Joyce was able to dodge each of the threats to escape with the score intact at 1 apiece.
Smith relieved for the Tornados in the top of the ninth, setting the Trojans down 1-2-3 in the frame, and Brevard threatened to produce the walk-off win in the bottom of the inning. Brevard placed runners on first and third with two outs, but Kyle Francis retired the BC pinch hitter on strikes to send the game into extra innings.
Brevard again threatened in the 10th as Chad Funkhouser reached on a two-out single to centerfield, taking second on the play as the Trojan centerfield bobbled the play. An intentional walk issued to Tarron Robinson brought Cody Queen to the plate, but the BC shortstop flew out to left field to end the inning, sending the teams to the 11th.
Smith again set the Trojans down 1-2-3 and John Slade jumped on the first pitch from McDermott, driving a line drive single into right field. A sacrifice bunt by Christopoulos moved Slade into scoring position before Renegar followed with a bouncer through the right side of the infield. The Trojans right fielder came up gunning, firing towards the plate, but the throw drew the catcher up the third baseline, allowing Slade a lane to get around and slide in ahead of the tag to end the contest.
Brevard and Anderson close out the South Atlantic Conference series tomorrow afternoon at Gil Coan Field. Brevard will recognize the 2012 baseball seniors in a pregame Senior Day ceremony at 11:30 a.m., with first pitch of the doubleheader between the Tornados and the Trojans set to begin at 12 p.m.

Rookie Stephen Hill seems to be having a rough go at his NFL career. The rookie hasn't had a big game since Opening Day against the Buffalo Bills back in September.
Jeremey Kerley in his second year seems to be the go to guy for Mark Sanchez, and is having himself a nice year despite the Jets overall record.
So what can be the problem with Hill? Here are a few theories to explains Hill's struggles:
He played in an offense in college that didn't utilize the receivers much for catching. His main assignments were to block. Hill is a rookie and is having a bad spell. He's a RAW talent.
Hill's technique isn't good. He's not extending his arms. Stephen Hill was targeted just twice during the Jets' 27-13 win over St. Louis. One pass was a dropped and the other was a deep pattern where the former Georgia Tech standout wasn't able to find the ball amid the stadium lights.
It was Hill's fourth game without a catch this season and another with a drop, a problem that seems to be compounding a bit with the talented rookie.
Rex Ryan, though, has not lost confidence.
"With Stephen, I will say this, I was impressed with the way the young man blocked, for us that's a big thing," Ryan said. "Has he lost some confidence, he dropped the ball or whatever, one thing I know for sure is we're going to keep throwing it to him.

A Facebook friend sent me a link to the blog We the People, knowing that I'm an afficianado of crazy. And wow, I think I'm in love. The author is Jim Campbell, who describes himself as "Citizen Journalist, Oath Keeper and Patriot" (inappropriate capitalization in the original). So what makes this site special, I'm sure you're asking yourself. Let him explain:
Perhaps you have never been here before. I write with twisted wit and my warped sense of humor. It's called by El Rushbo, using the absurd to illustrate absurdity.
I promise to provide accurate sourcing, stay away from conspiracy theories, and make any needed changes or complete retractions if need be.
And to show you just how diligently he stays away from conspiracy theories, he advertises this "full length video on the new world order."
And he supports Orly Taitz and her zeal to prove that Obama is a Kenyan Muslim usurper in a post with this grammar-bending headline, "Are the tides and winds of change tuning (sic) on Obama?" Orly Taitz, in his view, is a "bulldog" for going after "Obama Nazi Judges" (again, inappropriate capitalization in the original).
He seems to have a very difficult time with grammar, especially in headlines. Like this one: "The Plot Thickens: Arpaio investigation: Obama might be Kenyan Records that could document status mysteriously missing." And this one: "Obama's Kenyan move Administration loosened abortion laws in African nation." As another sign that he avoids conspiracy theories, he's all about proving that Obama was born in Kenya. And then George Soros apparently went back with his secret time machine and planted two fake birth announcements in Hawaiian newspapers. Or something.
This is going to be a lot of fun.

Fact: I'm way overdue on this post.
Fact: I'm way overdue on lots of other things (see my ever increasing library fine).
Fact: I'm dealing with it by consuming large amounts of beer and holiday cookies.
Fact: I'm not drinking and blogging… much.
There was a reason why I signed up for this retreat again. And now that it's said and done, I can add another reason why I'll probably do it again: Spinning pretty much rules; Judith McKenzie pretty much rules. This retreat was all about color, how we view it, how we use it, which ones we love, which ones we hate, and even learning how to like the ones we hate. I still dislike pink, but that's not for lack of trying.
Stephanie got us designing and charting fair isle. She taught us about hues and values and how to put colors together in a sensible fashion. Tina, the color genius, got us to sort of embrace our most hated color by using it as a base in at least one of our skeins. Turns out pink isn't so bad when you combine it with other colors. And Judith showed us how to make batts on drum carders and how to combine colors when we spin. My first attempt at plying at home before the retreat produced some really ugly shit. But I swear, there's something about spinning and plying in the presence of Judith. All of a sudden your skills transcend into another dimension and you start churning out boucle and other amazing yarns. Also, I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't totally excited that she touched my wheel. Yup. I said it. Well, at least I didn't stutter and act all crazy fan girl like I did last time…maybe.
It's hard to convey in words what it feels like to be around so many like-minded people. The weekend goes by so fast, too, that it's hard to even register half the things that are going on. Maybe it gets easier the more you go, but I can't imagine that it does.
I thought I had taken more pictures, but turns out I didn't. I posted the rest of them on my flickr page. The photo of me dyeing was taken by Tamara (who if you remember, gifted me some luscious silk at the last retreat). She was also a more diligent photographer and you can see more retreat photos from her here.

Attorney General Facing Tough Questions In Congress
(Washington, DC) -- Attorney General Eric Holder is facing tough questions in Congress. Lawmakers want to know much more about the Justice Department's seizure of reporters' phone records. Opening a House oversight hearing, Virginia Republican Bob Goodlatte expressed deep concerns about the actions. The seizure was part of an ongoing investigation into leaks of classified information. Holder noted that he recused himself from the probe last year and stepped around questions about the growing scandal.
Holder recused himself to avoid a conflict of interest because he was interviewed by investigators probing the leaks. The leaks probe is being overseen by a deputy attorney general and two U.S. attorneys. Michigan Democrat John Conyers called himself troubled by the seizure. Meantime, Holder has ordered an investigation into the IRS targeting of conservative groups for audits. Republican lawmakers are furious about the revelations. Goodlatte called it "outrageous." Conyers said any criminal activity at the IRS must be uncovered and dealt with.

Prime Hakeem>>>Prime Shaq
PrimeWade>Prime T-Mac
A great closer has to be able to make free throws, as great as Shaq was, that was a huge issue come cruch time.

Give me Hakeem over Shaq any day.
As great as Hakeem was in his prime, he did not equal to the dominance Shaq displayed when he was at his peak. The man couldn't be stopped by anyone and took over the league for a few seasons during that stretch.
T-Mac and Wade is a closer and more reasonable debate to me.
~ Oscar Taveras ~ The next Phenom
Hakeem is the greatest all around Center of all time. Shaq would be hopeless in an uptempo situation, and was hopeless down the stretch in close games. He also quit playing D after he was about 6 years into this career.
6/27/09: We expect [Rondo] to play by the rules and be a leader as a point guard. We need him to be more of a leader, Ainge said. There were just a couple situations where he was late this year, I dont know if he was sitting in his car, but showed up late and the rest of the team was there. We have team rules and you have to be on time. He was fined for being late, he said he was stuck in traffic, and its just unacceptable.
told you all since 2010 he was a toolbag.....
Eh, seems like everyone's default argument. Hakeem was great but wasn't nearly as dominant as guys like Shaq or Duncan. People always mischaracterize passed retired players. Again give me shaq or Duncan over hakeem. That should be no knock on hakeem though as both Shaq and Duncan are two of the 10 greatest players ever.Originally Posted by bagwell368:24864928

Prime Wade vs. Prime T-Mac.
With the deepest of regrets I am announcing that I will be leaving Pro Sports Daily. No reason in particular but wanted to thank everyone for a great 6 years here. Lots of great discussion and good poll series as well. Also fun re-drafts. Best of luck to you all in the future.
for a career im taking Hakeem for Peak im taking Shaq and its not really even fair.
As for Wade and T mac thats Scary close

Thanks MJ-Bulls for the picture.
Peak Wade vs Peak TMac is close, but prime Wade vs prime TMac is easily Wade. Other than that 1 30 PER season, TMac TOP 5 PER seasons doesn't compare to Wade's TOP 5. Wades 6th best PER season is higher than TMacs 2nd best PER season. Also, Wade has had better playoff success. The answer is Prime Shaq vs Prime Hakeem easily.

Hakeem and Shaq are extremely close. Wade and T-Mac are not as close.
How can anyone say that Hakeem was better than Shaq. Hakeem in his primes was a Beast, but let's remember that his prime was MUCH shorter than Shaq's

A Goodlettsville woman was killed in a multiple-vehicle accident Wednesday afternoon on I-65 North near Long Hollow Pike.
Patricia Dauer, 64, died when her 2004 Ford Expedition crossed into the lane of travel of a tractor-trailer driven by an Indian Mound, TN, man, causing the tractor-trailer to then collide into her vehicle, police said.
The Expedition struck the center guard rail, and Dauer was ejected from the vehicle. Her body was then struck by a Ford Crown Victoria driven by a Michigan man, police said.
After striking the guard rail, the Expedition hit a Volvo SUV driven by a Kentucky woman, which was then hit by the same tractor-trailer.
None of the other drivers was injured.
Investigators believe an improper lane change caused the wreck, and Dauer was not wearing a seat belt at the time.
Police said there was no evidence of alcohol, impairment or improper speed involved.
Northbound traffic was closed for several hours as crews investigated. The Tennessee Department of Transportation reports the interstate fully reopened by 4:15 p.m.

I have been busy, really I have! I just don't have pictures of what I've been working on…yet.
I do, however, have a picture of my very first t-shirt quilt. Ta da!
I made this several years ago, perhaps 12 or so? This picture was taken after a few years of use, though. You can see wrinkles and evidence of stretching. When I made this quilt, I didn't know what I was doing! I didn't make the blocks uniform size. I didn't even make them all rectangles! See those hot pink triangles? Those were set in to make rectangles out of irregular pentagons! I didn't use the right kind of needle to sew on knit fabric. And I didn't back the fabric with fusible interfacing. (Hence, the stretching…and missing stitches…and not very straight lines!)
This poor quilt will need some TLC and a major overhaul someday. But for now it holds memories of moments in time from two lives–mine and my husband's. All the shirts except one are from before we were married. It was so much fun to combine them into one memory. Our kids have grown up calling it "the park quilt." New memories from old ones. Love it.

Third Quarter 2012 Highlights
For the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011:
» Net revenues increased 24.2% to $46.6 million.
» Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.09 compared to a loss of $0.01 in the prior year.
» Consolidated EBITDA increased 314.1% to $4.1 million, or 8.9% of net revenues. A table reconciling EBITDA to net income is presented at the end of the consolidated financial statements included in this release.
» Borrowings decreased $8.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2011.
» Announced a new distribution agreement with Snyder's-Lance, which is expected to close in November.
Quarter Overview
Consolidated net revenues for the third quarter were $46.6 million, an increase of 24.2% compared to $37.5 million during the prior-year period. This increase was largely driven by a 41.5% increase in the healthy/natural portfolio. Gross profit increased 47.8% to $9.5 million, compared to $6.4 million in the prior-year period. Gross profit margin improved 320 basis points to 20.3% from 17.1% last year, primarily as a result of lower cost berries in the Frozen segment. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 14.0% of net revenues, or 360 basis points, compared to 17.6% in the prior year. This decline is primarily attributable to decreased marketing and sampling expenses related to the prior-year promotions for the Jamba brand. Net income increased to $1.7 million compared to a net loss of $0.2 million in the prior year.
The Snack segment net revenues were up 1.4% with $23.8 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $23.5 million during the same period a year ago. T.G.I. Friday's and premium private label net revenues increased 10.7% and 20.9%, respectively, offset by a 13.2% decrease in sales of Boulder Canyon Natural Foods.
The Frozen segment net revenues, which includes Jamba® All Natural Smoothies, totaled $22.8 million for the quarter, were up 62.3% over the prior-year period. Continuing the momentum from the first half of 2012, net revenues for the Frozen segment excluding Jamba® increased 72.7% for the quarter due to continued growth in branded and private label sales to new and existing customers. Jamba® net revenues for the quarter totaled $4.3 million, an increase of 28.6% compared $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2011.
Year-to-Date Overview
Consolidated net revenues for the nine months ended September 29, 2012 were $141.6 million, an increase of 20.3% compared to $117.8 million during the prior-year period. This increase was largely driven by a 33.2% increase in the healthy/natural portfolio, as well as a 4.7% increase in the indulgent/specialty portfolio revenues. Gross profit increased 24.9% to $28.0 million, compared to $22.4 million in the prior-year period. Net income increased 145.0% to $5.1 million, compared to net income of $2.1 million in the prior year. Fully diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2012 were $0.26, versus $0.11 during the same period in 2011, an increase of 136.4%. Consolidated EBITDA increased 68.6% to $12.1 million, or 8.5% of net revenues.
Management Commentary & Future Outlook
"Continuing the success realized during the first half of 2012, we are pleased to report our ninth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth in year-over-year net revenues and record third quarter earnings per share," said Terry McDaniel, chief executive officer of Inventure Foods Inc.
"The increase in our healthy/natural portfolio, which represents 60% of total revenues, was led by strong increases in our Frozen segment with frozen fruit sales up 72.7% and Jamba "at home" Smoothie sales up 28.6% over prior year, primarily due to increased distribution to new and existing customers and increased velocity of existing business."
"The increase in the healthy/natural portfolio was partially offset by a decline in sales of our Boulder Canyon products primarily due to increased pricing pressure. We remain dedicated to the growth of our Boulder Canyon brand. We are adding sales and marketing resources dedicated to the Boulder brand to regain our momentum and we plan to introduce new categories beyond salty snacks within the next year. We also look forward to leveraging the new distribution partnership with Snyder's-Lance to push Boulder and other Inventure product lines in certain markets."
"Increased sales in our indulgent snack product portfolio were primarily driven by sales of our T.G.I. Friday's products, which were up 10.7% over the same quarter last year and the success of our new Nathan's Famous brand.
McDaniel concluded, "We are pleased with the double-digit growth in both revenues and profits achieved year-to-date. We remain focused on executing our strategic plan and delivering sustainable long-term growth for our shareholders."

Stocks soar as Starbucks expands K-Cup deal
WATERBURY, VT -- Green Mountain Coffee Roasters second-quarter net income rose 42% to $132.4 million, or 87¢ a share, from $93 million, or 58¢, last year. Total revenue rose 14% to $1 billion in the quarter.
Shares climbed 18% to $70 on May 9, the highest price in more than a year, after the Waterbury, VT, roaster and maker of the Keurig single-cup brewing platform raised its profit forecast on higher K-Cup sales. Green Mountain also announced an expanded partnership with Starbucks Corp., an hour before reporting its earnings.
Sales of Keurig K-Cups during the second quarter increased 21% over the comparable prior-year period. Green Mountain president and chief executive Brian Kelley, who replaced Larry Blanford in December, credited growth in the sales of single-serving packs and to more Keurig brewers in more households.
"By the end of this fiscal year we will have 16 to 17 million brewers active in U.S. homes, implying an installed base growth rate of 25% to 30% over last year," Kelley said. "We expect similar growth next year.
Keurig brewers and accessory sales fell 9.6% to $126.8 million as the company continues to face increased competition from rival single-cup systems like Starbucks' Verismo.
Through their extended five-year agreement, Starbucks ultimately will triple the number of its products offered in both K-Cup and Vue single-serving packs. New brands Starbucks will offer include Seattle's Best Coffee, Torrefazione Italia coffee, Teavana Teas and Starbucks Cocoa.
Starbucks first reached an agreement with Green Mountain to sell Starbucks K-Cups in March 2011. Starbucks has reportedly shipped more than 850 million of the single-cup packs since then.

I have a 1501 also and report no problems.
I see the ACPI issue has also been resolved so it doesn't need a the "acpi=off" boot parameter
Great work guys.
Agares, download the ATI driver. My 1501 has the ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 Chip.
^^ installing that driver should sort out your graphics issues.
EDIT: I had this driver saved from BT3 and installed it on bt4f which borked X.
I'd backup your configs before installing any ATI drivers.
On that note, Im not sure which ati driver bt4f comes with but I've had no problems out of the box and have compiz working etc.

Use a deep, heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid for this dish. The alcohol cooks off as the chicken simmers. But if you'd rather not use wine, simply substitute additional stock and omit the balsamic vinegar.
In a shallow dish, stir together the flour and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Dredge the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour.
In a large, heavy saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a platter.
Add the shallot to the pan and saute until softened, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and saute until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the onions and saute until they begin to pick up some brown color, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in the stock and wine and deglaze the pan, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Return the chicken pieces to the pan, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chicken and vegetables are tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Stir vinegar, chopped thyme, teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
To serve, divide the vegetables among warmed shallow individual bowls. Top each portion with 2 pieces of chicken, 1 light meat and 1 dark. Garnish with thyme sprigs. Serve immediately.

Renee Wants to Marry Bradley!
After a whirlwind romance, Renee Zellweger feels like she's finally met her soul mate in Bradley Cooper — and an insider tells BettyConfidential she's ready to tie the knot soon.
-JoAnna Zulli
They've only been dating seven months, but it looks like wedding bells may soon be ringing for Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper. "Renee is so in love with Bradley that her whole face lights up when she talks about him," a source tells Betty Confidential. "The next step is marriage."
Ever since falling for one another on the set of the horror film Case 39 last summer, the co-stars have tried to keep their relationship a secret, but with romantic rendezvous in Barcelona, New York and Vancouver, it's been hard for them to keep things quiet. Renee is rumored to be moving into the $4.7 million three-bedroom mansion that her boyfriend recently purchased in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
And it was clear the couple was serious about each other when she celebrated Christmas with Bradley's parents, Charlie and Gloria, and Renee took her future mother-in-law to the launch of Vera Wang's Los Angeles store on March 2 (was she possibly checking out wedding gowns by the famous designer?).
Read Why Courteney Cox is Worried About Jennifer Aniston
Even though The Hangover star recently denied rumors that he was shopping for an engagement ring, the source insists Bradley, 35, has been visiting jewelers to buy a canary-diamond ring to put on Renee's finger. And the wedding could happen as soon as May, right before he starts filming Dark Fields opposite Robert De Niro in his home town of Philadelphia.

For years now a crescendo has been rising in politics of angry people wanting to stem the tide of this or that. They rail. They rant. They wave placards. They talk about bringing back the Bonnie Blue flag of the West Florida rebellion. There's talk of buying guns, learning to shoot straight, hoarding ammunition, stocking up on food and preparing for a rebellion. No socialism. No liberals. No communists. No health reform. No ACORN. Whoops! Wait! That thing about ACORN.

The Winningest Seniors In Louisville Women's Program History Are Now Pros
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Three of the winningest women's basketball players in Louisville history are now pros.
Seniors Shoni Schimmel, Antonita Slaughter, and Asia Taylor were all drafted in this week's WNBA Draft. Schimmel was selected eighth to Atlanta, where she will play alongside former Louisville star Angel McCoughtry. Slaughter was taken by the L.A. Sparks and Taylor will head to Minnesota. Head coach Jeff Walz says getting three players drafted shows his staff gets players ready for the next level.
None of the three selected by the WNBA were McDonald's All-Americans.

A screen shot of Roger Drake's introduction to the
Central Methodist (Mo.)
University community.
FAYETTE, Mo. -- Lindsey Wilson College
Vice President for Administration & Finance Roger Drake was
named Friday the next president of Central
Methodist (Mo.) University. He will assume the office July
Drake, who has been Lindsey Wilson's chief
financial officer since 2004, will become the 26th president in
Central Methodist's 159-year history.
Drake's appointment was announced and he was introduced by
the Central Methodist Board of Trustees at a campus assembly Friday
afternoon. Drake will replace Marianne Inman, who will retire in June after
18 years as CMU president.
"I am honored to be chosen as the next president of Central
Methodist University," Drake said. "It is my hope that the
institutional momentum created under President Inman's leadership
can continue far into the future. (My wife) Judy and I are excited
about this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of
LWC hopes to find Drake's successor by July 1, according to
LWC President William T. Luckey Jr.
"Although I am sad to see Roger leave Lindsey
Wilson, I am excited for this new professional opportunity in his
life," Luckey said. "The fact that a well-respected sister
institution selected a Lindsey Wilson person for its next leader
speaks volumes about this school's growing reputation in the higher
education community."
Central Methodist is a private college similar to Lindsey
Wilson -- it is located in a rural setting, it has a large
residential student population, and it has vibrant off-campus
programs. Lindsey Wilson has an enrollment of 2,677, 1,100 of which
live on campus; Central Methodist expects to enroll about 5,600
students this fall, 1,200 of which will live on
"We expect the higher education environment to experience
many challenges and changes in the immediate future," said Glenn
Cox, chair of the CMU Board of Trustees and of the Presidential
Search Committee. "Dr. Drake's business experience, coupled with
his academic accomplishments, makes him an excellent choice to lead
Central Methodist University during such a period as we continue to
excel and grow."
Drake came to Lindsey Wilson in 2004 after working for 12
years in the mining industry. During his more than eight years at
LWC, the college enjoyed one of its most successful
* enrollment increased from 1,851 in 2004 to its current
record 2,677;
* LWC enrolled its largest and most talented freshman class
in college history this school year;
* LWC's number of full-time faculty increased by 100 percent,
and the instructional budget increased by more than 200
* since 2005, LWC underwent a $39.6 million capital expansion
that included a science center, nursing and counseling education
center, health-and-wellness center, two residence halls, a tennis
complex, and a 20-acre sports park that includes a
football/track-and-field stadium, baseball park and softball
Drake attended Lees (Ky.) Junior College, received a bachelor
of business administration degree in accounting from Eastern
Kentucky University, and a master of business administration and
doctor of education from Vanderbilt University.
From 1992 to 2004 he was vice president of finance for AAA
Mine Service, Inc. in Hazard, Ky. Drake was vice president
for business affairs at Lees College from 1989 to 1992.

Day after birthday, Arcia breaks out
21-year-old goes 4-for-5, homers, doubles twice in Miracle win
By Jonathan Raymond / Special to MLB.com | May 10, 2012 9:18 PM ET
The Venezuelan-born outfielder has gotten a hit in every game he's played in during May -- except Wednesday, when he went 0-for-4 on the day he turned 21. He broke out with a 4-for-5 day Thursday, though, homering and doubling twice in Class A Advanced Fort Myers' 12-11 win over Dunedin.
Arcia also scored twice and drove in four runs with his big night, raising his average 25 points to .295. Minnesota's No. 3 prospect has always impressed Fort Myers manager Jake Mauer -- who first coached Arcia as an 18-year-old with the Twins' Gulf Coast League affiliate in 2009 -- with his athletic potential.
Lately, though, Mauer said he's seen Arcia match his physical talent with a more advanced approach at the plate.
"When I had him in the GCL, as a young kid, he was more of a pull hitter," said Mauer. "He had what we call a predetermined swing, where he'd try to hit the ball 500 feet. Now he's starting to understand what's going on with what pitchers are trying to do to him. He's taking more pitches, getting in offensive counts.
"The difference between April and May here is that he's not missing the pitch when he's in those offensive counts."
After Thursday, Arcia is hitting .395 over nine games in May. Mauer also noted he's been encouraged by the level of leadership the 2007 international signee has displayed in the Miracle clubhouse.
"He's taken on more of that leadership role, which we were hoping he would do," said Mauer. "He's starting to grasp English, and that's helping him be more of a leader. It's also the little stuff he does, like two nights ago we were getting beat 16-4, and he hits a ground ball to second and runs down the first base line in 4.2 seconds. He's leading by example, which is pretty encouraging for us."
Arcia is finding his groove in 2012 after posting big years the previous two seasons. Between Class A Beloit and Fort Myers last season, he hit a combined .285 with 13 home runs in 79 games. The year before with short-season Elizabethton, he batted .375 with 14 homers in 64 games.
On Thursday, every bit of his offensive output was necessary as the Miracle went toe-to-toe with the Blue Jays in what Mauer described as a "shootout." After scoring three runs in the top half of the first, Fort Myers had fallen behind, 7-3, by the third.
Arcia, the second batter of the inning, hit a two-run shot. Michael Gonzales followed that up four batters later with a three-run homer, and two batters after that, Daniel Santana capped the seven-run inning with a solo shot.
The Miracle added two more runs, which would prove to be decisive, in the sixth and reliever Bruce Pugh fired off two scoreless innings to finish the game for the save.
"It was big. They had the tying run on second with one out, and we were able to hold onto the lead and win a game," said Mauer. "Whenever you get into a game like that, you just hope you're on the positive side and we're fortunate enough to be on it."

Cleveland congresswoman to speak at Washington event
(Cleveland) - Rep. Marcia Fudge will speak at the 50th Anniversary March on Washington Saturday. It will be the same site where the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his historic "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963.
Congresswoman Fudge will address the gathering between 11:30am and noon, and tells Newsradio WTAM 1100 that she will talk about the progress that has been made over the past 50 years, but will also point out the challenges ahead.
Fudge says more African-Americans have college degrees and are members of the middle class than ever before, but poverty and crime remain a serious problem in the inner city. She would like to see improvements in education and greater voter rights protections.
This Tuesday, Fudge will visit the White House for a reception in honor of the march on Washington, with join with the President and First Lady, and former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.

Beyonce under fire for animal-skin sneakers
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Beyoncé is ruffling the feathers of animal rights group PETA yet again! The brunette bombshell was recently slammed for her latest fashion creation, a pair of sneakers featuring calf hair, ostrich, crocodile, anaconda, and stingray skins! The singer teamed up with customized-sneaker maker PMK and designer Isabel Marant create the sneaker wedges … and the kicks have PETA up in arms.
But Queen B is no stranger to controversy thanks to her penchant for wearing animal skin and fur. In February, Beyoncé was slammed by PETA for wearing a leather costume during her Super Bowl halftime performance. And who can forget the full-length fur coat the "Countdown" singer donned at the 2013 Presidential Inauguration? She's even rocked mink false eyelashes!
