5 Ways to Beat the Post-Cruise Blues
Oh, how hard that post-trip letdown can be sometimes: You're flying high before the trip, excited about your plans. You're packing and prepping and dreaming. Then, your trip is over and you go back to the daily grind, and sometimes you're hit with … the blues. Nobody wants to hear you complaining about how rough it is to be back from fill-in-the-blank exotic destination, but the funk that strikes after vacation can feel very real.
There are ways to combat it, though, especially if you do a little planning ahead. Here are some of our favorite methods:
Disconnect while you're on vacation.
Given Internet prices onboard, it's not hard to stay off-line on the ship, but we've seen passengers squander port time searching for Wi-Fi to catch up on their Facebook® posts.
Spend your trip in the moment, and you won't regret later how much time you wasted staring at a screen. Plus, if you blew up your friends' social media feeds while you were away, those amazing experiences you want to share will be old news when you get back. Make 'em curious about your trip, and you'll get a lot more excitement when you start the slide show — or put up #LaterGram posts on the Instagram® site.
Make plenty of plans.
Avoid the "work-home-repeat" trap before you even leave for vacation by booking lunches or dinners with friends for your first week back. Each meeting offers a new audience for tales you're dying to tell, and hearing what you missed in their lives while you were gone will reconnect you to life at home.
Reward your friends for listening to your stories by cooking — try re-creating your favorite dish from the trip. Don't cook? Definitely return home bearing gifts.
Create a small album to share.
When was the last time you printed those photos lurking on your hard drive? Choose your favorite few shots from the trip. Be ruthless: Don't worry about which ones make you look like a good photographer; just narrow it down to a handful of those that mean the most — the funny or candid shots that will bring back memories — and print them.
Then create a photobook using the Blurb® platform. Or scour the Pinterest® boards for ideas to display photos. Your album will help you show friends and family members what your vacation was like … without overwhelming them with hundreds of images.
If you're the arty type, you should also check out Artifact Uprising™ for nostalgic prints and Instagram postcards.
Put off unpacking so you can savor the memories.
Stash all of your souvenirs in one bag and stow it away when you get home. Wait a week to open it, and then make it an event: Pop a bottle of bubbly and tear into the bag of goodies. The scent of faraway places will hit you first. Open the prizes one at a time with your travel partner while reminiscing about where you found your treasures.
Plan the next adventure.
Once your memories have faded, begin mapping out your next trip, and you'll be amazed at how fast that giddiness returns. Debrief your partner about the highs and lows of your last trip, and spend some time thinking about what you want to gain from the next one. Anticipation can be the most delicious feeling of all, and it sure beats the blues!

- Metro Police radio traffic during the July 10 officer-involved shooting that left Erik Scott dead
5:29 p.m. (Updated at 5:42 p.m.)
A coroner's jury has ruled the police shooting of Erik Scott was justified.
The jury of seven announced the unanimous decision at 5:29 p.m. after deliberating for about an hour and a half.
Scott was fatally shot by Metro officers William Mosher, Thomas Mendiola and Joshua Stark outside the Summerlin Costco store July 10.
Jurors were instructed to determine whether the shooting was justifiable, excusable or criminal. Coroner's juries do not have to be unanimous in reaching their verdict.
Metro Police announced minutes after the verdict was read that Sheriff Doug Gillespie will meet with the news media at 10 a.m. Wednesday to discuss the Costco shooting and the inquest process.
4:59 p.m.
Jurors have reached a verdict in the Erik Scott coroner's inquest. It was expected to be read at 5:20 p.m.
4:08 p.m.
Three jurors, two women and a man, were picked at random to be the alternates and were dismissed as deliberations began. One of those women had consistently asked many questions during the inquest.
There were four men and three women who were selected for the jury. They began deliberations about 3:30 p.m. Jurors will decide whether the shooting was justified, criminal or excusable.
In earlier testimony, Metro Police Detective Barry Jensen said when he interviewed Scott's girlfriend, he asked if Scott was a Green Beret. She told him he had done some stuff "they don't talk about."
Jensen said he checked out Scott's DD-214 separation papers from the military.
"We found he had no special forces training and wasn't a Green Beret," Jensen said. Jensen said they found Scott was honorably discharged in 1996.
3:34 p.m. (Updated at 3:42 p.m.)
Witness testimony for the inquest has ended and the jury of seven has begun deliberations.
More than 1,500 questions were submitted to witnesses over nearly six days of testimony.
Coroner Michael Murphy testified that he met with Erik Scott's family and explained the inquest process to them.
Murphy said the family was told more than once how to provide the names of witnesses to bring to the inquest, but had not done so.
3:30 p.m.
The district attorney's office played more of the recording of police radio traffic for the jury.
Jensen also showed a diagram of the shooting that Scott's girlfriend, Samantha Sterner, helped draw.
Jensen, who oversaw the collection of witness testimony, said Metro sent out 113 letters to Costco members who were at the store and got more than 70 responses. He said he also asked the Las Vegas Review-Journal for a list of witnesses interviewed, but didn't receive one.
An interested party asked Jensen why officers would have their guns drawn before they even saw Scott.
"You don't want to be in a gun-draw contest with somebody," Jensen said.
He also said the officers had little time to react.
"This situation unfolded, due to Erik Scott's actions, quickly," Jensen said.
Officer Mosher fired two shots, one of which hit Scott in the thigh and the other hit him in the chest, Jensen said. That may dicate that Mosher was raising the gun when he fired the first shot, Jensen said.
The bullet that hit Scott's thigh also struck the Ruger gun that was in his pocket, Jensen said.
The bullets from the other two officers were the same caliber, so Jensen said he couldn't tell where those officers' shots landed. Mendiola fired four shots and Stark fired once, Jensen said.
The gun was damaged enough that it couldn't function when tested, Jensen said.
The district attorney's officer has called Coroner Michael Murphy to the stand to testify.
2:37 p.m.
Erik Scott didn't have a permit to carry the gun that was in his pocket when he was shot, a Metro detective testified.
Detective Barry Jensen answered a question that his partner, who testified Monday, could not.
Scott carried a Ruger .380 semi-automatic handgun and a .45-caliber Kimber single action pistol. The Kimber was found in its holster not far from where Scott's body landed after he was shot. The Ruger was found in Scott's clothing as he was being taken to the hospital.
Scott had a concealed carry permit and seven gun registrations in is wallet, but the permit didn't include the Ruger.
"That's a felony crime in Nevada," Jensen said.
The permit did list a .380 Kel Tec, which is similar.
2:22 p.m.
Metro announced that Sheriff Doug Gillespie will hold a news conference Wednesday to discuss the inquest. He will not comment on the case today if a verdict is reached, but Metro officials said they plan to send out a news release to the media once a verdict is announced.
2:18 p.m.
After a slightly longer-than-expected lunch break, the coroner's inquest has resumed.
Detective Barry Jensen, who is expected to be the final witness of the inquest, has taken the stand. The judge again said he expected the inquest to end today.
1:22 p.m.
Justice of the Peace Tony Abbatangelo indicated that the Erik Scott coroner's inquest, now in its sixth day, might be handed over to the jury this afternoon.
Detective Barry Jensen is expected to be the final witness to testify.
After Metro Officer Thomas Mendiola finished his testimony, Abbatangelo said there would be a 45-minute lunch break.
The judge looked at the clock and indicated he wanted to give the jury "time to deliberate" this afternoon.
1:12 p.m.
Thomas Mendiola, the third officer who shot Erik Scott outside the Summerlin Costco, also testified today that he thought people were in danger before he fired.
Mendiola heard the call come from Costco and asked to be sent to the scene since he knew he was the closest officer to the store.
He was told not to use his lights or sirens on the way so he wouldn't spook anyone or make the situation worse, he said.
Mendiola was the first to arrive. His sergeant told him over the radio to stay outside the store and instruct employees to begin an evacuation.
He had been told that Scott had a gun, was acting erratically, throwing things off shelves and may have been on drugs. He was also told that Scott may have been a Green Beret.
While Mendiola was working with store employees, Officer William Mosher arrived and went to the store exit. Mendiola stayed near the entrance, he said.
People were coming out of the store, but it was orderly and there was no running or yelling, Mendiola said.
Officer Joshua Stark then came up and stayed with Mendiola at the entrance, he said.
An employee with access to store surveillance told Mendiola that Scott was in the center of the store, but shortly after he heard Mosher giving orders to someone, Mendiola said.
Mosher yelled, "Hands, let me see your hand," Mendiola said.
But Scott, who matched the description they were given from Costco, reached both hands under his shirt and pulled out a gun, which Scott pointed directly at Mosher, he said.
"I immediately went to center mass, took aim and discharged my weapon," Mendiola said.
Scott was a threat, Mendiola said. "I felt that my fellow officer was in immediate and imminent danger."
Mendiola said he remembered shooting three times, but was later told he fired four times.
"I just fired until I felt that the suspect wasn't a threat. I perceived him as a threat every time I fired," he said.
Asked why he didn't try to shoot the gun out of his hand, Mendiola said his "training was to shoot at center mass, sir."
Chief Deputy District Attorney Christopher Laurent asked Mendiola would have done anything differently in retrospect.
"Absolutely not," Mendiola said. "We don't pick what's going to happen, we react to the situation and that's what the situation presented at that time."
An interested party asked what Mendiola thought when he found out Scott's gun was in a holster the whole time.
"It was still a threat whether it was holstered or not. I did what I had to do," Mendiola said.
Interested parties have submitted more than 1,400 questions during the six days of testimony. Not all have been asked of witnesses; Judge Tony Abbatangelo asks the questions unless they are not appropriate or have already been answered.
12:10 p.m.
The inquest has returned from a short break. Officer Thomas Mendiola, the third officer who shot Scott, is taking the stand.
12:08 p.m.
Assistant District Attorney Chris Owens asked Stark more about why he didn't use a Taser.
Stark said Tasers don't always work properly and are only used when a suspect doesn't present deadly force.
"So when somebody presence a gun, you have to use a gun because they present an imminent threat of death," Stark said.
He said if he had used a Taser, he could have gotten in trouble with his supervisors and Metro's Use of Force Board.
Officers also carry a baton, pepper spray and can use their hands as non-deadly weapons, Stark said.
He said a Taser might be used if a subject was fighting with an officer with his hands, or if the subject put a knife to his own throat.
11:55 a.m.
Joshua Stark, a Metro Police officer who fired at Scott, testified he felt people were in "threat of imminent death" from Scott before he was shot.
Stark was on a lunch break when he heard a call from Costco over the police radio, he assigned himself to the call and went to the Costco store, which he is familiar with from shopping there, as well as responding to other calls, he said.
He heard over the radio that a man was in the store throwing merchandise and acting erratically, he said. They were told Scott might be under the influence of drugs and had a gun.
When he arrived at the store Officer William Mosher was by the store's exit and Officer Thomas Mendiola was near the entrance.
Stark said he thought Scott was refusing to come out of the store and that the officers would finish evacuating customers and then go into the store to confront Scott.
Stark went to Mendiola for an update and was near the store's entrance when he heard Mosher giving loud commands to someone else, he said.
Mosher's orders included the word "ground," but Stark said he didn't understand the exact commands. "The suspect is not complying at all," he said.
Scott's arm then reached behind him, exactly to where Costco security had told the officers Scott had a gun, Stark said. Scott struggled to get something out before bringing his hand forward and pointing it at Mosher, Stark testified.
"He pulls out the gun and it comes forward," Stark said, then shots were fired.
"I wasn't sure who had been shot, I just knew shots had been fired," Stark said, explaining that he was focused on Scott's hands.
"I fired my handgun because I thought my partner Officer Mosher and everybody behind him was in the threat of imminent death," he said.
Stark fired once, then said he stopped to reassess and noticed that Scott had dropped the gun and was starting to fall, "so he was no longer a threat" and Stark didn't fire again, he said.
He continued to keep his gun aimed at Scott while Mosher handcuffed him, he said.
He then noticed the gun laying 5 or 6 feet away from Scott's feet, in its holster, Stark said.
Asked why he didn't use his Taser, Stark said, "Deadly force is always met with deadly force."
After other officers arrived, Stark was put into a patrol car so he couldn't talk to anyone about what happened and then met with homicide detectives, he said.
Stark said he didn't know Scott's gun was in the holster when he shot, but even if he had, he knows it is possible to shoot through a holster, especially a soft one.
He also said every other concealed weapon permit holder he has dealt with has put his hands up in the air when confronted by officers.
Stark said he knew medical officials were staged nearby at the time of the shooting, so he helped clear the crowd to get them to Scott rather than trying to help Scott himself. He isn't trained to give medical help, he said.
Judge Tony Abbatangelo is still asking Stark questions submitted by interested parties.
11:08 a.m.
Metro Police Officer Dustin Bundy testified he was at Costco and heard the shooting, but didn't see what happened because he was behind a pillar.
Bundy, who has been with the department for less than a year and half, responded to a call he heard on the radio of a man with a gun inside the store, he said.
Over the radio, the officers were told the man was acting erratically, had a gun and was throwing merchandise, he said.
When he arrived he saw another police officer near the door, but Bundy was helping to move the crowd of people away from the building when he heard someone yell "gun."
He then heard three or four gunshots within a second, Bundy said, but he never saw a gun or saw Scott because of his location.
He said into his radio that shots had been fired, then heard Officer William Mosher say the same thing.
When Bundy came around the pillar, he saw Scott lying face-down on the ground with three officers with their guns "drawn down" on Scott, he said.
He also aimed his shotgun on Scott, but when he saw Scott wasn't moving he began to look around and noticed a handgun in its holster about 3 feet from Scott's feet, Bundy said. He said he didn't see a cell phone on the ground.
He saw Mosher handcuff Scott, then he moved his attention to a woman who had become hysterical and was yelling, he said.
Bundy then helped to move the crowd back and put up crime scene tape, he said. He didn't see Scott again.
When asked why he didn't give CPR or try to save Scott, Bundy said he is not trained in emergency medicine or CPR.
Officer Josh Stark, one of the three officers who fired at Scott is now taking the stand.
10:39 a.m.
Dustin Bundy, another Metro Police officer present during the shooting, is the first witness of the day.
10:32 a.m.
The coroner's inquest into the shooting death of Erik Scott resumed this morning at the Regional Justice Center in downtown Las Vegas.
This is the sixth day of testimony in the inquest, which originally was scheduled to last three days. The proceedings were to begin at 10 a.m., but jurors entered the courtroom at about 10:30 a.m.
Police responded to the Summerlin Costco on July 10 when an employee called 911 to report a man acting erratically, possibly on drugs, damaging merchandise and carrying a pistol in his waistband.
Shortly after police arrived, Scott was shot to death outside the door by three officers.
Officer William Mosher, the first of three officers who fired shots at Scott and the first to pull his trigger, testified Thursday and Friday. The other two officers, Joshua Stark and Thomas Mendiola, are expected on the stand today.

February is National Pet Dental Health Month
Does your pet have bad breath? Bad breath not only smells bad, it can be unhealthy.
Up to 80% of dogs and 70% of cats that do not receive proper dental care may show signs of dental disease by the age of 3.
Gingivitis is considered the earliest stage of periodontal disease. This stage is reversible with proper care. In the early phase of gingivitis, some plaque is present and there is a mild redness of the gums.
Periodontal disease is an inflammation of some or all of a tooth's deep supporting structures. Periodontal disease is the most common clinical conditions occurring in adult dogs and cats and although the prognosis is irreversible, it is entirely preventable. Periodontal disease begins when bacteria in the mouth form a substance called plaque that sticks to the surface of the teeth. Subsequently, minerals in the saliva harden the plaque into tartar, which is firmly attached to the teeth. The real problem develops as plaque and tartar spread under the gum line. Bacteria under the gum line secrete toxins, which contribute to the tissue damage if untreated, and eventually leading to the loss of the tooth.
What steps can be taken to ensure your pet's dental health? If not daily brushing, at least weekly brushing of your pet's teeth will get great results. Do NOT use regular human toothpaste for your dog. Most human toothpastes include fluoride, which is extremely poisonous to dogs. You can find toothpaste formulated for dogs at most pet stores. Crunchy foods make for less tartar build up than canned food. Chew toys and rope toys will naturally clean their teeth as they play and giving your pet dental treats is one of the easiest ways to improve their dental health. You get your teeth checked once a year-your pet should too!

This is the first in a new series where Experian's credit expert Joe Green will be answering your questions about all things credit. In this post, Joe explains what your credit report is and how it could affect your mortgage application.
What is my credit report?
Your credit report contains information about how well you have managed any credit accounts you have held, such as mortgages, credit cards, overdrafts, mobile phone contracts and even some utilities, over the last six years.
Your credit report will also contain public information, such as your address, if you are registered on the Electoral Roll, or if you have any County Court Judgements (known as CCJs), bankruptcies or IVA's in your name.
When you make any application for credit, or for a service which is provided on credit, the company will ask your permission to come to a credit reference agency, such as Experian, to do a credit check on you, so that they can understand how you have managed credit in the past.
For most people, the information on their credit report is positive and supports them getting accepted for credit and getting the best rates. It's very important that you check your credit report regularly to ensure everything is accurate and up to date – before you make any credit applications.
What is credit scoring?
When you make a credit application, the company you apply to will look at three sources of information to help 'score' your application. The lender will consider information from your application, such as your salary and employment status, together with any customer records they have with you already. They will then seek your permission to review your credit report to see how you have repaid any credit lent to you in the past. All of this information is combined with their lending policy rules to give your application a score. It is this score that will help a lender decide if they will accept your application or not.
You do not have a single credit score, as each lender will score your application slightly differently depending on their individual lending criteria. At Experian, we also offer people an Experian Credit Score, which is a guide to help you understand how the information in your credit report is likely to be viewed by a lender and will also help anyone working to improve the picture their credit report paints of them.
How can my credit score affect my mortgage application?
Lenders are simply looking to confirm that you are who you say you are, that you can afford to pay back the money they lend to you and that you are likely to meet the agreed repayments, both now, and in the future.
As mortgages are for significant amounts, they will often have stricter lender criteria applied to them, so it's important that you're constantly building up a positive credit history before making your application.
What lenders look for:
- Missed/late payments or defaulted accounts – a sign that you might not be reliable at meeting agreed repayments
- How much of your total available credit you are using – so, avoid maxing out your credit cards, as it may imply you need credit to survive
- If you have made other credit applications recently. Lenders can see if you have applied and been accepted for other credit products. Too many applications could cause concern that you are under financial pressure.
- Mortgage affordability rules mean lenders are required to ensure you can afford repayments in the future – if, for example, the interest rates rise – so it's good to pay debts down in the run up to a mortgage application.
If you are thinking of applying for a mortgage, spending time understanding what lenders will be looking for and how you can improve the picture your credit report paints of your financial situation can really pay dividends.

The Alternation of generations (or alternation of phases)[1] describes the life cycle of plants, fungi and protists. A multicellular diploid phase alternates with a multicellular haploid phase. The term can be confusing for people familiar only with the life cycle of a typical animal. A more understandable name would be "alternation of phases of a single generation" because we usually consider a generation of a species to encompass one complete life cycle. The life cycle of organisms with "alternation of generations" is characterized by each phase consisting of one of two distinct organisms: a gametophyte (thallus (tissue) or plant), which is genetically haploid, and a sporophyte (thallus or plant), which is genetically diploid. A haploid plant of the gametophyte generation produces gametes by mitosis. Two gametes (originating from different organisms of the same species or from the same organism) combine to produce a zygote, which develops into a diploid plant of the sporophyte generation. This sporophyte produces spores by meiosis, which germinate and develop into a gametophyte of the next generation. This cycle, from gametophyte to gametophyte, is the way in which all land plants and many algae undergo sexual reproduction.
It is often stated that the distinction of "free-living" is important, because all sexually reproducing organisms can be thought to involve alternating phases, at least at the cellular level as meiosis. However, alternation of generations implies that both the diploid and haploid stages are multicellular and this is more important than "free-living".[2] Such a distinction changes the concept to one separating animals and plants. The gametophyte and sporophyte are usually separate, independent organisms in basal algae such as Ulva lactuca, where the gametes are free-swimming, and the zygote is formed in the water. By contrast, in land plants the sporophytes are to a greater or lesser extent dependent on the gametophytes, and vice-versa, especially in the gymnosperms and angiosperms. Indeed it is a defining characteristic of the land plants, or embryophytes (and hence the name), that a developing multicellular sporophyte is, for at least the first stages of its development, nurtured by the gametophyte, as can be seen most clearly in the bryophytes.
All plants have diploid sporophyte and haploid gametophyte stages that are multicellular, and the differences between plant groups are in the relative sizes, forms, and trophic abilities of the gametophyte or sporophyte forms, as well as the level of differentiation in the gametophytes. An example would be comparing pollen and ovules to bisexual gametophyte thalli. Both approaches are discussed in this article.
Life cycles in which there is no multicellular diploid phase are referred to as haplontic. Life cycles with alternating haploid and diploid phases are diplohaplontic, but the equivalent terms diplobiontic, haplodiplontic, or dibiontic are also in use. Two main types of diplohaplontic (alternating) life-cycles are recognized: if the sporophyte and the gametophyte generations are more or less identical in form, the life cycle is said to be isomorphic, meaning "same form". If the generations have very different morphology, the life cycle is called heteromorphic meaning "different forms".
Heterogamy is a term used to describe alternation between parthenogenic and sexually reproductive phases that occurs in some animals. Although conceptually similar to "alternation of generations", the genetics of heterogamy is significantly different.
Fungal mycelia are typically haploid. When mycelia of different mating types meet, they produce two multinucleate ball-shaped cells, which join via a "mating bridge". Nuclei move from one mycelium into the other, forming a heterokaryon (meaning "different nuclei"). This process is called plasmogamy. Actual fusion to form diploid nuclei is called karyogamy, and may not occur until sporangia are formed. Karogamy produces a diploid zygote, which is a short-lived sporophyte that soon undergoes meiosis to form haploid spores. When the spores germinate, they develop into new mycelia.
Some protists undergo an alternation of generations, including the slime molds, foraminifera, and many marine algae.
The life cycle of slime molds is very similar to that of fungi. Haploid spores germinate to form swarm cells or myxamoebae. These fuse in a process referred to as plasmogamy and karyogamy to form a diploid zygote. The zygote develops into a plasmodium, and the mature plasmodium produces, depending on the species, one to many fruiting bodies containing haploid spores.
Foraminifera undergo a heteromorphic alternation of generations between haploid gamont and diploid agamont phases. The single-celled haploid organism is typically much larger than the diploid organism.
Alternation of generations occurs in almost all marine algae. In most red algae, many green algae, and a few brown algae, the phases are isomorphic and free-living. Some species of red algae have a complex triphasic alternation of generations. Kelp are an example of a brown alga with a heteromorphic alternation of generations. Species from the genus Laminaria have a large sporophytic thallus that produces haploid spores which germinate to produce free-living microscopic male and female gametophytes.
Bryophyte plants including the liverworts, hornworts and mosses undergo an alternation of generations; the gametophyte generation is the most conspicuous. The haploid gametophyte produces haploid gametes in multicellular gametangia. The female gametangium is called an archegonium (pl. archegonia) and produces eggs, while male structure, called an antheridium (pl. antheridia), produces sperm. Water is required so that the sperm can swim to the archegonium, where the eggs are fertilized to form the diploid zygote. The zygote develops into a sporophyte that is dependent on the parent gametophyte. Mature sporophytes produce haploid spores by meiosis in sporangia (sing. sporangium). When a spore germinates, it develops into another gametophyte. They are also seedless.

Ferns and their allies, including clubmoss and horsetails, reproduce via an alternation of generations. The conspicuous plant observed in the field is the diploid sporophyte. This plant creates by meiosis single-celled haploid spores which are shed and dispersed by the wind (or in some cases, by floating on water). If conditions are right, a spore will germinate and grow into a rather inconspicuous plant body called a prothallus. The haploid prothallus does not resemble the sporophyte, and as such ferns and their allies have a heteromorphic alternation of generations. The prothallus is short-lived, but carries out sexual reproduction, producing the diploid zygote that then grows out of the prothallus as the sporophyte.
In the spermatophytes, the seed plants, the sporophyte is the dominant multicellular phase, and the gametophytes are both strongly reduced in size and different in morphology. Female gametophytes occur only in the seeds, and male gametophytes only in the pollen. A gymnosperm seed, growing on the diploid sporophyte parent, initially contains a haploid female gametophyte bearing a haploid egg cell enclosed in a cup-shaped structure known as the archegonium. The egg is fertilised by a sperm nucleus from a pollen grain, that contains a miniature male gametophyte. The resulting diploid zygote develops into the seed embryo, which is the diploid sporophyte of the next generation. During its development, which in gymnosperms may take 2-3 years, the offspring sporophyte and its parent gametophyte are both nurtured by the 'grandparent' sporophyte until the seed is ripe enough to be released.
The term Alternation of generations (or phases) is used to describe the life cycle of certain eukaryotes: plants, fungi and protists.
In sexual reproduction, organisms have a haploid phase, with one set of chromosomes, alternating with a diploid phase with two sets of chromosomes. In animals the body (soma) is usually diploid, while the haploid stage is restricted to the gametes. In other eukaryotes alternation of generations may occur. The classic example is the mosses, where the green plant is a haploid gametophyte, and the reproductive phase is the diploid sporophyte.[1]p18
The term alternation of generations refers only to the sexual cycle; organisms often have asexual reproduction as well.
Tortula muralis]]
The alternation of generations is an important concept in the evolution of plants.[2]
All land plants, and some algae, have life cycles in which a haploid gametophyte generation alternates with a diploid sporophyte, which has a double set of chromosomes. In mosses, the gametophyte is the dominant generation, while the sporophytes consist of sporangium-bearing stalks growing from the tips of the gametophytes. For flowering plants (Angiosperms), the sporophyte generation comprises almost their whole life cycle (the whole green plant, roots etc), except phases of small reproductive structures (pollen and ovule).
The sporophyte produces spores (hence the name), by meiosis. These meiospores develop into a gametophyte. Both the spores and the resulting gametophyte are haploid, meaning they only have one set of chromosomes. Later, the mature gametophyte produces male or female gametes (or both) by mitosis. The fusion of male and female gametes produces a diploid zygote which develops into a new sporophyte. This is the cycle which is known as alternation of generations or alternation of phases. ]]
Most algae have dominant gametophyte generations, but in some species the gametophytes and sporophytes are morphologically similar (isomorphic).
Bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts) have a dominant gametophyte stage on which the adult sporophyte is dependent on the gametophyte for nutrition. The embryo of the sporophyte develops from the zygote within the female sex organ, and in its early development is therefore nurtured by the gametophyte.
An independent sporophyte is the dominant form in all clubmosses, horsetails, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms (flowering plants) that have survived to the present day.
Early land plants had sporophytes that produced identical spores (isosporous or homosporous) but the ancestors of the gymnosperms evolved complex heterosporous life cycles in which the spores producing male and female gametophytes were of different sizes, the female megaspores tending to be larger, and fewer in number, than the male microspores.
During the Devonian period several plant groups independently evolved heterospory and subsequently the habit of endospory, in which single megaspores were retained within the sporangia of the parent sporophyte. These endosporic megaspores contained within them a miniature multicellular female gametophyte complete with female sex organs containing egg cells which were fertilised by free-swimming sperm produced by windborne miniatuarised male gametophytes in the form of pre-pollen.
The resulting zygote developed into the next sporophyte generation while still retained within the pre-ovule, the single large female meiospore or megaspore contained in the modified sporangium of the parent sporophyte. The evolution of heterospory and endospory were among the earliest steps in the evolution of seeds of the kind produced by gymnosperms and angiosperms today.[3][4][5]

We had a full house for our Shakespeare Festival in week 9 of Term 4.
Romeo & Juliet
The R/1 class presented their own take on Taylor Swift's 'Love Story' with a cute - and funny - video featuring a dozen Juliets, an octet of Romeos and a plot to capture the balcony.
The Tempest
The Year 2/3's presented a live-action retelling of the Tempest, starting with the mighty storm, and ending just where it all gets mushy! Some great character performances from the various Ariels, Prosperos, daughters, princes, sailors and Calabans!
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Year 4 went all technical with a green-screen version of the classic Shakespearean comedy. They covered the famed 'play-within-a-play', the marriage and the 'end'. Some clever effects and a mysteriously magical unicorn!
The Year 5/6 class wowed with two sixty-second versions of Macbeth. The boys were marginally quicker than the girls but the girls won with their dramatic interpretations.
The Year 7/8 class performed the entirety of Hamlet: in rap! They put their raps to music then created video clips to accompany them.
Thank you...
Sprinkled throughout were 3D animations made by the Year 9's introducing the plays: thank you to the Year 9 class for this special contribution!
Thank you as always to our supportive parents and to Mrs Hector for her special Shakespeare 'Readers of-the-Week'.

Come out to the parents!
Sometime it's not consultations with parents!
It's to force parents accept the fact!
In March 2008, to celebrate a birthday, Claire, her friends and her family went to a restaurant near the home. She remembers that it was a fine day. During the dinner, her daughter a sophomore suddenly passed a yellow envelope, mysteriously to say don't read it now. Favorite restaurant, greetings from friends and relatives, as well as surprise mystery gift, this birthday made her very happy so far. She could not resist the heart excited, go to the Restroom quietly and read the envelope. "For a mother, the best birthday gift is to knowing the real mind of her children." The letter says, "So I'm going to tell the truth about myself – I'm gay."
Claire felt the blood rush on the top of her head. She could hear a sound of "bang "!
She knows what it is. Her daughter ever took her to a gay bar, they have fun there. A trip, she read her daughter's diary left on the car. There are some descriptions about the love. Using the word "her". Claire was surprised, and said in a joking tone: "are you gay?" Her daughter denies and she is Senior high school student that time. Others will clearly identify that it's the pave the way of the daughter to come out—popularity of their gay knowledge, before informing the true to parents, to reduce their misunderstanding and prejudice.
"The phenomenon of homosexuality, I can accept. That's happens in someone else's home." But I never dreamed that it would happen to my daughter."
Accept the daughter's come out is a gradual and slow process, but mother's personal experience is that "like experiencing a disaster." In the beginning, her instinctive reaction was to escape and can not believe. During that time she was sleepless nights, and repeatedly to recall every thing of the daughter from baby to grow up, just like a movie, the scene in the mind over again". As a mother, she asked herself: if I'm doing not good enough in daughter's process of growing up?
So, what's your mind? Can you share your story?

Each Act covers a different set of workers. With exceptions, the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, which is Federal law, applies to "any person engaged in maritime employment, including any longshoreman or other person engaged in longshoring operations, and any harbor-worker including a ship repairman, shipbuilder, and ship-breaker…." Section 902(3). One of the most important exceptions is for "a master or member of a crew of any vessel." Section 902(3)(G). The rights of these individuals are governed by the Jones Act and Admiralty Law.
Florida's workers' compensation laws are contained in Chapter 440 of Florida's Statutes. They govern the rights of almost every other type of worker employed in the state. Federal employees do not fall under Florida's workers' compensation system.
While the LHWCA and Florida's Chapter 440 are strikingly similar in many respects, one significant difference involves physician selection. Under Section 907(b) of the LHWCA, "[t]he employee shall have the right to choose an attending physician…." In contrast, the employer/carrier selects the treating physicians in Florida's system. Section 440.13 Florida Statutes.

Online sales grew by nearly 20% in 2016 for American Eagle Outfitters Inc. in fiscal 2016.
That growth helped push online's share of total sales to 22% in fiscal 2016 compared with 19% in fiscal 2015, a spokesman for the apparel retail chain tells Internet Retailer. Online sales for the fiscal year ended Jan. 28 were $794.2 million, up 18.7% from $669.2 million in the year-ago period.
In the fiscal fourth quarter, online sales of $296.3 million accounted for 27% of sales up 16.5% from $254.3 million last year when they accounted for 23%, according to American Eagle, No. 63 in the Internet Retailer 2016 Top 500 Guide.
"When you look at our strategies in (fiscal year 2017) in particular related to our digital business, we are primarily focused on a few areas," chief financial officer Bob Madore told analysts on the call, according to a transcript from Seeking Alpha. "One is personalization, the other is loyalty, international and then just overall performance of the site. We are going to constantly look to differentiate the site from our competitors, improve the customer shopping experience, [and] improve things like checkout functionality."
The retailer plans to close some stores to improve the overall business, but Madore and others didn't specify how many stores will close or when.
"We are seeking opportunities to further consolidate markets where it makes sense," Madore said. "Additionally, we are taking a deep dive, market by market, to ensure that we have [the] best brand presence and that we are maximizing our commercial opportunity across stores and digital. We have great analytics and data available to us to show digital penetration versus brick-and-mortar, and based on our learnings of closing stores and historical recapture rates, we will more aggressively look to close stores going forward." American Eagle operates 1,050 stores worldwide.
For the fiscal fourth quarter ended Jan. 28, American Eagle also reported:
For fiscal 2016, American Eagle reported:

Bangalore: Sathya Sai Baba's Projects Inspiration To Us – Devi Shetty
BANGALORE September 15, 2008: Noted heart surgeon Devi Shetty, the brain child of Karnataka Governnment's Health Scheme for the poor farmers – Yashasvini and the founder of Narayana Hrudayalaya visited the Prema Jyothi Exhibition conducted by the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations at Palace ground today.
Excerpt of the interview follows:
Q: How do you feel about this exhibition about Sathya Sai Baba's Projects and his mission?
(Devi Shetty) A: It is a divine experience. It could be done more often, across places. This has been done in a nice and simple way so that even a common man can understand.
Q: Since you belong to the medical fraternity what is your view on free medical service that Satya Sai organization has been providing to the masses?
(Devi Shetty) A: It is very inspiring and only Bhagawan can do it at such a magnitude. Nevertheless each physician in his own moderate way should contribute to the society.
Q: What is your message to medical fraternity?
(Devi Shetty) A: As mentioned earlier, each physician can contribute in his own moderate way to the society. Bhagawan has done it and shown it. He has set an example to follow and each should do whatever he can.

My robot kit comes with an IR controller but it's a bit finicky and needs line of sight. An ESP8266 chip would be a low weight, low power way to let him speak Wifi. First I got a couple of ESP-03 chips and tested out some of the different firmware options. It can use the Hayes command set (AT commands), a Lua interpreter, MicroPython or be programmed directly like an Arduino.
To make the 3.3v ESP work with the 5v Makeblock board, I used an 74HC245 as a level shifter. Makeblock uses RJ25 (6 pin) cables between modules so I took some RJ14 (4 pin) ports from some old ADSL filters we had lying around and modded it into an RJ25 port.
Now it's all wired up and the ESP is just programmed to emulate the output of the IR board (in response to HTTP requests rather than IR button presses). The Makeblock board is essentially just an Arduino though, so I'll probably modify the code on there a bit as well.
He still needs an umbilical cord to power the ESP though. Unfortunately 3v batteries can't provide enough power and neither can the Arduino. The next thing I'm going to try will be an AMS1117 voltage regulator with a more powerful battery.
Edit: the 3.3v voltage regulator worked fine and the ESP can now be powered from a single power source

The main reason why this is such a coveted Achievement is because of the Legacy title which it grants: Manhunter. Curiously, the fourth Achievement (killing 10,000) is actually called <Manhunter>, which isn't confusing at all.
You've probably worked out the point of this blog post already, so I'll stop beating around the bush and get straight to lighting it on fire.
Wrong metaphor? Definitely.
Yesterday evening, I finally managed to earn this Achievement on Calph. It had been three years, five months, and five days since I had earned the 10,000 Player Kills Achievement.
Getting gradually closer and closer has rather dominated my priorities in PvP combat of-late, since rather than go and guard as I usually do on Calph (because Gunslingers are flippin' good guards), I found myself wanting to get more into the action to get this done quicker.
This backfired considerably on Sunday, the day I originally planned to earn the Achievement - if for no other reason than it allowing my Monday-post-schedule to be met - due to the teams we kept coming across; I needed roughly seventy kills, and whilst a couple of late-afternoon match proved decent, the only Warzones where we had any marked success during my guild's "PvP Prime-Time" in actually killing multiple players were Arenas. The teams we came across in the two VoidStar matches we were allocated had too many Healers to allow for killing no more than ten players across both rounds. These things happen, but it was rather disappointing to miss my goal.
So it was that I began Monday with twenty-eight players left to kill. As with Sunday, kills weren't particularly easy to get due to the skill/plenitude of the Healers, but I did manage to get eighteen kills between the initial VoidStar and Novare Coast matches. Odessen Proving Grounds was the third WarZone, which historically doesn't really provide much opportunity to get many kills, but as luck would have it things worked out nicely. I ended up with twelve kills, which, if you've been following closely, you should be able to work out as two surplus kills to my desired total of ten.
|The Moment of Glory
Of course, with a new shiny and highly-coveted Legacy title comes the opportunity to come up with a funny Screenshot showing it in use. I decided that I would punish some of my Companions in fulfilling this goal, because I just couldn't think of anything more original at the time.
|"Oh, c'mon, you big lump, share the love!"
|(Out of frame: C2 holding a pistol in Koth's direction)
Besides, I much prefer Party Crasher as Calph's Legacy title. Much more apt.
I'm pleased to finally have this Legacy title as a part of my arsenal, but I'm just so relieved to get this Achievement under my belt in general. It is by far one of the most tantalising Achievements, in spite of its "inevitable" status for people who engage in PvP frequently.
This in many ways is probably what puts a lot of people off. 50,000 is, as already mentioned, a very sizeable amount of players to kill for the 'casual' PvPer, a caste which I most certainly throw myself into. Indeed, if I were to find a way to let my younger self know that I would be getting this Achievement, I'd probably be scoffed at.
Quite how a new player feels when they look at that Achievement and its requirements I don't know; I'm sure some will see it as a challenge, but PvP is no longer as 'easy' to get into gear-wise as it used to be. Indeed, if it wasn't for Patch 3.3 reducing the gear costs to a very manageable level I probably would never have escaped from my self-imposed 'PvP drought'.
Back to the matter at hand.
It's been a long road getting to this point, and I'm happy to be 'released' back to my guarding duties in future matches. Now all I need to do is earn those pesky final seven-and-three-quarter Valor levels...

Here's to New Adventures
A while back I posted some guest contributions from Jen Charette and Kristen Lummis, aka Velo Mom and Brave Ski Mom, respectively. I had mentioned that we were in the process of combining our super powers into a collaborative writing venture known as The Adventure Moms. Well, it took a while for things to get rolling, but its now official – our first project will be writing for Women's Adventure Magazine's online blog! After an introductory post last week, our trio will be featured on the blog on the third Monday of each month, writing about…you guessed it – adventures and families! As a team we'll be covering family-friendly destinations, and tips on getting everyone involved and keeping the whole gang happy. Today's post is centered around family-friendly mountain-biking in Moab, UT with a quick blurb about hiking and climbing . So if you're in need of another blog to follow, check out the Women's Adventure blog, and leave us some comment love!

Hi -
I'm changing the format a bit, to put the news and more interesting bits
at the front. It's New Year's Day 2015. 2014 for me was... interesting. Some of it good, some of
it bad. It wasn't the year I expected or wanted going in, and I'm glad
it's done and I'm hoping for calmer seas ahead. There's been great music,
and a couple of great interviews. Hopefully there'll be more of that in
the new year, too. It's nice to put faces to names. I'm not sure what the
new year will bring, but I'll do my best to keep inflicting strange music
upon the unsuspecting masses.
Um... I mean...
But seriously folks, thanks for making great music, thanks for sending
it to me, and most of all thanks for listening. It's nice to know that people appreciate the
music and the effort. Support the music you love. The people who make it
are people just like the rest of us, trying to make their way in this
world. Make sure they know their efforts are appreciated, too.
I've been working on my own creative endeavors with what little time I
can find. I've victimized a few of you with my photographic endeavors, and most of you
still speak to me. Mostly landscapes and cemeteries, with a few odd things
thrown in here and there. It's work, but it's fun too. I'm working on
making it more available for others to see. If you're interested, let me
Most of you know me at this point. but there's a few that might not. My
name is Scott Raymond, and for those of you who don't know me, I'm a New
Age/Ambient/Electronic music DJ with WVKR-FM. WVKR is a 3700 watt
non-commercial station broadcasting from Vassar College to the greater
Hudson Valley region. My show, "Secret Music", has been on for over 27
years and has a large and devoted audience. The show airs every Sunday
from 9AM to 12 noon EST. For more information or to listen in online,
check out our website at www.wvkr.org.
I'm always looking for new and interesting music to play. If you have
something you think I'd be interested in, feel free to send it to the address below. I'm perfectly
fine with downloads instead of CD's, especially for all you overseas
people who pay large sums of money to mail things here to the states.
Don't get me wrong. I love CD's and love to see nice packaging. But I know
what it costs to mail such things, too. It's up to you. I usually prefer
high quality MP3's, though I can accept other formats if necessary. Just
send me an email for more info. At least half of what I play these days
comes to me through downloads. Thanks.
Many of you have noted that my mailing address has changed, though some
of you may want to double check. I wouldn't want something to get lost or returned
when mail forwarding runs out. For various reasons, I've decided to go
with a PO Box for the foreseeable future. Please use the following address
for all mailings through traditional post. For UPS/package mailings,
please contact me for a suitable shipping address. Thanks for your
Scott Raymond/WVKR

The demography of Australia particularly Sydney is changing faster than ever. With Parramatta becoming the second great city, it is about time we hear from the younger Australians with a South Asian background as to how they feel about themselves i.e. their identity, parenting, profession, politics and contribution to the society. Each panelist will be given about 7 minutes to speak and introduce themselves before the forum goes to the audience for Q & A. The forum will be conducted by a mediator who will ensure a smooth flow of discussion.
Azal is a first generation Pakistani who has grown up in Sydney. She studied law and journalism at UTS and recently finished an MBA in entrepreneurship. She is a writer and journalist and has worked at various publications including News Corp at the Daily Telegraph. She is now spending time working on her own ethical fashion business, Kan & Khan. Azal has always been passionate about art and design and she has channeled her passion for sustainability and artisan empowerment into her fashion label. She is also an Indian classical dancer and completed her Bharatnatyam graduation in 2016.
Bali is an actor, producer, director and diversity advisor for Australia's theatre and screen industry consulting on story development and the engagement of members of diverse communities in Australian productions with Producers, Directors, and Casting Directors in Australia.
International stage performing credits include Festa!, a British-Brazilian co-production staged at London's Young Vic Theatre, followed by a critically acclaimed season of STOMP's Lost & Found Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall, London. Australian credits include The Big Funk (TAP Gallery), Babies Proms: Bollywood Baby, Oneness: Voice Without Form (Sydney Opera House), Singled Out (Seymour Centre), The Lunch Hour (Darlinghurst Theatre with Siren Theatre Co) and In the Space Between (Cleveland St Theatre).

First day of school
Well, what do you know!! My bloggers block seems to have disappeared!! So pouring your soul into a post does have positive results. I feel much more like myself again. Another thing I wish to share with you all before I go back to clothes and stuff is that I have booked myself in at the university counselling. I wasn't sure whether or not I needed/wanted to but I think it's best as I don't want to go back to the way I was.
The way I was actually ties in with this post. This post is really for my Mum for many reasons. When she dropped me off in Preston we went to M&S to have a final divulge of my discount card and she said I could choose any hat I wanted.
I debated over the bowler and she said well you'd have to feel supa-dupa to wear it and I'm wearing it today!! I'm also wearing shorts with my dress which is for my Mum as the last thing she said to me was watch the length of your skirts with your tights and stuff. So this outfit is for you!
Showing off the brunette hair. After wishing to be blonde still it's actually look so much better! Which i'm pleased about so hopefully Mother will be pleased!!
Just to prove I wore shorts with my short dress.
I apologise for the mess and the girlie bits in the background, I'm still sorting out my tip of a bedroom but I'm pleased I can take photos, I wasn't sure how I would manage it but I managed to find an affective way.
I love this satchel, I didn't bring it home over the summer…so sad 😦 I added a long chain Topshop locket to the look. No bangles today because bangles and writing don't mix well 😦
So, after laughing at all the first years for being in their carefully selected outfits which took them days to choose, I haven't been much better with the exception that I did cobble this outfit together within 10 minutes although blogging about it and taking effort doesn't make me much better. Who cares, it's what makes me feel good!! xx

Hello, friends! Just wanted to drop in and wish everyone a happy, healthy, and delicious holiday season!
I didn't know it was possible to feel nostalgic towards foods that I never liked growing up, but it is and I did, reading through Anya Kassoff's, The Vibrant Table. Pumpkin rice porridge was common in our home, but I've never been able to appreciate the the texture of mushy rice. The sweet and aromatic flavour of pumpkin, however, always lured me in to have a few bites, and it was weird…I liked it…but I didn't.
Then I saw this version of pumpkin porridge made with amaranth (a porridge texture I love), tart cranberries, spiced with vanilla bean + cardamom, and served with almond milk….
So now that the fall squash madness has come and gone, and the holidays are on their way out, we can go back to eating squash, right? It's called winter squash for a reason. I made the porridge with butternut squash, but feel free to use pumpkin, as Anya intended, or another variety of winter squash.
Also make sure to check out the summer version of this porridge (with stewed strawberries!!!) on Golubka, Anya's gorgeous blog.
Adapted from The Vibrant Table by Anya Kassoff
- 3 cups of unsweetened almond milk (preferably home-made) + more for serving
- 1 lb pumpkin or winter squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed into bite sized pieces (I used butternut squash)
- 3 Tbsp. coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground cardamom
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1 cup amaranth, soaked for 8 hours or overnight
- 1 Tbsp. coconut oil
- handful of dried cranberries, to taste
- nuts or seeds for topping (optional) – I used pecans
- Combine the first five ingredients in a large saucepan. Open the vanilla bean, scrape the seeds, and add them to the pan, along with the pod.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add drained amaranth, and bring mixture back to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, stir in cranberries and coconut oil, then bake, uncovered for 20 or so minutes, until its bubbling on top.
- Cool slightly before serving with nuts + extra almond milk.

Today I will share with you 5 easy steps to follow if you want to make your own tea. Drying herbs for tea is easier than you think. Just keep on reading and you will find out how to do it.
Because I love tea, I sometimes prefer to make my own, instead of buying it from the stores. Of course, this is a process that takes time but I love each step of it including to dry herbs for my tea. I like to read about the plants that can be used for teas, the ones I can find around. Every time I have the chance, when I am out in the nature, I take a look around and check if by any chance I can see any herbs, which can be transformed into lovely tea.
Here is how you can dry the herbs you handpicked out in the nature:
1. Find
Find clean plants, without dust, which can be collected and do not require washing. When you are out in the nature, far from the busy city, this is not a difficult task. By washing the plants you will interfere with the drying process and this is not recommended.
2. Sort
Sort the plants you decided you want to dry. You will want to include only the nice looking ones, without any stains or bad leaves. This will help having a nice looking tea in the end.
3. Lay flat
Lay on flat the sorted herbs, on a dry surface. The surface can be a paper, a clean towel, a newspaper or something similar. You can also opt for using a mesh bag. Make sure that you put the herbs in a thin layer as this will help by shortening the duration of the drying process.
4. Drying the herbs
Put the herbs in direct sunlight or somewhere warm and dry. Make sure that you put them away from dust, in order to keep your tea clean. Also if you put them outside check if it is not windy, otherwise your plants will fly all over the place.
5. Ready and store
The herbs are ready when they are dry and they crumble between your fingers. Depending on the place where they were stored, the time to get the dried may vary. To make sure that the plants are well preserved, they should keep their specific smell even after they are dried. Now that your plants are ready, you can store them in airtight jars. You can store them as they are or you can cut them with some scissors in smaller pieces. This will make the blend easier to use when making tea. If you want them even smaller you can use a food processor.
And that is all! Drying your tea herbs is not that difficult, right?
Now you have your lovely tea ready to be enjoyed.
You can nicely decorate the jar you prepared and it can make

DAL (6-9) vs NYG (5-10)
Game Prediction: DAL 17, NYG 14
This is a rematch of the week five game when the Giants won 26-10. This is the last game of the regular season on Sunday night.
Update: Jeremy Shockey and Amani Toomer have both been downgraded to doubtful this week and neither are expected to play.
The Cowboys ended their two game losing streak with a final scoring bomb to beat the Redskins last week. A win here just drops the team farther back in the NFL draft that they need to use for some more talent.
Quarterback: Vinny Testaverde threw the winning score last week but he is greeted with boos when he hits the field at Texas Stadium. He was back down to only one interception last week but it was in the endzone to kill a scoring drive.
The anticipated showing of Tony Romo never happened in the close game last week but could show up here if the game gets out of hand either way. The Cowboys need to see something from Romo now that they have a better handle on Drew Henson because Testaverde is talking about possibly retiring.
Running Backs: Julius Jones had 22 carries last week but only gained 57 yards against a tough Washington defense. He'll find the going easier this week and should post much better numbers. The Cowboys know they cannot run him 30 times a game every week and will likely get some help in the offseason, but for the finale, it should be mostly Jones running. Eddie George was active for the first time in three games last week but only had three meaningless carries. He's definitely gone after this week.
Wide Receivers: Keyshawn Johnson had 84 yards on nine catches last week and fills the role he was acquired to maintain - just possession catches and keeping the ball moving. Problem is that few others have stepped up to their expectations. Johnson only has six scores on the season though that is slightly higher than he typically has.
Patrick Crayton caught the winning touchdown last week but only saw action late in the game when the Redskins had lost both starting cornerbacks to injury. Quincy Morgan only had one catch for 7 yards. Not exactly the greatest trade in the history of the NFL when Antonio Bryant left.
Tight Ends: Jason Witten is winding down one of the best seasons ever by a Dallas tight end in franchise history. He has 79 catches for 903 yards and five scores going into this week.
Match Against the Defense: The Giants rush defense has actually gotten worse as the season progresses and last time these teams played there was no Julius Jones. Expect a good game from Jones against a defense that has allowed ten rushing scores in the last seven games.
The passing game as always should only prove moderate and could see Romo getting some time. Witten should have some average numbers here against the team that held him to 35 yards in the last meeting while Johnson scored the lone passing touchdown in the last meeting and is most likely to repeat.
The Giants have lost their last eight games though the last two losses were by three points or less. This is their final home game and the last chance to take any positives from the season.
Running Backs: Tiki Barber is winding up a career year and has a chance to break 1500 rushing yards this season with a 77+ yard performance this week. Barber had 122 yards rushing and one touchdown with 76 more yards receiving against the Cowboys back in week two.
Wide Receivers: Sad really. Amani Toomer had not topped 60 yards in any of the last six games though he had 66 yards against Dallas in week five when Warner was still playing. Ike Hilliard has not topped 60 yards in any game this entire season. The wideouts are not only worthless on this team (for fantasy purposes), it goes beyond merely Manning learning the ropes. The offensive scheme simply does not use them.
Tight Ends: Jeremy Shockey has six touchdowns on the year - a career best. He's also the only consistent target in the passing game but that usually stalls out around 50 yards each week.
Match Against the Defense: The Giants already beat the Cowboys earlier this season and will use much the same formula this time - heavy running by Barber with some good success. The Giants have no reliable players outside of Barber and Shockey though Manning should have a little better time this week if the New York winds don't get in the way.

Hi Brett, Thanks for the friend invite. Unfortunately I have been very time limited lately and haven't had a chance to game face to face much.
You should check out the North Texas Gamers.
Also since you are an ASL guy, you should check out:
They have a North Texas group that is really friendly.
Nice to meet you and I hope we can get together at some point for some gaming!

Cumbernauld Colts under-20s have won the Lowland League Development Cup after a thrilling 3-2 win over East Kilbride in the final at New Tinto Park on Friday night.
The youngsters' success seals a highly successful first season for Colts as a Lowland League club.
Watched by a healthy crowd inside the Benburb Juniors ground in Govan, the early exchanges were fairly even as both sides felt their way into the game.
Gradually the Cumbernauld youngsters started to win a few challenges in the midfield area and began to pass the ball well, creating a few half chances.
But they were dealt a blow in 18 minutes, arguably against the run of play, when a Jordan Craig free-kick held up in the wind, catching 'keeper Kenny Giles off guard, and EK striker Ryan McEwan slid the ball in from a tight angle.
Only a brilliant save by keeper Keane stopped Jordan Pirrie levelling the scores but Colts didn't have long to wait for the equaliser.
On 25 minutes Ryan Flannigan released Fraser Sheridan on the right and his cross was met by the on rushing Cammy McKay who slotted the ball home to the delight of his team mates.
Colts now had the upper hand and went ahead eight minutes from the break.
Once again Sheridan got away on the right and this time it was Pirrie who arrived in the box to knock the low cross in from eight yards.
After the break Colts pushed for a third and Sheridan missed a great chance before Blair Bateman had a volley well saved by Keane.
But EK hit back to draw level on 65 minutes when a Craig drive took a wicked deflection off Danny McAllistair's hip and wrong footed everyone, including Giles, to nestle in the net.
Once more the Colts youngsters brushed themselves down and came back at their opponents.
Conor McAteer replaced McKay, who had worked tirelessly up front, and his pace paid dividends 10 minutes from time when he used his pace to take the ball away from Keane who felled him in the box.
The referee pointed to the penalty spot and Sheridan kept his nerve with a firm penalty to put Colts back in front.
Inevitably East Kilbride threw everything at Colts in the dying moments and Dylan O'Hagan did well to stop an effort in front of the goal.
However, the night was to be Cumbernauld's and the referee's final whistle was met with great cheers from the Colts contingent in the crowd.

The Leibniz Association supports open, online, and barrier-free access to and exchange of research results. Fast and direct Open Access enhances research efficiency, promotes international and interdisciplinary cooperation, increases the visibility and citation frequency of publications, and maximises the benefits of publicly funded research.
As early as 2003, the Leibniz Association joined other large science organisations in co-signing the "Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities" and committed itself to actively supporting and promoting the idea of open access. Other important milestones in this process were the establishment of the Open Access Working Group in September of 2005, its first Guidelines on Open Access in 2007 and the current "Open Access Policy 2016-2020".
The policy is implemented through a variety of activities, in particular LeibnizOpen, the central Open Access portal of all Leibniz institutions, founded in 2011 and providing optimum visibility for Leibniz research publications across all scientific disciplines. With LeibnizOpen, the Leibniz Association wants to maximise the number of publications that are freely available online as full texts, thus making the collective research output of Leibniz institutions optimally visible, searchable, and permanently available.
The Leibniz Association promotes Open Access in the political arena, too, e.g. by joining other science organisations in the Alliance initiative "Digital Information".
Moreover, many Leibniz institutions act as co-editors or service providers for open-access specialist publications, or operate specialist repositories that make specialist literature openly available online.
You can find a list of the open access publications of individual Leibniz institutions in the column on the right.
