Coconut Oil has been a beauty staple for millennia. It is a powerful destroyer of all kinds of microbes, from viruses to bacteria to protozoa.

Our belief is that proper communication in a fun and consistent manner is the key to successful obedience training and behavior refinement.

You might not know that one third of our life is spent in sleeping. Yes, that is quite a lot. Sleeping 1-3rd!!!!!! That is too much. However, did we ever pay attention to our health or body while we are sleeping? Well, most of us do not consider "Right Sleeping" important and right sleeping means the right mattress and right posture.

Livening up your closet doesn't mean you have to feel guilty about utilizing the planet's resources. Here are a few ways to incorporate sustainability into your closet.
Natural Fibers
It used to be that natural fibers were synonymous with itchy and uncomfortable. That is no longer the case. Clothing made with fibers such as silk, organic cotton and bamboo is created to feel smooth and allow for breathability. Tightly woven pieces are soft against the skin and aren't clingy. Natural fibers are unprocessed and can be created without the use of toxins and chemicals. They are light in weight and can be used for any article of clothing. Natural fibers are also a win due to being biodegradable.
Second Hand
What better way to give a piece of clothing long lasting life than use it again and again? Skip the mall and check out your local thrift stores. You may be surprised at treasures hidden amongst the racks. Find a few pieces to add to your closet that have been gently used and you can rest assured that you are not causing new resources to be used for your wardrobe. Not only are you giving pieces a second life, but the prices you encounter at a second hand store can grant you the option of buying twice as much as your budget may have allowed otherwise.
Find a bunch of cool old ties but don't know what use they could possibly have? Break out the sewing machine and stitch them together lengthwise to create a fantastically unique A-line skirt. Have a hole in the knee of an old pair of jeans? Pull out the inner seams and make a denim skirt. Hang on to your favorite items long after they've outlived their current use by upcycling them into a new article of clothing.
Recycled Materials
You may be surprised to learn that natural fibers aren't the only material that can be utilized to create sustainable clothing. Materials such as plastic bottles can be recycled into fabric, as well. In fact, one company removes labels and caps from bottles, breaks them down into flakes, melts those flakes into pellets, and then heats it in yet another way to create a fiber. This fiber undergoes a variety of stretching and crimping processes to create fabric used for clothing. Recycled clothing can be extremely stylish too! Check out the recycled pants by Teeki on St. Bernard Sports.
Eco-Responsible Manufacturing
Keep abreast of how your wardrobe comes to be in the first place. Check out manufactures that create brands you are drawn to and verify that they utilize earth-friendly practices. Researching online can often turn up questionable practices that are a little less than stellar for the environment. If you find the company doesn't make the grade, consider engaging in an e-mail campaign to let them know that eco-responsible manufacturing is important to you as a consumer.
Keeping sustainable measures in mind while you shop may seem difficult at first, but it can quickly become second nature. Follow these tips and you can wear your new (or new to you) duds knowing you had minimal impact on the earth.
City apartments come in many different styles, and some lend themselves to one particular type of interior design rather than another. A studio apartment, for example, may suit the professional bachelor, while a large apartment complete with original features might be the choice of a family that appreciates traditional design.
A traditional style of furnishing has undeniable elegance and will make your apartment welcoming and inspiring. To achieve a traditional look, you will need vintage rather than modern furniture, such as a Chesterfield sofa for your seating area, an iron bedstead for your bedroom, and a bureau or leather-topped desk for your workspace. To avoid a cluttered look, keep the walls light with a subtly-patterned wallpaper or cream paint.
Living in a tiny space
Many of us who have to live in a small space still want to be able to say they have a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, and maybe even a dining room. However, many apartments these days are open-plan, so if you want different areas, you will need to make zones. You can do this by hanging curtains and screens, or even pieces of storage furniture, such as bookcases, to serve as room dividers.
You can also invest in modern furniture that has been specifically designed to capitalize on space. For example, if you only have one room, you can buy a pull-down bed that closes up to the wall when not in use – these come in a variety of sizes, from singles up to king-size. Drop-leaf tables that can be put up when needed are also a good choice for space-challenged apartments.
Airy and spacious
Other people may have airy and spacious apartments, but how do you make such a big space feel warm and welcoming? The first thing to do is dress the windows in an attractive manner to draw the eye to them and to warm the space up. Blinds are always a good choice and can be hung on their own or teamed with side drapes to create more of a feature.
If you have a lot of floor space, you should opt for larger furniture to fill it up. This is easily achieved with seating as there are plenty of sofas available that offer space for four people or more. It can also be a good choice to buy a sofa that has a chaise longue element to it. This not only gives another seating option but also gives a sofa a more interesting shape and can be used to zone a room.
If your large apartment is a converted industrial space, you could decorate it in the same theme, using industrial-style pendant lighting and wooden and metal furniture – the perfect choice for the urban dweller.
Whatever the size of your apartment, you should ultimately furnish it in a way that makes you feel comfortable and that you can live in, rather than focusing on a definite style that looks good but is less than welcoming.

"Spread the Seeds of Love" –MSI Volunteers Received Basic Training
A small seed that loves its family
It kisses the aroma of soil and embraces rain and sunshine
A small seed with tender buds
The earth nurtures it with love, flowers and butterflies accompany its growth
A small seed is growing. A small dream is flying in the sky
It flies across rivers and mountains, it flies across the blue sky and ocean
Gratitude from the bottom of heart
A small seed is growing. A small dream is flying in the sky
It flies across rivers and mountains, it flies across the blue sky and ocean
Happiness from the bottom of heart
The MSI volunteers swung their bodies and waved their hands interjected with some dance steps following the moves of the instructor on the platform. They were a tad stiff at the beginning as they tried to pick up all the moves. But after repeated exercise, most of them could hum the music while following every step of the instructor.
|Swing their bodies along with the music – the jolly good time is plain on their faces
A little girl on crutches stepped forward with her egret like thin left leg. After tremendous effort, she finally made a step and then quiveringly stretched out her right leg to take another step. Such simple movement took her considerable amount of time. Maybe because her legs were too thin, maybe because the movement was simply too strenuous for her, tears kept running down her face and she kept on yelling: "I don't want to continue! I don't, I don't…" while she tried to step forward. Close to 30 viewers stared at the screen attentively. Although all the lights were turned off, you could still see with the faint light from the projector that a MSI volunteer was quietly passing out tissue paper to others
|Instructor Yeh Chun-Shiu from Xiangshan Gospel Center shared her volunteer work experience
|Director Su Chen-Chen from Eden Social Welfare Foundation explained the content and spirit of volunteer service regulations
"…… my family was poor when I was little. My uncle would visit us from time to time and "by the way" brought with him some daily necessities such as rice and cooking oil or candies and cookies that we kids liked. After I grew up, I realize the tremendous thoughtfulness my uncle put into "by the way" bringing us those things. He said so he could help us without hurting our feelings or pride. This is why I join the company volunteer group. Aside from showing my appreciation to my uncle's care for us, I wish to help people who need help to the best of my ability and pass on such spirit. I like to relay the warmth I have felt to other people in the society who need it."
|Volunteers shared the wonderful experience of helping others and being helped
These were the little episodes of what happened in the MSI training class on April 24 and May 1, 2010. Twenty-five MSI employees attended altogether 12 hours of training in two consecutive weeks. What kind of training curriculum would include singing, dancing, film watching, and sharing of touching stories?
With the avid support of the company, we founded the MSI Charity Volunteer Corps in 2009 and carried out the first computer teaching project targeting aboriginal children in Xindian district. After the end of the project, volunteers chanted "Encore", "One more time." Under the strong advocacy efforts and invitation of the "seasoned" volunteers, many "non-volunteers" decided to join the rank. The size of the MSI Volunteer Corps grew rapidly.
In light of the warm reverberation and response to the volunteer program, we decided to delve deeper into volunteer work and embark on more public welfare activities. Thus we invited social welfare groups, including Eden Social Welfare Foundation and Xiang Shan Gospel Group to provide us with basic volunteer training in the hope we would conduct volunteer work with more professional spirit and attitude. On the other hand, we hope we could continue to learn and grow from the experience of helping others.
|Write down word by word the experience of others
|Simulation of possible scenarios
After 12 hours of training classes in two days, we learned about the professional knowledge of volunteer service, we experienced first-hand the inconvenience encountered by the handicapped people, we absorbed the life experience of others, and we shared the wonderful experience of helping others and being helped. More importantly, we become acutely aware how fortunate and how blessed we are.
|Experience the inconvenience encountered by the handicapped people in games
Every person has a seed of kindness in his/her heart. Some seeds need sunshine; some seeds need rainwater; some seeds need time; and some need sparks to grow. We admonish ourselves to be the sunshine or rainwater for others, or the spark that ignite that seeds in the hearts of others to let the spirit of helping others and assisting others be passed on. Master Zen Yen says: "There are two things that cannot wait in this world. One is fulfilling filial duties to your parents and the other is doing good deeds." Let us start in small places, let us show care for others and let us help others TODAY and NOW.
|Helping others makes us laugh heartily

Smoked Strip Steaks
Strip steaks offer a lot of surface area relative to their total size, which allows them to absorb a maximum amount of smoke. Serve thin slices of the steak over rice pilaf.
How to Make It
Soak wood chips in water 30 minutes; drain.
Combine pepper, garlic powder, salt, and mustard, and rub evenly over both sides of steaks. Place coated steaks in a large zip-top plastic bag; add Worcestershire sauce. Seal and shake to coat. Marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes.
Prepare grill for indirect grilling, heating one side to low and leaving one side with no heat. Maintain temperature at 200° to 225°.
Heat a large, heavy skillet over high heat. Remove steaks from bag, and discard marinade. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add steaks to pan; cook 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove from pan.
Place wood chips on hot coals. Place a disposable aluminum foil pan on unheated side of grill. Pour 2 cups water in pan. Coat the grill rack with cooking spray, and place on grill. Place steaks on grill rack over foil pan on unheated side. Close lid; cook 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into steak registers 145° (medium-rare) or until desired degree of doneness.

Junot Diaz Quotes About HurtQuotes about: Hurt
We're on speaking terms today. I say, Maybe we should hang out with the boys, and you shake your head. I want to spend time with you, you say. If we're still good, next week maybe. That's the most we can hope for. Nothing thrown, nothing said that we might remember for years. You watch me while you put a brush through your hair. Each strand that breaks is as long as my arm. You don't want to let go, but don't want to be hurt, either. It's not a great place to be but what can I tell you?
On the outside, Oscar simply looked tired, no taller, no fatter, only the skin under his eyes, pouched from years of quiet desperation, had changed. Inside, he was in a world of hurt. He saw black flashes before his eyes. He saw himself falling through the air. He knew what he was turning into. He was turning into the worst kind of human on the planet: an old bitter dork. Saw himself at the Game Room, picking through the miniatures for the rest of his life. He didn't want this future but he couldn't see how it could be avoided, couldn't figure his way out of it. Fukú.
You can't find intimacy - you can't find home - when you're always hiding behind masks. Intimacy requires a certain level of vulnerability. It requires a certain level of you exposing your fragmented, contradictory self to someone else. You running the risk of having your core self rejected and hurt and misunderstood.

Dear Dr. Smith
Dear Dr. Smith
I am in love with a young lady but married another because I felt the one I was in love with did not love me. My wife and I are now getting a divorce because she is pretentious and unreal. Can I marry the woman I am truly in love with if she will have me?
Dear In-Love with the Wrong Person,
Yes you can marry her as long as your divorce is on Biblical grounds. Divorce in the church is becoming so prevalent these day that we sometimes forget that there are biblical guidelines for divorce and re-marriage. If the divorce you are getting is not on biblical grounds, then you better think twice before re-marriage.
Kindly remember that your first marriage is still endorsed by God, and that not every divorce is a divorce in the eyes of God. (See Lk 16:18; Mark 10:11). It seems to me that the emotional distraction you had with your first love has led to the demise of your true marriage. Anyway, before you act so quickly, kindly answer the following questions.
1. Were you in contact with the young lady you are in love with anytime during your marriage?
2. If the one you loved then did not love you, why do you think she will love you now?
3. The last time I checked, being pretentious and unreal were not grounds for divorce, where did you get this idea from?
4. Did you seek professional marital therapy for your marriage?
5. Isn't it strange that you are thinking about re-marriage even before you get a divorce?
6. You described your wife as pretentious, and you asked me if you can marry the woman you are truly in love with, what adjective(s) then, would you use to describe yourself, having married someone you fooled into thinking that you loved them supremely?
I pray that you will reconsider your desire for a divorce and will seek marriage counseling instead. Remember, the grass is not always greener on the other side and what goes around comes around.
God bless.
Dr. Smith

And Now, Back To the Showon January 4th, 2011
Salutations and greetings, Recyclables. (Remember, that's what B_B and I call you guys. It's funny because you guys are totally plastic, just like the tagline for the site! We're so clever that sometimes I weep for everybody else's IQ scores.)
Several things need attention by one of the Distributors of Awesome (Read: B_B or Myself).
First of all, I am under the impression that it is customary for a proprietor of a site to wish his or her readers a collective happy New Year/Christmas/Hanukkah/ Kwanzaa. Well, you'll get a Happy New Year, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy Hanukkah out of me. You will not hear me say "Happy Kwanzaa", because nobody knows what the hell Kwanzaa is. I've got a whole bunch of friends, black, white, oriental, Hindi, A-rab- welsh, for crap's sake- and none of them know what Kwanzaa is. So you know what? It isn't real. So Happy Everything-But-Kwanzaa-Because-It-Was-Made-Up-By-Black-Folks-To-Confound-The-White-Man. (At least, that's the best reasoning I can find there).
Anyway, how was your Holiday season? I got me a scarf. I told my sister, I was like, "Get me a scarf," and she totally got me a scarf. That, right there, is money.
The rest of my season was peppered with ridiculous situations that you cannot make up- my mother backing into my future brother-in-law's mother's car, my sister telling the family "Oh, by the way, I'm havin' me a baby,", and countless arguments, shouting matches and fist fights (for flavor). Lucky for me that I barely drink anymore- I think between Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve, I only had two glasses of scotch, and nothing else (because you can't beat scotch, damn it, I don't care who you are)- otherwise, I would have been completely hammered for the past month and a half. And people wonder why I'm a cynic.
Thus brings me to the second point: B_B and I are, like, really sorry for being away for weeks/months.
You see, B_B's inspiration for these comics is his own misery, and unfortunately for me and you, the Recyclables, he was happy for a few weeks. I don't know what the hell his problem was. I wrote him a ton of dynamite comics- really, crowd pleasers all- but he wouldn't draw me any pictures! I was like, "Dude, can you draw me some pictures?" And he was like, "No." What a dick, right? Just because it only takes me about four minutes to write a comic or twenty to write a fifteen-hundred word blog post doesn't mean that B_B has a tougher job than I do, right? I mean, I'm handing him gold, and he won't even make me a frigging coin.
Luckily for us, though, he's all melancholy again, so now you see a comic before you. I mean, crap, dude. I would have, hell, I don't know, shot a kitten in front of him or something if I knew that's all it took. So I'm sorry I failed you, Recyclables, for neglecting to make B_B disconsolate.
As for me, I actually have something of an excuse for not putting up some prose for you punks to read in between porn videos (that's right, Paul, I know what you're watching, you filthy little punk). It's not really huge, and it only really covers up until last week, but still.
I was doing a metric crapload of thesis work this semester. I gathered source data like you wouldn't believe. Hell, I found a working time machine, and went back just to have a conversation with freaking Saladin for this thing. That last part isn't true. Regardless, the point is that I had a lot of work to do this semester, involving reading primary source material en Francais, sans sous-titres d'Anglais. That's right, ladies, je parle Francais, putain. Not just modern day French, either- I had to translate that from circa twelve hundred AD. You know how a lot of people have trouble with Shakespearean English? Imagine how much more difficult it would be if it was in French, and you're halfway to the difficulties that I had.
So yeah, I had a lot on my plate.
But wait, there's more! No, you won't get a Slap Chop for reading, but I'm going to write anyway, so, you know, whatever. As some of you may know, I wrote a book from this time last year until early July. I finished that draft, and did another two by August. Well, I then started the process of the final-final draft. I gave copies to a few people, let them read it, and then took their advice. I began this last draft before I seek publication a week and a half ago.
I have so many things to change in this story it isn't even funny. I'm changing ages of characters, which has ripple effects like you wouldn't believe, I'm rewriting the first five chapters completely, I'm removing a character- and that's just the major stuff. I'm also rereading the entire book for grammar, spelling, and stylistic changes. The current draft- the third, that is- clocks in at just under 127,000 words. My goal is to pare it down to 115,000- something indescribably difficult. It's like cutting fat off of my child because he's got a weight problem. So that's what I'm working on.
Basically, I removed any chance of having a life for the next month or so.
Still, I thought I should bring these things to your attention, that you might understand our unannounced absence. We're back now, sort of- I'll be posting in between reading and editing, and B_B will be drawing pictures as often as he can. There's still no schedule, but hopefully we'll be up to fifty comics by Valentine's Day. That'd be pretty cool.
Anyway, I'll see you punks later.

Our Work
From inner-city communities in the U.S. to rural villages in Togo, the Chalmers Center is equipping churches to walk alongside people who are poor, breaking the spiritual, social, and material bonds of poverty. Learn more about our work redefining poverty through When Helping Hurts, our financial education programs in the U.S. and Canada, and our savings group ministries in the Majority World.
All of our church-equipping work is built on four components:
- We Listen: We aim to keep our finger on the pulse of the local church and the leading research on poverty.
- We Create: We design practical resources the local church can use to address the brokenness that leads to poverty.
- We Call: We encourage the local church to be a place where people of all income levels encounter Jesus' transformative power together, seeing the image of God in one another more clearly.
- We Mobilize: Using our resources and tools, churches gain both the confidence and skills to walk alongside people who are poor, breaking the spiritual, social, and material bonds of poverty.
As a result, churches model Jesus' heart for the poor in practical ways, showing His care and power over every part of life.

Mother's Day in South Africa
In South Africa, Mothers Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in the month of May.

Mary J. Blige's Estranged Husband Requesting Six-Figures Per Month In Alimony!!
Mary J. Blige's estranged husband wants her to pay up!!
Martin "Kendu" Isaacs is requesting a six-figure amount per month in spousal support in his ongoing divorce from the R&B icon. According to TMZ:
Martin Isaacs filed for temporary spousal support, and according to the docs — obtained by TMZ — he thinks $129,319 per month is a nice, round number. His argument is simple — Mary was the breadwinner during their 12-year marriage and got him used to their lavish lifestyle.
As we previously reported, Mary pulled the plug on her union with Kendu over the summer on the grounds of "irreconcilable differences." In her divorce filing, the 45-year-old asked the judge to block Kendu's ability to get spousal support. Although Mary once sang about "No More Drama", it looks like the drama has just begun as she and Kendu duke it out over money.

Pope Francis has positioned himself as the enemy of the American right-wing with his talk of economic inequality, global warming, his tepid welcoming of gay people, and his olive branch to Muslims worldwide.
Given how quickly hes fallen out of favor with the religious right, is it any wonder that Rapture-watchers are now asking whether Pope Francis is the Antichrist. In fact, the question is so pressing that The Drudge Report explored it on Wednesday, pondering in a headline if the Pope was the Antichrist.
The spirit of the antichrist
Antichrist appears exactly five times in the Bible, and all of them are in John.
The first time, in 1 John 2:18, the name appears as a warning against people who deny Christ:
Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.
Its worth noting that people have been writing commentary about the Gospel of John since the 3rd century of the common era. This is a long hour.
It appears several other times throughout 1 John (2:22, 4:3) and 2 John (1:7), all of them warning about individuals who would deny the divinity of Christ. Nowhere in John does it suggest the antichrist is a single individual; in fact, 1 John 2:18 even says that there have been multiple antichrists (see above).
This is because antichrist is not a proper noun; its a general noun, like anti-discrimination, anti-hate, anti-bigotry, or Antisemitism.
So already The Drudge Report is off to a bad start, but it gets even worse: theres a long history of bloody violence between Catholicism and Protestantism, and Protestants throughout history have made it a hobby of accusing the Pope of being the Antichrist. Its anti-Catholicism in its purest form, a phenomenon deeply rooted in the American religious right.
That the Drudge Report would indulge in this ancient blood feud shouldnt surprise anyone. In their piece, the report links to a Charisma News article that explains Why So Many People Think Pope Francis Is the Antichrist. The answer is because theyre Biblical illiterates, but the post asks whether Francis role as the Antichrist is symbolic of the toxic End of Days theology and the second coming of Christ:
If you type is Pope Francis antichrist into Google, youll get about 425,000 results in .37 seconds. By way of comparison, if you ask Google the same question about Pope Benedict you only get 137,000 and it takes a little longer.47 seconds.
Well, that settles it. Google is never wrong.
The Charisma News piece also cites a Gallup poll from earlier in July that found the Popes popularity has taken a nosedive among conservatives.
Also on the list of evidence convincing people that the Pope is the Antichrist is that the Pope has warmed up to Islam.
The author, Jennifer LeClaire, concludes by citing chatter, and asking if the Popes presence predicts the final days before the mythical and eternally delayed Rapture (its easier to get a flight from LaGuardia Airport that it is Jesus Airlines, clearly):
Could Francis be the final pope before Christs return? Could he be the Antichrist? Is he the False Prophet? The chatter continues.
Heres what we know: More than 50 years ago, a Jesuit priest predicted the resignation of Pope Benedictto the dayand now Tom Horn, who worked with Cris Putnam to unveil a 900-year-old prophecy buried in the library at the Vatican that describes a series of 112 popes, and others are looking at his research. Was he divinely inspired? Was he demonically inspired? Horn asks. Because we know demons know things about times and dispensations, too.
These are strange days in which we live. How do you feel about the Popes stand on homosexuality, Islam, capitalism and the New World Order?
The answer, of course, is no. Theres no such thing as the end of days, the Rapture, or the antichrist. But people will believe anyway, because they want the easy way out.

On the eve of a, yeah, decently sized draft for the transitioning Seahawks, I've updated our News Tribune mock of Thursday's first round.
I still have Seattle drafting 24-year-old Utah offensive tackle Garett Bolles, the most athletic tackle coming out of college who has a remarkable back story. I wrote about it in Wednesday's TNT. That pick is contingent on the New York Giants, Denver Broncos or other teams selecting ahead of the Seahawks in round one not taking Bolles.
If Bolles isn't there at 26, sensing it will be Kevin King. His 6-foot-3 size and press coverage fit what Seattle's defense does, and there is a starting cornerback job waiting to be had with the Seahawks.
Let's also not discount the possibility Seahawks general manager John Schneider trades down from 26, to get more picks in the middle of this draft. Seattle has five picks in the first 106 selections, but none in rounds four or five and only seven overall. That's the fewest since Schneider and coach Pete Carroll took over the franchise in 2010.
League-wide, starting to sense that Jacksonville has been so linked to LSU running back Leonard Fournette that it's become a smoke screen, and that former Giants coach Tom Coughlin, who returns to the Jaguars to run that team, will stay true to his love of toughness along the line and chose Alabama's premier defensive tackle Jonathan Allen. That would push Fournette to the Carolina at No. 8 -- and Christian McCaffrey, the runner/pass catcher supreme from Stanford, down to 19 to needy Tampa Bay.
I see Cleveland, with 11 picks including four in the first two rounds, getting yet another new quarterback -- but not hometown guy Mitch Trubisky. He'll go to the Jets at six; though I'm still wondering how Trubisky became the top quarterback prospect after just 13 college starts at North Carolina. Deshaun Watson to the Browns at 12. Then Bruce Arians gets a gunslinger wild card as the potential replacement for 75-year-old quarterback Carson Palmer next year.
If the Seahawks take Bolles, I still see King going in the first round -- to the Steelers late. Pittsburgh's pass defense is its biggest liability.
We'll see beginning at 5 p.m. Thursday. Join colleagues Dave Boling, T.J. Cotterill, Kenny Via and me for our TNT live draft chat from Seahawks' headquarters in Renton starting at 4:30 p.m. here at thenewstribune.com/sports.
1. Cleveland: Myles Garrett, edge rusher, Texas A&M
Draft's best player goes to league's worst team
2. San Francisco: Solomon Thomas, edge rusher, Stanford
Top 2 are pass rushers in league that covets them
3. Chicago: Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State
Yes, hamstring issues. Best he's the best at another premium position
4. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jonathan Allen, DT, Alabama
Fournette was a smokescreen. Tom Coughlin now running Jags, wants tough linemen
5. Tennessee Titans: Jamal Adams, S, LSU
Big, fast, versatile and rare in the middle of any secondary
6. New York Jets: Mitchell Trubinsky, QB, North Carolina
Either him or DeShaun Watson for team still stung for drafting Geno Smith
7. San Diego Chargers: Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State
Draft's No. 2 safety for team desperate for DB help
8. Carolina Panthers: Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU
Would have taken McCaffrey. Could go OT to help Cam Newton
9. Cincinnati Bengals: Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama
They often trade up. If not, big help for a black-hole position
10. Buffalo Bills: John Ross, WR, Washington
Western Michigan's Corey Davis better? He didn't run a 4.2 40
11. New Orleans Saints: Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee
Perenially defense-needy Saints can't believe top pass rusher's still available
12. Cleveland: Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson
Would have picked hometown guy Trubinsky. Take national-title winner
13. Arizona Cardinals: Patrick Mahomes, QB, Texas Tech
Gunslinger. Arians: a rookie QB may get midweek prep for Carson Palmer retiring
14. Philadelphia Eagles: Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan
Would have loved Ross. "Settles" for polished, all-round WR
15. Indianapolis: Haason Reddick, LB, Temple
A rising star. And Colts have a need for defensive speed
16. Baltimore Ravens: O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama
Christmas in April for Ravens. Top TE still there
17. Washington Redskins: Takarrist McKinley, DE, UCLA
Injury concerns. No concerns with how fast he can be off edge
18. Tennessee Titans: David Njoku, TE, Miami
After defense earlier, Titans get QB Marcus Mariota an athletic playmaker
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford
In wake of Doug Martin's suspension, a dynamic, run/catch replacement
20. Denver Broncos: Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama
Need an OT as much as Seahawks. Just a question of whom they see as best one
21. Detroit Lions: Charles Harris, OLB, Missouri
DET looked slow on defense in Jan. playoffs in SEA. Harris is not slow
22. Miami Dolphins: Forrest Lamp, G, Western Kentucky
Played tackle in college. Could go CB here
23. New York Giants: Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin
Outland Trophy winner to another OL-desperate team—for Eli Manning
24. Oakland Raiders: Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State
Vehemently denies incident in Cleveland last weekend. Another supreme cover man
25. Houston Texans: Mike Williams, WR, Clemson
Now if they could only find a QB to throw to him
26. SEAHAWKS: Garret Bolles, OT, Utah
Most athletic tackle, OL coach Cable reportedly was at Utah last weekend
27. Kansas City Chiefs: Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama
Teamed with Marcus Peters=KC stacked at corner
28. Dallas Cowboys: Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU
A run on CBs, to a team that needs one. Or three
29. Green Bay Packers: T.J. Watt, OLB, Wisconsin
J.J.'s brother makes so much sense here it probably won't happen
30. Pittsburgh Steelers: Kevin King, CB, Washington
Mike Tomlin wants—needs—pass rushers. But needs cover guys more
31: Atlanta Falcons: Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan
Dan Quinn is from Pete Carroll school: never enough big edge rushers
32: New Orleans Saints: Jabrill Peppers, S, Michigan
Saints still need more defense, get a dynamic hybrid
As for the later rounds...
Speaking of local, here is Tacoma's NFL draft expert Rob Rang from cbssports.com with his mock first round. He has Seattle selecting Connecticut's freakishly athletic safety Obi Melifonwu, with Bolles gone by then to the Giants at 23 and UW safety Budda Baker going 31st overall to Atlanta.
