Part 2 … Here are the highlights from the rest of my conversation with general manager Reggie McKenzie today:
^ New quarterback Matt Schaub was scheduled to make $10 million in 2014, but restructured his deal, lowering his salary-cap number to $7.5 million. He can now earn between $15-21 million the next two years, showing McKenzie sees him as more than a one-year fill-in.
"We're not looking for stop gaps," McKenzie said. "The young guys can see we're serious about winning."
^ McKenzie and the Raiders staff watched every throw Schaub had in Houston last season, and here's what they saw:
"The guy can play," McKenzie said. "He's done it year in and year out. I mean, he had some really good years in Houston, took them to the playoffs. The guy can throw the ball. You just look at the tape and you see the talent.
"He had some good plays last year. Take away some of the bad throws, and he looked alright. Things just didn't go right with that whole team. And then players, Matt included, started to press and things got worse.
"We watched every game, and his struggles last year didn't deter us."
^ As far as Austin Howard's move from tackle to guard, that was offensive line coach Tony Sparano's idea from their time together on Jets.
McKenzie: "Tony Sparano knows (Howard) well. We preach versatility to everybody on the team, You may need to move at some point."
^ Howard's move also puts last year's second-round pick, Menelik Watson, at right tackle. "Let's keep him healthy and see what happens," McKenzie said. "We like Menelik."
^ The plan for returning starter Mike Brisiel is to get bigger in offseason and compete with recent addition Kevin Boothe and Khalif Barnes at left guard.
McKenzie on the offensive line: "We've got some guys now, some serious guys. Let's complete, the best man wins the job and we hit the ground running when the season starts."
^ McKenzie said Raiders won't pass on a left tackle or a quarterback just because of their recent moves. "You don't reach down to grab a position of need," he said. "Get the best player."
^ Oh, I didn't ask about Richie Incognito. He's a bad fit with the culture and chemistry that McKenzie is trying to build. And that was before he signed four offensive linemen recently.
^ The Raiders' traveling trio of Dennis Allen, Greg Olson and John DeFilippo is hitting Johnny Manziel's pro day on Thursday …
And don't take pro days so seriously.
"Pro days can only help you, they can't hurt you," McKenzie said. "College game tape is where the answers are."

The annual Blue River Rescue event successfully cleaned up approximately 100 tons of trash along its banks. Each year the NNSA and Honeywell join hundreds of business and residential volunteers to help pick up trash and plant trees during the largest one-day stream clean-up in Missouri. The effort calls on community volunteers to be environmental stewards of a 22-mile stretch of land that surrounds the waterway which flows near Kansas City Plant.

This is another great activity from the book An American Methodology by Ann Eisen and Lamar Robertson.
King of the Mountain: the students number off and sit in a circle, each with a rhythm card in front of them. Prepare the game as follows:
a) going around the circle and beginning with the first student, each student takes a turn clapping and saying their card.
b) repeat a) but when the students are not clapping a card they tap a steady beat on their knees while another student claps a card.
c) the first student claps her card and then the card of the person to her right. The second student claps his card and the one to his right. Continue around the circle while everyone else keeps a beat on their knees.
The game: the first student claps her card and then, anyone else's card in the circle. When a rhythm is clapped incorrectly or is not clapped on the beat, the student falls off the mountain and moves to the left of the King of the Mountain which is, actually, last place.
Have you played this game? I'm going to try it this week. It looks like something that my students will love after taking the FCAT all morning.

Round nine of the 2016 Dooley's Ultimate Basketball League (UBL) competition saw many short-handed player rosters in action, with several players drawn away for a national three-on-three contest.
Those absentees could not however dampen the strong 127-79 win by reigning premiers the Sydney City Cobras over this season's early front runners, the Western Sydney Vikings.
Five players on the Cobras roster hit double-doubles in the high-scoring win, with two of those players just missing triple-doubles.
German national league forward Paul Brotherson led the Cobras with 38 points and 12 boards, ahead of former Bathurst Goldminers Youth League centre Sam McCorkindale with 34 points and 16 boards.
The Parramatta Wildcats were one of the teams left short-handed on the day but did just enough to defeat the ever-improving St George Saints 83-74, led by Sam Gyimah with 22 points, Daniel Briggs 21 and Kyron Ili and Jamie Newth scoring 18 points apiece.
The Norwest Giants finally broke through for their first win of the season, defeating a courageous Central Bulls 112-96, in spite of a last quarter surge from the Bulls.
Harman Josan led the Giants with 33 points and 27 boards, ahead of Daniel Eyre-Thompson with 25 points and boards and Pratik Kesdar with 25 points.
The final game of the day saw the Sydney Warriors return to winning form, behind the hot shooting of Lachlan Barker (29 points) and Sydney Kings development player Tony Tolovae (26).
This weekend's best games appear to be on early, with the Giants facing the Warriors at 1pm and the Wildcats taking on the might of the Cobras at 2.45pm.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Tennessee Titans and NFL Talk' started by ColtKiller, Mar 13, 2013.
All I noticed was lil ass KW making a good block on the CB...
Well Cook is in there sealing off the right side for CJ to run right underneath him
Lol naw bro I know. But cook is no longer a Titan so I didn't bother. I liked that KW was getting his hand dirty tho.
But Cook is pretty crappy blocker even I'll admit that, he whiffs all the time on LB's, in the Miami game CJ was running a counter, Cook was on the backside of the play and he just falls over once the LB looks at him LOL, saddest thing ever, but hey, Cook is a WR now so whatevs
Lol I wish I could see a cut up of that. I saw cook whiff some bad blocks, and I think we are moving to a run first O again so that's not acceptable.
Hey Jared, what in the world you doing?
Amazing TE. He KILLED Casper on that play. Text book chop block.
The turf monster got him on that one LMAO
Cook played TE all through college in a pro style offense and has been in the NFL 4 years. Pretty sad if a mid round rookie who was a DE in college is a better blocker.
The VY Raiders thread too.

Helping our farmer-members adapt to changing environmental conditions is an important part of GFO's strategic plan. Many of our research priorities are tailored to providing practical solutions for our farmer membership including identifying new environmental threats, improving farming practices, and introducing hardier seed varieties.
We encourage the Ontario government to continue to invest in research and innovation as part of the Climate Change strategy, as we believe this is an area where progress has been made, and can continue to be made, to address both adaptation and mitigation. It will be important as Ontario develops its Climate Change policy to consider the advancements made by individual grain and oilseed farmers when determining base-line benchmark data.
Read Grain Farmers of Ontario's climate change submission (March 27, 2015).
Grain Farmers of Ontario supports the need to protect and restore the ecological health of the Great Lakes and is committed to being a part of the solution to ensuring the Great Lakes remain "drinkable, swimmable and fishable." We recognize the importance of environmental stewardship and our role in ensuring the proper use of fertilizer and that is why we have partnered with the Ontario government, the Canadian Fertilizer Institute and the Ontario Agri-Business Association on introducing a Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) on 4R Nutrient Stewardship. The MOC will look at a voluntary program to increase the efficient use of fertilizer and contribute to the goals of the Water Quality Agreement.

Mike Haywood: One Notre Dame Fan's Thoughts
With thanks to MUDawgFan, we have received the following thoughts on Mike Haywood from the founder and writer of the Notre Dame blog, Blue Gray Sky. Here are his insights:
I imagine the first response from many Miami fans is why they hired a new head coach who recently had his offensive coordinator duties yanked by Coach Weis. Well, to be completely honest, Haywood's playcalling wasn't stellar during the early part of the season. On the other hand, it was his first year calling plays and it's not like the offense suddenly took off when Charlie resumed play-calling (ND was shut out by BC the first game Charlie took back play-calling). The issues with ND's offense the past two seasons goes far beyond Haywood's playcalling in my opinion. And given that Haywood's not going to be calling plays for Miami (I'm guessing), I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about why Charlie took playcalling back. As we're learning with Charlie Weis, a track record as a star offensive coordinator doesn't mean a guy will automatically be a great head coach. Likewise, Haywood's short stint as ND's playcaller shouldn't mean much with regards to his ability to run and manage a program. (Of course, hiring an experienced OC would be a great first move for him)
Haywood's strengths are that the players all really seem to like him. He comes off a bit dry on the interviews, but during the practice clips when he's around the team he's much more animated. I don't know if he'll keep up the same approach now that he's the head coach though or let the assistants play the "player's coach" role. I do know that the past few years he's seen Charlie Weis make plenty of rookie head coaching mistakes, so hopefully for your sake he was paying attention. Working under Nick Saban and Mack Brown certainly can't hurt either.
As for offense, ND's offense was 100% Charlie's even with Haywood being the OC. I imagine some sort of pro-style offense is what he'll wind up fielding, but that's just a guess based on what he's worked under at ND, Texas, and LSU. His OC hire will likely be a bigger clue than whatever happened at ND. I do think that he likes running the ball more than the pass happy offense ND has fielded under Weis. Of course, as the running backs coach (he did a great job here) he also probably wanted to see his guys do more than pass block.
Switching to recruiting, we all thought his recruiting coordinator position at Texas was a clue that he was a dynamite recruiter. That isn't really the case though. He was never ND's top recruiter in terms of walking into living rooms and wooing recruits and parents alike. His RC experience at Texas seemed to be more related to running a recruiting operation and all of the organization and logistics that go with that. That's doesn't sound as exciting as getting a pure salesmen, but you need both to successfully recruit, especially in talent rich state like Ohio that so many other programs like to cherry-pick. ND has really been ahead of the curve lately in terms of identifying junior recruits and getting early interest and I think Haywood played a role in that. You can always hire a top recruiter for an assistant position to help close the deal once you've identified your top targets.
Despite becoming something of a scapegoat for ND fans, I still like Haywood and think he'll be a pretty solid head coach for Miami. He's a very hard worker, the players like and respect him, and he's coached under some very successful and demanding coaches. He's spent time coaching at various positions on both sides of the ball during his 20+ years as an assistant and by now should have some solid contacts in the coaching world, which helps when it comes to hiring assistants and recruiting. As with all first time head coaches, it will be important to see how he assembles his coaching staff and adapts to the more managerial role of head coach. Hopefully he's up to the job.

[JURIST] The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) [advocacy website] Wednesday applauded the resignation [JURIST report] of US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld [official profile] as a "step in the right direction" and urged Congress to launch an investigation [press release] into his alleged abuses of power. ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero said in a statement:
Rumsfeld is responsible for the torture and abuse of detainees in U. S. military custody and must be held accountable for the failures that occurred on his watch. He has placed the blame on junior military members and has been nothing but derelict in his duty. Congress must initiate an immediate and exhaustive investigation into his six-year-long record of unlawful activity, violations of the rule of law and complicity in the executive branch abuse of power.The ACLU filed a lawsuit [complaint, PDF; press release] against Rumsfeld in March 2005 alleging he was directly responsible for the torture and abuse of detainees in US military custody. While a hearing in Ali v. Rumsfeld [ACLU backgrounder] is set for December 8, the ACLU claims that as a result of a separate lawsuit "more than 100,000 pages of government documents have been released detailing the torture and abuse of detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay." In Iraq, although there has not yet been an official announcement of Rumsfeld's resignation, some Iraqis are welcoming the change in Pentagon leadership and are even calling for an investigation [AP report] into Rumsfeld's responsibility for the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal [JURIST news archive] and other crimes committed by US soldiers against Iraqi citizens.
The ACLU has also asserted that Rumsfeld abused his power through the Defense Department's use of a terrorist database to spy on organizers of demonstrations against military recruiters on college campuses in April 2005. In response to an ACLU lawsuit [complaint, PDF], a federal judge in May ordered [JURIST report] the US Department of Defense to expedite processing of a request submitted by the ACLU under Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) [text; DOJ materials] regarding the use of the TALON database to spy [ACLU backgrounder] on student protest organizers. The ACLU filed another lawsuit [complaint, PDF; press release] in June seeking to force the DOJ [JURIST report] to reveal documents it collected by TALON. The Washington Times has more.

Lana is stuck in traffic on the drive in to work. An unexpected text from her lover, Dylan, sets her mind reeling about their sexual tryst to come later in the day...
Read all about how Lana's exhibitionist alter ego makes Nader drop his tools … and his tool belt!
Lana and her lover, Dylan, loved to tease and taunt one another sexually. Telling each other stories of their sexual escapades during their heated trysts, it was their own private version of Truth or Dare...
A trilogy of short stories by erotica author Nikki Pearl. Lana, a confident, fiercely independent woman harbors exhibitionist and voyeuristic sexual fantasies...
Read samples from each book in the Thrillogy below.
Book 1 Excerpt . . .
Stealing a glance to her right, Lana noticed the vehicle next to her was a delivery van without a driver's side door. The young driver was wearing his summer uniform … loose fitting shorts and a tight-fitting T-shirt.
He was muscular, lean, fit. Lana could see the clear muscle definition in his calves, thighs and upper arms. Veins popped from his inner forearms. His chest was broad, his well-defined pecs stretching the T-shirt.
Nicely tanned, the hair on his legs and forearms were manly, masculine. His wavy, dark brown hair and a couple of days growth of beard stubble on a firm, square, chin and jaw completed the picture. But, she could not see his eyes. They were fixed straight ahead observing the traffic jam.
Lana thought to herself "Hmmm … Mr. Brown's kind of cute."
At that moment, Lana's iPhone chimed. She recognized the sound, it was a text message. Probably someone from the office wanting to know where this or that was, when she would be in, trying to coordinate the day's activities.
She picked up the phone and was pleasantly surprised that it was from Dylan, her secret lover for the past three years.
Lana clicked on the icon to read the message. It was one simple word "Mints".
A delightful, devious smile crossed Lana's lips. She replied to the text message with an equally cryptic emoticon … a wink and a smile.
It was their secret code. Whenever either of them wanted to get together for some steamy, hot sex, they would simply text "Mints." A wink and smile emoticon confirmed the date. Nothing more needed to be said. The time and location of their sexual romps was set in stone.
The text message from Dylan sent Lana's mind reeling. She never knew what to expect when she met him at their secret rendezvous.
Dylan was the most exciting lover she'd ever had. Meticulous in attention to detail, he always had something special planned and it was never, ever the same.
Lana's mind raced through the possibilities. Maybe today Dylan would tie her up with panty hose, teasing and taunting her. Stuffing her wet panties in her mouth while her hands were bound behind her back, the panty hose binding tightly, while he had his way with her.
Maybe he would tell her stories of his sexual escapades. His hot, throaty voice, hushed into a sexy whisper as he described the sex in gritty, explicit detail using all the naughty words she loved hearing, but seldom spilled from her lips. Except when she was with him.
The anticipation! That was Dylan's sexual genius. Lana knew she would spend the entire day thinking about the afternoon tryst with Dylan. Knowing it would be hot, sultry, erotic, but at the same time not knowing exactly what to expect.
As her mind wandered, Lana felt the desire surge through her. She gently stroked her left thigh, feeling the soft mocha flesh beneath her fingers.
Book 2 Excerpt . . .
"Now, tell me … what seems to be the problem here" Nader inquired. Lana explained that the engine check light was glowing, but she did not notice any change in the car's operation. No unusual noises, no decrease in acceleration, no … the engine was not stalling. She really had no idea what caused the check engine light to glow … it just did.
"Fine, do you happen to have the service records with you?" Nader inquired.
"Oh, yes. In the glove compartment." Without thinking, Lana leaned into the little black Mercedes placing her right knee on the driver's seat and her right hand on the center console for support. She leaned forward, stretching her left arm to the glove compartment to pop it open. As she leaned forward, her left leg stretched out and lifted up off the ground. Her cute little white pullover dress inched up her thigh and came to a rest in the crease where her buttocks met her thighs.
Standing next to the driver's door of the little black Mercedes, Nader caught a glimpse of Lana's gorgeous legs, the beautiful caramel mocha skin contrasted against the white pullover dress. He could see the outline of her apple-bottom- shaped ass … nice, tight, full buttocks … a cute little bubble butt. The fabric of the dress was smooth as silk on her skin and clung tightly to Lana's body. Nader thought to himself … "Was she" … his mind raced … "not wearing any panties?"
Lana immediately felt her pullover dress inch up as she reached for the glove compartment. "Ooops!" … "Too late!" she thought to herself. She was certain Nader was ogling her, enjoying the view.
Book 3 Excerpt . . .
"Lana" Yvonne teased in her distinct Latvian accent that Lana found so appealing "what are you doing in there?" Yvonne spoke the words in a teasing drawn out sing-song legato.
Startled, Lana hushed. "Oh God! Had Yvonne heard her?" Lana had only been in the stall for a couple of minutes, but that was plenty of time for Yvonne, or anyone else, to have overhead the sexual banter between she and Dylan.
Yvonne heard Dylan whisper "Who's that?"
"Lana put a finger to her lips … ssshhh" Lana hissed, hoping to hush Dylan.
"Oh! Yvonne … I'll be out in a minute!" Lana said breathlessly, trying to sound casual.
Dylan was having nothing of it. "One of your girl friends … Invite her in" Dylan teased Lana.
Lana was about the hang up on him, but knowing that she was going to have to face Yvonne, she hesitated. Lana decided that she would call Dylan's bluff.
She angled the phone to the stall door and clicked the lock open. Pulling down on the handle, she slowly opened a little crack in the door.
To her astonishment, Lana heard Dylan's voice "Hello Yvonne, would you care to join us?"
Lana was flustered! But, instead of hanging up, she knew that she was the one who had thrown down the gauntlet, issuing The Dare to Dylan.
Lana slowly pulled the stall door open. "Well, hello there" she cooed to Yvonne.
Yvonne peered into the stall. She could smell the sex floating in the air. "Lana, aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?" Dylan's voice cackled from the phone.
Lana looked at Yvonne and smiled, lifting a questioning eyebrow. Yvonne nodded "Yes." Her lips breaking into a devilish grin.
"Dylan, this is my new friend Yvonne." Lana said seductively. Yvonne entered the stall, gently closing the door behind her.

Although the public discussion revolved around Simpson's use of one of the seven dirty words you can't say on TV -- an odd word choice for a guy from a farm state, who should be naturally inclined to use the word "teat" -- the real story is in Simpson's seething scorn for the entire idea of the Social Security system.

The rudiment of the teat is a depression or invagination of the epidermis from the bottom of which six stout hairs arise.
The swapping of "teat" (the commonly-used word for an animal's milk-giving gland) for the word that refers to a woman's breast was Simpson's own alteration, probably intended to disturb the female recipient of his comment.

Ladies it is so hard to get a lot of information off this site about wedding sin Cuba there are a few!!! I have been stocking Trip Advisor as well, I did find a couple posts from people that were married at my resort and then just sent them a message right there on TA! Congrats
Iberostar Ensenachos - Jan 2013
Posted 23 January 2013 - 10:30 AM
Posted 26 January 2013 - 09:42 AM
Hi! We are getting married at this hotel on April 1! I would love to hear about your experience, because as you ladies have said, it's hard to get details!
Posted 31 January 2013 - 07:08 PM
Hi Girls! Would love to hear how it went with your wedding, Corra! Hope it was everything you've dreamed of We are planning to get married there in April 2014, but the response from the resort has been slow thus far. We have been to the resort twice and LOVE it, so it's definitely where we want to get married but I guess what we want isn't typical of what they offer. Anyhow, would love to hear of anyone's experiences either with the prep or how their actual wedding day went. All the best to all the IE brides
Posted 31 January 2013 - 07:13 PM
Hi Ladies! Would love to hear how your experiences are going thus far and Corra, would love to hear how your wedding was! I hope it was everything you dreamed of
We are planning to get married at IE April 2014...have been there twice and are pretty much dead set on having it there, but I guess we want a reception that's not typical so they have been very slow to get back to us. I understand that it's over a year away, but just want to know if they can do it...and also to know how long you typically have to wait for a response from the wedding coordinators. No doubt that any wedding at this resort would be absolutely gorgeous!
Posted 19 February 2013 - 04:15 PM
Hello, I have returned from Iberostar Ensenachos. It was a fantastic vacation and a beautiful wedding! The resort is beautiful, the beaches are breathtaking and the staffs are so warm and helpful. It was quite blustery when we were there and the weather was very unpredictable but luck was on our side so the sun came out strong on our wedding day and allowed us to have our wedding along the beach.
If you are going to have your hair and makeup done through the resorts salon, I would suggest booking your appointment about four hours before your scheduled wedding time. Our wedding coordinator booked me in for my hair appointment at 2:30 and my wedding was to be at 4:30. I showed up a half hour early to find out they forgot about my appointment and had to actually get a lady in from a completely different hotel to do my hair. By the time they got me in for my appointment, it was 3:00 and completed my hair at 4:10. So that only left me with 20 min to throw on my dress and put on my makeup. However, I was really impressed on how well she did my hair. I provided her one image of what I wanted and she managed to recreate it perfectly!
I was staying in the villa section of the hotel, which is 2 km from the rest of the resort so it takes a bit of time to commute. Since my hair appointment was pushed back, I had to rush back to my room to get all suited up for the ceremony and was not as fun or relaxing as I had hoped getting ready. Sadly, my Mom was held back in the mad scramble to get ready so I missed getting ready with her. So my point is, ensure you book your appointments well in advance and start getting ready early in the day to avoid stress.
I would also suggest having your coordinator clearly define all the things required for you to do/have on your wedding day. When there is a language gap, things are perceived differently. Leading up to our ceremony, another funny thing occurred. We were having a civil ceremony but we were not advised we needed to present our passports to the judge, as well as our witnesses. We had previously provided photocopies to our coordinator earlier so thought that was all they needed. However, as we were about to start with the ceremony, the judge informs us he needed the passports, so our coordinator made a mad dash to retrieve them, when she returned she then found out we needed our witnesses passports as well so back she went along with our guests to retrieve the passports. It all came together eventually though and was a beautiful ceremony and fun night. We booked the photographer directly through the resort and purchased his wedding video too and we thought he did a remarkably good job and was a fantastic deal! I would recommend the photo and video package. I was also very happy with the flower arrangements they provided.
Hope my review has provided you with some good insight and settled your nerves a bit. Feel free to ask me some questions and I'll try to provide you with some answers.
I wish you all the best and most beautiful Cuban wedding! x
Posted 20 February 2013 - 10:31 AM
Thanks for sharing Corra! Always good to know those little things that might be forgotten! I haven't heard from anyone else that the judge needed their passports at the ceremony. Anyhow we will be having a symbolic ceremony as we are going to legally get married in Canada just to make it easier! I have decided not to get married here but another resort we have vacationed to last year. But I always like to hear how others weddings went in Cuba.
Posted 12 March 2013 - 03:36 AM
Wow thank you so much for the review...it's a huge help! I am getting married there in less than three weeks and also around the same time as Corra14. I will definitely take your advice about doing the hair appointments early
Overall did you find Yennys and Yoanka helpful? It's hard to tell through emails sometimes! I saw a review on TripAdvisor by a groom's mother that said they didn't help with much.
Where did you do your dinner? We've booked the Asian restaurant for our wedding dinner for our 25 guests. We're told it will be re-opening after renovations just before we arrive on March 28.
We are bringing a photographer who is a friend, but were interested in the video package so hearing that you're happy with the results is very reassuring. Your cake was very pretty - I wasn't sure what to expect.
We made silk flower bouquets for the wedding as I have an exact look I wanted.
Are there any other tips you would suggest to a laid back but slightly nervous bride?
Posted 13 March 2013 - 10:32 AM
Posted 14 March 2013 - 06:20 AM
Yes! I made them with my sister-in-law and mother-in-law who are both pretty crafty (I am not). It wasn't that hard though. I had found similar ones online but they were very expensive. We got the flowers at Michaels craft store (usually $8 each but I got them half-price). We also got the ribbons at Michaels. We found florist tape (really sticky stuff) at a dollar store and wrapped the stems together really tightly before gluing the ribbons to them. I'm also going to add a charm to my bouquet of my grandparents on their wedding day because they cannot be with us at the wedding.
We leave two weeks from today and I am SO excited!
Posted 14 March 2013 - 08:27 AM
Jackie those flowers are really nice!!! Its really making me think that I should make my own! It doesn't seem to be that hard. I am also afraid I won't be get the flowers I really want!

Hi guys, miss me? I hope you had a wonderful Easter. Mine was nice, full of traditions and sadly a lot of rain too.
Last week we lost the internet connection at home. That meant no computer or blogging, no TV and no phone connection.
At first I panicked I felt that everything was crashing in around me. Like my moving train had come to a screeching halt and that was not good. And then I just let go….
I stopped fighting it and started to enjoy this quiet moment, this forced inactivity, this feeling of being unplugged.
For days in a row I was in bed before nine with a book and usually fast asleep by ten.
I guess I needed a little break. I am under a lot of stress at work right now. I have an important project that I need to finish before the end of April, and a lot is riding on it. And it is bringing out all my old insecurities and anxieties. So to say that it is draining is an understatement.
Of course at first I was sure I could do it all. Work during the day, even put in a lot of extra hours and then blog at night and by some miracle be able to work in enough projects over the weekend so I'd have content.
It worked for about two weeks. And then the internet broke and I broke with it.
And I decided that that was okay. That we all would still be friends when I was ready to return. That you all understand that every once in a while our real lives take over and blogging has to come second. I'm still not sure when I will have the next project finished to share with you. I hope I'll be able to put in some project time this weekend. But the week isn't over and I don't know how much my work will take out of me the next days. So no promises here.
So tell me! How are you all doing? Is life as crazy over at your place too? Are you still able to keep juggling all those balls at the same time, or are your dropping them here and there too.
What spinning plates are you trying to keep from falling?

Coming up on two weeks before the 134th Kentucky Derby is run at historic Churchill Downs. Decisions will be made on who is going to run and who is going to ride who.
That's one such problem — if you want to call it that — facing Edgar Prado, who won the Run for the Roses in 2006 aboard Barbaro.
Prado was on board when Monba won the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland last Saturday. He rode Tale of Ekati to victory in the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct on April . And he was the rider for Adriano when he won the Lane's End Stakes on March 22.
Who will he ride in the Derby? He hasn't said yet.
"He hasn't committed yet," said Don Lucarelli, who owns a third of Monba. "I think, right now, we are 50-50 that we'll get Edgar."
if Prado picks someone else, Lucarelli, from Duanesburg, said he would like to see Rene Douglas, who rode Monba in his first two starts (both victories) as a 2-year-old, in the saddle on Derby Day.

Barker Wants To Forget Injury Nightmare
Shaun Barker wants to put his injury nightmare behind him after returning to the starting lineup against West Ham United at the weekend. Despite a poor result Barker was pleased with his return to action after making his first start of the season alongside fellow long-term injury victim Paul Green with James Bailey also returning after missing eleven matches. Barker played with a knee injury throughout the majority of last season before going under the knife once The Rams secured safety.
Barker`s recuperation took slightly longer than expected but after playing for the reserves and coming on as a substitute against Hull City in the last game he was called into the starting lineup for the televised trip to Upton Park. Talking to dcfc.co.uk about his time out Barker said:
'I'd never had a major injury before, I think the longest I had been out was five weeks with a torn thigh muscle. To be told I'd be out six or seven months was a big shock and it has been the most disappointing seven months of my career.'
'I have been lucky in my career when it comes to injuries but you are always going to have a major injury at some point. I am just hoping this has been my major one and, hopefully, I will be better, stronger and injury-free for a good few years.'

I created this sequence of randomized notes using Processing.org with the RWMidi library installed. The notes were randomly selected from a C minor scale. I also randomized the occurrence of the notes to eliminate any rhythmic qualities. The velocity was also randomized within a range so there's absolutely no consistency to the dynamics either. I could go further into Dada territory by using a chromatic scale, or even random frequencies entering into microtonal realms, but this is just an experiment I did to test some of the functionality within the library.

Struggling and wasting time with the Joomla! Media Manager?
The Joomla! Media Manager can be slow to use.

- Dimensions : H: 76cm; W: 42.5cm; D: 46cm

OK, I like both F2, and would have loved to see Chantal as F1, but this works for me - only if Chantal is the next B'ette.
Maybe lithargic's source was right when they said, "don't believe anything" because the edit was pointing so strongly to Chantal as F1? I also read on another thread (RS?) that one of the things Brad keeps repeating about his F1 is, "what if she doesn't love me back?" - and we all know Chantal professed her love for him way back, but with Emily's edit you can't tell if she's ever going to be over Ricky. This makes sense if Em is F1.

Washington Hoping to turn around an embarrassing problem, the Pentagon proposed Friday giving grocery store debit cards to low-income troops, so they would no longer have to use food stamps.
Secretary of Defense William Cohen said the plan to subsidize military members' food purchases with an in-house Department of Defense program would cost the Pentagon $31 million a year. It also would help some people who didn't qualify under the traditional Agriculture Department food stamp program.
The idea must be approved by Congress and could begin within a year after such approval, officials said.
"This will result in families being able to come off the rolls of food stamps," Cohen said at a news conference with visiting Swiss President Adolf Ogi. "This new plan is going to improve the well-being of our junior members in the armed forces."
In 1998, approximately 6,300 U.S. troops were on food stamps. That was greatly reduced from the 12,000 who got them in 1995 and represents less than 1 percent of the 1.4 million men and women in uniform.
Getting military pay raises and improving health and other benefits has been a focus of recent budgets as the military seeks to stem the tide of service members who have been leaving for jobs in the hot civilian economy.
Under a pay raise already approved, base salary going into effect in January for a sergeant with six years in the service will be $1,691 a month. Pentagon officials note that doesn't go far for young military families with several children.
Under the plan announced by Cohen, the Department of Defense would set up its own subsistence program, with eligible troops being given electronic debit cards to use at base commissaries. Other arrangements would be made for troops in remote areas not served by military commissaries.
The cards would contain a fixed monthly value based upon the serviceman or woman's pay level and family size. Eligibility guidelines would generally follow the Department of Agriculture food stamp guidelines with "a few important exceptions," the Pentagon said in a statement.
First, the program would be handled on military installations, making it more convenient than going to state offices that administer the food stamp program, the Pentagon said.
Second, the program will include troops who live off base and also need help but have been ineligible because their off-base housing allowance was counted as income. The housing allowance will not be part of the calculation under the military plan. Officials said they were unsure how many more troops this would add to assistance rolls above the 6,300 now getting food stamps.
"The subsistence program is the right thing to do for our men and women in uniform," Cohen said. "It addresses inequities in current programs and continues the steps started last year with ... pay raises" and improvement in other military benefits.

I know this probably seems a trivial matter to you, but I just had to vent my anger once and for all in the hope that you can highlight this in your paper.
It's about the dustbin collections.
Why oh why can the collectors not put the bins back in the same place as they got them from?
Every time they have been emptied, and I mean every time, our bins are scrambled and all over the place including in front of other people's drives and we have to play this little game of 'hunt our bin'.
I am beginning to wonder whether they are doing this on purpose. We live in a small close in Skegness and although there aren't many neighbours here it's bad enough walking around to retrieve our bins so not to annoy others in the close.
The collectors come around any time between 7am and noon and with most of our neighbours going to work at different times of the morning, it must be infuriating having to move bins away from their drives before they go, especially if they're pushed for time.
I wonder whether other people have this trouble or is it just our little patch of Skegness where they continually do this? I'd love to know.

Houston, Texas (PRWEB) June 18, 2014
eCube Systems, a leading provider of middleware modernization, integration and management solutions, announced the availability of ARMx86, its methodology and service offering for migrating Entera RISC applications to NXTera, a high performance upgrade to Entera, on x86 platforms. Applying eCube's proven ARM (Assess, Remediate and Modernize) process reduces the complexity involved in re-platforming RISC based applications and provides plug and play interoperability between Entera and NXTera.
Companies are making the switch from aging RISC infrastructure for a number of reasons including:
- The high cost of operating and maintaining a platform where hardware/software upgrades are limited and costly
- The high cost of electrical, data center space and cooling needed by RISC systems
- The high cost of experienced and specialized RISC knowledge
- End-of-Life platform such as HP9000
"Migrating Entera RISC applications to NXTera on x86 platforms will reduce operation risk and certainty, provide support for Linux and operation source solutions and give you a better x86 cost/performance", says Kevin Barnes, President of eCube Systems. Additionally, NXTera provides numerous benefits to Entera applications including: performance improvements, broader scalability, improved data access, greater operating system flexibility and support for Java, Python, Ruby, C# and the latest 64bit databases.
While migrating Entera/RISC-based applications present unique organizational and technical challenges (missing source code, obsolete 3rd party libraries, data type variations, etc), IT organizations can focus on work that is critical to the business and off-load the transition to eCube's team of experienced engineers.
eCube has expertise in:
- Implementing new development and production environments
- Locating, recompiling or replacing all 3rd party libraries with x86/OS specific versions
- Locating, recompiling or replacing all custom libraries with x86/OS specific versions
- Locating, decompiling or replacing application source code
- Updating existing testing methodologies
- Updating database drivers and clients to x86/OS specific operation
- Updating security drivers and management code to support x86/OS specific operation
- Modifying code to support x86/OS specific data typing
eCube specializes in inter-language variable mapping, RISC re-platforming to Linux and transitioning from 32bit to 64bit operation.
About NXTera
NXTera is the next generation multi-threaded RPC middleware that is fully compatible with the highly respected Entera middleware platform. NXTera is widely used in Fortune 1000 companies around the world. Learn more: http://www.ecubesystems.com/nxtera_LM.html.

What's the dirtiest thing in your hotel room? The TV remote, right? Last week Best Western rolled out a new housekeeping program that uses new high-tech tools like black lights and UV sterilization wands to help spot dirt and zap germs on TV remotes, phones, light switches and other frequently-touched surfaces in hotel rooms.
I've had several readers tell me that the first thing they do when arriving at a hotel is to put the TV remote on a clear plastic bag to avoid contamination. At Best Western, TV remotes are now thoroughly sanitized, zapped by UV rays, and then placed in special "fresh remote" sleeves to let guests know that they are clean. (I also write for Best Western's YouMustBeTrippin.com blog and prepared the video above with the help of housekeepers and hotel managers at the Best Western Plus Grosvenor Hotel just up the street from SFO to explain the new hygiene program.)
Best Western decided to roll out the new program based on research from Booz & Company that revealed that potential customers rate hotel cleanliness higher than customer service, style or design when it comes to choosing hotels.
What about you? How important is a hotel's reputation for cleanliness when it comes your hotel decision? With all else being equal, are you more likely to choose a hotel that you know uses high-tech cleaning methods like those described in this video? Please leave your comments below.
Why do you think United has not chimed in with any alerts or instructions about this major move? Please leave your comments below.
