The rumors that have been circulating for the last few weeks about Anthony Spencer and the Cowboys finally proved to be true today. The Cowboys placed the franchise tag on Spencer this afternoon. I've got mixed emotions about the move.
I said a few weeks ago that I didn't like the idea of putting the tag on Spencer. And the reason I don't like it is because it guarantees Spencer $8.8 million this season if he chooses to sign the offer sheet. The good news is that the Cowboys can lower his cap number if they can come to a long term agreement with him. I'm not so sure I like the idea of a long term contract now.
I was hoping the Cowboys would either get Spencer signed to a reasonable deal prior to the start of free agency or just let him test the market if there wasn't an agreement in place before free agency kicks off. But apparently Jerry and Stephen Jones didn't want to roll the dice and risk losing Spencer to another team if they blew him away with a big offer like the Giants did with Chris Canty a few years ago.
I like Spencer as a player but I don't love him. I think he is a solid run defender and a decent pass rusher, but I certainly don't think he is worth the $8.8 million he is guaranteed now. And what's worse to me is that Spencer now has a lot of leverage in any ongoing negotiations. If he doesn't like the long term number the Cowboys are presenting him in an offer than he can just sign the one year franchise tag deal and the Cowboys are stuck with a giant cap hit of $8.8 million for an above average but far from great player.
The Cowboys have a lot of options they can use to free up more cap space if they still want to go after a big name free agent. But it doesn't sit well with me that Spencer is being paid so much money to be a good run defender and decent pass rusher. I'd love to see the Cowboys work out a reasonable 3-4 year deal with a better cap number, but why would Spencer go for a lesser deal now? He would be a fool to take a deal that takes any money out of his pocket.
And, if the contract is going to be a big one, that means Spencer will be the guy at strong side linebacker for several more years. It makes it hard to draft high for another pass rusher if you are going to commit so much money to Spencer. Maybe the Cowboys have decided to bite the bullet for one season and draft another outside linebacker early in the draft. A one year deal would make sense in that scenario since Spencer's replacement would get one year to learn the system and get comfortable at the NFL level.
I'm hoping now that Spencer has the franchise tag that it will turn out to be a one year deal. Spencer will have loads of motivation to earn his next contract and the Cowboys can draft to find his replacement after one more season. I do understand that it would have left a gaping hole heading into the draft if the Cowboys had lost Spencer in free agency. I just don't like the idea of paying a guy of his level so much money.

I agree with alot of what your saying here about Spencer, but I think he is highly underrated. Your just not going to find another OLB posting Demarcus Ware like numbers playing opposite of Demarcus Ware. Spencer has been highly productive, minus his career sack total. I think the Cowboys franchised him for the main reason that they didn't see an immediate upgrade in Free Agency, or the draft. Maybe in the top 10 but at the 14th pick the high end pass rushers will more than likely be off the board. I'm happy we kept him for at least one more season because I always remember, it could be much worse.ReplyDelete

Your plan definitely works. Get Spencer's replacement late in the draft, and let him learn for one year.ReplyDelete

Renovation Inspiration: Bold Colored Countertops
Brightly colored countertops are not a choice for the faint of heart. The cost and permanence makes this choice an incredibly bold statement, but if done right they show off a homeowner's fun and carefree personality.
Colored stone and tile is the modern version of the retro colored Formica countertops from the 1960's. In the words of Jonathan Adler, "Color is the most accessible over-the-counter mood-altering substance I can think of. Overdose on color."
Here are a few things to think about when selecting a colored countertop:
- Keep appliances and cabinetry neutral as a backdrop for the bright countertop.
- Make sure it is a color that you and everyone that you live with love.
- Avoid a major pattern and stick to a solid color for the stone and tile.

Trout treasure trove
Plenty of rainbows can be chased in Shonto Ranch's Fall Creek despite ongoing drought.
KERRVILLE — Rainbow trout fishing is a winter sport in Texas, the kind of angling treasure hunt that seems out of place where air temperatures are warm most of the year, too warm for cold-water fish such as rainbows.
Chancing onto the pot of fishing gold at the end of the rainbow seems even more unlikely in a year when water is in short supply and the flowing, aerated water that trout need is a rarity.
But there are places where clean, moving water can be found, a biological fact not lost on the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department. For more than two decades, the department has operated a statewide put-and-take rainbow trout fishery, most notably in the tailrace waters below Canyon Dam.
That stretch of the Guadalupe River this month again is receiving the first of more than 18,000 rainbows to be stocked by TPWD. The trout are 9-12 inches long, and they are hatchery fish seeing wild water and fish hooks for the first time.
Like everything else in the outdoors, the extended drought across Central Texas is having an impact on that fishery and others like it. The TPWD program has been reduced by 10 percent this year because some stocking sites have inadequate water.
Volume in Hill Country rivers and creeks is as low as it has been in decades, and that includes releases from Canyon Lake: the source of cold, clear water for the Guadalupe River tailrace. The water release is sufficient, however, to support the trout fishery this winter.
The effects of the drought are hitting home at one of the region's top private trophy rainbow fisheries, as well — the Shonto Ranch a few miles outside Kerrville on Lower Turtle Creek Road.
"Our lakes are a little low, but there is plenty of water here," said ranch manager Chris Childs as he motioned to the 100-yard-long impoundment on spring-fed Fall Creek. The small, clear, cold tributary of Turtle Creek runs through the heart of the Shonto and is the lifeblood of the ranch's trout fishery.
"We put the first shipment of trout in here in late November," Childs said. "The fish are getting acclimated to the creek, but they were actively feeding right away."
Childs brought in 225 rainbows from a hatchery in Missouri in his first stocking of the season. About half are in the 1-pound class and half are brood trout of about 5 pounds, and there are some 8-pounders in the pool as well.
The Shonto's monster rainbows are familiar company to Midland angler Eric Carr, who has been fishing the Shonto for seven years. He was casting along the banks of Fall Creek shortly after the first stocking and landed 39 rainbows, three of which were in the 5-pound range.
"Rainbow fishing here can be incredible. I've had better days here," Carr said, pausing to smile. "But that day was really great."
Last week, Carr was taking part his second Shonto trout adventure of the season. He was with his brother, Tim, and they were using light spinning tackle and small, in-line Mepps spinners with great success.
The Carrs also try their hands at fly fishing and have enjoyed success on sinking flies, mentioning woolly buggers and San Juan worms specifically. This trip was a jewel for the spin-fishing brothers.
Eric Carr's first fish of the morning was a monster more than 21 inches long and as thick as a loaf of bread. The fish had "shoulders," as the saying goes.
The huge rainbow inhaled a small, golden in-line spinner, and it wasn't the last Missouri mule to be hit by the Carrs. Mixed in with about 20 fish taken before lunch were two more of the huge rainbows.
"As long as it stays overcast with the low-light conditions like this, the bite will be steady," Eric Carr said.
Steady it was, with brother Tim catching his share of trout, including one big brood fish.
As the day brightened, a few largemouth black bass in the 2-pound class assaulted the lures.
"I fish here several times a year when it's warmer," said Eric Carr. "And I've had days when I catch dozens of largemouths."
The Shonto is known as one of the premier axis and whitetail hunting ranches in the Hill Country, but Childs can accommodate anglers year-round. Fall Creek has several impoundments, and each holds clear water with lots of moss, boulders and woody debris — classic largemouth habitat.
The Shonto's bass and trout fisheries are managed as catch-and-release waters. The rainbows and bass that were fooled by the Carrs were released. To make things easier for catch and release, the Carrs mashed down the barbs on the lures.
With cool weather and rainbow trout season in full force, Childs is prepping for more action.
"I have another shipment of about 300 trout coming in around the middle December," he said. "It will be the same mix of sizes, some really big fish in there again."
Those are rare fishing treasures, for sure.

More InformationTrout fishing will continue until sometime in April, when the water gets too warm to support a viable rainbow fishery.
Simple spinning gear and all levels of fly fishing tackle and skills are the common sights for this catch-and-
release-only fishery.

Texas Parks & Wildlife Department's put-and-take rainbow fishery program comes to San Antonio's Brackenridge Park in January.
Bimonthly rainbow trout stockings are under way now at Southside Lions Park and Millers Pond.
Live Oak City Pond will be stocked Dec. 15 and Blanco State Park will be restocked Dec. 28.
Daily bag limit is five fish, and there are no size restrictions.

As Mitt Romney maintains his lead in the national polls, Republican presidential contenders are taking aim at the front-runner.
Tuesday night's debate in New Hampshire is a make or break event for Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who's seen his poll numbers drop. At the same time Herman Cain's polling numbers have been rising. Still, it's the former Massachusetts governor who is likely to get most of the critical attention tonight. Many GOP candidates are now fielding ads targeting Romney
"Even the richest man can't buy back his past," Texas Gov. Rick Perry's campaign said in a web video that describes Romney as the inspiration for President Barack Obama's national health care overhaul that conservatives detest and questions Romney's assertion that he is a "conservative businessman."
Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota on Monday urged conservative voters not to support for a candidate who isn't one of them. "It's not good enough to settle for anyone but Barack Obama," she said while campaigning in New Hampshire.
Even lower-profile rivals are trying to knock Romney off his game.
"Simply advocating more ships, more troops and more weapons is not a viable path forward," former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman said Monday in a foreign policy speech that was a direct rebuttal to Romney's a week earlier.
Romney, a second-time presidential contender, has a comfortable lead in New Hampshire polling after virtually camping out in the state since his 2008 loss and building a strong statewide campaign network. To stop him, his opponents have readied criticism on health care policy, cultural issues and environmental positions.
Tuesday's debate was designed to be on the economy — voters' top concern in a nation that recorded 9.1 percent unemployment last month — but there was scant chance Romney would be able to dodge questions about his record.
Perhaps mindful of that, Romney referenced Perry's web video at a campaign event Monday.
"For some people in campaigns their process is one of obfuscation and bewilderment," Romney said while visiting a VFW hall. "You're going to find in a campaign like this people running against me who will take what I said and try to say something else. There's an ad out there today that does that."
Perry and Bachmann both have tried to pitch themselves as an alternative to Romney, who signed into law a health care mandate as Massachusetts governor that conservatives loathe.
However, the candidates stumbled in their early attempts: Perry flubbed a practiced criticism during his last debate; Bachmann struggled to hold onto her fast rise in popularity and has struggled to gain traction for her message that casts Romney as a moderate who can't be trusted.
The criticism has not thrown Romney's pace. Nothing, to this point, has started an exodus among his supporters. And time is running short for Romney's rivals to make that happen.
While New Hampshire has yet to schedule its primary, it is likely to come before mid-January. That means there are fewer than 100 days for the newcomers to make inroads in New Hampshire, a state where Romney is well known, owns a vacation home and won a second-place finish in his 2008 presidential bid.
Yet, his rivals note, Romney hasn't faced steady nasty attacks here on television. His chief opponent four years ago, Sen. John McCain, didn't have the campaign cash to buy the commercials.
That is not the case now.
Perry is sitting on $15 million. Bachmann has yet to report her fundraising, but previous campaigns show she is a prodigious fundraiser who isn't shy to spend. And Huntsman, a former Utah governor who has made New Hampshire his make-or-break state, has a personal fortune he could tap; his allies have established an independent organization that could run anti-Romney ads with their almost unmatched family fortune.
Perry's campaign signaled their anti-Romney ads were almost certain to start soon.
At the ready: a strong defense of Romney, emphasizing his record as a business executive whose campaign has been based almost exclusively on the economy. Since coming up short four years ago, he and his advisers have laid the extensive groundwork to respond quickly with a message tailored to the economic uncertainty.
If voters' decision comes down to the economy, Romney is ready to highlight his accomplishments — and his rivals' shortcomings.

One Final Race Remains To Name Next Audi Melges 20 World Champion
29 August 2014
Riva Del Garda, Italy - The third day of racing on beautiful Lake Garda produced premium conditions and spectacular competition at the 2014 Audi Melges 20 World Championship once more. Three additional races were completed with second place overall Achille Onorato's Mascalzone Latino Jr. closing the gap on regatta leader, American John Kilroy on Samba Pa Ti ahead by five points.
Going into today's races, Kilroy proudly owned an impressive 14-point lead. Between Onorato and third place overall Guido Miani's Monaco Racing Fleet, the points-spread was reduced substantially as each won a race today, holding Kilroy at bay.
After last night's very exquisite Championship dinner, teams were happy about the 1 o'clock start. Race seven got started with Miani taking immediate control rounding the top mark in first. With each run and beat, Miani extended for the win with the Czech Republic's Jan Kuchar on Aloha racing strong to finish second, followed by Mirko Bargolini's Spirit of Nerina in third — his best finish yet in the Audi Melges 20 Class.
With an awesome 13-15 knots of breeze, Onorato had a great start in Race Eight to lead at the top mark. The fight was on between Onorato and Vladimir Lipavsky's Ost Legal downwind, followed by Matteo Marenghi Vaselli's Lucifer, Marco Gambarella's Chimera, Kirill Podolsky's AnywayAnyday and Russ Lucas on Shimmer. The first run presented the opportunity for several teams to make great advances, and most especially Lucas. He was sixth at the top mark, and fourth at the gate. Lucas raced hard gaining another position upwind for the final run to be in third. Onorato won, Lipavsky held on to second while Lucas held off Vaselli to take third. Lauro Bonaro's Camay had a fantastic race for fourth. John Brown's Blind Squirrel — one of seven teams competing for the Corinthian World Champion title had an awesome race to round out the top five.
It was at this point, Onorato had reduced the point spread between Kilroy and himself to two points. For Kilroy, a 14-12 result in Race Seven and Eight meant he needed to nail Race Nine to protect and continue his overall lead.
Kilroy launched off the line in Race Nine for a nice lead around the track, but it wasn't until the first run that he slowly but surely pulled away from the fleet. Naofumi Kamei's Mamma Aiuto! challenged Kilroy, but Miani and Onorato came on strong looking to move up in the ranks. On the last run, after Kilroy had crossed the line to win, it was a photo finish between Kamei and Miani. Miani jibed over right at the finish line in an attempt to get second, but Kamei just barely got across only a moment before. Onorato finished fourth and reigning World Champion John Taylor on Ninkasi rounded out the top five.
One last final World Championship race is left. An early 9 a.m. start is scheduled.
Live racing coverage will be made available for viewing starting at 8:45 a.m, Saturday, August 29. View The Live Coverage link and tune in to see who will be the next Audi Melges 20 World Champion!

I think that this pattern is gorgeous. Thanks for the spray stabilizing tip! Didn't think of that. I will be buying this one soon for sure. How bout the skirt? Gorgeous! I like Taniguchi's styling and I think Elenore is stunning. So crisp and clean looking. Effortless in beauty.
Did any one make it? I can't find any pictures of finished projects. Thank you!

Yay! This is the perfect idea for all that chiffon I've been eying on the clearance rack at the fabric store! I might be making a lot of these…
Jun 20, 2009, 06.11 AMby sewverytall
Cute top, especially made from chiffon. I'm surprised that fusible interfacing was used [the glue can bleed through the fabric]. Normally with a sheer fabric like chiffon, another layer of chiffon is used as interfacing, so it doesn't show through.
I have to comment on people saying things about the cost of patterns. The cost charged here is very low, and when people complain about them not being free, I wonder how they can say anything. Maybe they are just cheapskates, but it seems worse than that. It's like if one day walking down the street you gave a bum some money, and then the next day the bum came up to you and demanded more money. The bum's reasoning…you gave me money before, you should keep on giving!

Ouch! What a comment! I have to say though, once I went back and took a closer look at the model, what caroleleah says is true. The model is obviously a beautiful woman, but her hair looks like bed-head. And while I don't find makeup necessary at all for women, since she is modeling there, a little bit wouldn't hurt. That being said, gorgeous model – even with the blouse I don't exactly care for! Where do you find all these beauties, Burda? (:
Jun 16, 2009, 08.46 PMby caroleleah
This little blouse is just sweet! I personally couldn't wear it, as it doesn't look like a good choice for a "real-sized" woman like me, but I still think the blouse is adorable! Perfect example of how something doesn't have to be complicated in order to be fresh and pretty. The summery yellow chiffon is a wonderful splash of color, and the lovely model wears it well on her slender figure. The only thing a bit jarring is the "styling" (or rather, the total lack of styling!) done on the hair and makeup. Ryan Taniguchi is obviously a big believer in "less is more", as in, "no styling is best". He is at least consistent in his approach, as every shoot he works on ends up with the model looking this way. Sorry for the jab, BurdaStyle, if he's a favorite, but he doesn't do your lovely models the justice they deserve.

Those shoes look dangerous, poor girl looks like she's struggling to stand up lol… and those gloves, sorry but they look like doctors medical gloves! Love the silk chiffon blouse though, very wearable and cute for spring/summer. The yellow really brings out the style :-)

Yay for Burda, many variations spring to mind

Beautiful! I love it!

Ridiculously easy. Large rectangle, and strategic placing of casing for drawstring. Spray sizing will make fabric super easy to handle.
Think pillowcase.

It's elegant in it's simplicity. Beautiful…..

I'm sorry, but this pattern is not worth $3.
Jun 16, 2009, 12.26 AMby safemme
I guess I'm the only one that doesn't absolutely love this pattern! There's always someone! (: It's a pretty top, just not at all something I would wear. Good luck to all who sew it though – I can't wait to see your versions!
Jun 15, 2009, 11.50 PMby kiraph
This is a lovely pattern! klf, I'd say that it is rated average because chiffon isn't the easiest fabric to work with, and the facings for the drawstrings look like they could be a bit tricky to get sitting right. :) I might be buying this one!
Jun 15, 2009, 03.26 PMby klf
Cute! Why is the difficulty level average? It looks really simple.

cute top!

Hello everyone,
A friend of mine is a pretty die-hard Christian (shock horror, both of his parents are missionaries/vicars) and he often posts little sayings of some kind or another on Facebook, which I usually ignore. However, today he posted something that really irritated me for some reason:
"The more I look at science, the more in awe of God I become."
And just to make that worse, one of his Christian friends commented "Boom" as if he had made some kind of infallible argument. Somehow, I feel as though nothing I say will make any difference because they must be incredibly deluded already to believe that God just "invented" science. Basically, this is the guy who thinks he's a "modern and intelligent" Christian by saying that things like Noah's Ark are "just stories and aren't meant to be taken seriously by Christians". But if that is true, then why take ANY of the Bible seriously and where does he draw the line between stories and (what he believes is) the truth?
In the past I asked him and his friend where the evidence was. He claimed science (yes, seriously) helped prove Christianity and that Christianity was about "opening yourself" to it and believing, and then you "feel God" or whatever. How do you argue with someone like that??
What do you all say to religious people (not necessarily just Christians) who claim that science is just an invention of God? Is there a specific way to argue with someone who twists everything to awkwardly suit modern day thinking?

I'm not so much trying to get him to change his beliefs; with an upbringing like his with the missionary parents, there is no chance that anyone will ever change his mind. The only way that will happen is if he changes it himself. And to do that, he would have to change his way of thinking. I guess I'm asking for blood from a stone!
I just don't understand how people can twist everything like that and not even get a GLIMPSE of how ridiculous their reasoning (or I suppose lack of) is. I remember a girl I knew at school and she really was ridiculously deluded, because she would agree with what we said about reason and science, but then refute it two seconds later when she realised it didn't go hand in hand with religion. THAT was utter delusion, there was no helping her.
I don't know. I guess this friend is a lost cause and I should just avoid the topic with him! Sounds like you've got your Saturday mornings covered though! Fortunately I don't get many of them where I live, but whenever I have had them come to my door in the past I'm usually too tired and irritated to argue and end up slamming the door in their faces. Not so much fun perhaps, but satisfying all the same, ha.
Argue against a delusion any way you want. Just don't waste your time arguing with the deluded.
That seems to be a prevailing opinion, I guess you're right! Just wish I could understand it!
This is a common belief among Muslims as well, where they believe every scientific discovery and what not is coming from the will of Allah. To counter argue this you would have to remind them that is not God who is doing all the work, its actually humans who are doing the work. If they say "well God is allowing them for it happen and that is how they are discovering new science". Just tell them then why doesn't God do it himself, instead of man waiting for God to giving them his will? Why waste time when God can do all the work for you?
These questions are very hard from them to answer, so you can easily trap them
Yeah, I've tried those. And because they're hard to answer, they get answered with some completely incoherent statement, or eventually resort to the classic "God works in mysterious ways" and give you that smug look as if that has explained everything. I suppose I should pity him more than anything!
Point out that science uses evidence, not faith. It is the opposite of religion.
"Truth does not demand belief. Scientists do not join hands every Sunday, singing, yes, gravity is real! I will have faith! I will be strong! I believe in my heart that what goes up, up, up must come down, down. down. Amen! If they did, we would think they were pretty insecure about it." - Dan Barker
Yeah, I tried that one. Not surprisingly, using reason to argue against him appears not to work, so really, I can't argue against him full stop!
I don't argue with zealots for their sake, but for those nearby that witness the exchange. That said, here's my take.
this is the guy who thinks he's a "modern and intelligent" Christian by saying that things like Noah's Ark are "just stories and aren't meant to be taken seriously by Christians". But if that is true, then why take ANY of the Bible seriously
That's good. You can clarify to him that you don't take the bible seriously either, and now neither of you have to muck about with that awful tome of superstitious nonsense. Now, with the bible out, what is he going to use to prove his position?
In the past I asked him and his friend where the evidence was. He claimed science (yes, seriously) helped prove Christianity
Ask him how; specifically how.
How has science proven the existence of an invisible, immaterial, omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient being?
How has science proven the existence of a demi-god named Jesus?
What were the mechanics of the Jesus resurrection, and why can't we do that now?
How has science proven the existence of an immortal soul?
How has science proven the existence of heaven and hell, and where exactly are they?
Then add that if he can't provide the peer reviewed papers on all of this, then he is straight up full of shit.
and that Christianity was about "opening yourself" to it and believing, and then you "feel God" or whatever.
So "just blindly accept it". And I always thought the word for that was "gullibility".
What do you all say to religious people (not necessarily just Christians) who claim that science is just an invention of God?
Counter that gods are just an invention of people, and don't really exist, like giants, and satyrs, and dragons, and cockatrices, and talking donkeys (which, by the way, are also in the bible).
Is there a specific way to argue with someone who twists everything to awkwardly suit modern day thinking?
I think this is becoming more common. The vast majority of people recognize that the bible is nonsensical and no longer relevant, that is why 90% of Christians don't bother reading it. The "personal god" and "personal savior" thing is trending stronger, and involves a lighter framework of dogma, but that amorphous "feeling" thing.
If you don't think it's worth the effort to argue, then don't bother. If you feel compelled, then just keep pulling apart what little structure there is to his position and stomp it with the logic boot. Which brings us back to…
Christianity was about "opening yourself" to it and believing, and then you "feel God"
When he plays this card, go straight into troll mode and have some fun. Start going on endlessly about an over-the-top, made-up sexual encounter. Make him squirm with uncomfortably graphic detail, and make sure you end with it was enough to make you "a believer", and you lost count of the number of times you said, "oh god". Then stop and ask him if it's like that.
Just my 2 cents. Take care.
To be honest, I can't remember the exact intricacies of how he said science proved Gods existence, but he did once show me and a few friends a DVD (I WISH I could remember what it was called) but it basically pointed out loads of apparent "similarities" between scientific facts and parts of the Bible. It was basically a long list of coincidences and the guy who presented it was convinced that science and religion are entirely compatible. It was ridiculous. He was doing things like pointing out numbers that recurred in science and religion (yeah, seriously, numbers).
He's basically completely brainwashed by his parents I guess, so maybe there's no reasoning and therefore to arguing with him. I just wish I understood what it's like inside his head. He must have some kind of switch that just puts his mind back on the path of religion every time something undeniable comes up.
Troll mode sounds like fun though. Maybe that's the way to go, haha.
No, I don't think it was those, although they look equally as worrying. Have fun heckling!
I sat through the videos, Karl, stifling my gag reflex, and noted with amusement that like most theist websites, they left no space for the addition of comments, which is unfortunate, as I had some doozies --
I have yet to meet a religious person who acknowledges that the bible/ quran/ hindu scriptures etc are in anyway scientifically/ historically inaccurate. In fact they always claim that these books contained scientific knowledge before the discoveries were actually made. It's a very common delusion, they know that their beliefs are not rational so in order to justify it they have to resort to vague statements, half truths/ complete distortions and pseudoscience.

Feb. 7, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - The MIT women's basketball team's three-game home winning streak was stopped when NEWMAC foe Worcester Polytechnic Institute posted a 66-50 victory on Tuesday night. Clara Yuan led all scorers with 21 points and four steals as MIT dropped to 6-13 overall and 2-8 in conference play. Caitlin Macko paced WPI (13-8, 7-3 NEWMAC) with 13 points and four assists.
WPI got on the scoreboard three seconds after the opening tip when Sarah Doyon nailed a trey. Back-to-back baskets over the next 1:20 helped extend its lead to seven. A three-pointer by Yuan and pair of free throws from Christa Margossian narrowed the gap to two (7-5). Tiffany Madsen extended WPI's lead with a lay up, but it was quickly answered with one by Kimberly Soo Hoo. WPI totaled 15 unanswered points over the course of five minutes, resulting in a 24-7 advantage. Margossian ended the scoring drought with a put-back at 9:20 while MIT's defense held WPI scoreless for nearly three minutes. Doyon extended WPI's lead with a jumper, but MIT was able to close the deficit to 12 points (33-21) at the intermission.
A free throw by Samantha O'Keefe and a trey by Yuan brought MIT within eight at the 17:22 mark. Caitlin Macko returned the advantage to double-digits on a three-pointer one minute later for WPI's first basket of the second stanza. Another trey by Macko was answered with a three-point play by Yuan, helping maintain the 11-point deficit. Karen Krasko countered with a three-point play of her own, sparking a 10-3 run that resulted in WPI's largest lead of the night (52-31) with 9:12 left to play. WPI cruised to the win as its advantage never fell below 14 points during the rest of the game.
With three assists, Soo Hoo became the fifth player at MIT to tally 100 assists in a season and the first to accomplish this feat since the 2000-01 season. She also finished the night with nine points. Margossian collected a team-high five rebounds and contributed nine points.
Emily Allietta and Krasko both scored 12 points. Allietta reached the total on 4-of-8 shooting from three-point range while Krasko was 5-of-5 from the floor and sank both of her free throws. Tiffany Madsen grabbed a game-high nine rebounds for WPI.
The next game for MIT will be on Thursday, Feb. 9 at 7:00 p.m. when it hosts Rivier College.

It's 98 degrees out, engine failures are proliferating like uranium centrifuges in the Middle East... and an RX-7 is leading the race.
Yes, the White Lightning Sawzall-convertible 1986 Mazda RX-7 (that's a photograph from the LeMons South Spring '09 race, since I haven't had time to shoot many photos today) is the current race leader. The team captain owns a rotary Mazda shop, and we've always been real suspicious of this car... but it's either totally legit or we're dealing with a South Carolinian Smokey Yunick here. Probably the latter, but ya never know, ya know?

Ever since I was a child, I absolutely loved to write. During my sessions as creative writing tutor, I hope to foster that same love for writing. My students are challenged to stay true to their own voice while simultaneously considering craft, style, syntax, structure, and the myriad elements of engaging, successful writing. My sessions can be catered to a specific goal (standardized testing), or can be an open-ended experience invaluable to academic success.

As a voice teacher, I want to help my students settle comfortably into their own musicality by showing them the building blocks of a solid technique, drawing particularly from the things that helped me grow as a vocalist. I want my students to feel strong in their body, comfortable and relaxed in their breath, and confident in their performance.
I am a professional vocalist in NYC. I perform liturgical and classical music, as well as musical theater repertoire. I participate in professional operas, choral groups and other concert series, as well as professional theater work. Performing gives me a sense of bliss and completeness that is indescribable.
As a certified yoga instructor, I teach in many locations throughout NYC. I was trained at Yoga Haven in Scarsdale, New York with Betsy Kase, and earned a 200-hour certificate in Asana, Pranayama, and Meditation. I went on to complete advanced trainings and now specialize in restorative yoga, prenatal yoga, yin yoga and therapeutics.

I have had clients prepare for the writing sections of standardized tests. Usually we met once per week and during this time the client would write an essay from an actual test. I would time the client and, when he or she finished, I would evaluate the essay. I have done this for the GRE, Regents, SAT, and other tests. I have also tutored clients in business writing and every day writing.
I proofread papers based on form and content with the following criteria in mind. For content, I look at the macro issues at work: validity, cogency, avoidance of fallacious reasoning, and soundness. (Some style manuals (e.g., The Chicago Manual of Style 15th ed) refer to this as 'developmental editing'.) I try to return papers with expansive explanations of argument quality in terms of formal and informal inferential structures and lack thereof. I may, for example, point out a false dilemma, an affirmation of the consequent, a straw man, etc and suggest an alternative (e.g., modus ponens in ...

Having to sit down and write a paper (whether it be your college thesis or a five paragraph essay for an elementary level English course) can be an intimidating and stressful if not overwhelming experience.
That's where I come in...To help you with both the assignment you are currently working on as well your writing process in general. Working on strengthening how you write will make writing easier and easier each time you do it, until you don't need my help at all.
Many people are not aware of the universal strategies and tactics that can be used in order to improve their writing at every stage in the process. Whether it be brainstorming, outlining, drafting, writing, editing, etc. Taking at look at and examining your writing process together will allow us to customize the tutoring session for your needs specifically.
Outside of helping to write papers I can assist with help in English grammar, Literature, Creative Writing, and many other related fields.

Christopher came here to teach me pivot tables which I needed to know for work. I had no knowledge of what they were or did and when he left I had an understanding which I did not think I could achieve in such a short time. The patience he showed was wonderful as I was nervous and he put me at ease which is not an easy task! He also had to figure out what I need to do (in Excel)when I do not completely understand it myself but by the time he left, he understood and I am confident that I can succeed now and it is all because of Christopher!

Having read Christopher's bio, I sensed that there was something special about him, and that he was the right one for our son who has some learning challenges, particularly in the area of Math. I believe it is very important a tutor connects not only on an academic level but also where there can be some light hearted conversation. Christopher arrived punctually for our first meeting and his assessment of our son. In advance of that meeting I had explained to Christopher what the challenges are and what our collective objectives are. As soon as I saw him, he appeared to relaxed but confident. After an initial introduction, I stepped away to let Christopher and our son become acquainted and he immediately set about establishing some common ground which happened to be a particular sport. No more than Christopher, our son is also very perceptive and despite the fact that he initially resisted the idea of any tutor, his words after this first meeting were "I can work with him"! Its obviously early days yet, but so far so good!

(which now has almost 100 fabulous ideas linked up!)
And a beautiful flower from Heavenly Handmades:
Brilliant ideas!
But the creativeness with ties doesn't end there!
There is an entire blog about creating art from men's ties. You MUST go and take a look! There are rugs, dresses, lamps, quilts..... oh just go and look! I was blown away!
Here's a video I found on youtube, which describes a whole range of things that someone makes from ties and sells in her shop - take a look at this- some amazing ideas:
Is that enough inspiration for you go start cutting up those ties??? I've used up all the old ones in our house - I must admit I'm tempted to take a trip to the charity shop to buy more to try out some more of these ideas!
Thank you for all your encouragement and support throughout my clothes upcycling challenge month, not only have I used up a large pile of clothes which I've had for several years, but I learned a lot about sewing clothes, provided myself and my daughters with lots of 'new clothes' and other miscellaneous items, and also learnt more about what I can achieve when I really set my mind to things and commit to doing something consistently and regularly!
Do come back tomorrow, when I will reveal my next challenge, I want to keep my motivation up and edge ever closer to success using all the creative bones I can find in my body - or anywhere else for that matter!
Hope you have a lovely day!
I'll be linking this post to some of the wonderful linky parties whose pretty buttons can be found on the bottom of this page.

The V90 might be getting a little older but it's comfortable enough to ensure that even the longest journeys are comfortable and it has the performance to get you to where you're going without missing a beat. That means that it's great for driving away on vacation or even just out for the day with the only downside being that it only has so much room for all the things you need to take with you. However, you've come to the right place to remove that downside because we have a range of Volvo V90 roof racks.
Your roof is the obvious place to store things and we have the right equipment to allow you to store them securely and out of the weather. We have everything you need for your individual application like the specialized carriers that make it easy to transport your bikes, kayaks and other equipment or the box carriers that allow you to add a second trunk to your vehicle. We offer everything at great prices so that you don't have to spend a fortune to make your future journeys much more comfortable than they were before!
