7 of Glenn Frey's Best Songs
By Andrew Magnotta
January 18, 2018
On January 18, 2016, Eagles singer, guitarist and keyboardist Glenn Frey died in New York City at age 67.
Frey was one of the Eagles' primary songwriters and, by extension, co-authored some of the biggest hits songs in the history of popular music.
While Frey's fellow Eagles co-founder Don Henley emerged later in the band's career as its primary vocalist (and mouthpiece)—and had by far the most successful career as a solo artist—Frey's contributions to the band as a co-founder, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist were essential to its unprecedented success.
Frey grew up in Michigan and began learning about recording and the music business through a fellow Rock and Roll and Songwriters Hall of Famer Bob Seger. Seger allowed the young Frey to shadow his studio sessions and eventually helped Frey get a management and recording contract.
When Frey later moved to Los Angeles, he met Henley, along with longtime Eagles collaborators J.D. Souther and Jackson Browne. Henley and Frey formed the Eagles and the rest was hits and history.
In memory of Frey, let's take a look and a listen to some of his best songs.
1. "Take It Easy"
The Eagles first hit single, "Take It Easy," was written by Frey and Browne, with Frey singing lead vocals. It peaked at #12 on the Hot 100 and is one of the band's signature songs, even today when it's sung by Frey's son Deacon.
2. "Tequila Sunrise"
The Eagles were so successful that their 'sophomore slump' album, Desperado, produced two Top 100 singles, "Tequila Sunrise" and "Outlaw Man," and went gold less than a year-and-a-half after its release.
3. "Desperado"
The Eagles didn't even release "Desperado" as a single on the album Desperado—which was certified double platinum in 2001—and it's still considered one of the greatest songs ever. Rolling Stone included the tune on its 500 Greatest Songs of All-Time list.
While Henley sings lead on the song "Desperado," he says Frey "brought the structure" to the song and filled it out. He says co-writing "Desperado" with Frey was the beginning of the duo's songwriting partnership.
4. "One of These Nights"
For the Eagles' fourth album, Henley and Frey wanted to take on a more rock 'n' roll approach and get away from the country ballads for which the band was so well-known. Part of this process included added guitarist Don Felder to the group for his rock 'n' roll and lead guitar credibility.
Frey said in the liners notes of the The Very Best Of album that Henley's voice allowed the pair to take bigger chances with the band's sound. And it worked out, since the song hit #1 in 1975.
5. "Lyin' Eyes"
Another one of the Eagles' signature country-influenced ballads, "Lyin' Eyes" showcased the dichotomy of which the band was capable beginning on the One of These Nights album.
"Lyin' Eyes" was sung and mostly written over about two days by Frey, who was inspired after a night out with Henley at a bar known to be frequented by wealthy people cheating on their spouses. Looking at one woman, Frey remarked "She can't even hide those lyin' eyes."
6. "You Belong to the City"
Since we mentioned how Frey's solo career is often overshadowed by Henley's, we'd be remiss without mentioning that Frey was indeed a powerhouse as a solo artist. While Henley concentrated on music throughout the Eagles' hiatus in the '80s, Frey made a name for himself as an actor as well as a solo artist during that period.
Co-written by Frey and Jack Tempchin, "You Belong to the City" peaked at #2 on the pop charts, and would have given Frey a #1 pop hit were it not for Starship's "We Built This City."
Nevertheless, "You Belong to the City" hit #1 on the rock charts (even though it's not a rock song at all) and helped the Miami Vice soundtrack album stay at #1 for 11 weeks, making it the #1 album of 1985.
7. "Heartache Tonight"
In a career of huge hits, "Heartache Tonight" was one of the Eagles' biggest hits with its equal rock and country appeal.
Lead vocals on the song are sung by Frey, and the writing of the song was a collaboration between Frey, Henley, Seger and Souther. Frey said the song contained "no heavy lyrics" and was intended to be more of "a romp." It was the Eagles' last song to hit #1.

Stress is very harmful to your body.
If there is someone or something causing you stress - remove it from your life if possible.
This is a good article on stress
by John Leyva, CSCS, CPT | October 22, 2012
Stress! The word alone can make you feel stressed out. If you're among those feeling like you have too much stress and not enough time to deal with it, you're definitely not alone.
Every year, the American Psychological Association puts out a stress survey where they question over 1,000 Americans about their levels of stress. In 2011, over half of Americans (53%) reported having physical symptoms due to stress in the past month.
This article will detail some of the physical maladies of stress, how the stress response in your body works, in particular how it affects weight loss.
Stress Causes & Symptoms
You're probably aware stress contributes to diseases, but did you know that stress is related to 7 of the top 10 killers in the US? Everything from the heart disease and cancer, to diabetes and suicide. In 2011's APA Stress report, beyond work and family responsibilities, the economy, money worries, and family health problems rounded out the top 5 reasons people cited for stress in their lives.
In addition to all of these psychological factors that cause stress, you might have many physical stressors affecting your body without you even knowing. For example, poor sleep is a major stressor on your body yet most people report not getting enough sleep. Additionally, unknown food sensitivities, blood sugar dysregulation, drug supplies in the water, and poor air quality can all contribute to the stress-load on your body. I mention these additional physical reasons, not to scare you, but because, no matter the sources of the stressor, your body's response to the stress is the same.
Your Body's Response to Stress
stress and weight loss 2 Is Stress Sabotaging Your Weight Loss Results?Cortisol is released when your body perceives a stressor and acts as a low-level type of adrenalin released from your adrenal cortex. If you've heard of cortisol before reading this article, you've probably heard that it's bad for fat loss and that you probably have too much of it from the amount of stress in your life.
The truth is a bit more complicated than that. Cortisol is a diurnal hormone, meaning your levels of cortisol should peak in the morning (to give you energy) and slowly drop down as the day progresses so you can fall asleep at night. Basically, cortisol is the hormone of energy and alertness. In a normal cortisol cycle, cortisol, in the absence of insulin, helps burn fat along with growth hormone in the morning.
Most people, though, don't have a "normal" cortisol cycle. For example, most individuals "need" coffee in the morning. This means their cortisol production in the morning is lower than what it should be. Coffee, or more particular, caffeine helps in the morning by causing your body to release a small amount of cortisol. This cortisol release gives you the energy you need to get past the morning but can also cause an over-stimulatory effect on your adrenal cortex, making you rely more and more on coffee over time.
Another sign of a skewed diurnal signal is when you seem to get a burst of extra energy at night. This extra energy at night can cause even more problems as you go to bed later, get less sleep and wake up fatigued, yet again, the next day. This becomes a vicious cycle that can go on for years of fatigue in the morning, energy at night, and poor sleep overall.
How Stress Affects Weight Loss
stress and weight loss 3 Is Stress Sabotaging Your Weight Loss Results?Cortisol's main job is to provide energy when confronted with a stressor. In hunter-gatherer times, stress was typically an acute situation. You were chased by a predator and either fought it or ran away as fast as you could. After the stressor was over, you went about your life. In today's society, the stress is almost constant and the chronic nature of stress can cause a number of issues when it comes to weight loss and health, especially when combined with easy access to unhealthy foods.
When cortisol is chronically released from an over-abundance of emotional and physical stress your body reacts in three main ways that negatively affects fat loss:
Weight Loss Problem #1: Cortisol Makes Cells Less Responsive
First, cortisol affects the receptor sites of other hormones making the cells less responsive to their signals. For example, Type II Diabetes is a disease where sufficient insulin is produced, but your body's cells can't read the insulin signal. This is called insulin resistance and the onset of insulin resistance typically leads to diabetes when not acted upon with correct dietary and activity changes. When insulin remains high (as happens when you have insulin resistance) your body will not release fat from its fat cells. This basically traps the fat you have into their cells, even if you go on a diet. This is why for some people, low carb diets can work wonders (because they had underlying insulin resistance).
Leptin is another hormone that plays a key role in losing weight. Leptin is a hormone released from your fat cells and acts as a thermostat to gauge how much fat you have and how fast you're losing it. When leptin levels are high and your brain can read the signal you feel full and don't over-eat. If your brain can't read the signal though you have leptin resistance and feel hungry all the time. Generally, if you have insulin resistance, you also have leptin resistance.
Excessive stress and it's concurrent release of cortisol negatively effects the receptors for both insulin and leptin, making it harder for your body to read the signals of those hormones. If your body can't read the signals for insulin, fat stays trapped in your cells. If you can't read the signals for leptin, you're hungry all the time. Both of these things place you on an uphill battle when it comes to losing weight.
Weight Loss Problem #2: Cortisol Increases Inflammation
The second way cortisol negatively effects fat loss is by increasing inflammation throughout the body, via very scientific names such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), Tumor necrotic factor- alpha (TNF-A), etc.
Your body has different types of fat that reacts differently. For example, the fat under your skin – the fat that you can grab—is called subcutaneous fat. Another type of fat – lying deeper within your body and surrounding your organs—is called visceral fat. If you've ever seen someone with a "beer belly" then you've seen someone with a lot of visceral fat. Your body will preferentially store more visceral fat when under stress and why the waist-to-hip ratio can be a strong marker for health.
Visceral fat is considered more dangerous than subcutaneous fat for two reasons. First, visceral fat releases the same inflammatory signals cortisol does. Second, since it surrounds your organs, you increase your odds of organ damage.
Therefore, stress signals increase your likelihood of storing more visceral fat (unhealthy fat), while having more visceral fat increases the release of inflammatory signals. This causes a cycle of inflammation and increased visceral fat storage leading to more inflammation and so on.
Weight Loss Problem #3: Cortisol Dysregulates Hunger Hormones
The third way cortisol negatively effects fat loss is through a dysregulation of hunger hormones, in particular Ghrelin and Leptin. Leptin, as mentioned above, helps to control your appetite. When you're overly stressed, leptin levels will drop, making you hungrier. "Growling Ghrelin" is a hormone released anytime you're hungry and increases dramatically when you're overly stressed.
The combination of a lower amount of the "anti-hunger" hormone Leptin, and an increase in the "hunger hormone" Ghrelin, causes people to over-eat. In particular, this combination has people reaching for fast-acting carb foods to spike their blood sugar as insulin helps blunt cortisol levels. In other words, you're more prone to reach for the snickers bar than the broccoli and chicken because your body wants a quick release of sugar to help bring down your cortisol levels.
This can become another vicious cycle as high blood sugar causes an insulin spike, typically followed by a sharp drop in blood sugar. That drop in blood sugar causes your body to release cortisol to help stabilize your blood sugar. That increase in cortisol though also increases your hunger hormones (in particular Ghrelin) so you once again are more prone to reach for more sugary foods causing a rollercoaster of insulin spikes and dips.
After reading this far, you might feel as though there is no hope for you with all of these "vicious cycles." The next article in this 2-part series is 5 simple tips to help manage the stress in your life so you can take control of these cycles once and for all.

I haven't read all of this yet, but I like what I have.
I'm happy to say I've greatly reduced my stress this week by changing doctors, and it's a big load off my mind. The one I've been seeing for several years has been causing me more and more stress as time goes on.
He's a nice guy, but I have a hard time understanding him because he has a heavy accent and he mumbles while he reads his notes from last time. In the middle of him mumbling, he will mumble a question for me, but I always have to ask him if he asked me something. I'm sure I've just not responded to many of his questions because I didn't recognize them as a question.
Also, there will be times when he acts like he's spaced-out, distracted, and doesn't listen to me. There was one visit where he asked me the same question three times.
The final straw that got me to bite the bullet and go to the big hassle of changing doctors, is the fact that he is quite religious. He has mentioned god in the last 6 visits. One time, he said something to the effect that science will never figure-out the brain because it's the province of god.
That's horrible, Spud! I'm glad you changed. I had a doctor like that some years ago, and I changed the day he answered:" Ask god." (I could have lived with "I don't know.")
Good for you Chris. Sounds like you're a lot more decisive, brave, and gutsy than I am. I'm too willing to put-up with a bad situation rather than change.
I can live with "I don't know" as well. In fact, hearing that once in a while makes me trust a person more.
Good riddance! A non-theism pushing, easy to understand doctor is essential.
Good riddance indeed! Should have done it a long time ago.
Hey Spud - that was a good decision you made to change your doctor. He does sound like he is giving you stress.
Ach! This is distressing. As a diabetic I need to keep cortisol low. Now you say it's necessary for energy and alertness and to burn fat. Now you say my morning caffeine works by "causing your body to release a small amount of cortisol." Now you say since I have insulin resistance I also have leptin resistance.
I just woke up from a nightmare about teaching. Still stressing out from that job after having retired a decade ago. I don't think 5 simple steps will do the trick for me.
Well Ruth - maybe some of this information will help. Yes, I drink coffee in the morning and it does release some cortisol. Yes, the whole cortisol release and leptin are complex issues in the body - there is no real quick fix. Coritosl is needed at times- but in small amounts basically. You don't want an over release of cortisol (in other words) finding the right balance will help. So, trying to reduce your cortisol levels is what you should strive for.
Here's the 5 Simple Tips to Manage Stress
As for me
#1, I already drink green tea instead of coffee.
#2. Deep breathing - sounds good!
#3. Workout Consistently - I'm falling down on this job lately.
#4. Be Prepared with Healthy Food - Preparing healthy snacks in advance sounds good too.
#5. Start a Grateful Log
Today I'm grateful for
I was just looking at that.
I do drink coffee - I don't think I'll be giving it up though.
I do hear coffee has benefits.
I am grateful for the Nexus and the people here - and of course you Ruth!
I need to get a new pet. Soon ... soon

Alternative unblocking methods
Our in-browser proxy technology is truly the most advanced of its kind, however there are inherent limits to what it can do. If you are unable to acccess dload123.com using our unblocker above here are some alternative tricks you can try. Please note however that the methods below require that you have administrative privileges on your computer. If you are in a restricted environment you likely won't be able to follow them.
Method 1: Use a VPN
VPN is the most efficient and robust block bypass method, but it might take you slightly more work initially to set up and may cost some amount of money (for a premium connection). However if you often need to access the net from behind a blocker and care about your privacy and security it's well worth the effort and the money.
We highly recommend trying out our VPN partner ZenVPN who offer easy to install client software, quality connectivity worldwide and strong privacy guarantees.
Method 2: Access dload123.com directly by IP address (using hosts file)
On the Internet computers communicate with each other using numerical identifiers called IP addresses. Before your computer can talk to dload123.com server it needs to obtain dload123.com's IP address. A great deal of website blockers work by interfering with this process and misleading your computer about what dload123.com's IP address is.
To bypass this type of blocking you can configure your computer to always use a predefined IP address when accessing dload123.com. In order to do that, you need to edit the so called hosts file. On Windows it's "C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts". On Mac OS X it's "/etc/hosts". Open this file with a text editor (Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on Mac OS X) and append the following lines to it:
220.127.116.11 cc.sedoparking.com 126.96.36.199 parking.parklogic.com 22.214.171.124 www.google.com 126.96.36.199 img.sedoparking.com 22.214.171.124 dload123.com 220.127.116.11 sedoparking.com 22.214.171.124 afs.googleusercontent.com 220.127.116.11 ww1.dload123.com 184.108.40.206 www.sedo.com
(NOTE: Your computer usually needs to talk to several servers to display a modern web page. We have scanned dload123.com and built the list of servers it uses which is why there's more than one line in the list above.)

As with all vendor-sponsored meal invites, there's always a presentation.
The Ancestry.com show emphasized five points of their approach to family history using Who Do You Think You Are? as an example.
The general idea was the use of records to tell a story which in turn draws people to family history. We need to know our audience and use different approaches to draw them in. Involve them in the process, make sure they can see the story you are trying to tell and make it visually compelling.
The points above are all used in the tv show. We can use them to draw our own families in as well. While each WDYTYA is a finite episode with an end, our own stories keep unfolding. I get the feeling Ancestry is crafting the "typical" user experience to assist subscribers in unfolding their own stories. Less about proper citations, more about the family history experience (which is how the vast majority of their customer base approaches genealogy).
We also got a peek at some new developments at Ancestry.com. Ancestor profile pages will have a Story View button which allows users to see an ancestor's timeline in a different format.
There was also discussion of "smart filters" which are used when searching directly from ancestor profiles. I did see an option on the presentation screen for turning smart filters on and off. Ancestry says 1% of people have this option as a test, but eventually all subscribers will get it. You can read more about smart filters at this Ancestry.com blog post.
More updates: Family Tree Maker 2014 is coming, mobile apps are being updated, further improvements are being made to search and DNA components of Ancestry.com.
After the presentation, there was a Q&A session. Someone resurrected the dead horse that is "Old Search." The answer given was that they're trying to add the most-loved features of Old into the New. Old was expensive apparently. I'm not emotionally invested in the debate so pardon my lack of outrage.
Other questions were more of an individual nature because genealogists can't help but talk about themselves and their own issues. I wanted to hear more about what's coming up at Ancestry, but I didn't have any good general questions myself.
Guess that's it from the Ancestry.com breakfast. I had a good time and I appreciate being kept "in the loop" about upcoming developments. Hopefully my wonderful friends and readers do, too.

Now while your reading this post try to keep in mind that I love my family, despite how stupid and narrow minded they can be.
When it comes to being an athiest, I definitely take it to the extreme. I don't believe in anything even remotely paranormal. I think the idea of ghosts, angels, magic, all that stuff is just a way to make our ordinary lives more interesting. But on top of this I also don't believe in conspiracies...at least the ones that are still based on speculation.
So needless to say I definitely don't believe the moon landing was fake, and I SUPER don't believe the whole 9/11 bull. But my aunt and grama do...which actually bugged me alot when I first found out. Not only do they believe the moon landing was fake and 9/11 was organized by the president, but they believe in astrology! My freaken grama thinks she can tell what kind of person you are by looking at yur handwriting because she's a self proclaimed wicken...and somehow this gives her the ability.
So once all this was out in the open they decided that they needed to prove their beliefs to me. My aunt told me that the full moon affects people. Like there's more babies born and more murders. I asked her what proof she had and she typed it into google and brought up the first article she saw and assumed that would be proof enough for me. So I told her I wasn't some idiot who was gonna read some random article by a random guy I didn't know with no credentials and no citations.
After that everything kept going down hill. I think we've argued about one of these topics at least once a week since we discovered our huge differences. I try not to bring it up, but I think the reason it bugs me so much is because I used to respect her a whole lot more than I do now.
My grama's no better too. My ex studies physics and i think my family bothers him more than me. Once when they got into the moon landing debate my grama flat out told him half way through that she simply didn't believe him. In other words: she simply didn't want to believe him.
Not only this, but they've actually told me that they feel sorry for me. When I asked them why my aunt said that not believing in things and having such a difficult mind to convince was sad. Like just because I can't read some random article and believe her makes my life dull. And when I tried to tell her that I was much happier not complicating my outlook on life with theories and just concentration on what actually exists; she just shook her head. Clearly she doesn't want to think someone can have a good life and think the way I do.
I'm baffled that this went unnoticed for so long. I used to think i was alot like my aunt, she was someone I looked up to and thought was pretty smart. Now I just think she's a lazy dumbass...I dunno what to thinkk about all this.
Any comments?
P.S: I'm sorry about my horrible grammar and punctuation, I'm terrible with both...

i am also in the same with you. i also had a hard time understanding what unconditional love was. i always thought it happens in between life partners. but now i have realized that it can happen with anyone. it can be your parents or the GOD, or a life partner. or your friend. whatsoever here is an article which describes it more elegantly
Unconditional love IS god, it is delusion, it is where your mind looses all rationality, and is willing to believe all the lies that the loved one shoves down your throat.
And that my strong atheist friends is my take-home message for this Xmas season, don't believe all the lies that faithers (whether in spiritual things, celestial gods or terrestrial gods) spout. Unconditional love is as blinding to the mind as an acid is to eyes.

Letter: Pa.'s pension crisis is here and must be addressed
Pennsylvania's pension systems are at a crisis point.
Not at some point in the future. Right now.
A lot of attention goes to Pennsylvania's two major statewide pension plans — the State Employees' Retirement System (SERS) and the larger Public School Employees' Retirement System (PSERS) — but the state's local government pension systems also are woefully underfunded.
Actuarial valuations are revealing, and a cause for budgetary concern. According to recent testimony by Budget Secretary Charles Zogby to the Public Employee Retirement Commission, the latest numbers show that SERS has an unfunded liability of nearly $15 billion and is 65.3 percent funded, while PSERS has an unfunded liability of $26.5 billion and is 69.1 percent funded.
SERS and PSERS will have unfunded liabilities of $65 billion by 2021. The potential impact on our state's budget is staggering.
Again, according to Zogby, in the current 2012-13 fiscal year budget, the general fund appropriation for the commonwealth's share of the employer contribution to PSERS is $856.1 million, up $255.9 million, or 43 percent, from last year's $600.1 million. Similarly, Pennsylvania's contribution to SERS is projected to be $677.4 million in the 2012-13 fiscal year, up $209.3 million, or 45 percent, from last year's $468.1 million.
The annual increases in contributions to SERS and PSERS are crowding out other important program areas by swallowing limited funding.
This is only half of the story.
You may not be aware that Pennsylvania has more than 3,200 separate local government pension plans — 25 percent of all such plans in the nation. Municipalities across the state face ever-mounting financial challenges. Tax base loss, crumbling infrastructure, and escalating health care and pension costs strain their financial capacity. Federal funding to the states is being curtailed, and that results in less state funding to municipalities.
The pension problem is not just a city problem. Pension stress can be found in boroughs and townships in rural, suburban and urban areas. Sixty-six of Pennsylvania's 67 counties have at least one municipality with a pension plan that is under a high level of financial stress. About one-third of Pennsylvanians live in a municipality with a distressed pension plan.
It's also not just a municipal problem. By 2035, local school district pension costs will be 14 times higher than today.
PICPA established a Fiscal Responsibility Task Force and, in 2011, the first report called attention to the pension crisis. We shared this report with the General Assembly.
In September 2012, we joined the Coalition for Sustainable Communities, working closely with its coalition partners to implement a common agenda to promote municipal financial health. Efforts include developing legislation to address the shortcomings of the binding arbitration law, Act 111, as well as legislation to address the shortcomings of municipal pension laws.
This is an enormous issue, and taxpayers should become educated about this topic and hold their state lawmakers accountable as proposals to address pension funding move through the legislative process.
—Peter Calcara, vice president, government relations, Pennsylvania Institute of CPAs

Hannah Alexander Books & Biography
You're a doctor? Cheryl leaned toward Mel and raised her voice to be heard over the din of restaurant diners. You could help me paralyze someone, then, couldn't you? Mel stared at her with some trepidation. This was the nice young lady his pastor, Brother Ron, wanted him to meet? I only want to paralyze him temporarily, of course, Cheryl continued. Mel glanced toward the nearest exit. I'd better explain myself, she said with a smile. I write novels. I'm doing research for a book. Ah, interesting. He relaxed slightly and gave her all the information she needed in good, graphic detail. He couldn't understand why she only ate half a slice of pizza the whole evening. This was Mel's introduction into Cheryl's world of fiction. It was Cheryl's introduction into the life of an emergency room physician. They were both fascinated. A year and a half later, they were married. The fascination grew as Mel downloaded at the end of his workday - never betraying patient confidentiality. Cheryl's imagination took over, and together they generated ideas for a completely new story, with a completely new novel. With Mel's medical input, encouragement and help with plotting, and Cheryl's writing skills gleaned over 13 years, they developed their first ER-style novel. The Hoddes (pronounced Hoddee) have loved working together ever since that first meeting. Cheryl has been a professional writer for 19 years now. Mel is a board-certified ER physician with a degree in osteopathy. They work together under the pen name of Hannah Alexander. Their specialty is medical romantic suspense. Mel and Cheryl live in the Missouri Ozarks, where they like to set the majority of their books.

I've been reading quite extensively on the board that most Seahawks' fans expect that Red Bryant's role won't change and that he's firmly entrenched at LDE as that massive and immovable run-stopping, lineman-occupying, 5-tech DE in Seattle's "elephant" scheme. And I've also been reading that Michael Bennett will play the Jason Jones' role, which implies that he won't start and he'll strictly play in passing downs- because I've also been reading that many Seahawks' fans expect Seattle to still do something significant at 3-tech DT alongside Brandon Mebane, either by re-signing Alan Branch or using a late-2nd on the position.
Anyway, I only bring this up to mention what an extraordinary run-stopping DE Bennett actually is. Pro Football Focus, an analytical football website which dissects each and every player and play (and has really gained in popularity and reputability), has given out phenomenal grades to Bennett each of the last two years for his work against the run, actually suggesting that his play has been borderline elite in this regard. Even people who believe that Bennett is a "one-year wonder" because they exclusively look at sack totals fail to realize that in 2011, despite "just" 4 sacks from him that season, that he was absolutely dominant against the run.
I know that Red Bryant's role is unique and that he really doesn't offer a lot of versatility along the defensive line (hence why most Seahawks' fans seem so convinced he's locked in at LDE). But I really think that Seattle would be wasting quite a bit of Bennett's talent if they restrict him purely to passing downs- he's really incredibly well-rounded.
What do you think? Does Bennett have to pigeon-holed into purely passing the passer even when he offers so much else?

The Dodge Ram 1500 is a half-ton version of the classic full-size Ram pickup truck. While Dodge has offered half-ton Ram 150 pickups since 1981, the Ram 1500 designation officially debuted in 1994.
The first Dodge Ram 1500 quickly gained popularity with its muscular new body, selection of powerful engines, and comfortable cab. First generation Ram 1500s come in four trims: the Work Special, LT, ST, and Laramie SLT. Engine choices range from a 175-horsepower V-6 to a 300-horsepower V-10.
By 2009, Dodge revised its trim lineup to include ST, Tradesman, SLT, Express, Sport, and Laramie. Engine choices evolved to include a 215-horsepower V-6, a 310-horsepower V-8, and an optional 5.7-liter, 390-horsepower V-8 Hemi. A 2009 redesign outfit the Ram 1500 with a multi-link coil rear suspension to provide a smoother ride.
The Dodge Ram 1500 comes as a regular cab model with room for three people or as an extended Crew and Quad cab versions that can seat up to six. Crew Cabs offer 125.3 cubic feet of passenger space, while Quad Cabs provide 116.6 cubic feet.
The Dodge Ram 1500 is known as a muscular yet comfortable pickup truck offered with a wide selection of engines and amenities.
Like most full-size pickups, the Ram 1500 comes in numerous trims. Three bed sizes and three engines are offered. A base V-6 and V-8 offer modest power; upgrading to the top-level 5.7-liter, 390-hp V-8 allows the Ram 1500 to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds and tow up to 10,450 pounds.
The top-level Laramie features luxuries such as leather upholstery and wood trim. However, even the lower trim levels offer conveniences such as ample legroom, built-in storage compartments, and power accessories. Standard upper-trim options such as Bluetooth, a navigation system, and an entertainment system can be added to lower trim levels.
The 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 comes in six trims: the base ST, Tradesman, SLT, Express, Sport, and Laramie. Models have either front-wheel drive or four-wheel-drive systems.
2012 Ram 1500 models feature the same dual exhaust, wraparound bumpers, and forward-leaning grille that debuted in 2009. The only significant new feature for 2012 is a revised steering wheel.
The Dodge Ram 1500 ST contains a base 3.7-liter V-6 engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, and can be upgraded to a 4.7-liter V-8 and six-speed automatic. Base models come standard with a 72-inch box and a front-wheel-drive system. Buyers have the option of upgrading to four-wheel drive and a regular cab with an eight-foot box, Quad Cab with a 72-inch box, or Crew Cab with a 67-inch box.
Standard equipment on ST models includes 17-inch steel wheels, black grille and bumpers, a locking tailgate, a vinyl split-bench seat, a six-speaker audio system with CD player, air-conditioning, a tilt steering wheel, a behind-the-seat storage bin, side airbags, front airbags, side-curtain front airbags, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, a seven-pin wiring harness, and trailer tow wiring. Packages add features such as keyless entry, power windows and locks, cloth upholstery, and cruise control.
Upgrading to the Tradesman adds heavy-duty shock absorbers, halogen headlamps, tire-pressure monitoring, and a 12-volt auxiliary power outlet. The Express gains a body-color grille, body-color rear bumper, 20-inch aluminum wheels, and fog lamps. The SLT comes standard with folding heated mirrors, keyless entry, power locks, an electronic vehicle information center, satellite radio availability, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a tire carrier winch. The Sport features 22-inch chrome wheels, a floor-mounted shifter, and bucket seats. The top-level Laramie carries over the Sport's features, but adds chrome trim, fender flares, wood interior trim, leather upholstery, power-adjustable seats with driver-memory settings, power-adjustable mirrors, rear parking sensors, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a premium audio system.
Dodge offers several packages as well. The Big Horn (called the Lone Star in Texas) adds the SLT's features, additional trim, and unique badges, while the Outdoorsman outfits four-wheel drive models with the 5.7-liter V-8 Hemi, bucket seats, two-tone paint, skid plates, all-terrain tires, trailer-towing upgrades, and a trip computer.
Individual options include a 10-speaker audio system, a navigation system, a rear-seat entertainment system, and a rearview camera.
Dodge's half-ton truck became officially known as the Ram 1500 in 1994. The 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 debuted with new standard features ranging from a driver's-side airbag to four-wheel anti-lock brakes. Club and Quad cab styles were also introduced.
Between 2002 and 2008, the Dodge Ram 1500 received upgrades including new audio systems, available navigation and entertainment systems, numerous specialty packages, and a Mega Cab option. Dodge added a 4.7-liter V-8 engine; replaced the previous 5.9-liter V-8 with a more powerful 5.7-liter V-8 Hemi; and added a 215-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6 in place of the 175 horsepower, 3.9-liter V-6. A six-speed automatic transmission also debuted during this time.
In 2009, Dodge expanded its trim lineup and introduced a unique coil-spring rear suspension. Third generation Dodge Ram 1500s feature more muscular lines, a wraparound bumper, and an optional RamBox cargo storage compartment. Available engines include a 3.7-liter V-6, 4.7-liter V-8, and 5.7-liter V-8. The Mega Cab was eliminated, while the Club Cab became the Crew Cab.

Truck, Utility/Offroad
The 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 is very similar to those of the last few years and still retains that imposing and iconic design which makes it so very popular with truck drivers.

The 2010 Ram 1500s receive several features not available on 2009 models. Added options include an integrated trailer-brake controller, folding and power trailer-tow mirrors, electro-chromic mirrors, and iPod control with a glove-box connection. Long-wheelbase models fitted with the 5.7-liter Hemi and a 3.92 rear-axle ratio get their GVWR increased to 15,500 pounds and all models get a deceleration fuel-cutoff feature to improve fuel economy.

Def Tech In-Ceiling Stereo Speaker
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Terrific imaging and strong bass response in a small package. I installed this 6.5'' single stereo speaker in my master bathroom. Since this is a fairly large room with lots of tile, granite and glass, I was worried they might sound too sharp. Instead, I was really impressed at the amount of bass this guy puts out.
Pros: Great performance and surprising bass with high WAF (Wife Approval Factor). The paintable grills perfectly conceal the in-ceiling speaker. One speaker does the trick.
Cons: Will make you want to add one in every bathroom and laundry room and that could be costly.

On Saturday the Lady Knights defeated the Hawks 3-0 before falling to the Mustangs 3-0.

However, the Lady Knights finish their season with an impressive record of 25-8.
Saturday November 3rd:
Game 1
CCRI vs. Delaware Technical College: 25-14, 25-19, and 25-14
Game 2
CCRI vs. Monroe Community College: 11-25, 12-25, and 14-25
Sunday November 4th
District Semi Finals
CCRI vs. Genesee: 13-25, 25-22, 25-17, and 25-19
District Finals
CCRI vs. Monroe: 16-25, 10-25, and 13-25
Head Coach Samantha Amaral commented after the tournament: "Wow, what an amazing season! This weekend we came in as the underdogs in Districts and we ended up being a finalist. I could not have been any more proud of my girls. This weekend took a lot out of my girls emotionally and physically. They wanted this more than I can explain in words and honestly I feel they were the most deserving. It was a Cinderella story that just didn't have the ending we all hope for."
Leading the way for the Lady Knights was Co-Captains Paula Cadavid (Lincoln, RI) and Annie Ragan (North Kingstown, RI) who played with all their heart. In the semi-finals Paula had 20 kills, 22 digs, two solo blocks, one assisted block, and six service aces, with five of those aces coming in game four! Coach Amaral added "She truly led by example. She was ON FIRE! If you could have seen her play, every time she hit all three coaches would get up off their chairs screaming. It was so exciting! She wanted it so bad!"
Also in the semi-final Annie had 34 assists four kills, three assisted blocks, an ace, and six digs. She fed off her teammates and with her excitement really pushed the team to win after losing 13-25 in the first game and will it all! Amaral added "Annie led this team with heart. She was a true captain with her leadership by example, her heart and spirit in every game and practice."
Amaral later added "Let me put things into perspective on how each girl played this weekend for the Lady Knights: Annie had a total of 84 assist, 13 kills, 33 digs, two blocks, three assisted blocks and four aces Paula had nine assists, 40 kills, 60 digs, four blocks, an assisted block, and nine service aces, Janny Cabrera (Providence, RI) had one assist, 31 kills, 51 digs, 11 solo blocks, one assisted block, and four aces I was so blessed to have such an amazing hitter this year. She played lights out this weekend and would play some great defense. It is rare to have a middle hitter who also plays defense like a Libero. I can't wait to see how much she grows next season as an outside hitter. Meagan Del Re (Coral Springs, FL) had a total of one assist, 11 kills, 10 digs, five blocks, three assisted blocks, and three aces. Let me tell you when this kid gets a kill or block she gets so excited and in one single moment she can pump her team up for the game."
She continued "Jenna Ayala (Paterson, NJ) had nine kills, a dig, five solo blocks, and two assisted blocks. I had a conversation before our semi-final game and told Jenna that I needed her to bring it today. We needed a right side that would shut down their big hitters down and let me tell you she played the best game of her life! During Monroe their offense was so much fast than we have practiced, as coaches we adjusted Jenna during a time out and the play right after the time out Jenna got the biggest solo block with their strongest hitter. We all screamed with excitement! I was so proud. Chelsea O'Connor (Pawtucket, RI) had an assist, seven kills, 38 digs, and four aces. She played lights out in the back row. There were some hard hitters at this tourney and I loved it when she would run almost split to get the ball and make a perfect pass to Annie. She didn't let anything drop without her body hitting the floor. Haley Greenwood (Goldsboro, NC) had an assist, 34 digs. She was my leader in the back row during the semi-finals. She would make these amazing digs with some of the hardest hits. Zorymar Nieves (Pawtucket, RI) added 15 digs and four aces! She had some great pick-ups when we needed it the most. I am so proud of whom she is and the player she became. This year was an amazing season as a coach to see all of my players grow to the players they are. You can't coach passion and let me tell you the one thing these girls we not lacking was passion. I am so proud of you girls and thank you for such an amazing season!"

Watch 'The Bachelor' Ben Flajnik Almost Swallow Women Whole
'The Bachelor: Women Tell All' is tonight. We know. You don't watch 'The Bachelor' because you enjoy it. Your wife/girlfriend makes you watch it in the hopes that one day you'll take them on a date as magical as Belize or wherever else ABC can get a "free trip for a two-hour long commercial" deal.
Anyway, after hours of viewing this season we noticed three things 1) the women are all hot but crazy 2) Chris Harrison probably has the greatest gig on TV (besides the ferret on top of Trump's head that helps him decide who to fire) and 3) Ben Flajnik kisses like a beached blow fish.
'The Bachelor' Ben Flajnik is quite possibly the most disgusting kisser in the history of ever. So disgusting, even men are forced to look away, and we'll watch even the most perverted stuff.
Enjoy this montage of Ben's most disgusting kisses from 'The Bachelor.' You won't enjoy it. Trust us.
BTW, Adding "nom" sound effects to the make out scenes makes them 10 times more interesting/hilarious. Also, whoever gets paid to play Spanish guitar for the show must have the ultimate job security.

This lemon pull-apart coffee cake is made of yeasted layers of eggy dough sandwiched together between a sweet, buttery filling made with fragrant lemon and orange zest. Once out of the oven, the warm soft coffee cake is brushed with a tangy lemon cream cheese icing. A perfect breakfast or brunch treat.
Lemon and cream cheese have long been classic companions in American baking, and this fun-to-assemble, sweet-tart filled coffee cake makes it easy to see why. Showcasing the lively flavors of fresh citrus, the sweet, buttery filling is made with fluffy, fragrant lemon and orange zest. The warm loaf is brushed with a zippy cream cheese icing, whose tangy flavor marries marvelously with the sunny taste of citrus. Enjoy a slice of this pull-apart coffee cake whenever you need a pick-me-up.–Flo Braker
LC Huzzahs! Note
Still not convinced? Here's what folks are saying about this sweetly tart, citrusy cake: "It was absolutely the best thing I've put in my mouth in a long time." "Incredible." "Perfect." "Huzzahs!"
Lemon Pull-Apart Coffee Cake
- Quick Glance
- Makes one 9-by-5-inch cake; 14 servings
- For the pull-apart sweet dough
- About 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 envelope)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (2 oz)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- For the lemon filling
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest (from 2 to 3 lemons, preferably organic)
- 1 tablespoons finely grated orange zest, preferably organic
- 2 ounces unsalted butter, melted
- For the cream cheese icing
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Make the pull-apart sweet dough
- 1. Mix the dry ingredients: Stir together 2 cups (9 ounces) of the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- 2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat just until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat, add the water, and set aside until warm (120 to 130°F [49 to 54°C]), about 1 minute. Add the vanilla extract.
- 3. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together: Pour the milk mixture over the flour-yeast mixture and, using a rubber spatula, mix until the dry ingredients are evenly moistened. Attach the bowl to the mixer, and fit the mixer with the paddle attachment. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, mixing jjust until incorporated after each addition. Stop the mixer, add 1/2 cup (2 1/4 ounces) flour, and resume mixing on low speed until the dough is smooth, 30 to 45 seconds. Add 2 more tablespoons flour and mix on medium speed until the dough is smooth, soft, and slightly sticky, about 45 seconds.
- 4. Knead the pull-apart dough: Sprinkle a work surface with 1 tablespoon flour and turn the dough onto the flour. Knead gently until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky, about 1 minute, adding an additional 1 to 2 tablespoons flour only if the dough is unworkably sticky. Place the dough in a large bowl, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and let the dough rise in a warm place (about 70°F [21°C]) until doubled in size, 45 to 60 minutes. Press the dough gently with a fingertip. If the indentation remains, the dough is ready for the next step.
- Make the lemon filling
- 5. Make the citrus sugar: While the dough is rising, in a small bowl, mix together the sugar, lemon zest, and orange zest. Set aside. (The sugar draws out moisture from the zests to create a sandy-wet consistency, so don't be alarmed when you see this.)
- Assemble the coffee cake
- 6. Ready the oven: Adjust the oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan.
- 7. Shape and cut the dough: Gently deflate the dough. On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough into a 20-by-12-inch rectangle with a short edge facing you. Using a pastry brush, spread the melted butter generously over the dough. Cut the dough crosswise into 5 strips, each about 12 by 4 inches. (A pizza cutter is helpful here.) Sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons of the zest-sugar mixture over 1 of these buttered strips. Top with a second strip and sprinkle it with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the zest-sugar mixture. Repeat with the remaining strips and zest-sugar mixture, ending with a stack of 5 rectangles. Work carefully when adding the crumbly zest filling, or it will fall off when you have to lift the stacked pastry later.
- 8. Fit the dough into the pan: Slice the stack crosswise through the 5 layers to create 6 equal strips, each about 4 by 2 inches. Fit these layered strips into the prepared loaf pan, cut edges up and side by side. (While there is plenty of space on either side of the 6 strips widthwise in the pan, fitting the strips lengthwise is tight. But that's fine because the spaces between the dough and the sides of the pan fill in during baking.) Loosely cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place (70 °F [21°C]) until puffy and almost doubled in size, 30 to 50 minutes. Press the dough gently with a fingertip. If the indentation remains, the dough is ready for baking.
- 9. Bake the cake: Bake the coffee cake until the top is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Make the cream cheese icing
- 10. Make the lemon icing: In a medium bowl with a rubber spatula, vigorously mix the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the milk and lemon juice until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- 11. Remove the coffee cake from the pan: Tilt and rotate the pan while gently tapping it on a counter to release the cake sides. Invert a wire rack on top of the coffee cake, invert the cake onto the rack, and carefully lift off the pan. Invert another rack on top, invert the cake so it is right side up, and remove the original rack.
- 12. Ice the cake: Slip a sheet of waxed paper under the rack to catch any drips from the icing. Using a pastry brush, coat the top of the warm cake with the icing to glaze it. (Cover and refrigerate the leftover icing for another use. It will keep for up to 2 days.)
- 13. Serve the coffee cake warm or at room temperature: To serve, you can pull apart the layers, or you can cut the cake into 1-inch-thick slices on a slight diagonal with a long, serrated knife. If you decide to cut the cake, don't attempt to cut it until it is almost completely cool.

If you are the CEO of a company, you expect to have most if not all the power to make decisions. It's down to you to drive the business, to solve problems and delegate where necessary. You're in charge and you have the power to hire and fire.
However, the Chief Executive of the FA, while technically at the pinnacle of the FA's structure, appears to have almost no power at all. All the power gets diffused through the various board members, council members and all of their vested interests. This is why Chief Exec Ian Watmore quit this week. This was a man who had worked in government so not unused to the machinations of big political machines but he'd had a gut full of it after 9 months.
It's hard to actually know what the FA does. If you asked most fans they wouldn't be able to tell you. Apart form dishing out fines for squabbling managers and players, what do they do?
In reality, the FA is supposed to be the governing body of English football, overseeing the game from top to bottom. However, at a professional level, the FA is all but powerless. It is the Premier League's bitch; unable to stand up to the biggest, most monied organisation. Below that the Football League fights its own corner so well that clubs dropping out of the Premier League it will be receiving even more money and for four years instead of the current two.
So what is the FA doing? Well they wasted a ton of money on the whole Wembley fiasco – a money pit if there ever was one. They are making a ham-fisted job of the 2018 bid. They are ridden from top to bottom with vested interests all fighting their own corners – often merely hanging on to a morsel of perceived power for its own sake. Meanwhile football continues without them.
No one epitomizes this bloated redundancy more than Dave Richards. Richards – a knight of the realm for what it's worth – is a walking, talking conflict of interest. Somehow – and we must assume it is simply through some form of old boys act, is chairman of the FA Premier League, member of the Football Association Board, chairman of the FA's international committee, president of the European Professional Football Leagues organization, chairman of UEFA's Professional Football Committee. Blimey.
Now that looks like a man who is keen to acquire titles. Those jobs either require very little effort or he is not committed to doing them comprehensively. Or possibly both. When Ian Watmore resigned this week, the rumours were all about his inability to work with Richards who, again it is rumoured, simply blocks any moves to change the organization which provides him with an infinite gravy train. But whether that's true or not, Richards should not be on both the board of the FA and chairmen of the Premier League. It compromises both positions. Who does he side with in a dispute between those sides?
The FA should be fighting for football for us, the fans. It should not be craven to money. It should be protecting the English game for England fans and for every person in this country who loves football and wants to watch and play it. But it doesn't do that. The Premier League and Football League and all the other minor league organizations do that for themselves. The Premier League likes an ineffective FA so it can do what it wants when it wants without protest. But the lower leagues and the non-professional part of the game needs a strong FA to help them, especially financially. But as the chairman of The Northern League, the second oldest league in the world, said this week – they are simply negligent and have done little to help the money in the top flights cascade down to the lower levels
Football will kick off this weekend and thousands of games will be played regardless of whether the FA have a Chief Executive or not and on one will care. That's because the FA is an irrelevancy; merely an old boys club to tour the world on a permanent freebie, feeling important and doing exactly nothing. It's a disgrace.

Demi Lovato Dedicates 'Angels Among Us' to Victims of Newtown School Shootings
Demi Lovato showed she's an angel among us when she dedicated her moving song 'Angels Among Us' to the victims of the Newtown, C.T. school shootings.
In a new video, Lovato's song opens with a silent dedication to the six slain adults and twenty children from the Sandy Hook massacre. The message read, "We can never imagine what the families in Newtown, C.T. are experiencing right now. And while there is nothing we can do to replace their loss, we can stand together and support them during this difficult time. This song is in honor of those angels we lost on Dec. 14."
The lyrics of 'Angels Among Us' are particularly appropriate in the wake of the tragedy. "When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees / There's always been someone there to come along and comfort me / A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand / A phone call from a friend, just to say I understand / And ain't it kind of funny that at the dark end of the road / Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope / Oh I believe there are angels among us / Sent down to us from somewhere up above / They come to you and me in our darkest hours / To show us how to live, to teach us how to give / To guide us with the light of love."
Lovato, wearing a leopard print dress, black motorcycle jacket, Lovato was accompanied by a pianist and an acoustic guitar. The set was decorated and lit with white candles, and Lovato was clearly touched. While her voice is typically the strongest of the post-Disney set, she was so overcome with emotion that at some points, it actually broke.
The performance is to raise awareness of wearenewtown.org, an organization designed to fundraise for the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. The 'X Factor' judge delivered a rendition that was both timely and touching.

Vintage Heath Cup & Saucer Set - Butter & Sand
Heath Ceramics was founded in 1948 in Sausalito, CA by Edith Heath who was a talented ceramicist with a simple goal of making good things for good people. Over the years she pioneered advances in glaze development and a technique of single kiln firing at lower temperatures to save energy and create a durable product that stands the test of time. Vintage Heath Ceramics are part of the permanent collection at the MOMA in San Francisco, displaying mid century iconic design with a Scandinavian influence.
This is a beautiful set of four Coupe style teacups and saucers in the discontinued Sand & Butter glaze. The set is in great handmade vintage condition with a slight natural variation that is intrinsic to this product as the glazes have taken slightly differently to each cup and saucer.
Cup 3"x3"
Saucer Diameter 6"
