Entryways: How to Stash Your Stuff
With clutter it's often the small things that matter, and in the entryway they tend to defy efforts at neatness. That's why you need to turn to dedicated storage units to help keep little things from becoming big frustrations. — Merola Tahamtan [via Scott Roewer]
Merola goes on to note that we can often repurpose thing we already own — "decorative bowls, tins, boxes, and bins" — to store things by our entryways. But here are some wall-mounted products especially designed to help with entryways.
The combination coat hook and storage shelf shown above is called the Hang Up; it comes in white and black. It seems like a neat way to store jackets and such along with all the other stuff like mail and keys. [via Better Living Through Design]
Plank is a "small floating shelf with a magnetic underside" — good if you need a place for just your keys and something small, like your phone or your wallet. [via Shoebox Dwelling] If you like this idea but want a larger shelf, see the magnetic key ring holder and shelf from Meriwether of Montana. [via Better Living Through Design]
Another product that uses magnets to hold the keys is Elephant, from Board by Design. The company also has a rectangular-shaped product called Blokkey. You can buy these through YLiving or through Board By Design's Etsy store. [via Better Living Through Design]
And if you like the idea of a small shelf like the Plank, here's another design called the Key Shelf.
The Butler by Micklish is a pricier option than the others — but it sure is gorgeous. It's specifically designed to hold your smartphone, along with your glasses, keys, wallet, etc. "The backside includes a routed out section for your charging cord and extension cord in case your mounting area on the wall is not next to a outlet." [via Cool Mom Tech and Gizmodo]
And let's conclude with another product that provides a place to hang a coat as well as a place to stash some smaller items: the Wallter Slack Rack, available in four different colors. [via Uncrate]

TinaAtHome, the makers of the Plank say: "The magnet is on the bottom only and does not affect anything placed on the shelf." But I understand your concern.

text: Dario Silva in action against Paraguay Silva suffered an exposed fracture of the leg after the accident on Montevideo's main seafront avenue on Sunday morning. "It's the condition of the leg which worries us," Mario Cancela, head of the intensive unit at the private hospital said. "It's a very complex injury and a real risk." Silva, who played in England, Spain and Italy is currently without a contract. The 33-year-old striker began his career with local side Defensor Sporting before joining more fashionable Penarol. He moved to Europe in 1995 to play for Italy's Cagliari before moving onto Espanyol, Malaga and Sevilla in Spain as well as Portsmouth. Silva made 49 appearances for Uruguay between 1995 and 2005, scoring 14 goals, and played at the 2002 World Cup. His last international appearance was in the World Cup qualifying playoff at home to Australia last year. SOURCE: AFP

Just a few more reasons to turn off (or at least limit) the TV
A study has been released that shows that children who watch a lot of TV, play a lot of video games, and spend a lot of time surfing the web are more likely to be in for lots of health problems and compromising behaviors. Namely, obesity, smoking, and early sexual activity.
Who studied it? Researchers from the U.S. National Institutes of Health, Yale University and the California Pacific Medical Center worked together on this large-scale study.
What did they study? Sifting through 173 studies since 1980, these researchers analyzed how exposure to different media sources impacts the physical health of children and adolescents. This was one of the largest assessments in this area done to date.
What did they look at? These (mainly U.S.) studies, typically largely on TV. However, some also looked at the impact of video games, films, music, and computer and Internet use. Of these, 75% found that increased media viewing was correlated with negative health outcomes for children.
What was the major finding? Young people who are exposed to more media are more likely to become obese, start smoking and begin earlier sexual activity than their peers who spend less time in front of a screen. They also found statistical correlations with high media exposure and low academic achievement, drug use, and alcohol use.
"The fact that it was probably more a matter of quantity than actual content is also a concern. We have a media-saturated life right now in the 21st century. And reducing the number of hours of exposure is going to be a big issue." — Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, NIH bioethicist
What's this about early sexual activity and media exposure? In the study, a whopping 13 of 14 studies that evaluated sexual behavior in young people found an association between media exposure and earlier initiation of sexual behavior.
You may remember the recent RAND study that showed that teens who watch more sexually themed TV are more likely to have a higher risk of teen pregnancy.
What's this about obesity and media exposure? There have been connections between obesity and media previously—we've heard explanations such as children tending to mindlessly eat (and eat high calorie food) in front of the TV. We've heard that children who are watching a lot of TV also are not outside running around or participating in some kind of physical activity. One study cited in this report found that children who spent more than eight hours watching TV per week at age 3 were more likely to be obese at 7 than their peers who watched less than 8 hours of TV per week. Research also shows that many U.S. children, even those at toddler age, watch far more than children elsewhere and far more than is recommended.
Let's also not forget, that a lot of the hyper-sexualized (ultra-thin) media exposure has been linked to poor body image and pressure to grow up too fast in children and teens as well.
"The average parent doesn't understand that if you plop your kids down in front of the TV or the computer for five hours a day, it can change their brain development, it can make them fat, and it can lead them to get involved in risky sexual activity at a young age," –Jim Steyer, the chief executive of Common Sense Media, financer of the study.
SO, what do you think? Do you agree with Mr. Steyer? Is there another problem here? Speak your mind!

Some of the world's leading paleontologists are attempting to re-create a dinosaur — or something a lot like a dinosaur — by starting with a chicken embryo and working backward to engineer a "chickenosaurus" or "dinochicken," project leader Jack Horner told Discovery News.
Such "reverse evolution" has been successfully performed in mice and flies, but those studies focused on re-introducing just a few bygone traits. The dinochicken project instead has the goal of bringing back multiple dinosaur characteristics, such as a tail, teeth and forearms, by changing the levels of regulatory proteins that have evolved to suppress these characteristics in birds.
"Birds are dinosaurs, so technically we're making a dinosaur out of a dinosaur," said Horner, a professor of paleontology at Montana State University and curator of paleontology at the Museum of the Rockies.
"The only reason we're using chickens, instead of some other bird, is that the chicken genome has been mapped, and chickens have already been exhaustively studied," added Horner.
He and colleague James Gorman, deputy science editor of The New York Times, have just co-authored a new book, "How to Build a Dinosaur: Extinction Doesn't Have to Be Forever," which describes the project in detail.
Although the plan seems more like a page out of the fictional "Jurassic Park," Horner assured it is real and is already underway.
"A number of people in a number of different places are moving forward with the project slowly and carefully," he said.
One such researcher is Hans Laarson of McGill University in Montreal. Laarson and his team are analyzing the genes involved in tail development and researching ways of manipulating chicken embryos in order to "awaken the dinosaur within."
By bringing back a tail to a chicken, Laarson and his colleagues will promote growth of the spinal cord. In the future, Horner believes this work could lead to medical advancements that will benefit humans.
"The growth of the tail is tied to the growth of the spinal cord, and spinal cord birth defects in humans are a major medical problem," he explained. "Learning more about what prompts and stops tail growth could give us important insights about serious human birth defects."
Deadly dinosOther medical breakthroughs could also occur, he said, since "genomes made of genes made of switches" function similarly in all animals, including humans.
There is no danger of the proposed dinochicken escaping and populating the world with dinosaurs, Horner said, since only the chicken's development, and not its genome, would have been affected. If the creature did somehow escape and could mate, the result would just be a regular chicken.
If a chicken embryo does not grow properly in the lab, or if it could not "survive comfortably," Horner said, "we would never let it hatch."
Kevin Padian, a professor of integrative biology at the University of California at Berkeley and a curator at the UC Museum of Paleontology, told Discovery News he supports the project.
"The important thing that Jack and Jim are saying here is that there is a lot of information stored in our genes that we don't use — genes that determine features that evolution has suppressed, for various reasons," Padian said.
"We now have the tools to 'reverse-engineer' some of those constraints and produce traits that look a bit more like those ancient features," he added. "This tells us how genetics, development and evolution are related, so it's tremendously important."
When and if the dinochicken is created, Horner looks forward to bringing it out on a leash during lectures.
"We're always looking for novel ways to get the general public interested in science," he said, "and you have to admit, it would be better than a slide show for demonstrating evolution."

Cancer program
Sara's Story
Meet Sara. When she found out she had cancer her employer's response blew her away.
Cambridge resident, Christena Hudson, never imagined her baby would be rushed into life-saving surgery shortly after birth. But that's exactly what happened to her son, Alex.
Alex was born with a severe intestinal blockage. If it had ruptured, he could have died.
The surgery was a success and the blockage was removed but shortly after, Christena and her partner, Greg, received news that would change their lives forever. Alex was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a fatal genetic disease affecting his respiratory and digestive systems. He would need care for the rest of his life.
For five weeks, Christena stayed in Hamilton, away from Greg and her oldest son, Nickolaus, so she could be near her newborn baby.
When he was ready, Alex was transferred to Grand River Hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) where he would complete his recovery. After discharge, he was referred to Grand River Hospital's cystic fibrosis clinic as an outpatient. Knowing they would be able to go home and get the care Alex needed in his community meant so much to Christena and her family.
Christena recalls the first time they met with Alex's health care team. They went over every detail of the treatment plan and what the family could expect.
Children with cystic fibrosis are at risk of being underweight because their bodies block enzymes which provide the nutrients they need to grow and develop. Lynn Rogers, a clinical dietitian, is part of the health care team for cystic fibrosis clinic patients. She guides families through nutritional information so they can ensure their child maintains healthy growth and get the enzymes and nutrients they need throughout their life. "Parents feel incredibly reassured knowing we are here to help them at every step," said Lynn.
As a mother of two, Christena appreciates the support from all the staff as they adjust to their new lifestyle. "The staff here are amazing. They listen to my fears and concerns and go above and beyond when they don't have to," said Christena. "It's made the whole experience easier to deal with and when we visit, I know Alex is in good hands."
Today, Alex is almost two years old. He is one of 25 children who visit Grand River Hospital's cystic fibrosis clinic for monthly appointments. During each appointment Alex and his mom meet one on one with each member of the health care team, which consists of a physician, nurse, dietitian, social worker, respiratory therapist, pharmacist and physiotherapist, to discuss medication, diet, exercise and general health concerns. By meeting with each expert, Christena is reassured that her child is living a full and healthy life with cystic fibrosis.
This is the excellent and compassionate care young patients and their families can expect when they visit Grand River Hospital, the largest provider of hospital–based care for children in the Waterloo Wellington area. Parents, like Christena, appreciate that there are specialized services for children and experts in cystic fibrosis. Since children, like Alex, will live with this disease throughout their lives it is important they get the care they need close to home from an early age.

My longest and most pressing dream is to travel Africa. I don't go a day without imagining what I would see, what I'd eat, who I would speak to, dance with and every wonder I could experience on my continent of richness.
The other day, lusting at festival calendars in Southern Africa and thinking about the music and cultural festivals I want to attend this year – like Afrika Burn, Oppikoppi festival, The Cape Town Jazz Festival, Bushfire festival, Lake of the Stars – I started to cast my mind to the festivals that happen across the continent.
So, as one does, I got lost on the interwebs and lived vicariously through google, blogs, flickr, and everyone else's experience of these festival.
Hours of clicking, mouth agape, eyes widening, hope fluttering I was inconsolably enveloped by wanderlust. I may not be able to afford to go to all these places right now, but why not experience them anyway? Then the idea of sharing some of these festivals here, as a way of putting it out into the world, was birthed.
So every month, I will post some interesting festival guides and we can live vicariously through the internet together, until one day it is possible for me to attend all the wonders and give you first hand accounts. Or maybe you'll go, and tell me all about them Welcome to Wanderlust Afrique, February 2014 edition.
1. Sauti Za Busara – Tanzania – 13 – 16 February
Music festival that takes place annually in February on the streets of one the world's oldest cities; Stone Town, Zanzibar. In Swahili, "sauti za busara" means "sounds of wisdom". Outside of the live African music element from various artists, there are street parades, fashion shows, artists exhibitions, open air cinema and of course all the other amazing tourist things you can do in Zanzibar, including swimming with dolphins. The festival celebrates its eleventh year in existence and it enjoys the prestige of having been listed as part of Top 25 best festivals. They say it is the "friendliest festival on the planet" – which is believable from my of experience of East African people being kind, soft spoken, welcoming and so full of life. I imagine you'd experience an explosion of cultural celebration through music and other activities, also, Zanzibar is just beautiful, magical and rich in history
2. Up the Creek – Western Cape, South Africa – 30 Jan – 2 Feb 2014
I've never even imagined a water festival. From what I can tell, festival goers float about on a river and watch live bands on different stages, under the sky. I wonder if it as crazy as that sounds. Anyway, there's comedy and music, over four days, three stages and probably a lot of sunburn. The uniqueness of this festival is that it is about the river. One of the stages is basically a floating device, the bar and some food stalls (amazing) and with that, there would obviously be a competition for the most creative floating device you can put together – if you so wish. This year's line-up has about 30 artists from rock, to trance, to hip hop and more. When you're done being a water baby, camp sites available to dry out and rest. So, float on to Breede River, Swellendam and splash away the weekend with laughs and music in a laid-back, no frills, no VIP setting.
3. Festival on the Niger – Segou, Mali – 5 – 9 Feb 2014
Festival on the Niger is a traditional and contemporary live music event that takes place in Mali city of Segou, with a stage set up just on the shore of the Niger River. It's a three day festival that is not only nightly music concerts, but also day time activities including showcases of traditional arts and crafts, there are also theatre performances and film screenings. Each year there is a festival theme that will be focus of the conferences, exhibitions and performances and this year's is "Cultural Diversity and National Unity". The festival was started as a way to celebrate the richness of cultural and creative expression in Mali and the region.
4. Eyo Festival – Lagos, Nigeria
This is one of the most confusing festivals I've come across. A few years ago, I visited Lagos and the streets of Victoria Island had remnants of some sort of street bash, and the driver who had picked me up from the airport tried to explain it to me and I just couldn't comprehend how it worked and what was happening, but interested nonetheless to find out. And so I read, that this is a Yoruba traditional festival where masqueraded dancers come out to the streets in a somewhat Carnival manner and a manifestation of traditional spirits. I'd seen a statue that had been wrapped in white sheets and all sorts of stick embellishments, and this is how the dancers also dress. It is said that what Samba is to Brazil the Eyo is to Lagos. The fanfare and processions are open to tourists on one of the days. I think this one has to be seen to be fully understood.
There is no set date for the festival, but found somewhere it would take place in the first week of February this year. Do correct me if I'm wrong
"A full week before the festival (always a Sunday), the 'senior' eyo group, the Adimu (identified by a black broad-rimmed hat), goes public with a staff ("when this happens nothing on earth can stop the festival from taking place the coming Saturday"). Each of the four other 'important' ones—Laba (Red), Oniko (yellow), Ologede (Green), Agere (Purple)— in this very order takes their turns from Monday to Thursday without fail. This strictness with cadre and other old established rules before, during and after the celebration is what perhaps appeals the most about the eyo heritage. "
That's it for now.
SOME OTHER EVENTS IN FEBRUARY, closer to home:
- Jozi Film Festival – 21 – 23 Feb – Johannesburg
- Stellenbosch Wine Festival – 24 – 2 Feb – Western Cape
- Sandton Craft Beer fair – 8 Feb – Johannesburg
- J & B Met – 1 February – Cape Town

Story and images by Erich Eichhorn (ISN)
Erich Eichhorn (ISN) – Canada has yet to solve the USA's rugby play as they suffered their first loss of the 2014 America's Rugby Championships 16-3 to the USA Wednesday night for the second consecutive time at Westhills Stadium.
Canada's Nick Blevins chases down a USA team player during day two action Wednesday night – Erich Eichhorn image (www.allsportmedia.ca)
The USA would mark the board first, evidently looking to take advantage of any open door for points, putting the ball down for the first try of the game and the early lead. With the missed conversion the USA would take a 5-0 lead. Canada would try to answer back on the foot of Gordy McRorie who would fail to spit the uprights when his long distance penalty kick would hook wide left to keep Canada off the board. The USA would add three more points to their lead when, at the twenty minute mark, USA's Adam Siddall would kick an approximately 325 meter kick, lifting the USA to a 8-0 lead halfway through the first half.

Canada would struggle for possession of the ball, not able to win their share of line-outs most of the first half, would find themselves facing the long end of the field most of the opening half. A strong Canadian scrum would knock the USA back, keeping the America side from adding to their lead. Canadian Flanker, Evan Olmstead, would have an especially strong game, sending notice to the USA with some bone jarring hits to help prevent the American advance.

With time running down in the first half, Canada would dodge a late score by USA's Tim Maupin. Maupin would mishandle a loose ball on a clear breakaway, loosing ball through the back of the try zone to close out the half up 8-0.
It would take until about the twelfth minute mark of the second half before Canada's McRorie would find the mark, putting up three penalty points for Canada to close the gap 8-3. Canada would loose Aaron Flagg and Patrick Parfrey a minute later to injury and would have to retire for the remainder of the game. In a ball handling error, Canada would give up the ball to USA 'sTim Stanfield, who would run the ball down the sideline for his second try of the game to put his side up 13-3 at the sixty-three minute mark to all but put the game away.
Gordy McRorie would provide Canada's only scoring through 80 minutes as USA would defeat Canada 16-3 -Erich Eichhorn image (www.allsportmedia.ca)
To add to the home team's woes, Canada's Ryan Hamilton, perhaps a little too eager to the ball, would be yellow carded at about the sixty-eight minute mark, forcing Canada to play a man short most of the remainder of the game. The USA would add a late three points with less than ten minutes remaining, again off the foot of Adam Siddall to give the USA a final 16-3 victory over Canada 'A' team.

Canada will now play undefeated Argentina Sunday to close out the tournament. In earlier action, Argentina defeated Uruguay without much resistance by a score 31-9. Uruguay's scrum half Duran Alejo would win "Man of the Match" honours for his play in the game. Uruguay will now play USA in the early game Sunday at Westhills Stadium.

The latch and the law: Know your boobies' rights!
Posted by Theresa Gerritsen on January 1, 2013 · Leave a Comment
Happy 2013 everyone. Much love from our little Gerritsen family to you.
Looking for some light new years' reading? How about a compilation of US breastfeeding laws? Some of them are wonderfully worded including this one from Georgia:
Ga. Code § 31-1-9 (1999) states that the breastfeeding of a baby is an important and basic act of nurture which should be encouraged in the interests of maternal and child health and allows a mother to breastfeed her baby in any location where the mother and baby are otherwise authorized to be. (1999 SB 29, Act 304; 2002 SB 221)
P.s. I'll look for some international laws and add them in the coming weeks.

My company's latest XBox Live game update has finally hit the virtual shelves!
It's been updated with the ability to put your Microsoft XBox avatar in the game as the lead character, and multiplayer is crazy fun with a lot of different avatars.
There's also a whole new tileset and group of characters in a new storyline (Tales of Kaloki), and since it's set in space, it changes the game considerably with different tactical attacks and options. It's almost a whole new game for a whopping $3 in MS points. The multiplayer in that mode is a blast as well.
I don't just say that because I did a significant amount of art on it either. That's just a bonus.
Of course, the irony of me promoting a fun game that I'd buy without reserve, while not having a machine to play it on, is not lost on me. At least I can play it on occasion at the office and actually get paid for it. (Well, OK, only while I'm technically testing it, but hey, I'll take what I can get. It's a fun game!)

Elizabeth Drescher's recent tweet, "Angry, Hateful, Demented white people are really bringing me down #Aurora#ChickFilA #OakCreek" seems to indicate her angst. She writes a brilliant article at Religion Dispatches talking about the link between masculinity and mass violence. Drescher is the fundamental question regarding the recent spate of mass murders in America: What is the common denominator?
There is a connection to whiteness, most mass murderers are white, but not all by any stretch. That's not the common denominator. Most are Christian, but the same problem arises: many are not Christian. Many are mentally ill, this seems to be a very important factor, but again there are many who are absolutely sane, just angry or convinced that violence is their only recourse.
Drescher's conclusion is: "by and large the common denominator in mass killing is gender; the intimate enemy [the killer] is almost always a man."
Drescher rightly points out that a major player in the hegemony of the masculine is religion, which in the case of American Society means Christianity.
"we cannot begin to address the culture of violence that is literally exploding all around us without acknowledging that "manning up" in American culture too often involves actions aimed at the subordination of others—women, children, nature—to the will of a man who, it is assumed, embodies the will of God. These often religiously informed, institutionalized, and naturalized versions ofmasculinity play no small part in the continuum of violence that moves from the domestic sphere to the public arena.
As gender scholar Raewyn Connell has noted: "There are many causes of violence, including dispossession, poverty, greed, nationalism, racism, and other forms of inequality, bigotry and desire. Gender dynamics are by no means the whole story. Yet given the concentration of weapons and the practices of violence among men, gender patterns appear to be strategic. Masculinities are the forms in which many dynamics of violence take shape."

text: An estimated 300 illegal immigrants arrived in Israel every day in 2009, Israeli officials said [File: EPA] Israel's cabinet is expected to vote on whether to build a facility to hold the thousands of illegal immigrants who arrive every year mainly from Africa.The proposal, which is likely to be put to the vote on Sunday, is designed to provide a centre where the basic needs of the migrants can be met, but they will not be allowed to work, Israeli officials said.Eyal Gabai, the director-general of the office of Binyamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, said the facility would provide the Africans with food, shelter and health care. It was aimed at trying to stem a flow of illegal migrants, which he said had topped 35,000 in the past few years. "Israel is trying to fight a situation in which the state, its citizens, are vulnerable to infiltrators who enter with economic motives", many of whom seek work illegally, he said in an interview with Israel Radio.'Not a jail'Israeli officials have not said how many migrants already in Israel would be sent to the facility, which is expected to be built at or near the site of a former prison camp for Palestinians."We aren't jailing or distancing them," Gabai said. "They can have a good time, eat and drink. Not everyone who arrives in Israel must be allowed to work here." He said Israel was seeking to avoid "unreasonable action" such as deporting migrants, which could put their lives in danger."This is a huge issue here and one that is getting bigger month by month," Al Jazeera's Sherine Tadros, reporting from Jerusalem, said. "On one hand, [Israel] can't be sending refugees and asylum seekers back because of their legal obligations under international conventions. "On the other hand, coming up with an asylum and immigration policy may mean having to absorb tens of thousands of these non-Jewish refugees, threatening the Jewish character of the state."The issue of controlling migration is controversial in Israel, a country founded on immigration after the World War Two in 1948. Jewish newcomersIsrael welcomes Jewish newcomers, most of whom receive automatic citizenship. It has brought in tens of thousands of Ethiopian Jews, including many rescued from famine in the early 1980s.But Israel's Population and Immigration Authority says more than 34,000 people have crossed into the country illegally this year. In 2009, an average of 300 crossed the border every month.Ilan Gillon, a politician in the left-wing Meretz party, has called the holding centre plan "shocking". He urged the government to act more humanely and issue work permits to at least some of the migrants.Most of the migrants arrive from Sudan or Eritrea by travelling through Egypt. Israel has recently begun work on a barrier along 140km of the 250km border to prevent people crossing from the Sinai desert region illegally.The project is expected to take over a year to complete at a cost of about $370m, the Israeli defence ministry said.A barrier that would secure the entire border still requires government approval and could see the cost of the project rise to more than $1 billion.

I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am to be doing this. As I drift out of poetry — indeed, out of writing generally —– I become even more convinced of the importance of writing, and of the writing of poetry in particular. It is, I think, a foundational human activity, civilisation's very cornerstone. As the world becomes more literal, more technical, less subtle, super-prosaic, the need for the beauty, uncertainty, enigma — the very shimmer — of poetry comes to assume ever greater import. Poetry might not save the world — but poetry is the reason why the world is worth saving.
That, I agree, is a somewhat startling claim. Here's what I mean by it. We who value poetry might abandon the writing of it as a formal activity, narrowly defined — as I appear to be doing. But we should, all of us, live lives of poetry. I came to this conclusion last Saturday, when I made a political speech in Launceston. Someone came up to me afterwards and said, 'I have never heard politics sound so much like a poetry reading' — and I thought: 'Yes!' That could be the greatest compliment I've ever received. It is more important, I decided, in these perilous, spirit-deadening times in which we live, to embody poetry in your person than it is to write poetry.
But of course, such a stark distinction can't really be sustained. We can only imagine how it might be to live poetically because poets have taken the trouble to write poetry.
What is needed is for the common view that poetry is an arcane, ultimately ephemeral activity to dissolve and slip away. It didn't help, here in these benighted times, that our nation's leading publishers decided, all in the same year and apparently without reference to each other, to opt out of poetry publication — an act of cultural treason, in my view. It was certainly a body blow. We were rescued by the democracy of the net and by a courageous few publishers of the small and middle range who filled the void that should never have been there in the first place. They deserve gongs — especially the smallest of the small, those who, with almost no resources and with scant or no assistance from the public purse, keep the pure, poetic heart of literary expression beating.
They deserve gongs. And so, say I — arise, Sir Peter Macrow!
Let's talk about blue giraffe. It is a physically pleasing object. It feels good and gentle to the touch. It is simple, dignified and stylish — not unlike Sir Peter himself. Ninety-five percent of Tasmanians will see it on the counter here and will deem it a humble little enterprise of the fringes. That ninety-five percent will be wrong. Here, in blue giraffe — not there on that table of the latest big-publisher releases — lies the heart of Australian writing. Without blue giraffe and its like publications — Famous Reporter, for example (I see you over there Ralph — arise, Sir Ralph) — literature becomes a mere matter of grubby commerce, hyped-up packets of puff, soap powder for the fluffy intelligentsia.
So. Never stop, Peter. Never stop.
The featured poet in blue giraffe 4 is Karen Knight. Karen's poetry slides through your consciousness like watered silk on skin. Hers is a talent to die for. Her work is thematically diverse, imagistically perfect, beautifully composed on the page, beautiful to the ear. She neither understates nor overstates, she is not excessively spare, but in her poems nothing is ever surplus to requirements, not a single word. It is ridiculous, I know, in the context of poetry, but I find myself thinking as I read Karen's work — that's perfect.
But Karen is here with us, and I'm hoping we might hear from her shortly. I'm going to speak of some of the other poems that Peter has gathered for this superb edition. What I say now will, I know, reveal more about me than anything else, because each reader of blue giraffe 4 will find their own themes and patterns, and these will accord with their own preoccupations. But this is what I saw,
I saw the past articulating into the present, sometimes seamlessly, sometimes by way of confrontation. Most of the poems here, it seems to me, seek, in large part, to make sense of the present in terms of the past — or vice versa. An example is Christina Kirkpatrick's exquisitely-observed still life, 'The Millhouse'. One of my favourite local poets, Christina — I just wish she would not hide her light under a bushel to the extent she does. Connie Barber's 'Old House Old Country' works similarly. In this poem the past is a potent force within the present — but it is not well treated by the present and its crass preoccupations. And the past constructs the present, too, in Graeme Hetherington's poetically-rendered account of his dialogue with Ralph Spaulding over how to treat The Mountain in metaphor. And it is there, too, in Adrian Flavell's chilling poem, 'Bait', about an appalling atrocity deep within lost layers of time, but so tangible that 'the bones of this story rattle through our families'.
Flavell's poem also brings to mind a second quality running through blue giraffe 4. This is power. These are — this is a generalisation of course, and not all poems conform to it — not light-tripping poems. They are tough and muscular. This observation applies to the poems written by women, too — these often exhibit a steeled resolve, a sure, staunch cast of mind deploying language appropriately resolute. The men ramp it up still further. Flavell's poem is brutally unsentimental. So is john Egan's poem, 'Fire at Sea'. So is the poem that opens the collection — Henry Shearwater's 'Adam becomes a Mountain' — a poem of unrelenting power, and absolutely marvellous.
But that's enough from me. I saw other themes and commonalities in blue giraffe 4, and other readers will locate patterns entirely overlooked by me. What we will agree upon, I'm sure, is that blue giraffe 4 is a triumph. We who love words and their properties of magic owe Peter more than I can begin to say, and I hope blue giraffe is still going strong long after I am not.
I'm going to close by reading a poem by a Launceston poet who I think a terrific talent — but who is also inclined to reticence and has to be continually coaxed out of literary hiding. I know that Peter likes this poem, because he recited it to me in the street the other day — from memory — and when he got to the final line he punched the air. So here it is, a deceptively simple, powerful, quintessentially Tasmanian poem, in which the past reaches tellingly into the present — Monique Sereda's 'Return to Waddamana':
The river is dry.
Hills echo with silence
and empty spaces
carry the black jay's cry.
Once the world began
and ended here,
or so it seemed,
where steel pipes
led the way to the sky
and men died.
Pete Hay's launch speech for Blue Giraffe 4 in December, 2006.
Pete Hay Launch, Blue Giraffe 4
That, I agree, is a somewhat startling claim. Here's what I mean by it. We who value poetry might abandon the writing of it as a formal activity, narrowly defined — as I appear to be doing. But we should, all of us, live lives of poetry. I came to this conclusion last Saturday, when I made a political speech in Launceston. Someone came up to me afterwards and said, 'I have never heard politics sound so much like a poetry reading' — and I thought: 'Yes!' That could be the greatest compliment I've ever received.

Vitamin of the Week: Jessica Badias (Richmond, VA)
Jessica Badias
With a driving passion for helping others and an appetite for all things creative, to say Jessica finds placing great people in amazing jobs "rewarding" would be a colossal understatement.
See what fuels her passion by reading her answers our 11 Quick Questions and find out her advice for conducting interviews and mistakes NOT to make on your resume!
- Best advice to any manager conducting an interview? The interview process starts long before the candidate takes a seat and begins to answer questions and discuss their previous work experience. Try to discreetly observe the front desk or reception area when they first arrive: how do they treat the reception staff? Are they flustered or poised upon arrival? Nonverbal cues are just as important when identifying your next great hire!
- Google or Bing? Google.
- Biggest mistake people make on their resumes? Putting more of an emphasis on the "what" instead of the "how" by talking about their job duties instead of how their work benefited the company. For example, anyone interested in hiring a designer knows the tasks they perform, what they need to know is the HOW behind that person's creative process and the successful delivery of their projects!
- Describe your city in 5 words. Monumental. Trendy. Historic. Cutting-edge. Innovative.

On March 30, a two-vehicle accident that occurred on the Edens Expressway in Illinois left one person dead. According to the report, the crash took place in the southbound lanes near Touhy Avenue in Skokie at approximately 1:45 a.m.
The Illinois State Police stated that a man from Lincolnwood was reportedly traveling south in a white Audi when he collided with the back end of a Chevrolet truck. The impact caused the truck to veer to the right and roll over several times before coming to a stop. The driver of the truck, a 26-year-old man from Minnesota, was pronounced dead at the scene less than 30 minutes after the crash occurred. An autopsy performed by the Cook County Medical Examiner's office on the man determined that he died as a result of major head trauma and that his death was an accident.
The driver of the Audi was also taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of injuries that were described as minor. Though the local police department was reportedly still investigating the car accident, it was stated that there were charges pending against the driver of the Audi.
If the evidence from a case indicates that the driver who caused the crash was negligent and their actions directly caused the death of a loved one, the surviving family members may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim. By filing this type of claim, family members who sustained financial damages as a direct result of the accident may seek compensation for any medical bills, funeral costs, loss of future income and loss of society and companionship.

To be honest, I know pasta doesn't need to be specially formulated to be kid-friendly - it's pasta, it is kid-friendly.
But this Piccolini is pretty great. Barilla has taken the classic Italian pasta shapes and made them in miniature versions that cook quickly. (7 minutes or less kind of quick). And, Barilla has added fiber, so the Piccolini line has three times the fiber as regular pasta but tastes and looks the same as regular pasta. And it's all made from natural flavors.
Because my kids like to make me worry I'm raising overly entitled children, even a simple pasta dinner has to come in two styles. (Magpie won't eat red sauce, even on pizza. I accept this, but not without telling her it is an affectation she should lose sooner than later.)
But even the Pasta Two Ways is easy enough to make, so no complaints from me.
And my kids? Big fans.
Thank you Barilla for the pasta samples.

I know the ideal Enterprise network won't have any SQL Server Express instances, but every large network that I've ever worked on has at least a few. Many times, it's powering apps like SolarWinds or BackupExec. Since SQL Express doesn't run SQL Agent, it can be a pain to backup and maintain the systems.
There are a lot of blog posts out there that use PowerShell or some other scheduled script to perform the backups, but it occurred to me the other day that I can totally run all of my backup and maintenance scripts from another SQL Server's SQL Agent. Duh! The key is to use the Connections tab to connect to other SQL instances.
I'll be honest, because these servers may come and go and their databases are unpredictable, I don't want to install anything local like Ola Hallengren's Backup and Maintenance Scripts, so I setup simple Maintenance Plans with the following parameters:
- I made one plan with multiple subplans.
- Weekly: Full backup, integrity checks, index rebuild, Maintenance cleanup task (4 weeks), History cleanup task (4 weeks)
- Daily: Differential, Maintenance cleanup task (4 weeks)
- Staggered schedules between server backups — I don't expect SQL Express databases to take any longer than 30 minutes, so every instance backup is scheduled 30 minutes apart.
- The backups go to the same network share as the rest of the SQL instances which kinda look like this: \\sqlbackupserver\backups\HOSTNAME\full, \\sqlbackupserver\backups\HOSTNAME\diff.
- No transaction log backups are scheduled — so far, I haven't found a SQL Express instance with databases that are set to anything but the SIMPLE recovery model.
Make sure the SQL Server Agent account has adequate access to the SQL Server Express, and that you don't check "Compress backups." Otherwise, your backups will fail with a Backup Error: 3041, Severity: 16, State: 1 error code as SQL Express doesn't support compressed backups.

You might not be a big fan of the regular green tea but matcha is different. With its vibrancy, aroma and rich taste, Matcha has quickly escalated to be one of the celebrities of the tea world. Matcha powder an antioxidant-rich, healthy coffee alternative that you can simply incorporate into your weight loss regime. Not only that, but EGCG (a major antioxidant which enhances weight loss by boosting the metabolism) can be found in abundance in matcha green tea leaves.
Matcha, like the regular green tea, is obtained from Camellia Sinesis plant. But the difference lies in the way it is processed: first the leaves are plucked and dried, then they are finely ground in mills into a bright green powder. The tea's powder is so fine that you don't need a tea bag to dip into your cup and throw out the leaves remains. Instead, you dissolve the powder into your cup ingesting all of its antioxidant powers.
ECGC - A powerful antioxidant
Every cup of matcha green tea contains antioxidants 6.2 times that of goji berries, 7 times that of dark chocolate and 60 times that of Spinach. Most green tea contains the metablosm boosting anti-oxidant ECGC, but the ECGC concentration in matcha drinks is nearly three times higher than the regular green tea. Studies have suggested that an intake of matcha green tea before a regular course of exercises increases metabolism and supports rapid weight loss. Other studies have suggested that matcha green tea increases fat-burning capabilities of the body by percent if complemented with a 30-minutes cycling course.
Now you might think- "what's the best way for me to incorporate matcha into my diet plan?". That's simple. To take full advantage of matcha green tea for weight loss, first you need to replace your morning cup of caffeinated drink with a cup of freshly brewed matcha green tea. You can opt to have it as a "Latte" but I just go with the standard water version. Don't worry - matcha also contains some caffeine so you'll still get a bit of a caffeine boost!
You could also drink matcha green tea during the day in between meals
EGCG has properties which could help you feel full throughout the day, according to a new study: an experiment conducted by the Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition published last year. Have a cup of matcha 30 minutes before your workout schedule and it will boost your fat burning capacities through the roof. For optimal and fast results, it is necessary to complement matcha with a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Hines Ward
It isn't getting any cooler down there, down in Georgia. Southern summers will make you sweat, no question. But he didn't care—he probably even liked the sweat. He certainly liked the hard work, no question about that either, the pile of muscle running patterns, swinging a bat, shooting hoops, working hard. African-American kid. Or was he Korean? Or was it both? Doesn't matter. Didn't matter to him, didn't matter to his teammates, especially when they were winning—and if he was playing, they were winning. And if it did matter to a few people back then, back when he was still in school, well, it probably doesn't matter to them any more—or at least you won't hear about it, certainly not when he's around. People tend to shut up in the face of greatness, and when it comes to Hines Ward there's an awful lot of greatness to behold.
Never mind the fact that the guy could whup your butt.
"Even when I play my son in video games, I try to whup his butt!" says Ward, laughing. "That's just the kind of competitive I am."
The kind of competitive he is helped Hines Ward to carve out an unbelievable NFL record over 14 seasons as a wide receiver (and a devastating blocker) with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Selected in the third round of the 1998 NFL Draft, he became the Steelers' all-time leader in receptions, receiving yardage and touchdown receptions. From 2001 to 2004, #86 had four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons (the only Steeler ever to do so) and was named to four Pro Bowl teams. Twice a Super Bowl champion, he took MVP honors in 2006's Super Bowl XL. And on New Year's Day in 2012, with his last catch ever as a Steeler, Ward became only the eighth player in NFL history to reach 1,000 career receptions. The year before, he'd won Season 12 of Dancing With the Stars, scoring the highest marks in the Tango, Salsa and Quickstep dances, among others. Did we mention this guy is competitive?
Since hanging up his cleats in 2012, "The happiest man in football," as President Barack Obama called him, has taken a few turns in Hollywood, notably in the film The Dark Knight Rises (as a football player) and in the TV show Walking Dead (as a zombie). Ward and his mile-wide, seemingly omnipresent smile also started working as a commentator for NBC on Football Night in America, along with making other appearances. Right now he's training for an Iron Man Triathlon, checking in on his Helping Hands charity and making time for family. One thing he's not doing a lot of is golfing.
"Oh man, this year I've only been out three times maybe," Ward told us from his home state of Georgia. "I've been training for the Iron Man, working with NBC… I really don't get out that much."
Still, he likes the game, even if he shares a few of its frustrations with other former NFL stars. When asked if he agreed with Bo Jackson, who told Kingdom that golf was harder than football, Ward didn't hesitate.
"Oh yeah, golf is more mental than anything. And it hurts as a pro [football] guy, being a running back or a linebacker, because you just have the drive to kill it every time. And that works against people who are strong, guys that have so much testosterone."
But the dancing helps with the graceful bits, yeah?
"A little bit," Ward says, laughing again. "It helps more with the footwork; I don't know about my backswing. I've got a bad habit of swinging it like a baseball bat. I've been trying to keep my tempo slow, and every now and then I get hold of a great drive and get it out there, but I can't find that great stroke again to repeat it."
That's a common quest for the rest of us as well, but frustration with the game must be an unfamiliar feeling to a guy for whom sports—and especially football—came naturally.
"I always played and loved all the other sports: basketball, baseball, football… All those sports came easy to me," Ward says, explaining that he was introduced to golf by a friend of his while he attended Forest Park High School, where he excelled in athletics.
"I love challenges, so I picked up a golf club, swung three times, and missed the ball. I was probably 17."
If golf didn't come easy, other sports did. At the end of his senior year, he was drafted by Major League Baseball's Florida Marlins, who offered him a bonus to sign. With a first love of football, though, Ward elected to head to college and play for his hometown Georgia Bulldogs. There, he earned a pile of awards and accolades as both a receiver and as a starting quarterback, eventually becoming the school's second all-time receiver with 144 receptions and 3,870 yards (behind Herschel Walker).
Today, so many years later, he's back to golf (if only a little). There's the odd game with friends and there have been a number of appearances in charity golf events (like the one hosted by former Steeler Antwaan Randle El), but like many of us Ward finds that his schedule often gets in the way of real success on course.
"One thing about golf is you have to play all the time," he explains. "My time is very limited, so to be on the golf course is tough."
One of the things that takes at least some of his time is his charity, the Hines Ward Helping Hands Foundation. The U.S. arm of his Foundation focuses on improving literacy and life skills among children and specifically addresses underprivileged youth in the Pittsburgh and Atlanta areas. As important as that is, the Foundation's Korean arm is shining a light on something not often discussed, the issue of biracial discrimination, especially as it occurs among the children of Korea.
Ward, who was born in 1976 in Seoul to a Korean mother and an African-American father, knows what he's talking about. Raised by his mother in the Atlanta area, Hines had to contend with discrimination. Still an area resident, he says it hasn't disappeared.
"It was something I had to endure," he says. "Had to deal with being teased, being an outcast, being bullied because I was different… And bullying is kind of a big thing now, a lot of elementary schools are dealing with it. My son, he's dealing with it. He's a multi-racial kid, African-American, Korean and white. I try to instill in him that it's ok to be different, tell him don't get caught up in all the teasing."
Perhaps no one could have anticipated the Korean community's reaction to Ward's success, but with his numerous accomplishments, including being the first Korean-American to be named a Super Bowl MVP, he's now a celebrity and an inspiration among Koreans. In recent years, he's taken several trips to Korea to speak out against the country's discriminatory practices and to pledge his time and support to biracial children there. Speaking to kids there, he offered the following words of hope:
"If the country can accept me for who I am and accept me for being Korean, I'm pretty sure that this country can change and accept you for who you are."
Discrimination certainly won't be the first major fight Ward has taken on, and it's not the first time he's demonstrated leadership with those whom others might not consider to be contenders. But his charity may be fighting one of the most important battles he's faced. There's little question the man who set the football world on fire for 14 years, and who's now really beginning to gain momentum in his life off the gridiron, is going to keep on making a difference. After all, like his smile, winning is just part of who he is.
"I've always wanted to win, that's the competitive nature in me," Ward says. "As a child in elementary school, I don't know where it came from, but when we picked teams I tried to pick the guys who weren't as talented. The kids that usually weren't picked first, I picked them first. And as the whole team, we found a way to win.
"The camaraderie that inspired… Some of the kids who got picked last, you see them being part of the winning team, and you see their confidence grow. I always wanted to be on that team where people say 'they don't have a chance to win.' There's nothing more gratifying than to prove all the naysayers wrong."

How Much Everbrite or ProtectaClear Do I Need?
What materials do I need for my restoration project?
For painted metal or unpainted metal that is outside like siding, roofs, copper roofs, sculptures, painted gutters, copper gutters, weathervanes, window frames or other painted or exterior metals, you will need Everbrite Protective Coating to restore and protect the metal. Everbrite is recommended for these because of the extra U.V. protection. You will first need to clean the metal and neutralize any acid based cleaners that may have been used. The metal must be clean and completely dry before application of the coating. Most metals need 2 coats of Everbrite but some porous metals like steel will need 3 or 4 coats.
For metal that will be handled frequently like jewelry, door handles, sinks or countertops ProtectaClear is recommended. ProtectaClear is also recommended for stainless steel and mirror polished metals because it is thin and crystal clear and will not detract from the shine of the metal. ProtectaClear is tough and durable and has excellent adhesion to even highly polished metal.
Everbrite and ProtectaClear Coatings are very economical because of the excellent coverage. The coatings will cover about 1000 square feet at .5 mil wet film thickness. Two coats are recommended for most metals. It protects very well at this thickness and will still be able to expand and contract with the substrate. Everbrite Coatings have an indefinite shelf life in a closed container so if you have some left over, you will still be able to use it in the future.
You can purchase Everbrite Coatings in 5 Gal. cans, Gallons, Quarts, Pints and 4 oz. cans. Everbrite and ProtectaClear are also available in aerosol cans for hard to reach places or for touchup.
The following guidelines will help you figure out what you need. We will be happy to help you figure out what you need, call us at 916-852-0200. We have excellent customer service and technical assistance available from 7:30 am until 5:00 pm Monday through Friday Pacific time and we also have Live Chat available.

The best way to figure how much you need is to figure out one wall at a time. Multiply the width by the height. If the wall is 60 feet long and is 10 feet tall, that is 600 feet. If the front of your home is 24 feet by 10 feet, that is 240 feet. Add 2 walls of 600 feet and 2 walls of 240 feet minus window space. The total wall space would be 1480 square feet minus an average of 300 sq. ft. of window space.
You can also refinish garage doors, sheds, awnings, railings, window extrusions, and many other items. Wood siding or repainted surfaces tend to use more, so you may want to purchase a little extra.

Of all the positions in fantasy football, it is my theory that when it comes time to set a lineup, the quarterback and tight end garner the least attention. The simple-minded fantasy owner will usually slot in whomever they drafted first. They will rarely sift through potential matchups seeking advantages, especially Week 1. Don't worry though, I have you covered.
Each week this article will focus on start/sit quarterback and tight end plays. Don't expect to see obvious names like Luck, Rodgers, or Gronkowski…unless they are mentioned in the 'crash' section.
Sam Bradford @ ATL
Well, I have been pumping Sam Bradford all offseason and I see no reason why I should stop now. Finally seeing the product on the field has given me even more confidence that he is going to put together a top 10 season at the quarterback position. In just four drives with the first-team offense, Bradford compiled 13 completions on 15 attempts for 156 yards and three touchdown passes. Although it is a small sample size, I came away most impressed with the accuracy in which he delivered the ball to his pass catchers.
Rookie head coach Dan Quinn had his way with the Eagles offense last season when he was coordinating the defense for the Seattle Seahawks. The Eagles offense only put up 14 points, and Sanchez had a rough day going 10/20 for 96/2/1. Chip Kelly was quoted saying "The Seattle defense shut us down with both scheme and personnel." The good news for Dan Quinn is that he was able to implement his 4-3 scheme that afforded him success in Seattle. The bad news for Quinn is that he couldn't bring the personnel with him to Atlanta. Instead of Kam Chancellor, Earl Thomas, Richard Sherman, and Byron Maxwell patrolling the back-end of the defense, Quinn will be working with a group that consists of Ricardo Allen, William Moore, Robert Alford, and Desmond Trufant. The secondary is where Atlanta struggled most last season, allowing a league high 280 yards passing per game. While there is hope that the Falcons' pass rush will alleviate some pressure off of the secondary that is likely to be a work in progress, as will be this entire defense. I could see them being good some day, but Monday will not be that day. I fully expect Kelly to take advantage of the Falcons secondary and for Bradford to have a big game.
Ryan Tannehill @ WASH
Speaking of guys who were hot in the preseason…
Enter Ryan Tannehill, who had the Dolphins first-team offense firing on all cylinders. While one cannot put much stock into preseason numbers, his 33/41 for 303/3/0 was impressive. I pegged the Dolphins offense to take a step forward in 2015 and so far I have no reason to think otherwise.
While I anticipate Tannehill to have a strong season, this matchup is particularly juicy. Tannehill will look to continue a streak dating back to last season, in which opposing quarterbacks have thrown for at least two touchdowns against the Redskins defense. While there are some new faces in the Redskins secondary, the concern remains that this will be the weak link in the defensive chain. That proverbial link will be even weaker with the one game suspension of nickel corner Bashuad Breeland. His absence will force them to dig deeper into an already thin secondary to matchup with the three and four wide receiver sets that the Dolphins often run. With the Redskins having a strong front-seven to control the running game, look for the Dolphins to rely on mismatches in the secondary to move the ball, thus leading Tannehill to being a strong fantasy option in Week 1.
Depending on the depth of your league, you may have drafted Bradford or Tannehill as a backup. Don't be the mindless owner who just inserts whoever they drafted higher into their starting lineup. Of the quarterbacks potentially drafted before Bradford or Tannehill I would happily start either of them over: Peyton Manning, Russell Wilson, Cam Newton, Matt Stafford.
Martellus Bennett vs GB
While I am not a Bennett fan for 2015, I am looking to take a ride on the 'Black Unicorn' in Week 1. With Alshon Jeffery dinged and questionable to play, Bennett could take on an even larger role in the Bear's offense. With an expectation for them to be playing catch up there should be plenty of targets available.
Bennett has a proven track-record of starting the season off fast.
First three games 2014: 161/4
First three games 2013: 60/3
First three games 2012: 185/3
Bennett has been fantasy gold during the first three weeks of the season. Going back to 2012, Bennett has scored nine or more fantasy points in eight of nine games.
Larry Donnell @ DAL
The Cowboys failed to match-up with Donnell last season. In the two contests versus Dallas, he was targeted 11 times hauling in 9/114. This game has all the makings of a high scoring affair, so locking down any viable piece of either offense is not a bad idea.
Dallas struggled against the tight end last season, allowing an average of 10.3 fantasy points per game. With Odell Beckham Jr. expected to draw the majority of the attention, the middle of the field should be wide open for Donnell to operate and post a solid fantasy day.
Matt Stafford @ SD
After a statistically strong 2013 road showing, Stafford reverted back to struggling away from the friendly confines of Ford Field in 2014.
Home: 282 yards per game / 13 touchdowns / 6 interceptions / 67% completion rate
Away: 250 yards per game / 9 touchdowns / 6 interceptions / 54% completion rate
Stafford was blanked four times in the touchdown column last year, three of which came on the road. Stafford will be tested right out of the gate, facing a top five passing defense from last year led by pro-bowl safety Eric Weddle.
Having a modern day thunder and lightning combination of Bell and Abdullah could transition the Lions into a team that runs the ball and plays defense rather than trying to win shootouts. After all, with Matt Stafford having a career record of 0-17 on the road verse teams that finish with a winning record, they might want to try something different. We will find out Week 1.
Cam Newton @ JAC
I could have summed up the reasoning on this potential crash in four words.
Being the charitable human I am, I will give you some more ammunition on why Newton needs to be on your bench this week.
To quote Peyton Manning: "Let's just say we had some problems with protection"
The Jaguars had the sixth best sack total in the league with 45 sacks. The impressive part about the 45 sacks they accumulated is that they got it done without having to bring extra rushers.
In 2014, the Jaguars faced 602 drop-backs. They blitzed only 90 times, or 15% of the time. This was the lowest number of blitzes in the league, and it wasn't even close. The Cowboys were the only other team in the league to blitz less than 20% of the time, yet they blitzed 39 more times than the Jaguars. Jared Odrick replacing Red Bryant at defensive end was the only major change to their front, and that should be considered an upgrade in the pass rush department.
What does this mean for Cam Newton and an offensive line that struggled allowing 42 sacks in 2014? If the Jaguars are able to carry over the success of getting to the quarterback without bringing extra rushers it is going to be a long day for Newton and his ragtag receivers who will struggle to beat the coverage.
Greg Olsen @ Jac
The Jaguars did a nice job against opposing tight ends in 2014. Much of it has to do with only rushing the front four and playing coverage in the back-end. Last year, they got off to a terrible start, allowing five touchdowns to tight ends through five weeks. However, they settled in and only allowed two tight end touchdowns over their final 11 games.
I expect the Panthers to lean heavily on their ground game this week. When they do throw, Jacksonville will do their best to take away Olsen, which at this point is Newton's most trusted target.
Owen Daniels vs BAL
It really does pain me to put Daniels name in this portion of the column. After singing his praises all offseason, I am forced to refer to him as a 'fantasy crash' in Week 1. It really is a terrible matchup though. Baltimore allowed a grand total of three touchdowns last year to tight ends not named Jimmy Graham. Aside from that, one must factor in the familiarity that the Ravens have with both Daniels as well as Kubiak. It all adds up to a poor debut for Daniels.
This section of the article will be dedicated to a quarterback/tight end combination that has a good matchup and should be inserted into starting lineups.
Jason Witten might as well change his name to David, because he is a Giant killer. In his last five games against the Giants Witten has posted 36/331/5.
Last season, the Giants had no answer for Tony Romo and the Cowboy's passing game. He lit them up for 554/7/1 over two games. It can be argued that the Giants secondary will be in even worse shape this year after losing Mykkele Thompson, Bennett Jackson, and Justin Currie during the preseason.
Good luck. Right now we are all undefeated…except for anyone who played against Gronk and Brady, they are basically 0-1.
