Forget any notions about rich real estate agents because a survey shows many of them are nearer the breadline than the Bollinger.
Like television's Robyn Malcolm in Agent Anna, many are struggling to make a buck, even after house price increases.
Alistair Helm, ex-chief executive of realestate.co.nz, surveyed the sector and found last year's average agent income was just $35,000 which he said was below the living wage.
Although 74,000 residential property sales worth over $32 billion were made last year, agents were hardly making a killing, he said, using data from the Real Estate Institute and realestate.co.nz.
"The real estate industry comprises over 9,400 active agents who managed over 132,000 new listings in the last year and billed in excess of $1 billion in commission fees.
"Income for active agents varied considerably across the country, with the highest-paid agents being found in Wellington earning on average $93,000 and the lowest-paid being on the West Coast earning an income of just under $20,000 each.
"In fact, seven of the 19 regions saw average income below the level of a living wage."
Barfoot & Thompson managing director Peter Thompson said many agents earned at least $50,000, although the top agents scored well above that. "The $35,000 surprises me very much. I would tend to think the agents here would certainly be on higher than that although some agents are part-time and are housewives or have other businesses.
"What they put in is what they get back. Some only working for a short time might be earning $35,000. Nationwide, that might be a fair comment but certainly Auckland is a lot higher," he said.
REINZ chief executive Helen O'Sullivan said some part-time agents or those in smaller area might be on low incomes. "But real estate agents are mobile and if they were not making enough to eat, I'm sure they would move," she said.
Mr Helm said he worked out commission fees by region by month, then applied a calculation to come up with a true earning for an agent based on the percentage split of commission which offices give to agents.
This varied through the year with some companies because agents earn more in the final three months of the year than at the start.
"This then gave me the value of the earning that each region paid to agents as independent contractors. I then divided this by the number of active agents to arrive at an average earning per agent."

"We are encouraged by the commitment that we're seeing among small business owners to assertively and strategically invest in their companies … in order to grow." –Randy Scarborough, vice president of marketing for FedEx Office, commenting on the results of the firm's fourth annual Signs of The Times national small business survey
After reading the many survey "tea leaves" being bandied about in recent weeks, there seems to be a growing sense of optimism within many sectors of the U.S. business community concerning the long-term outlook for their particular market niches.
Not that things will be champagne-popping great, mind you, but that despite rising energy and commodity prices – among other cost pressures – things should be OK.
Look at the results of the fourth annual FedEx Office Signs of the Times national small business survey, for starters. That poll – conducted online in March in conjunction with the Ketchum Global Research Network and Braun Research – found that 63% of 505 small business owners expressed strong confidence in the long-term success of their operations. That's up from 54% last year.
And with confidence rising, FedEx Office's survey found many of those owners are considering greater investments in their business to support 2011 growth plans, including expanding product and service offerings (44%) and hiring additional full-time and part-time staff (25%). Marketing and advertising efforts also continue to be a major consideration for budget increases, with more small business owners considering investment in these areas than last year – 55% vs. 42%.
"Small businesses are a vital economic driver and their outlook for 2011 is an indication that the health of this business segment is getting stronger," said Randy Scarborough, vice president of marketing for FedEx Office.
Going "bigger" with this view, the manufacturing sector – which has largely driven the ongoing recovery in the U.S. – still remains confident that business and revenues will remain strong in 2011. According to the most recent U.S. Manufacturing Barometer survey conducted by consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), projected average growth rate for own-company revenue over the next 12 months increased to 7% in the first quarter from 6.6% in the fourth quarter last year.
Further, 89% of the 63 manufacturing executives polled by PwC expect positive revenue growth for their own companies in the year ahead – an increase of 14 points over first quarter 2010 and 5 points over the fourth quarter. A further 33% are forecasting double-digit growth, a significant increase of 21 points over first quarter 2010, while 56% are forecasting single digit growth. Only 5% forecast negative growth and another 2% are forecasting zero growth, PwC noted.
"Despite lingering uncertainty over macroeconomic conditions, our latest survey found that U.S. industrial manufacturers are increasingly positive about the future prospects of growth within their own businesses, as well as for the general industry," said Barry Misthal, head of the U.S. industrial practice at PwC.
"The improving outlook can be attributed to industrial manufacturers feeling confident in their planning for 2011 and the ongoing investments they are making to further enhance their revenue opportunities," he added.
Looking at the next 12 months, 57% of industrial manufacturers polled by PwC expressed optimism about the U.S. economy, down 6 points from the fourth quarter of 2010 but 4 points higher than the first quarter in 2010. Uncertainty about the U.S. economy was cited by 38% of the executives polled, an increase of 8 points, while only 5% remain pessimistic versus 7% in the fourth quarter last year.
Still, it's not all "peaches and cream" out there – not by a long shot. Some 44% of those surveyed by PwC were optimistic about projections for the 12 month outlook for the world economy, but that's a decline of 16 points from the fourth quarter 2010. The majority (51%) are uncertain, up 13 points, while only 5% are pessimistic about the global economic outlook.
There's also some scary stuff going on economically speaking right now. Chris Kuehl, PhD, managing director of Armada Corporate Intelligence and economic advisor for the National Association of Credit Management (NACM), noted recently that commodity inflation is "taking a much bigger bite" in manufacturing and is affecting cash flow.
"The bulk of the impact of inflation is being felt in the basic industries at the moment, although the consumer is seeing more of that rise every day," he explained. "Manufacturers are paying those high fuel costs along with everybody else, but they are also paying record prices for everything from steel to copper to resins and chemicals."
And sustained high oil prices are hurting too – in a very broad way, as it's not just the price of gasoline and diesel that spike when the cost of oil soars, Kuehl stressed.
"The price of feedstock for the fertilizer industry rises and so do the prices of petrochemicals," he pointed out. "Transportation costs have risen as well and that affects the manufacturer first as they are paying for the transportation of the raw materials they need."
In short, according to Kuehl, while things are still trending well, there is "considerable volatility" just under the economic surface. That's something to keep in mind as we turn towards the summer months.

PRESS RELEASE: Canada must continue to take a tough stand on Iran, In the face of recent mass executions by the Islamic Regime!0 comments - published on Monday, October 28, 2013
October 28th 2013-10-28
Attention: Assignment Editor, City Editor, News Editor, World News Editor, Government/Political News Editor
On Saturday October 26th, 18 prisoners including two Kurdish political prisoners were executed by the Islamic Regime in Iran. Hundreds of prisoners have been executed by the Islamic Regime since the so called "moderate" President Hassan Rouhani came to power in June, but executing 18 prisoners in one day is a new record even for the Islamic Regime.
Sayeh Hassan an Iranian Canadian lawyer, blogger and pro-democracy activist stated "While the so called "moderate" president Hassan Rouhani has been smiling his way through the United Nations and working hard to remove the tough sanctions against Iran, the Islamic Regime has been busy executing prisoners including political prisoners in record numbers. The latest example is the execution of 18 ethnic minority prisoners including 16 Balouchi's and two Kurdish political prisoners.
Ms. Hassan further stated: "One of the political prisoners executed was Habibullah Golparipour, a young man arrested in 2009, subjected to brutal torture and "tried" behind closed doors. According to various reports Mr. Golparipour was executed secretly without the knowledge of his family or lawyer and without the execution date being announced. No doubt the Islamic Regime felt it was necessary to carry out the execution in secret to prevent major protests!"
Ms. Hassan expressed: "Islamic Regime's killing machine has been operating full force since June of this year, unfortunately many countries including the United States have turned a blind eye to the mass killings in Iran and have agreed to enter into a political dialogue with the Islamic Regime in Iran."
Sayeh Hassan lastly stated: " Many Iranian Canadians are extremely concerned that Canada will follow the lead of the United States and renew diplomatic relations with the Regime in Iran. Unfortunately we have already started seeing signs of Canada "softening" its stand on Iran by allowing Iran to operate an unofficial consulate in Montreal and most recently appointing the country of Oman as the official representative of Iran in Canada. There is no doubt that the Conservative Government in Canada would lose not only the support but also the respect of Iranian Canadians if it chooses to ignore the mass executions in Iran and renews its diplomatic relations with Iran.

Is Canada Renewing Diplomatic Relations with Iran?0 comments - published on Wednesday, October 23, 2013
In September of this year an Islamic Centre in Montreal started carrying out Iran's consulate affairs going as far as creating a website which clearly indicated that the Islamic centre would be Iran's official consulate in Montreal.
Many Iranian Canadians were extremely concerned about this new development not only because this consulate was operating against Canadian law, but also because they were against Islamic Regime's political presence in Canada, whether official or unofficial. Many Iranian Canadians contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, their members of parliament and the media to voice their concerns about this issue.
A facebook group named "Shut Down Iran's Consulate in Montreal" was created and a protest was scheduled in front of the Islamic Centre in Montreal on Saturday October 26th 2013.
Unfortunately in the meantime the Canadian Government decided not only against shutting down Iran's consulate in Montreal, but they also designated the country of Oman to act as Iran's representative in Canada essentially allowing Iran to once again have a political presence in Canada.
This comes as a major disappointment and surprise to Iranian Canadians who applauded Canada's tough stand on the Regime in Iran. There is great concern that this maybe the beginning of the renewal of Canada-Iran diplomatic relations which would not be welcome by Iranian Canadians who have been fighting against the dictatorship in Iran.
Please note that the scheduled protest of October 26th 2013 in Montreal has been cancelled, but there will be a protest in front of Oman Embassy in Ottawa as well as at Parliament Hills. Please stay tuned for the new date.

October 10th World Day Against the Death Penalty0 comments - published on Thursday, October 10, 2013
Today marks the world day against the death penalty. We mark this day at a time when the Islamic Regime in Iran is carrying out executions both publicly and privately on a daily basis. We are constantly bombarded with news from Iran about public hangings, stoning and executions in prisons. Today is a good opportunity to take a stand and say "No to Executions and No to Islamic Regime in Iran." It is crucial that we do not separate the fight against the regime with the fight against executions as it is impossible to stop the killings in Iran unless we stop the killing machine.
If you are in Toronto please join us at Yonge/Dundas square at 6:30 pm and say NO TO EXECUTIONS AND NO TO ISLAMIC REGIME IN IRAN!

Artful entrances
Create a unique, welcoming gate to your gardenBy Katie Lamar Jackson
In addition to keeping out the riff-raff, garden gates can be a welcoming element of art. A garden gate may provide a line of view into a garden or serve as a transition, and can be the focal point of your garden or landscape. It can be as complicated or simple as you like, ranging from two sentinel posts with no real gate to a roofed pergola and a bench for relaxing.
Choosing one for your needs
A garden gate needs to be functional as well as beautiful. Ask yourself: Does the gate need to keep animals — four-legged, three-legged or even two-legged — in or out? Does it need to be lockable? Or is its function more art than utility? Could it simply be an open arbor that defines an entryway, or does it need to provide a screen of privacy? Does it need to match an existing fence or landscape design? Are there neighborhood regulations that may dictate your style choices?
Siting it
Once you have an idea of the kind of gate you want, figure out your site. A good idea is to take pictures of your garden or landscape from all sides and angles, including views from the house where the gate might be visible. Try black and white photos — they can help you spot assets and flaws in the location without the distraction of color.
Drawings and photos
Once you have picked your spot, sketch a picture of your dream gate adding any details you may want, such as whimsical touches of lattice, stained glass, woodwork, metal embellishments or paint. And think about what you want to plant around the gate, such as climbing roses or other vines or shrubs. If you don't draw, collect photos of garden gates from magazines and books.
Garden gates can be made of almost anything, from bamboo to metal, wood to PVC or chicken wire (though it may take a special creative flair to make the chicken wire and PVC aesthetically pleasing) to simply an airy entryway with side posts but no real gate at all.
Some people use recycled materials or pieces of old barn wood for their gates, or reuse antique wood or metal gates found at yard sales or antique shops. Others have local wood or metal artists create one-of-a-kind gates. Still others take the do-it-yourself route and build their own using pre-packaged garden gate plans or their own design-build talents. You'll want to make sure hardware (hinges and latches) matches your gate's design and support.
Generally, a garden gate should be at least 3 feet wide, and up to 4 feet in width. If you want a wider gate space, consider putting in a double-sided gate and definitely plan to provide extra support from the gate posts.
Gate installation
Gate posts should be sturdy, straight and plumb and should be sunk at least 2 feet into the ground — 3 feet for wider or heavier gates — and perhaps even reinforced with concrete footings. Use treated lumber if you are using wooden posts so they won't rot or be eaten by termites

PbiblxHelp > Wiki Users Guide
by RandyP
pBiblx2 Field Wise Bible System
ShepherdPupLinux GPL3 2015
This Users-Guide is intended to acquaint new users to the driving concepts behind PCARR and familiarize frequent users to the ministerial and evangelical possibilities behind the technologies utilized herein.
Additional information can be found at the pBiblx user forums and at the ShepherdPup Linux home site athttp://shepherdpuplinux.us
This documentation is constantly developing thanks to the contributions of PCARR users.
(This presentation itself is a simple text wiki page)
I. Introduction
- What's a Wiki?
The concept of a Christian Wiki is not new [see BibleWikis]. A true Wiki typically hosts user contributed encyclopedic content.
- Collaboration!
Users can collaborate with one another, contribute and edit each others content, collectively producing a useful knowledge base.
- Simplicity!
Pages are written in plain text. Simple text formatting syntax can be added. The Wiki takes care of the formatting and general overhead.
- Automated!
Contributed pages are automatically cross linked and referenced to other relative pages and all are easily searched.
- What makes a Wiki so useful?
- Notes are easily entered and indexed to the current topic
- Threads of similar thoughts are easily generated
- Others can edit add or make comments
This PCARR Wiki implementation differs in that it seeks to document the practical day to day knowledge of God's Word applied toward our outreach to others.
Think of it as a communal "Christian Outreach HOWTO" Wiki.
- What makes the PCARR Wiki so useful to Christians:
- Your personal notes are now where ever there is a computer.. any computer!
- Your notes are now useful to many more people other than just yourself!
- Anyone of any age or aptitude can share!
- And more than that:
- PCARR intentionally focuses on practical outreach and not on theological or doctrinal debate.
- Each pBiblx community polices itself and develops as it sees fit
- Each pBiblx community can sync content with other trusted pBiblx partner sites.
Study and notes and tags and references and resources come to life
- With the PCARR wikis you can:
- Link your notes to other peoples notes
- Link their notes to yours
- Link all pBiblx resources to keywords
- PCARR automatically:
- Links common keywords in your text to their many appropriate resources
- Formats your plain text into HTML for printing or presentation
- Links external HTML sources that you provide
- Generates an RSS syndicated feed for RSS aggregation
II. Collaboration
- There are many helpful ways for you to contribute:
- Proof reading and spell-grammar checking.
- Composing content or stubs for future content.
- Adding references, internal and external links to existing content.
- Commenting with personal experiences.
- Translation into other languages.
In everything, we ask that all contributions be prayerfully considered, thoughtful of all levels of ability and readership, encouraging, and spoken from direct experience. This effort should not become a substitute for real life face to face outreach.
So you can see that there are plenty of ways for you to become involved!
III. Format
- Each pBiblx wiki attempts to organise multiple pages into specific threads or focuses.
A hierarchy should exist from general headings down to specific topics.
- It is suggested:
- that you keep your topic files short and to the point avoiding preachiness
- that you divide complex themes into multiple files linking to each other.
- that you provide references and further resource links as much as possible.
- that you search for your topic before generating duplicate content.
Content can be just plain text with or without formatting syntax. The important thing is to capture the initial thought. You or someone else can always go back and provide format syntax. The specific simple rules of syntax are found in the HelpFile.
- Basically:
- just study as you would be anyway using the vast resources of pBiblx2
- take and keep your notes on the pBiblx2 Note wiki
- tie your notes together later with a PCARR practical application
- It could be a note taking device on a private single user system.
- It could be family or group study or devotional on a small communal system.
- It could be a larger evangelical or encyclopedic tool on a public system.
It is advised that if you are editorialising another persons content that you place comments at the bottom of the file instead of making wholesale changes to the original text.
IV. Possible Uses
- The Wiki has the ability to grow into anything that the users desire.
Everyone is encouraged to contribute to this Wiki no matter what chronologic age or spiritual maturity. The motto should be that if you have received a benefit from this, you should also contribute.
We are not attempting to be Theologians here, simply wise and obedient fruitful followers of Jesus.

Any earnest pornoholic has beyond a at least heard of the tube install known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm amenable to wager, accord fapped to it on more than a occasion. In place of some of you, it muscle metrical be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the circumstance , you are certainly not alone. In as a matter of actual fact , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster moment adequately to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Focal point , it is the third most hot smutty install on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 sooner than Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the install wanted to do something abundant from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming touched in the head of the culmination acceptance of group media sites like Facebook and Giggle , xHamsters founders coagulate loose to submit a put that was proficient parts porn tube and xxx group media site. A spokesperson quest of the situate said of xHamster's intentions that the placement was meant suited people who wanted to small talk , truck aphrodisiac pics and share out bungling videos ... to lay one's hands on interactive friends online and peradventure conniving partners interested in personal relationships." I impression it is equitable to suggest that x Hamster has done a bang-up project of providing the cadre that they differentiate b reserve in to catch , as it has thrive a cornucopia of unpaid and homemade user-uploaded content. As indubitably as the " search partners interested in unvarying relationships" say is active , in , I cannot metaphorically speaking a to. I arrange under the aegis felt the difficulty to refuge to a porn orientation to finish my " scheming relationships," but I am truly odd to be versed if anyone's a had any serendipity with that face of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded gratified , nonetheless , confrontation is resolved to upshot sooner or later. With the add up of people missing there in the coterie who are airsick fucks—not not fucks who drop all era fapping in their mothers' basements the path you are a off fuck, I'm talking true , clinically adversely preservationist fucks—a locality like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they indigence was forced to suited inundated with felonious and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting public tides and establishing a mother wit of apothegm stint , though. In April of 2016, looking exempli gratia , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to outright proclivity against members of the LGBT community. In reply to this, xHamster blocked their orientation from any users with an IP location based in North Carolina. You capability also recall hearing encircling the People V. Turner genital aggressiveness case. To avoid vendetta the growing extrusion of ravaging good breeding in America, xHamster banned all videos involving deflowering , including those which featured the fucking of automatic partners. Their community and state involvements don't conclude there, though. At all of my deprecating favorite factional statements that they made came in reaction to the 2016 Representative Inhabitant Panel email disclose , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to notability in a porno conflicting a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You be versed , since she already fucked him touched in the head of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't specialize what is. The Locale Itself Of , xHamster has made totally a rank since themselves in their rather squat age of circumstance as a xxx community media/porn tube. But does the neighbourhood itself confine up to all the hype? Good fettle , withdraw 's agree to a look. From the coruscate you be heir to at xHamster's people's call for , it is unsympathetic not to be impressed by means of how uncomplicated and undemanding to handle the network connivance is. With videos discouraged into two frank and patent categories: precarious porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also freely sift during most qualified as opposed to of newest and past a (which is a large aspect , in the homemade videos, pursue some as a result of , be undergoing to be significantly shorter in era ). To your socialistic , you can conclusively pass search results not later than listing , narrows , or porn shooting on plainly clicking on it. You can also band tags together with a particular click—a different memorable part that, someway , is glaringly missing from a a of tube sites that I've browsed. Their gifted studio pleasure appears meticulous alongside their teeming archive of homemade compensation , unless you detail otherwise. You can also conveniently screen the videos so that you alone dream unemotional , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't show favour at all in your hedonism, after all , you can again rot all three. The most annoying obsession that they added was a hardcoded watermark on chief of the videos. It on categorically messes with your fap trial , when you're to to mull a geezer jizz on a chick's insolent and then...BOOM! That be watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's alteration like a motherfucking cockblocker! Kidding , whoever small amount it was a ok awareness deserves a boot in the balls! As immeasurably as xHamster's collective media components are solicitous , you sooner a be wearing all the routine community-oriented features that you'd be in to on other interchangeable sites (such as Porn Nucleus )—you can elucidation on/rate videos, augment videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and note users directly. Only thingumajig that in sets xHamster one by one from the others, if , is that, when you click on their lappet labeled "dating," you are not brought to some perfunctory third-party scam " negotiate laid tonight" convenient If you're looking far a hulking (and I under big ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com influence be the in you. I'm talking not 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each period containing in every 360 videos. Nowadays math was not my active but I depict that adds up to a majestic infant of more 20 million videos! In the the inside that Video-one is adding hip theme every era compensate the loneliest, horniest fappers bull's-eye us would leaf far of stuff on this tube site. From the mo you reach to video-one.com ( period true you don't pass the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting patient ), you are de in the halfwitted of all that the milieu has to offer. At the head of the foot-boy crave 50 or so suggested categories to pick from (" mate " " superfluous miniature " "caught burglary ," and " bush-leaguer compilation" to big a two ). Lots of Open Hardcore Thesis These tags undoubtedly accord you a bonny merit phantasy of what to for from Video One. Another at to halt an awareness of the mediocre of constituents they subdue is to container a look at what sites they constituent to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should piece you is that a primacy of the gladden pass on be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You sway describe a raffle of it Gonzo. I to eat the qualifications "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Day-bed Feign Ride and Asian Boulevard Meat. Granted, Video-One does should the extra HD studio video thrown in here and there, the the greater of their cheerful if not full-on homemade, is from a of these studios that specializes in tender content. Be Meticulous What You Click On Video-One also seems to to the demographic of pornophiles who fondness the more taboo category stop —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Start at least I conviction it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from without recognized, respectable studios, but a obedient morsel of them look to be most homemade and are tagged with things like " Veritable Sister." I take no type of verifying whether or not these videos are actually proscribed or not. I steady as underworld ain't clicking on that shit. I desire that you troubled incestuous fucks would someone the the fuck away from the constitutional web. Thrust to the gloom spider's seeking vomit-provoking shit like that. Furthermore, I surely reverie tube sites like Video-One should contract a adamantine belt in the sand against interdicted tranquillity like this. Trusty if these aren't be realized incest videos, why coextensive with host that they power be? Anything tagged with something like " Actual Sister" should be at the removed from your site. This affectionate of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could from been a crucial tube milieu intended me. It should not be on the viewer's caution to vision unlawful or potentially misapplied content. That becomes your accountability the before you referee to up a porn site. How the fuck is this a matters that I can't unchanging skim including a tube purlieus without worrying to whether or not doing so intention to me given on some FBI muster that I take no duty being on? a on, Video-One, reach your fucking shit together. Having said that, be systematic what you click on if you insist to look in on this site. If you're okay with sifting at the potentially prohibited volume there is a allocation of legit, just stuff here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking mountainous amount of it. Respectable to ornament I was on the place in 10 minutes in the stimulation the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 supplementary videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll not in any junket absent of videos to on from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Obscenity The milieu itself is designed tuneful based on Either As paralysed a as ads are involved there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the buttocks of pages. Which, prone the figure of videos that become on each layer , you'd be to do a unfathomable of a end of scrolling to settle them. I do booty that aspect. How on , at any you do out to them, there are shit load. No ads in the forefront videos, though. You upon ass into the periodic pop-up, young tag ad when you click on a video, but at least it's not every fucking occasionally you click on something like it is on a loads of other sites. I would evidently proffer nil , but if I beget to search in them, then I imagine these ads are little excusable. Also the maturity of the on-page ads are the other tube sites (which is totally handy if you be without to put the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the late loop pop-ups were frequently pages that were unequipped to encumbrance in mode. I'm not unavoidable scrupulously what this means, but if I can't brood the ad, I'm happy. A Lone Gather to Engagement In You Urge Second to Fappin' To be principled I am fact turned mind close the potentially proscribed felicity to be about on Video-One. It's a sense too, because Video-One has so much quiescent to be a outstanding porn instal with a shit ton of theme to one from. Set if they removed all of their potentially illicit videos, they would silence obtain a whopping archive to explore. All of us porn addicts destitution to agreement together and precisely stomp this obliging of shit in of our community. wait shit that looks sketchy. If you can. Video-One, unfortunately, doesn't that feature. acceptable up and with on the fucking responsibilities that in with having a porn location or don't obtain one. It's as simple-minded as that.

MARYVILLE � An East Tennessee post office has begun throwing away books sent out through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library program that are returned due to wrong addresses.
MARYVILLE � An East Tennessee post office has begun throwing away books sent out through Dolly Parton�s Imagination Library program that are returned due to wrong addresses.
The Daily Times reports that members of the Maryville Kiwanis Foundation used to be able to pick up the returned books free of charge, but recently officials with the Postal Service said they can�t allow that anymore.
David Walton, spokesman for the Tennessee District of the U.S. Postal Service, said the practice is expensive and can�t be continued, especially when the agency is facing financial woes of its own. The Postal Service lost $15.9 billion last year and has announced plans to stop Saturday mail delivery in August.
�They are wanting to go pick those books up without paying that return fee,� he said. �We can�t afford that. They are wanting to � bypass that fee that most other mailers pay. For some time, they have been getting away with that. It�s costing us money. We didn�t change any policy. We just wised up to what was going on. They can pay for this forwarding service, but obviously, they are not.�
Maryville Kiwanis Club member Herb Meyer says the change came as a surprise.
�All I know is that they allowed us to do this, and I guess they decided it was to be stopped,� Meyer said. �As I understand it, it�s nationwide. Hopefully, people will be more alert to getting their address changed, but it seems a shame to throw over 100 books away each month.�
He said the group mails out about 4,500 books each month and about 100 of those are returned. With the changes, he said it will be impossible for Kiwanis to know which addresses are wrong.
�They will just keep mailing books to those bad addresses. We have no way of knowing which books get delivered. It�s a waste of nice books and it also costs us money.�
Since the program began seven years ago in Blount County, 345,000 free books have been mailed to registered children. The Kiwanis and the governor�s Books from Birth Foundation split the $2 cost.
Meyer said the Dollywood Foundation and the Books from Birth Foundation have been alerted to the problem.

Fastest-Growing 2014
Shale rules! That's the lesson of the latest edition of our annual list of public companies with the most stellar three-year profit, revenue, and stock growth. (For our methodology, see the link below.) The list, as always, provides a snapshot of the economy's hottest areas in the recent past. Okay, it's more than just a shale story (for example, see "Winnebago Rolls Again," linked below). But a quarter of the companies here make money drilling, pumping, transporting, servicing, refining, or selling oil or natural gas. The more surprising results, perhaps, are found in the runner-up categories, which reveal a resurgence in two sectors that seemed moribund a few years ago: financial services and housing/real estate. Oil, Wall Street, houses, and comebacks from disaster—it's the newest twist on some of the most eternal themes in American business. See our Methodology

The decision to go to the moon: Project Apollo and the national interest
MIT Press, Aug 15, 1970 - Science - 187 pages
The decision announced by John F. Kennedy on May 25, 1961, initiating the expedition to the moon, is now documented in full for future students of history. To John Logsdon, whose approach is that of a political scientist examining the influence of men and events on the decision-making process, the decision to land a man on the moon "before this decade is out" was wholly political rather than military, although overtones of implied defense were useful in obtaining congressional support. Moreover, he notes it was made without the support of the scientific community, although their previous research efforts were expected partially to offset this deterrent. Although the success of the Russian manned orbit and the fiasco of the Bay of Pigs invasion certainly influenced the timing, in the author's interpretation the Kennedy decision manages to escape the narrow definition of a public relations exhibition. In Kennedy's view, he emphasizes, the security of the country itself was inseparably linked to a position of prestige in world opinion. Nor was he a particular enthusiast of space exploration for its own rewards. As he remarked to one of his advisors, "If you had a scientific spectacular on this earth that would be more useful-say desalting the ocean-or something just as dramatic and convincing as space, then we would do that." The thoroughness of this book as a historical record is evident throughout. NASA historical records and government documents not previously released, including several Presidential papers, are used in the analysis, and the author weaves these records together with subtleties of opinion from interviews with NASA officials and such Kennedy advisors as Theodore Sorenson, McGeorge Bundy, David Bell, and Jerome Wiesner.

"Real talk...since my cancer was environmental and not hereditary I am super conscious of what goes into my body, especially protein. Post chemo left my body super low in iron so steak remains in my diet. I found Pre a few months ago and it's the only meat I buy. Grass-fed, no added hormones and most importantly affordable. Eat better for your body people!"
"Your steaks, especially the sirloin, ribeye, and filet mignon are absolutely delicious. Wasn't sure how these cuts would taste grilled but they taste just as good if not better than cuts I've had a top notch steakhouses."
"When our son was diagnosed with a rare medical disorder, it meant that we would have to change our diet as a family. Because his metabolism doesn't function like a typical person's, we have to be very careful about what we feed him. One of the changes we made was to use more grass-fed and finished beef in our cooking. We decided to give Pre a try, and we are so happy with the quality and taste of the meat. Buying from Pre gives us peace of mind and we feel confident knowing that we are using a product in the top of its class."

Dr. Julie McElrath is director and a full member of Fred Hutch's Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division and is Principal Investigator and Director of the HIV Vaccine Trials Network's Laboratory Program and Seattle Vaccine Trials Unit.
Her work centers on developing an HIV vaccine and investigates the complex relationships between HIV and the immune system.
More specifically, McElrath investigates how components of T-cell immunity elicited early in HIV-1 infection contribute to control of HIV-1 disease, what the influence of antiretroviral therapy is, whether T-cell immune responses are involved in resistance to HIV-1 infection in high-risk persons, how antigen-specific mucosal T cells protect against HIV-1 exposure, and what elements of immunity correlate with protection against HIV-1 infection by vaccine.
McElrath has built and maintains an international HIV vaccine laboratory program, conducted translational immunological research in humans in a multicenter setting, contributed to our fundamental understanding of how HIV-1 enters the mucosa to establish infection, identified persons with very low levels of HIV DNA who otherwise lack all evidence of infection, assembled invaluable cohorts from which to elucidate mechanisms of risk for HIV infection and disease, and mentored junior faculty, young investigators, and graduate students.
She has assumed a leadership role or been a major contributor in a number of integrated programs at the national and international level to advance a coordinated effort to tackle the HIV epidemic through prevention efforts: the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (PI and Director of the Laboratory Program), the Gates Foundation Innate Immunity Consortium (PI), the Microbicide Trials Network (Director, Immunology Core) and the Seattle Vaccine Trials Unit (PI).
In addition, McElrath is a Professor of medicine, allergy and infectious diseases at the University of Washington.
She received her bachelor's degree from Furman University, Greenville, SC; her Ph.D. and M.D. degrees from the Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston; her clinical training in infectious diseases at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, New York; and her post-doctoral training in molecular immunology at the Rockefeller University in New York.

Toffees boss Roberto Martinez says he is more concerned with making sure the England international, who scored twice against West Ham, is happy than offering him a new contract
Everton manager Roberto Martinez has revealed that the club have "put aside" plans to extend Leighton Baines' current deal.
The 28-year-old was subject to interest from reigning champions Manchester United over the summer, now managed by former boss David Moyes, but Baines – unlike Marouane Fellaini – did not make the switch to Old Trafford.
Martinez has previously expressed a desire to tie down the former Wigan defender to a new contract, partly as reward for remaining at Goodison Park, but talks have been shelved for now.
"At the moment, all it is is the games and any individual contracts or situations are put aside," Martinez told reporters.
"The only thing that concerns me is just to make sure he's as fit as he can be and gets in a stronger position and balances the demands of England and club level.
"That's what I'm focused on, that his day to day is perfect.
"Everything else, behind the scenes we're happy with the situation and we're making sure he's happy as well."
Baines struck twice in Everton's 3-2 victory over West Ham on Saturday, with both goals coming from stunning free kicks, and Martinez believes he is in the form of his career.
"In the last two games, once the window was closed, he could concentrate on his football," the Spanish boss continued.
"I could be biased and see it from my own eyes, but when we played against Chelsea, it was the best two full-backs in England playing against each other, and then he came up with that sensational role on Saturday.
"He's in a great moment of his career. In the last two games, Leighton has been sensational, probably because he's been able to relax and enjoy his football.
"His contribution, to be able to score goals from deadball situations is a massive strength in any team, and he's in a moment where the next three or four years are the best in his career."

Archives Topics and Logging in Produce IPS Driver Error
This error occurs whenever I try to access topics in the archive boards or log in to the archive boards. I suspect that both topic and user data for said area is missing.
IPS Driver Error
There appears to be an error with the database.
You can try to refresh the page by clicking here.
I really hate to sound like I'm being pushy; I'm merely curious - is there any hope of this being resolved soon? I'm attempting to compile a reference database for an OTC RPG we're planning to move off-site due to a decrease in interest lately, and over three years of the RPG is buried in the Archives. My hands are tied until I can access that info, and the project's essentially grinding to a halt.
I assume that I and fishers64 can't be the only ones wanting/needing access to the Archives, and they've been down for almost three months now. That's ten years of information, roughly four-fifths of the site (and the relevant portion, considering BIONICLE ended around the same time the new forum came up), that is completely missing. I realize that the main forums are more important, and I agree with that to a degree, but the news stories are still accessible - however awkwardly - in their respective talkbacks, whereas this is simply gone. I'm not aware of any other major problems with the site, as I don't spend much time in the tracker, but this seems to be one of the two biggest issues right now, and from what I can tell it's taken a backseat to everything else.
Again, I'm not trying to sound petulant or demanding, I'm just interested in seeing this fixed, or at least knowing when I can get back to work on my reference database.

Unfortunately I do not have the backups so I cannot work on this directly. I've been working with Binkmeister to try to resolve this as soon as we can.
Sad to hear that, hower glad you are working on it, remember the excistance of web archives if you need lost files...
At long last, the plague of the IPS Driver errors has been lifted from the BZPower Forum Archives. Alas... all is not well. Entire pages of posts are missing from nearly every topic.
For example, Dino Attack RPG should be well over 200 pages, but has been reduced to only 2 pages. And even so, these two pages do not correspond to the first two pages of the topic; note that it jumps suddenly from Jul 22 2005 to Feb 27 2006 to Jun 24 2008 on the first page alone.
I do hope that this is only a temporary issue that will be resolved as the Archives continues to be restored from the back-up... I just hope that this is not an issue with the back-up itself.
EDIT: And... now it's gotten worse, not better. Rather than being only 2 pages with 69 posts, Dino Attack RPG is now 0 pages with 0 posts (I apologize for constantly talking about just one topic when the whole archive has this problem, but it is one topic that I am very familiar with, so if there's something wrong about it, I'd be the first to notice).
I do hope a resolution comes soon, because it's nearly June already and this hacking incident was in February. I do not mean to sound impatient, but I am admittedly quite frustrated about this whole ordeal because the very night the archives went offline was the night I was going to use them for reference on a project I'm working on, and that project has been delayed for months as a result. Neither Google Cache nor Wayback Machine have full access to the archives, and meanwhile the individual responsible for this mess is proudly boasting that the archives are still offline.
As I said, I do not mean to sound impatient; I'm just frustrated that this has gone on for so long, and I apologize sincerely for that. I do wish to see a resolution to this issue in the near future.
EDIT: And... now we're back to IPS Driver Errors again.

On the minus side, this fix goofed the web caches so now I can't get to much.

Not everything can be critical. At this point, I believe more focus is being placed on things relating to the "BZPower's Activity" ticket, such as updating the advertising policy, word filter, and front page.
This is a very frustrating issue; I find myself wanting to find something in the archives at least once a week. I'm sure work is being done, but it really seems to me like this issue warrants a higher severity than "Low."
EDIT: Ack, this is frustrating ... it keeps changing the ticket's severity on me.

Well, I don't think it's a matter of believing everything to be critical, just prioritizing things differently. For example, I find changes to the front page, which has been outdated since the site's overhaul that created the Archives, to be trivial at best. I've never had issues with the word filter, either. Personally, I find half of the site being unavailable to be much more worrisome, and honestly, critical, than a bunch of aesthetic changes, but that's just me.
~ Rumpelstiltskin
Don't mean to complain, but... yeah. This bothers me.
I'd be more than willing to set up a petition to get this ticket's severity changed, if that would help speed things along.
I'm sorry if I sound curt, but the last time we went this long without access to this content the site was being overhauled and the archives formed for the first time. That was a torturous wait, and this has been even moreso, as the information is just beyond reach. I'm really not angry, but I don't believe passively sitting by waiting for this is worth it any longer.

- Premier League
Rodgers wants Downing to stay at Liverpool
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insisted he didn't want Stewart Downing to leave the club after the winger excelled during their 4-0 thumping of Fulham at Anfield.
Downing grabbed his first Premier League goal and assist for the Reds as they breezed past insipid opponents, prompting Rodgers to say the 28-year-old would nail down a permanent first team place if he can reproduce similar form on a regular basis.
After Martin Skrtel had smashed home Liverpool's opener, Downing's superb pass allowed captain Steven Gerrard to double their lead. The winger then cut inside former Reds defender John Arne Riise to fire home the third and Luis Suarez added a late fourth.
Rodgers had said Downing was free to leave if a suitable offer came in for him in January but the Northern Irishman said the player's reaction since that conversation had been exemplary.
"Stewart's been brilliant, he's a real good guy," Rodgers told ESPN. "I want him to be a part of the group here but at his age, we talked about him playing regularly and if the opportunity had come for him to go then him and I would look at it.
"But the reaction from that conversation six or seven weeks ago has been outstanding. He's played a lot of games and today I thought he was brilliant. If he keeps playing like that then he'll be in the team so there's no need for him to leave to get games.
"I always have wanted him to stay. It's not about me pushing him out the door, he's a quality player. When you arrive in the latter part of your twenties and you want to be playing regularly and obviously he wasn't at the time.''
Downing played down his role as Liverpool bounced back in emphatic style from last week's 3-1 home defeat against Aston Villa. "Coming off a bad result against Villa, we let ourselves down, and the manager said we had to bounce back tonight and I thought we did that in style,'' he told ESPN.
"I'm just trying to work hard and take the opportunity when I'm given it. I'm here to play and as long as I get the opportunity I'll try my best.''
Both Downing and defender Skrtel are now desperate to use the win as a springboard to greater things after Liverpool moved up to eighth in the Premier League.
"I think we've been a bit nervy at home at times but I think it's time to get a ruthlessness at home,'' said Downing. "The goals you've seen tonight are four quality goals and it's a case of doing it consistently and not now and again. We need to kick on in the new year and climb the table.''
Slovakia international Skrtel added: "We've got a target for the top four at the end of the season and now we just want to be as close as we can.''
Of his side's overall performance, Rodgers added: "We performed as well as that in a lot of the games to be honest but never always got the result. Today was outstanding in every element of our game.''
Martin Jol admitted Fulham had let themselves down. "We conceded cheap goals and then we played against ourselves because there were too many disappointments,'' said the Dutchman. "Overall it wasn't good enough.''

The United States National Commission for UNESCO met on Monday, November 28th at George Washington University.
Education (Paul Kruchoski)
Secretary Clinton visits UNESCO – In May, Secretary Clinton visited Paris for the launch of the UNESCO Global Partnership for Girls' and Women's Education. The initiative brought together governments, foundations, and corporations to raise over $5 million for UNESCO's work to strengthen education for women around the globe. This was the first visit to UNESCO by a U.S. Secretary of State.
Teaching Respect for All and Holocaust Education – In October, the United States announced two new extra-budgetary contributions to UNESCO education programs. The first will revive UNESCO's work from the mid-1990s on using education to build respect in multiethnic and multicultural societies. The project – a partnership between the United States and Brazil – will offer new curricula and tools for educators. We plan to officially launch the program in early 2012. The second contribution will provide $250,000 to expand UNESCO's Holocaust Education program, which provides educational resources on how to understand the underlying social factors that led up to the Holocaust and how individuals can help prevent mass atrocities in their own societies.
UNESCO helps to Lead ECOSOC Ministerial – UNESCO helped to shape the discussion leading up to and during the UN Economic and Social Council Ministerial in July. This year's ministerial session focused on the internationally agreed development goals in education, including the Education for All Goals.
UNESCO Youth Forum – On the eve of the General Conference, UNESCO hosted its 7th Youth Forum. This year, we piloted a new process for selecting the U.S. youth representatives. The process offered options for YouTube video submissions and drew heavily upon social media to spread the word. It also engaged youth in the selection of the finalists. Our two final reps – Blair Brettschneider and Andrew Leon Hanna – were outstanding. You can read their thoughts on the Forum here and here.
UNESCO Nat Com Youth Working Group hosts event in NYC – This fall, the National Commission, the State Department, and USAID co-hosted an event entitled "Youth Driving Change: Global Youth & Civic Engagement" in New York. The event, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, brought together Under Secretary of State Maria Otero and prominent youth voices from around the world to discuss how youth are shaping transformations around the world. The event was the first activity organized by our National Commission Youth Working Group. You can watch archival video of the event here.
Social and Human Science (Marlese Durr)
As of October 31, 2011 the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) Social and Human Science sector has undergone re-organization. The focus of the sector continues to emphasize and promote human rights research; advances education in human rights; leads the action in the fight against all forms of discrimination at the national, regional, and international levels; fosters cooperation among all sectors and networks; promotes democracy and further reflects on new forms and combating violence; while encouraging human rights research with its partners.
Highlighting that using the idea that UNESCO Stands for Human Rights, the work within Major Program III on Social and Human Sciences will be conducted through the following streams:
· Human Rights and Social Inclusion
· Human Rights, Democracy, Youth and Social innovation
· Human Rights and Global Environmental Change
· Human Rights and Bioethics
Natural Sciences & Engineering (Jana Hall)
- L'Oreal Science Awards
- Malta Conference
- New Organization
- Obiang Prize
- Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC)
- International Hydrological Program (IHP)
- Geoscience/Geoparks
- Biodiversity/Man and the Biosphere
Communications/Information (Aaron Mitchell)
In the Communication and Information Sector (CI), the latest projects currently underway deal with expanding access to educational and scientific information to developing countries through two initiatives: Open Educational Resources and Open Access to Scientific Research. Both initiatives aim to make publically-funded research and publications available to global audiences at no cost. UNESCO recently launched online platforms designed to expand the availability of these resources online. Additionally, the CI Sector, in partnership with the Commonwealth of Learning and the Hewlett Foundation, is planning a June 2012 international celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Open Educational Resources, which will include an updated declaration of principles and values.
In addition to the above initiatives, the CI Sector continues its work on documentary preservation, press freedom, media development, and technology competency. As the culmination of ongoing programs, the sector recently released the "UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers." This framework serves as curriculum guidance for secondary and tertiary level educators to develop coursework for increasing literacy, understanding and awareness of technological tools and their applications.
Culture (Mindy Fountain)
40th Anniversary of the World Heritage Convention
The Culture sector is gearing up for the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention in 2012. We are working with interagency colleagues on planning and developing U.S. celebrations and would appreciate suggestions and input from the Commissioners.
International Jazz Day
One of the successes of this fall's General Conference was the adoption of our resolution identifying April 30th as International Jazz Day. The first celebration will be in 2012, and preparations are already underway in conjunction with Goodwill Ambassador to UNESCO Herbie Hancock and the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz. More information will circulate as it becomes available.
The International Center for Women Artists (ICWA)
Another success at the General Conference was the approval of the International Center for Women Artists, to be established in Amman, Jordan, as a UNESCO Category II Center. As many of you know this is a project that has received leadership and support from both our Mission to UNESCO as well as members of the U.S. National Commission.
With the UNESCO Category II status now approved, it is hoped that UNESCO will help organize an international design competition for the creation of a new logo for ICWA, which will be paired with the UNESCO logo for all of ICWA's communications in the future.
Commissioner Sheree Wen is working on the formation of a new ICWA Advisory Council to bringing together international business partners to assist with development.
New Director General Elected at recent International Center for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultureal Property (ICCROM) Conference
Stefano de Caro, a highly regarded museum expert with a background in archeology, was just elected by the ICCROM Council as their new Director General. De Caro, an Italian, is based in Naples and has worked on World Heritage issues in the past.
Ongoing work on Cultural Preservation
One program we'd like to highlight for you is the U.S. Ambassador's Fund for Cultural Preservation, run out of the Education and Cultural Affairs office at the Department of State. 'This program has supported more than 700 projects in over 100 countries since its inception in 2001, including more than 100 projects at over 60 World Heritage Sites. The program has expended more than 34 million dollars towards preserving tangible and intangible cultural heritage, such as the restoration of historic buildings, assessment and conservation of museum collections, and documentation of vanishing traditional craft techniques. Especially in the current political climate surrounding UNESCO, this is a great example to use of U.S. engagement with and commitment to cultural preservation around the world. The U.S. continues its commitment to cultural preservation and also remains engaged in work related to the 1970 Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Cultural Property, and of course the 1972 World Heritage Convention.

Story highlights
- Volume includes copy of Constitution, draft of Bill of Rights
- Washington was given the papers in 1789
- Auctioned book will be displayed at Mount Vernon
George Washington's personal copy of the U.S. Constitution and a draft of the Bill of Rights sold Friday at Christie's for a whopping $9.8 million.
Ann Bookout, regent of the board of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, won the bid.
"This is our mission to bring home all things Washington," Bookout said. "We want people to know that Mount Vernon is the home of where these wonderful treasures should belong."
The 1789 annotated volume, titled "Acts of Congress," will be displayed in the Fred W. Smith National Library for the Study of George Washington, which opens in 2013 at Mount Vernon.
The near-pristine artifacts were printed and bound for Washington in his first year in office as president of the United States.
"There's no question in my mind that this book is one of the most important pieces of Americana to come to the market in decades," said Chris Coover, senior specialist for books and manuscripts at Christie's.
Washington's book has not been available since 1964.
The item had a presale estimate of between $2 million and $3 million. However, it was the final auctioned item of the day and launched a heated bidding war between two seated participants, Bookout and an unknown bidder.
"It was thrilling," Bookout said, "but I had a quiet resolve with the support of the ladies who are on the board that we were determined to bring it home."
This copy of the Acts of Congress stayed in the library at Mount Vernon after Washington's death in 1799. In 1876, many of his books, including this volume, were auctioned off.
Washington's notes and brackets line the margins of the Constitution. On the title page is his signature. On the marbled end paper is his personal bookplate, engraved with his motto, Exitus acta probat (the end justifies the means).
"It has such resonance of Washington the man," Coover said. "It was sort of a way of reminding himself what the responsibilities and duties of the president were. You can't get more evocative than that."

March 20th in history:
The Republican Party was founded on March 20th, 1854 in Ripon, Wisconsin. Many of the founders intended to establish a political party that was anti-slavery.
The start of the GOP came exactly two years after the March 20th, 1852, publication of the anti-slavery novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe.
"A Doll's House" is one of the best-known works of Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, born on this day in 1828. Born exactly 100 years later on March 20th, 1928: public TV personality Fred Rogers, who didn't just create a house, but a whole neighborhood as "Mister Rogers."
Miniature houses and other structures were shown at the start of each episode of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood." Miniature versions of New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., made out of Lego blocks, are one of the attractions at the Legoland California theme park, which opened near Carlsbad on March 20th, 1999.

Sack Squad? Isnt what it use to be! Woodley and Keisel will have to bring most of the pressure, and hopefully Hood
**** Formerly Clevestinks!****i como enormes senos
yea true, but if you watched the cards game... the LB's were teeing off. but i think Lamar and Hood w? most of the pressure, maybe troy when the move him to middle LB
Not so sure we can afford to send Troy to much this week,
**** Formerly Clevestinks!****i como enormes senos
They need to get pressure on Brady and knock him down some. Brady is a total wimp and when he gets hit, he folds like a cheap suit.
The DL and Woodley are going to have to be huge this game vs the Pats....Timmons has been a ghost besides pressuring Kolb into an INT but I'm not expecting much from him....I would send Troy this week on a blitz or two........
who is not as important as from where? The pressure MUST come from up the middle so pretty boy can't step up in the pocket.
The Steelers D has almost never gotten pressure on Brady so I will be glad to see any of them do that.
we will play them as usual hoping brady has a bad game.
we will try to stop them in the redzone.. we will lose valuable clock time for ben...
it will be a normal pats-steelers game.
our coaches never dial up a new game plan... not even the SB.
hope we win! Go Steelers..

i like snacks take on this:
Hampton, on whether Brady and New England's top-rated offense are intimidating: "We're not intimidated by nobody because we feel like when we play our game we can beat anybody. That's never been the case with us."
