Jets' Elijah Moore: Has disappointing sophomore season
Rotowire Jan 9, 2023
Moore caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 11-6 loss to the Dolphins. He finished the season with 37 catches on 65 targets for 446 yards and one touchdown. Moore was expected to take a step forward after racking up 538 yards and five touchdowns in just 11 games as a rookie. Instead, he regressed in every facet except availability. His only absence came Week 7, when Moore was sent home after requesting a trade. The second-round pick from the 2021 NFL Draft returned the following week and remains in the Jets' plans moving forward. An upgrade under center could revitalize Moore's career, but he's well behind 2022 first-round pick Garrett Wilson in the team's wide receiver pecking order.
Jets' Elijah Moore: Another two-catch game
Moore caught both of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks. After catching at least three passes in each of New York's first four games, Moore has totaled three or more receptions only twice since Week 5. His disappointing sophomore season will come to a close in Week 18 against the Dolphins. Moore heads into that game with just 36 catches for 435 yards and one touchdown in 15 appearances after racking up 43 catches for 538 yards and five touchdowns over 11 games as a rookie.
Jets' Elijah Moore: Week 17 Waiver Priority List
Moore gets a boost with Mike White back under center at Seattle, and Moore scored at least 12 PPR points in two of three starts with White before he got injured. In his last game with White, Moore had six catches for 60 yards on 10 targets at Buffalo. He should avoid Tariq Woolen by lining up in the slot, and the Jets pass attempts should be up with White back. Moore can be a No. 3 PPR receiver in Week 17.
Jets' Elijah Moore: Three targets in loss
Moore caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Thursday's 19-3 loss to the Jaguars. New York's entire offense struggled in this one, but Moore was notably out-targeted by both Garrett Wilson (nine) and Corey Davis (seven). Moore's best chance at fantasy relevance in Week 17 against the Seahawks would be the Jets getting Mike White (ribs) back under center. A Zach Wilson-Chris Streveler redux just won't cut it.
Moore has a great matchup against the Jaguars in Week 16 since Jacksonville has allowed receivers from Detroit, Tennessee and Dallas to catch 44 passes for 519 yards and five touchdowns in the past three games, with four guys scoring at least 14 PPR points. Corey Davis (concussion) and Denzel Mims (concussion) are both injured, and Moore has 23 targets in his past three outings. Now, he only has a combined 24 PPR points with those targets, but he could be in a good spot against Jacksonville if Davis and Mims are out.
Jets' Elijah Moore: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Corey Davis (concussion) could miss Week 15, which would make Moore a solid No. 3 PPR receiver. Moore stepped up in Week 14 at Buffalo when Davis got hurt with six catches for 60 yards on 10 targets, and he's now scored at least 12 PPR points in two of three games with Mike White under center. This is a great matchup against the Lions, who are No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and nine receivers have scored at least 13 PPR points against Detroit in the past four games. Garrett Wilson has top-10 upside this week in all leagues, and Moore can be a quality flex option as well.
Keep an eye on Corey Davis (concussion), and if he's out in Week 15 then consider Moore a sleeper against the Lions. Moore stepped up in Week 14 at Buffalo when Davis got hurt with six catches for 60 yards on 10 targets, and he's now scored at least 12 PPR points in two games with Mike White under center. White has to be healthy as well since he's dealing with a rib injury, but if Davis is out then consider Moore a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in most leagues, with his value higher in PPR. He's worth adding for at least 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.
Jets' Elijah Moore: Week 15 Early Waiver Targets (Add/Drop)
We're still waiting for Moore to have a true breakout, but he's trending in the right direction after Sunday's game. With Corey Davis leaving with a head injury, Moore actually led the team in targets and had his most productive overall game of the season – and he's now reached double digits in PPR points in two of his past three games. Moore is still a very talented player, and the Jets offense has a lot more life with Mike White in at QB, so he could be getting back to Fantasy relevance in time for the playoffs.
Jets' Elijah Moore: Season-high 10 targets in Week 14
Moore caught six of 10 targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Bills. Moore set season highs in catches and targets while coming four yards shy of his Week 12 season best. Mike White's insertion under center has helped Moore pick up the pace over the past three weeks after what had been a disastrous sophomore season for the wide receiver. White's status for Week 15 against the Lions is in doubt due to a rib injury, but there's a good chance that White plays and wide receiver Corey Davis (head) doesn't, which would put Moore in position for a busy afternoon against a vulnerable defense.
Jets' Elijah Moore: Quiet in Week 13 loss
Moore caught two of six targets for seven yards and added a 10-yard rush in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Vikings. Moore had room to get his second foot down on an attempted sideline catch late in the first half, but he failed to do so on a play that would have put the Jets in field-goal range. A seven-yard gain by Ty Johnson on the ensuing play followed by a 60-yard Greg Zuerlein field goal made Moore's blunder inconsequential, but that play was emblematic of the second-year wide receiver's struggles in 2022. Moore's a distant third on the Jets' wide receiver depth chart behind Garrett Wilson and Corey Davis heading into a Week 14 trip to Buffalo.
Moore had his first productive game of the season in Week 12 against Chicago with Mike White under center for the Jets, finishing with two catches for 64 yards and a touchdown on two targets. Hopefully, Moore will get more targets when the Jets are in more competitive games, which could start this week at Minnesota. I'd like to stash Moore with an open roster spot in all leagues, and he's worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.
Jets' Elijah Moore: Finds end zone in White's debut
Moore caught both of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Bears. Moore had struggled to produce with Zach Wilson under center for the Jets, but he made the most of his first touch in the second quarter, catching a well-placed pass from Mike White and bouncing off a tackle for a 42-yard gain. The second-year wide receiver's only other target came in the third quarter, and he caught it for his first touchdown of the season from 22 yards out. It remains to be seen whether White can sustain this form in Week 13 against the Vikings and beyond, but he unlocked the big-play potential of both Moore and Garrett Wilson (two touchdowns) in his season debut.
Jets' Elijah Moore: Sneaky Sleeper in PPR (Lineup Decisions)
Mike White will draw the start over Zach Wilson and that changes the outlook for every Jets receiver. As the team's primary slot receiver in games that White started during the 2021 season, Jamison Crowder drew a 13.7% target share and racked up 143 yards on 14 receptions. With Moore expected to take over that role in Week 12 with White (based on his Week 11 usage) there's an opportunity for him to be a sneaky FLEX option sleeper in PPR leagues. We're going off book with this one, and while Moore didn't crack Dave's Week 12 WR plays, I would start him over D.J. Moore, Adam Thielen and Diontae Johnson.
Jets' Elijah Moore: Two catches in Week 11
Moore caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Patriots. Moore made consecutive catches of 13 and four yards in the two-minute drill late in the first half, but that was the extent of his involvement on offense. He was the last player to touch the ball in the loss, making the curious decision to run out of bounds after a nine-yard kickoff return with no time on the clock. Moore's first two catches since Week 5 represent a small step in the right direction for the wide receiver heading into a Week 12 home game against the Bears.
Jets' Elijah Moore: Will work out of slot after bye
Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that he plans to utilize Moore out of the slot more frequently following the team's Week 10 bye, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports. After a strong rookie season during which he saw time both outside and in the slot, Moore has struggled as a sophomore. New York has used him predominantly as a decoy on the outside while featuring other options in the passing game, but more snaps in the slot could lead to more targets for the 5-foot-10 receiver. With the Jets on bye Week 10, Moore will have ample time to adjust to his new slot-heavy role before the team returns to action against the Patriots in Week 11.
Jets' Elijah Moore: No targets in Week 9 win
Moore wasn't targeted in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bills. Moore played on 45 percent of the team's offensive snaps, and while Zach Wilson threw for only 154 yards, he still directed the ball toward eight different non-Moore targets, including four wide receivers. With only one target since Week 5, the disgruntled wideout will need to string together multiple productive performances following New York's Week 10 bye before he'll be back on the fantasy radar.
Jets' Elijah Moore: Another opportunity awaits
Moore could take on a larger role Sunday against the Bills, as Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports that Corey Davis (knee) has been ruled out. Moore has been irked by a lack of targets, and the same pattern continued Week 8 against New England, as he was targeted only once despite Davis being out. Prior to complaining publicly, Moore had seen the field plenty but just wasn't getting thrown to. He then sat out a game and played only 10 snaps upon returning Week 8. With Davis still sidelined, Moore again has an opportunity to earn more playing time, and the Jets could certainly use the playmaking ability he demonstrated as a rookie in 2021.
Jets' Elijah Moore: Week 9 Waiver Priority List
Moore is only being listed here in case he gets traded at Tuesday's deadline. He appears to want out of New York, and it's hard to blame him given his lack of production -- and targets -- all season. Week 8 was a bad look when Zach Wilson attempted a season-high 41 passes in a game when Corey Davis (knee) was out against New England, and Moore had just one target. Check back here throughout the day to see if something changes with Moore, and we'll determine his FAB based on his new destination if he's traded, which is what we hope happens to save his Fantasy value.
Jets' Elijah Moore: Could play key role in return
Moore's expected to play a prominent role Sunday against the Patriots, as Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports that fellow wide receiver Corey Davis (knee) has been ruled out. Moore sat out New York's Week 7 win over the Broncos after requesting a trade due to a lack of usage, but he has subsequently been brought back into the fold. His desire for more targets could be promptly granted against New England, as the Jets will be without Davis, who leads the team with 351 receiving yards. New York may also be forced into more pass-heavy game plans moving forward after the season-ending knee injury to standout rookie running back Breece Hall.
Jets' Elijah Moore: Back with team, expected to play
Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Moore (personal) is back with the team and is expected to play Sunday against the Patriots, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Moore requested a trade ahead of the Jets' Week 7 win over the Broncos, and the wideout ultimately was made inactive by the team. Per Connor Hughes of SNY.tv, Moore being inactive wasn't a punishment, but rather because Saleh didn't want the receiver taking the field in his current mental state. With Corey Davis (knee) day-to-day, it would certainly be nice to have Moore back in the mix. Despite winning games, the Jets have struggled moving the ball through the air with Zach Wilson at the helm, though they'll likely have to lean on their quarterback more moving forward after losing breakout star Breece Hall (knee) for the season.

Top 10 in Jets offensive snaps this season (out of 1114): McGovern 1114 (100 percent) Tomlinson 1112 (99) G. Wilson 884 (79) Conklin 861 (77) Brown 746 (67) Moore 731 (66) Herbig 706 (63) C. Davis 617 (55) Uzomah 525 (47) Fant 520 (47)

@eallenjets
Couple of near-misses from White to Uzomah so far. Jets have run the ball well, 6 carries for 56 yards. Great job by Elijah Moore on third-down conversion. Just got to settle in now. 10-3. #NYJvsSEA
Randy Lange
@rlangejets
Zach Wilson had gone 66 passes w/o an INT until trying to locate Elijah Moore down left sideline, instead threw it to CB Jerry Jacobs. Lions now in business in Jets red zone.
Zach Wilson threw for 185 yards in the 1st half. He had completions of 50 to Jeff Smith (set up a FG), 40 to C.J. Uzomah (TD), 33 to Garrett Wilson (preceded the Uzomah score), 21 to Elijah Moore. #DETvsNYJ
Zach Wilson's completed 3 consec 20+ passes, latest to Elijah Moore. And his passer rating at the moment is 153.3 (5/7 for 115 yds, TD). This of course will change.

Iran's neo-liberal agenda
June 11, 2010	3:10 PM CST By Jamshid Ahmadi
On the first anniversary of the fraudulent election that secured Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's second term as president, Iran is once again under the international media spotlight. Barely three days after the United Nations Security Council imposed devastating fourth term sanctions on Iran, the fundamentalist regime has clamped down on its seething population and banned the anticipated mass protest demonstrations planned for Saturday June 12, the anniversary of the election. As the world public struggles to balance its total opposition to the UN sanctions and threats of military attack by the U.S. and its allies with its abhorrence of the theocratic dictatorship and the adventurous and ill-thought pronouncements and actions of the Ahmadinejad and his courtiers, this article exposes the true anti-popular roots and intentions of the regime and its continuing impoverishment and subjugation of the Iranian people.
As seen from the outside, Iran's Islamic regime is superficially characterised by its anti-Western foreign policy and particularly by its verbal attacks against the U.S. and Israel. There is a spectrum of opinion that interprets the regime's belligerent stance as "anti-imperialist" or rather "anti-American." However, the vast majority of progressives rightly recognize that beneath its sloganeering facade lies a theocratic and reactionary regime fronted by Ahmadinejad's illegitimate government. Less noted is the regime's neo-liberal economic doctrine and its impact on the majority of the population, the working people and the poor.
Since the ending of the Iran-Iraq war in summer 1988, the first peacetime government under Hashemi Rafsanjani, with the support of the spiritual leader (Ayatollah Khamenei), embarked on an IMF-based restructuring of the economy. Rafsanjani's era, dubbed the "Restructuring Epoch through Economic Adjustment," was based on the free market mechanisms of privatization, deregulation of the labor market, floatation of the currency and deregulation of prices. This soon left Iran's economy shattered with 49.5 percent inflation, $34 billion national debt and $22.5 billion trade deficit. At the same time, the rich got richer while the standard of living of the majority of Iran's population fell massively and structural poverty grew.
In spite of this, neo-liberal economic theory became predominant within various factions of the regime and those in power ignored the mass impoverishment they were creating. Eight years of reformist government, from 1997, led by President Mohammad Khatami, continued on the same damaging neo-liberal path, trying to create investment incentives and a secure climate for private capital in conjunction with deregulation of the labor market. However, increased private sector investment was largely concentrated on non-productive activity, chiefly the import of goods and property speculation, and the free market orientation resulted in more and more painful economic hardship for working people and increased unemployment.
These grave consequences of neo-liberal economics massively discredited the Reformist forces in the eyes of ordinary Iranians and Reformists' efforts to promote democratic changes and civic society paled into insignificance compared to the deepening poverty suffered by the majority of the people. The Reformists' unwillingness to confront economic-political corruption and the way in which the rich continued to get richer further fuelled people's mistrust.
Ahmadinejad, representing one of the most socially reactionary and economically conservative groupings within the regime, was able to capitalize on the adverse and unpopular consequences of the Reformists' neo-liberal policies and in 2005, backed by the spiritual leader and the "Islamic Guard Corps," was able to rig the election. At the same time, the Reformists, having lost credibility with the poor and marginalized, were unable to confront the new government.
At the outset, Ahmadinejad's populist slogans and attacks against the Reformists' economic plans proved popular among the marginalized and poor and certain disorganized sections of the working people, and his propaganda enabled him to pose as the people's champion, promising to alleviate chronic poverty, fight corruption and challenge the super-rich. However, it soon became clear that this rogue champion of the people had no intention of reversing the regime's neo-liberal economic plans. Unrestrained privatization and deregulation of the labor market continued at an even faster pace and workers' protests were crushed. Behind the smokescreen and his bogus anti-American and anti-corruption ranting, Ahmadinejad intended only to re-brand the regime's neo-liberal economic orientation, not change it.
Since Ahmadinejad's first term in office there have been no significant increases in productive investments. The economic growth continues to be based solely on the export of crude oil and a form of parasitic capitalism which is engaged in speculation. The net result has been increasing hardship for working people and the poor. The key difference of Ahmadinejad's economic program with the one operating before is solely the shifting of the dominant economic beneficiaries within the regime's elite. His free-market-based economic policies are designed to maximize profit and divert it towards new leading groupings in power.
Given Iran's under-developed and warped capitalist framework, the adoption of the neo-liberal economic model has been likewise distorted. However, Milton Friedman would have immediately recognized and admired certain fundamentals that are doggedly pursued by Ahmadinejad's government. Growing privatization of key public assets and the development of a "small government" that shrugs off direct responsibility for national economic development but strictly enforces a non-unionized and cheap labor workforce are examples to note.
What is missing in Iran from Friedman's neo-liberal model is a totally open competitive market. This is not because of Ahmadinejad's "anti-capitalist" outlook but because the open market has been deliberately avoided in order to preserve the interest of the oligarchs within the Islamic regime's ruling circles. The "Islamic Guard Corps" is the key political supporter of Ahmadinejad and its high command has been the main economic beneficiary of the massive privatizations under Ahmadinejad. The Guard's high command, along with its associated cronies in the regime, is now the powerful and the dominant oligarch in Islamic Iran. It will do anything lawful or unlawful to expand its economic empire, including using intimidation and direct force.
It was during Ahmadinejad's first term in office that, with the active support of Ayatollah Khamenei, the constitution was amended to require the government to privatize key state assets through Tehran's Stock Exchange. The lucrative parts of the oil industry, mines and the national telecommunication infrastructure have been the key areas targeted by the commanders of the Islamic Guard. Wherever possible Ahmadinejad's government has created single-bidder tenders with the Islamic Guard or one of its umbrella organizations as the only contender. To justify this wholesale privatization, Ahmadinejad described it as "giving people's affairs back to people" and dubbed the privatization as the distribution of "Justice Shares" where ordinary people can become share owners! This is reminiscent of Margaret Thatcher's "share owning democracy" where, as intended, few shares at all ended up with the people.
In dealing with the government's economic problems and in particular the growing budget deficit, during the last 12 months Ahmadinejad's government has embarked on its extremely right-wing "economic shock therapy" which it has dubbed the "great surgery"!
Ahmadinejad's plans aim to remove all major price subsidies and instead use this money to provide "cash payments" to the disadvantaged. This is one of the main planks of neo-liberal economics advocated by the IMF. This dangerous plan was even opposed by the Parliament that is dominated by the supporters of Ahmadinejad's rigged election. The legislation had to be forced through with the help of the spiritual leader. All experts are warning that the resulting massive inflationary rise will hurt the working people and the poor. It should be noted that Iran lacks the necessary infrastructures in order to be able to divert the so-called "cash payments" towards those in need.
Ahmadinejad's government, like its predecessors, sees neo-liberal economics as the remedy to all Iran's economic problems, while at the same time allowing the regime to protect the economic interests of its elites. Like its predecessors, Ahmadinejad's government sees the workers of Iran as a dangerous force that needs to be contained in terms of its economic demands, desire to get organized and political activities.
The brutal crackdown by the Islamic Guards on those protesting against the illegal election of Ahmadinejad and continuing imprisonments and executions are not the actions of a state protecting itself against foreign interference. It simply represents the actions of a dictatorship using brute force to protect the political power and massive economic interests of its new oligarchs.

anti-family, the exact continuation of the politics of the last five years."
(Paris) France is preparing for the presidential elections. Last Sunday, the electorate succeeded in what the opinion research institutes had already said in the weeks before. In four months the establishment, with the help of the mass media, succeeded in catapulting a former socialist baggage carrier, the Rothschild banker and minister of the outgoing president François Hollande as a "wonder worker" in a few months.The civil rights movement Manif pour tous warns against Macron and has published an denunciation: "We say no to Emmanuel Macron on 7 May."
While the government of Hollande lost all citizens' credibility and their official candidate Hamon could barely earn more than a disastrous six percent of the vote, Emmanuel Macron seems to be bursting with reliability.
Macron would be the eighth President of the Fifth Republic, but he would already be the second employee of the Rothschild Bank in the highest state office. The other was Georges Pompidou, who on 3 January 1973 prohibited the Banque de France by law from lending money to the state. Since then, the latter has had to squeeze money from private banks at high rates of interest and interest rates, including the Rothschild Bank. The four-year interim at Rothschild made Macron a millionaire. Hollande took him as an advisor to the presidential chancery after his election victory, while Macron "qualified" among the "Young Leaders" of the 2012 Graduate Class of the French-American Foundation as a Euro-Atlantic lobbyist for higher offices. In 2014 he took part in the Bilderberg meeting in Copenhagen and was promoted shortly thereafter as Minister of Economic Affairs.
The stroke of genius by the French establishment with Macron, captivating sociologists and political scientists, if they are left free and uninhibited, will continue. The masterpiece shows the importance of PR agencies, programmed image campaigns that have been thoroughly studied. It also shows how helplessly large parts of the population are at the mercy of the media manipulation of those who control the opinion-forming media. When even provincial papers from other countries, uncritically celebrated Macron after the Sunday election as a "young high flyer" of politics, they only repeat that which they themselves are fed by others. The election campaigns have long had nothing to do with reality. As a clever head said, "If elections were to change something against the will of the establishment, they would be forbidden."
Macron has a picture book career behind him, his work history reads impressively, but can not, on closer inspection, conceal the fact that he was a protege during his lifetime. And precisely as such, he is now standing as a candidate for the Elysée Palace for others who have held their protective hand over him.
On the evening of the election, the representatives of the establishment had tended to assure Macron of their vote. The citizens movement Manif pour tous , however, warns of Macron's voice, because "it is openly anti-family."
The citizens' movement had arisen from the resistance to the socialist social policy which Hollande began to enforce with uncompromising harshness after his election victory in 2012. Whether promoting abortion, legalization of gay marriage, legalizing euthanasia and "surrogacy", introduction of adoption rights for aberrosexuals and gender ideology, to kindergartens and schools, whether the criminalization of the pro-life movement or Manif pour tous, whether the open declaration of war against the Catholic Church by Socialist Ministers, Macron had never heard a word of contradiction. As a socialist party soldier, president, and minister, he was unconditionally involved in the campaign against the natural order of the family and the state.
Grand Orient of France: "We choose Macron"
On June 21, 2016, Macron, at that time still a socialist party member and an economic and industrial minister, had presented himself at the headquarters of the Grand Orient of France. Before the fraternal brothers, he was allowed to give a lecture on "Is globalization compatible with progress?" This was a non-public event. There can hardly be any doubt that it in fact involved his bid as a potential candidate for presidential elections. Two months later, he resigned party membership and ministry.
Manif pour tous: "Macron is the continuation of the policy of the past five years"
Manif pour tous, the movement which gathered millions of Frenchmen to rallies in opposition to the anti-family policy of the Hollande government, published the statement "No to Macron!" For the families, for the children, for the upcoming election. The future we will say no to Macron on 7 May," said Ludovine de la Rochére, the chairman of the movement.
"The Emmanuel Macron program is a continuation of the anti-family policy that has been imposed on France for five years."
A victory Macron means the "destruction of civilization" with "new injustices and inequalities for women and children." Politicians are bound to the general good. Macron's program represents "other" interests, "which is why we call upon all to go to the polls and vote against Macron."
Macron is not only the candidate of the Rothschild Bank and the Grand Orient of France, but also of Islam.The Grand Mosque of Paris called on the Muslims of the country to elect Macron at the election on Tuesday. Macron stands for a policy of "openness," which primarily means "open borders" for the Muslim umbrella association for mass immigration.
Movement Bloch. Addressing fellow citizens in a letter published on Francetvinfoin, a group of young officers who define themselves as such, have sworn oaths to belong to a different corps of the French army, pledged to defend their countrymen and the interests of France. Referring to Marc Bloch, these young officers rely on the spirit of resistance within the army, who has became their ideal today. For the record, we read in the letter that the Movement "Bloch denounced the maladministration of the army and the neglect of the French elite in the 1930s. Bloch was also an exemplary officer during two world wars, and part of the Resistance till when he was shot by the Nazis. We claim him because he was a true soldier and a lucid analyst through that precipitated the defeat in France." As a Dreyfusard, it's rather difficult, to say nothing of ironic, to link him to French Traditionalist Catholics, but that won't stop anyone from doing so. Still, it's easy to associate cries for the stability of the nation's defense with the reaction, and with legitimism in France.
Destruction of the French army. Already during 2011,we have read that 10,000 soldiers were deprived of their pay. "Premiums for dangerous missions are not paid, which represents a significant shortfall", complained the soldiers' families. In 2012, there are thousands of soldiers who have not yet received their salaries for the month of December, which could only tap into their savings to pay for Christmas. Regularly, many soldiers receive 150 euros a month to live. Debt, many people have been thrown into a catastrophic financial situation from bank overdrafts and having to live with their parents. The worst is that these civil servants are forbidden to give their personal opinion on the situation subject to disciplinary sanctions. Invideo posted on its website, which also evokes the secret defiance Lys Noir, General General Vincent Desportes explains that "in Mali, the Army fought with 40-year old equipment and with vehicles without air conditioning. Only 10% of the Army is up to standard. The French army is in the hands of the United States. That the United States will soon drop the need to save France and the French army because when you do not have defenses, you are attacked. The version of the White Paper in 2013 shows that the army will not be modernized."
Among the Spring demonstrators for France are the Veilleurs (Those keeping vigil, scroll down) who were arrested by the police, there are children of soldiers of the French army and many Catholics. These children of soldiers whose parents are responsible for sacrifice for France can not now accept and swallow that in their country they are treated like criminals. "The Veilleurs and 750 demonstrators were arrested during the French Spring" they say. Although the discourse in the online magazine Arsenal seems to go far in the hope of a military coup, it does not hide in how much of a deep malaise, the society is actually divided.
[Tempi] The location from which he was to have given his speech was in front of a large painting with Christian themes. When the museum officials wouldn't move or cover the "offensive" painting, Hollande then canceled his visit.
The Right and Left, the unemployed and protesters of gay marriage, all opponents of Francois Hollande had gathered April 28 in front of the Museum of Fine Arts in Rouen to protest against the policies of the socialist government. Here the French president was to inaugurate an exhibition on Impressionism accompanied by three government ministers two days ago, however, Hollande has canceled the visit.
AVOID THE DISPUTE. The French newspapers have advanced two hypotheses for the cancellation of the visit. The first is political. To avoid disputes, Hollande preferred to postpone, given that among the demonstrators there were many unemployed people ready to accuse the socialist president that unemployment in France has hit a new record: 3,000,000 and 224,000 French people are looking for work, according to data released yesterday by the national employment poll.
RELIGIOUS BACKGROUND. The second hypothesis is of very different character. In view of the president's visit, a government delegation made a visit to the museum to check where Hollande would have to give his speech. Since the "pulpit" was placed right in front of a huge canvas with a religious background, Christian to be precise, the delegation asked the organizers to move it. Impossible task, given the size of the painting. He was then asked it to be covered with a giant blue canvas.
Hollande AND CHRISTIANS. According to some newspapers, Hollande would have canceled the tour in order not to talk behind a Christian painting. Assumptions are unconfirmed but that would not be a unexpected, given that the socialist president is less than happy in his relationship with the Christian religion.


Lindsey Michelle Cactus Dahlia's are well valued for their large spiky florets. Flowering up to 120 cm tall they are very easy to grow and provide a rewarding display with very little effort. Plant the tubers with the main growing tips just below the surface of the soil. Firm the soil around the tubers, being careful not to damage them.
Some taller varieties may need staking and an occasional spray with a fungicide is beneficial to control powdery mildew. To prolong the flowering, pluck off old flowers. This encourages further flowering. Cut back spent foliage to ground level each Autumn. Available any time from August to December and can be planted through to the end of the year.

IONITY a joint venture of BMW Group, Daimler AG, Ford Motor Company, and Volkswagen Group with Audi and Porsche with headquarters in Munich, Germany, now officially opened its first 350 kW charging stations in Slovenia. These are the first HPC chargers offerring the latest global technology for charging electric cars and are located at the OMV petrol station in Ilirska Bistrica.
The Karanovic & Partners legal team, led by Senior Associate* Ermina Delic Kamencic, advised IONITY on this project. The services included: drafting and negotiating the agreements required for the construction permit, advisory in relation to the construction, as well as agreements on the grid connection and the use of the electrical network.
Each of the four units at the petrol station provides a maximum capacity of 350 kW and can charge up to 80 percent in 30 to 40 minutes. The use of Ionity chargers is eight euros gross, regardless of the time of use and the charging capacity of the vehicle. These are the first units equipped with European standards and with CCS2 to be installed in Slovenia. The standard and super chargers available thus far provide power from 22 to 75 kW. The second charging station is currenly under construction at the petrol station OMV Koper Bonifika.
The user manual for the charging units in Ilirska Bistrica is available in Slovenian and English. And when drivers need assistance, the petrol station staff is available to help. Drivers can also call the customer care centre and receive assistance in English, German and French.
The company's goal is to build a high-power charging network for electric vehicles along major highways in Europe.

Q: How to create generic method for ObjectNode put I have a use case where I need to support multiple types of values to be inserted into the ObjectNode (of Jackson ObjectMapper), however when I try to use generics it has errors Cannot resolve method 'put(java.lang.String, T)'
    public static <T> JsonNode of(String key, T value) {
        ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
        ObjectNode root = objectMapper.createObjectNode();
        root.put(key, value); // <== error shows up on this line

        return root;
}

The underlying ObjectNode does support many types for the value, e.g. <String, Boolean>, <String, String>, <String, Integer>, etc.
For full documentation Jackson
What's the correct way to do this? Thanks.

A: If you look at the signature of the ObjectNode#put method you will see that
public JsonNode put(String fieldName, JsonNode value)

the second argument is actually bound to a specific type and it is JsonNode , not just any T (much like your method allows).
So, because of the type erasure - the compiler has to ensure you provided a compatible type at compile time and I suggest you to put a suitable bound on the method, for example:
public static <T extends JsonNode> JsonNode of(String key, T value) {
    ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
    ObjectNode root = objectMapper.createObjectNode();
    root.set(key, value);

    return root;
}

making sure your method accepts only JsonNode or its descendants.

Small note 1: it is not a good thing to instantiate ObjectMapper every time the method gets called as it is a bit expensive object to create, better to make it a field.
Small note 2: The method ObjectNode#put gets deprecated since version 2.4, and it is recommended to use ObjectNode#set instead.

A: The problem is that through type erasure, the compiler will produce the method below for your generic method.
    public static JsonNode of(String key, Object value) {
        ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
        ObjectNode root = objectMapper.createObjectNode();
        root.put(key, value); // <== error shows up on this line
        return root;
}

Per Jackson documentation, there's no such method put(String key, Object value).
Instead of calling the method of(String key, T value), I would just do the following:
  ObjectNode root = new ObjectMapper().createObjectNode();
  root.put(key, value);

Or you could write write several overloaded methods of(...).

A: There is another approach that works for any json object:
Map<String, Object> map = new ObjectMapper().readValue(json, new TypeReference<HashMap<String,Object>>() {});

The object in the value can be any value object (String, Integer, etc), another Map<String, Object> as a nested object or a List<Object>/List<Map<String, Object>> and so on down to any depth.

It's that time of year again. When stores are selling cards and chocolate boxes shaped as hearts, and you are expected to have an amazing date with your significant other. But what if your better half is yourself? No worries, I have just the tips for you. Besides, the most important person in your life is you so you might as well treat yourself.
Your mind needs some time off from a stressful life. When doing yoga or meditation you leave all other thoughts at the door and only focus on the present. Since it has all to do with how you feel and nothing to with competing with others, it's a perfect way to show love to yourself.
Book a slow yoga or meditation class close to you. If you prefer being at home, Yoga with Adriene on Youtube is a great option!
Some people get energy by being around other people. Others get energy by being alone. Figure out which type you are and spend your valentines with someone who gives, rather than drains your energy. Wether that is your best friend or yourself!
Go for a walk in the park, grab a coffee or watch a movie with that energy boosting person(s)!
Take a moment and write a journal. Write down what you are grateful for, how much you have grown over the years and how far you have come. Think about everything that is good about you and your life. Forget about everything you would like to change or don't like. Improvements and constructive critique are for another day.
Being alone in public without a destination is a nightmare for many. Being alone on Valentine's day is even worse. You don't want to be the loner at a restaurant or at the cinema. But what are you really scared of? What other people might think? They don't even know you so why should you care!
Take this opportunity to go out on your own and not only treat yourself, but also go out of your comfort zone and grow as a person.
Walk around in slippers and a bathrobe at home. Light some candles, listen to music or a great podcast, put dark chocolate on a plate and pour up a glass of whatever drink you crave the most (water is also an excellent choice!). Go in the bathtub, or if you don't have one: sit down on the sofa or bed. Do a face mask, hair mask, footbath, and fix your nails.
Don't rush through it. Instead be mindful and relax. After you are done, a movie might be the perfect way to end the evening.
Are you spending time with yourself on Valentine's day? What is your best tips for self-love?

Q: Argument 5: cannot convert from 'System.Drawing.Image' to 'string' - calling class1 from Main Class I am working from my previous thread here. I am getting this error. I don't know how to solve this problem. I am trying to call class1.cs in Main class. Most appreciate if anyone can help me here. thanks in advance...
this is class1.cs
public static OleDbConnection GetConnection()
{
    var myCon = new OleDbConnection();
    myCon.ConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
    Source=C:\...Database1.mdb";
    return myCon;
}

public static void Insert(string id, string agegroup, string gender, string photoa)
{

    var con = GetConnection();
    OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand();
    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
    cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Table1 (ID, AgeGroup, Gender, photo )";
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ID", id);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@AgeGroup", agegroup);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Gender", gender);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@photo", photoa);

    cmd.Connection = con;
    con.Open();
    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
    con.Close();
}

this is my Main class where I would like to call it.
 private void btnInsert_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        Class1.Insert(textBox1.Text, comboBox1.Text, comboBox2.Text, pictureBox1.Image); // error is pointing at picture1.Image
        if (pictureBox1.Image != null)
        {
            //using MemoryStream:
            ms = new MemoryStream();
            pictureBox1.Image.Save(ms, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
            byte[] photo_aray = new byte[ms.Length];
            ms.Position = 0;
            ms.Read(photo_aray, 0, photo_aray.Length);
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@photo", photo_aray);
        }

A: problem is you sending Image but your method accepting string type
public static void Insert(string id, string agegroup, string gender, System.Drawing.Image photoa)
{
   // code
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@photo", imageToByteArray(photoa));
   // code
}

public static byte[] imageToByteArray(System.Drawing.Image iImage)
{
    MemoryStream mMemoryStream = new MemoryStream();
    iImage.Save(mMemoryStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
    return mMemoryStream.ToArray();
}

A: Well yes - your last parameter is declared like this:
string photoa

... but you're calling it with an argument of picture1.Image, which isn't a string. What text are you trying to store in the database? Or if you're trying to store the image data itself, why have you declared a parameter of type string?
We can tell you what's wrong, but you'll need to work out for yourself how you want to fix it, because we don't know your requirements. You may want to write the image to a stream, and store the binary data in the database. Or maybe you just want to store a filename in the database.
As an aside, given this question and your last one, I would strongly suggest that you take a step back and learn C# from the basics, rather than diving into GUIs and databases. It's much easier to cope with the more complicated matters later if you have a really firm grasp of the language to start with. I suggest you start with console-based apps working with core elements of the framework - collections, file IO etc. Experiment with aspects of the language (and object orientation in general) such as inheritance, overloading etc. Then when you're confident about these building blocks, you'll be in a much better position to work in more challenging situations. It's unfortunate that some books throw beginners into the deep end by starting off with databases and UIs :(

The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the 25 modern-era semifinalists for the ultimate honor in football, entry into the Class of 2019 -- and what an incredible group it is. Now I would like to take a moment to give you my personal ranking of the semifinalists.
Note that the list is NOT MEANT TO BE A PREDICTION OF THE CLASS OF 2019. Rather, this is how I would vote if given a chance, including the 15 I think should make the cut as finalists and the five I'd like to see in the Class of 2019. Many of you will likely be thankful I don't have a vote, and that's cool. Please understand that all of the men on the list are incredible players and coaches who were at the very top of their game. This is the elite of the elite, and sometimes you have to make tough choices. Go ahead and jump into my mentions and flame me.

Be sure to vote for the 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2019 before they are revealed in January.
25) Hines Ward, wide receiver (Pittsburgh Steelers, 1998-2011): Solid player who was a two-time Super Bowl winner for the Steelers. Loved him in "The Dark Knight Rises" a few years back. But Terrell Owens and Randy Moss set an incredibly high bar at the receiver position as part of the Class of 2018. And there are greats like Calvin Johnson on the horizon.
24) Tony Boselli, offensive tackle (Jacksonville Jaguars, 1995-2001; Houston Texans, injured reserve, 2002): I was a huge fan of his when he played at USC, and I thought the Jaguars made an excellent choice with their first-ever selection, taking Boselli second overall in 1995. But the fact that he played just three 16-game seasons, to me, limits his chances.
23) Clay Matthews, linebacker (Cleveland Browns, 1978-1993; Atlanta Falcons, 1994-96): He was a first-round draft pick by the Browns in 1978 and played for nearly 20 years. He was a four-time Pro Bowl selection. And yeah, this is that dude's dad.
22) LeRoy Butler, safety (Green Bay Packers, 1990-2001): Packers fans like to tell you that they didn't have a defense during the Brett Favre years. But with studs like Reggie White and Butler, that clearly was not the case. Butler was a four-time All-Pro and a member of the NFL's all-decade team of the 1990s.
21) Isaac Bruce, wide receiver (Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams, 1994-2007; San Francisco 49ers, 2008-09): Played for the original version of the Los Angeles Rams. He was a dependable receiver for a lot of years and had an amazing career. But he kind of runs into the same problem Ward has. Plus, he's eligible with a teammate who had better numbers.
20) Torry Holt, wide receiver (St. Louis Rams, 1999-2008; Jacksonville Jaguars, 2009): The most feared receiver from The Greatest Show on Turf, the St. Louis team that terrorized defenses during the early 2000s. Holt posted at least 1,300 receiving yards in every season from 2000 to '05.
19) Ronde Barber, cornerback/safety (Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1997-2012): Barber was a key member of the stellar Buccaneers' defense during the Tony Dungy/Jon Gruden eras. His 92-yard pick-six sealed the Bucs' win in the 2002 NFC Championship Game.
18) Karl Mecklenburg, linebacker (Denver Broncos, 1983-1994): In the late 1980s, it seemed like those late-afternoon AFC West contests were always the Karl Mecklenburg show. He was an All-Pro in each season from 1985 to '89, save for '88, when he played in just nine games.
17) Richard Seymour, defensive end/tackle (New England Patriots, 2001-08; Oakland Raiders, 2009-2012): He was a huge part of the Patriots' first three Super Bowl wins, and he might have been the best defensive lineman of his era. Strange how defensive players from those early Patriots title teams are now eligible for the Hall -- and Tom Brady is still out there playing.
16) Ty Law, cornerback (New England Patriots, 1995-2004; New York Jets, 2005, 2008; Kansas City Chiefs, 2006-07; Denver Broncos, 2009): Such a stud. His pick-six of Kurt Warner in Super Bowl XXXVI was such a huge moment in NFL history. I was confident in the Patriots in that game -- but that was when you thought, Whoa, they are going to win this thing.
MY PICKS FOR FINALISTS
15) John Lynch, safety (Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1993-2003; Denver Broncos, 2004-07): Lynch went to Stanford to play quarterback, and he also played baseball. Fun fact: He threw the first pitch in Florida Marlins history. Turns out, he was a pretty good football player, too. But in terms of safeties, I preferred the next guy on my list.
14) Darren Woodson, safety (Dallas Cowboys, 1992-2004): A remarkably solid player for the Cowboys during their championship-winning run of the 1990s. Everyone talks about the Triplets, but that defense was pretty great. It's weird that only one guy from that unit (Charles Haley) has made the Hall of Fame so far -- and begrudgingly, too.
13) Sam Mills, linebacker (New Orleans Saints, 1986-1994; Carolina Panthers, 1995-97): Mills began his career as an undrafted free agent who was released by the Browns. But the dude worked his way through the USFL to become one of the best who ever did it. And since this is the Pro Football Hall of Fame, his time with the Philadelphia/Baltimore Stars should be considered a help, not a hindrance.
12) Jimmy Johnson, coach (Dallas Cowboys, 1989-1993; Miami Dolphins, 1996-99): One half of the duo that rescued the Dallas Cowboys from the doldrums of the late 1980s. In addition to leading the Cowboys to two Super Bowl wins, he set the roster that delivered on another. And if I'm being honest, he wasn't that bad in Miami. It's just that last game against Jacksonville. Woof.
11) Edgerrin James, running back (Indianapolis Colts, 1999-2005; Arizona Cardinals, 2006-08; Seattle Seahawks, 2009): I always feel like that makeup game with UCLA in 1998, when he rushed for like 900 yards for Miami, put him on the Colts' radar. With Marvin Harrison already in and Reggie Wayne no doubt getting in, you have to put James in, too.
10) Alan Faneca, guard (Pittsburgh Steelers, 1998-2007; New York Jets, 2008-09; Arizona Cardinals, 2010): The Steelers had a lot of quality running backs during the Bill Cowher era, and a big reason why was the offensive line. Faneca was widely regarded as one of the best of the best during his career.

▶ AFC South primer: Camp questions
▶ Head coach power rankings
9) Steve Hutchinson, guard (Seattle Seahawks, 2001-05; Minnesota Vikings, 2006-2011; Tennessee Titans, 2012): He was a key component of Shaun Alexander's 2005 MVP season. Then he was traded to Minnesota and helped launch Adrian Peterson's Hall of Fame-caliber career. But I have to admit, I almost feel like a football hipster when I talk about linemen.
8) Kevin Mawae, center (Seattle Seahawks, 1994-97; New York Jets, 1998-2005; Tennessee Titans, 2006-09): It's always tough for the linemen, because as the old cliche goes, they only get recognized when they mess up. Mawae was a Pro Bowler in eight of his NFL seasons and a first-team All-Pro in three, and he was clearly the best at his position during his career.
7) Zach Thomas, linebacker (Miami Dolphins, 1996-2007; Dallas Cowboys, 2008): It stuns me that it's taken this long for Thomas to get consideration for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The list of superlatives for him is sizable, but you could start with the fact that he was a five-time first-team All-Pro. And a two-time second-team All-Pro. What was I missing?
6) Don Coryell, coach (St. Louis Cardinals, 1973-77; San Diego Chargers, 1978-1986): One of the most innovative minds in NFL history. He is widely credited with helping create the lineage of many of the modern passing concepts still used to this day. He's the first coach to win 100 games on both the collegiate and NFL level.
MY PICKS FOR THE CLASS OF 2019
Note: This is not reflective of my feelings of the contributor finalists or the senior finalist; rather, these are my top five picks of the modern-era semifinalists, given that each class can currently have no more than five modern-era members.
5) Champ Bailey, cornerback (Washington Redskins, 1999-2003; Denver Broncos, 2004-2013): The premier shutdown cornerback of his era. Bailey took the torch from his teammates Deion Sanders and Darrell Green and carried it. He's also interesting because he was in a weird trade for Clinton Portis. I say weird because those trades rarely happened in the NFL back then. Now you've got Jon Gruden trading Hall of Famers -- or at least one likely Hall of Famer -- like it's NBD.
4) Steve Atwater, safety (Denver Broncos, 1989-1998; New York Jets, 1999): I'm not sure if one play is going to get you into the Hall of Fame. But dude absolutely rocked Christian Okoye on "Monday Night Football" in 1990. It was the kind of play that sticks with you forever once you see it. And you know how the Hall loves to bundle its players -- an Atwater/Bailey/Pat Bowlen trio would be a nice feature, making Denver a great candidate to play in the HOF game.
3) Tom Flores, coach (Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders, 1979-1987; Seattle Seahawks, 1992-94): The first Latino starting quarterback and first minority head coach in NFL history to win a Super Bowl. Actually won two Super Bowls compared to John Madden's one. He, along with Mike Ditka, are the only people in NFL history to win a Super Bowl as a player, assistant coach and head coach.
2) Ed Reed, safety (Baltimore Ravens, 2002-2012; Houston Texans, 2013; New York Jets, 2013): Reed joined the Ravens when they were at the top of their game, but he quickly became the leader of that Baltimore defense. He won an NFL Defensive Player of the Year award and a Super Bowl ring, and he was easily the best at his position.
1) Tony Gonzalez, tight end (Kansas City Chiefs, 1997-2008; Atlanta Falcons, 2009-2013): Did you know Gonzalez played basketball in college? Amazing, right? But he's the most automatic player on this list. Retired with well over 1,300 receptions and, even in an era when tight ends evolved more into pass-catchers, he was easily the best to ever do it. Especially when you consider the number of years for which he was able to do it, too.

Q: excluding file types when packaging an rpm In my spec file for packaging a python rpm, I want to remove certain filetypes in certain directories:
e.g., I want to exclude source *.py files in these directories:
lib/*.py

comm/*.py

I think I should do this in the %file section of my spec.  Any suggestions?

A: At one point in the distant past, you did that by just not including the files you didn't want in the %file section, and so they would not be packaged.  That might have turned out to be too error prone, and so some RPM implementations started complaining about unpackaged files.  Since RPM development has always been a bit fragmented and underdocumented, it's not clear to me what the canonical solution is, but I propose that the safest way is to just remove the files at the end of your installation routine.  That approach will also easily transport to other packaging systems such as dpkg.

A: Or just remove them from buildroot:
%install
...
find %{buildroot} -name ".py" -delete

A: You need to use %exclude macro, i.e.
%files
%exclude /lib/*.py
%exclude /comm/*.py

Q: How to draw a line/stroke with custom pattern/image using core graphics? Im working on a pdf annotation app, as of now i'm able to draw a line using image in "PDFAnnotationSubtype.stamp".
Image:

using below code:
public class ImageAnnotation: PDFAnnotation{

 init(with image: UIImage!, forBounds bounds: CGRect, withProperties properties: [AnyHashable : Any]?) {
    super.init(bounds: bounds, forType: PDFAnnotationSubtype.stamp, withProperties: properties)

    self._image = image
}

override public func draw(with box: PDFDisplayBox, in context: CGContext) {
    guard let cgImage = self._image?.cgImage else { return }
    context.draw(cgImage, in: self.bounds)
}
}

Results:

Using this method I end up adding image at every CGpoint(in other words every cgpoint is separate PDFAnnotation). How do I make the entire path as a single stroke/single annotation such that when I try to erase, the entire path should get cleared instead of only few cgpoint/pixels.

A: After searching for several resources found out we can use "CGPattern" to texture the line.
Reference:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coregraphics/cgpattern
For any one else trying this make sure to play around "drawingPath" with "fill" and "stroke" modes.

beach withdrawls & florida memories | Vim & Vintage - design. life. style.
It seems like good ol' FB is just blowing up with pictures from people on their fabulous spring breaks. It really makes me miss that beach town we used to call home, Destin.
White sand beaches…Blue/green water….good friends…amazing seafood = MAJOR WITHDRAWLS.
My memory takes me back to a week after graduating from college, with my silver Cutlass stuffed to max capacity with all the clothes and necessities I could fit. I remember what it felt like to drive away, looking back at the home I grew up in, one last time. I didn't know how much my life was about to change at the time…I just knew I had a dream, and I had to chase it.
I got to FL and the first 6 months of my life was like a vacation: beach everyday, killer tan, exploring all the great spots to eat, drink and be merry. Being a tourist was like my job and damn was I good at it.
It's like one day I woke up, it was 2011. It had been 3 years since I moved to the Emerald Coast. I was working full-time, couldn't tell you the last time I went to the beach just to lay out and tan. Probably had been months. And the next thing I knew Nate got that job offer and we were moving to San Antonio. Ironically, three short weeks later, I was driving away from a place most people dream of living, starting all over again.
These pictures are fantastic! They make my heart ache for Florida, but they're fantastic!
Your suggestion to live in the moment is taken to heart. I do not do that nearly enough. It takes a conscious effort for me to do it, but you're so right. It has GOT to be done. Thank you for this post!
Glad you liked the post Sarah! 🙂 Thank you for your nice comments!

I want to go adopt one of these dogs (as the pigeon would say) RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW. Don't tell my children.
This is unprecedented. It's usually Flora telling me she wants a puppy, at the dinner table, as a means of distracting me from the reality that she is not, in fact, sitting the correct way in her seat.
"I want a puppy," he says again.
Wrong answer. Thank you for playing.
Look, I do want a dog — a puppy I'm a little less sure of. But I do want a pet. I grew up with dogs, and I always intended to have one. I've volunteered at Animal Friends (and I hope to be able to do it again someday). I've researched good family dogs (in the case that we don't go with a rescue dog).
1. The girls have to be older. They have to be able to take responsibility for a pet: feeding it, grooming it, and, most importantly, cleaning up after it. Walking it is going to be something of a family activity, especially if we get a labrador-type of dog. Which is what we are leaning toward. I am thinking Flora has to be 7 or 8 before we bring a dog onboard.
2. We have to be able to afford a dog. I know that pet food may fit in our budget right now, but vet bills definitely do not.
3. We have to have the time to give a dog, especially (again) a lab or a border collie. Given Dan's current work schedule and the girls' ages, a dog would be almost wholly my responsibility. And I'm just not ready for that right now.
4. I am willing to consider other pets, although not a) cats. I'm allergic. Plus, see "cleaning up after it". I don't do litter boxes.
b) Fish? Okay, although repeated viewings of Finding Nemo may make this inadvisable.
c) A hamster? Meh. I had hamsters as a girl, and first, they aren't the sturdiest of pets; second, they don't have a long life-span; and third, again with the cleaning. Ever clean out a hamster cage? Not as bad as a litter box. But Flora's attention span isn't enough to get her through helping me make mac'n'cheese. So "helping" me clean a hamster's cage is a dicey proposition at best.
d) What are other pet options — low maintenance pet options, if any?
Given all of this, I probably should not be looking at sites like this. Because I want one too, right now. The cuteness trumps all.
If I drink two beers in a row at night, I'm pretty much done.
I'm not as out-of-shape as I thought. I survived a 3-mile hike (mostly downhill), even carrying Monkey a mile or so. And I'm not too sore.
Two-year-olds should not go on 3-mile hikes, even if they are mostly downhill.
If you leave a child's camera outside on a picnic table, pictures will be deleted.
Even boys as young as 6 will want burn something.
Having a responsible, almost 10-year-old girl who likes young children at Cook Forest with you is priceless.
Just like with grief, there are five stages of napping: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
In a full-size bed, Bun will sleep right in the middle, perpendicular to the bed.
Monkey likes "Red Dragon Tattoo" by Fountains of Wayne. A lot. That's my girl!
Wearing white pants to a party where your children will have access to dirt and chocolate is just dumb.
Anyhoo, I sat down on the couch with Roxy in my lap. DearDR and my father were standing behind the couch. I called the girls over to see the puppy. Bun thought it was Buddy, but I was able to explain to Monkey that this was a new puppy. She called Roxy Buddy's little sister all weekend.
I called over my shoulder to DearDR, "Did you see this?" He peeked over my shoulder to see the pup in my lap, with both girls petting it. "Oh!" he said.
"This is the girls' Christmas gift from my parents!" I exclaimed, all excited.
The look on his face was priceless. He clearly wanted to throw his hands out and yell, "NOOOOOOO!" But his manners dictated that he turn to his father-in-law and graciously thank him.
He was saved by the fact that both Pap-pap and I cracked up at his expression.
"That was cruel," my father said.
It was cruel. DearDR was running on about four hours of sleep; he had joined some of his high school classmates at a local bar to welcome back one of their own who had just returned from Iraq. They ended up closing the place, and I don't think DearDR's head was feeling that great.
But, still, totally worth the price of admission.
I created an account for her on flickr, and I will be uploading her stuff there for now. I'm not crazy about flickr; it doesn't feel that intuitive to me, so I'm finding it hard to navigate. I love me some Picasa, and I was going to use that on my Mac for Monkey, but Picasa doesn't work with Mac OS, which is a serious oversight IMO. I want to keep Monkey's pictures separate from mine. For so many reasons!
Wow! You got a camera!
Wow! I got a shirt!
At least they are going to be interesting pictures.
And everyone will look really tall.
What Are You Doing Back There?
How Long Can I Hold My Breath?
Edited to add a Nanny Update: Nanny is doing very well. She was released from the Coronary Care Unit into a regular room Tuesday; they are talking about releasing her from the hospital on Friday. My in-laws are making plans to go to Florida (a Christmas gift from my FIL's brother), so the next decision is where exactly Nanny will be going when she gets released. I imagine our plans New Year's Day will be a quick trip to the hospital to wish her a Happy New Year! Which is great, compared to the alternative.
My sister, known here as SoulSista, has a 12-year-old Boston terrier named Buddy. He's in pretty good health for an old man of a dog, but SoulSista knows that he's not going to live too much longer.
On the Friday after Christmas she called me at work.
"Do you remember the conversation you had with Cousin K about picking out a puppy?" she asked.
"Did I have kids at the time?" Because I have had entire conversations while monitoring my children — or while being pregnant — that I would be hard pressed to recall.
"Why are you picking out a puppy?" I practically yelled.
Well, maybe we just should have started there, SS. "Okay," I said.
"Do you think I would sound this calm if something happened to Buddy?" she asked.
When we got to Erie, SS presented Roxy, a 9-week-old brindle (I think that's the correct term) Boston terrier.
And now I (and Monkey) want one too. The day we were leaving Erie, Monkey sat on my lap, and Roxy was laying in Monkey's lap, sleeping (and snoring — much more adorable in a Boston terrier pup than in, say, an almost-40-year-old husband).
Not this year, Monkey. But soon — sooner for me than for you, because three years sounds like an eternity to you. But someday I am going to turn around, and you are going to be 7 years old. And I will buy you (and your sister) a puppy. Promise.
This is Roxy. And SoulSista.
Monkey took this one with her new digital camera. Yes, HER camera. More later.
This one, too. Roxy and Buddy.

The laws regarding kashering glass are especially confusing, because the opinions range from one extreme to the other: Rashba & Ran hold glass does not . Whether glass can be koshered – not only for Passover, but also whether non- kosher glassware can be koshered for year-round use – is the subject of debate. Koshering a smooth top electric range, e.g. glass, Corning, Halogen or Ceran, is more problematic. The elements of the stove can be turned on until they come.

Sports Trophy Trivia
Posted on February 3, 2010 by Jane
The winner of the NBA is awarded the Larry O'Brien Trophy. This trophy replaced the Walter A. Brown Trophy which was awarded from 1949 until 1977. The trophy was a challenge cup which means that the winning team would keep the trophy for a year and then return it to the league to be given to the next winner. The Cup was simply called the NBA Finals Trophy until 1964 when it was renamed the Walter A Brown Trophy.
Walter Brown, (1905 – 1964) was the first owner of the Boston Celtics. He played a major role in uniting the BAA and the National Basketball League into today's NBA. The Walter A. Brown trophy is on display in the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield Massachusetts. In 1977 a new trophy was designed for the league, but the name remained the same.
In 1977 with the creating of a new trophy for the NBA, the association also decided that the trophy would be won outright by a team each year. This meant that a new trophy had to be made every year. The trophy which depicts a basketball going into a net is made by Tiffany and Co. each year at a cost of about $14 000. The trophy is made out gold plated sterling silver and stands about two feet tall. Each year the trophy has the name of the winning team and the year engraved on it.
The trophy was renamed the Larry O'Brien Trophy in 1984. Larry O'Brien ( 1917-1990) was the commission of the NBA for eight years. He held the office from 1975 to 1983.
The Indianapolis 500
The winner of the Indianapolis 500 is presented with the Borg-Warner Trophy. The cup is a challenge cup, meaning that it is not won outright, bbut rather it remains in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum. Each year since 1936, the trophy has been presented to the race's winner in the winner's circle after the race. After the race, the name of the driver, the date and his average speed is engraved on the trophy. A likeness of the driver's face is also engraved on the trophy.
The trophy itself was designed by Robert J. Hill and Gorham Inc. and cost $10 000. The trophy is just under five feet tall and weighs almost 153 lbs. It is made out of sterling silver. At the top of the trophy is a man waving a checkered flag. The trophy has had to be expanded to accommodate more names throughout the years. The entire trophy is covered with small pieces that alternate between a likeness of the driver and the information about the driver. The trophy has been valued at more than $1.3 million US dollars.

No upcoming league rounds are scheduled.
Join us every Saturday at Coldbrook Park for Pro/Am doubles. $9 to play in the doubles, ($5 goes to the payouts, $2 to the Ace Pool, and another $1 to a cash CTP). (When there's a tournament conflict at Coldbrook, meet at Begg Park in Springfield, same time).
Just a reminder that the league party is coming up really soon. Please bring a dish to pass. I STILL NEED STUFF FOR THE THE RAFFLE.(disc's,mini's,towels,stickers,banners, gift certificates). This year there will be a 5th and a mini keg in the raffle. Beer is also furnished. Must be 21 if you are planning on drinking and get a campsite or designated driver. Regular doubles first round. Then lunch (barbeque pulled pork from hog zilla). Then high/low doubles with $200.00 added cash. This is how the high/low doubles works. I give points for teams that have cashed. You also need to have played 20 weeks to get in the high/low doubles. If you have not played the 20 weeks and want to get in the high/low doubles you can pay the difference so if you have played 15 weeks you'll pay $5.00 to get you to the 20 weeks then the $5.00 to play the high/low doubles plus $1.00 ctp. If you have played the 20 weeks and or pay the difference to get into the high low doubles you will get a league shirt. After the high/low doubles we will have the raffle for the Kalamazoo Dream Center which helps Veterans and the homeless. After the raffle I'll be playing Frisbee or hacki sack.
