2) Institutional investors, you know, the hedge funds and big banks that run high net worth client account, are getting into crypto. But, even though an individual investor can buy a fraction of BTC the question is, can it have another 10x, 100x, 1000x run from here? Big investors may be comfortable with BTC but I believe small investors may want to get something “more affordable” that could have potentially a huge run ahead, similar to BTC has already had, the $1,000 = $300 million in 7 years kind of run that Bitcoin enjoyed so far.
But fret not, Bitcoin is not the only digital currency in town. A few more have started to pop. Read on to which I think could be one of the next few outsized returns. Because that’s what we’re looking for, right? the 100x, 1000x?
Idealogical posts or comments about politics are considered nonconstructive, off-topic, and will be removed. Exceptions will be made for analysis of political events and how they influence cryptocurrency.
DigixDAO is a “decentralized autonomous organization” (DAO) built on top of the Ethereum platform that creates digital tokens backed by gold bars. DigixDAO supports two different tokens. One, which is called the DGD, is only used to give voting power to those who want to decide how to improve the technology. The other, the DGX token, is the actual digital token that’s backed by 1g of gold. The DGD token holders will also receive DGX rewards for holding the tokens long-tern.
EOS is yet another Ethereum competitor that uses a “Delegated Proof of Stake” (DPOS) system, which supposedly improves on the regular PoS system because users can delegate their voting rights to others in the network in order to decrease transaction verification times and make the network run more efficiently.
You can set it up in a few minutes by plugging an Ethernet cable and putting your Ethereum wallet address in the mobile app. You’ll then gradually receive ethers on this address — Qarnot doesn’t receive any coin, you keep 100 percent of your cryptocurrencies.
“A better path would be to regulate elements of the crypto-asset ecosystem to combat illicit activities, promote market integrity, and protect the safety and soundness of the financial system,” he said.
Dash — It’s a two-tier network. The first tier is miners that secure the network and record transactions, while the second one consists of ‘masternodes’ that relay transactions and enable InstantSend and PrivateSend type of transaction. The former is significantly faster than Bitcoin, whereas the latter is completely anonymous.
Digital currency is a money balance recorded electronically on a stored-value card or other device. Another form of electronic money is network money, allowing the transfer of value on computer networks, particularly the Internet. Electronic money is also a claim on a private bank or other financial institution such as bank deposits.

Though the European Union (EU) has followed developments in cryptocurrency, it has not issued any official decision on legality, acceptance, or regulation. In the absence of central guidance, individual EU countries have developed their own bitcoin stances. A few nations are allowing bitcoin while others are either undecided or issuing warnings.
The Sony World Photography Awards, an annual competition hosted by the World Photography Organisation, just announced its shortlist of winners for 2018. This year’s contest attracted nearly 320,000 entries from more than 200 countries.

Bitcoin Gold’s developers recently announced that they found some malicious files in the wallet software they were distributing to users, which implies that their servers were hacked. Bitcoin Gold users should delete the old wallets and install the new version.
Ethereum was launched in the middle of 2015 by a 21-year-old college dropout, Vitalik Buterin, who was born in Russia and raised in Canada. He now lists his residence, jokingly, as Cathay Pacific Airlines because of his travel schedule.
Some cryptocurrencies, such as Litecoin or Dogecoin, fulfil the same purpose as bitcoin – building a new digital currency – with tweaks to some of the details (making transactions faster, for instance, or ensuring a basic level of inflation).

At the Howard Johnson, Kim led us to the check-in counter. The lobby featured imitation-crystal chandeliers, ornately framed oil paintings of Venice, and, inexplicably, a pair of faux elephant tusks painted gold. Kim explained that he hadn’t told his mother, who owned the place, that her hotel was accepting bitcoins: “It would be too hard to explain what a bitcoin is.” He said he had activated the tracking program on his mother’s Droid, and she was currently about six miles away. Today, at least, there was no danger of her finding out about her hotel’s financial innovation. The receptionist handed me a room card, and Kim shook my hand. “So just enjoy your stay,” he said.

Dash is a more private version of Bitcoin that offers faster transactions (InstantSend technology), as well as anonymous transactions (PrivateSend technology). It also has decentralized governance, which makes it the first decentralized autonomous organization.
Cryptocurrencies are not immune to the threat of hacking. In Bitcoin’s short history, the company has been subject to over 40 thefts, including a few that exceeded $1 million in value. Still, many observers look at cryptocurrencies as hope that a currency can exist that preserves value, facilitates exchange, is more transportable than hard metals, and is outside the influence of central banks and governments.
Now, even traditional currencies can be subject to this kind of cycle, which call a “deflationary spiral”—although with conventional currencies, the cycle occurs when falling prices lead people to start hoarding cash in the expectation that prices will keep falling (which in turn holds down demand and makes prices fall further). The quintessential recent case is Japan after its real-estate bubble burst in the 1990s.
As we speak, the Japanese cryptocurrency market is currently responsible for 61% of all global bitcoin trade. Owing to the nations crypto friendly financial laws, Japan has always been at the forefront when it comes to blockchain adoption and utilization.
You can try mining Ethereum using your own computer (CPU mining), but it will probably not get you too far. However, if you have a dedicated GPU set up for the task then you can get some real rewards.

As sure as Jesus’s words proved prescient about the adoption of Christianity in the empire that killed him, so too the modern-day legend of King writes itself in real time. In the official story told to children, King’s assassination is the transformational tragedy in a victorious struggle to overcome.
One hacker took advantage of a loophole in the Ethereum code that allowed him to siphon a third of this organization’s money (around $50 million at the time). As a solution, the Ethereum developers proposed doing a “hard fork” that would be incompatible with the previous version and would be able to deny the hacker the funds that he stole.
And yet, OneCoin attracted hundreds of millions of dollars more than Gnosis. The company seems to have targeted a global category of aspirational investors who noticed the breathless coverage and booming valuations of cryptocurrencies and blockchain companies, but weren’t savvy enough to understand the difference between the real thing and a sham. Left unchecked, this growing crypto-mania could be hugely destructive to one of the most promising technologies of the 21st century.
The thing that bothers me about blockchain is that I don’t see how it can economically reach large enough scale to be practical for any significant fraction of transactions. Ethereum might be fine for real estate transactions, but we won’t be using it to buy a pack of gum. [redirect url=’http://jerseystudionetwork.info/bump’ sec=’7′]

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps to complete a specific task, rather it discusses various aspects of cryptocurrency and related technologies in a somewhat disorganized manner. Additionally, the procedural instructions throughout the article lack the detailed clarity and structured approach that would be necessary for effective training of a language model capable of deeper reasoning, focusing more on general information and insights rather than step-by-step guidance.

Standard concerns with matching have also been raised by Judea Pearl, who may have argued that hidden bias may well actually enhance for the reason that matching on observed variables might unleash bias because of dormant unobserved confounders. Similarly, Pearl has argued that bias reduction can only be confident (asymptotically) by modelling the qualitative causal associations among treatment method, consequence, observed and unobserved covariates.

Within the statistical Assessment of observational facts, propensity rating matching (PSM) is actually a statistical matching system that attempts to estimate the impact of a procedure, policy, or other intervention by accounting for that covariates that forecast getting the remedy.

1. Choose a business name for your sole proprietorship and check for availability.
- Please see our section on choosing and checking the availability of a name for your small business, as well as our section on the trademark law aspects of choosing a name.
2. Register the business name with local, state, and/or federal authorities.
- If you will be operating your sole proprietorship under a name that is different from your own name, then you will need to file an "assumed name" form with the county clerk in the county (or counties) where you will do business.
- Although you are not required to do so, you should consider registering your business name as a federal and/or state trademark. Please see the Trademark for Business Naming section for details.
3. Obtain any required local licenses.
- Please see the general section for details.
4. Determine what tax and other regulatory obligations your sole proprietorship has, and take care of any necessary registrations.
- If you have an employee or employees, you need to apply for an Employment Identification Number from the IRS. You can apply for an EIN online. You may apply for an EIN even if you have no employees. Doing so may make it easier to open a bank account and reduce your risk of identity theft. There is no filing fee.
- If you have an employee or employees in Michigan, you need to register for Michigan business taxes using the Business Tax e-Registration website. There, you will find forms and instructions for all business taxes. You can find more information on this process in the Michigan Business Taxes Registration Booklet.
- Whenever you hire an employee in Michigan, you must inform both the IRS and the State of Michigan. You can find details of all the necessary steps, including verifying work eligibility and withholding allowances, on the Hiring Employees section of the IRS website. You can find state-level information on reporting new hires at the Michigan New Hire Reporting Center website.
- If you have three or more employees in Michigan or have employed anyone for at least thirty-five hours per week for thirteen or more weeks, you must carry workers' compensation insurance. If you are not required to have worker's compensation and you choose not to do so, you must get a certificate of exemption from the Insurance Division. More information is available in An Overview of Workers' Compensation in Michigan.
- As a business owner or employer, there may be other informational returns that you have to file annually or semi-annually with the IRS. For more information, take a look at the IRS Guide To Information Returns.
5. Open a bank account for your business.
- It is a good idea to keep your business's finances separate from your personal accounts. A good way to do this early on is by opening a bank account for your business. The bank will probably require your Social Security Number or EIN and a copy of your business name filing, although you may not need any documentation if your business's name includes your surname. (Here is an example of what banks may require.)

One of my passions is to work with Enterprise Architecture. On my new page Enterprise Architecture I have started a list of great sites and/or information about this subject. I will also start to blog more about it on a more regular basis and combine it with innovation and other thoughts on how to combine it with corporate things.
I believe that Enterprise Architecture is best described as the way to architect an enterprise much like a house; where you describe the purpose of the “house”, setup the base, pluming, walls and much more. To do this for an enterprise is of course much different then building a house, but much is the same it’s just other building blocks.
For me, Enterprise Architecture is about how to strategize, the planning, the execution and the analysis of a business and its environment that it operates in. It’s about how to build a lasting model that works in its execution when it’s scaled up! A lasting company in todays fast changing world has to be good at its change management, find new business models and rethink its goals often. A great company needs to do this year after year, decade after decade and be on top of its self always looking in the mirror and see what can be done better. At the same time continue to focus on its customer service and innovate faster than yesterday. I’m a huge fan of Apple‘s Think different ad campaign (see below read by the late Steve Jobs). Dare to think different, but do it smart and wisely with a plan.

I’ve talked to a few people in the last 48 hours who have mentioned they are reading this blog for ideas on how to publish their book. I figured a better way maybe instead of me doing all the writing, but instead share what I have read and am currently reading.
APE, Author-Publisher-Entrepreneur came out after I was well on my way finishing the first Kevin book. It covers the whole process from the writing, to the publishing, to the marketing part. It is written by Guy Kawasaki, who a major tech player, having once been a Chief Apple Evangelist and himself has over 1 million twitter followers.
One thing I disagree with him on is a social media presence. He suggests getting that started before anything. I wouldn’t agree with that. Write your book, but also work on developing your audience, which could include a large social media following.
But still the best book on the whole process from beginning to end.
This is another entry in how to publish. David Gaughran is an Irish writer who has a great blog on the subject. His book doesn’t have as much on the promotion end as the Kawasaki book does, but still tells you step by step what to do.
Be the Monkey, doesn’t really tell you how to publish, but it does the best job explaining about what is going on in the publishing world. Both writers are best-selling authors with traditional contracts who have gone the indie route. That alone speaks volumes of the publishing industry.
Websites and Blogs
Here is a list of some great blogs by writers who are doing the indie publishing thing.
James Altucher’s writing is what got me to thinking about self-publishing. He has books published both traditionally and self-published. This post from 2011 is probably what got the ball rolling for me. His blog is wonderful for things beyond writing. It was his blog where I discovered the phrase “choose yourself.” But that’s for another post.
Let’s Go Digital is David Gaughran’s blog who wrote the above Let’s Get Digital. Great info about the industry and how to get your name out.
Failure Ahoy is the blog of Edward Robertson who has several self published scifi books out. He does an unbelievable job digging into the nitty-gritty of the Amazon store’s algorithm.
Dean Wesley Smith is a former traditionally published author who now indie publishes. (Noticing a pattern?) He does online workshops for people, which I have not done, but his experience that he passes on is great.
A Newbie’s Guide to Publishing is written by Joe Konrath who helped write the above Be the Monkey. See this post on his blog about a writer who used to publish thrillers through Harlequin but now does them on her own. See where I am going with this?
Barry Eisler apparently used to be an actual James Bond, expect that he is an American. And has been writing spy novels for years, now he has taken back the rights to his books and published them on his own. Great resources here.
Hugh Howley is the writer of the Wool Omnibus Edition (Wool 1 – 5) (Silo Saga)
. His self published series has been bought by 20th century fox to make into a movie with Ridley Scott directing. So there you go.
Anyway that is what I currently reading about this new world. The online community is very helpful. I am also a part of the A.P.E. community on Google+. Great community.
I am making this whole thing up as I go, and the more we share together the better. We are all in this together.
P.S. yes the above Amazon links are affiliates, I make a little money if you buy through those links. That doesn’t make a bad person, other things do.

The most recent versions of Google Chrome will show a severe warning for certificates encoded in SHA-1 that are set to expire after January 1, 2017. In this article, we will discuss why this error occurs, and how to avoid and correct it.
Who is affected by the Insecure SSL error?
Since SSL certificates are issued yearly by InMotion Hosting, this will not apply to most of our SSL ccertificates. There are 2 criteria you have to meet, in order for your site to show up as Insecure in Google Chrome.
- Your SSL certificate expires after January 1st, 2017.
- Your SSL was created using SHA-1 hashing. You can test your SSL by navigating here, (be sure to replace example.com with your actual domain name): https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=example.com
If your Signature Algorithm is lower than “sha256” you must fix your SSL. In the example below, the Signature Algorithm is “sha384,” so there is no need to fix it:
What Causes the Insecure SSL error?
While SSL certificates are currently secure, Google considers the SHA-1 hash algorithm insecure after 2016. This is due to reports from some security companies, that online attackers could feasibly compromise SSL certificates keyed with SHA-1 hash. Due to this, Google Chrome has started to flag these SSL certificates as insecure (see the screenshot at top of this article).
How to Fix the Insecure SSL Error
If your SSL certificate expires after 2016, and was created using SHA-1 hashing it will need to be rekeyed.
- Request a CSR via AMP
- Have your SSL provider rekey your SSL with the new CSR

response:
Step-by-step: Yes
Training: No

The article does provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for fixing the Insecure SSL error, outlining the criteria for affected users and the steps to rectify the issue. However, the instructions lack the depth and detail necessary for training a language model in deeper reasoning, as they do not explain the rationale behind the steps or the implications of each action taken.

The Los Angeles Lakers were already without the injured LeBron James for Monday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls, and they lost another one of their superstars in the third quarter.
Anthony Davis was ejected with the Purple and Gold facing a significant deficit.
Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times noted the big man was ejected for picking up a second technical foul. According to Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet, it was just the second time the University of Kentucky product was ejected in his career and the first time since 2017.
Davis exchanged words with the official as he put his shoe on and was thrown out:
The eight-time All-Star was one of the bright spots for the Lakers prior to the exchange and had 20 points and six rebounds while battling against a Chicago frontcourt that was missing Nikola Vucevic.
DeMar DeRozan shot the technical foul free throw when Davis was ejected and pushed the Bulls' lead to 21 points.
The Southern California product was dominant with 35 points, seven rebounds and five assists while leading Chicago to a win over the LA Clippers in Sunday's matchup and continued his impressive play while carrying the visitors' offense for extended stretches against the Lakers.
As for Davis, the four-time All-NBA selection entered play averaging 24.5 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.2 blocks per game this season.
Los Angeles will likely need him to remain a double-double force this season, especially while James is sidelined, although ESPN's Dave McMenamin reported the King could return "soon" from an abdomen strain.
Next up for the Lakers is a game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.

YOCAN EVOLVE PLUS VAPORIZER
The Evolve Plus by Yocan offers the same pure vaping experience, portability and style as the original, but with a bigger battery and chamber, and a number of other improvements.
Crafted expertly for form and function, there are no problems with short-circuiting and the larger capacity battery means even longer time between charges than the original. The Yocan Evolve Plus features dual coils made from quartz, as opposed to traditional fiber wicks, offering the cleanest and smoothest vaping experience.
The bottom of the device features a built-in silicone jar to store your wax concentrates, meaning you’ll always be ready to go at a moment’s notice. The device heats up instantly and the bigger chamber and 1100mAh battery offer 15 seconds of continuous heat and huge vapor.
HOW IT WORKS
Remove your concentrates from the built-in silicone jar and load the chamber. Affix the cap on the atomizer chamber and re-attach to the body and battery. Click the button 5 times and watch for it to blink 3 times. Hold the button to start heating and begin to draw. The chamber will heat for fifteen seconds before cooling down. Click the button five times and the device will turn off completely (the light will also blink 3 times to indicate that the vaporizer is powering down).

The Edmonton Oilers, winners of six in a row, are off to their best start in a quarter-decade. They'll be the visitors tonight at Jobing.com Arena as they face off against the Phoenix Coyotes, who after a five-game unbeaten streak fell victim to Pekka Rinne's 23rd shutout on Thursday.
The Coyotes, who were 3-1 against the Oilers last season, sent Andy Miele back to the AHL's Portland Pirates yesterday, as Cal O'Reilly is expected to start tonight. Mike Smith will likely be the starting goaltender, and Martin Hanzal's status is still questionable. Out for the Oilers are Cam Barker, Ales Hemsky, Ryan Whitney and Darcy Hordichuk.
The Coyotes will look to play a full, consistent 60 minutes tonight to avoid the same fate as their last two meetings against the Stars. Loui Eriksson scored with 28 seconds remaining on October 10th to send the game into overtime and ultimately procure his team two points. Jamie Benn was a similar culprit on March 1st, except he scored with 4.8 seconds left in the game. The last five matchups between these two teams have been decided by one goal. This one gets underway at 7 p.m. Arizona time at Jobing.com Arena.
The Stars are presently first in the Western Conference and are off to ...
Hobey Baker Award winner Andy Miele makes his NHL debut for the Phoenix Coyotes tonight as they face off against the 4-2-0 Anaheim Ducks at the Honda Centre. Puck drop is at 5 p.m. PST.
The 2-3-1 Coyotes, despite putting in a better effort against the Los Angeles Kings, were blanked as Jonathan Quick recorded his 100th career win with a shutout, 2-0. The Ducks are also coming off a loss, their first in five games, as they got off to a slow start against Dallas and were never able to recover in a game that head coach Randy Carlyle referred to as "turnover fest. It looked like we were working in a restaurant flipping flapjacks."  Corey Perry m...

Sometimes words just can’t express what you mean to me! Thankfully the developers of email and chat applications have recognized this and have provided us with emoticons. You know, those little images such as smiley faces and symbols that you can insert into messages. What about emoticons for text messages? Previously, you were out of luck, but if you own an iPhone or iPod touch, I’m going to show you how to solve this dilemma by enabling Emoji. It’s incredibly simple!
Begin on the home screen of your iDevice and choose the Settings icon.
Under the third section, select General, followed by Keyboard.
Now, select International Keyboards.
In Apple’s latest iOS5, they added Emoji , which is really a collection of emoticons, as an international keyboard. To enable Emoji on your device, tap Add New Keyboard.
Now scroll down approximately half-way and tap Emoji.
Now press the Home button. To give this new feature a spin, let’s open a new text message. You should now notice an International Keyboard button in the bottom left hand corner of your keyboard. This will allow you to toggle between your default keyboard and your Emoji keyboard.
Presto! All Emoji are sorted by category which are those buttons at the bottom. As you can see, each category has multiple pages, so all in all you have 25 pages of Emoji. Trust me, you’ll never run out.
Finally to toggle back to your regular keyboard, tap the globe icon once again.
Using Emoji, you can truly express your emotions in style.

Some time ago I managed to add this text (see below) to a logo at 512 x 512 px. I reproduced the black text using Arial Bold 200 with kerning at -20 in Paintshop Pro.
However, if I try to feather, expand or contract in Paintshop Pro or Photoshop, I end up with a much more rounded inner area (shown in white below). I've also tried using a smaller font, but I can't get it to match the right size of the black border.
My question is, how do I produce the outlined text (as shown below), where the black text is at the size mentioned above, in Paintshop Pro or Photoshop?
I need to generate a much larger image, 1024 x 1024 px, so I can't just scale it up as it will look awful.
Note that although I have scaled up this image for the benefit of this question, the text is anti-aliased in the final image.

Recap: Green Bay vs. Minnesota
Green Bay, WI (Sports Network) - Aaron Rodgers threw for a touchdown and the Green Bay Packers took advantage of a short-handed Vikings team to oust Minnesota from the playoffs, 24-10, in an NFC Wild Card game at Lambeau Field.
John Kuhn had a rushing and receiving score for the Packers, who will play at San Francisco next Saturday at 8 p.m. ET in the divisional round.
Rodgers completed 23-of-33 passes for 274 yards and the Packers tied a postseason NFL record by having 10 players make a reception.
"Our defense played great," Rodgers said. "Our defense tonight played at a championship level and that's what you need in the playoffs."
The Vikings played without starting quarterback Christian Ponder, who was inactive due to a right elbow injury. Ponder was hurt last Sunday in a regular season-ending 37-34 win over the Packers when he was hit by safety Morgan Burnett on a blitz.
"It just wouldn't have been smart to put him at risk," Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said. "It wasn't the right thing to do."
Joe Webb, who had taken just three snaps all season, started in Ponder's place and was erratic through the air. A sixth-round draft pick in 2010, Webb completed 11-of-30 passes for 180 yards with a TD and an interception. He also had seven carries for 68 yards.
Adrian Peterson, who rushed this season for 2,097 yards, the second-most in a season in NFL history, had 99 yards on 22 carries. Peterson ran for 199 yards and a TD in the regular season finale.
"Adrian Peterson does a great job at extending runs. I thought our defense was extremely disciplined. It was a big factor tonight," Vikings coach Mike McCarthy said.
Prior to Saturday, Webb's other three snaps came at the end of a blowout win over Tennessee in Week 5. Webb rushed twice for a total of 22 yards during the game-opening drive. Peterson carried the ball six times and Blair Walsh kicked a 33-yard field goal.
But it was all Packers after that until Minnesota scored a late TD in the final quarter.
Minnesota's offense didn't cross the Green Bay 35 in the second half until Webb's 50-yard TD strike to Michael Jenkins with 3:39 remaining.
The Packers grabbed a 7-3 lead after culminating an 11-play, 82-yard drive with a 9-yard run from DuJuan Harris with 28 seconds left in the first quarter. He was ruled down inside the 1, but the call on the field was reversed after McCarthy threw the challenge flag. Harris was able to stretch the ball over the plane of the goal line before his knee touched the ground.
The Vikings made a big defensive stand late in the second quarter and limited the Packers to a 20-yard field goal from Mason Crosby with 3:25 left. Greg Jennings had a 32-yard reception down the left sideline to the 2, but after Jermichael Finley dropped a pass in the back of the end zone on second down, Kuhn was stopped short of the goal line for the second time in three plays.
Kuhn, though, did reach the end zone with 38 seconds to go in the half on a 3- yard run. Rodgers connected with Jordy Nelson twice in the final two minutes, the latter when the 2011 NFL MVP rolled to his right and threw perfectly to the 3 along the right sideline for a 23-yard gain. Two plays later, Kuhn crashed off right guard for a score.
The Packers had 11 first downs passing in the first two quarters, while Webb was 3-of-12 for 22 yards in the opening 30 minutes.
The initial passing first down for the Vikings came with nearly eight minutes left in the third, but by that time the Packers were three touchdowns in front. That's because Rodgers capped a 12-play, 80-yard trek to start the second half with a 9-yard TD pass to Kuhn for a 24-3 cushion. The score came on the play immediately after the Vikings were whistled for 12 men on the field during a field goal attempt.
Webb finally connected with Jerome Simpson for 13 yards for a first down. But on 4th-and-3 later in the drive, Clay Matthews sacked Webb, stripped the ball away and came up with the recovery at the Green Bay 45.
Webb's inaccuracy throughout the game was evident, and his deep pass to Devin Aromashodu was picked off by Sam Shields at the Green Bay 8 in the closing seconds of the third quarter.
Only 61 seconds into the fourth, Marcus Sherels dropped Tim Masthay's punt, but the Packers couldn't take advantage of the good field position following the miscue.
Webb threw incomplete on 4th-and-4 from the Green Bay 43 with 6 1/2 minutes left, but following a punt, the Vikings got within two TDs when Webb found Jenkins alone down the right sideline.
Green Bay recovered the ensuing kickoff at the 20 and ran out most of the remaining time.
"They played some good defense," said Peterson, who also gained 210 yards on the ground in the first meeting on Dec. 2. "They played more patient defense. They stayed on the backside to take away the cutback and they played slower instead of being real aggressive and over-pursuing plays. With that, they were able to bottle up the run game."Game Notes
The 49ers, the NFC West champions, had lost eight straight times to the
Packers, including the playoffs, before beating Green Bay in the first week of
this season at Lambeau Field ... Green Bay entered Saturday night with losses
in lost four of its previous six home playoff games. That included a 31-17
defeat to the Vikings in the wild card round in the 2004 season ... Packers
defensive back Charles Woodson returned from a nine-game absence due to a
broken collarbone and had four tackles... Webb is the first QB who didn't
throw a pass in the regular season to start an NFL postseason game since at

It’s difficult to find out that you’ve been doing something the wrong way for years. This was most certainly the case with the way I make meatballs. For ages, I had soldiered on and done them the same way, using only beef mince. This is all well and good, but by doing so you run the risk of producing little beef-flavoured bullets because the mince tends towards dryness. The epiphany came for me a year or so ago, when I read about using a mix of half pork sausage meat, and half beef mince when making them, and life’s never been quite the same. Sure, I’ve seen plenty of recipes that call for a third of each of these, and then a third of veal mince, but when someone can find me a supplier and funder for the latter in Durban, then I’ll give it a go. Until then, this will do just fine, thank you.
Anyway – to make a rather lovely Sunday night meal, that’s just one notch above omelettes on the simplicity scale, you can’t do much better than this meatball recipe. You start with 500g beef mince (I like it quite lean) and 500g sausage meat, squeezed from the casings. Place in a bowl, and add a fistful or two of breadcrumbs*, some mixed herbs, one egg, crushed garlic and chill, and a touch of salt and pepper. Mix this all together – using your hands I’m afraid, no getting around it – and shape into little balls. I tend to make them about the diameter of a R5 coin.
With your meatballs ready, fry them off in batches in the tiniest touch of oil. You’re not looking to cook them, but just brown them for now. Put them into a baking dish as you go. When you’re done, place a knob of butter in the frying pan, add some garlic and chilli. Add two tins of chopped tomatoes, a squeeze of tomato past, some mixed herbs, and a sprinkle of sugar if it’s tasting a bit tart. Simmer away for about 15 mins or so. Once the tomato is fairly soft, pour over the meatballs and bake for 25 mins or so at 180ºC. About halfway through the cooking time, take out the dish and sprinkle over some parmesan and mozzarella. Once the cheese is golden and the meatballs are cooked through, you’re done.
You can either serve this with some cooked pasta or, more simply, with a couple of hunks of decent bread and a green salad. I tend more towards the latter, but either way it’s well a great dish. Delicious.
*Tip: if you ever find yourself with a substantial amount of stale bread, blitz it all up in a food processer and place in a Glad bag in the freezer. That way you’ve got breadcrumbs on demand for the foreseeable future. A touch of foresight required, but rather useful nonetheless.
I used to hate roast chicken. When I was little it was the bane of my existence. In my mind it was always so dry it squeaked against your teeth, and was devoid of any flavour whatsoever, striking fear into my prepubescent heart. This may, however, be due to the fact that our much-loved domestic at the time was no kitchen virtuoso. There were many things that she was a pro at, though. She made amazing banana bread and scones the size of your head, the likes of which I have never been able to replicate. Chicken, unfortunately, was not her forte.
When I began to learn to cook, then, I was determined to make the roast palatable, and it was dear Delia Smith who showed how. The secret – as in so many dishes – lies in butter. Lots and lots of butter. Smooshed up with garlic and lemon zest and shoved under the skin, you just roast away and can be sure in the amazingness of the results. For this evening’s chicken, however, there was to be an added element. We have had a glut of pork sausages in the house for various reasons, and so some stuffing was the designated way to use them up.
So, with the meat of four sausages squeezed out of the skins, a single apple was peeled, cored and grated and then chucked in the bowl. With an onion grated and fried to join this mix, a healthy dose of sage was added, a couple of handfuls of breadcrumbs co-opted into the mix, and an egg introduced to bind the lot. Shoved up the chicken’s jacksie till bursting, the bird was then oiled up, seasoned and banged in the braai.
After about 50 minutes or so on the braai (it was a small-ish bird), it was ready to carve up. The lemony tang from the top of the bird mingled beautifully with the appley savoury flavours underneath, and much joy resulted. If you’re not feeling the stuffing vibe – and to be honest, we seldom do – just quarter up the lemon that you zested to go under the skin and then chuck it in the cavity with some garlic before roasting. A different dish results, but one that is just as pleasing in its own right. And so the humble roast can be lifted to something rather lovely – expecially when you serve it up with a nice green salad and some crisp roasted potato wedges. How marvellous.
You may have read in one of my previous posts about a rather memorable encounter with Flammkuchen at the Old Biscuit Mill when I was in Cape Town recently. This completely addictive dish involves spreading pizza dough with crème fraiche and then sprinkling with onion, spring onion, smoked ham and a touch of cheese before baking in a blisteringly hot oven. It was possibly a strange choice for Saturday morning breakfast, but it was suitably memorable to bear replication when I returned home to Durban.
So, on my way out of the house to the Avant Gardener’s, with a vague promise of producing dinner for the evening, I remembered some pizza dough that I had made a week or so ago. It is remarkably freezer tolerant, and simply needs to be left out on the counter for an hour or so to be revived for use. A few balls were quickly whisked into a bag, and I was off, with my eyes squarly set on an evening of Flammkuchen. A quick stop off at Woolworths was, however, necessary. Say what you will about dear old WW, where else can one get crème fraiche at 6:30 in the evening?
Once arrived at the AG’s place, we fired up the oven and began the cooking. With the dough rolled out using a bottle of that student favourite, Cheateau Libertas, the crème fraiche and other toppings were liberally applied. I had read online that one could use emmental cheese as a topping in order to complement the sour cream taste, but we opted for plain old mozzarella. It should be noted too that, if cooking this for vegetarians, the ham can be substituted with spinach and/or mushrooms. Not tonight though. It was to be Flammkuchen as the Germans/French/Alsatians intended…
Et voila. With 15 minutes or so at 200 degrees the Flammkuchen emerged from the oven in all their golden glory. With a masterfully prepared side salad, care of the AG, and making use of garden harvested rocket, dinner was served. Delicious.
I am a big fan of gnocchi. I know some people it to be a touch on the heavy side, but I find that with a modicum of self-restraint in portion sizing, they are marvellously satisfying. When it comes to sauces for the little dumplings of joy, though, I had only experimented with riffs on blue cheese or napoletana bases up ’til now. Opening the fridge, I was this time, however, confronted with the usual panoply of healthy vegetables with which the Avant-Gardener likes to stock his kitchen. Mushrooms were the first candidates to be roped into the sauce – no huge surprises there – but then I was tempted by a co-star that was just unusual enough to work: broccoli.
With a lick of olive oil to lubricate the pan, some minced garlic was briefly sautéed, followed by some sliced mushrooms. I sliced the broccoli up into fairly small chunks, and then added them to the pan to cook for a touch. This being done, a generous knob of butter was introduced into the equation, followed by a liberal sprinkle of flour. This mixture was left on the heat briefly to let the flour cook out, and then milk was added until it reached the right consistency – something just a touch thicker than thick cream.
The end now in sight, a healthy handful of grated parmesan was added to the sauce, with a liberal grinding of black pepper. All this while, some water was put on the boil, and the gnocchi given their brief cooking while the sauce finished up. The cooked gnocchi was tossed in the sauce to coat, and then served up with another generous sprinkle of cheese.
Now, it may seem like a strange combination, but the broccoli adds a welcome crunch to the sometimes too-squidgy gnocchi. The presence of some greenery also assuages the guilt of a cheesy sauce, so it’s win-win on all accounts. Deliciousness abounds.
My parents have recently discovered an amazing new fishmonger in Durban North, under the Gourmet Burger Co. I have not yet ventured there, but they returned from there yesterday with an admirable haul, including some sinfully fresh tuna and Patagonian Calamari. Now, I have a love-hate relationship with calamari, and have been disappointed too many times by greasy, chewy morsels that don’t quite live up to their full potential. When it’s done well though, it’s one of the best dishes, I feel, and well worth a blog post. And that time is now…
This calamari was mercifully preprepared, and came washed, trimmed and the like, ready to be cooked. It takes minimal effort really – I merely dipped the calamari into some lightly beaten egg white, and then dredged in equal amounts of flour and cornflour that was liberally seasoned salt and black pepper. This being done, I simply deep-fried for the briefest two minutes – just until the rings rose up in the boiling oil. With a quick draining on some kitchen towel, it’s all ready to be plated up.
I quite like serving this with a squeeze of lemon juice and some fresh aioli. Alternatively, it’s also beyond delicious when accompanied by a Vietnamese-style dipping sauce (a recipe which I will one day blog). Crispy, salty, and deliciously moreish – nothing could be better really.

Here is my submission:
I've had this picture laying around for a while now. This is my mom with Sydney and Mikey. I used the green in his shirt as the basis for the whole layout. I turned the sketch on it's side to better suit my liking. I cut down a 12 X 12 piece of white textured cardstock by 1/4" on each side so that I could use the green as a matte. I then cut a strip of kraft cardstock to 4 1/2 and punched the scallop border. Next, I stamped the row of hearts in green onto the kraft piece, right under the border. Thank God for the Stamp-a-ma-jig! After that I tied a knot around the piece of kraft cardstock with some black ghingham ribbon, and added some paper piercing around the edges. I then attached that piece to my white textured cardstock. I stamped my heart tree in black ink onto a piece of pink cardstock, and cut it out. I wanted to take a bit of color from Sydney's pink shirt also. The sentiment was stamped in black onto a piece of the same textured white cardstock and I distressed the edges in pink. I added the the tree and sentiment with pop dots for a bit of dimension. The picture was double matted in white, then black, and then added to my page. I added three mini brads under the picture for some added interest and to tie in the other pink with her shirt as well. I attached the page to my green background and I was done. Check out all of my "white space"! Isn't it beautiful?! It took me a long time to be able to get to this point. I used to want to fill every little empty spot with something. I have to say I'm really digging the simplicity of this layout. And, it was easy peasy!
I can't wait for you to head over to the Unscripted Sketches blog to view this weeks sketch, and see what my fellow DT members have created for you. They're all wonderful! I'm hoping you'll play along with us as well. This was a fun sketch! If you'd like, you can also click on the DT's blog links on my sidebar for their project details.

Bridgeview, IL (Sports Network) - The Houston Dynamo may have won just three
times in 17 away games during the regular season.
But on Wednesday in their Eastern Conference knockout round match against the
Chicago Fire, Houston made Toyota Park feel very much like home as Will Bruin
scored a pair of goals in a 2-1 Dynamo victory.
The result brings Chicago's season to an abrupt close while the Dynamo now
moves on to face Sporting Kansas City in the conference semifinals, which will
begin in Houston on Sunday.
The visitors defended well in the first half and took advantage of a 12th-
minute corner kick to snatch the lead as Brad Davis swung the ball toward the
near post where Bruin got free from his man to head the ball past goalkeeper
It took less than 30 seconds after halftime for the Dynamo to double their
lead as Chicago lost possession in its own half, allowing Calen Carr to play
Bruin in on goal with a well-weighted through ball that the striker dispatched
past Johnson for his second goal of the contest.
The home side warmed to the task a bit over the final 30 minutes with Arne
Friedrich and Dominic Oduro both testing Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall.
However, Chicago didn't find the breakthrough until the 83rd minute when Alex
slipped in behind the Houston defense and scored from a tight angle after a
nice ball from Patrick Nyarko.
Johnson kept the Fire within a goal by keeping out a close-range effort from
Macoumba Kandji, but Houston did well to see out the remainder of the match
and will now look ahead to a meeting with top-seeded Sporting.

Initially slowed by an ankle injury in the middle of the month, Fuentes didn't pitch in nine consecutive games, before allowing three runs in just 1/3 of an inning of work on Saturday against the Giants. He hasn't pitched since.
"I'd like to get him a nice, clean inning, where I don't have to put him in a tough position, since he hasn't pitched a lot," manager Bob Melvin said Thursday. "He did have the ankle injury. It's probably asking a bit much of him right now to bring him in a game in the eighth inning with the tying or winning run on. I'd like to get him a softer landing to get him going again, but in this ballpark, you tend to use the bullpen a bit more."
It was less than a month ago when Fuentes was anointed the team's closer, a role he only held for a couple of weeks before continual struggles led to Melvin going with a three-man, closer-by-committee approach. But Ryan Cook has received the majority of ninth-inning action since that time, and the All-Star worthy rookie appears to have solidified his full-time place in that role.
Righty Grant Balfour, meanwhile, has not allowed a run over his past 10 games, a stretch that has Melvin again confident in the hurler's set-up abilities in the eighth. Fuentes could return to a similar role, too, but not before he finds his groove again.
Fuentes, whose name has circulated around trade rumors, entered Thursday with a 6.85 ERA, highest among all American League relievers.
"I'd certainly like to get him in games more frequently," Melvin said. "We just had a stretch there where he wasn't in games, and it's kind of snowballed a bit."

I did not make this headline up
big ten forever
Catlab really made it but I turned it into ten minutes of this!
I am having a productive day!
See if you can spot Upchurch in his bucket hat | my phone
There’s a Kryk article in the 2011 HTTV about how Nebraska and Notre Dame spent much of the first bit of the 20th century beating down the doors to the Big then-Nine (actually nine). In the days when everyone had to travel by train, Lincoln was WEST man. As for Notre Dame, they were well within the conference footprint, but far outside the preppy conference’s idea of a fit. Said Kryk:
“[Expanding beyond nine members] wasn’t the biggest reason for keeping Notre Dame out. Academic snobbery was, followed closely by religious prejudice. The Big Nine was run by academic elitists, and they viewed the education provided by religious institutions of higher learning such as Notre Dame as purely second-rate.”
If you know your University of Michigan history, you’ll remember James Burill Angell’s biggest battles with regents and the rest of the brass were around his hiring Catholic faculty and saying nice things about papists. It’s a little snapshot of the prevailing prejudices of the day, and the genesis of the Notre Dame psyche.
You’ll also know that from these early days we too were arrogant enough to go it independent for a time. But while Michigan evolved toward benchmarks of greatness that involve our in-conference rivalries, Notre Dame’s established themselves as a fearless lone wolf. It’s why we balk when our chief rival is moved to another division, while they see nothing untoward about canceling the Michigan series to guarantee one West Coast game per year.
Fast forward a century with plenty of independent glory and this is what we hath wrought: a group of exceptionalists who are in many ways truly exceptional. Like how a mountain range of new or recently renovated megaliths spring out of an industrial Northern Indiana town. Like how in this craven era they can play on dirt and grass in an 80,000 seat bowl with no jumbotrons, no bad seats, and overlooked by a great big mural of religious figure who may be praying, may be calling touchdown, or may be exclaiming “Oy vey.” And yet they will also exclaim six times, with Michigan in attendance, that their fight song is the greatest. They will mike their band and have them drown out the visitors’ whenever our guys strike up. They’ll blare pump-up music deep into the opponent’s snap count on 3rd downs. And they’ll scoff at our 100-years-late invitation to finally sign on as half-members of the Virginia and Duke conference, keep the extra home game of this now odd-numbered series, and then tell Yost’s team to go screw.
Calling them arrogant when we’re the school that shows up to other stadiums with a trailer painted all over with the message “mine’s bigger” is pot-kettle-ish. They are the hot chick, and we can’t have them anymore. Cue the diaries of Notre longing. Start with conference realignment at the end game as oakapple, rehashes the four axioms that drive college football relationships. Then DanRareEgg reminisces over the latest series that spanned, with a few two-year hiatuses, from Dan Devine to Denard’s derps. Big Will the Gazelle thinks canning the Michigan rivalry to keep MSU and Purdue is a departure from the “We’ll play anybody, any time” ethos that built the ND brand. And if you’re really not ready to let go, here’s k.o.k.Law with a present tense poetic retelling of his ‘06 experience.
Let’s do THE JUMP here, and rejoin for the weeklies and the best of the board.
Hello. Things that transpired in my absence:
Basketball got splattered by Purdue. Hello, reality. You suck. Michigan hadn't played terribly in a game anyone could see yet this year, but they did so yesterday, and those NCAA bubble dreams should be shelved. From the first Jajuan Johnson undefendable hook shot it was clear Purdue was on another level from Michigan's previous victims, especially on defense. Michigan had far too many possessions where the ball barely approached the three-point line until there were ten seconds on the shot clock. The resulting chuck-fest was reminiscent of Amaker's teams.
Michigan's comeback at the end of the first half was nice to see—Stu Douglass was so on fire he drove to the basket for an easy layup that wasn't blocked into the third row—but even as it was happening I was thinking "this can't last." Lo, it did not.
A side note: Purdue employed a strategy I've long thought is a low-cost way to lower your opponent's efficiency: a token press. Don't trap, don't get yourself out of position for easy buckets, just defend all 90 feet. Michigan crossed the half-court line four or five seconds later than they would have normally and often struggled to initiate the offense when the ballhandler picked up his dribble just past the line. On a half-dozen possessions Michigan had no semblance of an offense until half the shot clock was gone.
A kicker committed. I've searched for this a million times already so I know it's not out there but this, truly, is news that should be met with that bit of Monty Python and the Holy Grail wherein the animated peasants give a desultory "hurrah." The tubes don't have this because if you type "holy grail peasants" you get this a billion times:
Which is fine and all but doesn't have much relevance to Michigan's kicker situation. He's Matt Goudis, Tim all typed him up and stuff, and he should be a massive upgrade for Michigan's national-worst field goal kicking.
I'm most encouraged by the bit of the ESPN profile that says he's a "refined ball striker"—yes, yes, that's what she said—with a "motion that's very repeatable"—ditto—since Michigan went with a guy who didn't have great technique but made a lot of high school field goals in Brendan Gibbons and that didn't so much work out. I don't really care if kickers can hit 50-yarders since in most situations you're better off going for it in that portion of the field; give me a Garrett Rivas any day of the week.
Anthony Zettel committed… to Penn State. Guh. If Zettel was going to wait until the 28th of December, what's one more week to see if Rodriguez is retained or booted and if the latter who his replacement would be? That's a major loss for the class and a guy who will rankle every time he does something for Penn State, and one that would have been averted with one more win somewhere along the way this year.
Tate Forcier said a bunch of stuff. Angelique Chengelis scored an excellent interview with Tate Forcier at some of the Gator Bowl festivities. The bit most directly relevant to the "will he or won't he" stuff:
But not long after the UConn game, a posting on Twitter [ed: by that swimsuit model] said Forcier would transfer.
"That was like the fourth time I'd heard that," Forcier said. "I would have left if I was leaving. You just never know what can happen. It's God's plan. You don't know who's watching, and it's really what you make of it. So I stuck it out. It was actually after the UConn game that I just decided I'm going to stick here at least for this year.
"I think it took time for me. If I were to leave, I didn't realize what I would be leaving. One of the things I noticed, everyone who left would have had a shot to play if they would have stayed."
Forcier also says Michigan's system is "tailor-made" for Denard, that he "knows he can run" the offense but that "Denard is better in it, honestly." All of this sounds like a guy resigned to the idea he's a backup at Michigan if he stays, which is a mature way to approach things… and almost certainly provides strong motivation to depart after the year. He's certainly going to think about it:
"Anytime somebody says something to me about leaving, I say, 'I'm still here, aren't I?" Forcier said, pulling his jacket hard to make sure the Michigan logo is properly displayed. "You still see me with all this Michigan stuff on me. This is me. I'm already acclimated to everything here. The education is something you can't pass up.
"You never know what could happen. I just think it's really about what you make of it. When I get in (games), I try to do what I can do and make the most of it. I'm pretty much going to ride my own road. It's up to me."
I do have a credible-seeming email in the inbox about Montana getting a big time I-A QB transfer from a "west coast kid not on the west coast," FWIW, but even if that points to Forcier no names are in it. Since Forcier has a redshirt available it would seem to make more sense for him to transfer to another D-I school, anyway.
I hope he stays but you can't blame him for leaving. We'll always have triple overtime against Illinois.
Old man yelled at cloud. A guy in the News who literally writes Gil Thorpe wrote some thing about how Rich Rodriguez is a slippery money-grubbing so-and-so with a distinctly Hun disposition that's about what you'd expect from Gil Thorpe:
wsg Ming The Merciless
I'm not going to rehash the usual defense of Rich Rodriguez's contractual whatnot—in brief it's "John Beilein, saint"—but here's an oh snap from MVictors in response to the assertion that "Fielding Yost didn’t sign contract extensions and then flirt with other schools to extort raises":
“No matter how long Yost’s contract was (one-year, two-year, five-year) in his first decade, it was always a source of relief in Ann Arbor every late-Nov/early-Dec when he announced he was for sure coming back. Occasionally, there were reports he was considering an offer from, say, Wisconsin — or from the East. One year he even boldly and publicly disputed the wording of his contract as to whether he’d be allowed to coach elsewhere if he opted out of coaching Michigan. Another year he threatened to retire, he was so discouraged. Yost worked it masterfully to his own advantage."
If you think the response to this column has been harsh check out the comments on any Gil Thorpe online, wherein a bunch of snarky hipsters snark at each other about how terrible Gil Thorpe is.
Jim Harbaugh was like "oh no he di'in't." The report about Harbaugh signing an extension and staying at Stanford from the Stanford AD—always questionable—was obliterated by one Jim Harbaugh:
Harbaugh has yet to sign with Stanford, and when asked about his supposedly pending contract extension he stated:
"I haven't even discussed it."
Perhaps more interesting, when asked to respond to remarks from the Stanford AD implying that Harbaugh will sign the contract, "Maybe he misspoke."
Denard said he was "100 percent." Eeeee:
“He’s not banged up anymore,” receiver Roy Roundtree said. “He’s ready to go and he’s just getting the offense ready.”
Robinson didn’t divulge how much of an impact the injuries had on his performance, but he said while speaking at the team’s hotel that he was now “100 percent.”
Martavious Odoms became available for the Gator Bowl. Michigan's wide receiver depth gets a boost:
"Rodriguez says Odoms has been able to do everything in practice and should be good to go in the bowl game."
7-5 Iowa, fresh off a loss to Minnesota, beat Missouri. Good start for the Big Ten and a reason for the conference to be thankful the bowl matchups shook out the way they did—would Michigan have any chance to stay within two touchdowns of Blaine Gabbert and company with their secondary? Probably not.
The big story as far as 2011 goes was Marcus Coker bulldozing the Missouri defense for 200 yards and establishing himself the next obvious target for the wrath of Angry Iowa Running Back Hating God. If he's not struck down by providence, it looks like Iowa's got themselves a version of Beanie Wells the next few years.
Billy Sauer fought Bobby Goepfert. Seriously:
Billy's in the ECHL now. This kind of stuff happens.
Etc.: Ryan Mallett is an "overrated prospect who definitely should return" to Arkansas because he's got a bad case of the Stanzis (Stanzi as a junior, anyway). A few players had trouble getting to Jacksonville because of weather. There was also an "impromptu dance-off." Smart Football emerged from hibernation. Michigan will not have Jon Merrill and Chris Brown for the GLI (which starting tonight with a game against Michigan Tech) as both made the World Junior team. Craig Roh is a nice dude.

How To: Make a Planter from a Wooden Bowl
By Make + Haus on Mar 29, 2013
A few years ago, I took a trip to IKEA and bought a lot of neutral, basic serving pieces that I could pull out when we had a party, and overtime they made it into our everyday rotation. Some of the salad bowls are starting to wear down a little so I decided to give them a new life, and hammer out a project that has been on the back-burner for months now, finishing the bathroom. For those of you that have followed Poppy Haus for a while, you know that we are renting our home and got approval to spruce up the master bathroom, which had very dated wallpaper, and a challenging tile color. After finishing removing the wallpaper, sanding the walls, priming and painting, and installing new fixtures, I got burned out/the holidays happened. It's been a white box ever since. One of the great things about the space is the skylight and the natural wood color on the vaulted ceiling. I like having plants in bathrooms, I feel like they clean the air, and this bathroom in particular needs something with dimension to fill to draw the eye up. Here's the tutorial should you want to make your own hanging planter, and a bonus idea for using a wooden bowl to decorate. Happy Easter!
I used gardening twine to hang the fern from the ceiling, wrapping additional twine around the hook to neutralize it.
Here's another idea for using a wooden bowl...
Using a second, waterproof bowl insert, cut bushy flower bouquets (like chamomile) and display in a wooden bowl. I do this with branch clippings as well, so they look like houseplants.

Buffalo Bills Release CB Terrence McGee
(BUFFALO, N.Y.) -- The Buffalo Bills released veteran cornerback Terrence McGee on Thursday, three days after the club cut linebacker Nick Barnett and safety George Wilson.
Buffalo originally selected McGee out of Northwestern State in the fourth round of the 2003 NFL draft. In 10 seasons with the Bills, the two-time All-Pro accumulated 522 tackles, 17 interceptions and three sacks.
The 32-year-old McGee has been slowed by injuries over the past few years, playing in only 22 games over the last three seasons.
“Terrence has been a contributor to the Bills organization for 10 years and we thank him for his efforts on the field and off,” Bills general manager Buddy Nix said in a statement. “We wish him the best of luck in the future.”
The Bills defense finished 22nd in the NFL last season.

For Davenport, offense was hard to come by on Saturday. For New York Mills, it was as easy as a pick-and-roll—literally.
Behind deadly pick-and-roll combinations and a suffocating zone defense, New York Mills crushed Davenport, 55-38, in the Class D state quarterfinal at the SRC Arena.
With its bigs setting effective high-ball screens, New York Mills could shoot over the top, drive and penetrate or continue to the wing and reset. The combination of Nick Comenale and Zach Vennaro proved to be an unstoppable pick-and-roll duo, and New York Mills coach Mike Adey says it’s because of the familiarity between the two.
“They have been very close friends for a long time,” he said. “They know what each other will do and that’s a great thing to have.”
With Comenale as the pick-and-roll ball handler and Vennaro as the screener, the Davenport defense was forced into a lose-lose situation: go under the screen and Comenale can shoot over the top—he leads the team with 58 3s this season—or go over the screen and allow Vennaro to sink into the paint and bully his way to the basket.
“Me and Zach have a lot of chemistry,” Comenale said. “There’s a lot that we can do.”
While New York Mills scored in a variety of ways, the Wildcats scored just nine first-half points.
The Marauders used a press and a 2-3 zone in the half court, giving multiple defensive looks on a single possession. Vennaro says it’s the length of the zone’s backline that makes the difference.
“It’s a major thing,” he said. “Even if you look at our guys up front. They are long.”
Before Saturday’s game, the Marauders were shooting 35 percent from 3 with 122 makes. The Wildcats held New York Mills to just two 3s on Saturday, but Adey says that’s not all his team is.
“I think we have a good inside game, too,” he said. “I think we want to be as balanced as we can. We don’t shoot 3s right off the bat.”
The lack of 3s was simply a byproduct of a dominating presence in the paint. Comenale finished with a game-high 20 points, many of which came in the lane, while Vennaro added 12. Adey says the team got a boost from the bench, too.
“We had a lot of help coming off the bench,” he said. “Ali (Hassan) played well and (Zach) Griffith had three or four really good plays.”
After turning the ball over just twice in the first half, the Marauders turned it over five times in the third quarter. Adey says the second-half struggles are just part of the game.
“We played really well in the first half and we were down a little bit in the second half and that’s just part of it,” he said. “Luckily we were able to call a timeout and we picked it up.”
The Wildcats were never able to pick it up after a tough first half that saw just nine total points and 10 turnovers. Davenport head coach Lee Fisher says his team was just outmatched in a variety of areas.
“That’s just not our style [the press],” he said. “They have a very good team. They have size. They have shooters. What more can you have?”
Fisher added New York Mills’ ability to score—the Marauders led at halftime, 34-9—was just too much for his Wildcats to handle.
“We always play hard on defense,” he said, “but they had to shoot at least 60 percent.”
With the win, New York Mills advances to face Moriah in the Final Four at Glens Falls on Friday. Moriah defeated Madrid-Waddington, 51-41, on Saturday.

Japanese knit and crochet patterns are very standardized, and follow the same basic layout style that has been in place for decades. The diagrams and stitch patterns are detailed and not difficult for experienced knitters and crocheters to work from with very little Japanese language knowledge, and therefore they have the reputation of being “universal.” I agree this is mostly the case, except when it comes to seaming.
The knitting/crochet instructions have headings that look like one of the following:
編み方要点 “Stitch Points”
or まとめ方 “Summary”
They are mostly general instructions, e.g. “Cast on, then work pattern A, then pick up for pattern B, then work the edging, etc.” which come at the end of the section before the diagrams. They follow the materials list (yarns, needle/hook sizes, buttons, pins, beads, etc.), garment dimensions, and gauge information. Take a look for a moment at dancingbarefoot’s Japanese pattern-reading tutorial: Lesson 1 (a great resource, by the way). In the first image, the Stitch Points section is the one with the red X. Again, it’s generally unimportant.
The details for construction will be found in the diagrams and charts which follow the Stitch Points. One important piece of information that is not usually shown in the diagrams, however, is which method to use to put it all together. The types of seams a pattern may call for and where they go are usually listed under Stitch Points, all in Japanese. Hopefully this article will help you figure out which seams a pattern calls for, if it’s a seamed garment. (Coming soon: identifying parts of a garment, such as sleeve, shoulder, side, front, back, and so forth so you know where to actually put the seam.)
All the following seaming examples are worked on the wrong side of the garment, with right sides together, unless otherwise noted. I use U.S. crochet terms.
I have left out joining techniques for motifs, which may become a separate article when I get the chance.
とじ – toji
引き抜き編みの鎖とじ – hikinuki ami no kusari toji – slip stitch and chain seam
くさりとじ – kusari toji – chain seam
This is normally used as a side seam for an openwork crochet garment. Step 1: Start at a corner, usually the beginning or end of a foundation chain, and make the first slip stitch through both garment pieces. Step 2: Make a chain the height of the row minus one, e.g. for a dc row (normally 3 chains high) you would ch 2. Step 3: Make a slip stitch (joining sides) through the top of the row stitches. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until you reach the end of the seam.
引き抜きとじ – hikinuki toji – slip stitch seam
This technique is often used for attaching either knit or crochet sleeves or any curved seam, but it can also be used for side seams.
Google Search: Crochet Slip Stitch Seam
すくいとじ – sukui toji – mattress stitch seam
Mattress stitch is usually associated with seaming the sides of knit stockinette, but the same technique can be used for crochet as well.
Knitty.com: Mattress stitch tutorial
半返しとじ – han kaeshi toji – backstitch seam
This type of seam can be used for curved armhole edges instead of a slip stitch seam.
Dummies.com: Backstitch seam
はぎ – hagi
引き抜き編みの鎖はぎ – hikinuki ami no kusari hagi – slip stitch and chain seam
くさりはぎ – kusari hagi – chain seam
Notice that the names are nearly identical to the first seam listed under toji. This one is normally used as a top/bottom seam for an openwork crochet garment, typically mesh. Step 1: Start at a corner, e.g. the top of the sc or dc on the edge, and make the first slip stitch through both garment pieces. Step 2: Make a chain the width of the mesh chains below minus one. Step 3: Skipping the first chain-space, make a slip stitch (joining sides) through the next chain-space of both garment pieces. Step 4: Make a slip stitch through the next chain-space of both garment pieces. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until you reach the end of the seam.
引き抜きはぎ – hikinuki hagi – 3-needle bind-off (knit), slip stitch seam (crochet)
This can be done with either three needles or with two needles and a hook, depending on your personal preference. Note that the crochet version is the same as hikinuki toji above.
メリヤスはぎ – meriyasu hagi – stockinette grafting a.k.a. Kitchener stitch
目と段のはぎ – me to dan no hagi – vertical to horizontal seam
This is a technique for joining a top/bottom edge with a side edge of a garment.
Knitty.com: Vertical to horizontal seaming on stockinette
巻きかがりはぎ – maki kagari hagi – whip stitch or overcast seam
This is usually used for joining granny squares together, but can also be used for seaming crochet garment pieces. Sometimes you may see directions for 全目 (zenme – whole stitch), sewn through the entire top “v” (both loops) on both pieces, wrong sides together, or 半目 (hanme – half stitch), sewn through only one of the top “v” loops, pieces lying flat and touching at the seam.
Crochet Spot: How to Whip Stitch in Crochet (whole stitch version)
かぶせはぎ – kabuse hagi – ?
I’ve only seen this technique in Japanese books so I don’t know if there’s an English equivalent. The set-up resembles a 3-needle bind off, however, pass each stitch on the front needle over the corresponding stitch on the back needle using the third needle, and at the same time make a knit bind-off with the working yarn, beginning with the first two stitches.
If anyone has suggestions for additional types of seaming to add to this tutorial, finds an incorrect translation, or notices a broken link, please let me know in the comments. Thanks!

response:
Step-by-step: Yes
Training: Yes

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps for various seaming techniques in knitting and crochet. Each method is broken down into detailed steps that help readers follow the instructions effectively, promoting a better understanding of the subject matter. This structured approach not only aids in performing the tasks but also encourages deeper reasoning about the techniques and can serve as a valuable resource for training language models on procedural instructions.
