Report: Benny Logan Signs With The Chiefs

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Eagles have lost their nose tackle Benny Logan to Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs.  He’s reported to have signed a one-year deal with the AFC West squad.  Logan will be taking over from Dontari Poe, who has been visiting teams and trying to find one squad that is willing to give him what he wants.

Logan has to be somewhat disappointed to be signing a one-year deal because that means he’ll have to prove to the Chiefs that he’s worth signing long-term

Logan was drafted by the Birds out of LSU and he seemed to develop a chemistry with Eagles Pro Bowl tackle Fletcher Cox.   They seemed to play well with each other.  Logan and Cox had gotten to the point where they were able to anticipate what each other were going to do in certain situations.

Eagles are reportedly pursuing the Giants free agent defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins.  Hankins has been more productive as a pass rusher than Logan. on Facebook

  1. Not much depth along the D-line now. Would be nice if the Eagles signed Hankins to a deal.

  2. Any thoughts to signing AP? Maybe a 2 year deal?

    • I’d hate that for a few reasons

      1. He’s not a 3 down back
      2. He’s old
      3. Brutal injuries piling up
      4. He’s a scum bag who beats his children in the genitals with a switch. He shouldn’t be in the league.

      In other news zeke Elliot also scum and should be suspended

      • You don’t need Pedersen to be a 3down back you have sproles who complements him perfectly

        • Only if they’re both on the field at the same time. Otherwise all you are doing is showing your hand.

          Peterson is in?? Run to him or pass to someone else. Sproles in? Pass somewhere. Teams know they’re not throwing to Peterson.

          Look, once again, to the Pats and the brilliance of their playoff run.

          Vs Houston its the Dion Lewis show
          Vs Pitt…Let us introduce you to Chris Hogan
          VS ATL James White is a superstar

          The reality is they are masters of destroying a team with someone they have not prepared for. If one guy is a superstar in week 1….they know their opponent will spend the week studying and prepping for that guy, so whammo here’s someone new.

          The problem with Peterson (at this stage in his career) is if you roll him out there, everyone on the other side knows what is coming.

          This wasn’t a problem 5 years ago when his his pure talent overcame the fact that everyone on the field knew what was coming……

          …..but is that the case anymore??

          Personally, I think I’d prefer if the Eagles could roll out 2 or three guys that leave the other team guessing….is he going to run, or perhaps catch a little flare out of the backfield.

  3. Since the Eagles already have Sproles/Smallwood, they kind of have that
    Change of PAce/3rd Down/Scat Back Position taken care of..
    They could use a Bigger Back (220 Lbs + ) who are clutch in Short-Yardage, Red-Zone and can Pass-Protect on early down Play-Action Calls…

    Some RB”s that are out there that could fit if the $$$ were right and if they are Healthy and any off the field issues are checked..

    LeGarrett Blount, James Starks, Kniles Davis or Karlos Williams

    Blount would likely be too expensive
    Starks had some Concussion Injuries late last Year
    Kniles Davis knows Pederson’s System from their Chiefs days
    Karlos Williams is a load and has some real baggage but a lot of Talent and is still only 24 Years old.. Maybe time with Duce Staley could straighten this kid out for he could be a real player if focused and mature ..

    There are some Good Backs in the Draft that should be available in the mid-rounds but it would be nice to head into the 2017 Season with a Veteran Big,Strong, In-Between the Tackles RB on the Roster..

    • Draft Alvin Kamara out Donta foreman.

      • Alvin Kamara out of Tennessee is an explosive Back with a lot of upside..
        The big question with him was his ball security earlier in his College Career
        Kamari has risen up the Draft Board since January and is likely a 3rd Rounder when a run on RB’s usually happen…
        Foreman has dropped down to a 4th/5th Round Prospect with some injury concerns about his Foot

      • The Eagles should draft RB Joe Mixon . The Eagles just need to get him to speak on his experience and promote anti violence PSA’s etc. I know some will hate this pick but this is about football..getting great value in the late second or early third.

        • I would definitely draft him to much upside screw the off the field bs I just recently seen the tape and she hit him first

          • I could not see Owner Jeffrey Lurie ever signing-off on Drafting RB Joe Mixon..

            • Listening to Howie Roseman this morning on 97.5 The Fan, he told Anthony Gargano that they were at the Oklahoma Sooners pro day. They had their head security guy interview Joe Mixon about the incident and in general. Roseman said that they are gathering information and looking at he big picture concerning Mixon. Howie did not rule him out. I’d drat him in the second round. There is a story on Bleeding Green nation that the Eagles are going to be aggressive going after a RB in the draft. Mixon’s skills checks all the boxes. The fact is that incident took place 3 years ago when he was 17 years old. He has went through the courts, served his community service, as suspended for a year. He has kept his nose clean since. Draft Joe Mixon!

            • pman Here’s what Howie had to say concerning Joe Mixon….you can go to to read the entire story.

              “Our scouts were down at [Oklahoma’s] Pro Day,” Eagles executive vice president of football operations Howie Roseman said Thursday morning on 97.5 The Fanatic.

              Whether the Eagles were in Norman to meet with Mixon or wide receiver Dede Westbrook, Roseman did not divulge.

              However, historically, the Eagles have not been averse to either drafting or signing players that have off the field concerns or issues. Whether it is signing Michael Vick (conviction and prison time for dog-fighting) or drafting the likes of Jalen Mills (domestic violence arrest in college) and Alex McCalister (dismissed from University of Florida football program for violation of team rules), the Eagles seemingly have a thorough vetting process in place when it comes to prospects such as Mixon.

              “I think the first thing is not to rush to judgement,” Roseman said of the Eagles’ evaluation process in such cases. “To make sure that we get all the information. That we acquire the information. [Eagles vice president of team security] Dom (DiSandro), is unbelievable at doing that and getting background and digging into guys so we can make sure that maybe what is out there is or isn’t the truth.

              “Then we sit down with Dom, as a staff, he comes to us and tells us, ‘Hey, here’s what’s really going on. Here’s what happened. Here’s what’s happened in the incident,’ and then making the call whether they’re on our draft board or not.”

              Whether or not the Eagles will be in a position to or ultimately do draft Mixon next month on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia, the Eagles’ apparatus to get an complete evaluation of him both on and off the field appears to already be in motion.

              “You just have to make sure that the locker room and that support structure around the guys is right,” Roseman explained. “Before you even make those decisions. Time is everything in life.”

              Gettem Howie..draft Joe Mixon! The fact is Jeff Lurie knows that Howie and the scouts were there to watch Mixon and Westbrook, best believe Howie has Jeff’s blessing if everything checks out on the up and up.

              • There’s no Doubt that Howie is going to say the right things publicly about any Player in the Draft, He’s been around the block for a while now and has learned quite well to “Never say Never” about any Player or Situation, but Owner Lurie is different, he Owns the Team and doesn’t speak to the Press often about specific or prospective players but he is very conscious about the Public Perception of his Team and right now with all the Good & Positive Vibes going on about the Eagles with Wentz, this Off-Season’s Acquisitions and the Draft being in Philly, I just find it very unlikely that he would risk having “Negative Press” and maybe some possible Fan-Backlash with Drafting RB Joe Mixon, even though the incident was 3 Years ago, is just still too fresh in too many minds around the NFL with the Ray Rice Incident and that horrible Video, etc,etc.. Lurie’s Ex-Wife was very active (and may still be) with Domestic Abuse Issues and this is something Jeff Lurie feels strong about and is active with too… I just don’t see him signing off on Joe Mixon, It’s just my opinion on the subject.. I can see him telling Roseman/Douglas/Scouting Dept.. “There’s 100 other RB’s out there.. Go Find another One”…

                Personally, I like what I’ve read about Joe Mixon and everything appears that he’s a stand up guy and has atoned himself for the poor decision he made 3 Years ago.. I’m all about giving 2nd Chances but I don’t own a Billion $$$ Business where I’m responsible for everyone I employ in my Organization, including a lot of women, so its easy for me to say, Let’s Draft him an give him a chance to let him prove himself to everyone, but its easier for me to Draft someone else without the baggage (McCaffrey for example) and minimize the “risk” even further.. Mixon’s going to be a very Good RB in the NFL and hopefully he gets with the right Team and Situation.. You may see the 49ers,Raiders,Ravens,Browns,Lions,Packers,Chiefs,take a long hard look in the 2nd Round at Selecting him
                Whomever the Eagles Select will be vetted quite a bit by their Personnel and Security Depts as the Eagles are probably one of more careful Organizations in the NFL on who they bring into their Building and Team..

              • pman, Howie does not have to say anything, he’s said in the past that he has no comment on players or situations. The Eagles have legitimate interest in Joe Mixon. Some of these RB’s in the later rounds are projected in later rounds for a reason. They are the Kenyon Barner’s of the world. No thanks. Mixon is a legitimate blue chip player who fits into what the Eagles want to do offensively. Alvin Kamara does as well Dalvin Cook, however, Mixon is more powerful and a harder runner than both and catches the ball just as good if not better than both. He’s an all around back. Take the better talent. He’s a first round talent at second/third round value.

  4. For the Record , Benny Logan signed a 1 Year $8 Million Deal with the Chiefs
    With a Base Salary of $6.75 Million, $1 Million Signing Bonus and a $250,000 Roster/Practice Bonus

  5. I personally would feel better if we sign another DT – specifically Hankins. If we are to beat Dallas, and Washington, we must be able to stop the run. I suspect the Eagles would have kept Logan if they weren’t certain that they could match or upgrade the position.

    • It’s interesting. Where do we take a wr now?

      Jordan Matthews is more then likely gone after next year. Maybe even Nelson

      Alshon can be gone or franchised and Torrey I doubt is here for the long haul.

      Do we take a WR next year in the first?

      I know wr is completely out of the question in the first round now with Nolan and leodis being goner

  6. Dario Saric may end up being better than Embid and Simmons. He has a little Larry Bird in him. My goodness.

  7. In Phillies news Nick Williams BA above 300, he is ready. Should take the gloves off and let him start opening day.

    In other news. JP Crawford still cant hit

    • While I agree with you they are gonna want to see that he can continue hitting consistently before he comes up.

      Right now the OF is pretty crowded too. Herrera, Altherr Saunders, Kendrick, and now Stassi too. They are gonna want to clean that up, before they bring up Williams and maybe Quinn too, because they will want him to get them both regular ABs.

      • cant sleep on Rhys Hoskins either

        • Yep. OF is lousy with prospects right now. Could see some of these guys going in a deal because there are just not enough spots for them to all play. Moniak will be here in a couple of years too if he is all he is cracked up to be as well.

        • Trade deadline should be pretty fun this year. Good chance that they will be hanging around if they can score runs, because the staff should be pretty decent this year.

          Regardless of standings, I would think that they would try hard to move Hellickson, Bucholz, Kendrick and Saunders. Will be interesting to see if they put together any deals with some of these OF prospects too. Maybe Rupp too with Knapp and Alfaro.

          If all of these prospects look ready this season, do they think about moving Odubel because if he continues to hit, he has a lot of value considering his age and contract. They would need to get a good return, but I would be open to it. You could see a whole new OF by the end of the season.

          I still think that they lack a true #1 SP that can lead the staff. That is where I would continue to focus in the draft, trades and FA.

          • And before everyone gets pissed about me talking about the trade deadline, I am really looking forward to this season for the Phillies to see all of the young players for the big club and in all levels of the Org. But I am still realistic in that I don’t think that this team can compete with the Mets or the Nats this season, but I do think that they can finish .500 this year which would be a huge step in the right direction. Even if they are close as the season goes on, I think that they should look to maximize value at the deadline if they have guys in the minors ready to take an everyday spot

            Focus is 2018 and 2019 really IMO.

            • I think its very interesting that the phils are stocked with talent– and they are– of the names mentioned above they need 4 or 5 of them to be the core of the team in the seasons 18-23–another phils run?????

              • Why not? They seem to have a number of options for prospects now. Stay the course and keep drafting and making smart trades and they should be able to compete soon. Plus they have a gajillion dollars to spend hopefully wisely. Not looking to do 400 million to Bryce Harper.

              • The contract figure means nothing…. they will be able to pay whomever whatever its just funny money… means nothing to us fans…

    An anonymous NFL scout indicated that CB Marlon Humphrey is the “most complete corner I’ve seen come out of [Alabama].”
    “I’ve done Dre Kirkpatrick, Dee Milliner, Kareem Jackson. He can be a big-time player,” he said. “He’s as violent as I’ve ever seen a corner be. He comes up to smack people. It’s rare to see a corner of his caliber that seeks contact. I guess a little of that comes from his dad. … Looks the part. Track guy. He’s got to get some eye discipline. He likes to jam but his eyes will lose discipline.” Humphrey’s father Bobby was a Broncos RB drafted in the first round of the 1989 supplemental draft. “He’s super-talented,” said another scout of Marlon. “He just doesn’t make plays on the ball. If he made plays on the ball he’d go higher.” Mar 15 – 3:30 PM

  9. A Few CB’s have dropped down the Draft Board pushing some other CB’s up the Draft Boards I’m not sure if you take any of these at #14, but chances are, none of these Players may not be there in the 2nd Round when the Eagles Pick again at #40
    (CB’s who have Dropped Sydney Wilson due to Achilles Injury, Teez Tabor due to Slow 40 Time, Jordan Lewis with a recent Arrest, Adoree Jackson due to height,

    1) Fabian Moreau – UCLA (6-0 206lbs) Ran a 4.35 40 time, 3 Year Starter in the Pac-10 going against Top Athletes and Wide Open Offenses, Plays very well in Press Coverage and has the Speed to Recover and Make Plays on the Ball… He was originally thought as a Late 2nd/Early 3rd Round Prospect but had a great Senior Week as well as Indy Combine where his Metrics were off the Charts (38′ Vertical, 11′-3″ Broad Jump, 6.94 3-Cone Drill and apparently did very well in the Interviews per reports and now is considered a Mid/Late 1st Round to Early 2nd Round Prospect..
    He’s Physical, Fast and has length,reach and leaping ability which is what you want in your outside CB’s

    2) Cordrea Tankersly – Clemson (6-1 199lbs) Ran a 4.40 Time, A 2 Year Starter for Clemson Tigers playing in a lot of big meaningful Games versus Talented WR’s and QB’s.. He Practiced every day against the Tigers Potent Offense and DeShaun Watson, WR’s Mike Williams, etc,etc
    Was a solid Mid-2nd Round Prospect now moving up into the late 1st Round

    3) Chidobe Awuzie – Colorado (6-0 202lbs) Very Physical and probably the strongest CB against the Rush in this Draft per many Scouts… Has Speed too and Ran a 4.43 in the 40 with 34.5″ Vertical and a 11′ BRoad jump so explosion and very Athletic. A 4 Year Starter for Colorado and plays in the Pac-10 with those great Athletes and Wide-Open Offenses and some say is the best pure Lock-Down CB in this Draft who plays with a swagger and attitude that all the great ones play with.

    4) Quincy Wilson – Florida (6-1 210lbs) The Other CB from FLorida where most attention has gone to Teez Tabor but many Scouts think Wilson is the better Cover CB with very good instincts .. Ran a 4.5 40 Time, has a long reach and good Ball skills but needs to improve his back-pedal and his eyes

    5) Ahkello Witherspoon – Colorado (6-3 200lbs) very long and lanky with 4.45 Speed and a crazy 40.5″ Vertical so a great CB to match up with Today’s Tall Receivers . Broad Jumped 10’6″ with a 6.93 3-Cone Shuttle time so he’s explosive and athletic as well … Projected as a 3rd/4th Rounder but is now creeping up to the Late 2nd/Early 3rd Round

    There will probably be 12-14 CB’s Selected in the First 75 Picks in the Draft and the Eagles really need to Draft 2 of them if all possible to address their CB Position which has been very weak for the last 6-7 Years…
    I would have no problem if the Eagles Drafted 2 CB’s within the first 3 Rounds… I wonder if they would trade Back from #14 to let say around the #20-#22nd spot and pick up an additional 3rd Round Pick and maybe more for doing so to ensure they get a couple of highly rated CB’s early in this Draft
    With the Draft being held in Philly, I know Roseman and Company will have the Pressure to keep and make that Pick to make a Splash for the hometown fans and who knows, maybe they will make a trade or two to get back into the end of the 1st Round for a Player they really like

    I think Marlon Humphrey is a very Good Player too and may be better suited as a Free-Safety long term in the NFL for down the road.. His Man on Man Coverage down the Field was average at best the times I’ve seen him play..
    I always think the Alabama CB’s are a bit overrated every Draft Year , due to playing for such a dominant Defense every Year, in which Alabama’s Defensive Front-7 just simply over match most College Offenses and Nick Saban is a Great Defensive Coordinator who disguises Pass Coverages/Blitz very well to confuse Offenses,OL’s, QB’s and Receivers at the College Level Their CB’s basically don’t have to play the entire field in many cases until they go against a very Good Offensive Team and then they look average…

    Time will tell but we’ve all heard of the the great many CB’s coming out of Alabama that really haven’t done much in the NFL as Pro’s
    Kareem Jackson, Javier Arenas,Dre Kirkpatrick are average to good players but not big time, Impact Players

    Look at the 2013 Alabama Draft Class — CB Dee Millner, Guard Chance Warmack & OT DJ Fluker who were Picked #9,#10 & #11 in the 1st Round and all now gone from their Original Teams that Drafted them just after 4 Seasons where none of them made an impact let alone a Quality Starter Milner’s has hardly played for the NY Jets, Warmack was benched in Nashville as he gained too much weight and became soft and DJ Fluker was just released by teh Chargers after they replaced him with 34 Year-Old OT Whitworth from the Bengals in Free-Agency

    To Me, Alabama CB’s are like USC WR’s .. Just stay away from the Hype
    though Marlon Humprhrey’s Dad (Bobby) played in the NFL and was a tough RB in his day, so he may have better preparation and idea of what it’s like in the NFL ..

  10. Marlon Humphrey struggles to track the ball in the air while defending..we’ve seen this before with Eagles cb’s. No thanks.

  11. Whitworth signed with the Rams, and Russell Okung with the sorry ass Chargers. Ya my hopes are that the Eagles get either Mike Williams, Corey Davis, John Ross, Dalvin Cook or Derek Barnett with that #14 pick. Maybe the Eagles will trade back and acquire an extra pick..I would be ok with that as long as we get a playmaker

    • I really TE Evan Engram ( Old Miss) in the 2nd Round (#40th Overall) He’s listed as a TE but is basically a big Slot Receiver who goes 6-3 245lbs and who Runs a 4.5 and Can Catch and just be a nightmare Matchup for a slot CB, Safety or OLB trying to cover him..
      He’s not much of a blocker, but im thinking if the Eagles Trade Jordan Matthews while he still has good Value, to a Team like the 49ers, Chargers, Browns, Rams that the Eagles could get an early 3rd Round Pick for Him and Engram would be his replacement in the Slot
      Imagine a ReceIver’s Corp of Jeffrey & Smith on the outside with Engram in the Slot and Ertz lined up at TE or from the backfield… Yikes if your a Secondary

  12. Any thoughts on Rb James Conner?

    • Two corners I really like and think they would be great pros are tanskerly clemson and Fabian moreau ucla both excellent size and speed over 6 1 and 4.40 forty, probably too early for 1st rd but would definitely do trade back to pick up extra 3rd, I think you can get both in second rd and get taco in late first rd then tanskerly in second then trade up with that acquired 3rd and get fabian, then boom get mixon in 3rd(probably trade up for him) then go best available wr in fourth rd and then best available line backer with other 4th rounder for then 5 6and 7th I go dt,de, ol

    • I like RB J Connor out of Pitt, He’s Big at 6-2 and about 235lbs,Tough with Light Feet and Soft hands for a big guy.. He runs a little upright and takes a lot of hits which he will need to work on at the NFL Level for his own Protection and for Ball Security but he would make a nice Compliment with Sproles/Smallwood to be that between the Tackles and Short-Yardage/Red-Zone Big Bruiser Back that the Eagles Need…

      HE Probably goes 4th/5th Round

  13. Maybe a Draft Scenario…

    Round 1 – #14 – Eagles Trade Back thrir #14 Pick to the KC Chiefs for their #27th Pick in the 1st Round, their 3rd Round Pick (#91st Overall) and a 2018 5th Round Pick…(Eagles would sweeten the Deal by tossing in LB Michael Kendricks)

    Then Eagles Could Draft the Following

    Rd 1 – #27th – CB Fabian Moreau (UCLA 6-1 206lbs) Day 1 Starter
    Rd 2 – #43rd – CB Chidobe Awuzie (Colorado 6-0 202lbs) Day 1 Starter
    Rd 3 – #74th – DE Tarell Basham (Ohio 6-4 269lbs) Rotating Pass Rusher
    Rd 3 – #91st – WR Taywan Taylor (Western Kentucky 5-11 200lbs) Special Teams/Slot Receiver who replaces Jordan Matthews and/or Nelson Agholor by 2018
    Rd 4 – #118th – DT Tanoh Kpassagnon (Villanova 6-7 290lbs) Developmental Player who could become a dynamic Pass-Rusher from the interior lined up next to Fletcher Cox and Block some FG’s
    Rd 4 – #139th – RB James Connor (Pitt 6-1 233lbs) Become the Short-Yardage/Red-Zone and to close out Games type of Big Back the Eagles have lacked for a while

    Use Rounds #5 thru #7 To address the LB, OL & Secondary,
    maybe Trade an Alan Barbree or Nelson Agholor to move up in a Round or for Future Draft Picks

  14. **********trade alert************

    Eagles send #14 and Kelce to the Seahawks for picks #26,#90 and Richard Sherman

  15. The money matches up Eagles are 11 mill under the cap Sherman makes 11 plus your getting rid of Kelce contract… it’s a win win for both teams Seahawks gets Sherman off they books plus move up 12 spots while getting a starting center…. they get the oline help they need we get the cb help we need hell I would even trade Peter’s and a 4th for Sherman

  16. The more i see film on LB Reuben Foster the more i want the Eagles to select him if he is there at #14. Dude is a freakin animal! He reminds me a lot like Brian Cox.

  17. I’m down to the Eagles taking either
    Oj howard who is a beast 6’6 runs a 4.5 and you pair him with ertz with Jeffery and smith on the outside you can’t double anyone on the field…

    Derek barnett let’s be honest with have no difference makers on the dline graham is ok but we need a guy who can 12 – 16 sacks every season

  18. picking individual players in the draft at specific positions is fun for a lot of fans… but in the end the eagles need 3 starters at anyone of 22 positions out of the draft and they need 3-4 other guys for depth sp. teams…. 3 high quality starters , and you guys can argue about the names but thats the bottom line.

  19. IN SIXERS NEWS….. THERE IS WORD THAT BEN SIMMONS WAS IMPRESSIVE IN HALF COURT DRILLS– the process has produced ROY and excellent role player Saric– a 31 game phenom named Yao Ming– oops I mean Embiid, a one dimensional untradable dude and a guy that got you a couple of 2nds… and a half court phenom… its the funniest thing ever…

    • Hac u don’t follow the sixers much, saric is becoming a Larry bird lite, his passing and toughness is elite, while his shooting from 3 has been sub-par he will improve on for next yr, embiid is embiid already proven, health is his only concern, now this is where you prove you don’t follow sixers very much, these players are the future and present, tj McConnell is a great ball defender and can run the point really well, great backup pg to have, just needs to develop 3 over summer, cabarot is becoming a really good defender and his 3 point shot is becoming better and he has elite athleticism, just needs to work on handles, Robert Covington Is already a elite defender and he is a great rebounder, 3 is career 38 percent so he is already out 3 and d guy, plus he can guard 1 – 4, Justin Anderson was also part of that trade from Dallas that u didn’t mention, (wonder why) he is raw right now but Brett can definitely do what he did for Covington, improve his ugly 3 and use that crazy athletic ability he has, my favorite sixer is richain Holmes who is proving each day he is just as capable as Noel with way more offensive ability, please hac I understand your hate, but do some research before u start slamming

      • Z… I think my post underplayed Saric… I really really like him. I’m not so sure he is quite the superstar of bird. Embid is NOT a proven player!!!!you underplay his injury history. He has played 31 games in 3 years!!!! The nba is grueling and he hasn’t cut it… That is 100% fact! The other players you mention are in fact real nba players and that is true. My point is that the process was sold as “getting the guys to be superstars” to build multiple championships… So far we don’t have the guy…. We are once again heavy in ping pong balls, short on wins… Which in sixers land is a successful season… Go team.

    • I said bird lite, and I’m saying the only thing holding back embiid is his injury history, I believe Ben and embiid will become superstars soon, and in 31 games embiid put on heck of show, and we only had 10 wins last year, we are probably gonna get 30 this yr, which is actually a hell of increase which means talent is there and improving

      • I agree, he played great in those 31 games…. 31! I predict the finals next year, and winning it all the following year… The way I see it he can play the final week of the season and then all through the playoffs, that should equal 31. And again my post pointed out that Simmons was impressive in half court drills… The finals are going to be played on half court…I can see it now, Simmons throws the ball to Lebron who throws it back and says “check”.

  20. As for the improvement…. The bar was set incredibly low…

    • You sure are patient with Phillies who haven’t seen the post season in a while themselves

      • Not sure that’s an apples to apples comparison and I thought e process was about championships…. Is team will finish 4 or 5 in the race for ping pong balls, has a potential superstar with injury issues, bad feet etc…. Another potential superstar who has missed 81 out of 81 games (but looks good in half court action)…. To continue to paint this team as knocking on any door to the promised land is a bit stupid. If and that’s a huge if Embid isn’t Greg oden and if Simmons can actually play in the nba then maybe there is a possibility of some success but there are too many ifs….

  21. Saric may be the best player the Sixers drafted since AI. I keep telling you he reminds me of Larry Bird. Oh and Holmes may be the center of the future considering Embids injury history. Hell hes better than Noel imo.

    • Can’t tell hac that he will look for the negative in everything, your hate for the NBA shows, I’d rather you don’t talk about it

      • Actually I agree with dag … And again don’t misunderstand me Saric is a PLAYER. He is good and at his point the best player e process has brought us. Holmes is absolutely a potential diamond in the rough. I guess my frustration is that he Crown Jewels of the process are essentially busts . I refuse to put any stock in e 31 games… Hell I was writing a check to get season tickets just before his shut down a couple moths ago… But Embid is on shaky ground in my opinion…. You can almost bet the won’t do back to back next season and be limited in minutes… Great nba players are available on game days….he is not

        • one more thing z… while yes I have been negative with the process and more accurately the league– process people believe its great regardless of outcome- noel, embid, Ok and simmons are the HUGE pieces of the process and none have done shit except for 31 games out of 243 yet that is widely overlooked by process people. noel gets shipped off for nothing, Ok is not even trade worthy, simmons is great in the half court without an opponent and for process people its all roses– i just don’t understand that mentality. how bout we get the hell out of the fucking lottery!!!!!!!!!

  22. Oh shit cliffs other fake son with a dagger tonight

  23. ok i’m officially off the pick on the process people– I’m on board with the sixers– I hope embiid has just had some bad luck and simmons foot injury is a fluke– I come to this conclusion we have an excellent coach who can develop players, our front office is full of assholes– but then again who ever roots for the FO. embiid and simmons hopefully will be the dynamic duo

  24. sixers r extremely well coached. coaching virtual nobodies into studs.

    saric roy and a true player

    holmes looking legit and is already better than noel ever was

    covington been coached up into a true player

    wawa starting to shine

    between that sac pick and ours we have about 50% at top3 pick. i like our position

  25. I’m on board with the Sixers then I hate the Sixers then i’m happy their players got hurt then I hate the NBA then I hate Stinky. Then I hate Colangelo then when the Sixers win a few games then all of a sudden I like them then next day a hate them. Their players suck, their uniforms suck, Wells Fargo Center sucks, the parking sucks. Joshua Harris sucks, the ticket prices suck even though I never attend games the prices still suck. Then let me post random stupid shit to bait a Sixer fan into an argument so I can lash out against them on my hatred of the Sixers. All I want is for Sixers fans to hate the Sixers just as much as I do but, for some reason they all don’t so they must all suck. The Sixers management sucks, their marketing sucks, Brett Brown sucks, his assistants suck, the announcers suck. I think I got all your whining, bitching and complaining about the Sixers down to a science old man.

      • And despite all that hac is way cooler than you because he has opinions and he shares them. You’re just some weird pedifile troll that don’t say nothing but to talk so dumb shit. Get a life loser. Ur only contribution here is to criticize others because you’re a low life loser with nothing else going on.

    • wow mac i assume you missed your meds today– i’ve liked brown since the beginning and i was a season ticket holder for several years– and yes the prices do suck. And i’ve never said I was happy their players got hurt i did say that it wasn’t a great idea to draft big men with bad feet– if you somehow interpret that as happy their hurt then again check your meds, call your therapist and get the help you are calling out for.
      henski i am at the point where if i want to watch hoops at the pro level i have to take the nba and all its flaws for what it is– that simple- i still go to 10-15 hs games per year and they are fun– saw Divencenzo last year– man amongst boys– saw the 7 footer from smyrna this year– and i can still get into many hs gyms for free! parking is free etc– hey mac is right!

      • I love me some Holmes he has 17 and 9 in first half, and we up by 15, trust the swap

        • Holmes is living proof how worthless Noel is.

          Remember when that idiot hart said sixers were taking back the power with him and nahlil okafor who can’t even get minutes anymore bc our 4th string center is better ? Haaaahhaaa what an idiot

          Controlling the draft

          Taking back the power

          Giants getting johnny drunk. Eagles getting Johny drunk. Skins getting johny drunk. Cowboys getting him.

          Lebron had a secret meeting with sixers at pcom

The Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System Regional Association (GCOOS-RA) has been awarded $1.8 million a year for the next five years to support data collection and distribution in the Gulf of Mexico.

Ocean observations are essential not only for emergency response operations, but also provide data for longer-term restoration activities and overall scientific understanding in the Gulf of Mexico. They support:

  • Safe oil and gas production
  • Safe shipping
  • Public health protections
  • Public safety from storm events and other disasters
  • Healthy ecosystems

Ranger Rick MagazineThe federal grant comes from the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (U.S. IOOS), which coordinates the nation’s comprehensive ocean observing network and provides support to regional associations that represent the needs and priorities of the coastal areas they operate within. GCOOS is one of 11 regional coastal ocean observing systems to receive more than $31 million through IOOS.

“Ocean observing is a collaborative effort and in order to build a strong, comprehensive national network, it’s essential that we work with dynamic regional associations that are integrated into the communities they serve,” said Zdenka Willis, U.S. IOOS Director. “It’s because of regional associations like GCOOS that the national Integrated Ocean Observing System is able to reflect the needs of so many diverse communities and industries that rely on ocean observing data everyday.”

HF Radar

The U.S. IOOS grant to the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System will support continued outreach and education — like a recent article about the organization in Ranger Rick magazine — as well as operational support for tools like high-frequency radar.

GCOOS aggregates data from a variety of platforms such as buoys, satellites, ships, drifters and autonomous underwater vehicles to make integrated sustained observations in the Gulf of Mexico. The information from these platforms is integrated into a public data portal and used to develop computer models that decipher environmental changes and forecast oceanic conditions.

The organization includes 143 members from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida working in the fishing and energy sectors, academia, governmental and nongovernmental organizations that help set the organization’s goals so that GCOOS provides the greatest possible benefit to the 14 million people who call the Gulf Coast home.

“Instead of operating its own assets, GCOOS focuses on conducting education and outreach activities, along with data collection and distribution through our data portals and the products we develop,” said Dr. Barbara Kirkpatrick, GCOOS Executive Director. “That way, we can provide grant support to outside investigators who develop and implement data collection using their own platforms, allowing us to leverage our limited dollars to increase our partnership with organizations throughout the Gulf and develop a more comprehensive system.”

GCOOS funds work conducted by:

  • Texas A&M University: Matt Howard, Chris Simoniello, and Lisa Campbell
  • Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi: Felimon Gayanilo
  • Conrad Blutcher Institute: Gary Jeffress
  • Louisiana State University: Chunyan Li and Nan Walker
  • Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation: Eric Milbrandt
  • University of Southern Mississippi: Stephan Howden
  • Dauphin Island Sea Laboratory: Lei Hu
  • Mote Marine Laboratory: Kellie Dixon and Tracy Fanara
  • University of South Florida: Chad Lembke, Frank Muller Karger, Mark Luther and Chuanmin Hu
  • University of Colorado: Bob Leben

Their projects support key GCOOS goals, including protecting public health and safety, supporting healthy ecosystems and better water quality, mitigating the effects of natural and man-made disasters, monitoring the Gulf for long-term environmental changes and trends and ensuring safe and efficient marine operations.

GCOOS projects include:

  • Operations for monitoring systems off the coasts of the five Gulf states — including operation of high-frequency radar stations, buoys, autonomous underwater vehicles and other observing platforms.
  • Development of better mapping tools and oceanic models that provide better predictions on environmental changes — from coastal inundation to the impact of nutrients on coastal waters.
  • Increased monitoring and early warning programs for harmful algal blooms, such as the Gulf red tide that particularly impacts Florida and Texas.

"Up To 75% Of Traffic Will Be Self-Driving Cars By 2040"

September 19, 2012

According to predictions made by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), as much as 75% of road traffic will be autonomous, self-driving vehicles by 2040. Me? I'll still be rocking the same 2001 Explorer Sport and crashing into things. Oh, who am I kidding? I'll be long dead by then.

IEEE also predicts that the biggest barrier to pervasive adoption of driverless cars may have nothing to do with technology, but will be general public acceptance. While the average driver may grasp the basic benefits of autonomous cars -- increased fuel efficiency and safety, along with a reduction in traffic -- it may not be enough to get them to let go of the steering wheel. Jeffrey Miller, IEEE member and associate professor of computer systems engineering at the University of Alaska-Anchorage, believes that baby steps in the form of driver assist systems may help. "As more vehicular controls begin being automated, such as parallel parking and automatic braking, people will become more accepting of autonomous technologies," Miller told Wired. "So by 2040, driverless vehicles will be widely accepted and possibly be the dominant vehicles on the road."

Okay, so let's say by some miracle I actually live to 2040. That's still 28 years away. If the predominant cars being used are autonomous ones AND NOT F***ING HOVERING ONES, I'm not sure I want to stick around to see it anyways. Ready the angel choir -- I'm coming, Lord! "You'll never make it past the pearly gates." I...was afraid of that.

Thanks to Evil Ares and LupusYonderboy, who both wait till they have friends in the car, then tell them it's autonomous and take their hands off the wheel and wait for the screams as the car drifts towards the side of the bridge. Classic!

  • Mighty Molecule

    automated cars....still getting tickets from red light cameras

  • ZomBBombeR

    This is hilarious, becuase they say the hardest part is getting people to give up control of their vehicles and that's exactly what most commentors, myself included are saying they don't want, I say some asshole has three or more infractions against him then make him use a strictly autonomous car and let the rest of us people who drive normally have our freedom.

  • RareAwesomeman

    i would never do this, there is no fun in it

  • Garrett Spicer

    Id take a system that monitors these signals and would take over when an accident might happen but ill drive myself, thanks.

  • Garrett Spicer

    Ha. Fuck that. That takes the fun out of it.
    Last think i want is for my kids to never know why i have a driver license.

  • I would be worried that there were cars out there that had been 'upgraded' by some cretin that thought he new best.

  • Ed

    I predict they're wrong. I don't think you could have a system where some cars still have human drivers, or at least you couldn't have all its benefits. All the autonomous cars would have to slow down to accommodate them, you'd still need signals instead of cars just passing through intersections in both directions at the same time, just narrowly missing each other.

  • Call me paranoid, but there's no way I'd want to give up control of my vehicle's speed, steering or destination, and leave all the the work to 'hackable' electronics and satellites.

    I'm as lazy as the next guy, but I couldn't sit back and relax in a future where my car may only take me to government approved non-restricted zones, or worse still directly to the nearest work/prison camp.... I couldn't trust it, but hey that's just me.

  • JJtoob

    Well, I'm surprised that it's been in at least one movie, but no one to my knowledge has hacked an entire nation's traffic lights, not even an entire city. One light, maybe, but not more than that. I'm sure the security of your vehicle will be left to you just as it is with personal computers now days. And the ones who will probably sell the most cars in the future based on their reputation might be Apple lol. Just wait for the iDrive on Air. Yes, it will hover, and it will be magical. Aww I miss Steve Jobs lol.

  • Guest

    GhostinShell effect, yeah that's why I'll stick with non-robut cars so it won't turn on me. Otherwise..."hello bicycle, dija miss me?"

  • here,here

  • AGirlNamedMichael

    "IEEE" Isn't that what people usually scream when they are about to die in a fiery, computer controlled car crash?

  • ZomBBombeR

    Good one, I liked it anyway.

  • by 2040 there shall be near 9 billion people ... what are lorry drivers going to do, van drivers... road sign makers.. and shit tonn of other people... out of a job....

  • BillGatesIsYourDaddy

    2040? wait a minute...I thought the world was ending this year?

  • JJtoob

    Hope you didn't sell all your properties lol.

Canadian Week in Review 22 August 2016

I have come across the following Canadian genealogy, history and heritage websites, social media, and newspaper articles this past week that were of interest to me, and I thought you might be interested in them, too.

This Week in Canadian History

Vancouver Exhibition

1910 – Vancouver Exhibition opened to the public for the first time in 1910. The Canadian Prime Minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, officially opened the first annual Pacific National Exhibition, known at the time as "The Industrial Exhibition."

The Fair was seen as a showcase of British Columbia to the rest of Canada and the world, and was the second-largest event of its kind in North America, behind the New York State Fair.

Canadian Stories this Week

National Acadian Day

August 15th was National Acadian Day, and the Prime minister issued a statement in which he said “Acadian roots run centuries deep and stretch long past Confederation. In the early 1600s, Acadians established the first French settlements in what would eventually become Canada. Since then, Acadians have played a significant role in shaping the country we all call home”.

And Acadians celebrated the day in their own way. For example, the Acadians on Prince Edward Island “gathered at the Farmers' Bank of Rustico, P.E.I. for a "tintamarre" — an interactive Acadian parade.

People waved flags, shook instruments and were all smiles”.

They are starting to pick up stream!

As of today, 320,638 of 640,000 files are available online in our Soldiers of the First World War: 1914-1918 database. Please visit Digitization of the Canadian Expedition Force Service Files at more details on the digitization project.

Taking Time To Slow Down

Don't know if you ever take the time to look at some of the other blogs I follow over on the sidebar or not? Some of them are not genealogy. In fact they have to do with just slowing down.

Slowing down is really hard for me. One of my new year's "want to do's" for this year was learn to slow down, learn to appreciate the small things - my flowers, my grandkids, my husband. More counting blessings & less time as part of the rat race. I've always had a hard time with wanting to make other people happy. Pleasing other people, wanting others to like me, to want me around was almost an obsession. BUT when it goes to the point where it drags you down and causes you to be down, stressed and leads to discord in your own home, its time to stop.

Luckily for me, I have a loving husband who said "do what makes YOU happy", and stands beside my decision regardless of what anyone else thinks. So I've decided to simplify, back off on some activities, spend less time sitting at a keyboard, spending more time in the flowers, visiting with my daughter (my son is working in Canada for a while) and my grandsons. More time reading in front of the picture window or sitting on the patio... Keeping life simple and enjoying the life I have with Mark.

Needless to say this isn't something everyone has an interest in doing. I mean some people are just born to be part of the rat race. And I think they actually enjoy the pressure and stress that comes with that. I don't want off the merry go round, I'd just like to slow it down and enjoy the ride more...

So today is part of that stepping off the rat race course - we're going to go out and just wander, just enjoy -- The flowers here are spectacular - especially the iris... I think I've seen more Iris blooms this week than in my whole life. So I'm off to shop, enjoy the tea shop again and who knows maybe I'll even bring back a surprise for you!

Happy Researching

Barbara said...

Karen, I understand and actually said in one of my recent blogs that I was doing the same, but it hasn't happened yet! Since, I am the last to Follow You (per the photos), I might just go through all your past blogs when I get the chance, as I have Michigan ancestry. Nice to meet you, even tho it has been short!

Scottish Genealogist said...

Hi Karen, thanks for making me really think. I've been saying the same, same, same for about 3 years now, and things are no different to when they were then! When I worked part-time, I appreciated my family, friends, garden, The Cat, the cup of tea on the back-door-step on a sunny morning, but now I run around like a crazy thing 7 days a week and constantly check my diary and To Do List. I've been sucked back in and it's time to STOP! Jo :-)

Greta Koehl said...

I admire you for doing this. I've tried to do a bit of the same, but it isn't easy!

Tracy said...

Finding balance between obligations and pleasures is a difficult thing to do. However, I firmly believe it is a necessity for our mental and emotional well-being. Enjoy the stepping back as the obligations will still be there when you return.

Italian Carrier Fires Two Aster Missiles in Test

MBDA announces two successful launches made on May 18th and 19th to demonstrate the effectiveness of its Aster missiles. Both launches were from the Italian Navy's Cavour carrier in the Poligono Interforze di Salto di Quirra (PISQ) and were made with the assistance of MBDA.

The launches to test the effectiveness of the SAAM/IT system were carried out: one in “autonomous” (self-controlled) mode and the other in “integrated” mode, controlled by the combat system. The autonomous mode launch was intended to test the SAAM/IT system's ability to search, identify and intercept an attacking sea-skimmer missile as a direct threat to the ship herself.

The purpose of the integrated trial was to demonstrate the combat management system's ability to target threats and to designate the SAAM/IT system to neutralise a threat similar to a sea-skimmer missile.

In both trials, the threat was simulated using a MIRACH aerial target, configured as a missile.

Both launches were entirely successful and the Aster missiles completed their tasks as required.

Antoine Bouvier, CEO of MBDA, announced: “These successful launches are further proof of MBDA's technical capacities".

Antonio Perfetti, Managing Director and CEO of MBDA Italia and Executive Group Director Sales & Business Development MBDA Group, pointed out: “The success of these launches demonstrates to all our domestic and export clients that the SAAM/IT system is now fully operational".

The Problem with YouTube

When it comes to political communication the advent of YouTube, and other video-sharing websites, has been a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, YouTube allows both political campaigns and advocacy groups to inexpensively and quickly get their messages out to a potentially wide audience.

In other words, TV is no longer the only game in town as a communication medium for videos.

Now you can upload a political ad to a website and hope it generates enough buzz to go “viral.”

Unfortunately, however, the eagerness to create such viral campaigns has also helped to undermine the overall effectiveness of some political messaging.

What do I mean?

Well, instead of crafting ads to sway public opinion, political consultants and ad people are now producing spots that seemed designed solely to generate website “clicks”.

In short, getting a political point across is increasingly taking a backseat to creating spots which are sometimes funny, sometimes outlandish, or sometimes bizarre.

I saw this phenomenon first-hand last year while working in  New Hampshire as a consultant in a Republican primary race for a US Senate nomination.

 One of our opponents, a businessman named Jim Bender, came up with video spot called “Yum Yum.”

It featured an actor in an Uncle Sam costume greedily devouring cakes shaped like banks, cars and college diplomas. The more he ate, the more bloated Uncle Sam got.

The spot was certainly amusing and it generated a lot of good media coverage. One journalist gave it an “A” for creativity; a political newspaper called it a “must see” ad and it was featured on MSNBC.

So the Yum Yum ad generated media buzz and went viral, all the things you want a YouTube video to do.

But despite all that good stuff, the ad didn’t work where it really mattered; it didn’t help Bender win support.

Before the ads starting running he was mired in last place in the polls and that’s where he stayed right up to Election Day.

Yes his ad was entertaining, but it didn’t really give people a reason to think Bender would be an effective  US Senator.

Hence it was a creative success, but a political failure.

Meanwhile, here in  Canada the National Citizens Coalition, a conservative advocacy group, ran a similarly entertaining ad during the last federal election.

The NCC spot featured photos of the then three opposition leaders – Michael Ignatieff, Gilles Duceppe and Jack Layton -- superimposed on the bodies of the Three Stooges.

As the “Stooges” in the ad hit, bashed and poked each other, viewers were warned against “socialist” plans.

“Don’t be a stooge,” says the ad at the end “vote against socialism.”

Since the New Democrats enjoyed their most successful election in history, it seems the NCC’s video appeal to stop socialism wasn’t all that effective.

And that’s not surprising. The creators of the ad were so focused on creating a funny, imaginative ad, it seems they neglected to put any thought into their actual political message.

How does Moe bonking Curly on the head with a wrench cause Canadians to fear socialism?

Yet for the NCC that probably didn’t matter. All that mattered was amassing a large number of YouTube hits so they could brag about it to their members.

Now don’t get me wrong.

It’s perfectly fine to make political ads entertaining and humorous.

However, the humor must complement the overall strategic message you are trying to get across.

At the end of the day, after all, the goal isn’t just to make people laugh, it’s to win votes for your candidate or to win converts to your cause.

Thailand Sex Worker Book

Been thinking more and more about the importance of having a strong subjective point of view in my work.

Robert Frank in his book "The Americans" has a clear subjective statement to make, he knows what he wants to say and made photographs that told the story he wanted to tell.

Philip Jones Griffiths book "Vietnam Inc." is another example of a photographer who had a clear defining subjective way of looking at things then he worked towards telling that story in photographs.

Being objective and neutral creates work that is so so grey, you need to have a strong point of view something that drives you to work your ass off to make the important photographs to go that extra mile when your tired out and want to rest.

I think back to Dorthea Lange wonderful photograph of the desperate mother in the tent with her children during the depression. Lange was tired, exhausted and worn down when she drove past but then turned back to make this iconic image. She had something to say and her exhaustion was no excuse not to tell that story.

You need to have a burr under your saddle, a driving subjective force in your heart and mind to propel you into making great photography.

I might try to do a definitive book on prostitution in Thailand, to show all aspects of that world from Western sex tourism to the local brothel world. The most important part of the book would have to be the workers, to show them with respect and honesty, to tell their story.

Looking in: Robert Frank's the Americans

Been studying a wonderful book called "Looking in: Robert Frank's the Americans". The book details the history and making of the very important photography book "The Americans" by Robert Frank.

Looking at the contact sheets that are reproduced is fascinating. There are times that 2 great famous images are on a single segment of 6 negs (1 of 6 cut segments from a roll of film) on the contact sheet. The man was really in the zone he knew exactly what he wanted to say and said it with an economy of film.

Frank also used a variety of films, Ilford, Kodak Plus-x, Tri-x, Super xx, along with several films I did not recognize.

What it really comes down to is the type of film does not matter, cameras do not matter (Frank just used one I believe with a so so lens) but what really matters is the photographers vision, Frank knew exactly what he wanted to say and he said it.

"What I took away from working for him was that you have to have a strong vision of what you want to say — not just for the day but for your entire career.

Film Film And More Film

Spent the week developing my 8x10 film from the last Sex Worker Series. I want to get all the work developed so I can choose the best negs to use in my group show for the VAAA in 2011. Ended up doing something like over 125 sheets in the Jobo. Many of the negs look so so but there are a few that I am quite excited to print. I have to complete developing all the film (around 300 left) then make contacts and make my final selection for the VAAA show. I will only have 8-10 photographs in the show unfortunately but I will choose the best that are available based on the submission that was accepted by the gallery.

Book: Tears Of A Butterfly

Been thinking of doing a hardcover book that would be self published. I want to have a book I can leave at the gallery so that the visitors can check out some of the work the gallery did not want to show. I would not make much money on any books sold but it would be a good way to get the photographs seen by a larger audience.

The idea would be to make something up of 100 to 200 pages with photographs dating back the last 25 years or so back to my time in Oakland when I was 21.

Tuesday, December 1, 2009

I'd Rather Be Anonymous

Been thinking about Oct. 13, 2011 a lot over the last few days. On that date the group show will open at the VAAA. I have always wanted the work seen but have always been uncomfortable in being seen myself. One of the reasons I chose to use a pseudonym Gerry Yaum was because I just want to make the photos and not really be recognized for the work, the work is not about me it is about the people in the photographs, they are the story, they should be getting the acknowledgment not me. I have never had much of a problem with negative reactions, when people are negative I just get a bur under my saddle that eggs me forward but having someone praise the work has always made me feel uncomfortable.

I wish I could attend the show anonymously and just be a fly on the wall, I want to watch how people respond to the photographs I want to hear their comments but I do not want them to know who I am. I remember reading a story about Diane Arbus where she kind of hung around eves dropping on conversations at her New Documents show at MoMA. Diane wanted to hear what they said and know how they felt about what she had put up on the walls but she did not want the viewers to know who she was.

Maybe I can come a bit late and sort of sneak in and try to be one of the crowd, doubt that will work but it might be worth a try.

Hanky Panky

Just a hint of Fernet to tie together gin and vermouth.

  • Served in cocktail
  • 30% ABV
  • Garnish with Orange peel

Ada Coleman

Gin 4.5cl 1.5oz
Sweet vermouth 4.5cl 1.5oz
Fernet-Branca two dashes
Use ounces
Use centiliters

  1. Combine ingredients in a mixing glass and fill with ice.
  2. Stir well for 20 seconds.
  3. Strain into chilled cocktail glass.

The Hanky Panky originated at the American Bar at the Savoy Hotel in London in the early 20th century. Developed by head bartender Ada Coleman, the Hanky Panky matches Fernet-Branca's distinctive character with the botanicals found in gin and sweet vermouth to create a rich blend of flavors--a blend that lets the pushy liqueur remind you of its better side.

If you enjoyed this recipe, you should , share it on facebook, or save it on pocket. Thanks!

Harlem Word: Dr. Eleanor Murphy discusses concerns African Americans have about research (Part 1)

GHHEditor October 22nd, 2016

Dr. Eleanor Murphy is a psychology research scientist and assistant professor of clinical psychology at the New York Psychiatric Institute. Her current research involves genetics, psychology, mood and anxiety disorders, how the environment affects mental health, and the differences in mental health among racial and ethnic groups, including African Americans. In this article, Dr. Murphy explains the benefits are of being involved in research and why research takes a long time.

Q: Many people, especially in Harlem, feel that researchers often come into a community, get the information they need, then leave, and they never find out the results. How does your research address this issue?

A: Generally, when people participate in research, many of them expect that they’re going to learn something about themselves, about the research, or about the illness that’s being studied. But sometimes, we might not have any results to give to the community yet. For example, if we are in the beginning stages of our research, then we might only be gathering general information and it won’t be able to benefit any one person.

Q: So is it fair to say that people participating in research would need to care about helping to gather data so it might benefit their children or their community in the future?

A: Yes. We often tell study participants up front that results will not be given out because there probably won’t be anything meaningful found immediately. Over time, the information we gather may be able to help future generations.

Q: Why does research take so long?

A: Research is an ongoing process that builds on itself. We are always replacing older, outdated information with newer findings. For example, many of the medicines we use and take for granted, such as medicines for allergies or headaches, were the result of research that was done decades ago. The people who volunteered to be a part of the research were not given any results at that time because the research was still in early stages. In the same way, research that’s being done now might produce information that will benefit our children or their children.

Q: So what do volunteers get out of participating in a research project if it takes so long to see the actual end result?

A: Many participants feel empowered when they learn that their participation in research may help future generations. Also, I always try to send each participant a thank you letter at the end to help give them some closure in their participation. I also always leave the lines of communication open and give them our phone number and contact information. I am always available for participants and if they have any further questions they’d like to ask, they can always call. When it’s possible I try to provide a summary of the findings to the community I worked with. Even if the information we gather are just statistics about the community, that can still be useful.

Healthy Homes Goes to Lansing

In recent weeks, staff from the Healthy Homes made a pair of quick visits to Lansing to provide testimony to both the House and Senate Department of Community Health Appropriations subcommittees.  The purpose of the testimony was to thank legislators for making a first-time ever allocation of general revenue for lead hazard control in children’s housing in 2013, and to encourage continued support in 2014.

As part of an effort coordinated by the Michigan Alliance for Lead Safe Housing, Executive Director Paul Haan attended the Senate hearing, and Program Manager Courtney Myers-Keaton provided testimony and thanked the House Committee for the $1.25 million allocation.

In a poignant example of lead’s continued threat to children, Rep. John Olumba (I-Detroit) surprised everyone at Monday’s appropriations hearing by sharing that, because of his work on this issue, he and his wife recently asked to have two of their children tested for lead and were shocked to learn that both girls tested positive for lead exposure.

A significant amount of new money is being invested in expanding preschool in Michigan, something Rep. Olumba says he strongly supports. But to what end, he asked, if young children are living in unhealthy homes?

Rep. Olumba’s sentiments echo the thoughts shared by west Michigan legislators who participated in the Fight for Healthy Homes campaign earlier this year.  Yes, we should invest in expanding preschool.  And we should maximize those efforts by making related investments that ensure children’s homes are not hindering their success.

Help Wanted – 2 Fabulous Jobs for Nonprofit Marketers

nonprofit marketing help wantedTwo great organizations are seeking nonprofit marketing experts and reached out to me recently, requesting that I spread the word.

I’m taking it as a sign that things are improving,  on all fronts! But most importantly, I wanted to share these fantastic opportunities with you:

  • HealthRight International – a global health and human rights organization working to build lasting access to health for excluded communities – is seeking a Communications Manager (NY-based) to plan and produce media, online and other marketing strategies.
  • EDC – one of the world’s largest R&D organizations that works to address the education, health and economic challenges we face – is seeking a Website Manager.

If your organization is hiring in the nonprofit marketing field, I’m glad to share the opportunity with the Getting Attention community. Just email me!

  • Judy-Yes, great catch. You’re right. As illustrated in the article-beneficiary (aka recipient) stories are strongest; complemented – when appropriate – with donor profiles. The latter is particularly useful when strengthening relationships with major donors.

    Thanks! Any other suggestions to add?

  • Robin

    Love this–thanks so much Nancy. I think we’ve gotten into a really good rhythm with our print newsletter (and I’d be happy to share), but we are just about to restart our eNewsletter after nearly a two year hiatus (new Director of Marketing, and the the eNewsletter at the time was not feel good in the least). Do you have any examples of what you think are great eNewsletters? Would love any insight as I think we’re at the point we can “start from scratch” even if we at one time had an e-news.

  • JudyB

    Another thing we do is put small 2″ x 2″ blocks with statistics throughout the newsletter. That way, we communicate things like “60% of the people we serve are widows” and “1 in 4 recipients is over age 85” in small bites instead of a large block of information that may not get read.

  • Love it, Judy! Please send a PDF of a couple of your newsletters w/the 2×2 boxes to me at Thanks – I’ll share these with the Getting Attention community. It’s so helpful to have strong models.

Dole Whip . . . like at Disney World!

Back in the day when JR and I went to Disney World at least once a month, we so loved the Dole Whips at the Magic Kingdom that we would sometimes take a quick trip to there, get a Dole Whip and proceed to another park.  They are so special and I have not seen them anywhere else!

Can't wait to go to Disney World with The Captain and introduce him to all the little things I love there . . . starting with a visit to the Dole Whip stand in Adventure Land at the Magic Kingdom!

Someone posted this photo on Pinterest, but did not include the recipe . . . so I went in search of a recipe . . . and I found two that would work for me since I don't have an ice cream maker.

  • 2/3 cup pineapple chunk , partially frozen
  • cup real vanilla ice cream
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice (sweetened or unsweetened)

  • Directions:

  1. 1
    Variation: 2 tablespoons frozen pineapple concentrate plus 1/4 cup or so water can be substituted for the pineapple juice.
  2. 2
    Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Please feel free to add or decrease the amount of juice/ice cream to get a consistency you prefer.

  3. Source:

2 cans (20 oz. each) DOLE Crushed Pineapple
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/3 cup sugar
1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped
1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries, mini marshmallow or mini chocolate chips (optional)

Drain crushed pineapple; reserve 2 tablespoons juice.  Set aside.

Place crushed pineapple, lemon juice, lime juice, sugar and reserved pineapple juice in blender or food processor container.  Cover; blend until smooth.

Stir in cherries or marshmallow or chips . . . if desired.

Pour into two 1-quart freezer zipped bags.  Store bags flat in freezer.  Freeze about 1-1/2 hours or until slushy.

Gently stir pineapple slush into whipped cream until just blended, in large bowl.  Return to freezer until completely frozen, about 1 hour.

Welcome to LUZ: Girl of The Knowing

Presenting my first comic strip, in web form or otherwise!

LUZ was inspired by my first ever (self-published) comic book, SPOILED, a tale about the relationship between humankind and nature in relation to peak oil -- the end of the petroleum era. Unlike the comic book, this web strip will contain practical skills to learn for when fossil energy ends. Our heroine is Luz, a girl on a mission to gather "the knowing": knowledge and experience about sustainable survival for humans, specifically in urban centers. Occasionally we'll glimpse into Luz's musings about the human condition and our connection, or lack thereof, to the natural world.

I hope you enjoy this bi-weekly strip, while accumulating "the knowing" for yourself as the post-petroleum era approaches.

jenny said...

i, for one, hope this becomes a weekly comic strip. luz is so cute, but don't tell her that cuz she means business, bitches! go get 'em, tiger!

WriTerGuy said...

Hi Claudia, glad to see Luz is on the scene. She may want to check out "World Without Oil" at -- it's the chronicle of the first 32 weeks of the Oil Shock of 2007. We'll put a link there to Luz, as she's a good resource for everyone. Thanks!

i am so glad to have found luz. she quite likely will be the one thing that keeps me from losing my mind in the coming months.

Claudia..lovely, lovely little girl Luz. Me encanto tu comic. Muchas gracias por compartir.

"Our association with Dayne Dudley Studios enhances our capability to better serve student athletes and coaching staff at schools throughout the United States, and worldwide.", says Laura Ramus, P.T., A.T.C., President and founder of GirlsCanJump, Inc.

"Getting advanced training information to coaches and student athletes is essential. It's time to get the appropriate training and educational resources we use on the professional level in female athletics, to school level athletic programs - elementary schools, junior highs, high schools and the collegiate level."

During Laura Ramus' off-season as Head Athletic Trainer and Strength & Conditioning Coach of the WNBA Detroit Shock, she and her GirlsCanJump program reach out to communities across the U.S.A., with charity outreach programs directly to student athletes, their coaches and parents. She hears their needs in school gyms throughout America, and offers training solutions to help prevent injury and improve performance.

"Besides just enhanced performance training, every female athlete must be taught how to jump, land, cut and complete their athletic activity in a better position so that the knee is not placed in a position of risk for injury. Our association with Dayne Dudley Studios is another step to achieve that goal and get the message out to the girls. As the performance level of female athleticism continues to increase, coaches tell us they need best in class training guides for their student athletes, and we are thrilled to be consulting with one of the U.S.A.'s eminent sports illustrators to help make this happen."

Mr. Dayne Dudley, Principal Illustrator, and founder, Dayne Dudley Studios remarks, "I've been blessed through the years to illustrate and build good relationships with some of our country's finest sports professionals. I'm looking forward to our association with the GirlsCanJump™ program, and working with Laura Ramus and her organization."

"I recognize in Laura her expertise and passion to athletic science, especially as it relates to injury prevention and advanced training techniques - and in particular, her expertise with the female athlete."

"I'm especially impressed with her commitment to our nation's youth, a commitment that Dayne Dudley Studios takes great pleasure to share with the GirlsCanJump™ program."
