Resolved Question: Thoughts on a horse gathering?

I live in a very small town in NY. Every August we hold the County Fair in our town. There is a large arena that they hold tractor pulls in and also 4H horse shows. This is the only time the arena ever gets used during the whole year. There are barns with stalls and water available. I was wondering if anybody ever organized just a general horse hang out weekend? I would like to have seasoned barrel racers and pole benders work with young riders and same with english jumps and all around fun. No Money prizes just a meet and greet. Do you think I could get my town to allow this? What should I take in consideration when asking the town board for this? It could earn money for the town if we rented out the stalls and had the fire department cook burgers and sausage. I am looking for General thoughts and who would find this to be a fun idea or just plane bad idea? All thoughts welcome. more

Resolved Question: Should I tell my friend how I feel?

So, today me and a couple of friends went to the beach, Lilly, and Mike Mike was very helpful, but I felt like I was bossed around by Lilly, we brought my two Chihuahua's, so I had them and I had one grocery size bag and a beach bag, all she had was 1 towel and one blanket, plus a bottle of sunblock, I'm five months pregnant and my phone starts ringing so I stopped to answer it, and she drops the bottle of sunblock, and tells me to pick it up, not even ask but tells me, so I miss the important call from my Mary Kay recruiter, and end up picking up the bottle and I try to hand it to her so I don't miss the call, and she won't take it she tells me to put it in my bag, 20 minutes later she wants to leave, ( granted it took an hour to get to a beach where she felt comfortable while we past like 7 of them on the way there to this particular one) She wants to go to the pool in another friends apartment complex because his is heated, and mine is not, but I don't want to have to drive for an hour and a half with my dogs, plus I have a rental right now because my car is in the shop lovely fender bender errr, so Mike puts my dogs leash around a tree trunk so we can gather things without them in the way, he gets all the boggy boards and cooler I have the grocery bag, and beach bag and my dogs are beginning to wrap around the tree because they are freaking out, and again Lilly has a blanket and a towel in her hand I'm trying to slip my shoes back on to go get my dogs before they tangle, and she tells me to pick up the towel, I mean I know I'm not 9 months pregnant but on the beach with all that stuff it was hard for me, plus I then had to untangle the dogs, Mike had already walked away because he had to make two trips with all the stuff, but Lilly doesn't even offer to help, she leaves me alone on the beach, I just don't know am I being moody, or should I feel like a friend shouldn't treat their friends that way??This is a recent thing, but her dad recently decided he didn't like me because I was picking her up one night and he had a friend over, and his friend told us to stay out of troub;e, so I said to his friend, what trouble can I get in I'm pregnant (granted the other people she has been hanging out with have been letting her drink and drive we're 20) And for some odd reason he thinks I don't know who the father of my baby is, because my ex ran his mouth about me thinking the kid is his, but it had been well over a month after we broke up when I get pregnant (longer story lol I'm back with the person I was with before him we have been together for five years except the short time I dated the other guy) I just figured I'd put that out there, because it might have something to do with how she's treating me. more

Resolved Question: I am writing a book series and I am worried it will be called a rip-off of Harry Potter?

My book is about two brothers who find out they are metalbenders and are taken to a school for metalbenders. There they learn about the world of metal benders and when one of their friends is kidnapped they work to save him. My series will have mythological creatures in the metalbenders world who live alongside humans but in an effort to avoid comparisons to jk rowling i will not use any creatures she uses. >The characters are completely different as is the storyline and plot.The only thing <I plan to have similar to Harry Potter is (a) the used-before idea of a hidden world existing in ours and (b) a school set in a castle and this is not b7c of Hogwarts but b7c i actually went t a boarding school that was in a castle. They exist. What can i do to avoid being called a rip-off? I AM VERY WORRIED NO ONE WILL GIVE MY SERIES A CHANCE BECAUSE OF THIS.HELP!From Naruto I like the idea of a war so there might be a war between different countries in which they get involved. more

Resolved Question: Is this a good part in my romance story?

Alright, Audrie Lanes (Main character and water bender) thinks she is causing everyone pain when the only way she is is by leaving everyone to go to Los Angeles. This is the part when she is in the terminal who one of her friends from High school. “I have to leave” I said. I was causing everyone pain, I could see that. I threw the blankets off my body and ran upstairs. Grabbing one of my suitcases and stuffing them with whatever clothes I could find, everyone climbed the stairs. Andrew and Charlotte were first and then came Cecelia and Troy. “You don’t have to do anything” Charlotte told me. “You can do whatever you want, no one is forcing you to go to Paris”. “Yes I do have to go. I’m nothing but trouble for anyone around me. I’m causing to much havoc and or mayhem in this family. You could do way better without me” I said. I zipped up my suitcase and turned towards the door. I could see that this would be just like the first time I tried to get past my family, except it would be harder. I looked at the window and I could see the shimmer in Charlotte’s eyes. She saw me. I quickly ran to the door a swung open the doors. Throwing down my suitcase, Cecelia ran towards the window’s edge where I was crouching and waiting for the right moment. I jumped from my two story bedroom and landed on my feet as lightly as a cat would. I looked up at the window to see Troy looking down at me. The depressed look was still on his face as I ran east to the nearest airport. Since I was old enough to by my own plane ticket, the harder part was to keep watch to see if my family was there. Paris wasn’t even an option anymore. Charlotte would no were I was and then they would find me. I decided that I would just fly west to Los Angeles and try to find one of my old high school friends. I knew that Charlotte would soon see me doing what I thought and then the war would began. I had my plane ticket in my hand along with my passport and my luggage was on the plane already. “Ten minutes till departure for Los Angeles” said a voice over the intercom. I slowly headed towards the gate when I heard someone say my named. “Audrie Lanes?” I turned around to see, Rolland Burbank, my best friend since high school. The girls at my school never excepted me, so I was one of the guys instead. I played football, basketball, and sometimes golf with those guys. “Rolland!” I squealed. I ran over to him and locked him into a bear hug. His eyes were still that same chocolate brown color and his hair had that ruffled look as always. Rolland was the only person, besides my family, that knew about my water bending. “How are you?” he asked me. I was afraid to answer that question. Should I tell him about Troy? I bit my lip for a while, trying to sort out my answer. “Miserable. I’m running away. How ‘bout you?” I asked back. “Same old Audrie. Trying to avoid anything in her life. Where you going?” he threw back at me. So many questions, I thought to myself. “Los Angeles, and trying to find a place to stay” I added on quickly. I knew I was going to have to go back to Florida soon enough. “Hey I live in L.A. Why don’t you come and stay with me while your out of town?” he asked. “Thanks. I need a friend right now. And if you don’t mind, I might need to use your phone. I left mine back in Florida” I told him. Rolland dug around in his pocket until he brought out a blue flip phone. I opened it and dialed the numbers I haven’t dialed in a while. The phone rang three times before Reese picked up. “Hello?”. His voice was filled with worry. I could tell it was for me because they didn’t know where I was going since I hadn’t really made up my mind yet. “Hey it’s Audrie” I said. I could hear someone sighing into the phone. I rolled my eyes. “Five minutes till departure for Los Angeles” the voice said again. I looked over to Rolland to see him signaling me to come with him. I walked and started talking to Reese again. “Please Audrie, don’t leave” someone pleaded. It was Cecelia now. “Please, I know it’s hard for you and now Troy left. He wouldn’t tell us where he was going he just said he was going to find you” she said in a whisper. I looked around the terminal, dropping the phone in my haste. As I looked around, and the entrance was Troy. Rolland had picked up his phone and was now walking towards the plain. I turned around and grabbed Rolland’s hand, dragging him through the gateway. He finally got the idea and started running along side me. I looked back to see Troy not far behind. I threw my ticket and passport at the attendant and anxiously waited for my passport back. Troy was about ten yards behind me when Rolland and I boarded the plain and the gate closed. I could hear the thump of Troy’s hands on the door and the clinking of the lock jiggling back and forth. “What’s the rush for?” Rolland asked me. “Wait until were on the plain” I told him. Walking onto the bridge, I saw Cecelia’s blue convertible speed more

Resolved Question: I need help with plot ideas (details)?

Voting Question: What should I do about my boyfriend?

What should I do about my boyfriend? My partner is currently under a lot of stress from university, and is also suffering from apathetic depression. He has been seeing a counselor who has suggested he take some time out, get some sleep (his sleep patterns are all off) and just relax. He also has a problem with alcohol in that he can never have a quiet drink; an evening at dinner with friends turns into an all night bender. If he comes home when he is drunk he becomes very paranoid, wont listen to what I say and is very hard to deal with. I’m sick of feeling like his keeper as I have to remind him to eat properly, try and get some sleep and listen to his constant worries. I do care about him and am really worried about his state of mind but I don’t feel like his girlfriend any more, rather a combined sounding board/cook/cleaner/taxi driver. When I ask him to come home early/stop drinking/ etc he gets angry at me, stating I’m trying to ruin his good time/he's fine. But the next couple of days he falls back into his depression because he hasn’t had enough sleep/drunk too much/is embarrassed. I don’t know what to do. Part of me is fed up and just over it, and the other part is worried about the decline of his state of mind if I do leave, and the effect this will have on his university work. I probably should add that my younger sister is currently battling cancer and I am one of her major supports - attending all her chemo and medical appointments with her as well as trying to hang out with her everyday. I just feel at the end of my tether; usually he's a great guy but I feel like he's not taking mine, or the counselors advice and I’ve lost my patience.  more

Resolved Question: Intex metal frame above ground pool?

We recently moved to another state and took our 18'x48" Intex Easy Set Metal Frame Above Ground swimming pool with us. However the back yard has a gradual slope. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should do to make it more level. I thought about getting bender board and making a frame a foot wider than the pool, filling it with sand, tamping it down and then recess some pavers to support the poles so they don't sink. I am a 36 y.o. female and I will most likely be doing this project without the help of my husband....so I hope it's not too labor intensive(excavating). Thank You! more

Resolved Question: Question for very experienced genealogists (from Zhou and Guo)?

Question for very experienced genealogists? by Mind Bender I have been doing this seriously for 25 years. And do support many genealogy boards (just started supporting this one) because many experienced people helped me out when I first got started and quite frankly, it's fun. But my "circle" that I have been part of for these 25 years, just because of years passing, is getting smaller. Does anyone know of a forum/board that is really geared for the very experienced genealogist. I've not been able to find one. ANSWERS by zhou and guo: Wendy suggested the Natl Gen Society. Other than that I know of no genealogical society or forum open to the general public. Other popular genealogy sites are quite for the newbies. Often, too, there are self-taught experts with no where to go. They must attend genealogical conferences and university functions to make any head way in their careers or past-time activities. One could contribute one's knowledge to the community or (to be contd) .. work with government and political groups to educate people. This would give you an additional outlet for what you have to say. Ever look at US foreign policy and affairs and said to yourself, "Oh, I can do better than that!" Yours, Zhou and Guo The question for this thread is "Where does one go, when you're a talented genealogist and seeking an audience or forum to express yourself?" . more

Resolved Question: Complete Draft Grades?

49ers = B - Willis will learn from Mike Singletary, 'Nuff said! Staley will learn from Larry Allen. Hill is a big WR with a nose for the end zone. McDonald will contribute at DT as long as his knees hold up. Moore is a small DE with a high motor. Goldson has no NFL position as a DB and will have to make it on special teams. Cohen is the 2nd DT with bad legs drafted, not good! Brown is a smart, but unspectacular CB. A poor mans Randall Gay. Clayton is a selfish head case who never utilized his potential at RB. A wasted pick. Bears = A - Olson will be a nice pass catching TE. Bazuin is a blue collar guy who adds depth for run support. Wolfe is a 3rd down back to spell Benson. OLB Okwo will learn while playing special teams for a few years. Beekman is an explosive run blocker better suited as a C. Payne played HB, WR, P, CB and S in college. A incredible athlete still learning the FS position, he could be a star in a few years. Graham is a top flight kick returner who will team with Hester to give them a deadly duo. McBride is a small CB who will have to make it on special teams. Brant is a reach who may be a big sized guard. Bengals = B Hall is a great pick who will team with Joseph to give them a solid, young CB tandem. Irons is a confusing pick considering they just resigned Watson to a big multi-year deal. Is this their way of saying Perry is done? White can play both S positions and adds depth. Rowe is like Palmer. Big arm, tall, but not a scrambler. Unlike Carson, his decision making is questionable. Toeaina has an inconsistent motor, but good tools to be a run stuffing DT. Santucci can play C and both guard spots. Ndukwe will try to make it on special teams. Bills = A Hall of Famer Marv Levy pulls out a steal! Lynch is seen as a mix of Thurman Thomas/ Ken Davis and a better fit for their offense than McGahee. A real steal is Posluszny, who will either try to fill Spikes or Fletchers spot and is solid. Many had Edwards the 2nd rated QB behind Russell and he will provide a nice push for the improving Losman. Wright will push Thomas for short yardage carries. Wendling can play either S position and always seems to make plays. Schouman is a FB who catches the ball extremely well. Ah You is a oft-injured, finesse DE who will have a hard time making the team. They didn't draft a CB or WR, so it wasn't a perfect draft, but good. Broncos = B - As usual, they trade. This time it is a gamble. Moss will either be a solid edge rusher or miss completely. Crowder is solid, but unspectacular and a reach. Harris was a smart pick to learn from his aging O line mates. You can't blame them for gambling on DT Thomas. If it works out, they get a perennial Pro Bowler. Browns = A - Thomas was a no brainer who now helps give the Browns a good looking offensive line. They paid way too much for Quinn, who was rated the 5th best QB by me, but he is a hometown kid who wants to play at home. Just don't be surprised if Frye or/and Anderson beat him out now that they have blockers finally. Wright is a great gamble. If he really has cleaned up his act, he might end up being the best CB to come from this draft. An immediate starter if just in nickel packages. McDonald is best suited to play FS. Purcell is a DE who may end up a DT. Pittman needs to bulk up in the weight room if he wants a roster spot as a DE. Steptoe will have to make it as a returner. Buccaneers = A+ Bucs had a fantastic draft top to bottom! Adams is the best DE in the draft and will learn from the aging Rice. Sears was a great pick who will help protect whoever the QB is and open a hole or 2 for Cadillac. Piscitelli is a great athlete who can play SS or OLB in the Bucs cover 2 scheme. Their next John Lynch. Black has a chance to be a star and gets to learn from Brooks. Fastest LB in the draft. Jackson is a prototypical cover 2 CB and intelligent. Peterson is a big pass rushing DE who needs time to be groomed. Rice will teach him a few moves. Hayward is a perfect fit as a WLB on a cover 2 D. Denman is a huge OT with a long reach who needs maybe a season to develop. Hamilton played the cover 2 a lot at Virginia and may fit right in on dime packages as an extra CB. Darby will spell the Cadillac from time to time. The futures looking brighter in the Bay. Cardinals = B+ They needed any type of lineman on offense, but Brown may be a bit too high. He's more a guard than tackle. Branch fell right into their laps and may even inspire ex-Wolverine team mate McBride to play up to his potential. If that happens, the Cards will have a duo on par with the Jags 2 All Pro DT's. Davis is short and battles with his weight, but is a over achiever and will help somewhere. Special teams perhaps. Breaston will have to make it as a returner. Patrick may be a real steal. The intelligent TE is a natural leader and gives the Cards 2 young TE's with Pope, but plays H-back as well. Chargers = A - The theme today was that the rich got richer. Davis will put Parker on the bench by years end maybe. Weddle is a perfect pick who can cover the TE or WR. Waters was a 1st rounder last year until he blew out his knee. He will help on special teams as he learns. Chandler is a huge TE at 6 '7' 270, but doesn't block at all. Naanee is a physical, unpolished specimen who will be given time to develop at WR while he plays special teams. Siler stock dropped more than any other prospect. Going from a possible first rounder to almost undrafted. He is a leader and makes plays, but won't dominate at ILB in the pros. Stiff in the hips, he is strictly a run support type who must make it on special teams on a team deep in LB's. Chiefs = D They amazingly did not address their offensive line woes. Johnson should last about 4 games. Think a small Earl Campbell getting burned out too fast. Bowe fills a need as far as the WR corps is aging and he can block well too. McBride is a hard worker at DE who will fill in for Allen while he serves his suspension. Tyler was on many mocks 1st round and may be a DT than can be useful in KC finally after all the busts. Smith is a poor mans Kimble Anders and will play that role. Medlock was a confusing pick with OT Frye on the board. Tynes has a much stronger leg, but Medlock may be more accurate. If they go with Medlock, don't expect a FG longer than 45 yards in a dome, much less windy KC. Taylor is versatile and can play C or T, but is not strong and is mainly an average pass blocker. Allan is athletic at TE, but will he be able to jump from Div - III to the NFL? Crazy they didn't draft more O lineman! Colts = A + Remember how the rich got richer? The Colts got 4 guys who were 1st round picks on many mock drafts! Gonzales replaces Stokely without blinking. Ugoh will learn as he is groomed to replace Glenn in a few years. Hughes won the Lott Award and was maybe the best fit as a CB for a cover 2 D in the draft = A REAL STEAL who starts day 1! Pitcock will rotate with Booger and help solidify the run support. Condren is a self made gym rat who will pay his dues on special teams a few years. Session can play all LB positions, but may be best suited as a SS. Hall is an H-back type who may stick. Coe can play S or CB, which Dungy likes, but will have to stick on special teams. Dawson could be a sleeper. At 6 foot 270, he is quick, can run and will line up at DE. Cowboys = A - Jerry missed wheeling and dealing. Spencer adds depth to a deep, talented LB corp. Martin is a solid offensive lineman who needs a year or 2 to learn. Stanback is a gifted athlete who Dallas may envision as a Hines Ward type. Free is an athletic OT who may start right away. Folk is a good kicker who can also punt great. Anderson is a special teams monster who also happens to block and catch well at FB. Brown is a lock down CB who will allow Henry to move to FS to shore up the deep hole in the D. Ball adds depth at CB and special teams. Dolphins = B Ginn has speed. Point blank. He needs to learn how to be a better WR, but maybe after watching Hester, the Fins think Ginn will win a few on special teams? A reach that is a grand slam if it works out. Beck was rated the 2nd best QB by many and comes from a system than grooms NFL ready QB's. He may end up starting sooner than expected if Lemon is..well...a lemon. Satele can play guard or center and will start day 1. Booker will be a 3rd down back to spell Brown. Now...what to do with Ricky? Soliai is a 2 gap DT who will stuff the run. Mauia is a solid guard who needs time to polish his skills. Mormino is a C who can play guard too. Smith is a cerebral LB who plays all LB positions OK, but may need to make his bones on special teams. Fields is a P with a slow release, but strong leg. Wright is a tweener at DE who may need to move to OLB and make it on special teams. Eagles = A + I'm no Iggles fan, but even I recognize Andy Reids unpredictable genius. Kolb will be the first QB he can groom since Donovan and can take his sweet time with Feeley and Holcome as back ups. It's a hit or miss that won't hurt if it misses, but don't bet against Reid. Abiamiri is a solid DE who will lend to the rotation. Bradley could be a real steal if his knee stays healthy. At the least, he helps on special teams. Hunt is a real steal here! Finally they can sit Westbrook on short yardage and relieve him of about 10 carries per game to lengthen his career. Gaddis has all the FS tools, but needs developmental time. He gets to learn from future Hall of Famer Dawkins. Celek is a good clutch receiver at TE. Barksdale was on every scouts sleeper list. He is a big CB who may be a pleasant surprise or a special teams contributor. Ilaoa is one of my favorite sleepers. He is 5 8' 250lbs with good speed and ultra soft hands. He may flop or he may end up being an integral part of the offense. Style of running is compared to Emmit Smith. Falcons = A + The Petrino era starts out STRONG! Anderson was the best defensive player on the board and helps them day 1. Blalock was a 1st rounder who fell to them and will be a solid guard for a decade. Houston is another 1st rounder who allows Williams to go to FS and gives Atlanta a young secondary that may soon be the best in the NFL! Robinson is a big, fast WR who will push the 2 former #1 WR's to either play to their potential or sit. Nicholas will be a blitzer and special teams star. Milner is a fast TE who must learn to catch the ball consistently. Lewis is a run stuffing DT who can also play guard. He'll be tried at both. Irons was a nice pick up and should contribute on dime packages and special teams. Datish can play all line positions, but C may be his calling. Stone is an athletic freak of nature and their future SS. A REAL STEAL! Snelling also qualifies as a steal. He will replace Duckett as the short yardage back, can play fullback, blocks and catches well also. He will be used often. Maybe the best draft in Falcons history and all should make the squad. Giants = C CB Ross was a fine pick up. WR Smith will push the aging Toomer. Alford is a pass rushing DT who fits right is with the pass rushing happy DE's. DeOssie is a LB who can line up anywhere, as well as long snap. Boss is a huge TE with great hands. Koets in now the ONLY LT on the roster! He is solid in technique, but needs to hit the weight room. Eli should be on his back often! Johnson is a possible prospect at FS who will need to stick on special teams. Bradshaw is a small RB who the G-men hope can catch some passes that were intended for Tiki this year. Best move still appears to be made by Tiki retiring. Amazing they didn't address their O line woes with more vigor! Jaguars = B + Nice, solid draft! Nelson gives them a top flight FS who can cover WR's easily. Durant is a perfect fit for their scheme and gets to learn from Del Rio. Versatile too. Walker came off a torn ACL to catch over 90 balls. A nice possession type of WR. Podlesh is a big, athletic P who some think is the next Ray Guy. Smith is a leader, but a tweener DE who will have to move to OLB and prove his hip is healthy. Nwaneri is a project still learning how to play guard, but could be a real find in a few years if he develops. Gattis is always around the ball and a special teams star. Landri is an undersized lunch pail type who may find a niche as a pass rushing DT. Broussard is a big WR lacking much speed. Nkang is a project who will either be a LB or SS, but will have to stick thru special teams. Carnahan is a big OT whose knee may not have healed yet and might need a year on the practice squad. Jets = B+ Mangini took a cue from his mentor and ran his draft room like a mad scientist. Revis was the top rated CB by many and starts now! Harris is very solid and starts day 1 as well at ILB. Bender is a huge T who will be given time to develop. Stuckey has all the tools to be a special WR, but is inconsistent. Coles will be a good mentor. Gave up a lot for 2 starters. Which may be just fine! Lions = A - Matt Millen was wheeling and dealing. Johnson was a no brainer. Furrey goes to the slot and Roy Williams may be the #2 WR for the first time in his life. Stanton may of been a reach. Time will tell, but Martz needs to groom a replacement for Kitna within 2 years. Alama- Francis is a awesome athlete who could help Detroit for a decade at DE. Alexander can play CB or FS. A solid pick. Davis should start at CB day 1. Ramirez should start right away and make several Pro Bowls at guard. Baldwin will be a solid WLB who can play MLB as well. Robinson started at CB for 3 years at 'Bama and is a leader. Packers = B - A gambling type of draft. Harrell should be solid for years, but Jackson came out too early and Jones was a huge reach. He's big, but not fast or consistent. A 4th WR type at best. Rouse can play LB or SS and is either going to be great or have a bum knee that will prevent him from going to the next level. Barbre is a unique talent who will take a few years to develop as a guard. Clowney is a speedy, undersized WR who works the underneath routes well, but has inconsistent hands. Hall will have to make it via special teams. Bishop is a run stuffing LB. Crosby was a curious pick, considering Rayner had an excellent rookie year. Crosby could be better than any Packer kicker ever though. Rayner won't be unemployed long. The Pack is gambling Wynn finally stays healthy and realizes his potential, which could be several thousand yard seasons. Harris is a big TE who isn't fast and needs to improve his blocking. Panthers = A Fox had a good draft. They had to settle for Beeson, but he will be fine at LB. Jarrett will learn from Keyshawn in his last year in the NFL. Kalil is a small C, but the best in the draft and expert at zone blocking. Johnson is a solid DE who will rotate in to spell the starters. Robinson is much in the mold of Steve Smith. The tiny WR should return kicks day 1 while learning his way into the offense. Rosario is a top notch athlete who is seen a Shannon Sharpe type and also loves playing special teams. Shaw is a consistent run stopper and may replace Morgan at MLB. Wilson was a top college CB who is best suited as a FS in the pros. Patriots = A + Evil Bill is at it again! Randy Moss for just! a 4th rounder is a joke and Moss returning to Pro Bowl form in his quest for a ring is practically a guarantee. Next year, 2 first rounders await! Merriweather is a proto typical Pat. He can play CB or either S position. He won't whack out up in NE either, the vets will keep him on a leash. Brown is a run stuffing DT who will spell Woolfolk. Oldenberg is the typical Pat pick. A huge OT they will take their time developing. Rogers is a big, speedy OLB Vrabel will groom to replace him. Richardson is smart and versatile, able to play CB or S. A Bellichek type of player. Hairston is big and fast at RB. A Patrick Pass clone who will play that role. Hilliard is a leader and is huge and versatile enough to play guard or OT. A cerebral type. Lua is a strong MLB with good pass rushing skills. Elgin is a hard worker and is versatile enough to play C or guard, but is small. Raiders = A+ Da Raiders might just win, baby! Russell will be throwing deep because he has the arm to. Miller will open up the middle because he is a huge TE with good hands. DE Moses was in the top 10 of most pre season mock drafts and will only help make an excellent D stronger. Henderson is a project at OT and will learn from the great Jackie Slater. Higgins is an enigma. The fastest WR in the draft, Al envisions him as the next Cliff Branch. He just may be right. Bush is a big back who has played small thus far. He may stick as a 3rd HB behind Jordan and Rhodes. Bowie will be forever known as the guy traded for Randy Moss. He is a speed merchant at CB and may be given time to develop while on special teams. Richardson is a tall DE with good upside and will need time to develop. Frampton is a hard working SS who will need to stick via special teams. O'Neal is a boom or bust type at FB whose stock has dropped the past few years. Holland is a 4.4 WR. Al loves speed. Great draft by the Maestro! Rams = B Carriker can play anywhere on the D line and excel. Leonards pick signifies a new wrinkle on the O. He may spell Jackson in the 1 back set on occasion, but the 2 set system will be there now with both backs excellent at catching passes. Wade will push for nickel back at the least day 1 and may soon start. Fry has a nasty streak in him at C or guard. Ryan was a DE at Michigan, but will probably move to DT in the NFL. Shackleford is big and can play either guard or T positions. Jackson is a solid DT that doesn't do anything particularly special. Stanley is a tiny WR with 4.4 speed who will have to make it by returning kicks. Ravens = A Ozzie Newsome is probably the best GM in the NFL. He just drafted 2 starting guards after watching his line get depleted a few weeks ago. Grubbs has All Pro potential, while Yanda plays with a nasty streak that will be embraced by McGahee and McNair. Figurs will return kicks and learn how to run routes from a former returner in Mason. Barnes is a pass rush specialist who will help on special teams. McClain starts a FB day 1. Smith will be given every opportunity to replace Boller as McNairs replacement. Burgess will have to make it via special teams. Redskins = A+ Credit them for not withering to Chicago's demands. They'll just get Briggs next year. They held pat and got the best safety since Ed Reed. Landry and Taylor will play off each other perfectly. This pick may insure Taylor staying in DC longer too. Count the trail of bodies they scrape off the turf the next decade as Taylor and Landry may form the best Safety duo in the history of the NFL. Imagine 2 Jack Tatums! Sartz is a tall, thin athlete who may work out as a WLB in time. He should be on the special teams a few years for now. Blades should do fine as a run stuffing SLB who comes out on passing downs. Palmer is another Joe Gibbs project (Jay Schroeder, Stan Humphries, Mark Rypien), a late draft pick given years to learn. Ecker is a huge TE drafted to block, much like a Don Warren. Saints = A - Meachum was rated the best WR in the draft by many. Alleman upgrades the O line and should be a solid guard a long time. Young should start day 1 at CB. Pittman adds depth at RB, a good move and value pick. Bushrod is a real sleeper at OT who may be blocking for Duce and Reggie for years. Jones is a play making ball hawk CB who upgrades the Saints poor secondary. Mitchell is a LB who needs to stick on special teams. Seahawks = A Did great with little to work with. Wilson is the fastest CB in the draft, cerebral and a dangerous returner. He should be a nickel back and return all their kicks day 1. Mebane plays with excellent leverage and will help out in the DT rotation. Atkins can play anywhere on the D line. Wrotto is the ultimate team player, who played DT as a junior due to injuries on the team. He is raw as a guard, but may be valuable in time. Has the tools. Herring is a WLB who may need to stick on special teams. Taylor is strictly a possession type of WR. Kent lettered in 3 varsity sports in one year! A rare achievement! He is raw, but a prospect worth grooming at WR. Vallos is a guard prospect. Steelers = B Tomlin seems to have a plan that we will have to wait and see what it is. Timmons is envisioned to replace Porter. Woodley is a tweener who is a decent pass rusher. Spaeth is tough, smart, big and has great hands for a TE. Sepulveda a huge punter with a huge leg. McBean is a huge DE who can rush the passer. Stephenson is a good guard who will help them in a few years. Gay is a CB who will have to make it on special teams. Baker has the bloodlines, but will need to bulk up to make it at WR. Texans = A I liked their draft! Okoye will team with Williams, Ryans, and a young and up and coming defense that will be respected league wide sooner than you think. Jones is a possible sleeper from little Lane college, who is huge and fast. He and Johnson may form a fantastic WR duo. Bennett is a big CB who will push for a starting job on a team deep in quality CB's. Harrison is a big, athletic SS who needs to get more aggressive. Frye will be a solid RT. Studdard is best suited to play C. Diles is an intelligent tackling machine who might have to play special teams a few years at first. Titans = C + Griffin was drafted ahead of Nelson, which was curious, considering Nelson can cover WR's and Pacman is gone. Still, a solid safety who should help on run support. Henry was a reach, but he is a big, athletic back. Williams will probably be a wasted pick. He plays with no heart and rarely showed his full speed on the field. He plays like he doesn't want to be there. I'd be surprised if he made the team and shocked if he lasted more than a season, but pray he gets into football because he has all the tools. Harris is a C who also can play anywhere on the O line. Davis is a small WR with the knack for the clutch catch. He will return punts in Pacmans absence. Johnson is a quick 2 gap DT. Filani is a big WR who runs the underneath routes with precision. Ford is a tall tweener who needs time to develop a position. Either OLB or a pass rushing DE. Special teams may be his way on to the roster. Smith is a small, but speedy CB who may stick as a nickel back because of Pacmans absence. Otto is an intelligent, mistake free LT did not give up a sack his last 2 years at pass happy Purdue,. Needs more weight room time. Vikings = A Peterson lengthens Taylors career and will give them a devastating 1-2 punch behind that huge O line. A VERY SMART PICK! Rice would've been a top 10 pick next year if he stayed one more year with the ol' ball coach. Lets hope he's not the bust fellow Gamecock Williamson is. McCauley has all the tools at CB and could be special, but has not played the same since suffering a major concussion. Robison is a blue collar type at DE. Allison could be a sleeper at WR. Alexanders stock dropped from a possible 1st rounder to the 6th. A small OLB but he is not short of desire. Thigpen is the 1st player ever drafted from Coastal Carolina. He started all 4 years at QB and might make the roster and given time to develop. Williams is a slight WR who will have to make it as a returner. more

Resolved Question: If you watch "Avatar : The Last Air Bender", can you help me?

If you do then good. My question is about Zuko's uncle; Iroh. On the ship, before they got it taken away, he would play a board game to kill some time. In the episode "The Waterbending Scroll"- Episode 9, Iroh changed the course to a harbour to see if they had his missing piece he had "lost"; the lotus tile (he ended up having it in his sleeve). I think it was called that. But anyway my question is what is the board game called? more
