  1. Henry David Thoreau is always appropriate with regards to nature. I WISH TO SPEAK a word for nature, for absolute Freedom and Wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and Culture merely civil, — to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make a emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization; the minister, and the school-committee, and every one of you will take care of that. [2] I have met with but one or two persons in the course of my life who understood the art of Walking, that is, of taking walks, who had a genius, so to speak, for sauntering; which word is beautifully derived "from idle people who roved about the country, in the middle ages, and asked charity, under pretence of going à la sainte terre" — to the holy land, till the children exclaimed, "There goes a sainte-terrer", a saunterer — a holy-lander. They who never go to the holy land in their walks, as they pretend, are indeed mere idlers and vagabonds, but they who do go there are saunterers in the good sense, such as I mean. Some, however, would derive the word from sans terre, without land or a home, which, therefore, in the good sense, will mean, having no particular home, but equally at home everywhere. For this is the secret of successful sauntering. He who sits still in a house all the time may be the greatest vagrant of all, but the Saunterer, in the good sense, is no more vagrant than the meandering river, which is all the while sedulously seeking the shortest course to the sea. But I prefer the first, which indeed is the most probable derivation. For every walk is a sort of crusade, preached by some Peter the Hermit (1) in us, to go forth and reconquer this holy land from the hands of the Infidels.... http://thoreau.eserver.org/walking1.html
  2. Could somebody tell me who is starting at QB?
  3. Because team B has10 great lineman, and plans on keeping 9, but they only have 2 NFL caliber RBs. It makes sense that a trade is made, therefore guaranteeing both teams get their guy, and don't have to deal with the free for all that happens after the cuts to 53
  4. Is that an Onion story? Oh, I double checked it's a Fox story. At least the Onion is intentional comedy
  5. I love hiking and camping and have always wanted to do the Appalachan Trail. Also the Long Trail, and the Pacific Crest Trail. That is great you are considering. It would be quite the accomplishment. A good friend of mine completed it about 10 years ago. He tells me stories of "trail magic". Good people leave a tray of brownies in a hut for the next batch of arrriving hikers, or there will be ice cold beer in a stream waiting for you on the path. Go for it! One of my favorite authors is Bill Bryson. Check out A Walk in the Woods. It is informative and hilarious. http://www.amazon.com/Walk-Woods-Rediscovering-America-Appalachian/dp/0307279464
  6. And if you carry 3 Qbs or are deperate for a back up- whomever starts for the Bills will be boom or bust. But huge potential
  7. Gordon seems tenative, but explosive. Is he a 3 down back?
  8. I have seen an ADP of Buffalo D at 78. They were a bargain last two years. This year they will be expensive but worth it!
  9. I myself will draft Shady top 10. Watkins in the 4th, and Bills D in 7th. How about you?
  10. ...and Mario says "honey" to the cute bartender....
  11. thank you for all the Bills reports! You are the bees knees!
  12. What a stupid slogan. Man I hate really, really, dislike Capitulate Doug
  13. What I love what EJ brings to the table is that he throws a beautiful deep ball. That is what this team needs! Everyone knows we are going to run the ball, and stopping the run will be the opposing teams priority. With the speed and playmaking of Sammy, Woods, Harvin, Clay, Goodwin, Deonte- we need a QB that can take the top off, and make teams respect the big play. Which in turn, opens up the running game. Power football, with big shots taken repeatedly suits this offense.

  15. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmXumtgwtak Now is your shot EJ. Seize it!
  16. I agree. RB, WR, and edge rusher we have in spades. I can see Whaley making a deal or two, adding a TE or OL
  17. I would nail the wore
  18. Very interesting. So is this- It also holds true in states with large populations of illegal residents. A 2008report by the Public Policy Institute of California found that immigrants are underrepresented in the prison system. “The incarceration rate for foreign-born adults is 297 per 100,000 in the population, compared [with] 813 per 100,000 for U.S.-born adults,” the study concludes. “The foreign-born, who make up roughly 35% of California’s adult population, constitute 17% of the state prison population.” http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-mythical-connection-between-immigrants-and-crime-1436916798 The media loves to divide, exagerate, and try and scare people(shark attacks, terrorism, etc)
  19. He attacks apolitical bands, conservatives, fascists and racists. What more can you want in four minutes of music?
  20. 4-0 obviously. On our way to 19-0!
  21. I like Hogan and root for him, but I would choose Deonte over him. He has elite speed and playmaking ability. Everything I hear about this years Bills is how much speed we have. Speed kills. Sammy, Goodwin, and Deonte is the fastest trio I have ever seen in the NFL. Woods is fast, but his impressive 4.51 is slow in comparison. Add in the playmaking ability of Clay, and our running game- our offense has potential to be top 5
