But oftentimes God will throw us these let's call them bones to motivate us and give us direction to take some sort of inspired action toward our path. But because we are so focused on sitting around and waiting for a direct answer, we are so convinced about sitting around and waiting. We often just sniff the bone. Okay. I know it's a weird analogy, but let's just roll with it, okay? We sniff the bone, okay, and we just stand there waiting for even more direction to pick up the bone and chew it. And after we do this so many times, those opportunities, they can pass us by. You see, God can only throw us so many bones for one situation, and it's our job to trust Him and to move forward and take action towards what He is leading us to.


We have a great one for you today a real goody James Jones joins us the perfect person to mulliver Who's to blame for the current state of the Packers and what's up with Odell Beckham, Jr? Where's you go in the whole plane thing yesterday? We'll break it down and yes, yes, yes we'll talk to bangles and the Eagles and Tonight the Colts hosting the Steelers Colts players wearing this hat for pregame This is their kicking the stigma game part of their kicking the stigma initiative And it's something that I support it raises awareness you should support it as well They provide resources to support mental health to help erase the stigma associated with Working on yourself with the struggles everyone might face with mental illness with many face So we're happy to support kicking the stigma on up and Adams as we kick off the show We didn't know what to do with it you want to tell him what to do with it Enjoy your brother. I never knew 12 years is my first one. This is pretty cool His first one in 12 years amazing game balls for Hertz and Kelsey Eagles outscored the Packers 40 to 33 such a fun game Such an offensive fireworks everyone's saying offense is down McAfee last week offense is down not on sunday night, baby Not in front of those eagles fans uh on sunday night football. I will say There's there's like a list in my head a working and if you think i'm taking this hat off I'm not taking this there's no way i'm taking this hat off with what's under here if I take it off But we are kicking the stigma. We are talking colds and Steelers later, but when it comes to this sunday night football game I will quickly say There's a short list of players and they felt personalities that I want on the program And I don't know who I want more than Jason Kelsey at this point I've always been a Jason Kelsey fan. We all know he's a personality. He's an incredible player a guy with a lot of integrity In the national football league But what he's doing on on the I think number one sports podcast is that exists with him and his brother travis And what he's you know, what they had they had jaylon herts on the other week and just to see the comradery between them and jaylon Hurts saying oh Jason's you know I love jason jason saying i'm not coming out of retirement and mulling coming back or not that he was retired But he was considering what he was going to do with this future jason, you know jaylon. Hurts is the guy jaylon Hurts the reason that he's back there and they are performing so well It is hard to not stay hard to not stand them for a super bowl journey then Niners NFC championship game I can't think of what would be more fun than that those eagles So jason kelsey, please come on the show. I need to know about the record. I need to know about the christmas thing We need to talk about like a million things. Uh, and and we are supportive of you. We have lane johnson on It's your turn to join the program. Okay, so these eagles Marissa McBride's eagles are now 10 in one And well in control of the one seed in the nfc kind of the nfc is kind of wild right now Now erin rogers knocked out of the game in the second half with a rib injury They were saying oblique but it's a rib injury and he's going to undergo more tests before we can determine Whether or not he'll be back next week and at this point between the thumb fracture and this We're going to talk to james jones about it I think the team and he should really think about going to shutty town shut it down But he said last night he does want to be out there as long as the team is mathematically alive jordan love though The plot thickens brilliant job filling in nearly bringing the packers all the way back He owned those throws. Oh some mustard on those it was great And we'll get to the packer side of things with james in in a minute I do want to give the eagles all the love they deserve here and let's do that guys Let's go. Let's do it Here you are seeing it. Uh jalen hurts brilliant becoming the fourth ever quarterback ever to put up 150 in the air And on the ground in the same game my good. He couldn't get 40 plus for me for that parley I had the other week but he put a 150. That's cool. Uh the eagles rushed for a ridiculous three I sat next to a packers fan for this one. He was like 363 yards. Where was the run defense for the packers? That's not what we're celebrating though We are celebrating and I mean they had been solid against the run So I don't know what happened, but it was all about hurts and miles sanders a confidence builder for miles sanders You love to see it hurts peeled back the curtain to reveal the secret behind the offensive outburst He's so scary. Oh my gosh, I love him and I'll seriousness that This was the eagles team. I was hoping to see last night. They fit some speed bumps over the last few weeks They I don't go it looked like themselves But I think they put all those questions to bed with an all-around incredible Bright light sunday night performance and when the office is clicking like that Who's beating them? Who's being can they offense click like that against the best defense in the league in the niners? I don't know. McBride thinks she knows look could you show me? Look at McBride McBride was in Philly. I was did you watch us on a plane? Yeah, how did that go? Was it great? That sounds awful McBride was on a tarmac for nine hours yesterday last night She rolled in wearing this uh this gorgeous jersey little kelly green for your morning here And I don't know if anyone in this league is beating those McBride eagles They have a tough test though ahead next week against the titans All right, we got some big takeaways here. You didn't need to be anybody but mike white We didn't need to turn into the greatest show on turf. We just needed We just wanted him to play with themself and play efficient. I thought he did that 315 three touchdowns. That was probably a little bit better I mean I like just what he was able to do and also in the elements Yeah, no the especially in the elements it was uh Like I said he he he did he He made the easy look easy and that's uh, uh, I thought he did a really good job with that so Here are my takeaways. Sala we see you you're uh, effectively unaffectively but ineffectively Downplaying things a bit trying to keep the mike white hype train from getting completely out of control But you're in new york and there's no denying that your quarterback was absolutely brilliant leading the jets 3110 dismantling of my chicago bears In wake of zack wilson's benching new york now in the playoff picture They're sitting there chasing wild card action at seven and four gang green has some serious momentum Now did you see those receivers after the game? How happy they were how fulfilled they were This is the stretch run baby. The numbers were absurd. Let's take a look 22 for 28 315 yards three touchdowns a near perfecto passer rating You can't play much better than that and this was about more than statistics people This was energy This is vibes around a team and the fan base yesterday white gave A very frustrated group of jets playmakers a chance to shine Garrett wilson gary wilson. He who says what he feels Hadn't caught a touchdown pass from zack wilson all year. How many did he catch from white yesterday too? Two totties, baby Gronk and uh, to use the parlance of gronk and and tom brady the vocally Discruntled elijah moore scored his first touchdown in the entire season The offense was ignited in a way that we've not seen this year and i know it was against a bang up banged up bear squad I know And I know there's a lot of work left to be done here, but there's no way the jets Turned back to zack wilson next weekend. There is no way And that it's just I hope this is not a conversation people are trying to have It's the vikings next weekend. All right You're in the playoff picture and if you look at the bigger picture Mike white doesn't need to put up those type of numbers every single week to give these jets a chance to make the playoffs if if he's average Mid middling efficient mistake free if he's a six Okay, if he's a six He's getting the ball in the hands of a group of talents at playmakers and allowing a what can be a suffocating Salah led defense the opportunity to do his job the jets are going to be tough to beat people Mike are we buying jerseys and mass? I asked twitter go to twitter and up at adam show Am I do I need one of these in my life? Are we putting him? Sorry to tom petty? We love you, but does mike white not look like a great person to have her right here For the rest of the way. I'm kind of in on what's going on Yeah, okay. Let's move on to this I don't talk enough bangles on the show. I talk a lot of packers. I talk a lot of niners I talk a good amount of eagles, which I should We don't talk the cowboys enough. That's what everybody on twitter is saying But we don't I don't think we talk enough bangles and there is an old saying about tigers, right? A tiger does not change its stripes. Well That's because they don't have to those stripes are versatile Those stripes help them adapt to their environment and blend in whether they're hunting in open grasslands Like share con and mowgli in the jungle book or if they're in the forest With caw that snake that gave me nightmares As i'm giving you jungle book slash zoology lessons and why Because this all applies to the Cincinnati bangles. Yesterday 20 to 16 they beat the titans. This was a lesson in adaptation In blending in we know the bangles can light it up and go toe to toe in a high flying shootout with anyone But at tennessee down to marcha's without joe mixon against what might be I think the toughest possibly Grittiest team in the nfl since he beat rabel squad at their own game and just listen to what zack taylor had to say You know one thing this team took to heart was was how physical they heard this game was going to be And and that's a credit to tennessee because that's how they play but our guys answered the bell today You know and to hold uh, they're they're lead back to 2.2 yards of carry and 38 yards for the offense to rush over 100 yards Um for guys to step up and make a one-on-one place for mike hilton to come off the edge and tackle that back One-on-one like he did I thought was just a tremendous team effort today and really proud of these guys And he should be that run defense incredible dj reader is back to do reader one of my favorite guys On that defense and on offense front of the show t higgins. He totally stepped up returning Think about this. He's going back to tennessee. We've talked about him on uh with him on this show 114 yards.  How do you hold derek henry? Like taylor just said to 38 yards, uh, it's incredible And let's take a look at some of the numbers as we always like to do because we like to support what we say With that and the playoff picture records here the win moves the bangles to seven and four So they're in they're in the playoff picture in a tie atop the a of c north wide because the ravens lost to jacksonville And a mascot wearing a speedo which we'll get to We spoke to the mayor about it the mayor of jacksonville this morning about what were your thoughts on the speedo We'll get to that Um what i've talked about a lot about in last week about the tough schedule ahead this gauntlet For this bangles squad five of their six remaining games are against teams in that playoff picture in playoff position They've got the chiefs. They've got the bills. They got the ravens. This was a huge win that they needed Underscored by the way the bangles got it done. They needed to find a way They did and now hopefully chase and mixon are back for their showdown with said can't city chiefs next week My last point that i want to make before we bring in james jones to talk a little Odell we'll talk receivers. We'll talk contenders to the eagles in the nfc And we'll talk packers, of course The nfc is so much better than we thought it was going to be A month or so ago with pre season all off season that it was so easy to be like nfc is so well or down We were all acting like the disappearance of the bux packers and rams at the top of the nfc meant the conference was going to be in shambles, but what i think that we're seeing is We don't need erin rogers. We don't need tom brady We don't need mc vay to poor mc vay. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my gosh. I was his jaw this morning. My goodness We don't need them for the nfc to be fun interesting Appealing and so forth and guess what things might even be more fun because we're ushering in a new era We've got the eagles at the top at an nfl best 10 and one Then you got the vikings that huge Thanksgiving night bounce back went over the patriots The niners are red hot firing on all cylinders man them adding mccafrey is amazing jimmy all those Excessive weapons brady in the bux. I mean they're lurking of course they'll be hosting. I mean poor cowboys at eight and three So mad about it. But yeah, the buccaneers probably host a game Uh, they're five and six even after a horrifying loss that we'll get into with james jones shortly Then the cowboys who are looking more dangerous by the week. Are they adding odell? They'll be over the top there You got surprising giants. You got the commanders in the final wildcard spot after winning six of their last seven Nobody's talking about that commander's winning six of their last seven And that means all four nfc east teams would be in the playoffs if the playoffs started today Those top nfc teams have themselves a week And I don't think it's this foregone conclusion anymore The best teams in the league are living in paying rent in the afc eagles niners vikings cowboys All logic contenders and the playoff race is going to be exhilarating and I know mcbride doesn't want to hear that Because she wants to think it's the eagles and everybody else sucks But it's just not true as we look at the bracket as we head towards january Uh, we do not have a james jones live shot to show you instead kicking the stigma today cults Steelers little monday night football. How about my vervinia sweatshirt? Welcome back to the up and adam show on a monday So exciting and the playoff picture is being bob rost in front of our eyes as our first guest joins us now He played a wide receiver eight seasons in green bay where he perfected the hoodie under the pads look And then yeah, I guess we should also mention that he won a super bowl. Let's welcome in james jones. My guy. How are you? What's going on lady? How you doing? I'm good. I'm better than your packers my friends. So that's why you're Who are you telling I think we all better than my packers Oh Okay, so they played tough last night. I'll give him that they played tough last night It wasn't enough. There's some good to take away jorn love certainly was part of that stuff that looked good Now let's talk about your quarterback erin rogers. Obviously we're waiting to hear. He's got some sort of rib situation He's got the thumb thing given his health Given the four and eight record.  Well, it depends if we got a slim chance of still making a playoff So I say no and if me knowing erin rogers, I know erin rogers It's a goal and I haven't seen erin rogers play through injuries knee injuries Rib injuries, I haven't seen that man battle through so many injuries just to be out there for his brothers So if it's a slim chance that we still have a chance if we went out or whatever possibly could happen that we could Still make the playoffs erin rogers trunks out there now if that's eliminated Then it's time to see jordan love. It's time to see what jordan love could do I think that was a really good sign from what we seen last night of jordan love just seeing his growth and seeing how much He's changed as a player, which is which is a positive for the greenback packers organization I mean, they're basically done. I don't I don't have the ti a9 calculator in front of me But with that record, do you think the second they're mathematically Out it should be love 100 percent and once this once it's over once they say it is no chance There's nothing we can do to make this playoff run or to get into playoffs I think you should put erin on ice for next year and let jordan love get some experience that jordan love get near In front of these live bullets and let him play and get some of his experience because that's what it's all about Right. So once they do say that k I think it's time to shed ar 12 down and let jordan love spin it Yeah, and ar 12 will be back next year. You are putting The only argument I have to that because the sound argument, right is that putting him out there when it's Mathematically improbable and that's being Nice to you to the packer, you know, like it's mathematically likely they will not do anything this year You are putting your quarterback In harm's way, right and he's gonna want to go out there And is he like i'm the back to back mvp This is my team if I want to play I want to play because at a certain point you have an asset You want him to be your quarterback next year There's a thought or we want to may potentially have you to trade if you want it to go play somewhere else Or if they whatever they come You got to have him get healthy and you're putting him in harm's way if you keep rolling him out there when you have jordan love And you could see what he's like Yeah, and I think when you talk about it from that standpoint right there It is really all about what ar 12 wants to do right because if ar rogers is like no man, I'm playing I want to go out there.   We're going to see what jordan love has so I mean, that'll be a tough conversation between coastal flooring and rogers and the organization if that was to happen But like I said, if there's a one percent chance Okay, and I don't know what the numbers are neither air rodgers going out there I'm asking no air and even if it's not a one percent chance I know he's going to want to go battle with his battle with his teammates But if I was the head coach and that one percent is gone. I'm looking at air rodgers are saying a bra You know, I need you for next year. Let's let's put love out there. We know injuries. Let's put love out there Let's see what the young fella can do But play that conversation out with me because you're saying two things. You're saying it's up to erin rogers But it's isn't what matla floor gets paid to do is to protect The team and do what's in the best interest for the team.  Hamilton's telling me five percent chance for the playoffs So I know you're saying what so I'm just playing out that conversation. Does that go well? How does that conversation go between matt and erin? Well, I think it goes well because they both respect each other, right? You know, so I think they starting off with a good relationship. That's number one, right? So for me You know, if I'm like, all right. Hey, I'm I'm talking to the gm and I'm like, all right Look at our chances are done.  Ain't no need for you to go out here risk injuries It's over for us, right? We want you back here next year.  It's gonna be Jordan loves the last old games. Whatever it's gonna be If the Packers go five and oh to end this season if they go five and oh, it's still only a 44 chance Well, we're saying there's a chance I'm with it. I want everybody to be happy. It's an interesting thing to see but they do have respect for each other So hopefully they'll come to a conclusion I don't want them in harm's way.  You're probably not doing anything this year We love you. We want you next year. You've been supportive of jordan lava. Let's see what this kid's got Like I think that's I would think that's the smart decision whether or not How much pool erin has in that decision is interesting to me Yeah, but it's about being smart too, right, you know And I was one of those players who wasn't smart if my leg wasn't falling off I'm going out there if my ribs is busted. I'm going out there. Docs are saying JJ. You can hurt it worse.  That's just how it was raised. So as a player, I understand that right you telling me No, I'm gonna put you on ice even though we got five games left and you know, there's a chance But we're gonna see what you know as a player as a competitor.  Your ribs is messed up. You know what I mean? We want a good we want you back next year. We want to swing at this thing next year Let's make sure you're going healthy into this all season and we come back next year and get this thing Right and let Jordan love get some experience because we might need him next year, you know, something was to happen He looked good He looked good. He came in two scoring drives What is the most impressive thing you saw yesterday about him and his improvement through and I even just his demeanor He was ready to go and he won and that was the biggest thing right when you put him in the game You just want to see the game slow down for him, right? When we put him in against Kansas City last year just looked like it was too big for him The game was moving extremely fast. He didn't look comfortable You know in the preseason, he looked really comfortable He came in last night. He looked really comfortable like the game was slowing down He knew exactly where he wanted to go with the football and knows is the type of type of things that you want to see the growth that you want to see from a young quarterback Knowing that okay, you've been in this system for a couple years and now we're starting to see the game slow down for you You're starting to look like the guy we drafted So it was fun to see the young fella coming there play well And really just throw it over the yard and and get them to score drives going They're sitting at four and eight. We'll see what kind of decisions they make james jones joining us here on up in Adams Odell before the early games even kicked off yesterday He was tweeting and I thought oh no, and then we find out he was removed from a flight From miami to la. I know he's set to meet with teams this week. What do you make of what happened yesterday? Well, I mean sure, I don't really know all the ins and outs of the story what happened yesterday But you know, come on.   I coach his little son out here So I'm gonna make sure All right that we get up on this up-and-atom show and we break some odell beckham news on here Where are we going? We're gonna we're gonna make sure Zeke sandoo.  I was what what's it gonna take breakfast? Like what have we got to get you to get Zoom or zoom or in studio. We're gonna break it on the up-and-atom show All right. I know you at once in studio You ain't gotta give me nothing. I'll be in studio. I'll pop up for you and I'll do this thing live You've been here and haven't even said hi to me. Like you've literally I know you be you be so zoomed in focused on work I'd be ready to yell. What's up and all that but you be zoomed in Maybe because I fly in 20 seconds before my show every day James.  He's seeing them this week Which team on which squad would he make the most impact? The Dallas Cowboys without a question, right? You got cd lamb who's a guy that's dominant in the slot You got gallop on the other side who's coming who's coming along off of that acl injury You get a number three receiver like old l beckham jr To go up against the number three corners to have one-on-one coverage With dad press got throwing you the ball with tony pollard and zeke running the ball It is going to be extremely tough to be able to stop the dallas cowboys and the dallas cowboys have a legit chance Of winning a super bowl. I can't say that about the giants The dallas cowboys have a legit chance of winning the super bowl the way they are built on defense What they have on offense and now you add another Dynamic playmaker and old l beckham jr to go out there with cd lamb and gallop and that run game And like I said, that is one-on-one coverage. You're not going to double obj So that is one-on-one coverage that obj is going to be going up against him two and three quarters And we've seen what he did healthy at the rams It will be a problem if he went to the dallas cowboys. I agree and I just love it for the nfc nfc is so fun. Nobody thought it would be great and it is uh rustle wilson to head to the The afc for a second. He could not be Having a more polarizing season yesterday another down performance for him and the entire broncos offense And during the loss to the panthers, there was this scene on the sideline This is you know rust. This is defensive tackle mic for sell as we're watching this Yeah, I ask you if you saw a defensive player getting in the face of your Future hall of fame quarterback. How would you react? Well, number one the defense tired. We've been on the field all season long We've been holding people under 18 points all season long and watching the offense play You guys have done nothing all season long But not on top of that you've done nothing right as a leader of this ball club and rustle wilson You ain't showed no emotion You ain't stood up on the podium you ain't did nothing after an interview and showed zero emotion now I don't know if you're in the locker room. I don't know if you're in these meets and you're showing that emotion But I think that was the frustration from the defense and that player coming out like we out here busting our tails And i'm not saying you're not playing hard rust But the way you are playing you have shown no emotion out here About trying to get it together wanting to get it together. I'm here for my teammates You know i've been saying the less right, but you have shown no Emotion and as a player when you go out there and you've given it all you got and you stop the people and you playing hard And you don't see that from your quarterback and I ain't saying rust won't go out there play lights out every game Nobody does But we need to see some type of passion some type of emotion from you and we did you didn't even see it there Russ looked at him eyes real big like I got you you know what I mean like wake up Let's go and you heard rust after the game like he said let's eppin go You know what I mean and rust still had no emotion No nothing so I think a lot of the players is looking at that like man come on But russia wilson on this football feel okay I don't see it changing They paid him all this money, but like I don't know where rust is at I really do not know where rust is at when you turn the table Russell wilson is playing extremely bad football and Are you saying are you saying it you don't think Because I think in my head is it the demeanor or the play that's worse because I didn't even think about the demeanor as much As you just really was enlightening to hear you say that as a player Does it are you saying that he uh like is he checked out with how badly the season has gone? Does it seem like he doesn't want to be out there? Well, I think the demeanor is worse right because even if you're not doing your job at a high level Okay, and you're still coming in the building and you like I got it guys. I'm with you. I got you I'm in here early or whatever. You know what I mean? But if you showing that and you still go out there and you messing up and all that Your team gonna be looking at you Well, we know we out here grinding we know we care and all that type stuff right now Do we know that rustle wilson cares because he don't show us no emotion and all that And then you put on the tape and you see the way he's playing and you like what is going on and I'm telling you I sit over here and watch the games every weekend And I'm like this is the week rust gonna be rough rust is back Just because of what he has shown us in the past and how good of a player he has been And I'm like don't worry about it. Russ gonna be rough. That's at least that's how I watch the game And it's continued to be the same thing and you see his team getting frustrated and to be honest with you Okay, I don't see it changing. I don't know if the rust we were used to seeing it is coming back ever But why I thought I thought you and I were gonna get into X's and O's I thought you were gonna say I can't believe courtland Sutton didn't get in there If that was Aaron Rodgers, I would get between them because I didn't see any receiver companies Like that's an that's an indictment on its own No teammates trying to you know get between Purcell and rustle wilson And I thought we were gonna get into Nathaniel hack it but you're putting it all on rustle I'm putting it all on rust as you the leader of the team, right? Everybody is looking at you You came over here from Seattle Seahawks side 200 and some plus million Everybody is looking for you. You even heard my man after the game said that's the leader of our football team Right, you know what I mean? And as the leader of the football team You have shown no emotion after all the struggles that we've went through this season as bad as you've played You have shown no sense of urgency. No emotion.   You know what I mean? And I think that's what you're seeing You just seem to pure frustration from the defense and he says something that rustle looked at him Just with that nausea lot body leg is like, uh, I guess we'll get it together one of these games like no The way the way the let's go the way a quarterback handles this stuff is Paramount it matters so much and people don't talk about it enough and you have another team Let's talk jets really quick. There's another defense Pissed at their quarterback. It's you know with the the jets they replace Zach Wilson With mike white because Zach on the field isn't doing it And then he's not saying the right stuff and leading the team in the right way And then you try it out mike white who I heard you know floreo on the sunday in a football broadcast Said that he found out in under a minute. He was going out there. Are you ready? I'm ready and then he proved it What a good decision by salla so from a wide receivers perspective What was mike white doing right out there putting these guys in position to make place?  You're so I was laughing because you seen the pure joy on the receivers. Thanks. I know They was like finally, you know what I mean? But no, I just like Zach Wilson and I said throw him the ball because he's holding the football He's not giving these young players chances to go up and make plays He's just he's just not doing it. Mike white came in there and like robber salla said Made it look extremely easy, but he was just giving this guy chances The ball was coming out of his hands fast and he was just making the throws right it's simple You know and watching zack wilson play. He wasn't doing that. He's looking at the rush. He's holding the football Mike white came in there like man. I ain't got nothing to lose I'm gonna sling this ball over the yard and he's walked himself into a star and played himself into a starting role For the rest of this season and I absolutely love it by salla, right? And I know russia wilson is making big money, right? But robber salla is like man We have a bad defense and they can stop and shut down anybody at any time at any game And i'm not gonna let the quarterback ruin it this season when we have something good going So, you know what? I know he was the first rounder But he is going on the bench because we have a chance to make a run And I'm not gonna let one player mess this run up And if I got a guy behind him that even if we don't think he's better than him Even if he ain't a high I'm putting him out there because I cannot waste this year for money The unhinged church of james jones on a monday morning is something I was not ready for and I love it So I'm gonna ask you one more because you ever you're in I mean, I'm loving all of this I want to talk to you about the cardinals They lose this this this is the stuff that pisses me off a really talented team not performing up to snuff They lose a heartbreaker to the chargers and after the game and I was like listen my little ears open kylin murray He had a very interesting response and he was asked about the interception that he threw on fourth and we'll listen to this um No, it wasn't that wasn't for hop actually, um Schematically that mean they kind of we we were kind of fucked He so before that he tried he tried not going there or then he ended up being like, you know what? This is what it was. So and it is a shot at cliff kingsbury. You can't tell me otherwise There's known Tension body language whatever you want to call it. We see it on the field. Whose side are you on here? Oh man, this was a tough one for me k But I mean I would have to be on the player side and I'm not necessarily just saying kylin murray side I'm saying the player side and I just do not think cliff kingsbury has the respect of this football team And as a head coach when you don't have the respect of a football team You're not going to get the best out of a football team and you talked about it k right this team has talent Across the board, right? But it's starting with the guy that's running the ship and that's cliff kingsbury and these guys do not respect Cliff kingsbury as a head coach and you see it I mean they chewing him out on the sideline and coming out, you know In the media saying crazy crazy stuff in the media and it's not just kylin You know, it's a lot of the players and you're not going to get guys to go out there and battle for you And and ride for you if you don't have the respect for him and any little thing that goes on with the arizona carnals Right, it's always stuff like this that comes out. It's always them, you know Getting that cliff kingsbury and that lets me know man that the the head coach ain't got control of the ship And that and that's a problem. So I'll put this on clip James, I have nothing else to say I hope church is over and joy. We'll see you next week same time You can see james every week on more ways to win right here on fandal to you You can see him in the hallways avoiding me and not coming into the studio to hang out on the show What do you need? You need a breakfast burrito, babe? We got you. What do you need? I told I told you I got your back. Whenever you need me. You just let me know I need odell. Well, you bring bring odell's agent in here. Let's have a talk. I got you. I got you. I'ma set it up right now Are you gonna be sitting right here next to me right here? Yes, bring him in. I'll bring uh, I'll buy the arizona to $90 smoothie All right, james jones, we'll be back with the league roundup after this. That was amazing. That was amazing Back on up and adam's here time to go around the league and hit on some of the other matchups We have not quite talked about yet, though. I think james jones about covered it Here on the program how why does rustle wilson make players former players pundits radio hosts fans so angry? Why does he man, if you ever Pro tip if you're ever in a conversation on the air and things are kind of like we're just say rustle wilson Enter chaos like the joker go for it. My goodness. There's some wild finishes yesterday But I want to stop wild Jacksonville let's go the jags Stun the ravens yesterday dramatic 28 to 27 win and there goes your sole ownership of the division ravens It's all highlighted by trevor lorenz's two-point conversion is a jones for the win the place was going absolutely bananas Here's trevor talking about jug peterson's aggressive decision to go for the win I love that from our coach, you know, we have a chance we could just kick the P. A. T. And tied up going over time. He's like, no, we're gonna win it now And just that trust he has in us. He's had that the whole the whole way Even when we haven't always made those plays at the end of games He never lost that with us and I think that's what that's what makes us tighter as a group Now I know the bigger storyline here is the ravens lost the fact that they haven't looked right for a few weeks now But I do want to give credit to trevor to coach coach peterson By the way all the teams that went for yesterday won the teams that didn't go for it lost I think that's true. Hamilton. Is that still true at some point yesterday? That was true Now the former number one overall pick rewarded his coach's faith the most complete performance of his career Good for you trevor. You went 29 for 37 three into 21 yards three scores I know the Jags are almost certainly out of it this year, but this could be a turning point for their young quarterback And may maybe geez like even their franchise as they look at the future. All right Let's talk about the chargers give them some love they beat the cars We talked about the other side with james jones. It was very dramatic Doug peterson wasn't the only one showing some serious guts yesterday Staley opted to go for two and he got the win instead of settling for overtime and justin herbert He found jerald everett former ram for the game-winning score I would argue this call was even gutsier Out of staley because while the Jags have nothing to lose the chargers I mean a miss guys on a two-point play would have ended the chargers season Effectively if you look at this instead They get the win the chargers. They're alive They're a game back of the jets And the mangles for a wild card spot in the a of c so l a ends up getting in this You got to circle back to this. This is the moment It's going to come back to herbert everett and staley and a bag of stones and going through and coming through In the clutch. All right. Here's what's next Staley waddle With his penguin earring celebrating the dolphins 30 to 15 win over the texans It wasn't remotely that close the dolphins were up 30 zip At the half and used most of the final 30 minutes to rest their starter So even with skylar thompson taking a bunch of the late game reps two was still had 299 and a score through the air and listen listen listen I know it was the one win texans But let's not forget This same texans team gave the eagles all they could handle on thursday net football a few weeks ago So this team rolling right now the win their fifth straight keeping them atop this loaded a of c east They're not going anywhere. They're in the number two seed conversation in the a of c overall And it was especially important that they were able to rest some guys because their upcoming three game road trip Uh, oh is wild at san francisco at the la chargers And then all the way back across the country up western new york buffalo bill So buckle up. It'll be a fun ride for the Delphins. All right more to come here on the up and adam show. I thought we're going to get to the speedo That's why I was saying wild. Are we getting to the speedo? All right, hamilton, of course, hamilton wants to talk about a jaguar and a speedo We'll be back with some local heroes after this. Oh jacobi berset Don't you all wish you could stay under senator Well, I mean it's in no disrespect But in the words of tom brady, that was awesome That was awesome How can you not love him? Do I have that coat? It's like a coat that I would definitely have Uh, this is local heroes. We spotlight performances that deserve And are worthy of some spotlight that might have flown under the radar And uh, that's the man I want to talk about jacobi berset that smile Shocking win 2317 over time win over his former teammate tom brady who he Makes light of in that post game presser that was in fact Bleeping awesome jacobi became the first quarterback to ever lead his team from a touchdown deficit in the final minute to beat tom brady Ever ever in history jacobi berset made big time throw after big time throw down the stretch including.  This is over time That oh my god, that was so good. That sets up the game when I didn't see that until right now. I heard it on the radio in my car I cannot believe that the catch. That's amazing Um And he's fun. He's having so much fun out there jacobi berset and he's always done that he did it at the Colts he did at the patriots He's always like a shot in the arm for for offenses and defenses the whole team locker room atmosphere And you see how much his teammates love him how much those fans Love him and embrace him and I just want to say that I think it's an absolute shame That is coming to an end as to sean watson is returning to practice this week and to sean watson Is slated to start sunday against the texans It is not jacobi's fault that this team is four and seven It is not his fault to sean watson is taking over the browns have a top five offense With jacobi berset. They have the 30th ranked defense in the national football league He is played so well. He is so easy to root for he is so likable And I don't think he deserves to get benched and this team now, you know Becomes very much harder to root for Going forward and my only hope is that maybe jacobi berset proved enough this year to land In a healthier situation and maybe get a better opportunity Somewhere next season, but we see you jacobi berset wishing you all the best And we love you here on the up and adam show now coming up next everyone Keep your head on the swivel baby. We got hammer and I'm going through some of the I mean this is what hit him What exactly hit him? Footage of hamilton at his thanksgiving dinner when he finds out that They're all out of the mushroom tressnut gravy and he didn't get second helping A lot of people are going to be screaming about losing to the jags in a couple of years That's our raven said and shout out to hamilton's mom and you I mean Hamilton came on he said, listen everybody stop talking. I've got a brag about my mom stuffing I got a brag about the mushroom chestnut night. I'm here for it. I love it So I hope you had a good Thanksgiving up there In the northeast. Well, you don't want to talk about this. I mean passion is okay But that is I mean he's upset that doug peterson went for two. I'm guessing I hope he's bouncing back On this monday. What a day of football kid It was an incredible day. We had so many great finishes, you know, you kind of wondered looking at that slate like Is this going to be, you know, we had so much good action on Thanksgiving is this going to be kind of a letdown But every game was exciting yesterday. It was it was great and I thought you were wearing a turtleneck But then it's just your beard covering your Crew neck shirt. There's a lot. Yeah, there's a lot to unpack. Hamilton. I love you. There's a lot going on Thankful for you. But let's do this. I want some moments that need to get highlighted again All right, we have to start with this one first energy stadium in cleveland There was a skunk on the loose in the stadium. I don't even know how this happens What's going on here, but like people were just kind of hanging out near it like they they weren't running They're they're throwing bread at it. I would be running in the opposite direction right now I've never been there. Is it an is our skunks common? Can someone let us know?  I don't know. Oh god, what? I'm not taking any chances All right, so that happened. So that's weird in my turn There's an animal crossing chaos on the field here the jags One against the raven. Sorry to that fan again. It was very thrilling, but all eyes. This is jack Mom if you're watching turn it off Jackson Deville, right that's his name. Yeah. Now hamilton is a all Hamilton is an all-timer. Hamilton is the celebrity jacksonville jags fan. It's it's a speedo There's a thong back. I saw on twitter Mask This is giving me fantasy. This is giving me fantasy football punishment energy I mean It helped him get the win. I think it was a distraction out there, you know He's he's not exactly margo robbie running around in that but uh, but still he I thought he pulled it off pretty well And uh, he caused uh, you know, he helped fuel this team to victory. I'm giving jackson deville A huge chunk of the credit here for that win Uh Is it one pump too many Can we show it again? No, I think I can't see it. Yeah, let's see. I think I think we got two pumps in there. Let's see Usa oh one two three one two three. Oh three. That's a penalty three is over the limit. Yeah We got it. We got a throw. Now we did I asked you to ask the mayor What did the mayor have to say lenny curry? What did he have to say Lenny curry said, you know, he thought it was a little strange at first But anything that helps the team get a win get a win. He's on board with so uh, his quote was literally my first reaction My first reaction was what the hell is that but we won in dramatic fashion. So more of that. I know that's okay. That's well That's well reasoned, uh, okay We got to get to this one though. They blew up our group chat. It was the story of the day the brian robinson hat This is uh, this was the star of social media. His friend has a big hat company if you want a big hat Let me know Um, this is is this just a case of a guy, you know really supporting his friend no matter What is it's just it's brian robinson the greatest friend of all time again? This is giving me big Big fantasy football punishment energy here. How does it stay on your head? Is it a hat in a hat? Like it's like I think we got an hat on top of it I think we got something for you here too by the way Oh, there it is at least you guys picked a cute picture. I look cute in that photo It's the first time that's ever happened on this show. I'll tell you that much Uh, I I it's got there's got to be like a base. It seems heavy I obviously I want one did I follow brian robinson on twitter and instagram and all social media accounts? Yes, has he followed me back? No playing hard to get i'm gonna keep shooting my shop What why do you think I wore the sweater today? It's gonna go the burgundy. It's gonna go perfectly with one of those hats I'm ready. I'm all in. You know, we we need to get brian on the show We need Ron Rivera on the show They're alive and well in the playoff picture. Uh, up in Adams. See ya.


Hi everybody, it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you how I've made this rather adorable bench fold card. I've fallen in love with this and this is actually a card for my dad's birthday. Now I've got the inspiration for this one from Inc Responsibly and also from Jambi on YouTube and this has also been a very highly requested card style for me to make loads of you, literally loads of emailed, sent messages, whenever I've thrown out kind of a request like post on Facebook, this one always pops up. So I hope you like my version, let me show you how I made it. Okay, so I used a few different stamps released, I just pulled out different kind of images from each, so I used the carrot and the beetroot from the Fuller Love the Stamps Mixed Vegetables. I used the hanging basket and these ones here from the Card Making Magic Provence Collection for the small little watering can here. It was from the Apple Blossom Lazy Summer Garden. Some of these are still available, so I will link them below. I'm not sure if I'm going to use these in there, I have done and that one actually, I've done those three, that's by Craft Consortium and it was the Herbarian Collection. I've done this one as well, which I'll probably use because I think the proportions of that watering can are better. That was a Dovecraft Secret Garden and then I used quite a few from this one, it's such a handy little stamp set. It was one of the free gifts from Papercraft Essentials, it was called Garden Delights and I've used the sign, I've used the Spade and the Fork. I've used, oh that was it actually, I think I was going to use the Small Fruit and Veg there but they're so tiny and you've got the Wellington Boot there if you want but I did use a die instead for those and I used the obviously the Craft Shed or Dad's Shed there as well. For the dies I've used these three here from the Birdcage Accessories by Card Making Magic and then for, well I just used like the grasses here, I've used these flowers for that kind of little plant tray and I've used the plant pots here, yeah that one as well, those three I think it was and that's from Card Making Magic Province Collection. This is to go with the Secret Garden, I used the Fork and the Trial there and that's the Wellington Boot that I used and I might even die cut that one because I can always add things into it later and then that window which is this one here, Card Making Magic Beautiful Day window and I just used that piece, you do have the shutters and you also have the flower box as well there for the front. Okay so that's all of the slumps and dies, so let's get straight into the card. So I'm going to be, mine wants to be five by seven so this is a piece of 10 by five and along the 10 inch side you want to score at really simple scoring, I've already inked this up and distressed it just so I can keep the video as short as possible and then you're going to do a mountain fold, a valley fold then another valley fold and then finish with a mountain fold and just make sure that you've burnished them all really well ink them up, you know if you're doing a similar scene to me you might be doing yours very girly and you know yours might be your florals and lighter colors, you might not be doing any distressing at all but I will be covering all of these panels shortly. Then you need your little stopper piece and this piece measures five by two and along the five inch side you want to score at half an inch and four and a half and again just fold and burnish and ink up all of those edges and sides and then for the actual I guess the bench part the bridge part whatever you want to call it this is a piece of seven by three and a half and along that three and a half inch side you want to score it one and a half and then pop it back along the seven inch side and you want to score it one and a half just down to that first score line and then at five and a half just down to the first score line so we're actually going to be cutting away this left and right hand cornered squares here. Again I've inked up all of that and I will just have to ink up these sides when I've cut into them. I'll also go through the sizes of the mats and layers while I've got my scoreboard here and I'll talk you through how I've made this kind of faux I guess wood effect. It's really easy to do so this is a piece this is my main kind of mat layer to go in this section here and rather than doing my normal kind of mat and layer where I come in by quarter of an inch on all you know all of the sides I've actually just come in by one eighth of an inch on this because I really do want it to look like this whole thing is just one you know piece of wood effect card so this is a piece of three and seven eighths by four and seven eighths and then I've got four pieces of one and three eighths by four and seven eighths and they're going to go on your four panels and you'll just need to do that size again for the back in white so you've got somewhere to stamp your message as well and then this piece is for the front middle section and this is three and seven eighths by one and seven eighths again as always all the measurements will be in my blog okay so this here was just kind of a it was already a wood kind of effect see there you just see that's the actual pattern paper and this was from Pound World before they closed down I think they've been closed now maybe a year and a half couple of years and all I then done is I just got my scoreboard and I just randomly scored some lines so you can see there I've got one that's like one eighth of an inch this is about half then three eighths then half then a quarter and so on so I've done them all a bit random and then you want to fold each one so we'll do this one for example and then I've got this little tool which is by Dovecraft and it's a distressing tool and it's got little blades in all of the little petals like the you know I guess the corners of all the petals there or whatever anyway I then went along and just kind of went over it until it exposed the white core color of that card and then just with my blending brush just put some ink on it and just blend over it you can also grab the ink pad and actually directly rub the cardstock onto it and you'll get a real intense you see how intense that is it does kind of drive it lighter it will all blend in but that's how I got that effect and I think it turned out really well so I just done that on all of those pieces now if you don't have a cardstock that's already got a bit of a grain on it just use the craft card okay and you still get a really nice effect by adding those score lines and everything so that's what I did to get that effect I'm going to stick all those down in a moment before we do that we need to cut this piece here so you just want to cut down one of those score lines and then across so you're removing it and I've just taken away the score line now I'm going to ink that all up as well but it just means you'll get a nicer kind of join when we put it all together and again just remove that one there and then I'm just going to ink up all of this now I've actually just had a little idea with this piece because this is going to be the the top of the shed kind of table I'm thinking I don't want it to have that same wood here because that's your shed you know the the actual frame so what I'm going to do instead I'm going to lay this back in here and I'm just going to put a score line about every three eighth of an inch just down to the first score line this is purely decorative but I'm just thinking this will give me a nice kind of wood effect countertop I guess that's what I'm kind of going for I am going to do these all equally kind of reminds me of my granddad's work bench because his is a bit like that and then I can just and then just go over it with the ink I'm going to go quite dark I want this to look you know much darker than the rest of the card stock actually going to fold it over because that way I can really get into it without going over on that other bit I'm not bothered about inside of this you're not going to see any of this at all okay but now I think I've got quite a good wooden countertop there so I'm really pleased with that so just you know at least then you get to see how you can create those effects okay so I want to add this one down first of all before I attach the stopper so I think it's just going to be easier to do so so I'm going to use my kalal glue throughout because it will really add lots of strength okay and then I want to grab two of these and stick these on the middle you know on the inside sections as well or panels because again we need to stick that over it so lay all this down first of all okay for the last ones I'm going to stick this down and then put the panels over the top because I want it to kind of conceal that and just look like you know it's just kind of yeah I just think for me I want it to go over you could if you want you know have that depending on the look or the you know the theme that you're doing you could stick them down now and then have that over the top there okay but I'm going to be sticking it down afterwards so now this piece here just want to add glue onto the two side tabs and then you're going to sit it so it this bottom here runs flush with the bottom of the card and butt it right up into that score line here and just fold the whole thing over make sure it is flush there we go and then I can just come over to this side and stick that one over and just keep moving it side to side so it all folds nice and flat but I can see there it doesn't matter which way I go you know the card does fold flat and you can see there there's our stopper okay and then next I'm going to stick this down and you can see it will all line up there and when you push that down it will sit on top of that stopper inside but now we've got our little shed countertop with the the back bit there but before I put that down I need to add my window so I have this here you may not have this um you know it's just I think it's really nice you know it is how it looks for my dad you know he's got a a kind of you know workbench and then it's right with the window there so I just wanted to kind of recreate that plus when this goes in it will kind of clip well possibly is it going to yeah I think it might just clip underneath the window I'm not too worried if it didn't but we'll see when it all goes together but again it will just kind of hold that all in place so what I'm going to do here is you can mark with a pencil if you want I'm just going to lay this on here pop my finger kind of there and you can see roughly you just want to add your glue you know not above this two inches really um otherwise you're well I'm going to be covering it all anyway so it doesn't really make too much of a difference for me but you know depending on how you're decorating yours you may want to just be careful where you add your glue so like so I'm just going to stick that over so I have actually come a bit high with the glue there but it doesn't like I said it doesn't really matter for me but just get it into its shape because this is exactly seven inches wide so you know it's going to fit in your envelope and then if you just bring it down you'll be able to really put some pressure on there and just make sure that's all nice and secure again I can go that way and it all folds flat as well okay and then that is going to go just there and I'm thinking I'm going to have mine it I thought it might have gone under but I actually like that that's going to act as like a little bit of a clip for the the ledge to kind of clip under so my window comes up a little bit high there I could it's not going to interfere with the envelope because your envelopes usually give you an extra quarter of an inch I'm going to keep it as it is so whatever if you are doing something like me then you know if it does come you might even have the same window if it comes a little bit higher I don't think it's really going to matter but I'm going to line up the bottom of this with the bottom of with the you know the height of the kind of the countertop there but you can see it kind of bounces up if I hold it up yeah I mean it does stay flat actually see there it's completely flat but this will just kind of clip it in place so I'm going to just sit it about there and then I can still lift it up to fold everything flat but it does yeah it clips itself underneath the the bottom of the window there so at least it would definitely stay down actually really then kind of you know keeps its shape as well so yeah I'm just going to kind of hold that there for a second all right so while that's drying I can now stick down these panels here and then this panel which will go like so okay so that's everything covered so now it's just down to the decoration um so I've cut this did I cut this trellis here which is going to go up one of the sides I'm probably going to trim a bit off the bottom and put a little um I've got a little planter here actually so I'm probably going to have that you know do something with that along the bottom I have die cut these trees all the leaves even and I love this that I made I bring it up there can you see it's just so cute it's just little rectangles of craft card um I think I cut three stuck them on top of each other then cut some thin strips and just put them on either end and then I made these like little leather looking handles I just thinly cut some green card and then these are those flowers from the die set and the idea is is that it's going to sit on here and it can kind of hang off the edge because it will all fold flat but I really like that on there I think it looks super cute and then I'm probably going to have maybe these I might have them hung but I'm kind of thinking to keep them just kind of on the the top there like that I really like it I've got my dad shed there which I have added some glossy accents to that's going to probably hang along on that side and I'm just going to carry on I've got little plant pots there I've got these little there we go that's better aren't they cute we've just put little wooden they're just cross sticks and I just inked them up with some brown I've also got a hanging basket so I need to think about that as well with that so we'll see this might not get added well I'm not sure yet but anyway I'm going to pop it on high speed and yeah have some fun sticking this all down I absolutely adore it I am totally in love with it I've thoroughly enjoyed making this card so you can see the little sign and the glossy accents I love the faux glass there as well in the window it looks really like mottled like old vintage glass I've got the Wellington boots I love these the little planters there or the sign sorry I've got the little beetroot kind of top poking out the plant pot there hanging basket and just I just love it I just love all the detail and then on the back I just cut a piece of white card stamped happy birthday and then I've just used some of the bits I had left over still got a few bits left there but I'll keep them for another card and then you just pop out the top there and then the whole thing folds flat you know I'm going to be giving this card by hand so I'll be able to kind of explain what you do with it if you're worried that someone may not know then it might be worth dropping some instructions inside just you know just push that bit down or something but now I want to make the envelope because I've got a little bit overhanging here and this overhangs the top I'm actually going to make my envelope a little bit bigger so if you do keep it all within that size and it will fit in a five by seven standard envelope but I'm actually going to follow the one here for the five and a half by seven and a half so it's telling me I need a piece of 10 and a half by 10 and a half which I've already cut from the secret garden collection this is really nice paper it's got all like the mint and the tarragon and well all the herbs all over it so I just thought it you know it was all in keeping so this one here it's telling me that I need to do my first score line at four and a half inches so I'm going to pop it in here line it up with the four and a half punch and score don't worry if it doesn't go all the way down then I'm going to work on the opposite side and then on this side I'm just going to slide it along until that meets there and score and then again the opposite side like so now I'm just going to fold and burnish all of the score lines I'm going to just add some tape to the two short sides if you are not delivering this by hand then I would highly recommend that you pop it into a box envelope and I will link my box envelopes up here because I've got the five by seven and six by six versions there but now this is one of my bouncy envelopes so I can just pop that up pop it in here and you can see it's got plenty of room nothing's catching I'll be careful of my little handles there don't get squashed but I'm now going to just bring these over and they will wrap around all the dimension on the card so I call these a bouncy envelope so I'm just going to bring this over and just kind of tack it across there take the card back out pop it over and put your hand in there just push down on that glue but now we've got a bouncy envelope and it's perfect for when you're hand delivering a dimensional card and you don't really want to make a box for it all but now that will slide in there perfectly and all I've got to do is put some tape on there and that is all ready now for me to give that is today's bench fold card I've thoroughly enjoyed making this I do hope it inspires you to make your own and I look forward to seeing what you share over on the mixed up crafters Facebook group as always I'll try and share as many of the links to the product that I've used today in the description box below and I'll be back very soon with another tutorial thanks for watching bye


is accessible, then certain things will come out. And perhaps because they come out faster, people will be able to catch problems earlier. But in and of itself, releasing data is not going to make that data better. I think that openness is a very good policy and I think it's something that people will potentially pay much more attention to. So if I am going to put, again, my reputation on the line and say, this is my data, maybe I'm gonna look at that data a little bit more frequently. Maybe I'm going to look at it a little bit more carefully to make sure that my data looks as good as my paper looks. But the act of opening data probably by itself, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. But hopefully one of the things that will happen is that it becomes a more important part of the paper, a more important part of my scholarly work. The things that you want to be able to do is the same thing as you're doing with journals. Making sure that you have the appropriate number of subjects that are both genders. Making sure that your statistics gets looked at by a statistician. Every campus has a statistics department. Those people are available. I'm sure that you can, you know, seek some collaboration. If nothing else, get some help. When I was a graduate student, I remember I had to do this because there were some numbers and they were a little tricky. I wasn't quite sure that I was doing the statistics correctly. So I went over to the stats department and I said, hey, could somebody please help me look at this? And I was a grad student, somebody helped. So that was great. But the other part is, of course, with the authentication of key biological organisms, or key biological resources, sorry. So again, looking at what are the ways that we can actually know that this is the cell line that we're using. So this is the antibody that is actually working in the case that we think it should be working in. So that piece of authentication, it's how do you know that this is actually working properly? And so there are different places that you can go. So for cell lines, iclack.org is a great resource. They have a lot of guidelines in terms of how do I get this information? How do I figure out, you know, that this cell line is actually what it's supposed to be? And they have a few different things that they say. One of the things is sequence it immediately. Then do a spot check. Then after that, at the end of the study, sequence it again. It should match. All of those three time points should match. So if they don't match, then you know something is wrong with them, methodology. Something has happened with that cell line. For antibodies, this is a little more tricky. There's a table that we've put together that really tries to outline how one might validate that particular antibody, how one might know that it's actually working properly. And this is, again, this is even more difficult than just sequencing a cell line, because antibodies tend to fail, unfortunately, way too often. There have been some estimates where about half of them fail. And they don't always fail in a way that you expect them to fail. Often they actually recognize some other epitope, for example. So one of the things that's really easy to check is the application that I'm using this antibody for actually validated by the vendor or the manufacturer. That's an easy thing to be able to look up. Another thing, if the vendor or manufacturer doesn't have any information or any data about what's been validated for that antibody, don't use that antibody. Oh my goodness. That means that they're just buying this antibody from somewhere or they're, you know, putting in something crazy in a bottle. They should have the data. They should have the material datasheet. They should have the validation information. If they validated that antibody for a Western blot, great. But if you're using it for immunohistochemistry, that's a problem. Because that particular protein in a Western blot will be tweaked in a certain way. And in an immunohistochemistry preparation, that's going to be sitting inside of other tissues. The antibody might work great for Western, but it won't work in this case. So you have to validate per usage. So you can't just validate Western blot and say it'll work across anything. Well, it may not work in immunoprecipitation. It may not work in immunohistochemistry. So you actually need to validate for immunohistochemistry. And we have some ways that people can actually look at this. There's a paper in Nature Methods that was sort of a consensus of of the experts paper, which kind of put together a nice table that showed, okay, here's the gold standard method of validating for every kind of experiment. Immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry, etc. You can go by that table. It's relatively straightforward, if not simple. But these are just some ways that we can actually know that we are actually using what we think we're using. And that's all that the NIH wants you to do. It wants you to think about the methods, it wants you to really pay attention to the methods. And I think good journal articles, and good advisors, good scientists have always known this. And they've always been able to do this. I think science has lost lost its way a little bit. But we need to come back on the right road.

This is the VOA Special English Economics Report. Energy has become an important issue in the American presidential campaign. And gasoline prices cost that affect almost all Americans have risen sharply in recent months. For example, former Massachusetts governor, Mitt Romney, has criticized President Obama's energy policy. In a newspaper commentary, he said the president has let prices rise while placing too many requirements on the energy industry. One issue in the political debate is a project proposed by the Canadian company TransCanada. Its Keystone XL pipeline would stretch more than 3,000 kilometers from Alberta, Canada to several oil processing centers in the United States. If completed, the project would cost about $13 billion and transport over one million barrels of oil a day. The Republican Party has criticized President Obama for delaying work on the oil pipeline. Republican Doc Hastings serves in the United States Congress. He says the party wants to use all of the nation's energy resources. Mr. Hastings says that would include use of both the Keystone XL pipeline and oil exploration in coastal waters. He says Republicans in the House of Representatives have passed reforms that break down government barriers to America's natural resources. And he says the House has passed legislation that would open coastal areas to new oil exploration and production. In early March, President Obama visited a Daimler truck factory in North Carolina. He told workers that more oil exploration is not an easy answer to the nation's energy problems. He said the United States has 2% of the world's oil reserves but uses 20% of the world's oil. He said this means that even with increased oil production there is no easy answer to high gasoline prices. Workers at the North Carolina factory build alternative fuel vehicles. Mr. Obama told them that new sources of energy mean more jobs. The president has called for tax breaks on clean energy vehicles and urged local governments to buy them. He also has asked lawmakers to end $4 billion in support for the oil and gas industries. For VOA Special English, I'm Carolyn Presuti.

Perhaps the best thing we can do is to ask the person what they want us to do in a particular conversation. So here's an example that she refers to, and this is taken from the interview. She says, and this is someone reporting or telling someone about a sexual assault. Sorry, this is intense. But she says, quote, if we ask them, the person who is confiding us in the right context, properly supportive, what do you want to happen? Oftentimes, someone would tell us through that answer what it is that they're looking for. Are they looking for belief? She says that's huge, especially when a person is reporting on a serious injustice, because those things so often are disbelieved. Just looking for believed often is in of itself incredibly significant. So perhaps in that moment, we need to ask that person, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to tell somebody? And we can also make it very particular to a particular context. How do you want me to respond? Is this something that you want me to do? Do you just want me to listen? And I think that can go a long way. And so this interview, this suggestion, also has me thinking of other suggestions that perhaps not only should we ask someone, but when we're engaging with a conversation with someone, perhaps maybe we need to preface our conversations with telling that person what we want them to do in that particular conversation. So let me give you an example. So a close friend of mine recently texted me and they said to me, I have to tell you something, very serious. I knew it wasn't about me, right? Because it would have been a different kind of text. And she didn't have an issue with me. She's like, I want to tell you something. And I'm like, oh, this is going to be good, right? And I'm waiting for you, and she's about to tell me because I know it's going to be juicy. And she says to me, but I'm going to need you not to judge, right? And she knows me. She knows that a moral and political philosopher, and all I do is all day, is judge people and things and work, right? So she told me who she didn't want me to be. So I was very hyper aware of that. So she tells me, thank God she told me before because I would have been very super judgy at the very beginning of the conversation. So she tells me that it was good too. She tells me this juicy, just juicy thing. And I was able to be the non-judgy friend in that conversation. And I learned a lot from that, right? And you can imagine if she would have kept that in, and I would have been my normal judgy self. That would have made her feel, perhaps that would have affected our future conversations and what she felt comfortable with telling me. But I think sometimes not only asking a person what they want us to do in a particular conversation, but sometimes we may want to tell people who we want them to be. Now mind you, this is all context sensitive. Not all conversation is going to call for this. Sometimes there are some things that a person may tell us that want us to be, that perhaps ethically ought not to be, right? It would depend. This is context sensitive. There's no doubt that I believe that sometimes we can tell a person what we want them to do, how we want them to respond. And that would be very useful, right? And then I...
