Valentine Sneak Peak
I am still alive! It has been quite a month, trying to recover from Christmas selling, cleaning up my house after Christmas selling, entertaining family, creating new organizational skills ;0} and getting all caught up on orders.
I spent time today taking apart an old door, cleaning out my garage, then editing some of the pics from my Valentine Mini Session I shot down in Fairmont, MN last weekend. We did like 20 families in a day and a half, then I came home and died.
These are just my sister's kids. Neither were planned pics, just having a bit of fun between clients. More client pictures to come...and Toolbox Tuesdays, and new shelves, and new crafts. So many plans, so few hours in the day. Anyway, enjoy these little snipshots and I will be back soon!

Door No More
The following images are very dirty! They contain a door that has been left lonely and abandoned in my garage for the better part of 3, maybe 4 years! While these images may be shockingly sawdust covered, the door in the photos has been rescued from it's torturous circumstances and will soon be living in a
less-dirty home environment.
Hello my friend. Today we will be taking the first steps to place this lost and forgotten door into a loving home. Before it can all happen, we have to remove the glass. I chose to post these pictures just in case you know of a door, laden with glass pains, that needs similar TLC for whatever reason. This door has been adopted by a fabulous shelving system that has just the perfect spot for him. Following our procedure today, and a couple sloppy coats of paint, this handsome fellow will be permanently employed in my photo studio.
Since this process is a messy one, I have refrained from cleaning the door first.
I am sorry.
It is very painful to look at all of that dust, so if you happen to be allergic, close your eyes.
Did you know that these doors have a good side and a bad side to work on???
One side of the door {if you have a well built door that is ;0} is solid wood on one side, but on the other side, it is a series of shelf-like ledges for the glass to sit on, and then some trim that has been nailed or stapled into place to hole the glass. The image above shows the window section with the wood trim still on. The image below shows the same window segment without the trim. That image shows what the ledges look like without the trim...
Let's get started prying that wood trim off!
My preferred tools of choice, a chisel and a hammer. I have been known to use a slot head screwdriver when a chisel could not be found. Basically, stick that chisel as close to the seam between the trim and the door sashing as possible. Tap the handle of the chisel or screwdriver {a butter knife can be used but don't tell anyone I told you that. It would be embarrassing} a time or two and you will begin to see a gap open up between the trim piece and the sashing.
Tap, pry. Tap, pry, move down a little. Do it some more.
If your wood splinters here it is A-O-K. Take the top slivers off and start again.
The first piece is the worst, and typically it breaks in the middle. Once that first piece is off, the other three drop like flies. You can see in the top right picture above that staples or nails can be left behind. You will want to remove those before trying to take the glass out.
I use pliers/wire cutters. I have found the area too small for a hammer, so the plier/wire cutter option is probably the best idea for removing the hardware.
Then you are good to take that glass out.
This door was SO STINKEN' HEAVY!!!
I bet you had no idea it was all the glass's fault!?!
Once that glass was out it was like lifting a milk gallon instead of the whole cow. Working in my messy garage, I put the glass pieces in an old pizza box and tossed the box into the recycling bin {since glass is recyclable}. That was the heaviest pizza box I have EVER lifted!
Don't you know, this door must have had a piece of glass break. It had trim that had been nailed, unlike the rest of the panes held in with staples, AND the dumb piece of glass was stuck in there with caulk. I was able to take the trim off no problem, but the glass was basically glued to the door with caulk that WOULD NOT BUDGE!
This point is where everything gets messy.
I used to remove all glass this way, lay the piece over a garbage can, cover it with a towel to guard against splinters, and then bang the glass until my arm was vibrating. It isn't the preferred way now that I know how doors are made and how they go together. It makes it much easier to take them apart. This whole process counts for windows too BTW.
Anyway, I laid the one pain over the garbage can, facing the side I had de-trimmed down towards the trash can. {Sorry for making you stare into my trash can ;0} I did tap on the glass with the hammer, and the glass did break, but it was nothing like trying to break the glass when it was all locked in with trim.
I tapped along the edge of the glass to try and loosen the calk's grip on the glass. The glass did break, but it broke in bigger pieces. You want the glass to break in big pieces so there are less tiny shards to clean out later. The big chunk fell into the trash can, then I tapped on the big pieces that remained. Basically this piece fell out in three big chunks and then I was left with the little corner of shards shown below.
I just put the door back over the trash can and used my chisel and hammer to knock those little shards free. It worked like a charm!
In less than 10 minutes I had 8 pains of glass out and the door vacuumed off!
The first window I ever gutted was adorable.
It was at my first house we bought after graduate school. This is a picture of the house last winter, all the windows replaced by the new owners. If you look at the back of the house...
You can see the tiny long window at the top. That window is the bathroom. Scott and I took the windows out that were there when we moved in {they were about 3 inches off the floor of the bathroom. Something about that was awkward to me ;0}
We took the widows out, built up the wall, and made a much smaller window-that did not open- using just the top window pane.
The house was over 100 years old and had these beautiful windows, called prairie style similar to this picture, all throughout the house. I JUST LOvEd them! Long story short, I decided we needed to take the bottom windows, dig out the glass, replace it with mirror, and use them as doors for our bathroom vanity.
If I could find my pictures on the computer I would show you. I will have to bribe hubs to get the old computer hooked up again, but just trust me, IT WAS GORGEOUS!
The thing was, I didn't know about the whole trim popping off like magic thing, so I spent probably 8 hours between my Dremel and my RotoZip digging the glass out of that hard, hard, super hard wood used back in the 1870's. Once I learned I could have just popped the trim off I felt like a fool. Obviously I was working on the wrong side of the windows, thinking they must have been magicians to get the glass in the middle of the wood like that.
I only tell you that story so you don't make the same mistake. Poke just a bit at the sashing between the glass and see if the trim pops off. If not, try the other side of the door. One side is magical, trust me ;0}
Now to get the rest of my plan in place and build my amazingness in the photo room. I am getting really sick of all the clutter from miles and piles of props. This newly gleaned door will be part of a shelving system I am dreaming of...if only I could figure out the final parts I would be in business. More on that later...

Christmas Mini Session, Take Three!
I just realized I never got the last pictures posted from my Christmas Mini Session!
Christmas was a blur, with finishing up orders, getting the house ready, then coming down with influenza and pneumonia the day before Christmas Eve. What a holiday. Anyway, here are a few more pictures with just a couple silly ones like this one I just couldn't leave out. I had fun with every one of these shoots.
Does he not remind you of Daddy Warbucks??? From Annie, the original movie!?!
I LOvE this kid!
<3 p="">3>
Awe! There are my darlings again. Love these kids!
I just realized I missed a couple more!!! I may be back with Take Four...

Its been awhile.....I know
I truly love to post what I am doing, however I am still learning how to be more organized and get my blogs out in a timely manner....oh who am I kidding right?! You all know that I am just a gosh darn slacker when it comes to posting regularly....still love me?
Ok, I have been soooo busy, just like everyone, my life is just one crazy wonderful day after the other and when I am on top of my game, I am taking pictures and posting....I havent been on my game for a while now...I blame my personal life, but I am feeling like things are setteling down a bit and I can put my attention on what I love best...sharing what I am doing ( mostly though its the best way I have of remembering what I have done recently)...hehe. Seriously though, I have some great new pics and I am very hard at work on some very important projects close to my heart. I look forward to the day when I can share it with others!
I was so inspired by the Lovely Penni From Tulsa that I decided I was going to juice approx 3 pounds of greens daily. I am still eating food, I am just including the green juice and I have to say, I feel better because of it and deep down inside I knew I would!
Check out her Video, She is so delightful and this vid is so helpful!!!

Exercise is good for everyone, but it can do so much more for someone who suffers from a chronic disease such as heart disease, diabetes or asthma. Your doctor should always be the first person to consult when it comes to exercise, but usually with chronic disease, it may be even more important to stretch and move. Although exercise cannot cure your condition, it can help improve the quality of your life in more than one way.
A small amount of exercise is, in most cases, better than none. Your doctor can establish a safe level of activity for you, which will depend on your health, the stage of the disease and your abilities. The benefits include weight control, improved mood and mental health, bone and muscle strengthening and even an improvement in your condition.
Recent studies have shown that exercise is not only safe and possible during cancer treatment, but can also improve how well you function and the quality of your life. In cancer patients, too much rest can lead to a gradual loss of body function, muscle weakness and a reduced range of motion. Your ability to exercise will be affected by the type and stage of the cancer and the treatment for it, as well as your stamina, strength and fitness level.
Generally speaking, if you were sedentary before you started undergoing the cancer treatment, it's best to start with a short, low-intensity activity, such as walking slowly for a short period of time. If you exercised before you started doing the treatment, you might need to exercise less than usual or at a lower intensity, based on how your body is responding. Make sure to speak to your doctor. He or she can help you better understand what you can or can't do, especially if the treatments can affect your lungs, heart or if you are at risk for lung or heart disease.
Heart disease
It's no secret that regular exercise can help improve your heart health. Being active does not only that, but also lowers your blood pressure, burns off the stress and helps keep your weight in check. Recent studies have shown that interval training, which alternates high- and low-intensity activity, is tolerated well by those who suffer from heart disease. Talk to your doctor about how much exercise you can do and how often, what type of activities you can try or should avoid and, most importantly, what warning signs you need to watch for while exercising.
Patients with diabetes are often encouraged to exercise regularly in order to reduce the risk of developing a cardiovascular disease and for better blood sugar level control. The reason for that is because working muscles use more glucose than resting muscles.
According to the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, regular exercise for adults is defined as at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity every week, as well as muscle-strengthening activities that work all major muscle groups on at least two days every week. Moderate intensity aerobic activities include fast-paced walking, light jogging, bike riding and water aerobics.
Talk to your doctor about all the precautions you should take while exercising. For example, if you're on blood sugar lowering medication, hypoglycemia can occur if you eat to little carbohydrate relative to exercise or if you take too much medication relative to exercise.
While you may worry that exercising could harm your joints and cause more pain, research has shown that patients suffering from arthritis can and should exercise. Exercise is considered the most effective non-drug treatment when it comes to reducing pain and improving movement. Aquatic exercises are especially beneficial to you, because water helps relieve the pressure of the body's weight on the affected joints. However, flexibility exercises, such as stretching, are also recommended, as they help improve your range of motion.
Studies have concluded that overall, people with asthma tolerate exercise well, with no worsening of the symptoms after exercise. Swimming is ideal for asthmatics, as breathing in highly humidified and warm air keeps attacks at bay. However, beware of pools with excessive chlorine, as this chemical can irritate your airways. If you can smell it in the air, it's too much. Other activities that have been deemed beneficial for asthmatics are yoga, thanks to its breathing exercises, and walking. Research has shown that walking three times a week for 12 weeks can improve asthma control and fitness level without provoking an attack.
This is how regular exercise can prove to be especially beneficial for those struggling with chronic diseases. Remember, however, to always consult with your doctor before undertaking any exercise, as he or she alone can determine what level of activity you can manage.

All Product Details
Boolean algebra, also called Boolean logic, is at the heart of the electronic circuitry in everything we use--from our computers and cars, to our kitchen gadgets and home appliances. How did a system of mathematics established in the Victorian era become the basis for such incredible technological achievements a century later? In The Logician and the Engineer, best-selling popular math writer Paul Nahin combines engaging problems and a colorful historical narrative to tell the remarkable story of how two men in different eras--mathematician and philosopher George Boole (1815-1864) and electrical engineer and pioneering information theorist Claude Shannon (1916-2001)--advanced Boolean logic and became founding fathers of the electronic communications age.
Presenting the dual biographies of Boole and Shannon, Nahin examines the history of Boole's innovative ideas, and considers how they led to Shannon's groundbreaking work on electrical relay circuits and information theory. Along the way, Nahin presents logic problems for readers to solve and talks about the contributions of such key players as Georg Cantor, Tibor Rado, and Marvin Minsky--as well as the crucial role of Alan Turing's "Turing machine"--in the development of mathematical logic and data transmission. Nahin takes readers from fundamental concepts to a deeper and more sophisticated understanding of how a modern digital machine such as the computer is constructed. Nahin also delves into the newest ideas in quantum mechanics and thermodynamics in order to explore computing's possible limitations in the twenty-first century and beyond.
The Logician and the Engineer shows how a form of mathematical logic and the innovations of two men paved the way for the digital technology of the modern world.
"From electromechanical relays to quantum computing, Nahin takes us on a delightful exploration of Boolean logic and the careers of George Boole and Claude Shannon. This is a superb book for anyone who wants to understand how that gigahertz chip in their favorite electronic doohickey really works."--Lawrence Weinstein, author of Guesstimation 2.0: Solving Today's Problems on the Back of a Napkin
"Written with the skill and ability that we have come to expect from Paul Nahin, The Logician and the Engineer is an interesting and informative account of the history of formal logic, the lives of its two great investigators, and the applications of Boolean algebra in electronic computation."--Chuck Adler, St. Mary's College
"In this book, Nahin brings to life the immense practical outcomes of deep theoretical ideas. Too often, technological advances are seen as isolated inventions and the underlying mathematical and scientific infrastructure goes unappreciated. By following the story of George Boole and Claude Shannon with a lively historical style, and a futuristic extension to quantum computing, Nahin makes the connection of theory and practice into something vivid and compelling."--Andrew Hodges, author of Alan Turing: The Enigma
The Logician and the Engineer shows how a form of mathematical logic and the innovations of two men paved the way for the digital technology of the modern world.

New Delhi, Apr 21 (UNI) Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee sees his office as ''very much covered'' by the Right to Information, a spokesman said tonight.
The occupant of one of India's highest Constitutional offices was answering journalists a day after newspapers carried Chief Justice of India K G Balakrishnan's response on RTI.
Asked if the CJI's office came within the purview of the RTI Act, Justice Balakrishnan had remarked it was a Constitutional post and not a government office.
The Speaker pointed out that the Constitution has provided the Right to Information and no one is above the Constitution, the institutions created by which are for the people.
''We should not hold back any information from the people unless it is related to security or such matters,'' Chatterjee was quoted as having said.

Guest post by David A. Koop
I have tried many out of the box ideas for marketing my top 10 bestselling cancer memoir Cancer It's a Good Thing I Got It! What I would like to share with you now combines several of those ideas together, providing spectacular results for me. They can do the same for you.
While I was still in the middle of the writing process, I had business cards printed up. Yes, the full color cover of my book on the front and some very important information on the back.
I talked and talked with everyone about my book and always gave them a card. Every time I paid a bill I put two of my book cards in with the check. After paying for my meal at restaurants I always left a book card with the receipt. I still do these things today.
Part of the information on the back of the first book cards, those issued prior to publication, offered readers a chance to pre-purchase an autographed copy of my book at a discount. Yes, I did receive early orders with payment.
Those back orders were a strong incentive for me to finish writing the book. I had received readers' hard-earned cash and even spent it, so I really needed to finish the book. If I could get people to pay that much money for the promise of a book, imagine how many I could sell with an actual book in hand.
One particular group of people who received a lot of those cards was Alaska Airlines employees: Ticket agents, gate agents, baggage handlers and flight attendants. It was great to see orders coming in online, the majority with one thing in common. email@example.com, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, and on and on and on. WOW! It really works.
Many people who chose not to pre-order took advantage of another discount code "I Met Him." It gave them a 20% discount. They emailed us their interest in getting a copy of the book when it was published. With their names on our email list, a publication notice went out when the book was done and a wave of new orders came in.
It worked so well that with the help of all the pre-orders and pent up demand, my book was pushed onto the bestseller list!
I never go anywhere without my books in my briefcase, and I sell books every day that I can be out and about. The employees of Alaska Airlines are still top customers. I have yet to take a trip where I haven't sold a least one book per leg of the trip, usually more. Some employees have purchased one for themselves and extra copies for gifts.
One here, three or four there, no I'm not going to get rich at that rate. But at the end of the year it is an extra 300 to 400 books sold and lots of new readers spreading the word. Talk to everyone, everywhere, all the time and NEVER go out without some books.
Note from John Kremer: David attended the Palm Springs seminar I did recently, and I know he sold copies to many of the attendees, including multiple copies in some cases. David has a great story to tell - and he sells it well.

Disclaimer: I own everything you see! I am God! You shells obey me and worship me and ground I walk on...oh right I forgot…I don't…
A/N: if you want to get things clearer you are welcome to go to my profile and read the prequel to this piece that called "Blizzard", this is a missing moment from GoF since the prequel was a missing moment from PoA.
Thanks again for reading I hope you'll enjoy.
Ron was oblivious to the reason why he was still awake. Was it the cold wind that blew outside? Or perhaps it was Neville snores? It could have been his grumbling stomach, but it wasn't. It was the most obvious yet the biggest mystery in the world to him.
The same Hermione that ranted when he said spew. The same Hermione that slapped Malfoy last year. The same Hermione that read Hogwarts: A History, 1264 time (but who counts?). The same Hermione that always bug him to do his homework. The same Hermione he kissed on their first and only Hogsmeade weekend without Harry on Halloween last year, but now it was the same Hermione that went to the Yule Ball with Viktor Krum.
Viktor Bloody Krum.
"Vicky." Ron muttered to himself and laughed as he went down straits to the common room. "He's not that good of a quidditch player. And his nose is so huge! What does she sees in him?" he asked himself as he set on the big sofa in front the fire.
"He's nice and very smart." Ron jumped as he heard the sound of her voice with much surprise.
"What are you doing here?"
"Sitting, Ronald. Am I not allowed to do that too?"
"You don't need my permeation it's a free castle."
"Really? What happened to 'I forbid you to do anything without my permeation'?"
"That rule goes only under the Krum criteria." Hermione snorted at this.
"Why is that, Ronald?"
"Because I don't like him."
"Says the boy that only two months ago longed for his autograph."
Ron opened and closed his mouth like a fish seconds later he recollected himself and said with a very sad refrain. "I give up." He got up from the sofa and started to walk towards the boys dormitory stairs.
"Ron?" Hermione called him quietly. "Don't go." She walked over to where he was and she saw the sad twinkle in his eyes.
"I sorry Ron. I'm sorry for everything, for not telling I was going with Viktor for the first place, for yelling at you before the Ball and at the Ball and after the Ball. I really am sorry."
"I'm sorry too. I really wanted to ask you-"
"Then why didn't you?"
"I was afraid you'd say no."
"I would never do such thing.
"I was scared; I was so scared that I never had the chance to tell you how beautiful you looked tonight." Ron ears were very pink and Hermione giggled softly at the sight.
"You thought I was beautiful tonight?"
"I always think you're beautiful."
"Oh Ron!" Hermione cried and wrapped her arm around his neck and hugged him.
"I have to tell you, I was eating my heart out when I saw you with Krum."
"You did?"
"Don't be so cheery about it, but yes I did. I was even more mad when the Ball was over I realized that I lost my chance to dance with you."
"You were?"
"Yes I was."
"If we're being honest here I have tell you that I was also jealous."
"When you asked Fleur and not me, and when it was Padma and not me who got to go with you."
"You really were?"
"I was and I really wanted to dance with you too."
There was suddenly an uncomfortable silence between the two; they still had their arms around each other but avoiding each other's eyes.
"Yes Ron?"
"Would you like to dance with me on this beautiful snowy night?"
"I would love too, but we got no music."
"I'll sing it for you."
"Alright then." Ron placed one hand on Hermione's hip and the other was held in Hermione's palm as her other hand was on Ron's shoulder.
"Ready?" Ron asked tenderly as he caressed the back of Hermione's hand with his thumb.
"For you, always." She answered and after a small delay Ron began to sing softly:
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
"I love this song." Hermione said as she rested her head on Ron's chest while their bodies moved in perfect harmony.
"My Mum told me once that this was the song she and my Dad danced to in their wedding for the first time as a married couple."
"That's so sweet, but Ginny told me they got in the summer."
"They did, but my Dad told my Mud that he loved her on Christmas when they danced at my Mum's parents Christmas party when they were still in Hogwarts and it was to this song." He then continued singing as he waited for her response to his words:
And I'm dreaming of a white Christmas And have a merry Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
And have a merry Christmas, too
And have a merry Christmas
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write…
"You said that your father told your Mum that he loves her as they danced to this song?"
"I did say that."
"Does that mean that you-"
"It does."
"Me too Ron."
"I hoped you'd say that."
They swayed silently, lost in each other embrace with only Ron's soft humming and the crackling of the fire making sound as if they were the alone in the world not thinking about tomorrow concentrating on tonight and on what they are now. Together.
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases…
All your Christmases…All your Christmases be white
Ron bent down and lightly placed his lips on Hermione's and kissed her ever so softly yet with much love.
They broke apart and rested their foreheads against each other still holing on to one another as life depended on it.
"Happy Christmas Ron." Hermione whispered and gave him one last hug and a pack on the lips before she headed to the girls' dormitory.
"Happy Christmas, Love."
A/N: I had to write this…I had it in my head for such a long time after I wrote Blizzard, fluffy I know, but who doesn't love fluff once in a while? There will be another piece, but it will be a missing moment from OoTP!
Reviews are very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very WELCOME!

History of Siloam Springs Told Through Photographs
Local author Don Warden pens new book on this city in Benton County.
Siloam Springs was established in 1880 and is known for the beauty of the parks lining Sager Creek as it winds through the downtown. Eight of the springs feeding into the creek were once considered medicinal, which brought health seekers and summer visitors to the town for many years. Visitors and residents also enjoyed Chautauqua programs, concerts in the parks, and dramas in the opera house.
White settlement along the creek dates back to the arrival of Simon Sager and family by 1839. The first town along the creek was Hico, which was established around 1845 by Caldeen and Nancy Ward Gunter.
Today, Siloam Springs is home to John Brown University, the corporate headquarters for Allens, Inc. and Simmons Foods, Inc., and plants for several industries. This town of more than 15,000 is an Arkansas Main Street Community with three National Register Historic Districts.
Highlights of Siloam Springs:
• Pioneering sagers and town-building gunters
• Civil war and reconstruction
• Siloam city from boom to bust
• Saved by the railroad
• The New Deal
• From World War II to the bypass
• Downtown versus the bypass
Don Warden has been director of the Siloam Springs Museum since 1991. In Images of America: Siloam Springs, he has drawn upon the museum's extensive collection of photographs and documents to illustrate the history of Siloam Springs.

Electric table fans are simple home appliances that use a motor to drive fan blades for circulating the air. Inside the plastic or metal housing is an electric motor connected to a fan propeller, wiring and a rheostat-type switch for turning the motor on and off, and adjusting the speed. Read on to troubleshoot a tabletop electric fan.
Things You'll Need
- Screwdriver
- Wire strippers
- Paper towels
- Glass or countertop cleaning solution
- Pliers
- Spray lubricant such as WD-40
- Superglue
- Dry paintbrush
Disconnect the electric fan from the wall outlet.
Remove the safety cover from the front of the fan by unscrewing the cover and removing the 4 to 6 Phillips head screws or by pulling open the metal clips that hold the front cover to the back. Metal clips swing upward from the edge of the safety cover.
Clean the front and back of the fan blades with paper towels dampened with window or countertop cleaner such as Windex or 409 to restore proper speed to the electric fan. Be sure to remove dust and dirt from the back of the blades and along the motor shaft, as this accounts for most problems with poor performance, including slow fan blades.
Troubleshoot a sluggish driveshaft by applying a few drops of WD-40 lubricant to the shaft and rotating the fan blades by hand.
Remove the motor housing from the back of the fan by extracting the screws that hold it in place.
Inspect the back of the motor to be sure the two electrical wires are secured firmly to the contacts on the motor.
Use a dry paint brush to remove accumulated dust and dirt from the motor, then add additional WD-40 to the drive shaft where it attaches to the front of the motor. The drive shaft should spin freely when turned by your fingers.
Check the oscillating pull knob (it makes the fan turn from side to side) on some models to make sure the knob engages and disengages the motor when it is pulled. Adjust the knob if necessary so the hook attaches to a clip on the motor. If the knob is broken, it may be possible to repair it with glue, although your best bet will probably be to live without the oscillating feature or replace the fan.
Reattach or tighten broken or loose motor wires by stripping 1/2-inch of insulation from the ends of the wires, then twisting the wire strands and wrapping them to the contacts.
Tighten the contact screws with the screwdriver and replace the motor housing.
Turn the fan upside down and remove the cover from the bottom of the base by extracting the four screws holding it in place.
Check the two wires that should be connected to the bottom of the fan switch and reattach if loose or broken.
Clean the metal switch contacts by scraping the surface with the tip of the screwdriver to remove any corrosion and create a better electrical connection.
Reassemble the base and attach the screws.

Walking in your underwear while concentrating on not falling would be nerve-wracking on any runway, let alone the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway, which the whole world will tune in to see when it airs Dec. 8. It's this very reason why Kendall Jenner asked her Kardashian sisters not to attend the show.
"I told them all to stay away," Kendall said in an interview with the New York Daily News backstage at the show. "It was too much pressure and I was like, 'Mom and Dad are good enough.' I just need the pressure off. There's enough pressure as it is." Kylie's boyfriend Tyga attended instead with Kendall's parents, prompting Kylie to explain her MIA status on Twitter.

Porter Pulled Pork Nachos with Sriracha Beer Cheese
Your winning Super Bowl dish is here: These pulled-pork nachos are spicy, rich and unbelievably tasty. Do yourself a favor and make the pulled pork the day before; allowing the meat to rest in braising liquid overnight helps infuse it with the broth and makes for quick prep time the next day, so you won't miss kickoff.
Pretzel-Crusted Beer Caramels
A little salty, a little sweet, you might want to make an extra batch of these luscious, Scotch ale-infused caramels to stash away for yourself.
Imperial Stout Hot Fudge Sauce
A big, boozy imperial stout makes this sauce simply decadent.
Smoky Bacon Jam
The smoke in this jam comes from a splash of rauchbier and chipotle peppers. Turn up the heat: It's best served warm with crostini, crackers or a wedge of your favorite cheese.
Glazed Cranberry-Orange Witbier Bread
Nothing says Christmas like cranberry, and nothing pairs better with cranberry than the flavors of orange, walnut and citrusy witbier in this holiday bread.

Whoever you need to "butter up" this holiday season will certainly appreciate this creamy, saison-infused spread on holiday rolls and breads.
Beer-Brined Rosemary Honey Chicken
A rich brown ale pulls double duty in this recipe as both a marinade and a sauce.
Grilled Corn and Pale Ale Fritters
When the sun shines and the grill comes out of hibernation, there are few simpler pleasures than cooking outside with a beer in hand.
Apricot Saison Mascarpone Tart With Belgian Ale Balsamic Glaze
A saison's lemony, spicy notes add levity to creamy mascarpone and tangy apricots; a drizzle of Belgian ale-infused balsamic glaze sends this picnic-perfect dessert over the top.
Beer Butter Popcorn
The smell of freshly popped kernels is reason enough to give this recipe a try. The "three-kernel" method of popping corn is foolproof and will leave you with no burnt and very few unpopped pieces. The secret: Use an already-warm pan to make a quick beer butter.
Sweet and Spicy Prosciutto-Wrapped Dates
These addictive hors d'oeuvres pack a one-two punch of sweetness and spice that perfectly complements a malty, fruity, lightly hopped bière de garde.
IPA Chili Hummus
Here's the secret to the creamiest homemade hummus: Chickpeas have a thin, translucent skin that gives the dip a slightly chunky texture, no matter how great your food processor is. Take a few minutes to pinch the skins, and discard those tiny menaces to create an ultracreamy dip.
Smoky Garlic Almonds
You'd be hard-pressed to find a snack as addictive, or as quick and easy, as these nuts.

Avocado toast is having a moment, and for good reason: Those delicious little green slices turn into a creamy spread in seconds.

Quick and easy to prepare—and fun to eat—this recipe is perfect for parties: Your guests can snack on the clams straight from the grill.
Grilled Corn with Basil-Bock Crema
This recipe makes more crema than you'll need for six ears of corn: Slather the extra on toasted baguette slices, BLT sandwiches or grilled chicken.
Grilled Lemon-Herb Radler Wings
Lemony and tart, this marinade adds a bright punch of avor to seafood, lamb and, of course, chicken.
Grilled NY Strip Steaks au Buttery Dubbel Jus
This jus is just as comfortable with a French dip or open-faced steak sandwich as it is with expensive cuts of beef; it also goes well with pork and lamb.

Kentucky Soccer Head Coach Ian Collins Press Conference Quotes
Sept. 14, 2009
Kentucky Head Men's Soccer Ian Collins
Opening Statement …
"Yeah, we are doing OK. We have a big game coming up Wednesday and hopefully we can get a big crowd out there. We averaged over 1,500 at home last weekend, which is great. We haven't lost for a long time, which is good. We have very high expectations this year and we were bitterly disappointed in the final results last season. We are not trying to make a point, but we are trying to make a point. We have a lot of experience and have four or five guys that will be good level professionals which is good at the college level. We are playing OK, we still have a long way to go but we are getting better. We played well on Friday night against the team that was in the final eight last year and with due respect to them we could have won quite easily. We will try to see if we can get better, that is what it is about, not being happy. Again, we are anticipating a big crowd Wednesday. I was very impressed in our crowd last weekend, the amount of people that showed on a Labor Day weekend was great. Hopefully this Wednesday, the students will show up and throw things, jump up and down and make noise."
Q: Can you talk about Matt Lodge?
"Yeah, this is an English kid that we got that is a freshman who is a terrific player. We have a lot of young players here. It is hard for a couple of them to break into the lineup. If there is two better freshmen in America, I would like to see them play. The kid already has two goals, one assist and is a great player. I don't use that word lightly, this kid is great. He has already created an identity for himself here, and scored two goals yesterday. He played about 170 minutes on the weekend in 85 degree weather, and he is English. If you put those things together it usually doesn't go so well. He is terrific. We have good players. Barry Rice is a first team All-American, Jason Griffiths is one of the best three players in our conference and will be a pro player some day. Dan Williams is great as well. Lodge is as good as any right now and we will see where he ends up."
Q: Did you see, giving his past that he would make an impact like he is?
A: "You hope. It is a big change in culture. England and America are similar in a lot of respects, but it is always a question whether a kid is going to adjust or not. There is no question that he is the real deal. He is a very bright kid, which in England it is uncommon that kids can do both. He wants an education and he has a chance to be a good level professional as well. You want to get kids that want to go to school and get into a different culture and experience different things. I have no doubt that at 22 years old, he is going back (to England) and will be playing for a lot of money. He is a good kid and very humble too. He has been embarrassed a bit by some of the national attention that the he has been getting. He is a blue collar kid that works hard. If anyone has seen him play already, you understand what I am talking about. He scored a free kick yesterday from 35 yards and just turned his back and walked off. He tried it again a little later but it didn't quite work. We have a similar kid named Cam Wilder from Atlanta, too. The kid is an engine and we are lucky to have good players."
Q: On how nice it is to have Barry Rice and Dan Williams back on defense when you start to prepare for the other team?
"I think that when you are a coach and you have good players it helps you game plan period. What Barry does is that he enables us to keep a high line and keep pressure on the other team. Our team presses relentlessly for 90 minutes. We play three strikers that work and do a lot of things. If you can't win balls at the back and don't have a dominate physical force than you have to spend time in your half. That doesn't fit our style so we put Barry in the back and we are good in the back in that regard. That is what we are built about. College soccer is about mistakes, if you can make less mistakes than the other team and force them into mistakes than you will do well. You can't compare college soccer to pro soccer in Europe. It is a whole different game. People want to compare both and it is not comparable. In our game, Barry and those guys on the back enable us to do what we want to do. If those guys have a bad day then we have to change some things quick."

Scorsese to oversee Cannes retrospective section
By Rebecca Leffler
PARIS (Hollywood Reporter) - Filmmaker and cinema historian Martin Scorsese will serve as honorary president of the sixth annual Cannes Classics sidebar at next month's Cannes Film Festival, organizers said Tuesday.
This year's retrospective lineup will feature the works of such familiar names as Jean-Luc Godard ("Pierrot le Fou"), Michelangelo Antonioni ("L'avventura"), Luchino Visconti ("Senso") and Jacques Tati ("Mr. Hulot's Holiday"), while Scorsese will personally present a restored version of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's 1948 feature "The Red Shoes."
Scorsese's nonprofit World Cinema Foundation will present three films: Edward Yang's "A Brighter Summer Day" (1991), Shadi Abdei Salam's "Al-Momia" (1969) and Emilio Gomez Muriel and Fred Zinnemann's "Redes" (1936).
Other special screenings include "To Hell and Back, Memories of Henri-Georges Clouzot," Serge Bromberg's recomposition of lost footage from Clouzot's mythical 1964 shoot of "L'Enfer"; and unseen footage from Ingmar Bergman home movies in "Images From the Playground," restored by Stig Bjorkman.
Cannes Classics also will celebrate Joseph Losey's 100th birthday with a Joseph Losey Centenary section complete with screenings of "Accident" (1967) and a new print of "Don Giovanni" (1979).

Moscow summons French ambassador over 'anti-Russian' Euro 2016
By Philip O'Connor and Jack Stubbs
LILLE/MOSCOW (Reuters) - Soccer rivalry and fan violence spilled into global politics as Moscow summoned the French ambassador over detentions of Russians at Euro 2016 and warned an "anti-Russian" mood could even damage relations between Russia and France.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused other countries' soccer fans of "absolutely provocative actions" at the tournament, such as trampling on the Russian flag.
The epicenter of soccer violence at Euro 2016 meanwhile moved from the south of France to the far north. Police used pepper spray and tear gas to disperse English fans on Wednesday near the station in the northern city of Lille, a police source said.
They intervened after fans starting running in all directions following a detonation of unknown origin, the source told Reuters. Earlier, police pushed away a group of English fans when they became "threatening".
Tense scenes continued throughout Wednesday evening. Police used tear gas again against a small crowd of rowdy England fans in central Lille.
Authorities had flooded the city with police ahead of the next matches for Russia and England in the soccer tournament.
Four Russian fans were arrested in Lille and were to be deported after being detained before Wednesday's game between Russia and Slovakia, which the Russians lost 2-1.
"Two of the Russians were arrested yesterday evening during a fight in Lille and two after being found drunk in a car with weapons," a spokesperson at the Lille prefecture said. The weapons were wooden sticks, a police source said. Continued...

Let The World Know You "Do Follow"By
Randa Clay has given us all a present today! She has created a series of very snappy badges for your blog to let the world know that if a reader leaves you a comment, you will return the favor with a followed link.
If you want to get in on the movement, here are the tools you will need:
Using WordPress? Use the Semilogic Do Follow Plugin OR
Using Blogger? Here are the Blogger Do Follow Instructions THEN
PS – The Essential Tools series will be back next week!
13 Comments
This is becoming quite a movement – it's great.
This is the greatest thing to happen to blogs since…the internet.
I mean seriously, think of all the free link love, and also the comments per blog will go wayyy up!
Thanks and keep up the good work!
Rinsem's Rink happily follows! Stop by for some link love today!
I think you made the right desision to follow the movement. I just found out that google is telling webmaster that they should include the nofollow in paid text links.
they can also report this too. I enjoy a good blog. but if I find they use nofollow I feel like it's a kick in the teeth. So I want you to know that I will contenue to read your blog and be coming back. I think this is what reader want in a blog.
Chew on That loves it!
We'll also use it with the upcoming launch of the new Recipe4Living.com this week!!
Thanks for getting the word out
En http://www.puntofape.com/ se apoya la eliminación de la etiqueta nofollow en los comentarios del blog.
This is such an amazing concept. I have been able to do a lot of great reading because of do-follows that would help me find sites that I would never had known about. I think this gives all of the blogging community a tighter connection. What have you seen so far from it?
The more I read about this, the more I'm convinced I have to change my template. I have a blog on the new blogger platform. The template I currently have is a custom template and I really like it, but I can't figure out how to take the "no follow" off. I think it may be because the code is not in English….
It's just soo time consuming to replace the template, especially when I have 14 other blogs and…7 kids.
That kind of info is really valuable. I´ll change my template right now to follow comments.
Thanks a lot and feel free to visit me any day to have some fun.
This is a really interesting concept.
I'm sure the search engines are going to eventually compensate for this strategy, but for now it's good.
This movement is catching fire day by day.
I don't really understand this do follow movement, half the people who proclaim themselves as supporters seem to no follow anyway. Is it all an elaborate marketing ruse?
Lbug – many of us on the list did follow but then the list started being used by spammers and others wanting to game the system and they many of us – myself included changed our minds.

Eagles Rise Trail is a 5.5 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Mantua, Utah that features a lake and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from March until November.
fly fishing
mountain biking
trail running
wild flowers
The Eagles Rise Trail is located east of Mantua Reservoir. It has a main loop with a couple of side trails one of which will take you to a viewpoint on top of Little Knoll overlooking Mantua Reservoir.
Hiked this trail with the Mantua Reservoir trail. Fairly easy. Beautiful view at the top of the knoll... But the bugs..... Oh the bugs! I literally thought I was in "The birds" movie but with bugs. It was AWFUL! Love the trail hate the bugs.
I have hiked and bike this trail. When I biked it I took the trail out to the little knoll. The trail can get a little rocky but it is a fun ride. The view from the top of the knoll is one of the best around. The trail is pretty exposed, so I would recommend a morning or afternoon trip on those hot days.

European stocks set for yearly gain after late rebound
* FTSEurofirst 300 up 0.3 pct, set for 3.9 pct yearly gain
* FTSE 100 only major European index to eye yearly fall
* Ballast Nedam surges on merger/acquisition approaches
By Francesco Canepa and Sudip Kar-Gupta
LONDON, Dec 31 (Reuters) - European shares edged higher on Wednesday, keeping most regional indexes on track to end a tumultuous year with modest gains after a late rebound.
The FTSEurofirst 300 index of pan-European shares, up 0.3 percent at 1115 GMT, was sitting on a 3.9 percent gain for the year.
The index has surged more than 7 percent since Dec. 16, with many investors buying on the premise that the European Central Bank will announce sovereign bond purchases early next year in a bid to revive inflation in the currency bloc.
A quantitative easing (QE) programme, the prospect of which has met with resistance from euro zone paymaster Germany, is seen by investors as boosting the attraction of equities by further lowering bond yields.
"Our take is that ECB QE will be announced in March," said SteppenWolf Capital chief investment officer Phoebus Theologites. "Despite the objections of the Germanic bloc, we view QE as unavoidable." Continuación...

And now.. drumroll please.. OrangeAttack's Pac Ten Preview. We begin, as always, at the bottom and work our way up.
|No. 10 Arizona Wildcats
Last year, one of my more memorable quotes was, "Bob Toledo, welcome to your farewell tour." Coach Mackovic, Toledo has kept the hot seat warm for you, go ahead and take a load off.. you're in it this year.
A player mutiny unparalleled in recent Pac 10 history still hangs like a fog over Tucson, and enigmatic but fabulously talented running back Clarence Farmer continues to voice his disapproval of the.. ahem.. er.. businesslike, shall we say?.. coach of the Wildcats. How Mack survived the offseason is absolutely beyond me, but I'd bet my Oregon State Rose Bowl tickets (oops, is that giving too much away from my #1 prediction?) that there is no frickin' way that Mack survives another season.
And this one is going to be rough for the Wildcats. I wonder if they're kicking themselves for firing Dick Tomey yet?
On offense, the Wildcats return 7 starters. We all know that Clarence Farmer is the star of this crew, and he's vowed to prove that he's the best running back in the Pac 10. I'd say that he's the only guy who can legitimately dispute Steven Jackson's claim of the title at this point – yes folks, he's that good. We all kind of forgot about him after the knee injury last season, but if he's healthy.. man watch out. Nic Costa appears slated to take over at QB, and though he's not big, the 5-10 Soph from Aloha, Oregon is blisteringly fast and very athletic. In another system under another coach, he could be a serious weapon, the way Tui was for UW. 4 of the 5 offensive line starters return from last year, but considering that this team finished dead last in the Pac 10 last year in rushing yards, I'm not entirely convinced that it's a good thing. Depth is thin so this unit will need to stay healthy or it won't be too pretty for the Wildcats.. again. At wide receiver, things look rather shaky. The news just got worse too.. Andrae Thurman, a fifth year senior and the Wildcat's best possible hope to replace Bobby Wade, is academically ineligble.
Let's get to the meat and potatoes of this thing and talk about the defense: In looking for a scapegoat, Mack dumped possibly one of the best DC's in the game, Larry MacDuff. MacDuff was the architect of Arizona's famed Double Flex Eagle defense, and also worked as the DC on some pretty darn good NFL defenses with the Giants. Considering the lack of support from the offense, the defense really wasn't too bad last year.. but don't tell that to Mack. Instead, the Wildcats will convert to a 3-4 base alignment and try to bring the pressure into the backfield from the outside.
The Cats return 6 starters from last year's squad, and the best of them is probably 6-2, 260 LB Joe Siofele. Siofele played an outside LB spot last year in the Flex Eagle, mostly serving the function of defensive end. One has to believe that he'll move to a Mike spot to take advantage of his size and sure tackling. A guy to watch is DL Brad Brittain, a Soph. He looks to have a good season in front of him. If Michael Jolivette returns healthy, this will be a big boost for the secondary. He has to be considered as one of the best CB's in the conference if he's 100%. You have to expect some growing pains defensively for the Cats as they adjust to an entirely new system and I think the 3-4 is going to have some trouble with good running teams this year.
Half the coaching staff has turned over, but maybe a little new blood will be a good thing.
Personally? I'll be watching UA for the train-wreck factor. Can't watch it…. Can't look away…. Can't watch it…. Can't look away…..
|No. 9 Stanford Cardinal
Aaaand.. competing for the prize of "who can go winless in the Pac 10 this year" will be (drumroll please) the Stanford Cardinal!
Save your applause for the end of the preview please.. Thank you. Don't forget to tip your waitress. And please take crying babies to the lobby.
Welcome to Buddyball part two. Is it a comedy or a horror flick? I can't quite tell. What is clear is that Buddy Teevens, while he may be a Steve Spurrier protégé, certainly is no Coach Superior. Looking back a year, I note that the Cardinal opted to hire Teevens over current head coach Mike Riley as Tyrone Willingham's successor.
Uh.. whoops.
Well, the good news is, Stanford fans won't have to suffer through 12 games of crappy football this year. Of course, that is because the Trees only play 11 games, but that's beside the point. This might be coach on the hot seat, part 2. Poor Teevens just can't catch much of a break though: the offense that was supposed to be pretty explosive last year just fizzled and struggled with injuries and the defense was returning just 2 starters.
Stanford returns just two starters on offense this year, 6-3 215 Sr Chris Lewis at QB and 6-7 315 Sr Kirk Chambers at OT. duck fans remember Lewis well, as he threw for a truckload of yards as the Cardinal handed Oregon their only loss of 2001 at Autzen Stadium, but opposing defenses also remember Lewis last year for his 9 INT to 5 TD ratio last year. He's coming off a torn rotator cuff and the word is that he looks pretty good. He'll have a decent target in speedy but diminuitive Luke Powell and will more than likely be cussing Teyo Johnson's name for leaving early for the NFL instead of staying and giving him a nice big clutch receiver. And Kwame Harris too, for that matter, as he's running for his life. If Lewis can't get it done, Kyle Matter should provide a very capable alternative. OA's advice to whoever ends up with the starting QB gig is to wear track shoes, because they won't be getting a lot of protection from a thin AND green offensive line this year. TE Brett Pierce returns after a knee injury and his replacement last year Alex Smith should see some time on the field again this year.
On the defensive side of the ball, Stanford returns 7 starters, probably still a year away from being a solid unit. Lots of underclassmen here, the only senior in the whole 2 deep is DE Louis Hobson. It really does look like they will be a nice solid unit in 04 and 05 with all the young guys they have.. but this year is still going to be a tough one. The secondary is filled with track stars that couldn't cover a receiver with a blanket and a stun gun last year. They return both corners, and with a year's seasoning they should return an improved unit. Watch sophomore linebacker Jeremy Craven—he's going to be a star in the next couple years. If Craven lives up to the billing, the LB's will be a very nice group next year. Without much help from the offense this year they will likely take a beating and give up a ton of yards and points.. but it will belie how good this unit could be.
2005 will give Teevens his first fair shot at what he can do.. well, if he lasts that long that is. Hope you're wearing your asbestos underwear, Buddy.. you might just be sitting in the hot seat.
|No. 8 California Golden Bears
I struggled with this one a little, I really did. I wanted to put Cal in the top two-thirds of the conference, I really did. I like second year coach Jeff Tedford and what he did with the Golden Bears last year was nothing short of amazing.. if there was a nominee for "most likely to prove that OA is a know-nothing windbag", it would be Cal. Especially after watching them fight tooth and nail with KSU last weekend.. though I didn't get to SEE any of the game due to it coinciding with my sister's wedding.
Tedford has really introduced Cal as a wildcard this year with the TEN JC transfers brought in, many of whom figure to play right away, and several of whom were very highly regarded by the recruiting gurus. In the end though, it's just too hard to ignore the staggering losses that Cal had to graduation -- just 8 starters total return -- and a brutal non-conference schedule that is sure to leave the boys from Berzerkely a little beat up and a lot beat down.
On offense Cal returns 6 starters, lead by running back Adimchinobe Echemandu. The 6-0 225 Sr doubles as a star sprinter on Cal's track team and if he stays healthy after missing most of 2002 with a knee injury, he has the potential to be a game-breaking type of back. Speed, size, moves, he's got it all. Cal returns a very solid fullback in Chris Mandarino as well. Mandarino, 6-1 230 So, is a competent receiver, good short yardage back, and a devastating blocker. Succeeding Kyle Boller will be highly acclaimed 6-1 190 Jr Reggie Robertson. First year starters typically have a tough year in the Pac 10, but Tedford has proven to be thus far a quarterback guru of sorts, and I expect Robertson to actually fare better than most 1st year starters. Keep an eye on WR Jonathan Makonnen this year, the 6-0 175 Sr should be Cal's go-to guy at wideout. The offensive line boasts 4 seniors and one junior, 3 of which are returning starters, and should actually be a pretty good unit, lead by the outstanding Senior Mark Wilson at Tackle. Wilson, 6-6 295, has started nearly every game of his college career, and is big, strong, athletic, and very quick. The offensive line last year allowed just 25 sacks, and this year should provide similar production. The key to Cal's success on offense will be Echemandu – Cal goes as AE goes. I fully expect Cal to put a lot of points on the board this year.. and give up plenty too, which brings us to……
…The defense. Cal returns just 2 starters on defense, which is always a scary proposition in the Pac 10. DT Lorenzo Alexander, a 6-3 295 Jr, and Rover Donnie McClesky, a 5-10 180 So, are the lone returnees. Some very, very good players have come through Cal in the last few years, and last year was no different. Tully Banta-Cain was one of the best pass rush defensive ends in the league, and Cal may have had the second best pair of CB's in the league as well last year. Jameel Powell and first round draft pick Nmandi Asomugha were arguably on par with Dennis Weathersby and Terrell Roberts. Both were big and athletic and thrived in the physical press coverage situations. Powell's absence hurts doubly as he was a game-breaking punt returner as well. Cal will need to improve their secondary performance over last year though. Despite having two stellar corners, the safety play was terrible, and this year's unit may actually improve with the speedy, big-hitting McClesky settling into Pac 10 play and the addition of possibly one of the best JuCo guys around in Fresno CC Matt Giordano. Giordano, a 6-0 190 Jr FS, notched 62 tackles and recovered 4 fumbles last year for Fresno City College, and will definitely push for a starting job before the year is out.
Cal is again, an enigma. Jeff Tedford brought in a ton of talented, blue-chip JC guys to help shore up the defense.. and you just never know how JCT's will work out. Will they be able to step right in and play, or will they require a year to acclimate to the speed of the Pac 10? Will Cal's running game be first rate, or will first year starter Reggie Robertson struggle and allow opposing DC's to stack the box and shut down Cal's offense altogether.
Last year nearly made Tedford out to be a miracle worker, and this year, if he pulls it off he'll be Jesus on the sidelines for Cal fans. My hunch and Pac 10 history says that he struggles… but watch JT in future years. He's going to make Cal a dangerous opponent over the next few years.
|No. 7 Oregon Ducks
Let's see.. last year I said "Ok duckfan.. let the screaming begin." And it did. I picked Oregon to finish #5 in the Pac and duck fans roundly criticized me for my prognostication.
Let's see here.. where DID Oregon finish, anyway? I can't remember. Was it 3-5 in Pac 10 play? That sounds about right to me.. I think that the overall record last year was 7-6, following the loss to perennial aerial powerhouse Wake Forest. Is that close?
Ok, ok. All good natured (or bad, take your pick) ribbing aside, I think that Oregon is going to have a tough go of it this year. Oregon has tons of potential, and (oh man, I know Gordo is going to put this in his sig line..) one of what I would consider to be the nation's elite coaches in Mike Bellotti, as far as X's and O's go. But as my dear old drunken pappy liked to say, "Son, you can't polish a turd." Excuse me while I go wash my hands and throw away my hanky.. Ok, I'm back.
Oregon returns 7 starters to the offense, four of them returning from a very good offensive line. Is it just me, or has Oregon had a pretty darn good offensive line for about 4-5 years running? Man, it must be nice. The offensive line, led by 6-5, 282 Sr Dan Weaver and 6-4, 284 Sr Joey Forster will not be a huge unit, but have proved to be very effective in pass blocking and should continue to prove so. There will need to be some improvement in run blocking but with 4 players returning, that shouldn't be an issue. The QB controversy still rages on, with 6-4 222 Sr Jason Fife and 6-2, 214 Soph Kellen Clemens battling it out. Some sources claim that the job is still Fifes, some say that KC will be the man. Time will tell. Oregon lost Onterrio Smith to the NFL, and LSU transfer Chris Vincent, a 6-1 218 Fr looks to fill the bill in yet another of Oregon's seemingly endless string of outstanding transfers at running back. The line is long.. McCullough, Droughns, Morris, Smith.. I keep waiting for the ducks to get a prep star at tailback, and they keep pulling in these transfers! At least Vincent will be around for 4 years, provided he doesn't follow his predecessor and jump early to the Big Show. Senior fullback Matt Floberg, 6-3 240, is a good one. The loss of WR Keith Allen, a 6-1 207 Jr, hurts a WR corps that was already thin. This is Sr Samie Parker's year to shine. The 5-11 177 pound Jr has world class speed and is a serious threat to take it to the house any time. If he develops better hands and runs better routes this year, he will take home some All-conference honors. In the end, the loss of Onterrio Smith, George Wrighster, Keenan Howry, and Jason Willis will prove to be a big loss and the Oregon offensive machine will finally slow a bit to rebuild.
Defensively, it's hard to know what to make of this group. Returning just 5 starters from an utterly horrible group last year, Oregon's secondary last year could only be described as woeful and thus, the defense as a whole stunk up the place. Worse, it just didn't appear to improve as the year rolled along, which is never a good sign for the upcoming year. A lot has been made of Oregon's dubious distinction for the 114th ranked pass defense last year, and for good reason. Oregon has brought in some JC transfers, including a kid that we have all heard a lot about, Rodney Woods, 5-10 180. Don't worry, duckfan.. I'm not going to take any cheapshots here, best to just let sleeping dogs lie. What I will point out is that Woods hasn't appeared to have risen beyond 3rd or 4th string, and that's a little troubling. Oregon's strong point is obviously at DT, where they have quite possibly the best pure DT in the nation in Haloti Ngata. Ngata, a 6-4 343 So, can only be described as a freak of nature. He's unbelievably athletic for his size, and has a great motor. A couple of Civil War replays at OA's house showed Ngata pursuing the play 30,35 yards downfield and never giving up. You gotta like that. Igor Olshansky, Ngata's partner, is equally imposing at 6-6, 315 and if he's full strength after the back surgery that kept him out of spring ball, these guys will be a two man wrecking crew. The loss of Roderkus Wright is a big one, as his presence would have undoubtedly secured Oregon the second best DL to USC. Instead, his absence leaves defensive end as a big question mark. Quinn Dorsey is a big, talented body at 6-4 270, and will likely be a name we hear a lot this fall, surprising some who will wonder why they didn't hear of him last year. That would be that he was suspended from the team for NCAA violations in regard to a rent scandal, FYI kids.
In the end, Oregon just has too many questions to answer, even with a talented,
brilliant coach like Mike Bellotti at the controls. With a road game in Mississippi
and Michigan at home, Oregon may even notch a losing season, and may provide
Oregon State with a good chance to break the Civil War home team deadlock dating
back to 1996, when the Ducks won at Parker Stadium in Corvallis.

Owner-employee Contracts – A New Way Of Creating Employee Ownership?
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has announced plans for a new way of creating employee ownership, involving a form of employment contract under which the employee will become an "owner-employee".
The principle behind this concept is that new owner-employees would be able to exchange some of their UK employment rights for employee share ownership rights, in the form of shares in the business for which they work. Any gains arising on a disposal of these employee shares will be free from capital gains tax.
This contract is aimed principally at fast growing small and medium sized companies that wish to create a flexible workforce. Companies of any size can adopt it, but it is likely to be less attractive to companies with an existing workforce. Some employees of established companies might wish to exchange employment rights for employee share ownership in this manner, but others might not, producing a result which is not best suited to encourage a strong team ethos.
Under the proposals, employees will be given between £2,000 and £50,000 of employee shares that are exempt from capital gains tax. In exchange, they will give up their UK rights on unfair dismissal, redundancy, and the right to request flexible working and time off for training, and will be required provide 16 weeks' notice of a firm date of return from maternity leave, instead of the usual 8 weeks.
Owner–employee status will be optional for existing employees, but both established companies and new start-ups can choose to offer only this new type of contract for new employees. Companies recruiting owner-employees will continue to have the option of including more generous employment conditions in the employment contract if they so wish and not offering employees ownership of their shares.
The Government proposes that there should be a consultation period to consider the details of the proposals. This will include the details of restrictions on forfeiture provisions to ensure that if an owner-employee leaves or is
dismissed, the company is not able simply to recover the employee's shares for nothing, but is able to buy them back at a reasonable price.
There is no reference in the announcement to the tax treatment of the original gift to the employee of shares. Unless that gift receives favourable treatment, there will be an up-front liability to income tax and National Insurance Contributions, which would make the proposal rather less attractive for employees. It could also increase tax revenues, as free shares for employees are generally taxed on their value when acquired, unless delivered through a Revenue-approved Share Incentive Plan (SIP).
The announcement makes it clear, however, that owner-employees receiving full capital gains tax relief on the shares awarded as part of their contract will still be eligible for existing employee share ownership schemes such as the Enterprise Management Incentive, approved share options, the SIP and other employee options and employee share ownership arrangements.
The Government intends that companies should be able to use the new type of contract from April 2013.
