By Tim Bourret // Athletic Communications
Oct. 3, 2015 is a date I will remember for a long time. I will remember it because it will be the only day of my sports information career that my alma mater, Notre Dame, came to Clemson for a football game, and I had the privilege to be the host football communications director. I was able to see many old friends from both universities, and it was a thrilling game that came down to the final seconds in a 24-22 Clemson victory.
But, I will also remember that day for some sad news I received just after the conclusion of the ESPN College GameDay program. Just after noon, I received a call from Woody McCorvey while standing under a dripping wet tree on Bowman Field. He informed me that former Clemson wide receiver Gary Cooper had died.
Woody and I had talked about bringing Gary to campus so he could serve as an honorary captain for a game. He had not been to a game at Clemson since 1991.
I have been at Clemson for 38 years, and I am often asked my opinion on various superlatives of Tiger history. If someone were to ask me who I believed was the most underrated football player since I have been at Clemson, Cooper would be at the top of the list.
If you browse the 2015 ACC football recordbook, you will find Cooper's name as the No. 4 entry on a significant chart. He holds that standing in ACC history for yards per reception (minimum of 70 catches) with a 20.2-yard figure thanks to 79 career receptions for 1,592 yards and 11 touchdowns.
"Gary Cooper had great height, strength and speed," explained McCorvey, now an associate athletic director in the Clemson football department who was Cooper's position coach from 1986-89.
"There is no doubt if he played at Clemson today, he would put up some incredible numbers. We were a team that was built on the run, but Gary could break a long play as a receiver or a runner."
In 1988, Cooper had a 61-yard receiving touchdown from Chip Davis on an end-around pass. He outran a Florida State secondary that included Deion Sanders. It was Clemson's top "trick play" in years, but it did not get the notoriety it deserved, because the Seminoles executed the "Puntrooskie" to perfection in the fourth quarter and won 24-21.
That was the story of Cooper's career. He never got the acclaim he deserved. For his career, Cooper averaged nine yards per carry. In 1988, he touched the ball 21 times and averaged 26 yards per play.
"Gary gave us an advantage because he played the Z wide-receiver position and had a size and speed advantage on the defensive backs who had to cover him," stated McCorvey. "When he caught the ball, he made something happen. He was like Sammy Watkins in that he attacked the football when he went to catch it."
After totaling 504 receiving yards as a senior in 1989, Cooper was drafted by the New Orleans Saints and was the last wide receiver cut before the 1990 season. He then went to Canada and played for the Montreal Machine of the World League of American Football.
After that season, he returned home to Georgia. On June 1, 1991, he received a phone call from the Kansas City Chiefs, who signed him as a free agent. The day before he was to leave for Kansas City, he was driving on wet pavement in Georgia and was involved in an automobile accident.
Cooper's injuries were significant, as he suffered traumatic brain injuries. He would never walk again.
After a long rehabilitation, Cooper attended a college in Pennsylvania near his hometown. He earned his degree in accounting, but the remaining years of his life were very difficult, as there were many complications as a result of the accident. The complications from a respiratory infection became too grave on the day the Tigers defeated Notre Dame at Memorial Stadium.
I tell Gary's story for two reasons. First, current student-athletes need to appreciate the time they have playing a game they love. Second, Tiger fans need to remember Gary Cooper and what he did for the Clemson football program in the 1980s.
He was a heck of a player.

Watching your kids grow and the inevitable slope of time
Dear Izzy, Max, and Kate,
A few years ago I remember sitting on the front porch on a warm spring day. I was feeling melancholy that day despite the weather change that normally brightens my spirits. For some reason I noticed my own hands that day. I didn't recognize them and I began to wonder how that could happen. The hands I saw were old, with distinct lines, wrinkles, and the general withered look of age replacing youth. In my mind I was still young. I was a triathlete. But that day my hands looked old and it made me sad to realize I didn't know who was anymore.
I've always been fond of the saying: "how old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?"
I'd prided myself on saying "oh, I'm still 18 at heart." After all, I was out racing climbing mountains on my bike, and doing things most aging people don't. I certainly wasn't old yet, but the signs were starting to show.
That was the day though that I realized that time moves on. Now I see the grey in my hair, the crows feet at my eyes, and the weight of each day in the mirror, even the good days. Sometimes I still feel young at heart. And sometimes I don't. I guess that's the difference for me.
All of this sad talk to say this: one of my favorite things to do is to watch you in the rear view mirror, Izzy. Saturday morning I drove you to gymnastics. Just me and you. I could hardly keep my eyes off you. You stared out of the back window with the wind from the open sun roof blowing in your hair. You squinted your eyes, wrinkled your nose, and I wondered what thoughts go through your head. I wondered if you dream about the ocean, our summers at Seabrook Island and Sea Grove Beach, or about places I've promised you in Europe. I love that you love words like your daddy and art like your mommy…and numbers "aren't your thing." I have no doubt that you're going to change the world and I can't wait to be there for you the whole way.
You're growing up. You're becoming beautiful instead of cute. And my heart feels proud when I see the sweet spirit you've always possessed matching the beauty you're growing into.
This makes it easier for me to see my own face and hands growing old. It really does.
8 years ago when I first saw you, I learned my purpose in life when I became a father. I love you, Izzy. Happy 8th birthday, baby. There are lots of adventures ahead of us and I can't wait to see the amazement they bring you.
It was mommy's birthday on Friday, but she wanted to celebrate your birthday instead. We had 10 of your friends spend the night. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I'm not sure I've ever heard as much squealing. Max and Kate, you two spent the night at Grandma and Grandfathers.
The party started with pizza and Xbox Kinect. (thanks again, Xbox) Then mommy had a couple of the local teenage girls come over and do hair and nails. Your friends loved it!
It was well past midnight when I finally had to get up and lay the law on going to sleep. Your friends were just too excited.
Saturday you went to a party for your friend Emma. Sunday Nana and Papaw and Grandma and Grandfather came to our house and we celebrated all over again. It was birthday weekend for you! We'll celebrate mommy next weekend.
It was a big training weekend for me.
Saturday I did a 12 mile progression run with each mile being faster than the previous. I think the first mile was around 9:20 and the 12th mile around 7:30.
Sunday morning I did 50 miles on the bike. I normally like to do my run the day after a ride, but because of our crazy weekend I had to reverse it this weekend. My legs weren't happy. The 50 miles hurt more than usual. I did take this interesting picture of the sunrise though:
I love you,
– Daddy
Wed: none (long work hours)
Thurs: none (long work hours)
Fri: none (long work hourse)
Sat: 12 mile progression run
Sun: 50 mile ride on the time trial bike

ZHANGJIAJIE, China — Tourists who suffer from vertigo need not apply. The world's highest and longest glass-bottomed bridge opened Saturday in China's spectacular Zhangjiajie mountains — the inspiration for American blockbuster Avatar.
Some 430 metres (1,400 feet) long and suspended 300 metres above the earth, the bridge spans the canyon between two mountain cliffs in Zhangjiajie park in China's central Hunan province.
Six metres wide and made of some 99 panels of clear glass, the bridge can carry up to 800 people at the same time, an official in Zhangjiajie — a popular tourist destination — told the Xinhua news agency.
Tourists can walk across the bridge, designed by Israeli architect Haim Dotan, and the more adventurous will be able to bungee jump or ride a zip line.
"I wanted to feel awe-inspired by this bridge. But I'm not afraid — it seems safe!" Wang Min, who was visiting the new structure with her husband and children, said.
Following an alarming glass bridge cracking incident at the Yuntai mountain in northern Henan in 2015, authorities in Zhangjiajie were eager to demonstrate the safety of the structure.
They organised a string of media events, including one where people were encouraged to try and smash the bridge's glass panels with a sledge hammer, and another where they drove a car across it.
"It's crowded today and a bit of a mess. But to be suspended 300 metres in the air, it's a unique experience," said Lin Chenglu, who had come to see the bridge with his colleagues.
Only 8,000 people each day will be allowed to cross the bridge, Xinhua said, and tourists will have to book their tickets a day in advance, at a cost of 138 yuan (US$20).
People wearing stilettos will be banned, it added.
Local authorities have said that one of the summits in Zhangjiajie Park inspired the floating mountain which appears in the American blockbuster Avatar. A Hollywood photographer visited the area in 2008, taking images which were used for the film, according to media reports.— AFP

[contains ad / werbung] People keep asking me how I prepare my oatmeal. So today I want to quickly share with you my basic recipe and my most favorite variations.
To be honest I never used to eat warm oatmeal. I always preferred overnight oats in a way and last summer I even went for raw oats ( I use these: Gekeimte, glutenfreie Bio Haferflocken *) They contain a hell lot of nutrients by the way. The regular oats we buy in stores get vaporized what makes them lose most of their nutritious potential but the thing is that oat contains more fat than other grains do and this fat makes them oats taste bitter after only a short time. Customers don't like bitter oats. You really need to use them up quickly.
Be that as it may, this autumn I discovered my love for cooked oatmeal. It's warm, it's satisfying, the perfect comfort food prepared in just a few minutes. Sometimes I eat it as my post workout meal, adding some hemp protein powder (absolutely optional) and on other days …I eat it twice a day 🙂 Basically you can never get sick of it. And if I, once in a while, want something more protein rich and "lighter" I'll go for my healthy Cookie Dough Pudding.
During the short time of my cooked oatmeal love story I tried out different things. For example mixing oats and buckwheat flakes. I definitively like that but I wouldn't recommend to have a higher ratio than 50% buckwheat flakes. I think otherwise your porridge will be too "watery". Oats just make this perfect consistency. In this context I have to admit though that I prefer cooking my oats with water only. On the one hand you save so much money because plant milk is pretty expensive and on the other hand I like to use as few "refined" products as possible. Just oats, water, banana, spices…
I don' use any additional sweetener except bananas and some protein powder from time to time but of course you can add more sweetness if you prefer.
My secret tip is to mix fine and rolled oats so that your oatmeal gets super sticky but you still have something to chew on 😀
Oh and if you feel super hungry and don't want to eat like one package of oats (I already tried this first hand. Won't recommend it tho. Thirsty as f*** ) always add zucchini.
serves 1
50 g rolled oats
40 g glutenfree fine oats
1 small ripe banana
1 tbsp psyllium husks
Variation 1 – Chocolate Oats
2 tbsp raw cocoa
1,5 tbsp chocolate protein powder
Variation 2 – Berrylicious
1 handful of frozen red berries
vanilla powder
Variation 3 – Nutrient Bomb for hungry moments
1/2 zucchini grated
1 tsp matcha powder
1 tsp spirulina
1 tsp vanilla
(I add matcha and spirulina at the end, after turning off the heat so that the substantial nutrients won't get destroyed by cooking)
Variation 4 – Turmeric Oatmeal
1-2 tsp turmeric latte spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp chia seeds
frozen berries (tip: place some extra berries at the bottom of your bowl and pour over the warm oatmeal. So good!)
cocoa nibs
nut butter
chia seeds
- Bring some water to boil. Add oats.
- Mash banana and add it together with the other ingredients. Stir while cooking on medium heat. Add water if needed.
- The oatmeal is done when you have a sticky porridge-like consistency
- Pour into a bowl and top with your favorites. I love to use chocolate and frozen berries that both melt on the warm oatmeal.
Please use the hastag #julisnomnoms and tag me @clean_body_in the picture if you try one of my recipes. I would love to see your recreations! ❤

None of us are bystanders when it comes to climate change. Whether we're aware of it or not, we're all caught up in the most pressing trouble of our age. Our great burning of fossil fuels is steadily turning the Earth's climate into something terrible. Once we realize this, the imperative for action becomes as clear and keen as a razor's edge.
Only a few weeks after severe rains inundated Louisiana, another powerful atmospheric bomb may be leveling its sights toward a broad region of Florida and the US Southeast. Rainfall amounts in excess of one foot are expected over portions of Florida as a tropical depression is expected to strengthen into a tropical storm as it churns in from a record-hot Gulf of Mexico. Coastal portions of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina may see 5-10 inches of rain over the coming few days. And long range…

How many of us are really aware of the difference between the perfect online profiles of our staff and their inward reality?
Whatever we do to improve employee engagement, we first need to understand if people have enough capacity to be 'engaged'. If people are struggling with anxiety and depression this will not be the case. When designing employee engagement programmes we need to put forward initiatives that motivate people, but we also need to focus on ways to reduce the blockers to engagement too. Depression and other mental health issues are among the things that will stand in the way of people being fully focused at work.
And to put the importance of mental wellness in perspective, depression is predicted to be the leading global illness by 2030. This isn't workplace wellness gone overboard, this is heading off the storm before it hits.
Do we take it for granted that everyone is doing fine?
You may have seen the recent social media campaign for an addiction charity highlighted the normality of everyday drinking in 'the perfect Instagram social life'. Louise Delage, a fake French Instagram account was set up by an Ad agency on behalf of addiction charity, Addict Aide. Pictured always with an alcoholic drink in hand, Louise attracted 65,000 followers in around a month following some careful placement of pictures with key media influencers. Did people notice the drink in every shot? Most did not, until all was revealed by the organisers.
Are we just as incapable of seeing beyond the façade when it comes to mental health? How many of us see past the chocolate box lifestyles of our employees to understand and support what is going on beneath? Addiction, anxiety, personal struggle is going on all around us.
Mental Health is more common than you think
A recent Business in the Community survey suggests that three quarters of the workforce in this country have experienced some form of poor mental health at some point in their lives. One in six, have suffered common mental health problems in the past week. Would any of us be able to say on any given day which of your team that applied to?
Despite the statistics, we still perpetuate the myth of the ideal as reality. To suffer from health issues of any kind, means we are less productive. When the symptoms are visible, people around us are more likely to be sympathetic and understand that we can't take on as much as we normally would. But to suffer from health issues that are invisible on the outside – but painfully evident from the inside – means we are more likely to be met with a pep talk on commitment than empathy and a reduced workload.
Setting expectations clearly can help people avoid excess stress
Stress is a major cause of increased anxiety, but is unlikely to be something we can get rid of in the workplace. Besides, one person's stress is another person's comfort zone. Too often though, we set implicit expectations for everyone, based on an employer or team manager's ability to cope with the demands of the job. If our people don't show the same resolve, they can quickly feel like they aren't making the grade, even if they aren't prepared to show it.
There are simple things we can do to help people enjoy better mental health
We are past the time when 'cheer up' is an appropriate response in the face of altered employee behaviour or evident mood swings. But luckily organisations like www.mind.org.uk and www.mentalhealth.org.uk offer a wealth of information for people who need to know more about the symptoms of anxiety and depression. As employers we have a responsibility to know the basics, and to know where to go for specialist help.
Encouraging people to adopt simple wellbeing improvements into their everyday lives is a great inoculation against the effects of stress, anxiety and the onset of depression. Things like taking time out to really 'talk' to people. Spending time outside. Being involved in activities like volunteering that give people a real sense of achievement. All of these things can reduce stress and help keep mental ill health at bay. Surely prevention has to be better than cure.

The new centre-right government is seeking the means to access money from state companies in order to boost public finances, according to Tuesday's edition of Hospodarské noviny. The paper says that there are presently some 8 billion crowns in profits on company accounts that could be put to good use and that over the next four years the government could access another ten billion from state companies such as Budějovický Budvar, the state forestry company Lesy ČR or the country's postal services. However accessing the funds would require a change of legislation.
Public Affairs, one of the three parties in government, has threatened to torpedo the finance minister's proposed austerity package at Wednesday's government meeting. Party leader Radek John, who heads the interior ministry, said the proposed measures placed an unfair burden on Public Affairs ministers who were expected to take the biggest cuts. The party leadership is set to debate the issue further on Tuesday evening. Public Affairs holds the interior, transport and education ministries. In an angry reaction to the public statement Prime Minister Nečas said all ministries were being asked to make cuts and any minister who couldn't shoulder the burden had no place in government.
President Vaclav Klaus has said he wants to meet individually with the ministers of the new centre-right government in the coming weeks in order to get better acquainted with their work in office. The president received the new prime minister, Petr Nečas, for a working lunch at Prague Castle on Tuesday. The discussion focussed primarily on the government's policy programme. The president has repeatedly stressed that he considers the government's primary task reigning in the country's excessive public finance deficit.
At a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday, Czech Foreign
Minister Karel Schwarzenberg said the time was not yet ripe for the EU to
reassess its policy towards Cuba in connection with the recent release of
political prisoners. Mr. Schwarzenberg said that although the move was a
sign of progress, Cuba was still far from functioning as a democracy.
Drawing a parallel to communist Czechoslovakia, the Czech foreign minister
said Cuba had moved from the hardline 1950s to the 1970s in its
development. He pointed out that in the 1970s the Czechoslovak communist
regime also had an interest in expelling dissidents from the country and
preventing them from returning. The EU has conditioned any dialogue with
Havana on an observance of human rights and some member states, such as
Spain, have suggested it may be time to revise its tough line.
The Czech Republic on Monday also supported an EU move to level tougher sanctions against Iran in a dispute over its nuclear programme. They include a block on oil and gas investment.
The city of Prague has said it wants to come to an amicable agreement with the city of Moravsk ý Krumlov over Alphonse Mucha's Slav epic. The two city halls are at odds over the fate of the precious art collection after Prague city hall attempted to get it moved to Prague's Veletržní Palác art gallery. However local authorities in Moravský Krumlov, where the Slav Epic has been housed for over half a century, have heeded a call from Mucha's heirs to bar anybody from handling it. The ban will remain in place until uncertainties surrounding a 1913 contract granting the city of Prague ownership of the art work have been cleared up. Alfonse Mucha donated the 20-painting collection to Prague on the condition that the authorities built a dedicated home for his late masterpiece, a condition that remains unfulfilled. On Sunday around 1,000 people demonstrated against it being moved from Moravský Krumlov, where it is the biggest tourist attraction.
Two of the eleven Czech scouts who were injured in an accident in Lithuania over the weekend remain in intensive care with serious chest injuries, the ctk news agency reports. Six others remain hospitalized with fractures and concussion. The accident happened on Sunday when a group of 15 Czech scouts cycling around the country took shelter in a derelict building in a rainstorm which collapsed on them. The police is investigating the accident with regard to possible negligence on the part of the house-owner as well as the scout-master who allowed the group to enter a building which was clearly uninhabitable.
President Václav Klaus on Tuesday appointed Iva Ritschelová head of the Czech Statistical Office. Ms Ritschelová formerly headed the Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem. The 36-year-old former university director specializes in environmental policies. The Czech Statistical Office had an acting director since its former head Jan Fischer left his post after being appointed head of the caretaker cabinet in May of last year.
Three youths have been fined 3,000 crowns each for pelting the former Civic Democrat leader Mirek Toplánek with eggs and insults at an election rally. The incident happened in the town of Hustopeče in August of last year and there was speculation at the time that the attack may have been commissioned by a rival party. The former Civic Democrat leader was hit by eggs and gravel which resulted in light facial injuries. He refused to break off the election tour. The judge issued a relatively small fine in view of the fact that there was no evidence the three youths had actually thrown gravel or stones at the politician.
Police are out in force for a Champions League preliminary round match between Sparta Prague and Lech Poznan at Prague's Letná stadium on Tuesday evening. Hundreds of Polish fans, among them notorious rowdies, have been arriving for the match in the course of the day. A police spokeswoman said the police had checked dozens of buses crossing the border, returning a number of fans without Ids who were suspected of having been extradited for causing trouble on previous occasions. Around three thousand Polish fans are expected to attend the match, gathering first on Prague's Old Town Square and making their way to the stadium on foot. A similar event last year ended in street clashes with the police after Polish rowdies attempted to force their way into the football grounds without tickets and vandalized public property after failing to gain admission.
A police officer is reported to have committed suicide at Prague's police headquarters. According to the daily Právo the officer, who worked for the fraud squad for three years, shot herself with her service weapon two weeks ago. According to a source close to the victim, the 29-year-old woman left a letter in which she said she was being mobbed and humiliated by her superiors. A spokeswoman told the daily that the police would look into the allegations but was unable to provide any further details at the moment.

Thank you notes from our residents
I want to express a heart felt thanks to the members of the Guilderland Fire Department who were there for me when my basement started filling with water. It was such a relief when the first fire truck showed up. Your members were able to get the water out of my basement and even worked quickly to help save our belongings before the water destroyed them.
Our elementary school families really enjoyed interacting with members of the Fort Hunter and Guilderland Fire Departments at Lynnwood's annual Ghouls & Goblins Fall Festival. Thank you for providing additional event lighting that evening. Our families loved learning about fire safety and the PASS technique using the fire extinguisher simulator.
Thank you Guilderland Fire Department for hosting our Cub Scout Tiger Den at your firehouse to talk about fire prevention and to give us a tour of your facility. Our favorite part was sitting in the different fire engines and trucks! We had a wonderful time learning about how fire departments serve our community and enjoyed meeting some of your volunteer members.

everroll® crosstile floor sheets
Product details
everroll® crosstile is a single-layer elastic tile, specifically designed for crossfit requirements. It is 30 mm or 43 mm thick and its robust composition ensures good dampening characteristics and excellent impact absorption properties. The tiles are quite "forgiving" to jumps and sprint training, supportive for crossfit "athletes" and offer a sufficient level of slip-resistance.
|Material composition
|PUR bonded rubber crumb moulded into tile format
|Standard thickness
|30 mm and 43 mm
|Dimensions of tile
|1,000 x 500 mm
including "appearance joint" for square design
|Force reduction
|everroll® crosstile offers an excellent force reduction rating, above the requirements for athletic surfacing:
approximately 50.4 %
The force reduction rating is expressed as a relative percentage (bare concrete slab = 0 % force reduction) of the force that is not reflected when applied to a resilient surface. The higher the force reduction rating, the more "forgiving" the surface.
|Impact resistance
|21 Nm
This impact resistance rating quite considerably exceeds the universally applicable minimum requirement for sports floorings of 8 Nm.
|Impact sound improvement rating (dLw)
|> 21 dB
Cross Fit

As a man buying tights for himself I am always looking for a product that fits well, is durable and comfortable. I discovered Philippe Matignon tights when visiting Spain where they are always stocked in the El Corte Inglés chain of department stores.
Philippe Matignon now have an online store and they kindly sent me a pair of Dorella 40 tights for review.
Materials and features
According to the packaging, these are '40 denier semi-opaque pantyhose'. They are made from 88% Polyamide, 9% Elastane and 3% Cotton.
The tights have a fully shaped leg and are sheer to waist. They have flat seams and a slightly reinforced toe.
The appearance is glossy but not excessively so. The fabric used is very high quality; soft but also strong and durable.These tights, like all those made by Philippe Matignon, will last and last.
Fit and sizing
The tights come in five sizes: 1, 2, 3, 4 and XL which has a rear panel.
I tested the XL size in Cognac, a warm tan colour.
The fit was superb: excellent length and a generous brief. I have worn these tights on three occasions now and was really impressed with how comfortable they are. The high Lycra content means that they cling well to the legs and hardly need any pulling up during the day. The gloss appearance also provides very good glide under trousers.
Colour range
These tights are available Cognac, Nero and Playa Nature.
Price and availability
These tights cost US$21.00 from the online store that now ships internationally.
Hosiery for Men has been offered a special discount code which I can share with you. To get an amazing 25% discount, use the code 'Press25' when purchasing through the Philippe Matignon online store.
I was very impressed with these tights and they met all of my requirements. They are perfect for cool days, when it is not so cold that one needs thicker opaque tights.

The Hatch Act
A Message from APWU
President Mark Dimondstein and Legislative & Political Director Judy Beard
No one likes their rights being infringed upon. The Hatch Act is a law that does exactly this to federal and postal employees. The Hatch Act directs what activities we can and cannot do during partisan elections.
The Hatch Act became law in 1939. There have been several legal challenges made on many of the Hatch Act restrictions concerning the 1st Amendment (free speech), 5th Amendment (due process), 9th Amendment (protection against invasion of the Bill of Rights). These losses in court have not stopped efforts to amend the Hatch Act.
Making changes in this law requires congressional action. We encourage every APWU member to exercise their rights to the fullest extent the law permits. Please review this document.
If you have any questions, you can contact the APWU Legislative Department at 202-842-4211 or the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, whose job is to enforce the Hatch Act, 202-254-3650. They also have additional information on their website here.

I decided the best way to introduce who I am and what I do would be to turn the tables and interview myself! I typically use these five quick questions to learn a little more about people in creative industries that I respect or whose work I am curious to know more about. Why not use that as a tool for my readers and potential clients to know more about me?
I am the Chief Life Curator of Creative Life Curator; a coach, speaker, and writer who encourages women to step into their power, identify their values, and create and work towards a vision for their lives that brings them joy and fulfillment. Want to know more? Here we go…
What is the most creative thing about what you do?
It's different every day…and I love that! I have one-on-one coaching clients that I work with, I write for TOPS Louisville magazine, I have workshops that I'm perfecting for small groups or companies, and I have personal projects in the works; a stage show, a coffee table book, and two other books. I am also actively working with a coach to develop my business, so there are assignments and weekly tasks to help me stretch and grow as a business owner. Invest in yourself and your growth yields exponential dividends.
When did you know that coaching and speaking were the right thing for you?
I think it's always been there, just under the surface, and I finally gave in! Over 20 years ago, after winning Miss Kentucky, I did a ton of traveling all over the state and spoke frequently. It came very naturally to me. I segued into broadcasting and radio. And then…life, responsibilities, and cross-country moves caused me to lose myself. I've freelanced for years while working other jobs that were basic 9 to 5's…but never found much fulfillment in those jobs. Sure, I could do a lot of things well…but did I really want to? This year, I decided that I would go all-in on myself and create the perfect "job" for me. It is evolving, but I'm driving that evolution…and that's very exciting!
What is the biggest misconception about your industry or creative endeavor?
That "creative types" are flakey or too "woo-woo". I'm very reliable and I have a strong work ethic. I believe in very pragmatic practices to achieve one's goals. I am influenced by Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins, Brooke Castillo, Julia Cameron, and Deepak Chopra…to name a few. I love to read and am constantly gleaning something of value from new authors and speakers…and implementing them into tools I use with my clients.
What is your greatest obstacle in trying to balance creativity and business?
Creativity IS my business. I won't have one without the other. There are parts of my work that I enjoy more than others…but I am learning and growing every day; trying new things, creating new experiences for myself, and doing the very work I ask my clients to do. I am my best example of what is possible. At some point, I'll out-source the tasks I'm not crazy about but when you are just getting started …you wear all the hats!
What's the next big CREATIVE thing for you or your business?
My coffee-table book! It's a project I began 3 years ago and it got moved to the back burner (as many projects do). I'm dusting it off and giving it an upgrade. It focuses on the lives of very different women and the roles we play; drawing attention to our similarities rather than our differences. At the end of the day, we all want the same things…food, shelter, and love. The visual imagery associated with each woman, along with excerpts from an interview, will reveal her truth in a way that inspires conversations and connects us. This project has inspired a one-woman-show I'm creating to elevate the experience. It's very personal to me and I hope that people enjoy it. I hope to partner with a charity to benefit from the proceeds…because the whole point of it is connectedness among women. It's not just about me.
I am currently accepting one-on-one clients and I would love the opportunity to chat with you about what that would look like. Your current circumstances are not set in stone. There are many things you can't control in this world…but your thoughts and feelings are not on that list. Let's get a grip on those…your perspective will change, and then you will move absolute mountains.
Lets's get started. Schedule a complimentary consult call today. Start changing things tomorrow. I can help.

Satellite Link Budget calculator
If you examine the satellite uplink coverage map you can determine the satellite uplink G/T for the contour line covering the uplink earth station site.
For example, at beam centre the uplink G/T might be +6 dBK. Let us assume our uplink site is on the -4 dB contour; the uplink G/T for us is then +2 dBK. Simply put the satellite uplink G/T, at the uplink site, (i.e. 2) into your link budget.
Typical beam edge satellite uplink G/T:
C band: Global -12 dBK, Hemi -9 dBK, Zone -7 dBK, Spot -5 dBK,
Ku band: Spot 0 to +4 dBK.
The number of dB down for the beam edge is a matter of opinion, it depends where you want to define the edge. Typically at about the -4/5 dB contour the beam is starting to drop off rapidly so there will be large variations in uplink G/T, the uplink sensitivity and downlink eirp as the satellite moves about slightly. The satellite attitude control points the antennas at the earth and it is difficult to maintain the pointing to an accuracy better than +/- 0.1 degrees.
If you have come from the general purpose link budget page, you can go back to it and not lose any figures you have inserted by clicking on the BACK button now.
If you are designing a satellite you may estimate the uplink G/T by considering the uplink antenna gain and the satellite receive system noise temperature. The uplink antenna gain is easy to calculate. The uplink system noise temperature is obviously related to the quality of the receive low noise input amplifier on the satellite, waveguides and antenna itself, but in the case of satellites where the up-link beam is pointed at the earth and the earth's surface occupies the full area of the beam then the thermal noise from the earth surface (clouds, land, ice and water) becomes a major factor. If the surface is all land foliage then the noise temperature contribution may be 300K. The sea has a lower value as it is reflective and the satellite is seeing a reflection of the cold deep space to some extent. A spacecraft whose beam is pointed substantially at cold space (such as an inter-satellite link or aimed at a distant planet etc) would have a negligible noise contribution from the background.
G/T = antenna gain - 10 log (system noise temperature ) dBK
Example: G/T = 30 - 10 log(350) = 30 - 25.4 = +4.6 dBK
Return to the general purpose satellite link budget calculator with the figures deleted.

I'm fascinated by the way that words sound; when you really think about the way they roll around the tongue and the head they can seem so 'right' for their meaning or so 'wrong'. I also wonder where they came from, I mean who decided that thing we sit on was going to be called a 'chair'. Every word had to be invented by someone at some time even if they do have a root in some long forgotten language.
With the Weekly Word I like to indulge this side of myself and would like to invite you to join me too in trying out the word I selected in a sentence. I'd also be happy to receive suggestions for future Weekly Words, so go on, what's your favourite word?
This weeks word is inspired by a comment from Joanna of http://www.lazuli-portals.com/ who said it was her favourite word of the moment.
So, I'd like to challenge you to find an unusual, imaginative or correct usage of the word TUMBLING in a single sentence or a paragraph.
This weeks word is TUMBLING, it is a noun pronounced 'tuhm-blinge'
Examples of the word TUMBLING
- She lost her footing and tumbled down the stairs and hit the floor with a sickening thump.
- The crows flew higher and higher and then tumbled in the air in an endless game of chicken.
Origins of the word Tumbling
It originally derives from the late Middle English tomblyng and is first known between 1375–1425
Why the Weekly Word?
The idea of the Weekly Word comes from Toastmasters International which is a speaking club I belong to. Each meeting we have a Grammarian Role and the purpose of the role is to try new words that stretch our vocabulary as well as to monitor and report back on people's use of language. If you'd like to find out more about Toastmasters groups in your area then you can visit their website at: http://www.toastmasters.org/

As server virtualization has exploded, the next piece of the puzzle is virtualizing desktops. In some of the first VMware implementations, users tried to virtualize small numbers of desktops for specific use cases. This process was difficult and had its problems. Also, if we go back to this time, the use of SSDs and flash within environments was small, if at all. 1GbE networking was becoming standard, and WiFi was in its infancy. There have been many updates, changes, and betterments to every type of technology.
In order for users to enjoy VDI, they must have the same or similar experience that is currently in use today. VDI from 10 years ago, 5 years ago, is completely different from today. Here are 5 reasons to move into VDI, and also, to be sure your VDI vendor provides:
1.) VDI Simplifies Administration
The beauty of VDI is simplified management. This comes in the form of centralized management, OS installation, and software patches and updates, all done out of the data center. There can be pooled users that always have a fresh instance when logging in, or there can be persistent users that have their own personal desktop just as a standard PC when logging in. This makes VDI great for call centers, libraries, and POS machines, yet featured enough to provide engineers, architects and other high end users with the power and functionality needed in their daily activities.
How often do power supplies and disk drives fail within PCs? How many times in order to fix a remote PC, POS machine, or laptop, has an administrator had to drive to the location, diagnose, repair, and drive back to the main campus. With a VDI environment using thin or zero clients, the MTBF of all the parts is dramatically reduced. Not only this, but in the event that a zero client fails, all that is needed to be done is to replace the zero client. This simply means connecting power, mouse, keyboard, network cables, and powering on. The user logs in with their credentials and they are back to work.
How many times has an office been closed due to flooding, ice or snow, power outages, or road/bridge repair work? How many workers have been stuck at home unable to make it to the office because of sickness, car trouble, or having to take a day off to wait for the cable guy? With VDI, the users can log in remotely using their laptops, or any type of BYOD, and keep business operations going from anywhere.
2.) VDI is Powerful
A user should not be able to feel a difference between a standard desktop and a VDI solution. Advances physically in graphics cards, networking, processors and storage have made it possible to run hundreds or thousands of VDI clients from a single location. If a mouse feels laggy, a system has higher latency, or screen resolution suffers, a user will notice. The physical attributes of the end user system must feel the same as the previous physical setup. There are many features that make VDI seamless, but an elegant implementation leads to user satisfaction.
Once a VDI solution is in place, the next step is to make sure there is a recovery plan in the event of site-wide disaster. How many PCs are currently backed up in the event something catastrophic would happen? What happens to local files when an end user's HDD fails? With VDI, even if the entire primary infrastructure can be ruined, yet with a backup and DR plan in place, an entire workforce can have access to their desktops in a matter of moments.
3.) VDI is Secure
Security is paramount to all businesses. With every PC connected to the network, employees with ill-intentions can and will cause disruptions to business continuity. Of course, the range of security breaches can start with a file copy to USB device, or a SQL injection bringing down servers and disrupting services. Of course, some security vulnerabilities will always remain, but removing some and placing hurdles in front of others goes a long way. If we look at a typical VDI environment, we see that some changes occur to user data, how it is accessed, and where it resides. Using thin or zero clients, USB control can be locked down. All the data exchanged within the server and clients happens over a secure channel and is encrypted. User's data resides within redundant servers instead of on hard drives of PCs or laptops. When a desktop is retired, security protocol has to be implemented, destroying the user's HDD by whatever means deemed necessary just in case some form of sensitive data remains.
4.) VDI is Efficient
Efficiency comes in many forms. The administrator of the VDI will become more efficient with the interface over time. The admin will also become more time efficient once everything is running, and daily focus can be spent elsewhere instead of break/fix PC repair. The energy consumption of an entire company will be reduced creating a greener organization. This power reduction comes from the implementation of thin or zero clients in place of PCs. Typical clients run around 5-10 watts while a traditional PC can utilize 4 times this amount. Thin clients also can be remotely shut down when business hours end, further reducing energy consumption. Efficiency also comes from the manufacturing process where the amount of natural resources required to build a PC differs dramatically from that of a single thin client. And finally, the end users will become more efficient as they will experience more uptime, more availability of applications, and be able to work both locally and remotely.
5. VDI defines ROI
Return on Investment (ROI) is the largest factor when looking into VDI. Moving to virtualized desktops creates a more energy efficient environment. By continuing to replace more and more desktops with thin clients, VDI reduces OPEX over time which is great for the IT admin maintaining budget. In addition to lower operating expenditures, IT admins will see a time commitment they used to devote to desktop issues fade away. No longer do they need to replace failed hard drives, complete system wide updates on individual desktops or diagnose support tickets from anywhere besides their own desks. All desktop issues can be resolved in the VDI interface by logging into a user's VM and identifying and eliminating the challenge. Whether the users are on site or at a remote location 1000 miles away, with VDI the IT admin is always ready to go.
The big picture is as follows, if it makes sense to install a centralized VDI infrastructure that provides more redundancy, better security, reduces total power consumption, enables network administrators to focus on tasks other than pc repair and software updates, allows users the ability to access their desktop from anywhere, and provides a pleasant experience for the end user, then it's time to look into VDI.

Daiwa Tackle Review and Flats Fishing
Hey guys, made a little video with a tackle review of some new Daiwa fishing equipment that I am using. The product is like nothing else I have used in the tackle industry. The gear is something that I can count on with my day to day charters. The gear is something I have confidence in when handing over to a customer. The video that I created also has some fishing in it. I am fishing for permit and bonefish with the gear I had just talked about. I also talk about the Skeeter SX240 that I am running. Great video to watch if you have time. It is lengthy. If you watch the video, there is a box on the top right corner of the video that has a link to a shorter video with JUST the fishing. Thanks for the views! Hope you like it. – Capt. Kyle Kelso

Product Details
This is just the tap unit for the Party Star Deluxe mini keg system. Sometimes things happen and you just need a replacement.
Additional Information
Customer ReviewsWrite a review
I bought this for a way to have a little beer on tap without the big set up. Works ok and kind of fun but you'll need to tinker with the CO2 setting as the keg draws down. You will also go through the cartridges fairly quickly so if it's used a lot may want to think about a real keg system. My best application is to bring a mini keg to a gathering and tap by gravity, if any beer is left then slap on this CO2 tapper.
Make sit easy to bring some home brew to a party without a lot of equipment._x000D_It needs to be cleaned regularly as it gets sticky, and it sometimes leaks. The price makes it worth it though.
Its a good system but sometimes leaks. I tap and pressurize for parties , expecting for all the beer to be consumed that day. It's not really good for long term storage under pressure.
These are good for bringing beer to a party. The tap needs to be thoroughly cleaned after every keg because it gets sticky and gummed up. Maintenance aside it's worked out well for me.
Mine has not had any problems with leaking. It does have to be cleaned a lot and it can be hard to get the handle to snap down all around. Its good for bringing some good home brew to events but a keg system is still better. Its a lot less expensive though.

An App To Help You Live More Sustainably
Most people can agree that living sustainably is, in both the long and short run, better for the Earth and the people who inhabit it. Most people can also agree that living sustainably is much easier said than done, which is why a new app called MilkCrate hopes to consolidate local, sustainable resources and businesses into one central hub that will help users live more sustainably, and do it with relative ease.
The idea is simple and super cool — the Philadelphia-based app creates a database that shows users which local businesses in the area exercise sustainable practices so that people can decrease their carbon footprints and support companies that share similar values. The idea is to make information about sustainability more accessible. As Morgan Berman, the founder of MilkCrate, explains in a video introducing her campaign:
"Turns out people want to live more sustainably, they just don't have the information. It's too spread out on too many different websites and resources, so we decided to bring it all to one place so people can access information about local sustainable businesses and resources, all in one place".
The project, currently seeking crowdfunding on Indiegogo, needs about $4,000 by October 23 to cover costs for building features like adding coupons and business pages, creating maps and result filters, and accessing neighborhood maps. And while MilkCrate currently focuses on Philadelphia, Berman hopes to someday share the service with cities all over the country.
It's an important campaign not only because it helps people reduce waste and generate cleaner, more efficient energy and ways of living, but it also brings consumers in touch with the people and businesses around them that play an integral part in their local economy. Plus, it fosters important relationships that ultimately lead to safer, more inclusive and eco-friendly communities.

nightmare -悪夢
shake -揺れる
earthquake - 地震
ceiling - 天井
roof - 屋上
pin - 押さえ
Last night, I had a nightmare. I dreamed I was in an old house with two of my friends. We were playing video games and listening to music. One of my friends went into the kitchen to get something for us to drink and then suddenly, the house started shaking. It was an earthquake. At first, I didn't worry because there are many earthquakes all the time. However, the shaking didn't stop and it got stronger. The walls started to move back and forth more and more until they fell down! I tried to run outside, but the ceiling fell on top of me and and I was pinned to the ground! It was so heavy on my back, but I was worried about my friends so I used all my strength to stand up and lift up the roof and rescue my friends. When I woke up, I checked the tv to see if there was a real earthquake while I was sleeping, but there wasn't. What a nightmare!
1. Why did my friend go into the kitchen?
2. What was I doing when the earthquake occurred?
3. Why didn't I run outside?
4. Who rescued us? How?
5. Did I worry?
How about you?
1. Have you ever had a bad earthquake experience?

So something's happened with my Aliant email account. I don't know how or why or what's even going on but somehow it seems like my password has been reset and now I can no longer log into my Aliant email online. They don't keep passwords on file, so the only way to fix it is to have them reset my account with a new password. Easy peasy, right? Except the only way to request that is to do so over the phone from the number connected to the email account ie. my apartment in town where I've not been living for two weeks. ARGH! So I haven't been able to check that account since Monday. Depending on how many big assed pictures or submissions that are coming through to that email instead of my BnM email, that account will go about 36 hours (give or take) before it fills and shit starts to bounce. Stuff might be bouncing now. I can't get to town until tomorrow. So, if you email and it bounces, you know why. If you email and you're expecting a response, now you know why I'm not answering. @#$% Aliant!
Comments from upstate New York!! Yay! That's exciting! Looks like the bikers will arrive back just in time for me to move to my Mom's house to stay with the dog while everyone goes camping. He's my dog, so I guess I can't really complain. Must get my fill of movies before I leave! Need to start PVRing like a mad woman, stay up all night glued to the screen before I return to no tv land.
Mood: angry at aliant
Drinking: coffee, black
Listening To: why are there so many big trucks on the road these days? is everyone trucking now?
Hair: still mike reno circa 1982

the latest Buy-to-Let Index from Your Move and Reeds Rains has reported that rents in England and Wales reached yet another record high in July, driven to £804 on the back of the fastest month-on-month price increase seen since 2009.
On a monthly basis, rents across England and Wales rose by 1.9% in July, up from £789 the previous month in the fastest monthly rise seen since records began in 2009.
Compared to July 2014, when the average rent in England and Wales stood at £753, tenants in July 2015 are paying 6.8% more – also the largest annual rise on record.
The firms said this record-breaking rise has been driven by higher rents in Yorkshire & the Humber as well consistently strong rises across southern regions.
Adrian Gill, director of estate agents Reeds Rains and Your Move, said: "Just when you think the rental market is accelerating at full throttle, it finds a way to shift into a higher gear. We're seeing rent rises manage to hit record-breaking speeds on both monthly and yearly timeframes as far back as our data can go.
"But rents are just a small part of the larger economic machine. The fact that they're purring along at higher-than-ever speeds is a sign that the rest of the economy is picking up. An engine can't use fuel it doesn't have. These rent rises are a reflection of heavier wage packets being fed back into economy now that the rust from the recession has been cleaned off the cogs.
"But just because a car can break speed limits doesn't mean it should. We're faced with a real problem – homes have become a scarce commodity. As house prices and mortgage deposits continue to eat up a larger and larger proportion of wages, appetite for rental properties has begun to outstrip the available stock. This has driven rents up even faster than house prices.
"A clear and concerted effort towards new-build properties is the most sensible way to address this issue. It boils down to supply and demand. However, it's not the only possible response. The government could also ensure that we're making the most efficient use of our small supply of homes – for instance by doing more to make it easier for people to downsize their properties when they want to."
Four of the 10 regions of England and Wales saw record rent peaks in July – London, Yorkshire & the Humber, and the East and West Midlands – while every region saw increases compared to last year.
Stronger than usual improvements in the West Midlands saw rents rise 3.6% over the 12 months to July 2015, bringing the average rent in the region up to £583. It's a similar story in the East Midlands, with a 2.5% annual increase carrying rents up to £584. Yorkshire & the Humber, by comparison, edged its way to a new record with a 2.0% year-on-year increase to £582 on average.
Rents grew 12.0% on an annual basis in the East of England, to stand at £838 in July. Though it's second only to London (+12.1%) in terms of the speed of the 12-month improvement, this is actually the first time in 15 months that the rate of year-on-year rent increases has not accelerated.
Only two regions saw falling rents on a monthly basis: a 0.1% month-on-month drop in Wales and the East of England. Though rents are at a peak, Yorkshire and the Humber saw a modest 0.3% monthly increase.
London took the lead with a 3.3% month-on-month rental increase. However, surprise surges came from the South East (+3.3%), The North West (+1.4%) and the North East (+1.3%), as the rental market in the north starts to build some of the momentum seen down south.
Gill said: "With the East showing accelerating rental growth for well over a year, the area has now paused to let off a little steam. It's interesting to see that the South East has jumped in to take up the slack, neck and neck with London jostling for pole position in monthly rent rises. It shows the effect that the high-density capital is having on the surrounding areas as people move further out in search of affordable homes.
"The Midlands, too, are starting to show some serious purpose as the workhorse of the East eases back. As investment in the Northern Powerhouse starts to mature, we're going to see more and more people looking for the flexibility offered by rental accommodation as they move in search of the jobs springing up outside of London – especially in high-growth areas like Yorkshire."
The gross yield on a typical rental property in England and Wales (before taking into account factors such as void periods) rose to 5.2% in July 2015, the first substantial increase seen since March. This compares to 5.1% in June 2015 and 5.0% in July 2014.
However, total annual returns fell in July. On average, landlords in England and Wales have seen returns of 8.7% over the year ending July 2015 – down significantly from 10.0% in June and 12.5% in the year ending July 2014.
This means that the average landlord in England and Wales has seen a return of £15,632 in absolute terms, before deductions such as maintenance and mortgage payments. Of this, the average capital gain contributed £7,188 while rental income made up £8,444 over the twelve months to July.
Gill said: "House price growth is easing back – and this has had an effect on total annual returns. However, rental yields are perking up to compensate. The mortgage market has stabilized after a post-election bounce, and the current political stability makes for clear sailing in the buy-to-let market despite the chronic housing shortage. With mortgage repayment rates so low and returns still remarkably enticing, there's rarely been a better time to get invest in rental properties."
Tenant arrears made up 8.4% of all rent payable in July 2015, down from 8.7% in June 2015 but still above 7.3% in July 2014.
Gill added: "July has seen us head back down the path towards greater financial security. It's true that any rise in arrears is a setback, but the greater trend is clearly towards tenants in better control of their finances.
"The question isn't if we're able to improve the proportion of rent that falls into arrears, but how quickly we can improve it."

In 2012, the adorable, foul-mouthed teddy bear, Ted (voiced by Seth MacFarlane), made his film debut and quickly became the highest-grossing original R-rated comedy of all time. Now, the outrageous Ted and his thunder buddy John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) are back in Ted 2, as Ted finds himself in a fight to be declared human, and not the property of someone else. In an attempt to sue the state and win Ted the rights that he deserves, they enlist a young, medical-marijuana aficionada named Samantha L. Jackson (Amanda Seyfried) who believes that Ted is entitled to the same freedoms as any American.
During a Skype roundtable with two other outlets, while writer/director Seth MacFarlane was in London to promote the film, he talked about not wanting to repeat the same movie twice, his great working relationship with Mark Wahlberg, how this particular story developed, why Mila Kunis (who was in the first film) didn't return, Tom Brady's cameo, recreating New York Comic-Con on a soundstage, making adjustments to Ted's dialogue in post-production, and the chances of a Ted 3.
Collider: Did you have any hesitation, going into a sequel?
SETH MacFARLANE: Only as far as that I didn't want to repeat the same movie twice. Purely selfishly, as somebody making the film, I didn't want to do something that would be an experience that would be un-engaging for me, or that would rehash the same material twice. When you're working 15-hour days, that's not something I would be game for. I wanted to work with these characters again, but ideally tell a whole new story.
How hard was it to convince Mark Wahlberg to return?
MacFARLANE: It wasn't too hard. We both had a great time with each other, the first time around, and we had a great working relationship. The two characters have really strong on screen chemistry, I think. So, it didn't seem to be that hard of a sell. And the second one was equally as smooth. He's a great guy to work with.
Did you set out wanting to tell this deeper story about Ted having to fight to be recognized as a human, just to have the same right as everyone else and not be considered someone else's property, or did that develop out of many other ideas you went through first, but decided not to go with, for whatever reason?
MacFARLANE: It was a merge, accidentally. The first draft was actually going to be John and Ted trucking a pot shipment across the country, but We're the Millers came out while we were writing it, and it was the same story, so we had to scrap it. When I was shooting A Million Ways to Die in the West, I was reading the John Jakes North and South series, in my spare time, and there was a section about Dred Scott, which jogged memories about my high school history class. I thought, "That might be something that could provide a germ of an idea for an interesting sequel," given the fact that the question of Ted's rights and his status would come up, if this were a real scenario.
Did you ever have any thoughts of bringing Mila Kunis back?
MacFARLANE: Initially, she was in the sequel. But when We're the Millers came out, we just had to throw everything out and start from scratch. The story that we wrote required this young lawyer character. I had just worked with Amanda [Seyfried] on the Western, and just had a great experience with her. She's really funny, really magnetic, and is just somebody you want to work with, every day. She's just a real team player and a fucking soldier.
You have a lot of cameos in this film. Was there anyone that you wanted, but couldn't get?
MacFARLANE: No. Amazingly, everyone we went to said yes.
In Tom Brady's scenes, there is a mention of Deflategate. Was that a line added after the fact, in ADR?
MacFARLANE: That was an ADR line. That all happened after we shot the movie.
Did you run that by Tom Brady first?
MacFARLANE: You know, I actually don't know. I didn't. Hopefully, somebody did. John, as a Boston character, is defending Tom, so I don't think it will be a problem.
When John and Ted are in Tom Brady's room, trying to get a sample, they lift up his sheets and there's a glow, which reminded me of the scene in Pulp Fiction. So, are Tom Brady's balls in Marsellus Wallace's briefcase?
MacFARLANE: You know, Frank Rich asked me the same question. I don't know. Who the fuck knows?
Is Liam Neeson playing his Taken character?
MacFARLANE: He's not, no. He's just playing a weird dude who believes that there's some shadowy organization somewhere that is monitoring this particular type of purchase.
You've been to Comic-Con many times, yourself. How did creating and going to Comic-Con for the movie compare to going in real life? Is it fun to wreak all kind of havoc without getting in trouble for any of it?
MacFARLANE: Yeah. It was interesting because Comic-Con was all on a soundstage and we treated it the same way they treat the actual Comic-Con. We called a lot of different vendors and studios and comic book companies and toy companies and said, "Just send us everything you have. We'll put it in the movie. It's free advertising for you, and we'll build a convincing set." But, that was fun. It was a massive soundstage. I've never really seen anything like it. Our production designer did a really nice job of duplicating that environment.
There are pop culture references and jokes throughout this film. Do you develop those with the script, or do you have them and try to plug them into scenes?
MacFARLANE: We don't shoehorn anything in. The only thing that's disconnected to the story is the opening sequence, and that's designed to be exactly what it is, which is a big, fun, splashy opening credits fantasy sequence that ideally tells the audience that it's going to bigger and more fun, from the get-go. You break the story first, and then you go into the specifics. When they get to New York, we need to establish Comic-Con and lay that thread in, so that when we show up later, it doesn't feel like it came out of nowhere. So, these Star Wars characters in costume, walking across the street and John, Samantha and Ted having an altercation with them fit that story requirement, for example.
With the first movie, you talked about reworking some of Ted's dialogue in post and after test screenings. Was there less of that, this time around, since you were more aware of what worked for this character and what didn't, or did you take the same liberty with the sequel?
MacFARLANE: It was about the same amount. Even if you know a character really well, there's no formula for what jokes will work and what won't. I asked Norman Lear about this, at one point. I said, "Does it ever get to a point where you can predict this and you find what that equation is, so that you know beforehand what joke is going to work and what doesn't?" And he said, "Absolutely not. You're guessing, all the time." All you can really do is gauge what you think is funny. If you throw it up in front of enough audiences and they laugh, as well, you've hit the mark. If you don't, you've gotta cut it.
How did you convince Mark Wahlberg to let a wall of sperm fall on him?
MacFARLANE: Mark is a game guy. He's a professional. If it's funny and it works in the story, he'll get on board. He's a trooper.
Are you already planning for Ted 3, or are you waiting to see how the audience responds to Ted 2?
MacFARLANE: It's all based on appetite. If Ted 2 does as well as the first one, it means people want to see more of these characters. If that happens, then there would likely be a Ted 3. The franchise, to me, is one that's more character-based than premise-based. If you look at it like episodes in television, if you have characters that people like and they want to see them, again and again, you can tell any number of different stories. If there's a desire for it, than yeah, we would do a Ted 3.
There's definitely been a lot of talk lately about extreme political correctness affecting comedy and the way comedians tell jokes. As someone who seems pretty fearless in his comedy, do you not worry about offending anyone in particular, as long as you are an equal opportunity offender?
MacFARLANE: I should be asking you guys this question. Most of the outrage comes from not the public, but from the media, the press and writers. Nobody sets out to offend or shock for the sake of shocking. You set out to get laughs. And comedy is not always pretty. I think Seinfeld made a valid complaint recently when he said things have gotten out of hand. But I don't think it's coming from the public, at large. I think there's a maelstrom that's being stirred up by the press who, in many cases, are screaming at people to be offended at things they otherwise would just take as jokes. I think there's been a little bit of a mis-characterization of the way the wind is blowing. I don't think that it's something that's coming directly from the public. I think if you asked an average person, "Were you offended by this joke in this comedy?," I'm trying to think if I've ever been offended by anything I've seen in a comedy, and I don't think I have. I'm offended by things like corporate pollution and animal cruelty. Those are things that offend me. There's a disconnect there. Is there anything in the movie that you found you would sit down and write that it's objectionable and offensive and shouldn't fit in comedy?
I didn't, no. I thought it was funny and laughed quite a bit.
MacFARLANE: Not to sound overblown, but if you use the scientific method and screen it for as many audiences as you can, and as many different kinds of audiences as you can, and in as many different places as you can, the results are inescapable. If there are certain jokes you like that are getting gasps of horror, they've gotta come out of the movie because you've crossed the line. If there are jokes that are getting big laughs, but that are potentially offensive, the audience has told you, collectively, that you're not crossing the line and it's actually okay.
Ted 2 opens in theaters on June 26th.

Bitcoin costs surged to the very best degree since August through the weekend, gaining $1,000 earlier than barely retreating. The favored cryptocurrency is seeing a stellar comeback this spring, with costs higher than doubling since December, when bitcoin was buying and selling only around $three,200 per token. Bitcoin hit an excessive of $7,448 on Sunday after closing at $6,438 on Friday, which is a acquire of greater than $1,000 over the weekend.

Hi everybody, it's Sarah, your favorite About Flags blogger.
July 4th is nationally recognized as Independence Day, the birth of the United States of America. But there are two other integral holidays that are often overlooked close to the same time as The 4th: Flag Day and the birthday of the United States Army.
Both are celebrated on June 14th. This is when the flag of the United States was adopted in 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. Also on this day in 1775, Congress adopted "the American continental army" after reaching a general agreement in The Committee of the Whole.
During the week of June 14th, President Obama will urge each and every citizen to fly their American flag with pride. All government buildings will have the flag on display. Let your patriotism abound! 'Merica!
