Claiborne Swanson Frank, a former assistant to Vogue's Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour turned in-demand photographer – she even acts as a contributor at Vogue, is looking forward to the new year.
Her first coffee table book, American Beauty (published by Assouline), which features 100 portraits of American women in the world of art, fashion, music, film and interior design, is due out in Spring 2012. In the meantime, she's excited about the holidays…
Clairborne's self-portrait. "This was taken on the banks of a lake in Napa Valley – I'm in my favourite rag & bone army jacket."
Thanksgiving will be spent… in Napa Valley. (Claiborne's family owns Swanson Vineyards, below).
At Thanksgiving, I love… spending time with my family and sitting around the fire in our house. I love the spirit of gratitude, seeing the vineyard's leaves in shades of red and orange and the sweet potatoes my mom makes.
This Christmas… my husband (James) and I will join my family in a little beach town called Naples in Florida. I was born there and we have kept a small beach house there.
At Christmas, I love… palm trees, white jeans (right, rag & bone's skinny bright white) and Christmas carols.
The best gift I've ever received… are my grandmother's gold charm bracelets.
My favourite Christmas movie is… Love Actually (below).

Pittsburgh Steelers
Ben Roethlisberger - #7 - QB
|6' 5"/ 241 lbs.
|Lima, OH
|Miami (OH)
|Years played
|2004, 1st round, 11th pick by Steelers
Dolphins land WR Wallace
The worst-kept secret during free agency, that the Dolphins were hot on the trail of WR Mike Wallace, came to fruition at the open of free agency.
Steelers part ways with OLB Harrison
The Steelers released four-time All-Pro and 2008 PFW/PFWA defensive player of the year James Harrison, the team announced Saturday.
Pittsburgh Steelers: 2013 team needs
We highlight the top three needs on offense and defense for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and take a look back at their 2012 draft class.
Steelers sign CB Gay
The Steelers brought back CB William Gay on Monday, the team announced.
Steelers restructure Roethlisberger's contract
The Steelers and QB Ben Roethlisberger agreed to a restructured contract on Thursday, Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette first reported.
Steelers hire Bicknell Jr. as O-line coach
The Steelers hired Jack Bicknell Jr. as their new offensive line coach, the team announced Tuesday.
Steelers' backfield could be blown up
After producing the fewest rushing yards in the past nine seasons, the Steelers' backfield could look dramatically different in 2013, the way we hear it.
Steelers waive RB Rainey
Following his Thursday morning arrest, RB Chris Rainey was waived by the Steelers.
Steelers give Cardinals permission to interview Haley
The Steelers confirmed that they have given the Cardinals permission to interview offensive coordinator Todd Haley for their vacant head-coaching position.
AFC North Spin cycle: Ravens rest, Browns start anew
The Ravens and Bengals are playoff-bound — and pretty well-rested, all things considered. The Browns? They're making big changes.
Roethlisberger throws three TDs in Steelers win
Ben Roethlisberger threw three short touchdown passes, and the Steelers avoided their first losing season in nearly a decade with a 24-10 victory over the Browns.
Steelers place WR Wallace on injured reserve
The Steelers placed WR Mike Wallace on injured reserve on Saturday.
Steelers' Allen could have bright future
Steelers CB Cortez Allen has shown promise in his second NFL season.
Steelers place Miller, Taylor, Batch on I.R.
The Steelers placed TE Heath Miller, CB Ike Taylor and RB Baron Batch on injured reserve on Wednesday.
Steelers TE Miller tears ACL
Steelers TE Heath Miller tore his ACL in Sunday's loss to the Bengals and will require surgery. He also injured his MCL, and possibly his PCL.
Roethlisberger wrapped up the season with three touchdown passes in a 24-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.||||||| He was 15 of 23 passing for 134 yards. Roethlisberger had 26 touchdowns and just eight interceptions on the season.
Roethlisberger has apologized to offensive coordinator Todd Haley for his comments following a 27-24 overtime loss to Dallas last Sunday.||||||| Roethlisberger took Haley to task over the team's inability to feature tight end Heath Miller in the second half and wondered why the Steelers didn't stay in the no-huddle offense. The quarterback says he was frustrated after Pittsburgh (7-7) lost for the fourth time in five games and that he was unable to keep his emotions under control. Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Roethlisberger and Haley were on the same page.
Roethlisberger had 339 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against Dallas but was sacked four times and threw a key interception in overtime during a 27-24 loss to Dallas.||||||| The performance came in Roethlisberger's second game back from a shoulder injury. He had 285 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in a loss to San Diego on Dec. 9. After losing four of five, the Steelers (7-7) trail AFC North rival Cincinnati by a game for the second wild card spot. They host the Bengals next week.
Roethlisberger went 22 of 42 for three touchdowns and an interception against the Chargers on Sunday.||||||| It was Roethlisberger's first game after missing three weeks due to injury.
Though the Steelers confirmed Roethlisberger will return to the starting lineup on Sunday against San Diego after missing three weeks due to injury, Roethlisberger will take the field with a little extra protection. Roethlisberger will play with a custom-fit rib/chest compression shirt and a layer of Kevlar-lined composite in his shoulder pads to help absorb hits to his clavicle and shoulder joint regions.||||||| The padding, made by Unequal Technologies, has grown popular across the NFL. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick wore a similar compression shirt after injuring his ribs a few years ago and dozens of players - including Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu and linebacker James Harrison - use Unequal CRT in their helmets.

The 2012 Winter Hike was a smashing success! The hike, Loop D in the Withlacoochee State Forest Citrus Tract, was filled with numerous highlights. Cool and sunny weather (morning lows below freezing on both Saturday and Sunday), a great campsite hosted by Mr. Davis and his Sous-Chefs, much-appreciated campfires, food, and fun. There was even some caves to explore on Sunday. A small group of scouts hiked an additional two miles on day one so they could get credit for 10 miles towards their Hiking Merit Badge. Another group of five older scouts – headed to Philmont in late June – racked up an impressive 11.5 miles on day two in preparation for their upcoming trek in New Mexico's backcountry.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Polyfill collision issue
Ive been using ie-7.js for a long time now but is it correct that it has been somewhat replaced by html5shim which itself has been somewhat replaced by Modernizr? I had been under the impression that Modernizr simply checks to see if a certain feature exists in a particular UA and then the developer could do or not do different things depending on the presence or absence of a particular feature. But if does all that PLUS helps older browsers recognize newer elements then apparently I can remove the html5shim. But I think ie-7.js is the only polyfill to help older browsers recognize newer CSS. Is that correct? Seeking clarification

Modernizr contains the html5shim. It may not contain all things ie-7.js has. ie-7.js makes transparent PNG work correctly, for instance. I would use both. Here's the link to ie-7.js: http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/

CBS 5 News is highlighting different places to go this summer to escape the heat of the Valley, and this "elevation vacation" might be perfect for the entire family.
Sedona's Rainbow Trout Farm is located in Oak Creek Canyon, just outside of the town Sedona.
"When you're coming up the Canyon, as soon as you hit a certain spot, you can feel it cool down. You're talking about 5 to 10 degrees difference sometimes," said Christopher Rose from Sedona's Rainbow Trout Farm.
It's a fun place to catch fish, but you do not need to be an expert fisherman to have great luck.
The pond is stocked with rainbow trout. The fish trout are hatched and raised in a small hatchery in back of the pond.
Kids can expect to catch a fish within minutes, which can make the experience exciting for young children.
"I like to see the fish around and I like to feed them and catch a lot of them," said Isabel Ornelas, a very young angler.
For one dollar, the trout farm provides visitors with a fishing pole, bucket and bait. Visitors pay for each fish they catch, and there is no catch and release.
The farm has 14 grills where people can cook their fish. If they don't want to clean their fish, employees can do it for them for 50 cents each.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. and wide receiver Quincy Enunwa combined for record-setting performances and the Cornhuskers forced Georgia to turn the ball over on downs on two late trips inside the red zone in the last six minutes of their 24-19 victory on Wednesday in the 69th Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl at EverBank Field. Armstrong threw a 99-yard touchdown pass to Enunwa in the third quarter to give Nebraska (9-4) a 24-12 lead. Georgia (8-5) cut the lead to five points on a 25-yard scoring pass from Hutson Mason to Todd Gurley but got no closer after coming up empty on its final two possessions. The Bulldogs reached the Nebraska 22-yard line in a 48-yard pass from Mason to Michael Bennett but lost the ball on downs when Huskers safety Andrew Green jarred a pass loose from Georgia's Rantavious Wooten. Georgia forced a punt and moved to the Nebraska 23. But the Bulldogs stalled again and tight end Arthur Lynch dropped a pass on fourth-and-3 from the Huskers' 16 with 31 seconds left that would have been good for a first down. Armstrong completed only 6-of-14 passes, but two of those were to Enunwa, who broke Johnny Rodgers' 1971 record of 11 touchdown receptions with the 99-yard collaboration. It was the longest pass play in Nebraska history and the longest touchdown play of any kind in Gator Bowl history. Enunwa caught four passes for 129 yards and Big Ten rushing leader Ameer Abdullah gained 122 yards on 27 carries. Mason completed 21-of-39 passes for 320 yards in his second career start for Georgia and connected with Gurley seven times for 97 yards. Gurley added 86 yards rushing on 21 carries. A rare Gator Bowl game played in the rain resulted in sloppy going in the first half for both teams, with a scoreless first quarter and a second quarter dominated by special-teams plays. Georgia kicker Marshall Morgan got the first points on the board with a 38-yard field goal, but it was a bitter consolation prize. Mason, making his second career start, was chased out of the pocket on a third-and-2 from the Nebraska 10 and was then called for intentional grounding. The Bulldogs forced Nebraska to punt on the next possession, but returner Reggie Davis fumbled after calling for a fair catch and the Cornhuskers' Josh Mitchell recovered at the Georgia 14. After a 9-yard gain by Abdullah, Armstrong Jr. lobbed a 5-yard touchdown pass to Enunwa to give the Huskers a 7-3 lead. Georgia came up with a special-teams play of its own as J.J. Green returned the kickoff 48 yards to the Bulldogs' 48. After Mason completed a 37-yard pass to Brendon Douglas to the Nebraska 15, the drive stalled when Mason misfired on two passes and Morgan came in to kick a 28-yard field goal. The teams then swapped field goals on the final two possessions of the half. Pat Smith kicked a season-best 46-yard field goal for the Huskers and Morgan drilled a 38-yarder as time expired to cut Nebraska's lead to 10-9. NOTES: Nebraska WR Quincy Enunwa's 99-yard touchdown catch from QB Tommy Armstrong broke two records that were set in 1965 -- the Gator Bowl mark for longest touchdown pass by Oklahoma's Ronnie Fletcher to Ben Hart in a 36-19 loss to Florida State and the Nebraska record for longest pass play, which was a 95-yard pass from Fred Duda to Freeman White on Oct. 23, 1965, against Colorado. For good measure, Enunwa and Armstrong combined for the longest scoring play in Gator Bowl history, topping Greg Allen's 95-yard kickoff return for Florida State in a 31-12 victory over West Virginia in 1982. ... Georgia K Marshall Morgan's four field goals gave him seven in a row at EverBank Field and eight of nine in three games in Jacksonville. He was 3 of 3 against Florida on Nov. 2 against Florida and made 1 of 2 in 2012 against the Gators. ... The steady rain that began 30 minutes before kickoff marked the first time since the 1996 Gator Bowl between Syracuse and Clemson that it had rained during the game.

The Goshen High School football team made local history on a cold-and-windy November 1978 Friday evening at Warren Central High School in Indianapolis.
The Redskins defeated the Brownsburg Bulldogs, 9-0, to win the Class AA state championship, the first state football or basketball title won by an Elkhart County school.
"It was such a special event for the community," team member Jim Evans said. "The football playoffs were relatively new."
Ken Mirer coached the Redskins to a 9-1 regular season record and to three straight playoffs wins.
"Bringing the state championship home to GHS and the community was very special," Mirer said.
It was quite a turn around for a program Mirer had taken over five years before. His first team went 1-8 before going 7-3 the next season.
"That group of kids turned it around," the coach said. "They set the stage for the younger kids."
Another member of the 1978 team Steve Swihart said, "We created some great memories that season. The championship was something nice to hang our hat on. It demonstrated it could be done."
Mirer guided the Redskins back to the state finals in 1981 this time finishing as the AA runner-up following a 34-20 loss to Franklin Central.
Goshen's second state championship was in 1998 when the Rick Mirer-led Redskins handed Franklin Central a 24-10 loss, capping a 14-0 season.
The Redskins had another runner-up finish in 1999 when Brad Park took Goshen to the 4A title game before suffering a 24-21 loss to Indianapolis Cathedral.
The NorthWood girls basketball team became the first Elkhart county program to win a state basketball title in 1999. Seniors Natalie Will and Amy Zercher sparked the Black Swish to a 72-71 victory over the previously unbeaten Indianapolis Cathedral Fighting Irish at the old Market Square Arena in Indianapolis. Will swished the first of two free throws with 5.6 seconds remaining to give her team the one-point lead. A last-second shot by Cathedral sophomore Asjah Zimmerman rattled in and then fell out as time expired.
"It was the longest 4.4 seconds I've ever sat through," NorthWood coach Steve Neff said in the post-game press conference. "I've never felt so much heartache and joy in one moment," Zercher said after the contest. "I was on the other end a few years ago (1997) and I did not want to go back there. You can't describe it (the championship). It's what you dream about and it's truly a dream come true."
Will poured in 24 points to lead the team. Zercher added 17, Kasey Chamberlin 13, Carol Duncan 10 and Angela Callander eight.
NorthWood's first appearance in the state finals was in 1997, the final year of the single-class tournament. The Black Swish finished 25-1 after suffering a 58-42 loss to Crown Point in a semifinal game.
In the 2003-04 boys basketball season, the Jimtown Jimmies coached by Randy DeShone became the first Elkhart County boys team to win a state championship. The Jimmies (25-2) topped Garrett 57-45 in the semifinals and Brownstone Central 63-59 in the 2A finale.
The Westview Warriors made history of their own as the first team to win back-to-back state titles in the four-class system. The Warriors coached by Troy Neely defeated Paoli 71-52 in the 1999 championship and returned in 2000 to edge Winchester Community 59-53. Among the key players on both squads were Adam Bontrager, Mark Miller, Jeff Nelson, Derek Yoder, Eric Yoder and Jason Yoder.
NorthWood, led by freshman quarterback Skyler Titus, captured the 3A state football title in 2005 with a 7-0 win over Indianapolis Chatard. The only score was a pass from Titus to Brant Ehert and a PAT by Ryan Burkhart. Rich Dodson was the Panther coach. The team entered the playoffs with a 3-6 record before winning six consecutive playoff games.
NorthWood also has 3A runner-up finishes in 1986, 1993, 1998 and 2003.
The Concord Minuteman have runner-up finishes in football in 1984 (AAA), 1998 (4A) and 2006 (4A). The Wawasee Warriors have second-place finishes in 1985 (3A) and 2004 (4A). Jimtown has been one of the more successful area programs with state titles in 1991 (1A), 1997 (2A), 1998 (2A) and 2005 (2A) plus runner-up finishes in 1985 (1A) and 1987 (1A).
Concord has a pair of runner-up finishes in boys basketball. The Minutemen (28-1) lost to Muncie Central 76-53 in the 1988 championship and to Bedford North Lawrence 63-60 in the 1990 finale. Both teams were coached by Jim Hahn.
The Elkhart Central Blue Blazers advanced to the state finals in 1978 (89-85 semifinal loss to Muncie Central), 1995 (62-49 semifinal loss to Merrillville) and 1999 (79-74 championship loss to North Central).
Back in the days when Elkhart had one high school, the Blazers made the state finals in 1954 (59-50 semifinal loss to Muncie Central), 1956 (54-52 semifinal loss to Lafayette Jefferson) and 1971 (70-60 championship loss to East Chicago Washington).
In girls basketball, Wawasee has advanced to the state finals twice and Westview once. Wawasee defeated Austin 56-54 in the semifinals and lost to Crown Point 48-31 in the finals in 1985 and lost to Indianapolis Brebeuf 51-43 in the 3A state championship in 2007. Westview dropped a 46-34 decision to Heritage Christian in the 2A state championship in 2006.
Northridge won a girls state softball title in 1998. Dave Willig was the coach as the Raiders topped New Albany 8-6 in the finale.

What's wrong with business coaching, consulting and executive services for "dead" professionals
People often ask you what you do!
When you answer that question, do you describe your products and services? Or do you communicate the benefits your clients receive?
For example, at Empowerment Holdings we could say:
We offer business coaching, consulting and executive services for "dead" professionals!
Sounds good, but you're probably going: What does that have to do with me, my problems, my wants and needs?
And you're right.
If instead we'd say:
"We're able to help you overcome your fears. Period. We alleviate your professional frustrations, dissatisfaction and inability to move beyond your current, uncomfortable situation. We wake you up from the "dead". WE WAKE YOU UP. We help you achieve breakthroughs in personal leadership and professional development."
You'd listen because you'd know what you could get out of your relationship with us.
A leader that possesses the ability to walk in their client's shoes for a while, who can get a sense of what life is really like for someone they'd like to do business with, will eventually become an ally and trusted friend. And people love to do business with friends, we do too.
Be a good leader and become a real friend. Take some time today and think about what people really want and need from you. Your family, your friends, your employees, your co-workers, your community, your world – what do they really want and need from you?
Wake up. Just for a minute, let go of your self absorbed worries and problems and think about what the people you are serving or wish to serve are really like. What are they facing on a day-to-day basis and how would they like to feel facing it. Figure out a way to make them feel better and deal better with their challenges and you'll make friends for life – you'll deserve whatever success comes to you!
Don't continue to stand in your own way. Call us today at (805) 680-3988 for your complimentary client consultation.

Rural investment : full reportby John Andrews
The Government says its number one priority is getting the economy growing. Today (Tues) it turned to the countryside to help find the answer.
Farming minister Jim Paice was in Devon to announce the details of nearly three million pounds of grants, which he hopes will boost rural business.

BROWNSBURG — Town officials here passed a 2013 budget Thursday night amidst a lively debate that ultimately ended up at $39.9 million with an unprecedented property tax rate decrease of .1008, more than a 12 percent tax cut.
Town Manager Grant Kleinhenz said he was pleased not only with the tax decrease, but also with the fact that it was a balanced general fund budget.
"We're only spending the revenues we're receiving," he said. "We also have several capital projects which I believe will move our town forward in achieving some of the goals."
Those capital projects include improving Northfield Drive, completing the U.S. 136 and Odell Street intersection realignment that will see four new turn lanes and traffic lights, and more than $1 million in improvements in sidewalks and street overlays.
Town Council President Dwayne Sawyer added, "We're seeing a number of local municipalities with budget woes taking extreme measures to cut costs right away. Some of our neighboring communities are eliminating pay raises for employees, cutting positions, and reducing public safety to make up for shortfalls. Grant and his team worked hard to come in under budget again this year and find operational savings to lower the 2013 general fund."
The general fund was lowered by more than $147,000. The town saved $40,000 on employee benefits with a change to its longevity pay program that will show a savings of more than $1.4 million over 10 years.
A much talked about aspect of the budget was what to do with the Brownsburg Chamber of Commerce, which maintains offices in the town hall. The original budget proposal called for a split in the chamber's funds from more than $32,000 annually to $16,900.
Then, on second reading, a motion was passed to cut funding entirely.
At the final reading, councilman Dave Richardson tried to meet in the middle, proposing what was ultimately passed, which called for the chamber to move out of the town hall by April 1, 2013, and the town providing $20,000 for one year only.

At least three people were displaced during a fire in an apartment at the Naples Bath and Tennis Club early Wednesday morning.
According to the North Naples Fire Department, the fire started on the top floor of the building in a vacant unit where they believe a resident lives seasonally.
14-year-old daughter can't bear to walk more than a few feet inside their
"I broke down and started
crying I couldn't even go in there," she said. "Everything is destroyed the
roof is all in, there's water everywhere, there's nothing, there's nothing."
Crews were dispatched around 1:30 a.m. and worked for over an hour to extinguish the fire before it spread to other units.
Three of the units were badly damaged by fire. The residents were able to make it out quickly but will not be able to return to their units.
"I was expecting everything
just complete loss. It could have been a lot worse," said Steven Arnold, who was also displaced by the fire.
The fire caused visible damage to the building as well as smoke and water damage to all nine units inside the building.
The Red Cross is assisting one of the displaced residents while the other will stay with family.
The state fire marshal and fire inspectors are on scene to determine a cause.
Battalion Chief Marvin Steffen says the fire is very similar to a fire at the same apartment complex that occurred in May.
"There's a lot of
speculation. What is the issue and is there an issue, I don't know. We'll
find out as time goes on and the cause of origin is determined," said Michael Swanson, with North Naples Fire.
That fire made all nine apartments in the building unlivable leaving 15-20 residents displaced.
The cause of that fire was later determined to be due to an electrical malfunction.

Electrolysis Revisited
I finally finished setting up the tank that we cut out at Cubfest NE in October. Lots of stuff going on and not a lot of time to play. I did a little revising of the original setup that Rudi posted. He has pics of it and as soon as I get a chance to get some finals they will be posted. Instead of using seperate cables for each rod I looped one cable to all and fastened them with 5/8 inch ground rod clamps. Then there is one cable coming from the negative terminal to a clamp that I clamp to the part being cleaned. This is the same negative set up I had on my original tank. I like the solid connection as opposed to having the chain carry the current. A chain gives to many locations for a bad connection. I also took some old lawn mower blades and tack welded them to the rerod increasing the amount of material on the anodes tremendously.
An interesting observation. The only TSP I could get last night from Home Depost was a concentrated TSP substitute. It came in liquid form and I got a gallon of it to add to the 45 gallons of water in the tank. It did not even draw 1 amp. Tonight I picked up a box of TSP (without the phospate. Wouldn't that make it just TS.) and added it to the tank. As I added the TSP I watched the needle on the charger go from 1 to 6 amps. The more I added the higher the amperage.
So if you are concerned about having enough TSP in the solution I would say just watch the amp meter until it gets to where you want it to be. 6 to 10 amps in a fresh solution with good connections should do it.
Time will tell. By tomorrow afternoon the grill should be ready to take out. Pictures of befor and after to follow.
Cecil, Home depot advised me that they will no longer carry the TSP we all know and love for our electrolysis tanks - only the non-phosphate type. Lowes still carries it however. I'm not sure Lowes is up in New York. Rudi's system works great for me. I really over-engineered my first tank and it didn't work all that great, but Rudi's "keep it simple" maxim really made a difference. I just brush off my anodes when they get cruded up and off she goes again. One pound per 20 gallons of water works great for me and pulls about 7-8 amps.
You will still find TSP on some Home Depot shelves. But it will soon be disapearing. With the Roll out of several new programs. That keep us conforming to goverment policy. So we can sell to the goverment. It is a commitment that was made to better provide goods and services to federal gov. At least you just have the dissapointment of not being able to get it. I have to explain why we don't sell it to everyone that is looking for it.

Well at least y'all won't be alone. It seems that Kent will not be stocking it in the very near future either. They will only be stocking the TSP-Free TSP...
What an oxy-moron. However, the TSP-Free from DAP and from Savogran does work as Cecil and I were able to show at CubFest. Thanks for getting that Cecil and teaching me something new....
There has to be something in the TSP or the TSP-Free that does this.. as either preparation works.. the real stuff just works a heck of a lot quicker.
I think what I am going to do is pick up as much of the real DAP TSP that I can before we go to the Free stuff...
I knew the concentrate would be useless... that is why I put it in the previous threads as a Don't Waste yer money note...
Oooops.. sorry Cecil.

I am no chemist and maybe I am off-base, but isn't lye basically an acid? I do know that lye is very caustic, and probably would be detrimental to the parts being cleaned..
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
I agee with Rudi. It would seem that if Lye is an acid it would eat at whatever you were trying to clean. I guess what I have to do is find out the chemical composition of lye. Or maybe someone who is a lot smarter at chemistry than I am can chime in and help.
It's been over 55 years since I had HS chemistry, but I remember lye as being NaOH, (sodium hydroxide) a strong base... exactly the opposite from an acid. If you have any lye, try to keep it as far as you can from any acid since the two together will react violently.
I think with proper precautions lye would be an excellent electrolyte for a tank because of its' cleaning and paint removing ability. Used carelessly it could be quite dangerous. It will remove your skin in addition to paint.

Thanks George. Rudi and I just spent about 30 minutes searching out all kind of information on lye. If I had paid a little more attention in HS chemistry class I might have remembered too.
You are correct on Lye being a base.. and my use of acidic was incorrect. I used it I guess because Lye, is caustic.. and that I guess intimated acidic in my feeble brain. Lye is can be either sodium or potash based. It is Caustic, in fact can be very caustic.. as it is commonly Sodium Hydroxide. If you look at this article Troubled Times : Lye, you will notice that fumes from simple soap making can be dangerous. So not only is it risky to use without proper precautions, we all know how we can get distracted when doing stuff.. so I would be very, very leary of using Lye as an Electrolyte....
I kinda wished I had paid more attention to my High School Chem teacher as well...
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
So if I set up a electrolysis tank using lye in place of TSP, the lye would strip the paint and the electrolysis process would remove the rust? I did use a lye tank (55 gal. drum) years ago to strip the old paint off jeep parts and had good success, but the rust remained on the parts. Could the end result of a eltrolysis/lye tank be bare metal parts?
I haven't done so, but that's what I expect would happen. The electrolysis process, in addition to removing rust will go a long way for paint removal... but the lye should help it along. The dissolved lye should make the solution conductive enough for the process since it will ionize.
If you decide to try it, be very careful.
George Willer

So Glen, would you stick your bare hands in your tank to remove your parts? Lye burns. TSP don't. You will however get a tingle if you forget to turn off the juice. TSP does not flash rust.

Chelsea are well on their way to a place in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages, thanks to a great first half performance against Valencia. They're leading 2-0 at Stamford Bridge, and though they've allowed Valencia to have a majority of the possession, the score is deserved and is an accurate reflection of what's happened on the pitch thus far.
It took just three minutes for the Blues to open up the scoring, with Didier Drogba providing the finish. The Ivorian international has had a fantastic game thus far, playing very well for the entire half. Juan Mata provided a great assist with some fancy footwork before he played a ball across the box for Drogba to finish off.
Ramires added the second in the 21st minute on the counter attack. Drogba provided the assist, coming back for the ball and holding up before playing a great through ball. Victor Ruiz appeared to have great position to make a clearance, but let Ramires run around him and hit the ball into the back of the net.
It's a long way back for Los Che, but they only need to equalize, not win to go through.

Whenever somebody asks who the best point guard in the NBA today is, there's bound to be controversy. Two of the best will take part in Friday night's nationally televised game, however, as Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls pay a visit to Lob City to match-up with Chris Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers in a game scheduled for a 10:30 p.m. ET tip-off on NBA TV.
The Bulls are 2-1 early on in the season, a solid record considering they opened the season with a four-game roadtrip on the West Coast that ends tonight. Chicago is coming off of a 108-98 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night as Rose scored a team-high 19 points to go with eight assists and a disappointingly high six turnovers.
The Clippers have opened with a lighter schedule than most in the early goings of this truncated season as Friday night's affair will be just the third game the new-look L.A. team has played. Paul and the other end of his alley-oop, Blake Griffin, are off to solid starts as the reigning Rookie of the Year is averaging 25 points and eight rebounds while Paul is averaging 15 points and nine assists.
One other interesting note to keep an eye is that the current head coach of the Clippers, Vinny Del Negro, previously coached the Bulls before being fired in 2010.

It has been one year since the Quad Cities Alliance for Immigrants and Refugees (QCAIR) took shape.
In that time, the organization has grown, and given immigrants the tools they need to adjust to American life.
People from eight different cultural and ethnic backgrounds came together Saturday for the first annual QCAIR meeting.
And, while it was all business at the beginning, the meeting was mostly about fun - and celebrating partnerships.
QCAIR's main purpose is to connect refugee and immigrant groups with people that can help them with things like jobs, housing, education, positive police relations and more.
"I am really happy and really encouraging my immigrant community to be involved because we are learning a lot," Nana Ouro-Agoro, QCAIR Program Director, said.
"Information is really important to us. If you know or have information you can do anything you want," she explained.
Immigrants involved with the alliance say coming to a new country is tough, but so far QCAIR is making everything a lot easier.

Elgin's Arie Williams celebrates after hitting his game-winner from halfcourt as time expired against Francis Parker on Wednesday. | Mary Beth Nolan~For Sun-Times Media
Elgin needed a halfcourt buzzer beater from Arie Williams and some significant help from the opposition to survive a serious scare Wednesday.
Things looked bleak for the Maroons when F.W. Parker's Zach Kupferberg stepped to the free-throw line with two seconds left and his team leading by two. Kupferberg then gave Elgin the last in a series of breaks as he missed both attempts.
Williams rebounded the second miss and then dribbled on an unimpeded path to halfcourt, where he launched a shot that swished through the net as time expired for an improbable 55-54 Maroons win in the first round of the Elgin Tournament at Chesbrough Field House.
"I think that was the first real buzzer beater in my whole career going back to maybe Junior Maroons," Williams said. "When I let go and it came off my finger tips I felt like either it was going in or it was going in and out. I was thinking it would either be a happy ending or a heartbreaker."
Wiliams finished with a game-high 25 points, and his buzzer beater capped a bizarre final minute of the contest.
Elgin (7-6) trailed 53-47 with just over 30 seconds left when Williams missed an off-balance runner in traffic. The ball then rolled on the floor for several seconds before Williams grabbed it in the corner and sank a three-pointer to cut the deficit to 53-50 with 27 seconds remaining.
The Maroons immediately called timeout, and coming out of the break the Colonels inbounded the ball from under their basket to Kareem Medlock, a first-year player who was only on the court because his short-handed team was in foul trouble. In a moment of confusion, Medlock caught the pass and promptly laid the ball in Parker's basket, giving the Maroons two points and making the score 53-52 with 22 seconds left.
Following another Maroons timeout, Parker's Noah Wolff was fouled and split a pair of free throws to make it 54-52. Williams then badly missed a runner in traffic on Elgin's ensuing possession, with Kupferberg grabbing the rebound with two seconds left.
Kupferberg then missed his two attempts to set up Williams' heroics. F.W. Parker (8-3) was only 2-for-7 from the line in the final two minutes and 11-for-21 for the game.
"Say what you want about the kid throwing the ball in the wrong basket, but we still had opportunities to make free throws," Parker coach John Bongiorno said. "They were fouling us and we had the floor spread like we wanted. We just didn't get what we wanted at the foul line."
Parker, a private school from Chicago that competes at the Class 2A level, scored the final six points of the first half to take a 28-24 lead at the break. The Colonels maintained their lead for almost the entire second half before Williams turned the tide as time ran out.
Henry Peters led Parker with 20 points while Langdon Neal added 16 points before fouling out late in the fourth quarter.
Tanner Bednar had nine points and Eric Sedlack contributed 12 rebounds for Elgin, which made only 8-of-17 free throws. The Maroons advance to play Dundee-Crown in the quarterfinals at 6:45 p.m. Thursday.
"We got outrebounded, we didn't get 50-50 balls, (Parker) outhustled us and they deserved to win that game," Elgin coach Mike Sitter said. "We played all out for two seconds and we didn't deserve the win. I told that to their coaches and our team."
Sitter said the Maroons will likely be without starting forward Ryan Sitter for the rest of the tournament after he rolled an ankle late in the fourth quarter Wednesday. Elgin is already without junior guard Isaiah Butler, who missed his third game in a row with a broken right hand and strained MCL.

NURSING WEEK: Bonds strong with nurses, patients
Relationship longer for some needing dialysis
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Nurses and their patients often build strong bonds.
However, nurses of chronically ill patients have additional time to develop those bonds and the opportunity to make them even stronger.
For people needing dialysis — a type of renal replacement therapy — nurses can make all the difference.
"When kidneys aren't functioning properly, patients need dialysis," said Tammie Robinson, a registered nurse and family nurse practitioner for the Shannon Dialysis Center.
"Those patients come every other day," she said. "There is not just a professional nursing knowledge of them, they become extended family — we get to know their families, their kids and their caretakers."
The approximately 15 nurses on staff at the center work to make sure patients' treatments go smoothly.
Dialysis serves as an artificial kidney to filter the poisons and fluids the body can no longer purify on its own, Robinson said.
Typically, unless a patient gets a kidney transplant, treatments are lifelong.
Nurses at the Shannon Dialysis Center usually work long hours, Robinson said, because of the length and need for continuity of treatment.
"You can't just hand off a patient at the end of your shift," she said. "We have to wait until the procedure is finished."
Because of the all-inclusive, total body medical care received at the center, Robinson said their patients get better nursing care than most any other patient.
Patients on dialysis have constant reviews of their heart, lungs and gastrointestinal system.
"In one setting, we can monitor the patient's entire health care — who else gets that kind of care three times a week?" she said.
One of three outpatient dialysis centers in San Angelo, the center at Shannon sees approximately 130 patients each week.
The number of patients requiring renal care is part of the reason Robinson became a family nurse practitioner.
Working with Dr. Anthony DeMory, Robinson said she hopes to keep patients from needing the services of the Dialysis Center in the future.
"It's better to manage them early on in the disease process," she said, "to help prevent further deterioration."
"Dr. DeMory always says that dialysis patients are the sickest patients outside of the hospital," said Ed Harris, program director of Shannon's Dialysis Services. "They are constantly teetering on the possibility of their kidneys shutting down."
"Without the nurses, we couldn't do what we do," Harris said. "The physicians and nurses are there on a daily basis. The nurses are the backbone of the center. The level of care and compassion that you see there, is beyond reproach.
"I have an extra soft spot in my heart for the folks down there," he said.

Dispatchers, Reporter Participate in Wash. Live Burn
About 60 firefighters from Kittitas Valley Fire and Rescue, Kittitas Fire Department and Fire District 1 in Thorp participated in a practice fire that also included a reporter and two dispatchers.
Like most other workplaces, Elliott said, firefighters drink coffee, which adds to the problem.
"We try to manage that and get people to drink fluids and drink the right kids of fluids," he said.
Putting it out
Later, back inside the building with Russell, we watched as one of the attack teams dealt with a fire.
A straight stream of water shot from the hose they carried, and broke out a window next to the fire. When they put a stream to the fire, the cooler water disrupted the balance of hot air we could see above, and it felt like the heat dropped through the room.
Water expands 1,800 times in volume when it turns to steam, Elliott said.
That transfer of wetter, cooler air and steam can put out fires in other rooms from where it is sprayed, he said.
"We put out attic fires with steam all the time," he said. "If you converted 50 gallons of water into steam, you've absorbed a tremendous amount of energy. It takes a lot of energy to heat water. That's why your dad always told you to take short showers."
KVFR has training props made from metal containers or the hulks of old cars, but buildings provide much more realistic training opportunities.
The pacing is substantially slower and fire activity much more tame than a real fire, Russell said, but it's still good training.
"This is the closest thing to actually being in a real fire," he said. "Being able to burn, see the paint drip and stuff, that's valuable."
Working on basics
Rachel Carlson, a volunteer for Fire District 1, completed the recruit class, but had to wait until Saturday for a practice fire.
The burn, she said, was a good chance to work on the basics with a safety net.
The training included fire behavior and different spray patterns as they work in a practical setting, not just theoretically, she said.
She saw, "how everything works together, your tools, your breathing apparatus, getting around corners."
Not everyone at the training was a firefighter. Grace Laux and Julie Berthelote are dispatchers, and they said they were glad to see what's going on from the other end of the radio, and to put names to faces.
"It gives us a good understanding of what they're going through," Berthelote said.
Berthelote, Laux and I only had a few turns inside the home so firefighters could get more training time, but there was a good reason to stick around.
Once the practice fires started, there are only so many times the fires can be lit, put out, and re-lit. When all those chances were exhausted, firefighters burned down the building.
When the smoke started to pick up, neighbors started coming by to see the show.
"We're not leaving till that sucker's down," Laux said.

But before the channel gets changed from the Bills' last minute loss to the New England Patriots, first is a detailed analysis of each player that took an offensive and defensive snap for Buffalo. Every week, with the help of the All-22 film available through NFL.com's Game Rewind package, WGR will provide the standouts, the duds and everything in between from the game that was. For each player that appeared in the game on offense or defense, you'll see their name in bold, with a set of numbers in parenthesis. Example: Tyrion Lannister (54, -2, 2.7). The first number (54) represents the snap count of that game, the second (-2) represents the individual players plus-minus of positive plays to negative plays in that game. The third number (2.7) represents the weighted Grade Point Average assigned to that player by the author. In future editions, there will be a fourth number that will represent a player's season-long GPA. OFFENSE (63 total plays) Quarterback The highly anticipated debut of first-round pick EJ Manuel (63, +2, 3.0) got off to a slow start, hit it's climax in the third quarter and then dipped back down during the home stretch of the contest. Early on, Manuel was doing the little things correctly. In the first quarter, defender Rob Ninkovich correctly identified the read-option and stayed home, running with Manuel as he rolled out. Manuel changed the angle of his throw and found Scott Chandler for a smart dump-off throw. The rookie was almost intercepted three times in the first half. The first was on a fly route to Robert Woods that was the correct read, but Manuel did not throw it far enough, making it into a jump ball situation with cornerback Alfonzo Dennard. After a couple more near turnovers, he hit is stride at the end of the first half with a 19-yard completion to Chandler in which he threw the tight end open up the seam in the middle of zone coverage. On the same drive, he recognized cornerback Aqib Talib's hesitation in zone coverage and found Woods for his first career touchdown. In the second half, Manuel found open running room for the first time on a scramble, getting outside the pocket for a 19-yard gain. That happened to be on the Bills' first drive of the second half, which also was the same series that Manuel completed his best pass of the day. Placing it perfectly between the cornerback in coverage and the safety coming over the top, the first-round pick arced it into the grasp of Stevie Johnson for his second touchdown toss of the game. Manuel overcame breakdowns from his offensive linemen in the third quarter as well, even pulling a spin move to escape the pocket, roll out and find a receiver down the field to avoid a sack. In the fourth quarter, Manuel struggled to find the touch he had near the middle of the contest. He missed badly on a fly route down the left sideline to T.J. Graham, who had a step on his man in 1-on-1 coverage with no safety help. The rookie's throw was too long and way out of bounds. He also missed badly on two throws during the team's final drive of the game in which they had the lead, and then settled for a four-yard throw on a 3rd-and-10 situation. On that same play, had Manuel waited an extra second, Graham was coming free on an 11-yard out route. The rookie took no sacks in his first game, fortunately limited his turnovers and had a respectable stat line. The playbook featured mostly short throws that didn't leave him in the pocket for a long amount of time. As the season progresses, that trend will likely change as Manuel grows more and more comfortable. Running Back It was an inauspicious debut for C.J. Spiller (37, -1, 2.3), who came into the season billed as one of the top breakout candidates in the NFL. An early fumble on a sweep to the left set the tone for his day. The bigger problem was his inability to take the cutback lanes that were given. Spiller did not look like he did in 2012, lacking the explosion and burst that made him a household name in fantasy football circles. Fred Jackson (26, +4, 3.3) wasn't expected to have quite as big a role as he had on Sunday, but the veteran flourished with the chance. Opposed to Spiller, Jackson was taking the cutback lanes for solid yardage. He also showed well in pass protection, even knocking defensive end Chandler Jones on his back on one play. Wide Receiver The day of the receivers will be headlined by the fourth quarter drop by Stevie Johnson (62, 0, 2.7). It was a play that needed to be made in a crucial moment, but one that shouldn't define his day completely. Although not a huge day from a statistical standpoint, Johnson had a good feel early on when he shook off a jam attempt and got to the middle of the field for a big gain. His play of the day was the touchdown catch feathered to him from Manuel, sprawling out to secure the reception in the end zone. Johnson was brought into the slot and even served as an important blocker on some run plays. He missed two key blocks that could have led to bigger gains; one on a reverse and the other on a cutback. Rookie Robert Woods (61, +1, 2.7) had only one reception, but it was fairly important considering it was the first touchdown pass of EJ Manuel's career. On one of the few shots taken down the field, Woods beat Alfonzo Dennard on a 1-on-1 opportunity in which the ball was not placed well by Manuel. T.J. Graham (60, 0, 2.3) had a quiet day. His only noticeable play on the field was a 1-on-1 opportunity on a fly route down the left sideline where his quarterback missed badly. He also ran a reverse and had a holding penalty which was declined. Rookie Marquise Goodwin (9, -1, 1.67) fumbled on his only reception of the contest, leading to fantastic field position for New England. He left the game with a fracture in his hand and will miss some time. Tight End Unlike the last regime, Doug Marrone and Nathaniel Hackett did not utilize many two tight-end sets. Scott Chandler (57, -2, 2.3) saw the most action and had a poor start to his day. On the C.J. Spiller fumble, the tight end lost his block that contributed to the breakdown. He also had a pair of penalties early on (false start, block in the back) and a drop on what could have been around a 27 yard gain if he completed the over-the-shoulder catch. On the first of the team's touchdown drives, Chandler had a key 19-yard catch over the middle of the field where he found the soft spot in zone coverage. On the lone scramble made by EJ Manuel, Chandler provided a very good wedge block to give his quarterback an easy path to the sidelines and to not take a hit from an oncoming defender. Lee Smith (2, 0, 2.3) spent very little time on the field on offense. He was in on consecutive plays in the first half when the Bills were backed up to their own goal line. Offensive Line For the most part, the offensive line had a solid day. Unfortunately for the Bills, the play of their left guard Colin Brown (63, -10, 0.7) made him the worst player on their sidelines, and it wasn't even close. In his defense, Brown did draw the toughest assignment perhaps of any player, having to block Vince Wilfork almost every play. However, it didn't matter if it was in the run game or in pass protection, Brown was often seen lunging from a missed block to try and recover. Too many plays of the Bills were broken up because of his poor play. His performance must pick up or the Bills could potentially look elsewhere to shore up what is mostly a solid unit. Left tackle Cordy Glenn (63, +2, 3.3) had the most impressive day. His assignment was mostly second-year player Chandler Jones, and he performed very well showing quick enough feet throughout the game. Glenn did take a penalty for illegal hands to the face on a potential 19-yard gain, though. Center Eric Wood (63, +1, 3.0) did well against stunts and in combo blocks with some of his teammates. He was late on one play where he had to pull, and the man he was supposed to block ended up making the play. Right tackle Erik Pears (63, +1, 3.0) capably used his size to help keep a quicker Rob Ninkovich away from the quarterback for the most part. Pears did allow Manuel to get hit by Ninkovich on one play in the third quarter. The right tackle was most effective in the run game. Right guard Kraig Urbik (63, 0, 2.7) was up and down in a tough matchup against long-time Oakland starter Tommy Kelly. Urbik's ability in the run game was his most impressive. DEFENSE (91 total plays) Defensive Line The quartet of defensive linemen that rotated through was led by the efforts of Marcell Dareus (72, +3, 3.3) who actually had one of the worst starts to the game of anyone on the team. He had an early penalty call and was getting pushed around with ease early on. However, once the game got to the second half Dareus started to take over. He was getting penetration on run plays and using his athleticism to run on a horizontal plane when runners bounced it out wide. When Dareus is on, he can be dominant. When he's not, he disappears completely, which is exactly what the Bills have to figure out with him. Kyle Williams (65, +2, 3.0) didn't have a flashy first half and then made his presence felt in the fourth quarter. His sack on third down in the red zone could have been one of the key plays to a potential Bills victory, but we know how it all turned out. Alex Carrington (57, -1, 2.3) was the weakest of the starters. Contrary to the day Dareus had, Carrington started off very strong and was getting pushed around more as the game progressed. He had an especially rough fourth quarter in the run game where the Patriots found some success running to his side. Reserve Alan Branch (33, +2, 3.0) found much success in a limited role. He had a pair of very nice pass rushes and blew by Logan Mankins on one play to disrupt a Stevan Ridley first quarter run in the backfield. Rush Linebacker Although the spotlight isn't quite as bright in 2013 as it was in 2012 for Mario Williams (73, +1, 2.7) fans are still expecting a big impact from the $100 million man. Williams did not register a sack but showed well in containing the edge against the run in the early going. He also pressured the pocket a few times that helped force a premature throw from Tom Brady. The edge contain was not as good in the second half, registering almost as many negative plays as he had positive in the first half. Jerry Hughes (62, +1, 3.0) provided three different pass rushes that forced Brady to hurry up a throw, move around the pocket and he even got there quickly enough to put a hit on the quarterback after he delivered his pass. Hughes was called for two offsides penalties, both of which were declined. Middle Linebacker The debut of rookie linebacker Kiko Alonso (91, +3, 3.3) was a mostly solid one. Although he got caught being a bit too aggressive at times, Alonso showed poise in both run support, in coverage and also displayed natural instincts. The best plays of his afternoon all came in clutch moments in the second half. He used his quickness to get sideline to sideline and force the speedy Shane Vereen back inside for no gain on a third quarter play. With the Patriots on the door-step on 3rd-and-goal in the third quarter Alonso stuffed the running back at the 1-yard line, which set up for Brady's eventual fumble that the linebacker recovered on 4th-and-goal. On the negative side, he showed a tendency to over-pursue at times and was even a tad hesitant in coverage a couple of times. All in all however, Alonso had a strong debut. Arthur Moats (24, +2, 2.7) showed well in a limited amount of time on the field. His best play was a tackle for loss of LeGarrette Blount where the Patriots missed a blocking assignment and Moats had a free shot at the runner. His lone negative play was in over-pursuit of a first quarter run. He followed the fullback instead of tracking the runner and it contributed to a 20-yard gain on the ground. Weakside Linebacker In a mild surprise, second-year linebacker Nigel Bradham (19, +2, 2.7) didn't get nearly as much time on the field as expected. Bradham was more of a sub-package player and contributed most in the coverage aspect of the game. He displayed good man coverage on a pair of plays in the red zone in the fourth quarter. Jamaal Westerman (3, 0, 2.0) was brought out to be a pass rusher on three individual plays, and didn't provide anything noticeable for either good or bad reasons. Strongside Linebacker Although he isn't the hell-raising pass-rusher that San Francisco hoped he would have been when they took him in the first round back in 2006, Manny Lawson (37, +3, 3.3) has carved a niche as a fantastic defender against the run. He uses his length so well to help contain the edge and give his teammates an opportunity to make a play. For being such a lanky player, Lawson is able to change directions quite well. His best example was a play where he started moving right, shifted left to avoid a block, and then continued right to bring down the ball carrier for no gain. The Bills' run defense will be improved this season, and he deserves some of the credit. Cornerback With the absence of second-year player Stephon Gilmore, the Bills depended on Leodis McKelvin (90, +2, 3.0) and Justin Rogers (87, -3, 2.0) to pick up the slack. McKelvin had the more impressive game of the two, sticking with his assignments in man-to-man coverage throughout much of the game. His biggest problem area was staying with the receiver on comeback routes. He was burned twice along the sideline by that route in particular. He prevented a touchdown in the back of the end zone by pushing an airborne Kenbrell Thompkins out of bounds before he could get both feet in for six points. Rogers played off-man most of the game, and it really hurt him early on. You can't give quick-twitch receivers like Danny Amendola or Julian Edelman too much of a cushion or else they'll burn you. While Rogers made some solid plays in run support and had a gift of an interception, he let up some big plays. In the fourth quarter, Rogers was beaten by Edelman on a post route and then missed the tackle which allowed a 35-yard gain. There were also times that Rogers got beat clean off the line of scrimmage, but Brady didn't see them and made his throws elsewhere. Nickel cornerback Nickell Robey (67, +2, 3.0) played very well for an undrafted free agent rookie. He overcame his size and stayed right with his assignment for the entirety of the game. He has already shown potential to be a solid solution at nickel, provided he stays healthy. Ron Brooks (10, +1, 2.7) formerly held that job but still got a handful of snaps for the Bills. Brooks made a big open field tackle in the fourth quarter on Shane Vereen before being diagnosed with a fracture in his left foot after the game. Safety Making his first start at safety, Aaron Williams (91, -3, 2.0) was one of just two players to play every snap on defense against the Patriots. He got caught cheating a couple of times and the experienced Tom Brady looked to take advantage on both occasions. Williams must be careful, especially when he's in a single-high safety look, to not take too many false steps and open up an opportunity that wouldn't normally be there. That's part of the learning curve for him this season. Da'Norris Searcy (60, +2, 3.0) had the strongest game of the three main safeties that got time on the field. When going to a nickel look, Searcy dropped down into the box to become a de facto linebacker. It was there he showed his abilities as an instinctive defender against the run. In coverage though, Searcy still leaves a lot to be desired. He was beat badly on a double-move by Shane Vereen, and was lucky Brady's throw to the runner was out of reach or else it would have went for a big play. His fumble return for a touchdown was his headlining play, but his instincts made his game a rather solid one. Jim Leonhard (57, -2, 2.3) got a lot of time on the field considering he hadn't even been with the Bills for a week. Brady threw his first touchdown pass over Leonhard to Julian Edelman, which left the safety twisting in the wind. There were also a couple of missed tackles on big gains in the rushing attack during the fourth quarter that plagued Leonhard. The Bills are patiently waiting for Jairus Byrd to be healthy so Searcy can return to more of a situational role and Leonhard wouldn't be as big a part of the defensive game plan. Rookie Duke Williams (4, -1, 2.0) played, and was flagged for being the extra man on a too many men penalty call.

Tensions between Gov. Mike Pence and House Speaker Brian Bosma over Pence's proposed personal income tax cut have run afoul of Ronald Reagan's famous dictum that no Republican should speak ill of another in the heat of an intraparty squabble.
Pence invoked Reagan's "11th Commandment" at a Republican Party fundraiser last week as he tried to drum up support for his proposal. He pleaded for Bosma and tea partyers Americans for Prosperity to cool their heels.
The tea party group is airing ads chastising House Republicans for opposing Pence's tax cut.
The ads have angered Bosma. He calls them "erroneous" and contends Pence harmed his own chances within the Legislature by fumbling the campaign rollout of the tax cut proposal last year.

What kind of work went into nailing your British accent?
The play features no costume changes, no props, and no pantomime of stage business. What are the benefits of that?
16 Jun 2012
photo by Joan Marcus
What was the rehearsal process like? Cock seems like an instance where those collegiate trust- and chemistry-building exercises might have come in handy.
CMS: I totally know what you mean, but we didn't do any falling backward into each others' arms. James just made us all feel so comfortable with each other. James is incredibly economical in his direction; he's not someone who speaks often or a lot, so when he said something it was incredibly purposeful, efficient and personal. Because of that, there were a lot of moments where we were reading the script together, thinking independently, sharing when we wanted to, and just looking into each others' eyes. I know this sounds ridiculous, but there were so many times when we were just sitting in silence together. A group of people that can sit together quietly, comfortably, and only speak when necessary is like heaven to me.
CMS: We had a lovely voice coach come in, Kate Wilson, and she's wonderful. I also listened to a lot of different people from London. I just love dialects; they're really fun. One of the coolest ways to start building a character is the way he moves his mouth, what part of the mouth he puts his words into, how he expresses himself, and there's a certain flavor you get with a dialect. It's nice, because the play doesn't dictate exactly where the characters are from, so there's some leniency in that.
CMS: That was actually Mike Bartlett's choice, because it's written in the play that there are no sets, no props and no miming. I don't believe it says anything about costumes, but I'm sure that was his intention as well. Put simply, it makes the people important. It's incredibly difficult and exciting, because there's nothing to hide behind and nothing to distract ourselves from the human being in front of us. It makes that person the most important thing at that moment.
CM: [Laughs.] Nor am I.
What kind of work went into nailing your British accent?
The play features no costume changes, no props, and no pantomime of stage business. What are the benefits of that?
So what makes him so darn attractive to two wildly disparate characters like M and W?
CMS: I don't know. God bless them. Clearly it's nothing physical. I think it goes back to his honesty, which is really endearing. At least that's why I love him. When someone's up-front with you, telling you who they are, telling you how they feel, not hiding their behavior, putting it all out on the table for you, saying what they do know and what they don't yet know… how can you not trust that person? There's something very attractive about that.
Considering the play's controversial title, is it fair to assume that John's endowment and bedroom skills are also worth fighting over?
CMS: Yeah! [Laughs.] Yeah. He's a passionate person, a lover, so I would imagine that John would be a good time in the bedroom.
Regardless of their reasons, two people are ostensibly fighting over you every night. Does that go your head a little bit?
CMS: Oh, God, no. If anything, it makes me feel guilty. No, the play exhausts me, so I don't have time to let it go to my head.
W says to John, "Some people might think you were scrawny, but I think you're like a picture drawn with a pencil." That's a terrific backhanded compliment, isn't it?
CMS: Right? That's one of my favorite lines in the play. The first time I read that, I thought, 'If someone said that to me, I'd probably marry that person.' But the first time we did it in front of an audience, and then every time thereafter, it gets one of the biggest laughs in the show. I didn't expect people to laugh at that, because I think it's so lovely and beautiful. It's actually the best compliment I've ever gotten, except it's in a play and not in real life.

Kennesaw could join a growing list of Georgia cities that have banned smoking nearly everywhere except private residences.Last week, City Councilmember Dr. Cris Welsh introduced an ordinance that would ban smoking tobacco and e-cigarettes in public places."What we want to do is talk to our business owners, talk to our citizens and just begin the conversation -- see if this is something they would like to follow in the footsteps of Savannah, DeKalb County and other municipalities around us who have created a smoke-free environment for their citizens," said Welsh. Unlike state law, Dr. Welsh's ordinance would ban smoking in bars, restaurants, public parks and all privately owned, indoor workplaces. The ban even includes e-cigarettes.Dixie's Vapor Shop owner David Owens says no studies have proven that what comes out of an e-cigarette or vaporizer is harmful."It's a bi-product of the vegetable glycerin, which is basically a water vapor that you exhale, and very, very little of the nicotine is exhaled because most of it -- because it's vaporized -- is absorbed immediately into your system," said Owens.Smokers think banning tobacco nearly everywhere except their homes is a violation of their rights as adults. "I believe much in tobacco, so I am very against this movement of people trying to ban smoking at public facilities," said John Fitzrobert Webb. The proposal would severely limit the places smokers could light up. "The places that we would be looking at are public parks, public buildings -- anywhere that children would be," Welsh said. According to Welsh, Kennesaw says a vote on the draft ordinance won't come anytime soon. Last week was just initial presentation of the proposed smoking ban.
