Orville Thompson's entrepreneurial spirit emerged long before he and his wife Heidi launched Scentsy on July 1, 2004.
In 1979, 10-year-old Orville approached his father about purchasing a flock of sheep from a neighbor, who was offering to accept half of the following year's lambs as payment. Orville agreed to sell his horse to pay for feed. Orville's father agreed – believing he was raising a son rather than sheep by allowing Orville to take on this huge responsibility.
Over the next several years, Orville turned his flock from a collection of crossbreeds into a purebred flock. He earned money selling sheep at auctions and to other young people who would raise and show sheep through programs like 4H. By the time he graduated from high school, Orville had $14,000 in the bank.
In 1990, Orville married Heidi Braucht. The young couple moved to Seattle, Washington, where Orville was studying at the University of Washington.
Following his graduation in 1992 with a B.A. in History and a strong interest in international trade, Orville worked in international shipping, where he further honed his entrepreneurial acumen and business skills — but for very little income.
In 1994, the job market was shrinking and Orville and Heidi had a growing family to support. Orville put aside the thought of a corporate career or a Ph.D. in History and instead went into business with Heidi's mother, Alice, developing a car wax formula and selling it (along with other products) at fairs and shows in the Pacific Northwest and surrounding areas.
For the next year, Orville and Heidi lived in a travel trailer with their first child, roaming throughout the country working the fairs and shows business. With the impending birth of their second child, the growing family put down roots in Meridian, Idaho, trading the travel trailer for a house. Orville continued to work the fairs and shows business, and his company, Event Sales, became one of the largest fairs, shows, and mall kiosk companies in the western United States. Heidi concentrated on raising the family while Orville spent many months each year on the road selling car wax, shammies, 64-in-1 video game controllers, and other popular products.
Event Sales was successful on the surface, but Orville regularly needed to take on greater amounts of debt to keep the company afloat.
In 2003, Orville invested in a car wax infomercial that failed, leaving Orville and Heidi $700,000 in net debt and on the verge of bankruptcy. Orville says about that time in his life: "I was feeling just beaten down as an entrepreneur, a failure. And I remember thinking, 'Why didn't I just become a dentist?'"
Orville went to Heidi and said, "We are really in debt; we should probably file for bankruptcy." To which Heidi replied, "No. We are going to swing for the fence and we're going to swing really hard."
In March 2004, without enough money in the Event Sales checking account to pay the rent on booth space, Orville attended a Salt Lake City, Utah, home show. He wrote a check to the show promoter, saying, "This check is bad. Don't cash it, but please let me set up. I will buy this check back from you with cash by the end of the show." The promoter agreed. Orville set up his booth selling 64-in-1 video game controllers across the aisle from two stay-at-home moms who were selling decorative warmers designed to melt scented wax with the heat of a light bulb instead of a traditional wick and flame.
Over the next few days, the wickless candle concept fascinated Orville. He struck up a conversation with the women during a lunch break, and they swapped products. Orville traded a video game controller for a warmer, several wickless candle bars, and a set of scent testers. He took the products home to Heidi, who now admits she planned to toss them into the pile of other products Orville was fond of bringing home for her to evaluate for Event Sales.
The products never made it to the pile of discards. Instead, Heidi fell in love with them.
A few days after returning from the home show, Heidi was visiting and sharing the scents testers with her mom and sister. Orville left to run an errand and came home to find the women still smelling the testers, laughing and sharing memories. They were having a great time and something smelled delicious. He asked Heidi what she was baking and the women laughed. She told him it was a Scentsy candle bar called Banana Nut Bread.
Orville was touched by the cozy scene and intrigued to see how different scents could evoke emotions and memories. He was energized by how natural it was to share those feelings and memories with others in the "party" environment. Orville and Heidi purchased the tiny company and moved Scentsy to Meridian, Idaho.
Heidi quickly immersed herself in the new venture. She was in love with Scentsy products and determined to see the company succeed.
Heidi's participation in the business would prove invaluable. While Orville traveled for Event Sales as he did each summer, Heidi took over the financial books and began researching different business models, including direct selling. She learned about the Direct Selling Association (DSA) and was impressed by the DSA's high level of support for its members. But what really drew her to DSA was the organization's Code of Ethics.
Heidi convinced Orville to attend the DSA's national meeting in New Orleans even though the expense was considerable. In fact, Orville and Heidi now laugh that they had to "rub their remaining credit cards together" to come up with the funds for just Orville to attend that meeting.
And that's where the idea to launch Scentsy as a party plan company was formed. Orville and Heidi learned everything they could about how the direct selling business model worked. They realized how well that model suited the wonderful experience the women in Heidi's family had shared in her kitchen with the Scentsy testers.
On July 1, 2004, Orville and Heidi launched Scentsy as a party plan company. Driving to Salt Lake City to meet with potential Scentsy Consultants that day, they created the company's mission statement:
"To bring value to the world by providing an industry-leading, family-friendly business opportunity selling creative, artistic, high-quality products that Warm the Heart, Enliven the Senses, and Inspire the Soul."
Scentsy's first home was a 40-foot metal box. For several months, the Thompsons and their five kids ran Scentsy's manufacturing and shipping operations from an old ocean shipping container that had been sitting on the family sheep farm in Meridian, Idaho. Orville had secured the farm and started raising sheep when he felt discouraged with his failing Event Sales business. It was his way to reconnect to a time when he felt inspired as a successful entrepreneur. Now it was time to sell the sheep and get to work.
Because they were deeply in debt, with no credit line or means to take on investors, Orville and Heidi had no choice but to "bootstrap." They used what they had — including converting a mouse-infested ocean container into the "home office" — and worked tirelessly, nearly around the clock, to launch the fledgling company.
By October 2004, Scentsy had outgrown the container on the farm. Orville and Heidi signed their first lease and moved into a 1,800-square-foot warehouse and office facility on Franklin Avenue in Meridian, Idaho. They knew it wouldn't hold them for long, but it was what they could afford. There was enough room to manufacture and store products, and space for employees — but not enough money to pay them.
Together with their family and friends, the Thompsons poured, cooled, packed, and shipped all the wickless candles themselves. Heidi's parents, Alice and Fred, pitched in and worked seven days a week, at no salary, for nearly two years. Scentsy's early Consultants often showed up to help pack and ship their own party orders, and Orville's mother joined right in to help them when she came to visit.
In June 2006, Scentsy doubled its square footage, moving to a new 5,000-square-foot facility with warehouse space for manufacturing and shipping, and office space for its growing staff. But it was only a matter of months before the company outgrew that location, too. After less than a year on Adkins Drive in Meridian, Scentsy was already sorely in need of more space.
It was time for a bold move. Orville found a building in Meridian with enough space to accommodate Scentsy's growth. But when he approached the property owner in March 2007 to talk about terms, the owner thought Scentsy's revenue projections of 400 percent growth by year's end were unreasonable.
Not willing to give up, Orville cut his projections by half and met with the landlord again.
Hours before Scentsy's annual Convention in July 2007, the landlord finally agreed to lease space to Scentsy. And incidentally, Scentsy's growth in 2007 (more than 600 percent) was in line with Orville's original "unreasonable" projections.
Scentsy's new 42,000-square-foot location at 3698 East Lanark Street housed most of Scentsy's operations, including new office space for its growing staff. Scentsy moved in just in time for the very busy holiday selling season. At the time, neither of the Thompsons believed Scentsy would ever fill the space.
In October 2007, the company opened a 14,000-square-foot distribution center near Chicago, Illinois, to accommodate the company's growth in the eastern United States.
In June 2008, Scentsy began to automate, speeding up production with a custom-designed candle bar injection machine — christened Alice in honor of Heidi's mother and her generous service to the company. In August 2008, the company installed a second candle bar injection machine, appropriately named Fred in honor of Heidi's stepfather and his donated time. Several additional automated candle bar injection machines joined Alice and Fred later that year. By the end of 2008, Scentsy filled more than 100,000 square feet in the East Lanark building.
In September 2008, during a system-wide software upgrade, a switch was unintentionally left open that allowed Puerto Rico residents to enroll as Consultants. And enroll they did. By the following summer, the Puerto Rico market was growing at a rate six times higher than the US rate. The leadership team was concerned. Scentsy had few bilingual field leaders and very few training materials translated into Spanish. With such rapid growth and limited communication, Scentsy executives wondered whether the guidelines, ethics, and policies were being followed. Chuck Thompson, Scentsy's Chief Financial Officer, and Mark Stastny, Scentsy's Chief Marketing Officer, took a team of employees to Puerto Rico to see what was going on.
What they found amazed them. "The alignment with the Scentsy values was incredible," Mark says. Somehow the Scentsy message made it smoothly through the language barrier. Puerto Rico's family-oriented, close-knit culture offered a perfect environment for the Scentsy model.
In June 2009, a month before celebrating its fifth anniversary as a party plan company, Scentsy was awarded the DSA's first ever Rising Star Award, given to the DSA member company that showed the most remarkable growth while demonstrating adherence to the DSA's Code of Ethics.
Several weeks later in July 2009, Orville and Heidi threw a most unusual and compelling "party" to commemorate Scentsy's fifth anniversary. To express their appreciation for the success Scentsy had achieved and show support for their community, the Thompsons gave their employees and vendors and their family members a total of $100,000 cash to spend in one day in 40 family-owned small businesses in the Boise area. Businesses were nominated by Scentsy executives and employees and chosen by a committee. Employees kept what they purchased as thanks for their contribution and $2,500 was spent in each location, giving some small local businesses an infusion of cash rarely seen in those economic times. This celebration served as the inspiration for Scentsy's fall 2009 "Contribute" campaign in which Consultants were encouraged to mirror Scentsy's local program in their own communities.
In July 2009, the company also launched a new 80,000-square-foot distribution facility in the Lexington, Kentucky, area to improve service to Consultants outside the Intermountain West.
In October 2009, Scentsy looked beyond its national sales model and opened the doors to selling and recruiting in Canada. In an unusual move for a party plan company, this first international expansion allowed U.S.-based Consultants to sell and recruit across the border. In this way, Scentsy's values and "spirit" crossed the border as well. New Canadian Consultants received training and support from seasoned Consultants in the U.S., and U.S. Consultants were given an opportunity to grow their businesses. Scentsy showed a profit in Canada in less than three months. At the end of the first quarter of 2010, Scentsy had more than 1,000 active Consultants in Canada. By the end of the year, Scentsy had spread operations to all 50 United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, and Canada.
In July 2010, Scentsy upgraded to a new facility. This time, most of the company's Meridian, Idaho, staff (excluding Shipping and Manufacturing personnel) moved to a new space across the street from the East Lanark location. This new 65,000+ square-foot location will buy the company some much needed elbow room as it continues to grow. East Lanark continues to house the company's warehouse and shipping operations, along with Scentsy's Wellness Center, a full-service gym with a full-time fitness trainer, available at no cost to all employees (and at very low cost to their spouses).
As Scentsy employees stretched their legs in the new facility, they also celebrated six years in business with Six-Pack Give Back, six volunteer events in Idaho's Treasure Valley. Together with Consultants, friends, families, and suppliers, Scentsy employees donated blood, sweat, and time to support the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure — the Scentsy team had 2,200 participants! — Boise's Paint the Town event, the Red Cross, Dress for Success with the Women's and Children's Alliance, Wednesday's Child, and 20 family-owned Treasure Valley businesses.
Automation and expansion continued at a rapid pace in 2010; in March 2010, "Alice" and "Fred" were retired and replaced by custom-designed high-speed wickless candle manufacturing equipment affectionately named "Alice2" and "Fred2."
In addition to the exciting expansion, 2010 brought new honors for the company: Scentsy was included in the Direct Selling News Global 100 list of top direct selling companies, as well as being named the number one consumer products company on the Inc. 500 list of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States.
At the start of 2011, Scentsy announced big plans: a 50-acre campus with a 157,000-square-foot office tower, a 159,000-square-foot distribution center, and a 105,000-square-foot warehouse. Construction on the campus began almost immediately.
As Scentsy worked to accommodate its continued growth at home, the company also began looking beyond its continental borders. In April 2011, Scentsy expanded to Europe with a successful launch in both the UK and Germany; by the end of the year, the company had also launched in Ireland.
Progress continued on the new campus. The Scentsy rail line — which runs right up to the new campus — was completed and celebrated with a Golden Spike Ceremony, and in late summer, Scentsy moved into its new manufacturing building and distribution center. In September 2011, the company also opened a new 146,000-square-foot distribution facility in Coppell, Texas, to better serve Consultants and customers in the Southwest.
Throughout the year, Scentsy was recognized in a variety of ways, from Heidi being named the Idaho Business Review Woman of the Year to again being included in the Inc. 500 list — ranked this time among the top 100. The company continued to devote a large portion of its resources to charitable causes, through events like its Halt the Hunger campaign, which raised more than $600,000 for the Idaho Food Bank, and the Scentsy Teeter-Totter-a-Thon, which raised money for seven children's charities.
And Orville once again took up raising sheep with his father in his spare time.
In March 2012, alongside the release of the new Scentsy Spring/Summer 2012 Catalog, Scentsy launched a new product line: Layers by Scentsy, a personal and laundry care line that would allow Consultants and Customers to extend the Scentsy fragrance experience from their skin to their clothes.
In September 2012, Scentsy launched Sincerely Scent, a line of scented greeting cards that are completely customizable — even down to the Scentsy Favorites fragrance inside!
What began in 2003 as a simple idea inspired by ordinary women has since become a thriving international business. Orville and Heidi — along with thousands of Scentsy Consultants and customers — have created something extraordinary that touches thousands of lives each day in profound ways. Orville says it best: "Through the power of our fragrances, the simplicity of our product line, and a deep sense of family at home and at work, we find hope, vision, and an appetite for working hard as a team that binds us together. With Scentsy, we have each found something that speaks to and encourages the best in ourselves and each other."

Baseball earns split with 10-5 win over #25 UCF
March 5, 2008
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Sophomore Glenn Witkowski set the tone with two scoreless inning of relief and the Dolphins pounded out 10 runs on 12 hits as the JU baseball team earned a split with No. 25 UCF with a 10-5 win, Wednesday evening at John Sessions Stadium.
JU (7-1) scored seven runs in the first four innings, including two runs in the first to increase its streak to eight consecutive games.
UCF (8-1), off to its best start in program history, evened things up with four runs in the top of the third but finished with six errors to increased its total to nine for the series.
"We bounced back from a tough loss last night and learned from our mistakes," said JU head coach Terry Alexander. "Our bullpen came through again for us and we continue to find ways to score early. A win against a ranked opponent always bodes well for a young squad."
After UCF scored four runs in the top of the third to even the contest, JU answered with two runs in the bottom of the third, a run in the bottom of the fourth and three runs in the sixth to put the game out of reach.
Witkowski (1-0) earned his first win of the season after allowing no runs on two hits with four strikeouts in two innings of relief. Freshman Matt Loosen, junior Billy Schlee and senior Matt Dobbins combined to allow only one run in the final 4.1 innings.
Caleb Graham (0-1) was tagged with the loss after allowing six runs (five earned) on five hits with two walks and a strikeout in 2.1 innings. Graham, who is a transfer from Florida State, earned the loss for the Seminoles last season against JU as the Dolphins snapped an 18-game losing streak to FSU with a 5-3 win at John Sessions Stadium.
Junior catcher Brad Simmons led the Dolphins with two RBI after going 2-for-4 from the plate. Senior center fielder Kevin Ferreira, junior right fielder Thomas Myers and Dobbins also finished with multiple hits for the Dolphins.
Tyson Auer led the Knights by going 3-for-5 with an RBI while Josh Siebenaler, Colin Arnold, Ryan Richardson, Eric Kallstrom and Rob Lara also finished with multiple hits.
The game also featured some family feud flavor as Dobbins batted against his younger brother, UCF freshman pitcher Brennan Dobbins, in the bottom of the eighth inning.
JU jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning when Ferreira scored on a throwing error and Simmons hit an RBI single with two outs. Ferreira led off the inning with a single to center and junior left fielder Kyle Fleming drew a walk, but Ferreira advanced to third on the play when Lara threw an ill-advised throw to second, which rolled into center field. Myers followed with a shallow flyout to right but Richardson's throw was off target at the plate, allowing Ferreira to score and Fleming to move to second. In the next at-bat, Simmons lined a single to left to score Fleming.
The Dolphins made it 4-0 in the bottom of the second when freshman shortstop Jamaal Hawkins hit an RBI ground out and Ferreira knocked an RBI single. Senior shortstop Matt Lopez led off the inning with a walk and then advanced to second on Dobbins' single to left. Both runners advanced on a sacrifice by sophomore second baseman Chuck Opachich before Hawkins chopped a slow grounder to first to drive in Lopez. Ferreira followed with a single to left field to plate Dobbins.
UCF evened the contest, 4-4, with four runs on four hits in the top of the third inning. With the bases loaded and two outs, Witkowski entered the contest and got Siebenaler to ground out to short to end the threat.
The Dolphins answered quickly with two more runs in the bottom of the third to make it a 6-4 contest. With one out, Myers singled to center and then moved to second when junior designated hitter Jeremy Gillan was hit by a pitch. Simmons followed with a single through the right side to score Myers and Lopez put a squeeze bunt up the first base line to score Gillan from third.
JU added another run in the bottom of the fourth when Hawkins scored on a wild pitch. Hawkins led off the inning with a single up the middle, for his first collegiate hit, and then advanced to second on a sacrifice by Ferreira. After moving to third on a ground out to second by Fleming, Hawkins scored easily when Carmine Giardina's pitched bounced short in front of home plate.
The Dolphins made it 10-4 in the bottom of the sixth when Fleming hit an RBI bunt single, Gillan hit an RBI single and Ferreira scored on another Knight error. Hawkins led off the inning with a walk and then stole second. Ferreira advanced him to third with a sacrifice but reached on a fielding error by Giardina on the play. With one out, Gillan laced a single to left to score Hawkins and then Ferreira scored on the play when Arnold's throw from left sailed up the third base line.
The Knights made it 10-5 in the top of the seventh when Siebenaler drove in a run with a ground out to short.
JU will take a day off before returning to Atlantic Sun Conference action against Belmont this weekend at John Sessions Stadium. The three-day series will begin on Friday at 6:30 p.m. The series can be seen live through ASun.TV on JUDolphins.com.

Law enforcement officers in Alpharetta and Forsyth County spent Saturday actively searching for a man they said robbed a convenience store.A spokesperson for the Alpharetta Police Department told FOX 5 News that they believe Kennth Battle robbed a BP convenience store on Windward Parkway before fleeing into Forsyth County. This prompted a day-long search by air and on the ground with police K9 units. Forsyth County deputies went door-to-door of more than 400 homes."There is someone that was, that they were looking for that had an AK-47 and he was armed and dangerous," said Forsyth County Sheriff Duane Piper.Residents woke up to helicopters overhead and deputies saturating neighborhoods starting around 3:30 a.m. Saturday. More than 60 officers and deputies searched four separate subdivisions in south Forsyth County.Police say the 19-year-old Battle was with another man when they robbed the store at gunpoint and drove off. The clerk was able to get the tag number the Jeep in which they drove away."We went to the house where the tag was registered to. The address is up here in Forsyth County," said Sheriff Piper.The sheriff said they found one of the 19-year-old suspects at the house along with two cash registers and a lock box, but Battle seemed to have slipped away."We had dogs, Alpharetta SWAT team, our SWAT team and K9 units on the ground. The helicopter was using infrared," said Sheriff Piper.The active search for Battle ended about 14 hours after it began, but authorities said they will turn this over to detectives because they want to bring Battle to justice.

In an auto-generated file, in particular files generated by the ui designer, include files are put in a certain order. The problem with the generated order is, that this order is contrary to a number of published recommendations for including .h files in .cpp files.
The worst problem is that a given xxx.cpp file should include it's own xxx.h file as the first file.

NEW YORK — More than 1,000 miles from Washington, D.C., Marie DeNicola's small business is already experiencing the consequences of lawmakers' inability to compromise on the budget.
If Democrats and Republicans don't come to a consensus soon, billions of dollars in tax increases and budget cuts will take effect Jan. 1. This fiscal cliff is hurting DeNicola's company, Mainstream Boutique, a Minneapolis chain of 23 franchise stores that sell women's clothes. DeNicola recently got a painful e-mail from a prospective franchisee who changed her mind about opening a store because of the economic and political uncertainties.

Japan's Fighting and Entertainment Group (FEG) has announced that WAMMA lightweight champion Shinya Aoki is set to do battle with DREAM 2008 lightweight grand prix winner Joachim Hansen for the promotions Lightweight strap at 'DREAM 10' from the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama Japan, on July 20.
This will be the third showdown between the pair.
Their first meeting would go down at 'Pride Shockwave 2006' which would see "Hellboy" succumb to the ground game of the "Tobikan Judan" and become part of the ever growing highlight reel of Aoki's by being victimized via gogoplata.
However the second encounter would go a little differently.
They would end up facing off again in the DREAM Lightweight Tournament Final at 'DREAM 5' last July.
Aoki was trying to work his ground game as usual, when Hansen decided he wanted no part of it and got back to his feet and threw a earth shattering left punch to the jaw of the still grounded Aoki. This would leave him dazed and prepped for more punishment courtesy of some nasty strikes forcing the referee to jump in and save the helpless victim.
Now a rubber match is in place for one of the combatants to get the upper hand on the scorecard.
Hansen, who once said he would rather have bleeding hemorrhoids than fight for the UFC, hasn't competed since his last clash with Aoki in the summer of 08.
He was set to throw down with highly regarded Lightweight standout Gesias "JZ" Calvancante in a non-title bout at 'FieLDS Dynamite!! 2008' on New Years Eve until Hansen failed pre-fight medicals and was forced to pull out of the fight with a mysterious "head injury" just hours before the event.
Now it appears he's back to full fitness and ready to scrap come 'DREAM 10'.
Aoki on the other hand has been keeping relatively busy, making quick work on the ground against the likes of Eddie Alvarez (16-2) and David Gardner (16-11) in recent months.
He would end up running into a wall last month at 'DREAM 8' when in a misguided attempt to move up to Welterweight, Aoki was knocked out cold in a mere 27 seconds by Hayato Sakurai thanks to some vicious ground and pound and deadly knees from "Mach."
That setback hasn't appeared to put him off from seeking out larger opponents, since he is set to collide with Fedor Emelianenko (30-1) at M-1 Challenge on April 29 in Tokyo, Japan — despite being separated by four weight classes.
Of course this time Aoki won't have to worry about any strikes being thrown to his temple as his bout with Emelianenko will be a special five minute grappling exhibition.
'DREAM 10' will also play host to the semifinals of their Welterweight Grand Prix, which will feature Hayato Sakurai and also jiu-jitsu phenom Andre Galvao.
Here is the current line-up for 'DREAM 10':

Volleyball returns to the road (again) Friday
The JU volleyball team has nine road matches down, but seven to go as they head to Statesboro, Ga., Friday for the Spring Hill Suites Invitational.
The Dolphins (1-8), who open the season with 16 straight road matches, begin the tourney against Savannah State at noon and play South Alabama at 5 p.m. On Saturday, they will wrap the tourney against Wisconsin at 10 a.m. and host Georgia Southern in the evening at 6 p.m.
The schedule looks like a snafu but it's something first-year head coach Michelle Collier inherited and definitely didn't plan. Despite the slate, Collier is trying to make the best of the situation.
"It's very tough being away from home," Collier said. "It has been tough being away from our students and the atmosphere we can get from a home crowd. This schedule promotes a bigger challenge than what we expected, but it's making us a stronger and better team. We are going to take the good out of it and move on from it."
Since camp, Collier and the JU coaching staff have made sure the squad knows how tough this challenge would be and it would have to an "us against the world" mentality.
"We told them from the beginning there was going to be no easy match," Collier said. "Nothing was going to be handed to us. We were going to play very tough opponents away from home. The team has reacted well for everything. The adversity is playing on the road for so long and playing very strong opponents and getting beat up on a little bit. But they have kept their heads high, kept fighting and we have gotten better and better at every tournament which has been our goal from the beginning."
The Dolphins showed some of the improvement last weekend rallying from a 2-0 deficit to beat Louisiana-Lafayette for their first win in the final match of the Active Ankle Challenge.
Freshman Gabriela Roman registered 20 kills and 10 digs in only her third match of the season to lead the JU offense. Freshman Sammie Strausbaugh had 12 kills en route to earning all-tournament honors, while junior Kendall Courtney hit 50 assists for the third time this season.
Like Collier, Courtney knows in the long run a road stretch like this is beneficial when they finally hit the home court Sept. 28.
"I definitely think it will make us tougher because we have played really difficult opponents," Courtney said. "Even though the results don't show it, we have worked really hard and learned a lot. It's been a hard preseason, but we have gotten a lot stronger and we are going to be even better now when we finally have a home game."
The road trips have allowed the Dolphins for a lot of team bonding in the vans with Karaoke sessions of NSYNC. They have also built their relationships through the hours spent at the visiting hotels and the team meals. Through it all, Collier believes it will benefit the Dolphins down the road.
"They are a good group," Collier said. "They have fun being around each other so I think it's been good for our team building, especially with having a couple of new players and players who haven't had a lot of match experience. Having this time to bonding on the road is going to make them a little stronger mentally than having it at home.
"When you have this situation in front of you, it's all about how you look at it and how you approach it. It is what it is and we couldn't change it so we are going to play the team we have to on the road and let's make the best of us this and make sure we grow and get better. We have to put ourselves into the best situation we can before conference. That's what we have going for us. We have needed to make the best out of this situation and I think we have."
Hopefully the Dolphins will have a chance to make one or two opponents go 'Bye, Bye Bye' this weekend in Statesboro.

This just got forwarded to me from a buddy in the DA office.
Hope Scott can figure things out before something really bad happens...
NEWPORT BEACH - A former Angels baseball player was charged yesterday with hit-and-run and driving under the influence of alcohol after a night of drinking in Newport Beach.
Scott Spiezio, 35, Irvine, is charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, driving with a blood alcohol of .08 percent or more, hit and run with property damage, aggravated assault, battery, and assault. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of two years in prison. A $10,000 warrant has been issued for his arrest.
At approximately 12:20 a.m. on December 30, 2007, Spiezio is accused of leaving a bar in Newport Beach after spending the evening drinking several vodka drinks. He is accused of getting into his 2004 BMW and attempting to drive home while under the influence of alcohol.
Spiezio is accused of speeding, cutting across several lanes, crossing through the oncoming traffic lanes, driving over a curb, and crashing into a fence. The crash knocked down a fence pole and blew out the front two tires of the car. Spiezio is accused of getting out of the car and fleeing the scene on foot.
The defendant is accused of running to his Irvine condominium complex and going to a friend's condo, who lived in the same complex. While his friend attempted to clean up the defendant, Spiezio is accused of vomiting in his friend's room. When the friend made a comment about the vomit, Spiezio is accused of becoming angry and attacking his friend, punching him repeatedly and throwing him against a wall.

Deputy District Attorney Vanessa Woods is prosecuting this case.

1. Big Nog's Arm Will Dematerialize - In a fantastic display of preschool-like stubbornness, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira allowed Frank Mir to break his arm. Nothing says, "I'm tougher than you" than letting a guy lay on top of you and manually change which hand you sign your name with! After trying to come back too soon "Big Nog" had to pull out of a fight at UFC 149. There's a good chance his desire to fight in Brazil is causing him to come back too soon.FAN BONUS: We will all be treated a HD view of what a grown mans arm disintegrating looks it.
2. The Crowd Will Chant Death Threats to Stephan Bonnar - Okay, this one isn't "likely" to happen. It's downright guaranteed to happen! The Brazilian crowd, at UFC events, have been known to chant blunt sentiments. At the weigh ins for UFC 148 they were chanting encouraging things like, "You're gonna die" to Chael Sonnen. While a bit mean spirited, Chael earned those remarks. However, you may hear similar things chanted to Stephan Bonnar. Not in a trash talking sort of way--they may be, sincerely, warning Stephan Bonnar to take a dive in his bout against Anderson Silva.
3. Anderson Silva Will Get Beat and the Crowd Will Riot - Okay, who am I kidding? There's no way Anderson loses this fight for two reasons:
1) There's no way a just God can give Jon Jones an opportunity to say, "See, that's why you don't take short notice fights."
2) It's STEPHAN BONNAR!!!
Don't get me wrong, I like the guy as a personality and ambassador for the sport, but I don't see any scenario where Stephan eeks out a win here. As for the riot, after watching their countryman and arguably the greatest fighter of all time separate an American from his consciousness, there's a really good chance some cars will be overturned and the Octagon will be dismantled. These things happen in Brazil...
4. Dana White Dies of Sun Poisoning - After Dana's recent sun poisoning incident where he looked like a human version of Bob the Tomato, I'm hoping his handlers pack him some SPF 4000. If not, we may have to add White to the list of those affected by the injury pandemic!
5. Everyone Will Get Injured - Call me a cynic, but I'm not convinced that some delusional 90's figure skating fan won't go around and club each fighter on this card, cancelling it entirely, and leaving us with a press conference where Dana White calls Ed Soares a sport killer. Now if you'll excuse me, my hat needs some more tinfoil.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Several Peoria City Council members are voicing their concerns and opposition to selling the Peoria Stadium site to Wal-Mart.
Although it was not on the council agenda, Tuesday night council members took the opportunity to bring up the issue given the growing concerns among citizens.
Councilman Tim Riggenbach represents the district and told city staff a list of growing questions he has including traffic, local businesses and neighborhood impacts.
"Arguably the stadium has seen better day, but I'm not going to be the one moving forward to change that use, until the citizens--the people of our city--have that opportunity for public engagement," said Councilman Riggenbach.
At-Large Council member Gary Sandberg directed the City manager to not even waste his time in meetings regarding a sale of the land to Wal-Mart or any big box store.
"I'm not interested in at all getting involved with purchase for a resale to a developer for a big box," said Council member Sandberg.
Tuesday night, the council approved $1.3 million in funding to fix the intersection of Allen and Alta Roads that was damaged by the April floods.
City officials hope to have the road open by mid-September.

Captain Kathryn Janeway...why she is probably my favorite StarFleet Captain
Simply put, Kathryn Janeway is heart and soul of Voyager....and perhaps even of Star Trek itself.
Scientist, explorer, diplomat, pragmatist. She always flexed her intellectual muscles at every opportunity. She would assist science officers and scientific endeavors frequently, giving her a rather hands-on approach to many missions and conundrums. Janeway had an almost insatiable curiosity in the finest traditions of Federation explorers.
And ONLY Captain Kathryn Janeway could combine a StarFleet and Maquis crew, forge alliances with The Borg, have easy going relations with Q, assuage the fears of Species 8472 (In The Flesh is one of my favorite Voyager episodes), liberate a Borg drone and make her a valuable member of the crew, and, of course, get her crew home from a potentially decades long journey from the Delta Quadrant back to the Alpha Quadrant.
Kate Mulgrew portrayed Janeway with such subtlety and restraint of emotions that would've overwhelmed a lesser character. One of my alltime favorite scenes in Voyager (and again, in the whole of Star Trek) is the scene where she confronts Tuvok after he led a disobient mission to acquire technology that could allow Voyager to get home much sooner than plain old warp drive would allow. In that scene, you could see that Kathryn was just on the cusp of crying, she was so distraught at Tuvok's disobedience. Mulgrew played it right to the cuff, and basically let the audience feel the emotion that Janeway so wanted to express.
I loved how she actually managed to get along with Q. A couple of episodes ended with Janeway and Q sharing a laugh of sorts. When Q presented his baby to Janeway, and showed his nurturing side, and the look of approval and the smile on Janeway's face....sublime.
Janeway bore pressures upon her that would've emotionally and perhaps mentally crushed a less resolute being. It is one thing for the captain of a starship to of course be concerned for the welfare and safety of his/her crew....but Janeway had to bear that responsibility a hundred fold, for they were tens of thousands of light years from home....decades away at the best warp speeds Voyager could manage. If she lost a crew member out in the Delta Quadrant, there were no StarFleet facilities from which to recruit new personnel.
The growing friendship between Janeway and Chakotay was vital to her effectiveness as a starship commander. With the wisdom of Tuvok at one side, and the sensitivities and sensibilities of Chakotay on the other, there was little that Janeway could not accomplish.
Janeway had this knack of being able to make a crewmember regret a bad move without having to resort to emphatic dressing down. Her disappointment alone was often enough to sway a wayward crewman back to straightening up and flying right.
She still tried to live up to the spirit and dictates of The Prime Directive, even though they were far from StarFleet Command and The Federation. Ultimately, the decisions to violate the PD were difficult, but once she committed to a course of action, she saw it through unless a better solution presented itself.
Kathryn Janeway, to me, represents the finest of StarFleet's officer corps, and among the finest of humanity.

Noah Lessing I'm trying to remember. Must've been an ep I haven't seen yet...thanks for the spoiler.
Ah, Tuvix. Yes, that could not have been an easy decision for Janeway. She made the tough calls, and has to live with them. And being alone in the Delta Quadrant, yeah, I'd dare she had to make the toughest calls of any StarFleet Captain.
I don't think there is a clear cut morally correct decision to make in the Tuvix case. What of her responsibility to Tuvok and Neelix?
I think that both NCC and Tom are right. Janeway did kill Tuvix and of course murder is normally wrong ... but being all alone in the Delta Quadrant and in dire need of two crewmembers is anything but normal.
What I liked about the episodes is that it did not pretend that there is an easy or natural solution.
Sometimes folks who discuss it go down that road (in order to rationalize for whom they are siding) and claim e.g. that Tuvix is a freak, a kind of involuntary and innocent vampire who sucked two people into him and cannot be allowed to live on as he would be a constant reminder of the people he swallowed up. But it is not his fault, there was no agency involved, it was just an accident.
The other argument would be something like murder is always wrong, Tuvix is an intelligent lifeform and his rights may not be violated and so on. But what about the rights of the people who died when he was born and who can be resurrected when he dies?
Neither Tuvix' birth nor Tuxok's and Neelix death are natural. Of course they constitute an accident that happened in nature, it was some kind biological symbiosis with the flower or whatever, but this accident is not natural in the sense of normal or not supposed to be potentially interfered with.
I like stories in which people have to make radically contingent decisions, i.e. cannot rely on anything. There is no floor underneath Janeway, she is out there all on her own and whatever she does will be her act and her guilt until the end of her days.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam
Her actions in Equinox (this spoiler came 14 years after the episode aired, can't be sorry for that XD) were inexcusable.

She was a bit too zealous in Equinox but then again she often wavered between being a caring mother figure and a Rambo captain.
It did not work ... but then again we have to keep in mind that a paradigmatic captain like Picard would not have worked for a ship that is stranded in the Delta Quadrant either.
Back to Equinox, I do not really have a problem with a Starfleet officer who is willing to get her hands dirty to deal with fellow officers who broke some basic rules (not to mention that it is always refreshing to see somebody, even if it is just a fictional character, who has the cojones to fu*k the corps spirit and go after wrongdoers in her own organization).
Principles matter and Janeway is well aware that without dogmatism (and a harsh implementation of this dogmatism) her crew could very well go down the Equinox road.
Don't get me wrong, I am sympathetic to your standard liberal human rights perspective. But I think one of its naive implicit assumptions is that people are normally decent so all you gotta do is forbid them from doing bad things and punishing them mildly when they do it.
This might be indeed so when you are well off but we are not in Kansas anymore, the VOY is far away from home, short on resources and constantly meeting not-so-friendly folks. When you are in deep sh*t your ethics will be questioned sooner or later and you can either deal with that cynically, pragmatically or dogmatically. I am for dogmatism whereas you are for pragmatism (and I hope nobody is a cynic).
You can also read this through the Exodus story. God doesn't provide 10 rules and the Israelites say "OK, this makes sense, let's do it". No, they do at first not like these rules and have to be forced to follow them.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?"

To Horatio's point about human nature, I think Quark shows he has some insight into humans
Then again, there might be folks here who haven't even watched a single ep of Voyager, so my write up on Janeway is full of spoilers...so for that, we both can be sorry.
In the case of Tuvix, to me the moral decision would have been to let Tuvix decide his own fate once the option became available. Janeway should have honored his decision, and Tuvix should have been on board for one or two more episodes, with Tuvok and Neelix giving him advice or even tormenting him (perhaps shown as little versions of themselves levitating near his head and talking into his ears (as with Archer in In a Mirror, Darkly before having Mayweather shoot the admiral. And the next time Tuvix beamed down to a planet on an away mission, he would (surprise, surprise) mysteriously materialize as Tuvok and Neelix. Keeping Tuvix as a regular was out of the question, since Tuvok and Neelix would still have to be showing talking in his head from time to time, ending up costing the studio more money in the long run.

vacation rental description
A great little vacation home for anyone who loves the Blue Ridge
Mountains! This adorable cottage is on the banks of the Linville River, which is amply stocked with delicious mountain trout! Rest on the back porch and listen to the river flow by, or hop down to fish and relax on a huge rock in the middle of the river. Spacious, level grounds surrounding the cottage provide lots of safe play spaces for families.
Linville River Cottage is attractively decorated and comfortably furnished, with a fully equipped kitchen and many extras to enhance your visit. You'll be cozy in a full-sized bed; a sleeper sofa in the spacious living room faces a stone wood-burning fireplace... offering sleeping for two more adults or the kids (firewood available). Satellite TV with DVR!
The kitchen will appeal to any cook, with a farmhouse sink, dishwasher, garbage disposal, coffee maker, microwave, food processor, and more -- even a picnic basket! The bathroom offers a shower, and a washer/dryer.
Linville River Cottage is located in a small community of similar homes, about three miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway (mp 317) and the little mountain village of Linville Falls. There you'll find beautiful 90' waterfalls, many trails, caverns, picnic grounds, and Linville Gorge, a hiker's paradise. Other towns just a few miles away include Newland (the highest county seat east of the Rockies!), Linville, Banner Elk, and Spruce Pine. Several ski resorts, golf courses, riding stables, and many other attractions and activities can be found within 30-45 minutes. You can spend the day with the beauty and solitude of the forests and rivers, and still have time for dinner in a fine restaurant, or shop for that special artwork or antiques. This is a great central location for your High Country vacation!

you have a solid point. and i hope you're right. and, in addition to what you wrote, there's probably over three percent in each state that won't vote for the ticket because of his Mormonism.
yeah, i'm a little concerned about Romney as well. If no Romney, I fully expect O will carry Nevada and Colorado. But both of those states, especially Nevada, have a not insignificant Mormon vote.
larger than the leads Obama has in his states. Thus, nationally it can be tied with Obama still way ahead in the EC.
on a comment on US Shifting Blue over 6 years ago
something tells me that a lot of the registered independents out in the country are far lefties sick of the center-right Democratic Party.
I was one for a while...until the primaries of 2004 so I could vote fro Dean.
comment on a post A Tied Up Tossup in Minnesota over 6 years ago
Well, then, let's not have any more elections ever in the future. richmond199 can just look into his crystal ball as a swami and tell us what will happen. thank you, richmond199!!! voting is a pain in the ass!
i know the debbie downer, pearl-clutchers like richmond199. you have to swat them off like the little annoying gnats they are. you had plenty of richmond199s who said the same things about Jim Webb (people like richmond199 thought he wouln't win and the only one who would win was Harris Miller) and Jon Tester (the richmond199s of the world though Tester had no chance and the only way to win was if Morrison got nominated.
people like richmond199 never learn. go away. you annoy me.
on a comment on The racial graph over 6 years ago
Exactly. If this guy can hear views of AA nationalists in the mold of Malcolm X and also hear ra ra ra Americana stories about his white grandfather fighting in a segregated Army in WWII and being a hero, then isn't that the very embodiment of "bridging the racial divide"?
on a comment on The racial graph over 6 years ago
I sooo have to respond to this statement by you. And I have left this site for a while because of the extremism in supporters of various candidates.
I am Latino male married to a white male in Boston. Both my spouse and I actually liked Obama more AFTER these revelations. My spouse is a Hillary person, whilst I am an Obamaman. But he actually said he is more inclined to support Barack now because we both understand that there are two Americas and the majority of whites really give less than a shit about the plight of blacks, gays, and latinos. There, I said it!
I am a person who works in a mainstream professional setting. And many people would be shocked at some of my personal beliefs. HIV being a gov't created disease being among them.
My point is exactly what you have made: being able to see and hear sermons of issues that are de rigeur in the AA community and being able to compartmentalize them and move on to serious issues makes me think of Obama as MORE of a mature, responsible man who is able to lead America and not be swayed by zealots on many fronts.
on a comment on What's wrong with Keith Olbermann? over 6 years ago
hey, Chelsea's fair game in the political arena once she injected herself into the election. When a diarist motherfucks Keith Olbermann using his wife as his main reason/weapon, then, yeah, like Chelsea, she's not above even being commented about. Geez.
on a comment on What's wrong with Keith Olbermann? over 6 years ago
I'm glad I'm not married to some holier-than-thou sanctimonious person like that.
People like your wife, being meek, have ensured GOP victories since 1994. She's certainly no pillar of virtue.
She leaves the room? oooooooooo, that's profound.
on a comment on Romney To Endorse McCain; McCain To Give Up Seat? over 6 years ago
rumor is Grant Woods will be appointed and will bow out by 2010, paving the way for Janet.
you as well. I remember disagreeing with you on stuff (i think you may be more moderate than i am...me being far left and all), but you were always respectful and objective.
i always tried to separate my comment into two categories, depending on the diary/topic: 1) advocacy, 2) political analysis. Many people here hate objective political analysis if it doesn't conform to their worldview and/or their favorite candidate.
yeah, i am leaving a site i have been going to for five years because my candidate lost a caucus in Nevada?
are you nuts?
thanks. and the sig seems to describe most of the hillbots here. why don't they attack REPUBLICANS with the same amount of venom that they do the Obama and Edwards people here.
Look at my history. I have defended Hillary against attacks here for YEARS. Before YOU were here.
I resent you calling me a woman hater. See, this is exhibit A in what I am talking about. I jumped from supporting Hillart because of Mark Penn, Terry McAuliffe and Lee Feinstein also Harold Ford becoming Chairman of the DNC upon a Clinton victory.
I've even told of how my own mother resembles Hillary in an uncanny way. Looks just like her and they are similar in age and my mom was/is a bigtime feminist. I doubt I would be a misogynist being raised by such a person.
yeah, I saw yours after I had hit submit on mine.
How long have you been here? I have been posting consistently for the past five years. Since the Dean phenomenon in 2003.
I doubt I'll be back. And I don't just whistle dixie. When I am done, I am done. No one will see me back here after this diary.
I am not happy about it because you get attached to a site like this when you've been posting for years.

I bought this hand blender to blend soups on the stove without having to pour into the regular blender. It worked great, and blended the soup easily. I love the handy bag that came along with it, and the easy to use attachments. I am very happy with the purchase, and wish I had bought it a few years ago! It was highly rated by cooking magazines. I got the best price on Overstock.com.
I love my new blender. The attachments allow me to do many things.
Very versatile. Takes a little to get use to but once you have the need, it's super fast. Your imagination will do the work as well. Just don't put the large adapter, I forget the name of the part but it looks like a horn mute, in the dishwasher (like they advise). It will retain a little water. Unsure if will damage internal shaft. Time will tell. *better to read instructions before you use ;).

Police said a resident reported being contacted and asked to make an appointment to have a medical system installed.
When the person said no such system had been purchased, the caller said the device was on order and must have been bought by a loved one or someone concerned about the persons safety.
Police say the caller continued to ask for an installation date and other information.
Authorities are warning residents to be cautious of telephone calls from people they dont know. They say the callers are often trying to make money or get personal or banking information.MORE IN This Just InTOWNSHEND — A 26-year-old Townshend man shot his off-again, on-again girlfriend late...

Sexy!!! These janes are fantastic! I love an ankle fit jean and the zippers on the sides are a great detail. These jeans hug your curves and make your legs look miles long. I am 5'3, but wearing these jeans with some heels, I feel like I stand out in a crowd. Buy these jeans, your butt will thank you!!! July 28, 2014
Great Jeans I'm wearing mine for the first time today and definitely love the comfort and fit. I had to go a size down because they are stretchy. Overall, a great pair of go-to jeans! June 26, 2014
Fit Like a Glove I was a little skeptical when I first ordered these because I typically lean toward more classic clothes styles, but these fit like a glove and are very slimming. I am 5'8", 125 lbs and ordered a size 4, which fit perfectly. If you're debating, I would order a size down because these definitely stretch. June 16, 2014
Comfortable and stylish I am actually wearing these as I type. I love the zipper on the side. I don't actually have to unzip it to fit over my foot, but it adds something to the jean. These are great for the summer, but I know that I will be able to wear through the winter as well with boots June 13, 2014
Fit Great! These jeans are super cute, I am 5'9 and ~140 lbs and bought a size 6, since they are too short for me I wear them as crops instead of ankle pants since you can unzip them and they still look really good. June 7, 2014
Cute but were too long I'm 5'2'' and these fit me like regular length pants so I sent them back. They were comfortable and the zippers were cute but unfortunately they were too long to be "ankle" pants for me. Wish these came in petite sizes! June 4, 2014
Awesome Fit Love the way I look in these Jeans. Wear it to work and it will fit right in....very stylish.... June 4, 2014
Fav Jeans I love these jeans! They fit true to size (12) and have the perfect amount of stretch, so they don't get baggy after they are worn all day. The denim is a gorgeous dark color and the zipper detail gives them a little edge. I highly recommend these pants and hope they come in more colors soon! May 22, 2014

Sam Worthington all the way! I can't wait to see him as Perseus in "Clash of the Titans". Just a little FYI: He was born in Britain and moved to Australia when he was still a kid. So yeah, his accent's Aussie. I think it's safe to assume that not all Aussies speak with the stereotypical accent.

Once again, a fair race because there are no Vampire folk (and I'm only referring to the Twilight/New Moon peeps). Nice to see all these fresh and new faces. I look forward to seeing more from all of them in the future. My heart... er I mean vote goes to Cory Monteith. Not only because he grew up in the same town I live in but he's so easy to watch, lots of talent from this Canadian boy. Bryan Greenberg was a very close second.

I can't believe that people are complaining about Robert Pattinson not being on the list. He was on the list LAST year and WON. Just read the first line. New blood. Seeing Pattinson's face plastered everywhere for the past year is certainly not new blood, which is most likely why he isn't on the list. Some of you people need to chill a little bit. It's just a poll. It doesn't mean it's the end of the world. And sure, you could argue that some of the people on the list have been around for a while and aren't new blood, but they haven't really had the kind of breakout that Robert Pattinson has had and that's why they're on the list. Anyway, I voted for Dave Franco. I thought he was adorable on Privileged and he's hilarious on Scrubs.
4 years
Sam Worthington. There's just something so yummy and sorta intense about him. Was Bryan Greenberg in something big recently? I'm a fan from his One Tree Hill days, so I'd like to see more of him. Don't want to see more of the Glee guy or Sean Faris. Both bug me. They are not attractive to me, but are cast as such and the Glee guy seems so stupid (it's prolly cuz his character is supposed to be, but he pulls it off too well, it's really unattractive).

Bryan Greenberg, I've really liked him since a while ago, but for some reason he never really broke through. I always saw him as the non-nerdy version of Topher Grace, I thought he would be a shoe-in in every romantic comedy/drama.

umm #28 I'm very confused. Kristen is 19 (almost 20) and rob is 23. whats the problem? they're four years apart ... that's nothing! Tom cruise is 16 years older than katie and brad is 12 years older than angelina. Demi is 15 years older than ashton. You may find it weird but it's not unusal at all, I mean really, in love, age is just a number and four is a very small one.

I voted for Cory... as i'm hooked on Glee... but i would have liked to have either seen Alexander Skarsgard on the list or an option for "all of the above". These guys are great actors who are getting overshadowed by lesser actors who just happen to make it into a popular movie. Just because you're in one doesn't mean you can act....

I wish I could pick OTHER. I would pick Charlie Hunnam (Jax) from Sons of Anarchy. LOVE HIM!!!

Sam Worthington was by far the best part of Avatar. He was the only thing that made it bearable for me! He's a cutie.

With Clash of the Titans about to be released I'm sure we're going to see Sam Worthington quite a bit, but I have to agree with little k I want to see more Alexander Skarsgard.
