If youre considering taking a bootcamp with Future, go ahead and sign up. This was one of the most fun weekends Ive had in a long time. I never thought Id shell out the cash for a bootcamp, but a rough breakup at the beginning of the year left me in a low spot. Ive been going out a lot and practicing, but I figured a bootcamp was the quickest solution to get a formulated game plan for building this skill set.
Future Bootcamp- Washington, DC, July 2012
I was lucky enough to have a seminar of great students. Tenmagnet also instructed. It was a real treat to have two of the most experienced dating coaches in the business at our fingertips.
I probably cant say enough amazing things about Future. He may be the most charismatic person Ive ever met. Hes extremely passionate about the success of his students, and hilariously funny. He bonded closely with all of the students, and I felt like Id made a close friend by the end of the weekend. He was dead-set on helping me achieve my goals. Hes got a vast reservoir of knowledge to pull from, and he did an amazing job of communicating it clearly and keeping everything easy to understand. His big 10 is absolutely amazing, and Id advise anyone interested in success with women to scour his blogtheres tons of amazing knowledge on there.
Tenmagnet was also great. He was hilarious as well and we were lucky to have him help out on seminar on Saturday. Both of the instructors were extremely easy to talk to and made the students feel very comfortable. They were excellent at providing useful feedback.
Seminar was packed with knowledge and useful techniques. It was in no way, shape, or form a re-hash of Magic Bullets. Future was patient with all of us, and answered any questions we had. He made sure we had the material down before moving on and covering additional topics. Tenmagnet did an awesome job of discussing storytelling, and gave some very useful feedback. Seminar contained useful exercises and demonstrations that helped a lot in the field.
The infield portion of the bootcamp was an absolute blast. I didnt get to spend as much time with the instructors as I would have liked to, but thats not a bad thing since I was constantly talking to women. From what I saw of Future I was very impressed. Hes excellent at capturing the attention of an entire group and he looks like the life of the party at all times. Both instructors did a great job of winging and making sure everybody was in set and having a great time. On both nights I had an absolute blast and learned a ton. The de-briefing the next afternoon was so helpful in identifying sticking points and working on a plan of action for the next time out.
I would recommend a Future bootcamp to anyone. I feel like a changed man. Im filled with a lot of optimism about the next year of my life. Ive got a ton of useful notes to go over and a solid plan of action for the next year. It was an awesome weekend. If youre considering taking a bootcamp, do it! Future is an excellent coach and Im wondering how much more meaning this bootcamp will have to me six months down the road. I dont even think I can get a grasp on how helpful it was right now.
Thanks for a great bootcamp Future.

The Beacon
Google Earth Tour of a More Acidic World
Above is a good primer on ocean acidification narrated by Dan Laffoley of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The video spans the vulnerable corals of Australia's Great Barrier Reef to the equally vulnerable shellfish industry of the Pacific Northwest, detailing the potential effects of a more acidic ocean.
To those unfamiliar with global warming's "evil twin", the video does a good job of explaining the basics of ocean acidification: simply put, carbon dioxide reacts with ocean water to make carbonic acid. The ocean absorbs about a quarter of civilization's carbon dioxide emissions, and as a result they are now 30 percent more acidic than before the industrial revolution. What does this mean for animals like clams, corals, or oysters that rely on a more stable pH range to build their calcium carbonate skeletons and shells?
Mother nature has provided some of her own experiments, as documented in the video. Near Vesuvius in the Mediterranean carbon dioxide bubbles up from below, rendering a glimpse in to a future, more acidic, and bleaker ocean. Closer to the vents, where the water is more saturated with carbon dioxide, the communities of life become less diverse and invasive algaes thrive.
Off of Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is already struggling in the new man-made environment. As more and more acidic water continues to erode the corals in the coming decades, these ecosystems of otherworldly beauty and diversity could simply go extinct.
Perhaps most worrisome of all is the effect of acidification on pteropods, a shell forming plankton at the very bottom of the ocean's food web, nicknamed the "potato chips of the sea". These animals are especially vulnerable to acidification, and as the narrator ominously intones: "If their shells dissolve a critical part of the food web dissolves with them".
Learn more about ocean acidification and what you can do to help.

Cubs ink Koskie to Minor League deal
Infielder to join club after Team Canada concludes Classic play
MESA, Ariz. -- The Cubs and infielder Corey Koskie have agreed to terms on a Minor League contract, and he will join the team after Team Canada is finished playing in the World Baseball Classic.
Koskie, 35, is a career .275 hitter and has played for Minnesota, Toronto and Milwaukee. A left-handed hitter, he has not been in the big leagues since 2006. On July 5 of that year in Milwaukee, he fell chasing a fly ball and suffered a concussion.
Terms of the contract were not disclosed, but if Koskie does not make the Cubs' Opening Day roster, he has agreed to go to Triple-A Iowa for a minimum of 30 games if needed.
"He can back up at third, back up at first, hit off the bench," Cubs general manager Jim Hendry said. "Why not?"
Koskie still has to pass a physical with the Cubs, but did get approved to play for Team Canada.
The Cubs have the majority of their roster set but are looking for backup help at third base and at first. A left-handed bat, Koskie batted a career-best .310 in 1999 with the Twins, hitting 11 homers and 21 doubles.

By J. Bonasia, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
As chief technology officer for Deloitte Consulting, Mark White studies the ever-shifting market for information technology.
White works on information technology (IT) projects with chief information officer clients at financial services, real estate, tech, energy and transportation companies worldwide. He's also a senior technology partner for the firm's Department of Homeland Security account.
White predicts many disruptive and emerging technologies will have a major market impact over the next 18 months. He breaks them into "re-emerging enablers" and "disruptive deployments."
Deloitte's "Tech Trends 2011: The Natural Convergence of Business and IT" report came out on March 21 and is online at deloitte.com/us/2011techtrends.
"Our 2011 trends list plays significantly to the convergence of social and mobile computing — a convergence that is fundamentally changing how information is accessed and used in business operations and decision-making," White wrote in the report. He recently discussed the findings with IBD.
IBD: How do you define "re-emerging enablers"?
White: These are things that are not new to CIOs, but we believe something has happened that makes them deserve another look.
One re-emerging landscape involves cyber-intelligence, which looks at investments in information and security and privacy. Due north on this compass is detecting and preventing intrusions into your business and your network.
The west point on the compass adds cyberforensics, in which you figure out why and how the intrusion happened, to create greater understanding for your response.
Due east is cyberanalytics, which is predicting where the next break-ins might occur. Almost every enterprise is focused on cyber-security and this virtuous triangle I've described. But one more factor, at due south on the compass, is cyber-logistics. This includes physical security for your supply chain and your operations and personnel. We encourage clients to put these four points together to create cyber-intelligence.
IBD: How do cloud computing and mobile devices come into play?
White: We're facing a cultural change involving the next generation of the work force and the consumerization of IT. Younger workers expect their tools at work to be at least as good as at home.
The cloud and mobile computing are significant enabling technologies. Cloud-based mobility tools give CIOs new abilities to experiment. In fact, we believe they can give CIOs a seat at the head of the table to lead business growth and innovation by optimizing information assets for the business.
IBD: In what ways?
White: Analytics software, for example. In IT, we've had 30 years of process automation for what we need to do. But over the last couple years, there's been significant investment in information automation for what we need to know.
Traditionally, IBD's Computer Software-Medical group hasn't been a land of giants. With the automation of doctors' back offices being a fairly recent trend, the field has been a playland of startups, many of them having gone public within the last decade. But on Aug. 5, Cerner (NASDAQ:CERN), ...

Most recently, Intuit (NASDAQ:INTU) completed its purchase of bill-payment app provider Check for $360 million.

Zillow's marketing department, led by Chief Marketing Officer Amy Bohutinsky, has doubled in size over the past year. Bohutinsky has been with Zillow (NASDAQ:Z) since the company's start nine years ago. She worked with Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff at Hotwire before Zillow's founding. The company is ...

My mom wears shorts.
Like real shorts. Not bermudas. Shorts almost as short as my 20 years old sister's, whose shorts are so short that sometimes you can't really see them under her tee-shirts. All right, all right. Not that short. My mom is chic. And she wears her shorts on vacation.
But still.
I almost feel like I should revise my own shorts proportions.

Crampton: If SCOTUS Strikes Down DOMA, the Homosexual Agenda 'Will Eradicate Us'
The other day, Matt Barber and Steve Crampton of Liberty Counsel were discussing the Supreme Court's decision to hear arguments on Proposition 8 later this year, when Crampton warned that any decision to strike it down would put society "on the verge of total collapse."
The two followed that up with a discussion of the related decision to by the court to hear arguments over the Defense of Marriage Act, which both Barber and Crampton discussed in an equally reasonable fashion, with Barber warning that gay marriage will be the sledgehammer that crushes religious liberty in America while Crampton proclaimed that the homosexual agenda "will eradicate us and they will not stop until the homosexual totalitarian view of the world is forcefully imposed on every American":

Cyclist Gary Helfrich gauges how cold the winter morning is by how much his water bottle freezes as he pedals to work from the west county to Santa Rosa.
"So far this year there's been mostly a crust on it," he said, "but one time is was frozen all the way through."
As executive director of the Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition, Helfrich's preferred mode of transportation is no surprise, but his all-weather desire to go by bike might be, especially to those who think winter calls for staying cozy indoors.
"Most people think I'm nuts," said Helfrich who used to bicycle year-round in New England before moving here.
Helfrich is one of those winter people who doesn't let temperatures or precipitation get in the way of doing what they love. But how do such hardy souls stay healthy? And dry and warm?
Helfrich, who's found it's better to be wet than cold, opts for clothing designed for mountaineering and skiing over bicycling gear. That includes a jacket "that fits loose and flaps in the wind, which lets you layer up underneath." Plus thermal skiing underwear, which is "way cheaper than bike tights and a lot warmer." He wears a polypropylene beanie under his bike helmet to wick moisture, open-air sandals because they drain and polypropylene socks "that get soaked but will keep your feet warm."
"If you get cold, you're not wearing the right base layers," said Helfrich, who lives in Camp Meeker but cuts his winter commute short by starting in Graton.
"I don't have the nerve to ride Graton Road in the dark."
Santa Rosa dentist Conrad Block says winter is one of the best times to surf, which he does most weekends at Marin County's Dillon Beach.
In winter, he said, "the swells come in more frequently and are a little bigger, but the weather is often better for surfing because the wind is not up or is blowing offshore."

It's nigh on impossible for many of us to take a day or even a whole hour to ourselves so make of list of small activities you can do in 10 minutes that recharge you. It could be you sit for 10 minutes reading before going into the office, go for a walk around the block at lunchtime, schedule a 10 minute chat with a friend - whatever it is that sustains and rejuvenates you. Then when you can feel yourself in need of a quick pick me up - do one of your 10 minute recharges. try and work up to fitting in 3 per day - that's 30 minutes to yourself! Find creative ways to do it - come on, we can all find 10 minutes!"

Hi moms! Just to share with you, here is a stress reducer I use almost daily since this summer : it's a single app for iOS devices but is really a smart idea! Just like your mood lamp except you can bring it anywhere. I use to relax with it, my children love it, and you can even use it as a nightlight ! This is the 'lifesaver' part, it helped me more than once with children when not at home. I wish app developers have more often such good stuff to offer ! Enjoy and have a good day, Liliby lili2009 on 27th September 2012254Vote!

The Political And Economic Results In July 2013
AbstractIn July 2013, Russian opposition leader Aleksei Navalny was sentenced to fi ve years in prison. It appears, however, that he would be allowed – on procedural grounds, since no appeal hearing has been held yet – to run for mayor in mayoral elections in Moscow on September 8, 2013. A combination of Kremlin's decision to allow Navalny to run for mayor in the election and demonstration of the likelihood of his real imprisonment has made the upcoming Moscow mayoral elections highly politicized, boosted social activity, and may well result in problems for S. Sobyanin. With regard to the Navalny case itself, putting aside ethic ambiguity of the story about a timber trading company controlled by a friendly governor, it is technically another notorious confirmation of the fact that any business in Russia might just as well be criminalized through subjective evaluation of the 'fair value' by law enforcement authorities and courts. RAS (Russian Academy of Science) reform has been delayed as expected: the academic society has managed to come to President Putin's attention and gain certain concessions from him.

Cops are poking through the building, talking to the squatters. Angel notes that things don't look good for Tyke, and turns to offer a moral to Connor: "Violence just always ends up badly." And then he makes with the kicking, and Connor goes after another flunky. After some pummeling, Connor goes for Tyke and punches him on the ear. Or on the spot where his ear once was. You get the idea. The point is: ouch! Outside, the cops are approaching the room full o' fu-ing. Having completed his gratuitous violence, Angel suggests that it's time to go, but then Tyke grabs Connor and holds a gun at the ready. I don't know why Connor can't repeat the elbow trick he used on Angel here. Angel stops (un)dead, and tells Tyke, "Use me. I'm bigger." That seems like dialogue from a very different show. It turns out that Angel means he'd be a better shield against the cops. Phew. Speaking of the cops, that's when they start breaking through the door. Shouldn't they have started by identifying themselves and asking everyone to come out quietly? Oh, right: it's Los Angeles.
Connor breaks away as Tyke starts shooting through the walls at the cops, and the cops respond in kind. For a second there, it looks like Near Dark. But only for a second. Tyke and one flunky go on shooting away, and soon enough, one flunky gets hit. Tyke pauses to reload, at which point I realize he's got a revolver. Dude, get an automatic. Although it seems to have been pretty well established that Tyke's none too clever, or he would be trying to escape instead of thinking he could shoot his way past a dozen cops. Bullets smash through a window, which inspires Angel to view it as an escape route. Let's go over that again: he thinks the window that was just hit by several bullets is a safe way out. I worry about him. He tells Connor to go first, and maybe he's not that dumb after all. As Connor runs to the window, the cops finally burst in. And they're not wearing vests! Or helmets, or anything. Well, they're wearing uniforms, obviously. This ain't NYPD Blue. I guess the cops are as dumb as the drug dealers in this town. Connor is silhouetted in the window as a cop with a shotgun takes aim. Angel jumps up and blocks the shot. In slow motion. Again. That's a bit much. Although it's worth it for the part where you can see a mist of blood as he falls to the floor. Connor pauses to look down at Angel, and Tyke figures this is a good time to open fire on the dumb vestless cop. Angel tells Connor to get a move on, and finally leaps up and pulls Connor through the window with him. They escape into a convenient blipvert.

Here's what happened, according to the report: Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) furiously waved a printout from the Senate Conservatives Fund's website that blasted Ayotte and 24 other Senate Republicans for voting for cloture last week on a bill to keep the government funded.
The Senate Conservative Fund had followed the lead of Cruz, who has spearheaded the effort to defund the Affordable Care Act through the continuing resolution. Because those 25 Republican senators voted for cloture, they counted it as a "vote for Obamacare," since it allowed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to bring up an amendment stripping language from the bill that defunded Obamacare.
In the meeting, Ayotte reportedly asked Cruz to disavow the group's printout. He did not. Ayotte also asked him to provide a strategy going forward. He did not.
"It just started a lynch mob," senator who was present told the Times.
This goes back to Republican frustrations with Cruz, which have been brewing since mid-September. Republican senators and aides have been dismayed at the lack of a strategy and endgame from Cruz.
And now that his strategy appears to have failed, the frustrations have boiled over. A GOP aide not connected to the meeting explained it this way: If his strategy had worked, Cruz would take the credit. Now that it isn't, he's not going to take the blame.
He's going to pin that on Republican "defeatists," as he reportedly told the GOP senators in the meeting.

The River Palms Review
This 25-story tower offers terrific views from most rooms, but the two-level casino has an odd design with much space devoted to a gaping second-floor "cut-out" that allows you to peer below but involves much circling around and taking escalators between levels. There's a large bingo hall and a cozy live music venue, the 2700 Club. The coffee shop space has been leased out as a 24-hour Denny's, perhaps the only such Denny's with a river view. A steak house, The Lodge, is well-isolated from casino noise and also has river views.

The Daily Dolphin
Tag: Olivier Vernon
Miami Dolphins practice report: Injuries mount as defense dominates
- 11:29 am Monday, August 4th, 2014 by Hal Habib
Optimism following the team's intrasquad scrimmage over the weekend was tempered Monday morning when the Dolphins got back to work.
The defense dominated the offense, which committed five false starts and wasn't in sync.
But injuries and absences go a long way toward explaining the issues.
Before the workout even began, the Dolphins announced that five players would be missing multiple practices: QB Pat Devlin (hamstring), TE Charles Clay (knee), WR Stephen Williams (ankle), CB Jamil Brown (knee) and K Caleb Sturgis (groin).
Then things got worse.
Before long, TE Michael Egnew was seen entering the training facility, soon followed by DE Olivier Vernon. OL [More]
2012 "do-over" draft has Dolphins taking Alfred Morris, not Ryan Tannehill (vote for your selection)
- 5:59 pm Wednesday, April 16th, 2014 by Andrew Abramson
No, the NFL is not re-doing the 2012 Draft.
But that didn't stop NFL.com's Bucky Brooks from pretending.
In this re-do draft, Andrew Luck still goes No. 1 to the Colts, but Russell Wilson goes No. 2 to the Redskins and Robert Griffin III goes No. 5 to the Jaguars.
Instead of selecting Ryan Tannehill, the Dolphins take running back Alfred Morris with the No. 8 pick. Morris, a sixth-round pick in 2012, has been a huge surprise for Washington with nearly 3,000 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns in two seasons. But that's still very high for a running back to be selected in today's NFL.
"Sure, the NFL is a pass-centric league, but the teams built for the long haul have a solid running game intact," Brooks writes as the Dolphins select Morris.
Tannehill falls to Cleveland at No. 22. In real life, the Browns took Brandon Weeden with that pick. He's already been cut by the Browns and is now a back-up on Dallas.
Miami Dolphins' Olivier Vernon named AFC Defensive Player of the Week (w/Q&A video)
- 1:42 pm Wednesday, December 4th, 2013 by Andrew Abramson
Fresh off his three sack, six tackle performance against the Jets Dolphins defensive end Olivier Vernon has been named AFC Defensive Player of the Week.
The Dolphins defense dominated in New York, forcing the Jets to bench quarterback Geno Smith at halftime. Vernon was a big part of it, and he's continued to rise after a slow start to the season.
Vernon, a second-year player out of UM, leads the team with 10.5 sacks — 5.5 of them coming in the last three games (San Diego, Carolina and New York). Vernon previously was credited with 10 sacks, but on Wednesday he was awarded a full sack in the Jets game that was initially credited to both him and Philip Wheeler.
Vernon is the second Dolphins defensive end to win player of the week. Cam Wake won it after his game-winning safety in overtime against the Bengals.
Above you'll find Vernon taking about his breakout season, and below Cam Wake talks about Vernon's rise.
Dion Jordan grades higher than Olivier Vernon; how do other Miami Dolphins stack up?
- 11:41 pm Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013 by Andrew Abramson
Olivier Vernon is the talk of Miami's defense this week. He's recorded five sacks in the last three games against San Diego, Carolina and the Jets. He now leads the team with 10.5 sacks.
But Pro Football Focus, which grades every player on every snap, actually has Miami reserve defensive end graded higher. Despite his limited role, Jordan comes in at No. 19 among defensive ends in a 4-3 scheme. Vernon, who is tied for 3rd in sacks among 4-3 DEs, is just No. 22 overall. And despite the sacks, Vernon still has a neutral (not positive) pass rushing grade (as does Jordan). Jordan gets the nod because of his superior pass coverage.
Cam Wake, despite some injuries this year, still grades at No. 4 overall.
With just four weeks left in the season, here's how Miami's other players grade by PFF. Some of these gradings seem odd, but we know that NFL teams — including the Dolphins — factor in these figures in their player evaluation.
Quarterback (of 38)
Ryan Tannehill: T-7
Pro Football Focus continues to grade Tannehill much higher than the traditional passer rating (24th) and QBR (26th). PFF takes offensive penalties into consideration, and Tannehill is 3rd in the NFL among QBs with just one. Tannehill is tied overall for 7th with Chicago's Josh McCown. Yes, McCown has been playing well, but that also seems high.
Running back (of 52)
Miami Dolphins game notes: Was first half or second half offense more telling?

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Dolphins beat the Jets by 20 points on Sunday but they did it by scoring just 23 points.
Even with quarterback Ryan Tannehill having his second-best career yardage game (331), Brian Hartline having 127 yards and a touchdown, Mike Wallace adding 82 yards and a touchdown and Charles Clay with 80 yards (not to mention Lamar Miller's respectable 72 rushing yards against the league's top-ranked rush defense), the Dolphins still only managed 23 points. Their high for the season is 27 points, which is worst in the NFL. And if the Dolphins don't hit the 30-point mark at least once this year, it'll be the first time that's happened since their expansion season in 1966.
But it looked like it would be a lot worse at the half. Tannehill had 203 passing yards but an interception (that wasn't his fault) and also failed to pick up a first down on two fourth quarter conversions.
After the game Brian Hartline talked about his frustration from the lack of scoring. He later said that yards don't mean anything if you don't score points.
Game Day: Miami Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill and o-line under microscope; Bumphis leading receiver bubble watch
- 5:00 am Friday, August 9th, 2013 by Andrew Abramson
JACKSONVILLE — It's preseason Game 2 tonight and we're not sure exactly how long the starters will play. Coach Joe Philbin said only that the starters will play "a hair more" than in the preseason opener against Dallas when quarterback Ryan Tannehill played 10 snaps.
Once the games count we'll give you a game day "keys to the game." But the preseason keys to the game are simple: build chemistry, gain experience and see which bubble players should make the team. But there are plenty of story lines right now, so here's what to watch tonight.
Tannehill's development: In less than a week — in the eyes of some critics — Tannehill has gone from highly hyped second-year player to a quarterback with questions. He played only 10 snaps in the preseason opener against Dallas, and the fumble charged to him on the opening play was the fault of running back Lamar Miller, but Tannehill was criticized by the national media after his brief performance. He followed it up by throwing three interceptions in practice Tuesday, although he was sharper Wednesday with a deep toss to Mike Wallace for a 40-yard touchdown. He also threw another interception on Wednesday.
Dolphins Hall of Fame quarterback Bob Griese, on a conference calls with fans on Thursday, defended Tannehill. Griese said he reads about every one of Tannehill's practice interceptions in the newspaper but said it's normal to throw picks in practice and that people are overreacting.
Regardless, all eyes will be on Tannehill tonight.
Dolphins Talking Points: Dion Jordan excelling or Jonathan Martin faltering? Mike Wallace has light workout, Hartline sits
- 11:02 pm Wednesday, July 31st, 2013 by Andrew Abramson
Dion Jordan could be the player who ultimately decides General Manager Jeff Ireland's fate. Irleand took a big gamble by trading up for the No. 3 pick and using it on a talented but raw defensive end instead of a sure-thing left tackle.
Most No. 3 overall picks are starters from Game 1, but Jordan is expected to be a third down specialist behind starters Cameron Wake and Olivier Vernon. Jordan began training camp on the injured list and has been slowly seeing his workload increase.
Jordan finally broke out at Wednesday's practice but it was at the expense of left tackle Jonathan Martin.
After registering a sack in Monday's scrimmage, Jordan had two sacks Wednesday night. Both times he blew past Martin.
When Ireland traded up for the No. 3 pick, everyone expected him to grab left tackle Lane Johnson of Oklahoma. But the Dolphins went with Jordan, showing all the confidence in Martin. After the Dolphins chose not to re-sign left tackle Jake Long, and not try to trade for Kansas City's Branden Albert, it was either draft Johnson (who NFL Network analyst and former NFL offensive lineman Jamie Dukes told me recently would have been the team's "next Jake Long") or go with Jordan and stick with Martin.
Miami Dolphins talking points: Olivier Vernon, Dion Jordan make defensive end a position of strength
- 6:00 am Wednesday, July 24th, 2013 by Hal Habib
1. High on the list of guys to watch this summer are RB Lamar Miller and DE Olivier Vernon. Lots of buzz these past couple of days on Vernon, a third-round pick out of Miami last season who showed flashes in limited duty last year. He'll surely surpass the 3.5 sacks he had as a rookie. DT Randy Starks said Vernon "was ready to make plays for us last year." Which brings us to …
2. Dion Jordan. The fact the No. 3 overall pick came off the non-football injury list tells us his comeback from a shoulder injury is happening sooner rather than later. Yes, he participated in only spot duty Tuesday, but it's a step in the right direction after neither Jordan nor coach Joe Philbin would shed light on the timetable for recovery as camp opened. Was it days? Months? Now, we know. [More]
Talking Points: Dolphins rookie Dion Jordan out; Pouncey won't apologize for 'Free Hernandez' hat; surprise receiver breaks out
- 11:40 am Sunday, July 21st, 2013 by Andrew Abramson
For a few minutes it looked like defensive end Dion Jordan, the No. 3 overall pick in this year's draft, would practice a day after signing his contract. He was in the practice bubble while his teammates stretched.
But Jordan never made it out to the practice field, and Coach Joe Philbin later said that Jordan has been placed on the non-football injury list. That list is for a player who gets hurt away from the football field or sustains an injury before the draft when he is still with his college team. Jordan had shoulder surgery from an injury he suffered in college at Oregon.
By placing Jordan on the NFI list, the Dolphins leave open the possibility of having Jordan open the season on the reserve PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list, meaning he would miss the first six weeks of the season. This doesn't mean that Jordan will begin the season on the PUP list. It just means the Dolphins have that option.
Photos: Dolphins training camp
Jordan's agent said Saturday that Jordan was healthy and it would be up to coaches whether he practices. But Jordan said on Sunday he's know for a couple of days that he wouldn't be able to practice despite signing his contract.
"Right now, the main thing is just to take care of my body, make sure I'm healthy so when I get out there I'm able to help the team," Jordan said. "That's my main thing and I can't do it if I'm not 100 percent, so I'm going to take care of my body and make sure I'm ready to go."
NFL Draft Buzz: Mike Mayock breaks down the Miami Dolphins options at 12th pick
- 10:46 am Tuesday, February 19th, 2013 by Post Staff
Mike Mayock of the NFL Network held a 2 ½ hour conference call with media on Monday to discuss the prospects in this April's NFL Draft. A few of his answers related to the Dolphins and the No. 12 pick:
* It's a little hard to know what the Dolphins should do at 12 without knowing what they will first do in free agency, but Mayock said the Dolphins should have one general principle:
"All I know is you better start supporting that young quarterback," Mayock said, referencing Ryan Tannehill. "And the best way to do that is either at wideout or O-line. I think the O-line options are going to be a heck of a lot safer than the wide receiver options at 12."
Offensive line will only be a priority if LT Jake Long leaves in free agency, although the Dolphins do have options already on the team in Will Yeatman and potentially Nate Garner, who is a free agent. But this is a great year for offensive tackles, with at least six projected to go in the first round.
Receiver will certainly be a priority one way or another – many expect the Dolphins to sign at least one in free agency and use at least one high draft pick on another – and Mayock, like ESPN's Mel Kiper, believes that Tennessee's Cordarrelle Patterson could be the Dolphins' pick at 12.
Mayock loves Patterson's measurables – 6-3, 205 and expected to run in the 4.4s at the Combine – but is a bit wary of him because he only played one year of major college football, after spending two years in junior college.

Candidates branded as anti-mine land county seats
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Three candidates a national political group with ties to conservative billionaires Charles and David Koch has labeled as anti-mine have won seats on the Iron County Board.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports in Wednesday's editions that Victor Ouimette, Brad Matson and Karl Krall all defeated incumbent board members in Tuesday's elections.
Ouimette, Matson and Krall were among seven candidates the group Americans for Prosperity branded as opposing Gogebic Taconite's plans for a Penokee Hills iron mine.
The group circulated two mailings in Iron County in recent weeks aimed at getting supervisors who supported iron mining elected. One mailing was critical of candidates the group identified as mine opponents; the other backed mine supporters. Four of those candidates won Tuesday.

Couple fight to save their dream garden
8:57am Friday 2nd May 2014 in News By Matt Abbott, Chief Reporter
A COUPLE ordered to tear up their picturesque front garden by the council claim they have been "treated like criminals".
Michael, 69 and Patricia Dunn, 74, of China Lane, Bulphan have been ordered to take down a small footbridge, remove a footpath and tear up ornamental plants in their front garden, as they allegedly breach strict planning rules.
And the Dunns are now at their wits-end, having carefully transformed the land - which they have owned for 20 years - into a garden paradise, costing thousands of pounds, over the last three years.
The couple laid the path, replaced a small wooden bridge crossing a ditch to access the land with a new, safer crossing for their young grandchildren and planted numerous shurbs and flowers.
But after "receiving a complaint", the council ordered the garden to be torn up as it was an "unauthorised use of the land".
Mr Dunn, a former casino inspector, said: "We bought the land as an extension to our garden and have always treated it as such. We decided to develop it and make it a bit nicer.
"We were probably naive in that we didn't realise we had to apply for planning permission, but there's an ethos in Bulphan of making and keeping your gardens nice. We struggle to see the arguments against it.
"It's not exactly Kew Gardens, it's just a nice country garden. It's unbelievable. It's been really stressful for us - we feel like we've been treated like criminals and singled out."
The couple, who have lived in the property for 30 years, have spent thousands of pounds fighting the council over the issue.
The local authority served an enforcment notice in 2011 and the planning inspectorate recently backed its stance that the land has been changed, without permission, from agricultural to residential use.
The council has argued there was never a bridge crossing the ditch and linking the land - but Mr Dunn claims that since the cottages were built 200 years ago, that section of land has been linked with a bridge to his front garden.
The council claims the "curtilage of the property has been extended".
Picturesque - but the council claim the garden is in breach of strict planning rules.
A spokesman said: "In order to regularise the breaches of planning control an enforcement notice was served requiring the land to be returned to fen land.
"Given that the council's attempts to regularise the breaches via negotiation have failed, it follows that prosecution proceedings ought to be considered."

I think d_2da_ougle is right - this was fen land brought from a farmer that has now been urbanised - it was not their "front garden" - you can see that behind the man in the picture.

essexbird123 seems to miss the point. The man has used the garden for 20 years and a bridge has been there for 200 years.
If you read the appeal report it seems that the owners haven't helped their cause. I quote:
"The Council's investigations began in 2011 and the Appellants were aware that the Council considered there had been a breach of planning control. They were invited to submit an application for the change of use or an application for a lawful development certificate but they chose not to do so. Nor did they reduce the height of the fence despite assurances they would do so."
I have some sympathy regarding the bridge

I find the rage against the council interesting regardless or not whether the garden is a master piece or a dump. Does this mean you are all in favour of residents buying a piece of farmland or green adjacent to their house and then turning it into a residential garden connected to the house? Would make a nice and cheap way of expanding your property size. Especially if planning laws relax on building houses on residential gardens in the future.

1335 Tasting Notes
Additional notes: Sample sipdown! I should really be sampling the teas Butiki just sent, but I wanted this one. I thought this would age quicker (my sample is over a year old), because of the walnuts, but it actually tastes the same as the last time I had it. Wow! This is a very well done blend, as usual. It could maybe use a little bit more banana.. the pieces are so small! The banana flavor is still there though.
This was from the first round of the HH teabox and also a sipdown! I'd like to focus on sipdowns this week or next-cup-sipdowns. It's so difficult though because I like holding on to those last teaspoons of teas to savor later.
Steep #1 // 20 min after boiling // 3 min
This is supposed to be a black and green tea. I didn't see too many green tea leaves. I waited 20 minutes after boiling to steep it anyway. This is very tasty – it doesn't really taste like green tea but the black tea tastes like sweet cherries. It's pretty good! It isn't the most brisk tea (a "library" tea should probably be pretty strong for focus) but it does have a bite to it.
Steep #2 // just boiled // 3 min
Since I didn't see any green leaves in the dry blend, I used just boiled water. I didn't want to wait! But as I was pouring, I did noticed some green leaves that had unfurled! It didn't ruin the tea anyway. I still can't taste the green tea. I think the cherry flavor of the black tea might balance any astringency from the green. This one is unique!
Thank you so much for being so generous Teavivre! Wow. I always appreciate it so much! It really makes my day (or week) to receive a package of teas all the way from China. A sample package just in time for triple review points! I promised I'd try this one as soon as I got it because I insisted they wait to send it with the other teas they wanted to send. As fresh as possible. Hopefully it didn't affect the teas too much sitting in the 95 degree mailbox for an hour before I rescued them (and probably warmer because it is a brown mailbox).
The dry leaves are a lovely jade green, flat yet wide. I love the look of these leaves – it reminds me of how much I love tea. The fragrance is surprisingly strong! Very sweet.
Steep #1 // 32 minutes after boiling // 1 1/2 min steep
I used two teaspoons of leaves. I didn't exactly use the right parameters for this steep since the 17 ounces of water suggestion always confuses me. The color of the cup is a mellow yellow. The flavor somehow reminds me of the flavor of a Mao Feng – creamed or breaded corn. I love that sort of flavor, it's very good but I don't think that is what the flavor was supposed to be. Maybe a longer steep time and hotter temperature WOULD have been better. But I can't imagine the black teas should be steeped for one minute and the green should be steeped for four minutes.
Steep #2 // 30 min after boiling // 2 min steep
Now it has turned into a tea I've never tasted before. Such a garden of flavors this one has turned into: what was once corn is now cucumber and melon. Very interesting. This cup also seems like it should have more flavor, especially with such a strong scent to the dry leaves. Maybe I should have used more of them. There is no astringency at all.
Steep #3 // 28 min after boiling // 2 min
Maybe it was because the leaves sat overnight, but this cup didn't have too much flavor. It's interesting that this tea didn't acquire a strawberry-like flavor, since these types of teas sometimes do. I will definitely try again with Teavivre's parameters next time. They sent me plenty to sample. I guess I should just consider 17 ounces is double what my mug holds, so just halve all the parameters? I don't know. This tea is very unique (haven't had something like this before and I've tried a few other dragonwell teas before). Very nice.
I snagged a sample pouch of this one from the HH teabox! I fully plan on reviewing it to get my Teavivre triple rewards! :D These rewards will make it very tough not to place an order. So thank you to whomever included it in the teabox. Other oolong instructions from Teavivre (I don't like the new instructions since they mention 17 ounces of water):
One tablespoon, eight ounces of water, boiling, rinse, 1,2,3 min
Steep #1 // just boiled // rinse // 1 min
The sample had 2 1/2 teaspoons of leaves, so I went with them all! The green little bundles of leaves have the fragrance of a sweet milk oolong. Very scrumptious. But the flavor is much different. I probably should have waited a few more minutes for the water to cool for the first steep, but the parameters said otherwise! The boiling didn't ruin the tea, but it was on the brink for being a little too oversteeped. It does have a hint of astringency. But the flavor profile here, instead of being the milk oolong it smells like, is actually pineapple flavored! Front and center, it's all pineapple. As it cools, it tastes even better. This might make for a very nice iced oolong.
Steep #2 // couple minutes after boiling // 1 1/2 min steep
The second steep has mellowed to a lingering peaches & hint of cream flavor! Wow, this is better than the peach tea I steeped at the same time (yes, I do that, it extends the lifetime of my tea kettle a little bit, I figure). I haven't had a peach flavored oolong in a long time! So this is primarily a fruity oolong to me: pineapple and then peach.
Steep #3 // couple mins after boiling // 2 min
This cup was also very nice, though it had a hint of astringency. Still peachy but less so. The first two steeps were better, but I think two teaspoons of leaves would have worked better or switching some parameters.
Not the best oolong I've tried from Teavivre (Iron Goddess is the best ever), though that is a pretty high standard, but also not the worst oolong! If you're looking for a fruity oolong, this is a great one!
Sidenote: I just ordered six things from puerhshop.com so I'd like to have at least six sipdowns of things in the next handful of days. It shouldn't be difficult, as a ton of my teas are nearing their end.
Birthday cake! Thank you for the sample, KittyLovesTea! The description says black tea but I don't see any black leaves in my blend or in the picture of the tea. This is mostly rooibos but whoa is Bluebird's rooibos some of the best: all smooth and delicious. It's almost like strawberries! I can see why the rhubarb cream blend works so well. I think the sugar from the adorable star sprinkles are improving the rooibos. Other than that, I only see purple flowers in the blend and there isn't much flavor other than the rooibos itself. I'm not really sure how this tea could claim to be cake, maybe it should just be called "birthday". As a rooibos blend, this is a win. Rooibos haters could be swayed with Bluebird's base, I think. I used a Tsac and there weren't any rooibos particles in the mug. The second steep was good too, but it lost most of the strawberry flavor for some reason. Not bad, but I'd definitely prefer my favorite teas on my birthday (very well could be many of Bluebird's blends).
Thank you Dinosara for your sale, with some of them being free. :D This is supposed to be brewed at 195 degrees so I waited for the water to cool ten minutes after boiling. The dry leaves certainly look good. The flavor is a mid-level briskness, it kind of tastes like something fruity, maybe cherry. Not that delicious, and don't use this blend to judge Fujian teas. It does have the flavor that reminds me of 52Teas new black tea base, so I don't love this tea, but if 52Teas does use a Fujian base, the fault is completely mine, since most of the time the Fujian tea just isn't my thing. I usually love most of the teas from Nature's, so it's a little disappointing! I know others like this one more, so I might save this for a teabox.
Steep #1 // 10 min after boiling // 3 min
Steep #2 // just boiled // 4 min
Steep #1 // rinse // 10 min after boiling // 1 min steep
Yes, I will always love the ripened pu-erh more than the raw, but this one works too. I love the dark flavor of the ripe pu-erh, and the sweet rice flavor just seems like it would go better with ripe. But maybe the flavor is able to shine better on the lighter raw leaves. The flavor here is so buttery. I've never had sticky rice, but to me the flavor screams kettle corn… which I've only had one time and loved. But the cup is mostly sweet, a hint of spicy with the aftertaste. I'm accustomed to raw teas being very tree-like, but it's possible I was steeping them too long. Maybe even 30 seconds would have been enough like some oolongs.
Steep #2 // 8 min after boiling // 70 seconds
Oh boy, and here is where the bitterness starts. The rice flavor is still very apparent, but the bitter kind of ruins it. Maybe that's why I like the ripened pu-erh better, it isn't as sensitive.
Steep #3 // 10 min after boiling // 50 seconds
Still bitter, but so is the rice flavor. I liked the first cup though. I think the first cup was perfect, but this should really be steeped for maybe 30-40 seconds after the first steep. I think I'd rather stick with the ripened until I get better at not ruining the raw pu-erh. I still love the rice flavor. I'm ordering some of the ripened from puerhshop.com…
I had a bit of trouble with this tea too. The sticky rice scent was way overpowering and I think there was some bitterness in the later steeps. I would suggest trying shorter steeps but I see you've only had one to try. I have quite a few of them on hand if you ever want to try it again.
I look forward to seeing your review on the sticky rice ripe pu-er. Maybe it will go better with the ripe. But don't give up on the raw! Mandala is the best starting place for raw. All their teas were fabulous.
Whoops. I'm just trying this now from the Black Friday sale.
Steep #1 // 35 min after boiling // 4-5 min steep
I liked DT's White Chocolate blend, and this one almost seems the same somehow, or maybe even not as good. The steep color doesn't look like it has black tea in it at all, but I know it definitely has some in the blend. It tastes sweet, creamy, hints of coconut. But I think the White Chocolate blend had more sweet & creamy. It's been a while since I've had the White Chocolate though…maybe I'm misremembering. There is also a bit of tanginess from the white tea itself in this blend. Maybe I'll try it at a hotter temp next time.
Steep #2 // half mug full // just boiled // few minutes
This cup had more flavor, and not much more astringency. More coconut! Not much "cream" in either cup. I definitely don't think this one should be such a low temp, but probably not just boiled either.
My Butiki samples have arrived! I'm very excited to try so many new Butiki gems. I'm not sure if it's just Stacy picking the teas, but someone over at Butiki REALLY knows how to find the right teas. I wanted to start with the Hattialli because the Hattialli Golden Lion was probably my favorite tea of all time.
Steep #1 //2 tsps // 13 min after boiling // 3 1/2 min steep
I waited 13 minutes for the water to cool because somehow that worked better for me with the other Hattialli than boiling water (though it could have also been just five minutes after boiling.) This one isn't QUITE the same, but it's still an amazing tea. Maybe better than the second harvest I tried of the Lion, but not the first harvest I tried. The flavor isn't as detailed to me, it's missing the plum, apricot, more chocolate, sweet potato. All of those things are very subtley there, and I probably wouldn't even notice them if I hadn't known to look for them in the other tea. This isn't supposed to be the same tea anyway, though it shares the Hattialli name.
Steep #2 // 8 min after boiling // 3 1/2 min
The second steep loses even more of those extra flavors, but it gains a ton more chocolate. I don't think it's a very strong chocolate tea compared to others, but I'm surprised at how much chocolate is actually here, since the leaves are mostly golden colored. Golden leaves usually taste like honey, not chocolate. But man this cup was addicting and I just sat there zombie-eyed sipping and sipping. I sure do wish I had bought truckloads of the first harvest of the Lion. High standards with my most favorite tea! This one is still definitely worth trying, as I haven't tasted this type of tea anywhere else before.
ETA: Steep #3 // half a mug // just boiled // 3-4 min
This steep was an afterthought, but it was still very tasty! I thought it would be a lot worse. I'll have to remember to do a full third steep with the rest of my sample the next time.
OH and if anyone is selling any of the first harvest of the Lion (I think it was before July 2013), I'll buy it!
Additional notes: I'm having this one again. I think it's still my favorite chai though I was wondering why it wasn't as strong, then I thought I had previously used two teaspoons. Looking at the tasting note says I used 1 3/4 teaspoons. I'm still amazed at the big cinnamon pieces. I love that it has both longer leaves and CTC leaves. Also, I think I noticed some pieces of rock sugar this time around, though it doesn't taste much sweeter. Maybe it makes it perfect while using 1 3/4 tsps. I'm sad I'm still the only one with a tasting note for this one. All of the NecessiTeas blends I've tried have been delicious. I wish they sold their teas in smaller amounts than three ounces. Steepsterers could at least be splitting orders!
Well, my tea monies will sadly be going elsewhere for a while, but maybe someday! And I'm trying to see where NecessiTeas source is. It seems they have some of the same teas as Fusion Teas & Two Tea Guys (and both of them have cheaper prices.) But neither of those two have the awesome blends like Blueberry Cheesecake.

Moving a combat force into a war zone doesn't just take guns.

ACLJ Calls For Release Of American Pastor In Iran
This week for the first time, the U.S. State Department in its: daily press briefing: spoke out about American Pastor Saeed Abedini who has been imprisoned in Iran for his Christian faith. The State Department expressed its "serious concerns" about his fate and acknowledged that the sole reason for his imprisonment in Iran is because of his "religious beliefs."
The: ACLJ: is pleased that the time has come that the State Department has begun to speak out about the abuse of this American citizen. They should have, however called for the immediate release of Mr. Abedini.
Pastor Saeed's imprisonment for his Christian faith is a clear and absolute violation of international human rights laws, and we urge the State Department to employ every available measures to secure the immediate release of Pastor Saeed, an American citizen.
The: State Department's statement: is below:
"We have serious concerns about the fate of two U.S. citizens detained in Iran, Amir Hekmati and Saeed Abedini. Let me start with Mr. Abedini. He was arrested by Iranian officials more than three months ago on charges related to his religious beliefs. We understand that a hearing will be held soon, and we call on Iranian officials to respect Iran's own laws and provide Mr. Abedini access to an attorney."
Over 66,000 Americans have already spoken out on Pastor Saeed's behalf urging action from the U.S. government to free this persecuted pastor. As we saw repeatedly in Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani's case, when thousands of people here in America and around the world take action, governments listen, and that immense international pressure led to Pastor Youcef's eventual release both times Iran has imprisoned him.
Please continue to pray, share his story, and: sign our petition for his release.
Jordan Sekulow is Executive Director of the American Center for Law and Justice.
