Gonjasufi – Mu.zz.le
It may be crackly, hoarse, even ugly, but there is a special magic to Gonjasufi's voice and music. It is reported that Gonjasufi came upon an enlightenment of sorts when he finished the grueling process of becoming a yoga master. Along the way, he found one of the most original voices in modern music, no question. It is high pitched and nearly inhuman, demonic. His unique voice makes him a great spokesperson for new movements in experimental music. On Mu.zz.le, Gonjasufi establishes himself as the Portishead of our day, innovating on the already inventive world of trip hop. He certainly shares their affinity for the disturbing, as evidenced by the screams of a girl on the tragically epic "Nikels and Dimes." The Portishead similarity is cemented on the genius "Feedin Birds." The guest vocals on this track are very reminiscent of Beth Gibbons. Even Gonjasufi's vocals share a root with hers, there's has always been a crackling rawness to both their voices. "Feedin Birds" is also lyrically brilliant, painting the empty cycle of earning money. Portishead's playfulness with mixing a song makes a grand return on "Rubberband," where the main track abruptly snaps away like a… rubberband, leaving only his stirring vocals behind. And "The Blame" almost sounds like Black Eyed Peas' "Where is the Love" if you tied it to a rusted Cadillac and dragged it through gravel. On Mu.zz.le Gonjasufi takes trippiness to a new modern level and makes a great follow-up to A Sufi and a Killer, possibly even overshadowing it.

Author Info
"Andrew Oros' contribution to constructivist literature through his challenging of realist theories of international relations and rationalist understandings of domestic politics combine to make Normalizing Japan an important addition to international relations and comparative politics scholarship . . . In sum, the value of this book is twofold. The first lies in its empirical richness and description of compromises reached among domestic and international actors, while the second reflects its contribution to constructivist theory through charting the institutionalisation and evolution of Japan's security identity."—Christopher K. Lamont, Political Studies Review
"Normalizing Japan definitely moves the scholarly debate forward and provides useful analytical tools for anyone trying to disentangle rhetoric from reality in Japanese security policy."—Michael J. Green, Journal of Japanese Studies
"It is clear that a tremendous amount of hard work and research went into the creation of this book .... Credit must be given to Oros for writing a book that is completely borderless with respect to sources, whether text or interviews; he represents a new breed of Japan specialists who operate with equal facility in Japan and in their own countries . . . This book should be required reading for current and aspiring Japan specialist in the arena of politics and security."—Tosh Minohara, Journal of Asian Studies
"A model of academic research Normalizing Japan is enhanced with seven major appendices, extensive notes, a 29-page bibliography, and a comprehensive index, making it an invaluable and strongly recommended addition to academic library Contemporary International Studies reference collections in general, and Japanese Governmental Studies reading lists in particular."—The Midwest Book Review
"This thoughtful, carefully argued study challenges the many Chicken Littles who warn that Japan is ready to break free of its post-war constraints."—Leonard Schoppa, University of Virginia
"Andrew Oros has written an important book on one of the seminal questions in East Asian affairs. The character and impact of Japan's unique national security identity of antimilitarism--and its evolution today in a region where 'realist' forces are reasserting themselves is a challenging scholarly issue that also has real world significance. Normalizing Japan marshals impressive evidence to make careful and thoughtful arguments about the role of identity and history in Japanese national security decision making. The book is a welcome addition to a growing debate on the logic and pathways of Japan's postwar identity and foreign policy."—G. John Ikenberry, Princeton University
"A well-crafted and innovative study of contested national identity. Oros shows how Japan's security identity, despite significant material changes in the domestic and international environment, remains rooted in domestic anti-militarism. He offers empirical benchmarks to suggest that so far Japan is normalizing but not nationalizing or permanently pacifying."—Henry R. Nau, George Washington University
"This work effectively presents Japan's defensive orientation and practices as normal for the Japanese as they reflect the political negotiations and compromises that have shaped and continue to define the framework within which security decisions are made."—CHOICE
"...Represents a fine example of the synergy that can be created by drawing upon the strengths of both area studies and discipline. In short, this book stands out as one of the best additions to the field over recent years and represents another excellent contribution to what is shaping up to be a fine series in Asian security studies under the sponsorship of the East-West Center."—Pacific Affairs
Studies in Asian Security, A Series Sponsored by the East-West Center
Normalizing Japan seeks to answer the question of what future direction Japan's military policies are likely to take, by considering how policy has evolved since World War II, and what factors shaped this evolution. It argues that Japanese security policy has not changed as much in recent years as many believe, and that future change also will be highly constrained by Japan's long-standing "security identity," the central principle guiding Japanese policy over the past half-century. Oros' analysis is based on detailed exploration of three cases of policy evolution—restrictions on arms exports, the military use of outer space, and cooperation with the United States on missile defense—which shed light on other cases of policy change, such as Japan's deployment of its military to Iraq and elsewhere and its recent creation of a Ministry of Defense. More broadly, the book refines how "ideational" factors interact with domestic politics and international changes to create policy change.

The Infanta Lyrics - The Decemberists
Review The Song (8)
Here she comes in her palanquin
on the back of an elephant
on a bed made of linen and sequins and silk
all astride on her father's line
with the king and his concubines
and her nurse with her pitchers of liquors and milk
and we'll all come praise the infanta
and we'll all come praise the infanta
Among five score pachyderm
each canopied and passengered
sit the duke and the duchess' luscious young girls
within sight of the baroness
seething spite for this lithe largesse
by her side sits the baron
her barrenness barbs her
and we'll all come praise the infanta
sponsored linksand we'll all come praise the infanta
A phalanx on camelback
thirty ranks on a forward tack
followed close, their shiny bright standards a-waving
while behind in their coach-and-fours
ride the wives of the king of Moors
And the veiled young virgin, the prince's betrothed
and we'll all come praise the infanta
and we'll all come praise the infanta
And as she sits upon her place
her innocence laid on her face
from all atop the parapets blow a multitude of coronets
melodies rhapsodical and fair
and all our hearts afire
the sky ablaze with cannon fire
we all raise our voices to the air
to the air...
And above all this folderol
on a bed made of chaparral
she is laid, a coronal placed on her brow
and the babe, all in slumber dreams
of a place filled with quiet streams
and the lake where her cradle was pulled from the water
and we'll all come praise the infanta
and we'll all come praise the infanta

Amazing | Reviewer: David | 8/17/10
It's nice to know people are finally giving The Decemberists due credit for being hyperliterate and altogether smarter than most of the music out today. I'll accept that the attention is due in no small part to a television show. But if you like wordy music, the Decemberists is for you.
Thankyou Google & U Tube | Reviewer: Bob | 9/26/08
First heard the song as backround music on the TV show MadMen, from that point was obsessed by the music, and few words I could understand. My son found it first on Google where it had the lyrics, then on U Tube, I watched the video, and read the words on Google. Amazing song, Can' stop listening to it. Thanks
Used on episode 6 of Mad Men, Season 2 | Reviewer: Lisafer | 9/1/08
In case anyone is wondering, "The Infanta" is the music over the opening bra-donning sequence. That info is buried deep in the Mad Men website so hopefully googlers will find it more easily this way!
wow! a vocab lesson! | Reviewer: Laura | 7/18/07
I actually had to look up a ton of words in this song. It's kind of ridiculous. And awesome.
folderol | Reviewer: Mark | 6/12/07
I'm so happy they used this great word. I've just been talking about it lately with my girlfriend, who had no idea what it was. My mother always used to use it.
amazing | Reviewer: Steven | 5/9/07
I LOVE this song, i love the driving pulse, and the amazing lyrics. one of my favourites. :)
Deborah | Reviewer: jackie Brown | 3/14/07
You know how I know Deborah is gay. I smell her gayness
Converted | Reviewer: Deborah | 9/17/05
"Huh?" This is the average listener's average response to this song. But surrender to its driving rhythm and the lushness of the lyrics will gradually enfold and convert. Really, who can long resist a song that includes "palanquin" "largesse" and "rhapsodical". And we'll all come praise the infanta, indeed.
The following area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of The Infanta Lyrics.

Such violence is symptomatic
Of the society which breeds it
Verging on misogynistic
Man may do what he sees fit
But as a woman, it is fixity
She clips her winged ambition
Her duty is to soon marry
Independence spurs admonition
Relieve this pressure, and others remain
Establishing men as superior
Any virago is told to restrain
Her opinions and prize her exterior
But in this system of nymphs and satyrs
The women aren't supposed to escape
Rollicking the chase, she must give in later
To the man who fancies her shape
This residuum of an ancient arrangement
provides the threshold for abuse
The victim is subject to estrangement
Society's animus is let loose
Because it's her fault, claim a multiplicity of voices
It was his inherent right for some reason
Serpentine logic questions her choices
While his vulgar actions can some like the seasons
It was her fault for the way that she looked
His terrestrial urges unbridled, for sure
She should have been flattered that he was hooked
But she should have been more demure
Her eyes, once opalized, now deaden
With the vituperation she is subject to
The shame and guilt make her heart leaden
She is forced into silence, and that day she will rue
The disfigurement imposed anatomically
Will go unchallenged, and he can continue
Because she felt the need to live laconically
She can still feel his encroachment on her tissue
She is now ruined, from society's standpoint
For the deed she did not want to submit to
But the torrent of voices and values appoint
The girl as the one who blame falls to.
Pardon my pride in posting this poem, pretty please. It was a creative writing assignment for my English class based on a book called Tess of the D'Urbervilles (written in the 1800s), which brings to light the fact that rape culture has been prevalent long before modern day society. It's time to continue making a change! It won't happen quickly, certainly, but we can make a difference in how our society perceives [gender, race, sexuality, sexual orientation].

Latest Player Updatesclose
Keary Colbert
Wed Nov 23, 2011 6:49 pm Chiefs waived WR Keary Colbert.
Fantasy Source Spin: Colbert was operating as Kansas City's third receiver earlier in the season, but had recently lost the job to rookie Jonathan Baldwin and has been a healthy scratch. He's got a spot on the USC coaching staff waiting for him if he wants to resume coaching. At 29, Colbert's playing career is probably over.
Mon Nov 21, 2011 7:10 pm Chiefs declared WR Keary Colbert, S Jon McGraw, LB Demorrio Williams, OT Steve Maneri, DE Glenn Dorsey, TE Anthony Becht, and DE Brandon Bair inactive for Week 11 against New England.
Fantasy Source Spin: Colbert has ceded third receiver duties to Jonathan Baldwin, and now appears to have fallen behind even Jerheme Urban and Jeremy Horne. Dorsey is out with a knee injury. Williams and McGraw came into the game banged up.
Sun Sep 4, 2011 11:08 pm Keary Colbert made the Chiefs' final roster.
Fantasy Source Spin: Colbert beat long odds after falling out of the league last season and accepting a coaching job at USC. He'll open the season no higher than fifth on the depth chart. Colbert hasn't topped 500 yards in a season since his rookie year in 2004.
Tue Aug 16, 2011 1:22 pm Reporting from Chiefs camp, SI.com's Peter King gives WR Keary Colbert nearly a 50-50 shot of making the final roster.
Fantasy Source Spin: We're not buying it. Timing is everything, and Colbert missed his window in Kansas City by a year. The Chiefs are much deeper now at receiver than they were last August. Colbert would have to beat out Todd Haley favorite Jerheme Urban -- who also plays special teams -- for a roster spot.
Source: SI.com
Wed Aug 10, 2011 8:51 pm Chiefs signed WR Keary Colbert, formerly of the Sacramento Lions.
Fantasy Source Spin: Colbert began the year on the Lions' UFL roster after spending the 2010 season as the USC Trojans' assistant tight ends coach. Once a promising-looking prospect defeating single-team coverage opposite Steve Smith in Carolina, Colbert hasn't been able to separate from defensive backs since 2004.
Fri Jun 10, 2011 3:10 pm Free agent Keary Colbert has resurfaced with the Sacramento Lions of the United Football League.
Fantasy Source Spin: Colbert spent the 2010 season as the USC Trojans' assistant tight ends coach, but declared himself ready for a comeback attempt in February. Now 29 years old with below-average athleticism in his prime, Colbert is unlikely to return to the NFL as an impact contributor. He might get a look in a camp.
Source: Adam Caplan on Twitter
Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:21 am Former Lions and Panthers WR Keary Colbert is leaving the USC football staff in hopes of resurrecting his NFL career.
Fantasy Source Spin: We're not betting on him. Colbert had an impressive rookie season (47-754-16.0-5) starting opposite a peaking Steve Smith in 2004, but he was a completely ineffective player thereafter. Turning 29 in May, Colbert would have to improve his speed and overall athleticism to truly help a team.
Source: USC Trojans Football
Sat Sep 5, 2009 8:43 pm Lions released WR Keary Colbert, TE/DE Sean Conover, OG Milford Brown, TE Carson Butler, S Calvin Lowry, and CB Ramzee Robinson.
Fantasy Source Spin: Colbert still can't separate and dropped too many passes in preseason to beat out Dennis Northcutt. The Lions are going thin on defensive backs.
Sat Aug 15, 2009 9:06 pm Lions receiver Keary Colbert dropped three passes in Saturday's preseason game against the Falcons.
Fantasy Source Spin: This will get you cut really quick. All three were from Matthew Stafford, whose completion rate would've been a studly 71.4% had Colbert done what he was supposed to. Instead, Stafford finished up 7-for-14 passing.
Source: MLive.com
Thu May 7, 2009 12:50 pm Lions re-signed WR Keary Colbert.
Fantasy Source Spin: Colbert, 27, had 47 catches as a rookie in 2004, the year Steve Smith missed all but one game with a broken leg. Colbert has since struggled to separate in numerous locations, be it due to weak burst off the line and/or route running. He's a poor fit for new Lions coordinator Scott Linehan's vertical offense and probably won't make the team.
Wed May 6, 2009 1:56 pm The Lions will work out free agent Keary Colbert on Wednesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Colbert finished 2008 on Detroit's roster, but wasn't re-signed. He drew light interest from the Chiefs in March after catching seven passes last year.
Source: Detroit Free Press
Fri Mar 6, 2009 9:07 am In addition to S Keith Davis and DB Travis Daniels, the Chiefs are showing interest in free agent Keary Colbert.
Fantasy Source Spin: As long as they don't pay as much as Mike Shanahan did last year. Seattle also gave up a fifth-round pick for Colbert in-season. The mysteriously hot item produced zero catches for Denver and just seven as a Seahawk.
Source: ESPN.com
Tue Sep 16, 2008 4:00 pm Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com reports that the Seahawks have traded an undisclosed late-round draft pick to the Broncos for WR Keary Colbert.
Fantasy Source Spin: Colbert barely made the Broncos despite getting a $2.5 million bonus to sign in March, so the draft pick is likely a conditional sixth or seventh rounder. Along with Koren Robinson, the Seahawks have added a pair of veteran receivers after their pass-catchers dropped like flies. Robinson has more fantasy potential.
Source: FOXSports.com
Wed Aug 27, 2008 8:14 pm Bill Williamson of ESPN.com reports that Keary Colbert "is on the bubble to make the 53-man roster."
Fantasy Source Spin: Denver handed Colbert a $2.5 million signing bonus in March and planned on him becoming the team's No. 2 receiver, but that was before drafting Eddie Royal. Colbert is also behind Brandon Stokley and Darrell Jackson, and Glenn Martinez may also have a leg up due to his special teams play.
Source: ESPN.com
Tue Jun 10, 2008 10:11 am Coach Mike Shanahan believes Keary Colbert can be "much like Rod Smith" in the Broncos' offense.
Fantasy Source Spin: "He blocks well, he catches well, really an experienced guy that's exceptionally bright," Shanahan said. If Colbert beats out Darrell Jackson to start (which we'd bet against), it's probably because Shanahan wants better run blocking from his second receiver. Over 40 catches would be a surprise.
Source: Rocky Mountain News
Tue Jun 3, 2008 10:41 am Broncos WR Keary Colbert, CB Dre' Bly, and FB Mike Bell are all recovered from their pulled hamstrings.
Fantasy Source Spin: The players were injured during May passing camp. They're fine now.
Source: Denver Post
Fri May 30, 2008 3:41 pm Keary Colbert missed the last day of the Broncos' passing camp Friday with a hamstring pull.
Fantasy Source Spin: Unless the injury lingers, this shouldn't matter much. Colbert is battling Darrell Jackson to start and was probably a slight underdog before the injury.
Source: Denver Post
Sat Mar 1, 2008 8:51 pm Broncos signed Keary Colbert to a three-year, $7.2 million contract, including a $2.5 million signing bonus.
Fantasy Source Spin: A surprising move by Denver, and a dream second chance for Colbert to turn his career around. The Broncos loved Colbert coming out of USC, but he's had a crisis of confidence the last few years. Denver will add talent, but Colbert will compete to start.
Source: nfl.com
Fri Feb 29, 2008 9:02 pm The Broncos hosted free agent WR Keary Colbert and S Sammy Knight Friday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Denver wants a No. 2 receiver to play opposite Brandon Marshall with Brandon Stokley in the slot. Colbert wouldn't keep double-team attention off Marshall. Knight would be a candidate to start at strong safety.

We know what you are thinking...what is the difference between Raspberry Tea and Raspberry Half and Half? Well, we are wondering, too. What doesn't make sense is that Raspberry Tea is red, while this beverage, which is supposed to be 50% raspberry juice is just the normal color of iced tea? Did they mess up the labels or something? Anyway, this stuff used to be our favorite raspberry tea until the Raspberry Tea came out. Its very good iced tea (although its not herbal) and it is a little lighter on the raspberry flavor. The second best iced tea on the market.

First bad news, this is the last day and the last blog of this 30th edition of the Belluard Bollwerk festival. Second bad news, we had no cookers group today, at the Do-it-yourself. In fact, there was a group of eleven people who booked the kitchainettes but they didn't understand that they had to cook their own dish from the surprise basket and they decided to eat at the Ready-made. Tonight the Kitchain cooking team proposed belgian dishes… Fries and waffel.. it's difficult to complain. A big thanks to all for their job during the whole festival. We look forward to seeing you next year!
Everyone who worked to make this festival happen and be so unique, diserve a huge thanks!
It brings us to the last, but not least, bad news. Sally is leaving us for others adventures and challenges. Thank you for what you brought to this festival. We will miss you! Farewell!
To finish the Kitchain blog of this year we want to propose you a vision of the dresscode noticeable during this last day.
Masters of cocktails and ambiance tonight: L'Ancienne Gare with a special guest, Mzelle Charlotte
The sexiest barmaid ever!
Glam rock forever!
She doesn't like to be on picture.. we don't know why..
This time Mohammed is not behind the camera.
Gionny Caisse
Cosmic-dressed Laure.
Mathias the leather barman.
The Dj and his groupie.
Günther found a girlfriend!
We hope to see you next year!
The nice weather is back and everyone wanted to stay outide to enjoy the sun, anyway six people came to cook inside.
Günther feels a little lonely behind the bar.
So he comes outside to meet the people.
Today a special vegetarian basket was waiting for the cookers and they had no regrets not eat meat, quite the contrary, even more so it was their choice.
The proof that the men can cook.
For the great pleasure of women.
The team of Fri-Son was ready to make drink and dance the audiance.
When the barmen enjoy their own cocktail, it's a good sign, isn't it?
The boats keep on sinking.
An artwork of Magritte… Gil Magritte!
For the last day of the festival there two kitchainettes free.
Book, come, cook and enjoy!
See you tomorrow!
Today, the first vegetarian group came to cook the myterious ingredients of the surprise basket.
In this blog, a picture of the cookers of the kitchain do-it-yourself watching the blog of Kitchain. The circle of Kitchain..
The weapon used in the murder of this salad has been found. Let's call the forensics.
The second group was Carnivore and didn't let no chance to the poor animal living in the basket, like a pack of lions with an innocent antelope.
What is doing a carton of cream in an antelope?
Le Nouveau Monde was cocktails and music provider. The whole Kitchain was in festive, groovy… and safe energy.
Against alcohol abuse the police ensures with their sparkling uniforms. Thieves won't have no chance.. and they seem quite happy.
By the way, a big applause and thanx to Annick and her technic dream team. Without them it wouldn't been possible to cook and enjoy the Kitchain, to perform and enjoy the shows, to see, listen to and enjoy the festival.
Efficient and handsome… more would be too much!
Watch out! a grape can be dangerous, you must handle it with care!
Brothers relationship
Guess what! we will be there tomorrow.. waiting for you.
Today, as the Kitchain main dish was salmon we decided to take pictures with a fisheye objective and with the water falling from the sky, the scene was even more realist.
The belgian Kitchain team at work
One or two drops of rain… so what!
Nevertheless, the festival must go on and four people came to cook.
Don't you want to join?
Hurry! they will eat everything… too late…
While the artists of Watch & Talk were doing cocktail and playing music
Watch them to talk about cocktail… and taste it !
Maybe you prefer mixed sound than mixed liquids.
That is the question!
So what…
See you tomorrow!
After a daybreak we are back at the Kitchain with a group of eight cookers. They used the two kitchainettes to express their cooking skills.
This wasn't a cooking workshop, but just a big group and everyone put the hands into the pans.
It was an international Kitchainette because the group was composed with french learning students.
No misunderstanding and a lot of pleasure.
To share a meal together is a part of the secret of communication.
There are almost no language mistakes with full mouth.
This book is really great!
On Thursday the kichainettes are full, but there are still free places on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
Tchô bone !!
Today the sun came back and brought the second group of cookers. Who were very attentive to make the best dish as possible.
Everything was consciously tasted.
To enjoy a nice time with friends, feeling at home in the middle of the festival.
To eat and laugh at the same time could be dangerous, but at the kitchainettes everything is possible.
And with grooving atmosphere of Goton le Cool, the meal was even more pleasant.
DJ at Wok!
After a good dinner what's better than a good concert?
Thank you Alys Hubek!
A nice maïzena mask done at the Domestic Science Club.
We will be back on tuesday to welcome you.
Today the kitchain do-it-yourself meets the first cookers of the 30th edition.
The myterious basket was ready
Waiting in the dark.
You can see, on the picture above, only few ingredients of the basket. It's because we want you to discover it by yourselves and cook something great with fresh, bio and local products.
Tonight the first group was very inspired, they prepared a flavoured and colored dish.
Which they enjoy accompanied with wine and conversation.
Your turn tomorrow?
At the Belluard there is no need of bridge because there is an unsinkable paper boat.
We are waiting for you.
The Doors are open for the 30st time! And it's the beginning of the Big Party. The public discovered the new Kitchain cooking team, and it's apéro.
Holiday On Stage was the first show of the week, a performance by Martin Schick and Damir Todorovic. Red Carpet rolled out for the artistes…
Everything sunk after that, with the terrific dj set of The Backforwards
Don't forget to reserve your Kitchenette!

I've been using Clinique quickliners and cream shapers for years. For the most part I liked them, enough to keep paying $14, then $15, now $16 apiece for them.
I had a $3.50 off $10 coupon for Ulta, and I had picked up a $9 item, so I decided to try one of these gel pencils (I got the Smoke color) that were on sale for $2.
When I first applied it, I was pleasantly surprised--it went on smooth and creamy; the color was about what I expected--a nice charcoal. No irritation to my eyes at all, and lo and behold, it lasted all day with minimal smudging (I wear contacts and have somewhat watery eyes), and it removes easily with my Clinique take the day off. I used my regular eye pencil sharpener to sharpen it.
I also purchased the indigo and mink. I haven't opened the mink yet, but the indigo is a nice dark blue color.
I've been using them for a couple weeks now, and unless something changes, I will definitely rebuy these and am finished paying $16 for eyeliner! Yippee :-)

I swatched a bunch of these at Ulta, then went home and cleaned. The swatches were still there after scrubbing the carpet stains and doing laundry and washing my hands a couple times :-) nice!! so I went back to Ulta and bought tons of colors. I love these, they remind me of the L'Oreal HiP chrome pencil eyeliners
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have to disagree with the person above me- I thought these were incredibly creamy for being a stick liner. Saying that, they didn't last the way I thought they would. I live in a humid climate and have oily lids, so that could come into consideration. I like the colors I got though, in "Blackout" & "Mink".. they were 2 for $6 at ULTA, so not a bad deal.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
These gel eyeliners are creamier than the traditional eyeliner formulas. That said they are definitely not as creamy, gel like nor do they apply as smoothly as Urban Decay 24/7 or Revlon Grow luscious eye liners. I have the gel eyeliners in mink (dark brown) majesty ( royal purple) and peacock ( teal).

In his book 2000 years of amazing grace: the story and meaning of the christian faith, Paul Zahl autobiographically recounts what happened to him many years ago when he discovered the indispensability of grace to produce the good works toward our neighbor outlined in the Bible:
My doing of the good deeds [Jesus] taught actually hinged on Him saving me-I, who had found myself paralyzed and blocked from doing those good deeds.When I felt myself loved in my chains, in my paralyses, that feeling of being loved seemed to trigger the very motivation and strength that had failed me before. Being treated forgivingly in my faults and fears freed me up. The faults themselves lost some of their binding strength. The confining fears ceased to restrict so tightly. There was an empowering connection between Jesus' saving me (who he was for me) and the fuel to do what he said I should do (what he taught).
I take this connection between saving and the response to being saved that results in morally good actions (loving service to our neighbor), to be the heart of Christianity. It is the relation of being loved to loving. Being loved creates an environment inside a person by which the works of love begin to take place naturally. Loving is born from being loved…"Love to the loveless shown, that they might lovelier be" is a seventeenth-century way of saying it.
As I've said on numerous occasions here, the motivation and fuel to do good (which the Bible always describes horizontally in terms of loving service to others) comes from being moved by the completed work of Jesus for us. The impulsion to "do" comes only out of this undomesticated declaration that everything has already been done. Those who obey more are those who increasingly "get" that their standing with God is not based on their imperfect obedience to Jesus, but Jesus' perfect obedience for them. The secret of grace is that we actually perform better as we grow to understand that God's love for us is based on Christ's performance, not our performance.
Another way to put this is to affirm that grace, not law, produces love-the love for God and neighbor that Jesus teaches (Luke 10:27). His love for us begets love from us.

Titan May Have Ocean
olsmeister (1488789) writes | more than 3 years ago0
olsmeister (1488789) writes "In the seven years Cassini has spent orbiting Saturn, the spacecraft has sent back mountains of data that has changed our view of the ringed planet and its moons. Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has been a particular focus of attention because of its dense, complex atmosphere, its weather and its lakes and oceans.
Now it looks as if Titan is even stranger still. The evidence comes from careful observations of Titan's orbit and rotation. This indicates that Titan has an orbit similar to our Moon's: it always presents the same face towards Saturn and its axis of rotation tilts by about 0.3 degrees.
Together, these data allow astronomers to work out Titan's moment of inertia and this throws up something interesting. The numbers indicate that Titan's moment of inertia can only be explained if it is a solid body that is denser near the surface than it is at its centre."

Somebody just lay it out.
|what really happens
80 minute run Sunday
60 on tuesday
60 on thursday
on monday, wednesday and friday you have your workouts which consist of sandusky chasing you around the track. the slowest guy in the workout.... well he is just a little more sore the following day
|laying it on thick
1) train hard & get really fit to run fast at indoor meets in Jan. (this will garner numerous letsrun fanboy threads).
2) flame out later in the spring/summer when it matters most
3) repeat
|your answer
1. Fall down.
2. Get dq
3. Try to blame everyone else for it.
|Dress for success
As usual, haters gonna hate. Must suck to be D3.
|Do the math...
Haters can hate...
But stats don't lie. True account.
Yeah your right, Loxsom running 1:45 consistently throughout the summer is blowing up and peeking too early. Definitely.
I do not think it is fair to say they flame out come outdoors. Cas ran outstanding after his freshman year all the way into july(world jr's). I know from looking at the results that they do have a few guys that struggle outdoors after monster indoors. But that could be a number of factors and if someone told me I could run 2:19.x for the 1000 and maybe struggle outdoors alittle bit. I'd take that
|gucci burr
that is hilarious. literally lol'd
|Good Stuff
Lets not forget the qualifying process for NCAA's - indoors you have to run one of the top 16 times in the country to make it - so you better be ready to go during the indoor season if you want to make it. Outdoors you just have to run one of the top 48 times in your region, then it is head to head.
PSU's top guys have made it to both indoor nationals and outdoor finals the last few years. Loxsom ran 1:45 three times in June, Foster ran 3:39 at the end of June. Dawson ran an outdoor PR of 1:48 in his last race last spring while red-shirting. Doesn't sound like a flame out to me.
So no one can just give some insight? Like how does cas train different than the dawsons and foster, etc? Come on PSU guys I know you read this
The key to the PSU MD success is to recruit 1:18 600/1:49 800 guys like Loxsom and 1:49 high school guys like Foster. Any DIII coach would get similar results from working with guys like this. D1 is all about recruiting. You are looking in the wrong place if you are trying to find MD training secrets here.
Okay... Pretty sure both Foster and Loxom were 1:51 guys in high school. Also, Creese was 1:54 in high school. He pred by two or three seconds and then ran a 27-28 final 200. I saw him do it. It was amazing. Foster ran about 2;24/2:25. He hit the wall after leading through 800...
Explain those results. How does Creese go from 1:54 to 1:51-1:52 as a SPLIT?
You either hit your splits in training or you get sent to Sandusky's place.
|Reality Bath
You guys are way off base with the Sandusky jokes. 17 or 18 year-old freshmen are way too old for Jerry.
|I read the whole thing
Just because Creese's 800 pr from high school is 1:54, it doesn't mean that is the fastest he could of ran. He ran 4:10 his junior year, and just split 1:52 in a 1000m. Realistically he had the ability to run around 1:50 last spring, but never got the opportunity. Still a great race though.
Penn State seems to really focus on mid distance. If you put a lot of resources into a specific event in college, there will be great results. Look at XC at Wisconsin, Jumps at Florida, or the 400 at Baylor. Penn States training is going to be very similar to any other mid distance training, they just have the athletes and training group to get top times.
Oh get out of here. I ran with a 4:12 high school miler and he ran the 800 multiple times and never ran faster than 1:55. My state has a 4:10-4:15 guy every year, but only a 1:50 800m runner a few times a decade. A 4:10 does not equal 1:50. Admit it, Creese improved. A lot.
I don't argue he has improved a lot and the PSU coaches clearly know what they have been doing looking at Foster, Loxsom, Dawson...
Creese did run a 152.5 split at NBIN last year in the 1600 SMR, and the 1:54 is from his junior year. He got sick during his senior year outdoor and probably did not perform up to his potential.
|PSU yea

The Real Housewives of NYC have banded together against the Bravo Network -- REFUSING to continue on the show unless they ALL get huge raises, TMZ has learned.
Sources tell us ... LuAnn de Lesseps, Carole Radziwill, Aviva Drescher, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan and Heather Thomson were recently approached by Bravo individually with contract offers to appear on Season 6, which is supposed to begin production on Monday.
But the women were each unhappy with the offers ... and figured they would have more leverage against the network if they teamed up ... just like the cast of "Friends" did back in the day.
We're told the women approached Bravo as a group and made their demand clear -- FAT RAISES FOR ALL ... OR WE QUIT.
Here's where it gets interesting -- sources tell us the network is FURIOUS ... and has told the group they have until Friday (tomorrow) to sign the offers that are currently on the table, or they're all FIRED.
Translation -- IT'S A STANDOFF!!!!!
One thing to consider -- Season 5 of "NYC Housewives" was one of the lowest rated seasons in the show's run.
A rep for Bravo had no comment on the situation.
Let them quit cause last season was the worst in housewives history.
Yes! Please quit! Only retards watch this scripted "reality TV" crap!! It's the most useless thing on TV and it makes people only dumber.
Fire them all! The show is old and beyond boring.
They are making huge salaries already but have
to be greedy.
I really hope the show is ended. AND OC, NJ and
Ok, good riddance.
Reality TV is DEAD.
Only bottom feeders are still milking this cow...
Bravo is whipped !! This has happened before and they end up paying the money! These women have no idea how lucky they are to be making " anything " for doing " nothing " . Let them start working 8-5 !
They're not going to fire Ramona no matter what...these other ladies need to watch it, especially Luanne, Aviva, and Sonja.
C ya
New York housewives suck anyways... Pull them off the air.. bYE
Boring low life pretentious botox wives... No one watch them yet they have season 6? Yet Emily owens m.d. Cant even get to season 2? Crazy world we live in.
good i hope they don't get a raise!! greedy
See ya ... NO talents.
fire them all! NY is the worst "housewives" by far
I watched just one of the episodes with this group of wives. My advice to BRAVO. CANCEL this show. It is boring and makes NYC look horrible. Wednesday, Countless LuAnn was on QVC trying to sell melamine dishes. LOL.
Paid more money for doing what?? For showing up to contrived situations while cameras follow to capture to capture their over the top behavior? Don't these women know the world is mocking them? I am so tired of these reality "stars" feeling entitled to hefty paychecks and fame when they add absolutely NOTHING to this world. Sad that people watch so networks keep cranking these shows out.

Beginners Guide to Eating Vegan Around Highland Park in L.A. »
Move somewhere new, and then pinpoint the nearest vegan donut. That's the best practice, right? Luckily for me, I moved to the Eagle Rock-Highland Park border in Los Angeles, where there just happens to be a gooey epic of a donuttery rightfully named Donut Friend.
Ah, Donut Friend, the glaze-coated BFF you've always dreamed of, topped liberally with rainbow sprinkles.
Owned by musician-record producer Mark Trombino, Donut Friend on York at 51st has all kinds of crazy delicious donut combos — or "signature combinations" — named after bands. All the donuts are vegan and most of the fillings and toppings are vegan too (everything is clearly marked).
Recently, I got the Nutellavision, a fluffy sugar donut injected with vegan Nutella and topped with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of salt. WHAT. I would also recommend Rites of Sprinkles, Drive Like Jelly, and Bacon 182, with vegan bacon.
Also on the same strip of York there's new-ish pizza place, Town. They always have two vegan slice options behind the glass along with regular pizza, and those vegan slices are thin crust heaven. They do one with Daiya vegan cheese and one cheese-less option, with rotating toppings.
Sandwiched in between Donut Friend and Town, there's Scoops, which is another branch of the popular LA ice cream shop with inventive flavors including many vegan scoops. Recent non-dairy options include salty chocolate, maple Oreo, and Cinnamon Coconut Burnt Sugar. So yes, three amazingly vegan/vegan-friendly none-to-healthy shops dotting the same small strip of land. It's all just so decadent.
I promise there are other streets besides York. Highland Park also boasts tempeh-bacon experts/mostly vegan & gluten-free Kitchen Mouse Cafe on Figueroa. The adorable breakfast spot serves the popular Buffalo Bowl with brown rice, black beans, collard greens, yams, and topped with dill cashew and buffalo sauces, along with more perfect brunch dishes like the smoky Tempeh Reuben, served open-face, with caraway sauerkraut, cashew cheese, and chipotle aioli. Not only do they have a way with tempeh bacon, they've really mastered sauces here.
For a tad fancier evening out than say, splitting a jelly donut on the walk home, there are a few vegan options at popular sit-down Italian eatery Maximiliano, including the vegan pizza with pomodoro, spinach, mushroom, kalamata olive, eggplant, and best of all, truffle oil.
You could also try Good Girl Dinette on 56th at Figueroa, a very vegan-friendly Vietnamese diner with vegetarian pho with rice noodles and tofu, mushroom imperial rolls, and rice cakes with crisp scallion tofu.
Around the Highland Park-Eagle Rock border, there's also pop-up Plant Food for People, which shows up regularly at vegan grocer-deli Organix in Eagle Rock on Colorado, the Eagle Rock Brewery in Glassell Park, and many neighborhood spots. They make the best jackfruit tacos you've ever had, hands down.
And speaking of Organix, stop by this small grocer for your essentials (Earth Balance cheddar squares and Kombucha) but also for that little window of a deli. It's a porthole to sandwich paradise.
Their sandwiches often come decked out in Beyond Meat and Veganaise, or in the case of the Pulled Pork, shredded jackfruit and cabbage slaw. The seasonal menu also includes gourmet vegan hot dogs, a fried "chicken" sandwich, veggie burgers, and the Poncho (Vegan Carne Asada) burrito. Everything I've tried there so far has been worth the wait.
In fact, Organix is the first spot a friend recommended when I mentioned I'd be moving to the area. And what a great suggestion it was.
This leads me to my next point: Surely there are more spots I haven't yet discovered in the Highland Park/Eagle Rock/Glassell Park region — vegan meals that I've missed with this tasty breakdown. Let me know in the comments. And hey, let's split a vegan donut when you're in the neighborhood.

Veggie Prom West (aka LA knows how to party!) PLUS $10 off for Vegansaurs! »
Following in the footsteps of the successful NYC Veggie Prom, it's time for the west coast to get in on the fun! The 2014 beneficiaries are The Gentle Barn, and the Animal Advocacy Museum. There will be music, dancing, complimentary vegan food and drinks, prom photos, prom court (vote here!), flash mobs portraying iconic prom scenes (Hand Jive from Grease, anyone?!), and raffle prizes donated by vegan companies (like Phoney Baloney's and The Tree Kisser apparel). So, basically, there's NO excuse not to come!
The event is 21+ and will be held at the Animal Advocacy Museum in Woodland Hills, California on June 28th from 7pm-12am.
USE THE CODE "VEGANSAURUS" TO GET $10 OFF YOUR TICKET! (Good for one week from today.) Tickets are $55 ($65 at the door, if they're not sold out). This ticket price includes complementary hors d'voeuvres and unlimited spiked (or unspiked) punch, samples of Hint Water, two raffle tickets, and more shall be revealed!
Whether you hated your prom, skipped (or missed) it, or had the time of your life, you can have a whole new prom experience of vegan awesomeness!
Here's a little throwback to mine (from way back in 1999):
I think I went to the actual dance for all of 15 minutes. The remainder of the night (and well into the next morning) consisted of dinner at my favorite vegan-friendly restaurant (I still love you, Harmony Cafe!!!), cheap beer (thank you prom date's mom!), a hotel room with a hot tub, a "chaperone" (my, then, 19-year-old cousin who passed out early while the rest of us got wasted in said hot tub), and a major make out session (#noregrets). Needless to say, it was a fun night (miraculous, considering my original prom date bailed on me the week before because he reunited with his girlfriend). Upon reflection, it sounds kind of like a tamer version of The Hangover.
Regardless, bring a date, come with a group of friends, or fly solo to this kick ass event!!!! (GO BUY TICKETS NOW!)
Even in flat shoes, I was towering over my date. (For the record, he was my buddy, and wasn't the guy I had the make out session with.)

This weekend: Artisanal LA Spring show with Courtesan Cupcakes! »
Plans this weekend? Why not hit up this artisanal spring show in downtown Los Angeles? It looks like Etsy in action. I LOVE ETSY! I wish I could go, but I'm moving. You know how that is: lifting heavy boxes and waiting for the electric/internet/gas company to show up and set things up. Exciting! Exhausting! Maybe I'll go on Sunday, we'll see! My heart wants what it wants, and that just so happens to be sweets by Jessika Lauren's Courtesan Cupcakes, and she'll be there! I'm dying to try her stuff—it's all so beautiful and 100% vegan. Plus, our LA vegan queen (via London now, I know), Quarrygirl, says those cupcakes are some of THE BEST!
I love these events because I always find fun vegan goodies that aren't necessarily geared towards vegans, ya know? Presale tix are $12 and available right here. Otherwise, it's $15 at the door. Happy shopping!

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream has SEVEN vegan flavors! We try the Salted Caramel! »
The popular NYC ice cream company Van Leeuwen now has 7 vegan flavors you can buy in stores!!!! THIS IS THE BEST! Why didn't you tell me? Well actually I saw the banana nut flavor but didn't really feel like trying, though I thought it was cool they had an exotic vegan flavor. But I didn't know they had a million vegan flavors! So I saw this Salted Caramel—with Maldon, my favorite salt! (SHUT UP)—at Union Market in Brooklyn and I had to try it because I am such a scientist.
It's delicious! Creamy, salty, caramel-goodness. It's very rich, I don't know how much I could eat in one sitting, but so good. Top a slice of vegan apple pie with a scoop of this and you'll probably die of happiness. But it'll be worth it!
As you see, these are all soy-free. I know some of you like that. They didn't have the Coffee Crunch at Union Market and YOU KNOW I love coffee ice cream! But Van Leeuwen's FB says they have it at the Whole Foods in BK. I hope they also have the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk!
More exciting news: looks like Van Leeuwen has branched out to LA! Their FB seems to have the truck in Venice mostly but they also said you can get all the vegan flavors at The Oaks Gourmet at 1915 n. Bronson ave. So there you go LA, you get all the good vegan stuff!
Has anyone tried the Coffee Crunch? TELL ME ABOUT IT!

Take a peek inside Beyond Meat's headquarters! Plus, coupon for Vegansaurus readers! »
Vegan meat substitutes are officially taking over the world right now, at least according to The New York Times, Fast Company, and my tummy.
I recently visited LA, and while I was in town posting pics of enormous gluten-free vegan pretzels from Sage, Beyond Meat messaged me on Instagram notifying me that I was selected as the "fan of the month," and invited me to visit their office in El Segundo! What an honor! Of course I accepted their invitation!
Vegansaurus' Sarah and her brother Asher visiting the Beyond Meat offices in El Segundo.
The Beyond Meat staff was so incredibly welcoming and friendly! I love it when vegan companies are as epic towards their fellow human beings as they are towards non-human animals. Let's just say the warmth and idealism was brimming over throughout the sunny, El Segundo open-floor plan office. I love that Beyond Meat is doing a campaign to reduce meat consumption by 25% in the next 20 years!
Other office highlights: I got a Beyond Meat t-shirt, I met an adorable puppy named Winnie, and got to see the talented Beyond Meat chef cooking up some new products that are too top secret to mention here!
Winnie, the cutest office dog ever, plays with the Beyond Meat family.
Vegansaurus' Sarah making beef-free Beyond Meat with her vegan brother Asher in Echo Park!
Beyond Meat Beef-free crumbles are so delicious in pasta sauce!
After Beyond Meat showed me their great office and gave me and my brother a bunch of beef-free crumbles and chicken-free strips, I served Beyond Meat beef-free crumbles to a bunch of omnivores in the form of pasta sauce. Everyone thought the product was delicious! Beyond Meat's team also told me some top secret details about new products coming out, and while I'm not allowed to spill the beans, OMG, you guys, this is a very good time to be a plant eater!
Beyond Meat is available at select grocery and health food stores nationwide.
EXCLUSIVE: Vegansaurus readers can get a $2 off coupon by clicking here!

Della: vegan, socially responsible accessories and tech cases! »
Della is a socially responsible fashion line that provides jobs, education and skills training to women and men of Hohoe, Ghana. So the company sounds pretty amazing, but the bags also look super cute! And I just so happen to need a little sleeve for my bitty work computer! AND 30% of all sales for THIS WEEK are being donated to PETA! It's DESTINY. So I bought this cute vintage coral one. I'm in love.
No really, this is just what I was looking for. I have a giant bag with a big open interior. So far, I just shove my work macbook in when I need to bring it home but I'm always like, "this seems like the worst idea ever." Well, never no more! I now have a perfect responsibly-made macbook sleeve to protect it.
And as I was saying, the company looks really awesome. It was started by an LA designer and an entrepreneur in Ghana as a way to help the women of the Hohoe community. The women who make the Della products not only make a fair wage, they also take classes in literacy and finance. You can read all about it on their site. Here's a little peek inside the company:
If you are looking for a cute bag, laptop case, headband, or THIS FREAKING AWESOME POCKET SQUARE, check out Della! And if you want to support PETA, this is the week to shop!

Sidewalk, Heal Thyself: New Cement Repairs Cracks in Itself
CREDIT: Designm.ag
Cracks in cement sidewalks and walls could someday vanish from modern city life but only if concrete is able to evolve into a self-healing material. Now, a Ph.D. student in Spain has demonstrated how new generations of cement could also act as heat regulators that may boost energy efficiency in cities.
One part of the new cement recipe includes microcapsules which release gluelike epoxy resin to repair any cracks. That extends the life of concrete structures before humans need to worry about repairing or replacing them. (Previously, other researchers have tried using genetically modified microbes to create a bacterial glue, or even carbon nanotubes to make cement crack-proof.)
The second part of the new recipe comes from so-called phase change materials which can absorb or release large amounts of heat based on phase changes, such as changing from a solid to liquid. That innovative addition came from Idurre Kaltzakorta, a chemist at the University of the Basque Country in Spain, based on her recently defended Ph.D. thesis.
Self-healing cement that also stores heat could help create more energy-efficient buildings by regulating their temperature. That seems like a suitable fit for the so-called smart cities of the future, especially in combination with the self-healing capability.
The new work has led to a patent perhaps another step toward a more secure energy future .

Hard Candy ShockDrop Case for iPad Air (Gallery)
Summary: The new silicone rubber and polycarbonate case for iPad Air from Hard Candy provides a lightweight but still protective alternative to Otterbox, Griffin, Trident and other extreme-protection products.
1 of 5Image
Hard Candy Shockdrop Packaging
The Hard Candy Shockdrop is one of the first Silicone/Polycarbonate shock absorbent cases avaliable for the iPad Air. It's currently selling on Amazon for $50 in two color options, bright red or black.
For more about the Hard Candy Shockdrop, read Jason Perlow's review here.
Hard Candy Shockdrop Components
Unlike other ultra-protective options from Otterbox, Griffin, Trident and others, the Hard Candy iPad Air case simply consists of a very thick silicone cover (10mm corner protection) with a rigid polycarbonate permanent screen protector frame. The lack of a complete clamshell polycarbonate design means it is probably less protective than the ultra-protective solutions out there, but it only adds 9oz of weight to the iPad Air, making it a good compromise.

All right, lads, we're on the air! Tune in anytime you like over the next fourteen or so hours for punk, post-punk, house, dance, groove, Madchester, baggy, electronica, Britpop, rock, mod, world, Northern soul, and whatever else we end up feeling like. Good music, (intermittent) good conversation, and a half-decent consolation prize for not being able to be at the actual Haçienda Good Friday party.
Update: we've played the Three Before Eight and Frank Wilson's "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)," so that calls an end to this all-nighter. It was a brilliant time and we're definitely going to have to do this again one day, but for now, thanks for dropping by, and we'll let you know next time we do a DJ set over at the Festival of the Twenty-Eighth Summer.

Ok, I´ll jump in. This is a worthy subject to discuss at LDot, and not just because of the current buzz about banishing "bossy". It´s a timeless question, and one that every woman wants an honest opinion of from men whose opinion they respect.And I don´t believe that they really want to hear what we think is "beautiful." They know. No, what they really want to know is what is "subconsciously seductively attractive", as in...I know I´m not beautiful but what makes men (a) drawn irresistibly to me, (b) want me, and (c) ultimately want to stay with me.Parts a and b are too easy. It´s part c that´s the life changer. Even some very beautiful women never learn. it.So here it is...learn to be comfortable in your own skin and exude a positive energy. About yourself. About others. About newness.Attractive women of whatever beauty or age don´t just have it, they radiate it.

#4 is correct. When adults are dating, both should be true to themselves. IF either one finds themselves acting "out of charactor" to behave in a way they perceive the other person wants them to behave..the relationship will not last.Be yourself, not everyone will like you, but that´s OK. Stop looking for a soulmate, the soulmate will find you.

He´s right about the 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, Jane was miscast and it makes a difference for those of us who read the book. He´s also right about the actress who plays Mary in the current Sherlock series. As for being kinder and less bossy transforming bitter feminists, dream on.

Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice hasn't had the best season statistically so far.
The running back out of Rutgers University doesn't have a single 100 yard rushing game, and probably the reason for his bad start to the season, is a nagging hip injury that has bothered him, he won't admit it but that's one of the factors to his woeful start.
With the pace Rice is on, he could by the end of the year rush for less than 600 yards, and as a team the Ravens are on pace to have the worst rushing average in league history.
The Cincinnati Bengals 10th ranked run defense, must perform better than what they did in Miami last Thursday, giving up over 100 yards on the ground in the 1st half of the game.
Rice in his career against Cincinnati has fare very well, in 10 of the meetings, 8 of them he has a rushing touchdown in which the games he has played. So, even with his struggles this season, he is more than capable of having a big day, without Geno Atkins to stop him in the middle of the running game.
Contain Rice is vital for the defense, you do that and make Quarterback Joe Flacco throw ball like 50 times, chances are you probably going to walk out of M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday with a victory.
Practice Notes: For the second straight day, Tight End Jermaine Gresham didn't participate in practice. He has a groin injury, that has been bothering after the Miami game last week.
But according to Head Coach Marvin Lewis he said Gresham will be fine, and the forecast for him playing in the game on Sunday is "partly sunny".
On the DNP list today, are DT Devon Still (elbow) and LB Rey Maualuga (knee/concussion). RB Giovani Bernard, in practices today and yesterday was limited, because he suffered a rib injury late in that game against the Dolphins last week.
