Bill Parcells: I had to be talked into coming to the Dolphins and I left too soon
- 12:51 pm Thursday, July 18th, 2013 by Andrew Abramson
Bill Parcells had to be talked into coming to the Dolphins in 2008 and left less than three years later when things got political, the soon-to-be Hall of Fame coach told reporters on a conference call on Wednesday.
Parcells will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 3. And while the Dolphins will be playing in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, it's a safe bet that Parcells' brief tenure as executive vice president in Miami won't be a focal point when he earns football's highest honor.
"I've thought about it a lot," said Parcells of his time in Miami. "When I came there I really had to be talked into coming there. I didn't anticipate obviously the ownership change (from Wayne Huizenga to Stephen Ross). Not that I didn't get along with either of the owners that were there because I did, but I was trying to take young guys — a first time head coach (Tony Sparano), first time GM (Jeff Ireland), and then when you throw in a first-time owner, that's a difficult dynamic."
Parcells left early in his third season with Miami. He said he thought he made the right decision at the time, but now believes he shouldn't have left the way he did.
"I think my leaving created a situation that was not good for the Dolphins, retrospectively," Parcells said. "I thought i was doing the right thing to let these guys go and take it on their own, but retrospectively I don't think it was the right thing. I just saw things happen that i know, and I'm not talking about on the field stuff, I'm just talking about the political aspect. I saw things happen I would have made efforts to try to avoid."
Notebook: Miami Dolphins to play Dallas Cowboys in Hall of Fame Game; re-sign OL Nate Garner
- 12:37 pm Tuesday, March 19th, 2013 by Post Staff
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – A trio of notes from the NFL Owners Meetings:
1. Dolphins to face Cowboys in preseason Hall of Fame Game.
The Dolphins have been one of the biggest stories in the NFL over the last week after signing WR Mike Wallace, LB Dannell Ellerbe and several other free agents. And they'll get to show off their shiny new toys on national television a month before the regular season begins.
The NFL announced today that the Dolphins will play the Cowboys in the annual Hall of Fame Game at Fawcett Stadium in Canton, Ohio on Sunday, Aug. 4. It's the fourth time the Dolphins will play in Canton – they previously played there in 2005, 2001 and 1978 – and kickoff will be at 8 p.m. on NBC. It's the 50th edition of the game, which began in 1962 but was not held in 1966 and 2011. Tickets went on sale at 11 a.m.
The game is held the day after the Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony, and the whole weekend ties in well – among the seven inductees is Bill Parcells, the former Cowboys coach and Dolphins football boss.
Washed Out: Player-by-player look at the Miami Dolphins' failed draft classes of 2008 and 2009
- 12:37 pm Monday, March 18th, 2013 by Post Staff
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The 2008 draft class was supposed to signal the start of a glorious new era of Dolphins football. The legendary Bill Parcells was running the show, the Dolphins had the No. 1 overall pick for the first time in franchise history and they also had two second-round picks to help stock the team with young talent.
Five years later, a time when those players should be the young, veteran leaders on the Dolphins, that draft class has been completely wiped out now that Jake Long has chosen to sign with the Rams.
None of the nine players selected by Parcells and GM Jeff Ireland lived up to the hype. Long was headed down a Hall of Fame path after reaching the Pro Bowl in his first four seasons, but a multitude of injuries, plus an offensive scheme switch last offseason, have taken their toll. The only rookies still left from the 2008 team are a couple of undrafted rookies: WR Davone Bess and K Dan Carpenter.
To add more context: The Dolphins still have more players remaining from Cam Cameron's 2007 draft class (Paul Soliai, Brandon Fields) than remain from the 2008 draft. And that 2007 team went 1-15.
The 2009 class didn't fare much better. Two high picks (Pat White, Patrick Turner) were cut after one season. The only players left are WR Brian Hartline (fourth round) and S Chris Clemons (fifth round).
A look at both draft classes and what happened to each player:
Alabama coach Nick Saban reveals details over departure from Miami Dolphins; admits he wanted Drew Brees; defends himself on Jeno James treatment
- 9:34 pm Monday, December 17th, 2012 by Post Staff
Nick Saban's Alabama Crimson Tide is playing Notre Dame for the BCS Championship on Jan. 7 at Sun Life Stadium, and Saban knows he is going to get asked about his controversial two-year tenure as Dolphins coach at some point during the week leading up to the game.
Instead of waiting to get down here with his team, Saban appeared on Dan LeBatard's radio show on 790-AM Monday and was surprisingly humble, candid and apologetic about the way he left the Dolphins, bolting for Alabama two weeks after saying, "I'm not going to be the Alabama coach."
Saban's name is still a dirty word among many Dolphins fans, and he was asked if he would do anything differently.
"I think the biggest thing was probably not handling the way I left very well, and that's always been a thing with me that I've never really ever felt good about," said Saban, 61. "I learned a lot. Sometimes you wish you would've done things differently. I think I'm a better person because of that circumstance and situation, I learned a lot from it and I'll just leave it at that."
Wednesday talking points: Cam Wake has gotten Niners' attention
- 5:29 pm Wednesday, December 5th, 2012 by Brian Biggane
Some talking points for a Wednesday afternoon as we wonder whether the Dolphins will be able to get back on the horse for the second half of the imposing Patriots-49ers one-two punch:
1. Cam Wake has gotten the attention of both coach Jim Harbaugh and quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
While his 10.5 sacks put him in the select company of only seven players who have 10 or more, Wake still is well back of San Francisco's Aldon Smith, whose 17.5 put him two above runnerup J.J. Watt of Houston. But Harbaugh and Kaepernick have both seen enough tape this week to know their line has its work cut out to keep Wake in check come Sunday.
"A huge challenge," Harbaugh said on a conference call Wednesday. "Athletic, explosive, heavy hands. He's outstanding. Their entire defensive front plays well together and (is) very talented."
"He's a great pass rusher," Kaepernick added. "He's a great defensive player and someone we have to be aware of." [More]
Miami Dolphins Talking Points: Transition to 4-3 defense shouldn't be too difficult
- 9:13 pm Sunday, July 15th, 2012 by Post Staff
A trio of Dolphins talking points to jumpstart your Monday:
1. Transition to 4-3 defense shouldn't be too difficult.
Throughout the offseason, we've told you that the Dolphins are switching to a 4-3 defense under new coordinator Kevin Coyle after playing the 3-4 scheme since the 2005 season.
Several players will be playing different positions or have different gap responsibility this year to better take advantage of their pass-rushing speed: Outside linebackers like Cameron Wake and Jamaal Westerman move to defensive end, defensive end Randy Starks and nose tackle Paul Soliai move to defensive tackle, inside linebacker Kevin Burnett becomes the "Sam" linebacker, Karlos Dansby becomes the "Mike" and strong outside linebacker Koa Misi becomes the "Will" linebacker.
But Coyle doesn't expect the transition to be too difficult. In a recent interview with the Cincinnati Enquirer – Coyle coached the Bengals' secondary for the last 11 seasons – Coyle said that the Dolphins ran a true 3-4 defense just 12 percent of the time last year.
The rest of the time the Dolphins were in sub packages – Nickel, Dime, goal line, etc. – many of which looked like the 4-3 defense, especially when Wake lined up with his hand in the dirt.
Chronological recap of the Miami Dolphins' 2012 offseason
- 1:36 pm Tuesday, July 10th, 2012 by Post Staff
"You may ask yourself, well, how did I get here?"
— The Talking Heads, "Once in a lifetime"
Today is July 10, exactly one month before the Dolphins' first preseason game at home against Tampa Bay. And the news wires are a little slow in the NFL these days.
The only thing that qualifies as an NFL event between now and the start of training camp is Thursday's supplemental draft, in which one team – maybe the Dolphins – will draft an interesting receiver named Josh Gordon. A source says the Dolphins were in attendance at Gordon's Pro Day on Tuesday, but so were about two dozen teams.
Other than that, we have 17 more days to kill until the Dolphins begin training camp.
But a lot has happened leading up to today — a new coaching staff was hired, new schemes are being implemented on both sides of the ball, several key pieces were added and subtracted, the fans revolted (and calmed down) and the Dolphins drafted a first-round quarterback for the first time since Dan Marino.
To paraphrase David Byrne, how did we get here? Let's take a chronological look back at Dolphins' offseason, beginning with the season-ending victory over the Jets and leading us up to today.
Miami Dolphins Talking Points: Stephen Ross distances himself from previous regime, and signing Chad Ochocinco was purely a football move
- 8:46 am Tuesday, June 12th, 2012 by Post Staff
A trio of Dolphins talking points to jumpstart your Tuesday:
1. Stephen Ross distances himself from the previous football regime.
When Ross assumed majority control of the Dolphins in January 2009, he inherited a football regime in Bill Parcells, Jeff Ireland and Tony Sparano that was coming off a wildly successful 11-5 season. It was also a regime that played by its own rules, and was skeptical of Ross, a first-time owner who didn't know much about the way things work in the NFL.
The two sides never really connected – Ross didn't agree with the culture of secrecy instilled by Parcells, and Parcells in turn left before the 2010 season. Ross tried to replace Sparano after the 2010 season, and did it for real before the end of 2011, thanks to three straight losing seasons.
Now, Ross is starting over with Joe Philbin as his coach. And speaking with season ticket holders on a conference call Monday night, Ross did everything he could to distance himself from the previous regime.
"As you know, I didn't make the decision to hire the former coach, and wasn't really involved in that administration and that decision making," Ross said. "Right now I guess I can be judged by how this head coach does, how this administration does."
Talking Points: Miami Dolphins' quarterback depth among the best in the NFL
- 11:40 am Thursday, June 7th, 2012 by Post Staff
A trio of Miami Dolphins talking points to help go you through your Thursday:
1. Dolphins' quarterback depth among the best in the league.
It's weird to say, considering that the Dolphins' inability to find a quarterback has been the prime reason for their futility over the past 12 seasons.
But it's true – the Dolphins currently have a solid, though not exactly spectacular, stable of quarterbacks on the roster. And this isn't just my opinion – the NFL folks at ESPN agree.
Yesterday they released an article that ranks all 32 backup quarterback situations, and the Dolphins came in third, behind Dallas (Kyle Orton) and Tennessee (Matt Hasselbeck/Jake Locker).
Former Miami Dolphins great Jason Taylor joins ESPN as NFL analyst
- 1:06 pm Wednesday, June 6th, 2012 by Post Staff
It didn't take long for Jason Taylor to figure out his first post-retirement move. And he might get a chance to reunite with his buddy Bill Parcells.
Taylor, who retired from the NFL after the Dolphins' final game of 2011, has officially joined ESPN as an NFL analyst, the network announced. Taylor, who played 13 of his 15 NFL seasons with the Dolphins, will appear on NFL Live, NFL32 and SportsCenter, in addition to contributing to Sunday NFL Countdown and Monday Night Countdown, according to a press release.
"Jason worked as a guest analyst in studio on a few shows last year, and we were extremely impressed with his performance and the depth of knowledge he was able to share with viewers," said Seth Markman, ESPN senior coordinating producer for NFL studio shows. "He comes across as smooth on the air as he was in rushing the passer all those years as a player, and we expect him to make a big impact right away on our ESPN team."

this(let's remember)day died again and
again;whose golden,crimson dooms conceive
an oceaning abyss of orange dream
larger than sky times earth:a flame beyond
soul immemorially forevering am-
and as collapsing that grey mind by wave
doom disappeared,out of perhaps(who knows?)
eternity floated a blossoming
(while anyone might slowly count to soon)
rose-did you see her?darling,did you(kiss
me)quickly count to never?you were wrong
-then all the way from perfect nowhere came
(as easily as we forget something)
livingest the imaginable moon
by e. e. cummings
A scent of ripeness from over a wall.
And come to leave the routine road
And look for what had made me stall,
There sure enough was an apple tree
That had eased itself of its summer load,
And of all but its trivial foliage free,
Now breathed as light as a lady's fan.
For there had been an apple fall
As complete as the apple had given man.
The ground was one circle of solid red.
May something go always unharvested!
May much stay out of our stated plan,
Apples or something forgotten and left,
So smelling their sweetness would be no theft.

you do not have a soul
you are a soul
you have a body

With name cleared, Romero has piece of mind
Having spent more than three years insisting he did not knowingly ingest a performance-enhancing substance during the 2008 season, new Cardinals reliever J.C. Romero arrived at the organization's Winter Warm-Up event this weekend with the peace of mind that his name has now been cleared.
Romero has been vindicated…
Anyone out there remembers J.C. Romero being given a 50 day suspension at the start of the 2009 season because in 2008 he had tested positive for banned substances, although he had claimed that he had only taken supplements that he had purchased at a local vitamin chain store, and had been assured that it was okay to take the supplements after he had first gotten in touch with the...

Obsession du Jour: Jon Jacobsen C-type 2013 Photography
Found some nail art that I could probably wear for an entire year and still be in love with it!
Not all of us are ambidextrous. I mean I can barely manage keeping within the lines using my dominant hand. When you do your own nails, it's nice to have a polish that works with you. While I haven't tired I Love Nail Polish just yet, I can't help but think my nails would be a masterpiece using this lovely lacquer.
You see, design isn't just about the way a fabric drapes or the twist of metal so a necklace lays perfectly across the collarbone. There's a lot of designing that's done with beauty products as well (and while wearing a lab coat which is much, much cooler). Designer Barbara S loves nail polish so much that she created her own formula. Looking at the photos above, I'd say it's a winning formula… and time for a manicure!
Designer to Watch: I Love Nail Polish
Neutron Starlette, My Little Glacier, Nostalgia, $12.50
I wish I thought of this before throwing out left over nail stickers!
Christmas Tree nail art - I love this idea but that looks like a lot of work!
The latest nail color collection by O.P.I. has caught my eye as I'm going to San Francisco for the first time in November. I can't resist names like Haven't the Foggiest, First Date at the Golden Gate, and It's All San Andreas's Fault (very crafty indeed). Has anyone see these in person?
Though Marc Jacobs recently said his favorite nail polish is clear, it seems that mani-mania is still going strong on the runway. Kate Spade's theme at NYFW was "Places to Go, People To See", nails were a statement accessory that blended perfectly with the 1950's retro vibe.
For Honor's spring 2014 fashion show, celeb manicurist Deborah Lippmann created nail art inspired by the shoes models wore down the runway.
Doesn't seem like rocket science but at least it explains why we think our nail polish is dry when it really isn't!
This is why I love Pinterest:
I have an important trip to LA in a week and have been purposely growing out my nails for it. Style is important in the entertainment industry. Last night I tore my pinky nail but was determined to save it. I found this tutorial just now but used tea bag paper instead of fabric. Worked like a charm!
Where My Peeps At?
What's the point of accessorizing if you can't have a little fun? You don't have to wait for an Easter basket with a few of these Easter-inspired accessories!
Bit Of Sugar has replicated the marshmallow peep with clay (yay, vegan friendly!). In yellow, green, pink, blue or violet, pick one that's your favorite flavor and enjoy all year round without fear of cavities.
Now you can wear your Peeps on a shirt without having to spill any of that delicious sugar on yourself.
These rings are made from real candy that's coated in glitter and then sealed for preservation by the Miss Mercy shop on Etsy.
Then tie it all together with some Peep Me Pink nail lacquer.
That's enough pastels for this New Yorker. I'm hoppin' outta here.

What the numbers have to say about the impact of playing Governors Ball.
Over the past few years Governors Ball music festival has vastly expanded, in the number of days, acts and attendees. This past weekend saw three days of festival fun sprawled across Randall's Island. But what kind of impact did performing have for the artists? And how does it compare to previous years?
The size of the acts that are invited to perform varies from household names like Kings of Leon with more than 11 million Facebook page likes and Kanye West, who has more than 9.5 million followers on Twitter, to up-and-comers such as ON AN ON, who hit the Next Big Sound chart this January, and Bear Mountain, who only count about 3,300 Facebook page likes in total.
Polica and Kings of Leon were two of the acts that saw the highest increase in attention in the week surrounding the festival, compared to the week before. Polica saw more than 470% increase in the number of Twitter mentions, and Kings of Leon, whose headliner set was moved from Friday to Saturday due to heavy rain, saw close to a 315% increase. Bottom of the list are Divine Fits and Cold War Kids, who saw more than a 50% drop in mentions.
It is perhaps not surprising that the acts that saw the biggest boost in new Facebook page likes were some of the smallest in the line up, namely Swear and Shake and Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics, at 305% and 140% respectively. Kendrick Lamar attracted the highest number of new page likes at close to 80,000, a 28% jump from the week before.
Kendrick Lamar saw a big bump in new Facebook page likes around his set at Governors ball.
This year 60 acts took to the four stages set up for Governor's Ball, more than twice the number that played last year, and 5 times the number of acts that participated in 2011. Electronic producer Pretty Lights, who performed the inaugural year as well as this weekend, saw a 39% increase in Wikipedia views the first time around, compared to a 22% increase this year. However, he saw a 14% decrease in the number of new Facebook page likes in 2011, and a 24% increase now.
Comparing the impact on Wikipedia pageviews the week of Governors Ball from this year to last year it looks as though there is a slight bump in the amount of attention the festival brings to the bands that perform. The average increase was close to 9% this year, as opposed to only about 3% in 2012.
So it's looking good for the Manhattan music festival and if management intends to maintain the current trend and keep making Governors Ball bigger and better, one can only wonder what is next. Campsites? A full week of festivities? More mud? Who knows?

SEC Operations:
Oversight of Mutual Fund Industry Presents Management Challenges
GAO-04-584T: Published: Apr 20, 2004. Publicly Released: Apr 20, 2004.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-8678
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Having grown to over $7.5 trillion in assets, mutual funds have become vital components of the financial security of more than 95 million American investors. However, in 2003, various allegations of misconduct and abusive practices involving mutual funds came to light. Therefore, ensuring that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which has primary oversight of the mutual fund industry, has the necessary resources and strategic focus to adequately oversee fund practices has never been more important. To assess how SEC is positioned to oversee mutual funds, GAO reviewed (1) how the abusive mutual fund practices were identified and SEC's subsequent responses, (2) SEC's plans for increasing its staffing in the divisions and offices responsible for overseeing mutual funds and its progress in developing a new strategic plan to guide staff deployment, and (3) the challenges SEC faces in overseeing the mutual fund industry.
In late 2003, state law enforcement authorities were the first to bring to light various abusive practices in the mutual fund industry. SEC did not identify these practices because detecting fraud in routine examinations is difficult and it has been challenged to keep pace with the rapid growth of the mutual fund industry using its existing resources. However, since the abuses were identified SEC has acted vigorously to address these inappropriate practices, including taking various enforcement actions to punish wrongdoers and issuing numerous rule proposals designed to better prevent or detect abusive practices in the future. After years during which its workload grew faster than its resources, SEC recently received budget increases that have allowed it to significantly increase its staffing. SEC also plans to significantly increase the numbers of staff that oversee mutual funds. However, SEC made these allocation decisions without the benefit of an updated and complete strategic plan, which it is preparing but has yet to finalize. As a result, GAO was unable to determine whether SEC has optimally allocated its limited resources to achieve the greatest benefits. Although it has received additional resources in recent years, SEC faces a number of agencywide challenges impacting its mission and ability to oversee the mutual fund industry. These include improving its ability to better anticipate and detect problems in the industry and identifying and obtaining all the staff it needs to achieve its mission. SEC has experienced difficulty in effectively implementing various agencywide information technology initiatives, such as an electronic document imaging system and projects needed by units responsible for mutual funds. SEC also has various gaps in its authority that impede its ability to gather information, cooperate with other law enforcement authorities, and collect monies owed by violators.

A buddy and I were talking about Carolina players that we have liked.
We had three that came to mind;
Antawn Jamison - an absolute beast down low, great skills, great touch, never saw a single woof from him.
Sean May - reminded me a lot of Elton with those super soft hands and big body.
Tyler - I know he might be a bit nuts, but damn that boy works SO so hard, and never takes a play off. That grit would have been a nice compliment to Josh's game.
So, what about all of you? Come on, you might hate them, but you gotta respect some of those players in baby blue
Now the FANS... eh, not sure we have to respect THEM... but...
My buddy and I used to joke about how he would only touch the ball for 30 seconds but score 35 points. Well... maybe it wasn't a joke, but...
I can't stand Hansbrough. I know people who work at UNC's Montross camp, and all have stated he's a jerk. I'm not shocked by this, because he seems like a punk on the court. I respect his hustle, effort, and production, but I don't like his game and I don't get the feeling I'd like him.
Jamison was frustrating to watch, but he was really good. I guess I respected him. He didn't seem like a jerk.
Other guys who I respected from UNC included:
George Lynch
Eric Montross
Jawad Williams
Raymond Felton
Jackie Manual
That's about it. The rest, I could do without.
I liked Billy Cunningham and Bob Bennett.
I like Rasheed, but then again, I'm a Detroiter.
Michael Jordan
James Worthy
Sam Perkins
Brad Dougherty
Rick Duckette (walk on in the 70s, I coached little league with him in Winston Salem in 1978 and 79. He drinks Miller High Life in the original bottles. Nice guy, even if he went to carolina!)
Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!
Go To Hell carolina, Go To Hell!
Here's my list:
David Noel and that's it. He was a class act.
Including Hansbrough on your list should make you feel the need to take a bath. That guy is a jerk.
Lord Ash,
Without a doubt, Hubert Davis. Davis was a Crazie favorite, so much so that when he went down with an injury in Cameron, the Crazies clapped him up and did a Hubert/Davis clap5 cheer for him and he loved it.
I spoke to Hub years after that event, and he remembered that cheer and that particular play in Cameron.
Good guy.
I must say Felton was probably my favorite Tarheel. He hustled, kept a straight face, and spoke articulately during interviews.
My least favorite - Dirty sheed.
Eric Staal, Erik Cole, Ray Whitney, Cam Ward, Rod Brind'Amour, Jake Delhomme, Steve Smith, Mike Minter. Danielle Fotopoulous was pretty cool too. I haven't gotten out to see the Mudcats much.
Lord Ash is compiling a list of UNC players that he likes and soliciting others to add their favorites??? What is this world coming to? Shame, shame.
Hubert Davis
Michael Jordan - my wife went to Laney High - everyone says the guy was top notch
but my favorite was Brad Daugherty. Met him in Asheville, NC (near his hometown) and he was very intelligent, gracious, and pleasant. Really enjoyed him doing b-ball games. His work on the Duke v. Maryland "Gone in X seconds" game was great I thought (except- though no fault of his own - when ESPN - surprise/surprise - lost the feed in a crucial part of the game).
While I dont remember his college game, James Worthy was always a favorite of mine in the NBA. He always seemed like he spoke more with actions than words.
however, my all time favorite ACC player not from Duke is hands down Mark Price.
Cliff Morris, walk-on in the '80s and starting player on the Jordan High School State Championship team in 1981, currently a cardiologist. Thanks Cliffy! (I was captain of the Jordan cheerleaders that year.)
For some reason, there have been quite a few I've liked over the last couple seasons:
I don't really have anything against any of the current heels, which is odd...after 3 years of McCancer, it's a bit refreshing.
Jamison seemed like a good guy - I was in grad. school at Clemson when he and Carter were there - the most dominant guys I've ever seen that were hardly allowed to touch the ball, or so it seemed.
Montross, although a total goof, seemed like a fun guy
Easy to like Doherty now, but I honestly don't remember much about him when he played
Really respected Dean Smith and Gut
I don't dislike Roy, but I do find him to be disingenuine
All in all, a pretty likeable bunch in the past couple classes, which is odd; one would think I would like them less when they're beating us.
The rest can, well, go to hell.
Does Lawrence Taylor count?

However what this track is, is something to be listened too. It's also one that sneaks up on you in the sense of you find yourself listening to it ten times over to find all of the little neuances of how the cat's meow was shaped and tastefully placed. You can download this plus 2 tracks along with 3 remixes of this track for free on his bandcamp, just as an fyi I would listen to TB 2.2 as well. Alright! Gettin some reviews of the single. Glad to hear it's being enjoyed.

Daihatsu D-X portends a less endearing Copen successor
by Damon Lavrinc (RSS feed) on Nov 30th, 2011 at 10:26PM
We've always had a soft spot for the Daihatsu Copen. Granted, it always struck us as an overly effeminate Audi TT, but that's not a particularly bad thing. But after nearly a decade of production, Daihatsu has to move on, so across the way from the "Ultimate Edition" Copen at the Tokyo Motor Show is this, the Daihatsu DX concept. An odd amalgamation of Kei car size and SUV styling, the D-X features a retractable hard top and composite body panels that Daihatsu claims can be swapped out at will. Keeping within the Kei car limits in Japan, the D-X is powered by a turbocharged two-cylinder... Read More

2011 has got to be the best year of my life. I was more productive, I made more friends, I got skinny again, I improved my appearance a bit, I made a lot of contacts, and I actually noticed some improvement. Usually my friends tell me "Wow, you've improved a lot" and I respond "Really? I don't see it." But now sometimes I look in my sketchbooks and I go "Holy shit! Did I actually draw this?"
Before between 2009-2010, I was going through an extremely difficult time. My mother lost her job, I went through an identity crisis, I hated my artwork, and I was frustrated with my university (I still am). My break-through was becoming a Cast Member at Disneyworld but even then I still felt depressed. It wasn't until before 2011 when I finally decided to change my life a bit.
Let me summarize for every month since all of my friends did the same
January: I celebrated New Year at the happiest place on earth: Disneyworld. I made a resolution to be more active with my artwork from now on. When I returned to my home, I still felt funny. I was afraid of using the tablet so I decided to experiment with traditional tools such as acrylics and pens, as I was taking a class on that. It never worked. The date of that image may be from February, but this was technically finished on Jan.
February: I wanted a different pen so I bought a brush pen felt more comfortable with it. I was also experimenting with crazy 60s style font, which I haven't done recently. I was still afraid of the tablet so I tried coloring with watercolors. It got too complicated so I abandoned that medium.
March: I was still inking traditionally but I finally started coloring digitally. I chose to put more effort in my pictures this time, making them pop out and "wow" the viewers, especially if they were gift pictures.
April: I finally got over my silly phobia and returned to inking on the tablet. I entered a contest (using the Pokemon pic) and won first place to my surprise. It was a pointless contest but I gave me a tad more confidence in my artwork. I was still experimenting with my style.
May: When I found out that Edd Gould was in the hospital for cancer, I felt really terrible. I remember being devastated when my uncle has the malicious leukemia. I spent some time on his gift picture, just a little something to cheer him up. Next thing I knew I was overwhelmed with the positive feedback of this picture (Edd also liked it as well). This was the start of me becoming productive. I also entered a contest and put all of my effort into 3 digital images. I didn't win but I didn't care. I made 3 original images that received good feedback as well, so I was still happy.
June: This was the month where I started making new friends, including one of my favorite artists. I felt extremely grateful for the new people that started taking interest in my artwork. This was also the month where I was in a "Gift" mood. I made over 9 gift images!
July: I made a guest comic for Dumm Comics, one of my favorite webcomic sites. Everyone seemed to like it and I was offered to make more guest comics (I'm only sorry I didn't get to it). I also had my picture featured in an art show. 20 years old and I was posting up my art in a live gallery! I know some others accomplished that at a younger age but I was still honored. I was going out more, meeting more artists and talented people (Pen Ward), and having a grand summer even though I didn't get a chance to go to Comic Con. I was also told by John Kricfalusi, my idol, that I was very talented. Greatest moment of my life.
August: I ran through a bit of an art block but still managed to finish some pictures. I had another artwork posted up in a gallery. I was also preparing for my upcoming semester in the university. I thought I could handle the classes while remaining productive. Boy was I a fucking idiot.
September: I was struggling with my class while trying to update. I had my first livestream and used my Tumblr account a little more. My Mario art piece received over 300 notes and was featured in the Tumblr "Gaming" section. I was very proud.
October: This was a difficult month for me. I turned 21 and felt into my "I wasted all of my years" depression for a while, while struggling with my classes. I still managed to make a couple images but I was still going through a rough time. I was also eating poorly so I lost weight dramatically. I managed to gain it all back but I think I could lose a couple more pounds. But then I realized my problem: I wasn't drawing enough. So I forced myself to take my sketchbooks and fill a page everyday, which helped me a lot in the end.
November: I was still drawing a page per day in my sketchbook and experimenting with different mediums. I used colored pencils, pens, colored pens, brush pen, regular ink pens, and even my Eberhand Felt-Tip pens. I couldn't believe how much I was drawing. I was losing sleep but it was worth it. I developed my characters and drew a lot of Portal fanart as well. Now I'm afraid to draw Portal ever since I discovered the porn side of it (I'm still finishing the cards though) but it was fun anyway. I also watched the Muppets Movie that inspired me once again.
December: I chose this picture because it represents all I have learned this year. The month has not even ended and I'm amazed by my progress this year! I have made over 50 posts on Deviantart this year and posted over 100 art posts on this account! I am almost done with my two sketchbooks, I was considered the best student in my Animation class (according to my friend Eric Bauza), I made even more contacts, and I've made friends with the most amazing people in the world. I can't wait to talk to them next week once I officially start my break.
I didn't end up with a job or internship, I didn't go to Comic Con, I almost killed myself with 6 complicated classes, I still go to a state university, but I'm happy anyway. I've accomplished more than I wanted to and I couldn't be more delighted.
Thank you so much for the support you have given me on Tumblr, Deviantart, Blogspot, Facebook, and in person. Even though I am just a 21 year-old art student who had a late start in being active, I'm surprised by the sudden feedback and audience I'm receiving.
I hope next year is just as great or even better. I will work hard for that. Thanks, again.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to catch up on my sleep and return to the gym.

New York City skyline. Financial District skyscrapers at sunset.
There's a series of moments that linger between day and night
that linger a little longer in the summer.
The sun slides down through the clouds towards the city
pouring its soft light onto the water.
The skyscrapers soften their time-worn facades
as they lean in towards the last fragments of the day.
And the spray from the wake of a boat
dances with the sun's light.
This was taken on an absolutely stunning summer evening with the A77 while on a boat in the East River. This is the skyline of lower Manhattan featuring the skyscrapers of the Financial District. To the right (out of this scene) sits the Brooklyn Bridge.

text: Home > Medical > Sleep Disorders > News 02 November 2012 Sleep problems cost billions Insomnia and sleep apnoea are turning us into major health service consumers, causing us to be less productive at work, and may even lead to serious accidents. 0 Join PharmaChoice on Facebook Sponsored by Insomnia and sleep apnea are turning us into major health service consumers, causing us to be less productive at work, and may even lead to serious accidents. If you can't sleep at night, you're not alone. Around ten per cent of the population suffer from insomnia, where you have trouble falling asleep, wake up frequently at night, and still feel tired when the morning comes. When you feel tired and indisposed, your performance at work suffers, says Børge Sivertsen, professor at UiB's Department of Clinical Psychology and senior researcher at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. Sleep apnea is a more severe problem, affecting four to five per cent of the population. Sufferers can stop breathing for up to 40 seconds several times during the night, putting a huge strain on the heart. As a result, they have many micro-awakenings that stop them from reaching deep sleep. Bad night, bad day According to the sleep scientist, a recently-published study from the United States puts the annual losses from insomnia alone at 63.2 billion US dollars annually. Only a third of this was due to actual absence from work; two thirds was due to a loss in productivity while at work. An Australian study found that about two per cent of Australia's GDP is lost due to sick leave caused by insomnia and sleep apnea disorder. This shows how common these diseases are and how much they affect work, Sivertsen says. Danger on the roads In their own ways, each sleep disorder also has a strong impact on accident statistics. For example, lorry drivers have sedentary jobs, and this increases the risk of developing obesity and sleep apnea. The disease is a major cause of the many traffic accidents on American roads, Sivertsen says. As for insomnia, drug use can cause problems. Sivertsen's studies show that sedatives can cause users to feel less rested during the daytime. Sleep medication may work in the short term, but after six weeks of use we noticed a decrease in deep sleep. Sleep may be uninterrupted, but you may not necessarily get quality sleep, he says. Testing every treatment there is Sleep disorder sufferers are often major health care users, which leads to an increase in social costs. When you feel bad, you will try every treatment there is. There is an over consumption of alternative methods amongst insomnia sufferers. They often consume too much alcohol and visit their GPs, psychologists, physiotherapists, and chiropractors more often. Sivertsen wants insomnia treatment to become more accessible, and to include cognitive behavioural therapy. Several recent studies show that the Internet can be used to offer good and cost-effective methods of treatment. This is particularly true in areas where sleep centres are few and far between, he suggests.

Sometimes The Call really is. . . . a call, complete with caller id. (And sometimes a synchronicity is just too much fun not to share.)
A couple of nights ago, I went to bed filled with the places where my writing had taken me, wondering how important the latest thread about discerning "real choice" was. Real choices are those that are truly accessible to us given present moment inner and outer limitations, resources and realities. Looking at my own life with more curiosity than judgement, I could see that some of the choices I thought I "should" have made simply were not available to me in any real way at the time. I also realized that I could never know if what I thought was an available choice for another was a "real choice" for them in that moment. Through stories I'd been exploring how and why we would pursue or turn away from deepening and broadening our "real choices."
Given all that is happening in our lives and our world, it seemed important- to know how to cultivate the healing and awareness needed to expand our individual and collective choices. But I wondered: had I gotten sidetracked in my writing, tangled in a tangent? (It happens.)
Given all that is happening in our lives and our world, it seemed important- to know how to cultivate the healing and awareness needed to expand our individual and collective choices. But I wondered: had I gotten sidetracked in my writing, tangled in a tangent? (It happens.)
Drifting off to sleep I asked the Grandmothers, a circle of women elders who often appear and teach me in my sleep dreams, for a little confirmation or course correction- whichever was needed. Was it good to keep following this thread about "real choice" or should I be going in a different direction?
The next morning the phone on my bedside table rang and woke me up. The computerized voice of the phone's caller id spoke in its flat mechanical monotone: "Call. . .from. . . real. . . choice." Skeptical, I squinted at the words on the caller id screen, and there it was in capital letters: REAL CHOICE. Still half asleep I wondered if I was dreaming. If not, I assumed I must be misreading and mishearing things.
I picked up the receiver and somewhat tentatively said, "Hello?"
The man on the phone spoke with a heavy accent. His voice was rough and filled with a sense of urgency. When I asked him who he wished to speak to he said something that sounded like my last name (House.) Unsure, I asked him again who he was looking for, and his tone changed. I could hear the smile in his voice now, as if he was pleased with my questions or had accomplished something he'd set out to do. Sounding more cheery than apologetic he said, "Oh, maybe I dialed the wrong number. So sorry," and hung up.
Still not trusting my sleep-steeped perception I looked at the caller id history and there it was- the call had come from REAL CHOICE.
Wide awake now I fell back into bed laughing and called out, "Thank you," to the Grandmothers, to the ceiling and the floor and the walls of my tiny bedroom, to the light of a new day sneaking in around the edges of the curtains, to the faithful trees outside my window, to the Sacred Presence that holds and lives within me, to the mystery of strange phone calls and the creative process, to the almost unbelievable blessing of having this day to write.

MIAMI The left-field scoreboard had all the usual batter information. Giancarlo Stanton was up, and all his pertinent statistics were listed, including the zero in the home run column.
Stanton just missed knocking it off the board – literally.
In his 65th at-bat, Stanton hit his first home run of 2013, an epic blast off Cubs' left-hander Travis Wood. Remember how Stanton crippled a couple of video panels on that scoreboard with a homer off Jamie Moyer last season? This ball missed the scoreboard.

Still using mine too. well, admittedly, like scubadoo97, mine also got stained and someone in my household tried to clean it with steel wool without me knowing (grr), so I replaced that scratched one recently with another Lodge. I'm actually happy to report that the newer models of the Lodge enamel coated cast iron dutch ovens actually have a metal knob on top, as opposed to the old rubber/plastic ones, so they are now ok to higher temps in the oven, although I never had an issue with the old knob either. I highly recommend them for the price, provided you find them for under $80 (seems like some of the "trendier" colors are priced higher)
breakfast on Thanksgiving near SFO?
Good idea, Robert, but we just took the parents to Shanghai Dumpling Shop last night, so they might be dumpling-ed out.

breakfast on Thanksgiving near SFO?
My family and I will be heading from SFO to Monterey tomorrow morning and are hoping to find a decent spot for breakfast somewhere near San Mateo or Half Moon Bay. Any ideas of places that will be open on Thanksgiving morning?

Thanksgiving dinner in Monterey
Thanks, Gail. Both Fandango and 1833 are on my radar for the trip. The 1833 T-giving menu is probably a little eclectic for a couple members of the party, but Fandango's looks quite good.
I'd love to hear your recommendation on more casual places too.
Thanksgiving dinner in Monterey
Sorry about that...it'll be a party of four, so no need for large group seating.
We're certainly open to Carmel or Pacific Grove. I only asked about Monterey b/c we're staying right downtown, so if there were good options in the vicinity, it would be slightly more convenient.
Thanksgiving dinner in Monterey
I'm starting a new thread b/c the most recent posts that I could find on this topic were from 2011. My family is going to be visiting Monterey for Thanksgiving weekend and we're looking for a restaurant to have a (fairly) traditional Thanksgiving dinner. We're open to buffet or prix fix and while a couple of us are more adventurous diners, other in the party are not. As long as the food is well prepared (and perhaps just a tad inventive), everyone in our group will be happy with traditional turkey dinner fare. It'll be a party of four, which makes places with somewhat smaller dining rooms an option too.
It looks like the dining hall at Asilomar has been a local favorite for this occasion...is that still the case? Are there other options right in Monterey that we should consider instead?
Heading to Tahoe via gold country this weekend and are planning a stop in Murphys. Any suggestions on not-to-miss wineries in that area? We tend to like smaller, homier wineries (as opposed to the Ironstone craziness...is it really worth the stop?).

The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards in Livermore - anyone been?
We're pretty open to all types of wine (provided they are on the dry side). For reds, we especially like Cab Franc and meritage type blends. For whites, riesling, full bodied, dry pinto gris (along the lines of those coming out of Willamette Valley), and Chardonnay, when it is nicely balanced. But again, we're open to any suggestions.
We tend to prefer wineries that are on the more rustic, homey side...the type of place where you might actually run into the winemaker in the tasting room (or at least have someone pouring who actually knows and cares about the wine).
Jan 18, 2013ziggles in San Francisco Bay Area
The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards in Livermore - anyone been?
Thanks for all of the great suggestions...looks like we have a number of reasonable options for dinner in the area.
Looking forward to tasting the wines of Livermore Valley this weekend...any recommendations on wineries that we shouldn't miss?
Jan 18, 2013ziggles in San Francisco Bay Area
The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards in Livermore - anyone been?
Thanks for the feedback. We're actually staying in Livermore, so we will probably try for something around there for dinner Saturday night. Sounds like we might have to go for dim sum at Lee Garden on our way home on Sunday though! And Lokanta sounds amazing.
Would be curious about your thoughts on places in Livermore, if you have any.
Jan 16, 2013ziggles in San Francisco Bay Area
The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards in Livermore - anyone been?
Just bumping this up to get some more recent opinions. Heading to Livermore for a weekend of wine tasting and would like to have a reasonably nice dinner on Saturday night. Is Wente still the go-to place, or are there other suggestions in the Livermore/Pleasanton/Dublin area?

Delivery of full dinners/catered food to Twin Peaks area
I also live near Twin Peaks and know what a pain it can be to get food delivered. Two places that have been consistently good are Kasa Indian in the Castro (http://www.kasaindian.com/) and Patxi's (http://patxispizza.com/) in the Inner Sunset. Both tend to take a while (~ an hour) to get the food to us, but they're good at getting the address right (we're pretty tucked away). I'm sure there are other places, but usually we just avoid the headache and drive down off the hill to get our takeout. Looking forward to other suggestions!

Dinner Rccommendations: Liliburn & Conyers
Just giving this thread a bump, because I am interested in any thoughts on decent dining options in the Conyers/Covington region. I'm in the area a few times a year to visit family. I know I'm not going to find fine dining or innovative cuisine in this area, but I would like to build up a list of places to keep in mind in order to avoid resorting to cookie cutter chain restaurants. Good southern food or BBQ would be great. Any suggestions?
Yeah, this was definitely the case when I went there back in June 2009. Too bad, I was hoping to make it there for the prix fix when I return later this month.
Wait...I totally didn't read the dates of the post that I was responding to. Does anyone know if they still do a prix fix menu one day a week? Thanks!

Any suggestions on where to find Kate's buttermilk? I pretty much only shop at Russo's and occasionally WF, and haven't seen it at either place, but would be willing to make a special stop to give it a try. I love good buttermilk and have often wished High Lawn would start producing some, so maybe Kate's is my answer!

BYOB is ok in Belmont, and I highly recommend Kitchen on Common. They do a nice seasonally inspired menu. The food is excellent and affordable. If you don't have a bottle of wine on hand, duck into The Spirited Gourmet next door and pick something up.

Cambridge (Central Sq. Kendall Inman) Recs
What about Blue Room? Menu fits the bill (except no real raw bar, that I know of). I seem to recall having some decent cocktails there a while ago, but honestly, I usually go there for their very thoughtful (and reasonably priced) wine list.

If you're willing to cross the river into Cambridge, I'll put in a plug for Basta Pasta. My partner and I got takeout there a couple of nights ago, and are still working on the leftovers! You can't beat getting a great entree that includes homemade pasta (be sure to order the fusili--it's the only homemade option) for around $10-12, and having it suffice for 2 dinners and a lunch (for one person, eating responsibly, but still...).

Hi Magiesmom--yes, i had thought of this, but being that I will just be getting to town that day, I am not sure I will be able to pull together a decent picnic. Unless someone has some suggestions about a place to stop between the airport and Montserrat to grab a baguette and some ham and cheese?
Or is there a nice little unpretentious place in a neighboring town where I could get a rustic, but good, lunch?

Hello Spanish (and Catalan) Hounders!
I've been enjoying the lively discussion of Barcelona dining and am looking forward to making use of some suggestions when I visit in a few days.
I have a specific question. I arrive early in the morning and have some time to kill before check-in. I will have a car and am thinking a half-day trip to Montserrat, but I will also be hungry for lunch, and I hear that the dining options are not that great in the Montserrat area. I'm not looking for anything fancy for this meal, but also don't want to spend a lot of cash on mediocre food. Any suggestions? Or, is there another half-day trip that I should plan instead of Montserrat?

I am in search of the best recipe for liptauer spread. My experience with this stuff is relatively limited, but really amazing. I first encountered this (and related spreads) at Dano's Heuriger on Seneca Lake (Finger Lakes of NY). I highly recommend this place if you're ever in the area: www.danosonseneca.com
Anyway, ever since my first (and many subsequent) visits, I have wanted to make Liptauer. I decided to do it for a party this weekend and have been searching for recipes, but there is such a diversity. I found one by Nigella Lawson, but I'm a tad skeptical of her use of cottage cheese:http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/...
Does anyone have a foolproof recipe for this great spread? I was hoping to avoid using anchovies to make it vegetarian, but if these are essential, so be it.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Good cider donuts close to Boston?
I am also from Michigan and have been relatively unimpressed with the cider donuts in the greater Boston area. That all changed last weekend when I visited Wilson's farm and tried one of their fresh donuts. I think you'll find that their donuts are much better when you get them right out of the machine in the garden center. It seems that they only offer the fresh donuts on the weekends, but I could be wrong. I've tried the cider donuts from Ohlins and wasn't overwhelmed....they were good, but paled in comparison to others and especially when compared to some of the other donuts at Ohlin's (e.g., the jelly filled and boston creme donuts).

ISO *good* boxed red wine in Boston
As someone who has been (irrationally) obsessed with finding good wine in a box, I found this thread quite interesting. Unfortunately, I've tended to be consistently disappointed. That being said, I just received an email announcement for a boxed wine tasting happening tonight at Gordon's in Watertown. I am particularly intrigued by the two Hahn wines....a meritage and a cab franc.....a blend and varietal that I'm quite partial to. Maybe some of you in the western part of the city will be able to make over to sample these wines:
Box Wine!
That's right, Box Wine! Today we taste the future! I hate that line. Anyway, wine in a box is getting better and better. The fact of the matter is that it lasts longer in the fridge, weeks not hours, and the packaging is far less expensive allowing for better wine to be packaged at lower prices. See for yourself as we have a German Riesling in a Box this week. From Santa Rita we have a cheap and tasty Sauvignon blanc and a rich and velvety Cabernet. We also have a Cabernet Franc and Meritage blend from Hahn Estates.
Santa Rita Winery
Medalla Real 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Exhibiting deep, ripe ruby red color with fine brilliance the body is concentrated and rich in ripe, almost sweet tannins. Its fragrant aroma evokes blackcurrant, tar and wood notes originating from the barrels it was aged in. Reg. price: $19.99 Tasting price: $15.99
Hahn Estates
2007 Meritage Deep, bold, brooding and complex, this wine has a heightened level of intensity compared to previous vintages. A generous percentage of Petit Verdot and Malbec in the blend add depth and enhance the richness of the wine. Juicy, luscious flavors combined with brisk tannins to make this wine the perfect complement for strong, savory meats and hearty pasta dishes. Reg. price: $16.99 In-store sale price: $12.99
Huntington 2006 Cabernet Franc Rich and dark in color, the Huntington Wine Cellars 2006 Cabernet Franc is smooth with a subtle, spicy taste of clove and white pepper woven between supple, rich flavors of cocoa, soil and leather. Pleasant, light in tannins, this wine is smooth, focused and leaves a melody of taste in the mouth. It finishes strongly with pleasing tart flavors of cran-raspberry and smooth layers of black currant and plum. Reg. price: $15.99 Tasting price: $12.79
Wurtz 2008 Riesling Trocken The color is quite pale (typical of young, dry Riesling) while the nose shows green apple, quince (yes, it smells tart), and flint. The green apple comes through in the front and mid-palate with a nice more-middle Mosel-than-Rheinhessen white floral accent, finishing with flinty mineral and a very tightly wound sliced lemon citrus. The acid is mouthwatering. Reg. price: $25.99 Net price: $22.99 for a 3 L box

Does anyone know the status of Mango Grill? I know that they stopped serving lunch a while ago, and the past few evenings that I've driven by, the place has not appeared to be open. Did the restaurant go out of business?
