Written by Allison | 6/1/13We've been giving this to our two dachshunds for about a month and a half or so. We really started it for our dachsie boy that has some skin dermatitis. That has gotten MUCH better, but we've really noticed a HUGE difference in our female dachshund. We've always thought she's had a wonderful, soft, glossy coat, but she has always had some very thin areas on her ears, chest, neck, and bottom. (she rubs much of her bottom hair off because of her back/mobility issues) She has literally sprouted hair we haven't seen since we've had her!!! We lovingly have been referring to her as our Chia Pet!!! haha I didn't think she could get softer or shinier either, but she has. THANKS Honest Kitchen for a great product!
Written by Jami | 8/3/12Is there any samples available for SPARKLE? I have tried numerous other products and am tired of them not working and 1/2 way through I am throwing out the product. I am seeing some improvement to my girls coat since I started feeding Thrive but not a lot.
Written by Ryokuru | 4/8/11Thank goodness for SPARKLE! I havent tried it for my dogs yet, but one of my cats has environmental and grain allergies. Ive seen lost of products like these for dogs, but never one for cats. I was recommended SPARKLE by my local pet shop. I mix it with her Prowl nightly, and it sure helps her! This is a wonderful product. Five stars, no doubt about it!
Written by Micki | 3/18/11In addition to feeding Force & Embark to my Aussie, I added SPARKLE because of some winter allergies that the vet wanted to treat with anti-histamines. Within a couple of days, there was a remarkable difference in him. No more scratching!!

The induction coil is under the glass top so the pot never touches it. I have a graniteware steel pot that is slightly domed. It works well.
I think the OP might have a Radiant cooktop. It may not be as good as WyomingBrewers cooktop.
I used a basic 10 gallon SS stock pot. Recently bought a heavier duty pot and a turkey frier. While the glasstop sufficed the turkey fryer does an amazing job.
I have a glass cooktop stove and I use a alum 8gal pot. I do full boils, it takes a little bit to heat up but it beats brewing outside in the winter in new england.
Too much to list going on.....
I use my glasstop when I'm doing extract partial boils, but anything more than 4 gallons and it has a hard time. I use my burner and 8.5 gallon pot for my full boils.
I have a 21 quart S.S. flat-bottomed 'canner' that I use when I'm canning salsa and jelly.
I'm only doing partials, but my glass top has no problem with 3 gallons of wort...
I have a glass top stove and use an aluminum 20qt tamale pot. I only do partial mash/extract brewing so I haven't had any issues.

King for a Queen rocked the house Friday night with songs by Red Hot Chili Peppers, Van Halen, Franz Ferdinand, Ozzy, and more.
With the energy coming from the stage and the cheers from the audience, you'd think you were at a sold-out Aerosmith concert, but tonight it was King for a Queen playing the 8th grade "Black Tie Dance" at Memorial Middle School in Albany.
The crowd went wild when they played Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll" and a tender moment was shared by all when Jayden traded her drum sticks for a sparkly red guitar and joined the band center stage for an acoustic version of "The Only Exception" by Paramore.
So what's so special about this kick-ass cover band? For one, their ages are 14, 15, and 16. And two, they're one of the "touring bands" from Musicafe' Rock School.
Musicafe' Rock School is a unique and colorful music school that teaches music lovers of all ages to develop and grow performance skills while learning how to play their favorite musical instruments.They have several instructors who are experienced, professional musicians, as well as exceptional mentors, to give students the tools necessary to excel in rock band classes, as well as individual artists.
Conner Farrell, 15, who plays guitar and sings, belted out "Smells like Teen Spirit" with a confidence and charisma that would make even Kurt Cobain proud. Kyler Crocker, 14, was on bass; with shaggy hair and shades on, he looked and sounded like a natural born rock star, dancing around while he rocked his instrument.
Sophie Welch, 16, who played keyboard and tambourine, wowed the crowd with her angelic voice when she sang "99 Luftballoons" and Jayden Landucci-Arellano, 14, with an up-do and a strapless party dress on, sang with the greatest of ease as she banged her drums like she was Keith Moon of The Who. They've got stage presence, talent, professionalism, and a lung capacity that might just leave your ears ringing in the morning.
If you're starting to fantasize about how cool it would be to play an instrument, sing, or rock a crowd like that, you might be surprised to learn that your rock star fantasy could become a reality a lot easier than you think.
Musicafe' Rock School offers private one-on-one lessons for many instruments, as well as
Rock School sessions, called "Rockmesters" which are classes dedicated to practicing and performing as a band. Rockmesters run from Sept.-Dec. and Feb.-May, with private lessons available all year. Kids, adults, experienced musicians, and beginners are all welcome.
Groups are formed according to musical ability and stage experience, and usually get together one night a week for a two-hour rehearsal. Each Rockmester culminates in a live, public performance with full production lighting, sound, and special effects. As bands become more advanced and "gig ready," they may be booked at special events and shows around the community.
For information on lessons, summer camp, booking, and upcoming events call 541-738-ROCK (7625).

The Watcher: Jane Goodall's Life with the Chimpsby Jeanette Winter
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Acclaimed picture book biographer Jeanette Winter has found her perfect subject: Jane Goodall, the great observer of chimpanzees. Follow Jane from her childhood in London watching a robin on her windowsill, to her years in the African forests of Gombe, Tanzania, invited by brilliant scientist Louis Leakey to observe chimps, to her worldwide crusade to save these primates who are now in danger of extinction, and their habitat. Young animal lovers and Winter's many fans will welcome this fascinating and moving portrait of an extraordinary person and the animals to whom she has dedicated her life.
The Watcher was named a Best Book of the Year by the Boston Globe, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, and the Bank Street College of Education.
"With her customary care, Winter (Biblio-burro) covers the whole of primatologist Goodall's life and work: her childhood observing animals and dreaming of Africa, her fateful meeting with Louis Leakey, early encounters with the chimpanzees ('David Greybeard has — yes — he has TAKEN BANANAS FROM MY HAND'), and, years later, her departure from Gombe because her 'beloved chimpanzees were in danger of becoming extinct. They needed Jane to speak for them.' The story's drama comes from the suspense of approaching the chimps, little by little; it took months for trust to build and required trials like sitting out in all kinds of weather: 'She saw the chimps accept the rain, not look for shelter, as we do.' Winter's repeated, stencil-like patterns give a sense of the wealth of green and the endless reaches of the Tanzanian landscape. (The chimpanzees don't fare as well; her flat style doesn't lend itself to the nuances of expression that distinguish primate individuals.) It's a fine introduction both to Goodall's life and to the idea that excellent science can come from nothing more than close, extended observation. Ages 4 — 8. (Apr.)"

A picture book biography about librarian Anne Carroll Moore who, as the New Yorker said, "more or less invented the children's library."
Once upon a time, American children couldnand#8217;t borrow library books. Reading wasnand#8217;t all that important for children, many thought. Luckily Miss Anne Carroll Moore thought otherwise! This is the true story of how Miss Moore created the first childrenand#8217;s room at the New York Public Library, a bright, warm room filled with artwork, window seats, and most important of all, borrowing privileges to the worldand#8217;s best childrenand#8217;s books in many different languages.
About the Author
JEANETTE WINTER has written and illustrated almost 50 books for children, including Diego (a New York Times Best Illustrated Book, Parents' Choice Award winner, and Notable Children's Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies), Emily Dickinson's Letters to the World (New York Times Notable Book, Parents' Choice Silver Medal), The Librarian of Basra (ALA Notable Book), My Name Is Georgia (Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year, ALA Notable, Booklist Editors' Choice), and Mama (Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Book, Society of Illustrators Silver Medal). Her art with flat colors and perspectives in the folk art tradition have brought her many honors.

Female Fan Sues Jonas Brothers for "Concert Crush"
This past Monday (Dec. 31), a woman who claims she wound up traumatized after being caught up in a crush of fans at a free Jonas Brothers concert filed a lawsuit against the group.
According to E! Online, the woman's claims stem back from a concert at the Grove in L.A. that took place three years ago. Victim Ashleigh Johnson says she suffered "severe injury to her body and shock to her nervous system" after being pinned against a fence, as well as "great mental...and nervous pain."
While reps for boys' company Jonas Brothers Enterprises had not yet responded in the case, they face a lawsuit that includes the claims that the venue owner and band predicted the large number of people would show up, and "that proper security measures were not in place at the packed outdoor shopping mall."
Is Johnson just looking for a big payday?

Sorry for the long listing, but there is a lot to cover. You are bidding on a fully loaded Ensoniq ASR-88 sampling synthesizer. The ASR line of advanced sampling recorders were a combination sampler/synthesizer/digital audio recorder that took the industry by storm in the mid-90's. You can do sample splits, layers, looping and crossfading and other sampling edits easily. Once more you can edit those samples like any waveform synthesizer with envelope generators, LFO, digital filters and sweet built in signal effects. The ASR was used by noteworthy artists like Kanye West, Alchemist, Beck, Rammstein, Wu-Tang Clan, DJ Qbert and much more. This one was made in 1997, which is one of the latest in its line. As such it has the coveted "purple LCD screen" with a much better resolution than older ASR LED screens, and is able to import samples from Roland and Akai sample formats. The ASR-88 is a souped up version of the Ensoniq ASR-10 with 16MB of internal memory, a built in SCSI interface, and digital I/O connections. Best of all it has the full 88 weighed keys covering the entire piano range. It is a beast at 63lbs and almost 56″ long. This sampler is fully functional with all the buttons, keys, inputs and outputs in full working order. It has been stored indoors in a dry, smoke free environment the entire time I have owned it. Cosmetically it's in great condition with just a few minor scratches not noticeable unless close up. It includes the most up to date OS disk (3.53) and a whole lot more. You're not just getting the sampler. You are getting a host of accessories and tons of samples. Here's what's included: ASR-88 SamplerOn-Stage Pro Heavy Duty keyboard stand2 – OS v3.53 disks (the original is damaged so I made a copy)Ensoniq OS Extractor disk (in case you ever need it)ASR-88 Handbook ASR-10 Applications GuideASR-10 Musicians ManualASR-10 Essential Sound ManualSCSI CD-ROM Drive (Media Vision Reno Portable CD-ROM Player)SCSI 1GB Hard Drive (Corporate Systems Center HD)SCSI 250BM Iomega Zip DriveEight blank 250MB Iomega Zip disks135 Floppy Disk Samples17 Sample CD ROMs (well over 6000 samples!)SCSI Cables: One C50 to HD50 Two DB25 to HD50 One HD50 to HD50 Two DB25 to DB25 One C50 to DB25 Two DB25 to HD50 adapters Power Cable All of the manuals are original and in excellent condition. There is also some manuals and paperwork included for the sample discs in variable levels of quality. The SCSI hard drive has never been used, and you should have all the SCSI cables you need to chain all of the included SCSI products and then some. As for sounds you are getting 17 Sample CD's. Some are original, but many are copies (most are copies of originals that got damaged during a move, and some are just copies passed onto me). There are also 135 floppy disks filled with samples. They are essentially choice samples from the CDs so consider them duplicates. Here is the breakdown of sounds you get: CDR-1 EPS Library Archive 603 instruments altogether – all of the original in-the-box sounds from the EPS (Ensoniq Performance Sampler), all thirteen of the SLT libraries created for the EPS, and twelve of the EPS Signature Series sets (ESS-1 through ESS-12).

I will have to get an estimate from a local postal carrier on how much it will cost to ship, and last time I checked was over a year ago and it was going to cost over $100 just for the keyboard alone.

Time to move your bobhouse
The structures also cannot be left on public or private property without permission, Fish and Game advised.
The law is designed to ensure that bobhouses and their contents don't fall through the ice and become a hazard to boaters or get left behind on shore, explained Sgt. Dave Eskeland of the agency's law enforcement division.
Failure to remove a bobhouse by the deadline can result in a fine and a one-year loss of the owner's fishing license. In cases where conservation officers cannot identify the bobhouse owner, Fish and Game has the authority to seize any bobhouse and its contents not removed by the deadline, Eskeland said.
For more information, contact the local conservation officer or Fish and Game's law enforcement division at 271-3127.

The Michelin Egg
Zoloft worked very well on my anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress, but caused serious weight gain. I was able to hop right out of bed with no problems in the morning, get through my work days, and get to sleep at night. I had the most vivid dreams of my entire life on Zoloft and I found them very interesting. HOWEVER....within three months of beginning Zoloft, I put on about twenty pounds mostly in my breast and stomach areas. Imagine the little Zoloft dancing egg merged with the Michelin Man - that's what I look like now. No matter what I did, I could not get the weight off. Folks, DO NOT BELIEVE your medical professionals if they tell you Zoloft doesn't cause weight gain. IT DOES. Therefore, if you go on this, watch your weight VERY carefully and at the first sign of weight gain, go back to the doctor and try to find something else. Still, it's a great medicine and I wish I could go back on it.

How My Contrarian Bet On Facebook Paid Off
Since the Beckerman Institutional Asset Allocation portfolio inception a little over a year ago, we have achieved returns of about 16% (net of fees) over the last year as of August 8. Much of this return was fueled by positive returns in the U.S. stock market.
The S&P 500 Index (SPX) has continued to march into record territory. It was the alternative sorts of assets that we own that inhibited performance in our strategy.
However, I am building more conviction in these asset classes as they have become cheaper. Internationally, Europe is beginning to show some signs of bottoming.
Although, several emerging market countries have suffered from macro-economic headwinds (such as China and India), there is an abundance of opportunities all across the region.
Interestingly, some of the best performing US companies that I have owned, including Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), and more recently Facebook (NASDAQ: FB), are exploiting opportunities there. In my opinion, after our multi-year stock market run, the U.S. market no longer looks cheap.
The developed international and emerging market stock markets look cheap in contrast. Some of our more recent additions to the portfolio were international equities, ETFs with bank exposures, and shares of FB. I believe that in future years, international equities will act a diversifier and add to risk adjusted performance relative to the S&P 500 index.
I sold out of high yield bond ETFs and replaced them with bank loan ETFs. The reason is that there is no longer much of a margin of error in high-yield bonds. If you have a period of economic instability, the yield that you get in this asset class, overall, may not compensate investors for the default risk.
Bank loans, by contrast, have higher recovery rates in the event of defaults and they tend to be higher on the capital structure. Another key differentiation is the fact that bank loans become more valuable as interest rates increase. This is the opposite of most bonds including high yield bonds. When you are in a rising interest rate environment floating rate loans tend to do much better than other kinds of bonds.
I bought FB with the expectation that investors had become overly pessimistic on the stock. This surprised me because investors went from being very pessimistic on the stock to enthusiastic within a month.
Also, I rarely have experienced that kind of return in that short of a time frame and, although it would be great, I do not expect to replicate that going forward. The bulk of our strategy is designed to generate a favorable long-term return by being invested in the right asset classes while using some clever ideas to do it.

Refresher programs: My licence has lapsed, ugh, retesting sounds challenging, advice? - page 3
Hi All, After working as a Neonatal Nurse Practioner for 10 years I "retired", and have been living abroad for several years. I am really wanting to return to nursing and realized I must first get my licence back. Does anyone... Read More
- 0Feb 10, '09 by Newfie LoverI am like you - have to re-test. Due to an MVA, I left nursing (which I LOVED!) 18 years ago. Now, at the age of 54, I am determined to be an RN again, despite some disabilities. We took the test once, we can do it again! I plan to follow Suzanne's program, and meanwhile have been studying a different NCLEX review book. I have looked into refresher programs where I live in Sonoma County, CA and found one (the only one) that is $1500.00. Have others of you found that the cost is this high, or is this a reasonable price? Also, have any of you taken the course in my county? Was it worthwhile? The instructor did not actually sound that encouraging, when I asked if it would help me pass the NCLEX again. She said, that was not the goal of the class, yet that is what I need first and foremost. I don't have that kind of money, so not sure if I should take it or not. One reason I plan to be a nurse again is that I need to make a better living for the next 10 or 15 years, and because I loved it. Any advice would be appreciated. So happy to have found this site!
- 0Feb 10, '09 by debbrenI would say, if I were you, it will be the best $1500 you ever spent. You will have someone there to encourage you and you will feel much more confident. I am just so surprised with the nursing sortage that each state doesn't have a really big push to refresh and reuse our nursing talents...by having a standardized refresher course in every state...sounds like we are not alone!! I am plodding through all the requirements for NY state. Once I get my application in , then I will know which direction to go in.....
Keep smiling!!!
- 0Mar 25, '09 by debbrenThought I would see how you are doing. I have filed all my paper work with NYState, and hope to hear something back soon. I have been taking practice NCLEX exams and doing general reviewing each day.
So far I have averaged around 68-72, so I am not discouraged. Once I am told what they need of me...I will be raring to go....
So what have you decided??? Hope you are doing well....
- 0Mar 26, '09 by Newfie LoverI am slowly doing the tests in the Saunder's review book, like Suzanne's Plan suggests. I am also taking the Nursing Re-entry course in my county. With my disabilities, I was able to qualify for the Department of Rehabilitation, through the state. They are paying for the class. PTL! The class has met twice, and it's really helping me to think like a nurse again. I actually feel pretty good about what I remember, but the best part is that the thinking process is still the same, and it is coming back. My hardest part is not sticking to a daily study plan. Life gets in the way and I am not good at getting back in the habit. Does anyone have a routine that works with a busy life? If you would care to share, I need basic tips or advice on how to manage my time and prioritize, to study everyday.
An interesting note about this re-entry class - there are about 30 nurses in the class, of all ages. There is only one nurse who has been out longer than me; she has been out 20 years and still has her license. Three of us need to take the NCLEX. One of these 3 shared that he heard the NCLEX now has more questions that are not one answer type multiple choice, but the type where several answers are correct and you must choose all of them. Those are the type of questions that I do the worst at, so that really worries me. I wonder if others have found this to be true on the NCLEX. Regards!
- 0Mar 26, '09 by debbrenWow, good for you...I am so excited to get going I will tell you. I have downloaded some review books on my new Kindle (small, and portable) and I am waiting to hear what NY says. I am pretty sure I will have to retest. But like you, it is really coming back. Amazing isn't it. I think we will make excellent nurses again because our hearts are in it. Once I get the ok from NY I will register with NCLEX, but must wait until I am given the ok. I was never licienced in NY, just 3 other states! So while I wait I am studying...
I bet your re-entry class is wonderful. Nice to be with other people in the same boat huh? Best of luck...you sound very committed so you will do great! What state are you in?
- 0Apr 19, '09 by schu0909Quote from debbrenDeb,Hi All,
After working as a Neonatal Nurse Practioner for 10 years I "retired", and have been living abroad for several years. I am really wanting to return to nursing and realized I must first get my licence back. Does anyone have advice on how they have chosen to study for the exam? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Being in Hong Kong, I have lots of free time, can do online course work, but have no availablity to do any clinical here. But for now I think the matter of preparing to retake an exam I havent taken in 25 years is a tad daunting!
Thank you and love the site....
I just joined allnurses.com and have read your above notice.....I too am in the same situation and wonder how you are doing....sherry
- 0Apr 19, '09 by debbrenHi Shery,
I am reading Med-Surg Demystified at the moment. I also have downloaded at least 100 podcasts on my itouch and listen to lectures everyday when I exercise and when I can't sleep. Sometimes up to 4 hours a day! I really am amazed how it comes back to you....you will be amazed also.
I also have found UTube to have some interesting stuff under nursing and medicine. I used to be proficient at intubation, central lines etc...not saying I am ready to jump in with out refresher...but it makes your realize it is still there, just hastn't been used in a while.
My gut tells me to believe you can do anything you set out to do....
As far as the paperwork, all has been recieved by my state board, just waiting to hear back....
In the meantime, I will plan to follow the advise given to me to do "Suzanne's Plan", you will see that on an earlier post. I figure all these people have such good advice, and that sounds like the way to go....
How are you doing with your future plans? Dream it and it will happen!
- 0Apr 19, '09 by schu0909Hello Debbie, Thanks so much for responding to my need for help and someone to talk to about my problem. I left nursing and went into being a Mary Kay Cosmetic Director and now want to go back into nursing. I found out last Friday that I failed my nclex exam. I was studying day and night on a site called nclextestanswers.com and could do all of the test to around 88-90%. None of the info on that site was on the exam. Now I know that I must find a site that is going to teach me what I need to know. How do you find a site that offers to you what you need to know? I want to study what I need to know to continue to be a good nurse and be successful. Does the board of nursing have any counseling information? Does the league of nursing help with counseling as what site is not a scam and is the "Real Deal". I did learn lots of information about diseases.....Please tell me what you know.....sherry
- 0Apr 21, '09 by schu0909Hello Everyone, I wanted to State a GREAT BIG "Thank YOu" to all of you that have responded to my request.
As of right now, yesterday was a very productive day. I read all of the responses and couldn't get any info from the Suzanne suggest. I'm awesuming she doesn't exist anymore. But, did get a response about the Kaplan program and also got that from a nurse friend of mine. So this is what I did yesterday....contacted the board of nursing and they took me to their web site and down loaded the plan for Nclex exam to see what is all on it. They told me I can test again in 45 days. There is not a requirement from them to take any classes until you fail x3. But, I don't want any part of that.....and my friend who stated that it takes a life savings is correct to get your license back and also the friend that stated "DON'T EVER LET YOUR LICENSE LAPSE".... two very correct statements. So I enrolled in the Kaplan program as recommended from another friend on here. So I have that scheduled in Ann Arbor, Michigan 2nd aND 3RD week of May. I don't want to wait.....Thanks and Hugs to all of you....sherry

Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, Ride for Kids co-founder Mike Traynor passes away at 70
Press Release
With heavy hearts, we regret to announce that Mike Traynor, President of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and co-founder of the Ride for Kids, passed away this morning after a brief illness. He was 70.
When Mike and Dianne Traynor founded the Ride for Kids over 25 years ago, their mission was to bring the motorcycle community together to fight childhood brain tumors. Mike was gratified that motorcyclists have helped to raise more than $50 million for the cause to date, and that PBTF-funded research is increasing survival rates and improving treatment options for children around the world.
Mike and Dianne had been planning for their eventual retirement for some time, and had taken steps to build a robust staff of capable people to continue their work. Today the Ride for Kids and PBTF are stronger than ever, thanks to their dedicated volunteers and staff.
"For many years the army of volunteers task force members and the motorcycling public have dedicated themselves to beating this devastating disease," said Brian Traynor, Executive Director of the PBTF. "The best way we can honor Mike's accomplishments and memory is by continuing the fight to cure the kids."
Visitation and viewing will be Thursday, Sept. 17 from 5-8 p.m. at H.M. Patterson & Son Arlington Chapel, 173 Allen Rd., Sandy Springs, GA 30328.
Funeral services will be Friday, Sept. 18 at 11 a.m. at Mount Vernon Baptist Church, 850 Mt. Vernon Hwy. NW, Atlanta, GA 30327.
If you plan to attend the visitation and/or the funeral, please RSVP here.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the PBTF in Mike's memory. Condolences should be sent to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, 302 Ridgefield Ct., Asheville, NC 28806.
More information about Mike's life and accomplishments is available here.

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA -- Gani Lawal's enthusiasm and love for basketball has always been high for as long as he can remember.
So, a recent proclamation by the Georgia Tech post player may be a strong statement about the Yellow Jackets' potential as they tip off the 2009-10 season Saturday at Alexander Memorial Coliseum against Florida A&M.
"I'm going to be honest with you. I haven't been this excited for a basketball season to get started since my senior year in high school," the 6-foot-9, 234-pound junior said. "That's not to say I haven't been excited going into other seasons, but I'm just really looking forward to this year."
The senior year Lawal referred to in comparison was the 2006-07 season, in which he helped Norcross to the second of its three straight Class AAAAA state championships and was named the Daily Post's Boys Player of the Year.
The talent level of the personnel Lawal will be surrounded by this season at Tech is parallel to the high school talent he had around him at Norcross in that championship season.
Back then Lawal had the likes of current college standouts like Al-Farouq Aminu (Wake Forest), Tony Neysmith (Auburn) and Jordan DeMercy (Florida State).
This year, he has what figures to be an equally strong supporting cast this season though a combination of returning teammates from last season like guard Iman Shumpert and forward Zachery Peacock, plus a recruiting class with as strong a pedigree as his own, paced by nationally top-ranked forward Derrick Favors.
That strong personnel have led to some high expectations for Lawal and the Jackets, and not just from themselves.
Tech has been included in several preseason top 25 polls, including a No. 22 ranking in the Associated Press preseason poll, and has been eyed as a possible challenger to traditional powers like defending national champion North Carolina and Duke in the ACC.
Those are some pretty lofty expectations considering the fact Tech went a disappointing 12-19 last season, but Lawal believes they are not unreasonable goals.
"We have all the pieces," Lawal said. "Now, what we have to do is take those pieces translate to wins and success. We're still in the process of doing that in practice -- putting in plays and building chemistry.
"We've put expectations on ourselves. We can't get bogged down with expectations of others. I feel like if we do what we're supposed to do, we'll succeed and go beyond what everybody expects us to do."
Less than five months ago, it wasn't certain that Lawal would be around to be one of those pieces.
A solid sophomore season in which he averaged 15.1 points and 9.5 rebounds -- earning him third-team All-ACC honors -- made him a potential NBA Draft prospect, a tempting possibility given Tech's struggles his first two seasons there.
And he initially tested the NBA waters before electing to return to school a week before the June draft despite projections of him being a late first-round selection.
Lawal said he regrets neither decision, and found working out for several NBA teams quite an eye-opening experience.
"I just felt like I needed to get better (before turning pro), bottom line," Lawal said. "I just needed to come back and improve and be part of a good team and also with a phenomenal freshman class that we signed.
"I did go through the process 50-50 (on whether to stay in the draft or return to Tech). ... It was really good experience. I went through the workouts, talked to (NBA general managers) and scouts. I just learned things about my game ... things that I know, but it doesn't hurt to hear second or third opinions on."
How well Lawal improves upon those areas of his game will be seen throughout the season.
However, Tech coach Paul Hewitt has already noticed one positive change in his star big man.
"You do notice he's really excited about the possibilities of this season," Hewitt said. "His effort level had remained high. And there's a assuredness about him."
Hewitt also noted that any improvements made to his game aren't necessarily ones that will show up on the scoresheet.
"I think that will be something (to watch)," Hewitt said. "He may not get the 10 rebounds or 15 of 16 points per game that he had last season, and people will say, 'Well, he's not the same (as last year).' But I'm here to tell you, he's much improved from last year."
Indeed, with scoring threats like Favors on the inside and Shumpert on the outside, plus other strong rebounders like Favors and Peacock around, Lawal may have to sacrifice some individual numbers for the team on occasion.
And that just fine by him.
"It's not an ego thing," Lawal said. "I just want to play and win. I know (everybody else) does, too. So, as far as touches go, that's not a concern."

Colonial Properties Trust Reports Results For First Quarter 2012
Sequentially, multifamily same-property NOI for the first quarter 2012 increased 0.3 percent compared with the fourth quarter 2011, with revenues increasing 0.6 percent and expenses increasing 1.1 percent compared with the prior quarter. The increase in expenses is primarily due to property taxes and repair and maintenance expenses.
Asset Recycling Transactions
In January 2012, as previously announced, the company acquired Colonial Grand at Brier Falls, a 350-unit Class A apartment community located in Raleigh, North Carolina, for a total purchase price of $45.0 million. The apartment community was built in 2008. The purchase was funded with proceeds from asset dispositions and borrowings on the company's unsecured credit facility.
In February 2012, the company disposed of its 25 percent interest in Colonial Promenade Madison, an 111,000-square-foot retail center located in Huntsville, Alabama, to one of its joint venture partners for $3.0 million in cash. The property was unencumbered. Net proceeds from the sale were used to repay a portion of the outstanding balance on the company's unsecured credit facility.Development Activity Construction continued during the quarter on three wholly-owned apartment communities: Colonial Grand at Hampton Preserve, a $58.3 million development with 486 units in Tampa, Florida; Colonial Grand at Double Creek, a $31.7 million development with 296 units in Austin, Texas; and Colonial Grand at Lake Mary (Phase I), a $30.3 million development with 232 units in Orlando, Florida. During the quarter, the company started construction on two wholly-owned apartment communities: Colonial Reserve at South End, a $59.3 million development with 353 units in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Colonial Grand at Lake Mary (Phase II), a $13.9 million development with 108 units in Orlando, Florida. Colonial Reserve at South End is scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter 2012 and projected stabilization is expected in the fourth quarter 2014 and Colonial Grand Lake Mary (Phase II) is scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter 2012 and projected stabilization is expected in the first quarter 2014.

Dark Spruce Fly
- By: A. K. Best
- Photography by: A. K. Best
IF I WERE PLANNING AN EXOTIC TRIP TO someplace south of the equator, among the first patterns I'd put in my fly box would be Dark Spruce weighted streamers in sizes 2 through 6. I have an affinity for this fly partly because it's one of the first steamer flies I learned to tie and, more important, because it always seems to work no matter where I fish it. To me an exotic trip equates to catching really big fish using big flies. Coq de Leon saddles solved the problem of tying large Spruce Fly streamers. The feathers have rounded tips and are long enough to easily tie size 2 or even larger, if you wish. Find one with furnace markings and dye it medium brown if it isn't already dyed for you.
Flash Fly
- By: A. K. Best
- Attach the white thread and tie in a small clump of pearlescent Krystal Flash. Lash the clump to the end of the hook shank and bring the thread forward to the starting point. Taper the tailing tips. Tie in the pearlescent Body Braid above the thread starting point, and lash it to the top of the hook, to the start of the hook bend. Bring the thread forward and wind the Body Braid forward to create a slight taper to the rear of the body. Tie down and trim off the excess.
The Winged Beetle
- By: A. K. Best
Every beetle I've ever seen on the water has its wing tips visible just behind the shell back halves. This usually amounts to about 25 percent of the insect's total silhouette. Yet all the beetle patterns I see in catalogs and in fly shops have no wing tips showing. I think it's
