By releasing a unique species of mites into field bindweed-infested forages, growers in semi-arid areas can likely gain control of the pesky plants that steel moisture and nutrients.
The "field bindweed mite" has been the subject of various bindweed control studies at Texas A&M University and New Mexico State University. Most of the research has been in wheat and native grasses, but Bob Stubbs has been using the mites with great success on his Tucumcari, NM, alfalfa farm.
"My bindweed problem was so bad that nothing would bother it," says Stubbs, who had tried various herbicide combinations. "But I've had excellent luck using the mites. From what I've seen, I have 100% bindweed control."
Virtually invisible to the naked eye, the mites are introduced to alfalfa or other forages either naturally or by placing mite-infested bindweed plants in a field. They begin to spread immediately.
"I put them out every 45' — then forgot about them," says Stubbs. "The infestation process took several months, but the weeds were totally gone after a year."
Basically, the mites zap the plant's energy by sucking its juices. They overwinter on bindweed roots and attack new growth the following spring. The following year's vine doesn't flower.
Stubbs began his mite program after getting infected bindweed leaf clippings from Texas A&M's Research and Extension Center in Amarillo. Gerald Michels, a Texas A&M research entomologist, conducted studies at several locations around Amarillo.
"In every instance, the mites were found to infest 99-100% of the bindweed," he says.
Early on, Michels worried about disruption of mite infestations during mowing. But he concluded that mowing might actually benefit the insects.
"Since the mites are almost microscopic, mowing the bindweed probably has little to no effect on the mites themselves," he says. "Also, if mown or chopped pieces of mite-infested bindweed tissue fall into the unmowed portion of the plant, it's possible that the mites move off the pieces of bindweed and onto the living plant."
He adds that it's likely that the mites are introduced to new plants with long lengths of bindweed that are pulled up and dragged across the field by mowing equipment.
Stubbs believes that other hay harvesting machines also help distribute infestations throughout a field.
"A hay field is a busy highway during the growing season," he says."It's easy to get a rapid spread of the mites once they get established."
Michels says the insects are most prevalent in semi-arid areas. He knows of no system to actually buy them commercially for bindweed control.
"We get the mites to growers by establishing mite-infested 'bindweed nurseries' in virtually every county (in northwestern Texas)," he says. "Growers can go to the nurseries and take some infected plants back to their farms for distribution."
Leonard Lauriault, a New Mexico State forage agronomist who also has helped establish nurseries, says bindweed in ditches, pastures and other areas may be infected with mites. He suggests that growers cut the plants and put them in their alfalfa fields, perhaps coordinating the effort with neighbors.

If you have read any novels recently, and are not buried in a hole deep in the bowels of Mongolia, than you have heard of The Help, by Kathryn Stockett. The post title is indeed a line from the book, my favorite line of it all. My book club read it over a year ago. It was phenomenal. I was reticent to see the movie because of the deep love and respect I had for the book and the writing, though I knew I would end up seeing it no matter what. Last night was the night, and it was nothing short of fabulous. More often than not, books that are made into movies fall short. Did this one? Thank goodness, no, it did not. The casting was dead-on. The flow of the movie was excellent. Did I feel the magic of the story all over again? Yes, indeed I did, so much so that fat, splashy tears ran down my cheeks. RUN, do not walk, to see this movie. First, though, make sure you have some besties with you and a healthy supply of tissues. Then go out for chocolate pie afterwards…..
A bonus point to the movie was the costuming. Lovely, fitted 1960's housewife dresses; bright blue capris that-I swear- J.Crew is carrying the cousin of right at this very moment-vivid colors, bright prints….It's Mad Men style but pumped up and girlier. I found this article discussing the costuming by Sharen Davis, whose own grandmother worked as 'the help' in Shreveport, LA . How did she design a wardrobe for southern belles dressing for bridge club?
"For costume designer Sharen Davis, that meant hyper-feminine dresses in Easter egg shades, with bold floral prints, modest necklines and full skirts nipped at the waist."This is probably the most color I've ever used in my life," said Davis, whose credits include "Dreamgirls" and "Ray." "And it's the first time I have not used a color palette for a film. Each of the women had her own story, her own home and her own color palette."Davis built 50 costumes from scratch using vintage fabrics (the rest were sourced from costume rental shops and vintage stores). The job was challenging because the film, which opens Wednesday, was shot in Greenwood, Miss., where resources were nil. "The only store is a Walmart. There wasn't even a Starbucks or a Target," she said. "I had to fly a lot of people back to L.A. for fittings on the weekends."
One of my favorite looks of the film was on Celia. This top? I want. Anthro could SO recreate this. Are you lookin', textile designers? It'd sell like hotcakes.
And this subtle, pink, large-scale gingham printed dress just reads Corey Lynn Calter to me:
See those sleeves and neckline, Anthro? I want. I would buy. I promise.
Go and see this movie. But read the book first. You'll fall in love twice. Guaranteed.
I did not wear this outfit below to the movie, but did wear it on Sunday. This skirt has been awesome to me. I can't believe I can still get it on, albeit wedged up and over the belly, completely unzipped. Nothing a tank and cardi can't disguise, right? No belly band needed.
I'm so proud….I've already finished two book mobiles I told you about in my last post. I'll have an instructional later this week. They are SO EASY, and I mean that. But today, I'm off to Houston for the BHLDN sneaky peaky. I can't wait! Another reason to be stoked? Two items on my wishlist finally hit sale, which I promptly snagged this morning:
What were you able to snag? This free shipping deal is going to get me in mucho troublero. I can feel it already. I'll be back with a full report, mostly likely Thursday. Have a lovely day!
xoxo Molly

Great advice, Kelsey. I think the managing expectations point is critical – it is not a quick win, it takes time and care, but if you do it right, the rewards in the medium term can be outstanding.
One thing that surprises me is Edelman's statement that "traditional news media continues to be the most trusted source of information". It conflicts with a Nielsen study of a year or two back that clearly put online customer/blogger opinions higher than traditional media and I would have thought that this trend would only be increasing. In fact, here's the link: http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/consumer/global-advertising-consumers-trust-real-friends-and-virtual-strangers-the-most
Maybe it's all in how you ask the question. Either way, trust in social media (including bloggers) is surging.

With only one previous stay at a B&B we weren't sure what to expect, but couldn't have asked for anything more. The accomodations were spacious, very clean and modern. Our bedroom had its own key as did the private entrance. We enjoyed the use of their pool table, large TV room and outdoor patio with a view of an amazing backyard pond project in progress. And last but not least, the fully equipped kitchenette with fridge and microwave was a blessing as dining in Lac la Biche was VERY limited. The hosts were very pleasant and definitely not intruding, and the experience overall was very pleasant - lookforward to returning if only to see the pond completed :o)

Attack of the 170-Foot Cross
Those of you who know me well know that I was raised a nominal Episopalian, and that in college I became a Southern Baptist, remaining such until Jennifer and I began the process of converting to Orthodoxy in 2001. In high school, my best friend was a devout Southern Baptist who attended a large church called Sagemont Baptist Church (which, along with thousands of other Baptist churches, later dropped "Baptist" from their name in order to appeal to a wider audience). I often would go to Sagemont with him, particularly to revivals and youth events.
When Jennifer and I returned to the Houston area after serving for five years as missionaries in Eastern Europe, we ended up buying a home that was only about a mile or so from Sagemont. Since we last attended there in 1998, the church has continued to grow, both in numbers and in wealth. Now they are in a massive building campaign. Part of that campaign includes the erection of a cross that is 170 feet high (they originally wanted it to be 200 feet, high, but the FAA made them reduce the height). I pass by the cross an average of two or three times a week.
As you might imagine, the cross has caused a wide variety of reaction, with some being opposed to the cross and others being in favor of it. Here is an excerpt from a story about the cross that appeared in the February 12 edition of the South Belt Leader, our small, weekly hometown newsletter. The writer's name is James Bolen.
Last week, Sagemont Church constructed a massive cross on its property near Beltway 8.
In the works since 2007, the completed structure stands 170 feet tall with a span of 60 feet at the horizontal beam. It is made of painted steel and weighs 90 tons and took three days to erect.
The purpose of the cross is to positively inspire passing drivers, according the Sagemont Church' senior pastor, Dr. John D. Morgan.
"We hope everyone who drives by will be reminded how much God loves them," he said.
Like all other Sagemont projects, the cross was being built debt-free. Morgan noted that the cross has not borrowed money since 1975, allowing Sagemont to do other things with money that many churches spend on interest each year.
This past year, the church spent approximately $1.5 million on local and global mission efforts. The church also gave a large sum to aid the community after Hurricane Ike, just as it did after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Morgan declined to put a monetary price tage on the structure, but humbly said, "It cost God his son and Jesus his life."
Due to Federal Aviation Administration regulations, the cross will be lit at night, allowing it to be seen for several miles in any direction.
The base of the structure features a 2,500 square-foot platform designed to accommodate weddings, Bible study classes, and other special events throughout the year. The platform hovers over a small lake that includes an area for baptisms. The bank of the lake features an amphitheater designed to seat approximately 250 people. Two walkways connect the amphitheater to the platform...
...The cross structure is complete, but final details on the project will be finished over the next few weeks. Upon completion, the cross area will be open to the public at all times for people to come pray, picnic, or just look.
Now, if the cross just had two more bars on it...
So, what are YOUR thoughts about this cross? Your comments are not only appreciated, they are actively sought.

Well...let me see what is my reaction to a 170 ft cross? My first thought is why did they do it, I mean other than what the preacher said. Some probably think it brings glory to God, others just that bigger is better and others I'm sure could find it a tad gaudy. Part of me thinks it is just another part of the mega-church phenomenon. (I came from one too - Second Baptist Houston.) What really concerns me though is what ever happened to humility? Would a church that is seeking to walk humbly before God ever erect such a thing as this? I don't know. I am not supposed to judge my brother but if St. Anthony's tried that I think I'd fight it big time.
God bless now and ever....
Wade - February 21, 2009 at 6:49 PM
Maybe it's just me, but after all that money to buy the think, could they have not stood it upright?
I am trying not to take jabs at them, bless their souls, as Fr. Honeycut would say, but it looks like a My God is bigger than your God complex.
However, I would not want a 170 foot tall half moon crescent in my backyard either. - February 21, 2009 at 8:10 PM

hmmmm...is it any different than St. Anthony's monastery having seven Churches on its property each costing millions...or any Orthodox Church pouring hundreds of thousands into hand carved iconostases and icons? The Cross is what their faith is about, it is their "statement". Our buildings and icons are what our faith is about, they are our statement. Theirs just happens to be very simple and big, and without judging motives it IS about Christ in the end. If people are scandalized, well... it IS the cross of Christ...I've erected goofier tributes to God in many ways in my life and I sure hope He honors the intention of the heart and not the actual actions or even the outcomes. Yikes.

I find it interesting that we (assuming Orthodox readers and comenters) are troubled or questioning the piety of erecting of a large cross. I remember a story I worked on while employed by a west Texas newsroom, a local farmer/rancher built a 3 story cross on his ranch next to the highway. Given this was west Texas, one could see the thing for over 5 miles in any direction. The neigbors could've cared less. There have been others who've built large monuments to thier faith as well, as example, the giant statue of Jesus in Equidore.
Nobody cares if people errect collosal secular images like the Statue of Liberty or the statue of Sam Houston in Hunstville, TX. But people get bent out of shape when it's a cross or simular monument. Either the cross is the "Tree of Life" or it isn't. Let us not speculate as to the piety of the builders, but be thankfull of its message. - February 22, 2009 at 2:31 PM

I'm feeling a little corrected right about now. That's probably a good thing. My response comes from 25 years in a mega church and seeing some very questionable things. I, and others, frequently asked the question - WHY? to some things that were done. The people dynamics and politics in a body that large is hard to fathom if you have not been in the middle of it. In any case I really hope their cross brings them to seek the Lord with all their heart soul Mind and Strength. Personally if I were to stand before a cross that big knowing what happened on it I would be driven to tears.
PS-The St.Anthony's I refer to currently meets in a trailer. - February 23, 2009 at 7:05 AM

Hi Wade, I know too well the "knee jerk reaction" to our pasts. Ironically I was at St. Anthony's Monastery today and posted what I found there on my blog. Check it out.
- February 23, 2009 at 11:41 PM
Isn't it astonishing how clean and white their cross is? What meaning does that carry?
- February 23, 2009 at 11:48 PM
- Mike Fulton said...
I guess I'm with Doug on this one. I'm just thankful that there are people out there who love the Cross of Christ so much that they would erect something like this.

DUX Dental Fundraising Campaign to Benefit Mammograms in Action
Posted on July 25, 2012
Oxnard, Calif. –DUX Dental has announced that Mammograms In Action® will be the recipient of the company's 2012 "Bib-Eze for Boob-Eze" campaign proceeds. Mammograms In Action is a non-profit breast cancer organization whose mission it is to provide funding for low-income and uninsured women and men who need screening and/or diagnostic procedures for the prevention of breast cancer.
"We have selected Mammograms In Action as the beneficiary of this year's Bib-Eze for Boob-Eze campaign funds because we admire and support the proactive approach the organization takes to early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer," said Paul Porteous, CEO and President of DUX Dental. "We are already half way to our goal of raising $5,000 and we call on the dental community to support this campaign because every dollar raised literally helps Mammograms In Action save lives."
During the fourth-annual "Bib-Eze for Boob-Eze" campaign, dental offices are invited to send their used bib chains and holders to DUX Dental in exchange for free boxes of Bib-Eze disposable bib holders. Dental offices will receive one 250-count box of Bib-Eze holders for each bib chain or holder that they send in. In addition, for every used bib holder received, DUX Dental will also donate $5 to Mammograms In Action. Dental professionals can visit www.bibezeforboobeze.com to pledge their used bib chains and download participation instructions. The Bib-Eze for Boob-Eze charitable campaign runs until October 31, 2012.
"We are grateful to DUX Dental for its tremendous support. In most cases, our grants serve as a last resort for individuals seeking breast cancer screening and diagnosis. This generous donation pledge will literally allow us to save more lives by providing many people with the services they need," said Zionna Munoz, Founder and CEO of Mammograms In Action.
Mammograms In Action has a two-fold mission. It is committed to raising awareness and diagnosis of breast cancer in symptomatic people who are under the age of 40, and who thus often don't meet the current requirements for screening that favor patients over 40. Secondly, the organization provides funding for screening and diagnostic procedures for people who otherwise don't qualify for funding from the government or other charitable resources. These recipients have typically been turned away from screening because of their age, inability to pay, or because they have lost their health insurance and have no other means of payment.

As 2012 gets underway, players in the casual furniture industry have their eyes on the economy and the housing market in the hopes that business will improve.
"Most [in our industry] feel it will be a better year, but probably not a gangbuster year, with all the economic turmoil and challenges that the U.S. and the world is still dealing with," said Joe Logan, executive director of the International Casual Furniture Association.
Logan said that the rising cost of raw materials and transportation will be among the biggest issues affecting business.
Douglas Peppler, vice president of sales for Agio International, said he's heard that retailers have leftover inventory from the 2011 selling season, which translates into more conservative buying patterns in early 2012. But, he's hoping to make the most of the situation: "We feel that it will present a good opportunity for Agio to be able to fulfill our customer reorders." Peppler said that with retailers beginning the year cautious, manufacturers have to be ready to ship when retailers need to replenish their inventory.
Adds Rory Rehmert, vice president of sales and marketing for Pride Family Brands, "It is an election year and it is unknown what impact this may have on our business. The stock market has to show stability. Consumer confidence has to increase and be positive. And lastly, our business is driven by the weather. Bring on the sun and we will have a great season!"
Rehmert said that the company expects to see a 10 percent increase for the year—and growth could be as much as 20 percent if the weather is good.
Gloster is also hoping to see double-digit increases, but Eric Parsons, president, said that everything depends on what's happening in the world economy in the all-important selling months of April and May. "If things are looking better in April and May, then our business will do well," he said. "If it's a lot of bad news, that's going to have an impact on consumer buying."
Meanwhile, Kingsley-Bate is more optimistic than many in the industry. "Based on early indicators, 2012 is on track to be our best year yet," said Brian Blakeney, director of sales and marketing. "Certainly things can change—the political, social and economic climate both internationally and domestically are in a state of tremendous flux—but we are optimistic about the future in our core markets."
Most manufacturers are aiming to combat sluggish business with interesting new collections and accessories.
At Leader's Casual Furniture, the company will be focusing on fun, bright fabrics, including dragonfly and butterfly prints that incorporate bold color. Tami Newton, commercial sales director of Leader's, said that she believes that items with a higher perceived value –i.e., getting more for less—and exceptional customer service are two selling points that she thinks will be crucial to getting consumers' business in 2012.
At Agio, Peppler predicts that porcelain tabletops will be a hot trend this coming season. "There are some beautiful designs and fantastic looks right now that our retailers are purchasing," he said. But, like Newton, he said that one of the most essential selling points will be value.
Other manufacturers concentrated on accessories and new product categories, such as Pride Family Brands, which introduced a line of fire pits to complement its collections.
Many insiders report that bigger is better when it comes to outdoor furniture. "Oversized dining sets will continue to outpace traditional five-piece dining sets," said Rehmert. "The new norm for dining is at least an 84-inch table and six or eight chairs."
And motion is becoming more important, too. "We're putting motion in every one of our ranges," reported Parsons of Gloster. "We have deep seating swivel lounge chairs in our teak dining collections, for instance," a new feature.
But one bright spot is that the industry's retail channels are shifting, often resulting in new players and increased opportunities. "It's a category that holds a lot of interest for retailers," said Logan. "We're now seeing a lot of interest from retailers that may have previously been strictly on the indoor side of the business and are now exploring selling outdoor furnishings, and Internet and catalog activity continues to be important for our industry's manufacturers. The number-one message is that there's much more interest in our category."
Rehmert of Pride Family Brands agrees. "We are growing our customer base and are not seeing much erosion within our current customers."
Meanwhile, Parsons of Gloster said that although the traditional casual furniture retail channel is shrinking, the industry is seeing growth in big-box stores like Home Depot, Lowe's and Costco. "Those guys are gaining some speed because people are looking for value," he said.

As mobile gaming starts to mature, new developers and properties have had a chance to shine. While Rubicon's Great Little War Game hasn't reached the lofty heights of some of the more mainstream titles, its mix of cartoonish humor and solid turn-based strategy has made it one of the most popular games on Android. The sequel, craftily named Great Big War Game, brings elements from both new and old strategy games to make a more cohesive whole.
Following up on the huge success of Great Little War Game, Rubicon Development has officially released the game's sequel: Great Big War Game.
Like its predecessor, GBWG is a 3D turn-based strategy game with a "unique comical style." Indeed, the series' art style is unique and fun, adding a lighthearted vibe to a game that encourages players to "spread mayhem and destruction." The game also has an easy-to-grasp control scheme, relying primarily on tap and swipe actions.

School of Seven Bells Debut New Record Live
If there were any opening night jitters, they were shared equally between the sound guy and a MacBook. After guitarist Benjamin Curtis and keyboardist-singer Claudia Deheza stared pleadingly into the glow of a malfunctioning laptop, the machine finallycame to life, the lights went low, and a playful bellow of "It's about fucking time! We love you!" came from somewhere in the crowd as the full band took to the stage. Joined by Claudia's twin sister, Alejandra Deheza, on vocals and guitar and Zachary Saginaw on drums, the band launched into "Windstorm," the first single from their forthcoming sophomore release Disconnect from Desire, out July 13th. For a band rightfully praised for its ethereality and otherworldly vocal harmonies, the sound that filled the small room of the Echo in Los Angeles was surprisingly percussive and floor rattling.
Smashing Pumpkins Play Intimate L.A. Show
The line that snaked down the sidewalk of Cahuenga Boulevard in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon contained a surprising variety of Smashing Pumpkins T-shirts, from the early '90s Gish era to 2007's Zeitgeist. The occasion was Record Store Day, and the band was treating the first 250 fans that pre-ordered their new EP Teargarden in Kaleidyscope, Volume 1: Songs for a Sailor to an intimate afternoon set at Space 15 Twenty, an open-air courtyard framed by an Urban Outfitters, an art gallery, and a gourmet burger joint. The courtyard was laid out like a tiny festival, with chilled beer in ice-filled tubs and the smell of grilling meat -- a picnic-casual event where head Pumpkin Billy Corgan roamed the fringes in dark collared shirt, black pants, white Nikes with a red swoosh, and a gray cap askew atop his bald pate. After a three-song opening set from local singer-songwriter Carina Round
M83 Play Disney Concert Hall with Symphony
French electro-poppers M83 have always gone for outsized drama with their electronic sound. That's one reason the band's mastermind, Anthony Gonzalez, agreed to share the stage Friday night with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the city's Frank Gehry-designed cathedral of classical music, the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Unfortunately, the event turned out to be much less than the sum of its musicians. The evening began when Gonzalez took the stage alone. He created moody flourishes that suggested he was hitting chimes with a mallet, instead of buttons on a computer keyboard. After three instrumental pieces, he was gone. The empty chairs that surrounded his opening performance then filled with members of the Philharmonic.
Dark Meat Break Ear Drums, Get Shut Down
To celebrate the unveiling of their new fall collection of music-inspired watches and accessories, Vestal Vestal Headquarters in Costa Mesa, CA hosted a parking lot bohemian bacchanalia on June 27 featuring Athens, GA 17-piece Dark Meat. Flanked by a giant digital clock counting up, the fete had the feeling of a reverse New Year's Eve. Revelers lined up in front of big balloons floating in the night sky marked "beer," "vodka," and "absinthe" acting as roadmaps to particular poisons (the latter served by nurses with tongue-depressors used as cocktail stirrers). Long before the band took the stage, its members had infiltrated the mingling masses with face paint and beads, and, by 10 P.M., the tent filled with the piercing sounds of their horn section, as they launched into "Well Fuck You Then," from their debut, Universal Indians.
Fratellis Take a 'Stand' at Spin's Ruby Concert Series
Bedecked in brown boots, black jeans, and a black and white Beatles Revolver T-shirt, Jon Fratelli emerged from the shadows of the Key Club stage Sunday night (June 15) to open the second season of the Ruby concert series, a music showcase presented by Spin in partnership with adidas Originals and Citi Private Pass. Competing chants shot from different pockets of the restless sold-out room, and a smattering of kids sporting Fratellis T's collected toward the front of the stage, their shirts hastily pulled over dresses and collared shirts, friends standing together in uniform looking like sidelined members of team Fratelli.
Original Jane's Addiction Lineup Reunite, Rock L.A.
Wide grins all around for this four-piece that crawled its way out of Los Angeles and into the world nearly 25 years ago. Hatchets buried, drugs stashed, the original lineup of guitarist Dave Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins, singer Perry Farrell, and the firmly elusive bassist Eric Avery (who had categorically declined all previous reunions) convened in Los Angeles last night at the fabled El Rey Theatre for a brief four-song set. Red curtains parted to the sounds of a Spanish-speaking female voice, the now-famous prerecorded prelude to "Stop," and 17 years after the band's final performance on the last Lollapalooza stop in Hawaii back in 1991, stage left was once again occupied by the circling presence of bass player Eric Avery.
Stone Temple Pilots Reunite at Houdini's Old Hollywood Haunt
Watch video highlights from STP's reunion right here! White vans gather up fans and haul them up the hill from Sunset Boulevard into fabled Laurel Canyon. Dusty trails of trampled sand and precarious stone steps surround the mansion, threatening to ruin the high heels and leather loafers of the beautiful people gathered here to witness the first Stone Temple Pilots performance in five, six, ten years, depending on who you ask or overhear. There's a large bust of a man's head, uplit and glowing in carved white stone, presumably of Harry Houdini, one-time resident of this house. Magic is implicitly promised, if not entirely delivered. "Yeah, all right. I wish I was here at this party," Scott Weiland pronounces after a slow-crawl rendition of "Big Empty" starts the show, which was presented by SPIN and Citi.
Kid's Nation
On a front patio of a Greek restaurant in Malibu, Kid Rock puffs on a thick cigar, holding court with friends and family visiting from Detroit; the topics range from Michigan football to Senator Larry Craig's bathroom escapade. It's after 11 P.M. when the 36-year-old musician born Robert Ritchie leaves, driving his black Mercedes up the Pacific Coast Highway to his new house. Inside, it looks like a pricey boutique hotel; there are scented candles, orchids, and a wine fridge. The only signifiers that say "Kid Rock" are a pewter Detroit Tigers tchotchke on a desk and a photo of him tossing the middle finger. That's because this isn't actually Kid Rock's home -- it's his residence, an important distinction. "I don't live here! I live in Detroit," he insists.

Arizona Cardinals
Insider: Andy Reid wants to coach in 2013, possible candidate with the Cardinals
Andy Reid is preparing to coach his last game with the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday after the 13 years with the organization.
But as ESPN Insider Adam Schefter reported Sunday, even if Reid is handed a pink slip by the Eagles in the coming days, don't expect him to be on the market long.
[Reid] has been calling around the league, trying to put together a coaching staff, so that if and when he is let go in Philadelphia, he will be ready to resume coaching for another franchise next season.
While most assumed Reid might be a logical replacement for Norv Turner in San Diego, Schefter reports the Chargers will not look be looking in the California native's direction.
One direction the veteran head coach might look in is the Valley and a potential head coaching vacancy with the Arizona Cardinals.
Sports Illustrated's Don Banks suggested the idea earlier in the week, and Schefter reported Sunday that the two parties might be a match.
Although he is not expected to be a candidate with the Chargers, he could wind up as a candidate in Jacksonville if the Jaguars fire Mike Mularkey or in Arizona if the Cardinals part ways with coach Ken Whisenhunt.
Under Reid's guidance, the Eagles have made nine postseason appearances, including a trip to Super Bowl 39 and four NFC Championship games.

The Sorrows of Fathers and Sons
Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of Treasure Island, was born in 1850 and raised in a Christian home in Scotland. His father was a civil engineer and brought up his only child to know and believe the Bible and the Shorter Catechism.
When Robert went to Edinburgh University, he left this childhood faith and never returned. He formed a club that had as one of its mottos, "Ignore everything that our parents taught us." His father found this written on a piece of paper and was informed by Robert that he no longer believed in the Christian faith...

Choosing a College
Once you've decided we offer a course that you'd like to study, you need to consider College choice.
In your UCAS application, as well as listing Cambridge (institution code CAM C05) as one of your options in the 'Choices' section, you'll need to enter the appropriate College (campus) code.
When it comes to selecting a College, you have two options — you can either choose a particular College to receive your application, or you can make an 'open' application (see below) and accept the allocation made by a computer program.
In both cases, your UCAS application is sent to a College, and that College assesses it.*
For equally well-qualified students, making an open application or specifying a preference College makes no difference to their chances of being made an offer.
Are some Colleges better for certain subjects?
All students on the same course, regardless of their College, attend the same lectures, seminars and practicals together, and sit the same exams. No Colleges are 'better' for certain subjects.
The key functions that the University (through the faculties and departments) and Colleges are responsible for are outlined in Cambridge Explained.
Choosing a College
How to choose a College
'How do I choose a College?' is a very common question, but as everyone's different there's no single answer. It depends on you, and what you're looking for from where you'll be living while at Cambridge.
When considering the Colleges, we suggest that you consider the following points:
- course — some Colleges don't take students in all subjects so check availability for the course you're interested in
- your age — four Colleges are exclusively for students aged 21 or over (mature students), and their facilities are geared accordingly
- your gender — three Colleges consider applications from female students only
- size — number of students
- appearance and type of accommodation (eg on-site or College-owned houses)
- particular facilities
- personal instinct — many students can't explain why they were drawn to their College other than it just 'felt right' for them
The individual entries within this section introduce each College to give you an idea of what they're like and have to offer. Once you've read the College profiles you may wish to:
- shortlist around half a dozen
- look at their websites to get more detailed information about the features, facilities and aspects that you feel are most important to you
- get in touch with College admissions offices if you have any questions — the staff will be happy to answer your queries and advise you
- visit a few Colleges so you can meet current students, talk to admissions and teaching staff, and see for yourself what it might be like to live and study there
Don't agonise over choosing a College (see also the information below regarding open applications). They have many more similarities than differences and students quickly settle in and really enjoy their College, wherever they end up!
Each year around 850 applicants are made an offer through the pool system by a different College to the one they originally applied/were allocated to. That's about 25 per cent of all offers made.
How NOT to choose a College
We're aware that a small number of myths exist about ways of choosing a College, but you shouldn't base your decision on a misconception, such as those below.
- Based on application statistics. Some applicants think, or are wrongly advised, that choosing a College that attracts fewer applications or making an open application will increase their chance of being made an offer. In fact, careful ongoing analysis of our admissions statistics shows that, for equally well-qualified applicants, making an open application or applying directly to a College does not affect your chance of being made an offer of a place. This is because we have rigorous procedures in place to compare all applicants for each subject before selection decisions are finalised. Strong applicants who've been squeezed out by the competition at their original College can be made an offer by another College through the pool. Colleges would rather admit a strong applicant from the pool than a weaker applicant who applied directly to them.
- Travelling time. It's worth remembering that Cambridge is a compact city so, wherever you are, getting between your College and your department (on foot, by bike or by bus) isn't difficult.
- Discounting single-sex Colleges. University teaching (lectures, practicals and seminars), is mixed and attended by students from all Colleges, and male friends are welcome in the women's Colleges. Women may apply to any College but the women's Colleges are able to provide an environment focused entirely on the needs and expectations of female students.
- Age of the College. The Cambridge Colleges range in age from over 700 to 30 years. No matter how old or young a College is, it has its own traditions and history. All Colleges provide the facilities and support that you'd expect to find, together with high quality supervision and support. In other words, the age (or youth!) of a College won't affect your student experience.
- Specialisms of a College's Fellows. Contrary to what some people believe, the research specialisms of a College's Fellows won't dictate what you can study study or guarantee you'll be supervised by them. If a Fellow of your College is an expert in the aspects of the course you've chosen, you may be supervised by them. However, you'll attend supervisions at another College if that's where the relevant subject expert is based. Teaching is a level playing field across the University and is not determined by the College you attend — the differences between the Colleges lie in the ambience, not the educational opportunities.
Making an open application
Making an open application
If, having looked at the different Colleges, you don't mind which you attend then you don't have to choose — you could make an open application instead.*
- After the closing date (15 October), a computer program allocates each open application to a College.
- The basis of the allocation is to even out the distribution of applicants across the Colleges — applicants from the UK/EU are allocated to Colleges which happen, in that year, to have received fewer applications per place in that subject than the average number across all Colleges; applicants from outside the EU are evenly distributed across Colleges in each subject.
- Once allocated to a College, your application is treated exactly the same as any other application.
- For equally well-qualified applicants, making an open application or indicating a preference College makes no difference to your chance of being made an offer.
If you're an applicant with unusual qualifications (eg a non-standard choice of A Levels for your subject), a mobility and/or sensory impairment, or need advice about your particular circumstances, then it's advisable to apply to a specific College having sought their advice about your circumstances at an early stage, rather than make an open application.
Before you submit an open application, be sure that you'll be quite happy whatever the outcome of the allocation: we can't change it once it's done.*
If you decide to make an open application, you should select '9' as the campus code on your UCAS application.
Further information about where your College or open application choice fits into the application process can be found in the applying section.
* Please note that you can only submit one application to the University, either selecting a preference College or an open application in your UCAS application. Applications to more than one College, or to one College and an open application are not allowed. In addition, once you have submitted your UCAS application, you cannot change this choice.

This is really becoming a problem. My neighbor's back gate is close to my front door, and as the week progresses, the stench of his garbage is noticeable on my porch. That's where I have guests come over, and leave. This isn't pleasant for them or us to experience whenever we want to go in or out. Is there something I can do? My neighbor doesn't seem interested in preventing the odors. I did speak to the HOA and they said I could register a complaint but I'm not sure I want it to go there. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you're not friendly with him, I'd suggest a pleasantly worded note asking them to move their cans for a few weeks. Explain the smell interferes with having guests on your porch. Don't threaten or say anything about filing a complaint. That's what I would do. |
Is it in an enclosed container with a lid and the lid closed? Might it be as simple as the lid being closed? I'm guessing that by his back gate is the most convenient or out of the way place for him/her to put it. If not in a container, I'd address the issue with the neighbor and ask that they get a container with a lid and use it...maybe go halves on it? |
I have a similar problem. My neighbor has a huge compost pile close to my property line. He and two other neighbors dump all of their yard debris on it. It is about 30' wide and 2' high. The bugs and the stench prevent me from sitting on the patio and on warm days, I can't even open the windows B/C of the odor. What can I do? |

Lightbotz: Munnys Get Illuminated
If you've never heard of a Munny, you're probably not a vinyl toy freak. But if you have, you know they're these non-descript bodies which can be used as a blank canvas for creating unique handmade toys. The sky is really the limit when it comes to creativity with these little dudes, as is evidenced by the images you're about to see.
Lightbotz are the latest creation from artist Marcus Tremonto, and they're basically plain-white Munnys, loaded up with electroluminescent lighting. And these aren't just glowing heads or something.
Each Lightbotz Munny is loaded up with a carefully hand-placed array of EL illumination emanating from its head or body. Check out this one called "Captain Light Master Dunny."
No word on when you'll be able to buy Lightbotz for your own desktop, but if and when Marcus does decide to sell them, this is the one I want:

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Chubz!
Facts about Chubz
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: Spotted Tabby/Leopard Spotted
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Medium
Chubz's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
From the first picture you can see why we call him Chubz. :)
He is always eating. He is off mom now and has ben for about a week, he uses his litter box and loves his kitten food.
Chubz is very laid back after all that eating, but he still loves to play and hang out with the group. He is the biggest of the litter, and a complete love bug.
Other Pets at Special Feline Fostering
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chubz, a East Tawas Domestic Mediumhair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in East Tawas, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair kitten from a breeder in East Tawas.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in East Tawas already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a East Tawas breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in East Tawas paves the way for another one to be saved.

Thieves in the Bible: Theft, Robbery, The two thieves Are you good enough to get to Heaven? Answer How good is good enough? Answer
"Never trust a thief." Movie studios don't always have it right. Sometimes there have been stellar films that have unjustifiably had no advertisements or were directly released to DVD. Well, don't let the cover of this movie fool you. While Morgan Freeman is a classic and Antonio Banderas still has charm, this movie is very poorly made and nowhere near the superb ranks of the likes such as "Ocean's Eleven" or "The Italian Job." During a robbery on a subway, Gabriel Martin (Antonio Banderas) runs into renowned jewel thief Keith Ripley (Morgan Freeman). Impressed with what he sees, Ripley convinces Martin to join him in the biggest heist ever. They are to steal two Faberge Imperial Eggs from an almost impossibly impenetrable safe. During this, they have to avoid the NYPD and the Russian mafia who are hot on their trail. Heist movies can be fun when it comes to plot twists and action. However, this movie is boring and far too simple. In the plot being too simple, this resulted in the movie becoming entirely too predictable and slow paced. In addition, Antonio Banderas just didn't fit well in his role. While he's a talented actor, the script and directing certainly did not help. With some salsa music in the background, the camera would often zoom in on his face as he'd give his girl that sultry look. While he is still handsome, the attempt to emphasize this made the scenes very silly. Throughout the entire movie, Antonio Banderas kept reminding me of his most famous role as Puss in Boots. From his tone to his pitch, I kept smiling wondering if he'd pull out a sword. I am not entirely sure why, since whenever I watch "The Legend of Zorro" I am never reminded of the animated character. Morgan Freeman is an actor in a class of his own. While experts have said that Will Smith is a highly bankable actor, I'd have to argue that Morgan Freeman definitely has some bankability of his own. However, I was totally surprised by his participation in this project. His acting in the film was very wooden as if he himself were bored. A better reason to skip this movie entirely is its offensive content. There's heavy cursing and a graphic sex scene with nudity. On a television, a nude woman was shown in very close-up shots. The female lead, also, wears very skimpy clothing, and at one time, her breasts almost fell out while she was dancing. All this offensive content did not fit the movie; it felt as if it was simply added to create an "R" rating. Without all of this, this movie could have easily been marketed as a PG movie, but again, moviemakers apparently felt the need to dirty up a potentially clean plot. In some of the dialogue, Gabriel kept repeatedly asking Ripley why he didn't just walk away from thievery. Ripley replied that he was "born to steal sh*t." While it's a definitely an eye-rolling comment, some people have used that line when explaining different sins, almost as if God made them commit sin and left them no option. This is completely opposite of the truth. Sin is born first out of evil desire from a person's own heart. When a person willingly and knowingly gives into that evil desire, then a sin is committed. In James 1:13-15, he wrote: "When tempted, no one should say, 'God is tempting me.' For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is full-grown gives birth to death." I wholeheartedly recommend skipping this offensive bore of a movie. It is simply not worth the price of the rental and especially not worth the grievance it'd cause the Holy Spirit which lives inside all Christians.

I believe we have the newest Russian tourist video. I've always wanted to indulge in the finest Russian lagers and vodka, and if a group of underagers can have this much fun with that wimpy American beer, their native land must be one wild ride.
Hate to rain on this glorious Russian parade, but I seem to recall a certain celebration at last year's Olympics drawing the ire of the IOC. Meanwhile, we refer to this tournament as the "World Juniors" colloquially, but officially it was the 2011 IIHF World U20 Championship. So it's kind of in the name that an entire team was drinking illegally in Buffalo.
There, that's my moralist rant for the week. We all would have done the same, and here's to hoping they get home in one piece. Hangovers come in many different varieties, but airport hangovers are by far the killer beast of the jungle.

Hi there, putting a new floor into a screened porch that has exposure on 3 sides. There is a roof overhang, but floor will see its share of water and UV.
What would you suggest for a finish? Lots of decking finishes are not to be used in an enclosed area. I'm not looking for anything particularly dark/staining ideally something just slightly darker than the natural pine look or even a clear finish. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by Jumpilotmdm (My Page) on Fri, Jul 13, 12 at 15:31
Is it a floor, or a deck? A floor has no space between the boards. The enclosed area restriction is due to mildew fighting compounds and their potential to smell over the long term. If it is just screened in I would not worry about it. Try a sample of Cabot Clear Solution [5? colors available]. |

Outline of Need:
In the three decades since Interstate 70 by-passed Green River, Main Street business has virtually disappeared. The related job losses and out-migration seemed to suggest continued decline until the once thriving community would become a mere memory.
How Rural Development Helped:
The Epicenter used a Rural Business Enterprise Grant (RBEG) to fully renovate a boarded up 105-year-old building with AmeriCorps VISTA and NCCCs doing the actual work on the building, including a replacement foundation, new roof, and new façade.
Nowadays, this small community 100 miles west of Grand Junction, Colorado is the last gas stop for westbound travelers before Salina, Utah 110 miles away. The town is near the take-out point for river trips on the section of the Green River known as Desolation Canyon – desolation may characterize the place for visitors not fortunate enough to become acquainted with the energetic folks who work with Green River PACT and the Epicenter
The Results:
The revitalized old Baxter Building now serves as an outreach office for circuit riding representatives of Utah's Workforce Services, USDA Rural Development and other state agencies providing assistance to the local population. The building also houses an amazing variety of business services including financial services, graphic design, business planning, housing design (including the design and construction of a Habitat for Humanity project).
The Epicenter works with the community to help employ those who need assistance. The Epicenter is comprised of citizen architects and designers ready to serve others and use their talents as a way to make real changes with real effects. Volunteers offer training to aid families who need financial support and help gain the experience to secure or seek employment. The Epicenter works with local contractors and educates local builders on the importance of building efficiently and implementing sustainable designs. The Epicenter invites community members for their input throughout the various design phases of the projects. All of this assures a sense of pride and ownership in helping to build one's community.

Seriously, Wooot the Hell?
Wooot.com case needs proofreading; sheds light on UDRP panelist practices.
Yesterday Elliot Silver wrote a post about the UDRP decision for Wooot.com. The panelist found in the complainant's favor, but ordered the domain name canceled rather than transferred.
I have to admit, even as someone who reads a lot of UDRPs, until about a month ago I assumed that canceled meant transfer. Why? Because it's so stupid to think of a domain being deleted rather than transferred to the winner. If it's deleted, someone else will just pick it up.
But as it turns out, they are two different things. It's right there in the UDRP rules. There's a long running joke about how some inexperienced counsel will ask for a remedy of a domain being "canceled" instead of transferred, not realizing what will happen if they win.
But in the case of Wooot.com, it seems that the panelist just opted for the language "canceled". I'm inclined to think this may be because he (or someone connected to National Arbitration Forum) was cutting and pasting bits and pieces from other decisions. Why? Let's break down a couple things from the Wooot.com decision.
First, under "Parties Contentions", the decision starts out stating:
Complainant held a trademark registration for AOL and Respondent registered the domain name aol.com.
Huh? AOL? The complainant is Woot.com. As it turns out, iAOL.com is a completely different UDRP case from 2002 from a different panelist.
Then under "Additional Submissions" it states:
The submission of Respondents is that the Complainant's arguments in its letter written by its representative P. Weston Musselman Jr. makes does not substantiate its Claims. And the submission of the complainant is that
It literally stops at "that". I have no idea if this guy Musselman was actually involved with this case or if this is from another case.
Is this a matter of cutting-and-pasting from other decisions?
George Kirikos started digging into it and found something interesting. Take a look at another decision by the same panelist, which states:
"Having established all three elements required under the ICANN Policy, the Panel concludes that relief shall be DENIED".
That's a contradictory statement. If they established all elements it would be granted.
Kirikos found 41 instances of various panelists writing that same contradictory statement in their decisions. (See comments here for exact case numbers.) So they're either cutting and pasting or not paying attention. Either is a bit disconcerting.
18 Comments
ICANN needs to mandate that UDRP providers output decisions in a standard XML format, so that academic researchers can dig deeper. There are about 2000 matches for "UDRP" in Google Scholar, but only a handful look at text of decisions, etc.
The tide is turning.
Time to bury the NAF in a lawsuit!
Dirty, money-grubbers!
Some great reporting here Andrew/George. Thanks for doing all of us a favor and shedding light on this.
This is a big DAMN deal!
Ah… the good old days of UDRP-canceled domain names:
I spent two years collecting those things, and cancellations died out for quite a while thereafter.
They have made a big comeback, and it is simply mind-boggling.
Andrew, it is just delightful and an amazing feat that you are able to detect this stuff and publicize it.
And of course George never ceases to amaze with his research skills and pursuit of the truth.
Perhaps we need to make the use of Odesk.com monitoring tools mandatory for UDRP panelists, which takes screenshots while they work? This would make it transparent which panelists are doing real work, writing original decisions after thoroughly considering both sides of the case, and which panelists simply fill in the blanks on prewritten templates and are done in 10 minutes, earning $5,000+ per hour as they churn out nearly identical decisions.
I agree with you, Andrew. That's why I said there are two types of panelists. It's high time to weed out the bad ones.
Even worse than some of these cut/paste jobs are the ones where pro-complainant panelists re-interpret UDRP terms to expand things beyond its original intent, e.g. the "and vs or" issue for bad faith registration AND us, the ones who equate "evidence" and "proof", when they are very different, the ones who don't even consider reverse domain name hijacking, even though it's mandatory to do so, even in default cases, and so on. The ones who on one day are a panelist, creating "precedents", and the following week are representing complainants who cite those same decisions as precedent to help their cases, are amongst the worst.
Oops, I meant "registration AND use" (not "us).
Just as a quick followup, what I hope happens is that we see the *good* panelists rise up against their shoddy peers. I'm sure the good ones don't want to associate with the bad ones.
If the system is working properly, the good panelists should rise to the top, and crowd out the bad ones. However, the opposite can also occur, that the bad ones get more cases because the good ones all leave out of disgust. Given what happened with NAF in credit card disputes (see their Wikipedia article under "National Arbitration Forum"), that pro-complainant bias by the provider (they are a business, after all, and might be encouraging forum-shopping through their behaviour, to attract more complainants away from WIPO and CAC) might be alarming to some of the good panelists, who might not get a fair share of the cases.
In the early days of the UDRP discussions (before a final policy was adopted), there was a proposal that the *registrar* pick the provider, rather than the complainant. This might provide less forum shopping than we have today (even fairer would be if the registrant picked the provider). Recall the Montreal Canada UDRP provider eResolution went out of business, as discussed at UDRPInfo.com (Michael Geist's early study of UDRP bias) because not enough complainants were picking them (because they were deciding against complainants too often compared to NAF and WIPO).
If they cannot get the decision right without typo's and errors, imagine how bad the research to make the decision was!
This is not a cookie cutter industry.
I hope to see a freeze in UDRP proceedings and filings until this can be sorted out.
The excellent points of this article on proofreading are, ironically, undercut by the glaring spelling and grammatical errors the author makes (needed more proofreading?). See the statements "George Kirikos starting digging into it and found…." as well as "I have no idea if this guy Musselman was actually is involved with this case…." Thankfully, no domains were harmed in the drafting of this piece.
Have there been similar errors made in WIPO decisions or is the NAF the sole culprit here?
The good folks at NAF caught with the old copy/paste again! There was a recent UDRP regarding AdventureRV.com where the complainant not only lost, but was found to have engaged in Reverse Domain Name Hijacking.
However, in NAF's index of cases, it's listed as "Transferred"! Here's the annotated screenshot, before they go and change it:
The story keeps getting interesting. NAF has been caught revising the past:
instead of answering to the public. ICANN has been silent on the issue.
As a followup to this older story, it looks like Woot finally obtained the wooot.com domain, via a new UDRP filing against the new owner:
Thanks for noticing the new decision, George. The Panelist here, Tyrus R. Atkinson, Jr., has a solid reputation.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say "lack of desire" is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women. - March 16, 2010 at 9:08 PM
