My daughter and i were on a small ferryboat in Reykjavík Harbor, Iceland, making our way toward Videy Island to see what is probably the leastknown and most unusual art installation by one of the world's most famous sculptors: Richard Serra's Afangar ("Standing Stones"), named for a celebrated Icelandic poem. Throughout Serra's career, his work has challenged definitions of sculpture. And this sitespecific piece, covering the northwest part of an island less than a square mile in size, remains his largest landscape project. It was finished in 1990. I can't imagine what took me so long.
Hearing last August that Serra was to have a 40-year retrospective devoted to his work at the Museum of Modern Art in New York—now on view through September—I asked my daughter to go to Iceland with me to see the piece before the exhibition opened. Neither of us had ever been there, and we were struck immediately by the strangeness of the land—the austere, devastating beauty of one of the youngest countries (geologically speaking) in the world. This Sunday morning was cloudy, windy, and cool, and the small ferryboat bobbed through the choppy harbor on the fiveminute trip to the island. We were the only passengers. From the boat, we could see spectacular rock formations along the shore: tall, stepped groupings of grayblack basalt. The boat docked in front of a small church, whose parish house is also a café for visitors in the summer months. To my surprise, the first thing we saw upon setting out to find Afangar was a complex installation by the Danish conceptual artist Olafur Eliasson, very near the church. A large domelike structure made of timber, iron, and glass, named Blind Pavilion (for the hidden point at the center of its prismatic black panes), it turns out to have been created as a Danish contribution for the 2003 Venice Biennale. Here, it appeared strangely incongruous.
We had the map our hotel in Reykjavík had supplied, which was a good thing, as no one was in sight to ask for directions. Videy Island consists of two parts: Heimaey, the main area (last inhabited in the 1950's) and Vesturey, the site of Afangar, across an isthmus that gives onto a low, undulating plateau only 16 feet above the sea. Walking over the isthmus and up a grade, we spotted the first stone column, which, from a distance away, appeared to be about the size of a human being. We rose toward it on a narrow gravel path, then cut across the grass for a closer look. It loomed 13 feet high. Then we saw the next pair of columns in the distance. Suddenly, the landscape and the horizon seemed to expand. Sea and sky became an overwhelming presence.
Bera Nordal, director of the National Gallery of Iceland and the Reykjavík Sculpture Union, invited Serra to create a piece for Iceland in 1988. The commission was to be either for the museum or for a public space in the city. But when Serra traveled to Iceland, he was struck by the landscape's "stark, immense vastness," and asked if he could produce a sitespecific installation instead. Learning that Videy Island was a national preserve, he proposed it as the site. Work began in 1989.
Afangar consists of nine pairs of basalt columns, igneous rock formed by pressure, the heating and cooling of Iceland's lava flows, and the shifting of tectonic plates. (The stones were quarried and trimmed on the mainland near Reykjavík.) At times, when close together, the columns seem like couples. All together, they form a loose ring on the island's periphery. Although the topography of Videy varies, Serra chose to make the stones—they're all either nine or 13 feet tall—rise to a uniform elevation; their placement seems both random and calculated: like pushpins on a map, they mark out a rhythmic sequence.

Everyone wants to attract money! Take a look at the picture of coins...what do you see?
Coins? Yes.
Take a closer look.
Do you see the word "money" hidden in the coins. It is written vertically on the coins. Look again...
...there it is! Money is everywhere. Waiting for us.
Not everyone realizes that there are some steps to attract money.
10. Know Exactly What You Desire
If you are not clear on what you want, how can you ever expect to create it?
Name it and claim it. Write down the amount of money that you want to manifest. You must know that this money is yours.
If you are doubting, then the chances of this money coming to you are slim. See yourself as if you are already in possession of the money.
$20,000 a month, what does that look like to you? What would you spend 20K on? Where will the money come from? (That doesn't mean it must come from that place, it just gets the energy moving toward your money goal.)
9. Be Do Have
You must be the person that creates $20,000 a month. Move through your life as that person. You must BE the person first.
Then DO what the person who creates 20K a month would do, to HAVE what they would have.
How would they make decisions?
Would they make decisions quickly or slowly?
Would they make their decisions based on their goal?
"Successful people make their decisions quickly and change their minds slowly, unsuccessful people make their decisions slowly and change their mind quickly" ~Andy Andrews
8. Understand Law of Abundance
The Law of Abundance states that there is plenty to go around. More than enough money for everyone! It all starts with what you think and say about money. Speak positive money affirmations such as:
So what do you do if you don't believe your affirmations? Then use this all powerful word..."process."
You get it!
7. Visualize Your Goal
Take a few minutes each day and see yourself in possession of your goal. Feel it!
Create a moving picture with images. I also add friends or family to a goal when I visualize, I see my husband, Bill telling me he's proud I achieved my goal.
Or I picture my daughters cheering me on, "Go Mom! You can do it!" Visualization is a step that some people will leave out, it is a vital part of reaching your goal. Daily visualization will allow you to attract money (or whatever) into your life.
6. Flow Baby!
You can create flow by understanding that money is energy and that energy must move!
Give a great donation, knowing it will return to you. When you give money to others, you are telling your subconscious that you have enough money to give and that you expect that money to return......and you will attract money.
5. Action!
"Nothing happens until something moves." ~Albert Einstein
When you have the internal nudge act on it. It is the small steps that create the BIG life.
Right now, when you look at your bank account, realize that is your past being reflected. You are taking new steps of action today that will create different results for you a month from now, 3 months, next year.
"It's better to light a candle than to curse the darkness." ~Carl Sagan
4. Stop The Monkey Chatter
When my minds goes to negatives, I stop myself immediately. Stay away from limiting beliefs. Replace it with a positive affirmation.
Examples of Limiting Beliefs About Money
Don't speak into existence those words. Law of Attraction states that whatever you focus your attention and energy on, you create more of the same. Like attracts like.
Watch your words carefully! Speak of what you want!
3. Keep Moving Forward
Yes, there will be times in the desert. Allow those times to create a crystal clarity for you...and then keep moving forward...
...Always moving toward your goal.
Sometimes, it may feel like one step forward, two back but continue to move forward. I have found that when I travel through the desert it is a necessary time to reach my goal...in fact, it usually means I am very close to attaining my goal.
2. Don't Hang Out With The Sinkers
You know the ones, right? The friends and family that drain your energy and money. Cut them loose.
The Law of Association says we become who we hang out with. Hang out with the people that are getting the results that you seek. You will feel refreshed and energized by like minded people instead of physically and emotionally drained.
1. Follow Your Bliss!
When you follow your passion, you will attract money. Love what you do! Be of service to others and money will find you. When you feel passion about what you do you will attract others to you. Let your bliss be your north star!
P.S. People often send me messages on Facebook or through my website asking, "Tammi, can you show me how to use Law of Attraction and make more money?"
Actually that the BIGGEST question I get.
And the answer is this...
A simple way to make more money is to use the exact system that Bill and I use each day to make THOUSANDS each month. Put your email address in the box and you'll see an immediate video.
Or click the yellow ribbon below.
I'll see you on the inside :)

I have a bog that puddles especially in wet weather. So far primulas and darmera peltata have died. The iris has not spread very well. Any suggestions?
Hedy |
Follow-Up Postings:
What iris have you tried? Iris versicolor should do very well in that type of situation. Pickerel weed and arrowhead should fare well too. Obedient plant, marsh marigold, sweet flag, new york aster, among others. |
you need a good plant for standing water then. It sounds like it is standing in this water for a lenghty period of time. Try looking here for a suitable plant as you will want something that can be in wet/drenched locations that are hardy and for your zone. |
Dendy, it is unfortunate that the link provided does not mention zones. For those of us in the north, it is a seriouis problem. Do you know of a source like this that does mention zones? The pictures, however, are most helpful. Thanks. |
Try this one - it is for zones 7 and lower: http://www.fishpondinfo.com/marginal.htm Standing water... sounds like you need to figure out the depth of your plant's need. http://aquat1.ifas.ufl.edu/wgmelton.html Please keep in mind there is a difference between the plant zones and the planting -depth- zones for aquatic plants. I would even be as bold to say try placing pea gravel in this area and give it some height. Then you can plant a variety of other plants as well as have a boggish filter garden. They are very pretty. Adding pea gravel may however push the water to other areas then bog like trenches come to mind.... Use your imagination... This is the fun part of water gardening *S* |
Thank you for these great sites. I've been growing many of the plants suitable for moist soil but they don't like the standing water. Hedy |
I have a friend in Wisconsin, similar climate to NY, who lives near a cedar swamp. It's filled with jack-in-the-pulpits, believe it or not. They seem not to mind the seasonal flood/freeze/dryout cycle. Also the skunk cabbage is a good plant. There are several species of native and exotic jewelweeds (Imapatiens species) (pink, white, yellow, orange-spotted) which are annuals but grow fast, give a good flower show, and attract hummingbirds; all reseed themselves. In northern Wisconsin I've also seen wild yellow callas, arrowheads, pickerel reeds, and various reeds and cattails (there are several species to choose from) that grow in standing-to-boggy places. I'd say your best bet is to look at local wild wetlands, and get plants for your wet spot that are the same. Or plug a weeping willow stick into that wet spot to grow. It's root system will suck every last drop out of that wet spot. Or get a back hoe and dig yourself a natural pond. Your problem is not the wetland per se. It's the fact that your frost goes down so deep that it kills many tubers and roots. Thus you need to stick with local fully winter-hardy plants. But you have many choices for your zone. All the best, FireVicar |

Accessories and Documentation
First off you get the BQT T13525-Mf-PWM fan with its 1300 RPM maximum and the 200mm cable terminating in a four-pin fan connector.
The box of hardware, which was on top of the cooler as you open the packaging, is full of all kinds of assorted hardware to go along with the various sockets this cooler is compatible with.
Flanking both sides are the AMD mounting brackets with the Intel 1155/1156 brackets sitting between the 1366/775 brackets in the middle. At the bottom, on the left are four black spacers and on the right are the mounting screws that pass through the motherboard.
In this image we have the LGA2011 brackets surrounding the wrench that is used for both the 2011 specific screws on the left and the nuts that secure the brackets for the rest of the sockets as well as this 2011 hardware.
Here we have the padded, universal backplate to get the Dark Rock 2 installed. You also get a packet of 3mm M3 screws to mount the appropriate brackets to the base of you cooler for installation along with a small syringe of TIM to get you on your way to cooling.
The paperwork that comes with the cooler offers a full parts list so that you can be sure you are ready to go ahead and install the cooler before you get part way in and realize you are missing something. As for the installation instructions, considering the limited space with the multiple languages being covered, they still manage to do a thorough job of describing the steps with both really good drawings and text to alleviate any confusion.

A FEW!??????? Ok, I would hate to see your trees loaded with blooms... Just magnificent and congrats on that! It must smell mighty nice Mike |
It does smell very nice but I can't credit it all to the calamondins. The Moro blood orange and ponderosa lemon are also blooming...just not as heavily. The meyers and navals should be blooming in next couple weeks too. But yes it is very pleasant out there especially around dusk. I was just out there walking the dog and the perfume was everywhere. They were loaded with calamondins last year and there weren't nearly as many blooms as this year. I might have to do some culling later depending on how much fruit sets. |

Software Review and Free Download | Internet and Network Tools | Internet Kiosk Pro
» Review Advanced Internet Kiosk Pro v4.0
(August 2007)
Use Internet Kiosk Pro to convert your PC into an Internet kiosk or a public access PC.
Set it up to completely disable access to vital files installed on your PC
and give full access to all necessary applications users should use. Create
a workstation that can be safely used under public environment, where a lot
of people have free access to it, but none of them can damage system files
or clutter your HDD with garbage. Enable access to any programs installed on
your PC including Internet Explorer, mail client and office applications.
Internet Kiosk Pro is the best solution for Internet cafes, libraries,
information terminals, stand-alone kiosks and for home PC for limiting
children activities. Internet Kiosk Pro lets you use several authentication
modes to access locked desktop such as username and password authentication,
time-locked code to allow users to access workstation for a given period of
time only, or a combination of both.
Internet Kiosk Pro has everything you need to get up and running with your
own Internet kiosk or a publicly available PC. Here are the top reasons why
you should buy Internet Kiosk Pro:
Lock workstations so that only the programs you allow can be executed.
Prevent people from gaining access to your windows environment.
Create shortcuts to different web sites.
Run Internet Explorer in kiosk mode.
Run some shortcuts automatically.
Allow only people who have access to use your workstations.
Possible to issue the time locking codes.
Possible to block most of the functions in the Internet Explorer.
Choose keys to block.
Share one file with usernames across multiple workstations over the net.
Run the program automatically in locked mode in your workstation.
Make the program log in automatically.
Unlock it as administrator with master password quickly and easily.
Here are more details on what these options mean to you and how they can
help you use Internet Kiosk Pro:
Lock workstations so that only the programs you allow can be executed - You
can lock any PC and allow users access to only one or more programs that you
choose. By default, all programs are disabled and you have full control on
which programs to enable. You might want to only enable Internet Explorer or
one of your specific programs that you use, for example a library may enable
it's own library search program.
Prevent people from gaining access to your windows environment - This
program is built to make every effort in preventing the users from gaining
unauthorized access to your regular Windows environment. Once the user is in
locked mode, he stays in the locked mode. You can even set the program so it
goes into locked mode by itself right away after the reboot.
Create shortcuts to different web sites - You can create shortcuts to
websites that you choose. As many as you like. This is done to make it
convenient for users to visit certain sites you want.
Run Internet Explorer in kiosk mode - For any shortcuts you can specify to
run the Internet Explorer in kiosk mode. This means it will open up in full
screen, without any toolbars (no address bar, task bar and so on) and will
look as if it is the only application running. You can create one or all of
your shortcuts in this mode. It's your choice.
Run some shortcuts automatically - You can mark Internet shortcuts as
executed by default.
This means every time a user logs into the workstation with Internet Kiosk
Pro, this program will run by itself.
Allow only people who have access to use your workstations - You have full
control on who gets access to your workstations. You can choose to let
everybody use your workstations or only the users that you specified with
username and password. You can also choose give people a one-time code that
is limited in time and can be used only once.
Possible to issue the time locking codes - When you run an Internet cafe, or
simply want your users to have access that is limited in time, a perfect way
is to issue a time locking code.
It is only valid for a certain period of time and will automatically sign
out user and close all his or her programs.
The user will see the time left for him to work on the workstation and a
special progress bar that will also visualize it even further.
Possible to block most of the functions in the Internet Explorer - Internet
Kiosk Pro has a very easy way to allow or disallow certain functions in
Internet Explorer. You can hide or show menus, toolbars, allow or prohibit
downloads, hide drives on the disk and so on.
Check the Internet Kiosk Pro trial version to see the big selection.

I bought a home in NY state that has a garden of mostly perennials. The previous owners planted a rose bush and it has spread underground throughout the perennials and there are long canes lying atop everything, with roses at just the ends. How do I manage these? Do I just cut everything back to the ground? Do I dig some of the spreading parts up and replant them? I have found the original plant and think the rest spread from there. I don't even know what kind of rose it is - if a climber or what! I don't want it to take over the perennials and if I could relocate the roses that would be good. |

you should be able to cut the sucker off at the base of the other rose. it should help the other rose grow stronger. it may be a runner , or it could be rootstock like Dr. Huey |
Thank you so much. I was unsure about being able to cut them off. I have a few roses in Florida but they are bushes I bought myself and knew what to expect. This had me stumped! I didn't even know some could spread underground until I saw these. Can I cut them as soon as the flowers are gone? The roses are small pink carnation-looking, not like the petaled roses I'm familiar with. |

Interesting, can you send a picture to my email? It doesn't sound like Rootstock? Dr. Huey is Red, reminds me of a Mr. Lincoln almost. Is the plant / small pink carnation looking flowers, the same type of flowers that are on the "mother" plant ? If you are going to cut the sucker, you can do it before the sucker flowers, the sooner the better, as it is just taking energy from the parent plant by the sounds of it. Also any idea on when the rose was planted? sounds like it could be a mystery =) |

What you have is probably a rugosa called Pink Grootendorst. As you have found out, they spread. If you dig them up, unless you get all of it, it will be back. You will have to keep at it. If you want to establish one elsewhere, get as much root as possible. Preferably with some feeder roots, but not all suckering roses produce a lot feeder roots. Curl it up in a 1 or 2 gallon pot, add soil, and put the whole thing in a saucer of water in the shade. When it starts growing, it has enough of a root ball to come out of the water and be treated as a normal plant. |
I just moved into a new place that has a pink rosebush. It bloomed once & then stopped. It has new growth on it, but after that one early bloom, it stopped producing flowers. Recently I was digging up the daylilies around it that looked like they were choking the rose, & I found what looks like a runner about 5 feet long. I wasn't sure if it was ok to cut this since I didn't want to damage the root, but is this why my bush is not blooming this summer? Can I cut this off? |

Atkins is boosting its design team in China to capitalise on the world's largest emerging market announcing a senior appointee from Foster & Partners (F&P).
Peter Ridley joins the Atkins team in China as a senior design director for Architecture and will help lead the design process as part of a team of over 300 Architecture, Planning, and Landscape professionals split between offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen.
Ridley, who spent ten years as a partner with F&P said: "Atkins is a very well established brand within China, and the opportunity to contribute to the evolution of the company in such a vibrant market place was a very strong draw. The potential for designers really is staggering as there has been a seismic shift in emphasis in China towards low carbon architecture and planning"

The Phoenix Flies: A City-Wide Celebration of Living Landmarks
Presented by:
Atlanta Preservation Center
Various locations
Today – 3/23/2014
Event Description
The Phoenix Flies was created in 2003 by the Atlanta Preservation Center as a way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the dramatic rescue of The Fox Theatre, an event that changed Atlanta's preservation outlook forever. Whether it is a cemetery or a firehouse, historic sites in Atlanta inspire with their valuable stories. This year's events include house tours, walking tours, storytelling and more. Why call it the "Phoenix"? The phoenix is the mythical bird that consumed itself by fire and rose renewed from the ashes, as Atlanta did after the Civil War. It has been a symbol of the City of Atlanta and featured on the City seal since 1887. Tours feature The Fox Theatre, Rhodes Hall, Piedmont Park, LP Grant Mansion, Castleberry Hill, Oakland Cemetery and more. There are also tours specific to certain interests, including walking tours, bicycle tours, exhibits, interactive children's activities, and visual and performing art. For 2014, new sites include Capitol City Club, The Glenn Hotel and Sweet Auburn Curb Market.
A list of select tours can be found here and a full schedule can be found online

"This festival is a celebration of the best ski films ever made. There are many different kinds of ski films so a real variety were nominated and became chosen for many different reasons. Some were innovative or influential leading the way, others captured people, events or times. But together I think they are our sport's essentials and this week's festival offers a rare moment to see them as they should be seen, on a big screen. It is interesting that all these were made on film, no video production was selected. Anyone who comes to the awards ceremony Tuesday will see a glimpse of each film, and hear from the filmmakers. From celebrating our sport's storied past we gain the perspective to view its future." Ric Moulton, chairman Film Institute Steering Committee, explained.

Tempe quarterback Emanuel Gant, threw for five touchdowns and ran for another Friday to help the Buffaloes defeat visiting Arcadia, 49-39 in a Division III football shootout.
Tempe's win sets up a matchup against surging Seton Catholic (Div. IV) next Friday at Tempe High School.
In a game that saw the two teams racked up a combined 1,188 yards of offense, Tempe was able to outlast the Knights behind Gant's 493 yards on 32 of 42 passing.
The Buffaloes took an 8-point lead into halftime and had an answer every time Arcadia tried to close the gap.
The Knights rushed 44 times for 305 yards and even got as close as three points late in the fourth quarter, but three costly interceptions prevented them from ever taking the lead as Tempe scored a rushing touchdown late to put the game away.
The win improved the Buffaloes record to 6-2 overall. The loss dropped Arcadia to 3-5.
Horizon 63, Camelback 13: Dalton Sneed helped the Huskies improve to 7-1 on the season by going 10-of-16 passing for 142 yards and four touchdowns. Horizon trailed 7-3 after the first quarter, but went on to outscore visiting Camelback 39-0 in the second quarter to take a 42-7 lead into the half. Shane Kortas scored a touchdown on a 23-yard pass, 54-yard run and 55-yard punt return for Huskies, while their defense recorded two safeties and a 98-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Luke Quinn. Teammate Ryan Neel returned a kickoff 90 yards for a score.
Desert Mountain 43, Willow Canyon 21: Led by Greg Frasko's 13 tackles, the Wolves' defense forced three turnovers and running back Daniel Fedorka did the rest, finishing the game with 149 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries. Joe Duran did a little bit of everything for visiting Desert Mountain (7-1), as he rushed for 50 yards and a touchdown while catching four balls for 48 yards and another score. Desert Mountain won despite QB Kyle Allen sitting out much of the season half with an apparent back injury, as the Wolves and Pinnacle will meet in a big NE Valley matchup next week.
Queen Creek 36, Poston Butte 3: Bulldogs running back, Matt Guida, carried his team to victory, rushing 13 times for 154 of Queen Creek's 282 yards, plus two scores. The two touchdowns gave Guida 21 on the year, and kept the Bulldogs (8-0) undefeated in Div. III. Poston Butte dropped to 4-4 overall.
Scottsdale Prep 61, Rancho Solano 13: Nick Smith threw seven touchdown passes including four to Matt Munsil and two to Greyson Boyll as the Spartans (8-0) won easily on the road. Smith scored rushing the ball, as well, collecting 44 yards rushing on eight carries. Munsil caught 10 balls for 200 yards, and was just as impressive on defense with 10 tackles, one sack and one interception. Boyll had 108 yards receiving on four receptions and rushed nine time for 84 yards and a score.
Saguaro 63, Coronado 0: The Sabercats (6-2) ran away with this one, rushing 29 times for 441 yards, while the Dons (3-5) were held to 56 yards rushing as a team. Host Saguaro jumped out to an early 14-0 lead in the first quarter and never let up.
Chaparral 55, Shadow Mountain 7: Emerson Carrethers rushed for 139 yards on only five carries and two touchdowns, while Jake Roh had three total touchdowns in the Firebirds' (5-3) easy victory. It was Chaparral's fourth win in a row. Sean Paul Brophy and Brad Schencker combined to go 11-of-14 passing for 128 yards, three touchdowns and one turnover.
Campo Verde 38, Florence 13: Coyotes' quarterbacks Luke Pineda and Brandon Turner combined to throw for five touchdowns in Campo Verde's road win. Pineda had scoring throws of 19 and 40 yards, while Turner tossed TDs of the 12, 4 and 10 yards, respectively. The Gophers (3-5) led 7-3 early in the first quarter before the Coyotes (6-2) scored 28 unanswered points to pull away.
Scottsdale Christian 34, Phoenix Christian 14: Chaz Dudley had five receptions for 162 yards and two touchdowns, as well as nine rushes for 39 yards to lead the Eagles(6-1) to a win on the road. Quarterback Luke O' Neill threw for 262 yards and two touchdowns on 11-of 19 passing.
Valley Christian 39, Combs 27: Cory Kasperson and Ty Corbin rushed for 118 yards and 129 yards, respectively, as the Trojans amassed nearly 500 yards versus the visiting Coyotes (1-7). The win improved Valley Christian's record to 4-4 overall.

It's strange to say a game with more than 100 total points turned on a defensive play.
But that one stop in the fourth quarter was enough for visiting (Division III No. 8) Sunrise Mountain to bring home a 57-47 win back from (No. 10) Phoenix Paradise Valley Friday night.
Holding on to a 50-47 lead with 2:30 remaining, the Mustangs forced prolific quarterback Ryan Finley to rush a screen pass to junior Carl Westlund, who turned his body around but could only pop the ball in the air. Senior defensive end Johnthan Salari tracked the batted pass and made a diving interception at the Mustangs' 19.
"I saw that their tackle went off, so I bounced off him. Their quarterback turned right away so I reached up my hand as high as I could and tipped that," Salari said. "I turned around, he missed the catch and caught it just before it hit the ground."
From there, junior tailback Elijah Castro ripped off runs of 47, 19 and 18 yards to give Sunrise Mountain (7-1) some breathing room. The last dash, on which he spun off tackles and lunged into the end zone put the visitors up 10 with 1:23 left.
"Our offensive line is great kids on and off the field. We went in at halftime and asked them what they felt like we should do," Castro said. "We did what they wanted and they opened some big holes. I couldn't do anything without them."
However Finley, who passed for four touchdowns and ran in two more, was not done. He drove Paradise Valley (5-3) down to the 7 in 50 seconds before Castro picked off his throw into tight coverage near the goal line.
"It was down to the end and they could have scored and onside kicked it. They can score in one second," Sunrise Mountain coach James Carter said. "That quarterback is awesome and their receivers are fundamentally sound. They catch balls and run good routes."
The teams combined for 101 points in their 2011 meeting a 52-49 Mustangs win and returned most of their playmakers. But the expected shootout was slow to materialize.
The squads were tied at seven after a quarter. Paradise Valley crossed up the Mustangs with eight first-quarter runs by sophomore Bailey Thompson.
On their second drive, the Trojans mixed in their lethal short-range passing game. Finley found his favorite target, senior Joey Gatewood, running along the back of the end zone for a five-yard touchdown.
Sunrise Mountain was prepared for the directional kickoff, moving up Castro and junior speedster Nick Haleman to the second row of the return team. The change paid off as Haleman fielded the pooch kick at the 26 and dashed 74 yards to tie the game.
Two Sunrise Mountain fumbles inside their own 25 sparked the Trojans' 24-point second quarter. Quarterback Neiman Sneed coughed it up at the 24 and Finley hit junior Trent Gavelek for a 10-yard scoring toss soon after.
Sneed rebounded with a weaving 30-yard run to set up junior Corey Brown's bullish 3-yard touchdown on fourth down.
The Trojans regained the lead in less than three minutes on Finley's scramble from the 11, though a missed extra point left it at 20-14. Then both teams cranked up their offenses, combining for three touchdowns in the final two minutes.
Castro dropped a handoff at the 23. Westlund scored from three yards out on a fly sweep to make it 27-14.
"We beat ourselves in the first half with turnovers and giving up short fields," Carter said. "Donnie Yantis is a great coach and he has a great staff. We knew it was going to be a shootout. He's got a great quarterback and a great team and I'm sure we'll see them again in the playoffs."
The Trojans countered by forgetting to cover one of the state's most dangerous wideouts. Sneed gunned it to senior Elroy Masters at the Trojans' 40 and no defended was withing 10 yards. Masters cut back across the field and completed the 78-yard touchdown pass.
However, the quick score left Finley with 1:29 to operate. He completed four passes to bring the home team inches away. Senior Devon Graffis was stopped at the 1 and Paradise Valley called a time out with two seconds left.
Going for broke on fourth down, Finley connected with a sliding Gatewood and secured a 34-21 halftime lead.
The advantage lasted another 12 seconds of game time, as Castro returned the second half kickoff 89 yards to score.
"I think the opening kickoff for the touchdown was huge," Paradise Valley coach Donnie Yantis said. "I told these kids before we walked out of the locker room that this kickoff was probably the most important kickoff of the year. It gave them life."
Paradise Valley stalled, but Finley's punt forced the Mustangs to start at their two. Sunrise Mountain responded with a 12-play drive to take the lead, capped by Sneed's eight-yard dash into the end zone.
Two minutes later, the home team again was riding the crest of momentum. Finley regained the lead on a seven-yard run.
Then, the Trojans won the scrum for an onside kick. On the next play, Finley threw a bubble screen to junior Jordan Brown, who took off down the sidelines for 40 yards and a touchdown.
Suddenly down 47-35, the Mustangs answered back equally fast. Corey Brown went off tackle on the next play from scrimmage and breezed 65 yards to the end zone.
"Our offensive line is getting better every week. They're big, they block well and that's why our skill kids are successful," Carter said.
The defense finally responded, stuffing Finley on a fourth and five attempt from the Trojans' 45.
On third and goal, Sneed set up a middle screen to Castro, who scooted 10 yards to give Sunrise Mountain the lead. Then he caught Sneed's two-point conversion pass and stretched the ball over then plane for a 50-47 lead.
"We couldn't focus about what (their offense) was doing so much," Sneed said. "It's nerve-wracking when we get in games like this, but we did what we do."
The Mustangs would seal the game with their two late interceptions, rebounding after Boise State-bound Finley carved up their defense for 45 minutes.
The senior completed 31 of 48 passes for 365 yards and four touchdowns, and added 36 rushing yards and two scores. Gatewood made a remarkable 17 catches for 199 yards, while Brown added seven receptions for 120 yards.
Sunrise Mountain split its offensive duties among it's four primary playmakers.
Dual-threat Sneed completed 12 of 16 throws for 190 yards and rushed for 70 yards on 18 carries. Masters snagged seven passed for 155 yards.
Shifty Castro finished with 102 yards on 11 carries, while power back Brown added 99 on nine totes.
The win sets up a showdown next week for the Mustangs against district rival and No. 7 Cactus (6-2), led by Carter's mentor Larry Fetkenhier.
"This is a huge win for us, our staff, the kids and the community. It's good for the kids that have been at Sunrise for the last 10 years," Carter said. "We'll enjoy it tonight and be back to work tomorrow. Coach Fetkenhier is a great coach and we'll have our work cut out for us."
Paradise Valley wraps its home schedule against Cactus Shadows next week. Should the Trojans win out, their passing attack can give even the best Division III defenses fits.
"I told the kids losses like this sometimes bring out a man's true character. You can pout, put your head down and make excuses or you can look your men in the eye and say 'We made these mistakes and we're going to get better,'" Yantis said. "We'll get better. The sun will rise tomorrow and we'll get to work on Cactus Shadows in the morning."

I always enjoyed reading articles from Jason Garcia regarding Disney, last few years while pleasant reads they kinda read like they were straight form TDO press release. The old Jason Garcia, kinda comes back to a harder hitting journalist with this article. I'm liking his return to this style of writing.
Disney World can use MyMagic+ to develop personalized sales pitches - Page 2 - Orlando Sentinel
blahhh....it seems to be glitchy while loading.
With MyMagic+, Mickey will watch where you go, what you do
October 5, 2013|By Jason Garcia, Orlando Sentinel
Such sales pitches will eventually extend even beyond the parks. Disney's systems could reveal that a family had selected Ariel as a daughter's favorite character and that the family rode Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid multiple times while visiting the Magic Kingdom — which might prompt Disney to email the family coupons for Ariel merchandise.
The concept makes some theme-park fans uncomfortable.
"Disney's ability to do this — and do it in a way that doesn't jeopardize the information of guests — isn't something I'm entirely confident about," said Ingram Connor, a 25-year-old accounting clerk from Casselberry who visits Disney World about twice a month. "Will Chevrolet know I was hanging around the Corvette in the Test Track post-show 66 percent longer than the average guest does?"
Aware that many consumers have privacy concerns, Disney says it designed MyMagic+ to be optional. Visitors could choose to forgo MagicBands entirely, in favor of RFID-equipped cards that do not interact with the long-range readers.
Disney says it will use the data in MyMagic+ for marketing only if guests agree to it. Likewise, it says it won't sharethe information with other companies unless guests sign off first.
"We are fortunate that many of our guests want to communicate and have a relationship with us," Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said. "We are focused on sharing information with guests in a way that respects their relationship and enhances their experience."

-we recently bought one of these vacuum cleaners, and I thought that others might like to know how it works. This is a fairly small canister vacuum. It has a plastic "dirt cup" assembly that is emptied after an hour of cleaning, or more often if necessary. There are no bags to replace, but there are several filters to keep clean, and two of these are pleated paper filters that will need to be replaced eventually. The vacuum is powerful, and is very good for cleaning furniture and bare floors, wood and tile. I was able to get a 5 by 8 carpet clean, but I had to remove the "cleaning nozzle" intended for carpets, and use the steel wand, with no attachments. It took me about 20 minutes to do a 5 by 8 carpet, that had been heavily loaded with dog hair. I don't think this vacuum would work out well for those with wall to wall carpeting, but if you have mostly bare floors, with a few smaller area rugs, you might do OK. There are two foam filter pads that must be periodically rinsed clean, and allowed to dry. Also, the pleated paper filters will need to be removed and shaken out after several hours of use, and eventually they will need to be replaced. The dirt cup assembly is plastic, and can be easily washed in warm soapy water, rinsed clean, and allowed to dry. If the filters are kept clean, the vacuum will maintain suction, and it should continue to clean well. It is true that there are no bags to replace, but cleaning the filters is a periodic chore, so this vacuum will require some DIY maintenance to keep it operating well. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't have one. I have tried a couple of other brands and always come back to Hoovers. They have never let me down. |
We have had the Bissell OptiClean for a month now, so I will post some additional comments. I sent away to Bissell for an extra dust cup and also the two filters it carries. This allows me to vacuum for about an hour. When the first dust cup fills up, it can be popped out in seconds, and the clean dust cup is inserted. The dust cups are both emptied at the same time, and the filters are removed. The foam filter can be cleaned by washing in warm water & detergent, and allowed to dry. The pleated paper filter can be vacuumed clean, with a shop-vac or something similar, and this will extend the life of the filter. I don't know how long the pleated paper filters will last, and this is significant, because they cost around 10 dollars each. We have a carpeted hallway, and I was able to get this area clean by using a stool, which I sat on, and vacuuming the carpet with a small nozzle, by hand. I think it took about 20 minutes, where it might have taken 5 minutes to do the same area with an upright vacuum. However, the carpet got really clean, so it may be that the Bissell OptiClean is doing a better job. It sure picks up a lot of dirt. |
It sounds complicated. I cleaned so many carpets being a land lord for 20 years, I hire mine done now. LOL |
well bissel are not that great brand in the first place. if you want a sodil poweful vac, go for hoover or dyson (preferably hoover) |

My work uses gravity, mass, heat and time to shape glass vessels in the kiln. The forms are intricately constructed with glass powders, designed to react with changing light. This year Im celebrating Voyager I & II currently heading into Interstellar space, now the furthest travelled human made objects. I present work that is a developing collection of research into the handmade objects relevance in the digital age and our journey into the unknown.
We have collected objects ever since we have had somewhere to put things; Im interested in our emotional responses to contemporary objects and the connection we build with inanimate items. The starting point to all my work is that connection, either with an emotion, colour, written word or music and from there I will investigate how others have looked at the same notion, making a visual representation of my research and reactions, often leading to more questions.

'Pachiko', Forgotten Brother of Legendary 'Hachiko'
Monday, August 31st, 2009Pachikō, Busan, 1931
Almost any Japanese person can recount the story of chūken Hachikō, (忠犬ハチ公, "faithful dog Hachikō",) Japan's most beloved dog and national symbol of loyalty, honored for returning everyday to Shibuya's bustling train station to wait for his master's return, even long after his death. Few, if any, know of or are willing to acknowledge the pup's miscreant sibling, taida na Pachikō. (怠惰なパチ公, "slothful dog Pachikō.")
Born in November of 1923, "Hachi" and "Pachi" were two pups from a litter of seven, born on a farm near the city of Ōdate, Akita Prefecture. Their owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo, adopted the pair and brought them back to Tokyo, naming them after the Japanese word "hachi-pachi," used to describe the sound of popping bubble wrap, a new and popular pastime in 1920′s Japan.
As pups, the dogs were identical, but as they aged, Pachiko grew dark distinguishing eyebrows, that according to historians, later inspired Japan's bushy eyebrow craze that has yet to come out of vogue to this day. With his distinguished eyebrows, Pachiko soon gained the favor of Professor Ueno as the more clever of the pair, who later remarked in a letter to his wife, regarding all night vigils at the station by the less adroit Hachiko while the professor was away on lecture tours, "You must be kidding! That silly dog Hachiko waits overnight for me at the station?"
During most days however, while the professor was lecturing his students at nearby Tokyo University, the two dogs, though siblings, would often spend their time separately in Shibuya. Hachiko was said to have played fetch with the owners of the near by Yakitori shops of Nombeyokocho, befriended the homeless living the adjacent Miyashita Park, and occasionally helped the police track owners of missing wallets. Pachiko contrarily, would meander the the red light districts of Dogenzaka, where patrons of the many bars would frequently put cups of sake for the dog to lap up, as well as still-lit cigars, that the dog would seemingly smoke as he chewed upon them, before stumbling off to pass out drunk in the gutter on a mid afternoon binge. After sunset, the two brothers would meet at the station, Pachiko tipsy and late, Hachiko scornful, yet always sympathetic. It should be noted that so strong was Hachiko's loyalty, even to his own delinquent brother, that he never mentioned Pachiko's tumultuous escapades to their master, Ueno.
The brothers continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return on the usual train one evening. The professor had suffered a stroke at the university that day. He died and never returned to the train station again. Hachiko loyally waited all night long, and for every following day of the next 10 years, for his dead master's return. Pachiko was said to have waited for just a mere 10 minutes before staggering back to Dogenzaka for more sake, never to return for his master again.
Within several months, both dogs were eventually found new homes, Hachiko to middle-class family of four in a neighborhood adjacent to Shibuya, Pachiko to a Korean traveling circus visiting Tokyo at the time. In August of 1926, while touring Japanese countryside with the circus, as "Oji-inu", the "Amazing Cigar-Smoking, Gambling, Womanzing Dog Drunkard", Pachiko had gained such notoriety, that he became a national fixture in homes as Japanese flocked to decorate their walls with prints from Cassius Marcellus Coolidge's "Dogs Playing Poker" series, which were directly inspired by dog.
It was only after Pachiko's short and illicit love affair with Prime Minister Kato Takaaki's beloved Shiba Inu, "Lady" which resulted not only in an illegitimate litter of eleven, but also the Prime Misinster's subsequent heart attack and sudden death, that the public fell as quickly out of love with Pachi as they fell in love with him. Soon after the scandal, he boarded a tramp stream liner back to the port city of Busan with the circus, where he spent out his living days.
While Japanese could never forget Hachikō, who waited faithfully each day at Shibuya Station for Professor Ueno's return, for Pachiko, much remains swept under the Japanese tatami of shame. But not all is forgotten, for every time a sake is slurped, a cigarette is smoked, and a little silver metal ball is dropped into the pin-ball-fortune machines of Japan's most famous pastime, Pachinko, little do they do know, or how quick they have forgotten, that the once legendary "Oji-Inu", Pachiko, after which the game is named, is honored…
But that's another story…

Bell peppers and chili peppers both are produce favorites with fan bases that are expanding every year.
Bell peppers rank as the fifth most popular vegetable, according to The Packer's Fresh Trends 2012. And they ranked as the No. 3 item that consumers buy now that they did not buy previously.
Pamela RiemenschneiderFresh Trends says 67% of shoppers purchased bell peppers and more than 25% purchased chilies within the past 12 months. The likelihood of a specialty pepper purchase increased 10 percentage points over the previous year.
Colors abound
Most retailers offer green, red, yellow and orange bell peppers, but the lower-priced green variety generally is the best-seller.
Green and colored varieties both are popular at the more than 150 Tyler, Texas-based Brookshire Food Stores locations, says Keith Durham, category manager of fresh.
Green peppers are consistent sellers, but many shoppers prefer the perfect-looking colored ones that are grown in hothouses.
Brookshire sells packaged baby green and colored peppers, but those sales pale in comparison with bulk.
The chain features bell peppers on ad once or twice a month, with green ones priced at 2 for $1 compared with a regular price of 99 cents each. Colored bell peppers typically are priced at 10 for $10 on sale, compared with 3 for $4 regularly.
When they're on ad, Durham merchandises peppers on end caps. Otherwise, they're allotted 2 or 3 feet on a continental rack.
Durham says he often displays green and colored bell peppers together, even though they have different price points. He sometimes promotes peppers with yellow onions, cucumbers and squash.
Four-packs popular
A trend toward four-packs is growing at Angeli Foods Co., a group of three stores based in Iron River, Mich., says Gary Simonson, produce manager for one location.
The company sells bulk peppers and four-packs of colored peppers — usually two red, one yellow and one orange.
"The four-packs have really taken off," Simonson says.
A year ago, 75% of Angeli's pepper sales were bulk. Now they're split about 50-50 between bulk and packaged product.
There's less shrink with packaged peppers than with bulk, he says. They're also easier to stack without damaging the product.

R&R, a midlife career change, sabbatical, and a long getaway are all buzz words which boil down to waiting for an unforeseen future, to do what you've always hoped to do - "one day." Traveling and sightseeing seem to be one of the most longed for pursuits, unfortunately slightly behind those regular power-packed shopping excursions.
Off they go, directly after Sunday church services, to Wal-Mart or the mall, with the whole bunch: a mother-in-law, her kids, his kids, a distant cousin, the guy next door, and the family pooch, noisily protecting his territory from smudged van windows.
The least likely possibility for fulfilling a late-life dream could be as bizarre as a trip to outer space, but who knows? Maybe some day! This story, from "The Little Brown Book of Anecdotes," strikes me with the ironic awareness that there exist human destinations as diverse as land and sky:
"Photographer Yousuf Karsh and his wife were having lunch with astronaut Neil Armstrong after a photo session. Armstrong politely questioned the couple about the many different countries they had visited. 'But, Mr. Armstrong,' protested Mrs. Karsh, 'you've walked on the moon. We want to hear about your travels.'
'But, that's the only place I've ever been,' replied Armstrong apologetically." That would be quite an act to follow, the moonwalk. Who envied the other most? It's what you come away with, from each consecutive episode, which forms stepping stones to destiny. If you aren't aware of the impact yet, then you likely weren't paying attention.
If you go around hating yourself for growing old, you'll miss the ride of a lifetime. Emerson once wrote, "Traveling is a fool's paradise...I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the stern fact, the sad self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from."
That quote could be a reflection of the last journey and final destination (pleasant or not) of those who live long and hard. At that point, what will stand out in memory will be the people we've known, family experiences, places we've been (the sights and sensations), outrageous good times, and, for some, a wealth of wisdom.
It's been said that, as earthly existence dwindles, it won't be the recollections of all the hard work we've done and the labors and careers abandoned due to deteriorating health. No one laments, "I wish I'd have spent more time working." NOT!
We often hear people complain that retirement isn't what it's cracked up to be...but then there arises all of these other things to do, places to visit, a slowed pace you come to appreciate and enjoy. Those "ifs" and "buts" only test our faith and feed our spunk and vinegar. Preconceived expectations may turn out to be all wet...so what? There's always Plan B.
Lillian Smith takes living to heart, "I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within." Volunteer work can smooth the brow and light the way for both givers and receivers.
The gift of character is given to those who humbly reach out and give while out of sight from the public eye. "We are here on earth to do good to others," advises Auden. "What the others are here for, I don't know."
"Where are you going?" you ask yourself, melding with long, silent shadows of a brilliant twilight. "I'm already there," you whisper.
Carpe diem.
