Sanatized 120 Bottles Review by Lake Rat
(Posted on 3/20/14)
Product Rating:
Learning from the comments in other reviews, I added a 3/4 inch copper coupler to support the spring before using for the first time and the unit worked great.
Awesome product, but sort of flimsy Review by McLovinBeast57
(Posted on 3/10/14)
I liked this product a lot! It helped me sanitize all my bottles way faster than it normally takes. The only problem is I feel like I'm going to break it every time I use it and it's put together rather poorly. So far, though, it's worked great!
Good tool Review by Dave
(Posted on 3/5/14)
I use my bottle rinser for cleaning and washing with Star San. it has a deep basin that is very helpful when using Star San.
Sanitize 50 bottles in half teh time Review by Huber
(Posted on 2/15/14)
It saves me a lot of time. 2 squirts and place it on the drying tree. I can get through 50 bottles in less than half the time it used to take without it.
Huge speed up in sanitizing Review by Dan
(Posted on 2/1/14)
I've been using this for 4 years and its cleaned thousands of bottles without a problem or showing signs of wear. Sure beats dipping bottle after bottle in a bucket.
Great idea, but poor quality Review by Dan
(Posted on 1/20/14)
When this thing works its fantastic. Bottling with one is so much easier. The problem is that the plastic is relatively brittle and fragile. If you screw it on too tight or if you press too hard it can break at the threads. there's not really any way to repair this either. So that was really disappointing.
I love this thing. Review by Owen
(Posted on 1/15/14)
If you're purchasing, or already own, the bottle tree that goes with this little guy, I can't recommend it enough. Like other reviewers I cut the spring down by a loop, taking this apart and reassembling it is very easy. This is the easiest method of sanitizing I've tried yet. I'd suggest using the liquid sanitizer over the powerdered in this situation, I find it sprays better.
Makes it easy to sanitize bottles Review by Huber
(Posted on 1/1/14)
It takes 2 seconds a bottle, just squirt and put them in a fast rack to dry. I've had no problems with it over a 3 year period.
Good product, never had problems Review by yeastieboysbrewing
(Posted on 12/26/13)
I've had one of these for the two years I've been brewing. Although I switched to kegging a couple of months ago (and now use it very little), I used it for plenty of batches previously to sanitize my bottles. This little device saved me a ton of sanitizer and always worked flawlessly. I always rinsed it out before storing it between batches since I wasn't sure how the StarSan would treat the plastic and spring mechanism in the long run. Overall this is a great product.
The best way to sanitize bottles Review by Sean
(Posted on 11/14/13)
This sure beats dunking bottles in sanitizer. It blasts in a jet of sanitizer and reaches all parts of the bottle. Its easy to use and there is nothing to go wrong.

With a near-complete record of life at home over the first two years of my son's life, we were able to pinpoint each time he learned to say a new word. We could then trace back in time to find each occasion where he heard that word from caregivers -- the "gestation" period leading to the word's birth.
During the times I was alone with the baby and the toddler was at preschool, I treasured the moments of quiet, relishing in the child that could not yet talk. As Phyllis Diller so eloquently put: "We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up."

The proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal has drawn heavy criticism. Over 500 labor, environmental and farm groups oppose granting the White House "fast track" authority to speed the pact through Congress. The deal, still being negotiated in secret, has spawned protests around the world. Even some Democrats are pushing back against the White House.
But there's one thing that TPP hasn't generated: news.
Critics say TPP will enshrine corporate control of decisions previously subject to democratic processes--decisions over intellectual property, the environment, labor rights, food, telecommunications, finance and more.
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) has called it "the largest corporate power grab you never heard of." He's right. Over 14 months--from January 2013 through February 2014--TPP was never covered in any detail by ABC, CBS or NBC.
It was mentioned once on NBC's Meet the Press (2/23/14), where conservative David Brooks listed a "fast track trade deal across the Atlantic, across the Pacific" as one one several "gigantic, very good policies where there is majority support." On CBS's Face the Nation (2/2/14), White House chief of staff Denis McDonough touted it as a big job creator.
But that's it.
It's time to let the news networks know that a big, secret trade deal that has mobilized thousands of activists is a story that needs to be covered.
Sign FAIR's petition now. Tell ABC, CBS and NBC that the Trans Pacific Partnership--and the opposition to it--should be news.

La Floridita Pancho Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 10 of 17 reviews
"Good deal"
I ve smoked dozens of these bundles over the years and found them pretty consistent and pretty good... often times quite excellent. I should mention that I normally smoke the PANCHO size with the NATURAL wrapper. The maduro is not so great in my opinion. I ve also smoked the Belicoso and Corona, finding them equal to the Pancho. The Presidente wasn t so great. I ve also noticed they seem to be a little better after sitting in a humidor for a month or two. All in all this is an enjoyable cheap smoke that s worth the price especially if you can get them on sale .
Jake the Muss in Cleveland, OH July 24, 2014
"An overall good stick"
Smoked a couple and then got a bundle. Lit one up the day of delivery and smoked it to the delicious finish.
Mr. Blues in Central MN December 9, 2013
"Love these naturals"
Granted, these have been aging in my humidor for a few months - the burn was smooth, the aroma is exquisite. My favorite La Floridita!
Sisyphus in Gloucester, MA June 24, 2013
"Made me want to vomit."
When I first unwrapped this cigar, I smelt it and already knew I wasn't going to enjoy it. It smelt like an old sock that you left under your bed for a year. After lightin it up, I took two or three puffs and threw that sucker in the street. I honestly couldn't take the disgusting flavor. It hit nice the cap fell apart easy. DO NOT BUY!
Mark in Boston, Massachusetts July 7, 2012
"Just okay."
Not very impressive. Draw was too loose, burn was uneven. Taste was of leather and some chocolate but rather harsh.
Brian in Honolulu, HI January 26, 2011
"Great for the price"
I enjoyed this cigar. It is not too strong not too soft.
GHF in VA June 21, 2010
"worst in awhile"
I know some people like them and maybe i got a bad one in my economy sampler, but it was not a good experience. Burn was like one big streak. Taste was like burnt leather.
steve in delaware March 1, 2010
"I'm very surprised by these negative reviews."
I find the Pancho Natural to be a consistently good tasting cigar. Yes, the one negative is its uneven burn--it never tunnels on me, though. It's a trade-off: the wrapper is thick and flavorful, so I think it retains a lot of moisture--causing the uneven burn. I wish more people would say if they are referring to the Maduro or the Natural. I like them right out of the package--no aging necessary.
Jerry in Connecticut October 24, 2008
"Inconsistently BAD TO WORSE!!"
Bought these thinking that it's time to try something new. BIG MISTAKE!! Tried one when I received the bundle, I may have been smoking paper. Set in the humidor for a month, not much better. Less harshness, but overall still bad. I will throw these out.
ijj0bom in Clearwater June 19, 2008
"Consistently good/tasty"
I also got the 2fer deal. The flavor, to me, is a less refined (more IN YOUR FACE!) version of the 2 or 3 Plascencia Organicas I have received in samplers. It is certainly full-flavored--but not harsh. I love the Natural wrappers--luscious, silky feel and taste. I compare these to the Fam. Nic. 3000, and I like the Floriditas better, except that the burn is sometimes uneven. If I could get them at these prices all the time, I would keep a constant supply.

Great Mysteries in the News (or, All Those Terrorists, and No Place to Try Them!)
Sometimes, when I read the news, I come across a story that asks a question so puzzling that I am, well, puzzled. Take this one, for instance.
"White House orders Justice Department to look for other places to hold 9/11 terror trial"
The White House ordered the Justice Department on Thursday night to consider other places to try the 9/11 terror suspects after a wave of opposition to holding the trial in lower Manhattan.
The dramatic turnabout came hours after Mayor Bloomberg said he would "prefer that they did it elsewhere" and then spoke to Attorney General Eric Holder.
Hmm…surely there's another place they could try enemy combatants, but where? This mystery may require both the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew to solve!
"It would be an inconvenience at the least, and probably that's too mild a word for people that live in the neighborhood and businesses in the neighborhood," Bloomberg told reporters.
"There are places that would be less expensive for the taxpayers and less disruptive for New York City."
Goodness, yes! Not to mention safer for the good citizens of New York City. But where? Forget Nancy and the Boys, this may require the brainpower of Jupiter Jones and his Three Investigators to figure out! Wait, not them.
I know! Let's ask Chuck Schumer to put his mighty cranium to work on it.
Sen. Chuck Schumer said he was "pleased" by the decision and said the White House also told him Thursday night it backs a possible move.
Earlier in the day, Schumer spoke "with high-level members of the administration and urged them to find alternatives," said the senator's spokesman, Josh Vlasto.
Gosh, he wasn't any help. It's almost like he just showed up to do some posturing to get his name in the news, then disappeared without contributing a single useful idea. But we know better. Chuck Schumer is a smart guy, and decent, and kind — he tells us so all the time! He wouldn't leave his good buddy Barack in such a befuddled predicament.
I'm sure we can help. We're Americans. We can figure out anything. Let's try some brainstorming. We want a location that's not in the middle of a major metropolis packed full of innocent American civilians since those places are like candy to the Islamist murderers. It'd be nice if the venue came with its own security force, trained to handle high-value detainees, already in place. Oh, and it should be a fairly isolated location, so that if any Islamist sheep-lovers decided to try anything funny, we'd be able to see them coming long before they got there.
Ooh. That last one's a toughie. It'd be pretty awesome if this location, seemingly as mythical as Shangri-La itself, were someplace we already controlled, yet not actually on American soil.
Nope. I'm stumped. Darn that ignorant chimp George Bush for sitting on his cowboy backside for eight years and not bothering to do any homework on this! Now we have all these Islamists locked up safe as houses at Guantanamo Bay but we don't have a single, secure, isolated place to try them…
Wait…you think maybe…?
Naaaaaah. It's too easy.

Egg, Ham, & Spinach Muffin Recipe
I'm making every effort to cut back on carbs whenever possible. I found these mini-egg muffins easy to make a head of time. Each morning, I just pop a couple in the microwave for about 45 seconds and add some fresh fruit on the side.
Servings: 24
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
2 cups Kroger Break-Free Real Egg Product or about 6 large eggs
8 pieces ham
10-15 fresh spinach leaves with the stem removed; chopped finely
1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2-3 finely chopped roasted red pepper
1 1/2 cup shredded cheese
1 tbsp of tabasco (optional)
pepper to taste
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Put eggs in large bowl add in Tabasco and pepper and scramble with fork
3. Add in other ingredients (except cheese) and stir until mixed evenly
4. Pour into mini-muffin tin till each cup is almost full
5. Place shredded cheese on top of each cup
6. Cook for 15-20 minutes until cooked through. I always test with a toothpick. If the inside isn't quite done, but the top is getting too brown, I place a piece of foil loosely over top to prevent cheese from burning.
7. Let cool for a few minutes. (Rounded dome tops may 'deflate' some in the cooling process.)
2 Responses to Egg, Ham, & Spinach Muffin Recipe
What happens after step 5? I'm thinking we need to cook them
Looks delicious!

More from House Beautiful
Recipe: Cheese-Gilded Linguine with Smoky Tomatoes
Serves 4 as a main dish
15 minutes prep time
20 minutes stove time
Sauce can be made 1 hour before serving.
5 quarts salted water in a 6-quart pot
Good-tasting extra-virgin olive oil
6 thick slices bacon, sliced into 1/4-inch-wide sticks
1 medium to large onion, chopped into 1/4-inch dice
Salt and fresh-ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
5 large garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2-3 pounds delicious ripe tomatoes, cored and fine chopped (do not peel or seed), or one 28-ounce can whole tomatoes with their liquid, plus one 14-ounce can, drained
1 pound imported linguine
1 generous cup fresh-grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for the table
1. Bring the salted water to a boil.
2. Lightly film a straight-sided 12-inch sauté pan with oil, add the bacon, and set over medium-high heat. Sauté until the bacon is golden. Remove it with a slotted spoon, setting it on paper towels to drain. Pour off all but about 3 tablespoons fat from the pan.
3. Return the pan to the heat, stirring in the onions, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to medium. Sauté the onions until they soften and start to color, 5 to 8 minutes.
4. Blend in the garlic, cooking for 1 minute, then add the tomatoes. If using canned ones, crush them as they go into the pan. Blend in the cooked bacon. Bring the sauce to a lively bubble and cook until it is thick, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir the sauce to keep it from sticking. Remove from the heat, taste for seasoning, and cover the pan. The sauce can wait on the stovetop up to an hour. Bring it to a bubble before adding to the pasta.
5. Drop the pasta in the boiling water, cook until tender but still a little firm to the bite, drain, and turn it into a serving bowl. Toss with the 1 cup of cheese until it clings to the noodles, then toss with the sauce. Serve hot with additional cheese at the table if desired.
Related recipe: Spaghetti alla Gricia: Before the tomato took over the Italian kitchen, this pasta was made in the hills of the Abruzzo and Lazio regions. Instead of the bacon, use 1/2 pound guanciale (cured pork jowl), pancetta, or ideally, smoked pancetta. Cook as directed, adding the garlic, salt, a lot of black pepper, and a bit more red pepper flakes. Eliminate the onion and tomatoes. Just before draining the pasta, scoop out 1/2 cup of the pasta water and add it to the sauté pan. Drain the noodles, and add them to the sauté pan. Toss over medium-high heat for 30 seconds. Blend in a generous amount of grated Pecorino Romano. The pasta should taste peppery, with a good shot of hot pepper.
Penelope Cooks the Linguine
Knowing that the children three non-omnivores, all under 12, who'd gathered at our house one Saturday night would shun the chicken salad, I made this linguine for them, and they scarfed it up happily. The adults partook as well, and we all decided that when I make this again, I'd want to tweak the recipe by using half as much bacon and twice as much red pepper flakes: it wanted a bit less of a bacon taste, and a lot more heat. Of course, then the children wouldn't eat it.

Speaking of teleports, set up a few cheap wards. They make great invisible teleport targets if your team doesn't have a teemo.
Junior Member
Also after this patch, wards will see twice as far. So yeah. Pro-tip: always read the patch notes. Many things change. ( <- this is incorrect ) EDIT: Whoops got that wrong.
With chogaths slow spell the cast reveals a graphic of dust on the ground rumbling. most good players will see this and dodge it. However, with a little practice you can cast this in a way that the entire graphic will be hidden behind the players champion and as long as they don't move they won't even see it comming.
Playing as Yi: Alpha strike is an incredible move. When there are 3 minions left in a push and an enemy hero nearby, alpha strike a minion. The enemy hero WILL be hit no matter what. Dont be afraid to stay in a lane with low hp. You can alpha strike a minion as it dies, and at the end of the move you will appear where YOU were originally standing, not where the minion was standing. Playing as Katarina: Early in the game people like to stay in lanes with low hp while they heal. If you grab flash and shunpo at level 1, you can teleport a MASSIVE distance to them to guarantee the kill. Have your lane partner just keep the other guy busy. In general: -If you queue up with 3 people and your center lane person has teleport, have 3 people go bottom for FB then teleport to the mid. -If you are going for first blood in top or bottom, stand in the corner of bushes closest to the enemy team. They cannot see you untill they walk on top of you. One exhaust/stun/knockup and theyre done at level one. -Never sacrifice yourself for an outer turret. EVER. -Make sure you care just as much about killing enemy players as killing towers. -Don't surrender untill your last two towers are dead. I've won more than 5 games where we had 30 less overall kills because we got a cucial ace at our last two towers, and in 40 seconds destroyed everything they had left. DONT LOSE HOPE! -KEEP READING FORUM TIPS! -play practice games everyday and try new item builds, or to polish your rythym with characters
Tip for Blitz when pushing against heros blitz has quite a bit of hp and a nice passive to help you survive, and a fist that makes towers hurt in only one shot so its easy to see why you would push a tower with heros present but be warned if your ult randomly arcs one of those heros the tower will aggro you and this is never fun, so my tip is to use your ults active on the last wave of creeps before the tower its good gold and it will make sure this doesnt happen to you.
As Gangplank: Use Paaarley to farm early game, not to harass until you have 2 Avarice Blades at least. If it doesn't crit, it wastes mana, but if you kill a minion, you get bonus gold! Always get Remove Scurvy at level 2. It saves lives. If you have the mana, use Raise Morale to deny creeps. Every bit of gold counts! Do not neglect Pirate's ability to auto attack! many people use him ONLY for Paaarrley and they stoke their e-peen when they do 1200 crits every 6 seconds. However, you're wasting his Passive/Active attack speed bonus and potientally lower the usefulness of Remove Scurvy (won't need it if you're in the back lines) Throw a PDancer on Gangplank to make him auto attack viable! Don't deny that your ulti can be used as a Psuedo-Fortify. It pushes backs creeps and gives you significant gold at the same time!

"Wow," I said. A second later, I said in French, "The water, it comes very hard."
Philippe didn't hear me. He asked me to repeat myself.
"The water," I said, "it comes forcefully?"
Philippe still didn't understand, so I tried louder, with my embouchure resembling a puckered "o," per Pierre's instructions—to sound more Parisian. I also gestured by waving my arms, which made one of my cups spill its contents on the floor.
The other cup went down the front of Philippe's suit pants, filling one cuff with a moat.
Philippe stared at me. Incredibly, some water had gotten trapped in his trouser pleats, so when he bent over to look at his shoes, even more water splashed out. For a dramatic conclusion. I didn't know what to do. What could I say? Some part of me decided to make a joke. It was my gut reaction whenever shame fluttered around my head. I stammered in French, "Well, when I come, I guess I come hard, too."
It wasn't until that afternoon when I wrote Rachel an e-mail that I realized what I'd said. Rachel replied, "I think you crossed a line in the workplace that even Parisians respect."
At the end of summer, la morte saison finished and le rentrée commenced, when Parisians came home from their vacations brimming with satisfaction. All my coworkers turned up eight shades nuttier; they tanned splendidly well. Their first day back, I'd watch them step out of the elevator like so many show ponies, glistening brown stallions, frosted bronze mares.
The best French word I found for the most prevalent tone was bistre, same spelling in English: "A brownish-yellowish pigment made from the soot of burned wood."
One lunchtime, an HR woman who was tanned to a Kit Kat told me that, when it came to sunbathing, she preferred the natural look. We were standing on a balcony while she smoked a cigarette—every étage of our building featured balconies overlooking the Champs-Elysées, where people would go to eat lunch or take smoke breaks. Some guys would ogle cleavage below, calling out like mountaineers when they spotted a deep crevasse.
"You see?" the HR woman said, indicating a girl below us on the sidewalk. "Around the eyes, how ugly she seems?"
Proper tanning was less a class issue, she suggested, and more a question of aesthetic commitment. The HR woman pointed out that fake tanning produced a Creamsicle glow. The bone she had to pick, between deep breaths, wasn't whether to tan, but if a person tanned outdoors—in Provence, for a hide of crackling; in Brittany, where the ocean bestowed a speckled salt crust—or applied self-tanner, or spray-tanned, or visited a tanning salon.
The lesson being that fake tanners didn't properly enjoy life.
In the beginning, people were always trying to give me lessons.
The creative department, all we créatifs—copywriters, art directors, graphic designers, illustrators, information architects, video editors, Web-animation mathematicians—sat in clumps. My unit had five desks pushed together, where I was one of two expatriates, me and Tomaso, the Italian, and the rest were French. My art director, Bruno, worked down the hall.
To start, I didn't understand four-fifths of what was said. It was a bitch. But the problem ran both ways, which made it worse. Two neighbors of mine, Julie and Françoise, both Parisiennes, would peer at my lips whenever I spoke in French, then explain they hadn't understood a word I'd said.
Julie was a twentysomething copywriter, wide-eyed and attractive, a romantic poet outside of the office. A poem of hers I found on the Internet was about flowers, the beauty of stars, and how she, any evening, might die in bed.
Julie asked one afternoon, "You said you live on Rue Béranger, is that correct?" She spoke perfect, if slightly formal English. "Béranger was a famous poet, you know," Julie said. "In Madame Bovary, Flaubert made Charles read Béranger so he would seem of his era. Béranger is forgotten now. But that is life."
Many days, Julie's style was low-cut trousers with a visible, high-riding thong. All men in the office were Julie's property to tease. She sang cheerily while she worked, except when her computer crashed, then she cursed—her computer being among the few things that Julie could not bend to her will.
But Julie was very nice. Frequently she helped me translate my electric bill.
Françoise, a graphic designer, sat across from Julie. Like Julie, she found my name ridiculous, all those Rs to roll. When someone said my name in the office, Françoise would parrot it by clearing her throat.
Next to Françoise was Olivier. Olivier was a jovial, bitter art director in his fifties, who'd worked at the agency for twenty-plus years. All day long, Olivier listened to electronica through headphones to scare away project managers should they fancy him to work faster. He was tall, bald, and droll. His laugh went hohoho, and to the rest of the office, Olivier was Father Christmas. Beautiful women—the building was full of them—constantly stopped by to visit and flirt and kiss Olivier's cheeks.
For some reason, Olivier hated me from the start.
Tomaso was a handsome Italian from Venice who loved Paul McCartney and the Police. He had curly black hair and got along with everyone. In addition to French and Italian, Tomaso was fluent in English (he did a good Sting: "Rooooooooxanne") and would help me when I couldn't follow the gossip at our desks. For example, Julie was upset one afternoon, shouting in high-speed French, it having something to do with André and a new account she'd been assigned. I poked Tomaso, whispering, "What did Julie just say?"
"Ah, my poor Rosecrans," Tomaso said loudly. He shook his head. "Julie say you are one sexy motherfucker."
I repeated my question. Tomaso repeated his translation. Julie was fuming, blushing underneath her tan.
"Come, it's a nice thing," Tomaso said, patting my shoulder. "A compliment for a beautiful gentleman. You know, maybe she will sleep with you this evening."

Scroll down for photos from the mock crash IMPAIRED DRIVING SIMULATOR
Realizing a need to more actively involve students, as well as other subjects, in the learning process, the Impaired Driving Simulator was created. The simulator gives drivers hands on experience in the effects of alcohol in regards to impaired driving. The Impaired Driving Simulator is the result of a cooperative effort headed by the Ocean Shores and Montesano Police Departments. Through the community support of Rich Hartman's Five Star Dealerships, Ocean Shores Golf Course and the Grays Harbor County Public Health and Social Services Department this program was created. Traditionally, students and young drivers were lectured on the negative impact of drinking and driving. This lecture format generally had little effect on viewers and was considered by many as simply a waste of time. Technology advances helped to created the Fatal Vision Goggles. Fatal Vision Goggles then became a staple of impaired driving lectures. These goggles simulate the visual impairment caused by alcohol or drugs. Through the use of Fatal Vision Goggles subjects can feel the effects of reaching a blood alcohol level of anywhere between .05 to over .20 without having to take a drink of alcohol. Fatal Vision Goggles have been traditionally used as subjects attempt to pass standard field sobriety and coordination tests. The use of the impaired driving simulator now provides a graphic visual representation as to the loss of driving coordination while intoxicated. Subjects while wearing Fatal Vision Goggles drive an electric golf cart, under the direct supervision of a law enforcement officer. The subject drives on a course marked out in a large parking lot or similar area, away from normal traffic. Initially driving the course without goggles and then again while wearing the Fatal Vision Goggles the dramatic differences can be observed by spectators. It is hoped that through the use of the impaired driving simulator that participants can actually see the effects of drinking and driving and realize the potential consequences. The
simulator has been used in school presentations as well as a county -wide drug
awareness conference directed towards high school students. If

A guest blog and #ShareTheStreets report by Anna Claire, one of our current rock star volunteers!! Re-posted from her blog Go Away Everywhere (23/4/2013).
I became a volunteer for Hollaback! Brussels after I went to the second of their two sessions with the students in my program, sessions organized by our fabulously thoughtful and sensitive coördinator Chloé. Several students in the fall had approached her about incidents of harassment they'd experienced in Brussels and how to cope with it, and she, having heard of Hollaback, went to then four (now six!) Hollaback organizers — Julie, Anna, Ingrid, Angelika, Quentin and Jo — and asked them if they'd be willing to do informational outreach sessions with our group.
If you read my "Femanifest #1," I mentioned that I had happened across a particular article concerning violence against women (link to Rebecca Solnit) not long before the second session. I'd researched organizations in Brussels which offer women who have suffered violence various forms of aid, but I was looking in particular for volunteer opportunities, which seemed few and far between. I know what I'm doing when I get back to Burlington — the HOPE Works organization downtown is always in need of volunteers — but I didn't want to wait another seven months before I could take action. It's not like Brussels is clean of these same kinds of violences. Far from it.
I approached Anna after the second session and asked her what I could do, be it for Hollaback or anywhere else in the city. She took my e-mail and a few e-mails, odd jobs, translations, and virtual hollahugs later, and I was at my first Hollaback offline meeting with the organizers and the other volunteers. I can't emphasize enough the aura of enthusiastic, all-inclusive optimism that envelopes the Hollaback! Brussels crew. They are resolute and fired up about their goals to point out the wrongness of street harassment and to end it in Brussels' eighteen communes, but they are not fueled by anger. They're my favorite example as to how a certain dose of anger is helpful, but too much is counterproductive, is poisonous, is actually destructive. It is from this mélange of good feelings but firm desires and plans of action that the "#ShareTheStreets" idea was derived.
"#ShareTheStreets" built on Hollaback! Brussels' goal last year of "reclaiming" the streets. There is the sensation, now, that we are more aware of the streets; we are more sensitive to the fact that they belong as much to us as to any harassers who would like to make us feel otherwise; we are more determined not to allow harassment push us to take a much longer route to work or to prevent us from going to a certain event because it's in a neighborhood where we've been harassed. Here, we want to pass that knowledge on to everyone — the streets and public space belong to everyone. Everyone has the right to pass through or to stop and enjoy it as much as they'd like, without any fear of being harassed or assaulted. No matter what time. No matter who they're with. No matter what they're doing. No matter what they're wearing. No matter their gender, sexuality, race or ethnicity. Hollabackers decided that some of the best ways to emphasize these facts were to focus on empowering bystanders to be active, brave, and empathetic; to share stories of positive experiences in Brussels and prove that street harassers do not define the city; and to leave small presents and encouraging or informational messages in public places in the center for passersby to find, to read, and to pass on.
As they say succinctly on their site, "Because only together can we make this city harassment-, discrimination- and violence-free."
My contribution to the #ShareTheStreets walk was a handful of mix CDs and ten poems, five in English and five in French. I tagged them all with the message cards we made together at the Hollaback offline meeting. Each message card read "#ShareTheStreets" on the front in Brussels' three languages and proclaimed a different message on the flip side. Some simply said, "See harassment? Hollaback!" while others detailed a different bystander tip. I threw everything in my backpack and headed to the Mont des Arts to meet up with the rest of the Hollaback crew.
They were very visible, having spread out different craft and project materials over some square meters of gravel and a bench. They were tying notecards, putting poems and messages in plastic bags, unwinding feather mobiles — they were chalking on the whitewashed trees and the benches, talking, laughing, aww-ing at the happy factor present in each gift. One box overflowed with small flowers and plants potted in cups, probably our most noticeable and popular gift of the day. Every bench in the park was full of people sunning themselves, enjoying their lunch, reading books, meeting friends, sharing pictures on cameras, relishing the light touch of spring present in the air. One of the volunteers was playing guitar and singing softly in Spanish. Another was a young girl, couldn't have been older than ten, who was solemnly focused on her task of tying cards to presents.
We began by looping yarn around trees, tying mobiles in their branches. We stuck notecards attached to bobby pins in the bushes and placed the plants on empty benches. We taped the poetry to flat surfaces. Out of the Mont des Arts, we created a veritable, living, breathing mountain of simple, creative, positive art. And even while we were decorating the park, people were touching the mobiles, reading the cards, taking pictures. I videotaped a few of their reactions, when I was sure it wouldn't be too creepy. They would read the front of the card, flip it over to read the longer message, then nod their heads in agreement. I overheard one guy say to his girlfriend, "That's so cool. That's a really good idea." They seemed a little hesitant to take the more elaborate pieces down. That was part of our whole point — what's out there in public space is for all of us. These are for you. Take them, love them, pass them on.
Once we decided we'd sufficiently arted the park, we moved to the square in front of the clock and began to chalk. A chalk walk, for those who don't know, is a simple concept: it involves grabbing a piece of chalk and scrawling a message on a surface to reclaim a part of public space and both make it your own and open it up to others. The concept originally started as a means of reclaiming the spaces where someone was harassed. It's part of an element of cognitive behavioral therapy, Ingrid explained to us later, to have the patient confront exactly what it is that traumatizes him or her. It's a major part of the healing, possibly the most difficult part. Having been a patient to this kind of therapy myself, I could tell you, in detail, how hard it is. And I can also tell you how much it heals. The person harassed writes whatever will help them — a message to the harasser, a message to harassers in general, a message alerting people to the realities of street harassment — whatever will best help them reclaim the space. It's moving, Ingrid was saying, it's an incredible emotional experience, both to feel and to witness.
From there, we moved down le Boulevard de l'Empereur, tying notes to lamp posts and banisters and window wipers, putting gifts in the baskets of the city's Villo bicycles, leaving plants and small pieces of beaded jewelry on windowsills. After a quick pick-me-up in Al Jannah on Rue Blaes, we continued through la Place du Jeu de Balle and reached la Porte de Hal as our final destination. We drew long chalked messages down the sloping sidewalks of the park, decorated all the fences, and took a few minutes to appreciate both the work we'd done in the park and the work we'd done throughout the whole day.
While I was tying a few message cards to a fence, a couple with their three small dogs strolled up behind me. One of the men was watching what I was doing as he slowly passed and he said under his breath in English to his partner, "I wonder what they're doing?" The other man shrugged.
I turned and grinned. "Do you want me to tell you?"
He laughed. "Yes!"
I explained that it was International Anti-Street Harassment Week, that our concept was sharing the streets with everyone, and if they should happen to see one of our gifts, they should pick it up. The two nodded and carried on walking their dogs. They moved slowly through the park, reading all the note cards, picking up the flowers, touching the mobiles. As they came to the end of a full loop, nearly meeting back up with us, the first man decided to pick up a tulip bulb planted in a pot. Ingrid clapped, so excited someone had taken the initiative to claim a present. Beaming, he asked if he could take a picture with a few of us. His partner held the three leashes and snapped a shot of the two of us with the triumphant present finder. He turned to us afterwards and, clutching his plant, said, "I'm so glad you all are doing this. The city needs something like this. We," he said, gesturing to his partner, "are kind of known in the neighborhood. Here in St. Gilles, you know, 'cause we're always walking the dogs. We just got harassed pretty badly last week… we get spit on and stuff." He paused. "So thank you, really."
I wanted to hug the shit out of him. "That's why we're doing this. We absolutely do need this. That shouldn't happen." I didn't need to tell him that, of course. We waved an amical goodbye.
We finished up our long afternoon and evening with a quick drink in Potemkine, just across the street. It's a special group of people, the Brussels Hollabackers. We talked forever, about all sorts of things ranging from feminism and harassment to films we remembered from childhood. The conversation on the more difficult, often heated issues–rape culture, street harassment, Femen's actions–took place in the way these conversations always should: without anger, without hate, without judgment. Only open ears and an effort to understand what someone is saying and why. The space between those in the group and between others is so open, so free, so fluid. You never feel ill at ease, or like an outsider–you feel like you are one of them. I don't mean that in a clique way. I think it comes from the fact that they are working to foster that kind of communication on a large scale in Brussels–that openness and that freedom–and they start with themselves, in their daily lives, with their friends, family, and acquaintances. It's not a sensation of a conscious effort on their part to try to include everyone and make everyone feel good–it's just what ends up happening because it is coming from such a positive place. That is Hollaback! Brussels. That is the principle of #ShareTheStreets.
And because of this positivity, I experienced a feeling in the streets of Brussels that I'd never felt before, or if I have, it hasn't been for any longer than a few minutes. I felt… I mean, I felt like myself. I felt like I could walk where I wanted, do what I wanted, whistle what I wanted (I was whistling a lot of indie folk hits), skip up and down the pavé however I wanted. I didn't worry about whether my skirt was riding up or not, or whether my shirt was slouching down too low. I didn't spare two seconds' thought to what male passersby might do to me. It wasn't particularly because we were all in a group–as we walked, we spread out over large areas to scatter our presents as widely as possible. It wasn't because I was taking a defensive, it's my right to be here too, kind of attitude. It was, plain and simple, that hopefulness, that belief in the citizens of Brussels that we are mostly good, we are inherently good, and we just need a little nudge to show it. Maybe a girl with a navy knapsack and floral sunglasses whistling Boy & Bear's "Feeding Line" was a nudge for someone. Maybe finding a potted plant in the basket of a Villo was another. Maybe seeing a group of teenagers clustered around one of our longer messages, reading it out loud, was yet one other.
The streets belong to all of us. Owning the streets, reclaiming them, it doesn't mean guarding them jealously to ourselves. Then we're back to square one. It meant what I felt that Saturday that we walked from the Mont des Arts to les Marolles, making each other and other smile, getting strangers to walk away with an extra bit of reflection and of kindness. Even getting one person to think differently about street harassment, or making a victim's day a little brighter–that's still one person whose day you affected, and positively.
We didn't take Brussels by storm. We took it by cups of plant and petites pensées du jour.
Anna Claire.

Telli was getting such adulation for more than just running Hospice Care. She has served on many civic and charitable boards, including the Broward County Community AIDS Task Force, Broward House (which also helps AIDS patients), and the Broward County Committee For the Prevention of Child Abuse. She's also a trustee on the board that oversees Fort Lauderdale's public cemeteries.
No one at the picture-perfect roast could have known that the hospice would nearly be wrenched apart in the coming months.
In September 1993 O'Donnell went on vacation to England. When she returned to work, she says, employees came to her office and told her they believed the board was covering up some financial discrepancies with the agency. "They perceived that Susan Telli and Fay Miller were very involved in it," O'Donnell says.
Those visits coincided with the results of the annual audit conducted by Fort Lauderdale accountant Grant Thornton. Thornton's report found "significant deficiencies" in the way money was spent at the hospice. In a letter to the hospice dated August 20, 1993, Thornton noted a litany of financial transgressions, including a $5000 loan of hospice funds to Miller approved by Telli, and the issue of several checks made payable to cash by Telli. Such checks, Thornton added, "should be very rare in an organization of this type... without adequate supporting documentation, it is impossible to determine if such funds are actually spent for a valid business purpose of the Organization."
The accountant's report also called into question the use of two corporate American Express cards used by Telli and Miller.
"The only supporting documentation surrounding the payment of American Express bills were the monthly statements," Thornton wrote. "As part of our examination, we noted numerous charges on these cards for local restaurants, home furnishing centers, department stores, and other organizations."
In a note that would prove prescient, the auditor wrote that continued use of the American Express cards "could result in adverse personal tax consequences for the Executive Director and the Chief Financial Officer in the event of an Internal Revenue Service challenge."
Thornton also questioned the travel advances given to Telli and Miller, of which they found several, ranging from $750 to $2000. "In each of these circumstances, the expense report submitted by the employee indicated total expenses in an amount [that] exceeded the advance taken by a nominal amount. However, there was a substantial lack of supporting receipts and other documentation to indicate that the expenses had actually been incurred."
Based on what he'd seen, Thornton warned that Hospice Care might lose its tax-exempt status, noting that IRS codes strictly forbid inurement.
O'Donnell, meanwhile, says she began finding mysterious manila folders sitting on her desk. She says she still doesn't know who left them there. In the folders were copies of hospice checks or expenses that seemed questionable, some of which O'Donnell kept and provided to New Times. There was a copy of a check signed by Telli for a child's recliner at a wholesale club. There were nearly $3000 worth of checks made out to cash and documented to have been for Hurricane Andrew relief, some of it earmarked for a group known as "Miami Hospice." No such hospice existed, O'Donnell says. There was a $70 check made out to the swank Fort Lauderdale Tower Club for Susan Telli's membership dues.
Ploutz, who took Miller's place after she was fired, says that during the next couple of years, while he was working with auditors and the IRS sorting through the mess, he saw that Hospice Care had footed the bill for hundreds of dollars' worth of expensive luggage for Telli. He also says he saw that Telli and Miller, who had absolute control over Hospice Care's purse strings, had given themselves annual bonuses of as much as $5000 during the early '90s. Both he and Gent say they saw a Hospice Care check for more than $1000 that was used to pay the bill for a personal hospital visit by Telli.
There was a lot of explaining to do.
"I was enraged," Buntrock says. "We had worked so hard, and here [Telli] was pissing away our money. It's difficult to deal with someone who doesn't understand that they aren't dealing with their own money."
Not long after the audit uncovered the wrongdoing, an anonymous letter, which was recently obtained by New Times, was sent to the board of directors. The letter showed intimate knowledge of hospice dealings and the misspendings of Telli and Miller, including details that the accountant Thornton hadn't mentioned. The letter reflected an attitude of contempt for Telli's financial recklessness that several former employees say was common, though never expressed for fear of reprisal.
The letter mentioned the loan to Miller and noted that it was against federal rules to loan anyone Medicare or Medicaid money. "Such laws concerning Corporation and Public funds are common knowledge throughout the agency, and pleading ignorance by Management shows either gross incompetence or lying with intent to deceive," wrote the letter's anonymous and still-unknown author.
Other staff concerns, according to the letter, were "the incompetency of Fay Miller and extravagant use of money; and the frequent absenteeism, excessive travel, and frequent local entertainment costs of [Telli]." It mentioned checks for "Telli family flowers" and huge annual bonuses that had been paid out.

Ashlyne here checking in! My week was crazy as usual. If you've been reading posts from the past, you've gathered that life on the road is a day to day adventure. For instance, one day you could be having a day off in NYC exploring the city, the next you could be crossing into Canada and having to wake up in the middle of the night to show the border patrol your passports. I don't remember much of that though, hard sleeper!
Another day you could be in the MTV studios filming a wacky show called Silent Library with your tourmates! I made it through and I have a T-shirt to prove it! Because the episode hasn't aired yet, I can't tell you what they made me do, but I'll just say it was NASTY!
Read on to find out what that means!
WHAT A WEEK. Where do I start? I guess I could start with the big news! Some of it's great and some...less than great, but not bad!! I'll get the less than great news over with -- my label called me earlier this week telling me that we are going to push my album release back 2 weeks. It WAS April 27 but will now be MAY 11th! The reason is simple: I am on this tour with Honor Society and Just Kait and in order to release my album while still on the tour, I would have to miss a couple shows... And I don't want to miss any of them!!

It's Ashlyne again! Wow, these last weeks have been a whole lot of crazy and amazing! Living on the bus has been a different experience -- put that with the fact that there are TWELVE of us on it and it's a whole different thing!
We went from Florida to Texas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Missouri, and now Michigan! I have met so many wonderful fans in each state that have made each night I perform...

I am Ashlyne Huff! I'm a pop singer from Nashville, Tennessee (no, not a country singer!! :) ) I am out on the road right now with the coolest band ever, Honor Society and MTV artist Just Kait on the Here Comes Trouble Tour, and we are going all around the US and Canada! So far it has been a dream come true. I watch the guys perform every night and my goodness, they are so fun to watch! I'm sure I'll get some funny stories as I get to know them even better -- but let's just say they are hilarious and have no problem making fun of me! :)
To tell you a little about me, I write all my songs, I'm a dancer, and I come from a very musical family. I grew up basically living in the recording studio with my dad...

Melinda J. Gough is Associate Professor of English and Cultural Studies at McMaster University. Her research focuses on late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century English and continental literature, with particular attention to early modern women as producers and consumers of courtly and popular culture.
She has published essays on sixteenth-century Italian and English epic (Tasso and Spenser) and popular English drama (Shakespeare and Jonson); the early seventeenth-century Swetnam controversy in England; French queens and political culture; and the performances of Queen Henrietta Maria and her mother, Marie de Medici. Her work has appeared in journals such as Renaissance Quarterly, SEL, Studies in Philology, The Huntington Library Quarterly,and The Court Historian.
Her essay "Marie de Medici's 1605 Ballet de la Reine and the Virtuosic Voice" won the Best Article Prize for an essay published in Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal Volume 7 (2012). Another essay, entitled "Marie de Medici's 1605 Ballet de la Reine: New Evidence and Analysis" (Early Theatre 15.1) was awarded the Medieval and Renaissance Drama Society's 2013 Barbara D. Palmer Award for Best New Essay in Early Drama Archives Research. She also received the Society for the Study of Early Modern Women's Award for Best Article Published in 2003 for her essay "'Not as myself': the Queen's Voice in Tempe Restored," which appeared in Modern Philology 101.1.
Melinda Gough is currently writing a book-length study centered on the performance history and legacy of Marie de Medici (1573-1642), wife of Henri IV. This project's particular focus is royal women's involvement in the early modern transnational dramatic genre known as the ballet de cour or masque. Funded by a SSHRCC Standard Research grant as well as fellowships from the National Humanities Centre and the Renaissance Society of America, this monograph engages diverse fields in early modern and feminist studies including literature, diplomatic history, musicology, art history, performance history, and women's history.

As Editor (with Helen Ostovich) of Early Theatre: A Journal Associated with the Records of Early English Drama, Melinda Gough enjoys supervising the work of doctoral students who serve as Editorial Assistants for the journal. She also serves on MA and PhD committees in areas ranging from medieval through contemporary studies, and welcomes as potential supervisees students interested in gender and performance; early modern studies, especially performance history, court studies, epic poetry, women's writing, and popular print; gender and sexuality studies; and feminist theory.

Jag Jeans is a proud sponsor of Bb. Pilipinas 2014. And the forty (40) Binibinis helped further the brand's exposure with the photoshoots that highlighted the denim line, while making each one of them shine with such oozing sexiness. The photos below prove that point.
Jag Jeans
All posts tagged Jag Jeans
I chose my favorite Jag shots among the Bb. Pilipinas 2014 Official Candidates and came up with six (6) – Mary Jean Lastimosa, Aiza Faeldonia, Emma Tiglao, Bianca Guidotti, Yvethe Santiago and Laura Lehmann. I feel that one of them will get the'She's So Jag' award.
I'm sure you have your favorites too. Why not campaign for her across social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) and get the chance to win (2) VIP tickets to the pageant finals on March 30? He/She will also be the lucky winner of an iPhone 5.
Just don't forget the hashtags (#JagJeans2014 #SoJag2014) so your efforts are clearly tracked and counted.
A brief explanation on why you chose one of the ladies is also needed as basis for selecting the contest winner.
Campaign deadline will be March 29, a day before the Big One. ;-)
I hand-picked seven (7) Bb. Pilipinas 2014 Official Candidates who really outdid the others in the Jag Denims segment. I chose them for making the brand shine effortlessly, while commanding attention more favorably (read: stage-owning presence).
At the start of the Bb. Pilipinas 2014 Grand Fashion Event tonight at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, the ladies wore the latest denim collection of Jag Jeans. Their individual charm and sexiness filled the ramp as each lady gave her own spin on the body hugging variations of the skinny pants/jeggings/short shorts and more.
Here are some of the photos courtesy of OPMB Worldwide's Jory Rivera.

After watching the video above, you now know what you stand to be missing if you pass up on the chance of watching the Bb. Pilipinas 2014 Grand Fashion Event tomorrow night at the Smart Arenta Coliseum.The forty (40) Bb. Pilipinas 2014 Official Candidates will walk the ramp in two portions – the Jag Jeans Denim Fashion and the National Costume Competition where the designers of each lady will pull out all the stops to come up with the most breathtaking traditional attires – be it old-style, modern or futuristic.
So who will stand out above the rest? Who will rule the catwalk? Will we see the strong favorites shining even more?
The Bb. Pilipinas 2013 Fashion Show at the Smart Araneta Coliseum was a fun relaxed event for everyone who attended. It was like bonding with your girlfriends with no nagging pressure hanging around everyone's neck.
The 2013 line of Jag Jeans was the star of the show, but the 50 Official Candidates made sure that they made all the attires shine even more with them wearing the mix-and-match combinations of tops, bottoms, skirts and what-have-yous. For those curious if the activity had any bearing on the pre-judging, it is possible but not by much. The second part had them wearing the creations of Pitoy Moreno, but it did not exude the anticipated formal glam anymore since the casual portion set the rugged tone at the start. At any rate, that was a nice opportunity since we've only seen all in National Costumes, but not Evening Gowns.
Anyways, today is the calm before the storm, so to speak. So take a beauty rest because tomorrow will be a day full of good stress! ;-)
During the Jag Jeans pictorial of the Bb. Pilipinas 2013 Official Candidates, the ladies were shot in groups of five. And instead of having them picked by the chronology of their respective pin numbers, everything was made at random.
Just imagine my reaction when I saw the photo above. Is this a prophetic capture or what? Hannah Sison, Bea Santiago, Charmaine Elima, Mariel de Leon and Parul Shah clustered together. How much more favorites-ridden can it get?
Intentional or coincidental? ;-)

Did you ever wonder about what happens after death? The fate of the soul may be a mystery, but the fate of your Facebook profile could be in the hands of the Nevada legislature. Sen. Barbara Cegavske proposed legislation that would give next-of-kin the right to manage social media after death. Will the law help people manage the legacies of lost loved ones, or open a Pandora's box of unwanted information?

Hundreds of Afghan women imprisoned for 'moral crimes,' says new report
But the response of local journalists at Human Rights Watch press conference shows how tough it may be to persuade Afghans to end criminalization of 'crimes' that include fleeing abuse.
Mohammad Ismail/Reuters
Kabul, Afghanistan
Ten years into the NATO-led war in Afghanistan, those who seek to bring social reform to Afghanistan still face a major problem: selling it to large segments of the population who remain averse to change.
On Wednesday, Human Rights Watch issued one such call for change with a new report that highlighted the ongoing issue of women who are arrested and imprisoned for fleeing abusive family situations.
At a conference hall at the Serena, Kabul's 5-star hotel, packed with mostly local journalists but also with a smattering of foreign reporters, HRW representatives outlined the report, which describes the situations of about 400 women, half the female prison population, who are imprisoned for moral crimes such as having sex outside marriage or running away from home.
Among the personal stories in the report, the authors recounted tales of women who were given away as brides when they were as young as 12 years old to settle disputes, only to be abused by their new family. Others were married off to men who turned out to be abusive drug addicts. When these women fled, they were imprisoned for running away from home without permission.
The authors advocate that the Afghan government stop imprisoning women who run away from home to escape abusive situations. Putting woman in jail for this is not supported by the Afghan penal code or Islamic law, say HRW officials. The threat of imprisonment also discourages women from reporting abuse or trying to leave dangerous situations.
Challenging the status quo
But when the HRW representatives began taking questions from the press, they were immediately confronted with the challenge Westerners have faced for more than a decade as they try to change Afghanistan.

You'll probably have to power off, or at least reboot, to get it out. Last time something similar happened to me, the CDROM had died.

Waiting patiently. > > {will Gates win in the end???} > I assume you can't run Makedev because the file is on the CD and you don't have an internet connection from this box ? In which case, you have a command prompt in chroot - if /proc is already mounted, umount it. Similarly with /dev/pts. I guess you haven't mounted anything else if you haven't run Makedev. Anyway, when anything you've mounted in chroot is umounted, exit out of chroot (this allows you to shut down cleanly, otherwise the host won't know about your extra mounts and won't manage to umount $LFS because it is busy). If you have the space and haven't already made a backup of /mnt/lfs, now would be a good time to do so. Then reboot and try to remove the CD again before the bootloader kicks in. If that fails, power off and get your screwdrivers out! Once your hardware is back in business, boot up, mount $LFS, resume from chapter 6. Or have I missed something ?

Dolphins Host the Falcons Tonight: What To Watch For
Categories: Sports
Generally, the third pre-season is seen as the final dress rehearsal for the starters before the regular season kicks off. So, rain or no rain (most likely RAIN), we're expected to see the starters play until at least the middle of the third quarter. Here's what to watch for:
1. The Starting Center: The offense looked pretty badass last week. Chad Henne was sharp, tight end Anthony Fasano was a touchdown scoring machine, and the addition of Brandon Marshall proved to be a genius move. But we still don't know who the starting center will be. Three pre-season games in, and Jake Grove and Joe Berger are still trying to earn that job. They both need to step it up tonight if they want the starting center job. Someone should tell these guys the starting center job is made out of bacon.
2. The Receivers: With Greg Camarillo off to Minnesota, opportunities have opened for Marlon Moore, Patrick Turner, and Roberto Wallace. Two of these guys will make the final 53-man roster. The third will be thrown into a shark tank with slabs of raw sirloin cutlets tied around his neck. The Dolphins coaching staff is tough, but fair.
3. The Secondary: It's been a fantastic pre-season so far for second-year cornerbacks Vontae Davis and Sean Smith. And by "fantastic" we mean "a bucket full of fail." They've allowed some big plays to mediocre quarterbacks the last two weeks. Also, Davis suffered a chest injury against the Jaguars. Earlier this week, the Dolphins traded for veteran corner Benny Sapp while Nolan Carroll, Jason Allen, and Nate Ness are battling it out for roster spots. There's little doubt the starting cornerback jobs are Davis and Smith's to lose. But they need to step up their game starting tonight. It would also help if the defensive line stopped standing around during the game and actually put some pressure on the quarterback.
4. The Special Teams: Two games, two block punts allowed. When punts haven't been blocked, the coverage team has been porous, allowing Jacksonville to return kickoffs to the 40-yard line twice last week. Plus, no one player has emerged to take the kick-returner job. It's been reported that Tony Sparano spent extra time with the special teams during practice this week. He probably challenged each member of the special teams to a bear-knuckle boxing match to straighten them out. Because he strikes us as the kind of guy that would do that rather than, say, throw a hissy fit.
Game time is 7 p.m. and will broadcast live on WFOR Channel 4.

Fate of Incan Artifacts Still Uncertain
Article Audio
Some Incan Artifacts are once again at the center of an international debate. Nearly 100 years ago an American archeologist shipped thousands of antiquities from Macchu Picchu in Peru to Yale University in Connecticut.
Two years ago the government of Peru threatened to sue to get them back last year the two sides hammered out a tentative agreement for Yale to return the material. Now the fate of those artifacts is once again in question. Diane Orson reports .
