Chicks on the way
I just ordered five chicks from My Pet Chicken (2 Barred Rocks, 2 Speckled Sussex, 1 Dominique). I hope those were good choices! This is my first experience with chickens.
My husband and are working on the coop. I've seen some mixed advice about the sizing. The hens will be confined for most of the day. I plan to let them out some, but I hear they are hard to catch. I'm worried about them getting over our 3' fence one one side.
That being said, would a 4X8' coop that's 5' tall be roomy enough for five chickens. We plan to build the roost box within this 4X8 area, but raised about a 1 1/2 feet to leave the full 4X8 ground area open.
Chickens should have a minimum of 4-6 feet per bird, especially if they are going to be confined to the coop most of the time. Overcrowding/boredom can lead to feather picking and other abuse, so give them as much room and a variety of things to do (eat) as you can. :) I'd also make sure to make your coop tall enough for you to stand up in--because sure as you don't, you'll be crawling in there after some sick or injured bird who has gone to the furthest back corner!
Your breed choices sound fine. If you handle the chicks a lot, handfeed them goodies and teach them to come when you call (use food as incentive, chickens are VERY food motivated!) they should be quite tame. The way to a chicken's heart is through it's stomach. Mine know and trust us, and we can walk over to them any time and scoop them up for pets & cuddles. Keeping them tame is in the best interests of both you AND the birds, since you don't want to have to chase them down in an emergency.
Chickens make excellent pets, and most breeds are calm, friendly, sweet and curious, and have great personalities, just like a cat or a dog. And they love people if treated kindly--I think you are going to be surprised at how attached you get to them! If you ever have trouble getting them into the coop, just walk out with their favorite goodie and they'll follow you anywhere!
Yes, I'd be concerned about the 3 foot fence and would raise it to a 5 foot fence--not only to keep them IN, but to keep predators (and people) OUT. When the chicks are youngsters of about 2-8 months of age, they are all wing and lift with no body weight--and no brains. At that age they can jump up on things and be over a low fence before you know it, so watch out for that. I've learned to alwyas trim my youngster's wings when they first go out into the yard for the first time. By the time they molt out and grow new wings feathers, they've usually learned to stay sensibly put on the ground. As they gain some age, weight and sense, they tend to stay in their own yard. :)
Some hens don't like nest boxes that have to be climbed up into (especially older or heavier hens), but I'd say give it a try and see what happens--if they hate them, you'll know!
Enjoy your chickens! :)

Thank you for that post! I feel like I'm already attached to them and they aren't even here yet! It sounds like I will need to either build a large chicken run or put up a 6 foot fence. Do you think trimming their wings would be enough to keep them from jumping that 3' fence? Unfortunately, there's a big dog on the other side of that fence. So I want to make sure they can't get over it.
I do plan to handle the chicks a lot.:) I'm getting their brooder box set up now. I hope to get them tame enough that I won't end up running around the yard chasing chickens all day. Sounds like that's very possible from what's been said.
Yes, raise the fence. Also make sure that the big dog cannot come THROUGH or OVER the fence.
I've heard so many tragic stories from people who's chickens got slaughtered by dogs coming into their yard... :( And when I was a kid, once in a while one of our white Leghorns would manage to get over our 5 foot fence--the neighbor's dog was a German Shephard, and would literally stalk and kill those chickens, just like a cat.
Protect your birds, lots of things out there are VERY determined when it comes to getting a chicken dinner.

Amway Center, Orlando, FL
ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Orlando Magic had every excuse in the world to fall flat. Pick any one of them -- they all fit fine for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Lou Williams scored 24 points, Andre Iguodala had 21 and the Sixers beat the undermanned Magic 97-89 on Saturday night on a day Orlando made a pair of blockbuster trades that left them severely short-handed for a night.
"Any time you make a trade, it changes the psyche of your team," Sixers coach Doug Collins said.
Not that he was complaining about the timing.
Elton Brand finished with 20 points to help Philadelphia to a relatively easy victory with Orlando having only eight players available after two major trades. They acquired troubled guard Gilbert Arenas from the Washington Wizards, and Hedo Turkoglu and Jason Richardson from the Phoenix Suns.
That left them with almost no help and no room for error against Philadelphia. The Magic managed to keep things close for a half until the Sixers pulled away with a strong defensive push and 31 points in the third quarter, handing Orlando its sixth loss in seven games.
Magic coach Stan Van Gundy couldn't have cared less about the emotional toll of a trade-filled day.
"Make every excuse in the world," he said. "That's five straight games where we've done nothing to defend in the second half. So whatever the excuses are. I'm running out of them. I don't believe in any of them. Go out and guard somebody."
The game was the first of eight straight on the road for the Sixers. Their grueling trip will cover some 9,300 miles, and they won't play another game in Philadelphia until Jan. 5.
Orlando even gave them a send-off gift by putting up little resistance.
After having the minimum amount of players available at tip-off, the Magic played the second half with only seven when backup point guard Jason Williams injured his left foot and did not return. The fatigue finally overwhelmed them.
"It was tough. This was kind of like the first time something like that happened on my team," Orlando's Jameer Nelson said. "I just had to approach the game the same way."
It wasn't easy.
Dwight Howard had 26 points and 20 rebounds, and Brandon Bass had 18 points for the Magic. Orlando's recent struggles -- coupled with the surge atop the Eastern Conference standings by Boston and rival Miami -- forced the Magic to make the only moves they could to revamp their roster.
Orlando sent forward Rashard Lewis to Washington, and Vince Carter, Mickael Pietrus and Marcin Gortat to Phoenix in a separate trade. The Magic also gave Phoenix their 2011 first-round draft pick and cash, and received Suns forward Earl Clark.
Philadelphia never took it easy on them.
The Sixers took full advantage by wearing down the Magic on an emotional day that left them without some longtime teammates. Philadelphia went ahead by 15 points in the fourth quarter and never looked back.
"Defensively as a team, this is the best we've played as a unit," Brand said. "It feels like we're hitting on all cylinders defensively."
Game notes
Arenas is expected to join the Magic on Sunday in Orlando. The others were set to join the Magic when they play at Atlanta on Monday night. The Magic decided to take Sunday off because they wouldn't have enough players available for practice, with all involved in the trade needing to pass physicals first. ... Sixers G Evan Turner, the No. 2 overall draft pick, came off the bench after not playing at all Friday against the Lakers. He has two points on 1 of 5 shooting.

Like an echo in a grand concert hall, the tragic stories of Holocaust victims continue to reverberate, and Justin Rito is listening.
Rito, a D.M.A. student in the Michigan State University College of Music, is composing music to convey the emotion in Miklós Radnóti's poetry. Radnóti was a Hungarian poet raised in a Jewish family who was shot and killed by German soldiers after forcibly marching across Hungary.
"I was drawn to the story because of its range of human experiences, some poignantly sad and others joyful," Rito said. "Eventually, we witness his body and spirit crumble under cruelty and reflect the human qualities war took from us."
Radnóti documented his final journey in four short poems of thoughts and memories titled Razglednicas, or "Picture Post Cards." In them, he foretells his death and describes thoughts of his closest friend and his wife, represented in Rito's music by a violin and an English horn, respectively.
"The song begins softly but quickly gets very active and tense to represent marching," Rito said. "Then the violin and English horn enter. Their solos are the silver lining in this story. His remembrance of his loved ones is really compelling."
Rito has experience drawing musical inspiration from heavy topics. He wrote his last song cycle during the Iraqi War about the wife of a soldier who was away in Iraq. He said a range of emotional experiences is crucial to composing moving music.
"I've written pieces trying to be funny of lighthearted," Rito said, "but it's more interesting if a musician doesn't write with the same emotional quality all the time. It helps me grow as an artist."
With a bachelor's and two master's degrees related to music already in hand, Rito has years of experience in higher education that have improved his music performing and writing talents. Still, he credits Ricardo Lorenz, MSU associate professor of composition and Rito's faculty adviser, for pushing his skills to a new level.
"Every week I show him what I've written," Rito said. "He gives me feedback on the effectiveness of my communication, helping me find the sounds that can really draw people into my music."
Before he graduates, Rito would like to create a piece for the Spartan Marching Band and have a performance for all his works in the fall. His positive experience at MSU has him hoping to find a career at a university after his time as a student has ended.
"I would really like to teach composition and other music classes," Rito said. "I've always enjoyed music, and working as a professor would let me keep surrounding myself with it."

Publisher's Description
We want more. More peace. More excitement. More romance. More free time. More chocolate . . .
Our cravings are written into our DNA. Theyre influenced by our childhood experiences. Theyre driving the choices we make as adults. And often, theyre keeping us hungry. Never satisfied. Ever searching.
What do they mean? What are we to do with them? Should we feel guilty? Are there solutions?
Counselor and author Marilyn Meberg knows all about cravings. She also knows the One who knit us together, desires and all. With wit and compassion, Marilyn helps us understand our appetites, offers advice for managing them here on earth, and encourages us to eagerly await the day when we will find total satisfaction in heaven.
In the meantime, Constantly Craving is an excellent reminder that our desires for more can lead us to the One we really need, the only One who will quench our thirst forever. Really? Really!

myrtiaGender: female4 Stars Out Of 5CravingNovember 7, 2012myrtiaGender: femaleThis review was written for Constantly Craving: How to Make Sense of Always Wanting More.This book made me look into myself and understand myself better, and that's why I loved it.
It is so true that we are constantly craving something, whether we know what that something is (something sweet to eat, a hug, a kiss, laughter, feeling safe, a new dres and so on) or we don't know what that something is. We just crave something.
Now, this book, doesn't come out right and tell you, that something you need is God and He will fulfill you and you won't want for anything any more. I know that. You know that. The thing is, how do you get to the place where you are full and fulfilled? Knowledge isn't enough. It just isn't.
It's how you live that matters.
So this book began at the beginning. And the beginning is myself.
It taught me things about myself that I didn't know, like where all this craving comes from. Its origin and what formed it so that I'll need this and not that. This was very helpful to me.
Sometimes this book read a little too simplistically, and I had to roll my eyes. But these times were not too often, and I took so much from it that I can easily overlook these grandmotherly passages.
It was exactly what I needed.
I will recommend it to all my friends. And to you too.
Rating: 4/5

Blue RaindropWichita, KsAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Not a "beat into submission" style bookOctober 26, 2012Blue RaindropWichita, KsAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Constantly Craving: How to Make Sense of Always Wanting More.Constantly Craving by Marilyn Meberg is the latest book that I've received from Thomas Nelson for reviewing.
There's been a lot of books with themes of cravings... mostly along the lines of following God and not our flesh. This is not one of those books.
This is a book that discusses many of the areas where we always find ourselves wanting more no matter how much we have. It doesn't get into things like addictions or personal weaknesses, these are areas that everyone tends to feel, like relationships.
But rather than go the route of beating ourselves up over these cravings, or being a how-to on trying to make them stop, Marilyn shows them simply as being signs pointing to the fact that we are made for more than just the human experience.
It's a fun read, and has a lot of stories and real life examples... but the whole different approach towards the topic of cravings was really what stood out to me. It's so much of a change to have a discussion of the topic that doesn't totally revolve around trying to make cravings go away.
Definitely a good book! -
junnelaranasAge: 18-24Gender: male4 Stars Out Of 5read this now!October 5, 2012junnelaranasAge: 18-24Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4This review was written for Constantly Craving: How to Make Sense of Always Wanting More.I can overcome my own Constant Cravings... It is a very good book to read. It is very easy to read and follow along. I felt that each chapter was very explained and thorough until this was approached. This book is filled with scripture to back up every point she makes in a way that gently guides us to the source of Life- Jesus. This book has a very good sense of inspiration, its been in and out of my little bookshelves. I would have to say that this is a must read book to everyone. It was encouraging to have an author address so many aspects where we often feel we're the only ones wanting more! It was a shot of head in me, I want more and it ruin my life. It was terrible. The more I have the more I want. Its just endless... You have to read this now!
JessieGeorgiaAge: 35-44Gender: female3 Stars Out Of 5September 5, 2012JessieGeorgiaAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 3Value: 3Meets Expectations: 3This review was written for Constantly Craving: How to Make Sense of Always Wanting More.As someone who has heard and enjoys hearing Marilyn Meberg speak I was excited when I saw this book and wondered what was behind the title. Was about to discover how to put a stop to some things?
What I wanted was really to find out how to STOP some constant cravings. That is not what I found.
From the very beginning in chapter one it states that the book is about "recognizing and giving a name to the itch, the quest, the craving for a "MORE" experience...".
I found the book easy to read and understand. There were many statements that provoked my thinking and caused me to do some evaluating concerning why I crave certain things and provided insight into how to deal with my cravings constructively.
Overall the book relates the idea that all our cravings lead us to the God who created us and that He can and will satisfying the cravings we have.
There is no "fix" in this book but you will find some knowledge and understanding.

Heather KingGloucester, VAAge: 25-34Gender: female3 Stars Out Of 5What We Crave and WhyJuly 9, 2012Heather KingGloucester, VAAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4This review was written for Constantly Craving: How to Make Sense of Always Wanting More.Marilyn Meberg has a background as an English teacher and as a counselor. It shows. This book reads like a psychology/literature class about why we want more out of life. She hosts the discussion like a fun and quirky, but nevertheless scholarly, professor. It's not really a Biblical study on the issue of craving. While she talks about God, she doesn't really draw lessons from Scripture. Mostly her stories and teaching emerge from personal experience, people she's met, literature, and psychological research.
There's a run of books right now about craving food and other idols we set up in our lives as we try to fill voids and find satisfaction apart from Christ. If that's what you're looking for, I'd suggest you keep searching. Meberg even tells you at the end that she avoided all of the commonly talked about cravings and deep hungers that lead to addiction. So, how much you enjoy this book will likely depend on what you expected when you picked it up.
With an emphasis on the craving for more in our relationships like our marriages and friendships, this book will most likely benefit those struggling in these areas. Meberg talks about issues like the way our childhood impacts what we long for as adults and how we carry those expectations into future interactions with others.
It is interesting to see how she talks, not just about the stereotypical cravings that drive us to idolatry and addiction, but perhaps cravings we should fuel and feed---and healthy ways to do just that. Why do we crave more out of friendship and how can we be that kind of friend? Why do we crave solitude and how do you achieve it? Even more interesting perhaps is the question--what do we do if we don' t crave solitude? How do we still achieve times of quiet with the Lord?
I also enjoyed the reminder to just relax and laugh sometimes. I have a tendency to take myself too seriously and to treat my every mistake as a sign of serious character flaws. She has a way of laughing at forgetfulness and misplaced keys and moving right along. Am I clumsy and forgetful? You betcha. Time to get over that and move on to more important things.
Again, enjoying this book depends so much on what you expect when you pick it up and whether or not her particular style of writing from a psychology and literature background are your cup of tea.
I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions I have expressed are my own.

Stanford researchers working on 3D imager
Mike Tomkins
(Thursday, February 21, 2008 - 17:11 EST)
"Underexposed," a CNET blog authored by journalist Stephen Shankland, has reported on interesting research taking place at Stanford University.
The CNET article describes a prototype image sensor capable of recording the distance of its subjects. The "multi-aperture" imager was described by its creators at the recent International Solid State Circuits Conference in San Francisco, in a speech entitled "A 3MPixel Multi-Aperture Image Sensor with 0.7μm Pixels in 0.11μm CMOS". The technology is the result of research by Stanford student Keith Fife and Stanford's Department of Electrical Engineering professors
Abbas El Gamal
H.-S. Philip Wong
, all of the
El Gamal Research Group
The new image sensor breaks up the surface of the imager into subarrays of 16 x 16 pixels, with each subarray sharing one microlens between all 256 pixels that lay beneath. Some clever maths is then used to locate specific image elements as seen by multiple subarrays, and the positioning differences can then be used to calculate the element's distance from the camera.
The technique has the potential not only for 3D imaging, but also for reducing lens complexity by allowing for some of the work currently achieved by elements inside of the camera's lens to be performed at the sensor instead. The approach could also offer reduced noise, albeit at greatly reduced resolution due to the use of subarrays which each share a single microlens. On the flipside though, the processing required to generate a final image with depth map is said to be increased tenfold over traditional digital cameras, and the technique requires a subject containing texture or detail from which to determine the positioning differences seen by each subarray.
More info and some pictures (but no samples) can be found in the

Reviews for this vacation townhouse rental in Morro Bay, California
Kathy Rafferty
St. Paul, MN
Visitors from Minnesota
February 19, 2014
House was beautiful with nice view. Everything worked and it was very clean. Bedrooms great especially master suite. Only issue was there were several lights that needed bulbs replaced. Nice fireplaces that we did use I. The later evenings.

This was our first time staying in the area. It was fantastic! The home was both beautifully decorated, warm, welcoming, comfortable, and meticulously maintained. Very spacious too, which was well suited for our three generations. We truly appreciated the natural beauty of the area. Great views from both the living room and master bedroom. Amazing (and reasonably priced) golf course. Lots for both the kids and adults to do - we went kayaking, hiking, golfing, tide pooling, wine tasting! No one wanted to leave. We will definitely be back!
Cal Poly Graduation
We wanted a relaxed, affordable place to stay when we all came for my sons graduation from Cal Poly. We had 8 of us in the townhouse and we had some more family stay right next door at the Inn at Morro Bay. We had big dinners at the townhouse and really enjoyed staying at a home for this special event. Everything was clean and comfortable. It's decorated so cute and the owner was very helpful with information about the area and directions to different places.
Darla Kenworthy, Encino CA
October is absolutely gorgeous here! So much to do, we want to come back next Fall break or maybe our long December break. We walked across the street to the Morro Bay golf course and couldn't believe it was a public course, it felt like playing Pebble Beach. Exploring Paso Robles wineries and kayaking were probably the highlight for me. And, seeing the turkeys walking down the street in front of the house...hysterical! Can't wait to come back.
Bob and Linda Flynn, San Francisco
Summer Escape
My husband and I have stayed for 3 consecutive summers at the Fortner vacation home. Escaping the heat of summer in Morro Bay is such a welcome relief. It feels like our second home and we have had our daughter and grandkids come stay with us for a few weekends during our summer's here. Looking forward to our stay coming up in July!

The new neutral, this color of spice, fruit, and Gaugin's island oasis is an antidote to all the cool blues and grays of the past few years. Like a cold glass of juice, the color of a Buddhist monk's robes suddenly seems just right.
The graphic punch of Hable Construction's orange mum pillow is a great way to bring a dose of this uplifting color into your home without a major overhaul.

I am developing a course in streaming for the Web. It is for a Bachelor of Journalism program. I have the technology down fairly well but here is the problem. As a part of a degree program there is supposed to be a theoretical base to some of the work. Does anyone know of any research into multimedia from a theoretical perspective? I have searched high and low: there is a lot of research into multimedia as a means of education but not much into multimedia itself.
As an alternative has anyone read/heard anything about the business case for multimedia?
Interesting post that puts a LOT of weight on eye-tracking. Ooh shiney. I'm not sure how the author concludes that if his statistics aren't valid (sample size = 12) somehow the eye tracking results by themselves are significant.
Other thoughts?
I wrote an article recently exploring the potential pitfalls of designers who also do IA (in this case, wireframes) and I'd love some feedback. I'm also interested in adding more before-and-after examples if anyone is willing to share.

Black Cats tie up Cisse deal
22 Aug 2008 - 07:47:16
Sunderland have bolstered their strikeforce with the signing of former Liverpool frontman Djibril Cisse on a season-long loan deal from Marseille.
The 27-year-old France international will sign a permanent contract if he impresses with the Black Cats, with manager Roy Keane excited by the arrival of Cisse.
He told the club's official website: "This signing shows our ambitions and intentions.
"We're delighted with the new faces we've brought in, we've been working hard all summer to significantly improve the squad.
"The signing of Djibril shows how far this club has moved on since the end of last season. His experience will bring a lot to the squad and he will hopefully add some goals to the side."
Cisse himself added: "I'm really pleased to join a good club with good players.
"Sunderland is a club I think is going to achieve things, they have big ambitions, that's why I chose to come here. I liked what the club had to say to me."
Cisse moved to England for the first time in the summer of 2004, costing Liverpool £14million when he signed from Auxerre.
He scored 24 times in 78 appearances for the Reds, before heading back to France to link up with Marseille.

Art Historian Aidan Bell and student Collista Carson can't stand each other. Yet for some reason, he asks her to be his new assistant. Although doubtful that they can co-exist without killing each other, Collista has her grade in his class to think about and so accepts the position. One thing leads to another, and before long, the two are finding it hard to maintain their professional distance.
Then the specter of Aidan's murky past casts its shadow over the forbidden relationship. Add a priceless painting, a ruthless art collector and soon Collista finds herself in the position of having to help Aidan solve a mystery before he goes down for the count. Will he have enough time to teach her what she needs to know about the art of the steal?

Um, yes, I'm excited to see where this will go, especially when it involves a Toccara lookalike, because she is fantastic and fierce, yes. I do have a weak spot for semi-forbidden romances, and this one appears right up my alley!
Author's Response:
LOL! I'm so glad you're excited.
I adore Toccara, and to me, she was the perfect Collista. I had no one else in mind. Full figured, sexy and gorgeous.
Then we have a shared sisterhood as I love semi-forbidden romantic relationships, too. I'm gonna try my darnest to do your expections justice.
Thanks for reviewing.

I think girlfriend has more self-control than I do...and I'll just leave it at that! lol Slow on the uptake but quick to do something about it is Collista. I wonder if Bell will let her!
Author's Response:
Lmao! Bana, I believe from the comments I've read that Collista has more self-control than all of us put together.
You make me laugh! Poor Collista. She was soooo clueless to Aidan's feelings and her own as well.
Hmmm, Bell is torn, doesn't want to feel the way he does but there's no telling if he has the stamina to go the distance and resist once Collista gets on his...trail? lol
Thanks for reviewling!
Date: 02/28/09 Title: Chapter 1: Characters
Um, stamina...I'm sure he has plenty...*wipes away drool*
Author's Response:
L.M.A.O!!! Bana, you've made my day. Oh boy, I think Aidan has stamina and then some to spare. *glances around and wipes away own drool* Lol!
Thanks for the laugh and the review.
Date: 03/02/09 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter Four
Mean. And you know why you're mean. It was just getting GOOD and he had to go be all HONORABLE. How DARE he! And she let him? They both grown! Lawdamercy! I can't wait until they both say "bump" it and "bump beauties" (not uglies, because they two fine people right there!)
Great update!
Author's Response:
And here I thought I was being nice. *throws self on the floor and has a fit* Truly, I was givin' y'all a little sumthin' sumthin' to tide you guys over. Oh well mission not accomplished in my case. :-O
I just can't help it though. I adore Aidan for fighting his feelings. Now, Bana, don't you think Collista's playing her cards close to that big chest of hers for a reason? Haste makes waste. Or somethin' like that. lmao
Now that the situation is out in the open, it's gonna bemhard for these two, especially Bell, since he now knows he can have what he wants. Collista seems pretty sure about what she wants and how to go about getting it, or is she?
And I agree. These two are too sexy and pretty for their own good. We'll see what comes of it.
Thanks for reviewing.

Date: 04/29/09 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter Six
Yay! Consummation! I understand Aidan's dilemma, but dude...you're not taking advantage of her. There are rules like that in place because people abuse their positions of power. You aren't. But at some point, gotta wonder if your feelinsg for her are worth your position. You can always transfer, right? Anyway, I'm glad Collista finally got some lovin'--big girls represent!
Author's Response:
LOL, Bana. You know Aidan's anal and over thinks things a bit. I'm wondering if his past has more to do with his reluctance to get involved with her than he's letting on.
Yeah, he could always transfer. This is a one-horse town though with one university, so it may have to be some place entirely different. Maybe Northwestern. It's a bigger university, but that might be exactly what he's trying to avoid.
I'm relieved that Collista finally got her man, too.
Thanks for reviewing.

I really really really feel bad for Jacob. I need him to do better; I need him to be the man his wife saw in him and the man his children so desperately need him to be. I need this to happen because I see a lot of myself in him, actually, and my own family situation. So...if that could happen that would be great.
I think Nikolai's solution is actually quite brilliant. I'm not under and delusions this will be the fire Jacob needs to get his act together, but it's a start. I'm wondering if this relationship could last beyond the five years, with him and Sunshine, that the foundation of it hadn't already been so tainted that there's some Stockholm Syndrome going on here for there's certainly an imbalance of actual power, even though Nikolai loves her...I think. Too cloudy.

I just want Sunny to be happy in all aspects of her life. *hugs the Joneses*

This is the best BB cream I have ever used. I have some uneven skin tone around my chin area and this cream worked wonders. I would definitely purchase the full size. I put this on before I apply my makeup and to be honest once you put this cream on you don't even need foundation that's how amazing it is. Definitely recommend this!
5I only used my sample when I wanted to do a full face of make up. This along with my normal foundation made my skin look wonderful. I'm definitely thinking about purchasing the full size because I'm running out of the sample. Its lasted so long, you don't need much for your face and it makes such a difference with coverage!

NMSU Football hires David Elson as Defensive Coordinator
POSTED: Wednesday, January 4, 2012 - 4:47pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, January 4, 2012 - 10:40pm
New Mexico State football head coach DeWayne Walker announced early Wednesday evening that David Elson has been hired as the Aggies' new defensive coordinator.
"We are very excited to have Coach Elson coming on board here at NM State," Walker said. "We see everything very much the same when it comes to schematics and philosophies on the defensive side of the ball. I'm confident that Coach Elson will work hard to improve the defensive side of our football team."
"I couldn't be more excited for the opportunity to work with someone with the background like Coach Walker has," Elson said. "I have followed his career over the years since the first time we met when he was with the Washington Redskins. To be a part of the turnaround at New Mexico State going into the fourth year under Coach Walker, it obviously starts with defense. Coach Walker and I share a lot of common beliefs and I feel this is a great fit and I can't wait to get started."
Elson most recently was the defensive coordinator at Franklin-Simpson High School in Franklin, Ky., as he helped the Wildcats to the Class 4A state championship game in 2011, while his defense allowed 16.5 points per game.
In 2010, Elson was the Defensive Quality Control Coordinator at Indiana University.
Elson served as head coach at Western Kentucky for seven seasons, guiding the Hilltopper football team through the transition to the Football Bowl Subdivision. WKU began the move in 2007, and became a full-fledged FBS member in 2009.
Elson was named the school's head football coach, March 5, 2003, after serving as defensive coordinator for WKU's 2002 NCAA I-AA national championship team. He replaced Jack Harbaugh, who retired after 14 years at the helm of the program. He was the longest-tenured assistant on Harbaugh's staff, working seven years on the Hill with defensive backs, the last two as defensive coordinator.
At the time of his hiring, Elson was the youngest head coach in Division I football. He won 39 games during his seven seasons at the helm, and was part of 100 total victories over 14 seasons on the Hilltopper staff. Prior to making the move the FBS, WKU advanced to the NCAA 1-AA playoffs on six occasions – including a string of five straight appearances from 2000-04.
While the Toppers became eligible for the Sun Belt Conference Championship and a bowl berth beginning in 2009, Elson experienced plenty of success in his 14 years at WKU. The Hilltoppers finished with a winning record in 12 of those seasons, and claimed the 2002 NCAA Division I-AA National Championship while winning Ohio Valley and Gateway Football Conference titles in 2000 and 2002, respectively. Elson was the defensive coordinator on the 2002 National Championship team. WKU advanced to postseason play two more times after he was named head coach.
Not only did the Hilltoppers reach the top spot in the national polls twice during the 2005 season, they posted top-15 finishes following both the 2003 and 2004 campaigns. That included finishing seventh at the end of his initial season, after he matched the legendary E.A. Diddle for the most victories by a WKU first-year head coach after leading the Toppers to a 9-4 record while helping the Hilltoppers advance to the quarterfinals of the NCAA playoffs. The following year, Elson was a finalist for the 2005 Eddie Robinson national Coach of the Year Award after guiding WKU to a 9-3 finish, including a 6-1 mark in the Gateway Football Conference, despite losing 25 seniors from his first squad.
Although he started as a defensive backs coach and served as defensive coordinator in 2001 and 2002 prior to his promotion, Elson has proven he can win relying on both sides of the ball while building a solid special teams unit.
Prior to WKU, Elson served as a graduate assistant coach in 1994 and 1995 at Southern Illinois while earning a master's degree in education. He is a 1994 graduate of Butler, where he was a three-year letter winner and started at strong safety his final two seasons. The Bulldogs were conference champions in both his sophomore and junior years.
A native of Indianapolis, Elson and his wife Kathy have three daughters, Lauren, Jessica and Maggie.

by Martin
Excellent knife which is easy to sharpen as it has a nice stuff blade. I had no problem speed chopping food as the blade goes through everything with minimal effort. I thought that the sheath was a nice touch - handy since it doesn't fit in my cutlery tray. If I were still working in catering I would buy a few of these!

"boss of the kitchen
by Gwen Evans
Great weight, good balance, rocks nicely which means it chops well. This is a big grown-up knife. Never put it in the washing up bowl if you don't like the sight of blood because it's very, very sharp. Slices even rock hard salamis to a sliver.

"Comfortable to use, sharp and not too heavy.
by Ms Paul
Decided we're proper grown ups (now we've been married ten years with three children) and deserve 'proper' knives to replace supermarket ones.Chose this range due to guarantee, and the fact that they felt well balanced, handle can't fall off (!) + not as heavy as others in store. Fantastically sharp, accidentally sliced through wrapping choc bar was resting on when chopping for a cake! No pressure needed, the knife seems to be so sharp it just slides right through everything we throw at it! The guard clicks on securely, and the silver and black looks good too.Really pleased with our choice.
