Gazing at the Beloved
Just as archers fix their gaze upon a distant target before loosing the strings of their bows and sending their arrows flying, so do lovers of God fix their gaze on the face of God, each releasing the soul so it too can fly toward its target where it celebrates its homecoming. All spiritual paths teach us that if we want to find God, then we need to turn directly toward God, come face-to-face with the energies of the Divine, and then surrender to whatever begins to occur as a result of the impact that such an encounter creates in our lives. But where do we turn? And where exactly is it that we find the face of the Divine? Is it everywhere? Or in one particular location only? And can perhaps a particular location, a particular face, serve as the doorway to the face of God?
One way to look upon the face of God is to create an image of God, either a painting or a sculpture, and then gaze at the image for an extended period of time. This practice can be found in the Greek Orthodox Church where icons of saints and personages from the Bible are the only companions that monks and nuns take with them into the isolation of their cells during long periods of retreat.
When one fixes his or her entire attention on these images over long hours and days, the images may come to life and enter into animated dialogue with the practitioner. Many devout Hindus create personal shrines in their homes and temples in which images of a god or goddess serve as the means for personal dialogue with the Divine. It is said that the eyes of these images are the most important of all the facial features, for by creating eye contact with the image a devotee achieves darshan, a sanskrit word meaning "seeing and being seen by God."
Miniature Reflections of God
Most of our spiritual traditions tell us that, as humans, we are miniature reflections of God and that we have been created in God's image. If this is so, then it would follow that a more direct way to look upon the face of God would be to sit and gaze at an actual person, a real flesh-and-blood human. If he or she will sit and hold your gaze in return, something begins to transpire between the two of you. If you can truly see another and be seen by the other, you begin to see that he or she is an embodiment of the Divine, and you begin to feel that you are as well.
In India, darshan often occurs in formal settings between teachers and their students. Teachers may sit at the front of a room, perhaps on a slightly raised dais so that no one's view will be obstructed. They may sit silently, pouring out their gazing, inviting students to meet their eyes and to hold contact with their gaze. This contact allows the Divine to enter their students' awareness. In the words of Ramana Maharshi, one of the great Indian teachers of the twentieth century and one of the great givers of darshan, "When the eyes of the student meet the gaze of the teacher, words of instruction are no longer necessary."
Why gazing at another person and having him or her hold your gaze in return can open both participants to a direct experience of the Divine is a mystery. All of us, whether we're consciously aware of it or not, know about this practice from a very early age. School children will often enter into staring contests during which their conventional experience of self is momentarily suspended to accommodate the new and unusual energies that the visual contact between them generates. A common response to the dramatic shift in awareness that prolonged eye contact triggers is to burst into laughter, and so the contest ends with both of the children being the true winners, with smiles on their faces.
As we mature and need to become strong individuals, separate from the whole, we tend to avoid eye contact when we speak to others, for if we did hold the other's gaze we might find it difficult to remain focused on the information that we're trying to convey, melting instead into a shared sense of wordless union with the person to whom we're speaking. Only when real love forms the basis of our communication with another do we find it more natural to hold and soften into our partner's gaze.
Because the eyes are universally acknowledged to be the windows to the soul, when we hold the gaze of another, we hold and cradle his or her soul. This most intimate of acts is reserved as a privilege for people who love and trust one another. Newborn children are natural adepts at the practice and are often able to draw their parents into gazing at them for long periods of time. People newly in love may find that they automatically fall into gazing at each other as a natural expression of the love that they feel. In fact, this unintentional and spontaneous dissolving into the eyes of the other is often the signal that, at long last, they have finally found the beloved for whom they've been searching. When describing this newfound love, people will often rejoice that, finally, they have met someone who truly sees them as they are.
When eye contact between two people is initiated and maintained, an invisible energetic circuit is established between the two participants, dissolving the barriers that ordinarily separate them from each other, drawing them ever closer into a shared awareness of union. This experience of union is always pervaded by the feeling tone of love, just as the experience of separation from others, as well as from the larger world we inhabit, tends to breed feelings of fear and alienation. However, we live in a culture that worships the individual and that is embarrassed by joint forays into the Divine, into the great ground of being that is our heritage and true birthright as humans on this planet. In our culture, this most natural of actions, the holding of the gaze between two people, is taboo. And, yet, how tragic it is that we turn away from this heritage, forfeiting our birthright in an act of fear.

But Hezbollah's flagrant support for Assad's regime which stands accused by much of the international community of war crimes has angered many Arabs.
The presenter of a political show on Future TV, owned by Sunni Lebanese leader Saad Hariri, went on a 15-minute rant against Hezbollah this week, accusing its leader of "hypocrisy" in calling for the anti-film protests while remaining silent over Assad's deliberate destruction of mosques in Syria and killings of his Muslim countrymen.
Sheik Assir, speaking at the rally Friday, took a jibe at the Hezbollah protests without naming the group, saying it was shameful that posters of the "butcher" Assad were held up during Lebanese protests against the anti-Islam movie.
In remarks earlier this week, he accused Hezbollah "exploiting" the movie to recover some of the group's lost popularity and accused Nasrallah of trying to "snatch" leadership of the Islamic world.
"Why didn't Sheikh Nasrallah do anything when the prophets of freedom were martyred in Syria?" he asked.
Assir's rapid rise and growing following are symptoms of the deep frustration among Lebanon's Sunnis who resent the Hezbollah-led Shiite ascendancy in Lebanon.
The 44-year-old, bespectacled, skinny cleric with a long beard typical of hardline Sunnis was previously little known, a preacher at the Bilal Bin Rabah Mosque in Sidon. Now he is openly challenging and taunting Hezbollah like few have dared before, even taking aim at Nasrallah, a revered figure usually considered a red line in Lebanon.
Sunni bitterness still runs deep over clashes in May 2008, when Hezbollah gunmen swept through Sunni neighborhoods in Beirut after the pro-Western government of that time tried to dismantle the group's crucial telecommunications network. More than 80 people were killed in those clashes.
Moreover, a U.N.-backed special tribunal has accused four Hezbollah members in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, Lebanon's most powerful Sunni leader. Hezbollah says the tribunal is a tool of Israel and the West.
Hezbollah still is Lebanon's single most influential player with considerable support among Shiites and unprecedented political clout. It holds a dominant role in Beirut's government and the prime minister is an ally, after the fall of the previous government sidelined Hezbollah's opponents, the U.S.- and Western-backed factions led by Hariri's son, Saad. As a result, its extensive arsenal of weapons and rockets is virtually untouchable for the moment.
Jihad Bahlo, a 23-year-old salesman in a Beirut clothing shop, said differences between Shiites and Sunnis are largely over politics, and that followers of the two sects often get on well on a personal level. A Sunni, he said his co-workers included Shiites and Christians, and no one discussed politics at work "because we are sick of it."
However, Sunnis tend to be fearful of Hezbollah's military might, said Bahlo, who is from a Sunni village in the predominantly Shiite Bekaa Valley.

what is DH is some posts....not a plant qustion....lol
I read alot of posts and I see "my Dh bought this for me" etc, what is DH??
Wow, I can't believe I googled "What does DH mean?" and actually got the answer!! I have been reading on the Garden Web for awhile and DH kept coming up. Of course all I could think of was Dumb Husband, ha. Surely, not all women think that way. :) Glad to know that the D means Dear, although some days I do think the other. :) Thanks for the answer.
It can also mean "darn husband". Context varies as needed based on behavior of the DH and also based on the whim of the DH's wife.
ronalawn or any other men, feel free to use DW to refer to your wife anytime - it works the same way. There's also DD and DS (darling - or whatever - daughter and son, respectively).
Now DC - would that always be d*mn computer?! ;)
I use it to mean De Facto Husband because I've been with my partner for 10 years, although we're not legally married. It sounds nicer than my domestic partner (which sounds clinical), or my boyfriend (which makes me feel like we're teenagers), or worse still, my mother calls him my "mate" like we're sailors or animals. Ick!
Wow, who knew there were so many variations! Love the imaginations! KaKe you must have to explain your meaning....DeFacto Husband. I agree with you......I just call my guy My Sweetie. SO which is Significant Other sounds awful, as does Boyfriend. I've seen Main Man used, not sure he would like that one either.
Dumb Housewife?? LOL I wonder what kind of responses, rebuttals you're going to ge tsorfanosaj!
You know, I've been wondering what "DH" meant, but I never thought to ask! I've just assumed that it was actually somebody's initials or something. Though I really like "Damn Hillbilly"!
For the record, there is another common abbreviation here on Gardenweb, and I had wondered what it meant until somebody actually posted the question "What is a noid?" Turns out that it's short for "no identification" (as in "unidentified"), and is often spelled "NoID."
FYI, acronyms are rediculously popular nowadays, due to the increasing usage of text-messaging.
And don't forget the smileys!
LMAO at the rediculousness of it all....
Here is a link that might be useful: Acronym dictionary
I, too, googled "What is a DH?", feeling very silly and sure I'd never find an answer... I have to add, however, that the title of the thread ("Not a plant question") has gained additional irony in the time elapsed since it was originally written - just the other day, one of my kids used the expression, "Are you a PLANT!?!" to indicate that someone was utterly clueless. Ah, the evolution of linguistics!
When I googled "DH" the first thing that popped up was Di** Head. The site that I was looking at before I googled it was a chat about what to do for fireants in the garden. The consensus was human urine works the best. But everyone was joking about not squatting over the ant hill, just having their DH do it. Made sense...
Wow, love the responses. I just keep seeing people post things with DH and thought I'd google it. I am so glad I did, it's been informative and hilarious. And by the way, I actually think I fall into the age group of people who should have known that, so oops...
Acronym Finder has 83 hit at DH - Definition by AcronymFinder. I don't think that #83, Drunk Husband, has been reported here.

This is the Okanogan Forest fire in central WA state.
Felaine, re: Rare Florida forest set to be leveled for a Walmart and Chik-fil-A, I wonder if Walmart and Chik-fil-A are aware of the rising ocean? Wouldn't that be a great joke on them if they got flooded out. I hope no one sells them sea level rise insurance. They should accept all the risk, not the people who pay the bills when things go wrong. But a tragedy to squander such a forest on stuff and junk.
However, the smoke is dreadful!. The Okanogan Forest is in the middle of the state. Spokane is very near the Idaho border in eastern Washington state. The prevailing winds come from the west. However, with these variable winds, Williwaw". This is the correct spelling. Our situation doesn't fit the definition of
"In meteorology, a williwaw is a sudden blast of wind descending from a mountainous coast to the sea. The word is of unknown origin, but was earliest used by British seamen in the 19th century. The usage appears for winds found in the Strait of Magellan, the Aleutian Islands and the coastal fjords of the Alaskan Panhandle, where the terms outflow wind and squamish wind are also used for the same phenomenon."
Ruth, no, the Spokane area isn't close to the Okanogan Valley where all those fires are burning. We do have close fire allegedly started by three men in a yellow pick-up shooting off explosives. The wind is like what my grandmother called a "Willowa", winds that shift and come from all directions. I can't find it by Googling, and I may have misspelled it. However, that is exactly what is happening.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 283,158, filed July 14, 1981, abandoned.
This invention relates to an electronically controlled land vehicle as well as to a method of control of said vehicle.
The land vehicles considered in the following specification are of the type comprising at least one pair of driving side-wheels, each of which can be subjected to independent driving action.
It is a known practice to guide land vehicles by independent adjustment of the positive or negative torque applied to the side wheels. To this end, each driving wheel is coupled to a variable-speed electric motor, the torque applied by said motor being adjusted by the driver who produces suitable action on a guiding member such as a hand lever. The driver is able at any moment to select the torque applied to each wheel, either in order to obtain the desired changes in direction of travel and speed of his vehicle or in order to maintain the vehicle on a given course, whether the course is straight or curved. Devices of this type and the mode of driving a vehicle which they entail are subject to various disadvantages since the driver is obliged to intervene personally by correcting any change of course arising from circumstances beyond his control. For example, any change in transverse slope or camber of a roadway produces a change in course which has to be corrected. Similarly, any obstacle encountered by a single wheel or any zone of lower adhesion produces the same effect. Furthermore, if the vehicle has one or two freely orientable wheels (such as the non-guided front wheel of a three-wheeled vehicle, for example), the position of said wheel or wheels is unknown to the driver and may interfere with the course of the vehicle. The correction to be made can only take place after the driver has noticed an unexpected deviation of his vehicle from its course. This effect is particularly marked during operations involving successive changes of direction. Corrective steps taken by the driver as a result of perception, thought and action have the effect of introducing a time-delay which is in no way conducive to accurate and reliable driving.
The present invention is directed to a novel design of vehicle which is unaffected by disturbances such as those mentioned in the foregoing, as well as to a method of control which is applicable to a vehicle of this type.
According to a first aspect of the invention, the electronically controlled land vehicle comprises at least one pair of side wheels driven by respective electronic motors, means for imparting an individual driving action to each wheel of said pair, and a source of electrical energy. The vehicle is essentially equipped with a computer associated with a reference clock and connected on the one hand to a control unit so as to receive course-changing and speed-changing instructions and on the other hand to devices for detecting the relative positions of the stationary and moving portions of the respective driving wheels, and finally elements for controlling the respective wheel motors in order to transmit to said elements orders for initiating an exchange of energy with the respective wheels in order to impart to said wheels a differential acceleration which is intended to ensure compliance with the course-changing and speed-changing instructions.
When no action is produced on the control unit, the computer actuates the vehicle wheels either in a symmetrical or in a differential manner in order to ensure compliance with a course and a speed corresponding to a prior instruction. This action has the effect of guarding against accidental deviations caused by various hazards without making it necessary for the driver to observe such deviations.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the computer comprises a number of programming units corresponding to the number of driving wheels and said units are connected to each other by means of connection lines for transfer of data between said units.
In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the wheel motors are variable-reluctance motors each having a toothed rotor in cooperating relation with a toothed stator fitted with windings connected to a source of electrical energy via switching elements connected to the programming unit for transmitting pulses of predetermined intensity and duration to said windings.
In order to determine the intensity, the vehicle comprises a scanner for determining the intensity of each pulse delivered to the motor. Said scanner is connected to a stage for making a comparison with a reference value of the intensity produced by the computation stage.
The reference value of pulse intensity is determined by the computer as a function of the measured real speed and of the desired speed. As a function of the comparison of intensities, the computer modulates the pulse-chopping in order to make the real intensity equal to the reference intensity.
For the comparison of speeds, the vehicle is advantageously equipped in addition with a device for detecting the relative positions of the stationary and moving portions of each wheel; this stage is connected to the programming unit which determines the phase difference between a reference position of the motor and the start of the electrical pulse within the windings.
The computer adjusts said phase difference in order to define low-speed or high-speed operation, or a brake application adapted to either low speed or high speed.
According to a second aspect of the invention, the method of controlling a vehicle with a view in particular to ensuring that a vehicle having at least one pair of independent driving side-wheels negotiates a given curve, means being provided for imparting an individual driving action to each wheel, is distinguished by the fact that the vehicle is caused to make a turn by producing a predetermined difference in acceleration between the wheels of any one pair, the greatest acceleration being imparted to the wheel located on the outside of a road bend or curve. This difference is maintained until the radius of curvature of the path of travel of the vehicle corresponds to that of the circular portion of the curve to be negotiated, whereupon the accelerations imparted to the wheels are maintained until an increase is produced in the radius of curvature corresponding to the exit end of the curve.
Other features of the invention will be more apparent upon consideration of the following description and accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is an exploded schematic view in perspective showing a vehicle according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a part-sectional side view of a wheel, this being taken along line II--II of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line III--III of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a diagram of the electrical connections of the vehicle;
FIG. 5 is a sectional view of the control unit, this view being taken along line V--V of FIG. 1;
FIG. 6 is a schematic representation of an electrical pulse;
FIG. 7 is a pulse waveform diagram which will serve to explain the operation of the invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, a vehicle is carried by a pair of driving wheels 1 and an orientable tricycle wheel 2. The vehicle wheels 1 are driving wheels and each comprise a toothed rotor 3 in cooperating relation with a stator 4 which is rigidly fixed to the vehicle (as shown in FIG. 2) and provided with windings in order to constitute a variable-reluctance synchronous motor. The number of stator commutations per wheel revolution is relatively high, namely a few tens to a few hundreds.
The windings of the stator 4 are connected to a battery 5 by means of a changeover switch 6 which, in the example herein described, is constituted by thyristors controlled from a programming unit 7 which is associated with a clock-pulse generator 8 by means of lines 9.
The vehicle wheels 1 are also equipped with detection elements consisting of a predetermined number of photoelectric cells 11 attached to the stator and adapted to cooperate with teeth 12 formed on the rotor (as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3) in order to detect the relative positions of the stator and of the rotor.
Said photoelectric cells are connected by means of a pulse-reshaping stage 13 (FIG. 4) to a detection stage 14 which measures the time intervals between the pulses emitted by the photoelectric cells and which also detects the direction of rotation of the wheel 1 by virtue of the fact that the number of photoelectric cells is greater than one.
These data relating to time intervals and direction of travel are transmitted to the programming unit 7 in digital form respectively via the lines 15 and 16.
A control unit 17 (shown in FIGS. 1 and 5) comprises a level 18 which can be inclined in all directions and the end of which is adapted to carry a lamp 19 so arranged as to illuminate an array 21 of photoelectric cells. It is apparent that the differential illumination of the photoelectric cells will be modified according to the direction of slope given to the lever 18 (forward, backward, to the left, to the right) and according to the angle of slope, and that the resultant signal will define both a direction of travel and an acceleration. The vehicle direction signal will correspond to different acceleration instruction signals transmitted respectively to the programming unit 7 and to a similar unit (not shown) which is connected to the other wheel in accordance with an arrangement similar to that of FIG. 4. A connection line 22 between said two units permits data transfer between these latter which are combined to form a computer.
The information relating to direction of travel arrives at the programming unit 7 via a detection stage 23 whilst the acceleration information passes through an analog-digital converter 24.
Starting from these data, the programming unit 7 determines a reference value of intensity of the pulses delivered to the stator and applies this value to a comparison stage 25 which compares said value to the real intensity measured by a scanner 26.
A connection line 27 serves to transmit the information relating to the result of said comparison to the programming unit 7. Depending on the direction of these results, the mode of operation of the thyristors is modified via the lines 9. It is in fact apparent that the mean intensity Im (FIG. 6) during a pulse 28 depends on the instants 29 of turn-on of the thyristors during said pulse.
The data relating to the instants of turn-on of the thyristors are transmitted to the detection stage 14 via a connection line 31, with the result that the stage 14 is enabled to determine the phase difference between the start of a pulse 28 and the instant at which the wheel passes through a reference position, said instant being defined by one of the photoelectric cells 11.
In more precise terms, the square-wave signal D (FIG. 7) emitted by the photoelectric cell is such that the leading edge of the pulse or rising amplitude of said pulse takes place when a tooth 32 of the rotor passes exactly in front of a tooth 33 of the stator (as shown in FIG. 7C).
The phase-difference information thus produced is transmitted to the programming unit 7 via a connection line 34. As a function of the instruction signals received from the control unit 17, the programming unit 7 modifies the phase difference in order to comply with this instruction.
Under conditions of low-speed forward travel, for example, the pulse is delivered at the instant t1 when the tooth 32 of the rotor enters the zone of attraction of the stator (position A). At high speeds, triggering of the thyristors is advanced to a predetermined extent (position B) by turning-on at the instant t2.
Low-speed braking action is obtained by turning-on at the instant t3 when the tooth 32 is in position C in order to ensure that this latter is retained by attraction of the stator tooth 33. At high speeds, braking action will be produced by turning-on at the instant t4, with a predetermined advance (position D).
In practice, the advances mentioned in the foregoing are produced in the form of a time-lag with respect to the leading edge of the signal D, for example by means of monostable devices.
The programming unit 7 further comprises a memory 35 having modifiable contents in which are stored a certain number of permanent instructions and especially safety instructions such as speed limits or a limiting radius of curvature of the vehicle path as a function of the speed.
During operation, the driver gives an instruction relating to a change in speed and direction of travel by means of the control unit 17, then returns this unit to the neutral position. From this instant, the programming unit 7 and the unit associated with the other wheel will ensure compliance with these instructions in spite of hazards on the path of the vehicle and without any need for intervention by the driver.
For example, if a change occurs in the slope of the roadway, the computer will modify the power transmitted to the vehicle wheels as soon as it records a tendency towards a variation in speed. The same applies to the course or direction of travel. If the instruction corresponds to a straight line, any incipient deviation caused for example by unevenness of the ground will result in unequal speeds of the wheels 1. This difference in speed recorded by the computer will produce a differential acceleration of the wheels which will tend to re-establish a straight course instantaneously.
The role of the driver is limited solely to that of modifying the reference values whenever he so desires.
In the case of a curved path of vehicle travel, the action which consists in tilting the operating level 18 has the effect of producing a differential acceleration of the vehicle wheels and consequently of producing a path of increasing curvature as long as the lever remains inclined. Once the lever has been restored to the neutral position, the radius of curvature of the path of travel remains constant. In order to return to a straight path, the operating lever must be tilted or inclined in the other direction in order to subject the vehicle wheels to a differential acceleration in the opposite direction which tends to reduce the curvature.
In an alternative embodiment, the control unit 17 can consist of a stationary handle which is responsive to the pressure exerted, by means of strain gages.
In the embodiment disclosed, the computer comprises following Motorola processors:
MC 6802 (central unit MPU)
MCM 2708 (EPROM memory)
MC 6821 (PIA interface circuit)
MC 6840 (timer).
The program which is stored in EPROM memory is listed in assembler language in the following pages. ##SPC1##

JoJo and the Whales - don't get your hopes up !
This isn't really a tourist trap, and it gives me no pleasure in passing on this info, but I think it's only fair to do so.
JoJo the Dolphin is used in alot of tourist literature and was a dolphin who reportedly preferred humans to his own pod, and could be seen swimming with boats and snorkellers around Grace Bay. However, sadly since the hurricanes of last year, JoJo has not been seen, and one can only assume the worst.
Also, many companies on Provo used to run whale watching trips and still advertise them, but the tourist board will no longer give licences to tour operators to run such trips due to the lack of whales in the Provo area.
If whale watching is your thing, you need to go to one of the more Eastern islands.
Fun Alternatives: Don't worry, there are still plenty of things to swim with.Related to:
- Whale Watching
Stick to the beaches
The temptation when you visit a new place is always to explore, and falling in to this trap we decided to hire a car for the day and explore Providenciales = Big Mistake.
The highlight of staying on Provo is Grace Bay, which is where most the hotels are. So why go looking for something else you might ask ? Beats me actually !
Driving around the island you will see nothing better, and even if you do, you won't be able to get anywhere near it due to construction work. The island itself is not very picturesque, and due to all the development there is dust everywhere and hardly anywhere where you can park and get access to the beaches.
If you want to go to the Conch farm and perhaps go horse riding or something then maybe it's worth it, but we were left wishing we hadn't bothered and had spent the day on the beach instead like most sane people had.
We also got a really crappy car whose key wouldn't come out of the ignition, which didn't help matters, but that's another story.
Unique Suggestions: If you want to have a look around then feel free, but take it from me, all the real attractions are either on the beach or in the sea, so why go looking for something that ain't there.
If you are going to hire a car, book it in advance.
We didn't, and paid the price by getting something that looked like it had been pulled out of the sea by a fishing boat.
Fun Alternatives: Top Tip = To see these islands from a different perspective, take a flight to one of the neighbouring islands, chill out for the day, and then catch the plane back again.
We flew from North Caicos to Providenciales with Air Turks and Caicos for $40.00 each, and the views were fantastic.Related to:

2 SoCon (2013–2014)
SoCon Coach of the Year (2013)(2014)
Russell Frederick "Russ" Huesman (born January 28, 1960)[1] is an American football coach and former player. He is the current head football coach, as well as an alumnus, of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC). He took over as the 22nd head coach of the Chattanooga Mocs football team on December 22, 2008.[2] The Mocs compete in the Football Championship Subdivision in Division I as members of the Southern Conference (SoCon Conference).
Playing career[edit]
A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Huesman played prep football at perennial power Moeller High School, where he lettered for four years under head coach Gerry Faust. He helped Moeller's team compile a record of 43–0–1 and win a pair of Ohio state championships.
An all-city selection in football as a senior, Huesman signed a football scholarship with Chattanooga, where he started all four years as a defensive back (1978–1981) and was a two-sport athlete. He played under the late Joe Morrison for two years and competed his final two seasons under Bill Oliver. Huesman also patrolled center field on the baseball field for the Mocs during his freshman and junior seasons. During his playing career at Chattanooga, the Mocs posted a 31–11–2 mark and were Southern Conference co-champions in his freshman and sophomore seasons.
Coaching career[edit]
Huesman began his coaching career as a student coach for University of Tennessee at Chattanooga during the 1982 season. He followed that up with a move to the University of South Carolina as a graduate assistant under Morrison.
The College of William and Mary (1984-1997)[edit]
Huesman than began a 14 year stretch at William & Mary and was the Tribe's defensive coordinator for the 1996–97 seasons. During his tenure with the Tribe, Huesman coached current NFL star Darren Sharper, who led a defense ranked second in the nation, allowing just 231.8 yards per game in 1996. That defensive squad also led the Yankee Conference in total defense and helped power the Tribe to their first conference title since 1970. In 1997, the Tribe defense was third overall in the Atlantic 10 and led the league in pass efficiency defense.
In addition to coordinating the Tribe's defense, Huesman, also coached the William & Mary secondary, a job he took over in 1991. In eight seasons under his direction, the College of William & Mary developed one of the most effective backfields in the nation.
During his time at William & Mary, Huesman also coached Steve Christie, a 15-year NFL place kicker with Tampa Bay, Buffalo, San Diego and the New York Giants. His coaching family tree also includes Alan Williams, the defensive backs coach for the Indianapolis Colts, and Sean McDermott, the secondary coach with the Philadelphia Eagles. Both Williams and McDermott played for Huesman at William & Mary.
University of Memphis (1998-2003)[edit]
Huesman then spent six years at the University of Memphis (1998–2003) where he held several positions, serving as the recruiting coordinator and offensive line coach, before leaving for Richmond. He also coached the outside linebackers, tight ends and running backs. As recruiting coordinator, Huesman brought in a top-50 recruiting class, ranked No. 1 in Conference USA, in 2002. It was the first recruiting class ranked in the top-50 at Memphis in school history.
University of Richmond (2004-2008)[edit]
Huesman then moved on and spent the next five seasons as the defensive coordinator at the University of Richmond, helping guide the Spiders to the 2008 Football Championship Subdivision National Title. The Spiders were known for their "Stonewall Defense," a phrase that was coined by Bruce Dowd of the College Sporting News. Richmond's defense was ranked in the top-15 in the nation in each of the last three seasons under Huesman's guidance.
In 2006, Huesman led an experienced group that allowed just 268.7 yards per game to rank 11th in the nation and second in the conference. Against the pass, the Spiders were the Atlantic-10's most dominant team, yielding an average of 152.8 yards and intercepting a league-best 12 passes. Richmond's front seven ranked fourth in the conference and 21st in the nation against the run, limiting the opposition to just over 115 yards per game on the ground. The Richmond defense allowed the fourth-fewest points in the conference and 22nd fewest in the country (18.1).
In 2007, the Spiders ranked second in the CAA and 15th nationally in sacks per game (2.6), while ranking third in the league and 31st in the NCAA in turnover margin per game (+0.6) in 2007.
In 2008, Richmond's defense ranked in the top-10 in the FCS and was No. 1 in the Colonial Athletic Association in total defense (268.8 yards/game) and scoring defense (15.6 ppg). The Spiders also held 12 different opponents to fewer than 100 yards rushing and less than 20 points. Richmond's 29 interceptions in 2008 beat the school's previous single-season record of 20 set back in 1973.
Huesman's "Stonewall Defense" was most impressive in the 2008 national title game played in Chattanooga. His Spiders held the No. 4 Montana Grizzlies scoreless for three quarters, and just seven points total, in a 24–7 win.
University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (2009-present)[edit]
Huesman was named the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football program's 22nd head coach on December 22, 2008.
Huesman has orchestrated a monumental turnaround over the last five years, including the first conference title since 1984.
Over the first four Seasons with Huesman at the helm the Mocs alternated between 6-5, 6-5, 5-6, 6-5. steadily showing improvement on the field, off the field and in recruiting.
Coach Huesman led Chattanooga to its first SoCon title since 1984 and just its fifth in school history in 2013. He directed the Mocs to an overall record of 8-4, with a 6-2 mark in league play. UTC finished its season as the top defensive squad in the SoCon, leading the conference in scoring defense (20.4) and total defense (328.9).
The Mocs had a number of firsts in 2013, including the most wins ever in SoCon play. The eight wins are the most since 1980 and Chattanooga swept the league's Coach of the Year (Russ Huesman), Offensive Player of the Year (Jacob Huesman) and Defensive Player of the Year (Davis Tull) honors for the first time. The Mocs were nationally ranked for several weeks in 2013, finishing the year in the top 25 in both the FCS Coaches Poll (23) and The Sports Network Poll (21). It was the first time since 1984 that Chattanooga was listed in a year-ending national poll.
Coach Huesman also became just the second UTC head coach be named SoCon Coach of the Year by his peers (Buddy Nix, 1990). Huesman took the honor for the second time, joining Joe Morrison as the only Mocs coaches to win multiple SoCon Coach of the Year honors. He was also a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award as the National Coach of the Year.
The 2014 season saw the Huesman led Mocs build upon the previous season's success. Under Huesman's guidance, Chattanooga claimed an outright Socon Championship, top 8 seed into the FCS Playoffs and gained there first win in the FCS Playoffs in school history.
Since taking over in 2009, Chattanooga is 41-29 under Huesman. It is important to note that his 31 wins in the first. 5 years eclipse the number of wins the Mocs had in the previous nine seasons combined. He has a 30-17 Southern Conference record since taking over the fledgling program.

From a hair strand in a coffee cup to misleading ad portions, here are a few Kippers sharing their food woes.
January 17, 2012 4:22 by Precious de Leon
This Sunday, Kipp published an open letter to the Pizza Hut UAE management from a Kipp reader who had a bad experience ordering a combo meal at one of the chain's branches.
This prompted some of our other readers to share some similar experiences.
One commenter, Mandarin, agreed with the open letter in terms of Pizza Hut's 'questionable' value for money meals. They said:
"Pizza Hut– a major offender… tried their tandoori chicken special on a wednesday — so no excuse of weekend rush!!!! One morsel of chicken for every slice— truly value for money (sic)"
Another reader, Jeena, shared a couple of photos that are enough to put you off coffee for a while. The photos were of her Starbucks coffee, which had a little extra ingredient of hair in it.
Although the photographs were taken two years ago, it's still proves that quality control and service still has a long way to go in the region.
Jeena said:
Yes, it's really sad to see the quality of food decline rapidly. I've lost track of the number of times I've step out to indulge in a guilty pleasure, only to get stale and sometimes cold food. But who can you complain to? Managers rarely ever put customer satisfaction before company policy.
Here are the photos, taken by our reader, Jeena:
And here's a close up:
Another commenter shared his frustration with a couple of chains. John J said he was "fooled big time" by the image in advertisements. He ordered the Shrimp Meal at KFC, which advertised large shrimps, and got what he described as "tiny 2-3cm shrimps".
John J also shares a recent disappointment at the order size of Olivenos, a new offer at Burger King, which he says was no bigger than a one dirham coin.
This reminds Kipp of a video floating around in Youtube of a food make-up artist, showing how to make food look good on camera. You'll see in the video below that it looks good but toxic to eat.

We have to add our two bits to the fast food industry saga. Yesterday we went to the KFC outlet in Nasser Square Deira and ordered a 15 piece meal. The meal prices are no longer displayed. The cashier asked us to pay AED 90.00 for the meal. When we asked for the menu to verify the prices, he refused. He said he would be willing to accept AED 80 for the meal. We insisted we wanted to see the menu. He refused again. in the meantime another cashier gave us the menu card which showed teh meal price to be AED 74 only, which the cashier finally accepted. The cash machine also displayed AED 74 as teh meal amount. This is outrageous as this particular branch of KFC is frequented by a lot of tourists and in the absence of displayed prices, accept the word of the cashier.

FrameStoreRead MoreFrameStore's craftsmen have created more than 250,000 custom frames in the store's 35-year tenure, designing pieces that now adorn the walls of prestigious institutions such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Ritz-Carlton, and the Walt Disney Company. Professional designers guide FrameStore's clients through the 2,200 moulding options that can accent paintings and treasured items while adding style and elegance to rooms. The store's craftsmen then fashion pieces to patron specifications, outfitting frames with classic or museum-quality glass that blocks UV rays from bleaching out images or censoring pictures of the moon. Every piece goes through a 16-point inspection before it is given to patrons, and the team averages a seven-day turnaround on all of its projects.6451 E Pacific Coast Hwy.Long Beach, CA US
Rubber Duck ToursRead MoreRubber Duck Tours traverses both the blue and green portions of the globe to offer guests an amphibious exploration of Long Beach. With this tour, passengers will climb inside The Duck, a hydra-terra vehicle approved by the U.S. Coast Guard for dual-purpose travel. The tour route begins with an exploration of downtown Long Beach, as the tour guide shares the story of Long Beach's rags-to-boats transformation from farming community to port city. From there, The Duck hits the water to glide along the glassy surface of the harbor, with the elevated design of the boat keeping passengers dry, much to the delight of wicked witches and sightseeing housecats. The aqua-portion of the tour includes buoy's-eye views of the Queen Mary and other ships populating the harbor. The tour lasts 1.25 hours, with one-third of the tour spent on the water and two-thirds of the tour spent on land.Shoreline Dr. and Pine Ave.Long Beach, CA US
Pacific Island Ethnic Art MuseumRead MorePIEAM houses a huge assortment of ethnic art from all over Melanesia, Polynesia, Micronesia, and Hypernesia.

Aquarium of the PacificRead MoreAquarium of the Pacific Betty's favorite foods are shrimp, clams, and squid. She's a little over a year old. She has brown hair, and her nickname is "Banshee," because she wails when she doesn't get her way. Named for Aquarium of the Pacific sponsor and legendary actress Betty White, she's a recent addition to the aquarium's BP Sea Otter Habitat. Betty was discovered in early 2012, a mere pup, without a mother. The staff at Aquarium of the Pacific nursed her back to health until October, when she was well enough to join her friends in the otter habitat. The otter habitat is just one of 19 habitats at Aquarium of the Pacific, which also includes 32 focus exhibits celebrating the diverse wildlife of the Pacific Ocean. In the June Keyes Penguin Habitat, more than 12 tuxedo-clad Magellanic penguins waddle around a rocky beach where guests can spy them nesting, eating, and practicing dance routines with Dick van Dyke, and a crawl space below their swimming pool provides a closer look at the birds as they go for a dip. Outside in Shark Lagoon, some 150-plus sand tiger, zebra, and whitetip reef sharks bare their menacing grins. But in the shallow touch pools, gentle bamboo and epaulette sharks discredit stereotypes by allowing visitors to pet them. For those more interested in the science of the sea, the Ocean Science Center helps visitors explore oceanic trends through its Science on a Sphere exhibit. The globe, a creation of the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration, measures six feet in diameter and displays films about subjects such as rising sea levels and the connection between ocean health and human health.100 Aquarium WayLong Beach, CA US
Museum of Latin American ArtRead MoreWhile wandering the Museum of Latin American Art's permanent collection of works?from artists native to 20 Latin American countries?it might come as a surprise that the space was once home to a roller-skating rink and a silent-movie studio. Its transformation into one of the country's only museums dedicated to modern and contemporary Latin American art was the work of physician, philanthropist, and patron of the arts Dr. Robert Gumbiner. He acquired the properties and founded the museum in 1996, revamping the Hippodrome into galleries alive with Latin American music, paintings, and video. Since that time, the museum has doubled in size, adding a 15,000-square-foot sculpture garden and expanding its collection to include masters such as Rufino Tamayo, Roberto Sebasti?n Matta, Los Carpinteros, and Tunga. The site now serves as a beacon of Latin American culture, showcasing artists who made names for themselves in their own countries but may not be well known in the United States. Beyond the eye-catching exhibitions, which have been featured in the Los Angeles Times, the museum offers educational programs and events such as concerts, film showings, and children?s art camps. Each is an outgrowth of the museum?s mission to stimulate the intellect and cultivate an appreciation for Latin America?s contributions to the world of art.628 Alamitos Ave.Long Beach, CA US
Rancho Los Alamitos Museum and FoundationRead MoreRancho Los Alamitos enjoys a spot on the National Register of Historic Places for a couple reasons—the site is the birthplace of the native Tongva people, and it has also played an important role in local history since 1790. That's the year Manuel Nieto took control of a 300,000-acre parcel of land as a reward for serving the Spanish crown on an expedition to California. Over the years, the land saw subdivision—in 1833, it was divvied up among Nieto's heirs into five ranchos, some 25,500 acres becoming Rancho Los Alamitos. Around this time, the Nietos erected a still standing adobe house, most likely for ranch staff and horses. Fast-forward nearly a hundred years and Florence Bixby is cultivating a lush garden. From native plants and cacti to geraniums and roses, her garden incorporated aspects of ranch life without fully relinquishing a European vibe. Along with that garden, vestiges of the Tongva Village and the homestead's former inhabitants live on today next to a renovated Rancho Center and Barns Area. The ranch is still home to barnyard animals—chickens, rabbits, horses—and thanks to Bixby's heirs, the 7.5 remaining acres of Nieto's once-colossal estate now welcome the public with exhibits about its history and that of the Tongva tribe.6400 E Bixby Hill RdLong Beach, CA US
