All new NOT purple & pink top for David
Good thing I started this one when we decided the pink and purple one was WRONG for a guy!
I think I could finish 3 of these before I figure out how to finish the purple and pink one. ;>
This one won't have any border. I'll just bind it in a green that blends in.
Hard to imagine it's based on the same concept as the bullseye top, isn't it. But it's the same 2" x 3 1/2" rectangles arranged differently and, of course, with different colors.
I love how in the pic there are notes of purple that zoom out at you. Believe it or not there was not a single fabric that I would have said was anything but green. But with batiks when you cut them you get surprises. I like how this set of surprises worked out.
The quilt shop nearest to me won't buy purples, pinks or teals. She just doesn't like them and she says she doesn't want to look at them all day. But I think a note of purple really electrifies whatever's around it. Teal can do the same. But I'm with her on the pink thing. ;>

Prix-fixe dinner, $175

In 2014, after six years inhabiting a tiny plywood box on First Avenue, David Chang's Momofuku Ko expanded to comparatively titanic premises off the Bowery. The sleek, minimal space occupies three former storefronts on a sleepy alley called Extra Place, and the chef had to adjust to the infrastructural and atmospheric upgrade. This restaurant is like getting out of jail, he says. In its ten-block venture south, Ko has gained ten additional seats around the black-walnut counter, a six-stool bar for before-or-after-dinner drinks, five times the wine-storage space, and a private dining room. There are now two bathrooms in addition to one for employees a game-changer, says Chang. The counter stools have backs, the elegant stemware is by Zalto (endorsed by no less a connoisseur than Le Bernardin's Aldo Sohm), and diners so inclined will be able to conclude their meals with a cup of Ko custom-blended coffee new terrain for a food-world figure famous for eschewing such creature comforts of the fine-dining scene.
But at Ko, which is currently serving multi-course, two-and-a-half-hour-long set-menu dinners Wednesday through Sunday, the focus is still firmly on the gleaming open kitchen, and the collaboration of the expanded team working within it. Executive chef and co-owner Sean Gray, a seven-year Momofuku veteran, has many more tools at his disposal, and the enhanced space allows him and his crew to prepare many more dishes à la minute, in full view of diners, and to continue to serve them directly across the counter, a hallmark of the original Ko. A refrigerated glass wall separates the dining room from the prep kitchen, and provides a tantalizing window into the makings of the menu: Air-chilled Muscovy ducks, soppressata, globe artichokes, venison saddle, and finger limes all wait to be nabbed by cooks during the course of service. Although house-baked bread isn't new to Ko, Gray now has a dedicated electric bread oven to increase production from one or two loaves a day to over a dozen. And beverage director Jordan Salcito has crafted a thoughtful wine list highlighting not just grapes and producers, but individual winemakers themselves, and those who inspired and mentored them. (Pairings are available at $155, to accompany the $175 meal.)
In the time that has elapsed since 2008, when Chang converted the original Noodle Bar into Ko, he's expanded internationally with projects in Sydney and Toronto, and the new Manhattan restaurant derives the benefit of all the experience he and his team have gained along the way not to mention specific design elements that unite the far-flung outposts, like the refrigerated glass wall, functioning as both storage and decor, and the counter stools made by the same Brooklyn-based design firm responsible for the seating in Toronto's Shoto. The food has evolved as well, though it still prioritizes technique over flashy status-symbol ingredients. It's certainly more French than it ever was before, says Chang, referring to the rye-flour puff pastry in the millefeuille, and the bearnaise Gray sometimes serves with dry-aged rib-eye. But not just French there's a lot of fucking Japanese. We're trying to use techniques that are meaningful to us and respect everything that came before it.Note

less-common furnace brand?
phrogFebruary 20, 2013
Anyone hear of Gibson furnaces? One heating guy has given us an estimate based on a small, single stage Gibson for our 1700 sq. ft. house. (I am planning to get estimates from other vendors with other brands.)
Be aware Gibson is an old appliance brand whose name only is used in Nordyne's umbrella appliance HVAC brands. Not very familiar with them. I personally would stay clear but others have had success. Usually considered a second tier brand under a dealer's main brand.
I would suggest looking at Rudd/Rheem HVAC. Not always cutting edge but solid equipment that is underrated and overlooked in the residential HVAC market.
Perhaps others can offer their opinions.

straw bale garden update +
g'day friends,
we hope all had a very merry season and a happy new year to come.
anyhow we have added more pics of the straw garden to date plus some general shots around the garden environ'.
we hope you get the time to look and enjoy as we enjoy the giving.
Great stuff Len! I was involved in a thread on the soil forum (I think) where someone kept saying that half finished compost could not be used around growing plants. Well- I sheet/lasagna mulch and throw veggie scraps right there on the bed and the person kept doubting that my garden would produce.
I'm glad to see someone else doing this and documenting it. Great site.
g'day pablo,
if you add that sort of material and as i do with kitchen scraps to the top of the medium under the hay/straw it won't affect the plants and will break down in due course.
my worm farming and composting all happens in the garden beds nowadays, just can't see the reason to add in extra processes when nature does it more direct. i used to do compost piles/bins/tumblers & worm farms.
Here is a link that might be useful: len's garden page
With you on that bro. I only maintain a compost pile to hot compost meats/bones/etc. (you know... what many call "uncompostable"- LOL)
I clean out my rabbit boxes (litter trained rabbits) and throw manure, spent hay, and urine soaked wood pellets (now sawdust) right onto beds.
When I went to put my garden to bed for the winter- it was 6"+ deep in pure worm castings. I more or less failed at indoor worm bins, but they sure found my garden. I have since piled it up with maybe 40 bags of other people's discarded leaves, my other scraps, and garden refuse. The worms may even do well over the winter with this insulation.

Depression Health Center
Antidepressant Rx: Careful Monitoring Needed
Who prescribed your antidepressant? Not a psychiatrist, most likely.
Up to 80% of antidepressants are prescribed by primary care doctors -- and given the high rate of clinical depression, "that's a good thing," says David Feinberg, MD, a clinical psychiatrist with the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute.
Recommended Related to Depression
WebMD's Symptom Finder: Physical Symptoms of Depression - Head / Neck
Headaches, neck aches, dizziness. These problems have many causes, including stress, tension, and medical conditions. They also can be physical symptoms of depression. If you are prone to headaches, they may get worse when you're depressed. Depression has a way of magnifying pain, because you're more focused on negative things — a hallmark of depression. NOTE: If your headache is the worst one you've ever experienced or it is associated with vomiting, fever, stiff neck, visual changes...
Read the WebMD's Symptom Finder: Physical Symptoms of Depression - Head / Neck article > >
In fact, many insurance plans require a primary care doctor be the first step in treatment. "Pediatricians, primary care doctors, and family doctors have always provided a tremendous amount of mental health care," Feinberg tells WebMD. "If they didn't, too much depression would not get treated."
However, the recent FDA warning about antidepressants -- that depression and suicidal thoughts could get worse at certain points in treatment -- concerns many people.
What kind of follow-up care should adults or children get from a primary care doctor? How frequently should they see their doctors? Should patients (or parents) push for more follow-up care? Should a psychiatrist be involved in treatment? Is therapy necessary?
For guidance on these issues, WebMD contacted several psychiatrists. Their advice:
1) Be your own (or your child's) advocate.
Primary care providers can generally diagnose clinical depression in adults. Sadness, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, lack of energy, and hopelessness are classic symptoms. Discuss them with your doctor, and talk about all the treatment options.
However, with children and adolescents, depression is not so easy to diagnose, says David Fassler, MD, private practice child and adolescent psychiatrist and professor of psychiatry at the University of Vermont.
"Depressed kids don't always look like you would expect," he tells WebMD. "Quite often, they are not sad or withdrawn. They may be irritable, getting into fights, agitated. Getting an accurate diagnosis is key with kids. Some social workers and psychologists are good at recognizing depression in kids, as are some pediatricians and family practice physicians."
A psychiatrist's evaluation is often necessary to determine just what is going on with a child, he says. "Frequently, a child psychiatrist does the initial evaluation and prescribes medication. Then the child is referred back to the pediatrician for monitoring and follow-up, hopefully in conjunction with therapy."

As stressful as day-to-day life can be, people often find themselves in a panic in the morning trying to figure out what to wear. I think everyone has an insecurity about presenting the wrong outfit or one that is out-of-style. People want to feel confident yet comfortable; in style, but not trendy. Here are four confidence boosting styling tips to implement in order to remain stress-free and best-dressed.
1. Know not all trends work for all body types.
It doesn't matter how much an item costs or if it is "in season" the same way crop tops and skinny jeans aren't meant for all. Forcing yourself into something that is semi-workable is not the best way to optimize your closet. It's more about the right fit for your body type. I know a chic A-line dress nipped at the waist will accent my curves and will never go out of style. Find what works for you. Above trends, fit is key.
2. Know you body type and tailor your clothes
As mentioned above, fit is essential and is achieved when wearing the correct sizing and tailoring. When shopping, it is best to know you body type to identify what will work for you. It makes for quicker shopping on all platforms.
– Pear: Narrow above the waist and wider at the bottom. Try a fitted bodice and bold shoulders draw attention to your top half while a flared skirt skims the hips.
– Apple: Fuller shoulders and chest with slim hips and thighs. Try A-line and wrap dress pieces accent your waist to balance heavier top half.
– Rectangle/Boyish: Little definition in waist and hips. You can pull of flow dress and skinny jeans, but don't forget to add curves with belts.
- Hourglass: You're a Marilyn Monroe with equal upper and lower halves with well-defined waists. Showing off your curves is your god given gift.
3. Flaunt your Assets
Wear something that makes you feel amazing regardless of trends. Looking your best will make you feel your best. Own your curves, petite body, or length! Petite woman show opt for pieces that come in naturally shorter lengths, like cigarette pants, higher skirts, and three-quarter and shorter sleeved tops and jackets. Showing more skin will make your limbs look longer.
Plus-Sized: Shapely legs and well-toned arms are meant to be flaunted.
Tall women: Don't be afraid to wear high heels. Show off your legs for days and choose form-fitting clothes to accent your waist.
4. It's all about the details
Accessories complete every look. I love to mix and match pieces and colors. Try silver with gold and statement necklaces. Every outfit should have a least 1 conversation piece like a cocktail ring or necklace. Play it up and have fun. Remember it only fashion!
I love this quick and easy nail art inspiration straight from Wes Gordon's New York Fashion Week Fall runway show. Although, Spring is just around the corner I'm feeling my black and gold nails art to add some edge to my day-to-day look.
Black & Gold Nails
1- Clean and buff your nails
2- Apply a base coat. I use Formula X from Sephora
3- Apply two coats of Sally Hansen Hard as Nail Xtreme Wear in Black Out
4- Apply a line of Essie's Good as Gold in the Center of your nail.
5. Apply your choice of top coat.
Spring is just around the corner which means St. Patrick's Day is almost here. Rather than celebrating with an Irish Car Bomb, I've created an awesome "Healthy Shamrock Shake" recipe with only 8 ingredients – all of them dairy-free, gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, and waistline friendly!
As a child growing up in Chicago, I enjoyed having my yearly McDonald's Shamrock Shakes. I was shocked to discover it contains 54 ingredients! Nothing healthy and will definitely screw up your fitness goals. Read the Huffington Post article here.
Check out my healthier version below and let me know what you think!
2 servings – each 8 oz.
1/4 can light coconut milk (chilled)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (chilled)
1 banana (frozen preferred)
1/2 small avocado
1/2 cup Power Greens (Mixed greens -Costco brand)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup of mint
1/2 Scoop Vanilla Plant Protein (optional)
Put all ingredients in the blender (NutriBullet), blend until smooth.
Store extra in the freezer to make minty ice cream!
Here is the second look for my series: Workplace Style for Less Vol. 2. I love this look for a casual work day (give your feet a break) and it's also great for a weekend brunch. I always feel a bit patriotic in this outfit, but love adding the red shoes and lip to bring out the blue. The A-line cut of the dress is very flattering and adding a belt accents my waist. The small jacket covers my shoulders to make it more workplace appropriate. The best party is this dress is only $35! Mixing it with high priced items makes it the perfect workplace look.

Yesterday was the feast of St. Joseph. I had planned on getting St. Joseph's cream puffs to mark the occasion, but never made it to the bakery with the beginning of baseball season this week. Instead, I did a quick look online for recipes for Bolognese sauce and made up a quick one using what I had. The quick version was well-received, making it a perfect sauce to make for the freezer for days when I need to pull a rabbit out of the hat!
Quick Bolognese Sauce
2 cups of canned spaghetti sauce with italian sausage – $.22
1 lb. ground beef – $1.69
2 T. pureed red pepper – $.02
1 T. pureed basil in olive oil – $.02
1/8 cup of parmesan/romano cheese – $.125
dried mushroom, crushed to crumbs – .01
Total Cost: $2.09
Notes: I estimated the red pepper and basil costs because they came out of our vegetable garden. I also estimated the dried mushroom cost; the mushrooms came from a reduced bag of mushrooms I bought in the fall and dried with our dehydrator. I crushed the mushrooms to hide them, otherwise I would have rehydrated them and used them whole.

Stop Managing Down & Distance, Part 2: A Wisconsin Case Study
And now back to our regularly scheduled programming…
Previsouly: Parts 1a, 1b, 1c
I have done a terrible job of branding this series. The idea behind it is that football has changed and coaches haven't. The game used to be about managing down and distance, putting yourself in a makeable third down, and hoping your defense can win with 17 points. Now offenses are more sophisticated at both running and passing. Third downs that used to be virtually out of reach are still tough but more possible and the upsides of going for bigger chunks of yardage on first and second down have begun to outweigh the risks of longer third downs. This changes how both offensive and defensive coaches need to think and how they allocate resources and personnel. Some pieces are now worth more and others less.
The traditional running game used to be the focal point of this philosophy. The traditional running game is the best football tool for limiting variance on a down by down basis. The quarterbacks job is to hand the ball off, throw a couple of beautiful play action deep balls a game, bail out a third down or two, then feed words like "focused" to the media.
As I spent the last several years combing through nearly ten years of play by play data, I kept coming back to the same question: Why do teams run the ball so much? I parsed the data time after time to try and find something I had missed and I couldn't find it. Of the top individual PAN seasons among QBs and RBs since 2006, only 3 running backs (Boise St's Ian Johnson in 2006 and Montee Ball and Trent Richardson this year) cracked the top 100. But PAN doesn't take into account burning the clock at the end of a game. So I switched to WPA (Win Percent Added) which accounts for the clock. Under WPA rankings, Toby Gerhart in 2009 is the only running back to break into the top 200 seasons. 199 quarterback seasons and only 1 running back season.
Now this isn't to say that a running game isn't valuable. Of my ten highest rated offensive seasons noted below only Oklahoma, Hawaii and Houston didn't feature prominent rushing attacks. In fact of the ten, I would categorize 5 as rushing spreads, 3-4 (Baylor is tough to categorize) as college passing spreads and Wisconsin as a traditional run-first offense.
|W Virginia
The running game is alive and well but the traditional running back is harder to justify.
The Wisconsin Case
Montee Ball had an outstanding season and along with Trent Richardson clearly a top 2 back in the country. But was he the most valuable player on his own offense? Here are the traditional numbers for Ball and Russell Wilson
Montee Ball
307 att, 1923 yards & 33 TDs rushing (NCAA record 39 overall TD)
Russell Wilson
225/309, 3175 yards & 33 TD & 4 INT (NCAA record 191.8 pass efficiency)
and the advanced metrics
Montee Ball
+6.1 PAN and 0.10 WPA/Game
Russell Wilson
+11.4 PAN and 0.37 WPA/Game
The Wisconsin offense was a thing of beauty that could have been a national title contender if their –1 defense didn't lead them to three losses while scoring at least 29 points in each of them.
So who was more responsible, Wilson or Ball? Wilson averaged more yards/play, had almost no turnovers and significantly higher advanced metrics. But let's dig down a bit and compare the two.
Nearly half of all Russell Wilson's plays (rushes and passes) went for 7 yards or more. Ball had 28% of his plays go for the same distance. For negative plays, they are nearly even with sacks and all Ball without. The area were Montee Ball's plays went was in the 0-3 yard range, i.e. the manage the down and distance range. This obviously wasn't a bad season for Ball, it was a great season and he was still dominated by his quarterback in terms of output.
Now this take into consideration down and distance considerations so I put together a similar slide with EV.
Montee Ball had 15% of his plays go for at least a half standard deviation above average. Russell Wilson's number was twice that at 30% with minimal negative offset.
Looking at a second way, here is there play EV value ranked.
As good as Montee Ball was last year, the offense should have even gone to Wilson, more.
RIP Running Back?
Obviously not as a position but as a premiere position I have a hard time justifying the running back's historical position as at nearly the same level as the quarterback. Even at their best great running backs at similar value to decent quarterbacks. Two offseasons ago I did a study on returning starters and found that of all positions on the field, returning starts by running backs had the least effect of any position on future team success. Before signing day when I looked at the value of recruiting ranking to future team success, running back recruiting was one of the lowest correlations to future offensive success.
It's not that running backs can't be valuable. Montee Ball's +6 PAN is outstanding. It's more that a big upside for a running back is rare, hard to predict and is still less than you can get from a quarterback. Of the 29 QB's and RB's that were +3 or better last year only five were running backs, the rest were quarterbacks. Running back has become a low marginal production position.
Wrapping This Up Next Week
There is a good argument to be made that Wilson's success is a byproduct of the attention paid to Ball. It obviously didn't occur in a vacuum and I have no doubt that Wilson benefited from the attention paid Ball more than vice versa. In next week's final part of this series we'll look at how teams can adjust their strategies on both sides of the ball to maximize the new realities.

Michigan Hockey: NMU Picture Pages
Today we look at the scoring breakdown from the NMU series. 7 goals in a series makes for a pretty long post.
Goal #1
Our first goal of the game came on a blown clear by the Wildcats, Epp is fighting for the puck at the corner boards while the rest of the team is trying to breakout.
Even after a second Michigan player comes down the Northerners still leave Epp by himself to fight, since the other Wildcats are still in position for a breakout no one is there to cover Di Giuseppe.
Goal #2: Powerplay
Nothing special here on the powerplay, but it became obvious early on that anyone in a Michigan sweater who wanted to screen was not going to be challenged.
The shot is off the mark, but anyone who has watched Alex Guptill play this year can tell you that his timing on redirects is outstanding.
The space given is all he needs and the puck is in the net.
Goal #3:
I predicted that Jon Merrill would have a bounce back series after last weekends MSU fiasco. The thing that has always separated Merrill from others is his hockey I.Q. You either have it or you don't, things like this can't not be taught.
This play starts out as a regular clear for the Wildcats, nothing special just a puck sent out of the zone.
Head up the whole way Merrill gets the puck from Moffie and finds Deblois cutting through the middle.
The Northerners are all kinds of confused, obviously since the blueliner has closed his legs like he's in shot blocking position.
As you can see they are caught way out of position.
The only play left for NMU is to go for the hook, bring him down and try your luck on the PK. Deblois does a great job of keeping the puck and staying on his feet to finish the play off.
Goal #4: Powerplay
Another Wildcat special teams brakedown. Once again Michigan is not doing anything special with the powerplay, but all four penalty killers get caught down low and can not get back into position.
This is another example of Jon Merrill and his hockey intelligence. He gets this puck at the point and walks it up, with a free screener in front of the net everyone is thinking shot.
He sees Moffie the whole way for the one timer, the no look pass is just icing on the cake.
No chance Ellingson can get over in time as Moffie buries the shot
Series two: Goal #1
After NMU failes to clear the puck out Moffie gathers and brings it over the line.
Moffie connects with Glendening who maybe takes an ill advised shot, I feel like the separation gave him the chance to get closer.
But it doesn't matter because his wrister beats the goaltender clean to the glove side for our first goal of the game.
Goal #2: Powerplay
We begin this powerplay with the puck along the sideboards, once again another screener having his way with the Wildcat defense. This is basic hockey, they don't even try to move him.
Merrill sends it across to Moffie
And back to Merrill again.
Once again we see another example of something you can't teach. Not everyone can play the point on a powerplay, in fact some guys who are great hockey players are awful at running point.
A lot of times what you will see is from a bad the point man is either quick pass or quick shot, which usualy results in a broken up pass or a block. His shot is not there, so instead of forcing it he holds, and holds and waits until the lane that he wants is open.
And we have our second goal of the game.
Goal #3:
Along the blueline is Mac Bennett, who sends a long pass across looking for Di Giuseppe.
He overshoots him on the pass and the puck is gathered by series whipping boy Wade Epp.
We don't know exactly what he was trying to do here, he's either trying to bounce the puck off the boards out of the zone or he was expecting his man to be behind him.
Either way he throws the puck right at Luke Glendining, who throws a beautiful pass across to A.J. Treais.
We send our Seniors out with a win.

An Interview With Brandon Hines
Mequon (WI) Homestead DT Brandon Hines may only be a sophomore, but he's already hearing from schools not only in the Midwest, but around the country. At 6'2", 265 pounds, Hines already has great size for a high schooler, and he's garnering interest from schools like Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Oregon, Boston College, and others. I had the chance to speak with the class of 2014 prospect this week, and Brandon gave me some insight into his recruitment, including some potential good news forthcoming from the Wolverines:
ACE: You said you had some exciting news. What's happening on that front?
BRANDON: Basically, I made a new highlight tape, because I broke my hand at the beginning of the season—I had a broken hand for six games, having the club kind of slowed me down. I finally got [tape of] all the games without the club and I made a highlight tape from that, and I think I performed a lot better without that club, and a bunch of colleges seem to think so too. I decided to send that film out, and one of the first coaches I decided to reach out to was Coach Mattison from Michigan, and after I sent him my film I got some really good feedback from him.
ACE: What did Coach Mattison tell you about your film?
BRANDON: I first called him and told him the day before I sent him a text asking him if he got the tape and he said he did. He had a player in his office, so he had the player find my film for him and he told me to call him back in 30 minutes. 30 minutes passes over after I'm done lifting and I gave him a call back. Basically, to my surprise, he said they were extremely impressed and they definitely want me there. I actually talked to him about my film for a little bit and we got to know each other, and he asked me if I had any offers. As of right now, I don't have any offers, but a couple schools have been hinting and when I make my trips out to those schools I'm pretty sure I'll pull out an offer.
When I was talking to [Coach Mattison] he told me he's not going to offer a scholarship over the phone, so he asked me when I was available to come to the school. He said they're going to be on their spring break [soon], but they're going to be done in early March and that's when he wants me to come out there and watch a spring practice and meet the head coach. I'm definitely looking forward to making a visit to Ann Arbor and see what Michigan has to offer.
ACE: Have you made any other visits so far?
BRANDON: Most of my visits are going to take place now. I've been to Wisconsin twice, Michigan State, and NIU, and I also went to Boston College for their junior day. Most of my big-time visits will be taking place from this week up until the end of March, that's when I'm going to be taking my big-time visits to really good schools. First I went up to Wisconsin this [past] weekend for their junior day, then the next weekend I'm heading down to Illinois—I talked to the coach there, Coach Butkus from Illinois, and he's definitely interested, he loved my film, so I'm hoping to get some good news from them. The week after that I think I'm going to be heading down to Arkansas for their junior day, and then the week after that I'll be at Michigan State, then the week after that I'll be at Michigan.
ACE: Are there any other schools have been talking to?
BRANDON: Tennessee—I sent them my film, and that's where my parents are from, so I've got some ties there—Oregon State got my film and they really liked it, and Boston College. A lot of schools are seeing my film. Also Oklahoma State I've been reaching out to and I plan to hear from them in the next couple of days. Then there are schools that have mailed me, schools like Kansas State, UCLA, USC, Wisconsin, Minnesota, there's a long list of schools. That's what I can think of off the top, but those are some of the schools, and then a lot of other Big Ten programs have been sending me mail to the extent that they can.
Things are going at a steady pace but I definitely think if in these next couple weeks I can pick up an offer it's going to pick up a lot more. I also didn't get to send out my film to all the coaches I wanted to, so I feel that once I get that out I'll definitely be in a good position, so it's only good things to come from now on.
ACE: Being just a sophomore and getting this type of attention, what's it like for you? How are you handling it right now?
BRANDON: You know, it's actually nothing new to me at all. I've known about the recruiting process and followed most of it since I was in eighth grade. I can go back and name All-Americans from the U.S. Army game when I was in eighth grade. It's nothing new to me. I've been focused on getting a scholarship for a long time, I think I've prepared myself for it. I know what it's going to be like, I know it's going to get hectic, I know I'm going to get a lot of mail. I know the first and second days I'm able to get recruited, exactly what to expect. I've talked to a lot of other high-caliber players—I talk to [2013 TX recruit] Jake Raulerson, he's a really good guy. I've talked to Kyle Bosch a few times. I talk to [2013 Brookfield, WI DE] Chikwe Obasih, from my state, a lot of other good players. They give me advice and tell me what it's like from time to time, so it's definitely something that I'm prepared for, and I'm really ready to get these offers and hopefully narrow down my choices soon.
ACE: What type of advice are those guys giving you?
BRANDON: When I was a freshman, I thought I needed to get to the U.S. Army combine, gotta get to this combine, this combine, this combine; I went to those combines, did really well, got MVPs at most of them. Then I actually talked to Kyle Bosch about it, and he was like, "You know what man, straight up, they're a waste of money," besides the Army combine and stuff like that. He told me that you've got to get to the college camps, that's what you've gotta do, see the coaches one-on-one and just impress them that way, because it's better to see them first-hand than third-party. Jake Raulerson, he's really religious, a really good guy. That's where I get most of my faith advice from, I guess you could say. I follow that example, he's a really good guy, and he's strong in his faith which is extremely good. It's a lot of different stuff coming from different people, but I definitely appreciate all of it and it helps me.
ACE: When you head out to these schools, what specifically are you looking for? I know it's a long way off, but what's going to come into play when you're trying to pick a college?
BRANDON: School major are definitely a big key for me right now. I'm trying to see what a program is going to be like when I get there. I want to talk to a lot of the players, not just the star players but everyone, like when I went to Wisconsin I talked to Derek Watt, who I threw shot against, I talked to Darius Feaster, who went to my school, and I talked to a lot of other players who aren't the biggest big-time players but will give me the real feedback of the school. Then I'm definitely looking at the campus and the area, that's a big thing for me. I'm from a big city, Milwaukee is a pretty big city. I definitely need someplace where it's kinda populated, a big fan base for a school would be a good thing for me.
Also, the coaching staff, I have to have a coaching staff that pushes people. The coaching staff I'm with at my high school right now, I moved here [to Homestead], and they're tremendous. They're on you all the time no matter what. They will stay on you, they're going to push you, and they're going to push you past your limits. That's something I'm definitely looking for. Today I had a really tough workout with one of our coaches who's one of the to speed trainers in the state, so I'm definitely looking for some high-caliber coaches.
ACE: Looking back on your sophomore year, I know you said you were hurt for a little bit there, but how do you think you played overall?
BRANDON: Coming in sophomore year, I was nervous, really nervous. I guess you'd say my first three games at Homestead I was really nervous, because it's been a really good program, like 10-1 and 11-1. It's a lot to live up to, to play at that level. With the injury I think I performed pretty well. I think when I got to the fifth game I just built a lot of confidence, the team saw a lot of confidence with me and I exceeded [expectations] from there. I pulled in 42 tackles and six sacks. I think I pulled in some pretty good numbers and it was a solid overall season. But I think I'm definitely looking to possibly get to a state title next year. I think we have a lot of good players and we can definitely pull it off if we all work together.
ACE: What would you say your biggest strengths are as a player, and what are you trying to work on to improve for next year and to ultimately earn those scholarships?
BRANDON: I think I'm a good technical player. You see a bit more a technical side to me as opposed to a bull-rush type style. I do a lot of swim moves. I think that's my knack, I have a knack for playing like a skinny person when it comes to using moves. My key strength is definitely my strength—I think I'm pretty advanced with my strength, I think I bench 300 and I squad 405, so I think that's definitely an advantage for me. The thing I want to work on next season is my speed. I want to become a fast player. Being from the South, I think that's something I definitely have to live up to is my speed. I think if I cut a little bit of unnecessary weight I'll be a pretty good player, and that's definitely what I want to be known as coming into my junior year, is more speed than strength.
ACE: Going away from the football field, what's one thing—like a hobby or something—that you like doing that has nothing to do with sports that you'd like people to know about you?
BRANDON: This is so far-fetched from what you'd think. I collect sneakers. That's an odd hobby but I'm really into sneakers and clothing. Besides football, you'll probably catch me online looking at some new shoes. That sounded weird, but...
ACE: My brother is kind of a sneakerhead, so I know where you're coming from. Is there a specific shoe that you're trying to look out for? I know there's some Jordans that are kind of the holy grail, but is there a specific shoe that you're trying to look out for?
BRANDON: I'm not tied to Jordans, but I'm definitely trying to get the Olympic 6s when they come out in July. July is when my birthday is, so they'll be pretty easy to come by. We have a coach at our school, a basketball coach, who's pretty crazy for his sneakers and is actually known for his sneakers. I think he has over 900 shoes, so he's definitely giving me some advice and helping me improve my sneaker game. His name is Brandon Maddox, he's a good guy.
ACE: Man, 900, that's nuts. How many do you have?
BRANDON: I have 45 pairs. I'll buy shoes that I'll wear to school, and then I have my shoes that I just don't touch. I'll just let them sit there, then maybe on a rare occasion like when I go to a formal dinner I'll wear those shoes out. It gets pretty intense. I have a big sneaker collection for my age. Being 15 I can't even get a job, so I don't have the biggest advantage.

The last time we faced off against the Wildcats we got a pretty big wake up call. Coming into the series we were ranked #1 and they really used that emotion of playing the top ranked team against us. Add that to the chemistry issues facing the team after losing Kevin Lynch, Hunwick getting ejected and it was a long weekend.
This time it's a little different, NMU is coming into this series with terrible offense. The honest truth is that with decent defense and outstanding goalie numbers, if the offense wasn't so anemic they could be ten spots higher in the AP Poll.
The top line of Gron, Thurber, and Seckel can cause major damage. They score most of the points and play the best defense, after them the Wildcats have almost nothing. Justin Florek is NMU's Lindsay Sparks, he is an offensive nightmare but can't play a lick of defense.
The other issue for the Wildcats is the penalty minutes, towards the end of the roster NMU has a few 8 point scorers who are around the 50 PIMS mark. Althought the PK has been good (7th) they still have to kill more than most of the country (142).
Key Matchup is their top line vs our top pair. Without the depth NMU is going to need the top line to produce, look for Merrill to have a bounce back series after last weekends disaster.
Defensive Overview:
|Scoring Line
|Kyle Follmer
|Scott Macaulay
|Mitch Jones
|Wade Epp
|Jake Baker
Just like Michigan State, Northern comes into the season with major depth issues on the blueline. Kyle Follmer puts up great offensive numbers but the -1 is awful, that means he has been on the ice for 23 goals this year. They also have a problem staying out of the box, Michigan has one blueliner over 25 PIMS and NMU has none under 25.
The key matchup here is getting started early. Although this unit has been bad at times, they have shown that they can ride a hot goalie for the win. Coreau has the numbers to carry them so they need to get on him fast.
|Jared Coreau
|Reed Ellingson
The perfect example of how great numbers don't always translate into wins, Coreau is near the top of the league and his SV% is outstanding. Still he's 10-5-2 because he isnt getting the support in front of him. The matchup is the same as for the defense, we have to get on him before he can get confident.
Michigan Overview:
Stats are not current, MGOBLUE has not updated statistics from the MSU series.
Forward Overview:
|Scoring Line
|Alex Guptill
|Chris Brown
|David Wohlberg
|A.J. Treais
|Phil Di Giuseppe
|Travis Lynch
|Lindsay Sparks
|Luke Moffatt
I really liked how they played against MSU, the big question was how would the team adjust to the line shuffling without Brown. They had a pretty good series getting 5 goals in the two games. I have given up the Sparks watch, I think it's safe to say he won't score for the rest of the regular season.
Defensive Overview:
|Scoring Line
|Lee Moffie
|Mac Bennett
|Greg Pateryn
|Mike Chiasson
|Kevin Clare
|Brennan Serville
|Jon Merrill
Despite the way the series looked our defense played outstanding against Michigan state. The loss doesn't fall on the defense, but on the PK. The first game I was disappointed with how Merrill played and it might have been the worst game of his career. Maybe we are just spoiled to be getting such great proformances game in and game out, but I expect a bounce back tonight.
Taking a look at the PK:
I love what MSU does on this PP, it is designed to attack our 1-2-1 diamond and they execute perfectly. They have the center occupying a penalty killer leaving the wings free, when the puck is cycled down to the corner the left wing crashes.
At this point they have a variety of options, the center is not one of them. They can try back door, the pinching defensemen or get risky and go for the other blueliner who isnt pictured. Our penalty killers have to haul back to the net, but they can't get back in time so he takes it himself.
Hunwick is playing the deflection, expecting a pass through the middle or the back door. Right over his head
|Shawn Hunwick
Still playing at a high level, nothing he could really do about the PP goals last weekend.
I underestimated NMU the last time we played them, I thought we would roll over them pretty easy. I still think we will this weekend, mostly because NMU is really bad on the road. Also we need these points, we need to finish the season strong for the tourney.

They should just play the whole game 5-4, switching every 2 minutes, that seems to be what the NHL wants.

No, it doesn't...It's as stupid as the idiots booing Fedorov. Suter didn't snub the Wings, he took a better offer in his hometown. It makes the Wings fans look like idiots to boo him.

Linux Foundation's New TAB
There are many faces behind what goes on at the Linux Foundation: the officers and employees who run the day to day show, the Board of Directors who keep the ship on course, and of course, the volunteers who support, promote, and participate in the Foundation's activities. Among that number are those that act as the voice of the people themselves.
The Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board is described as one that "collaborates with the Linux Foundation on programs and issues that affect the Linux community" and "fosters bi-directional interaction with application developers, end users, and Linux companies." The ten individuals are elected by the kernel community itself — half one year, half the next — and sit on the TAB for two years, with the possibility of re-election. Its chair — who will be elected at the Collaboration Summit next March — holds a seat on the Foundation's Board of Directors.
That possibility was recently fulfilled for two members, with the announcement of the results of the annual election, which took place at the Japan Linux Symposium in Tokyo. Of the five additions to the Board announced by the Foundation, two already have favorite spots at the table: Jon Corbet, Linux Kernel Weather Report author, and Greg Kroah-Hartman of Novell, SUSE Labs Senior Engineer and Linux Device Driver Project manager.
New additions in the boardroom will be Alan Cox, who requires no introduction, Ted T'so, the Linux Foundation Fellow and incoming Vice Chair for the board, and Thomas Gleixner, who "manages bug reports for NAND FLASH, core timers and the unified x86 architecture."
According to Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin, "each member of the TAB personifies collaboration and works hard to help us increase the technical dominance of the Linux operating system." As for the Board itself, it "provides essential guidance to the Linux Foundation and its members."
Those who will continue personifying collaboration and providing essential guidance for the coming year are its current chair, James Bottomley of Novell, SCSI subsystem maintainer, Chris Maso of Oracle, Btrfs file system creator, Chris Wright of Red Hat, LSM framework maintainer, Kristen Carlson Accardi of Intel, ACPI, PCI, and SATA subsytem contributor, and Dave Jones of Red Hat, Fedora kernel maintainer.

There are numerous participants in constructing a building or other type of project: owner/developer, general contractor/construction manager, sub-contractors, vendors and design professionals. Sometimes the owner/developer is a public entity with different considerations and constraints from that of a private entity. In view of the number of interested parties and the complexity of each project, disputes abound. This program covers the types of disputes which commonly arise, mechanisms to avoid procedural snafus and options in employing alternative dispute resolution alternatives. It comprises the first of two parts, the latter of which will focus on methods of calculating damages, enforcing and securing payment for work on construction projects, and will be held in the fall.
This program is an introduction to the probate process in NYS and will include a review of the probate process, requirements, forms and pre-mortem preparation as well as to typical issues that arise in administering estates. There will also be a brief discussion of probate contests and 1404 depositions. Finally, there will be a review of why and how to avoid the probate process using revocable trusts and other legal entities.
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") continues to be one of the focal points of the Securities Exchange Commission's and the Department of Justice's enforcement program. Enforcement actions, civil and criminal, are continuing at pace and the cost of resolving FCPA actions is getting more onerous. At the same time, the U.K. Bribery Act and other foreign anti-corruption laws are gaining in prominence. Multinational companies increasingly face bribery risks in their international business activities. Such risks can, however, be detected and managed. The experienced faculty of private practitioners, regulators, and prosecutors will provide an in-depth analysis of the FCPA's current trends and implications.
This program examines the most recent issues a practitioner needs to be aware of with respect to end-users and derivatives. These include how the ISDA Resolution Stay Protocol and its possible expansion affects end-users and what impact it has on the bankruptcy process. For example, what happens if a dealer counterparty goes insolvent? Also examined are what commercial end-users need to know to trade uncleared swaps, what is mandatory clearing, and when and how can end-users claim an exemption from mandatory clearing. Current Topics for End-Users of Swaps addresses these and other essentials to a legal practice intersecting with derivatives. No previous experience with derivatives law is required for this program.

J.Crew x New Balance 1400 "Fort Greene" by John Kim 2 Comments
April 5, 2013 BY Aaron Hope / 0
Navy New Balances represent the one of the sneaker world's timeless looks, so it's particularly interesting to see combined with a signature element from an even older footwear tradition. The INVINCIBLE x New Balance 1400 'Brogue' combines the perforated detailing from long-established hard-bottomed shoes, this particular style itself landing somewhere in the 'smart casual' range. These details along with the leather laces and lining convey a premium appeal that looks like it might follow the spring's similar Beauty & Youth 1700 to US retail. The May 18th debut at INVINCIBLE is set with a wider release to follow in June, so have a closer look below and stick with Sneaker News for updates.

NASCAR has expanded its NASCAR SpeedPark go-cart concept to include stand-alone projects exclusively with Myrtle Beach, SC-based Burroughs & Chapin Co. The NASCAR SpeedParks were initially designed to be a part of St. Andrews' All-American SportsPark concept, which will debut in Las Vegas later this year. But NASCAR VP/Licensing & Consumer Products George Pyne said, "The demand for the NASCAR SpeedPark concept has led us to developing stand- alone projects." The first SpeedPark will be built in Myrtle Beach and feature eight tracks, with plans to develop 10 more sites over a two-year period (NASCAR). DAYS OF THUNDER: A NASCAR Thunder store, "a sort of Disney store for racing fans," will open in Phoenix next month, according to Glen Creno of the ARIZONA REPUBLIC. There are currently six stores, with four others, including the one in Phoenix, to open before the end of the year. Ten more stores "are planned" for '98 (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 9/18).

And yet another for ID
Hi again everyone,
I thought seeing it is quiet on the GW at present I would jump in and post another NOID. It's growing in bright light and is about 12" to the top of the leaves and 20" to the top of the inflorescence.
Can anyone help with a name please?
Thanks in advance, all the best, Nev.
Hi blue heeler, Thanks for that info.
This could be the name I am looking for, but two things puzzle me, and they are, that your member's page shows you as being from US and if that's so, why would our plants both be in flower at identical times? The other thing is that the blue heeler tag is very much Australian, so what's the go?
Thanks for the feedback, all the best, Nev.
Hello again, I am very much an Aussie (southern Queensland). When I signed up for Gardenweb they asked for a Zipcode and on the advice of other Aussie Gardenwebbers I put in 91210 from the TV show Beverley Hills 91210. That probably explains why my member's page says I am from the US'
Yep mine is the Beverly hills code as well ,without a U.S code you dont seem to get on ,there is a lot of Aussie's in Beverly hills .bit silly but it works .
Hi everyone,
Fran I also have Weilbachii forma pendula but this is a very different plant. It's much tougher and has a very stiff upright inflorescence and the berries stay for months and months. It also tolerates strong sun much better.
Blue Heeler and Vriesea, you're both smarter than me; when I tried to join GW I tore my hair out trying to work out why GW wouldn't accept my post code and then someone suggested I add a '0' to one end of it and the rest is history.
All the best, Nev.

Unboxing: T-Mobile myTouch 3G

Next Story
This is what the Prince of Persia movie poster looks like! Come, look at it!
Here it is, folks. The T-Mobile myTouch 3G, the second Android device to hit US shores from HTC. John already reviewed the Hero, which is more or less the same device under the hood aside from the Sense UI. The only noticeable difference I can see on the myTouch 3G is the build of Cupcake it carries, COC10. Packaging is quite nice and comes with a set of earbuds, USB to 3.5mm adapter, carrying pouch, 4GB microSD card, screen protector and a fancy charger shaped exactly like the myTouch 3G. We'll have a review in the next few days.
