A Team Full of Coaches
How the Seahawks' system of checks and balances, with lots of tough love, has molded them into a contender
RENTON, Wash. — Sidney Rice burst off the line of scrimmage, sprinted roughly 15 yards downfield, then cut left through the center of the Seattle defense during a recent practice. When he got back to the sideline he stopped and asked teammate Jermaine Kearse to critique the route.
"It looked all right. It looked pretty good," the second-year wideout answered.
Rice then turned to third-year pro Doug Baldwin and asked what he thought of the route.
"You rounded it a little bit at the top," he said.
Two different players. Two different responses. One unfiltered reaction.
"Jermaine," Rice barked. "Don't lie to me again. Tell the truth."
The Seahawks are a popular pick to reach the Super Bowl because they've added several quality pieces to a club that finished 11-5 and came within eight seconds of reaching the NFC Championship Game last season. Much of the focus is on their depth, athleticism and talent, but another key factor is personal accountability. The players demand it of each other in practices and games.
"I tell the guys, 'If you see something wrong with what I'm doing, tell me. Don't hold back because I'm the leader of the group. I want to be criticized, too,' " says Rice. "If you can accept that from the guys that you work with every day, you develop the trust that you need to be successful. We just want to see each other do well."
The commitment to accept nothing but each other's best jumped out during my visiting to training camp last week. Other teams talk it, but the Seahawks practice it. To be more accurate, they demand it. Doesn't matter if you're a rookie or an All-Pro.
Bobby Wagner was a second-round pick who was placed in the middle of a talented defense last year as a rookie. Despite playing well and earning consideration for Defensive Rookie of the Year, he found himself out of position at times. He might've been in the "A" gap (between the center and guard) when he should have been in the "B" gap (between the guard and tackle). But despite his youth and inexperience, teammates cut him no slack. In the heat of battle they told him his play was unacceptable.
When Richard Sherman, arguably the game's best cornerback, was beaten by Rams rookie Chris Givens for a 52-yard catch and run last season, teammates bluntly told Sherman he had to do better, not only because it was paramount for their bump-and-run coverage to work, but also because they expected more from him. Two plays later when QB Sam Bradford tested him again, Sherman was there for the interception. Not that he felt vindicated, though.
"That just brought me back to even," he says. "My thinking was that I had to make another play to get on the plus side. That's just how we hold each other accountable. It's like big brothers and little brothers. You don't ever want to let them down."
The Seahawks sometimes get chided as a team that talks too much, particularly the vociferous Sherman. But their most important words are directed at each other, not opponents. During practice, when it appears the wideouts and cornerbacks are jawing at each other—which does happen—the sides are often providing insight into why one got the better of the other.
"Today you saw a few guys catch balls, and they weren't like, 'Yeah! Yeah! I got you! Get some!' " says wideout Golden Tate. "The first thing I'm doing is going over to tell [cornerback Brandon] Browner how I caught the ball on him. Just like when Walter Thurmond gets the best of me off the line of scrimmage or in a route; he tells me, 'Your stem was this way, or your shoulders were turned.' That's what we do."
Spend time around the Seahawks and it becomes apparent the players genuinely like and respect each other. The wideouts don't just hang with the wideouts, they're also spending times with the defensive backs and joking with the offensive linemen. Sherman estimates that the cornerbacks spent more time with each other than they did with their own families. "We were together probably eight or nine months the last year," he says.
This bodes well for the coming season, because championship squads are as much about good chemistry as they are about good talent. There are going to be moments that test a club's collective mettle, that force teammates to look each other in the eyes and ask audibly or silently, Can I count on you?
In Seattle, criticism isn't viewed as a means of tearing someone down. It's considered a way of building him up, ensuring he won't make the same mistake twice. That requires egos to be checked at the locker room door, which is where the Seahawks leave theirs.
"We all see each other as family," Tate says. "We have a few rules, and one of them is to protect the team at all costs. Whatever the situation is, on the field, off the field—protect the team. That means demanding the best from each of us. That's important to us because we've all bought in to what coach [Pete] Carroll expects from us. Every day we come with that in mind.
"I know when we take the practice field, I don't play for myself. I play for the guys around me because we all know how good we can be as long as we don't let what people are saying on the outside get to us. We also know there's always room for improvement, which is why we demand so much from each other. It's never personal. It's all about getting better."
The MMQB crew has hit the road for training camps. Check out all our coverage.
Funny stuff, so many seen how good the hawks were, but still don't want to admit that they have the talent to be the best. A lot of it comes from their work ethics and how much of a family they have become. I for one can't express how happy I am for this Seahawks team, and how excited I am to be a season ticket holder. 2013 is gonna be a great year, and all you haters can just keep on hating. It's just dust on our shoulders, bout to be brushed off for good. Go Hawks 4 life
Since when are the Seahawks so good.
one good season lets see now what happens.
Here's the big thing that's different this year with Seattle and it's a big one: expectations. Last year the team had none, nobody expected them to do anything. So they were playing with house money last year. This year is different, they have big expectations, that doesn't mean they'll sink but this doesn't strike me as the type of team (strong veteran leadership) that is built to withstand. Like the previous poster said, this team does reek of the Eagles a couple years ago.
So much hype for a team with a 2nd-year QB who played well in less than 50% of his games, their top two WRs facing injuries, a coach that historically talks more than he wins, the toughest division in football, a string of PED-related suspensions, and a team that wouldn't have made the playoffs had it not been for a blown Hail Mary call. This team stinks of the Dream Team Eagles of two years ago.
I'm a huge Niners fan and can't wait for Sep 13th!!! Going to be a war
King sure is in love with this team. I'm just glad this article calls them contenders, and not elite like on some other sites. I'm a pack fan and if GB and Seattle both make the playoffs I would like a rematch in a game that means something. No backup refs, no excuses, just head to head football. Then if Seattle prevails, I will except that GB was the second best team that faithful day.
@BrandonDickey Work ethic and how much of a family they have become? I hate it when people say that because that's like saying I guess all the other teams apparently are lazy and the players all hate each other. That sounds suspiciously like the type of praise people gave/give Tebow (i.e. works hard).
This team is nothing like the "Dream Team" Eagles. The 2013 Hawks will return 20 out of 22 starters on O and D. They didn't bring in FA stars to fill holes- they brought in a couple FAs to supplement one of the 2 or 3 most talented and probably deepest roster (oh and one of the youngest) in the NFL... Try again.
@MatthewCortina curious what's even prompting you to speak on it. You have a serious opinion about a team you seem to not care for. Most people would probably tune the article out if they didn't agree with it. But you show an amount of vitriol towards the events of last season that make it impossible for fans of the team to absorb whatever point it is you're trying to make.
This is a Seahawks article - it's likely that fans of the Seahawks will be happy to refute your superficial claims and comparisons on this board. If you want to call that homerism, you should probably check who's lawn you're standing in on your way back to your own. I call it routing for your team.
Your bias comes off as uneducated, because anyone who watched the development of the season last year knows better about how to gauge both RW's success and this team's chemistry. That's not Homerism, it's a product of people who have been paying very close attention to their team.
And BTW, you don't know any better than anyone else how this season is going to shape up, so go back to your cave, troll.
Damn dude get your facts straight. Hawks played well in all there games last year, didn't lose by more then 7 points in any game. One win didn't decide our playoff birth and only one more win and they would have won the division. It coming soon and you won't be able to deny how good of a team Seattle has when they dominate every other team in the NFL.
Hey Genius.
That 2nd year QB was one of only 2 rookie QBs ever to have a passer rating over 100. He was one of only 2 rookie QBs EVER to have thrown 26 TDs in a single season. The other guy? Peyton Manning, and he threw 28 INTs that same year. He was 2nd to Cam Newton for total TDs by a Rookie QB. So please, Spare me.
Top receivers. To finish the season last year the Seahawks averaged 34ppg. Without Harvin. And Rice isn't injured! He has Patellar Tendinitis, for which he received treatment for and has already resumed practice. Again, spare me.
PEDs. Seattle has had 6 players according to the media test positive for one PED or another. What they don't tell you is that 1 of those players never played for the Seahawks and had his test administered before he was even at training camp. What they don't tell you is that 1 of those players has a legit prescription but as a rookie failedu even to have the correct paperwork filed to ensure he could continue to take it. That chalks it down to 4 players. 1 being Richard Sherman, who won his appeal. The Washington Redskins have had just as many PED related suspensions but nobody cares.
Would not be in the playoffs? Do you even pay attention to football? Do you know how the postseason works? Even if the Pack had won that game the Hawks would have finished 10-6, with the 5th seed. The same exact seed they had. They held the tie breakers over both the Vikes and the Bears.
And as for the Dream team? Man you are an idiot. The Eagles built their team through FA. Of the 22 projected starters for the Seahawks this next year, 15 were drafted by the team and the other 7 have been on the team for over 2 yrs. All the FA signing were for DEPTH, not starting roles.
@MatthewCortina less than 50% of games? how do you explain an 11-5 record, of which they 1 of the 5 losses were in the last 8 regular season games. not to mention go look at some of the lopsided offensive numbers put up in the second half of the season, against some elite (and not so elite) teams. find some facts to back up your claim about a sub-par quarterback.
@Rick58 @Rick58 Man you Packer fans just won't stop crying. Instead of worrying about Seattle worry about your offensive line situation and the Niners Bearing down in week one. 8 Sacks. 8 against the Seahawks. You just lost your left Tackle, who wasn't even a left tackle to begin with! You guys are hosed week one. Freaking cry baby.
@Rick58 Seattle is elite (go check some SB odds). And Trotter wrote this.
@BrandonDickey Lazy and players hate each other? Say hello to the NY Jets!
@BradR @mystafugee Okay then, they aren't as good as the Eagles so-called Dream Team, my apologies.
@ColinProctor @MatthewCortina Exactly. Well said.
@65_dave @MatthewCortina Haha I love defensive fans. It's a real mark of confidence.
@zipflopomg @MatthewCortina I agree QB play is subjective. They started 4-4 (that's 50% of their regular season games). In those first 8 games, he never threw for more than 300 yards, he threw as many TDs as INTs, and he had passer ratings of 35, 45, 62 and 82. The other four games: NE and Dallas who were in the bottom half of total defense last year and GB (against whom they scored only 7 legitimate points) and Detroit. Now what about the other points I brought up?
@qwerty2002 @BrandonDickey They aren't lazy, as for hating each other, that's a product of losing not vice-versa. When things turn south for the Seahawks, we'll see how happy of a family they are.
@mystafugee Mr. Fugly is back in a Hawks article! What a shock! Oh and he's talking loud, but he isn't saying anything! WOW!
@mystafugee @BradR Yeah... you missed AGAIN.
@Riverview @MatthewCortina @65_dave Take it easy. This isn't a back alley.
Is Vegas overrating Seattle? As a matter of fact, Seattle had the best record against the spread in the NFL last year, as Seattle is traditionally underrated by Vegas. And, yet, only Denver has higher odds of winning the Super Bowl next year.
@MatthewCortina @65_dave Never know when to quit and admit you lost the argument Matthew? Give it up you don't stand a chance here.
@MatthewCortina @GasolineSnuggie Hey Guy :) the season is over and Seahawks are SB XLVIII Champs. Go Hawks.
@MatthewCortina @GasolineSnuggie Hey Buddy : ) 10-1. I know you said after the season but you also said halfway through.
@MatthewCortina @GasolineSnuggie @65_dave @HienHoang Go Pack. I see now. Still sour grapes. And you tell us to grow up haha. What a bunch of self entitled cry babies
@MatthewCortina @GasolineSnuggie @65_dave @HienHoang WHAT GOOD POINTS HAHAHA??!?!?!? We refuted everything you said! With actual facts! Even your most asinine "Fact" of the Hawks missing the playoffs had not the beaten GB. Your response to actual facts being presented:
"Welp we'll see."
"Take it easy. This isn't a back alley."
"Haha I love defensive fans. It's a real mark of confidence."
@MatthewCortina @GasolineSnuggie @65_dave @HienHoang Oh my. Called it.
@GasolineSnuggie @65_dave @MatthewCortina @HienHoang What I want to say is enjoy your circlejerk, guys. But I just posted about bringing civility to the discussion.
What I like most is how bothered the two of you have gotten. Notice how when someone posts garbage and can't speak, you ignore them. But when someone brings up good points, you turn into over-compensating, defensive savages. I'll say it again: Grow up.
Lots of support for a franchise that's never won a Super Bowl and who's most famous moment is when Matt Hasslebeck predicted a touchdown and threw it straight to Al Harris to lose the 2003 divisional playoff.
Enjoy your season. Good luck. AND GO PACK GO!
@65_dave @GasolineSnuggie @MatthewCortina @HienHoang Yep, it's sad that too many football fans resort to ignorance when they have an opportunity to learn. When you don't know what you're talking about, ask some questions - there's a life lesson for you, Matthew.
@MatthewCortina @formido @GasolineSnuggie @zipflopomg Great rebuttal of his actual facts.
@GasolineSnuggie @MatthewCortina @HienHoang Dude right? I like his "Fact" that if the Hawks had lost to GB they wouldn't have made the playoffs haha. Classic football ignorance.
@MatthewCortina @GasolineSnuggie @HienHoang Tell me that you're not a fan of the Niners, Packers, or Vikings. I would bet serious money that you are.
mystafugee: I cited my evidence for my statements: just because it's sports, doesn't mean you have to be ignorant.
This dude can't even quote three of my words right. "Major injuries", not "any injuries". If Russell Wilson or AP or Brady is out for the year in week 2, it's obviously a different season than what anyone expected.
I'm not going to debate with someone who's not interested in having a serious, open dialogue. Bring actual facts or shut up.
@GasolineSnuggie @HienHoang @MatthewCortina Haha "barring any injuries." That's part of the game. Green Bay won the Super Bowl in 2010 with 15 guys on IR, including 8 or so starters.
Listen, I'm a fan of football. And I've watched a lot of it for a long time. I'm no expert, but I know that only one team can win the Super Bowl. And to talk and to present your team as if it is a foregone conclusion that they'll win is foolish. I'll put my money on New England, Pittsburgh, New York, Green Bay or New Orleans before I put it on Seattle this year, because they've been there. They have established QBs. They build through the draft. And they act like a team. Seattle may do some of those things, but they haven't done it for very long. Can they do it? Sure. And they demand respect, but let's just calm down the rhetoric.
And I don't see why a counter-argument is disrespectful. If you can't handle criticism for your team and come up with an intelligent, non-derogatory rebuttal, then don't expect respect from other commenters. Don't assume I'm a fan of some rival team because I want to have a discussion about the Seahawks. I'm not like you--I want to debate this team, not make you feel stupid for thinking the way you do. Grow up and try to raise the level of discourse on this site.
@GasolineSnuggie @HienHoang @MatthewCortina You sound awfully paranoid, you think everyone has some agenda or vendetta against your team. It's just sports.
@HienHoang @MatthewCortina @GasolineSnuggie Hien Hoang, it's about spewing negative factoids because of personal jealousy or bias ("and a team that wouldn't have made the playoffs had it not been for a blown Hail Mary call" - still the 5th seed, and arguably the right call). It's about respect (the Adderall crap was spoon-fed to Matthews all over America for page clicks and TV ratings). Re-read Matthew's first comment and see if you can spot the blatant uneducated-commenter trash-talk (let's analyze half of RW's season without context!!!).
I have no idea why Matthew has a personal vendetta against the Hawks (maybe he's a 49er fan or jealous Vikings fan? maybe he doesn't know much about football?), but it's disrespectful to comment like his ideas mean something when we Hawks fans know exactly what team we have. We know the potential and the results that potential can lead to - both positive and negative. And I don't know about you, but I respond to the tone that is directed at me with similar tone. I don't need some smart*** telling me what's proper. If I see ignorance, I'll respond harshly.
Personally, I wouldn't disrespect another fanbase by going on an article about their team and commenting with the assumption that my views are as good as fact. That's just me though, and maybe the internet doesn't necessitate values...
Bookmarked, Matthew. I'll check it in January. Barring major injuries, I fully expect this team to be 11-5 or better.
@GasolineSnuggie Why do fans have to get so defensive when people say anything negative about their teams? The proper response should be, alright Matthew, see you at the end of the year and how would you like your crow served?
@formido @MatthewCortina @GasolineSnuggie @zipflopomg
All stellar points from everyone. I am not vested to the Hawks - i live in phoenix but i admire the Hawks greatly. The cards will be lucky to make 7-9. Palmer was pedestrian at best the last few seasons.
I love Wilson and I think he will be good - he was phenomenal in the 2nd half of the season and did fairly well in the playoffs as well (102 QB rating with 3 TDs, 1 running TD and 1 INT). I hate Sherman's mouth but admire his play.
I also agree with Matthew though - a lot of these spread QBs will be "figured out" now that the NFL has had a year of film. My personal belief is that Kaepernick, Wilson and RG3 are due for a correction in their Sophomore season. I also think that the 49ers are going to be in a spot of bother with their secondary in a mess. Rams will be improved but not sure if they can beat SF and Seattle 2 times each. This division will be a dog-fight between those 3 teams (not the cards - Palmer is not half as decent as Luck. Luck already has matched Palmer's playoff record in 1 season) but I still see Seattle and SF in the playoffs. The Hawks D is way too good not to get them there.
@formido @MatthewCortina @GasolineSnuggie @zipflopomg Welp we'll see.
@MatthewCortina @GasolineSnuggie @zipflopomg
As a rookie, Wilson improved so much over the course of the season that, over the last 10 games, he led the NFL in ESPN's QBR. You don't like QBR? He also led the NFL in passer rating and ANY/A over that span.
BTW, far from Seattle getting lucky with the Green Bay win, Seattle significantly underperformed its Pythagorean wins. Their record belied how good they actually were, as being #1 in DVOA at Football Outsiders attests.
You've obviously got a lot invested in your "Seattle is overrated" narrative. You'll save yourself a lot of heartache if you analyze this issue a little more objectively. Things don't quite appear to be heading the way you think they are. :(
@GasolineSnuggie @MatthewCortina This is what we'll do, guys. I'll bookmark this page. Midway through the season, or maybe after season we'll come back to it and see how the season went. Not after week 3 when Russell Wilson leads the league in Passer Rating bc they beat up on Carolina and Jacksonville, but after the season. Good luck. You'll need it if your expectations are as high as they seem.
@MatthewCortina You're in denial and/or full of jealousy. Especially if you think you are using facts.
Once again, have fun watching the Seattle Seahawks make your team look like a college team.
@MatthewCortina @GasolineSnuggie @zipflopomg
Stop being a hater and look at this team objectively.
"Half the season, he was sub-par." Exactly, half the season. The 1st Half. And for the 2nd half he had the highest QB in ALL OF FOOTBALL, not just the NFC West, not just the NFC, all of the NFL.
"St. Louis beat you last year and has only improved." On a fake field goal. And you seem to leave out how we beat them also. And you seem to think the Hawks have been sitting on their laurels all off season.
"And they have a real QB now and the best defensive player in football." Who pray tell is this "best defensive player in football"?
" I was referring to the amount of talk compared to the results." Give me a link to where the team itself has referred to itself as a "Dream Team" or anything of the like.
Again, all of the FA signings are for DEPTH. Harvin was a trade and is the only guy expected to be a starter, and again. Did fine without him last year.
@GasolineSnuggie@MatthewCortina@zipflopomgFacts are not banter. Stats are not banter. Stop being a homer and look at this team objectively; it'll save you heartache in the long run.
Half the season, he was sub-par. I showed that with stats above. His stats were padded in a few blowout wins.
Harvin won't be back til at least after Thanksgiving.
If you're older than 25, you are aware of Pete Carroll's history. If this is your first experience with him, then yeah I'm sure he's great at the moment.
I'd check Arizona and St. Louis in your rearview mirror. St. Louis beat you last year and has only improved. Arizona has a coach that took a terrible Colts team last year in crazy adversity and made it a playoff team. And they have a real QB now and the best defensive player in football.
A team with that many suspensions should raise red flags. It'll come back to bit you.
Percy Harvin, Cliff Avril big free agents. I wasn't talking about the way the team was built when I compared them to the dream team (although Harvin and Avril came over this year), I was referring to the amount of talk compared to the results.You can believe what you want.
@MatthewCortina @zipflopomg All of your points are baseless banter.
One of the best rookie seasons of all-time. 100.0 QB rating. Who else has done that? Marino? 26 TDs and 10 INTs. Manning threw 26, but he also threw 28 INTs!
Harvin wasn't on the team last year and his return will help an already strong group. Rice's procedure was long-scheduled and not in response to anything new.
PC doesn't talk at all really - unless you're talking about press conferences...?
It's the toughest division in football because it has Seattle and San Francisco. SEATTLE and San Francisco.
PED violations have been overblown by the media.
They would have been the 5th seed with a 10-6 record.
This team has been built through the draft and has stars playing on 3rd and 5th round contracts. They're nothing like the "Dream Team".
Have fun watching Seattle make your team look like a college squad.
@65_dave @MatthewCortina @GasolineSnuggie Feels good to be vindicated against the stupidity he spewed!

Remembering 1942
Sydney Under Attack: Japanese Midget Submarine 31 May – 1 June 1942
Looking back on the Japanese midget submarine attack on Sydney
Neil Roberts' story
On the night of 31 May 1942 Able Seaman Neil Roberts was stationed at HMAS Kuttabul. The converted ferry was used as accommodation for seamen waiting to be assigned to ships. Neil had finished sentry duty just after midnight and returned the Kuttabul to get some sleep. He had climbed up to the upper deck of the ship and wearily got into his hammock, fully clothed. This is his account of what happened next:
I lay down and went off to sleep and there was this terrible explosion and my reaction was when I woke up was to try and get out the way I'd come in.
Now that was almost foolish because I could have stopped where I was and I would have been in no danger, but in the panic I went down the steps to get out and by this time the vessel was sinking and a wave of water came up the stairs and the thing was starting to settle on me; so I had the option then of just diving underwater and swimming underwater out through the side of the ship and swam across eventually to a sea wall.
I climbed up the sea wall and when I was there a rating came running up to me and wanted to know where the officers were and I said that I think that everybody's dead and that was my impression. I seemed to be the only person alive standing there and when I asked the rating what his problem was he said that there was an unexploded torpedo; this was the second torpedo that they fired, further up Garden Island underneath gun wharf that had split open but it hadn't exploded. Then people came running up to me and took me off into the hospital, where I remained for two days.

Es una rara anomalía en la cual falta la válvula pulmonar o no está bien formada. Esta válvula permite que la sangre desoxigenada viaje del corazón a los pulmones. Cuando falta la válvula pulmonar, las ramificaciones de las arterias pulmonares se agrandan mucho y ejercen presión sobre las vías aéreas en el pulmón, causando problemas respiratorios.

China is now the world's largest market for smartphones.
In 2012, China will account for 26.5% of all smartphone shipments, according to new data from International Data Corp., well ahead of the U.S. market at 17.8%. IDC says China's market is driven by "strong end-user demand and an appetite for lower-priced smartphones."
IDC analyst Wong Teck-Zhung said in a statement that prices of low-end Android phones in China are likely to fall to $100 and below as competition intensifies. But IDC also expects continued strong growth for high-end phones, "which are desired as status symbols."
Heres's a look at IDC's data on the top five smartphone markets – now and in 2016 (Note they are ranked by expected market share in 2016):

Dark Stylish Living Room Design Ideas
A living room doesn't always have to be designed all in pastels and neutrals. If your tastes lie within the darker color palettes go for a dark stylish living room. There are many stylish color choices for a living room from black gray to chocolate brown or deep red. The right accessories will make the room welcoming enough yet leaving mystery to it.
Mystical vs. Boxy
The main thing to consider before buying dark wall paint is to assess the room dimensions as the darker colors make the room seem smaller. To avoid the boxy feeling opt for lighter hues or leaves the dark color scheme to the furniture and decorations. Natural lighting may improve the boxy room but lighter shades still work better in smaller rooms.
Details and accessories are important in any color scheme. Choose those carefully to create harmonious arrangements. Opt for soft textures as well to make the dark room more welcoming. Stained glassware and bright accents will brighten up the dark living room making it more interesting.
Contrast makes it more interesting. Choose a nicely contrasting color to the complete the main dark shade. Stripes, trims or color blocks can be very stylish. Just be sure that the colors go well together and don't compete with each other.

HI TRock
Thanks for the thanks it's appreciated.
I wish I was being paid. ..but that doesn't seem to be Daz policy
I'm just passionate enough about carrara to give a shoot,
..but Carrara is also one of the main programs I use every day, ...so, selfishly, ..I want to see it get better.
Kat Briggs (from Daz) posted in a thread in the old forums asking for people who knew Carrara, to help out with the Manual production, ..so I volunteered, that's the only reason I know it's being worked on.
As I said earlier in the thread, anyone with some spare time can contact Kat , and help out,
and if "many hands make light work" then we may get a complete manual quicker.
In the past couple of months, I've not had a lot of free time, so "I dropped the ball" this time, and so far, with the new forum, I've no idea what the current status is.
I'm just finishing off the last big project that took up my work time, so, hopefully I can get back into things with the manual, in the next few weeks.

There are two ways for high school athletes to qualify for the annual state track and field meet.
One — hit a qualifying time or distance during the season. Two — get a top-six finish at the Eastern Dakota Conference regional meet.
Throughout the season, the Hi-Liners had no problems hitting qualifying times and have athletes already booked for eight events.
Saturday at the EDC Regional meet in Fargo, the team will likely get a few more.
"So many of the kids, they've worked hard and some of them have been so close to that time or distance," Valley City coach Trevor Bakalar said. "Everybody that we have going to the EDC really has a shot at placing top eight or, obviously, we'd like to place top six."
On the girls side, the team hopes to qualify some of its talented distance runners specifically Allyson Suhr and April Berntson in the mile.
In meets earlier this year with other EDC competition, both were able to place top eight in the event and Bakalar potentially seems them placing high enough to move on.
The distance runners could also make it in as part of the 4x400 or 4x800 relay teams, the latter of which narrowly missed state last year.
Though the boys won't be running a 4x800, Bakalar said the boys 4x400 — likely to be run by Colin Naeseth, Dereck Durheim, Casey Englehard and Kyle Knutson —could also contend for a state spot.
"You've always got a chance in a relay," Bakalar said.
He also said distance runner Nick Lee has an "outside chance" of making state in the two-mile, as do the sprint relay teams, which narrowly missed state last year.
He's also expecting qualifiers from the field side.
For the boys, Bakalar said Durheim has consistently improved in the long jump throughout the year and could make state with a good meet.
"He's been our personal record guru," Bakalar said. "He's always getting better and better."
For the girls, Abby Brown and Bekah Peterson are already headed to state as sprinters, but could also qualify as jumpers.
"Triple jump is their strength and they way they've been jumping, if they can continue to jump that and improve just a little bit more then I really see them getting in there," Bakalar said.
Tonya Van Dyke also could qualify as a thrower.
Bakalar said the field events are especially open for competition.
"That's the crazy thing about some of those field events because it only takes one throw or one jump to do it," he said. "The kids surprise themselves sometimes."

Welcome to Media Literacy, Fall 2012!
6 Comments
Clay pointed out that we need to estimate whether the sacrifice (for the cultural change) is worth it or not. So, discuss whether using Internet is profitable for our society or not as concerning as Carr's warning.
Breube spoke about how media trys to portray gay in a positive light by relating it to upscale white men. Wouldn't it be more profitable to try to appeal to all the gay lesbian community? Or are they just trying to appeal to the non-gay community and make the gays more likeable to that demographic?
Ather015, Just reading your question about Breube's point about portrayal of homosexuality in the media, made me think instantly about when he talked about stereotypes in his article, and consequently I thought about Will and Grace. This show both portrays the heternormative stereotype of what a gay man should be: Will, a single, white, upper-middle class, wealthy lawyer, and what society thinks the stereotype of homosexuality is: Jack, a single, feminine, unsuccessful, financially underprivileged gay man. This raises my question of how do you think viewers at home are influenced differently by shows with characters that play into socially constructed stereotypes that deals with a controversial topic within society, like homosexuality, versus shows that do not. Are their beliefs in stereotypes strengthened or not? Do these characters represent a somewhat an accurate reflection gay men in the real world--if so to what extent?
I agree some argument from Carr's reading that Internet tend to make people to think simple compare to the past. However, I think Internet influenced helped give more comfort and in positive way rather than negative influence.
I disagree with Carr's argument that internet made people tend to not read a book and just search and think simple way.
But nowadays, many people read e-book through their i-pad or kindle to make their backpack lighter rather than carrying heavy hardcover books everyday. I truely believe that Internet suggested the solution and provide comfort at the same time that Carr argued one of the problem of the Internet.
So then how can Carr explain about the advent of 'e-book'?
While reading Carr's work I found myself being an example of what he was writing about. I find myself wanting my mind to run like "high-speed data processor" but only when looking at something on the internet/computer. So if our minds are "plastic" and most readings that we do is on the internet, how we re-mold our minds into the deep readers that used to be? practice?

Westmoreland County Vet Sentenced To Probation, Fined For Filing A False Tax Return
PITTSBURGH, Pa. - A resident of North Huntingdon, Penn., has been sentenced in federal court to five years probation and a $30,000 fine on her conviction of filing a false tax return, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.
Senior United States District Judge Alan N. Bloch imposed the sentence on Lisa A. Findlay.
According to information presented to the court, veterinarian (and former CPA) Lisa A. Findlay falsified her personal income tax returns, as well as the corporate returns for Countryside Veterinary Hospital, Inc., for the calendar years 2002-2006, by diversion of funds from the corporation, which she concealed by falsification of the corporate tax return. The total amount of corporate funds diverted during the five-year period was $272,199.13, which resulted in a tax loss to the federal government of $79,414.00.
Judge Bloch ordered the defendant to pay all taxes, penalties and interest within 90 days of sentencing.
Assistant United States Attorney Leo M. Dillon prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
U.S. Attorney Hickton commended the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Findlay.
Protect yourself from fraud, and report suspected cases of financial fraud to local law enforcement.

Stillste Stund (German: Stillest Hour) is a German musical group. It was formed by Oliver Uckermann and female vocalist Birgit Strunz in 1998. The lyrics are written primarily in German, supported by male and female vocals. The band's name comes from Friedrich Nietzsche's most famous book: Also sprach Zarathustra. Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Second Part - Die Stillste Stunde.
There were originally two supporting female vocalists: Birgit Strunz and Inanis Kurzweil. Inanis appeared on the band's first three releases.
Ein Mensch, ein Ding, ein Traum, the band's debut album, was released in mid-2000. In May 2002, Stillste Stund was nominated as Best Newcomer Band by German music magazine Orkus. The ever-popular "Der Untergang" from Ein Mensch, ein Ding, ein Traum, was featured on four different compilations, all in two years. Some of the lyrical content is inspired by legends and fairy tales and the thoughts of such notable German philosophers and novelists as Friedrich Nietzsche, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Joseph von Eichendorff, and Hermann Hesse.
In 2001, the band released their second full-length album Ursprung Paradoxon. Its release gained Stillste Stund much popularity throughout Europe and even parts of South America. The music consists of theatrical, classical, and industrial influences. The band's album artwork and sleeve design and website design is all made by Birgit Strunz. This album featured the first part of the Alice Trilogy named "Alice (Der Spiegeltanz). Originally the track was written for the anniversary of their label Alice In... and was inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Their next album Biestblut - Zwei in Einem (Ein Gedankenkonstrukt in sieben Szenen) appeared in late 2003. The musical content of this concept album has a much more classical influence. "Nebelland", "Golem", "Weltwinternacht", "Sublunaris", and "Wo die Wirklichkeit schweigt" are among some of the notably popular tracks from Biestblut. This was also the last album featuring additional female vocal support from Inanis Kurzweil.
In 2005, Stillste Stund presented their fourth album Blendwerk Antikunst as a worthy successor to Ursprung Paradoxon. The lyrics are written mostly in German, with the exception of three songs in English: "Apocalyptic Noon", "Darksomely", and "Obsessed With Purple".
The most recent album Von Rosen und Neurosen - Eine erlesene Sammlung grausamster Albträume was released on March 14, 2008. The standard edition features twelve tracks all sung in German. The limited edition of this album includes a bonus disc named "Alice EP" with ten tracks that continues and ends the very popular story that began on the second album Ursprung Paradoxon with the track "Alice (Der Spiegeltanz)"(amongst other titles the EP features a rematered version of Alice (Der Spiegeltanz) and unshortened versions of Alice II and III).

(TeleManagement) A study suggests that taking calcium supplements can help reduce the risk of recurrent colorectal polyps, the benign tumors that can lead to colon cancer.
Researchers at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H., studied 930 patients who had one or more polyps removed from their large intestine. Patients took either two calcium tablets or two dummy pills per day. Patients then underwent a colon examination nine months and 36 months after treatment began.
Study results showed that among patients who underwent both colon examinations, the risk of developing at least one polyp between the two examinations was 17 percent lower in the calcium group than in the placebo group.
Researchers point out that one of the benefits of this treatment is that calcium supplements do not cause side effects. Researchers also speculate that calcium supplements may be just as effective in reducing the risk of polyps in people who have not been diagnosed with colorectal polyps.

"Many people in Israel worry that Jewish people will one day become a minority of the population, and that they once again become subject to persecution"
And so they persecute minorities first? While East Africans make up <1% of the population and could never threaten the Jewish population in a hundred years or more. It is sad that they do not understand the irony.
The aspect of "sub-humanness" and discrimination is quite complex.
some months ago, there have been comments by ovadia youssef that gentiles/non-jews were presumably "born to be the slaves of the jews".
then, there are controversial passages like this one Talmud Bava Metzia 114b; Talmud Keritot 6b:
" adam atem karuin, ve eyn haovdey coxavim karuin adam." (you (jews) are called man/human, the gentiles (roughly "praying to the stars") are not called man/human.
in addition, you have people who do not consider non-jews worth of first aid at the time of shabath. (see shahak, i.: jewish religion, jewish history + gentiles in the jewish state.
some people undoubtedly regard "jewishness" to be superior. racist and nationalist ideology is mixed up. the consequences are very dangerous, not only for gentiles / non-jews but in the long run probably also for jews.
it seems many of these racist ministers and rabbis and ordinary people are either aware of the fact and their agenda is to promote conflict or if they are not aware of the respective repercussions of these dimensions. so, they should definitely reflect more profoundly.
just check literature by people like israel shahak, norman finkelstein, noam chomsky, yeshayahu leibovitz (sixrono livraxah) who were/are very critical of jewish nationalism.
there are many outrageous examples of a purportedly religiously based chauvinism and racist hierarchy.
by the way, even some literature for children in Israel is extremely racist very similar to dehumanizing antisemite/antijewish ouevres.
just check oz yaoz and others heros' adventures where arabs are described and denominated as pigs, cruel, cunning liars, etc. - jewish heros by contrast like to kill and destroy the enemy arabs, who are known for having killed their parents, etc.
basically, against this background, I d suggest that the jewish community has to address some of these issues to change perceptions. and the non-jewish community should also try to address these conflicts in cooperation with jewish people, in the interest of humanity.
unfortunately though, there s rarely a voice that speaks out loudly against the manipulation by certain people.
as some people like eyal sivan and others have shown through their films, the instrumentalization of history and religion might really endanger the state of israel.
and finally: what is actually the "jewish character of israel"?
respect the commandments, respect all the supossedly "613", (maybe more, maybe less?), respect the laws of the or modern state of israel? respect non-jews as equal? try to promote peace and wealth but for whom precisely?
it seems many questions are still unanswered?
What you are witnessing is a repeat of how the Jews were treating in Germany. In 2012 the Israeli are the Nazi's and the Africans immigrants the Jews. This confirms my belief that Jews and Israeli are racist deep down in their hearts. Considering how they treat the palestinian people and now this, just shows what a hateful people they are. So tired of their complaining about the holocaust , they have become the oppressors. They are a fascist and racist society, time to arm the Palestinian and all other Arab country need to invade and fight against this facist and racist state called Israel.

Even in his lifetime, Robert Capa was described as the greatest war photographer in the world. An ironic achievement for a man who loathed war, no one better embodies the photographer as cultural soldier, and no work better encapsulates the violence and brutality of the twentieth century. This volume presents a rich selection of Capa's work. Today, the wars of the twentieth century may have aged from wounds into scars, but Capa's images remain as devastating as ever, reminding us that despite loss and destruction, humanity persists.

THE speed at which a hurricane progresses across the ocean may help forecasters predict which areas are at risk from flooding by storm surges.
When hurricanes strike, flooding causes more damage than the wind, and kills more people. To predict the severity of a surge, forecasters tend to rely on factors such as the size and the intensity of the storm. Now Joao Rego and Chunyan Li of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge have calculated that a hurricane's forward speed influences the peak height and inland "reach" of surges.
The pair fed measurements from 30 sites in Louisiana and Texas hit by hurricane Rita in 2005 into a computer model that relates the severity of a surge to the hurricane's speed of travel. When they raised the speed in their model to the maximum realistic value, the peak of the surge was 7 per cent higher than Rita's, and ...

Our favorite Squash wrap grip is the Squash Galaxy Wrap Grip. We've been in the business a long time and always get requests on what our favorite wrap grip is for squash so we went out and made our own! The Squash Galaxy Wrap grip has a smooth and extremely tacky feel and is the appropriate length and size for any squash racquet on the market. It's only $8 to have it installed at the time of purchase.
The Tecnifibre 305 17g string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable then the Tecnifibre 305 17g string we suggest.At the time of purchase, the Tecnifibre 305 17g restring upgrade is $21.95. It's normally $36 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $14 if you choose the upgrade right away. The tecnifibre will fray before it breaks and that's completely normal so don't worry about it!
If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Silencer (Our favorite), Head Smart Sorb, Head Megasorb, or the BBB (Big Bad Band).
A question we get everyday is "What is Grommet Tape?" It's a piece of tape that goes over the head (bumper) of your racquet. Sometimes you need a restring because of a broken bumper. For an extra buck to add this, it could save you $25-40!!
We recommend an overgrip for players that tend a sweat a lot, want to build up a grip, or wear through wrap grips very often. An overgrip is thinner and wears quicker than re-grips, but can be changed much quicker and easier than a re-grip. We recommend the Wilson Pro Overgrip, but for those looking for the best sweat absorption, durability, and feel... the Overgrip/ Re-grip gives the best combination. Note** when an overgrip is installed, you will not be able to see the re-grip if chose to have it installed.
We get follow up calls/emails everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the performance of the racquet.

As of today, Nate Silver puts the probability of Obama winning the state at 86.7 percent.
And her "husband" would, in all probability, be that big, dreaded prison dude known as "Bubba."
The major cities on the East Coast now have a 40-50% probability of experiencing tropical-storm-force winds.
mid-15c., "quality of being probable," from Old French probabilite (14c.) and directly from Latin probabilitatem (nominative probabilitas) "credibility, probability," from probabilis (see probable). Meaning "something likely to be true" is from 1570s; mathematical sense is from 1718.
A number expressing the likelihood of the occurrence of a given event, especially a fraction expressing how many times the event will happen in a given number of tests or experiments. For example, when rolling a six-sided die, the probability of rolling a particular side is 1 in 6, or 1/6 .
A number between zero and one that shows how likely a certain event is. Usually, probability is expressed as a ratio: the number of experimental results that would produce the event divided by the number of experimental results considered possible. Thus, the probability of drawing the ten of clubs from an ordinary deck of cards is one in fifty-two (1:52), or one fifty-second.

We all admire butterflies — those tipsy, kaleidoscopic dilettantes of the insect world that flit and flutter in the bright sun.
Few of us have time for moths — well, they're drab and dusky and doom-laden. They may come out to party at night, around the bright lights, but so many spiral hypnotically straight into hot bulbs or naked candle flames with a fizzing hiss… Those that manage to find a wall on which to rest and nurse their disco night hangovers will be picked off by birds, first thing next morning. It's a tough life.
But let it be known that they're more successful than their glamourous cousins. There are around 10 times as many species of moths as there are butterflies. Figures I've come across range from 1,20,000 to 1,60,000 species worldwide.
Technically, there's no real difference between them and butterflies, except that they do not have clubbed antennae which butterflies do, and prefer to be out and about after dark, when all good butterflies are asleep… Their life cycles, too, are pretty much the same: going through the usual egg-caterpillar-pupa-adult metamorphosis. The largest, the Atlas moth, has a one foot (30 cm) wingspan, and is as big as a small songbird; the tiniest is the size of a pencil point. And while butterflies may be the glamour queens, all dressed up in flashy, rainbow hues, moths prefer earthy and ethnic colours — their tastes (I find) are more refined and genteel and classy. Their taste in food — like those of butterflies — is eclectic. Apart from nectar, they'll enjoy liquid mud (for minerals), dung, wine, rum, urine, fruit juice, body fluids from dead animals, rotting fruit, and blood, sweat and tears — even yours! It's a liquid diet, and some, like the Atlas moth, don't eat at all — they have no mouths — and live off (for about two weeks) the fat they're born with.
They're not entirely defenceless: I was once "pepper sprayed" with a hot pungent liquid by a large hawk moth I was trying to photograph. Some caterpillars wear fur coats of stinging hairs (the Wooly Bear caterpillars), or an armour of spines and hooks. Some moths have furry bodies which muffle the ultrasonic clicks bats emit while homing in on them and literally "jam" their radar; others are bolder and emit clicks of their own, warning the bats that they're revolting to eat and to stay away. They have a harder time dealing with us: we boil alive the pupae of silk moths to extract silk and consider many of them agricultural pests. At best, some moths get their revenge by laying their eggs in our cupboards so that their caterpillars eat our silk and woollen clothes. …continued »

Lake Lucerne Attractions
The Vierwaldstätter See or Lake of the Four Forest Cantons (the three original cantons of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden together with the canton of Lucerne) is commonly referred to in English as Lake Lucerne, but this is, in fact, only one of the lake's many arms. Lying at an altitude of 437 m/1,434ft, it is the fourth largest of the Swiss lakes (area 114 sq. km/44 sq. mi), length from Lucerne to Flüelen 38km/24mi; greatest depth 214 m/702ft), but is second to none in magnificence and scenic variety.
The great mountains with their endless scope for walks and climbs are reflected in the spacious surface of the lake. The famous lookouts of the Rigi, Pilatus and the Stanserhorn are brought within easy reach by mountain railroads and cableways. The beautiful shores of the lake with their southern vegetation offer numerous swimming places. The neat towns and villages provide luxurious or modest accommodation at the visitor's choice. These attractions, plus the lake's associations with the origins of the Swiss Confederation and the legend of William Tell all help make the Lake of the Four Forest Cantons one of the most popular tourist areas in Europe.
The lake begins in the west as the beautiful Luzerner See (Lake Lucerne), with the Bucht von Stansstad (Stansstad Bay) and the Alpnacher See to the south and the Küssnachter See (Lake Küssnacht) to the northeast. Then come the Weggiser Becken (Weggis Basin) and, beyond the Rigi and Bürgenstock promontories, which reduce the width of the lake to only 825 m/902yd, the Gersauer Becken (Gersau Basin) and the Buochser Bucht (Buochs Bay).
Running south from Brunnen is the Urner See (Lake Uri), a fjord-like strip of water enclosed between massive rock walls, scenically the most magnificent part of the lake.

Study: Stocks reacted to rule
Board-nominee edict struck down
Posted: December 18, 2012 at 12:25 a.m.
A study by a University of Arkansas professor concludes that passage of a federal regulation making it easier for some shareholders to make board nominations improved the value of company shares the day the ruling was passed by a federal commission. But the rule never took effect because it was struck down by a federal appeals court in 2011.

Henry County Public Schools has its first confirmed case of the flu, but officials do not believe it's the H1N1 strain.
HCPS superintendent Tim Abrams said Friday that the district has one confirmed case of flu at Eastern Elementary School.
Abrams learned that residents with flu symptoms in our region are not being specifically tested for H1N1 because the flu so far has been mild.
Local health department officials confirmed that assessment.

David Neville is a farmer. But David Neville also is an auctioneer. And he'd like to combine the two.
In the near future, Neville will open Capstone Produce at the former Southern States building at the intersection of Kentucky 55 and U.S. 421 east of Campbellsburg.
For the last five years, Neville said, he's been looking for a way to do a produce auction. That, he said, would be similar to the livestock auctions he already conducts for places like Tri-County Stock Yards.
With a second-year program and a roster full of inexperienced and young players, Jay Dunavan said he is more concerned with how his Henry County boys' soccer team handles its losses than what the final score reads. And as the season progresses, Dunavan has liked what he's seen even though his squad is still looking for its first win with an 0-4 start.
Have you ever been cooking something, and, as you blithely added a little of this and a little of that, the concoction suddenly got really big?
My mother has told about the first pie crust she ever tried to make after she was married. She put too much water into the mix of lard and flour so that the dough got too sticky. Naturally, she added a little more flour to help balance out the ratio, but then the dough mixture was much too dry. You can guess what happened. In tearful desperation, she finally gave up and threw out the huge ball of dough.
Scoring 37 points in a scorching second quarter, the Henry County Wildcats broke the program record for points in a quarter en route to a 50-13 win over Owen County and a perfect 4-0 start to the 2009 season.
Both Henry County and Eminence cross-country teams competed at the North Oldham Rumble in the Jungle meet all day Saturday, finishing off a busy first week to the 2009 racing schedule.
Two people have been indicted after they allegedly attempted to cash forged money orders in Henry and Shelby County businesses.
Anthony J. Hewitt, 31, Crestwood, is charged with 20 counts of second degree forgery. Miranda Armstrong, 27, of Eminence, is charged with four counts of possession of a forged instrument.
In July, Armstrong purchased 20 money orders for $2 each at the Eminence Post Office according to post office employee Angie Lantz.
Except for some problems I was having with my squinty right eye, I was set to have a good morning last Thursday — I ended up taking out one contact to the urging from my grossed-out coworkers, which left me feeling lopsided for the rest of the day.
Jordan Powell, daughter of Jerry and Joyce Powell of Eminence, recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Kentucky College of Design with a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Interior Design and minor studies in art history. She has been awarded a job with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as an Interior Designer in Louisville. She is currently residing in Jefferstown.
Losing 4-1 to Frankfort last Wednesday night, coach Shannon Snider said afterwards that his Henry County girls' soccer team needs to accelerate its progression.
The Ladycats, in just their second season at the varsity level, dropped to 0-5 with the Frankfort loss and have three games this week — they played at Oldham County on Monday, host Owen County on Wednesday and travel to Kentucky Country Day on Thursday. So far this season, against a tough schedule, the Cats have lost to North Oldham, South Oldham, Fern Creek, Shelby County and Frankfort.
