Riah of Joan & Riah's Reviews and Giveaways has posted her review and giveaway for our TheraBrite Whitening products. Riah talks about her own background with her teeth. "Now for some background on my teeth, I was a teenager once upon a time, believe it or not… lol And back in those ancient times we did have a few topical treatments, but mostly our pimples, yes my pimples were treated with antibiotics. Well antibiotics stain your teeth and stain them bad, and it's embarrassing… now these products don't claim to even touch teeth like mine with ages upon ages of antibiotics causing those stains, but who could blame a girl for trying?" Were we able to help her whiten her teeth effectively in the comfort of her own home? Go here to find out and to enter her giveaway for a chance to win some TheraBrite Whitening products of your own.
Thrifty and Frugal by Debbie is back for her second TheraBreath review and giveaway. This time around, she's reviewed our new Multi Symptom Probiotics. Debbie opens up about her youngest child's battles… "I've done a discussion about my poor youngest's teeth issues that she was born with, during my last TheraBreath review, and how badly this has affected her life, her self-esteem, and so much more on so many levels. Tweens and teens are so impressionable, and are at a delicate time in their young lives with the self-esteem thing, especially girls (although, boys may have it bad too, I don't know, as I only have girls). And having bad breath doesn't help with any of it that at all. Well, first off, she LOVES TheraBreath's lozenges. I can't tell you how many boxes I've stocked up on for her, and since the teachers consider them 'mints' and not cough drops or medicine, they let her have them in class, which helps her a lot." Is our new probiotic a help to her daughter? Click here to find out and to get the full details on her thoughts of our products. She's also hosting a giveaway for a box of our lozenges, so make sure to pay Debbie a visit.
Fabulous Finds by November Girl xoxo has posted her review and giveaway of our three top products: TheraBreath toothpaste, oral rinse and mouth wetting lozenges. Go here to find out what she thought and enter her chance to win some TheraBreath products of your own. This busy blogger has tested out our products for a week. She talks about what she liked about our mints: "I really liked the gentle mint flavor, nothing about these products overwhelmed me. I didn't have the feeling like I was rinsing my mouth with razor blades like most traditional mouthwashes I've used. I really love the mouth wetting lozenges a lot. I found these little mints to be my favorite product by far. I find myself using these little mints often throughout the day." Did she like the rest of our products as much? You'll have to visit her blog to find out.

John Harris (circa 1792-1873)
Artist associated with 4 portraits
John Harris, artist and facsimilist, was the son of watercolour painter John Harris (1767-1832). Harris studied at the Royal Academy where he specialised in miniatures. He exhibited occasionally between 1810 and 1834. Harris worked for Whittaker, a printer and bookbinder, from 1815 until about 1820. In 1820 he began his long association with the British Museum where he produced facsimiles of missing pages from antiquarian books, the work for which he is best remembered.

Please add your own? During a movie:
1. When things explode, the pattern of bits flying off the thing which is blowing up no longer looks random.
2. When everyone else is enjoying a movie's special effects, you're disappointed they only used stock 3-point lighting.
3. You instantly estimate the movie budget, the moment the movie title rolls onto the screen.
4. The credits are more interesting than the ending that the script writers chose.

Graduate School of Education News
Teach at the beach
Sitting in a circle on the beach, 15 teachers' heads are bent over their notebooks, writing away as they ponder their connection to this location. Seemingly oblivious to the mid-40 degree temperatures and the threat of rain in the distance, each one is dedicated to the task at hand. After several minutes, they are asked to share with a partner, and energetic faces turn to nearby peers to hear and tell their stories.
Each of these teachers, as well as the 30 more at this retreat, had given up their first day of spring vacation to attend an overnight workshop at Camp Westwind. These dedicated educators, who teach in Lincoln County and Portland, were attending the second annual Pedagogy of Place Retreat in March, a professional learning experience for teachers that is all about bringing literacy and learning to the outdoors.
Professors Jill Bryant, Jennifer Roberts, and Tobias Irish, faculty in the Graduate School of Education, joined their collaborative partners from the Oregon Coast Aquarium, the Lincoln County School District, and the Westwind Stewardship Group, to host these dedicated teachers on their learning adventure. Teachers spent 24 hours at Camp Westwind, located just north of Lincoln City on the Salmon River estuary, being writers themselves, learning about the teaching of writing, and having a little fun along the way.
Teachers had opportunities to explore the Salem River watershed, comb the beach, and hike through old growth forests as they explored a single question, "What happens at the edges?" As participants journeyed throughout the area, they made observations, collected data, discussed their inquiry questions and hypotheses, and, most importantly, they explored ways to bring writing into the field.
As a part of the retreat, teachers produced writing from all genres, including personal stories of how they connected with the place in which they were learning, poetry and other prose inspired by their surroundings, expository writing that included personal field guides and other data collection techniques, and argumentative writing to evaluate the value of a place such as Westwind. These writing activities, similar to ones they could do with their own students in the classroom or the field, provided opportunities to write in ways that helped participants process, ponder, and pontificate.
While writing was certainly the focus, there was plenty of time for fun, too. This year, teachers were asked to "brand" their environmental literacy initiatives, creating slogans and jingles with new catchphrases to help others understand their work. The fun activity resulted in raps, songs, bumper stickers, and billboards, but also lots of laughter and camaraderie. Throughout the retreat, participants made up songs, walked on the beach, and sat by the campfire, enjoying the company of peers and colleagues in ways most have neither time nor opportunity to do in today's busy schools. The Pedagogy of Place Retreat was created to be a safe haven for teachers, a fun and relaxing way to learn and reconnect to other professionals and to the environment in which we live, work, and play.
As one participant shared, "[The retreat] is in a beautiful location, and it's a great escape! More importantly, you learn lots of great teaching techniques and ideas for writing in the field." Teachers valued the time to share with one another as well as learn from their hosts, and they "loved the variety of activities and that we learned through doing rather than just reading or hearing about them."
The partnership between the four organizations began last year as a way to provide professional learning experiences for Lincoln County teachers to support them in connecting their students to the ocean, which is, for most students in that county, right in their own back yard! The school district sought out partners who could support teachers in their marine science content knowledge, their skills in literacy integration, and their understanding of how to teach outdoors and access local resources for teaching and learning.
Jill and Jennifer began working with the partner organizations last year, along with Larkin Smith (BS '09, MAT '10), who is a teacher at McKay High School in Salem. New Clinical Professor Tobias Irish joined the team for this year's event. Each WU partner brings something unique to the experience, but they all share a love of teaching, learning, working with teachers, and outdoor learning. "I am grateful for every opportunity I have to work with teachers, helping them to find new and better ways to bring learning outside the walls of schools," said Jennifer.
The teacher participants had high praise for their experiences, and their one complaint was they wanted MORE! It's not often you hear busy classrooms teachers, who are, in most cases, already overloaded and overworked, ask for more of anything, but this experience has proven so rewarding, they see the value in additional "time to present, reflect, collaborate."
The partners hope to continue the retreat for years to come, as they see the valuable opportunities it offers local educators. For them, it is important for teachers to have learning experiences that are meaningful for them. One participant's final words illustrate this goal. "I feel inspired and I am returning to my students with so many new ideas. Actually, I have more than ideas. I have the valuable field notebook that you created for us! I know I will be a better teacher with all these plans!"

NEW YORK—The captain of the Seastreak fast-rail commuter ferry that crashed into a Lower Manhattan pier on Tuesday said he tried to reverse the ferry before the collision but the ferry did not respond.
According to a congressional-backed agency that sent 11 members to investigate the accident, both of the ferry's diesel engines stopped working, but the captain was still able to steer, the agency said Thursday.
Investigators from The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will test the control, navigation, and engine systems Friday. NTSB staff interviewed the crew members and their captain Thursday, and is also undergoing interviews with the engineer.
The captain, Jason Reimer, 36, has 17 years of ferry experience and a working license, according to the NTSB Twitter feed.
The Seastreak ferry, which was coming from Highlands, New Jersey, was carrying 326 passengers when the accident occurred. The hard landing injured at least 74 people, according to Wall Street Journal.
The ferry was dubbed the "green ferry" after its propeller system was refitted earlier this year, cutting carbon-dioxide emissions in half and making it 33,075 pounds lighter, according to a statement released in August by the firm that did the project, Incat Crowther.
It remains to be seen whether the new propeller system contributed to the crash.

Before my trip to NC, Aimee mentioned Mama Dip's to me, and I was sold. I wanted to eat everything on the menu… and I wanted to buy a picnic basket to take home… I planned on visiting, but a shift in scheduling and changes to party… well, I almost didn't get to go, until I decided what the hell, I'm only down there every once in a while, so I ditched my friend and went alone. When I first arrived to the fairly large restaurant, my awesome server asked if I'd like some hot cider. Umm, yes! this was [...]

My last trip to NC found me returning to NYC with the horrible realization that I'd failed to visit Allen & Son's, where, by all accounts (ie, the friends I have whose food opinions I respect deeply), amazing BBQ can be had. So this trip, I made a special point of hitting up the charming shack at the intersection of big road and other big road, pulling into what I think was a parking spot in the lot out front just as rain started falling, mistily, over a chilly NC. One of the few times I wasn't flying solo in [...]
Schramsberg & Fremont Diner

Filed under American, Americas, By Name, California, Cheap Eats, Cuisine, Restaurants, San Francisco, Travels, United States
I actually spent a few days in wine country this year for my birthday, and ate more than just Thomas Keller establishments. SFG mentioned several times – okay, more than several times – how much he'd loved Schramsberg when he visited on his sole trip to Napa Valley 5 years ago. I'd shamefully never heard of Schramsberg previously, and was game to take a tour… unfortunately, they were all booked when we looked online. Then, the clouds parted and the sun shone through – 'ahhhhh' – and we were squeezed in for the industry tour, which had a slightly more [...]

Since I returned home, it's been nonstop- can't even explain all that I've been up to just yet. But I've been cooking – doing some serious cleaning out of my pantry and everything – so here are some photos of what I've been making and eating! Porterhouse I had in the freezer from Fresh Direct – simple seasoning, high heat seated on both sides. Served with miso mushrooms! Didja really think I could finish an entire porterhouse? (Even in my heaviest eating days, I couldn't. Protein makes me hit the wall really fast.) The leftovers were served over a simple [...]

A couple weeks ago, it was announced that Mad. Sq. Eats was coming back once again this Spring. CT and I have both enjoyed it a lot during past iterations, so it wasn't a question of whether we would return. As it has become quite popular, it is all about when you go. We decided to go for brunch this past Sunday hoping to beat the crowds on what turned out to be one of the nicest days of the year. This time around there were a bunch of new vendors than in the past, which helped freshen things up [...]

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/3/12
The Dallas Mavericks pulled off a surprising win in their season opener but failed to carry that momentum into their next game. With a couple of days to recover from back-to-back games and the potential return of Chris Kaman, Dallas might have an opportunity to get back in the win column after Saturday night's home opener against the Charlotte Bobcats, who have never beaten the Mavericks. Dallas is expected to play without perennial All-Star Dirk Nowitzki for the next six weeks, but wasn't affected too much by his absence in Tuesday's 99-91 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the favorites in the Western Conference. The Mavericks, though, fell 113-94 to Utah the next night after shooting 37.6 percent. Darren Collison scored a team-high 17 points for the second consecutive game but only three other players reached double figures compared with six overall in the win over Los Angeles. Dallas was also outscored 37-13 in the third quarter. "We would have liked to go home 2-0, bu...

Thermal Remediation Bed Bug Treatment
Guaranteed solutions in SC, NC, GA, AL, FL, MS, TN and VA
When it comes to protecting your home or business from bed bugs, Gregory Pest Solutions plays hard ball with our state-of-the-art Thermal Remediation® Heat Treatment process. It allows us to quickly eliminate bed bugs with minimal preparation or inconvenience.
Our system uses specially designed industrial strength electric heaters to heat the inside of the treated area to a temperature above 120° F. in order to kill bed bugs and their eggs that might be inside of cracks, crevices, furniture, fixtures, and other belongings.
Don't let the bed bugs bite - Sniff them out!
Gregory has bed bug sniffing dogs available when needed such as multiple apartments, hotel rooms or large buildings. Their keen sense of smell allows our experts to find bed bugs and destroy them quickly and efficiently.
Fast, effective solution for:
- Single family homes
- Multi-Family Housing
- Apartments and Condominiums
- Hotels, Motels and Resort Properties
- Offices
- Dormitories
Why Thermal Remediation® instead of conventional pesticide treatments
- Pesticide usage inside the living environments are greatly reduced or eliminated
- Quicker, more complete and effective elimination of the infestation
- Very little preparation required prior to service
- Greatly reduces the chance of re-introduction of Bed Bugs
- No need to throw away mattresses, box springs or other furniture
The Thermal Remediation® process allows you or your residents to leave practically everything in the home or other treated areas - clothing, bedding, furniture, TV, computers: almost everything can be left in place. As a matter of fact, it is important that they do leave everything in place, because bed bugs or their eggs can be in or on anything, and our bed bug exterminators don't want to let any survive.
How the Process Works
Gregory's Thermal Remediation® Heat Treatment equipment is a self-contained system that utilizes space heaters and monitoring devices which are powered by the system and monitored throughout the process to achieve a safe and effective level of heat within the treated areas. The heat kills all stages of Bed Bugs: eggs, young, and adults. A heat treatment involves the following steps:
- The entire treatment area is heated to 120° F. or higher. Once the heat in the treated area reaches the optimum temperature, it is maintained for 4 hours in order to ensure complete eradication of the infestation. The hot air is circulated using fans, and temperatures are monitored throughout the treatment area(s) during the process.
- An application of residual insecticides may be made into the cracks and crevices where any surviving Bed Bugs might be crawling. In most cases, this process eliminates all Bed Bugs within the treated area(s).
- After the treatment is complete, the Gregory Specialists will disassemble and remove the equipment and do a final inspection to make sure all Bed Bugs are gone.

American Idol
DeAndre Brackensick Says He'd Sing Backup for Girlfriend Jessica Sanchez
Just how smitten is DeAndre Brackensick with girlfriend Jessica Sanchez?
In a recent interview with Blogcritics, the former American Idol Season 11 contestant admits that he doesn't have anything immediately lined up after the American Idols Live! summer tour, but that he wants to stay focused on his music career and will do anything to work in the biz — which includes supporting Jessica musically.
"I really want to push my music, whether it be background singing or anything," said DeAndre. "Like, background tracks or if my girlfriend needs a background singer when she goes on tour. Anything."
If that's not devotion, we don't know what is!

Our experience at Auberge Amerik was wonderful considering we were travelling with our one-year-old grandson and his parents. We felt at home during our stay and it was pleasurable to wake up in the morning with breakfast and coffee ready for us in the downstairs breakfast room. Our hosts, Francois & Nicola were very helpful and gave us some great tips in where to go for meals with our grandson along with ideas for parking downtown during the Winter Carnival. It's a great location to stay in while seeing the city's main attractions. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

I arrived in Quebec in December and was heartedly welcomed in Auberge Amerik. François, the owner, is warm and energetic. He is there to give good advices and make the stay unforgettable. You feel at home at once, the neighborhood is beautiful and you have easy access to the heart of the city by foot or bus even in wintertimes. I stayed longer than was planned... Nicola

I stayed at the Auberge Amerik for a couple of months and found it to be a warm and cozy place. It was peaceful and clean and close to all the amenities. The proprietor Francios is very pleasant and helpful. I would certainly recommend the Auberge Amerik to anyone, and on my next trip to Quebec it is where I will be staying.

Forget mugs and tea towels, for the dedicated royal memorabilia enthusiast, there are some true oddities to be found. Roadshow expert Marc Allum rounds up his top 10 in the May issue, on sale now. Here's a little taster…
Royal dog collars
Although our Queen plumps for corgis as her canine of choice, the pug has long been the favoured pooch of royalty. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor had as many as 11 of these feisty hounds – apparently, they all ate out of silver bowls and were perfumed with Miss Dior! I was particularly taken by a group of five dog collars and a lead that were sold in 2008 by Bonhams in New York. This little collection gives us a candid insight into the personal life of the couple and the affection they held for their dogs. One of the tags is inscribed, 'I belong to the Duke of Windsor,' which would make any small dog feel much more important. They sold for a very reasonable $1,680 against a $600-$800 estimate.
Queen Victoria's wedding cake
I once tried explaining to a Frenchman that the British give all their wedding guests a piece of the cake and that it was also customary to never eat it. He thought I was mad. It's a tradition that has strong historical roots and high on my list of unusual royal memorabilia is a box stuffed full of royal fruit cake that arrived at the Roadshow in Swindon last year. Every piece (and there were well over a dozen) was individually wrapped and annotated with details of the christening, wedding or birthday from which it had come – all related to Queen Victoria, Albert and their family. The box also contained all sorts of wonderful items, including part of Victoria's wedding dress train. Assembled by a person in service and passed on through the generations, the collection was certainly unique and I had no hesitation in valuing the box and its contents at £5,000.
Coronation chairs
It's hard to imagine how some of the more unusual pieces of royal memorabilia come on to the market. An invitation to the coronation or a place card are well within the realms of possibility… but the furniture? It seems that those who occupied the chairs and stools from past coronations were given the option of purchasing them; the remainder were auctioned off by the Ministry of Works. If you fancy the idea of parking your posterior in the same position as a blue-blooded bottom, then these wonderfully undervalued 'privileged perches' can be bought at auction remarkably cheaply. Between £50-£100 will secure quite a good little velvet upholstered Maple & Co George VI coronation stool. However, there are some exceptions to the rule and the recent, well-publicised Althorp Attic Sale saw a group of two chairs
and a stool used in the coronations of George VI and Elizabeth II realise £6,875.
Queen Victoria's smalls
Proof that Queen Victoria's smalls were not so small was had when a pair of her bloomers with an, ahem, 'stately' 50-inch waist sold for almost £5,000 at Hansons Auctioneers in Derbyshire in 2008. The subject of royal underwear is a delicate one but the market is booming and, for many collectors, articles of Victoria's more personal apparel are the 'crown jewels'. Such items usually fetch hundreds of pounds. In March last year, for example, Lyon & Turnbull sold a pair of Victoria's black-and-white hand-stitched stockings – believed to have been her favourite design in the 1870s – for £550. On some occasions though, the prices go sky high. Shortly after the sale of Victoria's bloomers, a similar pair of stockings, also at Hansons, ran up to an amazing £8,000. They are now on display at Ruddington Framework Knitters' Museum
in Nottingham.

Vince Gill confronts Westboro Baptist Church protesters outside concert
The Westboro Baptist Church, infamous for their anti-gay protesting at the funerals of U.S. soldiers, zeroed in on a new target on Sunday (Sept. 8). Vince Gill, however, didn't let the demonstration happen without comment.
As Westboro protesters gathered outside the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City, Mo. to picket Gill's concert, objecting to the singer because he divorced his wife in 1998 and married Amy Grant two years later, something the group considers adultery, Gill stood up for himself.
A video of the incident, which appeared online Tuesday, shows Gill approach the protesters, with one asking, "Vince Gill, what in the world are you doing out here?"
"I just came to see what hate looked like," Gill replies.
"Well, more importantly, what are you doing with another man's wife?" the protester lobs back. 'Don't you know that divorce plus remarriage equals adultery?"
Gill strikes back with a question of his own: "Don't you know that you f***ers are lucky that you don't have a sign that says something about my wife?"
He points to another protester and says, "I've seen you on TV, man. You're a big dip-s***," before asking, "Are any of you guys Phelpses? Or are you guys, like, the C-Team?" Gill is, of course, referring to Westboro founder Fred Phelps and his family.
Check out the video above, but beware Gill's NSFW language.

Dawn of a New Day
Ten Things I Think I Think
1. I think there are more than four active players who have at one time this offseason considered coming out of the closet. I'd still predict that none will come out this year, but it's only a matter of time before the NFL has its own Jason Collins.
2. I think the birth of the week in the NFL (you mean someone actually keeps track of such things?) is Kamryn Olivia Buchler, six pounds, two ounces, born Wednesday at 9:58 p.m. PT in Los Angeles to parents Amber Theoharis and Todd Buchler. And here's the rest of the story: Theoharis was due to have her second child by C-section Aug. 12, and so she arranged with her NFL Network bosses that this past Friday, July 19, would be her last day at work. Theoharis is an NFL Total Access host (that's NFLNet's nightly news wrapup show, airing from 7-8 ET, 4-5 PT). Wednesday was a normal day. Theoharis wrote her script for the show, had her makeup put on, and walked out to the set at about 3:55 p.m. That's when she began feeling queasy.
"I'm not feeling great," she told set partners Willie McGinest and Warren Sapp. During the first long break in the show, around 4:15 PT, she texted her friend, senior coordinating producer Ronit Larone, and said she was having the same feeling she had when she gave birth to her first child, Dylan, two and a half years ago. "I jumped out of my chair," said Larone, "and got over to the set. Amber was chill. As calm as can be. I said, 'Come on. Let's go. And she said, 'What are you talking about? I'm staying. Todd's on his way.' Larone pressed the issue, but Theoharis insisted she could make it through the show—and since her husband wasn't there yet, and he was the driver, and Theoharis seemed certain—she stayed on the air. Whisked by her husband to the hospital (and still in full makeup), Theoharis found time to text Larone during the drive, "I might not be coming in tomorrow." That's because you are going to have a baby tonight, girl. The doctor told her upon arrival: "You're in labor." Less than four hours later, here came the family's second child. I'm just wondering if Theoharis can teach a Concentration 101 class.
3. I think Chip Kelly-to-Philadelphia is the most compelling migration from college to the NFL since Jimmy Johnson-to-Dallas in 1989.
4. I think I know what you're thinking: Wait a minute. What about Spurrier-to-Washington in 2002? Saban-to-Miami in 2005? Good ones, and much-anticipated. But there's so much mystery around Kelly, from what his crazy-quilt offense might look like to importing a Navy SEAL trainer (Shaun Huls) to whip the players into shape, using everything but drones in the process. Johnson, remember, came to the NFL not only as the very hot college coach, but he had two other things going for him. He was going to play a different defense than any coach ran in the league—emphasis on small and cat-quick. And he was succeeding one of the legendary coaches of all time, Tom Landry, who'd been pushed out. Spurrier's heart was never in it. Saban? I didn't have the same feeling as I do about Kelly, maybe because Kelly seemed so more of an innovator than Saban was in college.
5. I think Johnny Manziel can have all the smart, well-spoken and well-handled press conferences he wants. But it's not the media he has to convince that he's a hard-working guy who isn't over-sowing his wild oats. There's a short list of people he must convince: Cleveland president Joe Banner, GM Mike Lombardi and coach Rob Chudzinski, Jacksonville GM David Caldwell and coach Gus Bradley, Oakland GM Reggie McKenzie, and, well, you get the picture. Manziel's job now will be to not let any more 2:03 a.m. bar photos get on Twitter, and his job next spring will be to convince teams he's more quarterback than party boy.
6. I think the unimportant part of the Robert Griffin III/readiness story is whether he will be cleared to practice on the first day of camp. There's really no need for him to be taking every snap, or really any snaps, the first couple of weeks of practice. The important part is that he'd be able to go by about Aug. 15, which I hear he will. I have very little doubt—barring an additional injury at training camp or in a preseason game—that Griffin will be the Washington quarterback 49 nights from now, when Philadelphia comes to D.C. for the Monday-night opener.
7. I think similar questions are being asked in New England about Rob Gronkowski's readiness in New England; the Patriots have their first practice Friday at 9 a.m. Gronkowski has had five surgeries in the last nine months, and the Patriots will need to see how his back has responded to treatment this week before they can start to predict if he'll play at the start of the season. The Patriots could choose to place him the Physically Unable to Perform List, and keep him out for the first six weeks of the regular season. They could make him one of the 53 active players entering the season, and simply de-activate him for two, three or four weeks, say, until they feel he's in satisfactory football shape. Or he could play at the start of the season. I think it'll be PUP or deactivation for two or three weeks, but no one can know until the teams sees how he feels and responds to physical activity.
8. I think, sometimes, especially in the summer, good football stories can get lost, because, well, a bunch of us who cover the game get lost in the summer before camps open. But this story by Pete Prisco of CBSSports.com is a great example of having a good idea and developing it into a great piece of explanatory journalism. Prisco asked Adrian Peterson to break down his recovery from the ACL injury, and asked him to dissect three running plays. Peterson is very good at opening up about his running style, and he remembers specific pieces of plays the way golfers remember what club they used on the third shot of a par-5 hole three months after it happens. I highly recommend the story. Good job, Pete.
9. I think you wouldn't think of the Cowboys as a team that's been totally made over. But from the day Jason Garrett took over as head coach 40 games ago, there's been a pretty good makeover: Only 17 of the 90 players who began practicing for the new season Sunday were Cowboys when Garrett coached his first game in mid-2010.
10. I think these are my non-football thoughts of the week:
a. I have found the greatest crime story this side of Whitey Bulger, from the San Francisco Chronicle.
b. I mean, if you're looking for the easiest story to find in any search engine, use any of the following and you'd find the very, very strange story of a man from San Francisco, Christopher Hall: "Deputy public defender Phoenix Streets," "bear mace," "hacky-sack circle," "extensive combat training," "aerosol can of bear repellant" and "shirtless neighbor."
c. My cool, memorable, only-in-New York highlight of the week: We are huge Curb Your Enthusiasm fans, and my wife got us tickets to see the new improv-type movie starring and directed by Jeff Garlin, the agent-to-Larry in Curb. So we went to the movie, Dealin' With Idiots, about a crazy group of youth baseball parents and crazier coaches. Afterward, we learned when we arrived at the theater, Garlin would be taking questions from the audience about the movie. Fun! The movie is fun, and for those who like unscripted comedy riffing, a la Curb, you should find this one. The ending was a hilarious outtake of a field caretaker trying to measure the distance between the pitching rubber and home plate using an uncooperative tape measure. I have a kind of howling laughter with humor like that. So when Garlin took the stage to talk, the first thing he said was, "Who's the guy with the tremendous laugh?" I raised my hand. Guilty as charged. Good thing Garlin loved it and didn't have me thrown out. Someone asked Garlin about a comparison to Bad News Bears, and Garlin pooh-poohed that. Said the movie took 12 days to film, he never looked at dailies or re-shot anything, and had a total budget of $750,000. "I'm no Walter Matthau," he said of the Bad News Bears star, "but I'm good."
d. Bonus: I got to meet Garlin and his co-star in the movie, J.B. Smoove, who was on hand. And if you remember the greatest love-advice scene in the history of Curb, you'll know J.B. Smoove very, very well.
e. Welcome to the Sports Illustrated family, Doug Farrar. We are happy to have you writing football for us. You're working with a good one in Chris Burke.
f. I give you permission to sign Dustin Pedroia for a ridiculous sum of money, Red Sox.
g. How great was that Mariano Rivera moment in the All-Star Game? Nobody doesn't like Mariano Rivera.
h. This will be the first time in column history I've been nice to the Yankees in two consecutive notes, but it's damn sad watching Derek Jeter unable to get and stay healthy.
i. I like how aggressive Bud Selig and Michael Weiner are being—at least from a distance—on PEDs in baseball.
j. Yasiel Puig is to outfield debuts what Fernando Valenzuela was to pitching ones.
k. Why Buster Olney rules: He had a stat the other night that David Ortiz, with his 506th career double against the Yankees, tied Babe Ruth on the all-time doubles list.
l. In the TV world I follow, this would qualify as a "Wow": Keith Olbermann and Nate Silver together on Olbermann's new ESPN2 show, as the New York Times reports is likely. I'll be watching that. Silver leaving the New York Times … bummer.
m. Coffeenerdness: Belated thanks to Continental Coffee, the family coffee shop on Commercial Street in Vancouver. The place not only makes a tremendous latte with very strong espresso; the signature atop the foam is a picture of a leaf. So nice you don't even want to drink it. Next time you're way out west in Canada, head over to Commercial Drive and give it a spin.
n. Beernerdness: So my favorite white beer, Allagash, of Maine, has had an expansion project up at the brewery in Portland, which is good to hear. The business is growing by about 40% a year. Found it amazing on my Pacific Northwest vacation to have seen it on tap in two different Seattle places. Can't keep a great beer down.
o. I'm not down on The Newsroom. I want to be clear about that. But I think I've figured out why I like Aaron Sorkin's shows but don't love them. The dialogue's too perfect. Ever notice in The Newsroom that one perfect line flows after another, like one character isn't listening to what the other is saying and is just intent on getting out his/her line, usually in a hurry? But the story's good, and I'm watching.
p. Speaking of Olivia Munn, she'll be in The MMQB on Wednesday. No spoilers, though.
q. I could read about the Bulger trial all day. The Boston Globe is doing a fabulous job covering it.
r. RIP, Helen Thomas, an inspiration to anyone who ever wanted to write politics.
s. Golf is foreign to me, but great sporting accomplishments are not. Congrats, Phil Mickelson. A 66 in the clutch at Muirfield? Tremendous.
The Adieu Haiku
Thanks, all, for reading.
You're the reason this site lives.
Should be a wild ride.
You have 10 THINGS YOU THINK YOU THINK. I have 1 THING I KNOW... this site is now terrible. Thanks for taking the one thing that millions of us probably sat down to read and enjoy over Monday lunch at our desk and making it an annoying pain in the a$$. Coaches and general managers get fired I would suggest taking a hard look at the CNNSI MMQB project manager, web designer and any other associate that was involved in creating this mess. Who tested this? Did anyone do a focus group with some users? Enough complaining here is a suggestion... Add a subscription link so we can all get just your Monday article emailed directly to us on Monday morning - then we can get just what we want. Until it's fixed I'll read somewhere else probably here: http://msn.foxsports.com/ Look how clean and simple that is. Might want to pass that on.
This new format is terrible. MMQB was a must read. Now? Forgetaboutit!
Print button, please.
Not a great start when your first new hire has grammatical errors in his bio..."asking my two brothers and I..." C'mon folks!
King congrats on the site. I'll be a regular visitor, looking forward to it.
Peter, dude, where is your Mailbag? And where is the "Email Peter King" link? The 6 letters you've printed in your Mailbag from me over the last decade won't fit into a Tweet. We need email. :)
Nice plug for Payton regarding the gift to Parcell... Not sure that olive branch will yield any fruit. I'm afraid you burned that bridge to N.O. back in 2012 Peter. Good luck with that and Geaux Saints!
Greg Bedard is the best nfl writer I have ever read or heard comment on the nfl. Give this guy a chance
Yuuk! Peter have read your MMQB column and enjoyed for several years. Very much liked your take on the NFL. Don't like the 'new' column. Too much puff. Like to be able to pick out the writers I wanted to read. Don't care about the three additions to 'your' coumn, no matter how much boasting you offer for them. May be find writers, but would have found them on my own if interested on their take on the NFL. 'New' column is waaaaay too long. Not sure if I will continue reading.
I agree with all the comments about printing. You should definitely fix that problem.
I've been wating for the mailbag column too. Not overly impressed with the new site either. It's just NFL coverage. So it's in a new format, who cares? I like MMQB column because Peter is excellent writer. Maybe the other writers are excellent too, but I won't read them more because they are on the site Peter "runs". I am going to continue reading Peter's columns, Don Banks' columns, and then the other things that sound interesting - exactly as I always did when everything was just on NFL page of SI's home site. It all just seems far too complicated for no real change. Sorry, Peter.
Did I miss something? No mailbag column last week; no mailbag column this week. Did Peter just stop responding to mail for no reason, or did he actually post that he was done with the mailbag column and I just missed it?
It's never enough anymore to just have a good thing and stick with it. Nope, we must EXPAND! FRANCHISE! LINE EXTEND! It's the Wall Street mentality. Who cares if you have a multi-billion dollar company, we only care if it's GROWING! I'm sad to see that MMQB has fallen victim to it. I'm sure the money was too good to pass up. Just like when the NFL inevitably expands to 18 regular season games and 16 playoff teams, it's a happy day for the money men but a sad day for the fans.

can someone please explain to this man what constitutes a haiku? I keep writing but he won't listen. These are not haikus. It takes more than the right amount of syllables per line to equal a haiku. I keep sending him proper definitions but he won't listen. Very insensitive to both an art form and a foreign culture but then again didnt Mr King print Tommy Harrison's anti Semitic jokes with no apology, simply removing the text when caught (however it remained cached by google for days)
More Olivia Munn, less baseball!
I'm already sick of hearing about the Cowboys. They are not 'America's Team' anymore. And not very good. Jerry Jones needs to get out of the picture. Until then any head coach there is a straw man,.
Waaaaaaaaaah! So sorry that you had to read a few paragraphs from a football writer about a team you don't like. Does your diaper need changing, little fella?
Little beeyotch.
Cowboy way? Does that mean blow and strippers the night before each practice? Daily seminars led by Tony Romo of "How to be a Clutch Performer"
This has the feel of an SNL skit turned into a movie. Listen, I loved the Watabi brothers movie and a few others, so it could work. The key is the people writing not named Peter King. And if it's overkill with all NFL, all the time. Presumably, we're all King fans that have come here. It was the same thing over at Grantland, Simmons brought people to the site but in enough cases, other writers have kept me coming back. But Grantland covers other sports, TV, movies and pop culture. Good luck to all involved. Oh yeah, put a print button somewhere so I can read this in the crapper. Thanks.
Not a fan. MMQB was ok, but doesn't deserve a website. It was just the only thing of it's kind, and now it's become bloated. Way to ruin a good thing, King. I'll look to real websites like CHFF and ProFootballFocus - this is the same old fluff - just more of it..
Can I get a word count on Alagash White? I'm pretty sure it would crush the Ravens.
holy cow peter. the first two pages of this is you introducing what you are doing. We see what you are doing. I just want to read MMQB like I have been for years. JUST GIVE ME MMQB WITHOUT ALL OF THIS FILLER!
The problem with the Cowgirls isn't their coaching, its the fact that they have the most inept GM in the business.
I know it's a game of page clicks, but no way to view the full article is miserable.
How much does Peter get paid to constantly push HBO shows
Holy crap "put it in print" guys. DANG. Quit whining soooo much after the first day. They got it! Okay! Shut up!
Pete, the haikus. No....just........no.
Does anyone have a link to the MMQB regular site? For some add reason, I can only access the low vision version.
This format will take some getting used to.
KING OF THE BLOWHARDs -- nobody says less with more
It's good to see a writer who REALLY knows football is getting his due and his own gig. Mostly everything PK writes is insightful and entertaining. It seems like there are too many hacks out there that restate the obvious. Keep it up PK!.... BTW, u hiring?........ Jk.
@Mrboxer178 You think King knows football? I guess that's why you enjoyed his column, because you know even less than he does. There is less football in MMQB than most articles - the horrible Haikus, pedestrian insights into beer, etc, etc... King is just lucky there is no competition because everyone is as lazy and uninformed as he is...
Please provide us a print version option. I hate going on a sports sight and all they have is a video option. If I wanted video I can watch espn.
Ask Rod Marinelli how that "small, cat-quick defense" worked out....

Peter, Where's the contest for those of us who read all the way to the end of the first blog?
After traveling this summer, i thought you were going to tell us what a great deal $3.50 is for a bottle of water... 50% to the airport and 50% to the vendor. Think of it as another airport tax.
And traveling this summer, I noticed I pay more rental car fees per day than the cost of the rental. You should be a pro on that one.
Great start to a new site.
Congrats on the new site. All I can say is outstanding! You all should be very proud. Was fortunate enough to make 2 trips to Allagash this week. 1 on our trip into Sebago Lake for a case of house beer and the second on our trip home today to refill the wooden house beer rack and to pick up some of their other specialties. Great place. They've expanded the retail/tasting room. Worth a trip back when you have the time.
Thanks Peter for the providing reading every Monday Morning, I always looks forward to it.
At the end of the first page, it use to have all the page numbers and a feature that said "Show All", would be nice to have again. Thanks, enjoy the column weekly, can't wait for Denver versus Baltimore, Denver is my favorite since Peyton went there. Have a good one.
First off, to those griping about no print option. A fellow named Jason Purdy who I assume works on the MMQB site repeatedly posted the following earlier today: "hello! thanks so much for your feedback. we hear you loud and clear and we'll make sure to add a "view all" button to the pagination so you can hit Control-P/Cmd-P in your browser." Not a perfect solution but close!
So take a deep breath and slowly untwist your knickers.
More importantly, Mr. King, MMQB has become ritual in our home here in Reno. Thanks for producing such a consistently great 'must read'. Good luck with the new adventure....can't wait to see how it unfolds.
With the new format I was hoping that somebody would clue Peter King that factoid doesn't mean what he thinks it does. A factoid is that Ben Franklin was the fourth president of the USA. A fact is that Ben Franklin was NOT the fourth president. A factoid looks like it could be true, but it is not.
And definition number 2? Or do you have the discount dictionary?
Seek accuracy, and ye shall find.
Actually, a "factoid" is a "briefly stated, usually trivial fact".
As Casey Stengel said "....you could look it up...".
fac·toid noun \ˈfak-ˌtȯid\ Definition of FACTOID
1: an invented fact believed to be true because it appears in print
Just because people use it wrong doesn't change the real meaning.
How convenient of you to only provide the portion of the definition which supports you position while totally ignoring the second accepted definition which makes his use of the word acceptable. I'd assume it was simply a difference in dictionaries if I hadn't found EXACTLY the same definition as you.
fac·toid noun \ˈfak-ˌtȯid\
1: an invented fact believed to be true because it appears in print
2: a briefly stated and usually trivial fact

Arkansas station KARK was interviewing some locals about a storm that had rolled through, when something unexpected happened.
A naked man emerged from the woods and began walking down the street.
As you might expect, the locals weren't too pleased with their new visitor.
The police were called and 22-year-old Nathaniel Koba was arrested and charged with indecent exposure and public intoxication.
"Let's go out there and start an ass-kicking contest."

Xbox One Production Could Temporarily Cease
Too much supply and not enough demand
While the Xbox One was not the primary topic of discussion, implications were made that Xbox One production might cease or slow down in the coming months.
According to Microsoft, 1.2 million Xbox One consoles were shipped globally in addition to 800,000 Xbox 360s within the third quarter. Last week, Microsoft had announced that five million Xbox Ones had been sold to retailers but didn't provide any numbers as to how many of those consoles were sold to consumers.While the Xbox One has seen impressive sales numbers, Microsoft revealed back in January that three million units had been sold to consumers, there are units just sitting on store shelves. To deal with the inventory surplus Microsoft CFO Amy Hood said, during the investor call, "We do expect to work through some inventory in Q4."
In that same call, however, she also referred to, "channel inventory drawdown for Xbox consoles" which could mean a halt to production or slowdown of production until the stock currently sitting on shelves has been sold by retailers.

investment in equipment and want to maximize the return on that investment. They are reluctant to buy new equipment unless there is a need that cannot be satisfied any other way.
The technology needs of these industries are driven by (1) increasing work depths, (2) more stringent inspection requirements, (3) new environmental monitoring requirements, and (4) the need for increased operating efficiency (i.e., greater submerged endurance, better sensor resolution, increased operating speed, and an ability to operate in a wider range of sea conditions).
The majority of the marine industrial sector faces challenges similar to those of the offshore oil and gas industry, fisheries, environmental companies, and equipment and service providers. Ocean science research and technology development that lead to reduced environmental impact of offshore activities, increased efficiency in the workplace, and improved data collection, assimilation, and dissemination would be of value to a wide range of nonmilitary marine users. ONR is a leader in the development of marine technology and could play an important role in providing technology that would produce such benefits. Research and technology development sponsored by ONR could be applied to a broad range of marine industry needs besides the four areas mentioned earlier in this chapter.
For example, an important emerging need in the marine industry, both for the near-term and increasingly for the long-term, is the ability to operate systems remotely at water depths to 3,000 m, for extended periods in a cost-effective manner. Undersea power sources with greater energy and power densities are a major component of these operating systems. The need for remotely operated systems will grow with the increasing depths and costs of oil exploration; its development will greatly affect work vehicles used at depth and the vehicles used to monitor and survey pipelines. ONR 33 directs some of its research toward increasing the energy density of undersea power systems. Increased emphasis on technology transfer in this area could provide large benefits to the commercial sector.
Additional areas of future research with wide applicability outside the Navy may include (1) physics of seismic and acoustic energy interaction with seafloor topography and subsea floor; (2) analysis and modeling of atmospheric processes at a variety of spatial and temporal scales; (3) enhanced systems for shipboard environmental monitoring; (4) improved satellite image analysis; (5) improved modeling of a variety of oceanic processes (e.g., contaminant transport, air-sea interaction); (6) enhanced techniques for waste disposal; (7) corrosion- and biofouling-resistant materials; and (8) improved marine construction designs and techniques.

Learn how to grow and use Moringa leaves, medicinal herbs, and herbal medicine to create vibrant health and an enriched life style. http://www.moringa4healing.com

How To Safely Dry Moringa Leaves At Home
Hi Friends,
I think sometimes the reason why people don't grow herbs is because they don't know how to use them. When you bring home a rose bush, its easy. Herbs are different. Some of them do have pretty flowers like Yarrow, and Mints but many do not. They are grown often for their leaves or roots. Some herbs are difficult to process but Moringa leaves are easy.
Don't be afraid to pick the leaves. Moringa trees grow their branches back quickly. You want to use all of their nutritional bounty. Use the young leaves. If you have baby trees, grow at least 3 to 5 so you have enough leaves. Once they get big, you will be drying a lot of your leaves to keep up with the production. I would say that each family should be growing at least three trees or more. I use the leaves fresh in salads and to make fresh tea. I save the powder for the winter, when the trees will be dormant.

Step #1: Take off a branch with healthy green leaves. Pick off any bad ones. You need to use your Moringa leaves when they are vibrant and green. If you have leaves that are older, use them in your worm compost boxes. I notice there are huge redworms living in my Moringa tree roots. When we had to move up here from California, I had 6 worm beds. I could only take three in the truck. When we arrived here and I was transplanting some small trees, there were more huge redworms in my tree roots then in the compost box. We had lost some of them in the compost boxes when it snowed at the old house. The Moringa trees had been protected in the greenhouse and the worms survived as well there.
Step #2: Wash them gently but completely in your sink. I just run the water over them, turning them to make sure both sides get washed. You need to wash your leaves because they may have dust and because of flies. You want clean product.
Step #3: Shake the water off the leaves and pat dry gently with a paper towel.
Step #4: If you have a gas stove, line the wire rack with a layer of paper towels, then lay the washed leaves on the wire in single layers. Don't pile them on the rack in thick layers. You want air circulation around them.
If you have an electric stove, turn it on to warm for a few minutes before you put the leaves in. Use a single layer of leaves so they don't mold. Again, air circulation is important.
You can also use a dehydrator as well. You don't even need to turn it on if it is an electric one. The leaves are thin, so dry very quickly.
Drying in the sun and shade subjects the plant material to bugs, flies, dirt, mold, and contamination. There is also a loss of nutrients if dried in the sun, by excessive heat , and other factors.

So will close for now. All of you have a great weekend!

29 year old man | Miami, FL, USA | Seeking women 21-31 within 50 miles
hey there
I'm a Miami native and just moved back last year after a while away for a new job in law. I'm equally committed to the start-up company I co-founded while in school. I'm easy going, approachable, and probably too goofy at times. I'm always looking for new things to do. I like to spend my time with friends and family, playing and watching sports (I'm a huge fan of all Miami teams), doing anything outside, and traveling whenever I get the chance. At the same time though, vegging out on the couch or by the pool is pretty hard to beat... Anything else you want to know about me - feel free to message I'd like to meet a girl who is: confident, has a good sense of humor, is driven, happy to spend time together, can make me laugh. I think I'm easy to get along with, but based on some previous, not-so-great match dates, a few more qualifications: (1) I sometimes wear funny socks (I'm an RG3 fan) with my suits. Any girl that feels compelled to text throughout dinner, then not-so-subtly instagram a picture of my socks, and deny doing the same, I dont think it's going to work out. (2) Any girl that has the compulsion to steal drinks of a person standing next to us at a bar when they turn around, and offer it to me as getting us a round, I dont think it's going to work out.

First-Step Summer Transition Program
The First Step Program is designed to provide a comprehensive, two week, summer experience to assist students with learning differences in making a successful transition to postsecondary education. Participants in First Step are charged a fee that includes instruction, tutorials, room and board, course materials, orientation materials, and field trip fees and transportation. The fee for 2012 is $2,600.
Overall, the Program aims to improve the college transition experience of the student, thereby increasing the likelihood of student success in the postsecondary environment. Students participate in simulated college courses, field trips, social activities, and campus and community events. As students become familiar with a campus atmosphere, the academic, social and emotional adjustments that are common with the transition to college are addressed.
Through application of Embedded Learning Strategy instruction within the context of college level courses, and by utilizing a Learning Conversation approach, participants will develop a better understanding of their strengths and challenges, appreciate their learning styles and develop tools to support executive functioning as they also begin to develop self-awareness and self-regulation capacities.
The time students spend at Muskingum during this summer program will help them enter the college environment feeling confident and comfortable. Students will leave with a better understanding of college expectations and tutorial support and a concrete plan for improving their chances for academic success. Students will develop social connections that will be valuable as they enter Muskingum in the fall. Students will also learn to plan and balancing academic and social demands.
First-Step Activities
The two-week orientation program is packed with academic and social activities geared toward easing the transition from high school to college. Every attempt has been made to simulate the activities that occur in the typical college student schedule.
Morning and afternoon sessions may include lectures, labs, presentations, library work, computer work, tutoring, and study groups and field trips. Cooperative learning activities may also be included. Activities scheduled for the evening sessions include social interactions on and off campus and include trips to the mall, basketball or other games, movies, swimming, etc. Students have plenty of free time to manage, and can often be found socializing, exploring the community and pursing personal interests during this time.
A real-life college environment can show students what decisions and choices need to be made and what might be the results of their choices, as well as help students feel more comfortable as they solve problems and make the college transition. Issues related to independent living in a college setting will also be addressed. Time spent at First Step will enable students to become aware of support offices, the computing center, library resources and entertainment areas such as Kelly Coffee House and the Chess Center at Muskingum University.
First Step is staffed by an Assistant Coordinator, a Life Coordinator, Learning Consultants/Associates and student mentors (who may also serve as contact persons for continuing Muskingum students).
The tutorial component of First Step provides students with effective means to enhance learning strengths and compensate for learning challenges. Guidance from someone who is familiar with college expectations, learning strategies and executive functioning becomes essential as students modify existing strategies and develop new support structures. Tutorials which include strategy instruction and application may emphasize time and materials management, organization, note taking, testing, memory, reading, writing, test debriefing, self-regulation and self-advocacy. As students begin to develop a repertoire of individualized learning strategies, they become more effective and efficient learners. Tutorials, which also include a Learning Conversation approach, support executive functioning and create a platform from which the student may develop self-awareness, self-advocacy and self-regulation skills so students will know and get what they need to succeed.
During the two-week period, participants will identify their own individual academic strengths and challenges. Based on this personal profile, students will implement appropriate learning strategies within the context of academic courses and labs. Students will be given assistance as they practice academic skills and build a foundation of effective strategies and systems for use in college. In partnership with their Learning Consultants, participants will evaluate the results of their efforts. Employing appropriate strategies and systems is essential in college due to the nature and volume of work. Post-secondary learning requires students to connect old and new information, extend or make new associations and effectively use their memory capacities. Strategies also provide structure to the higher order cognitive processing skills demanded in college but not stressed in high school.
Admission to First-Step
First Step application is open to any student making the transition from high school to university who has a learning difference. This transition and orientation is appropriate for incoming Muskingum University students or any student with a learning difference who is preparing to enter a postsecondary program and who is seeking specialized transitional support.
The First Step Program is coordinated through Muskingum University's PLUS Program, which has been providing academic support to students for over two decades. Some aspects of the program are geared specifically to Muskingum University's liberal arts academic program, but most topics covered during the orientation are applicable to other postsecondary programs.
For Additional Information about First-Step
Interested students are encouraged to apply early for the program.
To obtain the First Step Transition Program application materials, or additional information about the Program or Muskingum University, please contact the PLUS Program by phone at 740-826-8280 or by mail to the PLUS Program, Walter Hall, Muskingum University, New Concord, Ohio 43762-1199, or contact:

And Apricot which is dead and very Dry
and an Olive which has 1 entire trunk dry.
Can either of these types of wood be burned.
Re: Wood: Olive or Apricot
Olive is a prized turning timber, find a wood turner Im sure they would get more joy from the wood than just burning it. :)
