The Long + Short of It
PHOTO: Alyssa Monks
Last Thursday a not entirely unexpected nor unwelcome event occurred. I was let go from my day job.
This isn't about the details, more about the reality of the situation. Because after the immediate shock subsided, what followed wasn't regret but relief. I'd been unhappy and wanting to leave on my own for so long, months now, that it actually feels as though a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
There's also a part of me that's freaking out about money, naturally. And obsessing over what's to come next, what the next chapter should be. Do I make the blog my full time job? Become a freelance designer? Or go in the direction I've been pulled towards over the past few years – social media for a company I really believe in. They say that you should be paid to be spending your time on what you would be doing regardless, and for me that's interacting with the wild wonderful internet. So it would seem as though the decision isn't really a decision at all.
On the heels of that there's the thought that my next job most likely won't be here in Oklahoma. I've been wanting to head back east towards my family (with the exception of my mom and stepdad, they're all in Pittsburgh) for some time now. The vast majority of my contacts are in New York and I've felt the pull for months to move back. But I own a home, a car, a dog. How are all of these things going to be effected? I've already started making mental lists of what I'll need to get rid of in order to downsize once again. A part of my life I honestly thought was over and done with is suddenly staring me in the face. There's also the idea that timing is everything, I may end up with a rent and mortgage for a few months and that won't be any fun.
But even after all of the possibilities, lists, and what-ifs are said and done I'm left with an overwhelming sense of optimism. This is going to be good. It's going to be just the kick in the ass that the doctor ordered that pushes me towards my dreams. And I know the road isn't going to be easy, that would be silly. But I also know that if I take it step-by-step it's going to be entirely worth it. So bright and early tomorrow morning the search commences, contacts and leads will be followed up with and on, and my resume will be updated. Onward and upward and all that jazz.
PS: Thanks to everyone who's emailed and tweeted their concerns and incredibly uplifting thoughts, your words are more appreciated than you'll ever know.
Catching My Breath
I'm still catching my breath after some technological blog craziness that's had me floundering since Thursday morning. I don't want to waste your time with half-hearted posts today, but I do want to let you all know everything will back to normal tomorrow.
Unexpectedly on the Move.
I'm heading off unexpectedly for a few days, I'll see you back here Friday!
So, so sorry for leaving the blogosphere unannounced!
I came down with a mad case of the flu Monday, the 14th. I left work at 2pm and was out sick the entire week. It was a mess of high fevers, hour after hour of sleep, and lots of medication as well as a few doctor visits.
Monday, the 21st I flew home to Pennsylvania for Christmas and have been here ever since.
Several readers have asked what's up so this is just a tiny apologetic update post. Oh yeah, and my MacBook took a gigantic crap and the display went out. I fly back to Oklahoma tomorrow afternoon and will hopefully resume blogging Tuesday, pending that they didn't wipe out my hardrive.
Hope you all had a lovely holiday!
The Big Three-Oh.
Farewell, dear 20s. You were fantastic, amazing and all of the above. You'll now find me browsing the In Your 30s section of Cosmo and overhauling my skincare routine.
Looks like I'm sharing today with some pretty good company: Matthew McConaughey (40), Trishelle Cannatella (30), Heather Tom (34), Diddy (40), Jeff Probst (47), Ralph Macchio (48), Kathy Griffin (49), Markie Post (59), Laura Bush (63), Loretta Swit (72) and Doris Roberts (79).
PS: To ease my pain on this momentous day, please feel free to send virtual presents…
Blogger's Etiquette.
I received a highly disturbing email from a disgruntled blogger this morning. She insisted I remove a post about a recipe of hers that I posted a year ago. Full credit had been given to her for both her recipe and photograph and linked directly back to her blog and the actual post. Yet she reported me to Blogger for running a "splog" anyway. I'm attaching the email not to call her out, but to get your opinions, ala Carrie Bradshaw. Is posting material that's not your own bad blogging, whether you link to the original source or not??
"Stepped on my toes" simply put you stole a photo, in fact all the photos on your site are stolen some from friends of mine. It does not matter if you link back to the original blog or not. You are directing traffic to your site by using others work. You are operating a splog and I've reported you to blogger."
Internet Issues.
Sorry about going MIA Friday, but the internet has been down. Hopefully after one little quick fix with AT&T in the morning, things will be up and back to normal. Hope you're all having an amazing weekend! xo
2000 and Counting.
Oops! I missed my 2,000th post by one.
I just wanted to send out a quick thank you for reading Design Crush and making me smile on a daily basis with your comments and emails. So thank you, dear readers, and here's to a thousand more! I hope you'll join me for the ride.
A Little Fresh-ness.
Design Crush was starting to feel like it needed a mini-makeover to me, so say Good-bye to grey and goldenrod and Hello to black and cinnamon! The inspiration all stemmed from this image I tripped across.
It's About Time.

For the third straight year, Uganda will face Tanzania for a place in the Cecafa Cup final, write Moses Mugalu and Elly Kyeyune.
The Cranes were the last team to make the last four yesterday, thanks to a 2-0 win over Ethiopia. The result extends Uganda's tournament unbeaten run in normal time, which stretches back to 2007, when they lost to Rwanda at the semifinals.
Such is Uganda's dominance that Bobby Wlliamson's men have won three of the past four editions and, barring an upset, they look odds-on favourites to win a record 13th title. Goals by Geoffrey 'Baba' Kizito and Robert Ssentongo were enough to see off the battling Ethiopians, who created several scares for the Cranes defence before running out of steam late on.
Lead striker Brian Umony fluffed a one-on-one in the first half before he was substituted with a suspected injury. It remains to be seen if Umony will be fit for the semis. But with or without him, Williamson's men are focused on keeping the title on home soil. The win maintains Uganda's perfect run in the tournament, where they have won all matches without conceding a goal.
Uganda and Tanzania have met in the Cecafa semis in the past two editions, each winning once. Going by form, the matchup should be a showdown between the meanest defences against the best attack.
In John Bocco and Mrisho Ngassa, Tanzania have the tournament's most potent attack, having scored five goals each. But the four-man wall of Dennis Guma, Isaac Isinde, Henry Kalungi and Godfrey Walusimbi are yet to concede. Come Thursday, the score will be settled at Namboole.
Earlier yesterday, Mike Baraza scored Kenya's lone goal, as they beat Malawi, to book a semifinal showdown with Zanzibar.

The Vampire Diaries
Logic Fails From The Vampire Diaries Season 3, Episode 7: "Ghost World"
Need your daily Vampire Diaries fix? "Like" us on our Facebook page at facebook.com/TheVampireDiariesFansite, or follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/TVDWetpaint!
The Vampire Diaries is a show where witches can bring back people from the dead, vampires kiss humans instead of ripping their throats out, and werewolves have silky smooth chests when they haven't transformed. And we accept all of this without the blink of the eye. Yet it's the little things that make us scoff and say, "That would never happen." Check out the biggest logic fails from Season 3, Episode 7, "Ghost World."
1. Damon assumes the Ripper has magical mind powers.
Okay, Ripper Stefan doesn't have the best track record for being a nice vampire, but he also isn't invisible and hasn't punched his brother in the face since he returned to Mystic Falls. And yet, Damon just blames his brother for chaining him to a chair and breaking his favorite vase. Come on, Salvatore. You live in a crazy town with witches and hybrids. There has to be a better explanation.
2. Where's Rebekah and her blonde ponytail?
According to Damon circa Season 3, Episode 6, Stefan can't travel two feet without Rebekah bobbing along after him. But the vamp and her Australian accent were nowhere to be seen (or heard) while her ex-boyfriend was getting kidnapped by his BFF, Lexi. She must have been practicing her back handsprings or chatting with Siri on an iPhone 4S or something. Or maybe she was hanging with Tyler, who was very busy not chilling with his uncle from beyond the grave.
3. Mason's totally cool with Damon.
Dear Sir, I can forgive you for many things. I can forgive you for lashing me to a chair, for impaling me with a poker, and for ripping the still-beating heart from my beautiful chest. What I cannot forgive is your lack of apology for doing so. I'm going to refrain from poking you with sharp metal objects and smashing glasses into your head in order to help you to further this plot along and because I'm only in town for one episode, but I do so with some grave reservations. Sincerely, a formerly jerky werewolf.
4. No one thinks about Aunt Jenna? Seriously?
Okay, in the real world, there were probably many reasons Sara Canning couldn't participate in the ghostly reunion, but in Mystic Falls world, Jeremy, Elena, and Alaric don't even mention Jenna? Sure, there was a vague reference to people who don't have unfinished business moving on or whatever, but if Grams came back, couldn't Jenna have as well? One died peacefully in her sleep, the other was vampirized and then killed again in a 24-hour period. Or, at the very least, couldn't the Gilbert siblings have taken a moment to say, "Gee, sure am glad Jenna crossed over. R.I.P.!"
Bonus: The citizens of Mystic Falls once again fail to notice a dead body (Professor Fell) and a full-on ass beating (Lexi busting Stefan's head into a car window).

'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
Hi everyone,
Fired up vmware for the first time in a while, and noticed that NAT-based
networking does not work anymore. I have a nearly identical machine nearby
where this is not the case. Both are running Debian/unstable- however the
working machine is using a k7-based kernel.
I noticed that when I run ifconfig -a there is no listing for the vmnet8
device, which is normally used for NAT in vmware.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
I have tried updating vmware to the latest version, and re-compiled the kernel
modules... still no luck.

New Ideas Spring Forth from CNU Council
Montgomery, Alabama Plays Perfect Host to Weekend of DiscourseSubmitted on 10/18/2011. Tags for this image:
This past weekend, Montgomery, Alabama played host to CNU's NU Council VIII. A contingent of dedicated New Urbanists convened to critically examine the state and shape of urbanism to come.
Through project critiques (such as Dover, Kohl & Partners' Downtown Montgomery Plan and Nathan Norris on The Waters), an assessment on Sprawl Retrofit from Ellen-Dunham Jones, a discussion led by Todd Zimmerman on the emerging demographic collision between the baby boomers and millennials' demand for urban environments, and a presentation on harnessing form-based coding as an economic development tool by Scott Polikov, the council provided a forum for dissecting CNU's progress and current efforts, and laid foundations for new initiatives moving forward.
The setting of Montgomery allowed participants to partake in just some of the positive developments currently happening in the historic city, including a tour of the DPZ-designed community Hampstead, a riverboat tour, and a special farm-to-table dinner at the Hampstead Institute Downtown Farm.
Stay tuned for the full NU Council report, with in-depth summaries of the topics presented, action steps for new initiatives, and videos of keynote presentations by Victor Dover, Andres Duany, and John Norquist.

Builder of rainforest canopy walkways believes conservation can be profitable
The Ecological Finance Review
September 20, 2005
Building to Canadian Code: Suspended bridges have nice railings and Mancatcher net for safety.
Editor's note: This month's issue of The Ecological Finance Review details Greenheart Conservation Company, a for-profit company that designs, builds and operates conservation based canopy walkways (canopy trails) and other nature-based attractions around the world. Operating on the premise that conservation can be economically viable, Greenheart believes that is has already become a "model of how to shift gears from an industrial to a green economy."
Greenheart has developed or is developing canopy walkways in Peru, Nigeria, Madagascar, Ghana, Brazil, Guyana, the United Kingdon, and Canada.
In the Forest, a New Species ... of Business!
The Ecological Finance Review
Sept. 20, 2005
by Chris van Daalen
When Mark Winstein, founder of Ecostructure Financial, asked me to write another article for Ecological Finance Review, he invited me to go exploring. I was intrigued. So I donned my raingear and grabbed my compass and headed into a forest of ideas. Nothing could have prepared me for the wonder and thrill of discovering a totally new species.
What makes Greenheart so unique?
As John Kelson puts it, "Greenheart is equally for-profit, and for-conservation... an economically viable approach to biodiversity conservation."
To begin a walkway project, they search the world for ecological hotspots: unique forest ecosystems with high conservation value, also under threat from poaching or harmful development. When they find a suitable location -- whether an under-funded national park or a private forest ripe for logging -- they get permission from the owners to operate a for-profit business in a small area of the forest.
"Ideally, a walkway has a controlled impact on a small area but generates the financial capacity to protect a larger area of ecological value, especially one that would otherwise be destroyed through resource development," John explains.
Revenues from the walkways are shared with the owners, under an agreement to use the money for park management, restoration and conservation. Some of the potential benefits include improved management, ecological research, park expansion, and public education on the value of forest ecosystems.
The business model also uses tourism revenue to benefit local communities, through local employment and economic development. When they're ready, they hire and train local workers to construct, maintain and repair the walkways.
"If local people benefit, make their living from it, they will support the project and take care of the forest" John says.
|Bridge to a Brazil Nut Tree: Ian Green attaching boards to the ladders using old design technology, once again, not to code, but functional.
One of their successful projects is in Ghana, west Africa. John describes: "The walkway we built in Kakum National Park, which once had fewer than 900 visitors per year, now draws 80,000 people annually, and grosses about US$1million a year. The Kakum walkway pays for an anti-poaching team, funds economic development in surrounding communities, and directly employs about 50 people in the park."
Greenheart has a rigorous set of criteria when choosing and developing their projects. They will only build a walkway if the project has a significant conservation outcome. For example, a recent project in Iwokrama, Guyana (in South America) is connected to an international forestry center committed to creating conservation-based solutions for the protected forest that surrounds it, and for the rest of the planet.
"We're not doing projects for fancy hotels, catering to the rich and famous," John remarked. "Ecotourism has been applied to so many things, from trophy hunting to mountain biking, that it doesn't mean much anymore. We're trying to making it mean something again, to set an appropriate example of development in parks."

Gateway, AOL take wraps off Web applianceNovember 10, 2000
The chipmaker on Monday is launching its Mobile and Internet Linux Project Web site, which consolidates a number of new and existing Intel projects to improve the Linux kernel and other open-source components. In addition, the company employs "quite a bit more than a dozen" programmers for coding work, said Dirk Hohndel, Intel's chief Linux and open-source technologist.
Among the projects are efforts to improve power management, user interfaces, use of wireless networks, Web browsing, chatting, and one of the thorniest subjects, software development for mobile devices. Intel hopes for programming help from outside its own company, and two Linux companies that have signed up are Ubuntu backer Canonical and Red Flag Linux in China.
"We see this as the technology incubator for a lot of things that are going to be productized in three years," Hohndel said. He wouldn't comment on the project's magnitude, but he said, "My internal funding shows that top management is taking this seriously."
It's probably good that Intel is giving itself a few years. Numerous companies have tried to build Linux-based Net gadgets for years, but few have amounted to much. Among the efforts are the Nokia 770 and newer N800, an AOL-Gateway Web appliance, and the Palm Foleo, which so far has had a frosty reception.
Intel is serious about trying to spur the industry so it can sell more chips, though, and devices such as the BlackBerry, Treo and iPhone have certainly proved that there's a market for surfing the Web on a portable device. Intel's current effort to sell hardware for the market includes its Mobile Internet Device project.
One major focus of the Mobile and Internet Linux Project will be improving programming tools. Developers often write and debug software on a regular PC before transferring it to a device or prototype for further testing.
"One of the hardest problems is to get software stacks onto these devices," Hohndel said. "We think this is a major step forward to make it easier to develop."
Intel will be hosting source code and tools such as mailing lists, but it won't actually produce a Linux "distribution"--a unified collection of software.

- Well,
- The title of your comment isn't good for the blood pressure of penguinista-activists. But yeah, after reading the actual comment, I agree.
I think that the trick there is to start up an open source hardware initiative. You know, make a completely open stream coprocessor with an open source driver for linux, and a software opengl implementation and kernel module to run on it.
I think that something like that would be awesome. Best hardware on the market, anybody can manufacture it, and hey, microsoft- you want support? Adapt the code yourself. Oh, you want to make something proprietary? Start coding... I think that'd be hilarious.

- I like the fact that Intel...
- Is doing something to spur on Linux development. I understand they have a lot to gain from the results. I also like the idea that the are not going to develope their own distro. I hope that many smart Linux people will help and I also hope that many other big companys will take the same humble approach as Intel and Dell. After all you all have a lot to gain from this movement. Even the hackers should use their intellect to do something right for the Linux community. I am a Microsoft user closely watching the Linux world and hopeing for a better operating system that people all over the world can enjoy.

The 2010 California Transparency in Supply Chains Act requires us to disclose our efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from our direct supply chain. Mizuno USA supports the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657) through the standards set forth in our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities, and specifically through our supplier OEM Agreements, our Mizuno "Code of Conduct" guidelines, and our internal Mizuno "Ethical Standards." Furthermore, starting in 2011 Mizuno began working to further review and enhance its existing CSR practices and policies according to guidelines set forth in the ISO 26000 international standard for social responsibility. Full details of Mizuno's CSR activities can be found online at the following link: http://www.mizuno.com/csr/index.html
1. Verification of Product Supply Chains.
In furtherance of ensuring a safe, fair and ethical working environment, Mizuno has established its own "Code of Conduct for Suppliers." All of Mizuno's direct manufacturing partners first sign Mizuno's CSR Pledge Statement and then also sign an OEM Agreement which includes acceptance to comply with this "Code of Conduct." In particular, Mizuno's OEM Agreement includes a requirement that direct suppliers agree to only employ persons who presence is voluntary. In addition, Mizuno's OEM agreement requires all direct suppliers to fully comply with all applicable federal, national and local laws, rules and regulations and in cases where no local laws exist, Mizuno expects that international standards will be followed.
2. Audits of Suppliers.
Prior to the commencement of production, Mizuno visits the factory and assesses the general condition of production including safety, health and working conditions within the factory. Once production for Mizuno has commenced, Mizuno conducts regular audits of its suppliers in order to ensure compliance with the terms of Mizuno's OEM Agreement and Mizuno's "Code of Conduct for Suppliers." These audits may be performed by trained Mizuno staff and/or by reputable third parties as requested by Mizuno.
3. Certification of Materials by Direct Suppliers.
Mizuno is working to evaluate and understand impacts in our extended supply chain, and to develop standards for upstream suppliers of our direct contracted manufacturers.
4. Internal Accountability Standards and Procedures.
In order to address compliance with laws and corporate ethics, Mizuno has adopted its own internal "Ethical Standards" and "Code of Conduct," so that all its employees can carry out their work based on common values and standards of behavior. Full details of these "Ethical Standards" and "Code of Conduct" are available on Mizuno's CSR website.
5. Mizuno Employee and Management Training.
We believe that in order to fulfill their social corporate responsibility, companies need to ensure that every employee complies with laws and regulations and corporate ethics in all business activities.
To maintain these principles, Mizuno makes continuous efforts to provide our employees with education and training to enhance their awareness of and compliance with our "Ethical Standards" and "Code of Conduct" guidelines, and we plan to increase our efforts in this area in 2012 with employees and management who have direct responsibility for supply chain management activities for the Mizuno brand.

Forty-three army officers from six countries were yesterday passed out at the Senior Command and Staff College Kimaka, in Jinja.
The officers came from Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda and South Sudan. Defence Minister Crispus Kiyonga, who presided at the graduation, commended the college for its work in keeping the forces up-to-date. Dr Kiyonga also welcomed the joint training with other regional defence forces.
"The cooperation shown in the joint training is aimed at bringing sanity and stability to the region. It's also the spirit of Pan-Africanism to work together and train together," he said.
He explained that the joint training sessions were a step towards regional integration of the East African Community, which would lead to a regional force. Of the 43 graduates, 31 were from Uganda while the 12 represented the other countries within the region.
The Deputy Chief of Defence Forces, Lt Gen Ivan Koreta, urged the graduates to practise what they learnt. The officers have been in training since February and this was the eighth cohort of graduates since inception of the college in October 2004. Some 268 officers have been passed out since 2004. The institution aims to develop officers able to lead units and formations at both tactical and operational levels of war.
Kyambogo and Makerere University, Uganda Management Institute, and Uganda Industrial and Research Institute provide external training to the officers.

Laurie Dhue Life Story
Laurie was born on February 10, 1969 somewhere in Atlanta, Georgia (that's in the United States, by the by). Skipping past the childhood, she graduated from Westminster Schools in Atlanta and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The latter, she lettered in swimming and received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science with a concentration in Dramatic Arts. Th etwo seem to go hand-in-hand, if you really think about it. While at UNC-Chapel Hill, she also sang as part of the all women's a cappella group "The Loreleis" as a second alto, adding her voice when she soloed on a cover of Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy" and again with the other second altos to a cover of the Spinners' "Mighty Love." Okay, then...
Previously, Laurie was an anchor and a reporter on the Fox News Channel, where she hosted "Fox News Live", "Fox Magazine" and "The Fox Report Weekend". Ironic...a fox on FOX. As mentioned, she is the daughter of former vice president of wrestling operations for World Championship Wrestling, Bob Dhue. So, we'll be stepping off now.

Robert's lies, evasions, forced climbs, mandatory castle visits and ugly (but accurate) accusations of negativity notwithstanding, he was not a bad guy. One night, while I imagined Pavel was dreaming of steak and the German speakers were conducting nefarious transactions with the local bank, and Marcia was crying herself to sleep, and Richard was investigating nightlife, I met Robert in the hotel sauna. I had come to the conclusion that my complaints were getting me nowhere. So I told him it must be difficult to be in charge of so many reporters.
Yes, he admitted, it can be challenging.
"Marcia really whines a lot," I suggested. (I'm not proud of my behavior, but I can't pretend it didn't happen.)
Yes, he admitted, she can be challenging.
"What about we skip the museum tour scheduled tomorrow and kick back somewhere and have ice cream?" I proffered. "I think it might be good for group morale."
He promised he'd think about it.
Then we talked about travel and adventure and life and love. Might I have said something about being lonely? Might I have said something about New York City being a dark, cruel, remorseless, soul-crushing, spirit-gobbling cesspool where the only things prized are wealth and beauty, and how in such a shallow, merciless metropolis, is it any wonder that a sensitive man with an exquisitely calibrated emotional gauge might end up with an ex-girlfriend who doesn't understand him, who hates his Hawaiian shirts? I might have. (When I miss a couple of nap days in a row, I become emotionally labile. My psychologist says it's not my fault.)
"Steve," Robert said. "You need to find Heidi."
Dawn breaks gray and cool, and by the time we have mounted our bicycles for a 20-mile ride to Nyon, our final stop, the day has become black and cold, and wet. I crest a hill and face full on, once again, the ravenous maw of the Swiss typhoon, teeth chattering, near death, planning my funeral, wondering about my ex, cursing the Swiss. I try to picture the British explorers being stalked by the mutant polar bear in the Arctic wastes, so that I might feel better about my final hours. When that doesn't work, I accost a chubby resident of the town and ask her how far it is from this town to Nyon. I do this by screaming, "Nyon! Nyon!" and hugging myself and crying and holding my hands apart and raising my eyebrows. I think she tells me it is a long way, and I think maybe I cry some more and then she says a word I understand, "Gare," which means train station.
I am the last one to arrive, the most chilled and soaked and miserable. After I change into sweatpants and a spare Hawaiian shirt I wisely carry in my backpack, I beg Robert to please let me skip lunch and the staggeringly ill-conceived walking tour of Nyon that will follow, and just get on the goddamn train and back to the heated hotel in Lausanne, where I might gorge on chocolate and read about the mutant polar bear some more. The way I phrase it is, "Robert, I think the group might be happier—and more likely to write good stories—if they could get dry and get some rest."
But no. That will not happen. There is a schedule, and this is Switzerland. We will eat lunch, and we will have a walking tour.
I sullenly tuck into some pasta with pork (Pavel does the same, and smiles for the first and only time on the trip), while outside the rainstorm rages. With the food warming my belly, and the Hawaiian shirt warming my body, and the thought that I'm through with Switzerland's perfect signage and flat roads warming my soul, I cheer up a little. I cheer up so much that when Robert informs the group that we will now each volunteer our opinions of the trip, I don't groan.

NFL Preseason Betting: Denver Broncos at San Francisco 49ers
- Updated: August 16, 2014
Matchup: Denver Broncos at San Francisco 49ers
Date/Time: August 17, 4:00 p.m. ET
TV: NFL Network
NFL Betting Odds From BetDSI Sportsbook
Spread: San Francisco -3
Total: 40
The Denver Broncos took very little solace in their preseason opening win over the Seattle Seahawks, just six months after they were hammered in Super Bowl XLVIII. The San Francisco 49ers performed about how you would expect a team making a Preseason Week 1 cross-country trip to Baltimore in a 23-3 loss. Saturday's home opener for the 49ers will mark the debut of Levi's Stadium, the new $1.3B home of the team in Santa Clara, CA. That's sure to add a little bit of excitement and adrenaline to the San Francisco side.
The Broncos found out firsthand what the early games could look like in the NFL this season. A total of 25 penalties were called in their opener against the Seahawks, including some that extended a 14-play, 61 yard touchdown drive for the Broncos that included six penalties. The league has put an emphasis on calling defensive holding and illegal contact penalties and a team like the Broncos could certainly benefit from that throughout the season.
Peyton Manning was 10-of-13 for 78 yards in the two series that he played. Brock Osweiler finished the game 6-of-12 for 85 yards in relief. The Seahawks had 22 first downs against the Broncos defense, but six came via penalties. The Broncos are nursing some injuries entering Saturday's game. Montee Ball is out while recovering from an appendectomy and defensive ends Chase Vaughn and Greg Latta have been held out of practice. The biggest injury news is that linebacker Danny Trevathan fractured his knee and will miss at least four weeks and probably somewhere between six and eight as he recovers.
Look for Manning to play four or five series on Saturday as the veteran signal caller really doesn't need a whole lot of preparation to ready for Week 1. Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware have looked good in practice and the defensive starters will probably play a quarter and a half to two quarters. Zac Dysert and/or Bryn Renner could see some playing time, though Osweiler's performance in the preseason opener suggests that he could use some more reps.
As for the 49ers, Colin Kaepernick threw one pass in his lone series in the opener against the Ravens. Carlos Hyde looked impressive as a downhill runner. Even though the 49ers managed just three points, as Blaine Gabbert looked awful in relief of Kaepernick, the bigger problem was the defense. Jim Harbaugh was upset with the defense's intensity level, saying that his team "got pushed around" by the Ravens. Michael Crabtree, Brandon Lloyd, and Patrick Willis did not play and the 49ers are still trying to find somebody to replace linebacker NaVorro Bowman, who was injured in last season's playoffs.
Given how the backup quarterbacks looked, the 49ers might be a tough bet during the preseason, at least in Weeks 2 and 4. Between Blaine Gabbert, Josh Johnson, and McLeod Bethel-Thompson, the numbers were ugly: 12-of-26, 99 yards, and two interceptions. Johnson certainly looked better than Gabbert by completing six of his eight passes and picking up 15 yards on a couple of nice scrambles, so he should be the front-runner to back up Kaepernick.
Look for Kaepernick and the starters to play well into the second quarter as the 49ers open their new stadium and try to put on a good show for the home crowd. He should stand upright and throw it around to Crabtree and Lloyd and Bruce Ellington might even get some reps with the first teamers. The defense got called out last week and should be motivated to play a bit better on Saturday.
John Fox is 26-23 in the preseason and improved to 9-4 in Week 1 last week. However, his teams are just 4-8 in Week 2. Jim Harbaugh fell to 8-5 overall, but he does emphasize the preseason with back-to-back 3-1 records. His teams are 2-1 in Week 2.
Free NFL Pick: San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers were in a terrible spot last week by having to take a five-hour flight to Baltimore for Week 1 of the preseason. Expect a much more engaged group on Saturday with the opening of beautiful Levi's Stadium and a lot less travel. The 49ers were called out for their defensive toughness and that's been an organizational philosophy for a long time, but especially under Harbaugh. Josh Johnson was solid last week, while Brock Osweiler struggled and it will be those two that decide each team's fate on offense.

Why the Cleveland Browns Need to Stay The Course Regardless of Investigation
With the 2015 NFL Draft quickly approaching, the distractions and noise surrounding...
By Evan Meyer
MAC Analyst
The Akron Zips extended the longest current winning streak in the nation to 18 games Friday night as they defeated the North Dakota State Bison 68-53 before an electric crowd of 4,474 at Rhodes Arena.
Akron (22-4) also tied Kansas for the longest winning streak at any time during the season at 18 games, and their winning skein is he longest at the school since the team won 21 games back in 1958-59.
"I thought the key to the game was to impose our tempo on them," UA head coach Keith Dambrot said after the game. "For stretches we played good. Maybe our best of the season."
Senior center Zeke Marshall led four UA players in double figures with 14 points along with eight rebounds and five blocked shots. Junior forward Nick Harney added 13, sophomore forward Demetrius Treadwell had 11 points, 14 boards and two steals; while junior guard Alex Abreu had 10 with three assists.
"I thought he really dominated the game," Dambrot said of Marshall. "He was strong offensively and really did a good job."
When asked about Marshall's play NDSU head coach Saul Phillips said afterwards, "Our big man (junior Marshall Bjorklund) has played against Cody Zeller (Indiana) has played against Trevor Mbakwe (Minnesota)…There has not been a big man who could shut him down without doubling on him (defensively) and Zeke did that tonight and that really hurt us."
Bjorklund came into the game averaging 11.8 points and 6.2 rebounds. In this game he scored just two points and had three rebounds; his lowest numbers of the season
North Dakota State (20-8) suffered their third loss in the last five games along with just being 1-4 in their last five on the road.
"We turned the ball over too many times early along with points in transition," Phillips said "We dug ourselves too big of a hole. We made run and made some stops but against a really good team that has won 18 straight you can't do that."
Sophomore guard Lawrence Alexander was the lone NDSU player in double figures, leading all scorers in the contest with 19 points and seven rebounds.
"I thought he kept us in the game at times. He is a special player for us," Phillips said. "He's only going to get better and better. I would not trade him."
Alexander, who has picked up the scoring for the Bison after junior Taylor Braun has missed the last nine games with a knee injury, gave his team their only lead of the game with the first basket. From that point on, it was all Zips as they scored the next 10 points; seven of which came from Harney who scored 10 in the first half.
After the visitors closed to within a point when reserve guard Mike Felt connected on a three-pointer from the right arc, UA went on an 11-2 spurt to open a 10-point lead 21-11 at the 9:56 mark when freshman Jake Kretzer found a loose ball and scored on a layup.
With UA leading 26-21at the 4:28 mark, Marshall made a steal and drove down the court and finished the play with a slam dunk. He was assessed a technical foul for hanging on the rim, much to the dismay of the crowd.
"That was a tough play, he is running down the middle of the court. What was he supposed to do smash his face against the backboard? He was a seven foot runaway freight train," Dambrot said.
When asked about the big man leading the break, Treadwell said, "He handled the ball pretty good for a seven footer, he finshed (the fast break) well and ignited the crowd."
The play however, ignited the Zips. After Felt made the two technical free throws to close the deficit to 28-23, UA scored the last nine points of the period and went into halftime with a 37-23 lead.
The Zips shot 45.2 percent in the first half and held a decisive 24-17 rebounding edge, and turned the ball over just four times. NDSU made just 6-of-28 shots from the floor (28.6 percent) and turned the ball over eight times resulting in 12 UA points.
At the start of the second half, the Zips got baskets from Abreu and Harney to open a 19-point lead 42-23 as they completed a 16-3 run that spanned both halves.
UA then opened their largest lead of the game at 20 points, 45-25, with 17:06 remaining as Abreu connected on a three from the left arc. NDSU went 10:50 of playing time without a field goal until Felt ended the drought with a pull-up jumper.
The Zips again pushed the lead out to 20 points when Treadwell scored on a layup off the backboard 47-27. Then the Bison made a game out of it as they went on a 14-0 run to close the deficit down to six 47-41 with the last two coming from reserve Chris Kading on a putback slam dunk with 7:37 remaining.
"We expected them to make a run at us," Treadwell said. "Even though we did not want them to make run they made a run on us and kudos to them."
However, that would be the closest the visitors from the Summit League would get for the remainder of the game as UA weathered the storm and put together an 11-2 run to push the lead back out to 15 which eventually would be the final winning margin.
Neither team shot the ball well in the final 20 minutes as UA went 10-of-21 from the field (47.6 percent) finishing the game at 46.2percent (24-of-52). Two glaring numbers from the stat sheet though as they turned the ball over 11 times in the second half (15 for the game) and shot just 50 percent from the free throw line (14-of-28).
"Akron is good…very good," Phillips said.
UA also won the rebound battle 43-36 as they remained perfect at home (14-0) and have won 33 of their last 35 at The JAR.
"We're like a bull in a china shop sometimes, but we are good enough to win," Dambrot said.
The Zips return to Mid-American Conference play on Wednesday night when they travel to Athens for their second meeting this season with the Ohio Bobcats. A game that will most likely decide the Eastern Division title, the overall MAC regular-season championship and the number one seed in the upcoming 2013 FirstEnergy MAC Men's Basketball Tournament in Cleveland.
KEY MOMENT: Late in the first half, Akron's Zeke Marshal stole the ball and went down the court for a slam dunk. He was assessed a technical foul and NDSU made both free throws. From that point on, the Zips went on a 16-3 run that spanned both halves.
PLAYER OF THE GAME: DEMETRIUS TREADWELL-AKRON. The sophomore from Euclid, Ohio had 11 points in the game but pulled down 14 rebounds second most he has had this season. He had 16 caroms in the win at Kent State on January 19th.. His sixth double-double of the season.
KEY STAT OF THE GAME: 1) Akron went just 50 percent 14-of-28 from the free throw line. 2) UA's 43 rebounds second straight game with 40 or more boards.

For a child who's been hospitalized with cancer, coming home to one's own room, own belongings, and siblings to play with — and perhaps even argue with — feels good. And for parents, there's nothing like having their child home again.
But for many families, readjusting to home life after a child's lengthy hospital stay can take some time. Parents often feel nervous about easing their child back into life at home, and kids feel anxious, too. Many wonder: "Will others treat me differently now?," "What will happen when I go back to school?," and "Will I be able to handle these changes?"
It's normal for everyone in the family to feel apprehensive about this readjustment. But with a little time and patience, most kids with cancer get back into the swing of things just fine.
First and foremost, establishing a routine is probably the most important thing you can do to help your child readjust. Kids are comforted by routines — by knowing what the day holds and what is expected of them. And a child who's been sick with cancer is no exception.
As much as possible, include your child in the activities and chores of everyday life, tailoring them to his or her abilities. Some extra TLC will be in order depending on the medical requirements, but try not to treat your child differently (or offer a different set of rules) than siblings who are not sick.
Depending on your child's age, you may also want to encourage active participation in his or her own care. Perhaps your child can change a bandage or begin to learn when to take medications. Having these sorts of responsibilities can give older kids a much-needed sense of control.
In the beginning, your child's behavior may change. Some kids regress and act more immaturely than they used to. Others have trouble sleeping or experience separation anxiety when their parents leave the room. And they may be defiant or more demanding of parental time and attention. This goes for kids with cancer and their siblings, who are also trying to adjust to this new set of circumstances.
These new behaviors are really just ways to cope, so be reassuring yet firm in enforcing rules. Your child might acknowledge the emotions beneath these behaviors by keeping a journal or blog, drawing or painting pictures, or making a scrapbook. All of these are great ways to express difficult feelings.
Early on, other kids and adults might have questions about your child's illness. Some friends will try to understand and be helpful. But not all kids are always as accepting, especially at first. They may ask questions that can seem insensitive, like "Can I catch your disease?" or "What happened to your hair?" Practice different ways of answering questions to help your child feel prepared.
And explain that talking — or not talking — about cancer is a personal choice. Some kids may want to tell everything they're going through. Others might not want to talk about it at all. Teach your child that it's OK to say, "I don't feel like talking about that right now" or to change the subject when it feels uncomfortable.
Cancer can sometimes change how people look, and that can be hard. If your child has lost or gained weight, try to find some clothes that fit better and make your child feel good.
Get some hats, scarves, or a wig if your child's self-conscious about hair loss. Some kids choose to not wear anything on their head, and that's fine, too. Follow your child's lead when it comes to appearance issues and what will make him or her feel most confident.
Going back to school is a huge step in your child's physical and emotional recovery. Going to school not only gives your child a purpose and the chance to have some fun, but also sends a strong message that things are returning to normal.
Once you know the anticipated return date, set up a meeting with school personnel, including teachers, the school nurse, school counselor, and principal. Tell them about your child's cancer and how it's being treated. The school nurse will need the most specific information, like what medicines your child needs during the day or if he or she will need a private place to rest.
Additional issues to discuss with school officials include:
If your child is nervous about going back to school or isn't yet up to a full-time schedule, consider an initial schedule of a couple of days a week or just for half days. For added moral support, see if a friend can walk into class with your child on that first day back. And make sure your child knows to let someone know immediately if he or she isn't feeling well or is having any problems.
If your child is worried about the questions people might ask about the cancer, before it's time to return to school ask if a school nurse or a nurse from the care team can talk to the class about your child's condition.
Of course, no matter how much you prepare, the readjustment to home and school life can still be tough. So keep an eye on how your child copes.
A child who starts to find excuses for not going to school may be struggling. In that case, school officials can be your strongest allies in the back-to-school transition, so stay in touch with teachers, the school counselor, and the nurse to see how things are going.
Check in with siblings' schools, too, to see how they're handling the changes. If anyone in your family (including you) has trouble adjusting, consider talking to a counselor or joining a support group to work out difficult feelings.
Adapting to any new situation takes time and bumps in the road are to be expected. But things will get easier — and a more normal routine is likely just around the bend.

Rain is expected Friday but what about the weekend? (Video)
Rain and the possibility of storms lurks tomorrow morning but what about the all important weekend forecast?
Severe thunderstorms are once again pounding parts of the Deep South today across Alabama and Georgia. The threat for severe weather extends all the way into the Carolinas this evening and tonight as this strong frontal system moves east. What's even more interesting is by tomorrow morning, the D.C. area could even be in on the chance for a few thunderstorms. There's even the chance for a few severe thunderstorms for parts of the Delmarva. You call this January huh? Here's a look at the next 72 hours in my latest afternoon analysis.
Interesting weather day Friday: Friday will be a day like no other in the D.C. area this year, as temperatures should start out in the upper 50s to near 60 degrees in the morning hours ahead of a strong cold front. The morning commute will more than likely be a bit on the messy side as heavy showers and possibly even a few thunderstorms will span the region. For that reason be sure to add in some additional time getting to work. I think the rain will be done by lunch time tomorrow as it moves east. This should allow for some clearing along with mild temperatures in the 50s. Once the winds change around to the northwest in the early afternoon hours, cooler air will filter in with temperatures in the late afternoon back into the 40s. Winds will also be quite gusty out of the northwest around 15 to 25 m.p.h.
Weekend Forecast: Mild temperatures appear like they will hang around this weekend, contrary to my earlier belief to not trust the models. Highs should range in the low to mid 50s on Saturday under partly cloudy skies. A weak system will enter the region late Sunday bringing the chance for a few sprinkles or possibly even flurries but not much else. Highs Sunday should reach the upper 40s.
Severe Weather Potential: I think the severe threat will be mainly south and east of D.C. tomorrow morning. The amount of shear in the atmosphere is plentiful but there isn't a lot of cooler air aloft limiting the amount of lift. I would give the best chance for severe wind gusts or a possible tornado anywhere from the Northern Neck south and east with much better chances for the Hampton Roads/Tidewater and Eastern North Carolina.
Just think, one year ago was commutageddon! Which would you rather be dealing with?

The new fragrance from Mandy Aftel…
Wild Roses opens with a hugely complicated blast of… well, rose – a clean tea rose, a spiced jammy rose, a hit of cracked pepper – a touch of syrupy anise, a cold eucalyptus and a heavy, bitter-sweet, fruity apricot that verges on peach. It is so overwhelming and rich it almost smells boozy up top – but not with the dense, alcoholic and almost sticky quality that boozy accords tend to have.
The anise vanishes pretty quickly (but leaves a subtle fennel accord behind), the cool mentholated aspects begin to settle, but the fuzzy apricot dominates, paired with a rose unlike anything else I've tried – such a huge blend of textures, spices and colours that rounds out into one purely translucent floral. A herb basket rises up underneath the roses adding a bitter, culinary edge of coriander (along with the fennel) – with an extremely restrained powdery/almond quality that I assume is heliotrope? The mentholated aspect which I thought was eucalyptus evolves into a herbal geranium – a note I've begun to love. It adds a cool, medicinal layer underneath the warmth of the roses, but still keeping the rose flavour pungent – adding a greener quality to them.
The geranium, rose basket and herbal notes get dizzying, hints of warm, subtle clove and the heat of pepper (a note I only recognize from Piment Brulant, and in Aftelier's own Shiso) add even more little nuances that dart in and out of focus. At times I mistake the spice for carnation, and at others, a richly indolic jasmine similar to Secret Garden – a slightly resinous floral of orange blossom also makes an appearance, but all pushed out of view by the abstract rose. The turkish rose takes over the greener geranium notes in the heart, adding a more powdery, candied aspect to the florals without it ever being sweet – but still, hints of ripe fruit plump up the petals. What at first was apricot, now seems to have morphed into a plum – adding a fleshy, golden, dried fruit quality.
A patchouli arrives and gets louder after half an hour or so on the skin, and I'm convinced the jasmine is still there. The patchouli has the slightly smoky, rich and earthy quality that I have grown to love from the late drydown of Secret Garden – it's a head spinning note and it almost seems to have an animal quality to it. A drop of civet in the base seems to be enriching both the patchouli and the roses – or the indole used in Sepia that seems to bring to life florals with an animalic, narcotic richness is at play.
The drydown manages to keep the rose and indole intact, along with the stewed fruit quality of apricot remains and wine-y plums, the earthiness of the patchouli creating a solid base, it all gives the fragrance a "mulled" feeling – boozy again. The animal quality is tame, but it's there – it makes Wild Roses melt in a warm, human layer – enhanced by a growing, soft woody sweetness of vanillic benzoin. At times it seems to vanish during it's heart, but when I pull my nose back again, it is out in full force – it is such a shapeshifter of a fragrance, but with a solid personality that remains true from start to finish, it just decides to play around with you whilst you try to figure it out.
Wild Roses is beautiful. A rose perfume that without a doubt stands above the hundreds of generic rose fragrances out there that seem to do little to the actual rose notes themself, and instead just build support around the singular essence. Here, the perfumer takes a rose and gives it a hundred faces – it becomes a rose that is spicy, fruity, sheer, boozy, herbal and green all at once. The fragrance is about the roses themselves and everything they can be, and are, and I love that. It can hardly be considered a rose soliflore, a portrait of a rose, or a landscape – it is a holograph if anything. A spiced, fruity floral that replaces expected candied sweetness with bitter herbs and raw earth – it sums up what Mandy's perfume's are all about. Wonderful :)

I agree. This looks terrible.
On a somewhat similar note, I hate how lots of cars in America don't have amber turn signals because the NHTSA doesn't require them.
How is it a distration, when in fact, it's the opposite - it catches the attention of the driver going behind, they look at it, they can't miss it, and they keep the distance...
The Swarm, imho, is mind-blowing!

Okay, then I still don't understand what he was getting at. Having designs in your brake lights would probably cause more rear-end accidents since it would be a distraction.
Posted 25 January 2013 - 16:54
No they can be amber or red, so most manufacturers just use the brake light as turn indicators.
They can be Amber or White, right? But yeah, I don't like it when people have white since it doesn't catch your eye as much.
When I was in high school, I put blue turn signals in my car. Yeah, that lasted about 2 days before I got reamed out by the 5-0.

The Department of the Navy maintains a vigorous science and technology (S&T) research program in those areas that are critically important to ensuring U.S. naval superiority in the maritime environment. A number of these areas depend largely on sustained Navy Department investments for their health, strength, and growth. One such area is naval hydromechanics, that is, the study of the hydrodynamic and hydroacoustic performance of Navy ships, submarines, underwater vehicles, and weapons. A fundamental understanding of naval hydromechanics provides direct benefits to naval warfighting capabilities through improvements in the speed, maneuverability, and stealth of naval platforms and weapons. This level of understanding requires the ability to predict complex phenomena, including surface and internal wave wakes, turbulent flows around ships and control surfaces, the performance of propulsors, sea-surface interactions, and associated hydroacoustics. This ability, in turn, stems from the knowledge gained from traditional experiments in towing tanks, from at-sea evaluations, and, increasingly, from computational fluid dynamics.
Historically, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has promoted the world leadership of the United States in naval hydromechanics by sponsoring a research program focused on long-term S&T problems of interest to the Department of the Navy, by maintaining a pipeline of new scientists and engineers, and by developing products that ensure naval superiority. At the request of ONR, the National Research Council, under the auspices of the Naval Studies Board, conducted an assessment of S&T research in the area of naval hydromechanics. The Committee for Naval Hydromechanics Science and Technology was appointed to carry out the following tasks during this study: assess the Navy's research effort in the area of hydromechanics, identify non-Navy-sponsored research and development efforts that might facilitate progress in the area, and provide recommendations on how the scope of the Navy's research program should be focused to meet future objectives. Attention was given to research efforts in the commercial sector as well as international research efforts, and to the potential of cooperative efforts.

Art: Illustrator Will Edmonds' beautiful pottery collection SOMEWOW
Of the three branches that make us the tree of Nous Vous, it is William Edmonds who I keep a special look out for. I love how he keeps his head down and just gets on with making things, and then one day releases it like a swarm of butterflies to the joys of arty bloggers everywhere. His latest squeeze has been the potter's wheel, and he has been spending his days down at Hackney City Farm working on this new stoneware collection of pots. Rather than twee vessels designed for housing Lady Grey tea, Will prefers to use his for lager shandy, as illustrated in the title of the project and in the sunny Instagram photos he updates his loyal followers with. There's some for sale too so get in there now for lovingly-made gifts for your most treasured pals.

The Christmas Markets of Esslingen,Germany
Vasudha Narasimhan takes you to the lovely city of Esslingen in southern Germany which has a unique medieval Christmas market. Set against the backdrop of half-timbered houses, the medieval markets are filled with the sound of music, local crafts and food, as well as cultural events. Quite magical an experience as you will discover through Vasudha's story.
Christmas in Germany is dramatic, magical and intense as with the festive season starting right from the first week of December. The traditional Christmas markets with the backdrop of the historic locations make for a perfect Christmas getaway experience. Traditional Weihnachten (Christmas in German) artefacts like hand carved nativity scenes, figurines, glass balls, candles are difficult to resist.
Food lovers can savour traditional smoked fish, hot wein also known as gluehwein, roasted nuts, hot chestnuts and grilled sausages. While some markets are especially known for their lebkuchen or gingerbread, other markets are known for their medieval ambience.
Christmas markets in Germany start from the last week of November and close two days before Christmas. A Christmas market comprises of a group of small wooden shops mostly selling Christmas related items. All shops are decorated with evergreens and illuminated beautifully.
What one gets to see, buy and experience in a German Christmas market is unique and one of its kind. Some Christmas markets showcase a miniature land of a town, while others have play areas for kids. Some Christmas markets also have a rink for ice-skating.
Most of the Christmas markets are organised in the city or the town centre with a historic monument at the background and this forms a special backdrop for the ambience. Street artists and musicians promote the ambience with traditional songs and carols.
From fairy tale experiences to medieval ambience, you can find everything that makes for a dreamy Christmas experience.
