VIDEO/PHOTOS: Dolphins get down to business at Naples Gators practice
NAPLES - A few hours after rededicating themselves to Southwest Florida, the Miami Dolphins put that dedication into action at Fleishmann Park.
Earlier on Tuesday, newly hired Dolphins CEO Mike Dee joined former players Nat Moore and Twan Russell at Estero Recreation Center to tell area residents and community leaders about the team's desire to reach out to its fanbase in Southwest Florida, an area the 2008 AFC East champions have neglected in recent years.
They talked about an upcoming youth football clinic and cheerleading camp in Lee County on July 29. Hours later, Dee, Moore and Russell were standing in the swamp-like humidity and heat at Fleishmann Park, surrounded by more than 50 young football players who might just attend that camp.
Naples Gators' youth football practice at Fleishmann Park was the final stop of a long day in Southwest Florida for Dee, Moore and Russell, and it was perhaps the most hands-on of those stops — at least with young football players, who the Dolphins hope to reach out to through the youth clinics.
Before practice, all three Dolphins dignitaries — Moore and Russell remain employed by the organization today — spoke to the kids, telling them many of the same things they told Lee County officials that afternoon.
"Man, we're excited about being here," Russell told the mass of sweaty faces in blue and orange jerseys assembled before him. "Last time we were here was 2006. ... We'll never go that long again. We plan on being here every year now."
Moore later added that the plan is for the Dolphins to return to Collier, Lee and Charlotte counties at least twice a year — probably more like once every quarter.
"Our goal is not just football camps," Moore said. "Some of that might be school visits or community activities."
Because they've grown up playing youth football in a hotbed of NFL talent, some of the Naples Gators might be growing a little too accustomed to seeing NFL stars often — recently Immokalee native and former Arizona Cardinal Edgerrin James stopped by a church football camp in Naples, and Naples native and former New England Patriot Fred McCrary also helps out at local camps throughout the year.
Twelve-year-old Marc Newberry, one of the attendees at Tuesday's Gators practice, said he'd spent the last week at Football University, where he'd interacted with stars like Deion Sanders — a Fort Myers native — and Jerry Rice.
Newberry found Moore and Russell's words "influential." But even after all of his brushes with football stardom, the boy with the Gators' orange and blue braces said he hears the same messages most clearly from a different source.
"My dad is always telling me the same things," Marc Newberry said of John Newberry, one of the Gators coaches.
DALLAS VS. NAPLES: The schedule is set for an August football jamboree pitting two youth teams from Dallas against two of the Naples Gators' squads.
The teams from Dallas are part of Sanders' Truth Select football club, and Sanders — who played high school football at North Fort Myers — is bringing 40 kids with him from Texas on Aug. 1 to play against the Naples Gators.
The event features two games on Aug. 1 at Fleishmann Park: the first game at 10:30 a.m. for 9-10 year-olds at 125-140 pounds, and the second at 12:30 p.m. for 11-12 year-olds also at 125-140 pounds.
The game is open to the public, and tickets cost $3 for youth and $5 for adults.
On July 31, the Naples Gators, the Hilton Naples and Shula's Steakhouse are hosting a banquet for both teams; earlier that day the Texas teams will tour the Naples Zoo.

Customer Testimonial
Hello Liz,
Our tour guide/bus driver was Tommy O'Rielly and he was extremely knowledgeable about Ireland in every category. He was very willing to answer even some of the stupidest questions with great pride for his country of Ireland.
The trip to the Cliffs of Moher and The Burren were filled with rain and fog and we had to buy a lot of postcards to fill in the gaps. Tommy was great at keep our spirits up until the end of that day.
I will definitely recommend to anyone that you put on a first class tour. We all found the accommodations fabulous and very unique with a lot of character.

After a search on the internet I think this is a very hard to find piece (I simply couldn't find one), a large Cookie Jar by Gail Pittman in the beautiful Garden View pattern. The jar measures 91/2" tall by 7" diameter at the widest point, it is beautifully hand painted with an over-glazed finish, and is in excellent estate order with just slight crazing to the finish which you can see in the photographs, otherwise it looks unused. I think the pattern must have been discontinued a while, as none of the pattern pieces seem very readily available, this jar is a beauty, and would make a wonderful display or functional addition to your service.

Born in Shanghai, Yao began performing with a radio appearance there in 1935 at the age of 13. She was signed to Pathé Records.
Following the Communist seizure of power in China in 1949, popular music was considered ideologically suspect and Yao fled to Hong Kong in 1950 to continue her singing career. She stopped singing in 1967 with the death of her brother, but took an executive position with EMI Music Hong Kong in 1969. In 1970, she started performing again and traveled to Taiwan to perform there for the first time and sought unsuccessfully to sign Teresa Teng to EMI for the Hong Kong market. She retired officially in 1975 but remained supportive of singers such as Wakin Chau.
During the 1930s and 40s, Yao Lee's high, soft singing style was typical of Chinese popular music. She performed numerous popular standards, such as Wishing You Happiness and Prosperity with her brother Yao Min. She is famous for her 1940 version of "Rose, Rose, I Love You", later recorded by Frankie Laine in the United States with English lyrics. (Her version was also released in the US and UK credited to "Miss Hue Lee"). Yao was known as "the Silver Voice" alluding to fellow Shanghai singer Zhou Xuan who was known as "the Golden Voice".
With increasing Western influence in the region after World War II and her move to Hong Kong, Yao Lee's singing changed. She was introduced to more Western popular music and became an admirer of American singer Patti Page whom she emulated by lowering her voice and incorporating some vocal mannerisms. As a result, Yao is sometimes called "Hong Kong's Patti Page."
Yao was extremely prolific with over 400 gramophone records attributed to her.

Handy Location.Posted Jun 30, 2015
Pros: Location, Modern, Tidy.
Cons: All good
Location: Darling Harbour, Westfield Shopping Centre and Tower, Great, shops cafes and Restaurants nearby.
We had a very nice time staying at Four Points. Location is walking distance to Darling Harbour, restaurants, and shopping. We were offered an discounted upgrade and excepted, and glad we did with awesome views over Darling Harbour. Although major construction was happening with the expansion of the hotel, it didn't interfere with comfort or service. If we are in Sydney again we will stay at Four Points and also look out for the Four points family when travelling else where.

worst experience at a hotelPosted Jun 29, 2015
manage to change room 3 times on the first day :( had a shower at the 1st room and the drain was blocked.got moved you a 2nd room but wrong configuration for beds so asked them to change the beds.went out for a conference, came back and all our luggage and stuff in the room was missing. rang front desk no help. so went to the front desk and discovered that instead of changing beds they decided to move us to the 3rd room. went to the 3rd room found our suitcases but missing all our clothes that were hanging in the wardrobe missing or not brought from the other 2nd room.ask to get our clothes but not in the 2nd room. eventually found our clothes in lost and found! seriously they threw out our clothes hanging up in the wardrobe without even asking. not happy. wasted an hour and a quarter of our time. by the time that got sorted the late night shopping in town had finished. worst experience ever at a hotel

Very coldPosted Jun 8, 2015
Pros: Staff are great
Cons: How cold the room was
Location: We went to Vivid, which was in easy walking distance
Our room was very cold, we advised the reception staff that the air conditioning wasn't working. They had someone come up and look into very quickly. Unfortunately it took hours to warm up. The staff did provide us with a extra blankets and a heater and really did all they could. The breakfast was probably a bit to expensive as well. We walked to Darling Harbour and had breakfast by the water in the sun for half the price.

Great LocationPosted May 25, 2015
Pros: Location, bet linen and service
Cons: Cleaning
Location: Darling Harbour (although the footbridge that used to be behind the hotel and would take one straight into Darling Harbour is closed now), City
It was not my first stay at this hotel. My husband and I were staying in the City for the SMH Half Marathon. Because of the hotel upgrade (the construction), the lobby has been moved to one of the shops. It has been done tastefully and is functional, in spite of the in-out traffic going through the check-in/out area. The check in went smoothly, we asked for a late check out and it wasn't a problem and the room was ready, too. We booked a city side room, there was construction going on below, but the noise was minimal. I love the bed linen, clean and pleasant to sleep in. It would be nice if the toilet bowls would be cleaned under the rim, as well - took me about 20 antibacterial wipes to clean it. We left our key card at the reception when we left for the run and when we returned, the lady at the reception organised a concierge to let us into the room and to check our identity. I appreciate their approach to security. Regarding the online booking process: there were two prices for the same room type with no clear difference. Would be nice if Expedia would make sure to state why one would pay more (about $20) for the same room.

Check the canned goods and ethnic-foods aisles for cans with attractive labels. Buy two cans, cut the front label from one, and attach it to the back of the other so the container looks good on all sides. Use a can opener to remove the top of the can, add a handful of marbles or small pebbles to the bottom for weight, fill the can with water, and add flowers.
A handful of iris banded together and wrapped with ribbon makes a statuesque topiary. Any flower that has upright blooms on long stems (such as daffodils, calla lilies, or hyacinths) would work for this style of arrangement.
See the step-by-step of how to make this arrangement on the next slides.
Cut florist's foam to fit inside a cereal bowl. Holding iris stems in your hand, cluster them into an appealing shape. Snip the stems into a straight line, allowing 2 or 3 extra inches on each stem to push into the foam. Wrap rubber bands around the tops and bottoms of the stems.
Push the stems into the foam until they stand upright. Cover the foam with moss. Wrap ribbon around the stems, and secure it with pins. To complete the look surround the base with moss.
Fragrant lemon slices camouflage stems of purple tulips, anemone, lisianthus, lilac, and stock tucked into an ordinary pitcher.
See the step-by-step of how to make this arrangement on the next slides.
Find a tall glass that will fit squarely inside a clear glass pitcher and still allow enough space around it for the lemon slices. Put the glass in the pitcher, slice the lemons about 1/4 inch thick, and arrange them between the pitcher and the glass, beginning at the bottom and overlapping slices as you go. Carefully pour water over the lemons and into the glass.
Arrange flowers in the glass, making sure to hide the area between the glass and the rim of the pitcher.
Set an orange or lemon on a flat surface to see which end will make a stable base. If necessary, cut off some of the bottom to make it flat. Cut a hole in the top and scoop out the insides with a grapefruit spoon. Cut a piece of wet florist's foam to fit inside; then push stems into the foam.
Dye hardboiled eggs as desired. Center a drinking glass inside a large-mouth jar and carefully stack eggs between the glass and jar, alternating egg colors. Fill the glass with water. Cut rose, ranunculus, and gerbera stems to desired lengths and place them in the glass. Fill in with anemones as needed.
Arrange flowers in a sturdy, wide-mouth vase or jar, positioning the heavier flowers, such as the lilacs, around the rim and adding tulips, with stems left long, in the center. Slip the vase into a large lunch-size brown bag, and roll down the top a couple times to make a cuff. Tape or staple the bag in the back to make the cuff fit snugly around the vase. Tie with twine.
Dessert cups piled with strawberries and flowers makes a luscious, low-lying centerpiece that decorates a table without blocking cross-table views and conversation. The red-ripe berries are a clever and colorful substitute for florist's foam, anchoring berry-color ranunculus and roses along with and white daisies.
See the step-by-step of how to make this arrangement on the next slide.
Pile strawberries into dessert cups and fill the cups with water. Cut the stems of the flowers short and push them into the berries, spacing the flowers so the berries are still visible. (If necessary, use a wood skewer to make holes in the strawberries so the stems will slide in easily.) Change the water daily.
This spring vegetable medley blends artichokes, asparagus, and broccoli florets with white and yellow flowers, all cleverly displayed in an enamel colander. Sprigs of parsley, basil, and other herbs fill in with delicate scents and more shades of green.
See the step-by-step of how to make this arrangement on the next slide.
Line a colander with tin foil. Add a block of moistened florist's foam. Break wooden skewers into 5-inch pieces, and push one end into the bottom of each vegetable and the other into the foam. Build the arrangement from the rim upward toward the center. Place large items such as the artichokes and broccoli first, then fill in with flowers. The idea is to create a compacted effect, with the elements placed tightly against each other.

Headaches when you draw??
I have been drawing for about a week and when I do start drawing anatomy I keep getting headaches. I'm not concentrating or anything when I try to learn how to draw. Its happens to me when I copy from the Loomis and Bridgman books, but the strangest thing the headaches doesn't occur when I do doodles.

Could be a tension headache. Maybe you stress too much? Tension in the neck and shoulders can cause headaches. Check your posture.

If it's a tension headache like alesoun said, I think it's Excedrin that makes a Tension Headache OTC medicine. Get some of that and see if that helps with the headaches (unless of course you shouldn't be taking such medicine for some reason- I'm so not responsible if you keel over and die).
If nothing helps definitely go see an optometrist. Even if things aren't that blurry, you could still need a slight prescription. I don't notice a visual difference when I'm not wearing my glasses, aside from the killer headaches I get if I go without them for too long. If I'm drawing/painting, driving, or playing video games without my glasses, I'll get a headache in as little as 5-10 minutes. When you do doodles, you generally aren't straining your eyes as much. But when you add reading, focusing on details, etc. the chance for eyestrain increases.
In my experience, when I get a headache due to eyestrain there is no medicine that will help. Not even BC Powder (the stuff tastes like anal acid but works ridiculously fast). Just don't do what I did and wait two years after the headaches start to see a doctor. That was an irritating two years.
There is one thing one has to have: either a soul that is cheerful by nature, or a soul made cheerful by work, love, art, and knowledge.

yeah I think its staring on a computer too long that is giving me eye strains. Also, my room have poor lighting and I look to close when I draw. I think the problem is my desk setup and lighting that is giving me the problems. Hopefully, a drawing desk with better lighting would improve my problem. Thank you everyone for helping me out.

I used to get ridiculous headaches when I studied anything for long periods, then I just drank a lot of water, like one cup every half an hour then it just stopped happening. Try it out, could be simply your dehydrating yourself under mental strain.
Hope that helps.

But when you're internally motivated, you're driven by a desire to make yourself better. You're only accountable to you, and that means you control the variables that decide whether you succeed or fail. When those factors are stacked in your favor, the odds say you'll make lasting change.
There's lots of questionable and flat-out false fitness advice floating all around -- in the gym, online, on TV, and in magazines. We asked a few trainers to share the worst advice they've ever heard. Straight from the gym floor, here's what they reported.
Traditions die slowly if at all. The executive physical offered by hospitals and larger medical practices incorporating an exercise test, alone or coupled with echo or nuclear heart imaging, has a long history of use.
"Athletes can help to build awareness. Not just representing a retail manufacturer or fast food organization that pays them a lot of money to help them sell their products."
You will have forged a new character out of yourself, build strength and endurance and developed power. You will stand confident in who you are and what you can do: a true hero to yourself.
When you create good habits, you'll feel stronger, healthier, happier, and more capable of taking on even bigger challenges. With each step on your road to a better lifestyle, you'll gain more confidence, increase your momentum, and continue moving forward.
Just because you did something one day, doesn't mean it's right for you body the next day. Just because you could do it, doesn't mean you should. Give yourself permission to experiment with what works best for you, day-to-day.
My goal is to be in the best shape I've ever been when my 21-year-old son graduates from Cal Berkeley on May 16, 60 days from now. Here's what I'm committing to in my personal 60 Days to Fit program.
I am dedicated to making this happen and to getting my body back into top shape. With the start of Spring, I plan to go back to getting in my daily 10,000 steps. Looking forward to jogging again. And to not put off the things I want to do the most. Life matters.
Parent brawls, coaches who belittle athletes and the kids who are suffering from injuries, eating disorders or stress and exhaustion. It can leave a parent wondering: why is it valuable for my child to play youth sports?
Absolutely there is still more to do but, overall, exercise has made me feel better about myself. There are a few other special perks that I realized I had gained from my consistent workouts.

2011 Lincoln Town Car Sedan Signature Limited 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
According to my dash mileage computer, I'm averaging 26mpg highway (@70-75mph.) Thats 1mpg better than the turbocharged V6 in the MKZ which is remarkable considering the town car has the advantage in length, width and mass. 0-60 time is around 8 seconds. 8seconds! (This is not a sportscar). The car feels surprisingly nimble and light on its feet for such a large car. Cruising at eighty feels effortless and passing at 95 is easy. The suspension is designed for absorbing flaws in the road, but is adequate for swerving around a cinderblock lying on the freeway.
Air suspension-good ride quality
Great seats, quality leather/lumbar support
Good brakes
Light and easy steering
Ugly grille
Needs a sunroof

Full Range Offset Bipolar MLTL Speaker Design with Creative Sound Solutions (CSS) EL70 Drivers Three years ago I designed a bipolar mass loaded transmission line (MLTL) speaker that used the Creative Sound Solutions (CSS) full range FR125S (front) and extended range WR125S (rear) drivers. The drivers in each box were connected in parallel which created a 4 ohms load but no crossover or compensation networks were employed within these speakers. Given the 4.5" diameter size of these drivers, various listeners were amazed how such small drivers could produce generate the bass level that they did. While the upper frequency response did suffer a bit because of the directivity of the full range drivers, the overall performance and low cost yielded a very satisfying speaker. While I did notice that there was a dip of 4 dB in the on-axis response in the 400 to 500 Hz range because of the wraparound of energy from the rear driver to the front driver when the front to rear spacing between the drivers was a half wavelength, I could not hear an appreciable degradation to the overall performance of these speakers. Now ordinary free standing monopolar speakers radiate into 4 pi space (completely around the box) at lower frequencies but transition to 2 pi space (only forward radiation from the front baffle) as frequency increases. Hence, this transition in radiation characteristic is commonly called 'baffle step loss' as the listener hears 6 dB sound difference between the 2 pi radiation frequencies vs. the 4 pi radiation portion of the band. If the speaker is intended to be used away from the boundaries of the listening room, the designer typically will compensate for the sound difference between the 4 pi and 2 pi regions. In contrast bipolar speaker enclosures have drivers on their front and rear baffles and the drivers are wired in phase so they produce appropriately near omni-directional sound within the room as they radiate into 4 pi space across their entire frequency band. Thus no baffle step compensation is needed with bipolar speakers to equalize their sound across frequency. Hence, bipolar speakers address BSC with an acoustical answer and no additional equalization is usually needed to balance their frequency response. Finally, because of their rearward radiation, bipolar speakers do require room placement at least three to four feet away from the rear wall boundary so that the rear firing wave does not produce too much reflected sound which raises the reverberant energy within the room. Recently, I started to consider how to design a bipolar speaker that improved on my earlier efforts. Fortunately, my friend Duke LeJeune of AudioKinesis had developed an outstanding audiophile quality bipolar speaker. Duke's Dream Maker two-way speakers use premium 10 inch pro audio woofers combined with compression drivers situated in a low-coloration constant directivity waveguide. Duke generously documents his journey to design his speakers in a four-part posting on his Audio Circle forum entitled "The Case for the Controlled-pattern Offset Bipole". You can read his story at: http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=56877.0 After reading Duke's four-part posting, my takeaway focused on the benefits from the offset bipolar arrangement. First, the offset configuration (difference in vertical spacing between the front and rear drivers) helps mitigate the wraparound cancellation effect between of the front and rear drivers. Furthermore, a wider front baffle increases the front to back driver path length which lowers the frequency region where the wraparound cancellation occurs. Second, if the rear driver is located low on the back side, then the offset driver placement provides boundary enhancement which can smooth the in-room bass response. Furthermore, an offset bipole can be implemented with various bass tunings such as sealed boxes, vented boxes, or transmission line enclosures. Duke's efforts prompted me in new directions for an improved full range driver bipolar speaker configuration. To explore the offset bipolar configuration I wanted to use full range drivers and preferably a MLTL as this alignment can extract a pleasing amount of bass from small drivers. What I envisioned was a box that housed two back-to-back MLTLs within each enclosure. The front MLTL would have the driver near ear listening level with the port near the bottom of the box while the rear MLTL would be mirror imaged with the driver low on the rear baffle and the port near the top of the box. For simplicity the internal back wall of each MLTL would be shared within the enclosure. Although Duke's work to control the directivity of his speakers via a waveguide mounted tweeter can not be implicitly applied be to a full range driver, his notes on speaker toe-in will improve in-room sound with any speakers. For my offset bipolar design I was fortunate to have access to a prototype set of Creative Sound Solutions (www.creativesound.ca) EL70 four inches diameter paper cone drivers. These drivers are nominal 4 ohms impedance so for my design I wanted to connect the two drivers in series to achieve 8 ohms impedance for the bipolar speakers. The CSS EL70s were designed, developed, and manufactured for CSS by Mark Fenlon of Mark Audio. The projected price for these drivers is less than $50 each so they should be an excellent value. Finally, recent parameter measurements averaged over the first production lot of EL70 drivers (see Table I) are similar to the prototype units. To design the enclosure for the offset bipolar speaker I used Martin J. King's exceptional worksheets. Martin's worksheets will not explicitly model a bipolar speaker but they will model the individual MLTL within each box. The series connected combination of the two MLTLs in each enclosure will not increase the overall sound pressure level (although the radiating surface is doubled with two drivers the impedance is doubled so the net SPL remains unchanged). Iterations using the MLTL worksheet yielded a design that is a straight pipe with the following internal dimensions: 39 inches height, driver located 14 inches below the top, port located 37 inches from the top, a cross-sectional area of 27 square inches, and stuffing density of 0.54 pounds per cubic feet. The port diameter is 2.0625 inches with a length of 3.5 inches. For my prototypes I chose to use an internal cross-section for each individual MLTL of 3 inches depth and 9 inches width. With 0.75 inch thick material, the external dimensions of the overall bipolar enclosure (two sandwiched MLTLs) is 40.5 inches high with 8.75 inches depth, and a width of 10.5 inches. The predicted performance of the individual MLTL is shown in Figure 1. The SPL response has a F3 point of 40 Hz with a port null at 45 Hz. The plots in Figure 1 are plotted for an input power level of one watt. Note that the deflection is well within maximum deflection (Xmax) limits and the impedance of the individual MLTL is typical for MLTL speakers (remember that when connected in series the overall impedance of the bipolar speaker will be nominally 8 ohms). Figure 2 shows the enclosures that were constructed for this design. Walnut panels were used for the sides and top of the box with MDF employed for the front and rear baffles, the shared internal panel and bottom of the box. The terminal plate (I used the Parts Express #260-309) was located on the bottom of the box. Hardwood rails were used to stabilize the enclosure and raise it for access to the terminal plate. The port tubes are Parts Express #260-322 cut to the correct length. For each pipe I stuffed the volume from just below the front driver to the top of the box with Acousta Stuf™. For the rear driver the volume from just above the driver to the bottom of the box was stuffed. No additional stuffing was used within the boxes. An alternative to Acousta Stuf is to use a 9 x 16 inches sheet of 1 ½ inch thick convoluted acoustical foam behind each driver. Again the front and rear drivers are connected in series within the enclosure and no equalization circuitry is in the signal path to each driver. Early listening tests reveal a relatively well balanced response with a spacious sound within my listening room. Again you have to be careful when positioning bipolar speakers as too much reverberant sound can overpowers the basic presentation of the source material. Over the bass portion of the band the sound pressure level is surprising for the size of the speakers but that result was expected. While you don't expect 4 inch drivers to produce blow-you-over subwoofer kind of bass, you do hear an integrated, balanced musical statement. They have excellent sound for most types of music and I was particularly impressed with their performance with classical orchestral arrangements. They exhibit the typical magic of single driver speakers that we have come to expect. Initially, my speakers imparted a very slight nasal sound to vocals but they seem to produce more pleasing sound as break-in progressed. In the future we will better understand whether any frequency contouring or other correction will be needed. Overall I will say that for less than $200 worth of drivers you can yield a relatively small floor-standing pair of speakers that will satisfy listeners who have small to medium sized listening areas. An acoustical answer to an acoustical problem can be very pleasing. Table I.
