UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Having started in 17 career games at safety,
Malcolm Willis enters 2013 as the elder statesmen of the Nittany Lion
Willis will lead a group of defensive backs determined to make more big plays when opportunities present themselves in the fall. Through five spring practices under the direction of new defensive coordinator John Butler, Willis thinks the Lions have started 2013 off on the right foot.
"Things have gone well in the secondary," Willis said. "We are starting to make a lot more plays on the ball. That was one of our big down points last year. We had a number of opportunities in games, but we didn't make the plays. So, Coach Butler and Coach Midget have really emphasized for us to make plays on the ball."
Willis has taken it upon himself to make sure that everybody on the defense understands the concepts to ensure that the group is successful. That process starts with communication between the veterans and the newcomers to the Penn State defense.
"We are coming along well as a defense," Willis said. "Like I said before, we need to make sure those veteran guys are helping the younger guys learn off of them. We need to make sure those guys are in the film room watching enough film. We also have to make sure those younger guys are asking questions when they come off the field. As long as we communicate with each other, we will be OK."
The Nittany Lion defense is five practices into the tenure of John Butler as the defensive coordinator. While there is a new face in charge, Willis and the safeties are very familiar with Butler having spent a full season under his leadership in the secondary. The fiery defensive coordinator demands a lot from his players, but he is the first guy to show praise when they execute.
"He hasn't changed at all," Willis said. "It is fun the way he coaches. I love how competitive it is. He gets after you when you mess up, but he lets you know when you do something well. He's always in your ear about every little thing to make sure you are in the right place because the smallest little thing could be the difference between a pass breakup and a completion."
In addition to a new coordinator, Willis and his fellow safeties are on the field for the first time under new safeties coach Anthony Midget. Midget is an intense guy on the practice field, but he is a teacher.
"He is like Coach Butler," Willis said. "He might be a little less enthusiastic, but he is a great coach. He has been to the highest level as a player. He has played in the NFL and he has been an All-American in college. So any coaching that he has, we need to make sure we take in."
A big key for the secondary in 2013 will be the emergence of a group of young, talented corps of players who will provide depth to the unit. Willis, Stephen Obeng-Agyapong, Adrian Amos all bring a great deal of starting experience back for 2013, but Willis is excited about the emergence of younger talent this spring.
"It's been really good to see how the younger guys have progressed," Willis said. "Some of the younger guys who have really stepped up this spring are Jordan Lucas, Ryan Keiser; Trevor Williams has been a big surprise since they moved him over to defense. He has been practicing really well. That is just naming a few."
The big message Willis is trying to convey to the younger players in the secondary is the same one Coach Butler is preaching to the entire defense: Make plays when you are in position to do so. The Nittany Lion secondary broke up 22 passes in 2012, but made just three interceptions. Willis wants to see the Lions take advantage of their opportunities better in 2013.
"The main thing is film study," said Willis. "If you understand the defense and you understand where you need to be and you understand the way that the offense is trying to attack you, you will be able to anticipate things before the snap of the ball. Once you are in that spot, you need to make the play."
Physically, Willis said he feels great after a strong offseason in the weight room. The Lion senior dropped a few pounds of body fat and added some muscle during the offseason.
"I feel good. The whole team has taken tremendous strides in terms of conditioning," said Willis. "We are all in much better shape than we were this time last year."
With 10 practices to go during the spring season, Willis wants to see the defense continue to grow as a cohesive unit, and that starts with good communication.
"For us a defense, I want to make sure that we are communicating really well to make sure that we have that team camaraderie, so that when the spring game is here we can polish that up and then over the summer work at it more, so that by the time week one comes we will be ready to go" Willis said.

The futures have just tripped their third buy-signal in a year on the daily chart, and even though this may prove to have been a false alert, there is probably money to be made trading from the long side. The actual signal came at the 3.3673 point 'X' shown, so camouflageurs should focus on buy-side opportunities here. My hunch is that the move will get to p=3.503, at least, without stopping out those who have boarded thus far — a 'successful' trade by our definition. (A 'winner' is a camo trade that gets to 'D' or higher.)

Click here for a special deal for graduates of the Hidden Pivot Course who want to stay on the cutting edge
The laser-like accuracy of Rick Ackerman's forecasts is well known in the trading world, where his Hidden Pivot Method has achieved cult status. Rick's proprietary trading/forecasting system is easy to learn, probably because he majored in English, not rocket science. Just one simple but powerful trick -- managing the risk of an ongoing trade with stop-losses based on 'impulse legs' – can be grasped in three minutes and put to profitable use immediately. Quite a few of his students will tell you that using 'impulsive stops' has paid for the course many times over.
Another secret Rick will share with you, "camouflage trading," takes more time to master, but once you get the hang of it trading will never be the same. The technique entails identifying ultra-low-risk trade set-ups on, say, the one-minute bar chart, and then initiating trades in places where competition tends to be thin.
Most important of all, Rick will teach you how to develop market instincts (aka "horse sense") by observing the markets each day from the fixed vantage point that only a rigorously disciplined trading system can provide.
The three-hour Hidden Pivot Course is offered live each month. If it's more convenient, you can take it in recorded form at your leisure, as many times as you like. The course fee includes "live" trading sessions (as opposed to hypothetical 'chalk-talk') every Wednesday morning, access to hundreds of recorded hours of tutorial sessions, and access to an online library that will help you achieve black-belt mastery of Hidden Pivot trading techniques.

Artichoke Necklace
Teresa Buoch demonstrates her process for making this faux artichoke necklace.
Materials and Tools:
mixing bowl
cooking spray and plastic wrap or wax paper
small paint spatula for mixing
paper towels
Temp-Plus Liquid and Temp-Plus acrylic powder*
small hobby drill
sanding wheel bit
flat head saw mandrel
rubber abrasive polishing wheel
protective glasses
jewelry glue
2 sterling mounts
paint palette, small round brush, small flat brush
acrylic clear coat
acrylic paint, medium green, yellow, white, dark green, brown
jewelry pliers
crimp beads, stringing wire, lobster catch, selected gemstones
*Guest attained Temp-Plus acrylic products from her dentist.
1. Pour a small amount of acrylic powder (Temp-Plus) into a small mixing bowl and begin adding the liquid (Temp-Plus) a little at a time until it reaches the consistency of thick batter.
2. Spray a piece of wax paper with cooking spray. Spray your hands with cooking spray. Pour the mixed acrylic onto the wax paper. Working quickly, shape it into a rounded tree-like object for the artichoke shape. Score outlines of the individual leaves into the face for a guideline. Let it set overnight or at least 6 hours.
3. Wearing protective glasses use a hobby drill fitted with a round sanding mandrel and shape the artichoke and sand it smooth.
4. Switch to a flat head saw and carve all of the leaves into the artichoke.
5. Change the bit to the rubber wheel polisher to knock off any of the stubborn particles.
6. Apply jewelry glue with a toothpick to the back of the artichoke and glue two sterling 3-hole findings to the underside of the artichoke. Let dry.
7. Mix a very small amount of the acrylic mixture (step 1) making it a little thinner. Apply a thin coat over the entire back of the artichoke with a small palette knife paying special attention around the silver mounts. Coat it again. Let it dry for an hour or so.
8. Base-coat the entire artichoke with medium light green acrylic paint.
9. Mix the white and yellow paint together with the medium green acrylic paint to add highlights to the grooves between each leaf.
10. Apply a dark green paint at the bottom of each of the leaves and blend up. Shade the tips of the leaves with rich brown paint. Let the painting cure for a couple of hours.
11. Coat the artichoke with acrylic clear coat. Let it sit overnight to cure.
12. Pre-select the gemstones. Put a crimp bead on the end of a stringing wire. Close it using jewelry pliers to one of the loops in one of the 3-hole findings.
13. String the beads from the centerpiece out to the ends.
14. Crimp the end onto the lobster claw clasp.
15. String five more beaded wires, attaching each string to one of the holes in the remaining findings. There will be three strings on each side of the artichoke. Attach three strings to the ends of each side of the lobster clasp.
Teresa Buoch has always loved and worn unusual jewelry. Years ago, when she was working with a women's catalog that included jewelry, she started making her own pieces to wear. Before long she found that more and more she would wear a piece and wind up selling it right off her neck. Now she calls her studio "the playroom" and has friends come over to pick their own stones so she can create a custom piece for them.

"The great combination of luxury features, high tech toys and very good fuel economy makes one look forward to the daily commute. We wanted a car that had less impact on the planet and the HS250h fit the bill with very low emissions and being 85% recyclable. Factor in the predicted excellent 5 year cost of ownership and we feel good about our purchase."

"I recently purchased this car after test driving about a dozen other models. I knew this was the car for me for several reasons. First, I am tired of spending over $70 a month on gas. This model partly solves this problem with 35 mpg. For example, I took the car on a 350 mile round trip several days ago on a hilly 65 mph Interstate and some stop & go traffic including a half hour stuck in traffic. The car got 38 mpg and used about nine gallons. My previous car with 24 avg mpg would have used 16+ gallons on this trip. Second, the car is very comfortable inside and has an easy to understand dash and controls. I have the basic model and no navigation which I find too distracting. The car is also about 100 pounds lighter than the premium model that may add slightly to the mpg. However, this model still has a long list of luxary features. The seats are very good. I felt comfortable the first time in the driver, passenger, and back seats with little or no adjustment, an experience I never had before. The seating is about three inches higher than many other midsize cars that improves views of the road and makes it easier to enter and leave the car. Head room is fine for me at 5' 6" but tall people may be a bit cramped. The radio is excellent, heated seats can be adjusted to the temp you like, and the climate control is excellent. The car handles well and it can turn tightly with the best other cars. Road feel is good and the car is quiet inside even at 65 mph. However, it takes a few hours of driving to become familiar with the hybrid system and the overall handling including steering and braking. After a while the driving experience becomes very good. Some of the published reviewers of the car do not appear to have driven long enough to appreciate the driving experience. Third, the car has cutting edge technology. I especially like the driving feedback information on the dash that gives real-time information on gas consumption in two modes. One mode provides an immediate view of how your driving is affecting gas milege and battery charging. Over time this can teach the driver to use less fuel. Forth, this is a Lexus meaning that reliabilty and attention to details for both the car and the dealership are usually guarenteed. Finally, I bought the car to reduce my footprint on the environment. Lexus should be recognized as one of the few luxary brands making a significant effort to reduce fuel consumption."

Pros: "this car rides higher, more like my SUV"

"I'm retired. last three cars were Lexus 350. Liked them all except wanted better milage as I planned on taking road trips. Happy to say the gas milegae is good, not quite as stated, but this car offers the comfort and features i wanted in a car. I did drive a Prius, yes it was good, better mileage, but at my age and driving four Lexus' I'm spoiled, liking comfort features that the Prius didn't offer. Yup! the price was different too, but I'm very happy with my HS 250."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 6,500overall rating 8 of 10rating details
Pros: "fast off the start and accelerating for a hybrid, very quiet, good leg room in the back seat."
Cons: "Absolutlely no storage in the interior of the car."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Bought this car after looking at all the hybrids on the mrket at the time. This car is fast off the start and accelerating, for a hybrid. The car is loaded with high tech toys. It has the mouse controller and the steering wheel with the "Heads Up Display" really spols you. Love this car. Wasn't sure I would be okay with Hybrid technology, but seems to go through snow and slush just fine. Over size 20" wheels helps. Would buy this car again. One drawback is the total lack of storage compartments in the car."

"Mpg OK, 30-33, back seats comfortable, sound system good, lots of amenities. Very difficult without back-up camera: beware. Don't buy one without it. Next to no trunk space, rides rough (also the rumble of gas engine going on and off) and noisy. Shouldn't even be called a Lexus. Driver seat has little leg room and cramped area for pedals: too close. Plastic bumpers and panels too low to curbs; already have $3500 of damage in first nine months. Wanted a green car; this one is a generation or two away from what Lexus wants. Already recalled for brakes, gas tank, coming up. My third and last Lexus, after two happy experiences with ES 300."

"Comfort, Handling, and User Friendly High Technology, provide for an optimal and pleasurable driving experience. The navigation system is state of the art and extremely intuitive. The remote touch "mouse like" controller that operates the nav system will make anyone who uses a computer feel at home. The menu system is simple and straightforward allowing easy access to navigation, audio, phone, and climate settings. The system provides a highly advanced "natural speech" voice recognition to operate many of the control functions. The car's four power settings work flawlessly and provide ample options for drivers who like to maximize their hybrid results to those who prefer to emphasize the "power" route with hightened acceleration and thrust.Handling is straightforward, controlled ,and predictable offering a very rewarding driving experience on both highways and local roads. If hybrid technology coupled with luxury and comfort is valued, the Lexus HS 250 delivers on all counts."

"Great gas mileage, but without having to sacrifice quality and style. I kind of think of it as my souped up Corolla, in a good way! I absolutely love the heads up display (part of technology package). I think it should be a mandatory feature in all cars because it makes it so much easier to stay aware of your speed. I drive slower, especially when I use eco-mode (which is all the time) because the car really doesn't have a lot of 'oommph' in eco-mode. I don't mind it, my husband hates it. (He likes V8s!) I also really like the mouse like device used to control the navi. It is much easier than a touch screen."

Pros: "Great technological features and comfortable ride"
Cons: "Price"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I was able to drive from PHX to LA in one full tank. Fuel economy is wonderful. Drives much better, smoother and much more comfortable than the PRIUS. I can't believe it is compared to it because they are nothing alike. More horses and speed picks up really fast watch the odomoter so you don't get a ticket. I have the fully loaded version and the front camera is handier than you think. Have used it many times and avioded many accidents. The lane keep assist is great dirving at night after a long shift at work or if you are tired. Has an alarm that get's your attention. This is just an extraordinary vehicle for the price. Highly recommended."

'Think before you do', with that you can save lives. Just keep that in mind.
I went to a party mum,
I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink,
Mum, so I drank soda instead.
I really felt proud inside, mum.
The way you said I would.
I didn't drink and drive mum.
Even though the others said I should.
I know you were always right.
Now the party is finally ending mum,
Everyone is driving out of sight,
As I got into my car, mum.
I knew I'd get home in one piece.
Because of the way you raised me.
So responsible and sweet,
I started to drive away mum.
But as I pulled out into the road,
The other guy didn't see me mum.
And hit me like a load.
As I lay there on the pavement mum.
I hear the police man say.
'The other guy is drunk' mum,
And now I am the one who will pay.
I'm laying here dying mum...
I wish you'd get here soon.
How could this happen to me mum?
My life just burst like a balloon.
There is blood all around me mum.
And most of it is mine.
I hear the medic say, mum,
I'll die in a short time.
I just wanted to tell you, mum.
I swear I didn't drink.
It was the others mum.
The others didn't think.
He was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference is he drank.
And I will die.
Why do people drink mum?
It can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling sharp pains now.
Pains just like a knife.
The guy who hit me is walking mum.
And I don't think it's fair.
I'm lying here dying and all he can do is stare.
Tell my brother not to cry mum.
Tell daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven mum,
Put 'GOOD BOY' on my grave.
Someone should have told him mum.
Not to drink and drive.
If only they had told him mum.
I would still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter mum.
I'm becoming very scared.
Please don't cry for me mum.
When I needed you, you were always there.
I have got one last question mum.
Before I say goodbye,
I didn't drink and drive,
So why am I the one to die?
How would you feel if you took someone's life?

James H. Billington, the Librarian of Congress, said, "I see in Herrera's poems the work of an American original. His poems engage in a serious sense of play—in language and in image—that I feel gives them enduring power. I see how they champion voices, traditions, and histories, as well as a cultural perspective, which is a vital part of our larger American identity."
Herrera is the first Mexican-American poet laureate and will be participating in the Library of Congress National Book Festival on September 5, as well as kicking off the annual literary season with a reading of his poems at the Coolidge Auditorium on September 15.

Joining the list of James Beard Award-winning members (Oxford University Press and the University of California Press) is the University of Texas Press, with David Sterling's Yucatán: Recipes from a Culinary Expedition taking home this year's "Cookbook of the Year" prize. Due to it's isolated geographical position, the Yucatán Peninsula has retained much of the heritage that came to Mexico during European expansion, allowing the region to perfect an explosively powerful flavor profile combining the best of both the old and new worlds. Congratulations to both David Sterling and the University of Texas Press for the James Beard Award and make sure you check out Yucatán: Recipes from a Culinary Expedition the next time you're feeling culinarily adventurous.
Liverpool University Press Wins Two Prestigious Awards

noble bearing, his genial humor, his untiring benevolence, his upright, uncompromising adherence to principle, his ardent philanthropy, his noble disinterestedness. Irving in his "Astoria," and Franchere in his "Narrative," give many striking traits of his early character, together with events of his history of a thrilling and romantic interest, but both have left the most valuable portion unsaid, his after-life, namely, as a Christian gentleman.
Of his beloved partner, who still survives him, mourning on her bereaved and solitary pilgrimage, yet cheered by the recollection of her long and useful course as a "Mother in Israel," we will say no more than to offer the incense of loving hearts, and prayers for the best blessings from her Father in heaven.

Like the new look New version of the apartment improves a lot over the old one, which was lacking some features. Better media and social integration. Yay for selectable text!
News24 not responding Thanks News24 app is workig again .
Articles won't open. Freezes entire phone I have always enjoyed this app. But since its update I have had problems opening the articles. I can still see all the headings, but when I tap on a news article, the whole screen turns black and the app freezes. Please fix it as soon as possible
Crashing This app crashes constantly. The weather service has not worked for me for months.... Just keeps saying it's updating. When it did work it lost details to my own city, which I had previously. Why can weather pick up Mobile River and not Pietermaritzburg? Reported it and have never had a response. Your service sucks!
Unusable App is broken since last update on S4. The main screen loads but as soon as I click on a article the entire display goes black and phone becomes unresponsive, few seconds later the application crashes. Have a screenshot captured.
And so it begins..... No comments & app now crashes. A sign of things and standards to come.
Crash boom bang. The app is now constantly crashing. Cannot even load one article. There is no feedback from the Devs. Shocking spelling. It truly seems like some grade 4 writing competition. Now also with comments no longer being online it makes it rather useless as the comments kept us up to date with various people's thoughts and ideas. Even of there where racist comments you should have a better way of tracing those idiots not banning everyone.

RATINGS: 378 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.36 SEASONAL: Winter EST. CALORIES: 177 ABV: 5.9%
This unique seasonal beer offers the warmth of an old English pub to help ward off the chill of a winters night. It has its origins in British neighborhood pubs where villagers would gather to shake off the damp cold of the bitter English winter. Theyd share a pint or two of winter warmer ale by the fire, catch up on local gossip, and stay inside, where it was warm. Weve brewed our version in the tradition of those winter ales, with a robust, full-bodied flavor and a tangy hint of spices.

Recent Tucson reviews
"My husband and I stayed at Ro and Dave's casita in September, 2015. It is a beautiful place that is new, clean, well-equipped and very comfortable. Immediately upon our arrival we felt welcome. Their extra attention to detail is what made this a special vacation rental. My husband has dietary restrictions and the kitchen being ample and efficient was important to us. Being provided with information on the local area helped us determine what Tucson has to offer and how we wanted to spend our time while there. We found the upscale neighborhood quiet and the common areas a nice place to enjoy the local wildlife and relax. The proximity to shopping and restaurants was perfect and excursions to parks and sightseeing close enough for a short drive. All I can say is we will be back again next year!"Guest: J+J Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: September 24, 2015View listing

"Our family gathered in Tucson, all 9 of us, for a special occasion. People thought we were crazy for going in the summer! But what a beautiful place. Everyone thought it was perfect. The kids loved the donkeys, who were so sweet. We had plenty of space to be together - or apart. The bed space and bathrooms worked out really well. It was located so well for getting around Tucson for shopping or sightseeing. The owners were very hospitable and accommodating. This is definitely a place we would stay again. The outside areas and pool were fabulous and so many great places for picture taking. We had a wonderful time and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommended."Guest: Gma & Gpa Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: August 10, 2015View listing

ASHBURN, Va. | As if watching his team give up 59 points wasn't painful enough to see in person, Washington Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett went straight to the office in the wee hours and turned on the reruns.
"I watched it at, like, 3:30, 5:30, and I watched it when I went home," Haslett said Thursday. "I watched it three or four times. It didn't get any better."
A beatdown like Monday night's 59-28 loss to Philadelphia this late into the season — after two weeks to prepare because of the bye week, no less — is cause for introspection, explanation and at least a little change.
The Redskins (4-5) have been doing all three as they prepare for Sunday's visit to the Tennessee Titans, a game Washington needs to realistically stay in the playoff hunt.
"I've never been a part of anything like this before," offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan said. "I think we're all frustrated with it. You try not to press, and we've just got to keep going forward."
It's amazing the Redskins have been able to stay so close to .500, considering they rank so poorly in so many areas. The offense can't sustain a drive. It has only seven possessions all season that have lasted 10 plays or more, fewest in the NFL.
Donovan McNabb is the league's lowest-rated quarterback on third down, completing only 42 percent of his passes with a rating of 44.5.
The Redskins went 0 for 10 on third down conversions against the Eagles. They could start 11-for-11 against the Titans and still not catch up to the percentage of 31st-ranked Chicago.
The defense is giving up 415.3 yards per game, on pace to threaten the all-time NFL record for yards allowed in a season. The last two games have been real stinkers — a 37-25 loss to Detroit preceded the debacle against Philadelphia.
For months, players and coaches have talked about the inevitable growing pains they would experience after installing a new offense and defense under new coach Mike Shanahan. Nine games into the season, that line of thinking starts to get a bit tiresome — even if it's still true.
"People have new offenses all the time," Kyle Shanahan said. "That doesn't mean we're going to be as bad as we're doing."
Linebacker Brian Orakpo said he's not going to use the new defense as an excuse because nine games have been played already, but he said the Redskins are having growing pains.
"We would love to be top 10 in all the stats that a defense can have, but we're struggling right now as far as getting stuff down, everybody being on the same assignment, tackling. All kinds of issues," he said.
The defense has been plugging pieces from last year's 4-3 defense into a 3-4 scheme. Haslett said when Green Bay made a similar switch last year, the Packers made sure they drafted new players that would fit. The Redskins tried to shift players around — and it hasn't worked in many cases.
"When you do make a switch from one to the other without really adding a lot of pieces, it's going to take a little bit of time," Haslett said.

Plus I believe in "free trade" in terms of bartering. I think taxing NEW goods, and goods that have been refurbished is ok, but taxing a used good is bullshit, someone already payed the taxes on that items value. Unless I'm selling the item and claiming the depreciation loss on my taxes, the other guy shouldn't pay any taxes on the item, the government already got their money. If however I do claim a depreciation on the sale of it, then the other person (should be told) and write that as a purchase.
Trust me, I know a lot about tax law, and have my own opinion of how it should work and be fair and not take advantage. No taxation without reason and intent... That's my feeling.
~Stone | Sent w/ iPhone using Tapatalk
And tax law is inherently simple - if the statute makes something taxable, then it is taxable. And if it doesn't succeed in making it taxable, it isn't taxable. Traditionally, taxing statutes would be strictly construed by courts.
Fairness is a question of politics, not tax law, unless the tax law actually incorporates questions of fairness into its language
Back to the topic of the thread?
To OP:
My recommendation is to get whatever is offered locally, cheaply, complete and get started. Spend as little as you can because believe it or not, many people and business are glad to give them away knowing they will be used. So far, I had 4 enlargers. First was Omega D2 which I paid 40 dollars. Second was another Omega D2 I was given for free but needed some work. Then Besler PrintMaker 35 came and went. Then Vivitar VI that was given to me for picking them up. (Free) Just few days ago, I was offered several but I don't have any more room! There was also a lead on a large school darkroom that is closing.... :(
Once you get started and start communicating more actively with people who are local to you, you'll have endless offers.
So are you in Chicago permanently, or just temporarily? If you will be here awhile, and you are able to wait a couple of weeks for me to dig up my old enlarger (from my parents' house), then I'd be willing to let you have it gratis. I just need to gather everything together. The enlarger is Besselar 67 something or other - I forget the exact model number - but it's the one that has a nice chassis and a color head (no need for separate filters). Always willing to help out a fellow Pennsylvanian ( I hail from the Pittsburgh area myself ).
PM me if interested.
