Store Profile
- Location: Austin, Texas and online
- Website: featheryournesthome.com
Store History
As Austin's original fine linen boutique, Feather Your Nest has been serving the ever-growing and expanding Central Texas Area for over 20 years. From humble beginnings as a small bed and bath shop, we have evolved to become purveyors of a wide selection of superior linens, as well as, distinctive home furnishings, accessories and glassware to dress your home from start to finish. Our mission is to provide you, our customer, with beautiful, high-quality design solutions for a well-appointed home. We carry the most popular brands in fine linens and home accessories, including Bella Notte, Sferra, Scandia Down and Juliska, among many others. We are now offering the online community the same design possibilities and incomparable customer service that we have provided Austin for all these years.
For the longest time we were under the impression that Feather Your Nest, in Austin, was just an online linen store. Boy, were we wrong! Feather Your Nest has been a linen and home accessories store serving Austin for over 20 years, and we found tons of stuff to love about this place.
With fall getting closer and closer, we can't help but feel like we want to add a bunch of warm and cozy details to every room of our house. Feather Your Nest makes for a great spot to check out. They have tons of home linens of all types, like bed sheets, rugs, pillows, tabletop linens, duvets, bath towels and more. Just a few of the names they carry are Bella Notte, Sferra, Scandia Down and Juliska, and we saw a good mix of high-quality (more expensive) brands and plenty of affordable (but still high-quality) names.
Though they carry a large number of bed linens and other soft, lovely things, they have a lot of fun items for the tabletop like dinnerware, glassware and more (just in time for Thanksgiving and the rest of holiday entertaining system). And over the years they've branched out into accessories for the bath as well as baby items, some furniture and even books.
Make no mistake, Feather Your Home definitely carries a number of expensive, high-quality items, but in many ways it's an accessible home accessories store for any budget. Along with carrying a range of prices, they have plenty of carry and go items (meaning not everything is special order) and they've even recently added a special sale room in the back of the store. And should you need some extra help with your home, they offer interior design services, for any sized project. With soft things to touch and fragrant smells around every corner, this is a definitely a store for the senses.

The UFC's forthcoming debut on the Versus network is already shaping up nicely, and a lightweight scrap between Clay Guida (25-11 MMA, 5-5 UFC) and Sean Sherk (33-4-1 MMA, 7-4 UFC) is in the works for the event.
The bout was first reported by The Times of Northwest Indiana, and MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has since confirmed with sources close to the event that verbal agreements from both fighters are in place.
Bout agreements are expected to be finalized shortly.
The as-yet-unannounced UFC on Versus 1 event, which is expected to feature a main event between light heavyweight contenders Jon Jones and Brandon Vera, is scheduled for March 21. The event marks the first time the UFC has broadcast a live event on the Versus network.
Sherk, a former UFC lightweight champion, looks to rebound from a disappointing unanimous-decision loss to Frankie Edgar at UFC 98 in what served as "The Muscle Shark's" only 2009 bout. After defeating Hermes Franca in 2007 for his lone UFC title defense, Sherk has gone just 1-2 under the UFC banner.
Sherk had been expected to fight at the injury plagued UFC 108 event, but a deep cut suffered in training forced him off of the card.
Meanwhile, Guida seeks to snap a two-fight losing streak. After falling short in a split-decision result with in his "Fight of the Year" with Diego Sanchez, Guida was submitted by Kenny Florian at December's UFC 107 event.
Guida received a 180-day suspension from the Tennessee Athletic Commission for the damage he received in the contest, but "The Carpenter" can be cleared earlier by an ophthalmologist.
With the addition to the card, the still-developing UFC on Versus 1 event now includes:
- Jon Jones vs. Brandon Vera*
- Clay Guida vs. Sean Sherk*
- John Howard vs. Anthony Johnson*
* – Not officially announced
For the latest on UFC on Versus 1, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.

Hey all
I am wondering if anyone has had a shoulder injury in the past and how that has affected your ability to shoot a bow and carry a pack.
I have been an avid shooter, over 400 shots a week all year, for a number of years. Last summer while riding my road bike I was t-boned by a car blowing through a stop sign and I ended up in an ambulance. Complete separation of my left A/C joint (grade 3/4). This means my shoulder is no longer attached to my collar bone. My shoulder and shoulder blade "free float" now. I have been in physio rehab and hitting the gym daily focussing on the shoulder. I can now shoot about 50 arrows a night at my usual 70 pound draw before it starts to hurt so bad I have to stop. Last september I couldn't lift my bow past my waist so I am pretty happy with this.
If anyone out there has had an A/C separation or other shoulder injury I would love some info on how that affected your shooting and ability to carry a pack.

First off, hello!
Our company has a random mysql table with contact information that I am trying to get accessable over to Zimbra's Address book so we can ultimately sync that information with iPhone.
Here's the issue!
I'm using this header to put data into a user's contact system(via: sudo /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m email@example.com pru /Contacts awesome.csv ).
the header:
"Business City","Business Country","Business Fax","Business Phone","Business Phone 2","Business Postal Code","Business State","Business Street","Business Street 2","Business Street 3","Callback","Car Phone","Company","Company Main Phone","Department","E-mail Address","E-mail Display Name","E-mail Type","E-mail 2 Address","E-mail 2 Display Name","E-mail 2 Type","E-mail 3 Address","E-mail 3 Display Name","E-mail 3 Type","First Name","Home City","Home Country","Home Fax","Home Phone","Home Phone 2","Home Postal Code","Home State","Home Street","Home Street 2","Home Street 3","Initials","Job Title","Last Name","Middle Name","Mobile Phone","Notes","Other City","Other Country","Other Fax","Other Phone","Other Postal Code","Other State","Other Street","Other Street 2","Other Street 3","Pager","Suffix","Web Page"
Now, that's great. I need to be able to put notes into the system, which I can do(because I'm doing fancy syncing to manage personal contacts and business contacts).
The downside comes here, when I try to get a user's address book in CSV.
I run:
sudo /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m firstname.lastname@example.com getRestURL "Contacts?fmt=csv" > my_contacts.csv
And the header I get for the information out of there is:
"company","email","email2","firstName","homePhone" ,"homeState","homeStreet","jobTitle","lastName","m obilePhone","otherCity","workCity","workPhone","wo rkPhone2","workPostalCode","workState","workStreet "
I've even gotten some though where the second field is "dlist"(what is dlist anyway?).
The note that I put into in the original field(which works fine.) comes out under "otherCity" when I run the export. This is obviously less than optimal if my data is just being tossed around randomly into generated CSV files.
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround?
Please Help! I just want some consistency here in imports/exports!

Nearly 60% of births in Marion were to unwed moms in 2011
Published: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 1:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 1:09 p.m.
The Ocala metro area, which is defined as all of Marion County, has the highest rate of births from unmarried women in Florida.
Births from unmarried women
In 2011, 4.1 million women reported they had given birth within the past year. Of those, 36 percent were unmarried at the time of the survey.
• Highest percentage: Flagstaff, Ariz. (74.6)
• Lowest percentage: Cheyenne, Wyo. (4.7)
• Marion County: 59.6 percent (16th highest of all metro areas nationally)
New U.S. Census figures released Wednesday show 59.6 percent of the births in Marion were by unmarried women in 2011.
Of the nation's 365 metro areas, that ranks 16th highest.
The metro Palm Coast area, between Jacksonville and Daytona Beach, had the state's lowest rate at 6.2 percent.
In the Gainesville metro area, which includes Alachua and Gilchrist counties, the rate of births to unwed mothers was 22.2 percent.
The Census says women with more education generally have a lower rate of births out of marriage, and that characteristic was true for Florida.
In addition to having the highest unmarried birth rate in Florida, Ocala has the state's lowest rate of women with a bachelor's degree or more: 11.5 percent.
In Palm Coast that rate was 20.9 percent. In Gainesville it was 31.2.
"Although the numbers released by the Census Bureau are not what we would like to see, they are not all that surprising," said Dr. Nathan Grossman, director of the Marion County Health Department.
He noted that Marion County's Community Health Assessment revealed that between 2001 and 2009, the local teen birth rate surpassed the state's every year. In addition, only 20.1 percent of Marion County residents have some sort of college or professional school degree, compared with 29.4 percent of all Floridians.
Also, 40 percent of Marion County children live in single-parent households.
"These are not the things people would normally think of as health issues, but the health of a community is much more than just health care," Grossman said. "The group of community leaders that developed the Community Health Improvement Plan saw that these underlying social issues in Marion County need to be addressed if we want to see the health of the community improve."
He said that plan focuses on these and other social issues as the underpinnings of a healthy community. A lack of social support of a nuclear family and lack of education certainly can contribute to poor health outcomes.
Nationally in 2011, 4.1 million women reported they had given birth in the last year. Of those, 36 percent were unmarried at the time of the survey.
In 2005, an estimated 31 percent of recent births were to unmarried women. The statistics are from the Census' American Community Survey.
As for age: Nationally, 62 percent of women ages 20 to 24 who gave birth in the previous 12 months were unmarried. It was 17 percent among women ages 35 to 39.

Deputies seek ID of person in photo
Published: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 4:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 4:48 p.m.
OCALA - Sheriff's detectives are looking for a person who may have information about at least one vehicle burglary in the Silver Springs Shores area.
On July 17, around 6:30 p.m., a sheriff's deputy was going door to door on Pecan Drive Pass talking to people about multiple vehicle burglaries in the area when he saw a passenger door open on a vehicle. The owner of the vehicle told him the vehicle door had been unlocked, but she didn't think anything was missing.
The deputy continued his rounds but was called back to the woman's home, where she said she had discovered that her purse, driver's license, bank card, checkbook and other important documents were missing. The deputy later was looking around the area and discovered a purse and some partially burned documents. He contacted the woman, who came to the location and identified the purse and burned items as hers, according to reports.
Officials have released a photo of someone they say was in the area at the time. Anyone with information about the person can call the Sheriff's Office at 732-9111 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, visit www.ocalacrimestopeprs.com or text a tip to 274637 using the keyword 368STOP.

If you are inexperinced at packing, go on the web and learn a couple of hicths and then find a pack saddle and horse and practice, practice,practice. If your pack slips, your going to have a rodeo. A rental horse for a hunt is around $400 w/ tack and you will need a trailer to get to the trailhead. Good Luck!

Sing it Loud at 610 Saturdays
Royals fan Dave Curtis sang it at the last Royals "610 Saturdays" party (see video here)…now he is on royals.com and is a finalist to sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during a Royals game.
Will it be you this Saturday?
The Royals are hosting their second "610 Saturdays" event presented by Miller Lite prior to the 6:10 p.m. contest with the Toronto Blue Jays. This time, 610 Sports has invited 96.5 The Buzz out to the ballpark to host the event. On-air personality Jason of the "Middays with Jason" show will take over the mic for the event, which also feature a live performance by the band The Away Team.
But, let's get back to Dave, our Baby Ruth "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" contest winner…
For the first pre-game "610 Saturdays" party, we had 15 to 20 Royals fans who braved the cold to sing along to the traditional Seventh-Inning Stretch song. But, in the end, it was Dave who took home the title for his rendition of the classic. Now, Dave, along with all the other finalists from the Royals "610 Saturdays" this season, will be featured on royals.com. At the end of the season, fans will vote for their favorite Royals singer and the winner will lead the crowd in "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the Saturday, September 20 Fan Appreciation Night game, plus win two (2) Royals Season Tickets for 2009!
So…do you think you can beat Dave? If so, then we hope to see you at "610 Saturdays"…

From Michelle Hilleson
1 (26 oz) jar pasta sauce (your favorite, mine is Prego)
1 (30 oz) bag frozen cheese ravioli, unthawed
1 (10 oz) box frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry (I double)
1 (2 c.) bag shredded mozzarella
1/2 c. parmesan
Preheat oven to 350.
Spray 13X9 dish with cooking spray.
Spoon 1/3 sauce over bottom.
Layer 1/2 ravioli, 1/3 sauce, spinach, 1/2 each cheese.
Cover with remaining ravioli, sauce, and cheese.
Cover with foil and bake 25 min.
Uncover and cook 5-10min or until bubbly and golden brown.
Terri's notes:
- This was a huge hit with a table full of teens!
- I used cheese tortellini.
- I also used up what I had, the bag of tortellini was more than 30 oz., so I used a bit more sauce too. Use the recipe as a guideline and make it your own. It's great!

text: Bot-breakdown: deconstructing a Twitter-spam marketing campaign Technology 18 May 11 by Sam Gustin Screengrab: Wired.com Updated 6:50 p.m. EDT with statement from Elke Wong, the chief operating officer of Madison Logic:Madison Logic strives to maintain quality of leads for our advertisers. We work with over 300 publishers in the B2B space ranging from large Fortune 500 media companies to smaller niche content sites. We employ an initial screening process before signing on new partners and continue to monitor performance over time. Most publishers have standardized methods for advertiser distribution including, but not limited to contextual site placements, registration path, and email.However, Madison Logic does not condone or allow any dishonest practices such as Spam-tweeting and we have taken the initiative to resolve this issue with CIOWhitepaper.What do the following people have in common?Jill Dawnsoll, Kerry Ohnes, Dakota Baylie, Ellanah Cailn, Heidi Illems, Mirinda Latel and Paige Decanso.For one thing, they don't appear to be real people at all -- although their Twitter accounts are designed to look like they are. Not one of the individuals listed above was found on a routine, nationwide white-pages search. Not one of them was found in a search on Facebook, the world's largest social network, with more than 600 million members. Google searches for the names produced few results, all of which appear to originate from the Twitter accounts themselves. (See "Heidi Illems" for example.)Instead, these appear to be phony Twitter accounts, set up as part of a spam marketing campaign with the object of harvesting e-mail addresses and other personal information. This Twitter scam is an example of the lengths to which marketers will go in order to harvest valuable e-mail addresses, which can then be resold in bulk and used for mass mailings and other annoying commercial solicitations -- or worse.As Twitter grows like wildfire, spam is becoming an increasing problem for the service, and spam purveyors are using fake or disguised accounts, as well as increasingly sophisticated computer programs called "bots," to try to evade Twitter's terms of service. For example, whenever a hot new tech product like the iPad 2 is released, spammers track mentions of the product and follow or retweet the accounts.Amy Vernon, a well-known social media expert who is VP of strategy at social media consultancy Hasai, told Wired that "it is exceedingly obvious that these are dummy accounts.""If this is an actual marketing effort on Twitter, it's pretty bad," Vernon said. "A lot of people throw around terms like 'transparency' and 'authenticity,' so they sound trite, but they're important on social media.""It's much better is to create one account, and build up a relationship on Twitter, or any other social media site or platform," Vernon added. "But create a bunch of spam accounts with made-up people behind them? No one's going to pay attention, and you'll be lucky if they aren't all deleted as spam within days."Each of the accounts depicts a young woman, and several of them have vaguely impressive sounding titles like "Ecommerce analyst and consultant," "Marketing and Business Intelligence Consultant," "Web Designer Specialising in Online Advertising," "Business and Marketing Intelligence Specialist," and "Interactvie [sic] Web Designer and Programmer." (" Kerry Ohnes" may want to double-check the spelling of "interactive.") Each of the accounts appears to be peddling about a dozen so-called "white papers," with vaguely-impressive sounding titles like "The Complete 120-Page Guide To Social Media Marketing and Business Intelligence," and "Market Research and Social Media in the 21st Century."

Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr., 17 January 1942) is an American boxer who was the Heavyweight Champion of the World three times between 1964 and 1979.
- My conscience won't let me go shoot my brother, or some darker people, or some poor hungry people in the mud for big powerful America. And shoot them for what? They never called me nigger, they never lynched me, they didn't put no dogs on me, they didn't rob me of my nationality, rape and kill my mother and father. ... Shoot them for what? How can I shoot them poor people? Just take me to jail.
- Clay comes out to meet Liston and Liston starts to retreat,
if Liston goes back an inch farther he'll end up in a ringside seat.
Clay swings with his left, Clay swings with his right,
Look at young Cassius carry the fight
Liston keeps backing, but there's not enough room,
It's a matter of time till Clay lowers the boom.
Now Clay lands with a right, what a beautiful swing,
And the punch raises the Bear clean out of the ring.
Liston is still rising and the ref wears a frown,
For he can't start counting till Sonny goes down.
Now Liston is disappearing from view, the crowd is going frantic,
But radar stations have picked him up, somewhere over the Atlantic.
Who would have thought when they came to the fight?
That they'd witness the launching of a human satellite.
Yes the crowd did not dream, when they put up the money,
That they would see a total eclipse of the Sonny.
- Poem composed prior to his match with Sonny Liston, in 1963, as quoted in "Brash Clay waxed poetic in 1963 visit to Nashville" by Bill Traughber in Nashville's The CIty Paper (4 June 2002)
- Variant transcription: Who would have thought, when they came to the fight,
that they'd witness a launchin' of a black satellite.
- In response to the question "Who writes your stuff?" in 1963, as quoted in "Brash Clay waxed poetic in 1963 visit to Nashville" by Bill Traughber in The CIty Paper [Nashville] (4 June 2002)
- "This is the legend of Cassius Clay,
The most beautiful fighter in the world today. He talks a great deal, and brags indeed-y, of a muscular punch that's incredibly speed-y. The fistic world was dull and weary, But with a champ like Liston, things had to be dreary. Then someone with color and someone with dash, Brought fight fans are runnin' with Cash. This brash young boxer is something to see And the heavyweight championship is his des-tin-y. This kid fights great; he's got speed and endurance, But if you sign to fight him, increase your insurance. This kid's got a left; this kid's got a right, If he hit you once, you're asleep for the night. And as you lie on the floor while the ref counts ten, You'll pray that you won't have to fight me again. For I am the man this poem's about, The next champ of the world, there isn't a doubt. This I predict and I know the score, I'll be champ of the world in '64. When I say three, they'll go in the third,
2 years ago So don't bet against me, I'm a man of my word. He is the greatest! Yes! I am the man this poem's about, I'll be champ of the world, there isn't a doubt. Here I predict Mr. Liston's dismemberment, I'll hit him so hard; he'll wonder where October and November went. When I say two, there's never a third, Standin against me is completely absurd. When Cassius says a mouse can outrun a horse, Don't ask how; put your money where your mouse is! I AM THE GREATEST! (1964)
- I knew I had him in the first round. Almighty God was with me. I want everyone to bear witness, I am the greatest! I'm the greatest thing that ever lived. I don't have a mark on my face, and I upset Sonny Liston, and I just turned twenty-two years old. I must be the greatest. I showed the world. I talk to God everyday. I know the real God. I shook up the world, I'm the king of the world. You must listen to me. I am the greatest! I can't be beat!
- After defeating Sonny Liston for the first time (25 February 1964) as quoted in Sound and Fury : Two Powerful Lives, One Fateful Friendship (2007) by Dave Kindred, p. 58
- Variant transcription: I'm the greatest thing that ever lived. I'm so great I don't have a mark on my face. I shook up the world.
- As quoted in "When Clay shook up the world" (24 February 2004)
- "Archie's been living off the fat of the land. I'm here to give him his pension plan. When you come to the fight don't block the door. 'Cause you'll all go home after round four."
- Before his fight with Archie Moore, 1962
- I think Terrell will catch hell at the sound of the bell.
He's going around saying that he's a championship-fighter,
but when he meets me he fall 20 pound lighter.
He thinks that he's the real heavy weight champ
but when he meets me, he'll just be a tramp
Now I'm not sayin' just to be funny, but I'm fightin' Ernie because he needs the money.
- About Ernie Terrell before their February 1967 boxing match, - (YouTube video
- Ain't no reason for me to kill nobody in the ring, unless they deserve it.
- Comment after the match with Jimmy Ellis was stopped by the referee in the twelfth round (July 1971)
- I never thought of losing, but now that it's happened, the only thing is to do it right. That's my obligation to all the people who believe in me. We all have to take defeats in life.
- Statement before his fight with George Foreman (31 March 1973)
- Last night I had a dream, When I got to Africa,
I had one hell of a rumble.
I had to beat Tarzan's behind first,
For claiming to be King of the Jungle.
For this fight, I've wrestled with alligators,
I've tussled with a whale.
I done handcuffed lightning
And throw thunder in jail.
You know I'm bad.
just last week, I murdered a rock,
Injured a stone, Hospitalized a brick.
I'm so mean, I make medicine sick.
I'm so fast, man,
I can run through a hurricane and don't get wet.
When George Foreman meets me,
He'll pay his debt.
I can drown the drink of water, and kill a dead tree.
Wait till you see Muhammad Ali.
- A poem about his match with George Foreman, known as the Rumble in the Jungle (1974)
- If you were surprised when Nixon resigned, just watch what happens when I whup Foreman's behind!
- Comment prior to the "Rumble in the Jungle" (30 October 1974) as documented in When We Were Kings (1996)
- You been hearing about how bad I am since you were a little kid with mess in your pants! Tonight, I'm gonna whip you till you cry like a baby.
- To George Foreman before the start of the "Rumble in the Jungle" as the referee is giving them instructions (30 October 1974).
- That's the only way you gonna save this sucker. He's doomed.
- Comment prior to the "Rumble in the Jungle" about George Foreman prior to the fight, when referee Clayton warned Ali that if he didn't stop talking he would stop the fight. (30 October 1974)
- The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.
- Interview in Playboy magazine (November 1975)
- Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.
- As quoted in Jet magazine Vol. 58, No. 1 (August 1992)
- Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights? No I'm not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over. This is the day when such evils must come to an end. I have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars. But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality. If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn't have to draft me, I'd join tomorrow. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I'll go to jail, so what? We've been in jail for 400 years.
- As quoted in Redemption Song: Muhammad Ali and the Spirit of the Sixties (1999) by Mike Marqusee; also quoted in the International Socialist Review Issue 33 (January–February 2004)
- If Ali says a mosquito can pull a plow, don't ask how. Hitch him up.
- As quoted in "Muhammad Ali" by George Plimpton in "The TIME 100" in TIME (14 June 1999)
- Religions all have different names, but they all contain the same truths. … I think the people of our religion should be tolerant and understand people believe different things.
- When asked how he felt about the suspects in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks sharing his Islamic faith
- As quoted in "Bush: 'Justice Will Be Done'" at CNN (20 September 2001)
- What's really hurting me, the name Islam is involved, and Muslim is involved and causing trouble and starting hate and violence. … Islam is not a killer religion. … Islam means peace, I couldn't just sit home and watch people label Muslims as the reason for this problem.
- As quoted in "Muhammad Ali Defends His Religion" by Lisa L. Colangelo and Clem Richardson in New York Daily News (21 September 2001), p. 34
- I'm retiring because there are more pleasant things to do than beat up people.
- As quoted in Secrets of Power Persuasion for Salespeople (2003) by Roger Dawson , p. 192
- Joe Frazier is so ugly that when he cries, the tears turn around and go down the back of his head.
- Frazier is so ugly that he should donate his face to the US Bureau of Wildlife.
- As quoted in "Ali's Quotes" at BBC Sport : Boxing (17 January 2007)
- It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.
- As quoted in "Ali's Quotes" at BBC Sport : Boxing (17 January 2007)
- I'm not the greatest; I'm the double greatest. Not only do I knock 'em out, I pick the round
- As quoted in "Ali's Quotes" at BBC Sport : Boxing (17 January 2007)
- Allah is the Greatest. I'm just the greatest boxer.
- As quoted in "Interview with Muhammad Ali" at SoundVision.com
- I'd like for them to say he took a few cups of love, he took one tablespoon of patience, teaspoon of generosity, one pint of kindness. He took one quart of laughter, one pinch of concern, and then, he mix willlingness with happiness, he added lots of faith, and he stired it up well, then he spreads it over his span of a lifetime, and he served it to each and every deserving person he met.
- Response to George Plimpton, question at the end of an interview: "What would you like people to think about you when you've gone?" - Interview (video)
- Friendship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought nor sold, but its value is far greater than a mountain made of gold; for gold is cold & lifeless - it can neither see nor hear, in time of trouble its powerless to cheer - it has no ears to listen, no heart to understand, it cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand. So when you ask God for a gift, be thankful if sends not diamonds, pearls or riches but the love of real true friends. ** Response to Harold Bell, question about his view on friendship - Interview (video)
- I believe in Allah and in peace. I don't try to move into white neighborhoods. I don't want to marry a white woman. I was baptized when I was twelve, but I didn't know what I was doing. I'm not a Christian anymore. I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be...I'm free to be what I want.
- Responding to a press conference question as to whether he was a "card-carrying" member of the Black Muslims. Quoted in Sports Illustrated (March 9, 1964) and The New York Times (February 27, 1964)[1].
- I am a Muslim and there is nothing Islamic about killing innocent people in Paris, San Bernardino, or anywhere else in the world... True Muslims know that the ruthless violence of so called Islamic Jihadists goes against the very tenets of our religion... We as Muslims have to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda... They have alienated many from learning about Islam. True Muslims know or should know that it goes against our religion to try and force Islam on anybody.
Interview with David Frost (1974)[edit]
- David Frost: What would you like people to think about you when you've gone?
Muhammad Ali: I'd like for them to say:
He took a few cups of love.
He took one tablespoon of patience,
One teaspoon of generosity,
One pint of kindness.
He took one quart of laughter,
One pinch of concern.
And then, he mixed willingness with happiness.
He added lots of faith,
And he stirred it up well.
Then he spread it over a span of a lifetime,
And he served it to each and every deserving person he met.
The Soul of a Butterfly (2004)[edit]
- The Soul of a Butterfly : Reflections on Life's Journey (2004) (written with Hana Yasmeen Ali) ISBN 0743255690
- Over the years my religion has changed and my spirituality has evolved. Religion and spirituality are very different, but people often confuse the two. Some things cannot be taught, but they can be awakened in the heart. Spirituality is recognizing the divine light that is within us all. It doesn't belong to any particular religion; it belongs to everyone.
- p. xvi
- We all have the same God, we just serve him differently. Rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, oceans all have different names, but they all contain water. So do religions have different names, and they all contain truth, expressed in different ways forms and times. It doesn't matter whether you're a Muslim, a Christian, or a Jew. When you believe in God, you should believe that all people are part of one family. If you love God, you can't love only some of his children.
- p. xvii
- My soul has grown over the years, and some of my views have changed. As long as I am alive, I will continue to try to understand more because the work of the heart is never done. All through my life I have been tested. My will has been tested, my courage has been tested, my strength has been tested. Now my patience and endurance are being tested. Every step of the way I believe that God has been with me. And, more than ever, I know that he is with me now. I have learned to live my life one step, one breath, and one moment at a time, but it was a long road. I set out on a journey of love, seeking truth, peace and understanding. l am still learning.
- p. xix
- Wouldn't it be a beautiful world if just 10 percent of the people who believe in the power of love would compete with one another to see who could do the most good for the most people?
- p. xxiii
- If we continue to think and live as if we belong only to different cultures and different religions, with separate missions and goals, we will always be in self-defeating competition with each other.
Once we realize we are all members of humanity, we will want to compete in the spirit of love.
- p. xxiii
- In a competition of love we'll all share in the victory, no matter who comes first.
- p. xxiv
- To make America the greatest is my goal,
So I beat the Russians, and I beat the Pole,
and for the USA won the medal of gold.
Italians said: "You're Greater than the Cassius of old´´.
We like your name, we like your game,
So make Rome your home if you will.
I said I appreciate your kind hospitality,
But the USA is my country still,
'Cause they're waiting to welcome me in Louisville.
- Poem written after winning the gold medal in the 1960 Olympic Summer Games in Rome, Italy, p. 35
- Since I won't let the critics seal my fate, they
keep hollering I'm full of hate.
But they don't really hurt me none, 'cause
I'm doing good and having fun.
- "Still the Greatest", p. 109
- There live a great man named Joe
who was belittled by a loudmouth foe.
While his rival would taunt and tease
Joe silently bore the stings.
And then fought like gladiator in the ring.
- "The Silent Warrior", dedicated to Joe Frazier and his family, p. 112
- For every struggle that Joe survived,
For every dispute he endured, to rise,
Joe will go down in history
as a model for champions to come.
While Frazier was a man of few words,
Ali was a world of mouth,
but he found his place in history.
Now his heart can express him well.
Joe Frazier was a silent warrior,
whom Ali silently admired.
One could not rise without the other.
- "The Silent Warrior", p. 114

- How do you feel about Hitler sharing yours?
- Alleged response by Ali to a reporter who asked how he felt about sharing the Islamic faith with the suspects of the World Trade Center terrorist attack, as debunked at Snopes.com.
- My way of joking is to tell the truth. That's the funniest joke in the world.
- This is actually from Ali's autobiography "The Greatest". However, this was said by Don King to George Foreman.
- No Vietnamese ever called me [a] nigger. (Sometimes quoted as "No Viet Cong ever called me [a] nigger.")
- Ali biographer Thomas Hauser searched extensively to verify this popular quote's validity, but found no evidence of Ali actually saying it or anything resembling it, as documented in Nice Guys Finish Seventh : False Phrases, Spurious Sayings, and Familiar Misquotations (1993) by Ralph Keyes
- What Muhammad Ali actually said was "My conscience won't let me go shoot my brother, or some darker people, or some poor hungry people in the mud for big powerful America. And shoot them for what? They never called me nigger, they never lynched me, they didn't put no dogs on me, they didn't rob me of my nationality, rape and kill my mother and father... Shoot them for what? How can I shoot them poor people? Just take me to jail." as shown on [2] at 0:15 mark.

Quotes about Ali[edit]
- I hit him so hard that I made him cry. He looked at me and said, "I'm going to get you for that." I respected him then, and I respect him now.
- Clay is a good enough fighter, but it's unfortunate that he's a Black Muslim. A champion should represent all sects, not one.
- Joe Louis, as quoted in "'Living legend' still commands respect of peers" by Andrew Baker in The Daily Telegraph (15 January 2002)
- I'd like to borrow his body for just forty-eight hours — there are three guys I'd like to beat up, and four women I'd like to make love to.
- Jim Murray, quoted in Sportsworld : An American Dreamland (1975) by Robert Lipsyte
- Clay is so young and has been misled by the wrong people... He might as well have joined the Ku Klux Klan.
- Floyd Patterson, on his involvement with the Nation of Islam, as quoted in "'Living legend' still commands respect of peers" by Andrew Baker in The Daily Telegraph (15 January 2002)
- Under the influence of Elijah Mohammad — who preached that blacks should refuse to integrate with "white devils" — Ali made a point of dating only black women and lashed out at men and women who engaged in interracial sex. In an interview with Playboy, he declared: "A black man should be killed if he's messing with a white woman." When the interviewer asked about black women crossing the colour barrier, Ali responded: "Then she dies. Kill her, too."
It's unlikely that a white athlete who made such remarks would receive the praise that Michael Mann heaps on Ali. He says that the fighter "personified racial pride and self-knowledge". The Playboy journalist, who interviewed the boxer, was closer to the mark when he observed of his subject: "You're beginning to sound like a carbon copy of a white racist." … The transformation of Ali from a great fighter to a celebrated man of conscience and social purpose has succeeded so well because the actual history of his career has been altered to reflect the kinder, gentler man of today. Unpleasant remarks or facts from the past have been swept away or excused. … A more historically accurate appraisal of Ali would conclude that he was far from heroic outside the ring and was pitifully misused by his masters in the Nation of Islam. For his purposes, Elijah hijacked the impressionable young man's career and filled his head with racist nonsense.
By the time he finally broke free of the old Nation of Islam, in the 1970s, his career was in its last stages. He continued to fight long past his prime, in part to recover the money and time he had lost in his misadventures with the Black Muslims.
- In the early 1970s Muhammad Ali fought for the heavyweight title against George Foreman. The fight was held in the African nation of Zaire; it was insensitively called the "rumble in the jungle." Ali won the fight, and upon returning to the United States, he was asked by a reporter, "Champ, what did you think of Africa?" Ali replied, "Thank God my granddaddy got on that boat!" There is a characteristic mischievous pungency to Ali's remark, yet it also expresses a widely held sentiment. Ali recognizes that for all the horror of slavery, it was the transmission belt that brought Africans into the orbit of Western freedom. The slaves were not better off—the boat Ali refers to brought the slaves through a horrific Middle Passage to a life of painful servitude—yet their descendants today, even if they won't admit it, are better off. Ali was honest enough to admit it.
- Dinesh D'Souza, America: Imagine a World without Her (2014), Ch. 8.
- This quote that Dinesh D'Souza attributes to Muhammad Ali appears to have no valid origin, almost all other references are others referencing Dinesh D'Souza.

Terre Haute, IN (Sports Network) - Justin Gant scored 18 points and hauled in
11 rebounds as the Indiana State Sycamores bested the Illinois State Redbirds,
77-75, in Missouri Valley Conference play at the Hulman Center.
Jake Odum tallied 17 points and handed out six assists, Devonte Brown netted
12 points and Manny Arop added 10 points for Indiana State (8-4, 1-0 MVC). The
Sycamores have won four of their last five games.
Jon Ekey had 16 points for Illinois State (9-4, 0-1) and Jackie Carmichael
had a double-double of 13 points and 14 rebounds. Tyler Brown chipped in 11
points for the Redbirds who had a four-game winning streak snapped.
Neither team shot particularly well in the first half. The Sycamores hit on
38.7 percent of their shots and led 36-27 at the break. Illinois State managed
to hit just 25.7 percent of its shots in the first 20 minutes.
The Redbirds got back into the game in the second half by knocking down 51.9
percent of their shots in the period including a 7-of-13 effort from
beyond the arc. Indiana State also improved to 48.3 percent shooting but had
just one triple in the second half.
Indiana State led by 11 points with 3:41 remaining but had that lead cut to
77-73 with 34 seconds remaining on a 3-pointer from Zeke Upshaw. Arop was
fouled on the next Sycamore possession and hit just 1-of-2 shots from the
free throw line. Nick Zeisloft managed to get off a shot from beyond the arc
in the closing seconds but it was off the mark, allowing Indiana State to
escape with the win.
The Sycamores had a 38-18 advantage on points in the paint and outrebounded
the Redbirds by a 46-36 margin.

Modern Anti-Intellectualism And Why The "Parlor Pinks" Are Hated.
Just as I presume every culture on Earth has a euphemism for "(decency edit)," it seems as if they all have terms to describe what are known in America as "limousine liberals," or as Tom Wolfe famously dubbed them, the purveyors of "radical chic." – Jim Goad (HT: Takimag.com) The Guardian UK asked a question that seems to weigh on the public intellectuals in England. | Read More »

Equipped with the FIT RC2 damper, a cartridge unit that uses an expandable bladder to seal suspension oil from air, it provides consistent action during heavy-duty use. The damper has both low- and high-speed compression tuning. This means you can dial the fork to offer a bob-reducing, pedal-friendly platform with the low-speed adjustment. Or back it off for plusher, small-bump compliant ride. The high-speed adjustment lets you find your preference for large hit resistance. This versatility lets you set the Float for optimum trail manners, whether you've got a monster climb or want to blaze the descent.
Not only does the air spring reduce weight, it also has a unique curve. It's tuned to provide a plush ride at the top of the stroke with a progressive ramp-up to avoid bottoming at the end. The air spring is also simple to reduce travel internally, by adding spacers under the air piston, if you'd like to customize your front end's ride height or headtube angle.
The Fox 34 Float 27.5 160 FIT RC2 Fork's lower legs and crown are powder coated in black. It has a 1-1/8 to 1.5in tapered steerer tube and post mount disc brakes. The stiff 34mm chassis is stiff and strong, and made even better by the inclusion of a 15QR thru-axle system.

Is this a 2013 or 2014 fork?
Is this a 2013 or 2014 fork?
This is a 2013 model fork.
If you have any other questions please email me at email@example.com
Is it possible reduce the travel of this...
Is it possible reduce the travel of this fork to 150mm?
It is possible to reduce the travel of this fork, I have worked on a lot of these in the past and there is a special part you need to purchase. The name of the part is a shuttle bumper. It is possible to get this but you would have to talk with someone who knows what's going on to get you the right part.
If you need further assistance please email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com I can answer a lot of your technical questions. I can also assist you with orders.

GMD: Hoarding Husband
by Slacker And Steve
posted Apr 3 2014 3:26PM
Nathan likes to keep sentiments and mementos from special moments in his life such as movie tickets, love letters, report cards, etc. Amy, his wife, thinks that he's basically hoarding the stuff and it's getting out of hand. She wants him to get rid of the stuff or stop hoarding, he doesn't see anything wrong with wanting to keep things from special moments.
Slacker wonders why, if Steve can't wait to throw away papers and purge other stuff why does he hold on to those old sentiments. He says that he doesn't even save his own kid's drawings and crafts they make. He thinks if you have the memory you don't need the memento.
Steve says he does the same thing and saves his old tickets stubs, carnival prizes from old girlfriends, etc. He doesn't think there's anything wrong with keep old knick knacks to help remember special moments. He tries to keep just the mile stone mementos and not the unimportant mementos like a random receipt.
Do you think he should get rid of the mementos and stop hoarding them or do you think it's completely acceptable?
I myself save a lot of my mementos such as tickets stubs, sticky notes, cards, etc. But I only keep one small box of that stuff and clear it out now and then. I think it's fine if Nathan keeps certain mementos like his first date ticket, and his children's drawings, but I don't think he should save random unimportant things that don't have much sentimental meaning.

Please Enter Your Comments Below
I understand the desire to keep momentous, and to have items that will someday reflect memories for your children. My mother had a filing cabinet where each of her 3 daughters have there very own drawer. She kept report cards, letters, rewards, and art that we expressed pride in. As we got older we sometimes would find something was so special to us that we would ask our mom to put it in our files. Our files are really fun to go through and easily accessible. They bring back memories and bring us closer when we go through them. When we became teens our mom bought us large bins with lids. We were allowed to fill these with keepsakes of our own choosing, but we didn't keep what didn't fit. Mine is filled with stuffed animals, my favorite dress, and a Barbie. If I ever want to put something else in there I can, but something will have to go. By keeping a filing cabinet or bin specifically for keepsakes you pick the most significant things to keep and don't have to worry about it becoming too much. As a side note, letting your kids pick what to keep is fun because it shows you what is important to them and teaches them organization. My sister went through hers yesterday and found an old cheap baseball card of a player that went by the name Strawberry. She remembered asking our mom to put it in her file because she liked that he went by that name and felt it was significant enough to keep. The card is only worth $1.25, but we had a lot of fun reminiscing about her fascination with baseball cards and her thought process as a kid.

If it's on wheels and you can race it, then Mike Fornataro has probably built it, driven it, or seen it. The head of marketing and sales at National Trail Raceway drops by to visit Dan "Boots" Longenette, Lex McAllister, and Randy Rhinehart on Auto Smarts presented by Germain.com, Saturday from 1 to 3pm on 610 WTVN. The host of the weekly Bits from the Pits segment slows down long enough to spend an hour with the Auto Smarts gang. Mike will update everyone on the plans at NTR for this season and talk about Auto Smarts Day at National Trail Raceway coming up on July 24th. Plus, if you have a question about a classic car or an NHRA related question, Mike, Boots, and Lex can come up with an answer faster than your reaction time at the tree! Are you searching for a way to find out about your vehicle's fuel mileage and how to improve it? Forget it! Just go to fuelmileage.com. Sean Fultz is the brain behind this concept and joins the gang to talk about his fuel mileage tracking application and how his user friendly web site, their data rich mobile site, or their convenient text message service are all designed to make it as painless as possible to track your fuel mileage and find ways to improve your gas mileage.
While you're putting time and effort into improving your fuel mileage, are you exerting the same brain power to make sure your rights as a new car owner are protected? Michael Sacks is. Consumer rights, when it comes to your vehicle, are his specialty in his weekly 1-800-Lemon Law Lemon Aid Minute. Check out his website at www.lemonlaw.com.
Call us during the show at 821-WTVN or toll free at 800-610-WTVN. We'll have O'Charley's gift certificates up for grabs for some lucky callers. You can always email the show, or listen online at www.autosmartsradio.com. Check us out on Facebook and Twitter!

BOSTON (AP) — A new study shows that fish swimming in water with mere traces of an anti-anxiety drug become hyper, antisocial and aggressive -- and even get the munchies.
The research adds to mounting evidence that medicines that get into rivers and streams can alter the biology and behavior of fish and other marine animals.
In the study, Swedish researchers exposed fish to a drug called oxazepam (ox-A-ze-pam). They used the kind of very low concentrations of drugs found in waterways. The findings suggest that the drug-induced changes could threaten fish populations and perhaps upset marine environments.
Scores of drugs reach waterways around the world after they pass unmetabolized through the bodies of people and get flushed into waste water systems. The study was released online Thursday in the journal Science.

Hi - I thought we could try out a monthly update in Preschoolers, like we do in Infants and Toddlers. If it seems unnecessary we can just stick to the I/T monthly updates!
DD (2.8) has been doing a lot more pretend play lately. She's really not interested in traditional toys or playthings at all. It's leaving me sort of perplexed about what to "play" with her when we have time at home. She will take very random things and make up little stories/scenarios, which I find fascinating, but it is very random when and where she'll do this. When she seems bored or at a loss of what to do, I don't know the best type of activity to steer her towards or do with her, and don't know what supplies/props to have on hand. I keep thinking she's bored of her toys and maybe we need new toys, but she really does not show much interest in toys! She played for about 20 minutes with a couple of random earrings that were in a box of costume jewelry I let her play with. I listened in and it was this whole scenario of her pressing the post of the earring gently into her foot and saying things like, "You need a shot? Ok, it will hurt just a little bit. Don't worry, I'm here." over and over. Fascinating.
I actually asked her if there were any toys or things she'd like to have. She said, "new books" but otherwise couldn't come up with anything. I'm certainly not complaining that she wants new books!
She is not a huge fan of dress-up and not as interested with play-food and tea party stuff as she once was. She also does not have a lot of patience for drawing, although I think she might be on the verge of having more interest in painting. Thoughts on things to have on-hand to inspire her imagination?

I play Travellar and don't really like the world maps.
They are ORANGE PEEL style and lack .....Eye candy!
So I intend to stylize the world maps and add some BLING to this part of the game.
I intend to use my laptop with another monitor hooked up to it to display info to the players so no printing will be necessary
and the color will remain vibrant and easily changeable.
Critique, observations and tip are appreciated

The one prob I see with this style, is that it only shows the 1 side. The orange peel at least had the entire surface shown. Having said that, do you thing that you could do both hemispheres on the sheet? I do like this over the original style very much.

Please take my critiques as someone who Wishes he had the Talent
The planetary image is pretty low quality. Was that a much smaller image that you scaled up? If you can find or make a higher resolution version of it, that will probably look better.
The edges of the system bands circles are very rough.
To give it just that little bit of extra sci-fi dazzle, try putting a very faint glow on all of the green to give it a phosphorescent look. If you don't have a glow tool, you can just make a copy of all of it, put a blur on it, and reduce the opacity to taste.
You have a typo in the lower-right box: Syestem bands.
Are you using Gimp for this? You might get nicer results from Inkscape, which will give you very clean sharp lines regardless of resolution. I used Illustrator for my own Traveller system maps: Hoffer's Wake « Bryan Ray, Visual Effects Artist
I'd link to the thread where I posted them here, but search is still off-line.
This is the concept for the layout, and I appreciate the input.
I intend to get the general look before I sink any real time into the project.
Done in Photoshop. I'll check the link...thanks!

I too like the idea of and entire planets surface being mapped for logistics.
But.... I am drawn to the art side of this project.
The Travellar game I play seldom has need of an accurate world map.
I guess I'm going for a SHOCK AND AWE style

Albert Einstein
The planets do look a bit as if they were low res images that have been scaled up. Not sure what your creation method for them is but there are several great planet tutorials for Photoshop over at Deviantart that may offer you tips on how to improve them. In addition, you might want to think about adding a bit more shading and atmosphere to the planets (a discussion on how to do so is included in several of the tutorials at DA). The overall layout is nice though.
Ah, I hadn't realized that it was a mock-up. In that case, disregard comments about fuzzy lines and aliasing, though my recommendation of vector artwork stands. Particularly if you come up with an easy-to-run pan and zoom display interface that will take svg. Being able to zoom in without losing quality is stellar, if you'll excuse the pun.
You can always add a different style of map later on if you need the entire planet's surface for some reason. That may or may not be an issue depending on the style of your game. My players tend to avoid planetary surfaces, preferring to stay in space as much as possible, so I don't really need entire planetary maps most of the time. They get all crazy about detailed star systems, though.

WOW! these are some GOOD tips!
I will start on these TUTs and see if I can produce a higher quality mock up / template.
Also thinking of making a VERY large star-field background so so I can pan around and the profiles wont have identical backgrounds.

The HS System excels in low light so you can capture the real atmosphere of the moment without flash or tripod. Advanced DIGIC 5 processing and a high sensitivity 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor give excellent image quality in all situations.
Intelligent IS combats camera shake to ensure all your photos and videos are sharp and detailed even at full zoom or in low light. It automatically adjusts the optical Image Stabilizer to the scene from 7 modes to prevent blur.
Wi-Fi lets you connect your camera wirelessly with other devices* such as your smartphone, for quick and easy sharing of photos and movies with friends and family.

Effortlessly shoot great photos or movies with Smart Auto, which detects the scene and selects optimal settings from 58 variables (21 in movies). It also works with faces stored in Face ID and adapts shooting according to registered age – for example turning off flash and sounds when a sleeping baby is detected.
Face ID registers up to 12 faces of family and friends, so they are automatically the focusing priority in every shot, and tags images with their names so they are easy to find in playback.
Use High-speed Burst to capture non-stop, fast-paced action or slow things down with Super Slow Motion Movie.

Video: RAW VIDEO: Rick Curl Leaves Courtroom After Guilty Plea
Video: Prosecutor Comments After Rick Curl Pleads Guilty
(WUSA9) -- One of DC's most prominent Olympic swim coaches pleaded guilty Thursday to sexually abusing one of his then-13-year-old swimmers.
Sixty-three-year-old Richard "Rick" Curl of Vienna, Va. pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Circuit Court on Thursday to one count of child sexual abuse in relation to a case from the 1980s, according to the State's Attorney for Montgomery County.
Rick Curl abused Kelly Currin decades ago, but WUSA9's Bruce Leshan reports she felt compelled to go to authorities when she saw a photo of him coaching other young girls.
Rick Curl left the courthouse with sentencing still hanging over him. He will be sentenced on May 23. He faces up to 15 years in prison and will be listed in the sexual offender's registry, according to the state's attorney. He would face far more time if he had abused Currin under new, much tougher child abuse laws.
Prosecutor Debbie Feinstein said about Currin after the plea, "This has had a lifelong impact on her. It doesn't go away."
Currin stood silently next to the prosecutor.
The charge came after one of Rick Curl's best swimmers from nearly a quarter century ago, Kelley Currin, went public with allegations that he sexually abused her over the course of years starting when she was 13 and he was 33. Curl took a sudden leave of absence from the hugely popular Curl-Burke Swim Clubs.
He soon thereafter stepped aside, and the club was sold and renamed the National Capital Swim Club.
Kelly Currin is now in her 40's. She said in July 2012 that Rick Curl started grooming her for sexual abuse when she was just 12 and a half -- and he was in his 30's.
More than two decades ago, the young swimmer agreed to keep quiet about the molestation as part of a $150,000 settlement, but later decided she could no longer remain silent.
"This guy should be in jail and not center stage at the Olympics," Currin told WUSA9's Bruce Leshan by phone from Texas last year.
Currin said Curl performed oral sex on her when she was his 13-year-old swimmer in the Georgetown Prep pool. When she was 14, she said he had had sexual intercourse with her in an office at the school.
"In my 14-year-old mind... I loved him.... He could have told me to do anything, because I trusted him," Currin told Leshan in 2012.
Feinstein said after the plead on Thursday, "When you are 13, 14, 15, you're not in a voluntary relationship with someone who is 20 years your senior, who is your coach. That is not voluntary. That is abuse."
In September 2012, USA Swimming banned Rick Curl for life after learning of the improper relationship. Curl was scheduled for a hearing before the National Board of Review but told the governing body he was waiving his right to challenge the case. He voluntarily gave up his membership and was slated to be added to USA Swimming's list of banned individuals, which is published on the organization website.
Prosecutors declined to say whether there might be other victims, but they urge others victims of child abuse to come forward, no matter how old the allegations. There is no statute of limitations for child abuse in Maryland.
Feinstein said, "It is a victim intense crime that the perpatrator should be held accountable for, regardless of how many years later the victim comes forward."
Currin says she's saved her words for her victim impact statement at Curl's sentencing.

The Real Cost of Workers' Comp Fraud
It's not surprising that the insurance industry and workers' compensation lawyers are sounding alarms about the high cost of workers' comp fraud. They're not exactly objective observers. But while worker compensation fraud does hurt us all, the pain may not be quite as big as these entities make it sound.
