Dolphins DE Kendall Langford inspired by Paul Soliai's turnaround
Miami Dolphins defense lineman Kendall Langford can't help but watch and admire Paul Soliai's come up in one season.
Soliai - who was drafted a round later than Langford, a year earlier than Langford - just turned in his first ever solid NFL season as a part-time starter.
As a reward (really, it was more like blackmail) the Miami Dolphins slapped a franchise tag on Soliai, guaranteeing this 340-pound nose tackle $14.7 million in 2011 to prevent him from hitting the free agent market, where his serviced would have been in great demand.
So… in one season the team's players watched Soliai transform himself from a three-year disappointment into the team's franchise player. Langford admits that kind of turnaround has been inspirational, especially when considering Langford's been a solid starter for three years, and is entering a contract year after the 2011 season.
"Paul stepped up big time for us, had a great year. Paul is a big strong fellow and has done a good job for us in the middle. I think he'll have an even better [season] next year," said Langford, who in 2010 was rated the 5th most productive 3-4 defensive end (highest of all Dolphins) by ProFootball Focus. "I just [got to] go out and work hard. [Soliai] earned it. He had a great year! He worked hard in practice and did everything they asked him to do. I just want to go and do the same thing, and hopefully I get rewarded."
Langford, who contributed 47 tackles, three sacks and forcing two fumbles in his third season as a starter, is slated to make $1.4 million in base salary next season, and after that he'll become a free agent.
His hope is that another solid – if not sensational performance as a starter- will provide him the financial security that has escaped him so far (consider most NFL players make their REAL money on the second contract).
"I would love to be here with the Dolphins so hopefully I get rewarded by them," Langford said, along with a few other things – like praising Channing Crowder for his contributions to the defense – during this Kup & Kelly interview you find above.
Langford and his agent have talked to the Dolphins about a contract extension repeatedly going back to last year, but haven't made any headway.
Soliai was in the same position in 2010, and eventually wedged the team between a rock and a hard place, forcing the franchise tag, which was needed because Soliai's presence stabilizes the Dolphins' 3-4 defense.
The Dolphins have plenty of defensive ends. Outside of cornerback, it's the team's deepest position. But Langford has proven through his play that he possesses more upside than the rest (hard to tell about Jared Odrick) because of his age, and consistent steady play as a run stuffer. The team's also invested three years into his development, and will begin a fourth as soon as the lockout is over.
It'll be interesting to see if the Dolphins become proactive, trying to re-sign him to a new deal before or during the 2011 season, or if General Manager Jeff Ireland rolls the dice like they did with Soliai, putting Langford in a play-for-pay predicament.

Is Matt Flynn the best fit for the Miami Dolphins?
You hear all the time how the Green Bay Packers are a family organization, but it is hard to understand what that truly means unless you're inside the family, or associated with someone who is.
Because of the hiring of Joe Philbin, the Miami Dolphins now have that connection.
Because Philbin didn't raid any of Green Bay's assistants, he'll stay in the family.
Just like this franchise became Dallas-South for a while during the Bill Parcells era, many expect the Packers-to-Miami connection to grow over the next few seasons.
That connection could start with Matt Flynn, who has spent the past four years as Green Bay's backup quarterback, where he was groomed by Philbin.
Flynn, a 2008 Man Crush alum who I've loved since his first start at LSU, will be the top quarterback on the free agent market not named Peyton Manning.
And coincidentally, the Dolphins will likely have to pick between Flynn and Manning, who I reported has been leaning toward joining the Dolphins weeks ago (I hear its Miami, Washington, New York Jets or Arizona for Manning).
Outside of competition from Seattle, Washington and maybe Cleveland, complicating the Flynn-to-Miami connection is the possibility that Green Bay might place a franchise tag on him.
The hopes of trading Flynn for a draft pick just like the New England Patriots did with Matt Cassel is out there. I'm told the Packers are seriously considering it.
But at a cost of $14.4 million guaranteed for one season that would be risky because if the Packers tagged Flynn and don't find a trade partner they would be stuck paying him more than Rodger to hold a clipboard.
And Flynn's salary would eat up Green Bay's cap space, limiting their ability to make any offseason moves till a deal is done.
Without Miami involved, can Green Bay chance it considering Cleveland and Washington are expected to get into a bidding war for Robert Griffin III?
Tagging Flynn also wouldn't be a very family thing to do. But the way Packers coach Mike McCarthy talked Flynn up at the NFL combine, it is hard not to wonder if he's not making a hard sell for a trade.
"Based on what I see everyday in the classroom, practice field, he's ready," McCarthy said. "It's his time to play. And you don't ever know. You don't ever know if a backup quarterback can take that next step and go out and play 16 games. I know mentally he's ready, emotionally he's definitely ready, but until you play the position and go play those 1,100, 1,200 snaps, that's when you really find out. And I think Matt's ready for that."
I then asked McCarthy want qualifies Flynn to be viewed as a solid starting NFL quarterback option.
"I'll tell you what, he's very consistent, the same guy every day," McCarthy said. "I'm talking about emotionally, mentally and physically. He can make all the throws, does a very good job of running the system. The same game plan that we had in for Aaron Rodgers, we went with the same one with (Flynn's) opportunities. He has the ability to play the moving phase and the action phase and also drop back and throw the ball on some deep, out-breaking balls. I think he's very savvy in the pocket and people underestimate his athletic ability. He's a very good football player when he leaves the pocket."
So, is that a head coach looking out for family, or someone who is shopping one of his assets?
I'm a BIG fan of Flynn. He's accurate, makes quick decisions, can make every throw, and plays with moxie. That's everything the Dolphins want in a starting quarterback.
He's also know Philbin's offense, which would speed up the winning process for Miami. But if the Packers tagged Flynn I'd vote they should be forced to keep him.
There's no guarantee he's at the top of Miami's wish list – depends on who you ask – and the Packers know that. So there's no guarantee Miami and Green Bay could keep this all in the family.
Right now EVERYONE is playing a big game of poker with Flynn, who will land a five or six-year deal that pays him $8-10 million a season, and at some point one of these teams will throw their cards in.

More: You took a 15-year break from the industry and then returned with a hilarious film called Monster-in-Law. What made you come back to the big screen after a long hiatus?
JF: I left because—and it wasn't because of Ted Turner, although I couldn't be working and married to him at the same time because he is 24/7—I found that I was not enjoying acting anymore. I was really unhappy as a woman, and when I am really unhappy, I find it difficult to be creative. It was agony for me, and I could see it on my face when I looked at the last movies I made. I said to myself, I am going to leave Hollywood, be a full-time activist and move to New Mexico. Then I met Ted and didn't have to move to New Mexico because he bought it [laughs]. I was with Ted for 10 years, and then in 2000 we split and I began to write my memoirs. After four years of writing, I realized I was a different person. Then I thought to myself, I think I could find pleasure again in working. Along came the script for Monster-in-Law, which was a blast to make and made me laugh. I have been acting ever since.
More: Another film you will be appearing in is The Butler, as Nancy Reagan.
JF: Robin Williams plays Truman, John Cusack plays Nixon, Alan Rickman plays Reagan and I play Nancy Reagan. They are all cameos. The main meat of the movie is the butler, played by Forest Whitaker, and his wife, played by Oprah. I had two days of work, and it was a lot of fun. I am happy to say that Nancy Reagan liked the fact I was playing her. I was pretty impressed with her involvement as first lady, and I think I even got to look like her.
More: Fans can find you on the small screen too. You're in the hit cable series The Newsroom.
JF: I am loving it, loving it, loving it! I was just at work yesterday. Wrapping your mouth around Aaron Sorkin's words is so much fun. All of the actors are just so nice and great to work with, and Aaron is just so talented.
More: Do you find there are more roles in television than in movies?
JF: Television is the place to go if you want great writing, edgy stuff and more outside the box.
More: You are also a best-selling author. Your last book, which came out in 2011, was called Prime Time: Love, Health, Sex, Fitness, Friendship, Spirit—Making the Most of All of Your Life. Why put it all out there?
JF: It changed my life. When I went down deep, I discovered not only do I love to write, but I write well. What was also gratifying to see was how well people responded. I then went to my publisher and said I wanted to write a book for adolescents on sexuality, and I did.
More: That's interesting.
JF: There are two books actually, and they will be out in 2014. One is for middle school, and the other for high school. But before I did that, my publisher wanted me to write a book based on my third act. So I made a list of all the things I wanted to know about aging. That book took me three years to write, because I traveled and did tons of research.
More: You are now an advice expert.
JF: I know—that's great, huh? I recently met somebody who told me she gave the book to scores of women and they all read it and follow my advice.
More: Did you learn something new about yourself through all these writing projects?
JF: Always. You have to dig down and be prepared to share what you have inside.

Seven sea turtle species swim in temperate and tropical seas worldwide. These include the green, loggerhead, hawksbill, olive ridley, Kemp's ridley, flatback, and leatherback sea turtles. Sea turtles have four flippers for swimming and, except for the leatherback turtle, a protective shell. Although it lacks a shell, the leatherback's huge size (it can weigh up to 2,000 pounds) and thick, oily skin let it travel into colder waters than any other type of sea turtle. Both male and female sea turtles can travel thousands of miles from feeding grounds to the waters just off nesting beaches. The adult female sea turtles return to land when they crawl out onto the nesting beaches to lay their eggs.
Unfortunately, sea turtles face many threats including plastic debris (such as grocery bags), accidental catch in fishing nets and fishing lines, illegal poaching, oil spills, and coastal development. You can help sea turtles by using reusable shopping bags, recycling used fishing line, and eating sustainable seafood.

A bill recently introduced in the New York City Council would limit the amount of time a foreign-born person can be detained for immigration purposes after the date of release by New York's Department of Corrections (DOC). The bill, Intro 656, is supported by a majority of Council members including Speaker Christine Quinn, Daniel Dromm, Melissa Mark-Viverito and 32 other Council members, rendering it veto-proof.
Intro 656 would prohibit the DOC from using city funds to extend the standard time to hold a non-criminal detainee so that the individual could be picked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), provided that: the individual has never been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony; is not a defendant in a pending criminal case; has no other warrants; has not previously been ordered deported; and is not on a terrorist watch list.
Council research has shown that more than 50 percent of the inmates in DOC custody had no prior convictions and, more importantly, that the close ties between DOC and ICE are eroding the trust between immigrants and local law enforcement. This type of mistrust makes immigrant crime victims much less willing to come forward, especially in cases of domestic violence. The bill states that for all of these reasons, the Council finds that cooperation between DOC and ICE cannot be supported by the Council and should not be supported by local tax-payer dollars.
"I am happy that Speaker Quinn is taking action on this important issue — saving the City up to $50 million a year while also protecting immigrants with no prior criminal record from unfair, lengthy detention periods," said Assemblyman Francisco Moya. "This proposal is tough on crime too, making sure that cooperation does take place in other cases […] this proposal also allows for the necessary cooperation between law enforcement agencies."

Have Miami Dolphins found any hidden gems?
The Miami Dolphins continue turning over plenty of little rocks trying to find talent before free agency and the NFL draft process gets into gear.
That's Jeff Ireland's thing as General Manager, and he's taken that approach every offseason. This year a handful of players signed futures contracts this month, and one CFL standout, Marcus Thigpen, was added to the bunch.
Truth is…. this is really old news, but for some reason the team just acknowledged the re-signing of receiver Chris Hogan, nose tackle Isaako Aaitui, safety Vincent Agnew, cornerback Marcus Brown, linebacker Jonathan Freeny and safety Anderson Russell.
They all ended last season on the team's practice squad roster. Miami re-signed them a week after the season concluded.
Aaitui, a athletic nose tackle, is probably the most talented player in the group. Freeny, a former Rutgers standout, also showed a little something during last year's training camp before getting released and spending the season with the Chicago Rush (Arena ball). However, it's telling that the former Rutgers player wasn't offered a practice squad spot last year.
But all of these signings should be viewed as long shots to make the 53-man roster. That means they are training camp bodies unless someone drastically improves their game, winning over the new coaching staff.
Veteran cornerback Jonathan Wade was also re-signed to a contract that has a cap value of $552,500.
Wade spent a couple of weeks on the roster when Vontae Davis was nursing his hamstring injury, but he was ultimately cut after two games. However, the team re-signed him at the end of the season. In fact, Wade attended the team's final meeting (which I found a little odd at the time).
Coincidentally, Wade played for the Bengals in 2010, which means he's already played for new defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle. That season Wade started three of the four games he played with the Bengals, and contributed 14 tackles. But he wasn't re-signed, which is telling.
Thigpen is the one newcomer who might be intriguing considering he showed some sizzle as a returner in the CFL.
Thigpen, who played for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last season, had a brief stints with Philadelphia and Denver in the NFL, but played in the CFL the past three seasons.
Of course this signing is in the same mold as Ryan Grice-Mullen, who had a cup of coffee with the Dolphins in 2010 before being waived early in training camp.
Or how about safety Mark Restelli, who was signed from the Edmonton Eskimos last year, and did very little to prove he's worthy of an NFL roster spot.
But you never know….
Thigpen was a tailback at Indiana, but the Dolphins have him listed as a receiver. His CFL coach told me that's the best spot for him considering he's going to earn his NFL stripes as a return specialist, and special teams contributor.
Last season Thigpen caught 28 passes for 382 yards and two touchdowns in for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and gained 82 yards and scored one rushing touchdown on his 23 carries.
For those who want to point out that Cameron Wake made it to the NFL and became a starter, if not star, I'd like to point out Wake signed a four-year, $4.9 million contract that paid him a $1 million signing bonus coming from the CFL.
Thigpen received a $2,500 signing bonus from the Dolphins.
That should help you put it in perspective.
But it should be fun to watch Thigpen try to become the next Chris Williams or Phillip Livas. Dolphins fans do love themselves a return specialist.

His parents, Deborah and Steve, have a second home on Marsac Ave. in Park City and have been spending their winters in town since their son was in elementary school.
So, it will be a special event when Dolly's Bookstore hosts an author event on Sunday, Jan. 13, from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m., for Grant Ginder who recently published his second novel, "Driver's Education."
The book is about an elderly man, Alistair, who gives his grandson, Colin, a task to bring his old '56 Chevy Bel Air named Lucy from New York to San Francisco. So, Colin and his grumpy friend Randall embark on the adventure with a three-legged cat named Mrs. Dalloway.
Although Ginder's first book, "This Is How It Starts," which is based directly on his personal experiences as a speechwriter in Washington, D.C., was written rather quickly, he approached "Driver's Education" in a more thoughtful way.
"There were two seemingly unrelated threads that came together to form this book, and I end up writing about things that I'm obsessed about and trying to figure out." Ginder explained.
One was his 90-year-old grandmother.
"I'm very close to her and she's gets confused often and doesn't remember a lot of things," he said. "But when I was growing up, she would tell me these incredible stories about her life and my mother's life."
Ginder loved these stories and now, he finds himself telling these stories back to his grandmother, who has forgotten quite a bit of her past.
"When I do retell them to her, there is an impulse for me to brush them up and make them a little better," he said. "So, storytelling was one thread I wanted to explore with the book."
The other thread is the relationship between a father and a son.
"While the characters in the book are not based on anyone in my family, I do think the experiences of a son trying to relate to his father, and vice versa, are universal," Ginder said. "All children have that period where their fathers stop being that perfect patriarch and they begin realizing their fathers are human and flawed. While I'm very close with my dad, but I do understand that experience."
Weaving those strands together was made possible by introducing the road trip, which was based on a true event, into the book, Ginder said.
"I did it with my friend," he said. "We drove cross-country for the purpose of researching the book, so I would have things to write about regarding the things we did and the facts about the cities we visited."
As opposed to "This Is Where It Starts," which was written in four months, Ginder took his time with "Driver's Education."
"I worked closely with my editor Sarah Knight, and it was a much more roll-up-your-sleeves project," he said. "It took me a couple of years to finish."
Ginder became interested in storytelling while in grade school, because he wanted to be creative, but art wasn't his strong point.
"Even my stick figures look abstract, so I didn't think there was much of a future for me in visual arts," he laughed. "But I remember in my elementary school in Southern California, we had an activity called the Invention Convention where students were required to come up with an invention or come up with a story. And for the first few years, I tried to come up with an invention, and he only one that did well, actually, was a ski map that you could hang around your neck. I did it because every time my dad and I were in Park City on a ski lift, he would want to check out a map and end up dropping a glove. So, I wanted to fix that and made a map he could hang around his neck."
While that invention worked well, Ginder eventually turned to writing.
"I don't remember if any of my stories won the convention, but I remember how much I loved writing and storytelling," he said.
Ginder began his speechwriting career in Washington, D.C., after graduating with a degree in Political Science from the University of Pennsylvania, but eventually got bored with politics.
"I still liked the storytelling aspect of speechwriting, because within each speech, it didn't matter if it was about climate change or national security, it was still writing a story," he said. "I found that I wanted to write stories that I come up with, rather than giving voice to someone else, and that's when I ended up writing 'This Is How It Starts.'"
Ginder is now 140 pages into a third book, but is looking forward to his appearance at Dolly's.
"I would like people to come, because it's a special event for me because of all the times I've visited that store," he said.
Writer and part-time Parkite Grant Ginder, author of the novel "Driver's Education," will be at Dolly's Bookstore, 510 Main St., on Sunday, Jan. 13, from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. for a book signing. The event is free to the public. For more information, visit http://books.simonandschuster.com/Driver%27s-Education/Grant-Ginder/9781439187371

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Small Fruits & Berries
Grape Pruning: Three Systems (page 2 of 2)
by National Gardening Association Editors
Spur Pruning: Two-Arm
In this system you develop two permanent arms with spurs that produce fruiting wood each year.
Second Winter
Remove all canes except the best two; tie these to the support wire. The next summer each bud along the arm will send out a fruiting shoot. Weave these in and out of the upper wires.
Third Winter
Check the horizontal branches for the strongest vertical shoots and cut each of these back to two buds. These wilt be the fruiting spurs. Space them about 6 to 10 inches apart. Every bud you leave on the spurs will produce a fruiting shoot the following year. Each year, repeat the process.
Spur Pruning: Head-Trained
For this system, the vine will need only a strong, vertical, 4-foot post for support.
1. Allow the vine to grow to the top of the post and cut just above that point. Tie to the post. Remove any branches below. Next year, let four or five branches grow.
2. In the winter, cut each of the branches back to two or three buds. Remove any weak branches and any on tower parts of the trunk. Buds left on spurs will produce fruiting shoots next year. You can allow more branches to develop as the vine matures so there will be more fruiting shoots each year. A mature head-trained vine can have more than seven main branches.

Harlem based singer Giovanni James (previously known as Jelly Jells) has just released a new single to go with his new moniker.
When you listen to "Shining," think a cross between Van Hunt and old Nelly Furtado – that's right around where we'd place it – and whatever that is, is pretty freaking catchy.
The track is part of the upcoming Ponyboy's Gold EP.

Sheriff's office warns of jury duty scam
Published: Thursday, February 28, 2013 at 2:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 28, 2013 at 2:12 p.m.
The Davidson County Sheriff's Office Civil Division is warning residents about a scam concerning a summons to jury duty.
The operators of the scam send out text messages or phone individuals, leaving voice-mail messages saying the person has failed to report to jury duty and may now have a warrant issued against them, according to a press release from the sheriff's office. The scam is also trying to obtain personal information on individuals, such as Social Security numbers, home addresses and other private information.
Anyone summoned to jury duty by the sheriff's office will receive notice in writing by mail delivered to their home address only. Deputies will not contact anyone by phone, text, email or any other means.
Residents who are contacted by someone involved with this scam should contact the Davidson County Sheriff's Office Civil Division at 242-2243.

How are the words "engineering" or "engineer" translated in Cantonese?
I love what I do and my family has no idea what I really do. I can explain it in English, but I have a hard time thinking of a way to explain it in Chinese. I am a computer engineer (and student) and I thought just saying "computer engineer" in chinese would make sense, i.e, 电脑工程师. I feel like I have to explain the engineering portion. I presume computers make sense to my native chinese people, but engineering isnt.
What I thought up was saying "I build computers" but its so inaccurate its almost offensive to myself.
Engineering in english is someone who designs and builds a structure which will "fix" or improve a certain way of performing something, i.e improving a systems using whatever field of focus (mechanical, electrical, computer, etc) to improve how things are done. e.g, Cellphones were engineered to remove people from a land-line (very crude example), or cars moved people away from horse carriages.
good reference is from Engineering: Wiki :
Engineering is the discipline, art, skill and profession of acquiring and applying scientific, mathematical, economic, social, and practical knowledge, in order to design and build structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes.

Written by: P&N February 07 2011
According to the Chinese Zodiac, babies born between February 3, 2011, and January 22, 2012, are Wu Xing Rabbits. Consider these ancient beliefs as you prepare for your new bunny's arrival.
- The element of "Wu Xing," which translates to "metal" in Chinese, gives 2011-born babes greater intensity, strength and resilience than other Rabbits. (The last generation of Wu Xing Rabbits was born in 1951!)
- Children born in this year will be sensitive, creative and compassionate creatures who cherish family and friends. They also are sophisticated and refined, though typically homebodies rather than tots-about-town.
- Expect your offspring to be detail-oriented and hone in on visual cues, specifically color. Decorate baby's nursery in aqua, white or green (the sign's colors), as the cool palette will provide an environment that fosters growth and development.
- Be ready for a talker! Rabbits are intelligent with a knack for verbal expression. Prolific actors and writers born under this sign include Orson Welles, Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant and Lewis Carroll.
- Rabbits make successful politicians, diplomats and judges because they consider every angle of a conflict before calmly reaching the best conclusion. Don't be surprised when your child considers the pros and cons of almost every decision he has to make. And trust his choices—rabbits are keen to making wise assessments.
- Keep a baby journal or scrapbook during your pregnancy. Because of the sentimental nature of his sign, baby will deeply appreciate reading your prenatal thoughts and insights once he's grown.

At WarmlyYours we know that giving back to a community doesn't simply mean hiring employees and purchasing from community businesses. Being part of a community means giving more than we take. It means finding ways to make a real and tangible differences in the lives of people around us.
Robert Crown Elementary School is part of the Wauconda Community School District here in Illinois. Like schools all around the country, Robert Crown has students hungry for knowledge, passionate teachers, and a community eager to support their schools. What they don't have is enough resources to provide a 21st century, technology-centered education.
As WarmlyYours has continued to grow and expand, we've outgrown some of our computer equipment. In non-technical terms, our customers have ordered so much from us that our servers are close to capacity.
With nearly $1,200 in computer equipment, we knew that we could have sold some of the equipment but our commitment to the city where we live made the decision clear.
We contacted Robert Crown elementary with a very simple message: We want to help now and later. Right now, we have 22 computers and servers to donate and later, we'll have much more. The school personnel at Robert Crown were not only receptive but grateful. WarmlyYours donated this equipment and as of now, this equipment is being used in their classrooms.
Other companies view helping the community as something you do when the economy is good and business is great. At WarmlyYours we know that community needs don't stop because the economy is slow.
Maybe that's why WarmlyYours hasn't felt the crippling effects of the economy; giving back is the right thing to do and when you do something with no expectation of something in return, somehow, good things continue to come your way.

work great for arthritis
One of my hands is severely arthritic, especially the thumb. When I swim the mere pressure of the water on my hand hurts my thumb, like it's bending backwards. I can cushion my thumb in the hand paddle, and strap it close enough to my wrist that I am now able to swim not only comfortably but more powerfully.
Santa Cruz, CA
Nice Fit
Pleased. Smaller hand size is better to control.
Pulaski, VA
it looks nothing like the picture
I am in utter shock. Did I get a defective one? Did the switch the design but forgot to switch the picture? It does not have the strap nuy just flimsy plastic cables. I bought because of what I saw on the pictures and I felt the strap woul be easy to use for some one with arthritis. Instead, the plastic ropes are hard use.

Give your shoulders a swim workout
I purchased these to strengthen my shoulders as part of my workouts. I tried gloves but they were heavy and awkward. I like the feeling of slicing through the water with these paddles, and they give me a workout without hurting. They are adjustable for small hands.

Hand Paddles
Have used larger paddles in the past with too much strain on shoulders. These "pull" paddles are just the right size and feel great on longer pull sets in the water. Still use my other paddles when I really want to work out. these are great on the easy days.
Raleigh NC
Great for swim workouts!
I use these paddles daily I enjoy the resistance they give me during my workout. I have gone through many of swim gloves and these, I think, I will have for a while! Great product I don't have to worry about stretching, fading, or short time wear! I highly reccommend these paddles for added resistance to your swim!

Reviews for Lemonade Cheesecake Parfaits
"The graham crackers make this recipe"
"I must be the only one who had a problem with getting the cheesecake layer to set. I don't know if using fat-free half and half made a difference, but it's the only thing I could think of that would have maybe caused a problem. Despite hours of refrigeration (and even a trip to the freezer to see if that would help), it came out like a thick liquid. If I make this again, I might try adding more gelatin to the mixture. It would have helped if the recipe had indicated approximately how much time each layer needed to set. I had high hopes for this recipe, but not much luck for me."
"This was wonderful!"
"Could this be made with Splenda Blend and lowfat cream cheese?"
"Just got this recipe this morning and decided to try it tonight and it was a great success."

Since the creation of the first pneumatic tire by Dunlop in 1888, Dunlop motorcycle tires list of accomplishments is impressive to say the least. Dunlop was first to use Kevlar belts, first to utilize radials, first to create the 20-inch off-road tire, and first to develop a premium tire for mini-bike riders. It's no wonder Dunlop motorcycle tires are the choice of many serious motorcycle riders.

2010 Green Book Award from the Center for Science Writings at Stevens Institute of Technology.
Price: $26.00
A Silent Spring for our era, this eloquent, urgent, fascinating book reveals how just 50 years of swift and dangerous oceanic change threatens the very existence of life on Earth.
Here, legendary marine scientist Sylvia Earle portrays a planet teetering on the brink of irreversible environmental crisis.
In recent decades we've learned more about the ocean than in all previous human history combined. But as our knowledge has exploded, so too has our power to upset the delicate balance of this complex organism.
Modern overexploitation has driven many species to the verge of extinction, from tiny but indispensable biota to magnificent creatures like tuna, swordfish, and great whales.
Since the mid-20th century about half our coral reefs have died or suffered sharp decline; hundreds of oxygen-deprived "dead zones" blight our coastal waters; and toxic pollutants afflict every level of the food chain.
Fortunately, there is reason for hope, and what we door fail to doin the next ten years may well resonate for the next ten thousand.
The ultimate goal, Earle argues passionately and persuasively, is to find responsible, renewable strategies that safeguard the natural systems that sustain us. The first step is to understand and act upon the wise message of this accessible, insightful, and compelling book.
Marine biologist Sylvia Earle known as "Her Deepness" or "The Sturgeon General"has been an Explorer-in-Residence at the National Geographic Society since 1998. Named Time magazine's first "hero for the planet," Earle has pioneered research on marine ecosystems.
She has written more than 125 scientific and popular publications.
She has a bachelor's degree from Florida State University, a Ph.D. from Duke University, and 12 honorary doctorate degrees. She lives in Oakland, California.

Well, I open my eyes and I see things. I've seen spirits moving through the walls. I've seen a vortex coming through the wall. I've seen amorphous little balls of light bouncing all around in the front yard through the window. I've seen giant bugs on the floor. I was in a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas, and all I remember is standing on the bed and seeing the whole wall in front of me filled with lights that were [makes popping sound] popping like popcorn out of the wall. Then I'll wake up and I go "Wow, I was standing on my bed and staring at this wall."
Hmm I wonder what I'd be
it always seems imposible until it's done-nelson mandella
a house divided agaisnt itself cannot stand-abraham lincoln
gotta catch'em all-pokemon
Is this just what we think we'd be if we were a pokemon or is this an actual rpg, sorry but I had to ask.

"Lasers" In Stores Now!
Latest News
"Lasers" In Stores Now!Posted byMarch 08, 2011Filed under:25
I loved the album but it seemed much too short compared to the cool and food and liquor they each had like 20 songs so this seemed like a half album to me. also its ironic how lupe disses autotune in shining down but then has this random guy MDMA in three songs all with autotune. i love it all except the autotune the verses are very good maybe some more guest rappers as allhe had were singers but overall it was great
Congrats Lupe! Ur album is about 2 B # 1!!! Ur fans were dedicated && so determine 2 get this album release. Now it's a sucess. Keep up the good job. Ur fans LOVE you! :) I havent bought an album in yearsss but I had 2 show my support. This album is really good. I listen 2 it constantly & I recommend every1 2 BUY this album. Ur the best @ what u do Lupe! Nobody is touching u! I dont care how popular they are. U r numero uno! Keep doing ur thing! Ur a superstar!
This Album is Amazing i cant stop listening to it. Lupe you did amazing on this Album. Clearly my favorite artist. Now I wish the message you speak would get through the mines of the ignorant.
Lupe, I loved the album. I know that it was not all that you wanted it to be but your fans hear you loud and clear. As long as you continue to paint poodles, I will continue to support and admire the artist behind the brush strokes! Peace and much love to ya!
If you haven't received your digital pre-order go to http://support.topspinmedia.com/home idk if they allow links to be posted in the comments on here but that is the customer support link for the company who is distributing all that stuff. It can be found by clicking on by now for any LASERS product on the right --> then click support on the bottom then go to submit a request at the top of the new page you're brought to and tell them you didn't get your copy yet. They got back to me within about half an hour with a link to my download.
went and bought it yday now i aint guna lie it isnt as gud as his previous but dats coz of da basatrds at atlantic. but i aint dissapointed coss this is beta den all the other so called rap albums out der!!! alos i knw it is off topic but listening 2 lupes music u get ov sense ov achievemnt dat a fellow muslim brother is doing his best and understands the true meaning ov islam.
ive been waiting for this album to drop since last april when i went to the boston show of the LASERS NOT LOSERS tour... so i pre-ordered it and everything.. and still dont have it. disappointing, but im trying to stay patient. where are the digital pre-orders at???
Lupe I don't know about you man but I have to say I am glad that you have a desire to love people with your music. I have been growing in life and its so awesome to have a rapper in our day in time who understands how powerful love really is. I just wanted to let you know I tend to avoid a lot of music that is so full of hidden destructive messages and it blesses me to hear your music and feel the energy you put into it. It reminds me so much about how much power is in Gods written word, the same breath life that God breathed into Adam is the same breath life he breathed into his living word. When you read his rightly dived word with an honest desire to learn your mind gets healed its a true miracle, and I can only say this because I know it works. So I just wanted to convey and message and say from my heart just like it talks about in I Corinthians 13 how if you do things with charity (love) thats when you reap the benefits and i see a lot of love in your music. So thanks man keep loving people and remember who the true power base in life is.... GOD!
This is sooo wack! What was the point in a million dollar pre-order if it doesn't come on time?? I could've just paid a measly $10 and had it TODAY! Still loving Lupe but this is some garbage :( .....still waiting and trying to remember 2 smile...
I'm a disappointed fan!! I feel like I've been duped, hoodwinked, bamboozled... I bought the new Lupe CD with intentions of hearing some of the advertised tracks... (ie Words I Never Said, the Show Goes On and one of my favorites I'm Beaming). I play the entire cd as I do with all my cd's and I don't hear the track I'm Beaming. LUPE I'm a huge fan but I bought the album to hear your as advertised tracks, plus some hot new ones. How do you not put I'm Beaming on the album when that's what's advertised ALL over the web. I've been to all your concerts, Chicago Theatre summer 2009 & LaLaPolooza summer 2010 but I honestly feel like I should get my $$ back after buying this album with no I'm Beaming track. With love and respect -- Taylor
Yeah, I am having the same problem! I pre-ordered the digital album over a month ago and I have not received it! What's going on?
I ordered the digital copy like a month ago and they never told me how I would be receiving it so I just assumed they'd send an email but I haven't received any such email yet!!! What's good with that!!???!
I ordered the "Premium Pack" for the LASERS CD and I read that some people already have theirs shipped 3 days ago. Mines still says "Acknowledge" and on the right it says may take 72 hours shipping, does this mean it's on its way to me?
walmart didnt have it this morning, but target did. been a big fan since the beginning, lupe. Absolutly love this, be proud. this will be in my ears all day.
Soo ready for LASERS. I'm so mad before school I went to buy it from walmart and they don't have it yet >:(

If you have a website (Joomla or otherwise), and you have a vague interest in getting traffic, then pay per click (PPC) need to be part of your Search Engine (SEM) strategy.
Why is pay per click so useful? If you put an ad in a magazine about your product, you pay the magazine the add fee and it goes in. At that point you are hoping that the ad is compelling enough to get people to call/email/visit your site. If you get no leads from the ad, then you still had to pay the magazine the fee.
What exactly is email marketing?
It can be any number of things, at its most basic it is using email to communicate with your users, customers or stakeholders. Don't get confused by the word "marketing" here, I am using it in a very global sense:
- A information site might send out news about new content that has been added
- A non-profit organization might send news about its projects
- A subscription site might use a series of autoresponders to create e-courses
- A resteraunt site might send out coupons on a hot day for summer food specials
- A ecommerce site might use it to send follow up emails to customers, or emails to people that abandoned your cart
- A political campaign might send out emails to initiate donation drives
There are a number of great improvements to menus in Joomla 1.5. These are focussed on providing more flexibility to template designers and making Joomla sites more accessible and W3C valid. Specifically, significant improvments have been made to bulleted lists to now allow better submenus (for things like dropdown menus) and image replacement.
When I talk to clients, the usual comment about Joomla is that its a CMS for very small businesses or small personal sites. My ususal response is these two great sites, both are made with Joomla:
More and more bigger organizations are turning towards Open Source as a viable CMS solution.
Welcome to web 3.0!
Brad Baker, the man behind the curtain at the joomla.org forums made his first dev blog post a few days ago. He talked about some of the traffic that joomla.org gets. What was most interesting is that joomla.org just broke an Alexa rank of 500. That means it is now one of the 500 most visited site on the web.
He also noted that the forums are one of the 30th biggest on the web.
Great stuff!
Rob Schley just posted some interesting news at the main Joomla dev blog:
"During what is called the ìDeface Realtime Compoî Competition up to 150 Security Specialists, hackers, and crackers bomarded the CMS with attacks for 2 days straight without success. Both Joomla! and PHP-Nuke were evaluated during the competition and both systems received positive evaluations. Along with the positive evaluation, we received a certification from the WebSecure Group, declaring that Joomla! was reliable and recommended for use."
Its good to know that 150 hackers can't break into Joomla after two straight days. You can read more about it and the associated forum post on the Joomla dev blog.
Is is a bird?
Is it a plane?
No its an open source revolution, the birth of Joomla 1.5 beta finally arrives.
OScandy.com has made a very nice blog post on their website of their Top 10 Joomla! Admin Extensions. Check it out!
I stumbled upon this nice looking bit of css and thought I'd share. See the examples below. This is very easy to add these to a Joomla! template.
(Note: You may need to Shift+Refresh as the stylesheet may be cached.)
If you use Joomla! and want to spice up your content pages a bit, I've uploaded some Joomla! graphics and button elements for free download. The PSD and PNG layered source files are included. Feel free to use them as you like. Enjoy!
